Veterans center gets $4 million from state BY ILYA GUREVIC STAFF WRITER

A total of $4 million of state funding has been released for the construction of the Center for Wounded Veterans in Higher Education at the University, Gov. Pat Quinn announced at the Khan Annex in Huff Hall on Thursday. The center, which will be located at 908 W. Nevada St. between Goodwin and Lincoln avenues in Urbana, will serve as a hub for University students who have been injured during military service. Quinn emphasized the center’s value as a welcoming place for “wounded warriors” at the University. “We want to build (the center) so that wounded heroes from all over our country can come to a place of higher learning and get the best education imaginable because the University of Illinois is second to none,” Quinn said. “It is very, very important that we make it accessible to all of those who have borne the battle.” The center, which is under the umbrella of the College of Applied Health Sciences, intends to offer life skills management, counseling, academic and assistive technology services, among others, according to the center’s website. The three-story facility will also serve as a living space for up to 14 injured student veterans. Most of the estimated $12 million construction expenses will be funded through private donations. The building will be named in honor of the Chez family, in recognition of a $6 million gift from Illinois alumnus and U.S. Army veteran Ron Chez and his family’s foundation. And now with $4 million from the state, the remaining $2 million will

be covered by institutional fundraising by the University. Tanya Gallagher, dean of AHS, said that representatives of her college plan to come before the board of trustees at its January 2013 meeting to request approval to start the building’s construction. Jean Driscoll, assistant dean for advancement of AHS, said groundbreaking should take place later next year. Assistant Secretary of the Army Thomas Lamont applauded the center’s progress. “To have a facility like this available to (injured veterans) ... is just spectacular. We can’t thank the University and the Chez family enough,” said Lamont, an Illinois alumnus and former chairman of the board of trustees. “We know it’s truly the only facility in the country that’ll be able to do this.” Many members of the armed forces attended Quinn’s announcement Thursday. Travis Dodson, a disabled veteran and junior in ACES recognized by Quinn at the event, praised the initiative. “I think it’s great the University isn’t trying to make something that only exists on paper. They’re making a tangible thing to actually help,” he said. “I’m very impressed by them trying to help us out.” The $4 million is part of Illinois Jobs Now, a $31 billion plan started in 2009 to boost economic recovery with hundreds of infrastructure improvements around the state, over $100 million of which has been committed to renovating Lincoln Hall and the construction of the new Electrical and Computer Engineering Building.

Church withdraws demolition plan BY CORINNE RUFF STAFF WRITER

ROCHELLE WILSON THE DAILY ILLINI

West Urbana homes sit across the street from the Twin City Bible Church, which recently withdrew a plan to demolish a residential home it owned in the area to make way for a parking lot.

Illinois house proposes new pension reforms

When Louise Kuhny received a courtesy letter from the city stating the demolition of a house just beyond her backyard was to take place within 45 days, she was irate. “This would negatively impact the historic and residential nature of the community that everyone is committed to,” she said. “People have put a lot of money into their houses in the area where they thought the preservation was going to remain intact.” Kuhny, a long time resident of west Urbana, said she and her neighbors should “enjoy what we expected when we bought out homes, to live in an area where historic preservation is taken seriously and is valued.”

That house, located at 804 W. Michigan Ave., won’t be demolished any time soon. The Twin City Bible Church application to demolish the house was approved by the city, but the church withdrew the proposal on Wednesday after meeting with concerned neighbors like Kuhny last week. According to a plan put together by the church, the demolition of the house planned to open up space for additional parking and green space to compensate for the church’s rising membership. Shannon Caughey, senior pastor of Twin City Bible Church, said providing parking for its members has been an ongoing challenge, and the demolition was one solution. “We were surprised by the level of concern that was expressed

by our neighbors about the development for our property,” he said. Libby Tyler, city planner, said she addressed at least four calls from concerned neighbors and met personally with a few residents who lived in close proximity to the church. On Nov. 28, a special meeting was called at the City Council Chambers that included leaders of Twin City Bible Church, residents of the West Urbana Neighborhood Association and city council member Brandon Bowersox-Johnson, ward 4. The issue around the church’s parking lot stems from more than the demolition of just one house. Kuhny said the intrusion of businesses and high-density apart-

STAFF WRITER

Illinois lawmakers proposed a new plan Wednesday to correct the most underfunded pension system in the nation. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, representative and chairwoman of the House Personnel and Pensions Committee, along with State Rep. Daniel Biss, D-Evanston, and other colleagues proposed eventually raising current employee contributions by 2 percent, staving off retirement for younger employees and limiting cost-of-living adjustments. According to the bill the sponsors submitted, those aged 46 and older will not see a change in their retirement age, but all other employees may see their retirement age increase somewhere from one to five years. The bill will also reduce cost of living increases and shift more teacher pensions costs to school districts. “We need to do something, and we need to do something sooner rather than later,” said State Rep. Dave Harris, R-Arlington Heights, and sponsor of House Bill 6258. “Our state is being ruined fi nancially by our increasing pension obligations.” Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon said she feels this

The Clybourne may be set to join Firehaus Restaurant and Bar, Murphy’s Pub and Legends Bar & Grill in offering video gambling machines to customers, despite prior resistance from some members of the University community. The Illinois Gaming Board reported Monday that 23 Champaign County locations hold licenses and 48 other locations have applications pending, including The Clybourne. Bar owners could not be reached for comment. The law restricts customers to betting only up to $2 in games, such as poker and blackjack, and allows each player the potential of winning up to $500 in a single try. Game manufacturers and the business receive about 70 percent of profits, the state receives 25 percent, and municipal governments receive 5 percent. “It’s a high payback rate, and it’s designed for the entertainment value,” said Tom Fiedler, owner of Melody Gaming, the company that provides machines to Legends, Murphy’s and Firehaus. “Obviously everybody wants to win something, but it’s not there like

PENSION FROM PAGE 1A

AUDREY MCAVOY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ray Emory discusses his work pushing to change grave markers for unknown Pearl Harbor dead and identifying the remains of unknowns at his home in Honolulu on Nov. 21. The Navy and National Park Service will honor Emory on Dec. 7 for his determination to have Pearl Harbor remembered, and remembered accurately.

