GEO passes University’s new contract BY TYLER DAVIS STAFF WRITER
The Graduate Employees’ Organization voted Friday to ratify the new contract proposed by the University bargaining team Nov. 27. The vote passed overwhelmingly by more than 95 percent, said GEO spokeswoman Stephanie Seawell. The GEO, which has been fighting for protection of tuition waivers throughout a seven-month negotiating period, secured the waivers in the five-year contract. “Hopefully through all of that, the administration has come to the understanding that tuition waivers are very important to graduate students in order to maintain diversity and the best graduate students on campus,” Seawell said. Both the University and GEO have expressed that they are pleased that they reached an agreement after negotiating for a new contract since April. Three weeks prior, GEO members had assembled a strike committee. “We’re delighted to have reached agreement with the GEO, and we will circulate the agreement for the appropriate signatures to finalize it,” said campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler in an e-mail. Without the language on tuition waivers, Natalie Uhl, member of the GEO’s bargaining unit and graduate student, said she would not have voted to bring the then-tentative agreement to the membership. “I think that the stability of a five-year contract is really good, and knowing that tuition waivers will be secured for that amount of time is a big weight off of our shoulders,” she said. Seawell said the GEO negotiated with four pillars in mind — tuition waivers, fair and living wages, health care and access and equality. “We didn’t get everything in all the categories except in tuition waivers, but we did get some gain in every category,” she said. Uhl said she feels the GEO

made great progress in regards to access and equality during bargaining. The non-discrimination statement has now been expanded to include protection from harassment from supervisors, also including more categories of what is defined as harassment. In addition to the contract, the University came out with a side agreement in which the University administration agreed to abide by the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board’s ruling regarding violations of the previous contract. Those violations came in 2010 when the University reduced waivers for graduate students in the College of Fine and Applied Arts. The University has agreed to repay affected assistants with 7 percent interest. The GEO is now working to get a list of those members together, Seawell said. The side agreement was also ratified Friday. Uhl said there’s still a lot of work to be done on campus. She said the GEO is working
Feds order temporary LEX shutdown that the company has followed all safety regulations. “That’s what the Department of Transportation is supposed to do — to come in, identify problems that need to be corrected and have you correct those problems,” Frazier said. “That is what you call government regulation. But this is what you call government destruction, not regulation.” Frazier also owns the bus company Illini Tours, and he said that the company has not received any unsatisfactory ratings from the safety administration. He said he was confused by the results of the inspection. “It has the same drivers, the same mechanics — we can take any one of my LEX buses and use it for the Illini Tours,” he said. “But if I put the word LEX on it, I made it illegal.” Frazier said he expects to hear back from the agency by the end of the week. “It’s terribly frustrating,” he said. “They are acting like I’m some murderer out there taking students and just crashing buses into buildings.”

Lincolnland Express, more commonly known as LEX, bus company was ordered to temporarily shut down operations Friday by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The company is currently awaiting approval of a safety management plan that it created to correct violations that led the company to receive an unsatisfactory safety rating Oct. 22. The shutdown deliberation came a week after the company submitted the 600-page plan. The safety administration will have up to 30 days to decide whether the plan meets its criteria, according to a news release from FMCSA. The violations include false reporting of records, use of buses that were not periodically inspected and failure to properly maintain vehicle parts and accessories. Robert Frazier, owner of LEX, said the violations came as a result of a misunderstanding and said he feels confident

According to data from the Department of Transportation, 47 percent of inspections of LEX vehicles over the last two years have revealed violations that must be corrected before being allowed back on the road. Students have been affected by the shutdown already. For students like Alexa Loufman , a student at DePaul University, who had expected to take a LEX bus this weekend, the temporary closure became an obstacle. Loufman, who visited the University over the weekend, said she received a phone call from LEX telling her the company was halting business because of federal code. LEX told her they would refund the ride, but Loufman was still disappointed and had to arrange for her own transportation. “I wished they would have told me sooner about their business, so I could have bought another ticket from another company.”

UI researchers use rat cardiac cells to create ‘bio-bot’ technology BY AUSTIN KEATING STAFF WRITER
University researcher Rashid Bashir’s “bio-bot” only moves at a top speed that spans the width of three human hairs each second, but the part-robot, partheart-cell hybrid could move the emerging field of synthetic biology further into the future. The 7-millimeter-long robot was made using a 3-D printer out of materials similar to those in contact lenses. The biobot combines biology and engineering by having a mechanical structure that is propelled by the beating of cardiac cells from rats. Project leader Bashir, University professor of bioengineering and electrical and computer engineering, said the team’s long-term goal is to develop a multicellular structure that is capable of doing more than any individual cell can. “The eventual goal is to try to integrate multiple cell types so can we think about neurons and muscle cells and other types of cells (to) really think about building systems that start to mimic little organisms that we can fabricate,” Bashir said.

Beyond Coal supporters rally to urge University to divest in coal Beyond Coal ralliers chanted that no more coal is their goal at the Alma Mater on Friday. Members of the Beyond Coal campaign, an initiative of the registered student organization Students for Environmental Concerns, encouraged the University to cut all investments in coal industry-related companies. While the University has contended that it does not directly invest in such companies, members of the campaign like Katie Mimnaugh, graduate student in NRES, are concerned about indirect investments as monetary donations to the University’s endowment fund that are private. “The whole University system has $2.6 billion in its endowment, and we do not know how much of that is feeding the fi lthy machine that is destroying the lives of our neighbors and friends,” Mimnaugh said.

Donald Kojich, vice president for marketing and communications, said he could confi rm that there are no direct investments in the industry. “At the present time, we do not hold direct stock in coal,” said Donald Kojich, vice president for marketing and communications. “That’s not to say that we won’t in the future. There’s no policy in place that disallows direct investment in companies that support fossil fuels.”

