clerk and recorder were moderated by Sandra Kato of the NAACP, and the debates for auditor and circuit clerk were moderated by Carolyn Casady Trimble of the League of Women Voters. The debate between Republican County Clerk Gordy Hulten and his Democratic challenger, Urbana Alderman Charlie Smyth, Ward 1, centered on improving voter registration and maintaining bipartisanship in the execution of the office. In his opening statement, Hulten said everyone deserves equal treatment under the law and

Students had the opportunity to learn about safe drinking practices and alcohol’s effect on the body at the sixth annual Think Before You Drink Alcohol Awareness Program on Wednesday. The event was sponsored by registered student organization Special Populations, a health education group for underserved populations through McKinley Health Center. The group is open to anyone and accepts volunteers at the beginning of each semester. The RSO has been preparing for this event, which was open to all students, for the past month. At the start of the event, students were able to maneuver an obstacle course set up in the foyer of Temple Hoyne Buell Hall while wearing drinking goggles. There were also informational booths throughout the foyer about the nutritional content of alcoholic drinks, statistics about drinking and driving and University drinking statistics. “There is an increasing alcohol safety awareness on campus,” said Pajion Montgomery, chairman of the committees of Special Populations and senior in LAS. “A lot of tragedies happen every year, and this is a way to facilitate information about safety and being safe while engaging in drinking.” The panel presentation was made up of representatives from the Carle Foundation Hospital, coroner’s office, Urbana Fire Department and Student Legal Services. They were invited to speak about their experiences with alcoholrelated incidents on campus. All of the representatives assured students that they were not telling them to never drink alcohol but rather to be responsible. Many of the panelists encouraged students to “think before you drink.” “If you’re going to drink, do it in a safe place and make sure someone sober is with you,” said Allen Rinehart, director of Carle Foundation Hospital’s emergency room. “Every weekend about six to eight students spend the

Aaron Klein , chairman for Block I and Orange Krush and junior in AHS, said his fellow Illini have a lot to be proud about. “Wearing orange is one part, but getting involved and promoting the school is important, too,” Klein said. “Everything you do should show your pride.” He said students should have pride in the new football and

Gov. Pat Quinn declared Oct. 24 “Nick Holonyak Day in Illinois” in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the scientist’s invention of the light-emitting diode, or LED light. Holonyak, who earned his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering at the University, invented the energy-efficient lighting source in 1962. Aside from inventing the more durable light, he has many other accomplishments in the field. “Few scientists and inventors have done more to transform our lives than Nick Holonyak, Jr.,” Quinn said in a press release. Holonyak holds over 40 patents and invented the red-light semiconductor laser that is used

UI makes strides toward sustainability, Wise says Chancellor says University exceeding its own expectations BY CLAIRE EVERETT STAFF WRITER

As part of Sustainability Week, Chancellor Phyllis Wise held a discussion Wednesday at the Illini Union about the University’s progress toward environmental efficiency. At the event, Wise presented a word cloud of energy and

environmental words faculty deemed most important at previous interactive luncheons. “I want to make sure there are actions behind each of these words,” she said. Food supply, production and safety, natural resources, innovative alternative energies, population growth and air quality were all words and phrases fl oating in the word cloud. Wise said she was impressed with the University’s desire to be sustainable and the students’ hard work.

Before December, she will make a decision on sustainability goals. “The word cloud is going to guide what we focus on this year,” she said. Wise said the University has already made a lot of progress reducing campus energy used this year. The University exceeded the Illinois Climate Action Plan goal, which was to reduce energy by 20 percent by 2015, by 5 percent. To continue reducing energy, Wise said the University

pledged to be the fi rst public research university in the United States to use energy-efficient LED lights. By 2020, all walkways will use LED lighting, and by 2050, the vast majority of all lighting will be LED. Discussing the topic of air quality, Jack Dempsey, executive director of facilities and services, said the 2017 goal for eliminating coal use was in fact possible.

Holocaust survivor recounts story of will to live Woman maintained her humanity in face of Nazi hate, brutality BY YELE AJAYI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

To appreciate life, one must face adversity and overcome obstacles. Magda Perlstein Brown, Holocaust survivor, spoke Wednesday night about her personal hurdles and obstacles she faced in Auschwitz and other concentration camps. Illini Chabad, a Jewish center at the University, hosted the event at the Material Science and Engineering Building. Brown was born in 1927 in Miskolc, Hungary. In June 1944, at age 17, she was deported to the concentration camp Auschwitz. From Auschwitz, she was sent to Allendorf, Germany, where one of the largest munitions factories was located. Slave laborers from neighboring countries, including 1,000 Hungarian Jewish women, were employed and sent to work. Brown spoke about the posters plastered all over Hungary demeaning the Jews to the lowest degree. “Those who weren’t Jewish were afraid to associate with

us,” Brown said. “Us Jews had to pool resources and support each other.” Brown said as her freedoms were being stripped away in Hungary, she lost all say in her personal life. A few weeks later, Nazi soldiers gathered the Jews of the community and sent them to ghettos. She described the soldiers as violent and inhumane. When Brown was shipped to Auschwitz, she was immediately separated from her family. She and a group of young females filed into a shower room where their hair was completely cut off. They were then sprayed with disinfectant and given dirty garments to wear for the remainder of their time at the camp. “You were no longer a person,” Brown said. “You were now a zombie. At this point we had low self-esteem.” After months of horrendous torture, Brown was sent to Allendorf, Germany, with other females aged 17 to 25. They were assigned to make bombs and rockets, filling them with liquid chemicals that turned their skin yellow, hair orange and lips purple. “Poison was affecting our body, and we had no protection,” Brown said. In March 1945, Brown rounded

Magda Brown, Holocaust survivor born in Hungary, shows the audience what the Star of David looked like and how it was worn as she tells her story about being a prisoner at Auschwitz. Illini Chabad sponsored the event. up the courage to hide in a barn to escape the brutal Nazi soldiers. The next morning, the American Armed Forces found her and liberated her and all the other slave laborers. Brown lost both her parents, and only six of her 70 family members in the camps survived. After sharing all of these struggles and hardships, Brown left her audience with three life lessons: Always protect your freedom, think before you hate and stand up to people who question your

honesty. Students in attendance sympathized with Brown’s story. “Brown’s story was very moving,” said Reggie Miller, sophomore in LAS. “It gave me a new outlook on the definition of freedom. We need to appreciate all the opportunities we have because back then, they were so restricted from any forms of freedom we have today.”

New York Times blogger visits campus, talks sustainability, overpopulation BY LIZ KOEHLER STAFF WRITER

JONATHAN DAVIS THE DAILY ILLINI

Andrew Revkin, New York Times blogger, gestures Wednesday at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center during his talk on how to live on an Earth approaching 9 billion people.

WISE FROM PAGE 1A “What we thought was a stretch goal — it turns out we’re really on track to make

it,” Dempsey said. Dempsey said that at the same time gas boiler’s replacements were being made bigger and more efficient, and noncoal steam use was being driven down at the University.

