GEO, UI reach tentative agreement Possibility of TA, GA strike greatly minimized, spokeswoman says

BY TYLER DAVIS STAFF WRITER

The University and the Graduate Employees’ Organization reached a tentative agreement on remaining issues during contract negotiation Tuesday.

The agreement covers not only the nonmonetary issues addressed and agreed upon at Monday’s bargaining session but what many GEO members consider to be the most important issues: tuition waivers, wages and health care.

Details of the tentative agreement are not being released at this time.

The agreement was brought to the general GEO membership Tuesday night during a meeting, and the organization will begin a three-day formal voting period at another general membership meeting next week, GEO spokeswoman Stephanie Seawell said. Voting should be finished by the end of that week.

Seawell said the possibility of a strike has been greatly minimized as the GEO’s focus will be on the voting process over the next week or so.

“What we’ll do after that will depend on how the vote will turn out,” she said.

University officials are pleased with the direction of negotiations.

“We’re thrilled, and we really hope that we can move forward and work together the way that we did to achieve this agreement,” campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said. “We’re very appreciative of the leadership of the GEO for their good work on this.”

This tentative agreement follows three months of negotiations and rallying on the GEO’s part, including “work-ins” since October for graduate and teaching assistants to do the same work they would usually do, only in public.

On Monday, the GEO held the first overnight work-in, “Unity at the Union,” which Seawell called an “act of symbolic civil disobedience” at the “center of campus community at this university.”

She said over 30 people stayed at the Union past midnight and more than a dozen stayed all night.

“The student union (officials) and campus police were incredibly accommodating and allowed us to stay in the space, so it was a good event,” Seawell said.

The GEO wanted as many people as possible to be at

University Housing releases mobile application for dining

BY ZIKE CHENG STAFF WRITER

Students curious about what’s on the menu at the dining hall will now be able to check any time, anywhere with a new mobile application released by University Housing and University’s Administrative Information Technology Services.

Launched on Nov. 9, the University Residence Hall Dining mobile application runs on Android and iOS smartphones and features functions such as menus, schedules, food ingredients and maps to get to the six dining halls on campus.

“University Housing delivers three million meals a year.

You start to get the scope of what we mean by delivering menus,” said Kirsten Ruby, housing spokeswoman. “We have six different dining halls and they each have a different menu.”

Ruby said according to a

INSIDE

database, dining menus on the University Housing website are most often viewed by students and residents on campus.

Because there are so many dining halls on campus and different menus in each of the halls, it can be hard to share menu information with students, justifying the need for the application, she said.

William Seemann , software engineer with the team that worked on the application, developed the Android version of the application and said it provides mapping functionality and the ability to fi lter menu items based on ingredients, which is useful for people with food allergies or other dietary restrictions.

Ruby said University Housing hopes the application can help the students fi nd dining on campus more convenient.

“Our students really love it, and we are very pleased with the reactions we’ve gotten,”

Ruby said.

Students also gave suggestions to improve the next version of the application. Ruby said suggestions include being able to check meal balance and credits, adding a search feature and applying a “mark as favorite” function.

Software engineer Alessandro Bellina developed the iOS version of the dining application and said its use will improve students’ dining experiences in University dining halls.

“It is a real treat to be able to code apps that make student life at Illinois an even better experience,” Bellina said. “It is great to think students will use this app daily.”

Students can download the application for free from the Apple Store or Google Play.

Six doctoral programs are in danger of being eliminated because of low enrollment.

These programs include the educational doctoral degree, or Ed.D., in music education, human resource education and special education as well as the higher education concentration in the educational organization and leadership Ed.D. The Ph.D. program for environmental science in civil engineering and the physiological and molecular plant biology concentration in the Ph.D. for biology are also being considered for closure.

In 2010, former interim Provost Richard Wheeler compiled an 18-member committee to thoroughly review the graduate programs offered on the Urbana campus.

Debasish Dutta, committee chairman and Dean of the Graduate College, said a year-long assessment of the 98 total doc-

toral programs was based on enrollment numbers and sought to examine if programs were effective.

“We wanted to see how satisfied and prepared these students are as they are leaving the University,” he said.

Through the assessment, the committee found that there were several programs that had very low enrollment, Dutta said.

For example, the Ed.D. program for music education has three students enrolled for fall 2012 and the Ph.D. program for environmental science in civil engineering has two students enrolled, according to the Division of Management Information.

Although departments may end up saving money over time by putting staff and faculty resources into more marketable programs, Dutta said none of the programs are being closed for fi nancial reasons.

The committee fi rst met with the department heads of the six programs and recommended they be looked into for possible elimination. The department heads then decided which of their programs should be closed based on enrollment and the committee’s recommendation, Dutta said.

After a department head puts together a proposal that outlines reasons for the program’s elimination, he or she must receive approval from the college, then the Graduate College, academic senate and fi nally, the Board of Trustees for official closure.

The six programs are in various stages of the closure process, Dutta said, but he estimates that some closures could be fi nalized by the end of the spring 2013 semester.

Provost Ilesanmi Adesida presented the list of programs to the Board of Trustees’ academic and student affairs committee earlier in November.

Student trustee David Pileski said these eliminations would help the University “clean up the books to reflect the real status of our programs” and continue offering a high quality education.

Despite the low enrollment numbers for these programs, Dutta said the University’s main priority is its students, and the closure of these programs will not negatively affect those who are currently enrolled in them.

Students will be able to continue and complete their programs, which will be grandfathered

Students protest violence toward civilians in Gaza Strip

BY AUSTIN KEATING STAFF WRITER

Students for Justice in Palestine held a silent protest on the Quad on Tuesday in opposition of what the group’s president called a “disproportionate use of force and indiscriminate fire”

by Israel.

The organization was protesting to raise awareness among college students about the conflict in Gaza, said Tariq Shihadah, president of SJP and sophomore in DGS. About 24 people attended the protest, he said.

“We’re just trying to present

objective information as well as an often-forgotten perspective,” he said. “We’re trying to expose the seriousness of the injustice that’s been happening in Gaza and Palestine at large.”

Shihadah said the majority of the estimated casualties in Gaza were civilians and many were minors, while Israel had substantially fewer casualties.

The demonstration involved members of SJP and of several different organizations. It also had the support of some professors, including Farhad Malekafzali, political science lecturer.

The recent airstrikes the Israeli Defense Forces carried out against the Gaza Strip began Nov. 14 when Israel killed the Hamas military leader, Malekafzali said.

“That resulted in Hamas firing missiles, which Israel used as a pretext to launch its own massive bombardment,” Malekafzali said.

Both factions agreed to a ceasefire after eight days of fighting.

Tali Segev, member and former president of Israel Illini and senior in LAS, said the protestors were right to speak out about the deaths but were placing too much

UN resolution to give Palestinian state a foothold

BY EDITH M. LEDERER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS — The Palestinians predicted a historic U.N. vote recognizing their statehood this week, praising important new support from France on Tuesday and likely backing from other European nations seen as critical to enhancing their international standing.

