BY BRITTNEY NADLER STAFF WRITER

Four arsons have hit Champaign since Aug. 1, although the total number of cases has decreased since last year, said Champaign Fire Marshal John Koller. “I don’t know that this is anything unusual, necessarily,� he said. “When we have a cluster of a few close together in the same neighborhood, that’s what really gets our attention as far as how they’re happening.� Koller confirmed that 16 arsons occurred in Champaign in 2012. Ten fi res have been reported so far in 2013, six of which have been determined to be arson. He said the causes of two fires are undetermined, and the additional two fires, which were dumpster and car fi res, are not considered to be arson. Police have apprehended a suspect that they think may be responsible for an arson that occurred at 1107 Lincolnshire Dr. on Oct. 8. “I think the efforts by Champaign police and Champaign fire have been working so far, and we will continue to pursue anybody that we suspect of having any involvement with this,� Koller said. To combat the arsons, the Champaign Fire Department has been holding weekly meetings and has increased patrol in the neighborhood where many of the arsons have occurred, Koller said. The neighborhood has also formed a neighborhood association. “If they see something that looks out of place to them, call 9-1-1 and get a police officer

Campus pushes for increased diversity in Engineering STAFF WRITER

As Sakshi Srivastava, junior in Engineering, walked outside of the Grainger Engineering Library, she saw a statue of a man on a bench, whom students typically refer to as “Grainger Bob.� She thought to herself how cool it would be to see a female counterpart statue on the Engineering Quad and decided to petition for one. Student senator Joshua Baalman, sophomore in LAS, said that this will fit in with Chancellor Phyllis Wise’s strategic planning to increase diversity and inclusion within the University at all levels. In an effort to renew the commitments of the University to women in engineering, Srivastava hopes to erect a statue in front of

the new Electrical and Computer Engineering building. “I read a paper about why the community has public art and what it does for the society,� Srivastava said. “It shows the commitment of the people. We already do so many great things such as the Society of Women Engineers, Society of Women in ECE, and the colleges hold women in engineering programs and take the freshman women engineers to a camp. So why not get a statue that would add to their efforts?� Susan Larson, assistant dean for the College of Engineering and director of Women in Engineering, said her college tries to teach by example through their research and through the images and artwork they have on campus.

“The statue would show a message that this is something we’re supportive of and that we’re inclusive and diverse,� she said. Though many have asked Srivastava what specific female engineer she pictured for the statue, she said she just wants a racially ambiguous statue in an effort to be more inclusive. First, she set out to find support from campus organizations. Srivastava met with Baalman, who proposed a resolution to Illinois’s Student Senate to show more support for women in engineering, which passed 26 to 3, with three abstentions, at the Nov. 6 meeting. “I think it’s important to say that we as the student body are going to be supporting you and working with you,� Baalman said. “Most of

the time, ISS gets a negative view that we don’t do anything for the students, but this clearly shows that somebody is willing to do something. This not only says we are in support of women in engineering, but we are also in support of student-led projects, goals and aims.� However, statue price ranges typically stand between six and seven figures, a number that ISS cannot fund, Srivastava said. Another resolution was submitted to the Urbana-Champaign Senate by the Committee of Equal Opportunity and Inclusion. The full senate will likely vote on the measure next month, Baalman said.

Six arsons reported in Champaign in 2013 to date

A total of 10 fires have been reported in Champaign with six of them being arsons. This number is less than last year’s total of 16 arsons. • 205 N. Victor Street, Jan. 22 • 407 S. State Street, April 12 • 108 E. John Street, Aug. 1 • 1618 W. University Avenue, Oct. 8 • 1107 Lincolnshire Drive, Oct. 8 • 208 W. William Street, Oct. 19 SOURCE: CHAMPAIGN FIRE MARSHAL JOHN KOLLER

down there,� Koller said. “If it happens to be Bob, their neighbor just walking their dog, then so be it. No harm, no foul.� In Urbana, the number of arsons has dropped from 14 last year to eight this year. Interim Fire Chief Brian Nightlinger believes the decrease is a result of the Urbana Fire Department’s full investigation of every fire reported. “We’re very active in investigating these cases and prosecuting these cases, so I think if you get a reputation for doing that, people may choose not to (commit arson),� Nightlinger said. “We’ve really had a pretty good year this last year and so we’re keeping our fi ngers crossed.�

Private donations on the rise, driving funds for University BY TAYLOR ODISHO STAFF WRITER

With federal funding in the state of Illinois decreasing, the University has seen an increase in private donations in recent years, which helps to fund expenses. Some of these expenses include student recruitment and retention, said Marlah McDuffie, associate dean for advancement in the College of Media. “We are increasingly relying on private funding to handle very basic needs from scholarships, internships and faculty support,� McDuffie said. Cuts from the federal budget may cause long-term harm to research, and universities must think creatively about how they will fi ll those gaps in the budget, said Melissa Edwards, director of research communications in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research. “The problems facing society aren’t going away, and as a land grant, research intensive university, we have an obligation to create knowledge for a diverse and complex world,� Edwards said. Private donations, which come from individuals and corporations, provide funding to fi nd answers to issues in society. This private funding is critical to higher education, especially in public education, which tends to rely on federal funding. Most of these private donations come from University alumni and private donors. These donations have helped the University set records in regards to how much has been raised. “We also established a new

record raising, in what we call new business, $434.9 million,� said Don Kojich, vice president for marketing and communications at the University of Illinois Foundation. New business includes new gifts, grants, pledges and deferred commitments, which come from a donor’s last will and testament, but does not necessarily include donors who haven’t previously donated. At the end of December 2011, the University completed the eight-and-a-half year Brilliant Futures Campaign, which includes the entire University of Illinois system. During that time, the University was able to raise $2.43 billion in gifts, commitments and pledges, Kojich said. “Fundraising is all about developing and building relationships and cultivating those relationships,� Kojich said. “The gifts don’t happen overnight, so you’re always looking to develop and build upon those.� In order to gain the most from their private donations, UIF administers to the passions of its donors. For example, it will approach alumni from the College of Media for a gift specific to that college because the alum has ties to it and is more likely to make a donation. “You’re trying to take the University’s strategic vision and priorities and match that up with the interests and passion of the donor to come together,� Kojich said. In the next seven to ten years, the foundation’s goal is to raise $450 million in cash per year.

The University has also made partnerships with companies and foundations, like the Grainger Foundation, that have resulted in large donations. “State Farm is a great example of a company the University had a great partnership with for a long time, and not just for athletics,� Kojich said. “They’ve had a great presence for Research Park, funding scholarships and internships, and that’s just one example.� These donations drive the reputation the University has built as a global brand and as a top university in the nation. “In order to attract great students, you have to have a great faculty,� Kojich said. “The University has the faculty and a long history of excellence with Nobel Prize winners, Pulitzer Prize winners, graduates who have gone on to become CEOs and successful in their fi eld, whatever field they have.�

YMCA loses grant from Catholic organization BY CLAIRE HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development decided not to renew grant funding for the University YMCA’s immigrant projects. This decision came after the campaign added a new condition into the grant, stipulating that the YMCA must cut ties with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, an organization that the YMCA receives much support from. The YMCA decided not to comply.

nothing guarantees a grant on a year-to-year basis. Every time it is renewed, the organization receiving the grant must comply with its conditions. He also mentioned that the funding for the campaign comes from Catholics all across the nation, and that the bishops of the United States do not feel comfortable using money their parishioners donated for purposes that are contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church.

