Easter, Wise address faculty at annual meeting BY FARAZ MIRZA STAFF WRITER

Chancellor Phyllis Wise and President Robert Easter addressed faculty at the annual faculty meeting on Monday about several recent concerns, including the rejected appointment of Steven Salaita after he wrote controversial tweets in August. The meeting was held at the Illini Union Ballroom. Salaita supporters, mostly consisting of students, turned their backs as Wise stepped up to the podium to speak. “We have to deal with the polarization and the division on this campus between people and their opposing views,” Wise said. In her speech, Wise said she had spoken to many students on campus, including those who turned their backs in protest. The chancellor said she hopes the campus debates and lectures concerning Salaita continue to take place, because they are “healthy” and will help the University move forward. President Easter nodded in agreement. “We all agree that we have to continue to increase the excellence here,” Wise said. “I think we really need to be talking with each other more, so that we appreciate how each of us work.” Wise also discussed the campus’ strategic plan,

which was unveiled last August and consists of four main goals: fostering scholarship, providing transformational learning experiences to the students, making visible and significant societal impact and carefully stewarding existing resources and generating new resources to fuel the University’s initiatives. Wise also stated that the faculty consistently look to the students to help them leverage the intellectual capacity at the University, and that they are always looking to recruit faculty and students who are even better than ones currently at the University. “One of the things I value most is virtually every room that I go into, I am not at all, by far, the average light in the room,” Wise said. “Everyone is smarter than I am, everyone is more generous, more intelligent than I am; and I have had a wonderful time learning from all of you.” President Easter discussed the financial state and budget of the University. Easter said the University of Illinois System receives $850 million of funding from the federal government annually. “The University of Illinois is a billion-dollar research enterprise and more — that’s just the funding that comes

‘Alcohol Awareness’ on campus Damaged car shows students the dangers of drinking and driving BY RUGE LI STAFF WRITER

Urbana landlords continue to pay increased fee BY WALBERT CASTILLO STAFF WRITER

Landlords in Urbana will continue to pay an extra registration fee implemented by the Urbana City Council in 2013. The fee was unanimously voted into permanence by the council on Oct. 6 to pay for a new staff inspector to help achieve a goal to evaluate the safety and cleanliness of Urbana’s 9,600 rental housing units over the next three to five years. Libby Tyler, community development director and city planner of Urbana, said depending on the type of unit, the extra landlord registration fee increased by $4 or $5, from the average amount of roughly $50. With the increased fee, the city collected an extra $67,405 more in rental registration fees from 2013 to 2014. “Although this may sound ambitious, our number one goal is to inspect all 9,600 rental housing units at least once every three to five years,” Tyler said. Tyler said that the only concern she has with the increased registration fees

is if landlords will add the fee to tenants’ rent. Although Tyler frowns upon this, she said that it is vital to have rental housing. “It’s just part of a business cost that we incur just like registering a vehicle,” said Jason Reda, manager of Green Street Realty. “It’s something that we’ll incur. We won’t take it out on our tenants by charging

the first year that they put a junked car in this display. They want the display to show students how drunk driving can jeopardize people’s lives. She also said the junked car worked well and it brought many students to the display to learn more about what happened to the car. Michelle Taddeo, graduate assistant at McKinley Health Center, said the goal for this display was to notify students about drinking and how this affects their body and the people around them. Thakkar added that the goal is also to raise awareness of how to engage in safe habits when people consume alcohol. “We really want people to know how many people are affected by accidents related to drinking, whether it’s drinking and driving or just personal injury, or domestic

ered five-unit apartments and up, because they were safer than our smaller rental units,” Smyth said. However, he said that three years ago, the Urbana City Council decided to include all types of unit apartments to the rental registration program. Tyler said she discovered the department was understaffed to take on so many apartment units. With only two inspectors, she didn’t think all apartment units could be inspected in three to five years. She said that there simply isn’t enough manpower to check up on all smoke detectors, fire

extinguishers, plumbing and functioning windows and doors. The permanent increase in registration fees, however, will go toward hiring additional staff members such as housing inspectors, and increase the frequency of inspections being done so that the city may reach its goal. Smyth said that although it will take a couple of years to really see the impact of this permanent fee, he is confident that their goal can be met.

The event will be presented by the Special Population’s Student Health Concerns Committee and Delta Zeta Sorority. As a member of the program, Taddeo said she researched and learned new, alcohol-related statistics of what happens on campus every year, including Unofficial statistics. As a graduate student, she said she also has a better perspective on how undergraduate students think about drinking. “It really gives them a perspective of how alcohol affects your body, your interpersonal relationships, your community, your surroundings, your academics and your bank account,” Taddeo said. “We want to give you all of the information, so you could take it and make safer and smarter decisions.”

violence, physical assault — things like that, all things that can happen when you’re impaired,” Taddeo said. “We just want to spread that awareness, and hopefully students and campus members will really understand the importance of controlling your drinking so that you keep yourself and the people around you safe.” The Alcohol Awareness Program event Thursday will have a mix of interactive activities and a panel of speakers. The first hour of the event will have activities including a sobriety test and a “Myths and Facts of Alcohol” activity.

Title VI grant awarded to 6 University area studies centers BY JANE LEE STAFF WRITER

Six of the University’s international and area studies centers received Federal Title VI funding from the Department of Education. This funding supports institutions that instill teaching and learning opportunities that extend upon world regions’ cultures and languages. The University received a total of $12.54 million which lasts until 2018, with roughly $3 million allocated for the 2014-15 year. According to the Department of Education, the Title VI grant is divided between five programs that broaden access to international foreign language programs, although the University only received funding for two of these programs: the National Resource Centers and the Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships. Grants are given to national colleges and universities that encourage education based on foreign languag-

es and international studies. Every four years the grant is awarded to international study programs and centers at multiple institutions. Angelina Cotler, associate director of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, said the Department of Education looks for certain qualities in the universities that have area studies centers. “We are very strong in faculty, students, library, outreach, reaching schools and reaching teachers because we have to give teachers in high schools, middle schools and colleges, our tools and knowledge and our resources to help them to teach area studies,” Cotler said. She also said money from Title VI grants will go toward resources that help each area’s studies center excel in their programs and to aid faculty and students to become more knowledgeable about their teachings and learning. Dara Goldman, director

of the Latin American and Caribbean Studies, said the center is able to teach an Intro to Latin American Studies class that has around 200 to 250 students per semester. Goldman said the grant has helped offer online summer classes, which can add an additional 30 students to the list. “It’s a wonderful source for both teaching and programming that promotes understanding and engagement with Latin America,” Goldman said. “That’s the kind of thing that this funding really allows us to do consistently and to incorporate new technology and be able to recruit leading experts in a variety of fields so that we can really offer diverse perspectives on Latin America and the knowledge that Latin America has to offer to us and the world.” Institutions’ area studies centers submit proposals to apply and receive the Title VI grant and certain criteria need to be met each time universities apply for funding.

