Faculty members voice concerns about Coursera

ELECTIONS 2012

BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER

STUDENTS DEBATE

University faculty members expressed concerns about the University’s partnership with Coursera, a site offering free courses from top universities, at the Annual Meeting of the Faculty on Monday.

The University formed the partnership with the online education platform in July. The program was started by two professors from Stanford University and gives interested students of any age the chance to take free, higher-education courses from universities within the partnership. The University, one of 33 partnered with Coursera, offers 10 online courses through the program.

Unlike some other universities in the partnership, Chancellor Phyllis Wise said, for now, the courses offered on Coursera do not count toward credit hours or toward a degree or certificate. She said the University may eventually decide that certain courses could count for credit, but “it’s totally up to us to decide.”

University President Robert Easter said administrators need to think deliberately about how online courses “contribute to a student’s growth and education.”

So Provost Ilesanmi Adesida has formed a committee that will evaluate the program and develop a system for deciding which University courses will be available on Coursera.

Still, many faculty members said they were worried about the future of the University and the quality of education students will receive from online courses compared to a campus experience.

George Gollin, professor of physics, said he values

ith a week left until Election Day, students representing the Democratic and Republican parties debated current issues presidential candidates have been debating during the last few weeks.

Shana Harrison, president of College Democrats and senior in LAS, and Despina Batson, president of College Republicans and senior in LAS, debated their views on four categories: the economy, jobs, foreign policy, and social and domestic issues. Cynthia Schweigert, anchor for The Morning Show on WCIA 3 News, moderated the hourlong debate at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center.

Each candidate argued the ideologies of her respective political party on each issue. Harrison and Batson discussed Obamacare, the auto industry, Libya, Afghanistan and social services such as Pell grants for students.

Lucy Li, student senate committee member and freshman in LAS, said she tried to be optimistic during the debate but said she felt Batson relied too much on personal experience and not enough on facts.

“I’m irritated by the remarks of (Batson),” she said. “Much of her statements were not supported by facts or actual evidence whereas (Harrison’s) information presented was reliable, and she was legitimately informed.”

During the debate, the audience had the opportunity to tweet in questions to Schweigert, who presented them to the candidates.

Angela Karountzos, junior in LAS, said she came to the debate to hear how the two sides would represent their views on popular issues.

“You watch the presidential debates on TV and everyone is always arguing,” she said. “But this (debate) was low-key. Everyone respected each other’s opinions, and I think it was handled very well.”

The debate was co-sponsored by Illinois Connection, an advocacy network within the Alumni Association, and the Illinois Student Senate, which put together a reception offering students the opportunity to speak with local legislators.

Jordan Hughes, chairwoman for the ISS committee on community and governmental affairs and senior in AHS, coordinated the reception.

“ISS wanted to be a part of the event because we thought it was important to give students an outlet, an open forum, to discuss these issues before the election,” she said. “We thought it was important for them to be talking to other students about these issues.”

Mike Frerichs, D-52, who is running for re-election, said he was invited by the student senate and was glad meet some of his constituents.

“I applaud the two women who participated tonight because it is so hard to get up on stage in front of other people and to debate on issues,” he said. “Especially when you aren’t the candidate yourself, and you have to argue on behalf of someone else.”

Urbana City Council approves small raises

BY CHRISSY PAWLOWSKI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Urbana’s elected officials — the mayor, city council and city clerk — may receive raises for the first time since the 2008 recession.

The Urbana City Council unanimously approved a proposal for moderate raises last week and will vote on these raises on Monday.

Historically, salaries of elected officials have been raised to match inflation each fiscal year, but this practice stopped in June 2009.

“We try to keep all the salaries in the city kind of in sync with each other, and before the recession really hit, people were getting 3 percent raises,” Mayor Laurel Prussing said. “We can’t really afford 3 percent anymore, and I don’t think other cities are doing that.”

Because 3 percent raises are no longer plausible, Prussing proposed keeping salaries flat this year, then raising them by 1 percent next year and by 2 percent the following two years.

“What we’re proposing is pretty conservative, and I think very reasonable,” Prussing said. “We expected to start growing again because houses are starting to sell again and prices are going up, but that could take a couple of years, so we’re just trying to set the standard for what

Therapy dogs provide stress relief at UGL

BY CHRIS SIMON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

While students were busy studying for midterms on Monday, Hunny, a registered therapy dog, was at the Undergraduate Library for a different kind of work. The Australian cattle dog mix enjoyed attention from stressed students who needed a break from their work.

The Undergraduate Library, in collaboration with the International and Area Studies Library teamed up with the Champaign-Urbana Registered Therapy Dog Group to bring in one of three therapy dogs to campus. Hunny was available Monday on the main fl oor of the Undergraduate Library for students, faculty and staff to pet, play with and walk for three hours.

Event planners scheduled the event during midterm season as a way to

bring stress relief, said associate professor Dave Ward , who works in reference services at the library.

Ward said the idea was formed at the Yale Law Library, where their therapy dog Monty provides a diversion for law students.

“The idea is to meet with the dog(s) and relax,” Ward said.

This is the fi rst time the libraries have ever held such an event with therapy dogs. Ward said both libraries will look to make this a regular event if it is successful this year.

Mary Davis , Hunny’s owner and admissions and records offi cer in LAS , is an officer for the Dog Training Club of Champaign-Urbana . Davis has been training dogs since she was 14, and she knows how much having access to a dog can help with stress.

“When I went to school, I stayed

close to home so I could see my dogs,” Davis said.

Davis said she got 6-year-old Hunny from a shelter after she was found severely injured — shelter staff assumed she was likely hit by a car — and was given a second chance by the veterinarian who cared for her.

Davis said she was glad Hunny was given that chance.

“She was waiting for me at that shelter,” she said.

Therapy dogs, Davis said, are trained step by step. They start out with basic obedience training and then work their way up. Davis said each dog has potential, and therapy dogs harness their “talents” for service.

At least 100 students stopped by

RAISES FROM PAGE 1A we think is reasonable in the light of what our budget is.”

Alderman Charlie Smyth, Ward 1, was in favor of moderate raises but voted against the proposal.

“I want to move away from percentage salary increases,” he said.

“It’s a principle when you use percentage-based increases, the rich get richer.”

Smyth suggested fixed dollar amount raises at the meeting, but his proposal did not pass. Although he is opposed to the percentage raises, he still thinks an increase is important.

“I’m in favor of small, moderate increases,” he said. “I think we do have to keep up with inflation (because) it is real work, especially the mayor and clerk’s offices. Those are full-time positions.

As a council member, I spend 10-20 hours a week at this, and at 20 hours a week, ... a modest increase is not unreasonable.”

Both Prussing and Smyth said when instating raises, they must proceed with caution.

“Our property values have gone down essentially, and we’re now at sort of the bottom of that living average, so our assessed valuation compared to last year is less this year,” Smyth said. “Even though other amounts (of revenue) are going up, that part of our revenue is going down, so we need to be very careful in the coming year to live within our means.”

Alderman Dennis Roberts, Ward 5, said he also thinks the plan is modest.

“It’s an extremely conservative raise offer,” he said. “I think it seems like a just balance between trying to encourage people to enter public office and keeping in mind that the city has a lot of difficulty meeting its obligations and trying to be very conservative.”

Prussing also said raises must start low to maintain a steady budget.

“We have to hold the line; we have to set the example,” she said. “We have labor contracts coming up in the spring, and we don’t want our costs to grow faster than our revenues.”

MEETING FROM PAGE 1A the face-to-face interaction in a classroom environment. He said as a classroom teacher, he recognizes the effects of curriculum delivery on a student’s education.

“I don’t think (Coursera) will replace, in any way, the kind of courses that you offer for credit at the University of Illinois,” Wise said. “But this is uncharted territory, and I think we have been very involved with this very fast-moving movement.”

Joyce Tolliver, associate professor in Spanish and University Senates Conference representative, said she questioned whether it was the University’s responsibility to provide this type of “free, quality education to the world,” and not just students at the University.

