ELECTIONS 2012 Democrats pick up key congressional seats in Illinois Democrats erased painful memories from 2010, when they lost five congressional seats to Republicans. They landed almost all the big prizes on Tuesday's Illinois ballot, taking back three of the seats they lost in the tea-party inspired surge two years ago and picking up a fourth when Bill Foster defeated seven-term U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert. Among the three GOP freshmen unseated was U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh, the Obama-bashing tea party favorite, who lost to Iraq war veteran Tammy Duckworth in one of the most closely followed races in the country.
District 8:
District 10:
Tammy Duckworth: 54.7 % Joe Walsh: 45.3 % Democrat Tammy Duckworth says she was able to defeat first-term tea party Congressman Joe Walsh with a strong grass roots approach. She says more than 500 volunteers were active throughout her campaign. The suburban Chicago matchup was one of the most closely watched in the nation as Democrats identified it early on as a pickup.
Brad Schneider: 50.5 % Bob Dold: 49.5 % Perhaps the most painful and surprising loss for Republicans was Democrat Brad Schneider's election over first-term Republican Rep. Bob Dold. Republicans have held the territory that includes affluent and working-class suburbs north of Chicago for more than three decades, and Dold outraised and outspent Schneider. Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk held the territory for five terms as a congressman.
Bill Foster: 58.1 % Judy Biggert: 41.9 % Seven-term Republican Rep. Judy Biggert also lost her seat to Democratic challenger Bill Foster, a former congressman.
Cheri Bustos: 53.3 % Bobby Schilling: 46.7 % Republican Rep. Bobby Schilling, a pizzeria owner, lost to former health care executive and city council member Cheri Bustos. Schilling, who won with heavy tea-party support in 2010, said he was looking forward to returning to his family business: Saint Giuseppe's Heavenly Pizza in Moline.

UI joins others in international student survey BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER
The University joined 1,200 others in the world this year in participating in the largest international-student satisfaction survey in the world . The International Student Barometer Survey allows international students to rate a variety of programs and services offered at a university based on their own personal experiences. The survey is conducted by the International Graduate Insight Group Ltd., or i-graduate. Pamela Barrett, i-graduate director of client relations, said question topics range from students’ learning experiences to their living environments to sport and social facilities on campus. “From these questions, the University will get a very clear picture of what the international students think about different dimensions of the experience,” Barrett said. “Then the University can fi nd out where the challenges or problems are and where the good practice is, and they can think about what changes might need to be made.” Barrett said ISB will also enable the University to compare the experiences of their international students with all other participating universi-

District 11:
District 17:
Rodney Davis: 47 % David Gill: 46 % Republicans were counting on one victory as Republican Rodney Davis beat Democrat David Gill. However, Gill, a Bloomington physician, said the election was still too close to concede and wanted to look at the impact of provisional ballots. Davis had a nearly 1,300-vote — or less than 1 percentage point — lead over Gill.

ties, including other Big Ten schools. The standard single-year price for participating in the ISB is $10,000 per institution. But Julie Misa, director of the University’s Office of International Student and Scholar Services, said the office opted to pay a discounted price of $21,000 for one survey per year for three years. The office sent out the fi rst survey in an email Oct. 30 to all international students on campus, including undergraduate, graduate and non-degreeseeking exchange students. Misa said that of the 8,648 international students who received the survey, 2,462 students — about 28 percent — responded as of Tuesday. She added that she is hoping to receive a lot of strong and accurate feedback from international students, so the University can work to accommodate their needs and preferences. “It’s good whenever you’re working with a population to fi nd out how things are going and see what’s working well and what might need to be changed,” Misa said. “This is a good instrument, we feel, to be able to do that.”

Jesse Jackson: 63.0 % Brian Woodworth: 23.5 % Jackson easily won re-election Tuesday even as an extended medical leave kept him from campaigning. He remains hospitalized at Minnesota's Mayo Clinic. Three little-known challengers highlighted Jackson's absence and corruption allegations against Jackson on the campaign trail. Jackson wasn't expected to lose the seat he's held since 1995.

INTERNATIONAL FROM PAGE 1A Sukjin Han, graduate student from South Korea, said he recently participated in the survey because he felt it was his responsibility as an international student and a member of the campus community to share his opinions and experiences. “I think there are some common concerns among international students in terms of being adapted to the unique aspect of American culture,” Han said. “I had the impression that the ISSS (Office of International Student and Scholar Services) tries its best in helping international students continue their studies here. ... I felt that they have sincere care and concern (for) international students.” After the survey closes on Dec. 7, Barrett said i-graduate will analyze the data and present it to the University in the Spring 2013 semester. “Essentially, our job is to analyze the data and give (the University) the insight because data is just data until you actually do something with it,” Barrett said. “So, we try to give the University the story of what the most important changes are.” However, she said that after providing the analysis and benchmarking of the results, it

is up to the University to decide what to do with that information. She said many universities look at what past survey participants have done with the results. “It’s very defi nitely a wordof-mouth thing,” Barrett said. “Even when the universities contact us initially, what they’re interested in is who else is involved in the survey and how they can get references of what people are doing with it and how useful it is.” Because the University is among the top five participating schools with the largest international student populations in the country, Barrett said she is eager to see the University’s ISB results. She said she is expecting to fi nd strong satisfaction. Even so, she said there is always room for improvement, which is why she strongly encouraged student participation. “I think it’s really important for international students to participate and make their voices heard,” Barrett said. “What’s fantastic about this survey is that the University wants to know what students think. Things are never going to change for the better unless students contribute their views.”

University in 21st in contest to get free storage from Dropbox Students can sign up to win points, would get 25 gigabytes if Illinois wins BY ATOOSA SAYEH CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The University is moving up the ranks in an international “Great Space Race” against other schools to win students up to 25 free gigabytes of Dropbox space per student for two years. Dropbox is an online storage space that can hold fi les ranging from documents to movies. Students who join now receive 15 free gigabytes. So far, the University ranks 21st globally, fi fth nationally and fi rst in the Big Ten. In order to gain points, University community members can sign up or start a free trial, then refer others to the program using their University email and complete a seven-step “Get Started” plan. The contest began Oct. 15 and ends Dec. 10. Jessica Koh , freshman in DGS,
participated in the contest and said the amount of free space would make storing documents and information easier. “I think it could really benefit students in both their academic and personal lives,” Koh said. “You can share fi les that are too much of a hassle to share through attachments either because they are too large or because you have you have a series of many folders.” Dropbox was founded by two college students, and one of them, CEO Drew Houston , said he understands the difficulties that students face while in school. “We’re always looking for ways to make life easier and solve the basic problems people face every day,” Houston said a press release. “Sending fi les has always been a painful process, but now with Dropbox, sharing with friends, family and colleagues is effortless.” “Dropbox traditions are rooted in schools and students,” said Jon Ying, designer at Dropbox, in an email. “Space Race is our way of showing students and professors how much we appreciate them.”

