Settlement reached over Chief Illiniwek

UI agrees to end 5-year battle on trademark rights DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

The University Board of Trustees and the Honor the Chief Society, Inc. have come to a settlement agreement, ending a five-year dispute over the Chief Illiniwek trademark. In 2009, the Honor the Chief Society fi led an application to register the trademark Chief Illiniwek in connection with dance and educational services, as well as community festivals, including sporting events. The University filed in opposition to this application. After the new agreement is finalized, Honor the Chief must abandon its first application and agree not to fi ll out any other trademark applications consisting of the term Chief Illiniwek. According to the new agreement, the University cannot object to the term “Chief” in “Honor the Chief Society.” The University also cannot object, but does not approve, sponsor or endorse, the Society’s events that honor the history of Chief Illiniwek or the Society advocating the reinstatement of Chief Illiniwek as the official symbol of the University. The events can include a performance that is a choreographed tribute to the dance

that was performed by previous chiefs, as long as the events comply with the terms of the agreement and University policies. The Society will not be allowed to use the term “Chief Illiniwek” or the Chief logo. The Society also cannot refer to people as Chief Illiniwek or say they are the next Chief Illiniwek. Finally, the Society must include this disclaimer on its website: “The Honor the Chief Society is not sponsored, licensed, approved or endorsed by the University of Illinois.” Roger Huddleston, member of the Honor the Chief Society, said he is very satisfied with the agreement. “Basically, we have to make it known that all of our actions are not supported by the University of Illinois,” Huddleston said. “It gives us a right to promote the Chief’s traditions.” The agreement was signed by Huddleston on Oct. 14 and by University Board of Trustees Comptroller Walter Knorr on Oct. 23. “We are happy that our trademark and our logo are being protected,” Robin Kaler, campus spokeswoman said. The Board of Trustees announced in February 2007 that Chief Illiniwek would no longer be a symbol of the University or perform at University events, according to the Honor the Chief Society’s website.

New 3-D printing class offered

MakerLab provides open printing for all BY JULIANNE MICOLETA STAFF WRITER

Next spring, the College of Business is offering a new 3-D printing class to 21 students from the colleges of Engineering, FAA and Business. “Because 3-D printing is going to be bigger than the Internet,” said Aric Rindfleisch, executive director of the Illinois MakerLab and Business professor. “It’s the next big thing that’s going to change the world as we know it.” 3 -D pri nters are manufacturing tools that create physical objects from digital designs by layering materials to construct a three-dimensional product. Due to their additive approach, they can produce complex designs that are difficult to manufacture using conventional techniques. They can be used to make a variety of objects ranging from toys to household devices. Commercial 3-D printers are commonly used for design and prototyping in a variety of industries, including aerospace, architecture and automobiles, and are employed in the dental and medical fields as well, Rindfleisch said. Currently, the use of 3-D printing is on the rise. It has been

Increased rental registration fees resolve home inspection inefficiency BY ELI MURRAY STAFF WRITER

Urbana City Council voted 6-1 to increase the rental registration fees to bring in an estimated additional $48,500 annually for the city. The vote took place on Oct. 21 and will allow the city to hire a third housing inspector. The rates for single-family homes, duplexes and multifamily homes are $55, $70 and $65 per building, respectively. Additionally, multi-family homes must pay an extra $16 per unit. Previously, single-family homes, duplexes and multi-family homes were charged $50, $60 and $45 per building, respectively. The previous additional fee for multifamily homes was $12 per unit. Libby Tyler, the Community Development Services director for the city, said there were nearly 800 houses and duplexes that haven’t been inspected since the inspection program was put into effect six years ago.

“Something’s going to have to change,” said Bill Brown, Ward 4, noting that the inspections weren’t being completed in “any reasonable cycle.” A memo from staff at the Department of Community Development Services recommends the ordinance in order to “add capacity to the housing program so that the inspectors can better meet the demands of the program and provide for a more acceptable cycle of systematic inspection.” Currently, Urbana employs two full-time housing inspectors who systematically review the 8,900 rental properties in Urbana, respond to tenant complaints and inspect motel and hotel properties. Eric Jakobsson, Ward 2, said he had mixed feelings about the fee schedule. “I really hate the idea of ramping up the fees on good landlords for problems that are necessitated by the bad landlords,” he said. Mike Madigan, Ward 6, was

the only council member to vote against the ordinance. “What we’re talking about here is increasing fees on the good landlords, not just on the distressed properties,” he said. “We’re talking about raising everyone’s rent. Don’t ... be under the illusion that (these fees) will not be passed on (to residents), because (they) will.” Under Jakobbson’s proposal, a motion was passed 4-3 to have city staff conduct a study as to the feasibility of lowering rental registration fees for landlords who receive high marks on their inspections, therefore not costing the city as much for continued inspections. Esther Patt, director of the Champaign-Urbana Tenant Union, said she didn’t think a graduated fee would effectively address the issue. “If you looked at (the grading list) ... you would see that more than four out of five buildings are graded B,” she said. “If

MAINTENANCE Currently, deferred maintenance is addressed using a multitude of funds. The primary fund for deferred maintenance is the Academic Facilities Maintenance Fund Assessment, a student fee that draws about $20 million per year, according to the report. However, bringing the index down from 16 to 10 percent is estimated to cost $213 million. The University has been making great strides in addressing deferred maintenance. So far, since the Deferred Maintenance Program’s founding in 2007, about $275 million worth of projects have been funded, said Steve Breitwieser, media communication specialist for facilities and services. There are also a number of initiatives working toward addressing deferred maintenance, including Chancellor Phyllis Wise and Provost Ilesanmi Adesida’s recently announced a $70 million initiative to upgrade classrooms across campus. However, there are still many other features of campus, such as laboratories, faculty offices, lounges and meeting rooms, that need to be modernized. McCall said he thinks that the Task Force on Faculty Issues and Concerns needs to work with the administration to come up with a serious plan to address deferred maintenance in the long term. “We need to identify continuing streams of funds to reduce the deferred maintenance backlog and prevent it from growing again,� he said. “It’s the kind of subtle issue that lurks in the shadows that nobody seems to pay attention to but it’s such a critical thing.�

Initially launched in August, the University’s LinkedIn page already boasts more than 200,000 followers as of press time, dozens of statistics regarding alumni careers and a multitude of posts from graduates and employers. The University was one of 200 schools selected by LinkedIn to be part of a beta test group and help start-up its University pages, which are aimed at providing information on these various colleges, said Allison Vance, editorial associate for Public Affairs. “This seemed like a really great opportunity to bring all the people who are interested in Illinois on LinkedIn into one central page,� Vance said. She said that one of the goals for the University’s LinkedIn page is to connect alumni with what is currently happening on campus. “Being part of the Public Affairs office at Illinois, we always want to be telling the Illinois story,� Vance said. “There are so many amazing

