ILLINOIS PASSES PENSION REFORM Sweeping overhaul awaits signature of Gov. Pat Quinn
How your local representatives voted

After decades of attempting to fix 0RUH LQVLGH the state’s pension system, which 'PS DPMVNOJTU faces an estimated deficit of more .BY 'JTIFS T than $100 billion, the Illinois General Assembly passed the comprehensive PQJOJPO PO IPX QFOTJPOT pension reform bill Tuesday by a vote DBO BGGFDU TUVEFOUT UVSO of 62-53 in the House and 30-24 in UP 1BHF " the Senate. The measure aims to eliminate the worst state credit rating in the country by reducing cost-ofliving adjustments and increasing the retirement age, among other changes. Using 10 percent of the money saved from these cost-cutting measures, as well as annual payments from Fiscal Year 2020 to 2045, the state will fully fund the pension system by Fiscal Year 2044, according to the bill. University President Robert Easter, along with the chancellors of all three campuses, signed an email announcing the University’s opposition to the bill Monday. University spokesman Tom Hardy said the University and other Illinois public universities submitted official slips of opposition during Tuesday’s hearings. “It will go to Governor (Pat) Quinn, and he has said he’s going to sign it,� Hardy said. “The legislation is virtually certain to undergo a constitutional challenge, and it will be determined by the courts whether or not it ... will become the law of the land.� Quinn released a statement Tuesday supporting the bill. “This bill will ensure retirement security for those who have faithfully contributed to the pension systems, end the squeeze on critical education and health care services, and support economic growth,� Quinn said in the press release. In the meantime, the University will continue to look into how the legislation will affect the school and its employees. Hardy added that the University will be investigating whether

Vigilance still encouraged as crime rates decrease
Illini Union celebrates CLASS grand opening
Recent robberies remind students to remain on their guard as winter break approaches
Decrease in campus area robberies Reported robberies have decreased in the past two years, although they still remain a threat. On campus 10
BY BRITTNEY NADLER
The total number of robberies in Champaign decreased from 14 in 2010 to eight in 2012, but University of Illinois Police officers encourage students to be vigilant in coming weeks, as there is generally a jump in robberies prior to and during winter break. Deputy Chief of UIPD Skip Frost said there is no steady trend in the numbers, and the threat of robbery is always there. Algis Marcinkevicius, sophomore in LAS, saw this firsthand after returning from Thanksgiving break. Although he locked his apartment’s doors when he left campus, the front door was unlocked when he returned. He soon realized his apartment had been robbed. “There’s light timers that alternate being on and off in your house to make it seem like you’re living there, so I’m definitely getting one of those and installing one ... and turning them on during breaks,� Marcinkevicius said. A 19-year-old male was allegedly robbed by two unknown suspects on Nov. 21 at around 6:30 p.m. at 510 E. Stoughton St., according to a Champaign Police Department report. The victim was approached by the two men upon arriving at his apartment. One suspect allegedly pointed a gun at him and robbed him of several electronic items. The suspects then forced the victim to open his apartment door, at which point they stole a set of headphones before escaping in an unknown direction. Frost described the crime as “extremely disturbing� for Uni-

Students look for jobs over interests in major Only 36% of students select a major in line with their interests BY ZILA RENFRO STAFF WRITER
Like 1,774 other freshmen this year, Haley Voltz entered the University as a student in DGS, unsure of what she wanted to major in. As the fall semester closes, she is now leaning toward majoring in accounting — something she enjoyed in high school. Though she is unsure whether she will still continue to be passionate about the subject, she said there is an important reason why she is sticking to accounting. “I know you make good money
with accounting,� Voltz said. “I want something that will keep me financially stable in the future.� Choosing a major primarily for job security is not unique among freshman this year. According to the ACT’s College Choice Report, only one out of three incoming freshmen in 2013 chose a major that matched their interests. The study compared the majors ACT-tested students chose to their ACT Interest Inventory score. Around 32 percent of students chose a major that was labeled a “poor fit� with their interest. “(This trend) has gotten more and more prevalent because of the economic situation and also the rising cost of higher education,� said Keith Marshall, executive director of the Campus Center for Advis-

ing and Academic Services. Marshall explained that many times parents put pressure on students to choose certain career paths because they “don’t want to spend $30,000 a year on something that doesn’t seem like it’s preparing you for a career or a profession.� For this reason, many freshmen end up going into majors in fields like business, biology and engineering, despite the fact that they do not have a particular interest or aptitude for these areas, Marshall said. While it is common for students to choose majors that do not match their interests, it can have negative effects on their academic performance. ACT research

Four UI professors earn fellowships for their work BY STANTON POLANSKI STAFF WRITER
Steve Boppart, director of Imaging at Illinois, was surprised when he found out that he would become a fellow of one of the oldest, largest and most prestigious scientific societies last month. His assistant wasn’t. “I’m surprised he hadn’t already won it,” assistant Darold Spillman said. “He’s already well-known for his work with imaging. It’s a great honor, but I’m amazed it took this long.” Last week, the American Association for the Advancement of Science announced which researchers would be given fellowships. Four are University faculty: Boppart, Sharon Hammes-Schiffer, Kanti Jain and William Paul King. Boppart still doesn’t know which of his colleagues nominated him for the honor. He was told not to tell anyone after the unexpected email arrived in his inbox in November until it was officially announced later that month but has been motivated since receiving the notice. “It inspired me to work even harder now,” he said. “What’s always motivated my work is that I want to help people and change the world for the good and use technology and use engineering to solve our problems.” For the past 20 years, Boppart has been developing optical coherence tomography as an alternative to ultrasound imaging. Instead of using sound waves to see a fetus or internal organs, he is working to create high-resolution images from light waves. Because the level of detail optical coherence tomography can capture, it avoids the trouble of having to take out tissue to examine under microscopes. This level of detail will not just make medical professionals’ jobs easier, but it will save lives. “It’s (going) to solve a lot of the problems in medicine and health care — using engineering and developing these new devices and technologies to do things like detect cancer or detect disease at the earliest stages,” he said. “This is where we can treat disease best, and hopefully have the right treatments to cure disease like cancer.” Boppart said around 30 percent of breast cancer patients who undergo surgery will need to undergo further operations because tumor cells are left behind. Because the surgeon

MAJORS indicates that students who are interested in their majors are more likely to stay in their majors, stay in college and graduate on time. After exploring different majors this year, Sarah Goldberg, freshman in DGS, thinks psychology would be a major she will enjoy. “I’m pretty passionate about psychology,” Goldberg said. “It’s one of the subjects where I actually want to study for it, and I actually pay attention in class.” However, she admits that job security is a major deciding factor when choosing a career path. Marshall said job opportunities are based on many different elements besides academic preparation. He also said the idea that liberal arts degrees do not get jobs is untrue. “A common refrain you hear is, ‘I’m good at math and people told me I should do engineering.’ Well, being good at math and actually enjoying what engineers do are two different things,” Marshall said. The University differs from most liberal arts colleges and even some Big Ten schools in that freshmen declare a major upon admission. Other universities offer the option of declaring a major sophomore year. Marshall said this is why he finds DGS to be an impor-

Stephen Boppart works on his imaging research. He was one of four University faculty to be named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on Nov. 25. does not have a microscopic view, he or she cannot see whether enough tumor cells have been removed. With optical coherence tomography, surgeons can. Basic check-ups will change as well. Instead of shining a penlight and using what is essentially a magnifying glass, doctors will have the chance to examine cells to see whether disease is sprouting. On Feb. 15 at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Chicago, the new fellows will be recognized for their work with a ceremony. Boppart will walk out with a pin and plaque in his hands. Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Rashid Bashir became an AAAS fellow in 2012.
Like Bashir, Boppart will get a chance to experience the fellowship as well as taking a break from work for the ceremony. “I’m very excited and very proud for this to be bestowed upon him,” Bashir said. “I think of his work highly. He absolutely deserves this award.” But when the ceremony ends, the work will pick up again just like always. “It’s always gratifying when awards are given, but at the end of the day, it’s the work that excites us,” Bashir said. “Being able to use these technologies to help people, cure disease, save lives is what keeps me going and motivates me,” Boppart said.