University graduates launch new wheelchair product by IntelliWheels BY JACQUELINE OGRONDIK CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Champaign startup IntelliWheels will release its new product, the Easy Push, in January. The Easy Push is a new set of wheels that are added onto any manual wheelchair in order to increase mobility. IntelliWheels was funded by venture capitals from Serra Ventures in Champaign and Crestlight Venture Productions in California. Angel investors in the local community and individual investors who wished to remain anonymous also contributed. IntelliWheels also received a Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Institutes of Health. Scott Daigle is the co-found-
er, president and CEO of IntelliWheels and a University alumnus. He came up with the idea of the Easy Push in 2009 while he was an undergraduate in mechanical engineering at the University. He was inspired by the students using wheelchairs on campus and came up with the idea to add gears on a wheelchair in order to make it easier to get around. “It was a really simple idea,” he said. “It’s all just hard work and determination of continuing to perfect it and make it better until you have something that really can be used by the masses and could help a lot of people.” After working on the product for three years, Daigle said he is ready to launch the product.
Daigle compared the Easy Push to the gears of a bicycle. He said that when someone on a bicycle switches to a lower gear, it makes it easier to peddle. “What happens is that there’s a force-multiplication effect,” he said. “You get a mechanical advantage, so when you push with one pound of force (on the hand rim), you get two pounds of force (on the wheel). You push more to get the same distance, but it takes less force to get there, making it easier on somebody’s shoulders.” Marissa Siebel, co-founder of IntelliWheels, also graduated from the University. Siebel said the easy use of the product makes it a good alternative to a power chair.
“The Easy Push may be the right fit for people who are aging and have limited strength, as well as for people of any age who have limited strength, endurance, or coordination,” she said in an email. “We see the Easy Push as a healthy, safe option that provides independence.” Mary Griffith, sophomore in DGS, said she dislikes the amount of effort she has to put into manual wheelchairs. “I have an old, junky manual wheelchair back home that would be hard to push around campus and effectively get to my classes,” she said. Daigle and Siebel, along with Josh George, director of public relations and marketing for
IntelliWheels and Paralympic gold medalist, have been working on developing and testing prototypes, making marketing materials, attending trade shows and searching for investments over the past few years. When developing the Easy Push, IntelliWheels focused on wheelchair users’ feedback. “Throughout the process, wheelchair users on campus have been interviewed to gain their perspective on what technology would work best for them,” Siebel said. IntelliWheels has recently tested the Easy Push at the ClarkLindsey Retirement Village in Urbana. Five of the residents were allowed to use Easy Push for a onemonth trial period.
ATTENTION
“A lot of people were able to regain mobility,” Daigle said. “They were able to push themselves without any trouble. In fact, we had one patient who was able to, for the first time, push herself in a manual wheelchair and was able to get from her room to dinner without anybody assisting her.” IntelliWheels will launch the Easy Push locally before it goes nationwide later in the year. Daigle said the product will be available to certain medical equipment suppliers and hospitals, and consumers can potentially be reimbursed by Medicare.

As his term as governor went on, even less women were working in senior positions then to start with. My other favorite would have to be the 47 percent comment. Even at a private function, I don’t think it’s a great campaign strategy to alienate almost half of the population. Even if you are absolutely sure no cameras are on you, they are. When you are in the political spotlight, you are always in the political spotlight. No matter what. There are always cameras around. Some other things I will not miss from this election: Rep. Todd Akin’s legitimate rape comment, pundits speaking for women voters, flexible hours in the workplace for women and Santorum’s sweater vests. Okay, maybe I already miss the sweater vests a little. But one of the best things about quotes like these is that people, even if just temporarily, get involved in the political process. And maybe just by doing some research into some of the gaffes, people might be willing to learn about the candidates too — past the, um, interesting things they say. If nothing else, let us rejoice knowing we have a year and a half reprieve before talks of 2016. Maybe that’s dreaming too big. I’m willing to settle for a year. Sweet serendipity.
crolling through your Facebook News Feed and seeing novel-length, emotionally fueled statuses about anything from being Justin Bieber’s “one less lonely girl” (guilty) to Paula Deen’s battle with the butter stick is not only tiring, it’s become ubiquitous. It’s college; I’m used to being irritated by the opposing and sometimes controversial opinions of my peers. Differing views spark my interest, opening a peephole into the opposition’s heads. But when somebody publicly expresses an opinion that not only pertains to me but criticizes the way I was raised, it gets personal. And it’s in that sense that I feel both credible and obligated to sever this apparent closed-mindedness and perhaps convince others that parenting goes beyond gender. The other day I came across a friend’s status that cited his opposition for samesex marriage because “every child deserves a mother and a father.” I was angered because here is a person declaring war on the diversity of parenthood, not just on same-sex marriage. I was born to loving parents — my mother and my father. My brother was born 13 months later. We lived an urban life in a traditional household. School, media and peers all reinforced my belief that living with my mom, dad and brother was just the way it went. It wasn’t until second grade that I began to doubt traditionalism. My parents got divorced, and I didn’t necessarily feel guilty or lonely, instead I felt — if I had known the word earlier — betrayed. Here I was living a paradoxical life in a country of matrimony, mothers and fathers. A young me, contemplating my future as a consequence of a norm I would soon learn can be defied. Both of my parents eventually remarried, bringing me to my next phase of untraditional parenting situations: being blessed with now four loving parents. Even at 13, when divorce wasn’t uncommon, I found myself defying one mother and one father — I had twice the amount of “deserved” parents. Through the diversity of parenting situations I’ve experienced, I can’t help but feel my anger is justified. My friends come from diverse familial situations: single-parent households, extended families. It’s the simple realization that we are all (seemingly) normal despite our incomparable backgrounds that I feel the need to protest a deceiving idea of the parenting children “deserve.” I simply aim to enlighten those who have encouraged this “one mother and one father” belief. In fact, there is a whole other world of possibilities for children that give them an equal, if not superior, parenting situation. I am a child of two heterosexual parents and of single-parent, two-parent and widowed households. Nobody gets to tell me that I deserved otherwise or that my lifestyle is null because of the circumstances in which I grew up. The Journal of Marriage and Family referenced an array of studies portraying a wide scope of parenting situations. Compared with married heterosexual couples, lesbian co-parents came closer to achieving egalitarian parenting styles and household responsibilities. Compared with two-parent households, single parents often had better relationships with their children and helped to break traditional gender roles. Compared with households with a father, “fatherless” households may actually enable children to break free of gender restraints typically imposed by fatherly influences. We cannot keep basing our parenting styles upon the notion that there needs to be a man to masculinize a son and a woman to feminize a daughter. This is exactly the type of practice that promotes gender conformity like boys playing sports and girls playing with dolls. Variations in parenting situations aren’t always detrimental; they appear to have their own unique set of advantages. As the American family paradigm shifts, so will our views and practices. The emergence of nuclear family households in response to financial hardships and of single-parent households as a result of high divorce rates cannot be disregarded as substandard alternatives. I fully acknowledge the benefit in having one mother and one father; it’s the picture painted in most of our heads as early as kindergarten. But I have to disagree that this is deserved. Because what a child deserves is loving parenting, and it’s irrelevant which parenting situation that’s achieved through. The idea that “more is better” doesn’t hold true here. It’s better to have one warm, caring, devoted parent than two irresponsible ones. If it were up to me, I would have thrown out the words mother and father long ago. By attaching a gendered meaning to the idea of parenting, we form this idea that there needs to be both a motherly and fatherly influence. When really, the term parenting should encompass all types, not just one. I will simply state my objection here: I lived with two parents. I’ve lived with one. I’ve had four parents. And I’ve lost one. And here I am, healthy, normal and a living example that perhaps I didn’t get the parenting I “deserved,” but I still got the love. Does it really matter how?