The United States and Israel strongly oppose the resolution,

and there are fears it could torpedo Palestinian hopes of quickly resuming negotiations with Israel to end their decades-old conflict. Israeli officials have already said they will not return to negotiations after the vote and believe it instead undermines hopes for a peace deal.

The General Assembly vote to raise the Palestinians’ status from a U.N. observer to a nonmember observer state is scheduled for

Thursday — the “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People” — just a week after a cease-fire ended eight days of punishing Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and intense rocketing of the Jewish state by Gaza’s Hamas rulers that reached Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

The 193-member world body is dominated by countries sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, and the resolution only requires a

majority vote for approval.

The U.N. recognition of their statehood would elevate the Palestinians to the same status as the Vatican, another nonmember observer state. However, a country’s vote to raise the Palestinian status at the U.N. does not imply its individual recognition of a Palestinian state, something that must be done bilaterally. To date, 132 countries — over two-thirds of the U.N. member states — have recog-

Female service members file lawsuit

BY PAUL ELIAS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — Four female service members filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging the Pentagon’s ban on women serving in combat, hoping the move will add pressure to drop the policy just as officials are gauging the effect that lifting the prohibition will have on morale.

The lawsuit, fi led in federal court in San Francisco, is the second one this year over the 1994 rule that bars women from being assigned to ground combat units, which are smaller and considered more dangerous since they are often in battle for longer periods.

The legal effort comes less than a year after the ban on gays serving openly was lifted and as officials are surveying Marines about whether women would be a distraction in ground combat units.

“I’m trying to get rid of the ban with a sharp poke,” said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jennifer Hunt, who was among the plaintiffs in the latest lawsuit and was injured in 2007 when her Humvee ran over an improvised explosive device in Iraq.

Hunt and the other three women said the policy unfairly blocks them from promotions and other advancements open to men in combat. Three of the women are in the reserves. A fourth, Marine Corp Lt. Colleen Farrell, leaves active duty this week.

Women comprise 14 percent of the 1.4 million active military personnel. The lawsuit alleges that women are barred from 238,000 positions across the Armed Forces.

At a Washington, D.C., news conference, Pentagon press secretary George Little said the Defense Department was making strides in allowing more women into combat. He said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has opened about 14,500 combat positions to women.

“And he has directed the services to explore the possibility

of opening additional roles for women in the military,” Little said. “His record is very strong on this issue.”

American Civil Liberties Union Ariela Migdal, who represents the four women, said Panetta’s actions weren’t enough. She called for an end to the combat ban. “These tweaks and minor changes on the margins do a disservice to all the women who serve,” she said.

“It falls short,” she said. “It is not enough.”

Marine Corps Capt. Zoe Bedell said she left active duty, in large part, because of the combat exclusion policy. Bedell said she was frustrated that her advancement in the Marines was blocked by her inability to serve directly in combat units.

“The military is the last place where you are allowed to be discriminated against because of you gender,” she said.

Bedell said the blurred front lines of modern warfare, with suicide bombs and sniper attacks, have put more and more women in combat situations.

More than 144 female troops have been killed and more than 860 have been wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan since the wars began, according to Pentagon statistics. Roughly 20,000 of the 205,000 service members currently serving in Afghanistan are women.

Military leaders say they want to make sure lifting gender-based barriers would not disrupt the cohesion of the smaller combat ground units and military operations.

The Marine Corps’ top leader, Gen. James Amos, ordered a survey of 53,000 troops to get their views, including whether they believe women in those units would distract male Marines from doing their jobs. The results have not been released yet.

The lawsuit alleges the ban violates constitutional female service members’ equal rights.

“As a direct result of this policy,” the lawsuit states, “women — as a

The lawsuit also alleges that women are already serving unofficially in combat units.

Air National Guard Major Mary Jennings Hegar sustained shrapnel wounds in 2009 when she exchanged fire on the ground in Afghanistan after her Medevac helicopter was shot down.

Both she and Hunt received Purple Heart medals for their injuries.

The lawsuit was assigned to U.S. District Judge Edward Chen, an appointee of President Barack Obama.

nized the state of Palestine.

Passage would add weight Palestinian claims for a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, territories captured

by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war.

Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005.

The vote is taking place while the Palestinians remain bitterly divided: Hamas, which does not recognize Israel’s right to exist, claimed victory in the recent conflict and raised its standing in the

Arab world, while the rival Fatah movement of President Mahmoud Abbas, which controls the West Bank, remained sidelined.

Abbas is flying to New York to present the case for U.N. recognition of the state of Palestine.

until the last student receives a degree, Dutta said, but new students will not be admitted.

These students will also have the option to switch to a different program.

Some of the programs have already stopped admitting students during this intermediate period, including the educational doctoral degree in special education and the physiological and molecular plant biology concentration in the Ph.D. for biology.

Some programs are being considered for elimination because existing programs are too similar, he said.

The physiological and molecular plant biology program, for example, is unnecessary because it is much like other programs in the department, said Stephen Moose, director of the program and professor of crop sciences.

“It could not compete with Ph.D. programs in plant biology and crop sciences that have become stronger during the past decade,” he said.

Dutta said the closure of these pro=grams is not necessarily negative, and the assessment serves to keep programs up-to-date.

“This is an opportunity for the institution to look at where the resources could be most effectively utilized,” Dutta said. “As things are changing, we need new programs to be established that are relevant for the times.”

blame on the IDF and ignored a significant contributor to the civilian death toll — Hamas.

“I understand where the protest was coming from, but the operation wasn’t unprovoked,” Segev said. “It (the protest) should have recognized the role that Hamas is playing in endangering Palestinian lives.”

Segev said the IDF made efforts to “minimize civilian causalities,” and the deaths resulted largely because Hamas used Palestinians as shields by firing missiles into Israel from civilian-based locations.

Segev also said Israel had a right to retaliate against Hamas to protect its civilians.

“No state would acquiesce to live in a reality in which its civilians are continuously attacked,” Segev said. “The state of Israel has the legal right and the moral obligation to protect its citizens.”

The University’s Diversity and Social Justice Education as well as Illini Hillel, Interfaith in Action, Israel Illini, Students for Justice in Palestine and the University YMCA are sponsoring a “Candlelight Vigil for Peace in Israel and Palestine” on Wednesday at 8 p.m. at the Alma Mater.

“This event is not about advocating a perspective or goal, but to come together in a shared hope for better times,” said Ross Wantland, assistant director of the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations, in a news release.

GPS tracking chips in student IDs means extra funding for Texas schools

BY PAUL J. WEBER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas — To 15-yearold Andrea Hernandez, the tracking microchip embedded in her student ID card is a “mark of the beast,” sacrilege to her Christian faith — not to mention how it pinpoints her location, even in the school bathroom.