But Wise said one of the main reasons for joining the partnership was to be one of the few universities to reach out to students who either cannot

afford a college education or are simply interested in pursuing higher education. She said she also believes that the University courses offered through Coursera will make the University more internationally recognized.

“Our (Coursera) courses should reflect the quality and breadth of the kinds of courses you can get at the University of Illinois,” she said.

Wise said the program has a wide variety of students enrolled in the courses, including high school students who try out a course to see what kind of classes they can potentially take in college. Wise said even high school teachers take courses to keep their high school classes up to date.

She said 61 percent of students taking Coursera courses are from abroad, and only about 10 percent of students enrolled in the courses actually complete them.

“You can see that there’s a lot of dynamic going on, and there’s a lot of churning,” Wise

said. “I want us to be at the center of that table.”

Although Nicholas Burbules, a member of the Provost’s committee handling Coursera and Senate Executive Committee member, said that while he is unsure of the future of online courses compared to a campus education, he believes it is better to be involved in the conversation.

“Things are happening,” Burbules said. “They’re happening with us, and they’re happening without us. It’s better that we be inside the tent and actually shaping and participating in that future than be like other schools wondering why they aren’t part of this.”

The University will hold a workshop with Daphne Koller, co-founder of Coursera, on Nov. 1. Wise said Koller will be available to answer questions from anyone in the University community and she encouraged faculty members to attend.

Sandy floods coast, millions without power

BY ERIN MCCLAM AND KATIE ZEZIMA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Superstorm Sandy slammed into the New Jersey coastline with 80 mph winds Monday night and hurled an unprecedented 13-foot surge of seawater at New York City, threatening its subways and the electrical system that powers Wall Street. At least four deaths were blamed on the storm, and the presidential campaign ground to a halt a week before Election Day. Sandy knocked out power to at least 3.1 million people, and New York’s main utility said large sections of Manhattan had been plunged into darkness by the storm. Water pressed into the island from three sides.

Just before its center reached land, the storm was stripped of hurricane status, but the distinction was purely technical, based on its shape and internal temperature.

It still packed hurricane-force wind, and forecasters were careful to say it remained every bit as dangerous to the 50 million people in its path.

As the storm closed in, it smacked the boarded-up big cities of the Northeast corridor — Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston — with stinging rain and gusts of more than 85 mph. It also

converged with a cold-weather system that turned it into a superstorm, a monstrous hybrid consisting not only of rain and high wind but snow.

Sandy made landfall at 8 p.m. near Atlantic City, which was already mostly under water and saw a piece of its world-famous Boardwalk washed away earlier in the day.

Authorities reported a record surge more than 13 feet high at the Battery at the southern tip of Manhattan, from the storm and high tide combined.

In an attempt to lessen damage from saltwater to the subway system and the underground electrical network that underlies the city’s fi nancial district, New York City’s main utility cut power to about 6,500 customers in lower Manhattan. But a far wider swath was hit with blackouts caused by flooding and transformer explosions.

The subway system was shut down Sunday night, and the stock markets never opened at all Monday.

They are likely to be closed Tuesday as well.

Airlines canceled more than 12,000 fl ights, disrupting the plans of travelers all over the world, and storm damage was projected at $10 billion to $20 billion, meaning it could prove to be one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.

Governor, union file opposing pleas over prison closures

BY JOHN O’CONNOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration and the union representing correctional workers fi led dueling court pleas Monday over a ruling allowing the state to proceed with prison closures, actions that promise to prolong the struggle over whether penitentiaries can shut their doors to save money while keeping a crowded penal system safe.

The administration sought permission to proceed with closures in a Cook County court-

room while at the other end of the state, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees asked an Alexander County judge not to dismiss a prohibition on shutdowns he ordered earlier this month.

“This is good news for taxpayers,” said Quinn spokesman Abdon Pallasch, estimating the state would eventually save $100 million a year “by closing empty or half-empty, very expensive prisons and juvenile detention centers that are no longer needed.”

The Democratic governor said the state cannot afford to keep running Tamms, Dwight, inmate transition centers in Decatur, Carbondale and Chicago, or juvenile detention facilities in Murphysboro and Joliet.

His aides have repeatedly used “half-empty” in referring to Tamms, a segregation prison for violent inmates, a status the administration has in part created by halting inmate transfers there.

Murphysboro is empty because the state transferred

all its residents during the summer.

Other facilities are packed — overall, there are more than 49,300 inmates in a system designed for 33,700.

Quinn wanted most of the facilities closed by Aug. 31, but Bierig ruled with the union that he had to negotiate conditions.

The arbitrator’s latest ruling declared even though those talks reached impasse, the administration had held up its end.

“We believe this decision clearly violates the state’s pub-

lic policy that requires the employer to provide a safe work environment,” Bayer said in a statement. “We have asked the judge to vacate the arbitrator’s award and submit the case back to the arbitrator to correct his mistakes.”

AFSCME had persuaded a judge in Alexander County — home to Tamms prison — to halt shutdown plans until negotiations concluded. Now the union is asking him to keep it in place.

Bierig ruled that even if Quinn’s proposal created a

“clear and present danger,” the administration had taken necessary precautions, such as fortifying cells at Pontiac, where violent Tamms inmates will be transferred, and providing training for officers overseeing them.

The scuffle will not likely be concluded soon. Even without court action, AFSCME officials say the union has the right to enter into another form of arbitration that is guaranteed to public safety workers who are not allowed to go on strike.

Profits from palm oil problematic

LANGSTON ALLSTON THE DAILY ILLINI

UC Smile currency likely to fail without more support from community

RENÉE WUNDERLICH

To

encourage people to shop locally, a new form of local currency not backed by a national government will be circulated beginning Nov. 1.

The currency, called UC Smiles, is a pilot program that will last six months. The University’s Office of Public Engagement gave a grant to Seonmi Kim, graduate student, for this program. One dollar is equivalent to one UC Smile, but only certain local stores, such as Strawberry Fields, That’s Rentertainment, Escobar’s and a small number of establishments on campus, accept the currency.

The UC Smile would be great for businesses because it could generate repeat customers who would be bound to return.

But the program likely will not work. For the program to be more widely used, more stores need to accept the UC Smile. With good reason, people will not want to hand over a universal currency for one that can only be used at a few stores.

Additionally, there is not much of an incentive for customers to use the UC Smile.

Some stores offer discounts or a free item for any purchase that uses UC Smiles, but the benefits are not big enough to motivate people to go out of their way and exchange U.S. dollars for UC Smiles. The free benefits are not intended to be long-lasting, either. According to the website for the new currency, “At least initially, we ask that you provide some special discounts or services to customers using Smiles.”

Many people shop locally and see the importance of keeping business in this area, but the inconvenience of toting around yet another item in a purse or pocket isn’t altogether an inviting idea.

Another problem with the program is the University giving it a grant. The grant will go toward printing costs and reimbursing businesses who accept the UC Smile. In a previous Daily Illini story about UC Smiles, Jake Dermer, junior in AHS, questioned the University’s contribution to the UC Smiles program, asking why the University was giving out real money to print fake money. Mr. Dermer, you have hit the issue right on the head.

Local money is not always problematic, though. In 1933, Urbana began printing Urbana Money to help strengthen the local economy during the Great Depression.

At the time, local currency may have been necessary, but the current economic conditions do not merit using UC Smiles over the U.S. dollar.

Despite the recent economic recession, economic conditions are not dire enough to motivate Champaign-Urbana residents to use a new form of currency.

The goal of UC Smiles is a noble one, but unless more stores accept the currency and offer more benefits to UC Smile users, the program will likely fail.

our opinion on these five-second tidbits we catch on our news program that we have already handpicked to force-feed our own opinions back to us.

The politicians who stick to their guns are always labeled as extremists or crazy. Take Ron Paul, for example, a socially liberal, fiscally conservative politician. Those positions probably align with more people than Romney or Obama. So you want a president who doesn’t spend much but doesn’t discriminate against the LGBT community and won’t wage unnecessary wars? Ex-Fox News pundit Judge Napolitano points out that Ron Paul might be the only source of real change in a struggling political system (he’s probably an ex-pundit for pointing that out) because he doesn’t fit the traditional mold of the Democratic or Republican party.