“We were notified when we reapplied for a second year of funding that it was going to be raised to $60,000, I think reflecting the good work that was happening here, but with that came the condition that we would have to withdraw from this statewide organization that we work closely with because they had come out in support of same-sex marriage,� said Mike Doyle, executive director of the University YMCA.

Champaign Fire Dept. to receive grant BY BRITTNEY NADLER STAFF WRITER

The Champaign Fire Department is one of nine Illinois departments that will be receiving a $10,000 grant from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency to help maintain emergency communications equipment, said Steve Clarkson, Champaign Fire Department deputy fi re chief. The equipment is part of a portable trailer called the Illinois Transportable Emergency Communications Suite, or ITECS. Nine ITECS are located throughout the state that serve to improve the interoperability between emergency responders when normal communication is not possible, Clarkson said. “We’ve struggled before,� said Mike Bayless, communications lead of the Champaign Fire Department. “As we took possession of the trailer, the agreement was that each agency who hosted (an ITECS) was responsible for updating and maintaining the equipment with the price of a lot of equipment on the trailer. It’s difficult to do that.� If a disaster is experienced in a part of the state, the areas that are unaffected send their ITECS to aid the communication in the area, Clarkson said. The last time the Champaign ITECS was used was during 2011 flooding in Marion, Ill. “Those are really vital pieces of emergency communications equipment that we strategically staged around the state,� said Patti Thompson, media contact for the Illinois Emergency Man-

the power to compel the head of Facilities and Services to build the statue, but senators can offer their recommendations and talk to the building committee, he added. Srivastava recalls being the only girl in her lab class over the summer, and in another summer engineering class, there were only two girls enrolled in the class, including herself. “There’s definitely a disparity,� Srivastava said. “There are times when you’re in the lab and guys get together and start talking and I think, ‘I wish I had a girlfriend where I could talk about my stuff.’ The males do not discriminate, but sometimes when you are the only girl in the class, it’s hard.� She also added that a lot of women drop out of engineering their freshman year because they do not like the major, but maybe they would like it more if they had more female friends in their classes. This year, the University enrolled 43,398 students total, 19,334, or 45 percent, of which are female. The College of Engineering has 10,039 students, and 1,763 of them are female, making 18 percent of the engineering students female. According to a report released by the University of Wisconsin— Milwaukee in 2011, only 11 percent of practicing engineers are women. Additionally, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics cited that the percent of women mechanical engineers has remained static over the past five years, only rising by .1 percent. “If we look at the past three to four decades, the percent of women in engineering has been stubborn between 15 and 20 percent,� Larson said. “It’s been a long time that we’ve been aware of this issue and trying to improve it.� According to the National Science Foundation, between 2000 and 2008, the percentage of women receiving undergraduate engineering degrees decreased 2 percent. “It seems that right now, there are equal numbers of women coming out of high school with the same math and science preparation as men,� Larson said. “But for some

pens,� he said. “They want to see the fire truck arrive and see the guys put the fi re off. A lot of times if an arsonist starts a fire, he’ll be going away from the property, which is really abnormal behavior.� Champaign Fire Department takes a similar approach to investigating fires. To determine if a fire was deliberately set, Koller

said the department employs a systematic approach. The process includes interviewing witnesses and homeowners as well as photographing and investigating the area for sources that could start a fire, such as an extension cord. “We would go to that area of origin, and then we try to find a point of origin,� Koller said. “We do that through just looking at

agement Agency. “There had to be a response agency that took responsibility for that piece of equipment.� The department has owned the trailer since 2006 and Bayless estimates that radios, batteries and satellite equipment that provide wireless Internet will be updated or replaced with the grant. Physical parts of the trailer, such as the axel, which was undersized when it was purchased and is in need of an upgrade before it breaks and damages the trailer, will also be maintained, Bayless said. “The problem we’re getting into now is that the updates are no longer being provided for the hardware that’s on there, so the hardware itself has to be upgraded which is hopefully what this money from IEMA will allow us to do,� he said. The grant money comes from the state’s Sept. 11 fund, a fund that is specially designated to help with response organizations and victims of terrorism, Thompson said. “(The Sept. 11 fund) is money that comes from the special license plates that say ‘America Remembers,’� she said. “That’s a special license plate that people can get, and there’s an additional fee on those special plates that add fees that go into the Sept. 11 fund.� The money has not yet been received by the department, although all departments have been made aware of the grant, Thompson said.

reason, women aren’t choosing engineering. It could be that they are seeing a lot of other options for themselves and they find themselves talented in a lot of things and are choosing other things. But it could be that they don’t see engineering as the creative, interactive, contributing career that it is.� A nationwide effort is taking place to try to get underrepresented students into engineering — both women and underrepresented minorities, Larson said. “It’s a matter of talent,� Larson said. “If you’re not attracting people from all aspects of your population, you’re losing talent. So through outreach, we’re trying to recruit underrepresented students.� Rachel Beck, external vice president of the registered student organization Society of Women Engineers and junior in Engineering, agreed that being a women in engineering can be a “bit more challenging.� She said it helps to be a member of the Society of Women Engineers so they can connect to other women in the field. “In some of my classes, especially some of my project groups for engineering, there have definitely been times where I was the only female,� Beck said. “Sometimes it’s a little intimidating because you don’t know if my opinion is different from theirs just because I’m a woman, but I think it’s good to have someone with a different perspective.� The Society of Women Engineers is a national organization, which holds a chapter on campus, and consists of a professional, social and outreach organization. “SWE does support any kind of recognition to women’s accomplishments in the field of engineering, and we are always looking to inspire more women to become engineers and to become leaders,� Beck said. “(The statue) will definitely encourage more women on our campus, along with potential students.� Srivastava has an ongoing online petition calling for student support on her endeavour.

Rotary Club of Champaign to fund reading program BY ANGELICA LAVITO STAFF WRITER

Students at Robeson Elementary School will be introduced to new books throughout the school year thanks to a reading program provided by the Champaign Public Library. The Rotary Club of Champaign gave the library a $14,800 grant to fund the reading program at the school. The program will provide each third and fourth grade classroom at Robeson, a Champaign Unit 4 school, with 200 new books and will provide the media center with 350 books. The classrooms also received new shelving to present the books in a way that will appeal to students. The librarians visit monthly to tell students about the books they are giving to the classroom. Twice a year, the students pick one book that they can take home with them. Students will also receive a tour of the Champaign Public Library. “We love the program,� said Allison Archer, library teacher at Robeson. “It’s caused a lot of excitement for the kids. They can hardly wait for the public librarians to come in and do their book talks and bring more books to their classrooms ... The classrooms have newer books and enough copies that everybody gets a turn with them.� Before the program, Archer said students sometimes had to wait to check out books at the school library, but now they are able to provide students with enough of the popular books that they do not have to wait. “We did this before with Garden Hills Elementary School and got good feedback,� said Mike Rogalla, children’s librarian at the Champaign Public Library. “We found from teachers that students were more engaged in reading, they were reading books from beginning to end, they were choosing to read during indoor recess, asking for more books by the authors we showed them and a number of kids got their first library card to get even more books.� According to the library’s grant application, the program focuses on third and fourth graders because 53 percent of students in