But to her budget-reeling San Antonio school district, those chips carry a potential $1.7 million in classroom funds.

Starting this fall, the fourthlargest school district in Texas is experimenting with “locator” chips in student ID badges on two of its campuses, allowing administrators to track the whereabouts of 4,200 students with GPS-like precision. Hernandez’s refusal to participate isn’t a twist on teenage rebellion, but has launched a debate over privacy and religion that has forged rare like-mindedness between typically opposing groups.

When Hernandez and her parents balked at the so-called SmartID, the school agreed to remove the chip but still required her to wear the badge.

The family refused on religious grounds, stating in a lawsuit that even wearing the badge was tantamount to “submission of a false

god” because the card still indicated her participation.

On Wednesday, a state district judge is expected to decide whether Northside Independent School District can transfer Hernandez to a different campus.

“How often do you see an issue where the ACLU and Christian fundamentalists come together?

It’s unusual,” said Chris Steinbach, the chief of staff for a Republican state lawmaker who has filed a bill to outlaw the technology in Texas schools.

The concept isn’t new, but hasn’t exactly caught on nationwide. In 2005, the American Civil Liberties Union raised concerns about a similar initiative at a California school. That same year, a suburban Houston school district began putting the chips in its student IDs, and served as the blueprint for Northside’s pilot program that began this fall.

Ronald Stephens, executive director of the nonprofit National School Safety Center, said he didn’t believe the technology to be widespread but predicted “it’ll be the next wave” in schools. The chips use radio-frequency identification (RFID) transmitters and only work on campus.

The Northside school district spent roughly $261,000 to equip students at one high school and

one middle school with SmartIDs, a decision made with safety and efficiency in mind, said district spokesman Pascual Gonzalez. Imagine quickly accounting for students in the event of a lockdown, he said, or cafeteria lines moving faster as scanners instantly identify who’s picking up that lunch tray.

Yet the biggest motivation was financial. In Texas, school funding is based on daily attendance. The more students seated in homeroom when the first bell rings, the more state dollars the school receives. If a student is lingering in the hallway or the library when roll is called, the marked absence hurts the school’s bottom line.

But with the locator chips — the district doesn’t like to call them “tracking” — a clerk in the main office can find out if a student is elsewhere on campus, and if so, include them in the attendance count. Every student found amounts to another $30 in funding, based on the school’s calculations. In that way, those moving red dots that represent students on the clerk’s computer screen are like finding change in the couch cushions.

Gonzalez said the district has estimated another $1.7 million in funding if the program delivers on expectations, somewhat lessen-

Political candidates should consider if they can serve their constituents before seeking re-election

R

ep. Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned from Congress on Nov. 21, citing his struggle with bipolar disorder as the reason for his absence from the 2nd District seat in Illinois and subsequent decision to step down.

His choice is unsurprising given his record of 225 missed votes in the House this year due to health issues and the FBI investigation into his use of campaign funds. The FBI is investigating whether Jackson used the funds to furnish his home in Washington, D.C. A heavily Democratic Chicago, however, still elected Jackson with 63 percent of the vote, despite a lack of campaigning.

Politically, Jackson’s candidacy was justifiable. By the time it became apparent that he would have to step down, Election Day was fast-approaching, and the Democratic Party would have had to scramble to find a suitable replacement candidate. By keeping himself in the race, he essentially became a placeholder and guaranteed a Democrat would maintain his seat.

As a political move, it was smart, but as a public servant, the move was dishonorable.

His investigation and his health together should have been a clue for him to know that running would be dishonest to his constituents.

Even at that, his constituency may barely notice — so long as the replacement is a Democrat, that’s all that matters.

Certainly Jackson had his reasons for waiting until after the election to step down, but this political move will now require special primary and general elections to replace him.

The estimated cost is $5.15 million in taxpayer dollars, a pricetag that hits home in a state where budget deficits and financial problems have yet to be solved and still trickle their way down to the University, directly affecting day-to-day operations.

Certainly, it’s discouraging that someone who is under federal investigation, has been absent from Congress since June 8 and did not campaign can be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Voters did not know he would resign, so to elect someone who has a public record of scandal and inability to fulfill the duties of his office is to miss the point of holding elections.

The people are responsible for holding their government accountable, and while it is a person’s right to vote straight ticket, consideration needs to be given to whether a candidate will be able to serve his or her constituents. Our representatives need to know that their constituents have expectations of them and that to be elected is an honor and a privilege, not guaranteed by party affiliation.

grind of daily life and even take you places you will never be able to go in reality.

But there’s a contradiction.

With the lottery, you are drawn in by the huge numbers — the millions in winnings flashing on the Powerball billboards along the highway — and you are led to the grand delusions that make purchasing the ticket so enticing.

Gambling is different. You jet off to Vegas with dreams of going big, but once there, the visions of living the high life in Sin City subside.

At the casino, you may have several wins outweighed by fouror five-digit losses. Your mind can barely wander to what you might do with your assumed winnings and how it would change your life. You are consumed instead by the numbers: how much you’re up, how much you’re down and how many weeks it might take to pay it all off.

Tonight’s Powerball, however, will likely result in a loss of no more than $2 — a small, controlled loss in exchange for an unrestrained imagination. If anything, you may not want to actually win.

Several past lottery winners have seen their wildest dreams come true before quickly devolving into nightmares of drug abuse, bankruptcy and ruined relationships.

In any case, you might just win, and if you don’t, at least you had some harmless fun.

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.

he American president is, in the words of Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln,” “clothed in immense power.” It was true back then in the midst of the Civil War, and even more so now during the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. The suspension of habeas corpus by the executive branch in both the Civil War and the Middle East was and is deemed a military necessity, and the latest suspension is being actively continued by the Obama administration.

The comparison to arguably our nation’s greatest president is in this case not the greatest compliment President Obama could receive. It is true that this methodology of detaining individuals without due process started under the Bush administration. The president has had four years to right this wrong that he so eloquently attacked while a sitting senator. Instead, he continues to defend his policy that clearly violates constitutional law just as it did 150 years ago.

But there are many more tools available in the executive branch utility belt than there were in Lincoln’s time.

Unmanned drones have become such a complacent topic that news organizations are worrying not about who is killed or the damage done, but rather how the humans still controlling the machine can best avoid getting too bored on the job. The enemy combatant “kill list” has already had its time in the Sunday morning talk show circuit, and correspondingly, the issue has been reduced to a murmur. Since Vietnam and the “police action” in Korea before, the presidency has assumed the power of declaring war from Congress and the people. President Obama, who has continued and expanded these programs, is a very different person from the once-senator of Illinois.

These expansions of executive power are troubling for more than the fact that they continue to be perpetrated. It’s that no one in Washington is doing something about it. Both parties on the hill are either remaining silent in opposition or full-on endorsing the presidency’s unconstitutional power grab. The lack of a strong opposing voice in Congress represents a lack of accountability to the people. Whether a major election issue or not, it is our representatives’ job to ensure the responsibility for pursuing war lies with the people and only the people, not the president.