Residents of Champaign will now be able to raise hens, as the Champaign City Council voted 7-1 Tuesday to amend a previous ordinance that didn’t allow residents to own the animal. The ordinance states that citizens must obtain a license to possess hens. Licenses will only be granted to those who live in single-family and two-family homes. They are allowed to own a minimum of two hens and a maximum of six per property. Roosters are prohibited within Champaign, and hens must be kept in a designated coop, or run, that follows the provisions outlined in the ordinance, but hens are permitted to exercise in a backyard with a 6-foot or higher fence with supervision. Their food must be stored in a fully-enclosed container. “For 30 years, everyone felt like this was really a nervous, hotbutton topic about whether or not you can raise hens,” said Mayor Don Gerard. “But as it turns out, it’s really a pretty progressive thing to do.” At a study session in November, a resident questioned whether the

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama, stung by the enduring controversy over his health care overhaul, tried Tuesday to go on the offensive. Republicans waited with a new round of congressional hearings. Obama told hundreds of handpicked supporters gathered at the White House complex that America needed to move beyond the health care website to focus on the benefits of the law. “What’s important for everybody to remember is not only that the law has already helped millions of people, but that there are millions more who stand to be helped, and we’ve got to make sure they know that,” the president said. “Our poor execution in the fi rst couple months on the website clouded the fact that there are a whole bunch of people who stand to benefit.” Obama, who has seen his approval rating plunge to the lowest levels of his presidency, will spend the next month on a renewed effort to tout the law’s benefits. He plans to stress how the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, will slow growth in health care costs, provide preventative care and assist those with pre-existing conditions. Health care is shaping up as a defi ning issue for the two

Boiling debates between parties will decide future of Obamacare PENSION BY DAVID LIGHTMAN AND ANITA KUMAR

major political parties as the 2014 campaign year begins. Obama has been dogged in recent weeks by problems with the health care website, and Tuesday’s event was an effort to pivot attention from that turmoil. While he did not go as far as declaring the website fi xed, the president said the administration met its goal of making the website usable for the vast majority of visitors by the end of November. More than 1 million people visited the website Monday, more than doubling its typical weekday volume of users. Some were asked to return later because of the high volume. The site, which serves as the portal for the federal health insurance marketplace, can now accommodate 50,000 simultaneous users and more than 800,000 daily visitors. Offices expect a surge this month as people enroll in coverage in order to have insurance that begins on Jan. 1. Obama and Republicans agreed on one thing Tuesday: Regardless of the website’s status, it’s time to move on to a more extensive health care debate. The House of Representatives plans three separate hearings Wednesday and another Friday on the health care plan. Each will be chaired by a veteran Republican, and each is expected to attract hordes of television
cameras and social media bloggers and tweeters. Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, made it clear that the party was ready to attack Obamacare on several fronts. “It’s not just a broken website,” he said. “This bill is fundamentally flawed, causing people to lose the doctor of their choice, causing them to lose their health plan. And if that wasn’t enough, they’re having to pay much higher prices at the same time.” Republicans have made health care emblematic of all that conservatives dislike about government, that it’s too big, intrusive and expSince such hearings tend to last at least three hours each, and such hearings can dominate the blogosphere for hours. ensive, not to mention deceptive. They seized on a report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration that said the Internal Revenue Service needs to adhere more closely to security, fraud detection and risk management controls in its oversight of the program that provides federal subsidies for people purchasing marketplace health coverage. Obama was defi ant Tuesday. “If I’ve got to fi ght another three years to make sure this law works, then that’s what I’ll do. That’s what we’ll do,” Obama said. “But we’re not repealing it as long as I’m president.”

it will be able to provide a supplementa l reti rement program to employees. “We have to remember that the employees of the University are our greatest resource and asset,” he said. “We need to be able to keep our top talent.” The bill will place a salary cap of $109,971 on all faculty; the University already has this cap in place for new hires, but under this bill, it will apply to all employees. There are 2,984 faculty with salaries currently above the cap. Long-standing, prestigious faculty who have made significant

By doing this, suspects are “sizing up the next victim,” Frost said.
proposed license fee of $50 was too high for low-income families. The ordinance voted on at Tuesday’s meeting included a lower fee of $25. City Council member at-large Karen Foster said at the meeting that the residents she spoke to were concerned about the property value decreasing if hens were allowed. “In Evanston and in Carbondale, Illinois, they’ve had their ordinances in the books for a few years, and we’ve certainly modeled our ordinance after theirs; they haven’t had a single enforcement action,” Lacey Rains Lowe, a Champaign city planner, said at the meeting. “So they haven’t seen anything in relation to enforcement, but they also have no evidence of even neighbor complaints, let alone a reduction in property value.” Gerard said he and Deputy Mayor Tom Bruno encouraged community members to get organized and reach out because although some residents wanted to discuss the issue, the council did not. “It was really one of those democracy-in-action things where citizens just pummeled City
Council members with information and pleas, and basically it went and turned around from only being able to only having two signatures (you need five to have a study session) to passing in the study session 8-1,” Gerard said. Multiple residents thanked the Council for their work, asked clarifying questions about the ordinance and offered their suggestions at the study session. “It has been illuminating how many people in the community have expressed an interest in doing this,” Bruno said at the study session. “I don’t think a year ago ... we collectively would have guessed how many people in our community have an interest in participating in this activity.” Gerard said after speaking with friends who reside in Urbana and own chickens, he is considering raising hens. “I have a dog right now, and it would probably drive her crazy, but I’m actually not opposed to the idea,” Gerard said. “I’ve had friends in Urbana who love (hens) and say they’re really friendly and you can compost their poop.”
contributions to the University whose salaries are above the cap will not be given a fair pension in return, said Professor Harriet Murav, president of the Campus Faculty Association. She added that because the cap is significantly below what top-earning faculty make, it will become increasingly difficult to attract and recruit new top faculty. Hardy agreed with Murav’s statement and said that because the bill will reduce employees’ retirement benefits, the University is at a “competitive disadvantage” against its peers. “We’re an economic engine for the state, and if we begin to dissipate that by not being able to attract and keep the top talent, the University will be diminished
and so will the state,” Hardy said. Professor of fi nance Jeffrey Brown authored a counterproposal to the pension bill when it was still being discussed in March. He and four other professors, all from state universities, warned legislators that the legislation would burden government employees. “One way or another, this is going to put fi nancial strain on the University, and it is going to put us at risk at losing what is really our single most important asset, which is our faculty,” he said. “There aren’t any risks that are more significant to the University than that one.”
Bryant Irwin, a Champaign resident, described his neighborhood as “relatively quiet,” but he had his home robbed during winter break in 2010 while he was out of town. Irwin’s roommate heard the burglar and went downstairs before allegedly being threatened by the suspect. By the time police arrived, the suspect was gone and had taken a 12-pack of Rolling Rock and an Xbox 360, Irwin said. The suspect was caught and arrested the same night. “I wish I had left the ... blinds closed and kept the door locked,” Irwin said. “My big-screen TV was visible from the road, and combined with an unlocked door, it was an easy target.” Irwin advises everyone to keep high-value electronics out of sight from the outside and to keep doors locked even when inside.
“Most thefts are a crime of opportunity, so limit the opportunity and you will make yourself less of a target,” he said. Anyone with information regarding a crime is urged to contact the Champaign Police Department at (217) 351-4545. Information can also be texted to 274637 with the keyword “CCTIP.” To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (217) 373-8477 or 373tips.com. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest. “People are so involved with their iPhones, with their iPads, with their earphones, everybody’s just kind of tuned out,” Frost said. “That’s not a safe way to go through life.”