Let’s just pretend he doesn’t exist because he doesn’t fit a left or right agenda.

The fact that this election is close just goes to show you the country’s sentiment for replacing President Obama. A more popular Democrat would probably wipe the floor with Romney. As a northern governor, at least Mitt won’t be taking the other popular phrase from FNL — “Texas forever!” — and for that I guess we can all be grateful. My apologies go to Coach Taylor, whose heroics are now tainted by the epitome of this era’s politician.

nvironmentalists, animal rights advocates and NGOs jumped all over Nestle for their use of nonrenewable palm oil in their popular Kit Kat candy bar. Kit Kats, or rather the palm oil that made the milk chocolate not melt into the wafer-cookie centers, were indirectly wiping out orangutans in 2010. The deforestation of native species of palm trees in the region left an already-endangered species with even less of a habitat. Chew on that with your chocolate-covered, crispy wafers from your Halloween candy collection.

Palm oil is the slippery substance used in everything from pastry dough to peanut butter. And this year, it’s disappearing from many popular namebrand candies because of the real-life horror story that is going on between the dark forces of orangutans and local economies.

Let’s be clear: the candy companies are not poaching the orangutans themselves, at least not directly. Reports of orangutans’ torture and brutal death by plantation workers and village locals have been brought before global governments like the European Union and the United Nations by NGOs. These incidents occur in the backwoods, though, with little evidence and minimal attention short of remorse toward the apes.

The companies that harvest this oil chop down forests, leaving the ground bare as new palms are planted, and during this time of emptiness, orangutans and other native species cannot find shelter, so they starve and die.

But this was two years ago, right?

The big, bad candy companies were reprimanded by the go-green goodiegoodies and now every baby orangutan can sleep soundly. Not quite.

While many companies have responded to the threat of losing an already-endangered species, deforestation still rages in Indonesia, where massive palm plantations are planted to supply the wealthy Western confection corporations, which bring us 3 Musketeers, Snickers and Twix. This is, of course, until consumers realize the cost of their fun-size treats and start writing to these companies or boycotting the products entirely. But advocacy takes effort, and Halloween is a day of dress-up, drunkenness and fun.

Halloween is also the holiday for candy sales. Christmas comes close, but candy canes can’t compete with the adrenaline-induced drive of a kid — or college student, let’s be honest — to collect as much high fructose corn syrup that a single pillow case can hold. Patriotic celebrations don’t center on confections: St. Patrick’s Day focuses on greasy food. Halloween can leave you with a sugar rush — Valentines’ Day leaves many with a bitter aftertaste. So the hobgoblins win. Stock-ups for trickor-treating, and candy sales in general, churn major profit for companies like Mars and Hershey around the 31st.

What I find increasingly interesting in the case is that palm oil is not required to make a candy bar. Minor changes in texture or consistency, yes, but the flavor isn’t affected. Ingredientwise, it’s not essential, but economically, it’s a gold mine. Producing palm oil is cheap for Western companies that outsource farming to those tropical climates that produce the oil.

Palm oil is an additive, a highly subsidized, in-demand additive that supports local village economies. Harvesting palm oil may not be a dream job, but for those living in Malaysia and Indonesia, it may be the best or the only option available. When palm plantations are planted, sure, the natural balance of the forest is upset, but villagers can afford to feed their families, their children. Saving the orangutans seems simple enough, but by saving their home, we may be evicting our human neighbors.

Some companies responded to consumer outrage by banning palm oil in their products altogether. But it is more difficult to stay competitive when other businesses are making quick money at the cost of others. Whole Foods Market pledged this year to not purchase any products that were made with non-sustainable palm oil. But few other large companies can afford the luxury of a semi-wealthy niche market that searches for organic everything.

Horror movies often end on a gruesome, chilling note. We like this, or at least those of us who willingly watch scary movies enjoy the tension, the eerie resolve, the dark force that can never truly find peace. Ghosts and zombie apocalypses are entertaining enough because we can suspend our disbelief in curses, unlucky omens and twisted characters. But what happens when the nightmare is real? (Sorry to steal your thunder, Freddie Kruger.)

The fate of the orangutans vs. palm oil plantations may prove to be just as haunting.

Human race at turning point in history SARAH FISCHER Opinions columnist

I

am the 80,564,737,269th person to have lived since history began. Consider that. I’ve been alive for 7,628 days, and slept for almost 7 years. I spent 745 hours in the classroom so far, with another semester and graduate school to go. I am among a United States population of over 311 million. Almost 5.5 billion people were alive on Earth when I was born, and, at the time of this writing, it had increased 1.6 billion people.

In 1800, the world’s population was one billion. By 1930, it was 2 billion, 1974, 4 billion and last year around October 31st, the United Nations declared the world population had reached 7 billion people.

This growth is not only historic and unprecedented, it’s possibly dangerous, especially if we continue at this rate. The U.N. predicts three ways the rest of the century could go: 10 billion, 16 billion, or a slight decline to 6 billion.

Before we investigate where we could be, let’s look at where we are, one year after the 7 billionth human was born.

The average human today, according to National Geographic is male, right-handed, and makes less than $12,000 a year. He has a cellphone, but not a bank account.

He is around 28, and is Han Chinese.

We speak over 7,000 languages and live in more than 192 countries, have an average of 2.5 children and, in the United States, live an average of 78.5 years.

About every second, five people are born and two people die, contributing to a growth rate of nearly 260,000 people a day. In 2008, for the first time ever, more of us lived in cities than in rural areas.

There are 21 cities with popula-

tions over 10 million. The entire population, standing shoulder-toshoulder would only fill the city of Los Angeles, and if given a bit more space, all of us could live in France.

Humans are an impressive species. We sent over 200,000 text messages a second in 2010, could buy a McDonald’s hamburger from over 100 countries in 1997 and each watched 1,812 hours of television a year in 2009. But we are a statistically unequal species. The richest countries consume double those resources used by the rest of the world. In fact, the U.N. estimates that if our current trends continue, by 2030, we will need the resources of two Earths to support our consumption. This consumption can be broken down into three major categories:

Energy consumption Of the world’s energy, 5 percent of us consume 23 percent of that. While the shift from oil and natural gas to more sustainable alternatives such as wind and solar energy is coming, it is slow to take hold. In 2009, for example, the per capita use of oil in the U.S. was 7051 kg; the world average that same year, only 1790 kg.

To maintain such high levels of consumption, not only in the U.S. but in other high usage countries, we need to reduce our dependence on nonrenewable resources, and instead focus our efforts on renewable sources.

Food and water Roughly 14 percent of the world doesn’t have clean drinking water.

The average American household of four consumes 400 gallons of water per day. These already tight resources are under growing pressure from the expanding global population and climate change.

Tied in with the issue of clean water is that of malnutrition in much of the world, including here

in the United States, where 1 in 6 people go hungry. The world produces enough food to feed the ever-growing population; it creates more calories per person today than it did 30 years ago, yet still a billion people went hungry in 2010.

Pollution Our ever-increasing population has further strained the environment, stemming consistently from our expulsion of CO2. China, with its gigantic population, has had a 171 percent increase in emission since 2000, and releases more CO2 than the United States and Canada combined. India, another enormous population, is the third largest emitter of CO2. The United States, which has a large human population, but more importantly has a large automobile population, is taking steps in the right direction. Though we failed to sign the Kyoto protocol, we have decreased our CO2 emissions for the last two years in a row.

This is a moral crisis. How we expand our population, allocate our resources, spread our information and take care of each other and the planet will determine if we can sustain our rate of growth — and if we even need to. The population rate is still rising, unceasing, and looks to continue that way well into the next decades — possibly even the next century.

You are of one of over 7 billion people sharing the earth today. As we celebrate a year with a population over 7 billion, it is important to remember the impact that you have as one of those 7 billion. The small choices you make today have a colossal impact on the trajectory of the world, on not only you and your progeny, but on Buddhist monks in Tibet, museum curators in Germany and fishermen in Indonesia.