Political battles and powerjockeying of the federal government don’t seem to be much on the minds of the youth in the electorate — in a perfect world, rightfully so. In the age of extreme war-time aggression, when a president, for example, orders killing for any reason without consequences or due process, the rights of the young people in this nation are the first on the chopping block. There is no generation who gives more blood to the dictation of those in charge than the youngest.

In the age of reckless abandon in power, our mentality must change: to be ever vigilant, ever watchful and always responsive to infringements of the most minor rights and freedoms. This mindset must extend far beyond the federal level and into everyday life. During confrontations with those in charge, the loyal opposition must remain clear and loyal to its opposition. When the administration, whether presidential or collegiate, wants new power or leverage over the individuals it oversees, the ones who are most affected have an obligation to step up and push back.

A certain kind of loyal opposition lives here on campus. As of this writing, it is unclear what will happen between the GEO and the university. Regardless of the outcome, the organization has taken its stand on the rights they are owed. It is refreshing and encouraging to know that our university is home to an active and engaged organization with a backbone. The fight for responsibility in our government begins at this university, and it begins now.

Nov. 25 recognizes violence committed against women globally, helps raise awareness NORA IBRAHIM Opinions columnist

T

oday’s world is a bittersweet place for a woman.

Today, she can be a citizen of a nation, and she can vote. Today, she can represent hundreds of millions of people. She can be recognized, commended for her political prowess, sensational talent or scholastic achievements. Today, she is equitable to man.

Yet, today, she can be stripped — figuratively and literally — of her right to be human: In Tahrir Square women face an incessant fear of being sexually assaulted for little to no reason.

In Afghanistan, almost all women in juvenile detention, and half of women in prison, were thrown in because they had “run away” or been suspected for engaging in sexual activity outside of marriage, wrote Janet Walsh, women’s rights deputy director for Human Rights Watch.

In her moving account of the organization’s progress in eliminating violence against women, Walsh recalls what a woman in Colombia had once shared about her partner: “If I looked nice, he hit me.”

A wave of stories of this flavor cropped up in the media over the holiday break, each one striking a nerve somewhere in my spine, dismantling my understanding of how far the human race has come in establishing a kind and equal world for both sexes.

But I wondered, why was it that I had noticed these stories only now? Why was there an uptick in the number of tweets and articles surrounding domestic violence and women’s rights across the world ... now?

In my search for an answer, I found that last Sunday, Nov. 25, was The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, a day which has been designated for us to reflect on the women who still live in the Dark Ages. It’s a day that’s been in existence for over 30 years. It’s a day that commemorates a sad reality. It’s a push to raise greater awareness of a hushed topic.

It’s one day — one day in the year which humanity has commemorated to realizing these abuses, and it’s one day that many people, myself included, did not realize existed.

It may be because the American frontier seems impermeable to such cases of domestic violence.

Especially on a university campus, like our own, people are not keen on realizing that a world in which domestic violence exists overlaps with their own.

According to an estimate by the Women’s Resources Center, over a fourth of women have been abused by someone they were in

a relationship with as a student at the University. More than one out of four women. That one woman could be your roommate, your best girlfriend, your TA — anyone.

For such an astonishing figure, we should at least know that it exists. The media may highlight the severity of domestic violence abroad, but this doesn’t exempt nor elevate our society from the problem.

Our focus on gender inequality in foreign countries softens our attitude toward such violence on our own soil, removing us from other countries we deem “harsher societies” that are “more cruel” to their women.

Remember, in a society like our own, even Chris Brown, the man who delivered a fistful of head contusions, a bloody face and several lacerations, can be welcomed back by flocks of young, intelligent women hailing from Team Breezy.

Let’s just have the sense to not ignore it. Yes, if a woman could choose to pick a day and age in which to exist, she’d likely pick today’s. But no, this doesn’t mean our society has it made.

According to an estimate by the Women’s Resources Center, over a fourth of women have been abused by someone they were in a relationship with as a student at the University.

Win or lose, playing the lottery is a state of mind, not a waste of money JOHN BUYSSE Opinions columnist

W

hether it’s the odds of winning, the total jackpot or the cost of a ticket, playing the lottery is, without a doubt, a numbers game.

The chances of matching the six numbers necessary to win tonight’s $500 million Powerball jackpot are 1 in 175 million. The cost of a ticket is $2.

That sounds like a small price to pay for a chance at a lifetime of wealth, but playing the lottery is often viewed as a waste of money much like gambling in a casino. You may have been told in a dismissive voice that buying a lottery ticket is like throwing money down the drain because “you’re never gonna win.”

On the surface, buying a lottery ticket is an illogical exchange of hard-earned money for a piece of paper that represents a small chance at winning something real — money. In reality, though, you are buying so much more than a worthless piece of paper.

You’re buying a state of mind.

On my 18th birthday, I made sure to go to my local 7-11 and purchase a few lottery tickets.

Because I have a June birthday and do not smoke, voting and buying cigarettes were out of the question, making lottery tickets the only other milestone-birthday-appropriate action I could engage in that day.

I did not expect to hit the jackpot when purchasing those

tickets. Instead, I sought to engage in the feelings of possibility and excitement that buying a lottery ticket can give.

From the time you buy a lottery ticket to the moment you realize your ticket isn’t a winner, you have the opportunity to let your mind wander to the places you would go if you actually won the jackpot. Typically this starts with answering the ever-important question of what you would buy first with your jackpot.

Some people might buy a Corvette. Some people might buy a mansion. Some people might quit their job and not buy anything.

No matter what, though, everyone would do something they don’t normally do and just thinking about it is fun.

The next few stops in this hopeful day dream might include what your next crazy purchases would entail. Shortly after that, you start to think about the important, real-life expenses you could cover: a house for your parents, college loan repayments and a maybe a new car for each of your siblings.

Last, but certainly not least, you might consider which charities and organizations you would grace with large sums of money.

This is the best part of the lottery mindset because even a money-fueled delusion allows you to hypothetically be generous and make a difference in the world.

Hypothetically.

As with any daydream, reality eventually sets in once you lose.

However, as with movie tickets, football tickets or concert tickets, purchasing one from the lotto can buy you a short reprieve from the

I-programs help students develop leadership abilities

BY REEMA ABI-AKAR STAFF WRITER

This year is the 10th anniversary of the Illinois Leadership Center, a resource that provides formal leadership training for anyone on campus through i-programs and other workshops.

Kirstin Phelps is a program director at the ILC, who works on i-program curriculums and alumni recruitment.

“Our vision mission statement is to support students who want to learn and develop their leadership skills, provide opportunities for them to do so in a variety of contexts, and then also to support faculty and staff who might be pursuing leadership-related teaching, learning or research,” she said.

I-programs are free, day- or weeklong events that stimulate cooperative learning and encourage dialogue among students.

