Dems criticize clerk’s policy on mail-in registration ‘Grace period’ policy treats voters equally, Hulten says BY MATT RICE STAFF WRITER

Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten’s handling of the “grace period” of voter registration has drawn criticism from local Democrats. In a press conference Thursday morning, state Sen. Michael Frerichs, D-52; state Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, D-103; and county clerk candidate and Urbana Alderman Charlie Smyth, Ward 1, voiced their disagreement with the Republican’s policy of mailing voter registration documents to voters’ addresses instead of allowing voters to fill in all the necessary forms in person. This policy for grace period registration, or voter registration that occurs after the Oct. 9 deadline, gives county clerks discretion in how they register voters. Frerichs said he thinks Hulten’s policy of mailing registration forms instead of completing the process on-site is intended to prevent voter fraud, but it has made voting more difficult. “I applaud efforts to stop voter fraud, but if suppressing voter fraud means for the very few cases that are out there, there will be scores of people turned away. I don’t think that’s the right thing to do,” Frerichs said. Hulten, however, dismisses claims that his decision suppresses voting as “misinformation.” He said claims about the way he conducts the process are false because “we mail out the application and the ballot on the same day,” which he said is the same process he uses for all residents, even before the grace period. “This is not about preventing voter fraud; it’s about treating someone who registers in October the same as someone who registers in July,” Hulten said. Also in attendance was David Collier, a man from Maryland who recently moved to Urbana and was not allowed to register

Dave Skudin empties his home of household items destroyed by flooding from Superstorm Sandy on Thursday in Long Beach, N.Y. Three days after Sandy slammed the mid-Atlantic and the Northeast, New York and New Jersey struggled to get back on their feet, the U.S. death toll climbed to more than 80. The American Red Cross Club at Illinois will support Sandy disaster relief efforts beginning Friday.

Red Cross aids in Sandy relief »

Local affiliate group gives campus chance to assist BY LAURA SHAY AND EMILY THORNTON DAYTIME ASSISTANT EDITORS

The American Red Cross Club at the University will support Hurricane Sandy disaster relief efforts beginning Friday. Members of the American Red Cross Club will collect monetary donations on the Quad from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day until Wednesday. In addition to donations, the public can help disaster relief efforts through donating blood. According to a Red Cross news release, Hurricane Sandy has already led to the cancellation of about 300

blood drives in affected areas, a loss of up to 10,500 blood and platelet products. Vaneitta Goines, director of the Office of Volunteer Programs, also stressed the importance of blood donations following a disaster of this kind. Goines mentioned that it is often not possible to collect blood quickly enough in the areas affected by events such as Sandy to meet the need due to injuries sustained by local residents. The Red Cross is asking for financial donations to “help the Red Cross provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance to those

affected by disasters like Hurricane Sandy,” according to the release. Financial donations can be sent to local chapters of the Red Cross in addition to the American Red Cross. The central Illinois chapter, based in Peoria and Champaign, is also looking to aid in relief efforts. “We are getting a few new volunteers that we are training, many of our volunteers are deploying, and we are also accepting monetary donations,” said Jamie Davis, emergency services coordinator for the chapter. Davis went on to say that the donations also contribute to jumpstarting the economy in these devastated areas. Goines said Red Cross chapters closer to affected areas are able to provide items that are difficult and expensive to ship, such as nonperishable food items.

“Cash donations are easier and more financially effective,” Goines said. As of Tuesday night, the Red Cross had more than 2,300 disaster workers serving meals and nearly 200 emergency response vehicles throughout the affected communities distributing meals, water and snacks. To donate, visit redcross.com, text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation or send a donation to your local Red Cross chapter.

Student senator proposes inclusive integrity statement Resolution would cover entire UI community BY CORINNE RUFF STAFF WRITER

In the wake of several scandals at the University over the past year, a student initiative is trying to combat the depreciation of ethics and integrity on campus. “Scandals are a distraction,” said Illinois Student Senator Keenan Kassar, senior in Business. “Our true goal is to have superior academics. We cannot veer off of that or it will affect our academics and our budget.” Kassar founded the registered student organization Students for a Better Illinois, through which he launched a proposal for the creation of a comprehensive integrity statement, inclusive of all students, faculty, administrators and staff. Kassar wrote a resolution for the Illinois Student Senate to propose the idea to campus administration, which passed at the senate’s meeting

The Main Library is hosting a Veterans Day exhibit which aims to showcase the history of the University of Illinois and their commitment to the United States military. The exhibit highlights veterans who are alumni of the University and promotes the resources available on campus through the Veteran Students Support Services.

The exhibit consists of archived records and pictures of the University’s military connections as well as donated materials from student and alumni veterans and from veterans in the local community. “We asked student veterans if they were willing to donate

long-term items,” Osborne said. “Other people in the community heard about the project and wanted to participate.” He said he’s received unit patches and rank insignias from numerous veterans on campus and in the local area. One student donated his Purple Heart and damaged uniform from serving in Afghanistan. Students can help create a shared awareness of support by

Wednesday. He believes having the University create such a statement would establish fi rm priorities with regards to integrity and set a standard for a “U of I way.” Shravan Gupta , sophomore in Engineering, helped Kassar start Students for a Better Illinois in fall 2011. Gupta said currently, students must adhere to academic integrity through the student code, but there is no statement for faculty, administration and staff. “As students we care about our integrity statements, but there is nothing all-inclusive,” he said. “Nothing applies to all levels of governance and includes (everyone) from students up to the president, holding them accountable for everything they do.” Carey Hawkins-Ash , student senator and graduate student, is a sponsor of the proposal and helped to revise the document. He said he hopes to see a state-

ment representing the best of the University. “Our campus should have an integrity statement because it sets forth our University position and the reputation of the institution,” he said. “The way I see it is the statement is a declaration to the world of the highest values of the Illinois.” Brock Gebhardt, student body president, said a few other Big Ten universities already have similar statements in place, including Purdue and Ohio State universities. “We’re bettering campus by making sure our university is one that strongly observes integrity and demonstrates a commitment on a regular basis,” he said. “We want to be in line with our peers and demonstrate our commitment to being the university that exemplifies integrity.” With the support of the student senate, Kassar plans to present his proposal to the UrbanaChampaign Senate in the coming months, urging Chancellor Phyllis Wise to appoint a committee to write the statement.

Campus damage creates problem for community BY ILYA GUREVIC STAFF WRITER

Recent incidents of property damage have marred the appearance of local buildings and drained time, money and resources. Over the past year, the Champaign Police Department investigated 14 cases of vandalism to Campustown establishments, according to an email from Champaign police spokeswoman Rene Dunn. Meanwhile, 53 incidents of vandalism to University buildings have been reported to University police over the past 10 months, according to an email from Sharon Lawrence, chief clerk of the University police. A recent case of vandalism took place Oct. 21 at Hometown Pantry, 601 E. Green St. According to a police report and manager Jignesh Panchal, an intoxicated University student head-butted the glass door of the building multiple times around 2:30 a.m., causing the glass to crack. Panchal said the cost of replacing the glass is around $300, which may be his to pay because his insurance deductible is $500. A legal process seeking restitution from the responsible student was still under way as of Oct. 29. Although Panchal said most students have been respectful to him and his business, he said the cracked glass “doesn’t look good at all.” Nonetheless, some business owners take the vandalism in stride. “When you do business, there are inherent risks,” said Garth Ries, managing franchise owner of three Penn Station East Coast Subs locations. He said the front window of the Campustown location was found shattered Oct. 3. University police Capt. Roy Acree said many, if not most, of the offenders in criminal dam-

age to state-supported property are related to students who have been drinking. He said causing damage to University property over $300 is a felony, and regardless of the magnitude of the incident, the Office for Student Confl ict Resolution receives the police report in order to determine consequences for the student. Several Campustown business owners have had experience with intoxicated students causing damage. “Every incident that I can ever remember had to do with drunk students,” said Matt Mortenson, owner of Zorba’s. Patrick Grady, general manager of Silver Mine Subs, recalled the case of a student who broke his front window but said he understands that incidents happen. “We’ve seen the person since, and he’s been nothing but good,” Grady said. “It was a late night, and he was half-drunk and he wasn’t thinking clearly when he made his choice.” Brian Farber, director of the Office for Student Confl ict Resolution, said his unit takes action on situations that involve students on a case-by-case basis. “(The students) will have to meet with a disciplinary offi cer,” Farber said. “Whether or not the damage was incidental or purposeful ... whether or not the person is intoxicated, whether or not they failed to comply with police ... (and) whether this was an area someone wasn’t even supposed to be in ... can contribute to what the response will be.” Many business owners, however, see such incidents as the cost of doing business. “It’s unfortunately the nature of the beast of being on campus,” Grady said.