Champaign Unit 4 School District come from low-income homes. Of these fourth graders, 68 percent scored below the proficient level, which is solid mastery for their grade level, in reading on the Illinois Standard Achievement Test in 2011, while 35 percent scored in the academic warning category. President of the Rotary Club of Champaign John Calderon said the Rotary Club and its members overwhelmingly approved the grant to serve the community’s needs and promote literacy in Champaign’s children. “Rotary International, which is our main body, believes that educating our young children in early ages, as we all know, will better them in the future,� Calderon said. “The more time we spend in helping educate them in reading, their futures will be much brighter.� Calderon said funds from the Joseph H. Cannon memorial grant were used to pay for this program. The grant’s purpose is to pursue the Rotary Club’s passion of educating the community’s children. The program provides students with books that librarians think will excite students, thus encouraging them to read more. Some of the books include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Babymouse as well as the Ivy and Bean series. Each month, Rogalla goes to Robeson to distribute the books. He gives students a synopsis in hopes of peaking their interests. “It’s very rewarding for us to go into classrooms and see the kids really looking forward to this and wanting more of it and choosing with their own free time while they’re at school to read these books they’ve been provided with,� Rogalla said. The program’s continuation depends on funds, and Archer hopes the program is able to continue. “We think (the program) is wonderful and the public library did so much work and the Rotary was very generous with the grant,� Archer said. “It’s just really nice to see people backing the schools, reading to the kids and just getting them excited about what they’re doing.�

Maryland’s PR campaign distracts Big Ten transition

Quick Commentary delivers bits of relevant and important issues on campus or elsewhere. We write it, rate it and stamp it. When something happens that we are not pleased with: DI Denied. When something happens that we like: Alma Approved.

W

hen Maryland announced it was joining the Big Ten last November after nearly 60 years in the Atlantic Coast Conference, University President Wallace Loh called the move a “watershed moment� for the campus that had been facing financial struggles in its athletic department. A 2012 Sports Illustrated article estimated that by joining the Big Ten, Maryland would make $100 million more by 2020. Maryland would also bring in nearly $12 million more during the 2014-15 season than it would by remaining in the ACC. Though Maryland’s financial problems were known to the public (it announced in November 2011 that it was cutting eight of its 27 varsity sports programs for the 2012-13 season, namely swimming and crosscountry), it nevertheless evoked an array of reactions among students, alumni and fans. University officials feared negative reactions from fans regarding the move, so much so that it asked for the blessing of alumnus and Under Armour founder Kevin Plank, who had donated millions of dollars to the athletic program. Although Loh continued to highlight the benefits of transitioning to the Big Ten, fans expressed their loyalties — to the ACC, to rivalries against Virginia and Duke and to time-honored traditions. Naturally, Maryland officials launched a public relations campaign to turn the tide in favor of the move, The Baltimore Sun reported earlier this month. Just as negotiations between Maryland and the Big Ten were kept secret until the deal was announced, so was its PR campaign — that is until The Baltimore Sun surfaced it by obtaining documents and emails. Lee Zeidman, corporate communications consultant who assisted Maryland in its PR strategies, referred to the campaign as “standard operating procedure,� not only at universities, but also in businesses and government. However, the PR campaign is essentially masking how students, fans and alumni legitimately feel about the move and what it means for the state of the Big Ten Conference. Although the move may bring new opportunities and directions to the university, we have to wonder how much it will benefit its students. If initial reactions and emotions among students were negative, and this PR campaign is meant to “balance� positive and negative sentiments, are students voices being heard? Even more important to note is who this campaign is targeting: Its legion of Terrapins fans — not current members of either conference and not national pundits (although it wouldn’t hurt for them to put in a good word for the university’s move, like Maryland had hoped alumnus Scott Van Pelt of ESPN would do). Sure, it’s more exposure for the football team — and it means a rebirth for some of the smaller, previously cut varsity teams. And sure, raking in millions of dollars in the Big Ten Conference isn’t so bad either. But fans are emotional; they’re attached to what most of them have known their entire college careers and lives. Regardless, the move is going to happen. There’s no turning back now. What Maryland officials need to focus on now is easing the transition for not only its university-community, but student-athletes themselves — after all, they’re the ones bringing in money for the cash-strapped department. But Maryland’s “watershed moment� will come when a PR campaign like this — a distraction, in our opinion — isn’t necessary.

During the presentation by actress, writer, producer and transgender activist, Laverne Cox, at the Illini Union Ballroom Tuesday evening, she introduced us to whole new fashion mindset — one which she lived by for many years of her life: Salvation Armani. This fashion concept stems from the idea of buying cheap clothes and utterly rocking them, instead of spending the fat stacks that we clearly don’t have on brand-name clothing. Those who might be interested in this fashion mantra might also be the same people who choose to pronounce Target as “Tar-jay� and wear oversized Bill Cosby sweaters.

Because it seems that nearly 99.87 percent of us grew up in the Chicago suburbs, you think we’d be accustomed to Illinois weather by now. But that doesn’t mean we don’t all cry and complain when the weather drops down to the mid-30s. If you were outside at different points of the day Monday, for example, you may have found that you were wearing a sweatshirt and sunglasses in the morning and your heaviest, down feather coat at night. Despite our experience with this kind of manicdepressive weather, it still strikes when we least expect it — especially considering it should be in the 60s by the weekend. At this point, we should all just be wearing snow pants, rain boots, a tank top and sunglasses just to keep us prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws at us next.

Fiction can complement reality in modern history films ANDREW HORTON Opinions columnist

W

hat is the best way to remember the past? Keep an accurate record of everything that happened or just capture the overall emotion? This dilemma has been illustrated by two recent films dealing with the heavy theme of slavery, namely Steve McQueen’s “12 Years a Slave� and Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained.� The first takes a realistic approach to illustrate the brutal reality of slavery in the South, whereas the latter takes a more abstract approach with a story that was artificially constructed to be entertaining. “12 Years a Slave,� released in October, is based on the autobiography of Solomon Northup, a free black man from New York who was kidnapped into slavery. It is an intense, emotional story that does not shy away from presenting the brutality of slavery in a very plain and unsettling manner — including explicit representations of whippings and hangings, among other grotesque acts. “Django Unchained,� on the other hand, is Tarantino’s unique twist on the subject in the form of a spaghetti western. The film centers on the story of Django, who falls into the company of a bounty hunter and goes on a quest to reunite with his wife who had been sold away from him. It touches on many themes, but relies on fictional plot devices that illustrate emotion but do not have any historical basis.