Each program also offers complementary breakfast and lunch to student participants.

“The Illinois Leadership Center is the hub for leadership on campus,” said Courtney Kramer, junior in LAS and outreach coordinator at the ILC. Kramer participated in the Intersect program her freshman year, an i-program focused on cooperation and teamwork in collaborative environments. This sparked her interest to work at the ILC. “Actually, this year I worked as a facilitator for (Intersect), so it was cool seeing it on both ends,” she said.

There are five i-programs: Ignite, Imprint, Insight, Integrity and Intersect. Each emphasizes one area of leadership that the ILC focuses on. There are 16

programs offered each year, and they cater to more than 1,200 students. Over 170 volunteers participated in the 2011-12 programs last school year.

Some of the programs involve contribution from alumni, who come and talk about their postgrad leadership experiences and compare them to their involvement with the i-programs. Alumni often participate in Imprint, which focuses on change and transition within a leadership role.

In terms of outreach, representatives like Kramer from the ILC make short presentations in classes around campus to inform students of these programs and what the ILC has to offer.

Latanya Cobb, another program director at the ILC, is in charge of the center’s outreach division, and she oversees the implementation and setup of the i-programs. Cobb manages the undergraduate interns and graduate employees whose job is to put the programs together.

“Atmosphere is really important to us,” Cobb said. “For instance, one of our programs, Integrity, we really like to hold that in the ARC, and it has a long movie that goes with it, so ... the ARC has a really cool theater that we can sit in.”

She and Phelps also work on the curriculum for each i-program. Phelps makes sure that the curriculums are up-to-date, relevant and inclusive to everyone.

That’s another goal of the ILC: to make sure that each program caters to any and all types of students.

“We see participation along academic level, college, gender and ethnicity at about the same rates, if not higher, than those

represented across campus, which we think is a unique aspect of our programs,” Phelps said.

She said students often find niches in major-specific organizations and classes, thereby cutting themselves off from students of other majors and disciplines.

With the ILC, there is always a mix of students at each event.

“It’s a really great program that gives you access to different perspectives and different people than you might normally meet,” she said.

There are different kinds of leaders, Cobb said, and not all of them are necessarily the traditional stand-at-the-front-of-theroom-and-lead types that most people might think of.

“People lead from different areas,” Cobb said. “So if you say, ‘I’m going to be the one that put the PowerPoint together,’ ... then you are the team leader for that part of the organization.”

Above all, the takeaway of the ILC is its i-programs and its myriad workshops that are aimed at every type of person, whether they consider themselves leaders or not.

“You don’t have to think you’re a leader to come here,” Kramer said. “We’re open to all students, and we believe that all students can become leaders.”

The next two programs will take place in the Chicago area over winter break, and will provide students with free transportation to the event, even to those who do not live in the area. More information about i-programs and the ILC is located online at illinoisleadership.uiuc.edu.

Five tips to help students buy a car

BY MORGAN QUILICI STAFF WRITER

Buying a vehicle can be particularly stressful for a college student who might not know much about the topic. Keep these tips and techniques in mind before shopping for the car that may become necessary after graduation.

Assess needs versus wants Before buying a car, potential buyers should first decide if having they need one in daily life.

Kathy Sweedler, consumer economics educator at the University of Illinois Extension, said an easy way to do this is by determining what your needs versus your wants.

“If you live in a real urban area where there’s good bus systems and things like that, you might not need a car,” Sweedler said.

Andrea Pellegrini, visiting assistant director at the University of Illinois Student Money Management Center, said students should ask themselves, “Do I actually need a car to get where I need to go, or do I just want one?”

Make a budget and track your expenses By making a budget and tracking everyday expenses, students and recent grads can determine if they can afford a car. “(Students) need to know what their expenses are and what their income is (to) make sure that they have a really good sense of where the money would come from to add in a monthly payment,” Sweedler said.

Sweedler said one way to see if you can afford car payments is to track your expenses for a month or two before buying a car.

Pellegrini said the hardest but most important part of budgeting is recording your expenses, but she said many resources can help potential buyers make a budget, including peer advisers at the Money Management Center.

“In this day in age there are so many tools available, it’s kind of

a poor excuse not to track your spending,” Pellegrini said.

Check your credit report Sweedler said that before students hit the bank and take out a loan, they should check their credit report.

It is common for there to be mistakes in credit reports, which may affect the amount of a potential loan, she said. These mistakes could also change how much buyers will pay for the car in the long run, so it is important to look at the credit report as soon as possible.

“If you find a mistake on your credit report, it could take a month or two to get it fixed,” Sweedler said.

Anyone can receive three free credit reports a year online at annualcreditreport.com, one from each of the three bureaus.

Sweedler advises checking all three reports, as each contains different information regarding one’s credit.

Shop around Comparing prices at different locations can be worth the effort and could result in saving significant amounts of money.

“There’s more than one dealer around,” Sweedler said. “(It’s) just like comparison shopping with anything else, but this is a big purchase so it’s worth your time for sure.”

Jay Yao, junior in Engineering, used the websites cars.com and autotrader.com to compare prices while shopping for a car last spring. These sites allow users to search for specific vehicles being sold near them, based on their inputted ZIP code. Yao suggested that students also use unconventional resources to search for a vehicle, for example, websites such as YouTube.

“There are a lot of car review channels on YouTube that could possibly help you decide which kind of car you want,” Yao said.

Sweedler said a good way of assessing whether buying, leasing or renting a car is right for you is to determine how long you

are planning to keep the car. To get the best deal, she suggested checking consumer reports for car prices and comparing a car’s sticker price with its price at other locations.

“I think you should do your homework first so that you kind of have an idea of what is a reasonable price,” Sweedler said.

“For all things, the rule of thumb is, if it sounds too good to be true, it very well might be.”

In addition to shopping around for the best car price, Sweedler suggested also browsing for the best interest rate.

“Often you can get a loan where you buy the car, but that might not be the best rate,” she said. “What you’re really doing is you’re looking for a good interest rate. Sometimes people find that a credit union or their financial institution is better than the place where they sell the cars.”

Be informed Students may get overwhelmed with all that goes into purchasing a car, but it’s important to stay focused and do research.

One should keep in mind that the customer and the other party have very different agendas, Sweedler said.

“You have to remember that you’re there to buy a car that meets your needs and they’re there to sell you a car that makes money for them,” Sweedler said.

“My rule of thumb is read everything, and if you don’t understand it, have someone else that does understand it read it. Do not assume that the contract will be written to your advantage.”

Sweedler said car dealers are more inclined to talk about monthly payments and less about the total cost of the car. She recommended that students bring someone else with them when purchasing a car.

“If you’re in the process, give yourself some breathing space,” Sweedler said. “Sometimes it’s very helpful to walk away, think about it and come back.”

fads: what fades and what remains

BY SAHER KHAN STAFF WRITER

Fads by definition are trends that become extremely popular in a short period of time and fizzle out just as quickly. As a consumerbased society, we pay close attention to what is “in” and what is “out.”