This policy is what the Beyond Coal members, along with the Illinois Student Senate, are advocating for this year. Last Wednesday, the Illinois Student Senate passed a resolution that encouraged the University to create that policy. Tyler Rotche, Beyond Coal president and sophomore in LAS, said the next step is to introduce this at the Board of Trustees meeting in January, so all three University of Illinois campuses could

be in compliance. So far, Hampshire College and Unity College have achieved the goal of getting their schools to divest in coal. “Saying we don’t directly own stock in coal is almost like saying I’ve never killed anyone, but I’ve hired hitmen to do it for me,” said Clark Bullard, retired professor in Mechanical Science and Engineering, who spoke at

Vincent Chan, graduate student in Engineering, designed the bio-bot with Bashir. Chan wrote a manuscript for the project, which was published in the online journal Scientific Reports on Nov. 15. Chan said he and his team explored a mostly uncharted area of biological engineering — synthetic biology. “Traditionally, bioengineering is more, for example, developing medical devices doctors can use to help their patients. ... We are going in a little different direction,” Chan said. “Now we are taking biology and using it for new functions that aren’t really present in nature right now. We’re using it to kind of improve nature.” Bashir said multicellular biobots can potentially be used as mimics for organs, for drug screening and also as a way to detoxify fluids. The team is part of the National Science Foundation Science and Technology Centers’ organization and received support for the project through a $25 million grant from the foundation, Chan said.

BEYOND COAL FROM PAGE 1A Friday’s rally. At the rally, a crowd of people holding bright yellow Beyond Coal signs stood in the rain as Bullard encouraged them to confront the University about its interpretation of fiduciary responsibility. “We all know that it’s more than an economic issue. It’s a serious moral issue,” Bullard said. “The University is going to make this an issue of mon-

Because graduate assistants mainly do clerical work, the value of their tuition waiver is

ey. Your job is going to be to force them to defend publicly the morality of aiding and abetting the coal industry’s crimes against nature and crimes against future generations.” Brian Perbix, grassroots organizer for the Prairie Rivers Network, talked about some of the dangerous repercussions of using coal. “All coal mines in one form or another — whether it’s mountain top removal in Applachia or strip mining here in Illinois — it pollutes our clean water resources,” Perbix said.
After the rally, members of the Beyond Coal campaign hoisted a cardboard construction of smoke stacks on to the Alma Mater’s empty platform where it was left to make a statement. “We want to show the message that we’re willing to do what it takes to show this is what the students want,” said Felicia Speranske, secretary for Students for Environmental Concerns and junior in NRES, as she looked at the smoke stacks.
taxed in their earnings, sometimes resulting in $0 paychecks. Uhl said the GEO worked closely with the University to secure grants for graduate assistants to cover the lost pay and the $0 paychecks, “but the University can’t do that semester after semester.” “That’s devastating for anyone, but particularly for international students who aren’t allowed to get other employment outside of the University (due to their visas), it puts them in a particularly devastating situation,” Uhl said. She also said the University reclassified many graduate assistants as teaching or research
assistants, so there are now fewer students affected than in previous years. The GEO took a resolution to the American Federation of Teachers convention in July, and they passed a resolution to support a change of this tax law, but Uhl said it’s going to take some lobbying. “We’ve already been in touch with our Illinois representative and senator, so they’re aware, and we’ve been in touch with (Sen.) Dick Durbin’s office also about this situation,” Uhl said.

Urbana City Council will discuss approval for the completion of the two-mile Florida Avenue bike path, connecting downtown Urbana to campustown, at its meeting Monday. The bike path is just one of many paths that are part of the Bicycle Master Plan, Urbana’s city plan to implement safe and sustainable bike travel through a network of routes, which will take residents anywhere in the city. Alderman Dennis Roberts, Ward 5, said the Traffic Commission is working street by street to approve areas for the paths. For the paths to be implemented, the commission re-evaluated and prohibited parking in some areas. “We have been contacting the residents who live (on Florida Avenue) to inform them there will be a bike route signage along their street,” he said. “Especially where (signs) are being added, people will be facing parking restrictions along the street.” Roberts said criteria for determining where the commission will keep street parking depends the width of the street. He said lines for the bike path and parking will be painted in spring 2013.
The city is also increasing awareness efforts to inform the community that the new bike paths will be available for their use. In 2010, city staff developed a video educating the community on how to share the road with bicyclists. Since the video was broadcast on Urbana Public TV, Alderman Brandon Bowersox-Johnson, Ward 4, said the city has been putting together events to spread the awareness about the increased use of bikes in town and on campus. “In the last six or seven years there has been a ramp up of the biking community,” he said. “There is education and awareness in programs. There are now many certified biking instructors some for kids and some for adults.” Bowersox said the Florida Avenue path is a very important eastwest connection for people who travel to school or downtown to shop. City council members will also view a presentation by the Urbana Public Works department about the Windsor Road Corridor analysis. William Gray, public works director, will give a second presentation concerning two road
construction studies on Windsor Road. Although the original presentation was given at a November meeting, the council requested it be given again so absent council members would have the opportunity to ask questions. The two main objectives of the study were to investigate whether a roundabout at the corner of Race and Windsor roads would be effective and if Windsor Road could be converted into a threelane road between Philo Road and Race Street. “It is not recommended to do either of those items,” Gray said. “The main reason is there would be long delays, congestion and operation problems. During the busy times in the morning and evening cars would be waiting an unacceptable amount of time. Gray said public works is looking for the city council to accept the study results and authorize his staff to further evaluate the reconstruction of Windsor Road. “The pavement condition is failing and we are having a lot of pavement degradation,” he said. “We need to find a good course of action to address this issue.”