Clear eyes, full hearts, you may lose BRIAN SIEGEL Opinions columnist

S

ay it ain’t so, Tim Riggins. Mitt Romney has stolen the slogan from one of my all-time favorite shows and thrown it down the toilet. Mitt has adopted the catchphrase “Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose,” and quite frankly, I’m furious. If there was ever a campaign that displayed the admirable qualities portrayed by the lovable Dillon Panthers in the TV show “Friday Night Lights” Mitt Romney’s campaign is not it. Clearly Peter Berg, the creator of the show, agrees with me. In a letter, he asked that Romney stop using the slogan, calling it plagiarism, and said it does not align with the morals demonstrated in the show.

In fact, Mitt Romney’s campaign is everything that is wrong with our generation’s politics. The Dillon community was one laced with passion and unwavering dedication to the high school football team.

Mitt’s campaign has no dedication to a single moral ideology. I haven’t seen flops this big since LeBron James and the Heat were on TV. Romney barely can remember what his positions are on a daily basis. His attempt at catering to female voters is borderline pathetic. No, scratch that, it is for sure pathetic. I remember him suddenly becoming ultra-conservative in the Republican primary. Did

anyone expect the guy who is running against a health care system almost identical to the one he created not to come crawling back to the middle of the political spectrum for the home stretch of the election?

As a supporter of fewer government regulations in the marketplace, I find it troublesome that I can’t find out how Romney will make up the deficit in his major tax cut. He has been dodging the question since Day One. I have backed his success and defended his low effective tax rate, but he is hanging me out to dry with this half-baked tax policy.

There is literally a YouTube video of Mitt debating himself on issues across the board. First he said he wouldn’t cut taxes on the wealthy; now he says he would cut taxes across the board. First he said patients with pre-existing conditions are covered in his health plan; now they aren’t. The list goes on. He has said so many contradicting things that to bash him on each point would go well beyond the space I have for this column.

Berg said it exactly when he said the only comparison between Romney and the show was his similarity to Buddy Garrity, the manipulating car dealership owner — but even Buddy was more likeable.

The problem is that this type of flip-flopping, lackluster politics is more than tolerated — it’s expected. Where are the noble politicians? We have fallen so far into our polarized division of politics that we hardly see facts or a real change in ideas anymore. We base

TAs HAVE BEEN WORKING

75 DAYS WITHOUT A CONTRACT

The Graduate Employees’ Organization (GEO) represents over 2,400 University of Illinois Teach­ ing Assistants (TAs) and Graduate Assistants (GAs) who have been working without a contract since August 16. TAs teach 20 percent of all class hours on campus. GAs perform essential work at campus libraries, the McKinley Health Center, and other vital campus offices.

The GEO has met with University administrators 20 times since April to discuss a new contract.

The most important issue that remains unresolved is tuition waiver security. Tuition waivers are used by top­tier public research universities across the country to attract high quality graduate students who provide low­cost labor.

In 2009 the GEO went on strike for two days in order to ensure that the administration would not unilaterally change tuition waivers for TAs and GAs. The administration claimed that it had no in­ tention of making such changes and agreed to a contract that included this guarantee.

Unfortunately, the administration did not live up to its commitment, as it reduced waivers for stu­ dents in Fine and Applied Arts less than a year after signing the contract. In response, the GEO filed a grievance. The GEO’s position was upheld in September of 2011 by an independent arbi­ trator. The administration has refused to comply with that decision and has instead pressed for­ ward with a costly legal battle.

The administration’s position on tuition waivers is part of a trend toward restricted access to the University of Illinois. Since 2001 undergraduate tuition has gone up roughly $6,000 per student, making it increasingly difficult for middle class and lower income families to afford higher educa­ tion and forcing many students to take on mountains of debt. The administration argues that this increase is needed because of a reduction in State funding, but State funding has only dropped by about $3,000 per student. So where is the extra tuition revenue going? It has not gone into hiring more instructors to keep up with the 13 percent increase in undergrad enrollment since 2001. Instead, it has been diverted to increasing the size of the administration and the six figure salaries of top administrators who have fallen from grace, only to pull the rip cord on their golden parachutes.

The GEO calls on the campus community to join in our efforts to ensure that our public university system remains accessible to all. Without tuition waivers, out­of­state and international graduate students, as well as lower income and first generation graduate students, many of them from communities of color, would have no hope of affording to study on our campus, regardless of their merit. Not only would those students and their families lose opportunities for advancement, but our campus community would lose their scholarship and social contributions. The campus climate would suffer along with the university’s reputation.

The GEO is committed to engaging the administration in productive negotiations at the bargaining table. In that spirit, we have asked for a federal mediator to help us reach a timely agreement that is acceptable to both sides. Our goal is for all members of our campus community to carry on in their labor without disruption. Please stand with us.

Sandy hits Caribbean; Cuba badly damaged

BY PETER ORSI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAVANA — Residents of Cuba’s second-largest city of Santiago remained without power or running water Monday, four days after Hurricane Sandy made landfall as the island’s deadliest storm in seven years, ripping rooftops from homes and toppling power lines.

Across the Caribbean, the storm’s death toll rose to 69, including 52 people in Haiti, 11 in Cuba, two in the Bahamas, two in the Dominican Republic, one in Jamaica and one in Puerto Rico.

Cuban authorities have not yet estimated the economic toll, but the Communist Party newspaper Granma reported there was “severe damage to housing, economic activity, fundamental public services and institutions of education, health and culture.”

Yolanda Tabio, a native of Santiago, said she had never seen anything like it in all her 64 years: Broken hotel and shop windows, trees blown over onto houses, people picking through piles of debris for a scrap of anything

to cover their homes. On Sunday, she sought solace in faith.

“The Mass was packed. Everyone crying,” said Tabio, whose house had no electricity, intermittent phone service and only murky water coming out of the tap on Monday. “I think it will take five to ten years to recover. ... But we’re alive.”

Sandy came onshore early Thursday just west of Santiago, a city of about 500,000 people in agricultural southeastern Cuba.

It is the island’s deadliest storm since 2005’s Hurricane Dennis, a category 5 monster that killed 16 people and did $2.4 billion in damage. More than 130,000 homes were damaged by Sandy, including 15,400 that were destroyed, Granma said.

“It really shocked me to see all that has been destroyed and to know that for many people, it’s the effort of a whole lifetime,” said Maria Caridad Lopez, a media relations officer at the Roman Catholic Archdiocese in Santiago. “And it disappears in just three hours.”

Lopez said several churches in

the area collapsed and nearly all suffered at least minor damage.

That included the Santiago cathedral as well as one of the holiest sites in Cuba, the Sanctuary of the Virgin del Cobre. Sandy’s winds blew out its stained glass windows and damaged its massive doors.

“It’s indescribable,” said Berta Serguera, an 82-year-old retiree whose home withstood the tempest but whose patio and garden did not. “The trees have been shredded as if with a saw. My mango only has a few branches left, and they look like they were shaved.”

On Monday, sound trucks cruised the streets urging people to boil drinking water to prevent infectious disease. Soldiers worked to remove rubble and downed trees from the streets.

Authorities set up radios and TVs in public spaces to keep people up to date on relief efforts, distributed chlorine to sterilize water and prioritized electrical service to strategic uses such as hospitals and bakeries.

Enrique Berdion, a 45-year-old

FRANKLIN REYES ASSOCIATED PRESS

Resident Antonio Garces tries to recover his belongings from his house destroyed by Hurricane Sandy in Aguacate, Cuba, on Thursday. Hurricane Sandy blasted across eastern Cuba on Thursday as a potent Category 2 storm and headed for the Bahamas after causing at least two deaths in the Caribbean. doctor who lives in central Santiago, said his small apartment building did not suffer major damage but he had been without electricity, water or gas for days.

“This was something I’ve never seen, something extremely intense, that left Santiago destroyed. Most homes have no roofs. The winds razed the parks,

toppled all the trees,” Berdion said by phone. “I think it will take years to recover.”

Raul Castro, who toured Cuba’s hardest-hit regions on Sunday, warned of a long road to recovery.