Candidate opposes abortion, even in cases of ‘rape thing’ BY MIKE BAKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLY M PIA, Wash. — A Republica n congressiona l candidate says abortion should not be legal, even when it involves “the rape thing,” according to audio provided Wednesday to The Associated Press. An activist working on behalf of liberal group FUSE Washington asked questions of Republican hopeful John Koster during a fundraiser Sunday. Koster said he does not oppose abortion when the life of the mother is in danger but then explains he would oppose it when it involves rape or incest. Koster twice uses the phrase “the rape thing” when describing his views, first saying that he knows a woman who was raped and gave up the child for adoption without any regrets. “But on the rape thing, it’s like, how does putting more violence onto a woman’s body and taking the life of an innocent child that’s a consequence of this crime, how does that make it better?” Koster said in the exchange. Koster’s campaign manager, Larry Stickney, says the candidate has long been a proponent of dealing strongly with sex offenders. He noted that Koster worked in the state legislature on legislation to crack down on sex offenders and has daughters of his own.

“To imply that he’s cavalier about the issue is preposterous,” Stickney said. Koster is locked in a competitive House race against Democrat Suzan DelBene. Republicans have been beleaguered this year by comments about rape that some have deemed offensive. Rep. Todd Akin, R-Mo., who is challenging Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, said women’s bodies have ways of avoiding pregnancy in cases of “legitimate rape.” More recently, Indiana GOP candidate Richard Mourdock has been criticized for saying that pregnancy resulting from rape is God’s will. Collin Jergens, a spokesman at FUSE Washington, said one of the group’s activists went to the fundraiser to ask Koster about the issue of abortion. Democrats have been trying to portray Koster as out of touch with the district, which stretches from areas east of Seattle to the border with Canada, and they have focused particularly on his stance on social issues. Sara Kiesler, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest, said the Koster’s remarks are proof that he shouldn’t be involved in a woman’s decision about her pregnancy. “My gut reaction was that rape is violence, and that rape is a crime, and that his choice of words diminishes that violence,” Kiesler said.

This photo provided by the U.S. Air Force shows an aerial view of the roller coaster from the Seaside Heights amusement park on the New Jersey shore submerged in surf. By late Tuesday, the winds and flooding inflicted by the fast-weakening superstorm Sandy had subsided, leaving at least 55 people dead along the Atlantic Coast and splintering beachfront homes and boardwalks from the mid-Atlantic states to southern New England.

New Jersey looks to rebuild after Sandy Planners consider how to prevent damage in future BY GEOFF MULVIHILL AND MARYCLAIRE DALE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONG BEACH TOWNSHIP, N.J. — In its tear of destruction, the megastorm Sandy left parts of New Jersey’s beloved shore in tatters, sweeping away beaches, homes, boardwalks and amusement parks. The devastation left the state a blank canvas to redevelop its prized vacation towns. But environmentalists and shoreline planners urged the state to think about how — and if — to redevelop the shoreline as it faces an even greater threat of extreme weather. “The next 50 to 100 years are going to be very different than what we’ve seen in the past 50 years,” said S. Jeffress Williams, a scientist emeritus at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Woods Hole Science Center in Massachusetts. The sea level is rising fast, and destructive storms are occurring more frequently, said Williams, who expects things to get even worse. He and other shoreline advocates say the state should consider how to protect coastal areas from furious storms when they rebuild it, such as relocating homes and businesses farther from the shore, building more seawalls and keeping sand dunes high. How to rebuild after the disaster is becoming an issue even as New Jersey assesses its damage. The state’s death toll from Sandy climbed to at least 14 while

1.7 million customers remained without electricity Thursday and earth-moving equipment made its way for the first time to hardhit barrier island communities. In some coastal towns, residents were getting their fi rst look at the damage, but they were being barred from checking out their property on barrier islands. Most passenger trains were still suspended and lines were long at gas pumps across the state. But there were some steps toward normalcy: State government offices and many schools reopened Thursday, and most New Jersey Transit bus routes resumed service. The state’s main focus was at the storied Jersey Shore, where houses were thrown from their foundations and parks and beaches were in ruins. In his evening briefing Wednesday, Gov. Chris Christie reiterated that he wants to rebuild. “I don’t believe in a state like ours, where the Jersey Shore is such a part of life, that you just pick up and walk away,” he said. But the governor said homeowners in hard-hit areas should decide for themselves whether they want to rebuild or sell their property to the state for conservation. New Jersey has a program to buy flood-prone homes, but it’s mostly been used for inland flood plains, not the shore. The government, the Republican governor said, should not decide where rebuilding is and isn’t allowed. On Thursday, state Department of Environmental

Protection spokesman Larry Hajna said he expects building standards to be updated, as they have been after other major storms. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, disagreed with Christie, saying that rebuilding after Sandy should include new ways to prevent damage from future hurricanes and storms. Shoreline advocates say there are three ways to protect the shore from extreme weather: build more jetties and seawalls, keep beaches replenished and relocate homes and businesses. The physical solutions can help protect homes and roads but also cut off access to the beaches or water. New Jersey is known for having a lot of protective barriers. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it’s also moved more than 65 million cubic yards of sand for replenishment projects in New Jersey. The state government has done additional projects without federal assistance. Environmentalists say moving sand can cause harm to the areas it’s moved from and might not be a good match for its new location. The supply of usable sand also is limited, they say. “It’s like a bad drug habit,” said Chad Nelsen, the environmental director of the Surfrider Foundation, a national organization dedicated to preserving beaches and oceans. “Once you start, you can’t stop.” Still, it seems to work. Some residents on Long Beach Island on Wednesday credited high dunes and wide beaches built as part of replenishment efforts there for keeping destruction from being even worse. The northern barrier island that suffered the worst damage

from Sandy is the longest developed stretch of New Jersey’s 127mile coastline without the help of federal replenishment projects. The federal government pays for much of the beach protection programs. Including state and local contributions, shore protection programs with federal involvement from Manasquan to Cape May have cost taxpayers $475 million since 1988. The state has a $25 million-per-year beach protection fund, much of which goes toward the federal projects, but some goes to other measures. Peter Kasabach, executive director of the planning advocacy group New Jersey Future, says subsidies that encourage rebuilding as things were, including federal flood insurance, are problematic. “We’ve built in places that we shouldn’t have built and now those places are becoming even more hazardous and more expensive to stay in,” he said. “As we grow and develop, we should make sure we don’t continue to invest in those places.” He suggested bans on building in some sensitive beach areas, or requirements that homes be built farther from the ocean. The Surfrider Foundation’s Nelsen said he hopes that New Jersey communities at least consider rebuilding in different places, which he said has never been done on a large scale in a U.S. oceanfront. “We’re about to spend some ungodly sum of money to restore the coast,” he said. “Let’s make sure we spent it wisely.”