hat began as a referendum to gauge students’ views on a potential campus-wide smoking ban in 2011 will come to fruition on Jan. 1. At the time, 70 percent of students who voted on the referendum were in favor of a smoke-free campus. Students raised concerns over the detrimental effects of exposure to second-hand smoke. Those effects, according to Campus Recreation, include “breathing difficulties, eye irritation, headaches and nausea,� among other long-term effects to nonsmokers. Just a year later, the Smoke-Free Ad Hoc Committee formed by Chancellor Phyllis Wise issued an online survey, which had a fairly low response rate, to 10 percent of students, faculty and staff: Nearly 50.1 percent of students and 50.6 percent of employees supported a smoke-free campus. To say the least, support for the ban isn’t the strongest, but neither are efforts to help smokers adjust in the new year.
Smoke-free campuses
According to the American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation, in the United States, more than 1,000 campuses are 100 percent smokefree. A tobacco-free campus was implemented at the University’s Chicago campus in July. And although this University will soon join those ranks, a smoke-free campus in the Big Ten isn’t anything new. Both Indiana University and the University of Iowa established smoke-free campuses in 2008, and Purdue University and the University of Michigan later followed suit. Buildings are smoke-free at six other Big Ten universities, while four have had conversations regarding the possibility of a smoke-free campus. A 2011 Indiana University study of students at Purdue University and Indiana University at Bloomington found that smoking rates declined after campus-wide smoking bans, and those who still smoked used fewer cigarettes. The University plans to ban the smoking of tobacco, including e-cigarettes, entirely on campus-owned property, which comprises indoor and outdoor areas and in private vehicles. But despite some positive outcomes from smoking bans on other campuses, enforcement seems to be the most difficult aspect of the policy.
Enforcement
University officials have cited education and existing disciplinary procedures as the initial plan for enforcement. About 20-50 student ambassadors will be trained to approach smokers prior to implementation to “inform them of the policy, give them a smoke-free policy card and direct them to a smoke-free campus map,� The Daily Illini reported last month. The University Police Department also cited its role in assisting through educating people about the policy. To further strengthen enforcement efforts, a reporting mechanism will be established so that students and faculty can report violations. Student ambassadors will be responsible for responding to reported violations. Although tickets and warnings won’t be issued initially if students are smoking on campus, it could be reconsidered when progress of the smoking ban is re-evaluated after three months. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Renee Romano feels confident that the strategies for enforcement are sufficient and adequate. Romano and Wise have talked to other schools and are well-aware that adjustment periods will be inevitable.
Resources
There’s been little information explaining how the University will help smokers during the initial three-month adjustment period post-Jan. 1. A few efforts have been made by McKinley Health Center, but its efforts do not yet provide the full-scale resources necessary to encourage people to comply with the policy. Still, for those who do smoke on campus, nicotine replacement will be available at the Quad Shop, Activities and Recreation Center, Student Dining and Residential Programs building. Signs will be posted around campus, maps and brochures will be readily available and designated employee break rooms will be established. Tobacco-cessation programs will be offered through the McKinley Health Center and the UI Wellness Center. And it’s these programs — not the maps and the signs — that need to be amped up and fleshed out, but so far it doesn’t seem like that’s happening.
Recent pension reform more wrong than right MAX FISHER Opinions columnist
M
otivated educators push students to succeed. It is this drive and passion for forming the minds of young adults that when wielded correctly by a professor can inspire students. However, how can professors be motivated when they look at their retirement outlook and see a shell of what it once was? Now, for the most part, professors do not go into teaching for the money. But when it comes to retirement, everyone, whether they are economics professor or auto workers, wants to know that they will be able to support themselves when they can no longer work. Professors need to have fiscal security, or they will go to other universities that can offer them that financial safety blanket. Because the Illinois House approved pension reform Tuesday, 62-53, University professors may suffer many financial cutbacks, which could lead to an exodus of great professors to other universities. It is no secret that Illinois has an enormous burden of public debt. In fact, one of the largest reasons for this mammoth amount of debt is the nearly $130 bil-
lion in unpaid pension liabilities. These pensions pay out to public employees of the state, employees that include our professors here at the University. As a public university, our professors’ pensions are funded by the state. If the state is hemorrhaging capital like it is now, then these pensions go unfunded. Here at the University of Illinois, we have a whopping $20 billion shortfall when it comes to pension liabilities. While it may be hard to see, bad pensions are also bad for students. If professors are less incentivized to stay here, or less motivated to teach at their highest level, then the quality and value of our education goes down. If the professors suffer, so could students. University President Robert Easter called the pension deal a “significant impairment to higher education in Illinois and, in particular, our ability to recruit and retain the kind of faculty and staff we need.� President Easter is right about professor recruitment and retention. Pensions are usually based on either volun-
tary salary contributions or a calculation based on salary and years of service or membership in the plan. Therefore, professors’ salaries are another part of this pension problem. If the University wants to maintain good pensions they have to allow for increasing professor salaries to compete with other universities. The University cannot risk losing great professors to other universities that can offer better pay and better pensions. This would lead to an overall decline in the University’s status as an elite research institution. The University currently ranks high among public universities being tenth in the nation according to Forbes. However, by offering higher pay, some professors’ salaries may go over the proposed salary cap of $109,971, which would affect their retirement payouts. Essentially, the prestigious faculty with the largest salaries, and therefore key contributors to the University, will not be given fair pensions. The recently approved pension reform plan will make it more difficult to keep our
While it may be hard to see, bad pensions are also bad for students.
professors at the University rather than going elsewhere where the pension situation is probably much better. According to President Easter, there is an alternate route to pension reform that would work with the University. This plan is outlined in the “Six Point Plan� developed by the University’s Institute of Government and Public Affairs Office. Part of this plan includes an increase to the required contributions made by certain state employees, and in return the state would have certain funding commitments. While this plan is not perfect either, it offers a more palatable plan for the University. While this recently approved overhaul by the Illinois legislature may not be the most reliable, we also cannot keep the system as is. Clearly the debate on pension reform must continue because the proposed plan is not good enough. Nevertheless, changes like raising the retirement age are steps in the right direction. Either way, a fair pension system is essential for our professors if we want to keep them at the University, and sustain the high level of academic excellence that we expect as students.