Pre-Sandy warnings of ‘storm of historic proportions’ were ignored BY MICHAEL GORMLEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBANY, N.Y. — More than three decades before Superstorm Sandy, a state law and a series of legislative reports began warning New York politicians to prepare for a storm of historic proportions, spelling out scenarios eerily similar to what actually happened: a towering storm surge; overwhelming flooding; swamped subway lines; widespread power outages. The Rockaway peninsula was deemed among the “most at risk.” But most of the warnings and a requirement in a 1978 law to create a regularly updated plan for the restoration of “vital services” after a storm went mostly unheeded, either because of tight budgets or the lack of political will to prepare for a hypothetical storm that may never hit. Some of the thorniest problems after Sandy, including a gasoline shortage, the lack of temporary housing and the flooding of com-
muter tunnels, ended up being dealt with largely on the fly. “I don’t know that anyone believed,” acknowledged Gov. Andrew Cuomo this past week. “We had never seen a storm like this. So it is very hard to anticipate something that you have never experienced.” Asked how well prepared state officials were for Sandy, Cuomo said, “not well enough.” It wasn’t as if the legislative actions over the years were subtle. They all had a common, emphatic theme: Act immediately before it’s too late. The 1978 executive law required a standing state Disaster Preparedness Commission to meet at least twice a year to create and update disaster plans. It mandated the state to address temporary housing needs after a disaster, create a detailed plan to restore services, maintain sewage treatment, prevent fires, assure generators “sufficient to supply” nursing homes and other health facilities, and “protect and assure
uninterrupted delivery of services, medicines, water, food, energy and fuel.” Reports in 2005, 2006 and 2010 added urgency. “It’s not a question of whether a strong hurricane will hit New York City,” the 2006 Assembly report warned. “It’s just a question of when.” A 2010 task force report to the Legislature concluded: “The combination of rising sea level, continuing climate change, and more development in high-risk areas has raised the level of New York’s vulnerability to coast storms. ... The challenge is real, and sea level rise will progress regardless of New York’s response.” Richard Brodsky, a former New York Democratic assemblyman who was chairman of the committee that created the 2006 report, credits administrations with making some improvements to the plan in recent years. “But on two issues related to Sandy — prevention and recovery — they did almost nothing,” Brodsky said.
Hundreds of same-sex couples marry in Seattle following new law BY RACHEL LA CORTE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Same-sex couples in Washington state began reciting wedding vows at events across the state Sunday, on the first day they could marry after the state’s gay marriage law took effect. About 140 couples had registered to marry at Seattle City Hall, which had set up five separate chapels to accommodate the revelers. Starting at 10 a.m., cheers and applause regularly broke out as another couple’s marriage became official. Weddings at city hall were to continue through 5 p.m. Mayor Mike McGinn, who greeted couples at they arrived, called it a “great day, a joyous day.” “It’s really wonderful,” he said. “A new civil right is going to be
recognized in this great civil institution.” Keith Bacon and Corianton Hale, of Seattle, who celebrated their six-year anniversary the night before, hugged and kissed to loud cheers and camera flashes as they took their vows before one of the 16 local judges who volunteered to officiate the weddings on Sunday. “We’re totally thrilled,” Bacon said. The couple had done a commitment ceremony in August but said this day was particularly special. “We had looked at this as maybe a day we would sign a piece of paper and seal the deal, and instead we’re having this huge party being thrown in our honor,” Bacon said. “It’s just mind-blowing.” Nancy Monahan, 57, a retired petty office with the Coast Guard,
waited outside before the weddings began with her partner of 14 years, Deb Needham, 48. Monahan was wearing her uniform, and Needham was wearing an ivory dress and jacket. They said they wanted to join the large wedding event at city hall because of the significance of the day. “It’s not very private, but very historic,” Needham said, to which Monahan added, “And very awesome.” Some courthouses, including in King and Thurston Counties, opened right at midnight, and started marrying couples. Private weddings are expected to take place across the state, as well as some other public events, including the marriage of two couples after the end of the first act of a Seattle Men’s Chorus performance at Benaroya Hall in Seattle.