Although fads last for a brief period of time, they leave a lasting imprint on pop cul-

ture. Who could forget the days when everyone donned LiveStrong bands, jammed out to Fall Out Boy songs and sported horrendous Crocs? While fads take over the mainstream media and pop culture by storm, they quickly dissipate as everyone starts looking for the next “big thing.”

The last thing anyone wants to think about before getting intimate with another person is the possibility of contracting HIV/ AIDS or another STD. However, the dangers are always out there and ignoring them can be dea=dly. That’s why on Saturday several organizations in the Champaign-Urbana community will honor World AIDS Day, an event intended to spread awareness and educate people about the facts on HIV. After HIV awareness reached its height in the 1990s, many might feel like the risks have decreased with the hype. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website, however, approximately 50,000 people in the United States are newly infected with the disease

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. are hosting an open mic night called “Confessions” in honor of the global health day on Dec. 6.

Sexual Health Peers and McKinley’s Special Populations’ Student Concerns Committee are also cosponsoring the event. Starting at 7 p.m., the show will take place in FAR’s multipurpose rooms A and B and is free of charge.

During the event, people are encouraged to share their stories, poetry, songs or any other creative medium in discussion of how HIV has affected their lives.

W.O.R.D., a spoken word performance group, will showcase HIV-related acts throughout the event. Sexual Health Peers and representatives from McKinley Health Center will also provide educational materials and share the facts about HIV throughout the show.

have a table set up in the Illini Union to display information about HIV and to answer students’ questions starting at 12 p.m.

“HIV and AIDS is a health issue that affects a wide range of people, and college students aren’t exempt from that,” said Natalie Bradford, a graduate assistant in the health education unit at McKinley. “Especially considering the sexual behavior that is typical of college students, we need to know our risks. So having a day like this where we can bring awareness about the issue is really important.”

It is recommended that student get tested for HIV and other STDs every year or after changing sexual partners, Bradford said.

McKinley offers this kind of testing to all students, free of charge.

World AIDS Day is also meant to commemorate those who have

died from HIV. The Greater Community AIDS Project (GCAP) is a local organization that educates community members and provides direct support to people infected with HIV and their loved ones. GCAP will be hosting a candlelight memorial and vigil at the West Side Park bandstand in Champaign from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.

The event will be held to remember those who have died from HIV-related illness and to honor all those living with the disease. Individuals attending this free event are encouraged to light a candle and share how HIV has affected their lives.

“Since it no longer grabs headlines like it once did, people need to be reminded that HIV still exists,” said Mike Benner, exec-

“I really think that stories resound with others,” Salmon said. “Having that openness, that welcoming feeling, to something that is really taboo and shut down it something that really works against the stigma that’s felt within the culture.”

McKinley’s Special Populations’ Student Concerns Committee will also provide additional materials to students across campus. Throughout the week leading up to World AIDS Day, the African American Cultural Center, La Casa and the Native American House will display a trifold board provided by McKinley.

Each board features information on where to get tested, myths, signs of the disease, prevention methods and statistics specific to the hosting house’s culture.

Brandon Paul The senior guard led Illinois to a Maui Invitational title last week and was named tournament MVP

randon Paul jogged through the Assembly Hall tunnel for Tuesday’s practice wearing his latest on a dense list of awards, the No. 40.

Instead of his usual No. 3 jersey, which combined with his silky smooth stroke from downtown earned the Illini basketball senior his notorious moniker “BP3,” Paul wore his reward for finishing as the top rebounder in the team’s 63-62 victory over Gardner-Webb — a jersey bearing former Illini James Augustine’s all-time rebounding record, “1,023”, printed on the name plate, and the power forward’s name printed beneath his old number.

The jersey, like the Maui Invitational MVP and ESPN Player of the Week honor he earned last week, is an afterthought. He calls the awards “icing on the cake” compared to the Illini’s 7-0 start to the season that’s earned the team a spot in the top 25 for the fi rst time since last January.

And although he’d never admit it, Paul’s 19.7 points per game, 51 percent shooting from the floor and 48 percent mark from 3-point land over three games in the Maui Invitational, as well as his 12-point second half in the

Daryl Thomas (wrestling) —

The senior was named Big Ten wrestler of the week after going undefeated, including beating two top20 opponents, at Saturday’s Journeyman Duals.

Illini’s buzzer-beating win Sunday, are largely the reason why the team has started the season undefeated.

“I think he’d even be the first one to say, ‘It’s all about the team,’” senior forward Tyler Griffey said. “It’s not about personal success. He’s our team leader. He’s our captain. He’s our best player. His first and only care is about our team.”

That much has been evident over the last week. Paul started the trip to Hawaii with 25 points against the Warriors. He started the Maui Invitational with a 26-point game against USC, then dropped 13 against Chaminade and 20 in the final against Butler. Then, down two points with 12 seconds left against GardnerWebb, Groce drew up the fi nal play for Paul, but two defenders met him as he tried to create a shot. He read the defense and dished the ball to Griffey for the game-winning three.

Beckman struggles in 1st year AD Thomas: Beckman will remain coach

BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER

With just more than a minute remaining in Saturday’s game in Evanston, Ill., the Wildcats dealt the finishing blow to the Illini with a 36-point lead, not on the field but through the Ryan Field loudspeakers.

A recording of broadcaster Gus Johnson proclaiming Northwestern as “Chicago’s Big Ten Team” was greeted by cheers from what remained of the 32,415 home crowd.

Illinois boasts a competing slogan — “Our State. Our Team.” — but this football season, there was no doubt which in-state Big Ten program finished on top.

In the final postgame news conference of his debut season, Tim Beckman spoke fondly of Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald, whose bowl-bound 9-3 Wildcats are exactly where Beckman hopes to have his Illini sooner rather than later.

“He’s built that thing,” Beckman said. “I’ve been here (Ryan Field) three times and I can see a team getting better and better each year. ... I think they really believe in what they’re doing and you can see that.”

Beckman has championed

early stages of implementing his system.

“A lot of guys would have used that as an excuse, so what did he do? He watched a ton of film so he could learn the system faster and pick up things quicker,” Groce said. “He really is a student of the game. He’s smart. We had a quick turnaround for Gardner-Webb,

and we gave him three or four things in scouting and he nailed all of them. He knows what’s going on. He can think the game as well as play it.”

He’s been playing with a consistency that was lacking in the first three years of his Illini career, said to be the Achilles’ heel to his game. The difference isn’t a coin-

cidence. He’s constantly referred to the “green light” he’s been given in Groce’s system and said his new coach’s style fits his game better than former head coach Bruce Weber’s.

But Groce still takes a toughlove approach with Paul, calling

Big Ten expansion critics argue that new additions of Maryland and Rutgers do little to further the conference’s academic and athletic prestige, providing little more than an outlet to expand the Big Ten Network to new television markets.