Both films have received critical acclaim. “Django Unchained� was nominated for best picture at last year’s Academy Awards, and “12 Years a Slave� is likely to be a top contender this year. So the question remains: Which of these styles is preferable in exploring such a sensitive topic? Few people would criticize the sincere style of a movie like “12 Years a Slave.� A columnist for The New Yorker proclaimed that the movie “is easily the greatest feature film ever made about American slavery.� On the other hand, many people were quick to jump on Tarantino for his new version of history. For instance, Spike Lee stated, “it’s disrespectful to my ancestors, to see that film.� The trouble is that many fail to see how an abstract interpretation of an issue can bring new light to it. For example, a major plot element in “Django Unchained� is the sport of Mandingo fighting, which involves slaves being forced to fight to the death as a form of entertainment. Historians agree that nothing of the sort occurred, noting that it would not make any sense for slave owners to risk their valuable property in such a way. However, the device is certainly intriguing and manages to illustrate the dehumanizing way in which slaves were treated and how Southern tradition often pitted man against man. As Tarantino stated, “I want to do movies that deal with America’s horrible past with slavery and stuff but do them like spaghetti westerns, not like big issue movies. I want to do them like they’re genre films, but they deal with everything that America has never dealt with because it’s ashamed of it.�

This style, while often deviating from historical accuracy, leads to a unique kind of story that is more engaging for audiences and generates new ways of thinking about wellknown issues. For instance, while most people would tell you how great a movie “12 Years a Slave� was, fewer would tell you that they would want to sit through it again. Tarantino’s film generates the opposite reaction due to its integrated comic relief and more upbeat ending. This is not to say that an abstract style is better, but rather that the two styles are complementary. While both films were violent and gory, I think “12 Years a Slave� did a far superior job of driving home how horrifically real slavery was — more so than what you would get out of reading a textbook in school. As Tarantino acknowledged about the violence in his film, “I’m here to tell you, that however bad things get in the movie, a lot worse shit actually happened.� At the same time, the plot of “Django Unchained� enabled for the exploration of additional themes, particularly revenge, which could not possibly have been as successfully implemented in a story that perfectly followed history. Ultimately fiction can complement reality. While the need remains for films that preserve historical accuracy to put emotion in proper context, it is important that filmmakers continue to push the boundaries of conventional genres to further stimulate these profound emotions in the first place.

“The Office�: A show that comforts, entertains and inspires NICKI HALENZA Assistant opinions editor

I

laughed. I cried. I laughed while I cried. I cried while I laughed. But mostly I just laughed. Not many people have that effect on me, so when they do, it generates a rare and special bond that holds tight and lasts a lifetime. If I never love again, I will be OK because I will always be at peace knowing I had nine magical years of bliss. The relationships I have formed with Michael, Dwight, Jim, Pam and the rest of the gang (heck, even Toby) are some that I hold closest to my heart. These hypothetical, imaginary connections are with characters from the popular mockumentary show, “The Office.� The fact that I have nearly 800 words of gushing, overflowing love for a TV show is a sign that the writers and producers did something so totally right. So I bow down to you Greg Daniels, Paul Lieberstein, Mindy Kaling, B.J. Novak and the rest of the amazing cast and crew who contributed to this artistic genius-ness that manifests itself in “The Office.� The simplicity of this show is what makes it what it is. The series follows the lives of the employees of a Scranton, Pa. paper company, Dunder Mifflin, and takes every day, mundane ideas like spending eight hours sitting at a desk, being forced to attend unnecessary meetings, going to awkward dinner parties and dealing with

the slew of people who annoy you to death, and turns them into pure entertainment. Despite these trivial every day concepts, “The Office� is anything but boring, and that is a direct result of good writing — making it so people don’t just understand the presented situations and ideas, but they care about them, too. In one article from The New York Times, the author describes one of the writers and executive producers, Mindy Kaling, as “snarkily hilarious or unsentimentally poignant, often within the same episode and even the same moment.� However, I would venture to say that this quote is applicable to the entirety of the sitcom and not just to Kaling. My experience with “The Office� is notoriously that of displaying several emotions in a single episode. During the season nine series finale, I was in shambles — naturally. As the episode neared the end and my eyes were flooded with anticipatory tears, I reached desperately at my screen with an open hand, begging the TV to not let it end. All of the sudden former regional manager, Michael Scott, chimes in, choked up, and says, “I feel like all my kids grew up ... And then they married each other. It’s every parent’s dream!� My moment of sad sentimentality was interrupted by a roar of laughter — and that was the essence of the show. The ability of the show to evoke such emotion from the goodbyes to my favorite characters while still being funny is raw talent in my eyes, and an outcome of a writer understanding an audience. Each week, I strive to take this idea and apply it to my own writing. I want to be able to take any idea that I have any ounce of care or

concern for and show other people why they should care too. I suppose the way I am doing this now is by letting this sitcom love confession serve as a parallel to your coveted addiction to whatever Netflix show you inevitably watched all of in two days — I’m talking to you, “Orange is the New Black� and “Breaking Bad� addicts. “The Office� is not about the action, the drama, the imagined life of imagined characters — it’s about people who could very well be your friends, your professors, your co-workers or your weird relative that you only see on holidays. It is that relatable factor that kept audiences coming back each and every week — and kept disgustingly obsessed fans like me watching the whole series multiple times. I get gentle, every day reminders of the show from the poster plastered over my living room couch, the Dwight Schrute talking bobblehead on my desk, the World’s Best Boss coffee mug in my cupboard, my “The Office�themed Post-it notes and my beloved Dundie trophy (shout-out to the brother and the roommate for those gems). If that doesn’t scream addiction, I don’t know what does. Although I will forever and always mourn the end of my all-time favorite show, which played its series finale on May 16 on NBC, I look back fondly at our relationship and with a permanent reminder of how I aspire to write. With 201 episodes in total, “The Office� always left me satisfied and smiling. That’s what she said.

UI professor encourages active, healthy lifestyle BY DAVID ROTHMUND STAFF WRITER

Dr. Wojtek J. Chodzko-Zajko’s workspace is far from ordinary. Although a computer monitor is positioned at the top of his desk, a treadmill takes the place of his chair. In addition to his work as a Khan professor in AHS and the department head of Kinesiology and Community Health, he uses the time spent in the office to exercise. Every once in a while, he will stop what he is doing and do sets of pushups. Chodzko-Zajko, an active father of three children under 3 years old, has found an exercise routine and diet that suits his schedule. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from the University of London and a Ph.D. from Purdue University, he has focused his research on the different effects that exercise and physical activity have on health and quality of life. His decision to lead a healthy, active life is one that he said is all about “personal empowerment and self advocacy.� Chodzko -Zajko has also served on the scientific advisory panel of aging and health for the World Health Organization, an agency that directs and coordinates authority for health within the United Nations. Ashley Torres, senior in AHS, has similar interests to Chodzko-Zajko. Both enjoy incorporating exercise into their daily routines. Torres said she likes to read while on the stationary bike. She stated that “an active body activates your mind, and you absorb things better.� Ever since the fifth grade, Torres made the decision to live a healthier life. In middle school, she fell in love with weight-lifting and cardio. Balancing academics and a healthy lifestyle is not easy, Torres said, but she utilizes her time wisely and never overlooks an opportunity to take part in physical activity. For example, rather than taking the bus to class, she walks. Chodzko-Zajko also chooses to travel to work in an active way. Throughout his 14 years spent at the University, Chodzko-Zajko has enjoyed running to work rather than driving. When he has to travel around campus, he hops on a bike provided by the AHS department. He stressed that there are many “healthy commuting opportunities� that are often overlooked by students and faculty, and he wishes the Uni-

versity would promote more of these. He compares creating an exercise plan to making a financial plan for the future. “The idea (of) economic security makes you think of where you are now, and where you want to be in 20 or 30 years from now,� Chodzko -Zajko said. He said he would like people to do the same for their health because it adds a sense of security in their health for the future. Although many students may find difficulty incorporating exercise into their daily routines, Campus Recreation worker Taylor Lombardo, senior in AHS, said she sees regulars come into the ARC at the same time each day. She said it is important to start living a healthier lifestyle sooner rather than later because once a person gets older and loses the movement and strength in his or her legs and arms, it may become too daunting to begin a personal activity plan. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ “2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans� points out that individuals should do 60 minutes or more of physical activity throughout the day. These serve as the first publication of national guidelines for physical activity. According to the guidelines, the three categories of physical activities are aerobic, muscle-strengthening and bonestrengthening. Adults should complete each category at least 3 days a week. Despite the fact that some people have difficulties finding a suitable workout regimen, Chodzko-Zajko stressed that it is also “important for people to choose their own path and not listen to others.� Block out the infomercials and celebrity fitness fads, because those routines may not fit your personal activity plan, he said. Additionally, ChodzkoZajko compared living a healthier lifestyle to a nice restaurant with a large menu. “There’s not one solution, there’s many,� Chodzko-Sajko said. Those interested in learning misconceptions about healthy lifestyles can attend “How to Misread the Science of Health,� a speaking event featuring New York Times medical reporter and senior writer Gina Kolata. The event will be held Friday at 3 p.m. at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD

New York Times medical reporter to speak on health-related topics Gina Kolata, senior writer and medical reporter for The New York Times, will speak Friday at 3 p.m. at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center. Her lecture aims to help students and faculty understand the science behind living a healthier lifestyle. The Institute of Genomic Biology invites speakers “whose experiences can most benefit our faculty and students, as well as the campus as a whole, in the areas of science and research,� said Melissa McKillip, director of development and outreach for the Institute of Genomic Biology. “As a recognized journalist, having worked at a science magazine for over ten years, and now at The New York Times with a focus on science and medicine, Gina Kolata’s body of work encompasses many topics of specific interest to the science and health community, making her an ideal individual to speak at our campus,� McKillip wrote in an email. While Kolata insisted that she is “not your teacher� and does not “give health advice,� she hopes the attendees leave the “How to Misread the Science of Health� speaking event questioning some of their previous assumptions linked with healthrelated topics. “The last thing you want to hear from me, or from anybody, is their exercise program or their diet,� Kolata said, in reference to what will be covered in the lecture. Kolata said that staying active and living a healthier lifestyle “all depends on what your priorities are.� The two-time Pulitzer fi nalist — for investigative reporting in 2000 and explanatory journalism in 2010 — made the decision to live a healthier lifestyle years ago. One method she uses to stay active is to plan each and every hour of her day. Ever since college, Kolata said she makes a plan for the day when she wakes up in the morning. To this day, whether it be written down or taken as a mental note, she continues this pattern. Finding the time to live “a quality life� can be challenging, she said, but a large distraction to the process is the fact that “we always mislead ourselves.� A large part of her speaking event Friday is to help debunk common misconceptions about topics such as body-image perception and fad diets. Kolata studied molecular biology on the graduate level at M.I.T. for a year and a half, and has a master’s degree in applied mathematics from the University of Maryland.

Students rehearse the opera “Falstaff� in the Tryon Festival Theatre at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on Tuesday. The opera opens Thursday night to celebrate the composer Giuseppe Verdi’s 200th birthday.

‘Falstaff ’ performance celebrates composer Verdi’s 200th birthday BY CHRISTINA OEHLER

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Thursday night, a classic tale of romance, revenge and comedy will come to life in the School of Music’s production of the opera “Falstaff.� First cast in early September, this production has taken months to prepare for its performances Thursday through Sunday at the Krannert Center for the Perform-

ing Arts’ Tryon Festival Theatre. Last performed at Krannert in 1986, the opera’s performances will celebrate the 200th birthday of its composer, Giuseppe Verdi. Verdi is a classical 19th-century Italian opera composer who is famous for a variety of operas and musical compositions. Along with “Falstaff,� some of his renowned musical creations include “Rigoletto,� “Don Carlos� and “Otello.� The show will be part of the School

of Music’s Opera Program Series. The story primarily follows a young ex-knight named Falstaff through a hybrid plot devised from Shakespeare’s “The Merry Wives of Windsor� and some of “Henry IV.� A man of great appetite for food, drink and women, Falstaff realizes he is in desperate need of money. As a result, he attempts to use his wit to change his lack of wealth and find fortune. “Falstaff lives in quite a bit of squalor with his henchmen,� said Kathleen Conlin, stage directorin-residence of the opera and Barnard Hewitt professor of theatre. “He decides his means of getting money will be wooing a wealthy

woman in town.� Unfortunately, not all goes according to plan, and he embarks on an adventure in this charismatic story. The opera follows a variety of characters, such as the town’s women who attempt to find revenge; his rival, the husband of the woman he is trying to pursue; and a young couple who have a side love story all their own as Falstaff goes on his journey throughout the performance. As stage director, Conlin has been a part of the opera’s development since step one. “The stage director is primarily in charge of developing the concept of the production, from

working with the designers to establishing a visual world for the production,â€? she said. Conlin and Eduardo DiazmuĂąoz, the artistic director and conductor for the performance, have worked for more than two months to prepare for the opera. Like most classical operas written in a native European language, “Falstaffâ€? will be performed in Italian. “All opera, for the most part, is sung in German, French or Italian, so opera students are required to learn various languages,â€? Conlin said. The cast performing in the opera are required to learn and perform

the songs in Italian, but the audience will be provided with English supertitles, a written translation projected above the stage throughout the duration of the show. The cast comprises students of the University, with the exception of one guest performer who is a professional opera singer. The performance will be shown Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., as well as a matinee on Sunday at 3 p.m. Single tickets are $27, with discounts for senior citizens, students and University students at $23, $18 and $10, respectively.

Indian Student Association to host Diwali Night talent competition BY SAHER KHAN STAFF WRITER

The Indian Student Association will celebrate its biggest cultural event, Diwali Night, with a talent show competition at Lincoln Hall Theater on Saturday at 7 p.m. The registered student organization ISA has celebrated Diwali in some form since the start of the organization. It was transformed from a performance and banquet to a talent competition four years ago to expand the celebration. The event’s purpose is to bring the student community together for a night of fun to celebrate Diwali, aka Divali or Deepavali, a five-day Hindu festival and unofficial holiday in India. Hiteshree Patel, ISA’s internal vice president, production head of Diwali Night and junior in LAS, said each night of Diwali holds a different significance. The fourth day of Diwali, which

took place Nov. 3, is called the festival of lights. “Symbolically, it celebrates the triumph of good over evil, of giving the light to others,� she said. “A common symbol is a lamp because it gives light to others and it’s a spiritual purpose that represents spreading the goodness and hope.� Chintan Patel, ISA president and senior in LAS, said ISA aims to promote cultural events like Diwali Night on campus and believes that promoting cultural diversity is important. “You really don’t get that sense of culture anymore on campuses because no one really focuses on it,� he said. “You have that sense of culture at home because your parents instill those values into you. But when you come to campus, no one really has that over arching figure to kind of tell you, ‘Oh this is what we do and this is why.’ So this is our way of pro-

moting learning about different cultures.� The show will have six different acts — three dance groups and three bands. All of these acts will do predominantly Indian song and dance routines, and three judges will come up with a winner. The judges usually include a faculty member and alumni that comes to campus for the event. ISA recently incorporated a People’s Choice element as well, where audience members get to vote for their favorite act at the end of the show. Viraj Kamdar, senior in LAS, has performed at Diwali Night for the past three years with the Ghungroo Dance team, a fusion group that performs Bollywood, hip-hop and contemporary numbers. He plans to perform again this year in his last Diwali Night appearance. “The atmosphere at D Night is always great,� he said. “There is friendly competition among the acts and everyone

is just celebrating and having a good time.� The process for picking acts was a long process, Kamdar said. The Diwali Night production team hosts auditions for non-competing dance teams, a cappella groups and whoever else is interested. The production team picks the best groups, and the groups then have two months to perfect their act for the show. Aside from the six acts, there will also be three different exhibition performances by the University’s Dance 2XS, the Special Ops and Chai-Town a cappella. Tickets for the show will be sold on their web site and on the Quad throughout the week for $10, and tickets will be sold at the door for $15. Free appetizers will be offered at the event as well. “We’re definitely keeping the same celebratory atmosphere as in the past,� Hiteshree Patel said. “We want to have more peo-