AP tests offer means to assess, motivate pupils
SARAH GAVIN THE DAILY ILLINI
Editorial AP Stylebook’s stance on the word ‘homophobia’ commendable but a losing battle
JOSEPH VANDEHEY Opinions columnist
As
tising that appeals to the human sex drive, but for some reason, Suburban Express makes me want to put on more clothes. As of right now, it’s looking like Suburban will be the reigning champion of the bus services. And all can go well if Suburban doesn’t try to be a monopoly and instead drives its way into our hearts fair and square. First of all, they need to provide more for students. Instead of just cashing in on LEX’s failures and lazily posting a link on the homepage, they need to advertise — and deliver — more buses and more times for students to go home. Since we lost a whole bus service, they will win our favor if they somehow add to the negative 30 buses and 34 drivers that we have now. They also need to stop negatively slamming other bus services. It worked for LEX because LEX did not have it together. But besides the fact that the Greyhound going to the suburbs isn’t really cheap or time efficient, and Peoria doesn’t have too many travel time options, there isn’t much scandal. LEX is dead, and Suburban lives on. I just hope this is a win-win situation for students and doesn’t cause us more problems in the near future.
cynical as I can be about the media, the sight of even a semiserious debate over education reform does lift my spirits. Recently “The Atlantic” and NPR sparred over the benefits of Advanced Placement testing. As with most debates on education, this one focused on the students. Does AP testing enhance student options? Does it improve the quality of education they receive? Do its merits warrant the cost? And so on. I myself could practically be a poster child for the benefits of AP testing: Thanks to the credits I earned, I was able to shave a year off my degree, with all the reduced costs that it entails. But with each passing semester I become less of a student, and more of an instructor. I spent this past weekend writing up what may well be the last homework assignment I ever do. So I could not help but read these debates while wondering what AP testing means for me as a teacher. Education is not a zero-sum game, after all. Benefits for students do not have to come at the expense of teachers. So — if you will pardon my ego for a moment — what do I and my fellow teachers get out of AP testing now? At the high school level, AP testing provides students with a positive external motivation. They see the benefits that await them in college — the opportunity to skip classes and get college credit not normally awarded for good grades; they can choose to take the AP course and work toward a high score on the test. Even better, there is no real penalty for not doing well (outside of being out a few dollars for the test itself). AP testing is all carrot and no stick. This matters because motivated students, especially those who are motivated to get a positive not just to avoid a negative, make some of the best students a teacher can have. They really do ask great questions. And because they already want to understand the material, their minds are primed and ready to learn. All that book-learning, as it were, has a better reason to stick. Teaching students who do not want to learn or who do not even want to be in the classroom is one of the hardest (and most depressing) things a teacher can do. It takes a great deal more effort and repetition to keep them following the lecture. But having motivated students is a benefit for instructors currently teaching AP courses. What about colleges themselves, after the AP tests have been taken? What benefit do we see? That benefit comes from sorting. By sorting, I mean how we determine which students should go in which classes. When you are done with this article, dear reader, I encourage you to visit YouTube and watch the animated RSA talk on “Changing Education Paradigms.” The speaker Sir Ken Robinson makes a comparison between standard educational systems and factory lines, wondering why we treat elementary school students as though their most important feature is their “date of manufacture.” Age is just one way of sorting students; we also have preferred method of study, field of study, example-driven versus theoretical, those who prefer group work over independent study and vice-versa, and — what AP tests tell us — general aptitude in a field. The importance of sorting is best felt in its absence. Have you ever sat in a large lecture hall packed with hundreds of students and felt as though the day’s topic was whizzing right over your head, even as half the class was nodding in understanding? Likely the instructor was trying to appeal to a particular demographic of students. He may have caught them and missed the rest. When sorting is done particularly poorly, instructors are forced to either make their classes so generic that everyone gets some paltry, minimal amount of engagement, or else fall into the miss-half-theclass-half-the-time category mentioned above. Figuring out the best method can be a true nightmare for instructors. I have heard exasperated hour-long debates that focused solely on how to handle those students who never even show up to lecture. Being able to handle the multitude of students who do show up to class is one thing that separates great teachers from the merely good. The AP tests and their scoring mechanism give us a great way to sort students by their skill in a given area. Those who got a 5 can move on to more difficult material. Those who got a 3 might retake an accelerated version of the course: They have seen the material once and just need to brush up on it some more. Since the AP tests are standardized, there is no ambiguity as to what a given score means, unlike typical transcript grades. I can look at a student’s score in Alaska and know that it means the same thing as a student’s score in Florida. This makes teaching a far less daunting task, since it allows teachers to tailor the class directly to the students’ skill. And that is the sort of good-for-teachers educational system I can really get behind.

T
he definition of homophobia is changing. The term is used in everyday language to mean that someone feels uncomfortable around gay people, hates gay people or is terrified of gay people. The editors of the “Associated Press Stylebook,” however, want to narrow down the definition and do away with the word completely in newsprint. They explained, “Phobia means irrational, uncontrollable fear, often a form of mental illness.” But what homophobia has come to represent in daily language is not a mental illness. They continue that, “In terms like homophobia, it’s often speculation. The reasons for anti-gay feelings or actions may not be apparent. Specifics are better than vague characterizations of a person’s general feelings about something.” According to Slate, “homophobia” was coined in the 1960s after some psychologists noticed that their colleagues’ anti-gay stances and behavior went beyond anything rational or reasonable. “They had no argument, just repugnance,” said George Weinberg, a clinical psychologist who popularized the term, according to Slate. “They felt this way even about their own children. I realized this thing is deeply emotional and is based on fear.” So even though the root of the term stems from fear, over time, “homophobia” has evolved beyond Weinberg’s original definition. It’s often used in political contexts to attack social conservatives. And the word definitely gets thrown around more than it ought to be. But that doesn’t mean we should just outright ban the word. Instead, we should carefully define the word and make sure we don’t use it in inappropriate contexts. “Homophobia” can be used to mean an irrational fear of homosexuals that borders on mental illness — and several anti-gay protesters seem to fit that criteria — but it has also been adopted into the popular vernacular as a cultural and political term. Oddly, the editors seem to take umbrage with the misuse of the suffix “-phobia,” not the word “homophobia” itself. The fact that the word can creep into and corrupt otherwise objective news doesn’t seem to be as big of a problem. “The stylebook editors are quite right to say that it is not a word to be used casually, though it sometimes has been,” wrote John McIntyre, an editor at the Baltimore Sun, on his blog. “In the same way, ‘racism’ and ‘misogyny’ got thrown around a good bit in the mercifully concluded presidential campaign. But to say that you should not casually call someone homophobic or racist or misogynistic is not quite the same thing as saying that you can’t talk about homophobia or racism or misogyny, especially when ample evidence is provided.” The stylebook editors are fighting a battle they can’t win. The English language isn’t ruled by a committee. Homophobia — the word and the state it describes — is here to stay so is its culturally defined definition. The effort to curb the definition is, however, respectable.
Don’t believe the latest apocalypse prediction: The world is not ending KIRSTEN KELLER Opinions columnist
As
the Mayan calendar ends in a mere 11 days, surely predicting the apocalypse, it makes me wonder about human’s obsession with the end of the world. The Dec. 21 doomsday is not the first apocalypse prediction that has been brought to the world’s attention. Harold Camping, former Christian radio host of Family Radio, led thousands of people to believe May 21, 2011, and later Oct. 21, 2011, would be the day when Christians would make their way to heaven, while sinners would stay on earth and suffer various natural disasters until the earth literally burned up. Family Radio, based out of Oakland, Calif., spent millions of dollars on billboards and messages on RVs that spread the word about the end of the world. According to ABC News, the radio station caused people to “drain their personal savings” to warn people about their doom. Surely that amount of money was not spent based solely upon an inkling that the world may end. Camping and his cohorts were sure. We look to everything to try and predict when our days on earth
will cease. There’s the Bible, which Camping’s predictions were based upon, technology and the inventions of ancient civilizations. Is it the fascination of what will come after us? The dinosaurs’ plight millions of years ago eventually were only a step in the events that led to our existence. Will we end in a way similar to the dinosaurs, with an asteroid as our impending doom? And what will be left on earth to evolve into the next form of life? Or are we bent so much on the meaning of life that we cannot help to think it is an insignificant thing that will one day end as fast as it started? Only when I was younger did I believe the prediction of the end of the world based on the Mayan calendar had some truth to it. Yet, the premise for the Dec. 21 apocalypse is perplexing. That is to say, I do not understand how throughout the span of my life I have consistently been reminded of this doomsday, which has essentially zero basis in fact. The Mayan’s Long Count calendar is based on 13 baktuns, periods of approximately 394 years. The 13th baktun, a number sacred for the Mayans, ends on Dec. 21. on the Gregorian calendar. Obviously this is proficient grounds for doomsday. Perhaps since the Mayans were advanced in math and astronomy
for their time (approximately 300 to 900 A.D.) they would have some reason for ending their calendar besides the fact that it’s difficult to make a calendar last forever. Certain people will stack up on supplies Dec. 20 and spend the next day in nervous anticipation of the doom they have convinced themselves will surely come. But just as the Y2K scare left the technological world scar-free, we will all wake up on Dec. 22 just as we have every other day of our lives. Soon there will be some other doomsday prediction that will pop up and start this cycle again. Perhaps the person who crafts the Gregorian calendar quits and makes no more — that would surely signal the end. With the next doomsday idea, more apocalyptic movies like “2012” will be released, and we will still wonder how our ultimate fate will come. But really, there is no sense wasting time worrying about doomsday or constantly using “YOLO” to justify your crazy actions. Live your life as if you have all the time in the world. After all, the sun doesn’t burn out for another few billion years. We’ve got a lot to make of our lives and a long time to do it. So kiss the Mayan calendar goodbye and keep on livin’.