Meetings with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions have begun to determine how to effectively reach this younger audience. Vance said the project began on Aug. 19 and, within the beta test group, there is a private forum that allows the University to communicate with LinkedIn and collaborate with other colleges and universities to see what has worked well for them regarding their pages. “LinkedIn has been very helpful,� Vance said. Recently, to accommodate the University’s LinkedIn page, Chancellor Phyllis Wise was approached to become a LinkedIn Influencer and further promote the University. “Really, the only reason I’m even being asked to step into this role is because of the hard work of the entire Illinois family,� wrote Chancellor Phyllis Wise in one of her blogs titled

things going on at the University. We have amazing students, we’re super innovative, have amazing research, fantastic jobs and internships.� The University has one of the largest bases of living alumni in the country with more than 425,000, Vance said. Part of the goal of the LinkedIn page is to connect these alumni and recent graduates with jobs. The LinkedIn page has a variety of statistics of what alumni study, what field they currently work in and what company they work for. There are also posts beneath the statistics that allow businesses to share job openings and hire alumni. Morgan Scheelhaase, editorial associate at Public Affairs, said they are still working towards using the page as an outlet for recruiting alumni. “We are still in the beginning steps of launching the University page,� she said. “We’re definitely learning more about it so that we can grow and do that really well.� Vance also said LinkedIn recently lowered the age at which people can create a

to be at the forefront of this economic revolution.� The MakerLab that recently moved to the Business Instructional Facility early this month is the world’s first business school-based 3-D Printing Lab, according to Director Vishal Sachdev. The lab is equipped with 12 MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3-D Printers, 3-D design software and two 3-D scanning devices. “The idea of the MakerLab is to make 3-D printers accessible to students and faculty,� Sachdev said. “There are other 3-D printers around campus, but the ones that we have here are less expensive and much more lowtech and with some orientation, you can start printing stuff yourself.� The process is relatively simple; the only complications can arise from using the modeling software. However, there are “Lab Gurus,� students in Engineering, marketing and design who are experts in 3-D printing, available in the lab to help students out. “I’m in here to help people out with the printers, scanners or the software TinkerCad,� said junior in LAS Ryan Hurley. “We also offer open tutorials, open house or open printing sessions. We offer a lot of different orientation; however, the idea of the lab is for it to be self-sufficient.� Prints are priced by weight at five cents per gram for students, 10 cents for faculty departments and 15 cents for all other users. “Everybody comes in here,� Hurley said. “We get architecture students that come in to make models, art and design students that come in here to be creative, faculty members and even people with their 9-year-old son.� Though the 3-D printers in the MakerLab only create objects using a type of thermoplastic, commercial 3-D printers can make objects from a wider variety of materials, including wood, glass and metal. “This course is going to be giving students a chance for some hands-on experimental learning with digital manufacturing,� Rindfleisch said. “A lot of big companies like Boeing are trying to experiment with this technology, and there’s a strong corporate interest in this. This will give students the chance to be a part of this new movement — to be a part of the future.�

Illinois mayors call for immigration reform to help economy BY NYAJAI ELLISON STAFF WRITER

Editor’s note: The name of an illegal immigrant was changed in this story to protect his identity. As cities in Illinois still recover from the loss of tax revenue caused by the recession, a group of Illinois mayors coordinated with each other to sign a letter to members of the Illinois Congressional Delegation asking them to support immigration reform. It was sent to the delegation on Oct. 23. The mayors, including Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing and Champaign Mayor Don Gerard, said that granting citizenship for 11 million immigrants would add $1.5 trillion to our economy over the next ten years. “We cannot hope to achieve the growth necessary to repair the damage done by the recession without bringing eleven million people out of the shadows and fully integrated into our

issue of treating people fairly.� Graduate student Jie Ding, who is originally from China, agreed. “We are equal right?� Ding said. “No matter what kind of background you are from, what kind of race you are, people should be equal and they should be acknowledged by their hard work instead of their nationality and race.� Gerard said immigration reform is about creating opportunities and unlocking America’s future. “No matter from where a talented individual may come, we should be able to afford them the opportunity to keep their talents here if they so wish,� Gerard said. “Champaign has one of the most dynamic tech and engineering talent pools learning and honing its skills and we have the companies who would love to keep them right here.�

Barbecue restaurant opens over homecoming weekend in new location BY MIKAYLA OSTENDORF CONTRIBUTING WRITER

After five months of building renovations, Q Smokehouse brought its authentic Deep South taste of smoked barbecue to Green Street with its opening Wednesday. Troy Reed, one of the restaurant’s managers, said Q Smokehouse was packed for opening day and sold around 200 meals. Business doubled, if not tripled, last Thursday, Reed said. “(On Friday), we sold ourselves out of product and had to close early. That’s how well we’ve done,� Reed said. Reed expected business on Sunday and Monday to be slower after the rush of homecoming weekend, but customer flow picked up and Reed now expects this week to be as successful or even more successful than the last. Terren L. Gaither, Q Smokehouse employee, said the restaurant did not do any promotional advertising before opening. Instead, the restaurant trained employees and fi xed computer problems during the fi rst week to increase service and product quality, Reed said. Another employee, Maria Gaspar, learned to work the restaurant’s Point of Service system, make a burrito and provide positive customer service, all in one week. Restaurant owner Sean Mahaffey closed Smoke ‘Que and Brew, his previous restaurant once located at 2411 Village Green Place in southwest Champaign, to open a campus location with a different menu, said restaurant manager Steve Sappenfield. “The menu that (Mahaffey)

wanted to serve (is) more conducive to the student population in a quick service environment,� Sappenfield said. The smaller menu features homemade in-house selections, whereas Smoke ‘Que and Brew’s menu contained many shippedin, pre-made items, Reed said. Instead of Smoke ‘Que and Brew’s classic waiter and waitress set up, Q Smokehouse has an order-and-seat-yourself style. Q Smokehouse customers fi ll out an order form, bring it to the register and watch as their food is made, in a similar fashion to the procedure at Jimmy John’s or Chipotle, Reed said. “(Customers) are a lot happier, because they basically get to do what they want to do,� Reed said. “They get to do practically everything but put the food together themselves.� Gaspar said she has already noticed customers coming back. These returning customers seem to enjoy the restaurant and like the sauces offered, Gaspar said. The two-level restaurant, which contains about 97 seats, hasn’t fi lled up yet, but Reed believes this is because many people order food to-go. The restaurant may add more tables if customers start frequently fi lling up the top floor. Q Smokehouse’s menu features pulled pork, beef briskets, pulled chicken, smoked sausage, burnt-end sandwiches and ribs. All meat is smoked and prepared fresh daily, Gaither said. Large-portioned sandwiches range from $5.50 to $7.99, and they come with a corn muffi n, a fried pickle and two toppings of the customer’s choice, according to Reed. Additional toppings are

Homemade sides include barbecue beans and Carolina slaw. Q Smokehouse also features bacon chocolate chip cookies and bourbon apple dream bars, Sappenfield said. Q Smokehouse plans to run daily specials within a few weeks, Sappenfi eld said. The restaurant is considering offering lunch discounts for University staff and students. “We are kind of just waiting to see how things go fi rst,� Sappenfield said. “We want to get

up and open and go from there.� Sappenfield said he looks forward to gaining customers and building customer relationships. “(We have) a very friendly staff, and hopefully that and the high quality food will keep people coming back,� Sappenfield said. Gaspar said that all the employees are getting along so far. She said she enjoys her coworkers and said that it is a positive work environment. On a regular basis, eight work-

ers and two managers work at Q Smokehouse, Reed said. As a front of house manager, he monitors cashiers, food preparation and restaurant appearance. The back of house management supervises meal preparation, Reed said. The restaurant is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Customers can contact Q Smokehouse at 217-344-5849.