Man arrested for Washington bombing plot BY DENISE LAVOIE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — A Massachusetts man was sentenced Thursday to 17 years in prison in a plot to fly remote-controlled model planes packed with explosives into the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol. Rezwan Ferdaus, 27, of Ashland, Mass., pleaded guilty in July to attempting to provide material support to terrorists and attempting to damage and destroy federal buildings with an explosive. As part of a plea agreement between prosecutors and Ferdaus’ attorney, both sides agreed to recommend the 17-year sentence. Ferdaus, a Muslim-American who grew up in Massachusetts

GRACE PERIOD FROM PAGE 1A and vote same-day. Collier said he may have been “disenfranchised,” and he doesn’t understand why he has to receive and return documents through the mail with so little time left until Election Day. “The most frustrating thing is the extra steps,” Collier said after the conference. “I don’t know what (Hulten’s) reasoning is. I just know he’s making it very difficult on me.” Hulten defends his registration record and said he has concerns of his own about the intentions of his critics, such as Smyth, who is running against Hulten. “We had a voter registration drive that led to 144,000 registered voters in Champaign county, which broke the previous record by about 17,000, and we’ve opened early voting all over Champaign county, including one at the Illini Union,” he said. “It’s silly to say, five days before the election, that we’re trying to prevent people from voting. It’s just politics,

and has a physics degree from Northeastern University, delivered a long, soft-spoken statement in which he offered no apology for his actions but thanked his family and friends for supporting him. He said he has accepted his fate and “can dream of a brighter future.” Ferdaus did not make any direct anti-American statements, but he did refer to “a world filled with injustices.” “Who other than God knows best what it takes to make a good human being,” he said. Ferdaus was arrested last year after federal employees posing as members of al-Qaida delivered materials he requested, including grenades, machine guns and

plastic explosives. Authorities have said the public was never in danger because the explosives were always under the control of federal agents. Prosecutors have said Ferdaus began planning a holy war against the United States in 2010 after becoming convinced by seeing jihadi websites and videos that said America is evil. Prosecutors say he approached a government informant at a mosque in December 2010 and later met with undercover agents to discuss a plot. Prosecutors said Ferdaus also wanted to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan using improvised explosive devices detonated by

modified cellphones. Counterterrorism experts and model-aircraft enthusiasts have said it would be nearly impossible to inflict large-scale damage using model planes. The defense had suggested that the FBI ignored signs of mental illness in Ferdaus while investigating him. During a bail hearing last year, an FBI agent acknowledged that Ferdaus told undercover agents that he was anxious and depressed and having “intrusive thoughts” in the months before his arrest. After he was sentenced, his lawyer, Miriam Conrad, said Ferdaus was being treated by a psychiatrist for depression in August 2011.

and, frankly, it’s disgusting.” During the conference, Jakobsson and Frerichs announced their intent to pass legislation to fill what they claim is a “loophole” in Illinois election law that gives county clerks too much discretion in conducting grace period registration. The current process allows Illinois residents who missed the Oct. 9 voter registration deadline to register by Nov. 3. “We do allow some flexibility in the law because of the diversity of our state, but I doubt the intention of that flexibility was to allow some county clerks to allow sameday voting and others to have to go back and forth through the mail,” Frerichs said. After the conference, Smyth said allowing same-day voting would be one of his policies if elected, but Hulten was less specific. “I agree with Frerichs and Jakobsson that we need to do something to fix the grace period law, and I look forward to working with them after the election,” Hulten said.

VETERANS DAY

dates from 1867, when the University was fi rst established, to the present. It showcases dates in the University’s history that are affiliated with the military and features pictures of the University and veteran alumni. Many units and organizations, such as the College of Applied Health and Sciences and the Illinois Army National Guard, are recognized on the timeline for their support and contribution to the exhibit. The Veterans Day Exhibit is sponsored by the University Archives, Veteran Student Support Services and Naval ROTC. ROTC will host a Veterans Day Tri-Service Ceremony at the Armory on Nov. 11, Osborne said. Afterward, the Champaign County rotary clubs will host a Veterans Day One-on-One Appreciation Dinner at the Hilton Garden Inn, 1501 S. Neil St.

University should continue sexual health practices that propelled it to top spot in annual Trojan rankings

TA’LES LOVE Opinions columnist

N

ot only is the University ranked No. 1 in its civil engineering, library and information science, and biological and agricultural engineering, it’s got another ranking all of its own — we are also on top of the sexual health rankings. And what a pleasure it is for us to have ranked as such. Two weeks ago, Trojan Condoms released its seventh annual Sexual Health Report Card for 2012, which ranks the overall sexual health and availability of sexual health resources of 141 universities across the country. Trojan uses data compiled by Sperling’s BestPlaces, a website that ranks locations for people to live, retire, go to school or work, using data generated from several different government sources or think tanks. The methodology for the rank includes evaluations of the student health centers on campus, regarding their hours of operation, condom and contraceptive availability, education, HIV and STI testing, and website usability. Using that, the University has ranked somewhere in the top 20 or 30 percent of schools surveyed, except 2010 when we were sandwiched in the middle of the pack. The University has been dedicated to promoting sexual health for students, through the Oasis in the basement of the Illini Union and the resources available at McKinley Health Center, which include speedy testing and free condoms to those who want them. The most relieving part of this study for us is that it shows a willingness for the University to acknowledge that sex is a part of the college experience. Without the proper resources, students will experiment, but with them, they will experiment safely. Especially at a school where alcohol and partying are so prevalent, safe sexual practices and good health are essential. In the first months on campus, ACE IT and FYCARE introduce students to the sexual culture they will inevitably find in their first semester — a responsible move, given the alternative is to simply ignore it altogether. Even if administrators or those at McKinley don’t agree with or condone students’ sexual activity, it’s bold of them to still support awareness, health and education. While we are pleased that the University’s efforts have been recognized, we are cautious in accepting the title. For one, we are not quite sure if what we have for sexual health resources and education is the best it could be, albeit it is, as the report showed, the best of those surveyed. Creating a more prevalent culture of safe sexual practices could still be improved, although the availability of condoms and contraceptives are above what we would expect. But quite frankly, given our experience at this school, we’re not sure we truly deserve the title: The ranking, despite our No. 2 spot in 2011, is still a bit surprising. At first glance, a university like ours may seem to blatantly disregard sexual health, but a closer look would seem to reveal that students do care. While there’s no way to quantify that perception, experience serves the observation well. We can only hope that we continue to hold onto the top position and realize that we can continue to better what the University and its students already do.

programs that support them. Evidence of this decline can be seen even within our government. The 2013 budget for Illinois includes a 9.4 percent deduction in funding to the Illinois Arts Council. The Arts Council advocates for companies, after school programs and individual artists to promote arts education to the people of Illinois. Through government funding, the council is able to preserve and encourage culture, something that society is beginning to value less as fewer and fewer people are making the arts a priority. Even at the local level, the University’s arts programs don’t get as much attention as they should because they seem to exist at an underground level and rarely surface into the mainstream focus of the campus. One reason for this may be because art performances don’t generate as much interest as sporting events do, indicating what our society values more. I have been on both sides of the curtain as the performer and the audience member, and I can truly say there is nothing more thrilling than knowing there is a theatre full of people watching you. On the other hand, being a part of the audience, feeling the performers’ every emotion, watching beads of sweat slide down their faces is an intoxicating experience that is unlike anything else. You may never know this feeling unless you sit in front of a stage or stand in front of a painting and feel the power of the art form melt onto you. Leave the video games at home, pause the YouTube video and choose to be a part of life, to be a part of art.

two separate instances in the past week, students from Rice University and Washington State University have been subject to alcohol poisoning. Currently the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission are investigating an annual party on the Rice University campus in which 11 students ended up in the hospital due to alcohol poisoning. In another incident, a Washington State University freshman who was subject to alcohol poisoning was found dead in his dorm room last weekend. The majority of these students were underage. For a while, there has been much controversy over the legal drinking age: Some feel that it should be lowered from 21 to 18. The reality for many young adults, especially those on college campuses, is that the consumption of alcohol and introduction to drinking culture is all too familiar long before they reach the age of 21. Many are introduced to drinking as early as middle school. And while the age limit is set to prevent incidents like those that took place at WSU and Rice, the current law is clearly not effective. On this campus in particular, events and holidays such as Homecoming, Halloween and Unofficial — which is not supported or condoned by the University — inevitably encourages students to participate in a drinking culture. While participation in drinking is heightened during these times, let us remember that the opportunity is always knocking on the doors of students. After all, a person only has to be 19 to enter the local bars in Campustown. Many similar scenarios play out on college campuses around the country, and they even affect many middle schools and high schools. It seems as if the legal drinking age is not hindering or suppressing the issue of underage drinking. In fact, many of our problems might be reduced if the age was lowered to 18. This is an infamous case of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t.” Although the age is set to help control the negative effects of underage drinking, it just seems to have no benefit. And while it is thought someone who is 21 will drink more responsibly, this is also seemingly untrue. In the most recent fact sheet on annual college drinking consequences from collegedrinkingprevention.gov, it was noted that over 3 million college students between the ages of 18 and 24 drive under the influence of alcohol, and nearly 600,000 are unintentionally injured while intoxicated. The report also mentioned that nearly 2,000 students die from alcohol related incidents. The buck did not stop there. To think that drinking related problems are stifled by the drinking limit of 21 is not true, just like it’s not necessarily true to think that drinking is uncommon amongst those as young as 12. The 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that of youth between the ages of 12 to 20, nearly 25 percent of them drink alcohol. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that excessive alcohol consumption results in more than 4,700 deaths of underage drinkers each year. A high legal drinking age is not suppressing the issue of underage drinking, but encouraging this behavior. People tend to desire what is considered taboo and if the drinking age is lowered to 18, many young adults will not have to sneak to drink, thus preventing obnoxious consumption. The excitement and thrill of breaking the rules causes some to go overboard, which results in incidents like those at Rice and WSU. What many fail to realize is that the age of these young students is not what causes these problems, but the lack of insufficient knowledge and improper handling of alcohol. While many argue that lowering the drinking age will cause more damage and alcohol related incidents, age is not a real deterrent to drinking. In fact, lawmakers and parents — the latter being the most important — should strive to put more emphasis on alcohol education and properly teaching youth not only about the dangers and consequences of drinking, but how to do so safely and responsibly. While parents and lawmakers would probably prefer that young people not drink at all, it is not realistic. Instead of beating them over the head with consequences, proper education about safe alcohol use will allow drinkers to practice safe consumption when they do decide to drink. Because let’s face it, people are going to continue to drink whether they are over 21 or 12. In the end, it is neither age nor law which makes a person responsible, but it is instead up to the individual themselves.