The Prairie Research Institute hosted Andrew Revkin , senior Fellow at Pace University and Dot Earth blogger for the New York Times, at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center on Wednesday to talk about communicating environmental sustainability. Revkin has spent a quarter century reporting on science and the environment. He delivered his hourlong presentation “9 Billion People + 1 Earth = ? ” and took questions from the audience after the presentation. Revkin introduced a new word at the lecture, while people sat on the stage and stood in the hallway, straining to hear. “The ‘knowosphere’ is a network of schools, libraries, businesses, agencies, organizations and other institutions eager to collaborate in fostering human progress on a fi nite but thriving planet,” Revkin said. The knowosphere can aid in com-

Katie Mimnaugh, graduate student in Natural Resources and Environmental Science and member of the Beyond Coal Campaign , said the possibility of University Foundation endowment investments being

municating with people and educating them about environmental issues. Revkin hopes to use the knowosphere to communicate that water, climate and energy matter. One facet of the network that Revkin encouraged the audience to use was Twitter, which can allow communication across the world. “Even an $8 phone can use Twitter,” he said. “Going forward, we are all part of this network intelligence.” The focus revolved around the estimation that in 2050, the world population will be 9 billion people. Revkin said the world will have to be careful with how to use resources, and communication will be vital in this effort. Bill Shilts, executive director of the Prairie Research Institute, said the institute chose Revkin as a speaker because he presents his view of science with a multidisciplinary approach that uses natural resources and protects cultural resources.

Newsweek Global, news media’s shift from print not the end of journalism

ewsweek will print its last issue Dec. 31. After suffering two decades of declining subscriptions and reduced advertising, the venerable magazine decided that it could not shoulder the $42 million it cost annually to put words on glossy paper. After this year, the Newsweek of old will become Newsweek Global, a fully digital property that will court the growing throng of mobile and tablet news consumers. From our perspective, it’s easy to get sentimental about the extinction of print publications. We love the feel of paper, the tactile journey through sections, the creases, the ink and the smell of the press. But Newsweek did the right thing: It’s going where the readers are. The journey that led Newsweek to this point was bumpy and often wasn’t pretty. Founded in 1933, the magazine shaped the journalism world. But after sales steadily slipped throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Newsweek was sold for just $1 to Sidney Harman, who died soon after the transaction. Editor Tina Brown’s efforts to generate hype for the fading magazine increasingly took the form of sensational headlines and covers that fell flat with the public, and rightly so: Pandering wildly for attention is not what Newsweek stood for in the past, and we hope that the move to digital will also signal a return to reasonable and thought-provoking journalism. According to a survey this month by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, half of Americans now own either a smartphone or a tablet, and 64 percent of tablet owners and 62 percent of smartphone owners say they use their devices for news at least once a week. People want to read the news, and they pursue it even without the comforting touch of paper in their hands. These readers are not firstadopters or technophiles operating on the fringe of the media environment: They are us, they are our parents, our teachers and friends. The meteoric spread of tablets and smartphones has crossed lines of age, profession and class. Tablets and smartphones are becoming the dominant platform for news and just about everything else, and the speed with which this is happening is accelerating. The hard reality is that news magazines like AARP The Magazine, O, The Oprah Magazine and The Economist are confronted with the danger of becoming trapped on the fringe of a media landscape where physical, printed content is only at home or in doctors’ waiting rooms. The shift to digital form provides magazines with more opportunities for expansion. While a significant number of new opportunities are available to these media companies, the platforms in which they have to compete also continues to grow. Despite the growth of magazines in digital form, these media companies have not made up the growth lost in print. Notably, both declining consumption of magazines and advertisers’ reluctance to take out ads are responsible. It may hurt, but the end of print editions does not signal the end of Newsweek, let alone journalism. The change is one of growth, not death.

but you focused much too long on the economy. The governor once again stated his five-point plan, which is more of a domestic plan than foreign. He could have easily focused on the foreign parts, such as trade, but both he and the president went on a tangent about education and classroom sizes. Yes, that is right. American education was discussed in a foreign policy debate. Makes perfect sense. Instead of talking about American education, their time may have been better spent discussing global climate change. Remember that topic? It used to be big a few years ago in the United States, but that died off. Sure, the governor mentioned energy independence, but that was it. This may come off as shocking, but emissions released in our country affect the rest of the world. However, for the first time in decades, the topic was not touched upon by any of the candidates or moderators. How’s that for foreign policy? This debate could have easily gone better for both candidates and for the sake of Americans’ views on foreign policy. I was hoping the final debate would push one man over the top, but both ended the night looking rather lackluster. Maybe in four years the foreign policy debate will shift away from Bush’s vision. Or, if nothing else, at least have a candidate who acts like he or she knows more about foreign policy than I do. And as I have admitted before, that’s not setting the bar too high.

fter being on the run for quite a while, my friend and I had taken refuge in an abandoned conference room — a quiet place where we could finally get some work done. I locked the door and sat down to begin unraveling the mysteries of physics. We thought we were safe. Then there was a knock at the door. I looked up to see a depressedlooking boy peering in at me. I got up to let him in. “What are you doing?” my friend asked. “It’s just one person,” I said. “There’s no harm in it.” I unlocked the door — big mistake. The boy’s face turned menacing as he turned and shouted, “Guys, I found a room!” Before I even realized what was happening, a dozen people had burst inside. They quickly took up positions around the conference table, set up their laptops and began barking orders at each other. Though many of them were speaking in Mandarin, I knew very well what was going on — the clickers had found us. Let me explain; by “clickers,” I am referring to players of the popular online computer game “League of Legends.” This game requires rapid mouse clicking, which is extremely annoying, especially when it occurs in large groups. This phenomenon is becoming an epidemic on campus and illustrates the broader issue of extreme gaming. Gaming freaks have been around ever since the release of “Pong” in 1972. However, modern games like “League of Legends,” “StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty” and “Diablo III” allow gamers to reach unprecedented levels of nerditude through enticing plots and enhanced online multiplayer modes. These forms of extreme gaming have detrimental effects on our society as a whole as well as on the gamers themselves. The widespread popularity of these games is very evident. Riot Games, the developer of “League of Legends,” claims that the game has 12 million daily “active” players, 90 percent of whom are male and 60 percent of whom are currently enrolled in college or have completed “some” college. So, what is it about these games that causes students to devote so much time to playing them? As psychiatrist Kenneth Woog, who has researched the matter extensively, said to The Australian: “You do something and get a reward. With enough rewards, you start to feel good about yourself. As well, you’re part of a team of people on a common quest.” All these virtual accomplishments and relationships make the gamers feel that they are living in the real world, while in fact they are living in a fantasy land that strips away the everyday interactions that characterize us as human beings. Researchers at Stanford have shown that obsessive Internet usage can be likened to an impulse-control disorder. Thus, extreme gaming can be viewed as almost a druglike addiction. Because this addiction causes students to put gaming over everything else, these students suffer academically and face possible health consequences due to a lack of sleep, exercise and food. The most troubling result of this spreading addiction is the way it shapes our society. Now, instead of spending free time enjoying the outdoors, socializing or playing sports, many students choose to isolate themselves in their rooms and live vicariously through their gamer profiles. This kind of isolationism leads to a decline in social capital, the kind described in Robert Putnam’s essay “Bowling Alone.” It follows that with a decline of social capital comes a less cohesive society that is more likely to exhibit conflict. This is not to say that gaming isn’t a good source of entertainment in moderation. However, because these online games are often subscriptionbased, game developers are encouraged to create games that leave players always craving more. This is why the casual gamer needs to be aware of the dangers and take steps to prevent acquiring a debilitating addiction. Admittedly, I have never given “League of Legends” a try. This is in much the same way that I have never tried crystal meth — the visible effects emanating around those die-hard users are enough to keep me away. Hopefully, our society can shift away from gaming and go back to the fundamental elements that make life enjoyable.