Finals week: Survival of the fittest KATE CULLEN Opinions columnist
W
ith Thanksgiving break in the rearview mirror and winter break on the horizon, there is only one thing standing in the way of the month-long break filled with sleeping in and doing absolutely nothing — finals. The season of late night study sessions is upon us and in full swing since students returned to school just days ago. Finals have snuck up on us once again, and just like the cat in the background of Miley Cyrus’s latest performance, the fast approaching finals are something we did not expect and were not prepared for. Many of us have experienced the torture of finals week firsthand, but for those of you who have killed too many brain cells celebrating extracurricular activities, for those who were abroad last semester and were too busy eating gelato to even remember finals, or for those freshmen who still think they are in high school and believe finals begin after break, here are some things you can expect. This is for you — pay close attention. Dark clouds will hover over the University like Dementors
at a Quidditch match as finals loom over the coming weeks. Your only job is to make sure they do not suck out your soul. It is a difficult task, but somehow the majority of students are able to make it out alive and walk into the light at the end of the tunnel that is winter break. Before you get there, though, there are some things to keep in mind while preparing for your final exams. First of all, do not try to go to the Undergraduate Library. You will not get a table, or a seat for that matter, unless you bring your sleeping bag, a bottle of water and plan on stalking a group of people at a table until they give up and get up. If you are one of the lucky few to score a table, hold on to it like it is a golden ticket. Do not get up to go to the bathroom, send your friends to bring you coffee, and for the love of God, you better hope you have your laptop charger with you. Make friends with the nice barista gods at Espresso. Be pleasant and try not to look dead when you order your venti non-fat, slim latte with ten extra shots of espresso because if they like you they will punch your free coffee card twice for one purchase. That way, you score a free cup of coffee faster, but they only do that if they like you. Netflix will become your best
friend. Don’t ask why, it just will. If you have not scammed a user name and password from someone else yet, make sure you get one fast because you will become very close with Netflix and its plethora of shows during these tough times. It makes sense to begin the ten seasons of “Grey’s Anatomy� during the busiest time of the year when procrastination is at its peak — because what else are you going to do, study? I don’t think so. If you are one of those people who magically do not have finals or get to leave to go home before finals even begin, do not speak to anyone about it. Chances are, anyone you tell your plans to has a final on the last day at the last time slot and will not take kindly to your happy-go-lucky attitude about how finals are not really that hard. Bow out in silence and be respectful of those who must endure the struggle the longest. For some, your finals schedule may be so spread out that it is possible for you to return home for a few days and then
come back to the University to take your final. Sure, that sounds good in theory because you get a few extra days at home and of course you will study the whole time — no. No, that is the worst plan ever. Not only will you not study, but coming back to school will be more painful than having your wisdom teeth removed without anesthesia. It is unnatural, wrong and if you plan on passing your final exam, you will suck it up and stay at school until it is over. Though I do not hold the secrets to acing every final exam, I do know a thing or two about how to survive finals week. Even though it may seem impossible to write a research paper for all of your classes in a 48-hour time period, just remember that this is only temporary. The end is near. And you will never have to do this again — until the end of spring semester rolls around.
Dark clouds will hover over the University like Dementors at a Quidditch match as finals loom over the coming weeks.

Students combat colder weather as winter nears BY ABBY GLICKMAN STAFF WRITER
Given that the first snowfall of the season has already passed, it’s the time of year for University students to bundle up, prepare for hazardous weather and stay healthy. Upon coming to the University as a freshman from Athens, Greece, Michael Halkias said he has had to adjust to the chilly temperature change. “In Greece, the coldest it would get would be October weather here,” said the junior in Engineering, The first thing Halkias did upon arriving to the United States was buy several jackets. He said he combats the brutal winter weather by finding rides to avoiding walking in the cold and wearing scarves, Under Armour and boots. He also brought his ski gear to school for extra insulation. Additionally, he said he had to adjust to earlier and more frequent snowfall. While our first snowfall happened in November, Halkias said that in Greece, it would snow approximately once every three years. Patrick Pak, meteorologist at the Central Illinois Weather Forecast Office of the National Weather Service, also recognizes the need to dress appropriately for the cold, especially during severe winter weather. He said it is important to cover up as much as possible, specifically the head and hands, and wear snow boots. D u r i ng the w i nter se a son, Pak said it is essential to be prepared for hazardous weather. There are certain precautions that must be taken to ensure safety during
a dangerous snowstorm. “If there is a big storm, it could take out the power, so you want to make sure you have enough supplies,” Pak said. Pak suggests keeping an emergency supply kit in case of a power outage, which includes bottled water, non-perishable food, flashlights and extra batteries, extra clothing and blankets, an extra set of keys, cash, medications, a first aid kit, personal hygiene items, pet supplies and a weather alert radio or portable AM/FM radio. Students who have cars on campus should be prepared with supplies as well, in case they get stuck in a winter storm while driving. Pak said that drivers should have a full tank of gas when possible. He also recommended bringing extra warm clothes and a blanket to prevent hypothermia, as well as the items listed in the emergency supply kit. He also said that it is important to watch out for vehicles while crossing the street, as it can be hard for drivers to see pedestrians. In addition to hazardous weather, this season also brings both the flu and the common cold. Avoiding these illnesses during the fall and winter can be difficult, especially while being around so many people on campus. “There’s no way to avoid getting a common cold in the absence of not going to places where there are crowds,” said Dr. Maureen Malee, medical director at McKinley Health Center. “If you’re in the elevator and someone sneezes, viruses are all around.” However, there are some
tricks to avoid catching the flu or common cold. Malee advised that students wash their hands, cover their mouths, avoid crowds in small places and stay away from people with cold and flu symptoms. “You can treat the symptoms, but not the virus,” she said. Therefore, students should treat the symptoms of the cold with their appropriate medications, such as Tylenol or Motrin for a fever, Malee said. Although winter doesn’t officially start until Dec. 21, Malee said that flu season starts as early as October and can last as late as May. She recommended that everyone get the flu vaccine. According to Malee, McKinley Health Center has given 10,850 flu vaccinations as of Nov. 26, and students will still have the chance to get vaccinated after break. According to McKinley’s website, students can receive the vaccine at no charge if they have already paid the Health Service Fee. Others can receive the vaccine for $30. Malee said that McKinley has reached out to students by offering the vaccine at more accessible locations, such at Lincoln Hall and Grainger Engineering Library. Malee also advised students who are sick to stay home, rest, drink fluids and try not to become exposed to more germs or expose their own germs. Before returning home for winter break, a few more chilly weeks lie ahead. Students can follow these tips to stay warm, prepared and healthy for the last few weeks of the semester.

DISH OF THE WEEK
A healthier take on a classic dish: Spaghetti squash with marinara
DOONESBURY
GARRY TRUDEAU
BY ELIZABETH DYE STAFF WRITER
As Thanksgiving break has come to a close, students may have noticed their jeans fitting a bit more snuggly than usual and their belts needing to be buckled notch or two looser. While the surplus of unhealthy yet delicious homemade dishes served during the holidays might have contributed to this weight gain, this does not mean students should ditch the comfort food they ate during break. They can still enjoy tasty, homey-feeling food, but without the extra calories. Here’s a lighter take on the classic spaghetti dish, which uses spaghetti squash in place of the noodles and contains a quarter of the calories that are in its pasta counterpart. And because of the vegetable-pasta switch, students eating the dish will be getting in multiple servings of vegetables. They will be also be ditching those heavy, processed carbs and that feeling of sluggishness that usually comes after consuming them. By following this simple recipe, they should be able to indulge in a delicious, satisfying guilt-free meal in just under an hour and work back to their pre-holiday physique in no time (until the next holiday rolls around, that is).

Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. 2. Take a sharp knife and cut the spaghetti squash lengthwise into two equal sized halves. Use a fork to scrape out all of the insides of the squash (the seeds and pulp). Then, cover a baking sheet with a sheet of aluminum foil and rub
olive oil on both sides of the squash before placing them cut side down onto the pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. (Be careful not to overcook the squash or it will get mushy.) Meanwhile, take your jar of marinara sauce and simmer it on the stove while your squash cooks. 3. Cool the squash until it’s safe to handle and run a fork inside of the squash to scrape out the spaghetti-like strands onto a plate. 4. Top with the desired amount of marinara sauce and parmesan cheese and enjoy! Serves four generously.