SPORTS Women’s basketball looks for 2nd victory BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s basketball team will get limited rest after earning its fi rst victory of the season Tuesday night against Valparaiso. The Illini are back on the hard court Thursday night when they host Mississippi Valley State at State Farm Center at 7 p.m. In the Illini’s home debut, it was the defense that showed improvement after the team gave up 98 points to Bradley in the season opener Nov. 8. Holding Valparaiso to 38.2 percent from the field was a significant improvement over allowing the Braves to shoot 51.5 percent overall. “It was great to see our (manto-man defense) give us a lift and do some things right in our man defense,� head coach Matt Bollant said after the 87-59 win over Valparaiso. “Bradley got a lot of really good looks so we did a better job of contesting shots and making things tougher.� In the team’s first two games,

it has been transfer point guard Sarah Hartwell who has been the Illini’s most efficient scorer. After sitting out all last season due to transfer rules, Hartwell is averaging 16.0 points per game to go with a team-high 4.5 assists per game. Her effectiveness in getting to the basket shows on the stat sheet, as she is shooting a scorching 58.3 percent from the field. “I feel like my main job as a point guard is attacking the rim,� Hartwell said. “If I get stopped, I can kick it out to Amber (Moore) or whoever is open. But they were sagging mostly or switching on ball screens so it was easy to attack hard off of the screen.� Illinois’ opponent, Mississippi Valley State, will still be searching for its fi rst victory of the season when the team travels to Champaign.

Illinois’ Rayvonte Rice lays up against Valparaiso at State Farm Center on Wednesday. Rice had 18 points in the 64-52 win.

Ekey key to Illinois’ win over physical Valparaiso BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

As time expired in Illinois’ 64-52 victory over Valparaiso on Wednesday night, Jon Ekey sat on the Illini bench with a bloody head. He and teammate Rayvonte Rice had bumped heads in the fi nal minutes of a physical game that included 37 fouls and 85 rebounds. Despite being severely undersized, the 6-foot7 Ekey fought for 15 rebounds against a Valparaiso frontcourt that included three contributors that stood at 6-foot-10 or taller. Thanks largely to his effort, Illinois was able to outrebound and eventually defeat a tough Valparaiso 49-36 and improve to 3-0. “I’m so thankful that we have him,� Illinois head coach John Groce said of the fi fth-year transfer from Illinois State. Ekey wasn’t the only under-

sized Illini able to grab rebounds; 6-foot-4 Rayvonte Rice grabbed eight rebounds, in addition to his 18 points, and 6-foot-6 Joseph Bertrand grabbed six, in addition to his 14 points. Illinois’ centers Nnanna Egwu and Maverick Morgan contributed three and two rebounds, respectively. Both teams shot less than 33 percent, contributing to the high number of rebounds. Valparaiso shot 32.7 percent (17-for-52) and Illinois struggled against a tough zone defense, shooting 31.8 percent (21-for-66). “I don’t know if it was the great defense on both ends or the poor shooting,� Valparaiso head coach Bryce Drew said. Ekey said Valparaiso’s zone defense made it easier for him to grab his eight offensive rebounds. Overall, Illinois’ 18 offensive rebounds were key to 14 extra shots and 11 second-

chance points. “I’ve always tried to use my athleticism to get in there and get around guys, tipping it out,� Ekey said. “I just found my way in there a lot today.� Ekey scored just six points on the night, but Groce said his 3-point buzzer beater at the end of the fi rst half that gave Illinois a 33-25 lead helped change momentum heading into the half. “He’s so valuable. Tonight, I played him at three, four and five in the 40 minutes of the game. He’s a really good shooter,� Groce said. “He takes care of the ball. He knows our defensive scheme inside and out.� Illinois was able to extend that lead to 49-39 in the second half, but Groce substituted out many of his starters, and a bench that had largely contributed to Illinois’ fi rst two victories gave up an 8-0 run. After the reserves let Valpara-

iso cut the lead to 49-47, Groce substituted his starters back in with 5:41 left. Abrams immediately combatted the 8-0 run with a drive to the basket, followed by a Rice “and1� that jumpstarted a 15-5 run and turned the tide of the game. Illinois’ starters contributed 60 of Illinois’ 64 points, with freshman Malcolm Hill being the lone reserve to score. Groce said he wasn’t worried about the lack of production from the bench or the poor shooting, but instead was impressed with the way his team fi nished. “We did a better job of blocking out. We were better on the offensive glass. Our defense really ratcheted it up late.� Groce said. “We didn’t play pretty, but we played the right way.�

Illinois may have won game but play was disappointing MICHAEL WONSOVER Basketball columnist

I

llinois’ win against Valparaiso on Wednesday night was ugly. There’s just no better way of putting it. Illinois was in a dog fight against the Crusaders from start to finish in its 64-52 win on Wednesday. Don’t let the final score fool you. This wasn’t an easy win for the Illini. Far from it.

Illinois led by just two points with 6:43 left in the game after a 10-2 run by Valparaiso. The Illini were shooting under 30 percent from the field at that point. Yes, you read that right. In my last column I said “the Illini can’t shoot and they know it.� I was being modest. Illinois can’t throw a basketball into an ocean right now. After making consecutive 3-pointers to start the game, Illinois went on to shoot 3-of-16 from downtown the rest of the way. That’s not going to cut it the rest of the season, not when Illinois faces teams from a

top-six conference. Illinois has been struggling with the zone defense so far this season. All three Illini opponents utilized a version of the zone against Illinois with successful results. John Groce said his team needs to be more aggressive when facing the zone, but his team hasn’t responded so far. Illinois has been tentative offensively against the zone, passing around the ball for 20-30 seconds before launching lowpercentage jumpers. Rice and Abrams would be wise to take the 3-point shot

out of their arsenal. The two combined to shoot 1-for-8 from behind the arc, but connected on 10 of their 22 2-point attempts. Rice has especially been effective inside the arc so far this season, shooting 65 percent on 2-point attempts compared with 27.3 percent from behind the arc. The duo iced this game, scoring 13 of Illinois’ last 15 points. All of those points came at the rim or at the line. Shooting was not the only concern for the Illini. Illinois’

Illini soccer travels to Washington for NCAA tournament BY ALEX ORTIZ STAFF WRITER