Leadership defends National Security Agency’s activity, does not deny phone tapping BY JONATHAN S. LANDAY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Senior U.S. intelligence officials on Tuesday staunchly defended the National Security Agency, all but confi rming that the White House knew about the tapping of foreign leaders’ telephones, denying that millions of European citizens’ telephone data were swept up and asserting that the European allies assist the NSA even as they spy on U.S. officials. “We only do what the policymakers writ large have asked us to do,� Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said at a House Intelligence Committee hearing. The hearing came amid a grow-

ing outcry at home and in Europe over disclosures of some of the NSA’s most secret communications collection programs in documents leaked to news media by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. They included the tapping of telephones of 35 world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The revelations have strained trans-Atlantic relations, prompted lawmakers to introduce legislation in Congress to tighten restrictions on NSA operations and ignited a Senate Intelligence Committee review of all U.S. intelligence-gathering operations. The leaks have created new headaches for President Barack

Obama, who was expected to order a ban on the monitoring of allied leaders’ communications as part of an administration review aimed at balancing U.S. intelligence-gathering programs with privacy and civil liberties protections. The administration also has acknowledged that additional restraints may be required given the power of the technology now used by U.S. intelligence agencies. The White House has cited the secrecy of intelligence operations in steadfastly refusing to answer in public questions about what Obama knew, especially whether he authorized the eavesdropping on Merkel and other leaders. At the same time,

a stream of news media reports have appeared this week in which anonymous administration officials insisted that the president wasn’t aware of the monitoring of Merkel. As they defended the NSA’s operations as legal and authorized, however, Clapper as much as confi rmed that members of Obama’s National Security Council staff knew about the tapping of the telephones of foreign leaders. Responding to what appeared to be closely coordinated questioning from sympathetic House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., Clapper described how the requirements for U.S. intelligence

collections and analyses are set in an annual National Intelligence Priorities Framework. “It’s a fairly rigorous process,� which collates intelligence requirements from State, Defense and other departments “as well as those of the national security staff, and, accordingly, the president’s requirements are embedded in that document,� he explained. Knowing the intentions of foreign leaders, Clapper said, helps U.S. officials understand policies and perspectives that impact the United States. He agreed with Rogers that “the best way� to obtain that information is to “actually get communications of a foreign leader.�

Tip-or-treat: 8 safety tips for the spookiest night of the year

H

alloween: The season of that disgusting candy corn stuff and excuses to be someone you’ll never actually be. But because the day revolves involves pranks and questionable costumes, it’s important to be aware of your surroundings. So, when you’re out and about on Halloween, here are some tips to make sure you have a smooth time.

1. Don’t think everything is just a prank on Halloween Halloween is full of screams, fake blood and pranks you play on your friends. But just because it’s Halloween doesn’t mean everything is a joke. If you see something odd, check it out before you write it off as just another Halloween scare. 2. Dress appropriately for the cold or stormy weather Dressing up as Video Music Awards Miley? Consider your personal comfort and the weather outside as you plan your exploits. Eightinch heels may make or break your costume, but they get pretty painful pretty fast. Additionally, per the National Weather Service, there is a 90 percent chance of rain, 25 mile-per-hour winds and an expected low of 46 degrees for Thursday. It may not fit your costume, but a coat might not be a bad idea. 3. Don’t wear a costume with anything that could be confused as a real weapon There are people everywhere playing pranks that can go wrong. And Halloween is tricky enough for cops. So, it’s even worse when people are carrying around fake

weapons that can be confused for real ones. Don’t get yourself arrested. And don’t think those fake, metallic police badges are fooling anyone, either. 4. If you’re a parent, be careful when you take your child trick-ortreating If you’re a student or professor with a child, you’ll undoubtably want to keep them safe while out trick-ortreating. But for those of you who are new to the University, keep in mind that there will be college students partying on campus and off campus. Make sure you check the area you’ll

be taking your child to trick-or-treat before your child is exposed to hundreds of roaming college students. That, or turn it into a fun learning experience about the horrors of college life. 5. Be aware of what you are drinking Halloween parties, especially on a college campus, will probably include mixed-drinks aimed to be fit for the creepy occasion. Don’t drink something if you’re not sure what is in it. Especially on Halloween when people are drinking in excess, know what is in your cup or don’t

drink out of open containers. 6. Be careful when you’re walking in the dark Sure, this goes for every night, but on Halloween people are in dark costumes and it’s harder to spot them. Be careful when you’re walking down the street because drivers and bikers might not see you. Also, because most people will be in costumes, you might not know who is walking around you. Use the buddy system. 7. Follow the buddy system for the inevitable Halloween parties Ever lost your friends at a party? Costumes strongly amplify that problem, especially when you’ve had a bit too much pumpkin brew. Buddy up with someone and agree on regular points to check-in with each another. Coming up with a hand signal to signal your friend can be helpful for loud parties. Take it from bad horror movies: Splitting up tends to have deleterious consequences. 8. Be careful with your costumes and fire (no really) From Jack O’ Lanterns to candles to cigarettes, there are many fire sources you might encounter during your Halloween romp. More important than remembering what you’re wearing, remember what your costume is made out of. Costumes can present some unique problems if they drape or drag (think: cloaks, wigs, accessories) or are excessively baggy. If possible, buy or wear flame-resistant fabric. Or just don’t wear anything that can easily catch on fire.

Facebook friends, not necessarily future romance MAX FISHER Opinions columnist

It

seems like some data researchers from Facebook are now auditioning for the role of Yenta from “Fiddler on the Roof� for over 1 billion people that subscribe to this very popular social networking site. Now, before you start singing “Matchmaker,� you might want to know how these data scientists are determining your love interests for you. One of the first methods that data researchers use to determine that special someone is called “embeddedness.� In terms of this study, embeddedness refers to looking at how many mutual friends you have with another person. This method is used to determine the degree of closeness between two people based on the number of their mutual friends. Well, I can tell you from

personal experience that the person I have the most mutual friends with is not my lover. And although 24.7 percent of the time embeddedness predicted an individual’s significant other, there’s a larger portion of people that this method did not work for. To start, there is a major issue with this method that I am surprised the researchers did not discuss. What happens when the person who you share the most mutual friends with is your best friend? For some, it may develop into a long and loving marriage, but others may realize that they should have just stayed friends. That could end up as a pretty rocky friendship. If popular media and personal observations serve me right, then dating your best friend is practically a crapshoot. However, there was one method that was far more successful than embededdness called “dispersion.� This method relies on you and your pre-

dicted “lover� having a high amount of mutual friends in the same networks. In other words, this method looks at mutual friends who went to the same high school, university or work at the same company as you. This method makes a little more sense. Instead of just using mutual friends from your high school that you may have attended five or six years ago to determine your match, now they are comparing the number of mutual friends that continue through college and your career. These data researchers seem to be piecing together your romantic timeline straight from your Facebook timeline, so to speak. What differentiates dispersion from embeddedness is embeddedness just looks collectively at your mutual friends, but dispersion looks at the amount of mutual friends that you have in specific networks. The success of the dispersion method is quite astounding. While the embeddedness

method only garnered 24.7 percent accuracy, the dispersion method was accurate 50 percent of the time. Additionally, when researchers used the dispersion strategy on married couples it predicted what couples were married 60 percent of the time. What makes this process even more interesting is its ability to get around the coveted “Facebook official� label. This pre-teen validation may have no significance as these researchers continue to refi ne their methods because they are looking at the number of mutual friends in your networks rather than Facebook posts — such as comments, statuses, pictures and likes. So, that picture of you making out with Jessica is not the only indicator that you two are clearly in it for the long run. Now instead of having researchers look at your Facebook friends list, just do it yourself. Dispersion can even determine how healthy a relation-

ship is. The more dispersed a relationship is, or the more integrated each person is within each others’ networks, the stronger the two are romantically connected. The degree of dispersion determines what relationships will still be maintained in 60 days. Although this fi nding was only in regards to nonmarried couples, seeing the results based on the degree of dispersion for married couples could possibly determine the strength of current marriages. All of this makes me wonder, is this our future? Data researchers are ultimately pulling together numbers on spreadsheets and telling us who we are most compatible with according to their calculations. This theory already exists in another form, online dating. Sites like eHarmony and Match.com are large vestibules for those who are taking a chance on the single men and women who put themselves out there on the Internet. However, these sites use personality-

based algorithms and research methods to determine who is compatible with who, and they allow the user to select who they like the most. With embeddedness and dispersion, there is no personality comparison, only a method comparing numbers of friends that, for the most part, are barely that. I have friends who have almost 2,000 Facebook friends, but I highly doubt that they can say that each one of those people is truly their friend. While this method seems to be pretty accurate, it is still far from becoming the proverbial Yenta of the Internet. As these algorithms become more advanced and accurate, there will always be those couples that are unpredictable. No one will ever truly know how they got together and how they maintained a lasting, loving relationship.

Your guide to making the most of Halloweekend on campus KATE CULLEN Opinions columnist

I

dread Halloween. Every year, I wish for the day to go by unnoticed, uncelebrated and virtually ignored by society. And every year I am disappointed because the trickor-treating children beat on without fail and the onslaught of trashy costumes persists. The truth of the matter is, Halloween intimidates me because I’ve never been one to come up with a creative costume idea. Also, the concept of disguising yourself for a day freaks me out a little. When I arrived at this campus as a freshman, I did not

quite understand the magnitude of the Halloween celebration that occurs year after year and thought that I could overcome my distaste for the holiday in the name of having a good time. To avoid any sort of confusion about exactly what the University’s reputation is, here are a few things to expect during Halloween week on campus. Here at the University, Halloween is not just celebrated on the 31st of October. No, it is observed for an entire week, selfishly consuming the weekend with parties that demand their attendees to wear costumes, causing the University’s Halloween weekends to become infamous. As a result, college students from all over the Midwest flock to our humble Champaign to contribute their own

scream mask costumes to the celebrations. Many fraternities use the occasion to throw blowout parties that often end up overcrowded and under-stocked, if you catch my drift. While all of the fraternity men hosting these parties will insist that you need to be on some elusive list to attend, they usually end up being a free-for-all and anyone is allowed in. How effective is an orange plastic fence anyway? These gatherings are great for the quintessential college experience that is similar to a scene from a movie, however they are sure to be flooded with freshmen and are not usually attended by the sophisticated upperclassmen. While the freshmen play dress-up at a fraternity party,

the upperclassmen frequent the bar scene on Halloween because waiting in an endless line and paying a ridiculous amount for cover is so much fun. While both the fraternity parties and the bars tend to be overcrowded and slightly terrifying due to all the disguised people operating under an alter ego, the bars have a more equal girl to boy ratio and the music is sure to be Halloween themed. Everyone likes to do their best Michael Jackson impersonation and pretend they know the “Thriller� dance because it’s played at least ten times at Red Lion. Where you celebrate the overhyped holiday is nowhere near as important as when. Now, many of you may be thinking — you celebrate on the day of Halloween, duh. And that’s exactly

what you would think, but you would be wrong. Because, like I said before, this is a weeklong event and everyone celebrates it on different days, making it very difficult to know exactly when to dress up and when to call it quits on the costume. Last year, Halloween fell awkwardly in the middle of the week sending the campus into a near frenzy because no one knew which weekend would be dubbed “Halloween weekend.� Because the holiday is such a hit on campus, my friends and I assumed everyone would be dressed up the weekend before and we confidently strode into the bars decked out in costumes. And no, I don’t mean cat ears and a black sweater. I’m talking about hotdog and ketchup body suits, the three witches

from “Hocus Pocus� and a zombie covered in white face paint. Unfortunately, we were the only ones who were dressed up and the rest of the bar stared at us the entire night. It was either the best or worst night, I’ll let you decide. Whether you love Halloween and thrive at creating mind blowing costumes that even Pinterest would be envious of, or, if you’re more like me and prefer a witch hat to reflect your personality, Halloween at the University is an event every student should experience. No matter where you go or what you do, you’re sure to end the weekend with stories you will be proud of.

Singer, student Ashley Fister pursues music dream BY ABBY GLICKMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

As a triplet coming from a family with little musical background, Ashley Fister was given a rare chance to follow her dreams over spring break of last year. The junior in LAS and member of Delta Gamma had the opportunity to record with Tyler Ward Studios in Nashville with her longtime friend Stephen Murphy and to work with Jeremy McCoy, touring bassist for The Fray. After starting to pursue music professionally in college, Fister and Murphy submitted one of their demos to Tyler Ward Studios in November 2012. A month later, they were then invited to visit and record at Tyler Ward Studios for their upcoming spring break. They ended up also recording with Scotty Rausch, senior in LAS, whom they met upon arriving in Nashville. “We didn’t know each other before, so we each recorded an individual song and we also recorded a song together,” Fister said. Fister’s first single, “Still Believe You Do,” will be coming out Nov. 1 via Tyler Ward Studios. She wrote and recorded the song while in Nashville. Fister’s expertise is in pop music, but she describes her single as “pop with a country side to it.” “Originally, we had three songs we planned on recording in Nashville, but when we got there we decided to start from scratch,” Fis-

ter said. “Jeremy McCoy helped a lot with the songwriting and the structure of the song.” Fister has a long history in music and also participated in musical theater at a young age. Since then, she said she has just “never stopped singing.” “I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember,” Fister said. “At a very young age, I started dance and piano. I’ve always had an interest in music.” Although singing keeps her very busy, Fister manages to balance working on her music, pursuing her major in communications, sorority life in the Delta Gamma house and extracurricular activities. “Time management is definitely one of the things I’ve learned most in college,” Fister said. “I’ve learned to balance my singing, my sorority, all the extracurricular activities and academics pretty well.” Fister also enjoys volunteer work. Along with volunteering with the Delta Gamma House for their philanthropies, Fister is on the executive board for Illini Dance Marathon, an event held in March that raises money for Children’s Miracle Network and benefits St. John’s Children’s Hospital in Springfield, Ill. Despite her busy schedule, Fister values the time she spends with her house and the company of her sisters. “Joining Delta Gamma was the

best decision I possibly could have made when I came to (the University),” Fister said. “My sisters are the ones who are most supportive of me ... I’m so lucky to have them as my friends and my sisters.” Alyssa Giovannoni, a member of Fister’s pledge class in Delta Gamma and junior in ACES, has seen Fister develop professionally within the music industry. She said she feels proud of her accomplishments and how far she’s come. “All of us are so proud to have a friend who is so talented and so humble. She works really hard,” said Nicole Polanco, another Delta Gamma sister and junior in Business. Fister showed her dedication to singing during Formal Recruitment when she performed every round despite having strep throat. Even while sick, “she sang and everyone got goosebumps every time,” according to Polanco. The gesture greatly impressed Polanco, who said that Fister “sang perfectly.” “She deserves everything, and I know she is going to do great things,” Polanco said. While Fister does not have any immediate plans for future recording, she said she is positive she will continue singing, whether it is professionally or not. “Music will always be a part of my life,” Fister said. “Nothing brings me greater joy, and I couldn’t imagine my life without it.”

Volunteers train service dogs to help people with disabilities

50% OFF YOUR CAR WASH WITH AN OIL CHANGE

BY CHRISTINA OEHLER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Often seen walking around campus with their trainers, service dogs can make adorable companions. Yet, they are more than just cute wet noses; Illini Service Dogs are trained to improve people’s lives. Founded in 2010, this registered student organization is the first program to allow University students to train dogs to positively affect others across the country. The dogs are trained for service throughout their youth by volunteer students on campus. Once fully trained, Illini Service Dogs are given to someone in need of assistance, free of charge. There are currently four dogs being trained through the program. Blue, Scout, Willard and Grainger were adopted as puppies from donating breeders or shelters. Each dog rotates from handler to handler, called “secondary handlers,” throughout the week while living with one specific trainer, or “primary handler.” Throughout training, the dogs work on a variety of tasks, such as retrieving objects and flipping light switches, while also working on learning civility in public spaces and their duty as a guide dog. “Blue lives with me, but secondary student trainers take him throughout the week and train him,” said Amanda Gleason, Illini Service Dogs vice president and junior in Applied Health Sciences. To become a trainer, veteran members of the RSO teach new members the requirements of the job during their weekly Sunday meetings at the Wesley United Methodist Church, located at 1203 W. Green St. in Urbana. The organization’s funding pays for all necessary provisions and veterinary care the primary handlers need to raise and train the dogs. When the dogs are donated to the Illini Service Dog program as

The student trainers work with them daily by taking them to classes, meals and anywhere throughout campus to help prepare them for their future lives as service dogs. The dogs are required to be able to perform necessary tasks needed by people with disabilities before the dogs can “graduate.” Service dogs are given to disabled individuals once the handlers deem they are fully trained, after which the trainers are sent updates about the dogs and their adaptation to their new home. The trainers are not paid to be primary or secondary trainers, so the program is entirely voluntary. Students of any major that are interested in training dogs are able to become trainers and assist in handling the dogs. “My major isn’t animal sciences, but I still am a trainer and an active member of the club,” said Kendall Cox, secondary trainer, secretary and treasurer for Illini Service Dogs and junior in Engineering. “I joined my freshman year when I saw the booth

on Quad Day.” On the Illini Service Dog website, the trainers keep a regular blog of how the dogs are improving throughout their training, and videos and pictures are posted of the dogs’ training milestones. However, once the dogs are given away, there is a confidential relationship between the new owners and the dogs, and updates are only sent to the organization by the new owner. “We aren’t allowed to contact the new owners of the dogs, but they often send our program updates and we get to see how the dogs have improved,” Cox said. The program hires new trainers every fall to handle dogs and teaches them more than 40 different commands before their graduation. “It’s a really cool program because the dogs are given to disabled people entirely free of charge, and we have fun training the dogs in the process,” Gleason said.

Nicholas and Colleen Harbour own Maison Harbour in Burgundy, France. Their wines originate from CĂ´te de Beaune and CĂ´te de Nuits and will be available for purchase around next December.

WINE NOT?

UI alumnus, wife leave careers to open winery BY ALICE SMELYANSKY STAFF WRITER

In Savigny-lès-Beaune, a village in the heart of the CĂ´te-d’Or in Burgundy, France, the vineyards run far and wide, and silky red and complex white wines are in great abundance. Five years ago, alumnus Nicholas Harbour and his wife Colleen could only dream of such a place. But now, away from the corporate world, they reside there on the eastern slope, making gourmet wines and sharing their passion and their story with others. “Coming here and doing wine, you get to really see the grapevines grow throughout the year, you see the impact of the weather on them (and) you see the impact of the people on them,â€? Harbour said. “But I think what really strikes our passion for wine is the human aspect.â€? Harbour and Colleen met in high school in Luxembourg, and parted ways when Harbour attended college at the University, and Colleen studied in Canada. After completing their undergraduate studies, the high school sweethearts moved back to Luxembourg in 2008 and both worked in the financial industry for five years. After they got married, they had a discussion about their goals and passions in life and realized that finance was not something they wanted to continue. They quit their jobs in Luxembourg and moved to France to explore their true interests. “Over the course of going to wine school in Beaune, I had to do a few projects for school, like a business plan,â€? Colleen said. “So I wrote a

business plan about starting a winery, and then thought, ‘Why don’t we just start a winery? We’re here, we’re learning about it, we really don’t have anything to lose. The only thing we can do is try, and if we don’t try, we’ll never know.’â€? Harbour studied the technical aspects of winemaking in the wine school in Beaune while Colleen studied the commercial side of wine. Their winery, a micro nĂŠgociant vinificateur, is called Maison Harbour. Business administration professor Jeffrey Kurtz’s Small Business Consulting class, BADM 445, is working with Maison Harbour to develop a strategy to import the wines to America. The class is divided into six teams of students who each work with a client. Next semester, Kurtz will be looking for 24 clients to pair with the 24 teams in his classes. The students go through the entire consulting process and identify the issues they see in a business to lead it toward success. “The big takeaway for my students is you get the opportunity to do something that’s unique — defining the problem — which is a very challenging thing to do,â€? Kurtz said. “Symptoms sometimes masquerade as problems. So it’s a good process for you to get used to — peeling those layers away and asking why all the time.â€? While at the University, Harbour was a student of Kurtz’s and reached out to him this year to see how his students could connect him directly to the American market. “Our goal of our business is to bring (Maison Harbour’s) Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to the American market,â€? Harbour said. “So since we have this connection to North America, we hope to be able to reach a lot of different consumers in the U.S.â€? Through this model, wine from Maison Har-

bour will be shipped directly to customers’ homes instead of partnering with third parties in the U.S. In order for the wine to reach consumers in the U.S., the product must meet Food and Drug Administration regulations and individual state laws. Harbour and Colleen meet with the students once a week on Skype, usually with a glass of wine in hand. The students are focusing on cost comparisons between starting an import business and working with an already established importer of wine, such as selling wine on Amazon.com. “Hopefully by the end of the school year, they’re going to say it’s better for you to start your own thing because it’s almost the same price and in the end you’ll make more money like that,â€? Harbour said. Maison Harbour just completed the winemaking process and predicts that the wine will be ready for distribution around next December, at the earliest. In total, from growing the grapes to putting them in the barrel, the winemaking process takes about two years. The wines come from CĂ´te de Beaune and CĂ´te de Nuits, and the Harbours hope to produce about 10 or 11 barrels for next year and double in size the following year. “We don’t drink too much wine alone,â€? Harbour said. “But we really enjoy to have people over and to open a really nice bottle of wine and talk about where it came from, the year that the grapes were grown ... whether they’re on a steep slope or on a valley. ... That kind of human connection is really what drives our passion for wine.â€?

Second in nation, junior forward sets Illinois record for goals scored in a single season BY LANRE ALABI STAFF WRITER

Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.

In

the 83rd minute of Illinois soccer’s game against Michigan State, junior forward Janelle Flaws placed down the ball just a couple of yards outside the Spartans’ penalty area in preparation for an Illinois free kick. Flaws’ strike sailed into the top corner of the far post to put the Illini 2-0 up over their opponents and retain hopes for qualification into the Big Ten Tournament. It also gave Flaws her 19th goal of the

season, and the title of the most prolific goal-scoring season in Illinois soccer program history along with it. She’s currently one goal behind first place in the country in goals scored. “It seems like it’s from nothing to leading goal scorer in the country, but what’s been happening for two years behind the scenes is what people don’t understand,� head coach Janet Rayfield said. “Janelle studies the game, and as she does that, she becomes instinctive. She’s hard to stop — in terms of goal scoring — because she can do a lot of different things and physically, she’s in the place to do them.� Coming from a great athletic pedigree certainly played a huge part in Flaws’ formative years. In addition to older generations producing athletes on the collegiate level, Flaws recalls a certain point during

high school when nine cousins attended Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, Ill., and all participated in a sport. In addition to earning a letter for soccer all four years in high school, Flaws was a member of Glenbrook South’s basketball and volleyball teams. “Basketball actually used to be a bigger influence early in high school, but in basketball I was more of a defensive player, and I liked the offense of soccer,� Flaws said. Flaws netted 43 goals for the Titans in her final season but tore her ACL in the final game of her high school career (against current teammate Vanessa DiBernardo’s Waubonsie Warriors), and she had to miss her first season in college.

Scheelhaase reacts to father’s arrest BY SEAN HAMMOND SENIOR WRITER

Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase addressed the media for the fi rst time since his father was arrested at Saturday’s Homecoming game for resisting a peace officer. Nate Creer, Scheelhaase’s father, 51, of Champaign, was arrested after getting into an altercation with another fan at the Illini’s game against Michigan State. Officers took him outside the stadium to calm him down at which point he “approached (a) sergeant in a very aggressive manner,� Deputy Chief of Police Skip Frost said Monday. Creer was arrested and released that night. The University Police Department banned him from all University property for one year, which includes Memorial Stadium. The Illini have two home games remaining in what is Scheelhaase’s senior season. Scheelhaase addressed the situation Tuesday.

“I’ve kept it as a family matter,� Scheelhaase said. “When you’re a senior, you’ve kind of been through the whole gambit. You know there’s going to be different distractions throughout your career. “The best thing I have is a bunch of people in here that are focused on this next game, focused on what we need to do every day. When you come in and you’re surrounded by those people that you’ve been around for years now, it makes life really easy.� Creer declined to comment on Saturday’s incident or the University ban for this story. Scheelhaase’s teammate and close friend Miles Osei said Scheelhaase was doing well and was focused on Illinois’ game at Penn State this weekend. Wide receiver Steve Hull, a fi fth-year senior like Scheelhaase, said he didn’t know if the situation was affecting his quarterback. “The really good thing about

Nate is he’s very strong, and if he was a guy that wasn’t as strong in his faith ... he’s above and beyond what anybody else would be,� Hull said. “We defi nitely checked on him and asked how he was doing. He said, ‘Yeah, I’m good.’ And there was nothing else to be said about it.� Scheelhaase said he was treating the situation as any other distraction. He said every player deals with off-thefield issues, from family to fi nal exams to girlfriends. For him there hasn’t been a problem setting the distractions aside. “It hasn’t been bad at all,� Scheelhaase said. “That’s the great part about being in the DARYL QUITALIG THE DAILY ILLINI thick of the season.

Fantasy Doctor: Giants no longer a giant letdown J.J. WILSON Fantasy doctor

T

hings have changed since I last saw the Giants. It was a cold Thursday night in Soldier Field. The lights were on, the air was chilled and the stadium invited fans from Chicago and New York alike. The Bears had lost two straight games and were hosting the winless Giants at home, but an incompatible mesh of optimism and doubt made the atmosphere tense. On the third play of the opening drive, Eli Manning threw an interception to Zack Bowman — a discouraging mistake that was righted when the defense held the Bears on 4th-and-2 to reclaim the ball for the offense. The tensions held for the next four plays until Giants fans fi nally let their guard down. Two rushes for 21 yards loosened them up; one pass for 20 had them on their feet. They were hopeful, they were happy and much like the first quarter last week, they believed. The very next play was picked off and returned for a touchdown, giving the Bears a lead they would never surrender. These were the Giants we had

ancer is a pretty scary thing. When it strikes someone you know, it can be even scarier. Everybody in Boston knows Jon Lester, and during his rookie season in the majors in 2006, the Red Sox ace pitcher was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After undergoing treatment and chemotherapy, Lester was cancerfree in time to win the clinching game of the 2007 World Series for the Red Sox. Fast forward to 2013. Lester has gone 2-0 for the Sox in the World Series, striking out 15 Cardinals and giving up just one run along the way. He has been the defi nition of an ace for the Red Sox, who have ridden him to the brink of their third World Series Championship in the last 10 years. Lester is a professional athlete, but that does not shelter him from the reality of cancer. During Game 4 of the World Series, there was an on-the-field tribute to the ongoing fight against cancer. FOX ran advertisements explaining how to contribute to the MLB’s efforts to fund cancer research and treatment. It is obviously a terrific thing that professional athletes and sports leagues choose to highlight cancer as an enemy to be eradicated, but who decided to limit things to just cancer? In professional football, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is observed during October, and players, coaches and fans all wear pink attire and accessories. Why isn’t every month in the NFL commemorated as “Fillin-the-blank-disease Awareness Month�? Where is the place for autism, cerebral palsy, Alzheimer’s and cystic fibrosis? In October, awareness and money are raised for fighting a disease that is one of the most well known affl ictions in the world. The other four months of the NFL season hold no charitable significance. Before his downfall as a professional doper (cyclist), Lance Armstrong helped the cancer-sports connection with his immensely powerful and money-gobbling charity Livestrong. Armstrong was one of the fi rst athletes to use his success to highlight a cause, and since then, the popularity of the cancer cause has increased tenfold. Finances should be no roadblock to charitable expansion: professional leagues should just skim off a certain percent of merchandise and ticket sales each month and donate the lump sum to a different worthy cause. Goodness knows the owners could suffer through fewer pairs of silk underpants and fur coats (I just got you to picture NFL owners in silk underpants). Jon Lester is the rare athlete who has fi rst-hand experience with cancer. Therefore, it is even more important that professional sports shine their spotlight on as many charitable causes as possible. His recent success only puts more emphasis on how disconnected most people in professional sports are from normal people. Sports are a place we go to escape everyday life, which makes them the perfect place to highlight the folks who aren’t lucky enough to enjoy everyday life because they have to focus on their disease. Professional sports are so popular and so lucrative; it is almost criminal not to direct as much money as possible toward charities. Despite screams of protest from owners’ and players’ wallets, they don’t need four Benzes and a Bentley. That money could be pulled from their checkbooks and put into the checkbooks of Autism Speaks, Susan G. Komen or the American Cancer Society. Cancer is out there, it is scary, and it does affect a lot of people. But there are a lot of other scary things out there, many of which aren’t going away anytime soon. You know what’s also not going away anytime soon? Professional sports. The sooner we recognize that, the sooner we can use the power of one to fight the other.

They were the winless team that had fallen from Super Bowl grace, with a poor defense averaging 34.8 points allowed per game and an unwatchable quarterback who had already thrown 15 picks.

After two straight wins, the Giants are just two games out of fi rst place in the NFC East, sitting behind the 4-4 Cowboys, the 3-5 Eagles and the 2-5 Redskins.

Bulls’ Butler comfortable in increased role BY K.C. JOHNSON CHICAGO TRIBUNE

MIAMI — Jimmy Butler almost never came off the court during last spring’s Bulls-Heat playoff series. Perhaps that’s why the thirdyear swingman doesn’t view beginning a full season as the starting shooting guard any differently. “Basketball is basketball,” Butler said. “You always have to be able to execute at both ends.” Butler played all 48 minutes in three of the five games against the Heat and close to 46 minutes in a fourth. Dating to the first-round series against the Nets, Butler at one point logged a staggering 160:41 of consecutive playing time. “I’m super comfortable,” he said of his new role. “That’s what all this work has been about this summer, just coming in ready. We’ve got guys on our team that tell me to play with confidence and to not be afraid to make mistakes.” Butler scored 20 points in 30 minutes Tuesday, taking an early seat for Mike Dunleavy with two fouls in the first 3:29 and playing only 5:55 in the first half. Deadline day: The Bulls have until Thursday night to exercise the third-year option on point guard Marquis Teague. While typically a formality for first-round picks, management continues to mull the decision. Previously, the Bulls checked his tepid trade value around the league. Teague’s $1.12 million option is only about $250,000 more than a league-minimum deal. So the

Derrick Rose returns in loss to defending champions

decision isn’t tied to a fear of the repeater tax, which the Bulls will avoid. Collectively bargained during the lockout that delayed the start of the 2011-12 season, the repeater tax is strongly punitive on teams over the luxury-tax threshold for three straight or four of five seasons. The Bulls will be a tax team for the second straight season after this one and will be roughly $8 million over the $71.7 million tax line this time, triggering a penalty of $1.75 for every $1 over. Star power: As usual, these rivals didn’t exchange pregame handshakes other than Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer bumping quick fists with Chris Bosh. But LeBron James said he’s “happy” for Derrick Rose’s return. “It’s great for the league,” James said. “He looked like Derrick Rose in the preseason. He’s an unbelievable talent. I’m happy that he’s healthy.” Memory lane: Tuesday marked the second time in franchise history the Bulls endured an opponent’s ring ceremony. The last time came in 2006 in the same building when the Bulls crushed the Heat 10866 behind Kirk Hinrich’s unlikely 26 points. It’s the largest openingnight defeat for a defending champion in NBA history. “It was so long ago,” Hinrich said when asked for memories. “But I remember we were a young team highly motivated to try to prove ourselves. I remember we played great. Everything went well for us.”

Packers remain team to beat in NFC North BY DAN WIEDERER CHICAGO TRIBUNE

MINNEAPOLIS — Jordy Nelson was the last Packer out of the visitors’ locker room at Mall of America Field late Sunday. He had showered and dressed, did interviews with a large media throng, and as he slipped into his suit jacket, finally heading for the bus, he took a deep breath. “Long day,” Nelson said. “Tough day.” He looked spent. But then the sixth-year receiver was reminded of the night’s final score — Packers 44, Vikings 31 — and the time of possession (40 minutes, 54 seconds) that contributed to his fatigue. “Any long day is a fun day when we’re successful like that,” Nelson added with a grin. Nelson contributed seven catches, 123 yards and two touchdowns Sunday, both on first-half throws from Aaron Rodgers that sizzled through windows no bigger than a toaster. Running backs Eddie Lacy and James Starks added rushing touchdowns, and the Packers MARK HOFFMAN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE rolled up a ridiculous 451 yards Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph picks up 18 yards on a reception on their first six possessions, before being tackled by Green Bay Packers strong safety Morgan Burnett delivering convincing evidence they remain the class of the NFC on Sunday at Mall of America Field in Minneapolis, Minn.

North as long as Rodgers continues to operate with such contagious confidence. Next up: a “Monday Night Football” clash with the Bears. And if Sunday’s outburst was any indication, the Bears defense will need an ultra-sharp week of preparation to have any chance of defusing a Packers offense that has lost several big-time playmakers to injury (receivers James Jones and Randall Cobb and tight end Jermichael Finley) yet somehow has only gained explosion. This might not be the ideal first test for a Bears defense that will be without linebacker and leader Lance Briggs for the first time at Lambeau Field. In Sunday’s massacre in Minneapolis, the Packers passed with precision, ran with purpose and continually converted third downs. And then there was that time-of-possession dominance that drained every ounce of energy from the Vikings defense. “We did that too,” Lacy said. Right guard T.J. Lang joked that he felt the offense never left the field. It seemed that way with three of the Packers’ scoring drives lasting longer than 13 plays and 7 minutes. Rodgers’ third-down numbers:

10-for-10, 172 yards, two TDs plus three rushes for 29 yards. “He makes those (pinpoint) throws time after time after time,” Lang said. “It doesn’t really impress me anymore. He’s just so consistent with it, so accurate.” In the name of balance, the Packers piled up 182 yards on the ground. Lacy has 395 over his last four games. Even with a reshuffled cast of targets, Rodgers hasn’t flinched. His aplomb, receiver Jarrett Boykin said, was obvious in the huddle all night Sunday, generating noticeable urgency, especially after Vikings rookie Cordarrelle Patterson opened the night with a 109-yard kickoff return touchdown. “Aaron’s a very confident, emotional leader,” Boykin said. “He basically told us that we needed to put points on the board right away, keep putting them up and prove our identity.” True to form, Rodgers scrubbed in and went into surgery. He finished a 14-play, 90-yard opening drive with an 11-yard pass to Nelson, noticing a single-high safety look and beating blanket coverage from Josh Robinson with a perfect throw. Rodgers connected with Nel-

son again a quarter later, this time recognizing blitz pressure, eyeing Nelson as his hot read and pinpointing a slant pass 3 inches above the inside shoulder of linebacker Chad Greenway and between both Vikings safeties, sending Nelson dashing to a 76-yard score. “It’s all about Aaron’s quick release,” Nelson said. “He can diagnose a defense extremely fast and get the ball out of his hands. And we do a good job with our hot reads and having the feel for what he wants done.” That feel has the Packers boasting the NFC’s most potent offense, averaging 438.9 yards per game and preparing to host an injury-riddled Bears defense that has been ineffective in creating pressure. After an open date, the Bears should be somewhat rejuvenated. Yet while Nelson, Rodgers and the Packers wore themselves out Sunday, they did so by scoring every time they had the ball until two game-ending kneel-downs. Said Rodgers: “We expect greatness out of our guys. We expect guys to be prepared for the routes they’re running, the blocks they’re making, and guys did a great job.”

Illini hockey rallies in wake of losing streak BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Alexis Villunas sets the ball to Anna Dorn during the game against Nebraska at Huff Hall, on Oct. 1. The Illini will take on Nebraska for the second time this season in Lincoln, Neb.

Illini volleyball prepares to face Huskers for second go BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER

For the first time this season, the Illinois volleyball team will be facing a team for a second time. Unfortunately for the Illini (9-11, 5-5 Big Ten), they’ll be facing the No. 11 Cornhuskers (15-4, 8-2), this time in Lincoln, Neb., where wins have been scarce in Illinois history. When these two teams first played in September, the result was ugly for the Illini. Not only did the Illini get swept, but neither their offense nor their defense played at a high level, as Illinois hit .144, its second lowest output of the season, and allowed Nebraska to hit .255. “We didn’t execute our game plan well at all last time,” head coach Kevin Hambly said. “We played soft, we played scared and the biggest thing is we need to be tougher.” The Illini will also be coming into the match on a seven-game losing streak against the Huskers, with Illinois’ last win coming in 1993. Despite the recent struggles, sophomore setter Alexis Viliunas said the team isn’t feeling any pressure after being swept by Nebraska earlier this season.

FROM 1B

FLAWS She joined the Illini on the field for the first time in 2011, starting in only one of 22 games and finishing the season with three goals and three assists. She reinjured her leg during the 2012 preseason and missed her second full year of college soccer.

The Illini hockey team isn’t out of troubled waters yet, but at least they’re swimming. Weighed down by the toughest month in one of the most difficult schedules of any hockey team in the nation, the Illini (7-6-1) have dropped seven of their past eight games after starting the season with six straight wins. No. 16 Illinois’ losses have all come against top-15 teams such as No. 1 Arizona State, No. 3 Robert Morris, No. 7 Iowa State and No. 13 Lindenwood. Despite losing most of their games over the past month, the Illini began to wake up last weekend against No. 13 Lindenwood. Prior to the series, Illinois was on a six-game losing streak in which it was outscored 29-5 by its opponents and shutout in three of the games. But this past weekend, the team scored more goals than it had in the previous three weeks, burying six goals and splitting the series with its conference rival. The Illini offense was producing for the first time in nearly a month and kept the team in the game for most of each night, even earning a 3-2 comeback victory Friday night.

“We’re a whole totally different team than we were the first time we played them,” Viliunas said. “It can really go either way. We’ve grown up a lot since that match (Sept. 28), and we’ve gotten so much better. It’ll be a tough one, but it’ll be fun.” Part of the Illini’s maturation process has been closing out games. After giving up a handful of close games, including a jarring, five-set loss to Northwestern in which Illinois took the first two sets, the team has since vowed to be less susceptible to breakdowns at the end of sets. The Illini displayed their resiliency and will to finish in their last match, when they once again took the first two sets but were able to close out the match in four against No. 16 Wisconsin. “We didn’t necessarily know how to win certain games,” junior outside hitter Liz McMahon said. “We knew how to play well, but we didn’t really know what that extra piece was to win the game. I think we’re starting to figure that out.” To finish their matchup with Nebraska, the Illini will have to get themselves into that position first. Something the team hasn’t been able to do all season and will

need to do against Nebraska is put together an equally strong showing on both sides of the ball. “I think it’s natural when we want to be offensive to have this attacking mentality or intensity,” McMahon said. “We need to transfer that to defense, too. ... It’s hard to sustain that intensity for a whole game, but I think we just need to work on that and it’ll level out.” The Illini will have to try and slow down Nebraska’s twin outside hitters Kadie and Amber Rolfzen to get within reach of match point. Although Amber was held to a mere .048 hitting percentage in the teams’ last meeting, she made up for it defensively by registering five blocks and seven digs. Kadie provided the offense for Nebraska, racking up 14 of the team’s 38 kills to the tune of a .242 hitting percentage. “(Amber) completely abused my blocks, so we’re going to have a better game plan against her,” McMahon said. “I know (the duo’s) style of play now. I know their swing now, and I know how to defend them. But they’re good, they don’t play like freshmen at all.”

points or higher). He averages two touchdowns per game and has yet to throw for fewer than 200 yards in a game this season. The only drawback to Dalton is his interceptions, seven in eight games, but is that really a reason not to pick him up? I think not. Pick him up. Kenny Stills (wide receiver, Saints, 1.1 percent) — Stills is getting opportune looks from Drew Brees, which is something that should be sending all fantasy owners to the waivers. With a mere three catches, Stills showcased his talent by breaking out for 129 yards and two touchdowns. For some reason, Brees seems to have developed a connection with Stills,

“I wasn’t as prepared as I should have been (in 2011),” Flaws said. “Having only three goals, I have never been on a soccer team where that has been the case before. The second time around with the ACL, I was making sure that when I got the chance to get back on the field, I would be prepared.” Flaws focused her energy on strength and fitness-building exercises during her rehab sessions.

She said she wanted to make sure she was fully prepared to face the rigor of a full collegiate season. That change from two seasons ago is apparent in Flaws’ play. She had surpassed her former careerhigh tally with five goals by the fourth game of this season, and she has two hat tricks so far. Megan Pawloski is the other half of Illinois’ forward duo and says the strides Flaws has taken

have improved their partnership. “We’ve learned to play very well together this season,” Pawloski said. “I know I can always find someone in the middle of the box who can score goals, and I enjoy playing with her.” In the years before high school, Flaws and current teammate Kassidy Brown helped their club team ELA Elite win two state titles (2003, 2004) and a Region II title

FANTASY DOC

Illinois’ loss Saturday night wasn’t from a lack of goals but instead from its poor penalty kill, another area of play that has crippled the team this season. Illinois allowed three powerplay goals to the Lions, as well as a shorthanded goal, which became the difference in the game. The Illini welcomed 12 freshmen to the roster just three months ago. Senior winger John Scully said as the young team continues to mature together, the wins will come sooner rather than later. “As long as we kind of keep stepping in the right direction, I think we’ll be OK,” Scully said. “We’re definitely not hitting the panic button yet.” Although the Illini aren’t where they want to be in the rankings, head coach Nick Fabbrini said it’s early in the season and the team still has a chance to climb back up in the polls. “Losing as many games as we did in the way we did definitely doesn’t help our cause, but we have plenty of time to get back to where we want to be and where we need to be,” he said. The Illini still have series against No. 3 Robert Morris, No. 7 Iowa State and No. 13 Lindenwood left this season, which

offers an opportunity for redemption against the teams who beat them early on. The team also still has a chance to make a statement against No. 2 Minot State, the defending ACHA national champions, as well as No. 5 Central Oklahoma, No. 8 Oklahoma and No. 11 Ohio. Even after falling eight spots in the national polls in two weeks, Fabbrini said the team is focused on controlling what it can control on the ice. Illinois’ special teams is still holding the team back from its full potential, having given up 11 power-play goals and three shorthanded goals in the past eight games. But as the team’s goal scorers begin to produce, they begin to slowly solve the issue of poor offensive production by starting to play with the intensity expected of them at the beginning of the season. “I think we’ve gotten our confidence back,” Fabbrini said. “Friday night was probably as good as we’ve played all year, but we’re still working to find that consistent level of energy and effort.”

and it’s churning out great numbers. Add the low-ranked Jets passing defense into the mix and Stills becomes one of the week’s hottest options.

your team, you may as well assume your roster’s tight end spot a wash. Brandon Meriweather (safety, Redskins, who cares?) — OK, so maybe you can’t actually drop Meriweather. But if you could, you should. This isn’t based on Bears pride or his public shots at Brandon Marshall; it’s based on his bad attitude, poor play style and disrespect for the game. Changes to the rules were made to help keep players safer, not to encourage defensive players to operate under the mindset that they’ve “gotta end people’s careers,” as he was reported saying. I know it would just be symbolic, but drop Meriweather.

DROPS Jared Cook (tight end, Rams, 81.4 percent) — The Rams haven’t proven to have a consistent passing game, especially one that includes a tight end. Sam Bradford is gone for the season, which transitions the Rams pass production from bad to abysmal. They also play two of the better pass defenses in the next two weeks (Tennessee and Indianapolis). But everything else aside, Cook just doesn’t get the job done. He’s managed no higher than four points for seven straight weeks. If you still think he’s good for (2007). Over the years of watching her teammate develop, Brown said she has been impressed by a consistent aspect of Flaws’ personality. “She is intense,” Brown said. “In every part of her life she is very competitive but with a fun nature.” After overcoming two major injuries and a 14-year-old record, Minnesota is next on Flaws’ checklist. Her team needs a win over