Now that LEX is gone, Suburban Express needs to step up transportation services TOLU TAIWO Opinions columnist
L
EX is dead. Long live Suburban Express. That’s right: Our resident horror-story bus service is officially gone. Last Friday, Lincolnland Express was ordered to “shut down its operation” because of its failure to address the “unsatisfactory” rating given by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on Oct. 23. Regardless of the company being shut down permanently, our not-so-friendly neighborhood transportation service is in trouble. I can’t say that I wept furiously when I heard the news. And I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who didn’t feel a sense of impending sorrow. Over the past four years that I’ve been at the University, LEX committed a myriad of transgressions, including false recordreporting, slow bus repairs and generally being a pain in the butt. Whenever I’ve taken LEX, I’ve been fine (sans the time it got me home 15 minutes late for dinner), but I’m in the small minority of my friends, who have endured brokendown buses and last-minute canceled trips. My concern isn’t that LEX is gone and that people will miss its services. My concern is that now the only bus services that will get us suburban kids home is Peoria Charter — and Suburban Express. Let’s face it: Suburban Express has been passing. They’ve been
passing out anti-LEX materials and Suburban Express coupons to students waiting for LEX. Until recently, they’ve had a wall of shame on their website pointing at all of LEX’s failures. And even now that LEX is gone, they still pay homage on their site: They announce that LEX is gone via their “So Long, LEX” link. I’m happy for them, I guess. I’m also worried that they will turn this into a monopoly, continuing to advertise themselves as the best service to the suburbs, despite LEX’s discontinuation. I don’t want them to use their advertising tricks to bad-mouth Peoria or other transportation companies in the area. Because, while I’m positive they did not directly shut down LEX (Lincolnland Express did it to itself), I’m also positive that Suburban’s negative marketing did not help them in students’ eyes, even before Oct. 23. Suburban Express is pretty reliable, but it’s not perfect. It’s no more expensive than the other services, and it is not without its share of mishaps. In fact, the first time I had to use LEX, it was because Suburban Express kicked me off a bus with no room for me the day of my trip home. Plus, I don’t know how I feel about a company that calls itself the “Sexpress” and tells me to use their servicees when I need to “get some” in my hometown. I’m all for appropriate and tantalizing adver-
Over the past four years that I’ve been at the University, LEX committed a myriad of transgressions.