The slate has been wiped clean for the Illinois soccer team. When the NCAA Tournament Selection Show revealed Illinois as one of the teams in this year’s tournament, the Illini reacted with both joyous relief and uncertainty toward their opponent, Washington State. The last time the two teams met was back in 2008, before any of the Illinois seniors were with the team. But the players and coaches have said this could be a positive for the team, because the players can focus on themselves, unlike last year when they were matched up against North Carolina, the eventual NCAA champions. “I’m thinking of last year when we saw North Carolina in our bracket, all of us were like, ‘Oh shoot,’� senior midfielder and defender Kassidy Brown said. “But this is kind of like ... we don’t know much about the team, so

we’re not going in scared, so it’s good.� Illinois has its checklist of areas in need of attention. When the team lost to Indiana in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament, it allowed five goals. As a whole, the team has acknowledged that an overall defensive improvement is necessary to be successful. Young players like freshman goalkeeper Claire Wheatley will have an opportunity to make up for a disappointing showing against the Hoosiers. Offensively, the Illini are already improving because senior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo will have had over a week’s worth of recovery time on her left knee sprain. It is also time to get back into better game shape. Head coach Janet Rayfield said DiBernardo is improving even more mentally as she was able to play 64 minutes against Indiana. Rayfield noted that DiBernardo became more confident in her leg, which was still in a large brace,

as the match went on. Outside of freshman defender Hope D’Addario, who is still out with a broken collarbone, the rest of the team will be ready for Saturday’s match. This will also give junior forward Jannelle Flaws, senior forward Megan Pawloski and sophomore forward and midfielder Nicole Breece the opportunity to benefit more from DiBernardo’s presence in the midfield, something they have not had a lot of this season. “We’re going in there, I think, with the best team we’ve had since midway through the season,� Rayfield said. Washington State will be one of the most complete teams Illinois has faced in 2013. The Cougars finished second in the Pac12 standings with a conference record of 7-3-1 and 14-3-3 overall. They also scored the third most goals and allowed the second fewest goals in the Pac-12. Senior forward Micaela Castain tied for the lead in goals (11) and led the con-

ference in assists (11) and points (33). Junior goalkeeper Gurveen Clair’s 12 shutouts were a school record and led the Pac-12. While Rayfield continues to study up on the Cougars, she also said Illinois will have to make some physical adjustments off the pitch. Since the match will be held in Pullman, Wash., the Illini will try to adjust their sleep schedules “just a little bit.� But mostly, Illinois is determined to forget the past and take advantage of the opportunity afforded to them. “I think (we need to) put frustration aside,� Flaws said. “I think a couple of games this season we’ve been so worried about ‘What if? What if?’ about the NCAA tournament, so now I think it’s a chance for us to relax and just settle down and play the way we’re playing.�

Tournament bid validates Illinois’ hard work ARYN BRAUN Staff writer

I

llinois soccer has made it. For the fourth straight year the Illini are heading to the NCAA tournament. The field was announced on Monday, with Illinois grabbing an at-large bid that pits them against Washington State in the first round this coming weekend. The NCAAs were never a given. 2013 was a season of struggle. Illinois’ star and senior captain Vanessa DiBernardo suffered a knee sprain in the team’s Big Ten opener against Iowa back in September. The Illini have had troubles ever since. The inexperience of younger players was obvious as they were thrown into more playing time than they were ready for. Even gaining a berth in the Big Ten Tournament was iffy. Illinois just barely clinched its spot by beating Minnesota 3-1 in Falcon Heights, after a threegoal, second-half comeback. And thank God for that second half. Without it, Illinois would be hosting the Big Ten Tournament, but watching from the bleachers. The Illini

haven’t hosted since 2000, and for them to miss out on that kind of homecoming would have been embarrassing. Yes, they lost to No. 4 seed Indiana in the first round. But they played, and that’s more than can be said of Northwestern, Ohio State, Purdue and Michigan State. Hell, they were even seeded in the middle of the pack. That means Illinois earned a No. 5 seed despite the injuries, losses and the fact that last-minute heroics were necessary to put them in the tournament in the first place. Now the Illini find themselves in a rare position. They’re not used to things working out as of late. They’re used to disappointment. But they made it. Illinois is in, and DiBernardo is finally healthy. No one wants to be sidelined with an injury, but as a senior, it seems like the end of the road. What if she couldn’t come back? What if it was career ending? Luckily for DiBernardo, and for the Illini, this wasn’t the case. She now gets the chance to compete alongside her teammates in the postseason. This will be Illinois’ 12th appearance in the NCAA tournament all-time, and its 10th under head coach Janet Rayfield. “It’s been a roller coaster of

Illinois’ Vanessa DiBernardo takes a free kick during the Illini’s 4-0 win over Florida International at the Illinois Track and Soccer Stadium, on Sept. 15. The Illini will head to Washington this weekend to play Washington State in the first round of the NCAA tournament. a season,” Rayfield said. “To get a new life and wipe the slate clean with a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament is what everybody hopes for.” The Illini begin their cham-

pionship hopes this Saturday at 3 p.m. in Pullman, Wash. The winner of the Illinois-Washington State game will go on to face either Seattle or Portland in the second round.

But while the Illini hope they can capitalize on their new life and finish the 2013 season on a high note, making it to the tournament alleviates their fears of disappointment and leaves

Illinois feeling optimistic.

Men’s cross-country ready for Midwest Regional BY THOMAS DONLEY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Coming off a disappointing showing in the Big Ten Championships, the Illinois men’s crosscountry team will try to bounce back at the NCAA Midwest Regional in Ames, Iowa, on Friday. The regional will be the Illini’s last chance to rebound from a fifth-place finish at the Big Ten Championships, at which they felt they could have done better. While the field of nine states at

the Midwest Regional will be over three times the size of the Big Ten meet, only four of the 37 teams competing received more votes than Illinois (3 votes) in the USTFCCCA’s latest national coaches’ poll: Oklahoma State (341), Tulsa (226), Iowa State (71) and Minnesota (11). Oklahoma State and Tulsa are the champions of their respective conferences this year. The number of teams is not the only thing that will expand for the regional. The course will be 10

kilometers long, rather than the 8K course at the Big Ten Championships. This will be the first time Illinois has run longer than 8K this season. “It’s our first time at 10,000 meters this year, but I think we’re excited to get in the mix and really focus on the second half of the race,” Illinois assistant coach Steve Fuelling said. Another difference between the conference championships and the regional is the number of run-

ners the team is allowed. Illinois sent nine runners to the Big Ten meet, but only seven will run in the regional. All-Big Ten selection senior Jannis Toepfer will lead the team consisting of junior Brendan McDonnell, sophomores Liam Markham, Ian Barnett, Tommy King and Paul Zeman and freshman Will Brewster. Fuelling said head coach Jake Stewart’s absence from practice has not hindered the team’s preparation for the regional. Stewart

THIS WEEK

missed two days of practice early this week because his wife was in labor with their first child. Although Friday’s race could mark the end of Illinois’s season, Zeman said the team’s plan is to “focus on today,” while Fuelling added that the team understands “they’ve got to bring their A-game.” “We’re just planning on going out and running as a team just like we do in practice every day,” Zeman said.

Last season, Illinois took fourth overall in the regional, its best finish since a third-place finish in 2002, but Zeman believes that this year’s team can bring Illinois its first top-three finish in 11 years. “We’re capable of accomplishing what we set out to do at the start of the year,” Fuelling said. “I think we’re excited and looking forward to it.”