Boy Scouts of America ‘perversion files‘ reveal decadelong child abuse scandal ADAM HUSKA Opinions columnist

he last thing I expect to find when I open my closet is a skeleton. The Boy Scouts of America organization did so only to find about 20 years worth of skeletons — Halloween came early. All thanks to the Oregon Supreme Court, 14,500 pages of documents known as the “perversion files” outlining decades of alleged sexual abuse were made public. The so-called “perversion files” first manifested in 2010 when Portland, Ore., attorney Kelly Clark used them in a lawsuit against the Scouts. The files resurfaced in 2012 to become officially publicized because they are, in fact, public records. What I’m referring to are the decadelong allegations that the BSA has covered up a history of child sexual abuse and molestation. The issue arose when a lawsuit against the organization revealed confidential information stating that the BSA had banned 1,800 of their volunteers for allegedly abusing Scouts. Although a well-respected response to the issue, it still meant that at least 20 years had lapsed since the beginning of these bans and their uncovering to the public. After former Pennsylvania State University football coach Jerry Sandusky was similarly accused of child sexual abuse earlier this year, we’d think that other organizations would learn a lesson. But the BSA claim that they did — conveniently after secret documents outlining accused sexual abusers in the organization were threatened to be released. How interesting the actions an organization will take once their reputation is endangered.

The BSA silences its problems, silences its Scouts and does so all for the name of the organization. The entire purpose of detailing an organization’s policies such as antibullying and mandatory reporting is not only to stop the problem before it begins but to have the best resources available to address the problem. So what if the BSA came clean now? The emotional stress, victimization and deception — they’ve already happened and taken their toll on Scouts. No apology or expressed regret can take that back, so we can just hope for ethical change. To be honest, I really don’t care what they decide to fess up to. It’s too late. Further, situations like this lead me to believe they shouldn’t even be accredited for empowering and representing youth. This is the same organization that doesn’t even allow openly gay members to represent their organization. You would think that the name “Boy Scouts of America” would ring true, that they would represent the boys of America. Well, apparently only some of them. Particularly irritating is The Boy Scouts official website. Seriously, they have an entire tab dedicated to what they like to advertise as “Youth Protection.” Under this apparent “Youth Protection” program, all registered volunteers are required to be trained and report abuse regardless of the circumstance. Now what does it look like when an organization almost entirely dedicated to youth, that clearly emphasizes the safety of youth in writing, neglects all of these points in their actions? It’s deceitful. It’s bad enough that trained adult volunteers (and let me reiterate the words “trained,” “adult” and “volunteer”) are neglecting the welfare of the people they are supposedly “helping.” Not to mention the mixed messages this must be sending Boy Scouts.

The likelihood that a Boy Scout who has been sexually abused will report a supposedly “well-trained, adult role-model” is small. It’s also hard to imagine any mandatory reporting policy being the least bit effective when it’s the mandatory reporters who are the perpetrators. These are the same role-models who preach, again on its website, that they take a firm anti-bullying stance: “Verbal, physical, and cyber bullying are prohibited in Scouting.” The bullying we need to focus on is not between the Scouts, but from the organization, which covers up its problems while explicitly rejecting a group — gay boys. And that’s not overt and blatant bullying? Apparently the BSA doesn’t see it as bullying because they have recently reconfirmed their support for excluding gays in July 2012. The BSA appears to be preaching one thing and doing something completely different. An organization that cares about its children is an organization that would represent all children and address the most serious issues with the utmost sensitivity and importance. Want to be an organization dedicated to the welfare of young adults? Report abuse for the sake of the children, not of the organization. Want to be an organization dedicated to the welfare of all types of young adults? Lift restrictive membership policies and acknowledge children as people, not as their labels. If the BSA has any chance of being respected after this faulty approach, they will come forward with any future problems. They can set an example to children that even adults have to take responsibility for their actions and to other youth-dedicated organizations that silence, if broken, makes a lot of noise.

Foreign policy debate far too domestic JOANNA ROTHENBERG Opinions columnist

he final presidential debate aired Monday and focused on foreign policy. Americans tend to be much more aware of domestic issues, so the foreign policy debate might have been able to serve as a good eye-opening experience. However, neither candidate has the greatest background in foreign policy. Because of this, I feared the focus would be the same old rehashed talking points instead of the topic of the debate. Turns out, I was not too far off. The beginning of the debate stayed focused. The first question was about Libya, and I was impressed that the governor stayed away from mentioning the Obama administration’s failure in Benghazi, Libya, even when the question directly pertained to it. Maybe he finally realized speaking negatively about it did more harm than good? We learned the candidates do know the names of some foreign countries. For instance, Iran was mentioned 47 times, Israel 34 and China 32, reported Foreign Policy magazine. But even though Israel was the second-most-named foreign country, Palestine was not mentioned once. And even worse? The presidential candidates seemed to have forgotten to talk about our neighbors, Canada and Mexico. Last time I checked, work-

ing with them counts as foreign policy. They played the safe card and knew they would get a bigger reaction from voters for discussing the Middle East, even though Mexico’s war on drugs is approaching a death toll of 100,000. Speaking of conflict, the governor also said he wanted a bigger military. Governor, the United States has the largest military in the world, by far. Romney said we are at risk of losing military superiority if we continue to downsize the Navy and Air Force. I don’t think we need to worry too much about that. The Daily Beast made an interesting point about foreign policy and military. They called former President George W. Bush the winner of the debate because his administration “essentially defined American foreign policy as American military policy.” Foreign policy is so much more than what our military physically does. It is how we react and communicate with other countries. The only ally touched upon was Israel. By looking just through the debate lens, you might think they were our only ally. On the flip side, the biggest problem I had with this debate was that, more often than ever, I found myself asking, “What was the question?” This can be largely attributed to the fact the candidates started talking about domestic policy during a foreign policy debate. They were much too keen to focus on it as well. Sorry, boys, you had your chance to discuss various domestic issues during the first debate,

Illinois’ Quiz Bowl team generates buzz BY AUSTIN KEATING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Clenching a small buzzer in his hand, Ike Jose, senior in Engineering, sat with his three teammates in front of hundreds of people in Chicago. Twenty feet to their left was the opposing four-member team from the University of Virginia. The room was silent as the moderator began to ask the tossup question. As he progressed further into the question and gave more and more clues, a Virginia team member buzzed in with the correct answer before Jose could press down on the small buzzer. Scenes like this were repeated over the course of the match, and by the end, the University of Illinois Quiz Bowl team lost to University of Virginia 545-150. According to team president Billy Busse, junior in Engineering, the Quiz Bowl is a yearround intercollegiate competition that is comparable to “Jeopardy!” “‘Jeopardy!’ has short questions that are typically one clue, and you can only buzz in at the end,” Busse said. “Whereas Quiz Bowl tends to have longer questions, and you can buzz in whenever you know it.” Quiz Bowl questions address a variety of different academic disciplines, such as literature, history, science and sometimes popular culture. The questions are arranged in sequence from harder to easier clues. They’re designed to reward the player with the most knowledge of the subject, Busse said. Although Illinois lost the Division I fi nals to Virginia last spring, Jose, the team’s lead scorer, thinks receiving second place was an accomplishment. “We weren’t expecting to be there in the fi rst place,” Jose said. “It wasn’t a pretty match ... (but) we beat Yale, Harvard, Chicago and Brown to get there.”