Pearl Harbor honors survivors from attack BY AUDREY MCAVOY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii — As crew members lined the edge of the Navy guided-missile destroyer, the ship’s whistle sounded. It was 7:55 a.m., the exact time the Japanese began bombing Pearl Harbor 71 years earlier. Friday’s moment of silence was part of the commemoration that drew some 2,000 people to Pearl Harbor — and many more to events around the country — to mark the anniversary of the surprise attack that killed thousands of people and launched the United States into World War II. Among them were about 30 survivors, many using walkers and canes. Edwin Schuler, of San Jose, Calif., said he remembered going up to the bridge of his ship, the USS Phoenix, to read a book on a bright, sunny Sunday morning in 1941 when he saw planes dropping bombs. “I thought: ‘Whoa, they’re using big practice bombs.’ I didn’t know,� said Schuler, 91. Schuler said he’s returned for the annual ceremony about 30 times because it’s important to spread the message of remembering Pearl Harbor. Ewalt Shatz, 89, said returning to Pearl Harbor “keeps the spirit going, the remembering of what can happen.�
Shatz, who lives in Riverside, Calif., was on board the USS Patterson. His more experienced shipmates were down below putting a boiler back together so Shatz found himself manning a 50-caliber machine gun for the first time. The Navy credited him with shooting a Japanese plane. “That was some good shooting,� said U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Cecil Haney who recounted Shatz’ experience in the keynote address. “Thank you for your courage and tenacity — our nation is truly grateful.� The start of the moment of silence was sounded by the USS Michael Murphy, a recently christened ship named after a Pearl Harbor-based Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan. The guided-missile destroyer floated in the harbor where the USS Arizona and USS Utah sank in the attack and still lie. Hawaii Air National Guard F-22 fighter jets flew overhead in a special “missing man� formation to break the silence. “Let us remember that this is where it all began. Let us remember that the arc of history was bent at this place 71 years ago today and a generation of young men and women reached deep and rose up to lead our nation to victory,� Rhea Suh, Interior Department assistant secretary, told the crowd. “Let us remem-
ber and be forever grateful for all of their sacrifices.� The Navy and National Park Service, which is part of the Interior Department, hosted the ceremonies held in remembrance of the 2,390 service members and 49 civilians killed in the attack. Friday’s event gave special recognition to members of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, who flew noncombat missions during World War II, and to Ray Emory, a 91-year-old Pearl Harbor survivor who has pushed to identify the remains of unknown servicemen. The ceremony also included a Hawaiian blessing, songs played by the U.S. Pacific Fleet band and a rifle salute from the U.S. Marine Corps. An F-22 fighter jet used in the flyover later scraped its tail on a runway while landing about 90 minutes after the ceremony. President Barack Obama marked the day on Thursday by issuing a presidential proclamation, calling for flags to fly at half-staff on Friday and asking all Americans to observe the day of remembrance and honor military service members and veterans. “Today, we pay solemn tribute to America’s sons and daughters who made the ultimate sacrifice at Oahu,� Obama said in a statement.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DEARBORN, Mich. — More than 200 activists attended training Saturday in preparation for a protest at the Michigan Capitol, where lawmakers are putting the final touches on legislation that would allow workers to stop paying union dues. Between chants, cheers and applause, organizers warned those at the training to be prepared for insults and obstruction Tuesday in Lansing. The volunteers lined up on opposite sides of a long hall at UAW Local 600 in suburban Detroit and took turn turns portraying protesters and union critics. “Humanize the situation. Be clear with your intentions. Introduce yourself,� national labor activist Lisa Fithian, of Austin, Texas, said through a megaphone. “They’re going to do everything they can to criminalize us.� Republicans who control the Michigan Legislature passed legislation Thursday that would allow workers to opt out of paying union dues at businesses where
employees are represented by a union. The fi nal version is expected to win approval soon and be signed by Gov. Rick Snyder, also a Republican. Protests and possible civil disobedience are planned because the law would pose a major financial blow to organized labor. “We are not the violent ones,� Fithian told the crowd. “What is it that the police are going to do? What is it that the governor is going to order? ... We have to remember: The police are not our enemy in this fight. They’re doing a job. It’s our job to convince them that they should put their guns down and join the people.� Mark Coco, 27, a graduate student at Wayne State University, said he would protest in Lansing. He recently worked on a failed campaign to put collective bargaining rights in the state Constitution. “This is the first time I’ve ever been involved in this. I’m trusting that it pay dividends,� Coco said in an interview. The legislation “is a way to divide workers, divide colleagues.�
Katie Oppenheim, the head of a union local that represents 4,500 nurses at University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor, said workers whose pay and benefits are negotiated by a union should pay dues. She believes her members appreciate the fruits of collective bargaining and will keep paying. But she acknowledged “the reality that people like things for free.� The legislation has already been challenged in court by a union activist who claims the state Open Meetings Act was violated when Michigan State Police barred the doors to the Capitol on Thursday. Ari Adler, a spokesman for Republican House Speaker Jase Bolger, told the Detroit Free Press the lawsuit was “baseless and frivolous� and “more about receiving attention than getting justice.� A hearing on the lawsuit has been scheduled for Thursday, but union activist and Highland Park school board member Robert Davis told the newspaper he would request an earlier date.

Women’s basketball defeats Memphis BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER
Heading into Sunday’s game against Memphis, senior forward Karisma Penn said she felt like this season’s Illinois women’s basketball team was less dependent on her success than last year’s less-balanced edition. But it was Penn’s performance that helped propel the Illini to a 73-65 victory over Memphis. Penn, who came into the game averaging 18.9 points and 9.4 rebounds, finished with 21 points and nine rebounds. She grabbed six offensive rebounds and made it to the foul line 10 times, as she led the Illini (5-4) in scoring for the fourth time this season. Sunday’s performance put her 10th all-time in school history in career points with 1,504. While Penn led the way, the rest of the starters helped contribute in a balanced effort. Four starters scored in double figures, with Ivory Crawford scoring 17 and Amber Moore and Kersten Magrum finishing with 12 apiece. Point guard Alexis Smith was one point and one rebound away from double figures with nine each. “To come to Memphis and get a good win is important for our team and getting back in
the right direction,” head coach Matt Bollant said. “It was good to have great balance.” In practice heading into Sunday’s matchup, coaches had been stressing the team’s need to play hard defensively. The practice appeared to pay off, with the Illini holding Nicole Dickson, who came into the weekend as the nation’s No. 7 scorer, to 11 points, 10 below her average. “Kersten did a good job starting on her (Dickson) and everybody really guarded her,” Bollant said. “We did a good job of finding her and not giving her rhythm threes.” Memphis shot 38 percent overall, and only 29 percent from the 3-point line. The first half included six lead changes and four ties, but an Amber Moore 3-pointer with 2:31 remaining in the half put the Illini ahead for good. Illinois headed into the half leading 33-29, and the lead was stretched to 16 at one point before finally settling at eight points. Memphis showed a 2-3 zone a few times throughout the afternoon, but Amber Moore and Ivory Crawford forced the Tigers to abandon it for a man-to-man