Pearl Harbor victims identified BY AUDREY MCAVOY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU — Ray Emory could not accept that more than one quarter of the 2,400 Americans who died at Pearl Harbor were buried, unidentified, in a volcanic crater. And so he set out to restore names to the dead. Emory, a survivor of the attack, doggedly scoured decades-old documents to piece together who was who. He pushed, and sometimes badgered, the government into relabeling more than 300 gravestones with the ship names of the deceased. And he lobbied for forensic scientists to exhume the skeletons of those who might be identified. On Friday, the 71-year anniversary of the Japanese attack, the Navy and National Park Ser-

Michigan Ave. lies on the single-family home side, which means the church would have to also acquire another permit to build a parking lot. “Its better to have backyards to backyards as opposed to a big building facing a resi-

And I think it was all for the better,” said National Park Service historian Daniel Martinez. “It made us rethink things. It wasn’t viewed by me as personal, but a reminder of how you need to sharpen your pencil when you recall these events and the people and what’s important.” Emory fi rst learned of the unknown graves more than 20 years ago when he visited the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific shortly before the 50th anniversary of the attack. The grounds foreman told him dential area,” said alderman Charlie Smyth, ward 1. “It’s a better transition for the neighborhood.” Lincoln Avenue, which separates campus with the rest of Urbana, has brought much more than just church traffic to the area. Many apartment complexes, fraternities and sororities also disrupts the “neighborhood rhythm,” Smyth said. He said he’s concerned the division between campustown and residential Urbana is being blurred by the expansion of apartment complexes and Greek houses. “(The problem has) gone away for the moment, but we still have this issue,” he said. “What happened refl ects the change in attitudes of the neighborhood in trying to preserve houses.”

the Pearl Harbor dead were scattered around the veterans’ graveyard in a volcanic crater called Punchbowl after its resemblance to the serving dish. Emory got a clipboard and walked along row after row of fl at granite markers, making notes of any listing death around Dec. 7, 1941. He got ahold of the Navy’s burial records from archives in Washington and determined which ships the dead in each grave were from. He wrote the government asking why the markers didn’t note ship names and asked them to change it. “They politely told me to go you-know-where,” Emory told The Associated Press in an interview at his Honolulu home, where he keeps a “war room” packed with documents, charts and maps. Military and veterans

policy called for changing grave markers only if remains are identified, an inscription is mistaken or a marker is damaged. Emory appealed to the late Patsy Mink, a Hawaii congresswoman who inserted a provision in an appropriations bill requiring Veterans Affairs to include “USS Arizona” on gravestones of unknowns from that battleship. Today, unknowns from other vessels like the USS Oklahoma and USS West Virginia, also have new markers. John Lewis, a retired Navy captain who worked with Emory while assigned to the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command between 2001 and 2004, said the command is fortunate someone like Emory has the time and initiative to painstakingly connect the dots on the unknowns.

Nazi fights deportation BY MATTHEW BARAKAT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — A former Nazi concentration camp guard who has lived quietly in western Pennsylvania for more than 50 years took his fight against deportation to the nation’s highest immigration court Thursday, arguing that he shouldn’t be punished because he served in Hitler’s army against his will. The Board of Immigration Appeals in Falls Church heard the appeal from 88-year-old Anton Geiser of Sharon, Pa., who acknowledges serving in the Nazi SS as a guard in the Sachsenhausen and Buchenwald concentration camps. A federal judge ordered him deported in 2010. But his lawyer argued that the court should have considered that

Geiser was forced to join the SS against his will as a 17-year-old. Government lawyers argued to uphold the deportation. They said federal law places former Nazis in a harsher immigration category, and no exceptions should be made because of compulsory service. Geiser, who was recently hospitalized, did not attend Thursday’s hearing. He came to the U.S. in 1956 and was naturalized in 1962. He lived in Sharon, about 75 miles north of Pittsburgh, where he worked in a steel mill for decades and raised five children. Geiser says he was forced to join the SS in 1942, and that he never killed anyone, though tens of thousands are believed to have died at Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen.

step closer toward pension reform is very important. “Without action, the strain pension payments place on our budget will crowd out funding for other priorities like education, public safety and health care,” Simon said in a press release Wednesday. Pension payments are creating this strain because only 45 percent of the state’s five pension agreements, including the State Universities Retirement System that manages the pensions for University employees, are currently funded, leaving about $96 billion in liability. Gov. Pat Quinn, speaking in April, proposed a plan that he said would fully fund pensions by 2042. Speaking on campus Thursday, he said he was confident there would be a bipartisan majority for pension reform by the time new legislators are sworn in on Jan. 9. “I think it’s very helpful for the public to have a bipartisan showing of support for pension reform,” he said. “We have 34 days until Jan. 9, and we really have to use this opportunity after the election — so politics is kind of behind us of the Election of 2012 — (to) get everybody to work for the future of Illinois, for the common good.” Michael Zalewski, D-Summit, said the proposed bill balances the needs of the state’s fi nances with the needs of public employees after retirement. “What’s perhaps different about (House Bill) 6258 is that it’s an organic effort by a bipartisan group of legislators to address the pension crisis in a balanced way that protects the retirements of public sector workers,” he said.