Letters to the Editor

Opinions on contraception; Gill a good candidate Both men, women qualified to rule on contraception This letter is a response to the column “Men should’t rule women’s bodies,” published in the Oct. 18, 2012, edition of The Daily Illini. Mr. Huska asks, “How can anyone take ... middle-aged, nearlybalding men voting on women’s birth control seriously?” Apparently, legislation should only concern itself with what relates to middle-aged, balding men. Congress is already unproductive — imagine if they worked under Huska’s conditions for debate; I wonder, if these same follically-challenged men had voiced opposition to H.R.1, would Mr. Huska have considered their perspective impaired? Mr. Huska later passes judgment on Georgetown University denying coverage of contraception to a student. He seems to be discrediting the university’s capacity to distinguish between contraception “for contraception” versus contraception for “noncontraceptive” purposes. I don’t know if he is saying they needed young, fully-haired women to decide the outcome? He goes on to write that there is “a reoccurring theme here: men as the “experts” on women’s reproductive health.” Mr. Huska seems to be knowledgeable on women’s health injustices. Thankfully, he’s not middle-aged, nor balding, but is a man — two criteria shy of being incapable of making sound reproductive health judgments for women. Good thing he didn’t write this article 15 years from now, or else

he’d be impossible to trust. He then rebukes the name-calling of contraceptive-using women as “sluts.” I didn’t read the whole text for H.R.1, but because I missed this one, it must have been in section 1810. He seems to be implying here that it’s unjust for Viagra to be covered but not contraceptives under these religiously-motivated insurance providers. Assuming Mr. Huska has researched the health and relational benefits of utilizing natural means of contraception, then he is certainly entitled to his opinion. I agree with his sentiment that religion can’t tell me what to do with my body, so, if women own their own bodies, then what about men? Do we own ours too? Mr. Huska writes, “A woman’s body is owned by her, not a religious institution.” When do women and men start owning their bodies and not have to be told what to do (i.e. live or die)? I thought Mr. Huska left one on a tee when he says: “Women as childbearers means that they must care for more than just one body,” supporting their unborn kiddo. Or was that supposed to be a qualified statement? MICHAEL SCHAEFER, graduate student in agricultural and biological engineering

Gill a good candidate despite negative ads When one of my sons first served in Iraq, I attended a campaign

event for Dr. David Gill. He urged the end of the Iraq War, and voiced his concern about the sacrifices being made by our servicemen and women. This comment was one of the reasons that I was initially attracted to his congressional campaign. We have three loved ones in the military and care about many others who are also serving. I am especially thankful for Dr. Gill’s continued advocacy for meeting the needs of our troops, veterans and military families. Even though our country has been at war for so long, this is a part of the population forgotten by many. In addition, I am also impressed by Dr. Gill’s positions on the other important issues described on his website. Do not be fooled by all the false and negative ads being circulated about Dr. Gill. These don’t at all describe the person I have come to know. Since 2004, I have witnessed firsthand how hard David Gill works and have seen the strength of his commitment to serve the residents of our district, even in spite of great personal challenges. I have the highest respect for his intelligence, integrity, and dedication. If elected, Dr. David Gill will work tirelessly to represent the best interests of the people of Illinois’ 13th Congressional District. I am proud to cast my vote for such an honorable man. Please join me in supporting him. PEGGY KOVACIC, Urbana resident

Decline of the modern audience: The lost cultural skill of interacting with art KATE CULLEN Opinions columnist

T

he audience settles into their seats, finishing last-minute conversations as music begins to play softly in the background. Performers nervously move around backstage, hidden by the black curtains, impatiently awaiting their entrance onstage. Darkness slowly encloses the theater and blankets the audience in a dim shadow. The audience is electrified with anticipation as the curtains slowly creep open and the show begins. As the audience becomes engaged with the show that enfolds before their eyes it is clear that they, along with the performers, play a key role in creating the quintessential ambiance that exists in any theatrical or performance production. Unfortunately, the rows of seats in theatres are becoming increasingly empty. In today’s fast-paced society, many do not take the time to go out and see a musical or visit an art museum because other events take precedence over such activities. People would rather get their dose of culture instantly by watching a three-minute clip of someone singing or dancing on YouTube than by going to the theater and becoming completely immersed in the experience. But watching something on TV or on YouTube isn’t experiencing art in its entirety. You’re not gaining a real sense of culture from merely sitting in front of a screen because it takes away the raw

sense of emotion that is innate to all performances or art pieces — it takes away the aspect of human contact. When you sit in the audience of a performance, you become part of the show because you are an active participant in the production. You respond subconsciously, through a simple applause or gasp of breath when you watch something, be it a movie or a play. But unlike a movie, the live performers feed off of that energy, reacting to the responses of the audience. When you watch a performance onstage, something is being created before you, and you get to watch as the dancers or actors construct a story before your eyes. When you see a performance on YouTube, the experience is simply a plastic recreation — no matter how many times you watch it, it never changes. You’re still the viewer, they are still the performer, but you can’t participate in it like you would if you were there. Any relationship developed here is artificial. Screen removes the role of the audience completely. When you go to the movies, the actors have already made the singular story for you. Viewers have been conditioned to react to certain movie genres: They laugh during romantic comedies and cringe during horror films. But I guarantee that few have been taught how to react to a dancer elegantly elevating her leg above her head or a singer holding a note for just a second longer than anyone thought was possible. That’s emotion. That’s art. And you get to see it firsthand. Without this conditioning, we see less emphasis on the cultural significance of the arts and the

Suspected smugglers abandon Jeep at border Tuesday, Border Patrol spokesman Spencer Tippets said. The vehicle was perched about five miles west of the Colorado River and the Arizona state line. Two smugglers on the Mexican side of the border were try-

The terrain in western Arizona and eastern California has little vegetation and is much less rugged than the land in southeastern Arizona, so smugglers have a harder time making it into the U.S. without being spotted.

Bionic leg faces 1st test in the public eye Task will involve climbing 103 flights at Chicago’s Willis Tower BY CARLA K. JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Zac Vawter considers himself a test pilot. After losing his right leg in a motorcycle accident, the 31-year-old software engineer signed up to become a research subject, helping to test a trailblazing prosthetic leg that’s controlled by his thoughts. He will put this groundbreaking bionic leg to the ultimate test Sunday when he attempts to climb 103 flights of stairs to the top of Chicago’s Willis Tower, one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers. If all goes well, he’ll make history with the bionic leg’s public debut. His whirring, robotic leg will respond to electrical impulses from muscles in his hamstring. Vawter will think, “Climb stairs,” and the motors, belts and chains in his leg will synchronize the movements of its ankle and knee. Vawter hopes to make it to the top in an hour, longer than it would’ve taken before his amputation, less time than it would take with his normal prosthetic leg — or, as he calls it, his “dumb” leg. A team of researchers will be cheering him on and noting the smart leg’s performance. When

Zac Vawter, fitted with an experimental “bionic” leg, walks on the Ledge at the Willis Tower in Chicago on Oct. 25. Vawter goes home to Yelm, Wash., where he lives with his wife and two children, the experimental leg will stay behind in Chicago. Researchers will continue to refi ne its steering. Taking it to the market is still years away. Bionic — or thought-controlled — prosthetic arms have been available for a few years, thanks to pioneering work done at the Rehabilitation Institute. With leg amputees outnumbering people who have lost arms and hands, the Chicago researchers are focusing more on lower limbs. Safety is important. If a bionic hand fails, a person drops a glass of water. If a bionic leg fails, a person falls down stairs. The Willis Tower climb will be the bionic leg’s fi rst test in the public eye, said lead researcher Levi Hargrove of the institute’s Center for Bionic Medicine. The climb, called “SkyRise Chicago,” is a fundraiser for the institute with about 2,700 people climbing. This is the fi rst time the climb has played a role in the facility’s research. To prepare, Vawter and the

scientists have spent hours adjusting the leg’s movements. Vawter likes the bionic leg. Compared to his regular prosthetic, it’s more responsive and more fluid. It started with surgery in 2009. When Vawter’s leg was amputated, a surgeon repositioned the residual spaghettilike nerves that normally would carry signals to the lower leg and sewed them to new spots on his hamstring. That would allow Vawter one day to be able to use a bionic leg, even though the technology was years away. Experts not involved in the project say the Chicago research is on the leading edge. Most artifi cial legs are passive. “They’re basically fancy wooden legs,” said Daniel Ferris of the University of Michigan. Others have motorized or mechanical components but don’t respond to the electrical impulses caused by thought. The $8 million project is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense and involves Vanderbilt University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Rhode Island and the University of New Brunswick.

USC Halloween party escalates into shooting Student football player shot 7 times, is expected to live BY GREG RISLING ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Violence that sometimes borders the University of Southern California crept onto campus when an argument outside a Halloween party escalated to a shooting that critically wounded one man and injured three other people and led administrators Thursday to reassess policies of the school near high-crime neighborhoods. Neither the victims nor the two men detained were USC students, but the shooting reinforced concerns that the campus’s location near downtown Los Angeles presents risks on and off campus. The shooting comes after security was strengthened following the April slayings of two Chinese graduate students about a mile from the school. As students returned to class Thursday after the campus was

shut down for three hours, school officials said they are reviewing policies regarding visitors and events but stressed that the chances of a shooting at USC are rare. “While the risk of such an episode on campus is very low, it reminds all of us that we must look out for ourselves and be particularly vigilant about the personal safety of friends and guests at our social events,” USC President C.L. Max Nikias said. Two men were detained and were being questioned about the shooting that happened outside the “Freak or Greek” party held by the Black Student Assembly. One man was critically injured, and three bystanders were treated for minor injuries and released. None of those shot or detained were students at the university, USC police Capt. David Carlisle said. Geno Hall, a former Los Angeles prep football star, was shot seven times and is expected to live, his father, Eugene Hall told the Los Angeles Times. Hall is playing football at West Los Angeles community college, and

his goal was to transfer to a university, his father said. The men were in a line of more than 100 people waiting to get into the party when they began arguing and one man pulled a gun and opened fi re, Carlisle said. Journalism graduate student Matt Hamilton, 25, said he and a group of friends were standing about 25 feet away when at least four gunshots rang out in rapid succession. “And then mayhem erupted,” Hamilton said. “People ran away in all directions. I tried to hide behind a building, and some people just dropped down.” USC officials said campus police officers saw the shooting and caught the two men as they ran away. A gun was found near the shooting scene and will be tested to see if it was the weapon used, police said. The Halloween shooting follows two others this year near the campus, which is a few miles south of downtown in an area historically burdened by high crime. However, police said crime around USC is down 19 percent so far this year.

Cocaine trafficker arrested in Argentina BY ALMUDENA CALATRAVA ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Colombia’s most-wanted reputed drug trafficker was arrested outside a restaurant in suburban Buenos Aires after Colombian police spent months chasing him around South America. Carrying false passports from five countries and posing as a Venezuelan businessman, Henry de Jesus Lopez, aka “Mi Sangre,” or “My Blood,” was finally captured Tuesday night. He is accused of shipping tons of cocaine to the United States through Central America. Lopez and a bodyguard were arrested without a shot fired in the parking lot of “Fettuccine Mario,” where he was expected to arrive for dinner in the Buenos Aires suburb of Pilar, police said Wednesday. Lopez, 41, ran the “Urabenos” gang based in northern Colombia after rising through the ranks of right-wing paramilitary groups that doubled as drug trafficking operations, national police director Gen. Jose Roberto Leon said in Bogota. The group takes its name from the Gulf of Uraba on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, from which U.S. law enforcement officials say it shipped tons of cocaine northward. Argentine Security Secretary Sergio Berni called Lopez “extremely dangerous” and said he has been responsible for “hundreds of deaths.”

Colombian traffickers are increasingly being arrested farther from home — in Venezuela, in Bolivia and now in Argentina — as Colombian authorities and dozens of DEA agents have systematically captured the country’s kingpins and begun working their way down the chains of command of the remaining organized crime rings. “Colombia now effectively has no more “capos” of regional or national reach,” said Oscar Naranjo, who retired as Colombia’s national police director in July. “He was one of the few left in Central and South America at that level,” a U.S. law enforcement official said. “Now you have the second tier.” The official, who was not authorized to be quoted by name, said Lopez was accused in a U.S. criminal complaint of shipping “multiton loads” of cocaine to the U.S. Lopez entered Argentina with his wife and child late last year, settling them into a house in the gated community of Nordelta, where many wealthy Argentines have waterfront homes. But Berni said he left his family there and moved constantly, jumping from property to property north of the capital, living under assumed names and protected by as many as eight bodyguards. Lopez carried false passports from Argentina, Paraguay, Ecuador, Brazil and Venezuela, and recently traveled through Paraguay and Venezuela in hopes

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Flames from a derailed train car sent people rushing out of neighborhoods and a town near Louisville on Wednesday while fi refi ghters tried to douse the chemical blaze that left three workers badly burned. Some people forced from their homes faced a long night on cots in shelters set up after the blaze — sparked by a cutting torch that ignited leaking vapors — broke out shortly after 1 p.m. local time. Officials in West Point, a short distance from the fi re, ordered its nearly 1,000 residents to get away from the fl ames and the potential health hazards posed by the burning chemicals. About two dozen people took shelter Wednesday night at a nearby elementary school. Resident Lisa Johnson was wrapped in a blanket outside the school. “I put the grandkids in the car, forget their jackets and my jacket,” she said. “Hopeful-

I need clothes, a coat, a shower.” Police, fi refighters and emergency workers went door to door to tell residents to get out of town. Another West Point resident, Steven White, said he fed his dog and then hit the road. “I hope we’re not here too long,” he said. “This is tough.” The town was part of an evacuation within a 1.2-mile radius of the fi re. The order also affected nearly 140 residences in southwest Louisville. The blaze broke out while workers were using a cutting torch or welder to separate two of the cars that derailed Monday evening, said Lt. Col. Rick Harrison, assistant chief with

the suburban Buechel Fire Department. Flames and thick, black smoke spewed out between two train cars while fi re hoses shot almost 2,000 gallons of water a minute at the blaze. Officials cut off access to the derailment site and the nearby communities. The three workers suffered severe burns and were taken to University of Louisville hospital. Authorities had not released their names but said one was in very critical condition, another in critical condition and the third in serious condition. A previous briefi ng had the three in better condition.