oming off a long and grueling campaign, President Barack Obama was re-elected for four more years. Election Day was a victory for him. Sort of. He may not have to move the kids and the dog out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., but the House of Representatives remains under Republican control, the economy’s growth is still slow, the federal deficit exceeds $1 trillion and many jobs still aren’t there for those who are looking. His major health care legislation has not been fully implemented, and foreign policy matters haven’t gotten any easier. As several have said, his first campaign was built on hope, rallying the American people together who looked to a leader to guide the country through the Great Recession. This term will be built on change. Kind of. Many of the major tasks Obama had set for himself are already in place: His re-election solidified Obamacare’s full implementation. But many are still on his checklist, including — but certainly not limited to — immigration reform and closing Guantanamo Bay. Even with that, change isn’t necessarily what needs to happen. We need continuation. Going into the polls, voters had the economy on the forefront of their minds, and that’s not likely to change anytime soon. But if the president’s victory speech early Wednesday morning bears any indication of what we are going to see, the economy won’t completely dominate the final half of his presidency. Social issues will take on more importance, and we hope that we see more austere environmental standards and policies, a bolstering of women’s rights, marriage equality and more rights for veterans returning home. Even if he aims to conquer these issues, he cannot forget that he was elected largely because the nation believed he could fix the economy better than Gov. Mitt Romney could. Had Romney won, everything Obama had set up for his second term would have been scrapped, and the government would begin back at square one. America has faith in his ability to lead again, but they are more skeptical than they were before. Up to this point, though, Obama has proved to be a catalyst for change, but it must continue. Doing so won’t be much easier than what he faced in the last few years of his term. The president isn’t pretending like the country is one big happy family, especially at a time when the nation is the most partisan it has been since the Civil War. The same enthusiasm behind the 2008 election was not all there this time around. But, an inspired and engaged youth still trekked to the polls in higher-than-expected numbers, slightly higher than they did when Obama beat Sen. John McCain. The issue of persuading a Republican House to work together on fixing the economy won’t be easy, but if the Republican Party wants to better it, compromise will be inescapable. For months, the aim of Republicans was to fire the president, but now they need to look to make sure the people get what’s best with what the people chose. Tuesday night may not have been a complete renewal of hope or the mark of the brightest future for the nation. It may not have been historic. But we will make it to 2016, we will keep moving forward. We will keep hoping for a better tomorrow. Obama’s heyday as a prominent inspirational figure may have passed, but we still have faith that he can fix the economy, mend our international relations and realize positive social change. For the most part.
At 50, Bond still has license to thrill ANDREW HORTON Opinions columnist
R
egardless of whether you’re sulking or celebrating over the result of Obama’s re-election, as a nation we can still unite around the self-evident truth that James Bond is awesome. He is America’s favorite spy because he represents everything men want to be — smart, charming and dangerous. In addition, he has the style, good looks and accent to swoon even the most idealistic woman. “Skyfall,” the 23rd Bond movie hits American theaters tomorrow. The film marks the 50th anniversary of the franchise and has so far received very positive reviews. Credit should be given to the family of producers, the Broccolis, who have allowed the franchise to thrive by keeping Bond relevant in the current era, while still maintaining the classic elements that make the movies so iconic. Since 1962, Bond films have been thrilling audiences with their trademark over-the-top action sequences, eccentric villains and sexy hook-ups. These staples have made the series the second-highest grossing movie franchise in history, somehow falling short of a fragile wizard boy and his broomstick. To keep Bond so popular, the Broccolis have diligently maintained the traditions that Bond fans hold sacred. One of these traditions is the stylized opening
credit sequence that incorporates hints of romance and mystique. Skyfall will continue this tradition, featuring a specially recorded song by the iconic British singer Adele. Of course, the most critical ingredient of any Bond flick is the inclusion of many heart-pumping action scenes. Fortunately, Director Sam Mendes has assured us in lieu of rumors that claimed otherwise, “Skyfall” will contain “a lot of action.” I’m sure he means along the lines of fist fighting on top of trains, but I’m also sure the movie will contain a good amount of the hotter kind of action that 007 likes to engage in while on duty. Keeping the British spy popular has required a number of key casting decisions, the most significant of late being the addition of Daniel Craig as a darker and edgier Bond. This selection has helped provide the intense and realistic tones that modern audiences have come to crave from other blockbusters such as Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” trilogy. It has added a whole new dimension to the series and has given even the most learned Bond fan reason to get excited to see what’s next for 007. Along with Craig, I think it’s hard to fathom anyone playing the role of M better than Judy Dench. The duo is able to brilliantly contain the classic charm of the old movies while adding a more sinister and more engaging atmosphere that is utterly captivating. Besides ensuring that the films contain the perfect core cast, the
Broccolis have also been willing to push the envelope in terms of storyline. For instance, Skyfall will feature 32-year-old actor Ben Whishaw as 007’s beloved gadget man, Q, who has been noticeably absent in the last two films. Whishaw is the youngest person ever to play Q and will bring a new attitude to the role. As hinted in the trailer, this new Q will provide 007 with a selection of more subtle and realistic gadgets, and likely poke fun at the outlandish gadgets of earlier Bond films. Shifting toward realism has been triumphant for the series so far. The Bond we see now is far from the more romanticized agent of the past who went around fighting bad guys in a suit. We see Craig’s character get beaten and tortured. We love this because it shows a mortal side of Bond that we are not used to seeing. This transformation to more dynamic character is likely the greatest reason why our passion for Bond is still so much alive. Our country has undergone a lot of change during the past 50 years. Through it all, James Bond has remained a constant form of beloved entertainment. Thus, we should embrace the 23rd installment as one of the rare pleasures in life that has always been there for us and recognize the brilliant producing, directing and acting that has made such a remarkable series possible.

Political gaffes promote involvement JOANNA ROTHENBERG Opinions columnist
It
is over. The seemingly neverending election of 2012 is finally over. And, with all the seriousness of the election finished, I would just like to take a look back at my favorite gaffes, quotes and “promises” from this election cycle because we all deserve to have some fun. Let us start out with 9-9-9. While you may have completely forgotten its meaning, you may still remember hearing it over, and over and, well, over. Herman Cain and 9-9-9 went hand-in-hand. Its purpose was to replace our current tax system, setting personal income, corporate income and sales taxes at 9 percent. Average voters will probably let Cain fade back into obscurity, but many will forever remember “9-9-9.” Probably not fondly, but remember it they will. Oh, and maybe that stint he had as Godfather’s Pizza CEO, because who doesn’t like pizza? But hey, at least he knows numbers — Mr. President seemed to forget how to count. He said we should be proud of the three words stamped on American made products. Three words: “Made in the USA”. I hate to think what other countries would think of American-made products after that. There was also Newt Gingrich’s moon colony. In his defense, living on the moon would be pretty cool. I would love to see the space program rejuvenated. When I was younger, my family and I flew out to Florida, just to see a space shuttle launch at 4 a.m., and it was
one of the best experiences of my childhood, hands down. But to make a moon colony a goal by 2020 seems a little extreme. Not too many people were going to follow him on that one. It just sounded like one of those bad campaign promises you hear for seventh grade class president. He probably should have promised no homework on the weekends too. Speaking of weird promises, telling a crowd that Romney is “going to put y’all back in chains” is probably not the best plan. Vice President Joe Biden was theoretically referring to Romney’s wanting to change the rules of Wall Street or “unchain Wall Street.” That’s just a tad harsh. I can imagine plenty of more elegant ways of saying it. Maybe something like, “Romney will change the rules of Wall Street, which will hurt you.” That just sounds better than “y’all back in chains.” There is also the chair. I know I have written about it before, but it is much too fun to forget. The night Republicans were formally giving the nomination to the Governor, Clint Eastwood entertained the press by yelling at an empty chair - I mean, “President Obama.” The media had a grand old time with that one. And I enjoyed every minute. I especially recommend watching Obama’s response on Late Night with David Letterman. It still cracks me up. I would like to hope those behind the Republican National Convention learned a lesson here — like don’t give people chairs at the last minute. And speaking of the Governor, I cannot simply pick just one from him that was my take-away favorite, so here’s two. First of all, no one will ever be able to forget “Binders full of women,” which he used when he tried

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD
PEOPLE TO KNOW
2013 Lincoln Laureate Miller represents University with GPA, leadership skills BY SARAH SOENKE STAFF WRITER
Fellow business honors students, Ben Miller and William Tabrizi, didn’t know they would have much in common when they signed a lease to live together last year. Only a year apart in age, Tabrizi was an accounting major from Vernon Hills, Ill., and Miller was a double major in supply-chain management and informations systems and information technology from Boody, Ill. However, Miller and Tabrizi now share prestigious recognition state-wide. Following Tabrizi being named Lincoln Laureate in 2012, Miller has also been chosen for this honor to represent the University for 2013. “I didn’t really think I would win,” Miller said after receiving the news in October. “Every college nominates someone and there’s a lot of really talented people at the University.” Every year, university colleges across the state nominate a notable senior student. The Lincoln Academy then chooses a student to represent each school as Lincoln Laureate. “The Academy honors one senior student from every fouryear, degree granting institution in the state,” said Julie Kellner, executive director of the Academy. “Students are selected based on academic and extracurricular achievement.” John Hedeman, the creator and former assistant dean for the college of business honors program, happened to nominate both of the University’s Lincoln Laureate winners two years in a row. Although nominations for the award were due in September, Hedeman made sure to submit Miller’s nomination before he retired as dean in June. “The more I looked at Ben’s contributions I realized that he would be a great nominee,” Hedeman said. “Ben stands out because he is motivated to take advantage of the resources offered by the College of Business and the University of Illinois. He has amazing energy and outstanding leadership skills. The combination of these skills allowed him to make an incredibly positive impact on campus.” The Academy considers many factors when naming the Laureates every year, which include the student’s GPA as well as his or her student, community and global impact. After arriving in the business honors program his freshman year, Miller has continually applied himself to many extracurricular activities. He joined the business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi in his second semester of freshman year, and he said its mentor program guided him the most in his academic achievements. He joined OTCR Consulting, an entirely student-run consulting fi rm, in his junior year, for which he now works as a project manager. However, Miller fi nds his

most beneficial experience was working with a group called Enactus — previously known as Students in Free Enterprise — a group that fuses entrepreneurship skills with community and global impact. He joined as a project manager during his freshman year when the organization had eight members and two projects. Since then, Miller has helped build Enactus from the ground up, acting as vice-president internal his sophomore year and then as president his junior year. Now, Enactus consists of 60 members and eight projects, three of which are international. “I defi nitely think that (Enactus) played a really big role in my ability to win the Lincoln Laureate,” Miller said. “It’s helped me learn how my leadership style works.” The most memorable experience Miller had working with Enactus was the “Uganda Project,” which he oversaw last year to create an “entrepreneurship curriculum” for small business owners and farmers in Kapeeka, Uganda. For two weeks last May, Miller and five other Enactus members traveled to a rural village in Kapeeka to teach the curriculum and receive feedback on their work. “That was literary a lifechanging experience,” he said. Miller attributes most of his success to the business school’s ability to allow students to balance academic and extracurricular responsibilities. Classes provide the theoretical knowledge, Miller said, but extracurricular work gives students experience in real-world application. Still, Miller admitted that the business school challenges students and that a drive for ambition and time management is essential to success. “I get bored really quickly,” Miller said with a laugh. “But you have to be very good at managing your time and having a calendar.” With his experience in OTCR Consulting and Enactus, Miller went on to intern for The Boeing Company, an aerospace organi-

At the end of his internship, Miller agreed to return to Deloitte full-time next September. Miller said his origins from Boody, Ill., a town of less than 300 people, that keeps him humble. The encouragement of his family also helped him pursue his ambitions. He said his family’s reactions on the day he found out he got into business honors reminds him why he works so hard. “The fi rst thing (my family) said when they found out was ‘That’s awesome, congratulations Ben. Just remember God gave this to you, God can take it away just like that,’” Miller said. “‘So I’ve always went back to that, that moment, whenever something hard came up in college. That kind of keeps driving me, I guess. That moment right there when they said, ‘That’s awesome, Ben, congratulations. But you can do more. This is just the beginning.’” In future years, Miller plans to earn his MBA in between working for consulting fi rms. Ultimately, though, he wants to pursue a career within the aerospace industry. Miller and the others honored this year attended a special ceremony last Saturday in the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, Ill. There, the student Lincoln Laureates were presented with a Lincoln Academy Medallion and a fi nancial award. Hedeman was unable to attend the ceremony with Miller, but said he was very proud and happy for him. “Ben represents the best of his class, his college and his university,” Hedeman said.

STROLL “If you don’t have rhythm, you can get it, but it takes more practice. If you have rhythm, all you need to know are the moves and then you will be able to do it,” he said. The Betas had heard of other fraternities teaching people how to step, so they decided to host a similar strolling event. The original idea was to make money for the fraternity, but since then, it has turned into much more. The Betas hope the event can inform about the strolling culture and show people what their organization is all about. On top of the team competition, other organizations will be strolling and stepping at the event. Felipe Cueva , junior in ACES and president of Sigma Lambda Beta, said that the event is a way to bring people together on campus. “What we are trying to emphasize is the multicultural population on campus, especially when it comes to Latinos.

Akemann said. In addition to a Sunday brunch to conclude the weekend for the Dads Association, tours are also hosted Friday through Sunday for parents to learn about the campus and grasp a better idea of daily student life. “It’s important that people have fun at these events, but there’s a greater hope for a level of appreciation to come from both father and student,” Akemann said. Frye added to Akemann’s sentiment of Dads Weekend. “(Dads) have given a lot of hard work that got you where you are today,” Frye said. “It’s important that we recognize that.” Although focus for the association emphasizes one specific
parent, all family members are readily welcomed. “The board meetings might be a little awkward for certain newcomers,” Akemann said. “But the association and weekend are family-oriented.” While some students aren’t participating in events held by Dads Association, they still plan on spending the weekend with their family. “My relatives and siblings are coming this weekend along with my dad for me to show them around campus and go out to dinner,” said Tyler Zacker, freshman in Business. “We’re all just looking to have a nice, relaxing time.

How to stroll like a Beta T Each organization puts its own spin on strolling to make it have personal meaning to them. Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity likes to add a Latino flavor to their strolling. The Betas decided to hold the event “Stroll Like a Beta” to show nonGreeks what strolling is all about. The event will be held in Gregory Hall on Sunday. Tickets will be sold in advance or at the door for $2. The Betas expect the event to attract a large audience. “We posted it a little less than month ago and the first day within minutes we had maybe over 100 people saying they were going to go,” said Jamaal Rahman, junior in AHS and fundraising chair for Sigma Lambda Beta. They are expecting audience members from all over, including their brothers from Illinois State and Eastern Illinois Universities, Rahman said. The event will consist of a competition between four teams with five to 10 members who are not a part of a Greek organization. Over the last month, the Betas have coached these teams.

he party is packed wall-to-wall, but people begin to separate to leave an open space in the middle. A line of members from Sigma Lambda Beta begin to weave through the crowd, moving with the beats and rhythm of the music. The group is strolling. Strolling is a lot like stepping, which many will remember from “Stomp the Yard.” It is usually performed in a singlefi le line, and the group will do synchronized steps and clap to the music. The dances are choreographed and practiced so that every member is right on point. Strolling takes a bit of confidence: One must be willing to push people out of the way at parties so the group can show off its moves. Strolling has become a large part of the Greek community in recent years but has been a long tradition within the Black Greek system. Many multicultural fraternities and sororities stroll as a way to gain more members and to advertise.

the teams, and one will be named the winner. The team members have shown a lot of enthusiasm for the competition, according to Louis Perez, junior in LAS and stroll chair. Some have uniforms and even playful trash talking has occurred. “All the brothers are talking smack to each other saying that ‘Our team’s going to win.’ ... We have been making videos and have been practicing really hard. We are ready for it,” Perez said. The teams have been working hard to pick up the techniques of strolling at their practices, which are twice a week for a few hours. In total, they will have about 12 practices before the event. Rahman said strolling isn’t too difficult to master.

While many students might grimace at the idea of their parents visiting anywhere near campus, Dads Weekend provides the opportunity for students to change that bleak attitude and bond with their families. Hosted by the Dads Assocation, Dads Weekend features multiple events throughout
campus Friday night to Sunday afternoon to bring families together and celebrate the University. Dads Association president David Akemann highlighted the paternal attraction of the main events. “Friday night opens with a friendly welcome reception followed by the boys’ basketball game against Colgate University that will be coach John
Groce’s inaugural game for Illinois,” Akemann said. “Friday night also serves as the University’s invitational to the Division I Maui tournament, which will defi nitely add to the soldout excitement.” Although emphasis is on the basketball game against Colgate for some dads, Friday night’s reception has its own unique schedule of events. The association gives awards to numer-

ous members and scholarships to several students. The reception in particular highlights the King Dad award, which crowns one prominent father figure who was nominated by students. “All nominations include an essay for why their father figure deserves to be crowned King Dad, and all entries are very heartfelt and moving,” Akemann said. “It’s very difficult to choose one out of the many

DARYL QUITALIG THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Nathan Scheelhaase runs the ball against Indiana at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 27. Scheelhaase and the Illini offense have been searching for a playmaker to create big plays downfield.
Search for offensive playmaker continues Most sacks allowed in Big Ten, lack of big plays cause offensive troubles BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois football team entered this season looking for a playmaker, someone who can create big plays for touchdowns to spark its struggling offense. After the first 10 weeks of the season, the Illini are still looking. No one has emerged with the ability to create explosive plays in the passing game, and the Illini offense has struggled because of it. Illinois averages a mere 4.4 yards per play on offense, the third worst in the NCAA. Take last Saturday’s game as an example of the contrast of Illinois’ offense with its defense that gives up large gains.
Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller generated plays downfield against the Illini. Five of Miller’s first six completion’s went for 24, 31, 32, 51 and 14 yards, compared to Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase’s first 10 completions: minus-7, 8, 9, 5, 7, 9, 11, 6, 7 and 7. A large part of Illinois’ inability to get the ball down the field has been because the team has not been able to protect the quarterback. Early in the season, offensive line injuries were thought to be a big reason, but the starters have returned and the result is still the same. Illini quarterbacks have been sacked 32 times his season, good for last in the Big Ten. That num-
ber surprised Illinois head coach Tim Beckman. “I haven’t been around offenses that give up so many sacks,” Beckman said. Last season, Beckman’s quarterbacks at Toledo were sacked 10 times all year. “It’s very important to me to keep these guys healthy. And how do you do that? You protect them, so they’re not taking hits.” Scheelhaase has already missed two games and most of another with injuries and has only taken 17 of those sacks himself. That’s not counting the number of times he’s been knocked down during the season or hit while running the ball. Beckman has implemented a lot of quick throws to get the ball out of Scheelhaase’s hands as quickly as possible. Taking more chances in the downfield passing game will require Illinois’ wide receivers
out linebacker Jonathan Brown, who will miss Saturday’s game because of a shoulder injury. The Illini will look to some young linebackers like freshman Mike Svetina and sophomore Ralph Cooper to carry the load. Defensive coordinator Tim Banks said he’s spent the week in practice trying to make sure the Illini are focused on their assignments, and they expect to have safety Steve Hull back to help sure up the secondary. “The problem is when we have (secondary breakdowns), they’re usually for tremendous plays so those stick out,” Banks said. “I don’t think it’s as bad as it may seem, but it’s different back there ... in the backend. If you make a mistake, everybody knows.”

Volleyball seeks revenge against No. 2 Penn State
Fifth-year senior forward McLaurin provides Egwu with experienced advice BY ETHAN ASOFSKY AND THOMAS BRUCH SENIOR WRITER AND STAFF WRITER
On paper, Nnanna Egwu and Sam McLaurin are complete opposites. The sophomore Egwu isn’t your traditional center. His greatest asset on offense is his towering jump shot and speed to run the floor in transition, even with his 6-foot-11 frame. On defense, it’s his length. First-year Illini men’s basketball coach John Groce is hoping his center can use his long arms to disrupt shots in the paint and become one of the Big Ten’s leading shot blockers, much like Egwu’s predecessor Meyers Leonard. One probably wouldn’t call McLaurin a traditional center either, as the fifth-year transfer from Coastal Carolina has been told he must learn two positions this season. He’ll back up Egwu at center and see minutes alongside the sophomore center at power forward. He’s listed at a generous 6-foot8, but he’s physical. He’ll play on the block, work the glass and disrupt opposing big men with his tough brand of defense. Because Egwu’s and McLaurin’s games are so different, the two have a lot to teach each other. That becomes obvious in practice, where the two are constantly matched up in drills. “He’s strong, physical and experienced, so he can teach me a lot of things,” Egwu said. “He’s teaching me the way to do things and ways to make shots more easy.” McLaurin admitted that Egwu is the only true collegiate center the Illini have on the current roster, but he said he’s a better back-to-the-basket player because of the experience he gathered en route to becoming Coastal Carolina’s all-time leader in blocked shots and rebounds. Even after four years of college experience, McLaurin is still learning. Egwu’s frame poses problems for him as an undersized big man, and he’s had to adjust his game accordingly. “It helps me with my moves because I know in league play, when we reach the Big Ten, these guys are going to be just as long,” McLaurin said. “His length helps me judge how high to get my hook shot or how high to shoot the ball over him, so definitely going against him has helped me a lot.” Egwu has only played organized basketball since the ninth grade. He arrived at Illinois as a raw, lanky big man, and because he was still figuring out how to use his body, he didn’t see meaningful minutes as a freshman. He’s now the Illini’s primary option at center, and McLaurin said he’s working with Egwu on getting stronger in the paint. “More than anything else, (Egwu) needs to play. He needs to play five-on-five and connect the dots,” Groce said. “I think that’s where Sam’s helped him. Sam’s played so many games and is so experienced as a fifth-year guy that he helps Nnanna stay even keel a little bit.”
to win battles against cornerbacks one-on-one. Ryan Lankford is the only Illini to have 100 yards receiving in a game, which came in Week Five. Illinois misses the presence of a receiver like A.J. Jenkins last year who could stretch defenses and keep opposing defenses from stacking the line of scrimmage. “Yes, we have to take strikes down the field,” Beckman said. “The timing of those shots are important. Anytime you can stretch a defense, it’s important, but we almost make sure we can get proper leverage and separation so we can get those shots, but I do think it’s important for us to be able to get some of that stuff done in the next three weeks.” While Illinois tries to work the ball downfield on offense, the Illini defense is working to limit the big plays the unit is giving up. The Illini will try to do so with-

Illinois’ Mike LaTulip lays the ball in during the Illini win against West Chester at Assembly Hall on Sunday. Groce said the walk-on may crack the team’s nine-man rotation.
Practice makes perfect With the Illini close to Friday’s season opener, Groce wasn’t happy with his team’s focus in Wednesday’s practice. While he didn’t have a problem with the team’s attitude, Groce said he didn’t think his players’ heads were in the right place. Groce is trying to instill a mentality of how the team should approach practice, and so far the team has grasped that concept. He said Wednesday’s practice was a rare outlier. “I tell them all the time, you have to have a mindset to deliberately practice well,” Groce said. “You can’t just show up, get stretched by the strength coach and then warm-up drills start ... and hope that you’re going to have a good practice. It doesn’t work that way. That’s not how you prepare.” The Illini won’t change the intensity of practice Thursday, but it’ll likely be at an earlier time. It will involve less physical contact to save energy for when the games start counting against Colgate.
Groce yet to finalize rotation Groce ideally would like to play a nine-man rotation, using the considerable depth to wear down opponents on the defensive end while pushing the tempo on offense.
See BASKETBALL, Page 6B
When Illinois held a 14-10 advantage in the fifth set of an Oct. 6 match against Penn State, few would have identified the moment as a point on which the rest of the season would be contingent. It was only after the flurry of serves and kills that followed, resulting in a 16-18 Illinois set (and 2-3 match) loss that it became clear that Illinois had missed an opportunity. And only after Illinois lost five of the subsequent seven games did it become clear how useful such a confidence boost would have been for Illinois’ confidence. Had the Illini conquered the Nittany Lions that night and gone to 9-7 instead of falling to .500, they could have turned a weekend that ended up as a sample platter of disappointing losses (the team lost a 2-0 set advantage the previous night versus Ohio State) into a concrete example of overcoming obstacles, both external and internal. There’s no telling what effect that could have on a team still searching for confidence. Head coach Kevin Hambly has rarely been one for speculation. As it stands, the Illini are coming off a recent four-game losing streak, still trying to regain their confidence and needing to come out on top in five of their final six games to make the NCAA tournament. The first of those six games, according to the American Volleyball Coaches Association rankings, is the most challenging: a rematch with the team from Happy Valley that Illinois thinks it should have beat. “That was a really big heartbreaker,” sophomore hitter Liz McMahon said. McMahon had 17 of Illinois’ 65 total team kills
in that game, second to redshirt freshman Jocelynn Birks’ 20. Hambly isn’t using that contest to motivate his players — not with the NCAA tournament slipping from Illinois’ grasp with each loss. “We have motivation because we wanna make the tournament,” Hambly said. “I don’t pull that up like, ‘Hey, we should’ve beat them, let’s go fix the wrongs,’ or whatever. That’s not really how I roll.” Then again, he doesn’t need to bring the game up for his players to remember what happened. “I think there’s a little bit of a revenge factor going into this one,” sophomore middle blocker Anna Dorn said. “We feel like we should’ve won that one when they were here.” The loss took an Illinois losing streak to three games and preceded a 2-5 stretch that is part of a downward spiral that may or may not be over. If the Illini lose Thursday, their conference record drops to 5-10, and their backs officially hit the wall as far as making postseason play. Unofficially, though, Illinois’ mentality is already “do or die,” McMahon said. After becoming anxious in the third set of Saturday’s game against Indiana, the Illini feel that they overcame the very obstacle that may have impeded them from beating Penn State a month ago. “I think we figured out something when we were playing Indiana: that as long as we take a deep breath and don’t get really tense and uptight during the game, that we play a heck of a lot better,” Dorn said. “I think if we can extend that to this weekend and not worry when the other team’s got a couple runs of
See VOLLEYBALL, Page 6B
When a player gets injured on the field, the Illinois women’s soccer team sees the situation as an advantage. The Illini refer to this as a “big five” moment, which is classified as anytime the game stops. The guaranteed “big five” moments of the match occur during the first and last five minutes of the half. These moments are some of the most important for Illinois. “We are really focusing on those five minutes to keep the momentum or regain the momentum,” senior forward Shayla Mutz said. “When someone goes down on the field, we will huddle together and talk about how the next five minutes are crucial to keep composure.” These moments have happened more than the Illini would have liked this season. The team has continued to be inconsistent, with its players suffering from injuries throughout the season. The Illini started the season playing a four-back defensive line because of a change in defensive chemistry from last season. Losing former Illini Jenna Carosio played a huge part in this decision. Freshman Tailor Smith was a new face placed into the back line, where she transitioned well from high school competition before getting injured. Her injury has kept her out of most matches, and she is unable to play in her first Big Ten Tournament. “When I came back from Japan is when we first started dealing with that injury,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “What it meant in terms of having some stability, that we tried to lay Vanessa (DiBernardo) in on top of, we sort of became unstable. There was a whole process of putting that team back together at that point. You lose someone, a freshman especially, who has got played in and gotten confident, and now you have to start all over again.” After suffering an injury, depending on the severity, most Illini players will sit out the next match as a precaution. Freshman Nicole Breece did so after she jumped up to win a 50-50 ball against Michigan State and was headed in the face. She stayed in the game but was later diagnosed with a concussion. This held her out of the next two games against Minnesota and Wisconsin. Though feeling frustration from not being able to contribute, Breece said she saw a different perspective from the bench. “You see things that you don’t see when you are out on the field,” she said. “You start to see things that you can do differently when you are out on the field. It gives me another perspective, and it lets me see what I can improve even when I’m not on the field. It gives me a chance to cheer for my team from the sidelines instead of encouraging on the field.” Rayfield has referred to Mutz as the heart and soul of the Illinois team this year. She suffered a small ankle injury during the middle of the season that kept her out of two Big Ten games. Mutz was on the bench against Wisconsin and Northwestern. Both resulted in close losses. But her return to the field did not go unnoticed, as Mutz scored two consecutive goals in the game against Nebraska.

Bollant enjoying transition to Illinois BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER
After leading the Illinois women’s basketball team to victory with 120 points and only 16 turnovers, sophomore point guard Alexis Smith said she feels very comfortable in head coach Matt Bollant’s up-tempo offense. Smith, who went from averaging 5.6 minutes per game season to starting at point guard, isn’t the only one comfortable with Bollant’s move to Illinois. One infl uential 11-year-old girl has enjoyed the move as well. “Regan, my youngest (daughter), about a month ago, she said, ‘If I had the choice to go back to Green Bay (Wis.) or stay, I would choose here.’” Bollant said. The head coach has been happy with the move six hours south. “It’s been great,” Bollant said. “It’s been a really good move. The family’s done great.” Regan and Abi, Bollant’s 14-year-old daughter, have had to move quite a bit in the past. Since 2000, Bollant has coached at five schools: the University of Evansville, Indiana, Bryan College, Wisconsin-Green Bay and Illinois. Bollant told his daughters that this will be the last move for a while, and said at his opening press conference that they will
graduate from high school here. Abi, a freshman in high school, and Regan, a sixth-grader, will graduate from Judah Christian High School in Champaign. Bollant’s family has also joined the Vineyard Church on Lincoln Avenue in Urbana. Bollant has been busy with speaking engagements, practices, recruiting and getting adjusted since being named head coach on March 28 . His wife, Kari , is used to the busy life that comes with being the wife of Division I coach. “At this level, you’re going to be busy,” Bollant said. “It’s a demanding job and really competitive, and you’ve got to work at it to make it happen.” Bollant’s hard work will culminate in the season opener against the University of Evansville, where he served as an assistant coach from 1997-2000. If it’s anything like the fi rst two games in which Bollant’s squad forced 93 total turnovers, Evansville will feel anything but comfortable in Champaign.
Almost a night of records Tuesday night would have been a night of records for the Illini. Instead, Illinois’ second and fi nal exhibition didn’t count for anything. Illinois’ 120-29 victory over
Division III opponent Concordia would have set five single-game team records, and the performance would have ranked second on two other lists. Illinois would have set the mark for most points in a single game (the current record is 113), most 3-pointers attempted with 35 (28), most steals with 31 (25 ), most turnovers forced with 53 (48) and largest margin of victory with 91 (74). The performance would have ranked second in 3-pointers made with 11 (12) and most field goals made with 46 (50).
Recovering from injury After injuries plagued Illinois throughout October, the Illini dressed 10 of its 11 players against Concordia . “We’ve taken a step,” Bollant said of the team’s health. “We were kind of banged up in October, but part of that was how hard we were practicing. I think our kids have taken their treatment and that stuff really seriously, and that’s made it better for our team.” “Kind of banged up” seems to have been an understatement. Bollant said starting center Karisma Penn was suffering from tendonitis and a sprained wrist, and starting forward Kersten Magrum suffered a con-

Former player coaches Rooney continues to help Illini, goalies from behind bench BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER
MICHAEL BOJDA THE DAILY ILLINI
Dan Rooney, at the time a senior goaltender, guards the net during a game last season against Indiana. Rooney, now a fifth-year student at the University, is the goalie coach for the Illini.
For the fi rst four years of his college hockey career, Dan Rooney woke up every day, went to class and then to the ice rink where he would suit up in heavy padding and stand in front of a small, solid disk capable of traveling over 100 mph. Rooney, now in his fifth year of college, still repeats the routine daily. Except now, he’s not putting on the pads, but mentoring the Illini’s four goaltenders on how to keep the puck out of the net. “A year ago, I found out I had to be in school for another full year,” Rooney said. “So I knew right away as soon as my career was over that I wanted to help the team out as much as possible.” Last season, Rooney split time with current junior starting Illini goaltender Nick Clarke. Rooney
started 11 games and pitched one shutout. More importantly, however, Rooney has maintained a strong bond with his former teammate. “(Clarke’s) my roommate right now,” Rooney said. “We both came in here at the same time, and ever since we came, we’ve developed a great friendship. I’m a bit older, so he’s always seeked my advice, and I’ve always been there to give him pointers whether I was playing or on the bench coaching “Not much has changed between us. I’ve always known that he’s had the ability of being one of the best goalies in the country.” Rooney said his goals have not changed. His goal is the same as head coach Nick Fabbrini’s and Clarke’s: to win a national championship. “I want to contribute as much as I can to help this team make a run at a national championship,” he said. “My other goal is to help every goalie on this roster fi nish the season a much better goalie than they started.”
While the Illinois hockey team was devoid of a goaltender coach in Rooney’s time at Illinois, Rooney said he learned how to coach through his experience with various youth teams. Over the last five summers, Rooney has coached youth hockey camps, teaching both goaltending and defensive tactics. He is now the head coach of a local AA bantamlevel hockey team. “I feel like I’ve always been a better coach of goalies than I’ve actually been a goalie myself,” he said. “I’ve gotten used to paying attention to little details that a lot of people don’t pay attention to in the game.” Under Rooney’s tutelage, Clarke is having the best year of his career so far. Through 16 starts, Clarke has already surpassed his career high in wins, with 10. Clarke also improved his goals against average by .53 points, from 2.91 last year to 2.38 this year.

Cutler says Bears’ offense won’t catch up to defense BY ANDREW SELIGMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The idea that the Chicago Bears’ offense will match its jaw-dropping defense this season just might be a little far-fetched. That’s the word from quarterback Jay Cutler. “We’re not going to catch the defense this year,” Cutler said. “It’s not going to happen. We’re eight, nine years behind those guys. They’ve been in the same system a long time. We’ve just go to focus on ourselves. Every guy has just got to get a little bit better each week, every day at practice. If we get a little bit better by the end of the season, we’ll be better.” For all the hype coming into the season, the offense remains a work in progress. That hasn’t stopped the Bears (7-1, No. 3 In AP Pro32) from grabbing the NFC
North lead heading into Sunday’s showdown with AFC South leader Houston. It just hasn’t happened quite the way they envisioned. Now, they’re going against a dominant defense in a matchup between two of the league’s best teams. It’s a big test for an offense that many thought had the potential to be explosive isn’t quite living up to the billing. “I think you guys have to understand we’re not going to look like the New England Patriots,” star receiver Brandon Marshall said. “We’re not going to look like the New Orleans Saints’ offense. We’re the Chicago Bears’ offense.” And it might not be as shiny and flashy, at least not this season. That didn’t stop Marshall from pointing out that the offense scored 37 points in last week’s
51-20 win at Tennessee, even though three of that group’s touchdowns came on drives of 16 yards or less. The offense really didn’t do much in that game until the second half. He mentioned that the Bears have an elite quarterback in Cutler and running back in Matt Forte. Yet, he also said those expecting the Bears’ offense to resemble New England’s, New Orleans’, Green Bay’s or even Denver’s when he and Cutler were there should probably forget about that, at least for now. “We’re going to do it our own way,” Marshall said. So when will it really click? “I’m thinking 2015,” he said in jest, before turning serious. “We have goals. We want to win now. We want to win now. We’re doing a good job of it and will we be a No. 1 offense this year? I don’t
know. It doesn’t look like it but what we’re doing is effective. We just have to be a little bit more productive and start a little bit faster.” The Bears rank 25th overall on offense and 29th in the passing game, a surprise considering how dominant Marshall has been. Now, they’re about to meet a defense that might be overshadowed a bit this week even though it ranks among the league’s best. For all the publicity the Bears’ defenders are getting, consider what the Texans are doing. They’re third overall on defense, second against the run and fourth against the pass. They’re tied with Chicago for third with 25 sacks along with the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks, including a leagueleading 101/2 by J.J. Watt, and they’re going up against a team
with well-documented issues when it comes to protection. Cutler has been sacked 28 times and is second only to Aaron Rodgers in that category. “He has been sacked a lot,” Texans outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus said. “They’re having a lot of difficulty in pass protection. Any defensive players likes that, so the thing is, we’re going to work our best moves and try to get to him as best we can.” And yet, the Texans also realize they could be in for a tough time. No one needs to remind them about Cutler’s mobility and arm strength, Forte’s versatility in the backfield or Marshall’s sheer dominance so far. The Bears’ prized offseason acquisition, he’s second in the league with 797 yards receiving on 59 receptions. “Everybody knows the type of player he is,” said Houston safety
Danieal Manning, who played in Chicago from 2006-10. “He’s been targeted much now that he’s back with his guy (Cutler). Those guys are hooking up a lot. Brandon has been catching it well, he’s a bigbody guy who can run routes and stretch the field. Wherever he is, you’d be crazy not to pay attention to where that guy is. Not only him, they do have other playmakers on that team.” Yet, the Bears are still a bit clunky on offense at times, particularly early in games. “I think we’ve got to recognize what they’re playing and attack them a certain way according to what coverage and fronts we’re seeing,” Cutler said. “It’s a mixed bag of things, but at the end of the day, with our defense, as long as we make another team’s offense go 80, 90 yards, I think we’re going to be OK.”

FANTASY DOCTOR
Time to elect America’s fantasy contenders Quarterback Griffin, Chicago Bears defense good picks for team JACK CASSIDY Fantasy doctor
N
ot so fast, American voting populace. The White House has been decided, but there is one more election we must analyze — the midseason fantasy football elections. It’s that point in the year when we look at what these players have done for the game of fantasy football and we commend those who have excelled. Who has been the best at each position? Who’s been the best running back? Tell me, doc. Tell me! Relax. The awards answer all. Without further ado, the fantasy doctor midterm election results.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers vs. Robert Griffin III As an American and a fantasy football player, you know what you’re going to get with Mr. Rodgers. He’s the model of consistency. The never-failing, nev-
BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1B Yet Groce does not have his idealized roster in his first season at Illinois, and the nine-man rotation might not be feasible with glaring question marks at the tail-end of the roster. In two exhibition games in which coaches often experiment with varied rotation combinations, the emergent ninth man for Illinois was an unlikely one — freshman walk-on Mike LaTulip. The generously listed 6-foot LaTulip scored eight points on a perfect field goal percentage in the two exhibition games and even pulled down an offensive rebound. Groce explained that LaTulip was grading out well in practice,
er-flinching leader of the Packers, Rodgers is once again the top points scorer in fantasy. You can really never go wrong with Aaron Rodgers. On the other side, challenger Mr. RG3 brings an insurgence of youth and excitement into a previously drab Redskins organization. And the fantasy points keep piling up — second only to Rodgers, who is a star, but RG3’s a different animal. If he keeps finding the endzone, rushing and throwing, his production has no limits. Also, he’s playing in Washington, so that has to count for something. CNN projected winner — Robert Griffin III, Redskins
Running back Doug Martin (Green Party) vs. Arian Foster vs. Adrian Peterson Mr. Martin made a last-minute campaign trip to Oakland, Calif., on Sunday in an attempt to capture the people’s attention and their vote. With maybe the best day in fantasy history, he succeeded. But is one immortal week enough to win the running back race? No. Foster and Peterson, like Rodgers, can do no wrong. Both in the top three of running back scoring, Peterson already over 1,000 total yards, Foster already with 10 rushing touchdowns. The race is almost too and after a discussion with the assistant coaches, he was given the opportunity as the ninth man. LaTulip’s biggest hindrance from cracking the rotation is the evolution of his skillset, which is reliant on the 3-pointer, and his ball-handling deficiencies resulted in two turnovers against West Chester. “The first half, he was pretty good,” Groce said of LaTulip’s performance against West Chester. “The second half, he struggled a bit. But Mike’s his toughest critic. He’s a tough kid. He did some good things in practice that warranted him getting the opportunity (Sunday).”

close to call. But the deciding factor is one candidate’s freakish ability to recover from devastating ACL injuries in fewer than nine months. Human beings shouldn’t be able to do that. Carle Clinic projected winner — Adrian Peterson, Vikings
Wide receiver A.J. Green vs. Brandon Marshall What started out as a runaway, one-sided race for Mr. Green has turned into a battle thanks to Mr. Marshall’s recent fantasy outburst — nine receptions for 121 yards and three touchdowns in the Bears’ last game, six touchdowns in his past five games. Marshall’s ability to find the endzone has him close in many of the exit polls, but he couldn’t close the gap completely. Green holds the edge over Marshall because of the allimportant characteristic of consistency. He has scored a touchdown in seven straight games. ABC News projected winner — A.J. Green, Bengals
Tight end Rob Gronkowski (unopposed) Most touchdowns among tight ends, most yards among tight ends. No one else merits discussion.
VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE 1B points like that, that we’re going to be OK.” For the seniors, this will be the final time heading to State College, Pa., to face the Russ Roseled Nittany Lions. Given the dire situation their season is in, however, setter Annie Luhrsen and company have no time for sentimentality. “I mean, you approach it like any other game,” Luhrsen said. “It’s a competition and we’re excited because we know they’re a good team. Kinda when I was talking about matching up against Purdue last week and how we thought it’d be a really just fun and exciting match, I think the same goes for Penn State.”
Bud Light Platinum projected winner — Gronk, Patriots
Defense Chicago Bears (unopposed) Same story for the Bears. In the history of sport, no has taken the phrase “the best offense is a good defense” more literally than this team. They have seven touchdowns, only four fewer than the Jacksonville Jaguars offense. Repeat: only four fewer than an NFL offense. It’s incredible, and it’s fun to watch. Mike Ditka’s projected winner — Chicago Bears
Kicker (All kickers on the ballot) In a tight race among 32 candidates, knowing who to vote for can be tough because kickers are all the same. What are the hot-button issues? What’s their stance on going for two? Do they like the left hash mark or the right hash mark? Are they easily iced? In the end, I went out on a limb and voted on a single issue: who has made the most field goals. Call me crazy. Bill and Martin Gramatica’s projected winner — Lawrence Tynes, Giants ELISE AMENDOLA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski spikes the ball after a touchdown against the New York Jets in Foxborough, Mass., on Oct. 21. Gronkowski has easily been the best tight end for fantasy so far this year.
Dorn added that Penn State plays a more “high,” powerful style of offense, and not a speedoriented offense like Indiana. This allows the blockers more time to get into position, which plays to Dorn and senior middle Erin Johnson’s advantage. Matching up well with Penn State is one thing — one that Illinois has already done this year — but beating the No. 2 team in the country will take something more. The Illini think they do have something they haven’t necessarily had all season: nothing, in the way of pressure or expectations. “We have nothing to lose at this point,” Dorn said. “So I think that can make us dangerous.”

FROM PAGE 1B “I think we have a lot of people that contribute to the heart and soul of our team, and we have a lot of leaders on the team,” Mutz said. “I think I got those goals because I had so much competitive energy built up in me from not playing and so much energy in general. We had a lot of people step up when I was out, so it was exciting to watch that.” Though struggling with adversity the entire season, everything has seemed to come together for the Illini. Ending their regular season with two quality victories propelled Illinois into the fifth seed at the Big Ten Tournament. Though the Illini came up short in the
championship game, they defeated No. 1-seeded Penn State in the semifinals, handing the Nittany Lions their first shutout and loss of the conference season. “I think we really showed it in the Big Ten Tournament,” Rayfield said. “The heart of this team has been forged by adversity, but it’s adversity that we can overcome. It wasn’t that we didn’t have players that could step up, it wasn’t that we couldn’t do those needed things, it’s just that we had to do them in a different way. I think the heart, tenacity and the resolve that this team has as a result of that is something that can serve us very well in the NCAA tournament.”