GAMBLING FROM PAGE 1A a big casino where people can win a jackpot.” In the time that its machines were opened in October, the IGB reported that the machines at Legends took in $23,440 from customers, and customers cashed out $22,893 . The funds for the month of November are set to be released in the next few days. The Champaign City Council voted 7-2 to allow video gambling in the community last May. “Honestly, in these times we are never going to discount consideration of any new revenue sources,” Champaign Mayor Don Gerard said. Gerard said that although he was aware some members of the community would be against video gambling, the council focused on trusting individuals to be responsible players when making the decision to allow the machines. “This council is very much in the mind of putting personal responsibility on individuals, trusting people to use their best judgment, trusting businesses,” Gerard said. Underage gambling may also be a cause for concern as gamblers must be 21 to play but only 19 to enter the bars. However, both Gerard and Fiedler said they are not worried about the risks of underage gambling. “In this country, when you’re 18 years old, you are technically an adult,” Gerard said. “You can enlist in the Army and so forth, so I think it just comes down to personal responsibility as well as the responsibility exhibited by the owners of the businesses.” At Legends, Murphy’s and Fire-

To raise greater awareness of this crisis, Quinn launched the Internet campaign “Thanks in Advance” on Nov. 18. The General Assembly discussed pension reform at the veto session held Nov. 27-29, but further discussion will have to take place when the assembly reconvenes Jan. 3-8. Newly elected representative, comprising a Democratic supermajority, will be sworn in Jan. 9. “We have supported other reform legislation and would definitely consider other good ideas moving forward,” Nekritz said in a press release Wednesday. “But we must continue to push this issue forward and not let excuses get in the way of progress.” This new pension plan would affect SURS and therefore University staff. The Institute of Government and Public Affairs proposed a new retirement system on Feb. 9 to reduce state government’s contributions into the University pension system. These payments are supplemented by worker and University contributions. Currently, the University estimates its pension payments for the upcoming fiscal year to be $1,020 million, an increase of $227 million from the previous year. “SURS employees, depending on their age and salary, might see a slight increase in their pension contribution and increase in their retirement age,” Zalewski said. “The University of Illinois stands to benefit if this legislation passes. If we gain control of our mounting pension debt, we can begin to address serious funding shortages that have left our universities without adequate resources.”

Ilya Gurevic contributed to this report. Chrissy can be reached at capawlo2@ dailyillini.com. haus, the gambling area is surrounded by signs that remind customers that they must be at least 21 to use the machines. “I don’t see it being an issue,” he said. “It’s been very strict, (and we’re) very adamant (that) you can see the signage. I wouldn’t put it in a location that had a high volume of under-21 in it without strict controls.” After the Video Gaming Act passed in 2009, the Illinois Student Senate passed a resolution banning the machines on campus. Many senate members thought the machines would have a negative impact on the student community, according to the minutes from a December 2009 senate meeting. John Kindt, senior editor of the U.S. International Gambling Report and emeritus professor in Business, said he urged the Champaign City Council to ban the gaming terminals at its May meeting. He said he thinks the addition of video gambling machines to the University community will be destructive to the well-being of students, and many students may become addicted. “You can call these tuition grabbers,” Kindt said. “These machines grab tuition, and parents are going to be quite disturbed once they realize that these are in the backyard of the University.” Debbie Liu, graduate student, said that although she doesn’t necessarily think having the machines is the best idea for a college campus, she is looking forward to playing the games. “I think it would be something fun to do once or twice,” Liu said. “I thought it was cool to have it at a bar that we frequent all of the time.”

Michigan Legislature votes to limit unions BY JEFF KAROUB AND JOHN FLESHER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LANSING, Mich. — Republicans rushed right-to-work legislation through the Michigan Legislature Thursday, drawing raucous protests from hundreds of union supporters, some of whom were pepper-sprayed by police when they tried to storm the Senate chamber. With six-vote margins in both chambers, the House and Senate approved measures prohibiting private unions from requiring that nonunion employees pay fees. Democrats denounced it as an attack on worker rights, but the GOP sponsor insisted it would boost the economy and jobs. Separate legislation dealing with public-sector unions was expected to come later. Because of rules requiring a five-day delay between votes in the two chambers on the same legislation, final enactment appears unlikely until next week. Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, who previously had said repeatedly that right-to-work was “not on my agenda,” told reporters Thursday he would sign the measures. A victory in Michigan would give the right-to-work movement its strongest foothold yet in the Rust Belt region, where organized labor already has suffered several body blows. Republicans in Indiana and Wisconsin recently pushed through legislation curbing union rights, sparking massive protests. Even before the Michigan bills

surfaced, protesters streamed inside the Capitol preparing for what appeared inevitable after Snyder, House Speaker Jase Bolger and Senate Minority Leader Randy Richardville announced at a news conference they were putting the issue on a fast track. “This is all about taking care of the hard-working workers in Michigan, being pro-worker and giving them freedom to make choices,” Snyder said. “The goal isn’t to divide Michigan, it is to bring Michigan together,” Snyder said. But Democrats said the legislation — and Republicans’ tactics — would poison the state’s political atmosphere. Lt. Gov. Brian Calley repeatedly gaveled for order during the Senate debate as Democrats attacked the legislation to applause from protesters in the galley. At one point, a man shouted, “Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler! That’s what you people are.” He was quickly escorted out. Another later yelled, “We will remember in November.” Eight people were arrested for resisting and obstructing when they tried to push past two troopers guarding the Senate door, state police Inspector Gene Adamczyk said. Protesters waved placards and chanted slogans such as “Union buster” and “Right-to-work has got to go.” Adamczyk said the troopers used pepper spray after the people refused to obey orders to stop.

Union workers hold up a signs during a rally outside the Capitol in Lansing, Mich., on Thursday as Senate Republicans introduced right-to-work legislation in the waning days of the legislative session. The Capitol, which was temporarily closed because of safety concerns, reopened Thursday afternoon, sending hundreds of protesters streaming back inside with chants of, “Whose house? Our house!” Adamczyk said a judge ordered the building reopened.

The decision to push forward in the waning days of the Legislature’s lame-duck session infuriated outnumbered Democrats, who resorted to parliamentary maneuvers to slow action but were powerless to block the bills. House Democrats did walk out

briefly Thursday in protest of the Capitol being closed. Adamczyk estimated that about 2,500 visitors were inside the Capitol, where their shouts reverberated off stone halls and frequently could be heard inside the ornate chambers.

After repeatedly insisting during his first two years in office that right-to-work was not on his agenda, Snyder reversed course Thursday, a month after voters defeated a ballot initiative that would have barred such measures under the state constitution.

Costas was right to speak out

Study abroad promises worthwhile experiences

EDITORIAL CARTOON VERONICA PHAM THE DAILY ILLINI

TA’LES LOVE Opinions columnist

KATE CULLEN

ootball — one of America’s favorite sports — suffered a terrible tragedy this weekend, yet who are people focusing on? You’d be wrong if you thought people were outraged about this country’s domestic violence culture or current gun laws. Their focus is Bob Costas. This past Saturday, Kansas City Chief Linebacker Jovan Belcher murdered his 22-year-old girlfriend Kasandra Perkins. He then traveled to the Chiefs training facility, where he committed suicide in front of the team’s head coach and general manager. In wake of these terrible events, the Chiefs still decided to play their upcoming game. During the halftime discussion on “Sunday Night Football,” NBC sports commentator Bob Costas used his platform to express his discontent with American gun culture and criticized America’s obsession with football. He quoted former Kansas City columnist and writer for Foxsports. com: “Football is our God. Its exaggerated value in our society has never been more evident than Saturday morning in my adopted hometown. There’s just no way this game should be played today.” And he was right. In true respect of the family and football fans everywhere, the Chiefs should have canceled the game. And if at least not for Belcher or Perkins, their 3-month-old daughter should have been taken into account. The NFL should have stepped in immediately and canceled this game to show that they truly value their players and not the money their players generate. This should have been a time where team and league officials stepped in to see how they could help the families and spread awareness about current gun laws and domestic violence. But they continued with business as usual. And since everyone wanted to mention briefly, but really ignore the incident, Bob Costas took on the responsibility. And while those statements were enough to resonate with the millions of viewers, Costas did not stop here. He continued to quote Whitlock who wrote: “Our current gun culture ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy. ... Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it.” His point? If Belcher didn’t have a gun, his girlfriend might still be alive. Many were outraged by this and called for Bob Costas’ dismissal, saying that he was completely out of line. On Tuesday he said, “My mistake is I left it open for too much miscommunication.” But the truth of the matter is that this is really not about Bob Costas or whether he should have used his platform to express his thoughts. The people criticizing him need to understand the root of the issue. The truth is that this situation does warrant conversation about gun laws and domestic violence. All too many times a bad situation turns worse because a gun is involved. This is not only seen in domestic violence issues, but with all types of crimes, especially in cities such as Chicago, where homicide rates have increased this year. Furthermore, there are many more disturbing dynamics with the Belcher tragedy. The head coach and general manager decided to play the game after personally watching one of their players commit suicide seems to be a problem in itself. It only makes me wonder what’s going on in their minds. There is also a young child involved who will never have the opportunity to know her parents. The NFL has agreed to support the daughter of Belcher and Perkins through college, but all the money the league generates will not bring her parents back. The first step in overcoming any problem is acceptance and it’s time to accept that guns are the problem.

Scaling back Civil Leadership Program a regrettable move We

were disappointed to learn of the University’s plans to scale back the Civic Leadership Program. CLP is a 2 ½ year program combining an off-campus internship, seminars with state and local leaders, and a group master’s thesis on an issue of public policy. During the internship semester, we receive a generous stipend to cover living expenses. This allows us to participate in interesting internships around the globe, even if we ordinarily wouldn’t have had the means to do so. Fellows have worked at the White House, Department of State, U.S. Congress and various other international and nonprofits. Once we return to campus, we leverage the skills and experiences gained in our internships to complete a master’s thesis. When we were informed by our program director that his appointment would be terminated and the master’s degree portion of the program would be closed, we were shocked.

In gathering more information about the closure, we learned that because of budget constraints, the political science department plans to restructure CLP into an undergraduate-only minor in leadership. We offered to support efforts to find donors to sustain the graduate program, but the department swiftly rejected our offer. Given the public nature of this institution and the large number of stakeholders who are affected by this restructuring process, we would have expected a more open and transparent review process. Instead, after our most recent meeting with the department, we were informed that it is the sole responsibility of the political science faculty to restructure this program. At this time of year, we should be working to recruit new students to join next year’s class. With little more than conceptual plans available for a watereddown minor in leadership, the prospects of bringing on a new

cohort of Civic Leadership fellows are diminishing. Furthermore, we believe that the master’s degree is a central component of the Civic Leadership Program and can’t in good faith support a plan without it. Until the department of political science and College of LAS agree to work with current and former fellows, we have no reason to trust that this is anything more than a political move. We will continue to engage the Student Senate, Academic Senate and relevant stakeholders to protect our voice in this process. In CLP’s seven years on this campus, many alumni have gone on to start successful careers in business and public service. In light of leadership issues on this campus and in the State of Illinois, CLP’s goal of developing twentyfirst century leaders is critical. LAUREN EITEN, CLP fellow and Illinois Student senator MAX ELLITHORPE, CLP fellow and Illinois Student senator

Letters to the Editor Lincoln’s ways should not be a model for political tactics Kristen Keller’s recent column, “Lincoln provides model of hands-on, compromising skills for Obama” in the Dec. 3, 2012 edition of The Daily Illini, suggesting Obama follow Lincoln’s approach to “compromise” and “hands-on” politics misses the boat completely. Lincoln and his political allies secured passage of the 13th amendment by purchasing representatives’ votes with promises of patronages. More bluntly: Lincoln used bribery, as a tool of “hands-on” political persuasion to advance his legislative agenda. Are these truly the tactics we desire of our modern-day politicians? More to the point: Passage of the 13th Amendment was not won in the halls of Congress. Passage of the 13th Amendment was the result of a prolonged and sustained effort on the part of women’s groups, religious groups, freethinkers and former slaves to change social attitudes towards slavery. Only after these shifts began did the tectonic plates of politics begin to move. When we suggest modern-day politicians follow the examples of our heroes of the past, we must first exam-

ine history with more nuance and caution. JOSHUA SHELLY, graduate student in library and information science

Consumers should be smarter about using resources Whatever you may believe regarding the status of the Earth’s environmental well-being, I think that everyone can agree that it’s growing increasingly “hip” to be environmentally conscious. Depending on the amount of money in your bank account, you may make a variety of life decisions to make you appear more “sustainably” minded. These may include, but are not limited to, buying a Prius, the highest rating and most expensive Energy Star-certified appliances, organic food products, fluorescent light bulbs and being sure to purchase the bottles of water by Aquafina, which are implied to be morally equivalent to saving baby seals because they use less plastic. Good work, everyone. In only 40 years since the push for sustainability, we now consume only 32 times the natural resources of Kenya, according to Jared Diamond, a professor at the University of California at Los Angeles who contrib-

uted an op-ed piece to The New York Time in 2008. 32 times? Seriously? And as another Christmas season comes around we will continue business as usual — driving back and forth to the grocery store 30 times to get butter you forgot, then to get the salad dressing you forgot. I’m not trying to be “holier-thanthou” here although I guess 90 percent of the people who read this will consider me so, regardless. I mean, while I don’t drink bottled water, nor wrap gifts in wrapping paper — but instead use newspaper — my consumption factor is still probably 31.9 compared to Kenya or something like that. There was once something known to ancient cultures as “virtue”. But you see, scientists, in the beginning of the 20th century, after thorough experimentation, discovered it didn’t exist... “just an illusion,” they chuckled to themselves. So that’s what I’m calling for this new year, “virtue” when it comes to resource use, and anything that we’ve managed to create another pill for... call me an old-fashioned tunic-toting Greek, but instead of buying that bottle of water with less plastic, don’t be a lazy (insert expletive). Carry a water bottle from home around with you. MICHAEL SCHAEFER, graduate student in agricultural and biological engineering

fter the flight attendant finishes informing the passengers of all of the exits on the plane, the pilot finally announces they are ready for takeoff. Your seat belt is tightly secured across your waist as the plane engine revs up and rotates toward the runway. The plane gradually accelerates forward as the wind pushes against the wings, slowly rocking it back and forth. Everything is in its upright and locked positions, including your spine, which stands as straight as a needle. The pinkness in your hands disappears as whiteness slowly creeps across your knuckles while you grasp the armrest. You feel every bump and rock the plane drives over until finally there is no more ground, there are only clouds, and you’ve ascended into the air. Your study abroad experience has officially begun. Most students will be returning to campus for the spring semester, but many will venture to foreign countries around the world to embark on a study abroad adventure. I am part of the 27 percent of University students who has the opportunity to live and study in another country for the upcoming six months. Like most, I was elated upon being accepted into the University’s study abroad program and soon committed to my travels. I spoke to many students who had studied abroad, all of whom claimed it was their best semester by far. Most of them spoke about the excitement of being able to see the world and how invigorating it was to live in a different culture. However, no one prepared me for the pain-staking anxiety that would engulf my mind and distract me in the final weeks I have left at the University. No one told me that I would begin to question my decision to go or that I would be hit with the reality of leaving so harshly. And certainly no one told me how hard it would be to say goodbye to the family I have been a part of the last two years. It’s possible that students like myself are so distracted by the fantasy of studying abroad that they neglect to think about what the reality of leaving school for a semester will mean. You think about leaving in such an abstract way that when the time comes to counting down to the departure, a wave of worries hits you like a bus hits Regina George. For me, these fears circulated around the unknown. The prospect of not knowing exactly what to expect upon landing in a foreign country or knowing how to maneuver my way around an unfamiliar city are thoughts that occupy my mind and may also occupy the minds of students about to go abroad. However, the fact I have slowly come to realize, which consoles me as I prepare for my travels, is this: There is no way to be prepared for the immense experience that is study abroad. Unless you have done it before, you can not possibly be prepared for everything studying abroad will throw at you. I can guarantee that I will get lost or commit a cultural faux pas, but the key is to be flexible, to go with the flow, to be open to any and all opportunities. Though it may be terrifying and life changing, we must embrace this wonderful time and accept that it might be difficult and unexpected. Those who study abroad have a unique exposure to the world because they get to see things that others only get to read about in books; that is something to cherish, not something to be anxious about. It will be hard to leave the familiarity of the Quad, the comfort of KAM’s sticky floors or the magnificent Chinese restaurants on Green Street. But unless the University decides to send those places off for cleaning like they did with the Alma Mater, they will assuredly still be there when you get back. It is crucial that we cope with the reality of this change sooner, rather than later, to better enjoy our time abroad. Though it may be easier to sit in a puddle of dread and spend the upcoming weeks petrified of boarding the plane, I will embrace the small uncertainties as a part of the journey. Change is inevitable, and the faster we accept that, the easier it will be to manage with the stress and anxiety that life and opportunity will certainly bring. So unclench your knuckles, sit back in your seat, take the extra bag of peanuts and fly.

AIDS Week on campus aims to raise awareness

BY YELE AJAYI STAFF WRITER

In honor of AIDS Awareness Week, the registered student organization African Cultural Association sponsored events to educate students about HIV/ AIDS. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, Illinois has the seventh highest number of AIDS cases in the nation, with 30,000 reported cases of AIDS since 1981. Out of those 30,000 about 16,500 have died. According to McKinley Health Center, there are more than 56,000 new HIV infections each year in the United States. According to Jeff Badu, ACA board member and junior in Business, ACA has been organizing AIDS Awareness Week on campus for about 12 years. “I think it’s important for people to become educated about AIDS Awareness Week because there are many facts that people are not aware of,” Badu said. “It encourages people to be careful, especially in their sexual lives.” AIDS Awareness Week, which

followed AIDS Awareness Day on Dec. 1, was observed on campus from Dec. 3-7. The events focused on explaining the symptoms of AIDS, eliminating myths about it, talking about prevention methods and sharing locations to get tested for the syndrome. “AIDS Awareness Week is crucial because kids should be informed that this disease is real, and they can get it as easily as anyone who has gotten it,” said Brittany Okossi, freshman in Business. “Because students might engage in sexual activity and that is how AIDS is most commonly spread, it is crucial for college students to be informed.” One of the largest events of the week took place Thursday night. ACA and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity hosted an open microphone night called “Confessions” to spread awareness about HIV/AIDS to students on campus. During the event, people suffering from HIV/AIDS shared their struggles through stories, poetry, skits and songs. A spoken word group per-

formed skits occasionally throughout the night. Representatives from McKinley Health Center also provided facts and tips about AIDS throughout the event. “This event is very important because it allows people to put themselves in the shoes of the person in these stories. ‘Confessions’ raises awareness on how dangerous AIDS really is,” Badu said. “It can help a person prevent some of the mistakes that the people in these stories made.” Although it might seem like the epidemic doesn’t affect students, it is important young adults know that this disease can be relevant at any age, said Sara Salmon, Sexual Health Peers vice president and senior in LAS. “AIDS is in our community, and it’s on our campus,” she said. “It’s important you get tested and McKinley offers that opportunity. It’s in your control.”

STAFF WRITER

With the help of a grant from the Dads Association, the University Police Department established a crime prevention training program called I-Watch to help University housing staff members keep students’ property safe in the fi nal weeks of the semester. Detective Rebecca Lauher of the University Police Department came up with the idea for the program in May when she joined the crime prevention unit. “I know that some other campuses are using it and have been successful,” Lauher said. “I thought that would be something that would fit in well here.” The $200 grant was used to pay for signs and booklets promoting the program. A presentation for staff members was hosted at Orchard Downs Apartments and Ashton Woods Homes. The training taught participants how to defi ne a “suspicious person” and when to call for help.

Detective Robert Murphy said it is important for people to know how to describe a suspicious person to police. “Through this program, it gives you a way to explain what’s not right,” Murphy said. “If you see someone peeking in the window ... if you see someone trying door handles to see if rooms are locked or unlocked, is that appropriate?” Last year, Murphy said a common thing was for offenders to walk through apartments and open unlocked doors in search of an easy access to burglary. If someone was inside, offenders would say they were looking for someone with a common name, such as Steve or Bob. Murphy said this has been especially popular during Unofficial and extended breaks in the semester. Rachita Rana , community aide for University Housing, went through the training when Lauher visited the Orchard Downs Apartments to deliver a presentation.

Rana said the information helped her learn how she can give back to the community. “We had a number of safety issues and some incidents like burglary and snatching, (so) I decided to participate,” Rana said. “I liked it, and I thought it was necessary for everyone to know.” Lauher said response to the program has been positive, and he advises students to report anything that seems out of place over winter break. “A lot of people like it and like seeing it happen all across campus,” she said. “Where you live is where you are used to being at. You know what occurs in that neighborhood, so if you see something that is unusual or out of place, or if it just gives you that kind of feeling that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up, then what we want is for them to call the police department.”

Ill. Sen. Kirk to return to work in Washington after stroke recovery BY SOPHIA TAREEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, who suffered a major stroke a year ago that required months of intense physical and speech rehabilitation, will return to work in Washington on Jan. 3, aides said Thursday. Kirk had indicated previously that he’d be back next month but hadn’t specified a date. His aides confi rmed the date on Thursday, saying in a brief statement that the Republican “remains on track to be back when the Senate convenes on Jan. 3rd for the 113th Congress.” His office provided no other details. Kirk’s doctors — and outside medical experts — have said that the 53-year-old has made excellent progress. His treatment included vigorous experimental therapy with longer workouts than usual for stroke victims. Kirk walked

nearly 15 miles and 145 flights of stairs over the course of nine weeks. Last month he even participated in a charity stair climb at the Willis Tower. Gripping a handrail and wearing a brace, he climbed 37 floors for a fundraiser for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, where he’s received treatment. While Kirk has not appeared publicly since the stroke, he has released a series of videos detailing his progress. They’ve shown footage of him working with therapists and climbing stairs. In one earlier this year, he said he dreamed of being able to walk up to the U.S. Senate chambers. “I’m walking again, leading to my hope to climb the 45 steps that my staff counted from the parking lot to the Senate front door, to fight for the people of Illinois,” he said. Kirk suffered a stroke on Jan. 21, which limited movement on

Learning the basics of college swimming and diving events BY J.J. WILSON

STAFF WRITER

he “whats” of swimming are no mystery. There’s a start, a race and a finish, all against a clock that determines the victor. Often, though, the general public is unaware about how collegiate swimming races are scored. If one team blows the other out of the water, the winning team is evident, but sometimes scoring can be much more technical. For swimming in a traditional dual meet, there are two types

of scoring — an individual event and a relay. Individual event scores are dependent on the swimmer’s finishing position. First place receives the highest with nine points, while second, third, fourth and fifth are given four, three, two and one, respectively. Anything below fifth does not receive any points. Relay events are slightly different. While there are only two teams, each team can have as many as four different relay teams competing in the same event, though relay events only award points to the first three finishing teams — 11 to first, four to

second and two to third. Before even beginning to think about earning points, swimmers have to train in their own, unique ways. Illinois swimming and diving head coach Sue Novitsky said the biggest challenge is the crossover, carrying strength built in the weight room and learning how to apply it in the water. “A lot of it is getting (swimmers) to realize how to use certain muscle groups and how to manipulate and move their bodies a little bit, so that their strength is a little more fluid,” Novitsky said. “There are not any dead spots.”

On the left, Illinois diver Jessica Clifford is seen in a belt practicing her diving routines, and on the right, Clifford is seen on a warm-up dive during the Orange and Blue meet on Oct. 13. On a trampoline, divers practice with the belt on to improve their technique. Swimmers require a feel for the water to have power in it. Novitsky said she always worries that additional days will be needed after taking time off just to get back into the groove of things. Once swimmers get back in the pool, though, it’s back to building up a base and forcing good habits that translate into meets. After that, it’s all pretty basic. There are four strokes that make up the swimming end of the meet: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. Each event begins in some relation to the starting blocks and all of them end with a hand touch at the wall. Swimming takes up 14 of the 16 events, making it the primary focus.

But Illinois diving coach Chris Waters said competitive diving is a different animal. Aside from sharing a pool as its arena, divers are nothing like swimmers. For an NCAA Division I school like Illinois, divers are to select six types of dives from a list of options based on a degree of difficulty. Divers then step up to the board, perform their dives before a panel of judges and are scored on three elements — the approach, the flight and the entry. Typically in dual meets, the 3-meter and 1-meter springboard competitions are the two options for divers. In larger contests, platform

Illinois and Gonzaga have had their brushes with defeat as the nonconference schedule wanes. Illinois in particular channeled some late-game theatrics to narrowly avoid losses against Hawaii and Gardner-Webb. Yet the stage is now set for two of the last 18 teams with unblemished records in college basketball when No. 13 Illinois travels to Spokane, Wash., on Saturday to face No. 10 Gonzaga. The battle to remain undefeated seems to tilt favorably toward Gonzaga, a team that Illinois head coach John Groce described as “well-rounded” with virtually no weaknesses. Among Gonzaga’s considerable strengths is its loaded frontcourt arsenal, which includes a collection of four or five forwards and centers that will pose as the most formidable Illinois has faced all season. “USC (Southern Cal) had great size, Hawaii had great size, but Gonzaga has more of them,” Groce said. “I think the depth of those guys, and what they bring to the game in the post and on the glass and defensively affecting shot percentages, is certainly the best we’ve played to this point.” The challenges that Gonzaga’s frontcourt presents were vividly on display in the final seconds of its victory over Washington State on Wednesday night.

Zags’ home-court advantage, size could trouble Illini Basketball columnist

he paths Illinois and Gonzaga have traveled this season are nearly identical. Both teams began the season unranked. Both teams dominated an early season tournament — the Maui Invitational for Illinois and the Old Spice Classic for Gonzaga — against mediocre major conference opponents. Both are 9-0, and both are now ranked among the top-15 teams in the country; the Illini at No. 13 and the Zags at No. 10. And yet, when the two teams collide Saturday in Spokane, Wash., Gonzaga will be a favorite to remain undefeated — justifiably so for two reasons. The Zags boast one of the best home-court advantages in the country, compiling a 92-7 record at the McCarthey Athletic Center since it was opened in 2004. On Monday’s episode of Illini Drive, guest caller and sports editor of the Gonzaga student paper Drew Baldassarre said students had already started camping out in tents outside the arena for Saturday’s game. This will be just the second true road game of the season for Illinois, the first having come at Hawaii, but this will be a whole different animal. The Illini haven’t won a road game against a truly elite opponent in years, with the February 2010 win at Wisconsin standing out as the last memorable road victory.

!!!!!dives are also available. On all of these, divers receive a score 0-10, which is then applied to the degree of difficulty to receive a final score. Divers training for competition have little in common with swimmers. Occasional, they can have similar core training exercises or warmup routines. But the majority of the time, there is a division line. “We’re doing anaerobic training 90

FROM PAGE 1B realistic this week. Friday’s game starts at 8:25 p.m. (Champaign time), while Saturday’s match starts at 1:30 p.m. The quick turnaround for the Illini is welcome, as it limits the time waiting around on the road. “I think it’ll be a little bit of an advantage for us,” Fabbrini said. “I think getting right back into the rink about 12 hours later will be a good thing for our guys.” Illinois will be dealing with some injuries and ailments that will shorten the bench this weekend. Center Eddie Quagliata is out until at least Friday’s game with strep throat, and defenseman Ben Burbridge is out for an extended period as he battles post-concussion syndrome. The Illini will also be without defenseman Ricky Kokoszka, who is sidelined with a broken finger after blocking a shot against Oklahoma. With a few defenders out of the lineup, Illinois will need to rely heavily on new defenseman Chad Himley, along with Turner on the backline. Turner, an Indianapolis native, will be having a homecoming this weekend with Bloomington being just over an hour away from the state capital. “I know quite a few (Indiana players),” Turner said. “Two of them I played with on my 18U team for two or three years and a couple other guys, I played with when I was about 10.”

But the home court isn’t what ultimately will likely lead to Illinois’ downfall Saturday night. The biggest (in the most literal sense of the word) advantage the Zags will have over the Illini is size. Former Zag Robert Sacre is gone, departed to the NBA to fill the Adam Morrison role of Los Angeles Lakers team cheerleader. But the hole left by his departure has been filled, and then some. Gonzaga head coach Mark Few will roll out a frontcourt lineup that utilizes the services of two 7-footers — redshirt junior Kelly Olynyk and freshman Przemek Karnowski, a 305-pound mammoth from Poland. Also at Few’s disposal is Sam Dower, a 6-foot-9, 255-pound insideoutside threat, and Elias Harris, who, at 6-foot-8, 239 pounds, is the Zags’ leading scorer (16.8 points per game) and rebounder (8.1 per game). A quick perusal of Illinois’ roster reveals a startling disparity: only one center in 6-foot-11 Nnanna Egwu, whose flirtations with foul trouble are often fast and furious, and only one player over 240 pounds, littleused forward Ibby Djimde. The Illini struggled against the frontcourts of Georgia Tech and Western Carolina the last two games, allowing 14 points to the Yellow Jackets’ Kammeon Holsey and 17 points to 6-foot4 Catamount forward Preston Ross. Western Carolina also snagged 18 offensive rebounds in a near upset bid Tuesday, despite its tallest player standing just 6-foot-8. Illinois head coach John Groce said during Thursday’s weekly teleconference that he was concerned about Gonzaga’s rebounding, but that’s probably an understatement. The Zags have outrebounded opponents

370 to 256 through nine games and will continue to dominate the glass against the Illini, which in turn, will hamper Illinois’ ability to get out in transition. The Illini perimeter players will have to channel their inner Jesus Shuttlesworth and shoot lights out to stay in the game, and while they have the ability, that’s a long shot in such raucous environment. Groce has said since the begin-

ning of the year that, at some point, his team would get punched in the mouth. The Illini took some jabs from Hawaii and Gardner-Webb but got off the mat in time to win on last-second shots. But Gonzaga throws haymakers, the types of punches meant to keep teams down for the count.

percent of the time,” Water said. There is a bright yellow trampoline inside the ARC pool which serves as training equipment frequently used by divers. “It’s applicable to us because they can safely, with the harness and the belt, perform some skills that they may not be ready to do yet on the board,” Waters said. “They can start gaining their confidence for (diving skills).” When it comes down to the actual meet, Waters said another thing that swimmers do is get hyped for a race, whereas divers are probably not going

to be helped by it. He compared divers with professional golfers, saying the reason golfers are so good is because they have that motion down so instinctually and have repeated it so many times that they can just let their brains go and let their bodies take over. If a diver is hyped, Waters said, then their brain is interfering. The reason why swimming and diving are paired together goes beyond the mutual need for a chlorinated pool. “With the overlap, the (swimmers and divers) have a common bond,” Waters said. “They have a common

friend who is going through something similar with the hours and the amount of training.” Despite the differences, junior swimmer Alyssa Toland and sophomore swimmer Alison Meng agree that each side plays its own role in the meet. “We’re one team together,” Toland said. “Obviously, it’s two different goals we’ve got going!!!!! ... but we can’t win the meet without their points, and they can’t win the meet without our points.”

phis on Saturday. The Tigers started the season 3-1 with road wins at Illinois State and Texas-Arlington but are currently on a two-game losing skid after double-digit losses to Prairie View A&M and East Tennessee State. They will be playing two games in three days, as they host Arkansas-Little Rock on Friday. The Illinois bench was held scoreless in its loss against Texas Tech, while Penn (18 points) and Amber Moore (21 points) accounted for 70 percent of Illinois’ scoring. Moore was flagrantly fouled while shooting late in the second half, and she made four consecutive free throws to help boost the team, but the game ultimately resulted in a loss for Illinois. “Those two stepped up and made shots, and everyone else on the team didn’t,” Bollant said. After playing four BCS programs in four games, Memphis will provide a break for Illinois before the Illini face Oregon on Wednesday. The Illini are 1-3 in the four-game span, during which they have allowed 73.5 points per game. In Illinois’ first four games in which the team went 3-1, the defense allowed 68.5 points per game. Bollant said defense will be a main focus in upcoming practices after the team allowed Texas Tech to shoot 65 percent from the field in the second half. The Illini were defensively sound in their last meeting with the Tigers. Illinois beat Memphis 62-54 last season at Assembly Hall. The Illini are 2-1 all-time against the Tigers, and lost in their only meeting in Memphis in 1982.

Wrestling heads to N. Iowa BY DAN BERNSTEIN STAFF WRITER

After a week off from competition, the No. 6 Illinois wrestling team heads to Cedar Falls, Iowa, to compete in the Northern Iowa Open. The Illini look to build off their strong performance at the Journeymen Duals by staying on the attack no matter who they are competing against. Senior B.J. Futrell, who recently became the new school record holder in career pins, expects the field to be competitive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really look at the competition much. No matter what singlet the guy is wearing across the mat, we want to wrestle the same way,â&#x20AC;? Futrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to dictate our pace, wrestle to our tempo and get to our attacks. We want to be the same no matter who we wrestle against.â&#x20AC;? After fi nishing 30-9 last sea-

son and sixth at the NCAA Championships, Futrell is ranked No. 3 in the nation this season, wrestling at 141. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve performed pretty well so far this seasonâ&#x20AC;? said Futrell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defi nitely a lot of room for improvement before March and this weekend is another chance to be able to do that.â&#x20AC;? Many of the open tournaments the Illini have competed in this season take on the same format as the Big Ten Tournament and the NCAA Tournament. Wrestling four or five wrestlers a day will prepare the Illini to compete come tournament time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m preparing the same as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be in March.â&#x20AC;? Futrell said. Futrell will be able to showcase his talents this weekend at The Northern Iowa Open, as other top wrestlers will be competing as well.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The competition will be good. Northern Iowa has some very good individuals, and Purdue will be there as well,â&#x20AC;? head coach Jim Heffernan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition, there will be some really strong individuals at the tournament. Because it is an open event, we will be able to wrestle the majority of our team.â&#x20AC;? The Illini are currently ranked in every weight class but two. No. 2-ranked Jesse Delgado will return as the starter at 125 pounds and is the highestranked Illini at any weight class. Heffernan is looking for his wrestlers to compete at the highest level in every competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect the same things every time our guys compete. We want them to compete hard, score points and be offensive.â&#x20AC;?