TRANS FAT FDA to ban trans fats. Regulations require the FDA to answer petitions within six months. However, in 2012, the petition remained unanswered. Greg Weston, a lawyer based in San Diego, contacted Kummerow and filed a lawsuit in his behalf. “I have been doing the same thing as Dr. Kummerow has been doing but from a legal angle and trying to get trans fat banned,” Weston explained. In response to the lawsuit, the FDA announced its plan to ban trans fats. But both Kummerow and Weston know the ban is not final and could take years to implement. Weston said that consumers who want to support Kummerow and speed up the ban process can submit formal comments online to the FDA at regulations.gov. “I would appreciate consumers putting in a comment ... just to say that they support the ban and that is something that (the FDA) takes into account ... the positive and negative comments in making their decision,” Weston said. Currently, Weston talks on the phone with Kummerow about once a week. “I don’t think anyone has done more to figure out the exact chemical pathways that trans fat causes damage to the cardiovascular system,” Weston said. “And he is doing that despite his advanced age and not tiring until he finishes the process.” Weston is not the only person
to attest to Kummerow’s character. Illinois research associate professors Sherry Qi Zhou and Mohamedain Mahfouz are both his friends and colleagues. Zhou and Mahfouz began researching heart disease with Kummerow in the 1980s at his Burnsides Research Laboratory in Urbana. “He gives you scientific freedom. Whatever idea you have, you can do it, as long as it is within the line of work,” Mahfouz said. Zhou considers Kummerow to be a friend or father figure rather than a boss. Mahfouz said they both were always invited to Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations at Kummerow’s home. Mahfouz especially admires Kummerow’s persistence and passion for research. Mahfouz said that some may believe that once people reach a certain age, they should just stop working and enjoy their lives. However, he said he thinks Kummerow “is becoming more scientifically aggressive.” Kummerow’s dedication to nutrition carries over to his personal life. He eats one egg each morning and drinks three glasses of whole milk every day. Not surprisingly, he stays away from fried and processed foods that contain trans fat. “When my brother, sister and I come to the house, we call it the health spa,” said his daughter, Kay Kummerow. “We eat so many fruits and vegetables and protein.” Wearing New Balance sneakers on his feet, it comes as no
shock that Kummerow exercises for an hour daily on a stationary bike. Kummerow works on papers every day and watches journalist Bill Moyer on public television in his free time to learn even more. He continues to work on new projects that he cannot disclose as of yet. Kummerow stayed at the University because he considers universities to be “cathedrals of learning.” The old cathedrals in Prague and Munich amaze Kummerow because they were built before Europe was industrialized and builders had to “learn how to think,” he said. “What is the reason for you to come to a university in the first place? To learn how to think,” Kummerow explained. Kummerow said learning to think in college makes you a different person compared to somebody who just went to high school. Students should remember that it is the learning process that’s important, he said. He said that students can focus on anything they want in the future, but suggests they research Parkinson’s disease. “That’s what my wife died of last year. We were married 70 years, she was a wonderful person,” he said. In the meantime, Kummerow will enjoy his egg and glass of whole milk each morning in preparation for his full day. The slate plaque sits in his breakfast nook. “I am still learning.” Michelangelo would be proud.

Fred Kummerow, emeritus professor of comparative biosciences, sits in his Urbana home and discusses his lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work of heart disease research and his campaign to ban trans fats. On Nov. 7, the FDA announced its plan to ban the substance from processed foods.

After 50 years, Fred Krummerow sees a victory in his fight against hydrogenated fats BY ANNABETH CARLSON STAFF WRITER
In Fred Kummerowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Urbana, a small slate plaque reads â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am still learning.â&#x20AC;? Michelangelo recorded this quote when he was 87 years old. For Kummerow, who is 99, these are the words he has lived by his whole life. Kummerow is an emeritus professor of comparative biosciences at the University. He is renowned for his research in heart disease, specifically the dangers of trans fat. After campaigning for over 50 years to eliminate the substance, Kummerowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeals have finally been acknowledged by the Food and Drug Administration, who announced their plan to ban trans fat on Nov. 7. Five days after the FDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement, Kummerow sat in a blue armchair in his living room, telling the story of his dedication to heart disease and nutrition research. During his lifetime, he has published 460 papers in peer-reviewed journals, written two books and traveled to 26 different countries. Despite retiring in 1978, Kummerow continues to work, hoping to learn even more. Kummerowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in nutrition began as a child. He was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1914 into a poor family. His father worked on the railroad, filling the lamps at switches. He would pour the leftover kerosene into a flask in his pocket and bring it home to Kummerowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, who then traded the fuel for food. The little amount she brought home kept the family alive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother would feed us ... a slice of bread with some sugar on it with coffee for taste,â&#x20AC;? Kummerow recalled. In 1923, nine-year-old Kummerow and his family immigrated to the United States. Relatives in Milwau-

kee, Wis., who worked at a concrete block factory secured a job for his father. Kummerow was first exposed to science at age 12 when he received a chemistry set from a relative. He proceeded to take three years of chemistry at the Boys Technology and Trade School, a high school in Milwaukee. After graduation, Kummerow attended the University of Wisconsin Extension Division night school. He took night classes while working 48 hours a week at a wholesale drug company. Kummerow only took classes in German, French and English, however, because chemistry classes were not offered at night. In order to pursue his passion for chemistry Kummerow quit his job. He worked the remainder of the summer at Miller Brewing Company and earned $300, enough to afford his first semester at Wisconsin-Madison University. During his first semester, he had to double up on freshman chemistry and organic chemistry to catch up with other students. He was proud to receive an A in both. Kummerow also worked as an assistant in the biochemistry laboratory to continue paying for his schooling. In 1942, Kummerow married his late wife, Amy, with whom he had three children. After years of hard work, Kummerow left with a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree and a Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1943. Next, Kummerow acquired a research position at Clemson University in Clemson, S.C., and studied Pellagra, a disease caused by a deficiency in the vitamin niacin. At the time, the disease was prevalent in the southeastern U.S., where many people consumed large amounts of corn. Kummerow added niacin to corn mixtures like grits, and deaths from the disease dropped.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know firsthand the impact of adding necessary ingredients to food and the difference that it makes in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. I know that a vitamin lacking in the diet can kill someone, and I know this can be changed,â&#x20AC;? Kummerow said in his 2008 book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cholesterol Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Kill You But Trans Fat Could.â&#x20AC;? In 1945, Kummerow moved to Manhattan, Kan., to work at Kansas State University, where he started a lipid chemistry program. While there, he received a grant from the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps to find a way to keep frozen turkeys fresh during travel. His team preserved the fat in turkeys by changing their diets. As Kummerow explained his turkey research process, his face lit up with pride. He has smiling eyes, which squint happily behind his framed glasses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, you can buy a frozen turkey because that was the kind of diet that turkeys have been fed ever since,â&#x20AC;? he said. In 1950, Kummerow moved his lipid chemistry program to the University. He began researching heart disease and trans fats after President Dwight D. Eisenhower had a heart attack in 1955. This increased public interest in heart research and Kummerow was able to receive grant funding from the National Institutes of Health. When Kummerow discussed funding, his smiling eyes hardened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to get money for all of (my research). In fact, I have never used University money. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always gotten grants, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still getting grants,â&#x20AC;? he said. While most scientists agree that heart disease stems from cholesterol, Kummerow believes it comes from trans fats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fats made with 14 synthetic compounds that are found in products such as margarines, fried foods and cake mixes. According to Kummerow, trans fat originated in 1910. People called it the â&#x20AC;&#x153;miracle fatâ&#x20AC;? because it was easier to bake with than lard and had a better
Facts about trans fat
â&#x20AC;˘ Currently, the FDA allows products with 0.5 grams or less of trans fat to be labeled as 0 grams of trans fat. â&#x20AC;˘ Trans fats are commonly found in food products such as margarine, shortening, cake mixes, fried foods and microwave popcorn. â&#x20AC;˘ The phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;partially hydrogenated,â&#x20AC;? found in a productâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nutrition Facts,â&#x20AC;? means it contains trans fats. â&#x20AC;˘ More than 500,000 people die every year from heart disease. â&#x20AC;˘ The FDA recommends a diet low in trans fat, saturated fat and cholesterol to prevent heart disease.