“Now, every four years that we have applied to this grant, the Department of Education has had different requirements and this depends on the programming of the government, what they want to strengthen,” Cotler said. “For example, this year, what is required from us, and this is a new requirement, is to work with minority colleges.” The six area studies centers focus on different regions and topics of the world, and within these centers, there are more than 100 affiliated faculty members in each area that take part in teaching and doing research on specific regions. Cotler said that these faculty members bring in students to the University’s programs, which helps the Department of Education see the strength of the interest in the regions. In recent years, due to the financial crisis, the Department of Education reduced the budget of Title VI fund-

ing by almost 50 percent, said David Cooper, director of the Russian, Eastern European, and Eurasian Center. For this year’s Title VI grant, the Department planned to cut the budget by almost 15 percent for the number of centers within the United States. Cooper said that the initial plan to reduce funding would allow the Department of Education to increase the budget for specific centers they funded because it is not possible to increase the total cost of funding to the Title VI program back before the financial plight. This, overall, would permit the centers that receive funds to have ample budgets. “Our budget has increased from what it was last year to this year by $55,000. We were down around $180,000 after the cut, and now we’re back up to $235,000 this year,” said Cooper. “That’s the substantial increase for us because we got funded, but there are a lot of centers that didn’t get funded this

year because they’re reducing the number of centers, which makes it all the more remarkable.”

Construction recycling center to add Urbana location BY ALI BRABOY STAFF REPORTER

The Champaign-Urbana area will soon have the first construction and demolition recycling facility site of its kind in the Champaign area. Henson Disposal, a construction and demolition recycling company based in Bloomington, Ill., received approval for a special-use permit from Urbana on Oct. 6 to start working on the site. The company will soon begin construction on a 40,000 square foot building at 910 W. Saline Court, Urbana, said Tom Kirk, co-owner of Henson Disposal. The company currently owns the land and plans to share the property with Southwind RAS, LLC, a Barlett-

based company that recycles asphalt shingles. The city of Urbana approved a permit for Southwind RAS to build a recycling plant along West Saline Court in December of 2013. Kirk said it will use the north part of the property, while Henson Disposal will operate in the southern area. Alderman Charlie Smyth, Ward 1, said north Lincoln Avenue in Urbana — where the facility is planned to be built — has a long history of recycling. “The permit allows them to conduct the use of the construction and demolition recycling, and it also takes a close look at their site plan. So, it both allows the use and allows for approval

of their site plan,” said Jeff Engstrom, interim planning manager for Urbana. Scott Tess, environmental sustainability manager for Urbana, said the recycling facility will benefit Champaign-Urbana community members who wish to properly dispose of construction and demolition debris. “They could have it trucked all the way to Bloomington, but probably the cheapest thing would have been to dispose of it in the land waste,” Tess said. Henson Disposal was interested in the ChampaignUrbana location because the area does not currently have a construction and demolition recycler or a local landfill, Kirk said, and waste

has to go to either Danville, Pontiac, or Clinton, Ill. to be placed in a landfill. For the time being, the company will haul back items it receives to Bloomington to be recycled, Kirk said. He added that the availability and convenience for local residents will allow Henson Disposal to be competitive in the market. The company will be able to recycle wood, plastic, vinyl siding, fiber (paper, magazines, envelopes, cardboard), concrete, brick blocks (aggregate), metals (aluminum or steel) and roofing shingles, according to Kirk. The company may have opportunities to recycle drywall in the future, he added.

Smyth believes recycling construction and demolition debris will be a cheap alternative to taking the debris to a landfill. He said the city will also benefit from the development of north Lincoln Avenue in Urbana as a recycling facility, the creation of jobs and the property taxes the business will pay. He also said Henson Disposal will be “closing the loop” by recycling debris because people will be able take items to a recycler to have them remade for later use. Henson Disposal and Southwind RAS started a relationship in Bloomington when Henson Disposal used Southwind RAS’ services to

recycle its shingles, Kirk said. The two companies thought a partnership in the Urbana area would be beneficial for both companies. Henson Disposal plans to hire two or three fulltime employees and possibly hire 20 employees within the coming years, depending on the market, Kirk said. “We’re thinking it’s going to be great,” Engstrom said. “It should make it cheaper for contractors to recycle materials instead of sending them to landfills, so it will be cheaper for our community and better for the environment.”

North Carolina issues first gay marriage licenses after ban lifted BY ELISABETH ARRIERO AND MARK PRICE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After a morning of anticipation outside the Mecklenburg County’s Register of Deeds office, the first marriage license for a gay couple was issued around 8:10 a.m., with the first samesex wedding held soon afterward. By midday, dozens of licenses had been issued, with several ceremonies conducted right away. Monday was the first day marriage licenses were issued to gay couples in Mecklenburg County, after a federal judge cleared the way late on Friday. Terrence Hall and Chris-

Additionally, Easter addressed a recent concern that there was lack of finan-

topher DeCaria were the first couple in line because they wanted to beat the crowd. “I proposed to him two years ago on Valentine’s Day and he cried,” said Hall. “I didn’t think it would happen in North Carolina for quite some time, due to Amendment One. We had planned to go to another state to get married.” DeCaria promised more tears by the end of the day. “I’ll cry again when we get our license,” DeCaria said. “To be recognized by everyone makes me feel validated and accepted.” Register of Deeds offices in Wake, Guilford and Buncombe counties stayed open late on Friday, so some

couples received marriage licenses then. As of 10:30 a.m. Monday, Granberry said his office has issued 31 marriage licenses, 25 of which were for same sex couples. His office also increased its staffing by pulling two people from other departments to help with the demand. U.S. District Judge Max Cogburn Jr. of Asheville legalized gay marriage in North Carolina on Friday, when he ruled on a lawsuit filed earlier this year by clergy who challenged the state’s 2012 constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Republican legislative leaders say they have not

decided whether to appeal Cogburn’s denial of their motion to intervene in the case. The North Carolina rulings follow the Supreme Court’s Oct. 6 announcement that it would not review lower court samesex marriage rulings in five states. Another six states with similar bans also were affected, including both Carolinas. In South Carolina, the state Supreme Court has ordered that no same-sex marriage licenses be issued while the federal lawsuit in that state plays out. The federal judge has set Wednesday as a deadline for motions on how she should move forward.

cial support for undocumented students. He said that the Illinois law allows the University to accept undocumented students and charge them in-state tuition, as long as they have graduated from a high school in Illinois. However, the University cannot provide financial aid. He said that the University will carry forward a request for direct change on the issue. Following the conclusion of their statements, the floor was opened for discussion. Erik McDuffie, associate professor of African American studies, expressed concern over the actions admin-

istrators are taking to get rid of the “new climate of fear” created by Salaita’s case. McDuffie said he believes the firing of Salaita was about Israel, politics and outside political influence. “I have said many, many times it was not an issue of politics, this was not an issue of Palestine,” Wise responded. “I would have suggested the same recommendation whether or not this was a pro-Palestinian candidate, a pro-Israel candidate, a gay candidate; it has nothing to do with the politics of it, so I don’t know how to answer you any more directly than

that.” Easter briefly talked about the academic freedom in relation to the “climate of fear” mentioned by McDuffie, and stated that it has been defined in the University statutes. “Academic freedom is critical for faculty, but it is also critical for the students,” Easter said. “I’m a child of the sixties; I grew up in that era, and I know what it’s like for the students to not be able to speak their views in the classroom.”

BEIJING — After 13 years of negotiations and planning, Universal Parks & Resorts said Monday it would open a $3.3-billion, 300-acre theme park in Beijing. The company and its Chinese partners did not set an opening date, but state-run media said the complex would debut in 2019. The long-rumored park will be among the compa-

ny’s largest and include the same kind of movie-themed attractions featured parks in Los Angeles, Orlando, Japan and Singapore. It will include attractions specifically created for China and plans also call for a Universal CityWalk retail-diningand-entertainment complex as well as a “first-ever” Universal-themed resort hotel.

Vatican official makes outspoken statement regarding gay rights VATICAN CITY — A Vatican official on Monday made an unusually outspoken overture towards gay rights, as he backed the recognition of same-sex partnerships, on condition that they are clearly distinguished from heterosexual marriages. “The Church is against the use of the same terminolo-

gy” for homosexual and heterosexual unions, Monsignor Bruno Forte said in a news briefing. “Having said this, it seems clear to me that human beings involved in various experiences have rights that must be protected,” Forte added, referring to samesex couples.

Protests in Ferguson continue with arrest of clergy members Monday FERGUSON, Mo. — After a long standoff in heavy rain, about 10 clergy members who had offered themselves for arrest were taken into custody about noon Monday at the city police station. Among those arrested was Cornel West, the nationally known activist and commentator who has been in St. Louis for the weekend of protests. Earlier, about a dozen cler-

gy had walked up to the line of officers outside the station and, according to a spokesman with a bullhorn, offered to hear the officers confess their sins. Then clergy moved toward the side door of the station, which was guarded by officers in riot gear. The arrests occurred there. About 600 protesters had gathered at the station to support the action.

Should Chancellor Wise be considered for next University president?

T

he Presidential Search Committee will meet Tuesday to further discuss who will be the next president of the University of Illinois. During a recent interview with The Daily Illini Editorial Board, Chancellor Phyllis Wise was asked what type of person she would like to see as the next University president. Her answer: “I would love to see someone who is academically really well-respected and really has an excellent record as an academic leader. Also, someone who is really ready to go out and do the external work, which is so important at the moment ... but [someone] really ready to promote the University of Illinois to a wider audience. By that, I mean corporate leaders, legislators, the governor, federal legislators, to really promote the value of the University of Illinois. One of the things I learned when I first got here when I did my listening and learning tour was that people said two things. One was that they were here because of the people, and they mean everything to the value of the University of Illinois, and the second thing was that we did a lousy job of communicating and promoting ourselves in a bold but not boast-

ful way. So I took it upon myself to spend a significant amount of time outside the campus, but the president should do it in spades.� The Chancellor, more or less, described herself. She is someone who is academically well-respected. She is an academic leader, serving as provost at the University of Washington before becoming chancellor. Wise has completed the “external work,� developing a relationship with Carle to help form a new College of Medicine and becoming a member of First Busey Corporation’s board. Prior to Robert Easter, the University struggled to find a president who could stay out of trouble. Big goals evaporated amid scandal. So far, Chancellor Wise has embarked on a Listening and Learning Tour, organized a Visioning Future Excellence survey and developed a Strategic Plan for the campus based on the results. If she became the next president, there would be a level of consistency not seen with the past few University presidents. Big goals would have a chance to become a reality. However, Wise’s tenure has not been without controversy. Q In March 2011, President Michael Hogan, whom Wise had a

strained relationship with, resigned. Q In September 2012, Wise hired Provost Ilesanmi Adesida, who has not been popular among most faculty on campus. Q In January, Chancellor Wise recommended an extension and raise for athletic director Mike Thomas, whom many fans think should be fired after the hire of Tim Beckman. Q Also in January, Wise was the subject of racist and sexist tweets after deciding not to cancel classes because of harsh weather conditions. Q In April, former Symbionese Liberation Army member James Kilgore lost his job weeks after he was praised for doing a good job by a campus spokeswoman, raising questions about faculty rights. Q In September, those questions were brought up again when the Board of Trustees did not approve the tenured faculty position of Steven Salaita because of controversial tweets, causing 14 departments to vote “no confidence� in Wise and thousands of scholars to boycott the University. The decision also raised questions about donor influence over Wise. However, almost 500 faculty members responded by announcing their support for Wise. Q Last week, Wise was accused of

self-plagiarism, misusing images and removing co-authors in a 2006 research paper she published, after Retraction Watch discovered it failed to cite her previously published work. Another aspect to consider is could the University attract a top candidate? With a strained relationship with the State, an increasing reliance on tuition, and a history of scandal, is the University really a destination for top administrative talent? Or is it best to find a candidate from within, who has already committed to the University? The Daily Illini is not endorsing or denouncing Chancellor Wise as a candidate for President of the University of Illinois. However, we would like to bring together a discussion on campus about whether Wise should be considered. So, with this, we ask the campus community: Should Chancellor Wise be considered as a finalist for the next University president? With the intention of fostering discussion and debate, we will run select responses to this editorial in an issue of one of next week’s papers. To submit your response, email opinions@dailyillini.com.

Disparities in cancer marketing problematic CARLY CHARLES Opinions columnist

O

ctober may be the official month of Breast Cancer Awareness; however, the enormous amount of publicity breast cancer gains through heavy, year-round advertising makes it seem as though this disease is the biggest and sole burden of our society. And though I believe it’s great to spread awareness about a disease that can affect your mother, your aunt, your sister, your wife and many men, I think the commercialization of breast cancer does very little to spread cancer facts to consumers; in the midst of this ignorant breast cancer mania, we lose sight and awareness of other diseases that also impact and kill Americans on a much greater scale than breast cancer. Specifically, I believe that

Americans choose to donate blindly to a cause they know little about, for the sole reason that the disease is so extensively marketed. In the fiscal year 2013, the National Cancer Institute’s total budget was approximately $4.8 billion. Of that, $559 million was put towards breast cancer research. Only $238 million was put towards colon cancer. According to the NCI, a person’s chances of surviving five years with colon/rectum cancer is 64.7 percent. Comparatively, a person’s chances of surviving breast cancer for five years is a whopping 89.2 percent. Additionally, the chances of surviving five years with ovarian cancer is approximately 44.6 percent — roughly half of breast cancer. And yet, ovarian cancer only received $100 million in the 2013 fiscal year. In presenting these statistics, I don’t mean to take away from the impact breast cancer has on so many people. Rather, I want to suggest that the degree

to which we are informed about other equally or more deadly cancers is unbalanced, and other diseases should receive a similar level of awareness and funding. Based on these statistics, colon and ovarian cancers would appear to be very prevalent and problematic; yet, if there are colored ribbons for colon cancer or ovarian cancer, I wouldn’t know. It is not so highly advertised. Consider the following “pink ribbon� items you can purchase from Pink Ribbon Shop’s website: Pink shirts, a tiny glass locket, sunglasses, pillows — square and rectangular — paper plates, table cloths, napkins, tote bags, “inspirational word clings� — the list goes on. And on, and on. Now let’s extend this to general products. If you step foot inside your local Wal-Mart this month, you’ll find pink cosmetics, pink cartons of yogurt, pink razors, pink handbags, pink bottles of perfumes, pink dog

sweaters for your feisty chihuahua, and more. Many of these pink products are stamped with some type that reads, roughly, “for every product we sell, we’ll donate X amount of money to breast cancer research.� That’s all. By buying your pink vinyl purse, you’ll have the novelty of feeling great that you’ve given to a cause, and you’ll also be the proud new owner of a flirty handbag. The marketing of so many different products only furthers the Pink Ribbon campaign’s commercial success, and, in so doing, misinforms consumers that breast cancer is the deadliest, most pressing form of cancer. Why do other forms of cancer not receive this amount of attention? The Pink Ribbon movement works because it is catchy and marketable. When we buy pink products, we may see ourselves as trendy, charitable and socially aware consumers. We think we’re supporting a really

important and warranted cause because the overload of pink products implies that its cause — breast cancer awareness and research — is one worth millions of dollars. And we are supporting an important cause; it’s not that breast cancer isn’t a problem, it’s just comparatively not as devastating as other forms of cancer, and the Pink Ribbon movement should be accompanied by equally present types of cancer and disease awareness. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the top five leading causes of death in America are heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, stroke and accidents. The excess of pink ribbons we see in October makes it easy to forget the diseases that weren’t so fortunate as to land a catchy marketing scheme.

POETRY “The beauty of spoken word and the tragedy of it is that it’s an oral culture,” Tsai said. “So a lot of the times, it’s not written down. So people who are important to me don’t get the recognition they deserve for being the brilliant people they were and are.” The workshop will be at the Asian American Cultur-

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD al Center from noon to 1 p.m. as part of the center’s weekly lunch lecture series. The other workshop, “Everything I Learned About Love I Learned From Reality TV,” will be at Allen Hall/ Unit One at 7 p.m. The aim of this workshop is to draw out lessons from reality TV on what not to do in love and relationships and how to make relationships more fulfilling through writing and art, according to the event’s website.

The common thread that ties all of these events together is poetry, which she said she has been using to engage others in conversation since high school. “I use my poetry as a workshop to explore things I am curious about,” Tsai said. “I’m not coming in with a lot of answers; I’m coming in with a lot of questions.”

Koto Ramen: Much more than your average Cup o’ Noodles BY JASMINE DINH CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Campustown recently introduced one of its newest restaurants — Koto Ramen — this September. Located at 508 E. Green St. in Champaign, Koto Ramen serves Japanese-style ramen with a variety of twists. The restaurant is open all week from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., except Fridays and Saturdays when it’s open until 10:30 p.m. Owner Amy Chook comes from a family who’s been in the restaurant business for about 30 years. The family owns restaurants in areas from St. Louis and Peoria to Canada, varying in styles which include Hibachi grills and buffetstyle restaurants. Though the interior is small, it’s professionally decorated by St. Louis designers. “We like this spot. It’s really close by and for our recipe — in other countries, they do it in campus towns — and it’s very popular,” she said. Playful shadows are cast

across the textured walls, wooden tables and booths. One of the most inviting aspects are the glass windows, which open the kitchen up for display. The open windows provide customers a clear view of their food as it’s being prepared. Chook said they got the idea of the windows from her family’s other restaurants, more specifically, the Hibachi grill’s style. Koto Ramen is the family’s newest restaurant in Illinois, as well as one of the smallest. “It’s small, but it’s easier to manage and it’s more inviting so we get closer to the customers,” Chook said. The restaurant’s recipes are all homemade and have come from the family, which is based in southeast Asia, according to Chook. “Every area has different tastes,” she said. “We get comments from everybody on if it is good or bad, and we adjust to students according to their tastes.” The restaurant puts out a comment box to hear cus-

tomer feedback, allowing customers to fi ll out forms with their thoughts about the ramen. “I guess everyone has their own preference — myself included,” said Calvin Law, senior in LAS and restaurant cook. “They say negative things or positive things and it’s okay.” Apart from matching the offerings to their customers’ preferences, Koto Ramen also puts high priority on customer specifications. “You can always ask for what you want. We have different spice levels, because some like it spicy and some don’t like any spice at all,” Chook said. The restaurant’s busiest hours are from noon to 2 p.m. and then 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., but the restaurant still runs smoothly. “We make sure our customers don’t wait too long,” she said. “It’s like fast food service, but in a more comfortable setting.”

From migrants of the Guatemalan Civil War to refugees of Sudan, the fi rst part of the inaugural Chai Wai Series will kick off Tuesday with a discussion of various global topics all while keeping the Champaign-Urbana community in mind. The fi rst part of a fourpart series, which takes place at the International and Areas Studies Library in the Main Library, aims to give campus an opportunity to have “enlightened conversation on important global issues,” according to the event’s Facebook page. The event will run from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. One of the series’ goals is to take global issues currently crippling the world and present them in an “outreach fashion,” said Katrina Spencer, assistant coordinator of the series and master’s student in Library and Information Sciences. “We are trying to take global issues from around the world and present them in an outreach fashion where we attract not only undergraduates but also academic professionals and community members who have invested interest in a particular issue and open up an accessible conversation,” Spencer said. The fi rst installment of the series will focus on issues related to migrants, immigrants and refugees. Spencer said she hopes the series sets the scene to educate people about the differences between the three words. “There’s a lot of different differences between these words and we don’t always take the opportunity to flush them out,” she said. “When we talk about these topics in popular forum, we don’t get down to the nitty-gritty and that stuff in the issues. There is no one policy that

is going to fit every migrant, every immigrant and every refugee so it’s important to be able to identify the different faces of human mobility.” Mara Thacker, head coordinator of the event and South Asian studies librarian, said she hopes the discussions are dynamic and full of interaction with the audience. “This is a chance not just to ask questions and listen to experts and scholars and activists and different kinds of people who are stakeholders in an issue, but this is also a chance for people to share their own stories and their viewpoints and opinions,” Thacker said. While the issues that will be presented at the Chai Wai series will be global topics, there will be panelists who are specialists on the topic, specifically in Central America and Africa. There will also be Champaign-Urbana activists who plan to relate the global topics back to the community. “It’s important to bring the local perspective into play because it makes things meaningful to people. I think it gives them a context and allows them to sort of engage in their local community,” Thacker said. Gai Nyok is one of the more than 20,000 lost boys of Sudan as well as a graduate student in LAS. Nyok will be one of the panelists at the Chai Wai series’ fi rst discussions and will recount his experience as one of the generation of boys who were stripped of a childhood by the Second Sudanese Civil War. Nyok was born in South Sudan and passed through Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya, where he was one of 100,000 east African political refugees at a United Nations refugee camp, before settling in the U.S. in 2001.

“I was young indeed, but I was one of the lucky few because I had my brother and other relatives that looked after me,” Nyok wrote in an email. “Most of the other 20,000 or so boys had escaped their homes without anyone to look after them.” After moving to the U.S., Nyok wrote he has seen his luck change drastically in a journey that has included settling in with a family in Ashland, New York , graduating magna cum laude from Virginia Commonwealth University and being awarded a Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship Award to attend the University of Illinois en route to becoming a United States diplomat. “I think my perspective of the world has been shaped in many ways by my experience as a former refugee,” he wrote in an email. “It’s a journey which has opened my mind tremendously. It has made me aware of the potential and the role that we can play as individuals to better shape our communities but also the world as a whole.” Thacker said she hopes to relay such enlightenment to the series’ audience and hopes they partake in stimulating discussions as the events take place. “Quite frankly, I hope everybody just has a good time and I know that for myself, when my friends and I, or when a group of colleagues and I, are talking about some sort of big issue like this, it can be really invigorating mentally and so I’m hoping people will have that experience and feel sort of fi red to go talk about and change the world kind of thing,” Thacker said. “It’s sort of lofty, but best case scenario, that will happen.”

UNIVERSITY ALUMNA KELLY ZEN-YIE TSAI FOSTERS FEMINISM, COMBATS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WITH POETRY

K

elly Zen-Yie Tsai, University alumna and awardwinning spoken word poet, returned to campus on Monday to challenge community views on domestic violence and feminism. Tsai was chosen as the University’s keynote speaker for October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month because of her ability to “fuse together art and activism,� according to Rachel Storm, assistant director at the Women’s Resources Center. “Art is a language that everyone can speak and everyone can hear,� she said. “We want students to come to these events and be able to cultivate a deeper understanding of what people are facing when they are experiencing domestic violence.� Tsai began her series of events with a workshop on Monday afternoon, as part of the Women’s Resource Center weekly lunch lecture series. The workshop, “HalfFull & Half-Empty: Spoken Word, Feminism, and the Fight to End Gender Violence,� aimed to delve into the community’s definition of feminism and the understanding of how language can both begin and end violence. Students and community members at the event defi ned feminism as “lovely� and “accepting� but can often be perceived as “militant�; a movement often misunderstood as “one gen-

der establishing superiority over the other�; but more importantly, a movement in “creating equality� among both genders. The room was full of people nodding and snapping in agreement, resembling a small, intimate poetry slam. To conclude the workshop, Tsai invited the group to engage in a five-minute free write to unleash “poetry, prose, random thoughts, colors and ideas� related to domestic violence and feminism. “What I love about poetry is that you’re finding your logic around how you like to put words together,� she said. “As long as you’re following the thread of your own logic, it can really become something powerful.� As participants went around the circle sharing their thoughts, there was a mix of emotions — ranging from loneliness and sadness to gratitude and inspiration. Tsai encouraged the group to view life with the lens of “balance of opposing forces� and to leave “Half Full & Half Empty� seeing that domestic violence and injustices against feminism can be redeemed. Tsai and her workshop helped Blake Banks, freshman in Engineering, to think more critically about the issue, Banks said. “It was always in the back of my mind, and she brought it forth,� she said. For Alex Papak, senior in Engineering and one of few male attendants, his pasion for women and gender issues was refueled, he

Pumpkin spice invasion takes over food industry

Popular flavor now available in variety of items BY MADDIE GALASSI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Pumpkin isn’t merely a type of pie consumed on Thanksgiving anymore. In recent years, pumpkin flavors have exploded in the food industry, starting a new food craze. From Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte to Dunkin’ Donuts pumpkin fl avored food, coffee shops and other brands are getting in on the pumpkin fl avor craze that continues to sweep across the fall season. “Everybody loves it. It’s insane. People love pumpkin spice,� said Megan Anstrom, shift supervisor at the Starbucks on Green Street. “I’ve worked at a couple of different stores in Chicago and towards the end of August everybody starts asking for it. I think corporate caught onto that, and this year they had the unlocking of pumpkin spice and made a game out of it. I think they just know that people love it and want it.� Anstrom, who has been

working for Starbucks for 10 years, said it wasn’t until recent years that the pumpkin spice latte became as popular as it is now, although the drink debuted in 2003. “You should see the amount of pumpkin spice we have back there,� she said, pointing to the stockroom. “People are getting on this train and realizing that it signifies fall, so they’re going to go for it and buy it.� In addition to a Pumpkin Spice Latte, Starbucks customers can also treat themselves with pumpkin flavored goods such as sugar cookies, scones, cheesecake croissants or cheesecake muffi ns from the bakery. Latte Da! , Espresso Royale and Caribou Coffee are also serving their fair share of pumpkin-flavored indulgences. Latte Da! and Caribou Coffee both carry pumpkin spice lattes, while Espresso Royale has pumpkin pie lattes. Additionally, Dunkin’

Donuts hasn’t missed out on the trend either. At the company’s locations, various pumpkinrelated items are on the menu during the fall season including pumpkin pie coolattas, pumpkin lattes, crème brulee lattes and mocha lattes. The menu also includes various pumpkin-fl avored bakery goods like muffi ns, doughnuts and munchkins. For Angelica Czarnecka, freshman in Engineering, she said she is known for her obsession with pumpkin spice lattes. “I love pumpkin spice!â€? she exclaimed. “I’ve been obsessed with it since my sophomore year of high school. Pumpkin spice reminds me of fall, and I think I love it more because it’s limited edition because I know it won’t be around for long, so I feel like I need to get it every day.â€?

Even though pumpkinflavored goods may be best associated with coffee shops, pumpkin-flavored items aren’t confi ned to them. Food with the flavor can now be found at grocery stores including County Market, which sells pumpkin spice cream liqueur along with pumpkin pie and bars from the baked goods,

SPORTS No culture shock for golfer Detry BY LAUREN MROZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER

FOLAKE OSIBODU | DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Reilly O’Toole attempts to pass the ball during the game against Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wis. on Saturday. O’Toole, along with sophomore Aaron Bailey will be competing for the starting spot going into Illinois’ bye week.

Thomas Detry had only been to the United States three times before deciding to make Champaign, Illinois, his college home. Originally from Belgium, Detry grew up in Ukkel, a wealthy suburb of Brussels, where he was introduced to golf at a young age and started competing for the Belgian national team in his early teens. In 2012, Detry left his family, his friends and his first language behind in Belgium to join head coach Mike Small and the Illinois men’s golf team. The only time Detry had previously spent in the U.S. was in Florida and Texas for golf tournaments and a one-time trip to Champaign for an official visit. When Detry arrived in

Champaign for his freshman year, he did not experience much of a culture shock. Of course, the food was different. He had to learn how to speak a new language. But Detry said, considering the changes he faced, that his transition was easier than expected — especially with one of his best friends and fellow Belgians, Thomas Pieters, by his side for Detry’s freshman year. After winning the second individual national title in school history in 2012, Pieters played one more season with the Illini before beginning his professional golf career. Pieters is from Nijlen, Belgium, which is about an hour away from Detry’s hometown. The two shared a solid relationship

No starter named at QB BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

Aaron Bailey might be seeing a lot more game time. When asked if the sophomore quarterback was ready to start a game this season, Illinois head coach Tim Beckman provided one word: “Sure.� Not exactly a confidence booster, but not denial either. Bailey came in to play during the fourth quarter of Illinois’ 38-28 loss to Wisconsin on Saturday, rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown. But Bailey wasn’t as lucky through the air, tossing up an interception in the endzone late in the fourth quarter. “A lot of our run stats will come from Aaron Bailey running,� Beckman said. “This is Big Ten football. We have to be able to run.� The Illini coaching staff said there’s the option for the team to run a two-quarterback system in the next few games, using both Bailey and

senior Reilly O’Toole. O’Toole started the Wisconsin game and threw for two touchdowns on 125 individual yards of total offense. “I know it’s the quarterback position, but we’re always going to compete at every position that we have,� Beckman said. Despite the concern over Bailey’s passing game, the sophomore said he’s confident. “I feel very comfortable passing,� Bailey said. “That’s going to make it difficult for the defense.� Offensive coordinator Bill Cubit expressed the same confidence in Bailey’s arm before Saturday’s game and said he could surprise Big Ten defenses. Cubit said he was proud of the way the Illini quarterbacks played in the loss, combining for 239 of Illinois’ 288 offensive yards.

Bye week coming at a good time The Illini were looking to take positives from Bailey’s fourth quarter performance but didn’t forget about the final score. “A loss is a loss,� Cubit said. “And I hate losing. In the locker room, the kids are upset and we’re upset.� Illinois has now lost three straight games and 24 of its last 25 conference games. The Illini defense allowed Wisconsin 401 yards on the ground Saturday, while running backs Melvin Gordon (175 rushing yards) and Corey Clement (164 rushing yards) each had stellar days on the ground. Defensive coordinator Tim Banks said the bye week will be positive for the Illini players, who can focus on studying or go home to see their families rather than heading back into another week of game preparation.

“It’s probably coming at a good time,� Banks said. Illinois has lost four of its last five and the defense has struggled, still ranking last in the Big Ten in rushing defense, allowing an average of 271.1 yards per game. Illinois also ranks last in the Big Ten in total defense, allowing 484.6 yards per game. The Illini coaching staff will continue recruiting this weekend, according to Banks — who isn’t worried about having a hard time selling the struggling team. “You go out and try to find a few good men to help this program,� Banks said. “Illinois is still a great university and has great academics. There’s a lot of young men who want to be a part of that.�

POINT-COUNTERPOINT WAS BECKMAN RIGHT TO BURN BAILEY’S REDSHIRT?

With Lunt out, the time to play Bailey is now STEPHEN BOURBON Senior writer

T

here’s not much to cheer for when losing by 24 points in the fourth quarter. But there’s no doubt many Illini fans were thrilled when quarterback Aaron Bailey came into the game at Wisconsin over the weekend. Since the injury to starter Wes Lunt, Illini fans have been clamoring to see the seldom-used four-star prospect from Bolingbrook. Putting Bailey in the game came at a cost — the opportunity to redshirt this season. Bailey sat out the first six games to save eligibility, but with Lunt out for the next month or so, Bailey needs to be playing in order to develop. Illinois will need Bailey moving forward and the experience he will gain by starting will make him better in the future. When thrust into garbage time against Wisconsin on Saturday, Bailey showed off his running ability and his strong arm. He finished with 75 rushing yards, only three yards less than the rest of the team combined. Yes, it was against Wisconsin’s backups, but Bailey immediately made plays running the ball. He made correct decisions in the readoption, giving the Illini a much-needed threat in the running game. The next step was adding the “pop� pass off of the read option, where Bailey keeps the ball and immediately hits a receiver in the seam. Bailey executed this to perfection to Matt LaCosse for 15 yards on one of his completions. His flaws are just as apparent as his strengths: Bailey needs to be able to read

defenses and go through a progression. He was 2-for-5 passing for 39 yards and one interception. His last few passes looked like a game of Madden: throw it as far as you can and hope for the best. Bailey was eventually picked off on the Illini’s last offensive play. Playing Reilly O’Toole does nothing to help the Illini program, nor its beleaguered coaching staff. While O’Toole battled hard against Wisconsin and Nebraska in his two starts this year, Illinois knows what its getting from him. O’Toole can’t carry this team back to its dreams of bowl contention until Lunt returns, so the Illini need to develop one of their most intriguing prospects. Augment the playbook to play to Bailey’s strengths — running the read-option and making plays with his feet — but slowly bring him along with passing concepts. Bailey gives this coaching staff an opportunity to promote the future. The hot seat is blistering after Illinois’ recent performances and if Bailey can spark the team, it can give fans a little more patience to trust in the Beckman program. While he might never start over Lunt, Bailey still needs to be ready for more than a gimmick package that the Illini used Bailey for last season. Lunt has a history of injuries, and it’s likely Bailey will be called upon over the next two seasons. Bailey’s time to redshirt was last year with four-year starter Nathan Scheelhaase under center. He’s had enough time to learn from the sidelines. Now it’s time to learn on the field.

BRETT LERNER Staff writer

A

aron Bailey was electric as quarterback for Illinois when he was brought in at Wisconsin. His 29-yard touchdown run prompted fans to explode on Twitter, asking where Bailey had been all game. The original plan was for Bailey to be redshirted and sit out this season. This plan was obviously altered when head coach Tim Beckman brought in the sophomore. Again, was Bailey electric? Absolutely. But was it worth it for Illinois to take away the redshirt option on Bailey? Absolutely not. The problem with burning Bailey’s redshirt doesn’t lie in his potential to win games for the Illini, but rather in what is surrounding him. Bailey’s passing game is far from developed, as seen by his interception late in the fourth quarter. That means his effectiveness would rely heavily on designed run plays. It has been seen time and time again that this Illinois offensive line can’t be effective in the Big Ten. Running backs Josh Ferguson and Donovonn Young haven’t played near their full effectiveness in most games because of the woes of the offensive line. Bailey also wouldn’t be getting any help from his defense. The defensive unit ranks dead last in the conference in scoring defense, rushing defense and total defense. Neither Reilly O’Toole or Bailey have the ability to put up enough points to be competitive in the Big Ten with the current state of their defense.

Another issue with putting Bailey on the field at this point is his inability to do the thing he would need to do most. Bailey simply isn’t where he needs to be as a passer yet to be a regular starter in the Big Ten. There’s no debate that he’s one of the most talented players on the Illinois roster and one of the biggest recruits Beckman’s regime has been able to pull in. However, he’s far from developed from a pure passing perspective. Some of Illinois’ most consistent weapons have been wide receivers Mike Dudek and Geronimo Allison. Bailey wouldn’t be able to get playmakers like Dudek and Allison involved enough, simply because he isn’t far enough along as a passer. Beckman making the move to put Bailey under center in the fourth quarter against Wisconsin makes some sense. Bailey’s potential probably does give the Illini a better chance to win now than with what O’Toole has proved he can provide, just because of his athleticism and potential. The problem is, if Wes Lunt isn’t manning the Illinois huddle, the Illini don’t have much of a chance to win regardless. The offensive line and the defense aren’t on par with their competition, which is at no fault to either of the options at quarterback. With that being said, Bailey’s redshirt should have been preserved. He needs the extra year to develop as quarterback and Illinois isn’t in a good position to win any of its Big Ten games no matter who’s playing quarterback.

Illini volleyball wins big at Penn State

Since the last time they made the playoffs in 2009, the Dallas Cowboys have won exactly as many games as they’ve lost. America’s team has gone 35-35 since getting throttled by Brett Favre and the Vikings in the 2009 Divisional Round. Sunday night, Dallas pulled off a 30-23 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, the defending Super Bowl champions. The win put the Cowboys at 5-1 and placed them firmly in the playoff conversation. Finally, the Cowboys are for real. Finally, the Cowboys are back. DeMarco Murray is the best running back in the NFL. Dez Bryant is one of the best receivers in the NFL. Tony Romo hasn’t

BY NICHOLAS EDWARD DAVID FORTIN STAFF WRITER

The Illinois volleyball team is deep, perhaps one of the deepest teams during Kevin Hambly’s tenure as head coach, and that fact was proven on Saturday. While senior opposite side hitter Liz McMahon and junior outside hitter Jocelynn Birks led the way offensively for the Illini, with 17 and 19 kills respectively, other key contributors struggled early on against Penn State. “They did very well,” Hambly said. “Birks played great. McMahon struggled just a little bit to get some rhythm on the right side. We rely on her of course, she scores a lot of points and she did a nice job.” Senior outside hitter Morganne Criswell was one of those key contributors who didn’t get into a rhythm in the match. Criswell struggled to get going offensively, playing in only one set and recording no kills on two attempts against the Nittany Lions. Criswell’s slow start didn’t hinder the Illini for long as the team’s depth allowed Hambly to make the switch to fellow outside hitter Katie Roustio for the rest of the match. Roustio fi nished with a career-high 11 kills and proved that Illinois’ depth can be used at any moment. Along with Roustio, junior defensive specialist Julia Conard also saw more time on the court against the Nittany Lions and made the most of it. Conard finished the match with a career-high and team-leading 18 digs. While Hambly was impressed with the individual performances his team displayed, he said that the Illini’s performance as a team was more meaningful. “Roustio did a great job,” Hambly said. “Julia Conard came in and did a nice job. “It was a team effort when you go win. Volleyball’s about the team, it’s not about individuals.”

Mindset, system change contribute to Illini volleyball win

Following Wednesday night’s midweek loss to Ohio State, Hambly made a change. Instead of sticking with the 6-2 rotation system the Illinois volleyball team adopted for this year, Hambly decided the Illini would switch back to a 5-1, the system the Illini ran last year. Junior setter Alexis Vili-

unas, who had rotated around in the old system, was in the front line of the 5-1 on Saturday night and attacked more than she has been able to so far this season because of the change in system. On top of her eight digs, Viliunas also fi nished the match with season-highs in kills, with three, and assists, with 47. Despite a slow start, during which the Illini trailed 19-8 in the fi rst set, the change worked. Illinois beat Penn State at home in four sets, breaking a 19-match home winning streak for the Nittany Lions in the process. The system wasn’t the only thing that changed for Illinois over the weekend. After the team’s match against Minnesota earlier this season, Hambly said the Illini had grown up. On Saturday against Penn State Hambly said Illinois grew some more. When asked where the team grew the most in the match he said the team’s growth wasn’t physical, technical or skill-based. Instead, Hambly said it was the Illini’s mindset that changed. “It was more of ‘we’ve got to continue to attack, no matter what,’” Hambly said.

Illini road win more than impressive Penn State is almost unbeatable at home. Which is why the Illini’s four set win on the road, the program’s first against the Nittany Lions on the road in less than five sets, is notable for Illinois. Before Saturday night’s loss to the No. 15 Illini (12-5, 4-2 Big Ten), the then-No. 5 Nittany Lions (16-3, 4-2) were on a 19-home match winning streak with their last loss coming on September 27th of 2013 to Michigan State. Illinois has been the best of the Big Ten teams on the road against Penn State as of late, as the Illini have accounted for two of the three losses in the Nittany Lion’s last 97 home matches. Given how infrequently Penn State loses at home, the win was a big deal for Illinois, but to Hambly it was just another win. “It’s a big deal just because it’s hard (to win there) but it’s not overblown,” Hambly said. “It’s just a good win.”

screwed up too badly yet. And the Cowboys’ defense, the worst in the NFL last season, has held up rather nicely after losing its two best players in the offseason. Defensive end DeMarcus Ware is playing in Denver and middle linebacker Sean Lee is on injured reserve, and yet, the “D” in the “Big D” has given up 30-plus points only once this season after doing so three times through Week Six in 2013. So what’s different? Romo has only done Romo things once this season, in the Cowboys’ opener against San Francisco. That was the last time Dallas lost. They’ve won five straight since then, and Romo has kept his cool throughout, including throwing for 250 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions against the Legion of Boom, Seattle’s vaunted secondary. Murray has been the MVP of the NFL so far

this season. He is on pace to rush for 2,093 yards in 16 games, which would put him just shy of Adrian Peterson’s 2012 total as the second-most rushing yards in a single-season. It also puts him within spitting distance of Eric Dickerson’s 2,105 yards, which is the single-season record. Murray is also on pace to eclipse Larry Johnson’s record of 416 rushes in a season. Can he keep it up? The third member of the Cowboys’ offensive trinity is Dez Bryant. Bryant has not-so-quietly made it clear that he thinks he is equal to Calvin Johnson, the NFL’s receiver-in-chief, and although he hasn’t put up numbers to top the NFL, no one is a scarier target on the outside than Bryant. Now, the Cowboys have finished 8-8 for three seasons in a row, so when I say they’re back, I mean that they are playoff-bound, not necessarily that they are heading to the Super Bowl.

DETRY on the course, having competed for the Belgian national team, but it is their even stronger bond off the course that played a major role in Detry’s decision to play at Illinois. Detry had also considered Florida State, Northwestern and TCU before committing to Illinois. His decision came down to Illinois and Florida State; however, he said there was not much of a decision to be made. Illinois’ reputable business school, combined with Small’s continuous success, played heavy roles in Detry’s decision. But what ultimately removed any hesitation Detry might have had was his comfort in knowing he would have Pieters by his side for his first year. “He is kind of like a big brother to me.” Detry said. “He took care of me my first couple of weeks freshman

year and helped me get used to everything. He helped me fit in here.” One of the first golf-related changes Detry faced when he arrived at Illinois was that he was no longer competing as the individual he had gotten used to representing before college. He would now be practicing with, and playing for, a team. In addition to competing in junior national tournaments, Detry competed for Belgium in the 2013 World Amateur Team Championships and helped Team Europe win the 2014 Palmer Cup; however, Detry did not feel the same sense of playing for a team that he does at Illinois. “When I was playing for the Belgium team, it was more representing Belgium but playing for myself,” Detry said, now a junior. “(At Illinois), I’m representing a team and playing for a team, and that’s really important.”

Having teammates has allowed Detry to feed off of other players competing for the same goal: winning an NCAA Championship. Detry said he likes the change in the fact that he and his teammates want each other to improve and to reach their highest potentials. He still strives to beat out his teammates, but it is more of an incentive to get better as opposed to a task to win a tournament. Having adjusted to his new life in Champaign, Detry would finish his freshman season posting a 72.88 stroke average, which was second on the team behind Pieters. He was also named the 2013 Big Ten Freshman of the Year. As an upperclassman now, Detry is taking a more prominent leadership position and is trying to give the team’s four new freshmen the assistance that Pieters gave him. He has consistently been one of the topthree golfers for the men’s

They are 5-1 in a division that isn’t the easiest in the NFL, but certainly isn’t the toughest either. The Cowboys should get, at a minimum, a wild card spot in the NFC East. The Cowboys’ upcoming schedule isn’t too bad either, other than a tough game against the NFC West-leading Cardinals, Dallas plays the Giants twice along with Jacksonville and Washington once. Those are four very winnable games, and Dallas could be 9-2 and 3-0 in the NFC East when it hosts Philadelphia, who is tied with the Cowboys atop the division at 5-1. The saga of the Cowboys should encourage Bears fans, who worry their team is stuck in a cycle of average play. After all, the Bears have gone 8-8 in two of the last three seasons. The Bears need a better defense (like Dallas did) and a little bit more consistency from a talented offense (like Dallas did) and Chicago could be one of the top teams in the NFC. So don’t laugh at the Cowboys anymore. They shouldn’t be the butt of anyone’s jokes. They drafted offensive lineman Zack Martin instead of Johnny Manziel and it turned out to be a perfect selection, because Martin has started all six games and is a big reason why Murray has been able to put up big numbers. This weekend, the Cowboys are looking to finally be a winning team for the first time in five years. Finally, America’s team is back.

Hawks set for another Stanley Cup run one of the favorites to bring home Lord Stanley’s Cup this year. Jonathan Toews, widely regarded as the class of the NHL, has become a popular early pick for league MVP by numerous NHL writers. Then there’s Patrick Kane, who is arguably the most dazzling, electrifying player in all of hockey. The 25-year-old who was once an immature kid with lots of potential, is now an established veteran who has provided Chicago with countless clutch performances and memorable playoff moments. Toews and Kane figure to lead the way for Chicago. However, the road to the Cup will not be easy. In fact, it will be as hard as it has ever been. The Hawks belong to the best division in the NHL, the Central division in the Western Conference, and it got even better this offseason. The Stars, Blues and Avalanche all added elite talent, namely at the center position, which is sure to make the battle for the division crown a dogfight. Between the Hawks, Wild, Stars, Blues and Avalanche, there are five teams that have a legitimate chance to bring home the Central Division, something that no other division in hockey can boast. Also, the playoff system setup won’t make it any easier for Chicago. With the way it is set up, the Hawks are guaranteed to play a divisional opponent

or most people, the holiday season doesn’t start until Thanksgiving. However, Chicagoans are not most people, and for them, the holiday season started Thursday. No, the Cubs did not win the pennant and no, the Bears did not defeat the Packers, but Chicago’s one true champion took the ice Thursday night for the first time this season. The Blackhawks, the one team the city has been able to count on in recent years, started their quest for the Stanley Cup. With a football team that constantly underachieves, a basketball team that is unable to stay healthy enough to advance deep into the playoffs, and two baseball teams that might as well be non-existent, the Blackhawks are the only bright spot in the world of sports for the city. Luckily, the Blackhawks should be able to provide that. After losing to the Kings — the eventual Stanley Cup champions — in the Western Conference Finals last year, the Hawks are

in the first two rounds, which will bring an added dimension of intensity and physicality to what will already be a hard-fought playoffs. Though the journey will not be easy, if they are able to get out of their division, the Blackhawks should be right in the thick of things. With their mainstay of stars on both offense and defense, as well as the addition of Brad Richards, a crafty veteran who can play center for the teams’ second line, the Hawks are sure to compete for a title this year. If they are able to bring home the Cup this season, the Hawks will effectively establish themselves as one of most successful dynasties we have seen in sports this past decade. Three championships in six years would be quite a feat in this day and age. A city that has earned the name “Chiberia� because of its extremely cold weather conditions during the wintertime, Chicagoans will need to brace themselves as forecasters and experts are already predicting this winter to be one of the worst in Chicago’s history. Ironically enough, who would have thought that the warmest place for Chicagoans to turn to would be the Madhouse on Madison, a place full of ice.