While neither the Terrapins nor the Scarlet Knights have especially prestigious men’s basketball or football programs, the new schools greatly increase the conference’s repu-

tation when it comes to women’s basketball.

“I think it’s great for the Big Ten,” Illinois head coach Matt Bollant said. “The conference is becoming the nation’s premier conference. It’s great, especially for women’s basketball, because the two teams we’re adding, Maryland and Rutgers, have been two top-20 teams in recent years.”

Since 2000, the programs have combined for 21 NCAA tournament appearances and both have had success in the tournament. Maryland won the nation-

al championship in 2006 and has advanced to three Elite Eights in the last five years. Rutgers reached the Final Four in 2000 and the national championship game in 2007, falling to Tennessee both times. Only three current Big Ten members — Michigan State, Ohio State and Purdue — have ever made the Final Four.

The Spartans appeared most recently in 2005.

Matt Bollant talks to his team in a timeout during Illinois’ loss to Bradley at Assembly Hall on Nov. 15. Bollant spoke highly of the women’s basketball programs of the Big Ten’s newest additions, Maryland and Rutgers.

After further review, Maryland, Rutgers make sense for Big Ten expansion EMILY BAYCI Sports columnist

I

really wanted to shoot down the decision to add Maryland and Rutgers to the Big Ten, to denounce the idea of a bigger conference and to passionately, yet informatively, rip apart Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany and his decision for expansion.

I couldn’t believe it when I heard the rumors and then facts about expansion. I pride myself on attending a Big Ten university because of the conference’s rich traditions and history of academic and athletic excellence. It didn’t make sense to me that two schools from across the country would be added to a conference, jeopardizing its identity. I was only 3 when Penn State joined the conference, so I don’t remem-

ber much of that, but when Nebraska joined in 2011, it seemed like a logical decision.

Adding Maryland and Rutgers, I just couldn’t grasp.

The more I researched for this column, the more I understood the need for this shift.

Do I like this decision? No. It ruins the tradition of the Big Ten, something I have come to treasure over the years.

Do I respect this decision?

No. I’ve always believed making decisions based on money is overrated. Do I understand and agree with the need for this decision? Yes. Times are changing, conferences are growing and well-renowned traditions are being traded in out of concern for a brighter future.

Rutgers and Maryland are using the Big Ten to save the institutions from bankruptcy and irrelevance. The Big Ten is doing the same, using the schools for their location, which will hopefully bring in

more fans and money. These methods seem cheap, but it’s not like they’re trying to hide behind anything. It’s not like there’s a ruse, that people are saying Maryland is in to build a football powerhouse or Rutgers is going to create giant basketball rivalries.

The reports have seemed straight forward for the most part. It’s time for expansion, and this could affect all parties positively: digging Maryland and Rutgers out of fi nancial holes and helping the Big Ten keep pace with the other conferences. Additional revenue and funding is a necessary evil to keep these programs alive.

Credit must be given to Delany. He is no fool. He does his homework and he can be trusted. It’s Delany who devised the idea for the Big Ten Network and who brought in Nebraska, two ideas that have seemingly paid off for the conference. Delany

wouldn’t have made this decision if he didn’t think it would pay off in the long run.

Yes, there’s a minimal amount of history among Maryland, Rutgers and any of the 12 current Big Ten schools.

Yes, it’s going to be harder to create and maintain rivalries with so many universities. Yes, road trips have become much more difficult, for athletes, staff and fans, especially for smaller sports.

However, it must be recognized that the time of small conferences keeping to a geographic area is done. As much as it pains me to write this, the time of rich tradition and culture is behind us and now the focus is rather on money, as seen through the flood of conference realignments. The Big Ten has no choice but to keep up with the other rapidly expanding conferences, or it would get left behind in the dust. After watching the Pac10 turn into the Pac-12, the

SEC add two schools and the Big 12 and ACC prowl through the Big East, it was the Big Ten’s turn.

At fi rst, I thought the Big Ten could be the conference that stuck to its Midwestern roots, that stayed with tradition when everyone else did otherwise. I thought that other conferences might explode with too much expansion and then look at the Big Ten as a reminder of how things used to be. The move of Notre Dame, a school the Big Ten has pursued twice, to the ACC for everything but football was proof enough that something needed to be done before the Big Ten began to slowly disintegrate.

The most obvious reason for the realignment is money.

It lies in its television market and the conference’s partnership with the Big Ten Network.

Each Big Ten school reportedly earns $24 million from the conference’s network. If the

market expands to New York and New Jersey, there could be millions of new subscribers.

This would result in millions more for the Big Ten, a business opportunity that cannot be ignored.

We must acknowledge the good that comes with this addition and realize the Big Ten is changing, just like all college conferences. Maryland and Rutgers make sense in terms of student enrollment, state population and academics. They are both in the Association of American Universities, a collection of the elite research institutions, just like the majority of Big Ten schools. Maryland and Rutgers are strong, large universities that may not have the strongest athletic background. But let’s face it, a lot of the current Big Ten schools haven’t been doing that great lately either.

FANTASY DOCTOR

With playoffs approaching, hit up the waiver wire JACK CASSIDY Fantasy doctor

F

antasy playoffs will be here in a week or two, depending on your league setup.

Nervous?

The thought of leaving your comfortable post near the top of the standings and heading into the cutthroat world of the postseason can be sobering. It should be. The postseason is all that matters. I take serious issue with fantasy leagues that payout to regular-season winners. Marty Schottenheimer went 14-2 with the San Diego Chargers and got fired. If the regular season doesn’t matter in the NFL, it shouldn’t matter for the fantasy world leeching off of it.

So with an eye on the playoffs, bolster your roster this next week. The time for trades has passed, either literally because of trade deadline restrictions, or logically because it’s just insane to make a drastic move this late.

Plus, swindling big names from a non-playoff team is a good way

to get your thumbs broken.

Keep your thumbs intact. Hit up the waiver wire.

Bryce Brown (running back, Philadelphia Eagles, 5.0-percent owned in ESPN leagues) — If you turned on Monday Night Football this past week (and God help you if you did) and did not know that LeSean McCoy was out for the Eagles, you would have watched Bryce Brown’s performance without a second thought. Same long strides, same quick sideto-side moves, but he was running with a bit more liveliness than usual, and the statistics were piling up. Maybe it’s the coaching in Philadelphia, but the replacement running back Brown looked identical to McCoy and ran just as effective — 19 carries, 178 yards and two touchdowns. The Eagles are atrocious, so despite the cries of their sad, disgusting fans, they won’t rush McCoy back from his serious concussion. Brown is a must-add.

Mohamed Sanu (wide receiver, Cincinnati Bengals, 1.1-percent owned) —The Bengals are rolling and Sanu has played an integral role in their success. For eight games, Cincy’s offense was solid

outside of the redzone, but once they entered that 20-yard line, it all went to hell. Incompletions, fumbles, field goal after field goal — it was a disaster.

And the rookie Sanu was worthless in those games, catching a total of only five passes.

Now, he’s emerged. And more importantly, he’s emerged as a red zone threat. He’s caught a touchdown pass in each of the last three games — all blowout Bengals wins — and his role in the offense should stay the same moving forward.

Plus, this scenario has occurred in each of Cincinnati’s first 11 games, and it’s almost guaranteed to happen again.

On the goal line, quarterback Andy Dalton will receive the snap, drop back two steps and loft one to the back left corner of the endzone. It will be caught.

It always is. And it will either be A.J. Green or Mohamed Sanu on the receiving end. So, if you’re a gambling man, pick up Sanu and yourself a 50-percent chance at a touchdown.

able to pull off a conference win in football now, although it seems likely that the Illini will transfer to the Legends division with Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern. This change could be a good switch for the Illini, though it’s too early to come to conclusions there.

Something Delany has also pushed for is a nine-game conference schedule, which would completely change the dynamic of the Big Ten.

Even as Illinois volleyball was still evaluating its disappointing end to the 2012 season, the team received news that provides hope for seasons to come.

Outside hitters Liz McMahon and Jocelynn Birks were honored with Big Ten postseason awards, with McMahon earning her first All-Big Ten award, while Birks recieving an All-Big Ten honorable mention. Birks was also named to the All-Freshman team.

Sophomore McMahon and redshirt freshman Birks will return next season among a wealth of younger talent for an Illinois team that at times this season started both freshmen and sophomores.

“I’m happy for them,” head coach Kevin Hambly said. “They earned it. They work hard. They

the team to stay humble.

After missing the NCAA tournament last season, losing Meyers Leonard to the NBA Draft and ushering in a first-year coach, Illinois basketball is now the No. 22 team in the country in both the AP and USA Today polls just seven games into the season. Paul expressed to the team that rankings don’t matter. The Illini have been there before as recently as last season before losing their final 12-of-14 games to miss the NCAA tournament.

The Hawaii trip had its perks.

Paul and his teammates had time to relax on the beach for a few days, but ultimately the senior understood it was a business trip in which the team brought four wins and a trophy back to Champaign.

The Illini’s upcoming game against Georgia Tech on Wednes-

day will be Paul’s fourth time playing in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. He’s never lost, and he doesn’t expect that to change.

“We’ve been through a lot here,” Paul said. “Coach is always bringing that up that we have toughness in us to finish games.

Without that toughness, we probably wouldn’t have pulled that last one out.”

Toughness and togetherness is the team’s motto this year, and as the team captain, Paul sets that tone. If he continues to produce like he has through the first seven games, the talk concerning his professional prospects will only get louder. And perhaps someday a future Illini player might trot out to practice with Paul’s No. 3 on his back.

This is just the beginning.

There’s no stopping Delany now as he has begun to accomplish his goal and there’s no doubt in my mind that he will continue to expand the Big Ten, turning the conference into a national powerhouse with economical, athletic and academic prowess. This plan could go terribly wrong and blow up in Delany’s face, or his vision can pan out and he’ll be worshipped as the mastermind behind the Big Ten. That’s until he comes up with another bright idea.

My biggest concern right now is whether these addi-

tions will pay off. It remains unknown if combining these new schools with marquee universities like Nebraska and Ohio State will generate fan interest in New York and New Jersey.

It’s a waiting game to see if Rutgers and Maryland will make sufficient use of their new funds to further establish their programs.

If those things happen, then the sacrifices will have been worth it.

want to be great players. It’s nice for them to be recognized.”

Both McMahon and Birks said they don’t pay much attention to awards but acknowledged their gratitude for receiving them.

“It’s definitely an honor because the Big Ten is so strong with top players,” McMahon said.

The two provided the bulk of the offense for the Illini this season, accounting for 56 percent of the team’s kills. Birks led Illinois with 510 kills on the season and was second on the team with 262 digs. McMahon finished the year second in kills, with 400, while recording 97 blocks. She also recorded the first 30-kill game by an Illinois player since 2008 in the Illini’s win at Northwestern on Nov. 21.

Both players improved steadily throughout the season after strug-

gling under the weight of filling the shoes of two graduated AllAmericans in Colleen Ward and Michelle Bartsch. McMahon, in particular, elevated her play late in the year, becoming an even more intrinsic part of the Illini offense after Hambly moved her from the right side to the left late in the season.

“I just got a lot more confident and comfortable,” McMahon said.

“At the beginning, my head was kind of spinning trying to take on a bigger load, but I definitely got more comfortable and kinda relaxed.”

Senior Jessica Jendryk was also recognized, receiving a sportsmanship award. Hambly said Jendryk was one of his favorite players he’s ever coached.

“She’s a great kid. She’s a tremendous teammate. If you ever

watch the bench, she was leading the bench in lots of ways,” he said.

Penn State raked in a majority of the awards after going 19-1 in conference play and finishing the regular season No. 1 in the country. Outside hitter Ariel Scott was named Player of the Year, Micha Hancock was named Setter of the Year, Megan Courtney was named Freshman of the Year and Russ Rose was named Coach of the Year. It was Rose’s 11th career Coach of the Year award, and his fifth in the last six seasons.

Michigan State’s Kori Moster was the only player to crack the Nittany Lions’ stranglehold on the top awards, claiming the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year award.

NCAA tournament appearances and reeled in a top-five recruiting class in three of the past five years. Bollant described the Scarlet Knights as “physically gifted.”

Although the Illini have never played the Scarlet Knights, the two schools have a history between each other. Before Bollant, the last two Illinois women’s basketball coaches came from the Rutgers.

Hall-of-Fame coach Theresa Grentz led Rutgers from 197695 before departing to lead Illinois from 1995-2007. At Rutgers, Grentz amassed 434 wins, while winning the 1982 AIAW national championship and reaching the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament two other times. After Grentz retired in 2007, the Illini again looked to the Scarlet Knights for a head coach.

This time, Illinois hired Jolette Law, who was an assistant on

Stringers’ two Final Four teams.

Law had initial success in recruiting, bringing in the No. 3 class in 2009, but she was unable to sustain success at Illinois and was fired in March after posting a 69-93 record in five seasons.

Eastward expansion means more travel costs for an Illinois women’s basketball team that is the athletic department’s biggest team expense. The program lost $1.67 million in the 201011 season, and trips to College Park, Md., and Piscataway, N.J., mean additional costs to a team that spent $483,828 on travel in 2010-11. Maryland and Rutgers will become the farthest Big Ten schools from Illinois at 712 and 808 miles, respectively. Penn State is currently the farthest school at 613 miles.

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1B this year, and the offense struggled throughout, averaging just 16.7 points per game — good for last in the conference and thirdto-last in the NCAA. “It goes in cycles,” defensive coordinator Tim Banks said. “If we could figure it out, we’d never have a bad year, but, unfortunately, we did.