Illini volleyball hopes to continue winning streak BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER

Revenge is sweet. Even sweeter than revenge, though, is a winning record. This weekend, the No. 25 Illini volleyball team (12-12, 8-6 Big Ten) will have a shot at both when they face conference bottom-feeder Indiana (9-16, 1-13 Big Ten) and rival No. 18 Purdue (16-9, 7-7 Big Ten) in front of a home crowd. “I want Purdue,� senior defensive specialist Courtney Abrahamovich said. “I want Purdue really bad. ... They are tough every year, and every year it’s just a battle. To get them at home, that would be pretty sweet.� In the two teams’ first meeting, Purdue came from behind to beat Illinois 3-1 after dropping a highly contested first set that resulted in a 31-29 win for the Illini. Two of the next three sets were decided by less than three points. “They are just a solid team all around, I would have to say,� Abrahamovich said of Purdue. “They are always one of our biggest competitors in the Big Ten, I would say. Maybe it’s because they’re so close to us, they’re like an hour and a half away — we just like to beat Purdue. It’s fun to beat Purdue.� The Illini, who are coming off three consecutive wins against Iowa, Michigan and Michigan State, could not ask for a better pair of matches this weekend. The Hoosiers have dropped 15 of their last 16 games. Last time Illinois faced Indiana, the Illini swept the match. Head coach Kevin Hambly said the Hoosiers should still be accounted for,

though. “They’re good, they’re very good,� Hambly said. “Everyone in our conference is very good. They showed up and beat Michigan State when Michigan State was hot. They gave us trouble — we were lucky. Two of the sets could have went another direction and who knows what happens if that happened at their place. “They have good athletes, they have good talent, it’s just the league is tough. If you slept a little bit on a match or don’t pass as well as you should then you’re going to lose. ... We’re not even worried about Purdue yet. We’re worried about Indiana.� Hambly described Indiana as team that runs a quick-tempo offense that’s complemented by good hitters in junior Morgan Leach and senior Jordan Haverly. On the flipside, Hambly said Purdue is a balanced team all around, led by junior middle blocker KiKi Jones, who ranks as the fifth-most efficient hitter in the conference (.364 percentage) and the sixth-best blocker (1.18 per set). In addition to the beneficial matchups this weekend, the Illini will get two more weeks with back-to-back matches over the weekend after coming off four consecutive weeks of a mid-week match coupled with a weekend match. Reverting back to this schedule gives Illinois a full week of practice with no interruptions. “I love this,� Hambly said of the schedule change. “We have things that we’re slipping on that we want to get better at. ... It’ll give us more time to focus on us

WONSOVER perimeter defense was also suspect against Valparaiso. Jordan Coleman was a spark plug for Valparaiso, leading the Crusaders with 15 points while hitting a couple 3-pointers. Valparaiso shot 38.9 percent from behind the arc on Wednesday, including back-to-back 3-pointers that brought the Crusaders within two points. Valparaiso should’ve shot even better than that. Illinois gave them great looks all night as the Illini were constantly running out late on shooters. This isn’t an isolated incident. Alabama State shot 42.9 percent on 3-point attempts in Illinois’ first game of the season. Illinois has been stellar defensively other than on the perimeter, so perhaps this is something that will be fixed sooner rather than later. It wasn’t all bad for Illinois. Ekey rebounded from his poor

and Villanova. The strength of the Devilettes team is in the post area, which would cause matchup problems for the Illini. Forwards A’Shanti Weathers and Ashley Beals led the Devilettes against the Huskies in offense and protecting the rim. Weathers tied a career-high with 20 points, while the freshman Beals chipped in 14 points, seven rebounds and four blocks. Another freshman, center Heather Freeman, contributed 10 points and six rebounds in just 14 minutes of

performances in the first two games, with an emphasis on the word rebound. Ekey pulled down 15 boards, a career high and the most by an Illini in Groce’s brief tenure. Illinois is going to need more performances like that from Ekey. He was confident with his stroke and active on the defensive end, constantly getting a hand on the ball and being in the right spots. The 3-point shooting is expected of Ekey, but the outstanding defensive performance he had tonight came out of nowhere. Winning ugly may become an ongoing story for the Illini. When you have a coach that stresses defensive pressure and a team that can only score inside, the Illini are going to have plenty of close, low-scoring affairs this season. The Illini survived this battle. Next time they might not be so lucky.

Illinois will need their own freshmen tandem of Jacqui Grant and Sarah Livingston to elevate their games in the post. The battle between the newcomers has been up for debate since they arrived on campus, but Grant seems to have solidified herself as the starter at the center position. “Her length makes a difference for us,� Bollant said. “She can shoot the basketball and she’s really skilled. She’s going to be able to do a lot of different things for us.�

Hockey looks to climb rankings with road victories BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

If the Illini hockey team can’t find any wins at home, it’s time to start looking for them on the road. No. 17 Illinois (8-7-1, 2-5-1 CSCHL) lost six of its eight home games this past month but will look to grab a pair of conference wins on the road against Indiana (3-7-1, 0-7-1 CSCHL). The Illini will be playing on the road until mid-December, visiting No. 3 Robert Morris, No. 5 Central Oklahoma, No. 6 Oklahoma and Indiana in the process. Illinois has lost eight of its past 10 games since early October,

which saw them gradually fall from the No. 4 ranked team in the nation to No. 18. The Illini are coming off a bye week, and head coach Nick Fabbrini said the Illini players needed last weekend off to recover mentally. “Before the season, I didn’t see this past month going as difficultly as it did,� Fabbrini admitted. “Every game for us at this point is a must-win.� Fabbrini emphasized the importance of winning the team’s remaining games against CSCHL opponents, in order to defend last season’s conference championship — a title the Illini have won three

times in the past decade (2003, 2008, 2013). He said he still has confidence in the team’s chances of defending the CSCHL title, since he doesn’t expect any team to run away with the league championship. But with his team sitting in fifth place in the conference and five of six teams ranked in the ACHA top 25, Fabbrini said it won’t be an easy task. “We’ve kind of painted ourselves into a corner here a little bit,� Fabbrini said. “If we can win the vast majority of our games going forward, I think that we’ll be in it at the end.� There are very few easy wins

left on the Illini schedule, but Illinois knows it must play its best hockey from here on out — even against Indiana, the conference’s last-place team (0-7-1 in CSCHL play). The Hoosiers have 12 freshmen on the 26-man roster. Sophomore forward John Olen said the Illini players aren’t taking the Hoosiers lightly, and this weekend’s pair of games are absolute must-wins. “We’re definitely not overlooking them,� Olen said. “If we come in and don’t come to play, those are easily games we could lose.� The well-rested Illini will wel-

come back junior winger Kyle Varzino and sophomore Matt Johnson this weekend in Indiana, while the bye week gave senior Eddie Quagliata an opportunity to rest the elbow injury he had been playing through since late October. Illini goaltender Joe Olen called this weekend’s series against Indiana a do-or-die situation for the team, looking for a pair of conference victories against an Indiana team that is 3-1-1 at home this season. “We’re putting a lot of emphasis on this weekend,� Joe Olen said. “These are two huge games to get into the conference standings and

really make a push.� Fabbrini said the team needs to play well for two games in a row each weekend, something the Illini haven’t done since sweeping Michigan State’s Division-II team in late September. “We need to focus on winning every game we can here going forward,� Fabbrini said. “The first month and a half of the season is over with. There’s nothing we can do about it, so we need to continue building up.�
