Officials consolidate units’ disaster plans Police, faculty, civil service employees create a unified, all-campus emergency plan
BY TYLER DAVIS STAFF WRITER
A 60-page emergency plan doesn’t help much in the case of a tornado or open shooting. That was University Police Lt. Todd Short’s thinking when he decided to consolidate hundreds of individual building plans into one comprehensive plan for the campus. Until now, the University has not had a campus-wide emergency plan. The Building Emergency Action Plan includes a simplified version of existing plans, essentially laying out two options: get out or stay in, depending on the emergency. The cooperative effort is being headed by the University police department, the campus code
compliance and fire safety section of the planning division of Facilities and Services and building administrators. The plan also includes rescue assistance areas where people, including those who are physically or mentally disabled, can go if they are not able to evacuate or get to a safe area, according to the plan. “My goal is to give people as few things to think about as possible to expedite their (emergency) response,” Short said. These plans not only include University properties, but any Greek or private certified housing that falls within the boundaries of University Avenue in the north, Lincoln Avenue in the east, Windsor Road in the south and
Neil Street in the west. “We’ve been (working) very quickly because not only do we have an obligation and responsibility to assist people with (emergency plans), it’s just the right thing to do,” Short said. He said each building on campus is unique, and the people who work in these buildings would know them best. The plan will eventually be available in an online format that will be accessible to fi rst responders at emergency scenes. Bob Rauber, department head of atmospheric sciences, originally got involved with the project in order to bring the University to storm-ready status. Rauber had also been working toward achieving National Weather Service StormReady certification for the University and realized the two projects integrated well. “The idea of storm readiness really has evolved with the disasters that have happened,” Rauber said. “We’ve seen that there
is real, life-saving potential through preparation awareness.” In order for the campus to be certified as StormReady, all buildings on campus must meet certain criteria. First, a disaster plan must be in place, and second, staff must have access to building plans so students can be informed as well. This can be done by notifying students as to where they can seek shelter during the first few minutes of their first class, Rauber said. Also, all buildings must be inspected to determine whether there is a tornado refuge area. “We don’t want people telling people to go somewhere that might be locked or might be closed until we know what’s all there,” Rauber said. The third aspect is proper signage on campus buildings indicating shelter. “Right now, it’s very spotty on campus,” Rauber said. “If you look around, you won’t find many
buildings with tornado signs on (them). They generally don’t lead you to the place you should go. We want to fix that.” The Building Emergency Action Plan has been in the making since May 2012. The plans for the fi rst 100 buildings are expected to be completed by Jan. 1, 2013, and, all together, more than 200 buildings are expected to be completed by May 2013. About 40 buildings have already fi nished their plans. Short said the plans will be updated every 11 months. “It’s a lot of work, it’s a labor of love, (and) it’s a labor of respect for the University,” Short said. “I’ve been affi liated with this area for 40 years. I went to school here, and it’s not only what I do for a living, but it gives me great joy to be able to feel like I’m really making a difference one building at a time.”

Members from the GEO stage a “teach-in” at the Illini Union Courtyard Cafe onWednesday afternoon. The group protesting is looking for higher wages and improved health care.

The Graduate Employees’ Organization held a Halloween teach-in at the Illini Union Courtyard Cafe on Wednesday. The graduate and teaching assistants of the organization did the work they would normally do in their office in a public setting, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., to raise awareness about the group’s main issues with the University. “The big issues that are still on the table are health care and wages, but then our biggest issue is tuition waivers,” said GEO spokeswoman Stephanie Seawell. Carry Osborne, teaching assistant and GEO member, said these
issues affect the quality of undergraduate students’ education as graduate employees “teach 40 percent of intro-level courses at the University and 24 percent of classes overall.” Amanda Butler, teaching assistant, came to the teach-in to make sure her voice was heard. “The point is making a statement to the University that we are not alone, and that this means everything to us,” Butler said. Butler said a handful of undergraduate students approached her during the teach-in, and once they understood what the GEO was doing, they showed support and asked what they could do to help. She said students can con-

tact the Board of Trustees to let them know the situation directly affects them and encourage the board to bargain with the GEO. Butler rang a bell every half hour to signal GEO members to hold up signs to draw more attention to their teach-in. The signs identified the assistants’ departments, such as the one that read “NRES graduate student without a contract. Ask me for help.” Butler, along with three other assistants, organized the teach-in. She came up with the idea of holding up signs to engage more with members of the public.

Leveraging Science and Technology to Transform International Security: The Social Responsibility of Engineers and Scientists

Traditionally, security has often been narrowly viewed through the lens of military defense and acquisition of weapons. This view must change. Today and increasingly in the future, every nation’s security will depend more and more on a new mindset: the security of everyone will hinge on cooperative means to ensure adequate energy, food, and water. However, humanity is on an unsustainable path in use of these resources. Increasing competition for scarcer supplies could lead to major armed conflict or other massive suffering. Dr. Ferguson will discuss the role of engineers and scientists in developing and deploying science and technology to achieve greater security for all nations.

University police to start analysis of potential sexual assault trends BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER
The University police departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime prevention unit will begin its crime analysis this week on potential crime trends. In September 2011, the U.S. Department of Justice announced a federal grant of $616,548 to the University Police Department. With this grant, the University was able to hire three officers. The grant requires that at least 10 percent of the funding be spent on homicide, rape and repeat offenders, according to the Community Oriented Policing Services Hiring Program Award Selection Methodology. The University Police Department plans to focus on rape prevention. When the department applied for the grant, the unit was trying to fi nd community plans for preventing sexual assault. The unit just fi nished one of the efforts to raise awareness, in which offi cers fi nished their lessons on teaching men and women how
to protect themselves. Detective Robert Murphy of the University Police Department said these programs are made to prevent potential sexual assault crimes in the fi rst place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to make them aware of their surroundings, make them realize whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on and hopefully students in the program we can teach them to get that way,â&#x20AC;? Murphy said. Detective Rebecca Lauher of the University Police and one of the instructors of the course, said it is important for students to be responsible individuals on campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the most important thing is to affect peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior and making them aware of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on around them,â&#x20AC;? Lauher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can try changing the environment but again, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about changing a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior and their patterns ... Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what crime prevention is about.â&#x20AC;? Sgt. Joan Fiesta of the University Police said the opportuni-
ty to do crime analysis because of the grant was a welcomed surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found this one and it kind of matched what we thought we could do, but it was need based and program based,â&#x20AC;? Fiesta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure that we would get it ... and we were quite surprised.â&#x20AC;? Krissie Garcia, one of the new hires, is the crime and intelligence analyst from the unit and is expecting to read police reports from the University, Champaign and Urbana. The reports could help her connect the dots between crimes and possibly track crime trends on campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my role, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be meeting with various representatives from other departments like Champaign-Urbana and Champaign County, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all be sharing information and hopefully we can all work together to maximize the program and minimize the crime,â&#x20AC;? she said. Fiesta said the crime preven-
tion unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose is to recognize recent crime patterns in order to reduce the number of crimes that occur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crime analysis is important because it helps us understand the crime trends,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People tend to worry about the who is committing the crime and who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary as important...but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the how the crime is committed.â&#x20AC;? Fiesta said the ability to hire more officers, especially a crime analyst, was one of the hopes of past police chief Barbara Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor when she was in the department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had (the) need for more officers, this was part of Chief Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to grow our department, to match the population and types of crime that were happening,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This money was really helpful in getting three more officers hired on our department.â&#x20AC;?

Two children found dead by police officers in Naperville home THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAPERVILLE, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police officers asked to check in on a home on a quiet suburban Chicago cul-de-sac found two dead children inside, including a kindergartener, and arrested a woman who could face charges, authorities said Wednesday. Officers were called to the Naperville home Tuesday night to make a well-being check, said Sgt. Louis Cammiso, who did not elaborate on what exactly prompted the request or who placed the call. He said investigators had someone in custody Wednesday and that criminal charges could be forthcoming. A spokesman for the DuPage County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, Paul Darrah, said the person in custody was a woman, but authorities were not identifying her by name. Police said there was no reason to think anyone else was involved. Police and the prosecutorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office refused to provide any details about how the children were killed or give their ages. Authorities said there was no press conference scheduled Wednesday. The quiet neighborhood to the west of Chicago was in shock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just devastated by it all,â&#x20AC;? said Della Brinson, 60, who lives on the same cul-de-sac. Neither she nor her husband heard any disturbance Tuesday night. They learned the news after waking up to the commotion of news crews, helicopters and police cars. Brinson said she did not think the woman in custody was known around the neighborhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never did even see the children,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very quiet area.

The University will simulate a minor oil spill on Thursday in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency regulations. The simulated spill will take place at Abbott Power Plant, 1117 S. Oak St., in Champaign and will require emergency first responders from the Champaign and Urbana Fire Departments. The exercise allows Abbott Power Plant to test their facility response plan and the Champaign and Urbana Fire Departments to drill emergency responders. Champaign Police Capt. John Barker said once the spill is simulated, Abbott will place the emergency call and responders will be sent to the power plant. Prior to arrival at Abbott, responding crews â&#x20AC;&#x153;do not know exactly what to expectâ&#x20AC;? and the extent of the simulated spill will not be apparent until the emergency crews arrive. Another benefit of the drill, Barker added, is that authorities â&#x20AC;&#x153;get to stand next to the people (they) would be standing next to in a real event,â&#x20AC;? which allows everyone involved to play through the incident as though it is an actual spill. Responders in the procedure will follow the simulated spill from Abbott Power Plant and determine the area to which the hazard will travel. The simulation is expected to begin at Abbott Power Plant at approximately 9 a.m. on Thursday.

Residents struggle to cope with power outage BY JONATHAN FAHEY AND SCOTT MAYEROWITZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Millions of families tried to adjust to life without modern conveniences Wednesday, two full days after Superstorm Sandy ripped through the Northeast and blacked out some of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most densely populated cities and suburbs. Homes grew chilly without heat. Food spoiled in refrigerators. Televisions remained silent. And people everywhere scurried for a spot to charge their cell phones. By and large, Americans tried
to make the best of a situation that was beyond their control while utilities struggled to restore power â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a massive job that the companies warned could last well into next week. Sandyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footprint was enormous, knocking down wires and rendering other critical equipment useless across a huge span of the country, from Virginia to Massachusetts and as far west as the Great Lakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unprecedented: fallen trees, debris, the roads, water, snow. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit of everything,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Wolff, senior
vice president of the Edison Electric Institute, a group that lobbies for utilities. For power companies, the scale of the destruction was unmatched. The damage is more widespread than any blizzard or ice storm. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worse than the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In New York City and along the New Jersey and Connecticut coasts, flooding knocked out substations and switching yards, the vertebrae of the electric distribution system. About 60 million people were initially without power in 8.2 million homes and businesses.
By Wednesday night, that number had fallen to roughly 44 million people in 6 million households and businesses. Even as power slowly returned to some pockets, a new headache emerged: Backup batteries and generators running cell phone towers were running out of juice. One out of every five towers was down, according to the Federal Communications Commission. That â&#x20AC;&#x201D; plus more people relying on their cell phones to stay connected â&#x20AC;&#x201D; overwhelmed the system in some areas, making it hard to place calls.

Wall Street reopens after Sandy floods New York THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wall Street is back in business. Traffic is snarled, streets flooded, subways idle and power out in many parts of Manhattan and beyond, but the New York Stock Exchange opened trading without a hitch Wednesday after a historic two-day shutdown caused by Superstorm Sandy. At 9:30 a.m., right on schedule, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg rang the opening bell, then gave a hopeful thumbsup. Cheers rose from traders on
the trading floor below, falsely rumored to be flooded, but dry Wednesday morning, and festive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the city, good for country, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for everyone to get back to work,â&#x20AC;? the mayor told CNBC moments later while leaving the exchange building at 11 Wall Street. The stakes were high for trading to resume. Wall Street traders and strategists were worried that a third day of delay would have meant more pent-up demand from customers to buy and sell stocks, resulting in a
surge of orders that could send the market on wild ride. There were also doubts that there would be enough people in offices trading stocks for the market to match buyers and sellers smoothly. But trading was placid from the start Wednesday, and much of the worry ebbed away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived through a lot of events â&#x20AC;&#x201D; crashes, mini-crashes, events of mother nature, manmade events, terrible events like 9/11,â&#x20AC;? said Ted Weisberg, president of Seaport Securities, 72, shortly after the opening bell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somehow

She said she still finds it important for teaching and graduate assistants to have tuition waivers. Restrictions on tuition waivers may cause students looking to teach at this University to go elsewhere, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a tuition waiver somewhere else, which means that the only students that will be accepting positions here wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be necessarily the best and brightest in their fields,â&#x20AC;? Dimit said.

With power out in much of downtown Manhattan, the NYSE building Wednesday was an isolated hub of activity in a largely deserted and darkened neighborhood. The company that runs the exchange, NYSE Euronext, used backup generators to power its operations, including turning on the red, white and blue lights trained on its six-columned facade.

Urbana’s elected officials should receive pay raises
JOANNA ROTHENBERG Opinions columnist
U
rbana’s elected officials are currently considering whether they will move forward with a proposal by Mayor Laurel Prussing to take zero raises now, then two consecutive years of raises: there would be a 1 percent raise in 2014 and 2 percent in 2015 and 2016. The raises would go to Prussing, the city clerk and the city council. Aldermen will vote formally on the proposal at next week’s Nov. 5 meeting. While in the past officials had taken 3 percent increases yearly to match inflation, they stopped doing so when the recession hit in 2008 and voluntarily gave up their raises for a year. Now that revenue has been slowly inching its way back up, there is a little more leeway. Prussing noted in her memo to aldermen that while she foresees a slow comeback of property values over the next two years, health insurance and pension commitments also weigh on the city council. The increases would bring the mayor’s salary from $61,643 to $62,259 in May 2014 up to $64,774 in May 2016. Aldermen would see an increase of about $300 realized by 2016. City clerk Phyllis Clark would bump up her current salary of $52,246 to $57,002. Ward 1 alderman Charlie Smyth suggests fixed dollar amount raises, arguing that percentage raises only make the “rich richer.” For Urbana, that could be a viable option to help mitigate any unnecessary raises or to make sure the raises reflect the amount of work that each member must do for the city. With the current proposal, the mayor would receive over $3,000 by 2016 while the aldermen would receive $300. While the raises Prussing’s will receive isn’t overzealous, we can look over to our neighbors in Danville, with an even smaller population, and their mayor, Mayor Scott Eisenhauer making $73,000. Clearly there are several factors that go into setting a salary, especially given the difficult task of meeting the requirement by law that salaries be set for each year of these officials’ terms 180 days before they take office. Perhaps a better route may have been to conduct a study. For this year at least, the raises are sensible — in the future, that may not be the case. Even though other union and non-union employees took a salary freeze, we don’t oppose these modest salary raises for the city council — they have acted appropriately in the past and should begin seeing their raises again. We would hope that the main priority would remain to be continuing to balance the budget, but the raises in themselves are small and deserved.

T
term for President Obama considering he has declared a recordbreaking 2,000 disaster declarations and counting. Whatever the political implications are, the environmental implications are far greater. The increase in disaster declarations is merely a reflection of the changing climate. And for those in denial, let me reestablish that we are witnessing a hurricane in the last week of October, a phenomenon that has only happened 11 times since 1950. Additionally, with the increased attention to the climate, it’s safe to assume we will find more natural disasters than in previous decades purely because we are “looking” for them. However, this does not explain the increase in hydro-meteorological, or weather-related, disasters. In 1980, about 100 of these disasters were reported. Since 2000, only 20 years later, the number of hydrometeorological disasters nearly tripled to about 300. Clearly, the need for disaster relief is more than just a valid facet of disaster response. Relief demands increasing amounts of money as climate change produces more dramatic and more destructive natural disasters — something Romney feels the government has no purpose in. The same Republican presidential candidate that made a “moral” decision to stop campaigning out of respect for Sandy, is the candidate that wishes to disregard the magnitude and effects of similar storms with the mentality that it’s “their job, not ours.” Frankly, I think Romney’s refresher course in morals is long overdue. How ironic that Romney can claim morality in tentatively stopping campaigning for Sandy, yet claim that it is immoral to help these people as president. Recovery, Gov. Romney, can’t be done alone.
he Electoral College is the friend of every elected president. Each candidate strives for 270 out of the 538 available electoral votes. The amount each state has to give is determined by the two senators plus the number of House members. In the case of Illinois, that equates to 20 votes. It is mainly because of the Electoral College that swing states exist. The election comes down to a few key states instead of who is the more popular candidate among the entire country. Illinois is generally a blue state — hence a lack of presidential campaigning here, while states like Ohio and Florida find campaigning to be commonplace. But what happens if the candidates fall short of the coveted 270 votes? What if they for instance, tie at 269 votes? Then it becomes Congress’s turn to pick the president. What does that mean for Americans? Romney-Biden 2012. No, this is not some sort of mistake. This is possible — highly unlikely — but still very possible. In the case that the Electoral College fails to elect a president, the House steps up to the plate and elects the president. Then, to balance power, the Senate elects the vice president. All thanks to the 12th amendment to the Constitution. And yes, there have been instances where the vote has fallen upon Congress before — just not recently. So why would this equate to Romney-Biden? Currently, Congress is split. The House is controlled by the Republicans and the Senate is controlled by the Democrats. If today, everyone were to vote along party lines, Gov. Romney would take the House and Vice President Biden would take the Senate. Even if there was a tie in the Senate, a 50-50 split, the president of the senate gets the final say. And who has that honor? The current vice president. But those currently in Congress are not the ones who would be able to vote. That honor would fall upon the 113th United States Congress which meets in January 2013. And with just how close some Congressional races are, this could equate to a flip in either the House or the Senate. Or both. So yes, don’t worry. Obama-Ryan is also a possibility. So why should you care about this? Because, in this hypothetical case, who we vote for in our local elections this year can play a larger role than ever before. Imagine waking up on the morning of the first meeting of the 113th Congressional session. The first vote on the table: Vote for the next president of the United States. Madness would ensue. Whoever has a majority will win the vote because it would most likely follow party lines. Not to would be seen as outrage to each party. This makes voting in local elections even more important. Races like Illinois’ 13th (which includes Champaign-Urbana) or 10th Congressional districts could help flip the House to Democratic control. And on the flip side, close races like Nevada could flip the Democrat-controlled Senate red. This then causes people to once again question: Should we get rid of the Electoral College? A survey conducted by Gallup in 2011 seems to indicate that many Americans think we should. With most Americans against the system, why is it still in place? Why has it not been at least altered? Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) has proposed an interesting amendment to the constitution. What if the candidate who won the popular vote were to automatically gain 29 electoral votes? The number is not exactly arbitrary. It is the average number of electoral votes given to the most populous state, California at 55 and the minimum amount of votes a state can have, three. A change like this might end the disfranchisement of non-swing states. People might feel the need to vote more because they will feel their vote means more. That just may drive up voter participation — something this country desperately needs. But, that might lead to even more expensive campaigns and candidates clearly trying to buy votes. I am sure that would go over splendidly. If this election is as close as the national polls and media suggest, we just may end up with a Romney-Biden administration. And then, no one wins — except that just might kick-start a change in the Electoral College. Because if that doesn’t do it, nothing probably will.

Strict party loyalty hurts nation ANDREW HORTON Opinions columnist
We
are all familiar with the issues — high unemployment, soaring gas prices and people struggling to make ends meet. This election we hope to choose the right presidential candidate who will solve all these problems. Unfortunately, looking at the ballot, the correct choice is likely none of those above. I say “likely” because it is possible for the next elected president to have the necessary impact, but it would require him to do something that is completely unprecedented. That something, I believe, would be upon entering office, immediately relinquishing all of his party affiliations. The reason for this is simple: Our nation is divided, and we need someone who can bring it back together. Many scholars agree that our democracy is more polarized now than it has been at anytime in our history since the Civil War. A president who is willing to reach across the aisle is not enough anymore. We need a president who will wheel his chair into Congress and sit in the aisle. On last Sunday’s edition of 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley visited the town of Asheboro, North Carolina — a town that has been severely shaken by the turbulent eco-
nomic times. The message from the residents was clear: They have lost faith in the government. When asked what he thought about the presidential candidates, one of the residents responded, “I’ve lost confidence in all of them. ... I don’t even know if I’ll vote.” And why should he? If you don’t feel that any particular candidate is going to do anything about the issues you care about, then voting is a waste of time. The main reason for this distrust comes from the fact that all political campaigns are governed by money. The Supreme Court’s ruling in the Citizens United case has enabled countless undisclosed donors to give unlimited money to candidates through the use of super PACs. Thus, when candidates are elected, their allegiance is to the people who are funding their political careers, not to the American public. We need a president who will leave special interests along with party loyalty behind. Of course, doing so would be political suicide, and that is why it’s so unlikely that we will see anyone take such a bold step. But the need persists. We have seen echoes of progress through the recent rise of third parties. However, what we need are individuals to lead, not someone from another party. That is why the only way for American politics to be put back on the right track is to have one of these individuals emerge from a mainstream party and publicly disman-
tle the current system from the inside out. Any president with the guts to stand in front of the American people and formally renounce all ties to the corruptive elements that are plaguing our nation would instantly become the greatest hero of modern democracy. I would think that this kind of legacy would be the dream of any politician. Considering that anyone running for president is well off financially and at or near the end of their political career anyway, why not go out with a bang? Thinking of it in this way almost gives me hope that our democracy is on the verge of a revolution. But then reality sets in, which reminds me that money and influence have such strong ties with our political parties that it would be almost inconceivable to have a president commit such a large scale betrayal. There is still hope for change, but it will likely have to come from us. As long as we continue to squabble along party lines formed by money, we will continue to have a polarized and unproductive government. On the other hand, if we make it overwhelmingly clear that we are fed up with division and demand leadership that governs with a collaborative and universal ideology, then perhaps the leader we need will answer the call.

Recovery requires federal aid ADAM HUSKA Opinions columnist
If
Katrina taught us anything, it’s to never underestimate the power of Mother Nature. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina plummeted through Florida, Louisiana and much of the Southeast, causing roughly $100 billion worth of damage in the process — the costliest hurricane in U.S. history. With Hurricane Sandy, the number one priority is recovery — a feat Gov. Mitt Romney seems to believe can be solved by a twitch of his nose. Romney emphasized in a 2011 GOP debate that disaster relief should be managed on the state level, limiting the role of federal grants. If Romney’s approach to disaster relief were enacted during Hurricane Sandy, what would the East Coast look like? Let’s use Romney’s lens to create a better picture. New York and New Jersey were projected to be the states hit the hardest from day one. However, neither state is unfamiliar with hurricanes. In August 2011, Hurricane Irene made landfall in both states, causing $19 billion worth of destruction. As states located in a geographical area are more prone to hurricanes, a state without the help of the federal government cannot handle the unexpected onslaught of a superstorm. For example, we can’t expect the entire $10 billion in damages done to New York’s transportation infrastructure to be settled by the state alone, especially not with all the other damages done to New York City and the rest of the state. In all of the cuts Romney would make in his proposed budget, disaster relief for storms like this are not exempt: To pare down domestic spending, Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) budget could be
cut drastically. Romney would prefer that some of the federal money for disaster relief be given to the states to let them handle it by themselves, with the NGOs and private money helping out along the way. This is how Romney sees it through his foggy lens when he said this during a 2011 GOP primary: “We cannot afford (disaster relief) without jeopardizing the future for our kids. It is simply immoral, in my view, for us to continue to rack up larger and larger debts and pass them on to our kids.” So, Gov. Romney, are you saying that it is more immoral for the federal government to provide necessary relief than it is to sit and do nothing, while hundreds of thousands are without power? The money that the states cannot makeup then is expected to come from NGOs like the Red Cross, religious organizations like the Salvation Army and private donations. The thing is, Gov. Romney, natural disasters in the United States are 100 percent inevitable, and so is their damage. If the purpose of ending federal disaster relief is to lower the federal deficit, I’m still not moved. Essentially, this may look like it’s relieving the deficit, but it will just project back onto individual states. They will be forced to reassess their budgets and allocations and develop local initiatives and policies to make up lost federal money. States will be forced to reduce their spending to compensate for the loss of federal money in areas of high importance such as state education and health care that also promote jobs and business growth. Seems ironic that a proclaimed “business guru” would push for a policy that would take away from, well, business. Even though Obama proposed cutting FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund from $7.1 billion to $6.1 billion, the cuts are still far smaller than what the Romney-Ryan ticket proposes. Still, it has been quite a stormy

HONEYBEES FROM PAGE 6A gets to be too cold and the resources are too low for the honeybees to be functioning properly for our research, and we ... transition into more laboratory, molecular work.” In the winter, most of the colonies are kept outside, and the bees naturally go into a hibernationlike state, keeping close together and vibrating their bodies to survive the cold. Two of the colonies are brought indoors for any further fieldwork in the winter, but these “winter bees” tend to act differently than “summer bees.” As a result, the winter and summer data may not always be consistent. Researchers in Robinson’s lab therefore learn to do both fieldwork with the bees outside and molecular work inside in the laboratory.

Theater troupe gives students a chance to bring plays to life BY SARAH SOENKE STAFF WRITER
Within two months, a student playwright can workshop their script, cast their play and see it come to life in front of a live audience. On such a large campus, this may seem like a daunting task, especially for non-theater majors. But the Penny Dreadful Players, or PDP, make it possible. The PDP is a student-run theater organization on campus that specifically encourages original work by student playwrights. The theater troupe welcomes all who are interested in acting, writing, directing, producing and working in tech. And with the organization’s 20th anniversary celebration last month, it is the oldest student-run theater troupe at the University. “We get to meet a lot of new people, which is probably my favorite part,” said Haley Jenkins, managing director of the organization and senior in LAS. “From all majors, from all age ranges, from freshmen to seniors, people that have never acted before to people that have been acting their whole lives ... This is something that can bring all those people together, which is pretty cool.” Throughout the year, the PDP puts on three annual festivals to help encourage students to write and get involved in the organization. In October, the PDP showcased a selection of 10-minute shorts written and performed by students. In the spring, the PDP collaborates with the New Revels Players and What You Will Shakespeare Company, two other theater troupes on campus, to put on a charity show, Jenkins said. Their second spring festival is

length plays, the troupe also puts on established works, with two opening in November. This Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., they will perform the “Laramie Project,” a drama based on the true story of the kidnapping, beating and death of Matthew Shepard. On Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, they will perform the “The Boys Next Door,” a comedy on four handicapped men living together with their caretaker. For both plays, the PDP will perform at the University Place Christian Church and tickets will be sold at the door for $5. Molly McAndrew, publicity coordinator for the PDP and senior in LAS, views the organization as a family and considers her involvement as a learning experience. She talked about the annual awards show the PDP put on to recognize the achievements of the group. “We have our fake Tonys at the end of year — we call them the Pennys because of the Penny Dreadful Players — and we go to this nice big banquet and we get dressed up and act like we’re big shots, but really, I’m sure the restaurant hates us,” McAndrew laughed. “Basically, it’s one of those things (where) we recap everything that happened ... It’s a

the most profitable of the year, Jenkins said. But McAndrew found it most rewarding for other reasons. Writing and directing a selfmade play can be a lot of fun, but also stressful, McAndrew said. The PDP offer several workshops for writers to draft and shape their plays. Once approved by the PDP’s Board of Directors, students are able to control their work to any degree or let other students direct or produce the play. Ultimately, McAndrew enjoyed writing and directing “All the Queen’s Men,” and was “very happy with it,” she said. “You go to a college campus of about 40,000, and what are the odds of you doing something that makes some sort of splash? But when you get to put up a show that you know 145 people are going to see in the course of two nights, that’s really something kind of special,” McAndrew said. “I don’t think that I would have had the opportunity to put up a fulllength show that I had written if it wasn’t for a group like PDP on campus. It was great that I had that opportunity.”

PEOPLE TO KNOW
UI sophomore off to NASA internship soon BY HANNAH BOLLMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
As a child, Grace Walsh, sophomore in Business, never imagined she would earn an internship with NASA. Walsh, who is a double major in supply chain management and marketing, will head to Houston, Texas in January to participate in the prestigious Johnson Space Center Pathways Intern Employment Program. The program is open to both undergraduate and graduate students and offers work experience that can range from aerospace engineering to business. According to the program’s website, approximately 160 students from 50 participating universities are chosen for the program. While attending a campus business fair in January, Walsh noticed NASA’s booth and decided to ask about their internship opportunities. The leadership qualities and take-charge personality that Walsh has become known for allowed her to pursue this program, according to John Hedeman, former assistant dean for Honors in the College of Business. “I met Grace three years ago, when she was a senior in high school,” Hedeman said. “She impressed me, so I gave her my business card, which I do to many students I meet, and told her to stop by my office when she got on campus. She was in my office the fi rst week of class. She had the ambition and confidence to approach NASA as a business student, and snatched up the opportunity that was presented to her.” Hedeman, who retired last spring, attributes Walsh’s success as a student and ability to take advantage of opportunities to hard work and a “bubbly” personality. “Grace has always been a people-person. She loves communicating and expressing herself, whether it be through art, writing or speaking,” said Neera Walsh, Grace’s mother.

Walsh said her interest in the “new and growing field” of supply chain management developed because she can associate an actual product to her efforts. “I like that I will be able to actually see the effects of my work. I will be improving the efficiency of a business and helping cut costs,” she explained. Walsh said the strong family community of the organization and that she is a “people-person” made the NASA internship much more appealing than others. “NASA is always innovating and seems as though it would be such an exciting place to work,” Walsh explained. “I am always open to new experiences, but I think moving to Houston, as opposed to staying here at U of I, which is sort of an expansion of home, will prepare me to move anywhere for a job in the future.” Walsh said she is excited to move forward on her own merits in the new environment. She will work in procurement during the spring 2013 semester, work in fi nance the following summer and will choose a department to work in for her third semester with NASA. Her mother and father, Neera
and Tom Walsh, said Grace’s continuous hard work academically has prepared her for this position. Grace goes further to credit her preparation to leadership skills gained through the University. “I rushed the professional business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi fi rst semester of my freshman year,” Walsh said. “From the organization, I learned how to hold myself in a professional manner and how to conduct myself for a good interview.” Though Walsh will not be on campus during the spring semester, she still plans to fi nish her required classes to graduate with the rest of the class of 2015. Walsh’s parents said that she and her family are more than ready for the world of NASA, and Grace said that she is even more excited to represent the Illini family in Houston. “I will be given an orange and blue identification lanyard, so I will always have a bit of the University with me,” Grace added, with a bright smile. “Houston better be ready, because I’m coming.”

Students at Bee Research Facility study social systems, processes of honeybees BY REEMA ABI-AKAR STAFF WRITER
M
atthew McNeill has been stung by bees numerous times in the past two years. There will surely be many more unpleasant stings in his future, yet this doesn’t quell his interest and enthusiasm for what he loves to do. McNeill is a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Illinois Honeybee Research Facility, which has been in existence for 22 years and is located at 3515 S. Lincoln Ave. He received his doctorate in neuroscience from the University of Iowa, and has been a part of the research team since January of 2010. “When I was (considering) a postdoc position as I was finishing my Ph.D., I was looking for labs that were interested in looking at the genetics behind complex behaviors,” McNeill said. “When I talked with Gene and read papers that came out of Gene’s lab, I was very interested in the kinds of things they were finding.” The Bee Research Lab is headed
by Gene Robinson and contains about 65 colonies of bees. Robinson was the director of the neuroscience program for 10 years, from 2001 until 2011, when he took the position of interim director of the Institute for Genomic Biology. This year, the directorship position has become permanent and keeps him busy, along with the responsibilities of the bee lab. There are currently 32 members of Robinson’s team, made up of postdoctoral associates, graduate students, undergraduate research assistants and lab personnel. Jonathan Massey, senior in LAS studying entomology, has been an undergraduate research assistant since he was a freshman. “I decided to (join Robinson’s lab) because I actually read a book called ‘The Communication among Social Bees,’” Massey said. “And I just liked the idea of studying insect behavior.” His freshman year, Massey took a honeybee-keeping class taught by Professor Alex Wild, which hadn’t been offered at the University for

30 years. Massey had never worked with bees before then, but he was interested in starting. Now, Massey plans to continue until he graduates at the end of this school year. The lab focuses predominantly on honeybees because they are considered to be a social organism. Robinson’s group studies Apis mellifera, the Western honeybee. The way that the colony functions is through multifaceted, interconnected social means — not simply a monarchy headed by the queen. This societal complexity allows the lab members to research social systems and processes within the organisms. Currently, Robinson and his team are studying how genes influence social behavior, how the social environment affects brain gene expression and the general evolution of bee society. Some comparison studies are also conducted with Drosophila melanogaster, a species of fruit fly, to help the team understand the bee processes better and to relate the bee research to other species. “We work hands-on with honeybees,” Massey said. “We do the fieldwork, but once August approaches, it

Volleyball falls to Purdue in 5 sets NCAA Tourney hopes dimming, Illini have lost 4 straight matches
Wolverine Invite highlights fall full of struggles
BY DANIEL MILLER-MCLEMORE
BY ALEX ORTIZ
STAFF WRITER
In need of a crucial home win Wednesday night, the Illinois volleyball team’s straits became ever more dire, as it fell to No. 22 Purdue 24-26, 25-20, 25-21, 20-25, 9-15. It was the Illini’s fourth consecutive loss, sixth five-set loss of the season and second five-set loss to Purdue (17-7, 8-5 Big Ten). The defeat drops Illinois to 10-13 (4-9) and leaves it needing wins in six of their final seven games to have a chance of reaching the NCAA tournament (teams must be over .500 to be eligible). “We had moments where like we’ve been saying all season, where we can see we’re good,” libero Jennifer Beltran said. “But what really matters is the very last point and we definitely didn’t step up to the plate how we should have.” While the match was tightly contested the whole way, Illinois led for the majority of the first three sets. The tone for the match was set early, with 15 ties and five lead changes during the first set. Up 23-21, Illinois appeared to put itself in position to get rolling with a first-set win. But Purdue reeled off three-straight points to steal the set, with middle blocker Anna Drewry powering home the final kill to seal it. Illinois battled back to take the second and third sets in similar fashion. In both sets, the Illini slowly gained an advantage as the set went on. Unlike in the first set, though, they were able to hold on in both the second and the third and putting them one set away from righting the ship. On a two-set win streak, Illinois seemed poised to roll to victory in the fourth set. They came out flat, though, and Purdue ran away with the set; Catherine Rebarchak notched her 15th kill of the match on set point, to send it to the decisive fifth set. During the break, Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly implored his players to believe in themselves, a challenge after losing so many close matches this season. “I think a lot of that has to do with just confidence and being in those situations and not prevailing in the last several weeks,” Hambly said. “It’s hard to have confidence.” Hambly’s words didn’t produce results, how-

Richardson looks to return to form in senior season Guard takes advantage of fresh start with coaches to improve BY ETHAN ASOFSKY SENIOR WRITER
CHONG JIANG THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois' D.J. Richardson shoots a 3-pointer during the exhibition game against Lewis University at Assembly Hall on Oct. 27.
D.J. Richardson isn’t blind to the world around him. He knows he hasn’t lived up to expectations since winning Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2009-10. In fact, Richardson’s career has largely paralleled the team’s disappointing results over the past two seasons, and he’s admitted to getting frustrated and acting immature. But in the early part of this season, Richardson has drawn possibly the highest praise of any player on the roster. Illini basketball coach John Groce said the senior guard has graded out the highest in preseason practices, and assistant coach Jamall Walker said Richardson is the most coachable player on the team. All of that has a tendency to sound like preseason Kool-Aid, but if there is some encouragement that Richardson might have uncovered something to trend his career upward, it’s his honesty. “I don’t think I really developed like I should have or needed to,” the senior guard said at Illinois basketball media day on Oct. 10. “I kind of went down. I kind of took some steps backward, but this is my last year. I kind of feel like where I’m at now, how I’ve been playing, this is kind of where I should have
been at my sophomore year.” Richardson built a reputation from behind the arc in his first season at Illinois — shooting 39 percent from three and averaging 10.5 points per game — but his averages steadily declined over the past two seasons, lowering to 35 percent on 3-point attempts last season. But last year was particularly difficult for Richardson because of a high fracture in his wrist that left him physically unable to shoot for part of the season. He was left in games for his defensive value, but opposing coaches would tell their players to “scoot back” because he was no longer seen as a threat on offense. “His confidence probably dwindled but not his motivation,” said Marcus Fair, Richardson’s uncle and mentor. “He was always growing up used to being the star player, the best player through grade school and high school. It was an adjustment. Part of that is understanding there’s more things you can to do to help your teams win.” Common misconception would say Richardson was a lights-out shooter in high school, but he was actually a slasher, whose No. 38 national ranking (according to Rivals) as a recruit was built mostly off his knack for getting to the basket. When he arrived
at Illinois, his surprising 3-point accuracy was seen as his greatest asset and that became a role he couldn’t shake. “There’s times in the season where I thought I was doing pretty good and I lost a little confidence,” Richardson said. “I just had to play my role. My role now has to be a lot more than just shooting. It’s going to happen in my senior year. It’s going to help the team, and also help my future career too.” When the new Illini basketball staff arrived in Champaign, it was time to reevaluate Richardson’s game. Walker was given the assignment, but he wanted Richardson to take ownership of his development. Instead of watching film, he asked Richardson what areas he felt he could improve, and Walker got an honest answer. “Last year, being a one-dimensional player, being a shooter and a defender, I couldn’t shoot,” Richardson said. “Teams guarded me and sat back in the lane, basically trying to let me shoot.” Walker and Groce saw the same thing. They mapped out a plan to transform Richardson’s game. Two-thirds of his halfhour individual workouts over the summer were spent on ball handling so he’d have the freedom to attack the basket more, thus opening up his shot and forcing defenders to play off of him. Walker introduced the advantage drill — a pad drill so Rich-

Through five tournaments, the Illinois women’s golf team has had its share of struggles. In three of those competitions, the team has finished either last or second to last. Still, the team does have a few bright spots to build off of. “Going into the fall, we knew it was going to be a season of transition given the fact that four of our starting five from last season graduated,” head coach Renee Slone said. “Transition is not a smooth process and we experienced many bumps along the way.“ The first invitational took place at the Colonel Wollenberg’s Ram Classic on Sept. 10-11 in Colorado, where the team finished 16th in a field of 17. Samantha Postillion produced the team’s best individual performance with a 13-over-par 229 for the tournament, which earned her a ranking of 39th overall. Next up was the Dale McNamara Invitational in Broken Arrow, Okla., on Sept. 17-18, as the team placed 14th at the 15-team tournament and saw a slight improvement. Postillion yet again paced the Illini with her 10-over-par 226, and this time her score tied her for 30th individually. At the next tournament, the Wolverine Invitational in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Sept. 22-23, the team had its best showing of the season by far, tying for third place out of 14 teams. Junior Ember Schuldt and sophomore Michelle Mayer pulled off the two best individual performances. Both shot a 9-over-par 232, which were good for tying for sixth individually. Their best rounds both came in the third round, with Mayer shooting a 3-over-par 74 and Schuldt shooting a 1-over-par 72. Postillion also continued her progress as she shot a 20-over-par 233, which put her in 12th place. On Oct. 13-14, the team then hit a bump in the road at the Hoosier Invitational in Florence, Ind., where they put up scores of 309 and 304 for its first two rounds, which placed them at fifth place after Day One. But a third round of 325 on Day Two dropped the team into a tie for eighth place. Postillion yet again led the team with a 20th-place finish of 15-overpar 231. Finally, two weeks later, the Illini travelled to Austin, Texas, for the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational. The team had its best round all season breaking 300 as a team on Day Three of the competition for the first time this season. Sophomore Pimploy Thirati had her career-best round with a 1-under-par 72 and tied for 37th individually. Still, the team finished in last place and now looks forward to its winter break. “Through the experiences, the team has been able to learn, grow and improve,” Slone said. “This is a sign of things to come in the spring and provides the team with a huge boost of confidence heading into the offseason.”

Illini soccer uses overtime, penalty kicks for comeback win over Golden Gophers BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER
In the 10th minute of Wednesday’s quarterfinal match of the Big Ten Tournament, the piercing sound of a whistle was heard and a red card was drawn from the pocket of a referee. A Minnesota player had successfully blown past the last Illinois defender on her way toward the goal. In an attempt to regain possession, Illinois freshman Amy Feher tripped the forward inside the 18-yard box. Minnesota was awarded a penalty kick, which sophomore Taylor Uhl converted for her 20th goal of the season. Not only did the red card allow the Gophers to take the
1-0 lead, but it also forced the Illini to compete with 10 players on the field. After another Minnesota goal, Illinois scored two unanswered tallies to force extra time before winning on penalty kicks 3-2 to advance to Friday’s semifinal matchup. “Our team has so much heart and is able to face adversity and (Wednesday) was really special,” senior Niki Read said. “It makes you enjoy it more when you do pull off wins like this because a win 5-0 would be wonderful, but when you win games like this, it pulls you closer together as a team and makes you realize how important each other are.” In the 20th minute, fresh-
man midfielder Aliina Weykamp recorded her first goal of the season after a free kick from junior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo bounced over the charging keeper. Weykamp was able to come in from behind and fire it into the back of the net. “She got in on several attacks before the goal and was a spark of energy,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “She came in today and said, ‘Hey, I want to make a difference,’ and it showed with the fight and scrap in the box to get that goal. It was that goal that got us believing, and it was that goal that got them doubting whether or not just having 11 men was going to be enough of a difference.”
The second half started with back-and-forth possessions until the 65th minute when Read recorded her third goal in her last three games. The duo of DiBernardo and Read worked to the Illini’s advantage once again, tying the score 2-2 at the end of the 90-minute regulation period. “Our forwards had been working so hard throughout the game, and I think that they were focusing on our front-runners,” Read said. “When I saw that opening, V (DiBernardo) just gave me the perfect ball.” Heading into overtime was nothing new for Illinois, but this time the team was shorthanded. For the second year in
a row, Illinois would be battling for its place in the semifinals via penalty kicks. With senior Steph Panozzo in the goal for the Illini, the confidence remained high after the end of double overtime. “I trust her and know that she is going to come up big for us in games like this,” freshman Nicole Breece said. “I had no doubt that she was going to have some big saves today and going into PKs, I was 100 percent confident in her and knew that she could win us the game.” Panozzo did just that, making a critical diving save to her left against Minnesota’s second kicker, Marissa Price. Next was Minnesota junior MacKenzie
Misel, whose shot hit the post. Finally, sophomore Taylor Wodnick’s shot went wide. Illinois sealed a bid to take on the tournament’s No. 1 seed, Penn State, with the three missed attempts. “I don’t know how else to describe this performance except heart with a capital H-EA-R-T,” Rayfield said. “This will be one of the games that will go down in the record books, not because it was a penalty kick win, but because of the way it happened and the inch-hurdle fortitude this team showed to make it happen.”

Illini Hockey from in-state, beyond Out-of-state players adjust to the Midwest BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER
Our state. Our team. The new slogan for Illinois’ Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is a call to action for Illinois to be the dominant school of the state, as well as to attract incoming recruits to stay loyal to their state school. The hockey team does an exceptional job of representing the slogan, with 24 of its 28 players hailing from the Land of Lincoln. While forward Jon Langan and defenseman JT Turner come from neighboring states — Wisconsin and Indiana, respectively — the other two are outliers on the map. Senior defenseman Kent Kovalsky’s hometown is Philadelphia , while sophomore forward Mario Pacheco is from San Jose, Calif. Kovalsky is the old man on the team; he’ll turn 25 next March and has plenty of hockey experience. He played three years of junior hockey in the EJHL with the Capital District Selects before coming to Illinois in 2009. Kovalsky made a minimal impact in his fi rst two years, appearing in just seven games, but has found a role on this year’s team. Playing in 11 games, Kovalsky has just two assists but has served the traditional hockey role of the enforcer, picking up team highs in both penalties (13) and penalty minutes (37). Coming from blue - collar Philadelphia, there are parallels with his roots while on the ice. “Yeah, you could say that,” Kovalsky said. “My size got me into that. Since I was 16, I was over 6 feet, so even the older kids would try and mess with me.” His teammates have come to rely on Kovalsky to protect them, namely goaltender Nick Clarke, and make sure opponents think twice before entering the crease during games. One tough aspect Kovalsky has learned to deal with in his Illinois career is the fact that his
parents can only see him play “once a month or so.” In addition to the distance from his home, the lifestyle in Champaign was a change. “It was a little different my freshman year,” Kovalsky said. “I had never been to the Midwest, so the culture was different for sure than the East Coast.” The main cultural difference, both Kovalsky and Pacheco noted, was that people in Champaign are nicer than their respective hometowns. “The people are so nice here, very welcoming,” Pacheco said. On the ice, however, the pair both added that the playing style is pretty much the same anywhere across the country. “You could replace them with any of the guys from back home and it’d be the same,” Pacheco said. Some of the Midwest’s culture is starting to rub off on Pacheco, as he’s become a “converted Blackhawks fan” thanks to the large majority of his teammates, in addition to his San Jose Sharks from back home. He hasn’t fully assimilated to the region just yet, as he still says he would prefer In-N-Out Burger to Steak ‘N Shake any time. Although a sophomore in academic standing, he is in his fi rst year with the team. He’s played in all but one game and has netted three goals and one assist thus far. Pacheco got off to a hot start in the beginning of the year, scoring a goal on successive Saturdays in the fi rst two weekend matchups against Michigan State and John Carroll . The sophomore also has to deal with the strain of distance from his family but has learned to manage it. His mother made one trip to Champaign near the beginning of the year, and his parents regularly tune into WPGU for the games. Pacheco said he and his parents talk almost every day. For both players, their hometowns mean little on the ice, but off of it, the duo has adjusted to life in the Midwest just fi ne.

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois head coach Matt Bollant applauds his team’s performance during the 89-37 Illini win against Marian at Assembly Hall on Tuesday.
Bollant works to fill women’s basketball roster BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER
When “Oskee Wow Wow” erupted from the women’s basketball band Tuesday night, 1,145 Illini faithful at Assembly Hall raised to their feet. The cheerleaders ran in, waving the giant Block I school flags, but only eight Illinois women’s basketball players sprinted onto the court after them. Head coach Matt Bollant received 11 scholarship players and one recruit when he accepted the job at Illinois on March 28. The number of players was reduced to 10 when junior Alexis Burke transferred to Rutgers and Centrese McGee transferred to DePaul. Transfers Sarah Hartwell from Georgia Tech and Cassie Dumoulin from Elgin Community College have already been added by the coaching staff, but, with Adrienne GodBold academically ineligible and Kierra Morris and Nia Oden injured, the Illini only dressed eight for Tuesday’s exhibition.
Bollant expects Oden to be back for Illinois’ second and final exhibition game on Tuesday, but the team will still dress six less than the 15 scholarships players it is allowed. Bollant is in the process of building depth at Illinois. He already has six commitments in the 2013 class to replace seniors GodBold and Karisma Penn. Bollant also said another walk-on may join the team in the coming weeks. Of the six commits, four are from Illinois and inside the “fivehour radius” that Bollant said he likes to recruit at his introductory news conference. The two other commits are Taylor Gleason from Goodrich, Mich., and Mikaala Shackelford from Minnetonka, Minn. None of the six recruits are ranked among the top-100 by either Blue Star Basketball or ESPN, although Blue Star ranks Illinois commitments Jacqueline Grant of Maine South High School, as the No. 108 high school senior in the country,
and Bolingbrook High School’s Kennedy Cattenhead No. 165. Morton High School’s Sarah Livingston , the younger sister of NBA player Shaun Livingston , and Chicago Marist High School’s Leah Bolton round out the class. Law had success recruiting, highlighted by the No. 3 recruiting class in the country in 2009. Bollant showed that recruiting rankings don’t mean everything when his less-heralded recruits took down Illinois 82-62 last season. “A few years ago, the junior class came out of high school as the No. 3 recruiting class in the country,” Bollant said. “How does Green Bay, where the best we’ve ever had is No. 55, how do we beat that team by 20 points?” Bollant said the current roster is more athletic than his players were at Green Bay, and he plans to take advantage of it. “Coming out of high school, we couldn’t get those players to visit Green Bay,” Bollant said in March. Bollant said he expects recruit-
ing will be easier at Illinois. “At Green Bay, we struggled to beat out the Big Ten,” Bollant said. “We could beat them on the basketball court, but, because of the academics, because of the campus, we couldn’t beat them out in recruiting.” “The academic piece is so good at Illinois, that’s a huge thing for us,” Bollant said Thursday. “At Green Bay, we never got a kid because of the academic piece there.” He said he has already been able to reap the benefits Illinois has to offer. “Already we’ve beaten DePaul on three different kids,” Bollant said. “We beat Oklahoma State on a kid. We’ve gotten kids over other Big Ten schools already. Your first year is your hardest year recruiting, and we’re beating a lot of BCS schools out for kids, and that’s a great sign for the future.”

Illinois wrestling enters season with high ranking, expectations Defending Big Ten champion Gonzalez leads returning Illini BY DAN BERNSTEIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
CHONG JIANG THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Justin DuVernois (18) punts the ball against Penn State, held at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 29. The Nittany Lions defeated the Illini 35-7.
Special teams unit seeks turnaround in return game Unit’s coach Salem, Illini players look for solutions BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois football team held open tryouts in practice this week to fi ll the void of punt and kick returner. Defensive back Tommy Davis was benched after muffi ng another punt this past Saturday against Indiana, and the job is now up for grabs. Head coach Tim Beckman announced Monday that either Darius Millines or Terry Hawthorne would take over the return duties, but it appears the Illini are going to weigh all their options before they make a decision. Special teams was the one thing that was supposed to get better under the new Illinois coaching staff. Beckman’s staff mandates that defensive starters also spend some time on special teams. Defensive tackle Akeem Spence is seen as one of the leaders of Illinois’ special teams unit. Last year, the Illini struggled to punt the ball deep and never had a true punter through the season. That’s improved as the Illini will enter Saturday’s game in fi rst place in the Big Ten in punting averaging 39 yards per punt, behind the leg of Justin DuVernois. Where the Illini have struggled is in punt returning, which special teams coach Tim Salem just can’t figure out why. His reputation from Central Florida precedes itself. In 2011,
UCF had one of the top kickoff return units in the nation, and a Knights player has been a fi rstteam all-Conference USA pick as a kick returner three of the past four years. Salem has kept the same blocking scheme as he’s always used and is puzzled as to why it’s not working at Illinois. He thought he’d spent enough time in the spring and in August to get the Illini past their struggles. They’ve fi nished last in the Big Ten the past three seasons in punt returns. And they’re also last this year, averaging a mere 1.8 yards per return. He’s joked that he’s losing weight too — like Beckman — trying to figure out the solution. “It takes 11 guys to play,” Salem said. “If 10 guys do it right and one guy does it wrong, it can screw the whole play up. You can go back and watch the video clips of our returns, I mean it’s just always one guy and it’s not the same guy. ... It’s always just one guy who blew an assignment.” Salem has made changes and adjustments every week in the blocking schemes and admitted that open-field blocking may be one of the Illini’s weaknesses. “No. 1 (priority) is just making sure you field the ball, and every time the ball hits the ground, you just lessen your chance of winning,” Salem said. “Obviously, we’ve
had a few muffed punts, we’ve fumbled and turned the ball over in critical games, critical situations and gave up fi eld position. The return game is not up to par.” However, Salem was quick to defend Davis and his intensity as a competitor on the football field. The coaches have chalked up his mistakes to trying too hard to create a spark for Illinois. Salem echoed Beckman when he said Davis feels worse than anyone else on the team about his ineffectiveness as returner. 02.The Illini aren’t exactly sure who will be returning punts from Ohio State on Saturday, assuming the Buckeyes are forced to punt. Salem wasn’t too keen on the idea of using two punt returners deep because it takes away a blocker from the line of scrimmage. However, he said it’s in the playbook and the Illini used the two-man punt returner against Louisiana Tech earlier this year, mostly because Illinois saw on fi lm that the Bulldogs’ punter sprayed the ball all over the field. Salem said the Illini have come out in practice eager to get the special team’s woes corrected, which he was pleased to see because special teams practice in late October isn’t exactly what gets most teams fi red up. “We’re spending time and giving it some due diligence,” Salem said. “The problem is it’s not showing up in the results, and that is the bottom line. Saturday is what counts.”

As the Illinois wrestling team heads into its fourth year under coach Jim Heffernan, expectations for this season have been raised. The Illini will be led by 201112 Big Ten champion Mario Gonzalez (197 pounds), as well as four returning All-Americans in Jesse Delgado (125), B.J. Futrell (141), Conrad Polz (165) and Jordan Blanton (174). The Big Ten is known as one of the toughest conferences in the country, and the 2012-13 season is no different. Five of the top-six nationally ranked teams hail from the conference, including No. 1-ranked Minnesota. Heffernan expects a lot out of his No. 6-ranked team this season. “For us, it’s a matter of
competing with the best teams in the Big Ten, and those are the best teams in the country,” Heffernan said. In many sports, holding a high ranking puts a lot of pressure on the favorite, motivating the opponent to play up to its competition. Heffernan said his athletes know what to expect from opponents. “I think with what we did last year and what we have coming back, I think everybody kind of has an idea anyway of what to expect,” Heffernan. “The earlyseason ranking doesn’t mean a whole heck of a lot, it’s kind of what you do.” Wins will determine how good this team really is, not the preseason ranking. Redshirt freshman Caleb Ervin (149), who was a threetime state champion in Kentucky and led his high school to a national championship in 2009, will be replacing Eric Terrazas. “We all think very highly of him and are expecting big
things from him,” Heffernan said. “He’s an exciting kid to watch wrestle. He gets in crazy positions, scores a lot of points and I think he’ll fit right in.” Redsh i r t ju nior Tony Dallago (184) will also be a key component on this year’s team after fi nishing 12th at the NCAA championships last season. Finishing last season strong has motivated Dallago to perform even better this year. “I mean, the goal is to become a national champion, everybody has that,” Dallago said. “But I want to be able to do really well as a team and do really well individually.” Dallago is looking forward to getting the season underway this weekend. “I mean, it’s the Big Ten, so pretty much every team is going to be pretty tough,” he said. “But we just have to go out every match and pretty much wrestle and win.”

NAM Y. HUH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler (6) talks with offensive coordinator Mike Tice on the sidelines against the Detroit Lions in Chicago on Oct. 22.
Chicago needs more than Cutler, Marshall BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears’ offense has been anything but a balancing act. The Bears know they’ll have to do more than have quarterback Jay Cutler throw to wide receiver Brandon Marshall repeatedly if they’re going to handle a handful of strong defenses in the second half of the season, starting with Tennessee on Sunday. Still, they’re not willing to abandon their offensive star. “We’re like the (Minnesota) Timberwolves when Kevin Garnett was playing,” Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice said. “All their offensive plays went through him and in our passing game obviously we’re going to go through Brandon.
“So he’s going to be the first read or an early read a lot of the times and there are other plays where we design to have a read on both sides and the coverage dictates which way the quarterback is going with the football.” When the Bears acquired Marshall in the offseason, the plan wasn’t to use him as a decoy. They’ve followed through on that as the only game in which Marshall caught fewer than five passes was in a loss to Green Bay when he had two receptions for 24 yards. “When you have a defi nite ‘one,’ you want to make sure you get your ‘one receiver; his reps, his plays, his passes, which we are doing,” coach Lovie Smith said. “But we defi nitely want to
get others involved.” However, it hasn’t exactly been a rush to the end zone even if Marshall and Cutler are piling up statistics. The two have been at their best in clutch situations. Marshall leads the NFC in third-down receptions (16) and yardage (675), while Cutler leads the NFL with a fourth-quarter passer rating of 132.0. The most important figures are point production. The Bears’ offense — excluding defensive scoring — is averaging 20.1 points per game. That’s down from the 21.9 points per game the offense scored last season in 10 games when Cutler didn’t have Marshall to throw to and Mike Martz was offensive coordinator.

T
he three worst defensive teams in the NFL are the Titans, Bills and the Saints. On average, each defense allows more than 420 yards per game and 30 points per game. It’s almost embarrassing. So with all three teams in action this week, it’s time to prey on the weak. The Titans face off with the Bears, the Bills play the Texans and the Saints have a Monday night contest with the Eagles. Let’s start with the Bears. Matt Forte (running back, Bears) — If healthy, Forte is a muststart guy every week anyway, so don’t change your approach now. But against the pitiful Titans, Forte may have his first breakout performance of 2012. He’s been solid, sure — about 20 touches and 100 yards per game — but he’s not a candidate for any postseason fantasy awards. That is, unless he whips Tennessee, finds the end zone a few
Next up: Houston Texans Houston scored 43 points against the Baltimore defense its last time out. Now the Texans are coming off a bye week against not the Baltimore defense. Expect them to score 94. Arian Foster (running back, Texans) — Obvious. He’s the best running back in fantasy. He has been for the past few years. You

in opposing defenses and fantasy owners. Andy Reid rubbed his belly with delight in those days. And now Vick is back! (Actually ... probably not. I don’t think he’s back. I just think he’ll have a big game this week. He’ll probably be on the Eagles bench by November’s end. Fun!) DeSean Jackson, LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin (flex, Eagles) — All three of these guys are supposed to be fast, dynamic and ready to break loose for a 93-yard touchdown at any moment. All three players, this year, are garbage. Those are the facts. And that is why, if you have any of these three players, you should start them this week. Best-case scenario: they explode, as they should, against a terrible Saints defense. Worstcase scenario: they bust, you realize that if they can’t even produce against New Orleans, they aren’t going to produce against anyone, and you try to trade them while you still can. Week Nine is a barometer week for the Eagles speedsters.

don’t need me telling you this. Play him every week. Andre Johnson (wide receiver, Texans) — A few years ago, I’d say about Johnson what I said about Foster, but times have changed. Johnson is not a must-start every week. He hasn’t had a 100-yard game since Week One. He has only two touchdowns. But he still is Andre Johnson, so a big game is always in the cards. But it hasn’t happened yet. This may be that big game. I hope so. The fantasy world is more fun with a dominant No. 80. Owen Daniels (tight end, Texans) — It’s an easy equation. With four touchdowns in his past five games, Daniels has a knack for the end zone. With 32.4 points allowed per game, the Bills defense has a knack for letting people in its end zone. Solution: Daniels gets in the end zone.
times and rides the momentum until season’s end. Then, maybe a fantasy award. Maybe. Brandon Marshall (wide receiver, Bears) — I understand NFL trades about as much as I understand Yiddish. How could the Dolphins trade Marshall to the Bears for two third-round picks? Do the Dolphins think they’ll find even one comparable player with a third-round pick? This is always how NFL trades go, but I just don’t get it. The Bears robbed Miami clean when they got Marshall. He’s a stud and he’s on fire — 461 yards and three touchdowns in his last four games. Expect his recent hot streak to continue against the Titans.
VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE 1B ever, as the Boilermakers jetted to a 5-0 lead behind two more kills from Rebarchak. Disliking his team’s play and searching for a spark, Hambly inserted freshman setter Alexis Viliunas, continuing the setter shuffl ing he began last weekend in losses to Wisconsin and Minnesota. With Viliunas, the Illini were momentarily rejuvenated, taking the next three points. But the lead proved insurmountable despite Hambly reinsert-

Illinois got as close as 11-8, but two consecutive errors sunk them into a deeper hole at 13-8. One fi nal error, this time when middle blocker Anna Dorn hit the net on match point, doomed the Illini, and they fell 15-9. The loss was devastating for an Illinois team scratching and clawing for every win it can get. “It’s one we needed to get, for sure,” Hambly said. “Every loss, our backs are closer to the wall.”

approaches the game,” said Fair, who speaks to his nephew about once a week during the season and three to four days a week in the off-season. “You can’t go blaming other people. You can’t blame coaches. You can’t blame teammates. Sometimes, you have to look in the mirror at yourself and you have to say what are some of the things you could do different. ... He needed to learn how to listen better to the coach. You need to be able to provide whatever they need even if you don’t like it or don’t really agree with it. It doesn’t really matter. That’s what the coach wants you to do. We had to teach him how to be a better listener.” Richardson was the prime example of a shooter that lost his confidence, and in basketball, that can be a death wish. The new coaching staff has revived that confidence. The senior said he’s playing the best basketball of his life, and his game is completely different. He’s gained weight, adapted to the new system, earned the respect of his coaches, learned how to create his own shot and assumed the role of team captain after learning on the job from last year’s lone senior Sam Maniscalco. Richardson may not have developed the way he wanted to through his fi rst three years, but he’s confident yet again that will change this season. He’s talked to former Illini legends Kenny Battle, Kendall Gill, Dee Brown and Stephen Bardo about their time in college, and he believes he know holds the cards to leave a similar legacy. “I just went through struggles. I was getting frustrated. I was young,” Richardson said. “I hear from a lot of players who played here at the University of Illinois that ‘I wish I could come back and play basketball for one more year, two more years.’ Just from me hearing that from guys, even legends that played here, it’s just amazing. It speaks to how much I need to take advantage of my senior year.”

Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte reacts after scoring a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Bears defeated the Panthers 23-22 on a field goal as time expired. The fantasy doctor thinks Forte will have a big week against a weak Titans defense.
ardson could get used to contact in the lane — where the senior dribbled through cones and changed speeds while Walker bumped him with a mat to try and throw off his lines. “A lot of times in basketball, the guy who can get faster to the spot from point A to point B makes things happen,” Walker said. “You don’t need to have ‘AND1 Mixtape’ ball handling to get to where you want to be. We want to go straight lines. We want to play in straight lines.