Pennsylvania would do against Illinois this year, he voiced his concern about a possible gamechanger at nationals — Aaron Rosenberg, a new addition to the University’s A-team.

RSO OF THE WEEK

RSO shakes up bellies, normal exercise routine BY HALEY JONES STAFF WRITER

Shimmies, shakes and rolls accompanied by the sound of chiming bells and clinking coins fi ll the air during the Bellydance UIUC practice. This organization, which began as a group fitness class, became an official registered student organization this year. Mengying Wang, junior in Business and member of Bellydance UIUC, said that no experience is necessary to part sicipate in the organization, which hosts practices for beginners and experienced dancers alike, and plans performances. “Belly dancing is not hard to pick up. As a beginner, you might feel a bit uncomfortable, and as soon as you catch the trick of it, then it will be really easy,” Wang said. Michelle Senger, senior in LAS and former Illini Media employee, also said that belly dancing is easier to learn than dances such as ballet because belly dancing is much more of a natural movement. The club holds practices three times a week at the ARC in multi-purpose room five. The practices for beginners are on Mondays at 8 p.m. and Thurs-

days at 7 p.m. Advanced members practice on Sundays at 5 p.m. Both of the beginner classes typically contain anywhere from 20 to 30 students, and the advanced group just a few people. Four of the members give performances; however, they are looking to expand this number. The fi rst weekend of November, the troupe will be performing at The Highdive, and proceeds will be donated to a breast cancer awareness foundation. Alice Vossbrinck , graduate student and president of the RSO, began belly dancing in high school, and said she was drawn to it because of its feminine characteristics; many of the dance moves play up the female body. “I like to do the belly rolls and body rolls. It is where you move your chest and your bottom to make like an ‘S’ line. It is really sexy,” Wang said. Many of the moves for belly dancing target core muscles that people don’t typically exercise. The members agree that it can be a great ab workout. Some motions, such as the belly roll, are a very unique way of moving.

“The belly roll is kind of interesting because you are moving your muscles in the same way you would if you were in labor and having contractions. One theory about the origins of belly dance is it evolved as a way to prepare women for childbirth,” Vossbrinck said. With different backgrounds in dance, the members of the RSO like to add their own personal touches to the motions, Senger said. The troupe participants have different opinions on their favorite component of being a member of Bellydance UIUC. Wang said she loves to teach the beginners and watch them start to get accustomed to the movements. Meeting new people and seeing members who are really interested in the dancing is what attracts Senger. For Vossbrinck, it is being able to work so closely with the other teachers. “Working with the other women who are club leaders is the best part,” Vossbrinck said. “We are all really different, but we have a common goal, which is belly dance.”

PostSecret revealed to visit campus at Foellinger BY SARAH SOENKE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

W h i le mo st p e ople’s deepest, darkest secrets can be isolating, PostSecret.com creates a platform for them to form a community. With more than 150,000 secrets sent in by postcard to Frank Warren , the creator of PostSecret, the website allows the anonymous to voice their hidden tr uths, ranging from the light-hearted to the disturbing. After creating the project in 2004, Warren is extending it past the confi nes of the Internet through his five books, his most recent one being “PostSecret Confessions on Life, Death and God,” which has reached No. 1 on The New York Times bestseller list. Warren also goes on multimedia tours and will be coming to campus for an event sponsored by the Illini Union Board (IUB), Kappa Alpha Theta and Panhellenic Council. The event will take place on Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. in Foellinger Auditorium. During his presentation, Warren will discuss the stories behind some of the secrets he has received, as well as the ones that were banned from the books. Warren shares one of his own secrets at every event and then invites the audience to share their own. The PostSecret books can be purchased at the event and a book signing will follow the presentation, said Colleen Morgan , vice president of programming for Panhellenic Council.

The ongoing mail art project began when Warren encouraged people to send in a decorated postcard and anonymously share a secret, according to the website. The content of these secrets had no restrictions; rather, they were encouraged to “reveal anything – as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before.” Since then, PostSecret continues to grow as a community, sharing secrets from people around the world. After nearly eight years, it has become the world’s largest advertisement-free website with over half a million total views. Warren uses the site as a platform to raise awareness for suicide prevention and to provide support and inspiration for its viewers. The blog is updated every Sunday with Warren’s weekly selection of secrets. Bailey Hicks , sophomore in LAS, said that she’s been reading PostSecret updates “pretty faithfully” for years. It is the site’s lack of censorship, she said, that she enjoys the most. “It seems like there aren’t a lot of outlets for people to channel their frustration, anger, depression or whatever,” Hicks said. “I really like the idea that everyone knows your secret but no one knows you. ... It’s not just a one-sided thing, it’s an exchange. I like the fact that it creates a community with people you’re never going to see.” After including a comments section and e-mail responses

on the website to allow viewer feedback on secrets, the community has also expanded to include video secrets and a chat forum for the community. Warren’s event touring has been the host of PostSecret’s most personal face-to-face discussions. “We’re just really hoping that this betters the Champaign community as a whole and the campus as a whole because it’ll make people more educated on suicide prevention,” said Ali Rawlings, president of Kappa Alpha Theta. “(It) can help maybe make people aware of whether or not their friend is actually going through something like that.” IUB, Kappa Alpha Theta and Panhellenic Council have collaborated on putting together this event after Kappa Alpha Theta was given a grant to bring Warren to campus. The 1,400 tickets available are free to students, one per iCard. They will be distributed on a fi rstcome, fi rst-served basis from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 29 in the north lounge of the Illini Union. “We had heard that (IUB) brought him to Foellinger before (in 2008) and the entire place was packed that time, and so it’s expected that we would easily sell out again,” Morgan said. “We’re expecting it not even to last until two to be completely honest. ... So I would say if people are interested, to get there at 11 to ensure they’ll actually get a ticket.

Man of Magic

PORTRAITS BY MICHAEL BOJDA THE DAILY ILLINI

Andy Dallas, world-famous magician, owns costume shop BY ALICE SMELYANSKY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

he year was 1976. It was not only the bicentennial of our country, but it was also the 50th anniversary of Harry Houdini’s death. Suspended off the biggest building in Champaign, 21 stories off the ground was Andy Dallas, performing his first major escape act. The roads were closed off, an almost electric energy permeated through the air, and 4,000 eager faces looked up at the man hanging upside down in a straightjacket, anticipating the shock of a lifetime. As Dallas swiftly loosened himself out of the straightjacket, the spectators were not disappointed. After he successfully recreated one of Houdini’s classic escapes, doors began to open for Dallas. Though he had been performing magic since the age of 11, the straightjacket act marked his full immersion into the magic world. “I’ve been on some of the most wonderful magic stages in the world,” Dallas said, as he reminisced over some of his favorite performances. “There’s Abbott’s (Magic Company), which is out of Michigan. It was at one time the United States capital of magic. But to be on that stage ... every magician wanted to be on that stage. I was on it twice.” Serving as the president of the Society of American Magicians from 2006 to 2007, Dallas stood in the shadow of Houdini, as he too had once been president of the organization. He also participated in the Society of American Magicians convention, which gave him the

opportunity to perform for about 1,000 worldrenowned magicians from different countries. “How could I have done it better? If I had to do it all over again, I’d come back as a magician,” Dallas said. His interest in magic was always a prevalent factor in his life, but 37 years ago when he opened Dallas & Co., he was able to fuse his passions for magic and other novelty hobbies together. Though Dallas originally established a small store that only sold arcade games, he later decided to expand, and relocated to 101 East University Ave. in downtown Champaign. Today, his business holds over 20,000 items, ranging from over 2,000 costumes to Hollywood masks to theatrical makeup, and even manacles, if you should need them. “I’ve been there (Dallas & Co.) about 10 times over about 10 years,” said Tyler Jones, freshman in FAA. “I would definitely visit the store again because it is very well-known around Champaign, and they have a lot of cool and unique stuff.” With a 37-year presence, Dallas & Co. has expanded and altered over the years to include even more items. When the store owner of an upholstery shop across the street retired, Dallas bought his collection of piñatas. He then began to purchase toys and candy that customers could fill the piñatas with. Dallas has also acquired a large assortment of vintage pieces, such as the 6-foot tall clown that sits behind the register, made in 1900. The giant gorilla appropriately situated in the “gorilla room,” as Dallas calls it, was

purchased 18 years ago for $25,000. “I’ve got a store here full of things you don’t have to have,” Dallas said. “But don’t you think everyone should own a rubber chicken once in their life?” These days, besides working at the store, Dallas is gearing up for another performance in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. He also continues to participate in a show about 12 miles away at the Busboom Castle in Dewey, Ill. The 5,000 square-foot castle, surrounded by five acres of forest, was built by Bruce Busboom. It features the only working drawbridge in America, a moat and a large great room. Busboom and Dallas started hosting a dinner show at the castle some years ago, and since it’s inception, the 60 available seats for each show have sold out, around 1,000 people in all. During these performances, Dallas executes some of the tricks he’s known for throughout the magic community. According to the magic society, Fechter’s FingerFlicking Frolic, Andy Dallas is the best in the world at “Zombie Ball,” a trick that creates a floating ball illusion completed with a scarf. It took 35 years for Dallas to master, and he’s still perfecting it. “It’s definitely on my to-do list to see (Dallas) do an escape trick,” said Amie Harvey, employee at Dallas & Co. and sophomore in LAS. Now that Dallas’ son is getting involved in the business, Dallas hopes that he can step back and let him take over one day.

“This job has been amazing. And turning it over to my family, that would be even more amazing,” Dallas said. Just as he astonished those 4,000 people 36 years ago, Dallas still aspires to touch people through magic and his store. “However I’m remembered, I’m remembered. I’ve tried to be a good person and provide a service for my community,” Dallas said. “The most important thing in my life has been my wife and my son. If I have anything to say, that’s it; just having them there for me.”

Making the leap from high school to college BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

When freshman linebacker Mason Monheim got into the game for the first time, he said it felt like a whirlwind. Fellow freshman linebacker Mike Svetina said his head felt like it was spinning the first time he got on the field for the Illini. They both felt like the game was so fast, and it took some time to adjust to it all. Now, it seems to have slowed down for the two linebackers from Ohio. They’d never met each other before college and went to different high schools. Monheim is from Orville High School in Orville while Svetina is from St. Ignatius High School in Brunswick, but they’d heard about each other. When they met for the first time as Illini, everything just clicked. “Oh, he’s my boy,” Monheim said. “Mason’s a really good friend,” Svetina said. “He’s really goofy.” The two ride home together any time they are headed back to their home state; Monheim drives his Jeep while Svetina controls the music, which is mainly Drake and country. Monheim and Svetina have been two bright spots on an otherwise woeful 2-5 Illinois football team. Illinois head coach Tim Beckman, who recruited both players, said he has never had to play two freshman linebackers at once, but injuries have forced him to do so this season. He’s praised the play of both players, as they were two of the first to buy into Beckman’s coaching staff and to commit to Illinois. “They’re enthusiastic, confident in what they tell you, and it’s our job to just buy into that,” Monheim said. Monheim and Svetina have both taken advantage of injuries to linebackers ahead of them on the depth chart and increased their playing time. Svetina has had the difficult task of replicating Jonathan Brown, Illinois’ leading tackler, and Monheim has done well to replace the injured Houston Bates. Monheim is third on the team in tackles and has forced two fumbles with an interception. Now that the freshmen linebackers are comfortable on the field, their focus is on helping the team. Svetina and Monheim are not used to losing. Svetina won

a state championship last year and was named the 2011 Ohio Division I co-defensive player of the year. “We have to all get to the ball,” Svetina said. “Tackle a little better and just kind of take those great angles.” Monheim said he’s never been in a situation like the Illini’s. “I’ve never really been on a losing team,” Monheim said. “So I’m struggling.” As impressive as he’s been this season, Monheim shrugged it off. “I’ve talked to people, and it’s like, ‘Hey, you’re starting as a freshman, you’re playing well as a freshman.’ That’s good, but I mean to them it’s good,” Monheim said. “But to me, I want to win.” He’s been able to keep a level head, even though he remembers struggling at Camp Rantoul and thinking that this year was going to be a long process. But his former high school teammate Indiana sophomore linebacker Chase Hoobler told him to stay calm. His advice paid dividends for Monheim as he’s excelled on the field. He deflected most of the attention, but the one play that does get his wide smile to emerge is his interception against Charleston Southern. “Oh that,” Monheim said. “It was awesome.” After that Sept. 15 game, Brown praised Monheim’s instincts. “He’s not the best athlete, but he knows how to play football,” Brown joked. Veteran linebackers like Brown and Bates have helped usher in their two freshmen teammates. Monheim said Bates is one of his closest friends on the team and said playing next to Brown has helped him tremendously. Beckman has had to play a lot of younger players this season, something he plans to use in recruiting. “If I’m a high school football player, I’d love to go some place where I know I can play right away and not watch,” Beckman said earlier this season. Even as Illinois starts to get healthier, don’t expect these players to stop getting playing time and a chance to compete against Big Ten offenses. “It’s a challenge,” Monheim said. “But we like challenges, and we’re having fun with it.”

Illinois' Annie Luhrsen sets the ball during the match against Minnesota at Huff Hall on Sept. 21. Luhrsen was benched in October.

Coach sets Luhrsen aside Hambly on key decision: ‘Toughest one I’ve faced’ BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER

It was Oct. 10, and a three-set loss to Michigan had sent Illinois under .500 again. Not yet through two-thirds of the regular season, the Illini’s ninth loss matched its highest number ever under head coach Kevin Hambly. Something was wrong — the team, ranked No. 7 heading into the year, had too much talent to be losing more games than it was winning. Hambly, typically cool and collected, was flustered. “I’m at a loss right now,” he said after that game. “I thought we had it figured out and we don’t. ... I need some more time to figure it out.”

Jamal can be reached at collie10@ dailyillini.com and @jamalcollier.

Hambly conferred with his coaching staff, and a decision was made that would change the identity of his team. Looking to the setter position — the show-runner, often compared to a point guard or quarterback — Hambly and his staff decided to pull freshman Alexis Viliunas’ redshirt , a move Hambly had never made before, and relegate senior Annie Luhrsen to the bench. A Wheaton, Ill., native , Luhrsen transferred in 2009 from Connecticut, where she had been named Big East Freshman of the Year in her lone season, ranking 10th in the country in aces per set and

Groce faces battle for in-state recruits BY ETHAN ASOFSKY SENIOR WRITER

There used to be a time when the Birds of the world stayed home and forsook sunnier skies. Nowadays, it seems like it’s all about migration. Before cellphones, social media, unofficial visits and the expansion of Amateur Athletic Union, Larry Bird went to Indiana State. As a high school senior in French Lick, Ind., Bird averaged 30.6 points and 20 rebounds per game. He was recruited by Bob Knight at Indiana and attended the university for 24 days in 1974 before dropping out to enroll in a smaller in-state school. But all the same, he stayed home. He went to school just over two hours from where he grew up and led Indiana State to the national championship. For that, “The Hick from French Lick” will always be regarded as an icon in Indiana. Let’s call Bird the poster child. While almost everything in college recruiting was different back then — from the way recruits received national recognition to the cost of traveling across the country to visit schools — Bird’s career is the ideal recruiting pitch for Illinois basketball head coach John Groce. When Groce was hired at Illinois, recruiting Chicago-area hoops talent was viewed as more of an expectation than a request. It took two questions at his introductory press conference in March before Groce was coerced into talking about his plan for establishing relationships in the Windy City. He committed to “attacking” the Class of 2013, and while it appears the Illini have missed out on No. 1 recruit and Chicago native Jabari Parker, Groce has been a man of his word, as he managed to secure Parker’s teammate at Simeon Career Academy — Rivals’ No. 43 recruit Kendrick Nunn. Nunn is the highest-rated national recruit the Illini have landed since Jereme Richmond, who was rated No. 23 in the nation by ESPN. The Waukegan, Ill., prospect left the program after one season, never reaching his full potential at Illinois or, to this point, in his career beyond college.

notching the third-most aces in a single season by a Connecticut player. She came to Hambly’s program at Illinois to take the reins in a place where she could compete for titles. From there, Luhrsen exhibited patience. She sat out 2009 as a redshirt because of transfer rules and sat on the bench for most of 2010 as then-senior Hillary Haen led the team to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament, where Illinois lost to Texas in five sets. Luhrsen took over in 2011, and with weapons like Colleen Ward and Michelle Bartsch, Illinois rattled off 20 consecutive wins to begin its season . In that time, Luhrsen became fully acclimated to the Illinois offense. She set the team to its best season ever before the Illini were topped by UCLA in four sets in the national championship.

This year was to be Luhrsen’s second and fi nal shot at NCAA glory. Facing an unprecedentedly grueling schedule, Illinois started slow. A 1-2 record became 3-4, which turned into 6-4 as the team won three in a row. It seemed as though Illinois was about to get rolling, but then Illinois split its next two weekends, carrying an 8-6 record into its most critical weekend of the season, back-to-back games against Ohio State and Penn State. In a weekend where Illinois competed as hard as it had all season, the results were devastating. First, it allowed Ohio State to come back from a 2-0 set disadvantage. Then, 24 hours later, the team allowed Penn State to turn a 10-14 deficit in

FANTASY DOCTOR

Few top basketball recruits from Illinois play for Illini Unlike in football, baseball or hockey, one basketball player can drastically change a team’s success rate. In the case of college basketball, one player can completely revive a program by himself. It's been done before. The national attention a top recruit can bring to a university can affect that program's wealth, future success with recruits and place in history. Despite Illinois' relative proximity to elite-level recruits, the basketball program has had a difficult time landing a game-changing talent dating back to Dee Brown, aside from Jereme Richmond. Since 2007, just seven of the ESPN top 100 recruits from Illinois have played for the Illini. When John Groce was hired at Illinois, it was an expectation that he'd bring Chicago's top talent to Champaign. But how realistic is it to expect him to ever tap the top of the top the Windy City has to offer?

ow do you prioritize your fantasy team compared to your favorite NFL team? Let’s address this question in the form of a hypothetical situation. Your favorite team is the Chicago Bears. The Bears are 8-5 heading into their Week 15 matchup with the Green Bay Packers, who lead the division at 9-4. Let’s assume this game is on Monday Night Football. A loss for Chicago puts them two games behind Green Bay in the standings with the tie breaker belonging to the Packers, so the Bears divisional hopes are dead. Chances at a wild-card berth are still alive, but the task becomes much more difficult with the loss. It’s predicted that the Bears would have to win both their remaining games to make the playoffs and even that might not be enough. Your fantasy team is named “The Monstars of the Mid-

way,” a name combining both your fanhood of the Bears and your love of Space Jam. You’re made fun of mercilessly and for good reason. Still, the Monstars have an excellent regular season, advance past the first round of the playoffs and now face a semifinal matchup with the biggest critic of your team name, Brent. You hate Brent. You hate his name, and you hate his face. There is no one else you’d rather defeat in a crucial fantasy contest. The Bears hold a 21-17 lead with just under two minutes to play in the fourth quarter. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense take the field with every Bears fan in the world holding their breath, knowing what is about to happen. The Monstars of the Midway are down three points. It’s Monday night, there are no more games to be played and only one player on either team is still on the field — your quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. If the Bears can stop the Packers on this drive, they win the game and essentially clinch a

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1B Aside from Richmond, Nunn is the highest-rated prospect since Bill Self recruited Maywood, Ill., native Dee Brown — the No. 2 point guard in the country as rated by Rivals — to Illinois in 2002. Nunn’s commitment sheds some hope that Groce can in fact tap Chicago’s vast talent pool — but not without trepidation. The fact of the matter is Illinois hasn’t proved that it can land an elite-level, in-state talent for quite a while. Not that it hasn’t been there for the taking. Jon Scheyer, Derrick Rose and Anthony Davis have been plucked from the Chicago area, as each decided to play their college years elsewhere. Parker will likely make that same decision. There will be many in-state targets for Groce to acquire moving forward, as next year’s recruiting class might be even better than in years past. Jahlil Okafor, a center from Whitney Young Magnet High School, is the No. 2 recruit in the country for the Class of 2014 as rated by ESPN. Cliff Alexander from Curie High School in Chicago is ranked No. 9. Keita Bates-Diop is a power forward from Bloomington, Ill., — less than an hour away from Champaign — and is ranked as the No. 29 prospect nationally. It’s Groce’s job to keep these program-changing recruits at home, but based on prior results, that might be an unrealistic expectation. This all begs the question: Is the in-state recruiting tactic a lost art? “If Illinois was to keep players inside the city, inside the state, it would produce some great teams, but that’s hard to do,” Bulls center and Chicago native Nazr Mohammed said. After 14 years of NBA experience and four years at Kentucky, Mohammed has seen the landscape of college recruiting shrink and the challenge for home-state schools get harder. Similar to his situation 18 years ago, Mohammed has a certain teammate from Chicago — Bulls standout Derrick Rose — who decided to attend an out-of-state school, yet he still believes things have changed. In a day and age when communication is at a person’s fingertips and big-time programs like the ones run by John Calipari at Kentucky, Mike Krzyzewski at Duke and Roy Williams at North Carolina operate without recruiting boundaries, John Groce could be facing an up-hill battle. In-state recruiting seemed to have a hand in Nunn’s commitment, evident by a tweet the Simeon guard sent when he accepted his offer from Illinois: “@JohnGroce I Need That Scholarship..My State. My School #KendricksKingdom.” Then again, Nunn isn’t Parker, who eliminated DePaul, the last instate school on his list, when he chopped the number of destinations he was considering from 10 to five in early October. Senior guard Brandon Paul said he joined the Illini because staying at home was important to him. He played high school basketball at Warren Township High School in Gurnee, Ill., where he won Illinois’ Mr. Basketball award. He was also ranked No. 87 nationally by ESPN, and he made his decision fairly early. He’d wanted to come to Illinois since the eighth grade, and when former Illinois coach Bruce Weber offered him a scholarship after his sophomore year of high school, he accepted on the spot. “I think it was pretty much everything,” Paul said of the instate recruitment strategy. “I definitely think it’s a big advantage that some people can take advantage of. If you get a lot of the top in-state players, you get a chance to keep them at home. And they can help with future recruiting.” Paul’s teammate and fellow Class of 2009 recruit D.J. Richardson said staying in state had little bearing on his personal decision to come to Champaign from Peoria, Ill., but he understands why certain families factor staying close to home into their decision-making process. “I wouldn’t say it’s overrated, but it’s mainly for families,” Richardson said. “Sometimes it’s hard for families. They want to see their freshman, their kids

play. They don’t want to have to travel and get on an airplane every time they want to see a home game.” But even Richardson — who was a high-ranked recruit coming out of high school at No. 46 nationally by ESPN — and Paul weren’t considered elite-level, one-and-done-caliber players. Cavaliers center Tyler Zeller, a native of Washington, Ind., was ranked No. 7 in the nation for the Class of 2008 by ESPN. Indiana, Purdue and Notre Dame recruited him, but Zeller ultimately decided to leave the state and join North Carolina, where he said only two or three of his teammates were within three hours of their home. “Most of us were usually a flight away from home, but it really never bothered us,” Zeller said. “It was something where once you’re there, you’re there anyway. You don’t go home a lot. You get Christmas and you get maybe a three-day weekend where you can go home, but for the most part, you’re in-season anyway.” Zeller’s brother, Cody, was a top-20 recruit in the Class of 2011 and decided to do his own thing. He stayed in state and attended Indiana, and Tyler said his brother loves being close to home. “I think the U.S. is a lot smaller than it used to be,” Zeller said. “I think people travel a lot more. At AAU, we get out and we’re out all over the nation. It’s not as big of a deal going away, whereas before it was kind of daunting to go 11 hours away from home. It is tougher to keep you home. “It’s not a big deal going to a school further away, but it is a huge advantage being close to home and being able to drive home. My mom can bring him up stuff every other weekend if he needs it. It’s just very convenient.” In the same vein as Zeller, Bulls guard Marquis Teague is an Indiana native who left the state for a power program. He was ranked No. 8 in the nation in the Class of 2011 and was recruited in-state by Purdue and Indiana but decided to join Calipari at Kentucky. Teague said in-state recruiting has become an overrated practice in college basketball because distance has become a nonfactor. He chose Kentucky, which won the national championship in April, over other schools because he felt the most comfortable with the team Calipari was assembling. “Coach Cal went to go get the best players. It didn’t matter where they lived,” Teague said. “We all felt like we wanted to play with each other. Mike (Kidd-Gilchrist) came far. Anthony (Davis) traveled six hours to go to Kentucky. I was kind of close, but we all kind of come from a distance. Nobody really cared about that. Once we got there, we all felt like one big family. I think people go to the schools that they feel is best for them nowadays. It doesn’t really matter how close it is.” Illinois athletics unveiled a new marketing plan this August — “Our state. Our team.” — in a clear attempt to attract studentathletes to stay at home. The plan was accompanied by changes to the court at Assembly Hall and the field at Memorial Stadium. They now each boast a giant outline of the state of Illinois around the Illini logo. Groce loves to use the term “attacking,” and he promised this offseason that’s what he intended to do with Chicago recruiting. He’s made strives so far, but questions remain about whether the Illini’s new men’s basketball coach can ever really lock down elite Windy City hoops talent. “Things have changed. It’s not like it’s back in the ’70s, ’80s, where people weren’t getting driven across the country,” Mohammed said. “The home school doesn’t have as big of an advantage as 20 to 30 years ago. ... Kids have played all across the country. It changes that dynamic of a home school comes in, and the kid hasn’t seen much. Nowadays, these kids want to go play with their friends or with a certain coach. Travel — they’re not scared to travel. I think it’s just so different now as far as the recruiting aspect.” Nowadays, it just seems the Birds prefer to fly away.

FANTASY DR. FROM PAGE 1B playoff berth. If Aaron Rodgers throws a touchdown pass, the Monstars head to the championship against an overachieving team you’re sure you will beat. Rodgers marches the Packers down the field. But the offense stalls inside the Chicago red zone and faces a 4th-and-goal with six seconds remaining. Rodgers takes the snap and drops back. He surveys the field, looks left, then back to the right, plants his back foot and fires ... What are you hoping will happen? Be honest. What is your first thought when that ball leaves Rodgers’ hand? Is it, “Incomplete. Please, please be incomplete,” or is it, “Come on. Touchdown. Come on”? I offer no opinions, and I pass no judgment. But truly consider this scenario. You can tell a lot about yourself by how you answer this question. Oh, and here are some people to start this week.

START Andrew Luck (quarterback, Colts) — Luck is without a touchdown pass in his last two weeks, so he is due for a breakout game. Lucky for him, he’s facing a Tennessee team Sunday that has allowed the following point totals this season: 34, 38, 41, 38, 30, 23 and 34. That is an average of 34 points given up per game, which ranks last in the NFL. Luck should have a good time picking apart a defense like that. Stevan Ridley (running back, Patriots) — Ridley’s production is forming a pattern. Dating back to Week 17 of last season, he either thrives or slumps in two week increments — two good weeks, then two bad weeks, then two good weeks and etc. After touchdown-less games of 34 yards and 65 yards last two weeks, Ridley’s two good weeks begin against the Rams.