Granma said the president called on the country to urgently implement “temporary solutions,” and “undoubtedly the

definitive solution will take years of work.”

Venezuela sent nearly 650 of tons of aid, including nonperishable food, potable water and heavy machinery both to Cuba and to nearby Haiti, which was not directly in the storm’s path but suffered flash floods across much of the country’s south.

Clinton goes to Algeria, seeks help in fighting Malian rebels

BY BRADLEY KLAPPER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SIDALI DJARBOUB ASSOCIATED PRESS

Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, right, and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, front left, speak during a news conference following their meeting in Algiers on Monday. Clinton sought Algeria’s assistance for any future military intervention in Mali.

ALGEIRS, Algeria — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought Algeria’s assistance Monday for any future military intervention in Mali, pressing the North African nation to provide intelligence — if not boots on the ground — to help rout the al-Qaidalinked militants across its southern border.

Clinton, on the first stop of a fiveday trip overseas, met with Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika as the United States and its allies ramped up preparations to fight northern Mali’s breakaway Islamist republic.

When Mali’s democratically elected leader was ousted in a military coup in March, Tuareg rebels seized on the power vacuum and within weeks took control of the north, aided by an Islamist faction. The Islamists then quickly

ousted the Tuaregs and took control of half the country.

The U.N. Security Council has unanimously approved the idea of an African-led military force to help the Malian army oust Islamic militants, but its details are still unclear.

One plan would see Mali’s embattled government in the south and its West African neighbors taking the military lead to battle with the militants, with the United States and European countries in support.

Any military intervention would likely require Algeria, whose reforms have headed off the Arab Spring tumult experienced by neighbors such as Libya and Tunisia and left it with the strongest military and best intelligence in the region.

Clinton said she and Bouteflika spoke at length about Mali, with the Algerian lead-

er appearing to caution against any rash action.

“I very much appreciated the president’s analysis based on his long experience as to the many complicated factors that have to be addressed to deal with the internal insecurity in Mali and the terrorist and drug trafficking threat that is posed to the region and beyond,” Clinton told reporters.

She said they agreed to continue discussions with the U.N. and African nations “to determine the most effective approaches that we should be taking.”

Washington is keen to eliminate northern Mali as a haven for al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, which may have been involved in September’s attack on the U.S. Consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi. Mali even came up in the U.S. election campaign, with Republican challenger Mitt Romney citing the African nation’s instability in

a foreign policy debate with President Barack Obama.

As further evidence of the U.S. intensifying its diplomatic work in Mali, Maria Otero, an undersecretary of state for civilian security, democracy and human rights, was to travel to Mali on Monday. She is the highest-ranking Obama administration official to visit since the coup. She’ll meet with Mali’s prime minister, human rights activists and internal refugees.

The 15-nation West African regional bloc, the Economic Community of West African States has discussed sending 3,000 troops to help oust the Islamist militants from the north. Many, though, question how Mali’s weak military could take the lead on such an intervention and analysts believe more ECOWAS soldiers would be needed to take and hold the France-sized desert area now controlled by the militants.

Basil Thai serves up authentic Thai cuisine

Pad Thai boasted as the eatery’s most popular October entree

BY LYANNE ALFARO STAFF WRITER

When a frequent customer walks through her restaurant’s door, Rachawan Tantharatn almost always knows exactly what to tell her cooks to prepare.

In five to 10 minutes, the Thai cook in the kitchen prepares a dish ranging from October’s most popular, Pad Thai, to the Egg Noodle Soup. She said this relationship with her customers is her favorite part of her job.

Tantharatn, owner of Basil Thai at 701 South Gregory Suite B, has worked in the Thai restaurant business for 12 years.

In 2000, she opened Basil Thai on Green Street.

“There was Chinese cuisine on campus,” Tantharatn said.

“But there was no Thai.”

When limited parking on a main street became an issue for some of her customers, she expanded to the eatery’s second location in Urbana in 2004 and has been there since. In 2008, she sold her first location to another local Thai restaurant, Bangkok Thai.

“It’s hard to be living in the city and your friend calls you and says, ‘Hey, I’m at the bar across the street,’ and you have to say that you’re staying in to work on putting pictures up,” Spencer said. “But in the end, what do you really miss from one night out?”

In addition to the time commitment, both Kim and Spencer said they missed the guarantee of a payday.

“I remember that first Friday that I didn’t get a paycheck,” Spencer said. “But it’s just something that you have to risk. You have to trust yourself.”

In addition to their push on social networking, Spencer and Kim have decided to start marketing their merchandise on college campuses and have started visiting sororities on campus-

es such as Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.

Bianca Roby, senior in LAS, saw some of the Cuvvet.com pieces when Spencer and Kim showed them at her sorority house.

“The pieces were very unique,” Roby said after purchasing a cross bracelet from the showing.

“It’s good quality to it and it’s different. It has a very urban feel to it.”

TECHNOGRAPH

UI students should support textbook resellers to lower costs BRIAN YU Technograph columnist

T

he Internet has always been a haven for bargain hunters, providing cut-rate costs on most consumer products compared to major storebased retailers. The Internet has always been able to sell items at lower prices, in part, due to its ability to find the cheapest source for an item across the world, rather than being restricted to one supplier.

This has especially been a boon to us as college students, since we are forced to buy expensive textbooks that can cost up to several hundred dollars when purchased through our university bookstores. But through the Internet, you can save even up to 75 percent on required textbooks.

However, depending on a Supreme Court ruling, online retailers, like eBay, may be restricted in their ability to look for cheaper products abroad.

On Monday, the Supreme Court heard the opening arguments from the lawyers representing their clients in the international copyright case Kirtsaeng vs. Wiley. Textbook publisher John Wiley and Sons Inc. is suing Supap Kirtsaeng, a graduate student in mathematics at the University of South California, for selling international copies of textbooks in the United States through

online reseller eBay. Kirtsaeng funded his graduate education in the States by having his relatives in Thailand purchase international versions of American textbooks, which he then sold for a profit in America.

In total, he sold over $900,000 worth of textbooks, gaining over $100,000 in profit.

This is not the first time a similar case has appeared before the Supreme Court.

In 2010, Costco clashed with Swiss watchmaker Omega in a similar dispute, which left the Supreme Court in a 4-4 deadlock. The first-sale legal doctrine states that a product that has been copyrighted in America can be sold by the owner without the copyright owner’s approval. This law has not only allowed for millions of Americans to make some extra cash by selling their old belongings, but has much more far reaching implications. Without it, libraries and other renting and loaning services would come under fire from manufactures and publishers.

In 1998, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the doctrine applied to American goods sold overseas, which means people could bring those products back into the United States and sell them.

But since the international versions of the textbooks are manufactured overseas, the New York based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that first-sale did not apply and awarded Wiley $600,000 in damages.

The movie and music industry and major publishers back

this decision, citing how allowing Kirtsaeng’s actions would adversely affect their business in the states. However, I feel these industries have lost some of their credibility after some of their more ludicrous lawsuits involving their copyrights; in 2005, the Recording Industry of Association of America sued a recently deceased woman for downloading over 800 songs illegally.

A large reason why American versions of textbooks cost so much more than their international counterparts is the high cost of the patent and copyright process here in the United States. This is only further supported and propagated by manufacturers constantly seeking copyright-related lawsuits.

Conversely, Kirtsaeng is backed by retail giants, such as Costco and eBay, who offer similarly internationally acquired or “gray-market” products. Also joining them are museums and art galleries who are afraid an adverse ruling would affect their ability to showcase the work of international artists.

It is in our best interests, as college students, to support a favorable decision for Kirtsaeng, as the cost of higher education rises, we need to protect what little savings we can afford.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the case by the summer of 2013.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Election

BY ADLAI STEVENSON STAFF WRITER

O

ver the last year, the presidential election of 2012 has been gradually building up from extensive political campaigning and international hotbutton issues. Now, with early votes already submitted and the official November date looming, the election is a reality.

The rise of social media in recent years has created new forums for people to receive and to react to news in ways that are unique to any other election when technology was less accessible and pervasive.