OKLAHOMA CITY — An arts and craft supply company owned by a Christian family asked a judge Thursday to block a portion of the new federal health care law, claiming that mandated coverage for certain birth control violates its religious freedom rights. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc.’s owners believe the use of morning-after and week-after birth control pills are tantamount to abortion because they prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in a woman’s womb. At a federal court hearing Thursday, a government lawyer said the drugs do not cause abortions and that the U.S. has compelling interest in mandating insurance coverage for them. The company, which is selfinsured, says it will face a daily $1.3 million fi ne beginning Jan. 1 if it ignores the law. U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton did not rule on the company’s request for an injunction but noted Hobby Lobby’s deadline for compliance. “This does raise a lot of new and different issues,” he said. “There’s not a lot of guidance out there.” Hobby Lobby is the larg-

est business to fi le a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services mandate that forces all companies, regardless of religious conviction, to provide coverage of drugs that the lawsuit alleges are abortion-inducing. The Green family also objects to providing coverage for certain kinds of intrauterine devices that the lawsuit alleges can destroy an embryo by preventing it from implanting in a woman’s uterus. Company lawyer Kyle Duncan said “millions of Americans” would consider drugs that prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the womb an abortifacient. “The purpose of these drugs is emergency contraception,” Duncan said. “We don’t cover pregnancy termination.” Government lawyer Michelle Bennett disagreed and said failing to mandate insurance coverage for the drugs would increase the number of unwanted pregnancies. Bennett said the drugs “do not terminate pregnancy,” and instead prevent one from occurring. The morning-after pill works by preventing ovulation or fertilization. In medical terms, pregnancy begins when a fer-

tilized egg attaches itself to the wall of the uterus. If taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, it can reduce a woman’s chances of pregnancy by as much as 89 percent. But critics of the contraceptive say it is the equivalent of an abortion pill because it can prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus. The Green family fi led suit in September, saying the law would force them “to violate their deeply held religious beliefs under threat of heavy fi nes, penalties and lawsuits.” It claims the mandate is unconstitutional. Duncan said the company has no objection to other forms of birth control and includes them in its insurance plan. “Hobby Lobby ought to be able to get a narrow exemption,” Duncan said. Hobby Lobby calls itself a “biblically founded business” and is closed on Sundays, provides spiritual counseling for its employees and does not sell products that are inconsistent with its owners’ religion. Founded in 1972, the company now operates more than 500 stores in 41 states and employs more than 13,000 full-time employees who are eligible for health insurance coverage.

Groce showing practice matters Men’s basketball has to work to do as it prepares for West Chester BY ETHAN ASOFSKY SENIOR WRITER

Even if the Illini win a game by 32, they won’t have it easy in practice unless all the little things are done right. This week it was free throws. Next week it will undoubtedly be something else. As the Illini men’s basketball team shifts its focus from last

weekend’s blowout win against Lewis to Sunday’s second and final exhibition game against West Chester, the philosophy has stayed the same. First-year head coach John Groce is determined to implement his “practice matters at Illinois” culture, and this week the focus was the Illini’s putrid performance from the charity stripe

in the first exhibition game. The team usually shoots free throws after each practice, but this week there was an added incentive not to miss. “We didn’t shoot the ball well from the free-throw line last game,” recently appointed team captain Sam McLaurin said. “We’ve been shooting free throws every day. We do drills where if you miss a certain amount of free throws you have to run. Those drills aren’t too fun.” McLaurin said players shot around 50 free throws in each practice this week, in addition to

individual contributions in workouts. In the last exhibition game, the Illini shot 54.5 percent (12for-22) from the stripe, something McLaurin’s fellow captain Brandon Paul said can’t happen. Paul generally didn’t shoot the way he wanted to against Lewis. He was 2-for-4 from 3-point range and 3-for-6 from the field. As a result, Paul decided not to rest on his Wednesday off day, instead choosing to use his free time to head into the Ubben Basketball Complex for

There won’t be a lot of love on the ice this weekend at the Illinois Ice Arena. No. 2 Ohio (11-1-0), coming off its first loss of the year last week to Liberty, travels to Champaign to face No. 8 Illinois (10-3-2) on Friday and Saturday. Ohio has won four national championships in the past 21 years, while Illinois has won two national championships in the past seven. The Illini players see these games as the biggest of the year, as they prepare to face a team they don’t care for one bit. “The word that comes to mind is rivalry,” forward Austin Bostock said. “I absolutely hate all those guys ... you love to play against them because it’s going to be so intense.” Although head coach Nick Fabbrini said Ohio was the Illini’s biggest rival when he was playing, the hatred

was renewed last year when the Bobcats knocked Illinois out of the first round of the national tournament. Ohio is in unfamiliar territory heading into this weekend, as it had held the coveted No. 1 ranking the past four weeks. Playing against a mediocre Liberty team (8-5-2), Ohio lost last Saturday 4-3 on a go-ahead goal with just over a minute to play. The Bobcats had shown signs of vulnerability leading up the loss. Before Saturday’s game, four of their last five games were decided by one goal. Still, Ohio is the No. 2 team in the country. “I think it’s a good thing we’re playing such a high-ranked opponent,” Fabbrini said. “We seem to play to the level of the teams that we’re playing. We have a tendency to relax on this team.”

Lacking confidence, it’s almost ‘do or die’ for Illini BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER

Wednesday night, in front of a partially dressed-up Halloween crowd of 2,047 at Huff Hall, Illinois volleyball suffered yet another tough loss: The fourth consecutive loss, the sixth fiveset loss, the seventh loss of a dreadful October and yet another chance to beat a ranked team that slipped through the Illini’s fingertips. After so many emotionally draining defeats, the plan to bounce back is simple: “Play more volleyball,” Annie Luhrsen said. The senior setter and Connecticut transfer appears to have re-established herself as the team’s setter after being benched for freshman Alexis Viliunas a few weeks ago. Illinois (10-13, 4-9 Big Ten) needs to win six of its final seven games to be eligible for the NCAA tournament, and remaining on the schedule is a road battle against No. 3 Penn State. However, taking things one step at a time, the Illini face one of the two teams with a poorer conference record than they did

in Indiana (10-14, 2-10) on Saturday. One of the biggest issues for the Illini right now, head coach Kevin Hambly said, is confidence. “I think we’re fighting hard, but we’ve lost it (confidence),” he said. “We have to regain it by — the only way I know is to get wins. “(On Wednesday), they (Illinois) didn’t stop, they weren’t gonna stop,” he added. “And they didn’t stop against Minnesota, they just — we didn’t have the confidence to make the plays at the end. To me, what it takes is we’ve gotta keep pushing and pushing, and we’ve gotta have a breakthrough. We’ve gotta get one of those wins.” Luhrsen said the team is confident it will beat the Hoosiers. “I think that it’d be bad to go into any match wondering whether you’re gonna win or not. ... It’s not cockiness or anything, it’s just like we’re confident in our abilities, and we know that if we go out there and play to our best level, that we can

Defensive backs key to Bears’ success BY ANDREW SELIGMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears had some question marks in their secondary when the season started. It turns out they had some answers, too. With the defensive line applying the pressure up front and the guys in the backfield letting little get past them, the Bears lead the NFC North at 6-1. They keep coming up with big plays. They keep getting recognized for it, too, with Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman being selected NFC Defensive Player of the Month for October. All he did was return two interceptions for touchdowns, limit Detroit’s Calvin Johnson to just three catches for 34 yards and help hold opposing quarterbacks to a league-low 61.9 passer rating while the Bears went 4-0. A month earlier, Bears cornerback Tim Jennings got the recognition. “It’s exciting,” linebacker Lance Briggs said Thursday. “It’s exciting for all of us when our defensive backfield are playing well. Our men up front are playing well. A lot of teams have to beware no matter what set of defensive linemen we have in. If the ball gets set a little high, if you slip on a route, you know that our guys are going to be in a position to make a play.” The Bears have been making plenty this season. They’re tied with the New York Giants for the NFL lead with 16 interceptions even though they’ve played one less game and have returned a clubrecord six for touchdowns. While the defense keeps racking up points, it’s not giving up many. The

Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings (26) celebrates with teammates Brandon Marshall (15) and Earl Bennett (80) after he scored on an interception against the Carolina Panthers in Chicago on Sunday. Bears defenders score at a rate that would make offenses envious. Bears are allowing 14.3 per game — second lowest in the league — and are second in takeaways with 23. But they’re not just making plays. They’re doing it at big moments. “Success is at an all-time high because we’re comfortable back there,” Jennings said. “We know each other’s

style of play. You can’t say too much about Peanut (Tillman); you know what he’s going to give you every Sunday. And with the young group of safeties that we have, I’m very comfortable with them just from the fact that I know their abilities.” Jennings, the league leader with six

interceptions, joined the points parade with a key pick last week in a 23-22 win over Carolina. That happened right after Jay Cutler connected with Kellen Davis on a touchdown in the fourth quarter, cutting a 12-point deficit to five. On the Panthers’ next play from scrimmage, Steve Smith slipped run-

ning an out pattern and the ball went right to Jennings. He returned his second interception of the game 25 yards for a touchdown, giving Chicago a shortlived lead in a game they ultimately won on a field goal as time expired. It was just another quick strike by the defense at a key moment.