SIT Trent Richardson (running back, Browns) — Richardson is listed on the injury report as questionable, but even if healthy, I just don’t know about him. Some games he demolishes everything in his path like Walter Payton. And other games, like last week against the Colts, he averages one yard per carry. He’s too inconsistent for my liking. Eli Manning (quarterback, Giants) — Manning is a star, but his matchup this week against the Cowboys is tough. Dallas has not allowed a quarterback to throw for 300 yards this season, and the Cowboys have allowed two passing touchdowns only once. Manning very well could be the man to break that trend, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable with him in my starting lineup. If you have a viable backup, play him this week.

VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE 1B the fi fth set into a 18-16 clinching victory. The following Wednesday, the Michigan match happened. “Wednesday was the first time that I felt like the team was not responding to the leadership that was out there — so drastically that I absolutely had to make a change,” Hambly said in practice after Viliunas’ first match as starter, a five-set victory over Michigan State. “Before that, I was pondering a change, but definitely things came to a head that night.” While other teams in the conference have two setters that swap in and out of games, Hambly doesn’t buy into that philosophy. If you have more than one setter, Hambly says, you don’t have any. He said the only way Luhrsen would start at setter again this season is if Viliunas either got injured or played very poorly, which he does not foresee happening. Hambly said the move was based on team personality and called the decision “probably the hardest one I’ve faced as a head coach.” Luhrsen, who could be used in some capacity other than setter, has taken an insistently team-first approach to the rest of her season.

BRENTON TSE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois head coach Janet Rayfield discusses Illinois' halftime situation during Illinois' 2-1 loss to Northwestern on Oct. 18. The Illini are hoping to gain momentum in preparation for the Big Ten Championships.

Soccer confident for Big Tens but looks to gain momentum BY CHARLIE MANIATES STAFF WRITER

The Illinois soccer team knows it needs to be better than it has all season — especially with the Big Ten Tournament less than a week away. The problem for the Illini is that, before Sunday’s 4 -1 victory over Nebraska, they chalked up three straight losses against Minnesota, Wisconsin and Northwestern. Those teams have equal or lesser conference records than the Illini (5- 4-1). Members of the Illini said those games were winnable and that they cannot afford letdowns like those, which is why they came out with such energy Sunday. It is no secret that, in any sport, the hottest teams going into postseason tend to be more successful than teams that were not during their fi nal games. That is why Saturday’s fi nale at Michigan, a team that ranked second in the Big Ten, could be crucial from a confidence standpoint for Illinois. “Sunday was really good. We came back after a tough loss on Thursday,” freshman forward Nicole Breece said. “I think that’s going to give us a good momentum going into Michigan. They’re a tough

“I don’t think it’s important, what I’m thinking or how I’m feeling,” Luhrsen said. “I think the team is what’s important, and I think that’s what we’re trying to focus on.” Though the team expressed in practice this week an impetus to focus on themselves as individuals, Luhrsen is vehemently unselfish, refusing to think — at least publicly — about her own less-than-ideal situation. “You just can’t focus on that,” she said. “You have to focus on the team. Volleyball’s a team sport, and that’s the most important thing.” Hambly met with Luhrsen in person at their biweekly player-coach meeting, which Hambly has with all the players, and informed her of his decision. It was not a decision based on Luhrsen’s performance, Hambly said, but rather one made to provide for a more cohesive team personality. “I have no issues with Annie’s personality,” Hambly said. “Annie is — I love Annie. I love her fiery personality, I love her competitiveness and I thought that’s what the team needed, up until after Wednesday’s match (against Michigan), when I didn’t feel the team was following that anymore. “For me, I’m worried about if I’m gonna hurt her. I don’t

team, they’ve been doing well all season. If we keep our energy, keep the way that we played going in with a positive attitude and good energy, I think we’ll come out on top and put us in a good spot going into the Big Tens.” Head coach Janet Rayfield is not as concerned now as she was following the loss against last-place Northwestern on Oct. 18. She said the team turned a page following the loss and made critical adjustments that allowed it to play the way it feels it is capable of Sunday. “I think Sunday, and the week leading up, we really sort of made a turning point between the Northwestern game and the Nebraska game and started to say, ‘You know, we’ve really got to start focusing on the things that we can do and the things that we’re good at and realize that those are the reasons that we’ll win games,’” Rayfield said. The Illini worried less after the confidence boost, allowing them to simply play like they know how to on Sunday. Rayfield plans to reiterate that mentality leading up to postseason play. An added bonus for Illinois going into the tournament is that the team has been there wanna hurt a kid. That’s not my intention. ... I have tremendous respect for Annie. The thing is, some of this is out of her control, and that’s the hardest thing, like how do you explain that to somebody?” Hambly said he “felt a little sick to my stomach” in telling Luhrsen of his decision, but that he felt it was the right call. Luhrsen, who stands by her coach’s general vision, declined comment on Hambly’s decision. “I’m not gonna answer that question,” she said. Hambly informed Viliunas over the phone that she was going to be put in a starting role, and Viliunas said she was “shocked” — she didn’t know she could be taken out of redshirt. According to Hambly, neither did Luhrsen. Viliunas, by all accounts, is loose, carefree and goofy. She is an underclassman, like most of the team’s offensive weapons, and played with stellar outside hitter Jocelynn Birks in high school. The two share a Justin Bieber obsession. Luhrsen is still focused on volleyball, just not her personal role on the team. She approaches practice the same way, she said, and feels that bench players fulfi ll a vital role in team success. In her fi rst game sitting on the bench, a five-set win against

before. After returning most of last year’s team, which won the Big Ten Tournament against top-seeded Penn State, the Illini’s experience, they think, will give them a boost even if they are unable to grab a win in Ann Arbor, Mich. “Having been there, especially last year, which was the fi rst we’ve had one in a while and to experience those three games in five days ... having players back that have had that tournament experience is certainly helpful,” Rayfield said. Senior forward Nicole Denenberg said playing in a tournament environment and having followed through with the mentality of taking one game at a time will be a big plus for the Illini. Illinois knows it still needs to play without mistakes on the field to repeat last season’s outcome. The team says communication will be a big factor in the ultimate outcome. “We’ve got to connect passes, that’s when we’re good,” Rayfield said. “If we can communicate and be confident, we’ll connect passes, and if we do that, we’ll play some good soccer.”

Charlie can be reached at maniate2@ dailyillini.com. Michigan State, Luhrsen was the player representative who went out for the coin toss that decides who serves fi rst in the fi nal set. Luhrsen had played that role all season and will continue to going forward. “She’s very much still a leader on the squad, and people are still respecting the leadership even though she’s not playing,” said Laura DeBruler, a volunteer assistant coach who had a prominent career at Illinois before tearing her ACL in her senior season. “I think that might be the toughest thing she’s probably ever had to go through, is to not play, but it just shows the character that she is that people are still following her as a leader even though she’s not on the court.” Though Luhrsen could come in and play from time to time, her days of leading Illinois on the court are likely over. DeBruler’s fi nal season was cut short as well, but having suffered an injury, DeBruler noted, makes it circumstantially distinct. “Of course you wanna play, and when you’re not playing, that just sucks,” DeBruler said. “I went through it, but it’s different when — it is different. I commend her, for sure.”