Former Illini faces manslaughter charge THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING, Texas — Police charged Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Josh Brent with intoxication manslaughter Saturday after he flipped his car in a pre-dawn accident that killed teammate Jerry Brown. Both men formerly played football at Illinois. Irving police spokesman John Argumaniz said the accident happened about 2:20 a.m. Saturday in the Dallas suburb, hours before Brent was to be on a team flight to Cincinnati for the Cowboys’ game Sunday against the Bengals. Argumaniz said the 25-yearold Brown — a practice-squad linebacker who also was Brent’s teammate at the University of Illinois for three seasons — was found unresponsive at the scene and pronounced dead at a hospital. Brown died a week after Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend before killing himself in front of his coach and general manager. “We are deeply saddened by the news of this accident and the passing of Jerry Brown,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. “At this time, our hearts and prayers and deepest sympathies are with the members of Jerry’s family and all of those who knew him and loved him.” Officers conducted a field sobriety test on Brent and arrested him on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, Argumaniz said. The charge, a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison, was upgraded after Brown was pronounced dead. Argumaniz said Brent, who pleaded guilty to a drunken driving charge three years ago at Illinois, was being held without bond. Brent is named as Joshua PriceBrent in the police news release. Argumaniz said Brent missed
a 10 a.m. Saturday booking session with a judge because he was intoxicated. He did not know if Brent had an attorney. Brent was speeding when the vehicle hit a curb and flipped at least once, Argumaniz said. Police received 911 calls from motorists who saw the upsidedown vehicle but they did not immediately have any eyewitnesses to the wreck, the police spokesman said. Argumaniz said that when officers arrived at the scene on a state highway service road, Brent was dragging Brown from the vehicle, a Mercedes, which was on fire. Officers quickly put out the small blaze, he said. Argumaniz wasn’t sure if the vehicle was a car or SUV and said it wasn’t known how fast the vehicle was traveling. The road has a 45 mph limit. Before he was taken to the jail, Brent went to a hospital for a blood draw for alcohol testing and also received treatment for some minor scrapes. Argumaniz said Brent identified himself to officers as a Cowboys player. Brent was arrested in February 2009 near the Illinois campus for driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license and speeding, according to Champaign County court records. In June 2009, Brent pleaded guilty to DUI and was sentenced to 60 days in jail, two years of probation, 200 hours of community service and a fine of about $2,000. As part of his plea deal, prosecutors dropped one count of aggravated DUI/no valid driver’s license. Brent successfully completed his probation in July 2011, court records show. Brent, a nose guard, has played in all 12 games this season and has been a bigger presence on defense with starter Jay Ratliff battling injuries.

New competition format, tradition begin Illini season BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER
That’s an Illinois ... stuck dismount! Though this isn’t something Illinois sports fans have heard before, it is part of a new tradition and format Illinois men’s gymnastics head coach Justin Spring is trying to establish this season. His first announcement of the new addition to Illinois gymnastics was at Huff Hall on Sunday afternoon. A practice run was given to the Illini crowd before the start of the Orange and Blue exhibition meet, formerly known as the mixed pairs competition. A male gymnast executed a standing back tuck with a perfect stuck landing. Following the landing, Spring said into the microphone, “That’s an Illinois ...,” and Huff Hall echoed with “stuck dismount!” “I think there is a culture built into all big, popular sporting events,” Spring said. “Football, you have the first down and for basketball, the Orange Krush is crazy, and I think that volleyball has also done a great job of establishing that culture. This is just one small step in that direction of getting the audience to really bite into the event that is going on, and I think they need a little guidance because gymnastics can be a little overwhelming with what’s going on and not everyone knows all the time when to cheer and when not to cheer.” This year’s exhibition meet set the start for new traditions at Illinois. Instead of competing in pairs, the men’s and women’s teams were split into two squads — the Orange team and the Blue team. Each unit had a combination of six women and seven men, and the meet consisted of five competitive events for each of the four rotations. The biggest change was the competition’s format, as each gymnast competed head-to-head.

Illinois' Josh Wilson competes on the high bar during the Orange and Blue Exhibition at Huff Hall on Sunday. A member from each team was selected to compete on an event, and the student-athlete judges awarded points to who they thought had the better routine, with the point going toward the team total. “This format makes it a lot easier for the fans to understand,” sophomore Josh Wilson said. “I think it is a lot more interactive and not so confusing.” The meet ended in a 10-10 tie, allowing Spring to introduce a tie-breaker. Both teams were brought to the center of the floor to compete in a stick-off. The first level required gymnasts from each team to perform a standing back tuck with a stuck landing. For it to count toward the team’s total, the landing must be stuck with
no hops or steps. If the score remained tied at the end of the first level, a second tie-breaker would begin in which athletes would have to perform standing back pikes. If a third level was necessary, the athletes would then perform standing fulls, which is considered the most difficult of the three skills. But with a mistake on a landing from the Orange team, the Blue team sealed the victory on the first level of the stick-off. Illinois will compete in this format when it faces Minnesota in March and will use it as a trial run in hopes that it will be successful. “It’s one of the things that is still up in the air with the new proposed format,” said Spring, who is in talks with NCAA officials to discuss the possible
format change for men’s gymnastics. “What do we do in the event that it does go directly to a tie? With these single points, a tie is more likely than when you have all the decimal points after the original score. People really seemed to like the stick off, but we have to play it out and see what works. It seems crazy, but it is done in other sports.” This season Illinois will not have its sophomore leader, C.J. Maestas, who has been sidelined with a torn tricep. The Orange and Blue Exhibition was the first time Maestas led from the sideline, but after competing on a national stage at the Olympic trials this summer, he has a lot of experience to share