Spelman College ends sports program BY CHRISTINA ALMEIDA AND JUSTIN POPE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JOE HOWELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tennessee Titans tight end Jared Cook is hit by Indianapolis Colts strong safety Tom Zbikowski on Sunday in Nashville, Tenn. Cook did not address rumors that he requested a trade after Sunday’s loss.

ATLANTA — Sports began on American college campuses as a way for students to blow off steam and be healthy. Over the last century and a half, athletics have transformed into something very different: A handful of elite athletes, showered with resources and coaching, competing against other schools while the rest of the student body cheers from the stands. On Thursday, Spelman College — a historically black women’s college in Atlanta with a far-frombig-time NCAA athletics program — announced how it plans to return to the old model. The

school said it would use the nearly $1 million that had been dedicated to its intercollegiate sports program, serving just 4 percent of students, for a campuswide health and fitness program benefiting all 2,100. “When I was looking at the decision, it wasn’t being driven by the cost as much as the benefit. With $1 million, 80 student-athletes are benefiting,” said Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum, Spelman’s president. “Or should we invest in a wellness program that would touch every student’s life?” Spelman’s decision won’t influence the Georgias and Ohio States of the world — where sports have become inextricable from the identity of the university. But it

could attract notice at a broader band of colleges struggling with budget cuts and agonizing over whether the cost of college athletics is compatible with their missions. For Tatum, there is also an element of social responsibility. She said a campus analysis found that almost one out of every two students has high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes or is obese. “I have been to funerals of young alums who were not taking care of themselves, and I believe we can change that pattern not only for them but for the broader community,” Tatum said. The Division III school has been part of the Great South Athletic Conference in seven sports,

including basketball, softball and tennis. Tatum said the school was sending a letter to the NCAA saying the school would be withdrawing from the conference and would no longer have an athletics program. Instead, the school plans to expand wellness programs and renovate fitness facilities. David Ridpath, an associate professor of sports administration at Ohio University, called the announcement eye-catching and predicted it could serve as a model at similar schools. “I don’t really look at this as a complete anomaly,” said Ridpath, who is also president-elect of the Drake Group, a national faculty organization advocating for changes in college athletics.

Titan’s Cook wants to win, evades trade request questions BY TERESA WALKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee tight end Jared Cook says he’s happy with his role in the Tennessee offense and only wants to win because winning is “huge.” He just never answered questions Thursday on whether or not he asked to be traded. Coach Mike Munchak said Monday this is not the time for agents to stir the pot when asked if Cook requested a trade. Cook spoke Thursday after practice and dodged questions about whether his agent asked for the tight end to be traded. Cook says he has to do his job and focus on Chicago (6-1) for Sunday’s game. He also said he was upset they lost to the Colts 19-13 in overtime. “I want to win man,” Cook said. “That’s the big thing. I want to go to the playoffs for once. I just want to win games.” The Titans haven’t reached the playoffs since 2008, months before they selected the 6-foot-5, 248-pound Cook in the third round of the 2009 draft. The tight end is in the last year of his contract, and the Titans fell to 3-5 with the loss to the Colts. He was on the field for 25 of the Titans’ 59 offensive snaps with three catches for 45 yards in the loss. He ranks second in the AFC for yards receiving by a tight end since the start of the 2011 season with 1,132 yards on 77 catches, and he is averaging 14.7 yards per catch. But he has been on the field for 48 percent or fewer offensive snaps in four of Tennessee’s eight games this season. Cook said he was happy with his role in the offense, and Munchak said Cook has been good this week. “Every week there are a lot of plays that he has an opportunity

to make, a lot of plays,” Munchak said. “This is a game where if they are going to take away the run, him and the other receivers are going to have an opportunity to be a big part of this game. He’s been great, he’s been good all year, working hard in practice. Everything is real good there.” Matt Hasselbeck downplayed the report of a trade request Wednesday, saying he made a joke about it. Hasselbeck also said he knows how he and the coaches feel about Cook. “If anything, I feel like I should throw him the ball more,” Hasselbeck said. “I mean he makes plays for us, and I like him a lot. But he’s definitely a big part of what we’re doing.” Hasselbeck said teams hit adversity during seasons. “You pull together and either come together, or you don’t,” Hasselbeck said. “I feel good about what we’ve got, especially with him.” Cook currently is tied for second in receptions with Nate Washington (28), but the tight end has a team-high 443 yards receiving. He has two touchdown catches. Cook joked that he should bribe the quarterback with a Rolex watch since rookie Kendall Wright gave Hasselbeck a pair of Beats headphones earlier this year. Wright has a team-high 40 catches. “There’s so many tools,” Cook said. “This is an explosive offensive to be a part of. It’s just hard to get the ball around to everybody.” Cook also said he wants to be with the Titans next season. “Tennessee is my home, whatever is going on with that just let it happen but we have to finish this season first,” Cook said. “We’re going to focus on the present . You have to take advantage of the moment you’re in.”

Attorney General Linda Kelly announces new criminal charges related to an ongoing child sex crimes investigation against former Penn State President Graham Spanier and added charges against two former underlings during a news conference Thursday at the state capitol in Harrisburg, Pa.

Former Penn State president charged in case BY MARK SCOLFORO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The “conspiracy of silence” that protected Jerry Sandusky extended all the way to the top at Penn State, prosecutors said Thursday as they charged former university President Graham Spanier with hushing up child sexual abuse allegations against the former assistant football coach. Prosecutors also added counts against two of Spanier’s former underlings, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, who were already charged with lying to a grand jury. “This was not a mistake by these men. This was not an oversight. It was not misjudgment on their part,” state Attorney Gen-

eral Linda Kelly said. “This was a conspiracy of silence by top officials to actively conceal the truth.” Spanier’s lawyers issued a statement that asserted his innocence and described the new charges as an attempt by Gov. Tom Corbett to divert attention from the three-year investigation that began under his watch as attorney general. “These charges are the work of a vindictive and politically motivated governor working through an unelected attorney general ... whom he appointed to do his bidding,” the four defense lawyers wrote. Corbett spokesman Kevin Harley said the defense state-

ment “sounds like the ranting of a desperate man who just got indicted.” Curley’s lawyer Caroline Roberto said he was innocent of all charges, as he has asserted in the past. She said the new documents were being reviewed and would have a more comprehensive comment later. Schultz also has maintained his innocence; his lawyer did not return a message seeking comment. At a Capitol news conference, Kelly said all three men “knowingly testified falsely and failed to provide important information and evidence.” Spanier was charged with perjury, obstruction, endangering the welfare of children, fail-

ure to properly report suspected abuse and conspiracy. Curley and Schultz face new charges of endangering the welfare of children, obstruction and conspiracy. The charges were filed with a suburban Harrisburg district judge, whose office said Curley and Schultz were expected to be arraigned Friday afternoon and Spanier tentatively scheduled to appear Wednesday. They came nearly a year to the day that Sandusky was arrested. Sandusky, who spent decades on the Penn State staff and was defensive coordinator during two national championship seasons, was convicted in June of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years.

VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE 1B beat anyone,” she said. Redshirt freshman Ali Stark certainly did not play to her best level hitting-wise against Purdue, notching just three kills and six hitting errors on 25 swings for a -.120 hitting percentage. Hambly said she did well in other facets of the game but “looked uncomfortable” in her hitting. Stark said she looked to remedy her struggles by getting in the gym and practicing hard before Saturday’s match. Luhrsen was also in the gym, working on sets before practice, but with her senior season on the brink of being cut short, the motivation for players like her and senior middle Erin Johnson is different. “We’re trying our best not to have any sort of different attitude about (the end of the season), but it is defi-

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1B some extra practice on his shooting. Paul, along with sophomore guard Tracy Abrams, also must shoulder the responsibility of igniting the pace of the offense. After a lackluster effort in the Orange and Blue scrimmage per Groce’s standards, the tempo finally picked up in Saturday’s exhibition game. While the Illini didn’t run as much as expected in transition, the shot clock rarely waned down to single digits on offensive possessions. Groce liked the effort, but noted there was still work to be done. Paul and Abrams have been told to run whenever they see a chance, as the team continues to work toward a faster offense similar to the one Groce ran at Ohio. “We’re getting to where we want to be,” Paul said. “He showed us some clips from last year over when they

nite — like, there is an end to everything,” Luhrsen said. “And we’re realizing how close that could be, so that makes you want it, and it makes you wanna work that much harder every day in the gym and really just try to push and do your best.” With only one loss to spare before their tournament outlook is truly “do or die,” the Illini are doing everything they can to make sure that one loss doesn’t come at the hands of the Hoosiers on Saturday. “You can’t think about six out of seven matches, or you can’t think about the match as a whole, you just have to think about one point at a time,” Luhrsen said. “I think, at this point, we really just have to enjoy it because ... there is a definite possible end, and it makes every moment a little bit more precious. Really, we’re working hard. We wanna win, but we wanna enjoy it as well.”

We were running, but we weren’t running as fast as we could. We were kind of just told, me and Tracy, when we have the ball, just push it more and run at a high pace.” Groce said he wants to treat this exhibition game more like a regular season game than the one against Lewis because this is the Illini’s last chance for a tune-up before the season opens Nov. 9 against Colgate. Groce said he hasn’t decided on a starting lineup yet, and he said he probably wouldn’t until after Friday’s practice. Sunday’s lineup, like the last exhibition game, will be determined by which players grade out the highest in this week’s practice. For this week, that could mean doing the little things.

Women’s XC hopes to end season on a high note at Indiana Cross-country runners finish with close competition BY NICHOLAS FORTIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Illinois women’s cross-country team will look to end the year on a high note at the Hoosier Invitational on Friday. The Illini will have five runners likely compete for the last time this season, Illinois coach Jeremy Rasmussen said. “You always want to end the season on a great note,” Rasmussen said. “The biggest goal is to carry success over to the end of the year and then roll into the indoor (track) season.” Illinois will be evenly-matched this weekend, as it will compete against Purdue, Indiana, Indiana State, Butler and Oakland. The Illini finished ninth at the Big Ten Championships last week, but the Hoosiers placed only one spot ahead. The Boilermakers were 11th. “It’s going to be a pretty competitive race, and to succeed, we have to continue to work on the things we have been practicing all year,” Rasmussen said. “Putting yourself in the position to race the race you want to race and giving yourself an opportunity to finish where you want to finish (is important). Being super smart about it, not going out super fast but not going out so slow and

HOCKEY FROM PAGE 1B Last weekend in a series at Iowa State, after dominating the first game 6-4, Illinois came out flat on Saturday and was beaten soundly 5-3. The theme of those games, as well as the season thus far, has been the subpar play in the defensive zone for Illinois. Fortunately, defenseman Anthony Carlsen will be back from a groin injury, although defenseman Ben Burbridge is still out with postconcussion symptoms. Mistakes in the defensive zone allowed Iowa State to keep the game close on Friday and allowed the Cyclones to pull away on Saturday. “I think you can point to one of our mistakes on each of Iowa State’s

conservative that it’s too much build back to get to the front.” The Illini will field a small yet diverse squad as senior Meagan Hynes, juniors Rachel Irion and Amanda Zamora, sophomore Colette Falsey and freshman Michelle Frigo will run. “(The team is looking) good so far, two of them (Hynes and Irion) are coming off running Big Tens last weekend and ran real close to their PRs, and Colette is coming off two weeks ago running a PR so we’re really looking forward those girls getting an opportunity to go back out. It’s going to be 5K this week, and we want them to try to run a new PR,” Rasmussen said. Two weeks ago at the Illini’s 5K course, Falsey won the Illinois Open with a time of 18 minutes, 46 seconds. “We have been tapering our mileage the past couple weeks to get our legs feeling good. Friday is going to be good opportunity to go out and run a personal best,” Falsey said. Both Rasmussen and Hynes said for the team to have success, it must run together and continue to work toward everything it has practiced. “I think (Friday) is mostly about working together out there,” Hynes said. “It’s one last opportunity to go after season goals that have yet to be met. If we just trust what we’ve done up to this point and work well together, we are going to run really well.”

Bostock said these matchups are always extra-physical, although it just comes with the tension of the matchup. “Ohio, historically, takes runs at guys and tries to finish (its) checks,” Bostock said. “But on an ice size this big, you can’t really run out of position to finish a hit because it’ll take you out of your game.” Illinois will need to utilize any advantage it can get in order to pull off the upset this weekend.

CHONG JIANG THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Bruno Abdelnour jumps to volley the ball during his singles match against Michigan State during the meet at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex on April 7. Abdelnour and three other Illini will compete at the Big Ten Indoor Tennis Tournament in Madison, Wis., this weekend.

Men’s tennis heads to Wis. Illinois will send 4 competitors to Big Ten Indoor Tennis Tourney BY STEVEN VAZQUEZ STAFF WRITER

As the fall season dwindles down to its final weeks, only four athletes from the Illinois men’s tennis team will be competing in the Big Ten Indoor Tennis Tournament this weekend at Wisconsin’s Nielsen Tennis Stadium. Freshman Alex Jesse, who will be in action Friday, is no stranger to competing in Madison, Wis., because he grew up in Milwaukee. “I won’t be able to sleep (Thursday night),” Jesse said. “I got a lot of friends that went to Madison from my high school, so I get to see them. Parents, family, friends. Everyone is coming out to watch, so I’m really excited.” Jesse has not seen the results he wants, but he said he is not worried because he is looking at this fall season as a learning experience. He said he

has worked on a lot of different tactics in practice, which sometimes causes him to overthink while on the court. “I just need to block that out and play the way that I know,” Jesse said. Freshman Julian Childers will be paired up with Jesse in the tournament’s doubles. He is also excited about competing in Jesse’s home state. “He has a lot of fans coming out to watch and support Illinois in Wisconsin, so that’ll be fun,” Childers said. Childers is coming off a strong performance last weekend at the Conference Challenge at Texas A&M, where he went 3-1 in singles. Childers hopes to apply a tactic called the “triple-threat position,” which utilizes the inside of the tennis court. He is looking to move his opponents around with his forehand and eventually wear them out. Senior Bruno Abdelnour and sophomore Ross Guignon go into the singles draw of the tournament seeded No. 3 and No. 9, respectively. Both Illini have been dealing with injuries this season but are in the latter part of their recovery. Guignon recently took four months off to rest his knee because of

SOCCER

FROM PAGE 1B 2-0, and the team knows that it is not an ideal situation, especially in the postseason. Because Penn State feeds on mistakes, the Illini will do what they can to refrain from digging themselves into a hole early. In the 11th minute against Minnesota, freshman defender Amy Feher was issued a red card, forcing the Illini to play a man down for the rest of the match. Rayfield said the team hopes to keep all 11 players on the field and will play at its hardest for all 90 minutes in an effort to not fall behind. If it does happen again, though, Illinois knows

osteochondral defect, which is a fragmentation in his femur bone below his knee cap. “It’s feeling better,” Guignon said. “Half the battle is mental for me because the injury was there all of last season. But I’m feeling pretty good, I had a good week at practice.” Abdelnour has been battling wrist tendonitis since the summer. He said last week that he was at about 85 percent. Guignon and Abdelnour will also be paired up for doubles this weekend. Only four Illini will be making the trip because of match restrictions, associate coach Marcos Asse said. Each athlete is held to 25 team dates and 25 individual dates throughout both seasons. Asse will be the lone Illini coach this weekend, as head coach Brad Dancer will stay back to hold practice. “Clearly, there will be some stiff competition there from all the teams,” Asse said. “It is a Big Ten title, so it would be great to bring it back to Illinois.”

that it still has a chance to come back to grab a win as it has done many times this season. “I think our team has shown time and time again how well we can adapt to adversity,” Read said. “I think our team is so strong because we have had times this year in previous games where we’ve had to come back and we were able to do that.” “We’ll fight from start to finish on Friday, and if that means we get ahead, that’s great, but if that means we’ve got to fight back from down, we’ll do that,” Rayfield said. “This team is just ready to fight.”