People loved that, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how dangerous this stuff was,â&#x20AC;? he said. A diet rich in trans fat causes the body to produce less prostacyclin, which helps blood flow in the arteries. Without it, blood clots form. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the lesson of this whole thing is donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tamper with nature. They were making 14 different fatty acids that had no business being there,â&#x20AC;? Kummerow said. In 1967, Kummerow worked with the food industry to lower the amount of trans fat in processed foods, but he would not rest until they were banned completely. In 2009, 42 years later, little advancement had occurred, so Kummerow sent a petition to the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy that all of those moments are in the past now and everything that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say about our college football days will start with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Remember when.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nathan Scheelhaase Remember when Nathan Scheelhaase was a freshman, redshirting his first season on campus? You probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. You probably remember Juice Williams cementing his name as one of Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best ever, surpassing Kurt Kittner as Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; all-time leader in yards. Remember when Scheelhaase broke
Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record? You should. It happened four days ago. The fifth-year senior broke the record in his last game in an Illini uniform, a 37-34 loss to rival Northwestern at Memorial Stadium. Scheelhaase finished his career with 10,634 career yards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 8,568 passing, 2,066 rushing. He fi nished 40 yards ahead of Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10,594. There have been more losses than wins in Scheelhaaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time as Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starting quarterback. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t moments worth remembering. Remember his first touchdown: A leaping, somersaulting score over a Northern Illinois defender on Sept. 18, 2010.

llinois could only fl irt with disaster for so long. In a 67-64 loss against Georgia Tech on Tuesday, Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fl aws fi nally came back to bite them. Illinois won by two points against UNLV and IPFW in consecutive games, and Georgia Tech would once again take the Illini down to the wire. A nifty post score by Daniel Miller gave Georgia Tech a lead it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relinquish with 25 seconds left in the game. Illinois shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have let this game get close in the fi rst place. Illinois blew two sizeable leads in this game. The fi rst time was when Illinois led 26-17 with 6:23 remaining in the fi rst half. Georgia Tech ended the half on a 19-7 run to take a 36-33 lead at halftime. This is the third straight game Illinois has trailed at the break. Illinois lost another lead when it charged on a 21-4 run to go up 60-48 with 9:15 left in the game. Illinois didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score
again until the 1:33 mark and let Georgia Tech end the game on a 19-4 run. These kinds of offensive droughts have become a trend for the Illini this season. Teams like UNLV and IPFW arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to make you pay for those lapses, but Georgia Tech did. Illinois was constantly passing the ball around the perimeter where they found few open looks down the stretch. Rayvonte Rice was depended on far too often Tuesday. The reigning Big Ten Player of the Week was terrific yet again. He fi nished with 24 points in his eighth straight game scoring in double digits. At one point, Rice single-handedly lifted the Illini, going on a personal 8-0 run while scoring 10 straight points for Illinois. The highlight of Riceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night is when he sent two Georgia Tech defenders flying into the air with a Rajon Rondo-esque ball-fake before scoring an and-1 bucket. As great as Rice was, he too faded in the waning moments of the game. Really no one else stepped up for the Illini in this one. Joseph Bertrand was second on the team in scoring

Georgia Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marcus Georges-Hunt falls to the floor as he fights for a loose ball with Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rayvonte Rice in the first half of the Big Ten ACC Challenge game at McCamish Pavilion in Atlanta on Tuesday. with 10, but he missed a wideopen 3-pointer in the corner that wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given Illinois the lead late. The rest of the team combined for 30 points. Illinois isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good enough defensive team to make up for offense performances like this. With only Rice and Bertrand acting as a capable scorers off the dribble (Tracy Abrams doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count, not when he shot 1-for-7 and missed consecutive uncontested layups at one point), the Illini were completely lost in the clutch. Rice could only hold the team on his back for
so long. Illinois flashed its potential in this game. During that 21-4 run Illinois dominated on both ends of the floor, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last. A loss at Georgia Tech may not seem earth shattering, but letting a game like this slip away will hurt Illinois down the road. Especially when losses begin to pile up during the grind of the Big Ten season.

Warning: The following article contains ramblings on failed relationships, broken hearts and ruined fantasy football teams of a self-wallowing nature. Reader discretion is advised. tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to put an end to this, Philip Rivers. There was a time when I considered you someone I could count on. You werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just an ally that helped me bring home fantasy wins, you were a friend who I believe deserved unadulterated trust and faith. We were going to dominate the ranks together, you and I. As a team, we were going to achieve the glory of a first-place fantasy finish. But then you betrayed me. At the times where I needed you most last year, you let me down, and it built up over time. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you where our relationship first went rocky. Maybe it was your tie for second place in quarterback fumbles at seven on the season. It could have also been your failure

to break 300 yards more than twice, or, really, any of your 15 poorly timed interceptions. But while I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t narrate every step along our relationshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path to ruin, I can tell you what finally pushed me over the edge. It was Week 13, the final push for the fantasy playoffs. A win meant playing the worst team in the playoffs. A loss meant facing my best friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unpredictable team. I liked my odds, though. You were playing the Bengals, it should have been fine, right? Sure enough, you did it. You got me the points I needed and pushed me into a win by a single point. With the game nearing its end, I breathed easy. Then, something I should have expected happened. You looked to the end zone on fourth-and-10 with the game on the line, your eyes never leaving Malcolm Floyd and mine growing wider. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember much of the throw itself. I just remember the ball dropping into a duo of defenders, each eagerly waiting for its descent. I remember two points â&#x20AC;&#x201D; too many points â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Illini point guard faces former team BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER
Just two years ago, pointguard Sarah Hartwell called Georgia Tech’s McCamish Pavilion home. Now, she will be just another visitor Wednesday night when the Illini (5-3) take on the Yellow Jackets (4-2) in the Big Ten/ ACC Challenge. “I’m excited to go back and play against former friends and teammates,” Hartwell said. “For the most part I’m going to use the game to get better and to get ready for the Big Ten season.” After graduating high school from Bellarmine Prep in her hometown of Tacoma, Wash., Hartwell originally signed with Georgia Tech with expectations of being the program’s point
guard for the future. Unfortunately for Hartwell, things didn’t go as planned in her first collegiate season, and she elected to transfer to Illinois and sit out what would be her sophomore season because of the NCAA’s transfer rules. “For the most part it just wasn’t a good fit overall for me,” Hartwell said when asked why she decided to transfer. The sophomore guard also said the circumstances of her transfer didn’t have a negative impact on her relationship to the school. “When we first found out we were going [to Georgia Tech] she seemed excited about that,” Bollant said. “She’s got a boyfriend who plays on the guys’ team, and she’ll be seeing some former teammates, so I think there will be mixed emotions.”

The 6-foot-2 Davis is averaging 18.8 points per game and 6.0 rebounds. “They’re a really good basketball team,” Bollant said. “Davis is one of the best freshmen in the country. ... They played with Tennessee at Tennessee, so they’re really talented. They’ve got two of the best players in the ACC with Davis and Tyaunna Marshall.” Bollant said his team will have to limit the Yellow Jackets’ shots per possession by dominating the defensive glass, something the Illini have struggled at this season. He also said his team will have to take care
of the basketball and to score more efficiently in order to limit transition opportunities. After starting the season 4-1, the Illini have hit a rough patch, losing two of their past three games. Despite the struggles, Bollant and Hartwell believe the tougher scheduling will help prepare the Illini for the upcoming Big Ten slate. “North Carolina, Arizona State, Georgia Tech, Colorado — they would all finish in the top of the Big Ten, they would all do extremely well in the Big Ten,” Bollant said. “It’s a really challenging schedule, and it’s going to give us an opportunity to grow and see what we we’re not good at.”

Birks unanimously voted onto All-Big Ten team No. 13-seed Illinois hosts NCAA 1st, 2nd rounds BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER
BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Jocelynn Birks spikes the ball during the game against Purdue at Huff hall on Nov. 16. Birks recently was unanimously to the All-Big Ten volleyball team.
Illinois sophomore outside hitter Jocelynn Birks gives the popular meme “Oooooo, kill ‘em,” a new meaning. The team leader in kills was a unanimous selection to the AllBig Ten volleyball team, the conference announced Tuesday. Junior outside hitter Liz McMahon was announced as an honorable mention for the team and senior defensive specialist C ou r t ney A bra h a mov ich was selected for the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award, which is awarded to one player per team. “It’s really cool,” Birks said. “It’s an honor, obviously, but it’s about the team. I couldn’t do it without any of them on the court with me.” Birks ranks fifth in the conference in kills per set (3.97), total kills (453) and points per set (4.51). She recorded eight 20-kill matches and 10 double-
doubles, consisting of kills and digs, on the season. “As far as Jocelynn being on the All-Big Ten team, I wasn’t really surprised,” Abrahamovich said. “I knew how much of a huge transformation she made this spring. ... This year she just totally turned into a go-to player ... Liz too. They’re both our main two guns. Without them we wouldn’t be here, obviously. “I was really excited to get the Sportsmanship Award. I’m just glad that the time I’ve put in here has helped other people. That’s my main goal, is to help the team get better. ... If I can influence people in a positive way both on and off the court, I feel like I’ve done my job.”
Big Ten well-represented in NCAA tournament Eight teams from the conference were able to gain a berth into the NCAA tournament, tying a record. This is the fifth time eight teams from the Big Ten have made the tournament. Only the Pac12 conference had more teams reach the tournament this year, with nine. “The talent in the conference is great, it’s one of the reasons everyone is so tough to play,” Birks said. “I think the
conference is one of the best.” Four other teams from the conference were ranked among the top 16 and will host the first round. Joining No. 13 Illinois will be No. 2 Penn State, No. 8 Nebraska, No. 10 Minnesota and No. 12 Wisconsin. Purdue, Michigan and Michigan State also received bids.
Home record not indicative of play After getting the No. 13 seed and home-court advantage for the first four rounds of the tournament, an 8-5 home record throughout the season may not look appealing. A deeper viewing shows that Illinois’ five losses at home were against teams all seeded in the top 10 of the tournament. The Illini’s losses came to the Nos. 1, 2, 3, 8 and 10 seeds. Illinois would not have to face a top-16 seeded team until the third round, if No. 4 Missouri is able to advance. “Knowing we would be back here, I definitely teared up a little bit,” Abrahamovich said. “Playing somewhere else, it just wouldn’t be the same. Our homecourt advantage is huge as far as our fanbase goes, so that always helps.”

Saying goodbye to the Bowl Championship Series PETER BAILEYWELLS Sports columnist
D
espite its obvious problems, the BCS rankings always bring high drama to the end of the college football season. This week is the BCS’s last hurrah. Oh BCS, how we’ll miss your frustrating polls. Oh BCS, how we’ll miss your confusing computers. Oh BCS, how we’ll miss your twists and turns. Oh BCS, how we’ll miss you. As you probably have realized by this point, this is the last season that the NCAA will implement the Bowl Championship Series rankings and oh what a farewell performance this is shaping up to be; the BCS isn’t going down without a fight. Last Saturday, the one-loss No. 4 Auburn Tigers knocked off the undefeated No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide and shook up the BCS standings so that they now resemble an insane asylum; neat to look at, but crazy on the inside. Two lovely undefeated teams (Florida State and Ohio State) sit at the top, followed by three one-loss SEC powerhouses (Auburn, Alabama and Missouri). With one week remaining, the folks at ESPN are peeing their pants with the idea of a nonSEC National Championship, (the conference has won seven straight crystal footballs) and there is clearly no stopping to
breathe as we barrel towards Dec. 8 and the BCS selection show. Four of the top five teams play in conference championship games this weekend, which could help to solidify the picture. Let’s review: No. 1 Florida State has the easiest path to Pasadena, facing No. 20 Duke in the ACC championship on Saturday. If the Seminoles win, they’re in barring something miraculous. No. 2 Ohio State faces a tougher test against No. 10 Michigan State in the Big Ten championship, and No. 3 Auburn will play No. 5 Missouri in the SEC championship game. No. 4 Alabama will just sit and wait. But wait a second, what happens if Mizzou knocks off Auburn? Do they jump Alabama? Do they jump over Ohio State? What if Nos. 1, 2, and 3 all win? Does Auburn get in because of their consecutive wins against top five teams? Ohio State hasn’t beaten a team in the top 15 all season! Does Alabama even have a chance to make it in? Do any of the SEC teams get credit for the fact that seven SEC teams have made appearances in the AP top 10 at some point during the season? Why is this so complicated? (Sigh...) For those who don’t know, next season’s playoff system will involve four national semifinal teams chosen by a panel of 13 real humans. Eight other teams will be chosen for four other bowl games that will clearly present lots of opportunities for teams to be snubbed. Clearly the NCAA thought that humans

No. 4 Auburn defeats No. 1 Alabama at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday. The Tigers won 34-28, complicating the BCS rankings. choosing four teams would be easier than computers choosing just two. Using that logic, I’m a human and I would choose Florida State (assuming they win), Ohio State (assuming they win-they’re out if they lose), Alabama, and the winner of the SEC championship. Alabama gets the
No. 4 seed (they have to prove they can win from the bottom), and Florida State gets the No. 1 spot, with Ohio State and the Auburn/Mizzou winner playing in the No. 2/3 game. See? That wasn’t so hard! Forget my poem about the BCS, let’s just go straight to a playoff! It would be simpler to apply the
“no team with one loss is ranked higher than an undefeated team” rule with strength of schedule as a tiebreak, but no, the BCS computers aren’t that rational. There’s really no helping the BCS. It holds a lovehate relationship with every college football fan in the country, and leaves most of us
feeling utterly stumped. If you’re among the confused this Saturday, don’t worry, it’s almost over.

Wins against top-10 teams give Illini hockey confidence BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
The Illinois hockey team proved it belongs among the top tier of the ACHA by upsetting two top-10 teams, in Oklahoma and Central Oklahoma, and gained considerable confidence and momentum in the process. No. 15 Illini performed well in many areas, but perhaps the most important was scoring first in all three games over the weekend, which is something they haven’t been able to do very often this season. “It’s honestly very important,” senior forward Eddie Quagliata
said of scoring first. “I love playing ahead. It’s just better because you’re more confident with yourself and you know that you have some breathing room to try to get a little creative and make some plays.” Scoring first has been a focus all year for the Illini. Head coach Nick Fabbrini said that the first goal scored is a momentum goal, along with goals scored in the first and last few minutes of a period and the first couple of minutes after a goal. A large factor in Illinois’ loss in their second game against Oklahoma was giving up these
momentum goals. “We gave up two goals in the last 90 seconds of the first period and two goals in the last 70 seconds of the second period,” Fabbrini said. “So if you cut out those three minutes of hockey there, it’s a completely different game. So that’s something we need to make sure we do a better job of, finishing periods strong.” Playing well in front on the defensive end has been a large focus of late for the Illini, but executing well on offense and scoring first has just as big of an impact on the goaltending. “It’s a huge help,” senior goalie
Nick Clarke said. “Right when you get that first goal, it’s a whole other level of confidence you’re playing with. If I maybe let one in, I know that my team’s got my back and I know they’re going to score some goals, too.” After scoring just three goals in two games the previous weekend against Indiana, the Illini offense took a step forward against Oklahoma and Central Oklahoma, netting nine goals in three games. More importantly, the goal scoring has been a team effort, with five different players scoring those nine goals. Sophomore forward John Olen
was responsible for three of the goals and will be leaving for Italy to play for Team USA this weekend. Fabbrini said he would rather not lose his top scorer, but expects the entire team to accept the challenge of filling his shoes. “It’s going be everybody,” Fabbrini said. “All 12 to 14 forwards that dress up are going to have to understand that somebody is going to have to step up and contribute. We have enough offense to sustain the loss of (Olen), definitely. It’s just going to be a matter of guys stepping up and getting it done.” The Illini will face another
tough test this weekend against No. 2 Robert Morris, but after their successful trip to Oklahoma, intimidation will not be a factor. “Those kind of things don’t intimidate me personally, and I don’t think they intimidate our team,” Quagliata said. “I think it helps the team focus more and play harder. It’s always fun to take down a team that’s ranked very high, so we’re looking to take two from them at their place this weekend.”

FANTASY DOC dropping from my computer screen, readjusting the final score. And most of all, I remember the feeling in my gut that because of your interception, my fantasy football dreams were over for the season. I lost that next week as my friend’s team erupted against mine, scoring the most team points in the league for Week 14. Once the playoffs were over and the winner had been declared, I went back and did the math. If that interception doesn’t happen, my team earns enough points to win every other matchup. If you hadn’t tried to force it, Rivers, I could have won the year and all the glory
Wednesday, December 4, 2013
that comes with it. And now, over a year later, I still hold this grudge. With playoffs beginning again and my team tied for the best record in the league, I’ve had a revelation of sorts. I’ve been angry about our failed relationship for an entire season, and what good has it done me? It hasn’t made any of my other relationships stronger or better. Hell, check with my exgirlfriend, who dumped me last week. She can tell you how, despite my best efforts to make things work, we were both just “heading two different directions in life.” And right before Thanksgiving, too. Happy holidays! But it’s not really her fault. No more than it is Rivers’ fault. Sure, I didn’t like the choices
either of them made. And why should I? I thought they were stupid choices. But did getting upset change anything? Did burying my sorrows in love songs and cookie dough ice cream pints make things better? No, all it did was hold me in one place and keep me doing what I needed to do: move on. Is it going to hurt? Yeah, it’s going to hurt a lot — especially when you’ve already bought an expensive Christmas present you can’t return. But I’m a fantasy doctor. Failed attempts at love all through high school prepared me for dealing with these situations. You’ll only get better if you move on, and you can’t do that until you let go. So, Philip, I write this to tell you that I’ve moved on. Your mistakes are in the wind along with last year’s
fantasy team. What happened back then doesn’t matter anymore; it’s the past. We’ve both found new and better things. And hey, maybe with enough time and space between us, we can reignite our old spark next season. Take it from the doctor. A little time can heal all wounds. Just not with my ex. After all, she ruined my favorite meal of the year. I mean, who does that?
PICKUPS Josh McCown (quaterback, Bears, 15.3 percent owned in ESPN leagues) — Jay Cutler is still a day-to-day decision for Chicago, which means grab McCown for a rainy day. Depending on who you have starting, McCown could fill
the role nicely. In his last two games, which were losses against St. Louis and Minnesota, McCown threw for over 350 yards and at least two touchdowns. He’s only had one interception and one fumble in his four starts this season. Points matter more than anything now if you were lucky enough to make it to the playoffs, and with Dallas on Monday Night Football, plan on McCown racking them up. It’s time to decide if you have what it takes to win or need a little help from the Bears statistically successful backup.
DROPS Danny Amendola (wide receiver, Patriots, 94.8 percent) — The Patriots lead their division by three games, but
3B
they are by no means done playing. Still, there is little room for injury-prone Amendola. He had an effective open in Week 1, followed by six points in his next seven weeks. His triumphant Week 9 return drew many eyes, but I for one recognize it was a numerical fluke. He’s caught 14 catches in the last three weeks, amassing 10 points total. He’s just not worth it, especially in the first round of your league’s playoffs. Take a page from my exgirlfriend’s book and kick the guy to the curb. You’ll be feeling better in no time.

Head scratching ensues about Trestman’s OT decision in Bears 23-20 loss

Quarterback Jay Cutler (6) of the Chicago Bears waits for officials to determine whether a pass to wide receiver Alshon Jeffery would be ruled a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field in Chicago on Nov. 10.

between 40 and 49 yards. So did Trestman sense his offense had more than a 27 percent chance of royally screwing things up? Even on a day where the Bears rolled up 480 yards, their most prolific outing all season? This was a top 10 NFL offense against a bottom three defense. On 65 plays, the Bears averaged a season-best 7.4 yards. Matt Forte averaged 5.2 yards per carry and had gained 24 yards on five rushes on that drive. And overall, the offense was only penalized three times — on a first-half pass-interference call against tight end Martellus Bennett, then on both false-start and delay-of-game infractions against left tackle Jermon Bushrod in overtime. So why was Trestman suddenly influenced to give greater credence to what might possibly go wrong rather than visualizing the positive results that could’ve ensued from keeping the offense on the field? “Because the ball was in the middle of the field,” he responded Monday. “That was really the biggest reason. ... I just felt that that was a good time and place.” Not surprisingly, Bears players have publicly rallied behind Trestman’s decision. “I u ndersta nd M a rc’s thinking on that,” quarterback Josh McCown said. “We just watched (the Vikings) kick and get a penalty. So, you’re in range, you take a shot.”” General manager Phil Emery also had the coach’s back. At a fan luncheon hosted by WBBM on Monday, Emery expressed unwavering confidence in the

CHICAGO — Scalp doctors around Chicago might want to prepare for a spike in new patients this week. Bears coach Marc Trestman, it appears, has sparked a severe outbreak of head-scratching in the wake of Sunday’s dispiriting, demora l i zi ng, dow n r ight befuddling 23-20 loss to the Vikings. The confusion began Sunday and only escalated Monday with Trestman offering his explanation for choosing to attempt a 47-yard field goal by Robbie Gould on second-and-7 with 4 minutes, 12 seconds left in overtime. Gould’s kick, from the middle of the field, leaked just outside the right upright and the Bears never possessed the ball again, leaving the Metrodome with an agitating loss to a lastplace team that put the head coach in the line of fire for sharp criticism and curious interrogation. The surface-level question: Why kick on second down rather than have the offense run another play or two to get Gould closer? Trestman took that one head on, asserting that the Bears were going to attempt a field goal, no matter the down, as soon as they crossed the Vikings’ 30 in overtime. So when Matt Forte plowed from the 32 to the 29 on first down, keeping the ball in the middle of the field, Trestman had exactly what he wanted. “ We made a collective decision that once we got in, there was complete agreement and no discussion on the
matter,” Trestman said. With Gould kicking into a net behind the bench, Trestman called a timeout to give the kicking unit a chance to gather itself. The Vikings followed with their own timeout, presumably to ice Gould. But maybe they, too, were trying to process Trestman’s unorthodox decision. “There wasn’t analytics involved as much as it was, we’re clearly in his range,” Trestman said. “And we’re in the middle of the field.” Still, a deeper mystery remains unresolved. How did Trestman, who characterizes himself as a glass-half-full thinker, a leader who spent the first 11 games establishing a reputation as a fearless gambler in pressure situations, suddenly begin worrying about all the things he admitted being concerned about late Sunday? A possible penalty. A running play for negative yardage. A turnover. Most surprisingly, Trestman referenced a Vikings’ meltdown as one of the factors that caused him to shy away from running a third-down play, taking note that Blair Walsh’s 39-yard game-winning field goal earlier in overtime morphed into a 57-yard miss after Walsh’s made kick was negated by a facemask penalty and the Vikings’ subsequent play lost 3 yards. “The game was unique on a number of levels,” Trestman said. Still, statistically, the riskreward for running a thirddown play seemed to be in the Bears’ favor. Certainly over attempting a long kick, with Gould having missed 27 percent of his career attempts from