The areas for spotlight and debate have grown tremendously, and its prevalence is almost addictive for many citizens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A key theme to newer media, such as YouTube or comment pages on websites, is that it gives a voice to people whose opinions were originally limited in their reach,â&#x20AC;? said David Tewksbury, associate professor in political science and head of the department of communication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, it is uniform for those voices to fl ow more with the information than to just receive it.â&#x20AC;?

This interest in the political process can move beyond crowds gathering in television lounges to watch important events for the election. Twitter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which reported 10.3 million tweets about the fi rst presidential debate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and other websites, have the ability to spread across other mediums to reach a larger audience. Many of the largest media companies have adapted to fit new consumer demands.

Despite these advances, Tewksbury said the innovations of social media can be attributed to past media environments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In older systems, there were fewer networks within mediums and they were similar in centralized content,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as networks grew, there was a strong market incentive for outlets to break their audiences down into smaller chunks.â&#x20AC;?

The spread of media content may be responsible for the polarization of political opinion, which can account for the wide spectrum of discourse among Americans.

From the many sources of information, users seek out which outlet fits their political interests and views.

According to Tewksbury, the primary media source that people refer to is also the one they most likely agree with and as a result will solidify their political perspectives.

This can be seen in social media as well from the diverse political opinions among users.

Its accessibility makes these perspectives readily available. However, this wide variety of content might turn users away from a centralized focus to lean more left or right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get a sense of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right or wrong without (the content) feeling tainted or suggested in a particular way,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Brown , freshman in DGS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can gain lots of information online, but they are generally opinions that give enough reason to remain skeptical.â&#x20AC;?

As news is circulated from a digital format, it is possible for the information to be fi ltered to

avoid confusing opinion for fact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can go online and see something a friend posted, like a debate on a quote from Romney or Obama, and the quoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different than when you heard it,â&#x20AC;? says Ben Chansky, freshman in Engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to know what to trust.â&#x20AC;?

However, Tewksbury is neutral on the issue of bias among the users of social media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Primarily, I think it is important that people can become informed from the great bits of information that will pop up on their feed or wall of interest. If that makes them more aware of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in the world around them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; great,â&#x20AC;? Tewksbury said.

Social media offers an opportunity for anyone to interact with the larger world. Despite the consequences of these innovations, the media stream is now much more fluid and bottom-up than ever before.

University alumnae found accessories website Cuvvet.com Entrepreneurship takes time, sacrifice and trust, say the enterprising alums

BY KELLY CHUIPEK STAFF WRITER

While attending the University, Jane Kim and Theresa Spencer, alumnae from the class of 2010, never saw themselves one day starting their own business. But after working 9-to-5 cubicle jobs, both Kim and Spencer were dissatisfied with the repetitiveness of their post-grad careers.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to do something on our own, run our own business,â&#x20AC;? Kim said.

After a conversation over dinner discussing their frustrations with their professions, they decided to take a chance and leave their jobs to start their own business.

That decision led the friends to start the accessories web-

JOIN US TOMORROW

FOR AN IN-STORE HALLOWEEN PARTY!

site Cuvvet.com. The site offers â&#x20AC;&#x153;unique statement piecesâ&#x20AC;? that can dress up jeans and a tee or a favorite cocktail dress.

The website targets young, female professionals and prides itself on fi nding jewelry that can be versatile and can go from the office to a night on the town. Right now, the site has just womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accessories, but Kim and Spencer are looking to expand into menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accessories soon.

Kim, who had a great interest in fashion, teamed up with

Happy

Halloween

Spencer, who mostly handles the business side of the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much experience,â&#x20AC;? Spencer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we were really driven and just learned as we went.â&#x20AC;?

Since starting the business in June, the partners said they have done everything on their own to minimize their costs. From designing and maintaining the website to photographing their products to selecting products from boutiques overseas, they are involved in each and every step of running the business.

Beginning an online business can be difficult as far as getting the word out, Kim said. To expand their audience, Kim and Spencer started to use social media websites like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. They also used their friends as a network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just really took off after that,â&#x20AC;? Spencer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are international now. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shipping over to places like Australia and England. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty cool.â&#x20AC;?

While the two entrepreneurs have the option of working from

home in their pajamas, this does not mean they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work hard.

They each put in about 12 hours each day to maintain the success of the rising business. ButKim said their new business is less like a typical job and is more rewarding than doing work they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy.

The most difficult aspect of starting their own business is having to make sacrifices. Running a business takes away time that would otherwise be spent

Soccer prepares for Big Ten battle Illini gear up for tournament quarterfinals

BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER

DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO

Illinois' Jannelle Flaws (11) and Shayla Mutz (10) celebrate during the NCAA tournament against Notre Dame at the Illinois Soccer Stadium on Nov. 13. The Illini will play in the Big Ten tournament on Wednesday.

NO. 1 PENN STATE The Nittany Lions sit first in the Big Ten with an undefeated Big Ten record of 10-0-1.

Penn State is led by senior midfielder Christine Nairn with 13 goals, junior forward Maya Hayes with 12 goals and freshman standout Mallory Weber with 11 goals this season. The Nittany

Lions swept the Illini 4-0 earlier this year.

Illinois defeated Penn State in overtime during the Big Ten Championship game last year to claim the title. The Nittany Lions will face eighth-seeded Iowa on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. Indianapolis time.

Tiffany Cameron, who has 18 goals and five assists this season. Last year, Ohio State lost in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament to Illinois 4-2 in penalty kicks. The Buckeyes will face No. 7-seeded Nebraska at 4:30 p.m. local time on Wednesday.

NO. 3 MICHIGAN The Wolverines started off the conference season strong with three consecutive wins. The Wolverines were sitting second in the Big Ten until they suffered two losses at the end of the season. The final conference game ended in a defeat for Michigan against Illinois in overtime (3-2). This loss dropped the Wolverines to third

The Illini woke up at 7 a.m. Monday morning and met inside their locker room in preparation for what they will experience Wednesday. Illinois will begin play in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals on Halloween morning against No. 4-seeded Minnesota. When the two teams met this year, the Golden Gophers swept the Illini 3-0. With two key players out because of injuries during that match, Illinois head coach Janet Rayfield said Wednesday’s game in Bloomington, Ind., will be a battle to the finish.

“Certainly against Minnesota in our first game of the weekend, we were without Shayla Mutz, who has really been sort of the heart and soul,” Rayfield said. “Getting her back on the field the last couple of weeks has certainly made a difference.”

Last year, Illinois was awarded the title of 2011 Big Ten Champions after defeating Penn State 2-1 in an overtime battle. The Illini’s 2012 season started off with two vital components missing. Rayfield, along with junior standout Vanessa DiBernardo, were in Japan for the first seven games of the season.

The pair was part of the under-20 U.S. women’s national team, which was awarded the World Cup title.

After a season filled with ups and downs, the Illini finished off the conference season with two multigoal wins against Nebraska and Michigan.

Illinois found itself in a similar position from earlier this season in the match against Michigan, needing to rally from behind in order to win the game, but this time came away successful.

The experience from the upperclassmen that participated in the Big Ten Tournament last season will be vital to Illinois’ success.

“Having players who have been in that and had that tournament experience certainly carries over,” Rayfield said. “One of the reasons I fought really hard to get the Big Ten Tournament back, and last year was the first year we’ve had it in a long time, is because that tournament experience is invaluable.”

NO. 4 MINNESOTA

NO. 2 OHIO STATE The Buckeyes sit second in the conference having only suffered two conference losses, one against Illinois (1-0). The other loss was against No. 1 seed Penn State (3-0). The Buckeyes ended the regular season on a huge multigoal win against Indiana (5-0), making it their sixth consecutive victory. Ohio State is led by senior forward

NO. 5 ILLINOIS

in the conference (7-2-2). Michigan is led by junior Nkem Ezurike, who has recorded 11 goals and one assist on the season. The Wolverines did not qualify for the Big Ten Tournament last season. The kickoff for Michigan will be begin at 7:30 p.m. local time on Wednesday against Wisconsin.

The Golden Gophers ended their conference season fourth in the Big Ten (6-4-1). This is one place better than the previous season, when Minnesota finished fifth.

Illinois faced the Golden Gophers in the middle of the season and

defeated them 3-0. The two teams will meet again Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. to start the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals.

NO. 6 WISCONSIN The Badgers had four consecutive conference wins at the end of their season, including one against Illinois in a doubleovertime battle (2-1). However, the Badgers ended their regular season with a loss to Iowa (2-

1) placing them sixth in the Big Ten. Wisconsin is led by sophomore forward Cara Walls, who has recorded 10 goals (ninth in the Big Ten) this season and one assist.

NO. 7 NEBRASKA The Cornhuskers have qualified for the Big Ten Tournament for the first time.

Nebraska was included with the Big Ten last year, but it did not qualify for the tournament, although the team ended both

seasons with the same conference record (4-7). The Cornhuskers are led by sophomore forward Mayme Conroy, who has recorded 14 goals this season.

NO. 8 IOWA If the Hawkeyes (3-53) defeat Penn State in the quarterfinal game of the Big Ten Tournament, it will be its first postseason victory in program history and would also tie the program’s mark for most wins in

a season at 13.

This will be the third time Iowa has matched up against the Nittany Lions in the first round of the tournament, losing both times.

Legendary Red Grange returns to Memorial Stadium for one night EMILY BAYCI Sports columnist

It

was midnight on Halloween eve, and Memorial Stadium was still. The players had meandered home, the coaches had gone to rest and the janitors had cleansed the arena. All that could be heard was the whispering of the wind and the distant humming of cars whirring down First Street. The sky was black, the field barely visible to even those with the keenest eye. But it didn’t matter, for there was nothing to see.

Or so I thought.

There was a rustle in the distance that sounded like the soft crumbling of leaves. And then a small crack and an even louder POP. I shuffled down the stadium stairs and then to the west, trying to find the source of the disturbance. When I got to the gate, there was nothing to see. It was then that I realized, “Wait ... There was nothing to see.”

The 12-foot statue of that famous football player was gone. “What was his name again? Oh yes, Harold ‘Red’ Grange.” I’ve heard people talk about him with reverence and awe, dubbing him “one of the greatest athletes who ever lived,” or the “man who defined football in the early 1900s.”

The statue had been there since November 2009, not nearly long enough to need a cleaning but just long enough that it was there to stay.

Then back toward the field I heard another distant sound.

The slight thudding along, perhaps of someone catching their footing. I returned to the field, and there he was all alone.

I knew who I thought it was, but it couldn’t be.

I looked closer to see a man all alone who looked out of place but yet he belonged.

Oh, did he belong.

He donned an ancient-looking blue jersey, a brown leather helmet with dangling flaps over the ears and held a tattered brown football, regulation size.

When I saw the No. 77, I confirmed it was him, as that’s one of only two numbers ever retired in Illinois football. But after I looked for a second, I knew there was never a reason to question my theory.

“The Galloping Ghost” was more than a nickname, I realized it had become reality.

He ran the field with strength and poise as this was the most natural occurrence in the world, like he was back home once again.

And yet he was so alone, simply running with the football amidst the still of the night.

Until they came.

I watched them shuffle in from the tunnel, about 20 men dressed just like Grange.

“He’s back, he’s back, he’s back,” they muttered again and again, like zombie soldiers returning to their captain, prepared for war.

Everyone lined up at their

The Ron Zook and Bruce Weber eras ended with both coaches getting fired following late-season collapses. The hiring of Tim Beckman and John Groce, two young coaches from mid-major schools with fiery passions and something to prove, gave Illini fans hope for a new era.

It’s been less than three months, but Beckman has already succeeded in sucking the hope out of the football program, stumbling to a 2-6 record with every loss embarrassing in its own fashion. The most recent defeat, 31-17 to hapless Indiana, may have been the worst.

But the jury is still out on Groce and the men’s basketball team.

The general consensus is that Groce takes over an Illinois team in somewhat of a rebuilding phase. The Illini lost their center and defensive anchor Meyers Leonard to the NBA, probably the best player from a unit that limped to a 17-15 record, a ninth place finish in the Big Ten and missed out on any postseason play.

Leonard’s departure leaves Illinois with just one center,

sophomore Nnanna Egwu, whose game is more suited for scoring outside of the paint.

Sophomore Tracy Abrams is the lone true point guard on the roster, another glaring hole in Groce’s guard-heavy offense with a focus on tempo.

And then there’s the competition level. The Illini will face plenty of nonconference tests — Gonzaga, Missouri and an excellent Maui Invitational field to name a few — before entering Big Ten play against what is undoubtedly the nation’s best conference. With five teams in the preseason top 25, including three in the top five alone, the Big Ten is as tough as it’s been in years, and Groce and his team will experience a wealth of growing pains.

Harold “Red” Grange is one of the most outstanding football players in sports history. He played at Illinois from 1923-25 and was a threetime All-American halfback.

He was the first recipient of the 1924 Chicago Tribune Silver Football Award as the Big Ten’s Most Valuable Player.

Grange helped establish professional football before it was popular. He attracted 36,000 spectators for his professional debut on Thanksgiving Day at Wrigley Field in 1925. Ten days later, 73,000 watched him play at New York’s Polo Grounds. He played professional football for the Chicago Bears from 192534, with a brief stint with the New York Yankees from 192627. respective sides, and they played ball.

Oh, did they play ball.

Excellence was everywhere, but it was Grange I was focused on. The halfback’s hands acted with a magnetic pull as he commanded the ball.

He snaked through the defenders as if they were flies.

I imagined it was like that game that made Grange a legend. It was against Michigan on Oct. 18, 1924, when Grange covered 263 yards and scored four touchdowns in an unreal 12 minutes against a defense that allowed the same number of touchdowns in the past two seasons.

That game is what motivated famous sports reporter Grantland Rice to pen the poetic lines:

“A streak of fire, a breath of flame Eluding all who reach and clutch; A gray ghost thrown into the game That rival hands may never touch; A rubber bounding, blasting soul Whose destination is the goal.”

I wanted to chant, “There goes the Red Head!” as they did back in the day, but my lips wouldn’t open. I wanted to get closer and see more, but my legs were planted to the cold pavement. I couldn’t believe my eyes, but I knew it was real as I went numb with awe.

I watched Grange run 90-some yards for a touchdown. The players cheered as he ran in; Grange let out only a small smile. And with that, he was gone.

The players disappeared along with him. I pinched myself to ensure this was not a dream, then headed back to the front where the statue stood still, as if it was always there and nothing had happened.

I remember what Bob Zuppke, Grange’s coach, said back in the day, “I will never have another Grange but neither will anyone else.”

Well I had him, for 10 minutes at most, and I’m waiting for another Grange.

It will happen one day.

Oh, it will happen.

Writers note: This is an entirely fictional account in observance of Halloween. Red Grange passed away in 1991, when I was not even 1 year old. If I could go back in Illinois sports history, I would watch the “Galloping Ghost” play football. I’m patiently waiting for a legend similar to Red Grange to pass through Memorial Stadium. Until then, there’s this.

Long road of rebuilding ahead for Groce Illinois’ return to the top possible, but not this upcoming

PRITEN VORA THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois head coach John Groce looks on during the game against the Lewis Flyers on Saturday at Assembly Hall. The Illini won 79-47.

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1B rick Chambers was in a similar position as Groce at this time last year, entering his first season with the Nittany Lions after spending time as an assistant coach at Villanova and a head coach for two years at Boston University. Like Groce, Chambers’ teams at Boston loved to run. But transitioning to the Big Ten, Chambers found that those opportunities came much fewer and far between.

“They don’t turn the ball over a lot,” he said at Big Ten Media Day on Thursday. “So you’re not getting any easy runouts, many easy baskets. So that was challenging because you really gotta run good sets, gotta be crisp in everything we do because you’re always in a half-court offense instead of getting up and down.”

But Groce isn’t taking over a roster without talented pieces.

Yes, Weber missed out on the Derrick Roses’ and Anthony Davis’ of the world, but he did not leave the cupboard completely barren. Both the sophomore and the senior recruiting classes were well received nationally, with multiple top-100 players in each class. Five seniors — led by four-year starters Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson — provide

veteran experience.

By the end of last season, Weber was no longer able to reach many of those players and the team stopped responding to his coaching style. To have any chance of success, Groce will have to get those same players to buy into his system and his style.

According to the other Big Ten coaches at Thursday’s media day, who had nothing but positive words for Groce, the new Illini coach has the tools for making that happen. Thad Matta, whom Groce coached under at Ohio State for four seasons from 2005-08, sang his former colleague’s praises for much of the day.

“John’s prepared,” Matta said.

“And he’s prepared himself from day one when he started coaching for this opportunity.

John is a very, very hard worker. He’s a very intelligent guy.

And he gets it. He understands the climate of college basketball, and I think that’s what’s gotta happen.”

The most important lesson Matta, who has built a basketball powerhouse at a historically football-centered school, imparted to Groce was the importance of developing great relationships with his players.

“Obviously, you learn a lot of different things, like strategi-

cally. Basketball-wise, he’s a really good coach,” Groce said.

“But I think just the biggest thing is just how that piece of having great relationships with your players.”

This process is apparent in Groce’s early actions as Illinois’ coach. In interviews and press conferences, Groce’s intensity is apparent. Anyone who has seem him maniacally pacing the sidelines during games, crouching in a defensive stance and reacting to calls, cannot doubt his passion for the game. And in the early going, the players seem to enjoy Groce’s freer, more uptempo offensive style.

But even in a best-case scenario where players completely buy in, this Illinois team has a hard ceiling on how successful it can be. The talent and culture in place at this season’s elite tier of Big Ten programs — Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State — dwarfs anything Illinois can assemble in one year with Groce at the helm.

Brandon Paul is not Trey Burke. Nnanna Egwu is not Cody Zeller. Myke Henry is not DeShaun Thomas. Nor are any of them really close.

So while it is reasonable for the Illini nation to hope for better than the ninth-place conference finish of a season ago, wishing for a whole lot more

is unrealistic. If all goes well, sixth or seventh in the Big Ten might be in the cards. Maybe a second or third round NCAA tournament exit.

And although that may not be the immediate return to prominence Illinois fans desperately want, rebuilding a program is a lengthy process.

“You gotta get some breaks, you gotta stay injury free and eventually it works,” said Michigan head coach John Beilein, who has returned the Wolverines to national prominence in his sixth season. “Create the right culture, continue to recruit, have the administration to support you, and it can get done. But like I said, the competition is fierce to try to get there.

You can get to the top six or seven (in the Big Ten) if you’re trying to turn a program around, if it’s Illinois or whatever. That gets you to the NCAA tournament today in this league. And if you get there, then everything starts to change.”

Illinois’ return to the top won’t happen this year. It might not be the next. But sometime in the near future, Groce will have the Illini back in the mix as one of the nation’s elite programs.

Illini try to right penalty problems before Buckeyes

BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER

Illinois football head coach Tim Beckman didn’t find any surprises Sunday when he watched the tape of his team’s 31-17 loss to Indiana. Penalties and turnovers hampered any chance the Illini had of breaking a Big Ten losing streak more than a year in length.

“We were our own worst enemy,” Beckman said in his news conference Monday. “Costly penalties kept drives alive, turnovers that led to points. It was not an effort thing.”

Two personal foul penalties cost the Illini a combined 30 yards. Cornerback Terry Hawthorne was penalized for a late hit out of bounds in the first quarter, and defensive end Justin Staples was flagged for the same penalty after a play in which the Illini sacked Indiana quarterback Nate Sudfeld.

Beckman said penalized players were forced to run in practice Sunday night. He also said his team had penalty problems in his first two years as Toledo’s head coach, and the best way to get the message across is to make his players run.

Braxton Miller looms Riding a five-game losing streak, the Illini now head to Columbus, Ohio, to face a team that hasn’t lost all season. Ohio State comes into the game ranked No. 6 in the AP Top 25 after starting this year 9-0 (5-0 Big Ten).

The Buckeyes offense is headlined by dual-threat quarterback Braxton Miller, who has run and passed for more than 1,000 yards.

Beckman had a chance to watch Miller when he was at Wayne High School in Huber Heights, Ohio. He said he knew

Miller was special from the beginning.

“You knew he was going to be an outstanding football player,” he said. “We’re going to need to know what Braxton is doing at all times, he’s very important to their offense.”

Last year, Miller recorded one completion against Illinois on four passing attempts, although that pass did go for a touchdown.

He ran for only 34 yards in a 17-7 win at Memorial Stadium.

“When you look at him as a quarterback, he’s gotten a lot better throwing the ball downfield,” Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase said. “Obviously running the ball, he’s one of the most dangerous guys in the country.”

Illinois defensive tackle Akeem Spence thinks Miller is better than his predecessor, Terelle Pryor. Spence said Miller’s ability to make guys miss in the open field is what separates him from the bigger Pryor. Knowing what Miller is going to do when he has the ball in his hands will be key for Illinois.

“Sometimes he’s supposed to give it, and he pulls it,” Spence said. “At times, you think he’s going to run it, and he ends up throwing it out of the backfield.

The guys who are assigned to him are going to have to do a great job of getting him on the ground.”

Familiar feel Beckman is used to the sidelines at Ohio Stadium. He was the cornerbacks coach at Ohio State for two seasons in 2005 and 2006.

His Toledo Rockets also played there last year, a game which they narrowly lost 27-22.

Beckman, who is from Ohio, also coached under Buckeyes first-year head coach Urban Mey-

“Urban is considered one of my close friends,” Beckman said. “We’re very competitive, and it’s one of those things of the

uniqueness of college football, you can have two friends competing against one another.”

When Meyer left Bowling Green to take the head coaching job at Utah following the 2002

season, Beckman stayed behind as the defensive coordinator for two more seasons. Beckman said he talked to Meyer often last year when Meyer spent a year away from coaching but the

two haven’t talked much since becoming Big Ten head coaches.

ILLINI DRIVE

Illini Drive explores volleyball losses to Minnesota, Wisconsin Editor’s note: The following is a partial transcript from an Illini Drive interview with Illinois volleyball head coach Kevin Hambly and senior Jackie Wolfe.

Illini Drive: Another tough weekend, 0-2, going up to Minnesota and Wisconsin. I guess, what happened?

glimpses of us where we played really well for a longer period of time. Second set I thought went really well until the end. But we just need to focus hard and competing for longer periods of time.

Jackie Wolfe: I’ll start with

ID: Now the Wisconsin match was a back-and-forth affair at setter. It was Annie (Luhrsen) and Lex (Alexis Viliunas), and Annie and Lex. And then Annie got the start on (Sunday).

So where do you stand in this battle right now?

Wisconsin. I thought we had times we didn’t compete as hard as we could. There was times that we did, and then there were times we didn’t. And obviously we lost. And (Sunday) at Minnesota, there were

Kevin Hambly: It’s just we’re going to do what it takes to win. They both have proven they can play at a high level. Lex came in, we won the first set, but she didn’t set particularly well. In fact at the end, we were really struggling to get any kind of offense going.

And I put Annie in real early in the second set because it wasn’t going well early. Annie did a good job. But we lost (the set). So we decided, “Hey, we’ll go back with Lex.” And we came close, we probably should’ve won that set.

Then it wasn’t going well in the

fourth and we put in Annie in. And we thought we really played well with Annie after that.

ID: How tough are these decisions to make with the setter and your outsides?

KH: They’re all tough. But

they’re educated. We’re looking at how they’re playing, we’re not just randomly doing things. We talk about it before the match.

And if certain things happen, we make those changes.

ID: Jackie, how does that affect the

team rhythm-wise with different rotations coming in?

JW: I think everybody is ready

»

to go in, and I think everybody works hard and is ready to go in and try to bring a spark. I think Morganne (Criswell) does a great job when she goes in and gets a kill. She gets things going, she celebrates and gets everyone in a good mood. Everyone is ready, and everyone can benefit the team when they go in.