Paul leads No. 13 Illini past No. 10 Bulldogs BY ETHAN ASOFSKY SENIOR WRITER
JED CONKLIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Illinois' Brandon Paul (3) puts up a shot as his teammate Sam McLaurin (0) and Gonzaga's Elias Harris (20) and Kevin Pangos scramble for position, Saturday, in Spokane, Wash. Illinois beat Gonzaga 85-74. The Fighting Illini remain undefeated with
As time expired Saturday, Brandon Paul stared down the crowd in Gonzaga’s McCarthy Athletic Center, let loose a radiant smile and raised his hand like a phone to his right ear. The Illini had answered the call America had posed to them. Over the past week, ESPN’s Myron Medcalf and CBS’s Doug Gottlieb both made statements degrading the No. 13 Illini’s undefeated record, but Paul best summarized the week’s media circus after the team’s 85-74 win over No. 10 Gonzaga in Spokane, Wash. “Nobody really gave us a chance in this game,” the Illini senior guard said. “We love being underdogs.” Not bad for the most overrated team in the country. Then again, Vegas also wasn’t predicting Paul to drop 35 points and sink 10-of-16 from the field and 5-of-9 from downtown. Oddsmakers marked the Illini — who hadn’t beaten a ranked team on the road since Feb. 9, 2010, against then-No.11 Wisconsin — 11-point underdogs on the road. And it’s tough to blame the sports books. Before Saturday, the Bulldogs had lost just seven times at home since “The Kennel” opened nine years ago, and the place was guaran-
teed to be rowdy for a primetime, nationally televised game between two unbeatens. Over 100 tents were camped outside the stadium in Gonzaga’s “tent city” the day before the game. That energy reared its head early, when Gonzaga jumped out to a 12-3 start, powered by Wooden Award candidate Elias Harris and 7-foot center Kelly Olynyk. As expected, the two Gonzaga bigs created problems for Illinois in the post, causing center Nnanna Egwu to get in early foul trouble. The Bulldogs stretched their lead to 31-20 before the Illini made their run, slowly cutting away at the deficit until Tyler Griffey hit a jumper with less than a second remaining in the half to tie the game at 41. Paul’s 18 first-half points and superb defense, including two show-stopping transition blocks, allowed Illinois to stick with Gonzaga, a team that shot 55 percent from the field in the first half. “I kept telling everybody: `This is it. We’ve got to take this right now,’” Paul said after the game. We’re not playing well, but we’re still in this game.” Once again, Illini head coach John Groce adjusted to his team’s defensive deficiencies, switching to a 2-3 zone to compensate for forward-center Sam McLaurin’s height mismatch on Olynyk. As a result, Illinois controlled the second half by clamping down
on defense, allowing Gonzaga to shoot just 34 percent from the field. After a 3-pointer by D.J. Richardson, who finished with 11 points and six rebounds, just 1 minute, 40 seconds into the second frame, Illinois never trailed for the rest of the game. Gonzaga drew within three with 3:42 remaining, but clutch foul shooting by sophomore point guard Tracy Abrams and another big three from Paul gave the Illini a commanding lead that put the game out of reach. Abrams added 14 points and five assists against three turnovers, sophomore Joseph Bertrand scored nine points in 20 minutes and Paul finished the game 10-of-11 from the charity stripe. The Illini are now one of 14 teams that remain undefeated, and they lead the NCAA in wins, along with Minnesota, New Mexico and Wyoming, at 10-0. Last year, the Illini started with the same record before falling apart down the stretch, losing their last 12 of 14 games of the season to miss the NCAA tournament. This year, all signs point to a top-10 ranking in Monday’s updated polls and no slowing down. Don’t be surprised if Vegas starts betting on the Illini.

Two Illinois wrestlers capture titles at Northern Iowa Open BY DAN BERNSTEIN STAFF WRITER
No matter what situation he found himself in this weekend at the Northern Iowa Open, Illinois wrestler B.J. Futrell wasn’t going to be feeling any pressure to perform well. “No, there isn’t any pressure. I haven’t won anything yet,” he said. “The way I see pressure is from people that don’t know where their next meal is coming from or guys that are fighting in Iraq. I’m doing what I love at a school that I love and getting an education for free. Wrestling is what I enjoy to do.” Futrell and Pat Walker both captured titles at the Northern Iowa Open, while 10 other Illinois wrestlers finished in the top five. Futrell, a 141-pound senior, continued his early season dominance by winning all five of his matches over the weekend. In his first match, Futrell pinned Scott Moody of Iowa State in 3 minutes, 51 seconds before pinning Rylan Lubeck of Wisconsin in 5:30 in his second. He then defeated Purdue’s Nick Lawrence by a 12-5 decision and Northern Iowa’s Gunnar Wolfensperger 10-4 to reach the title match. Futrell would go on to beat Joey Lazor of Northern Iowa 8-2 to capture the 141 title.
“Just looking at the weekend in general, it was nice to win the title,” Futrell said. “But looking at my performance, I did not feel like I wrestled my best. I could have wrestled more of my style and could have dictated the matches a lot better.” Ranked third in the country at 141 pounds, Futrell has been the man to beat in many of the Illini’s early season open tournaments. After earning his second-career All-America honor last season by placing sixth at the NCAA Champinships, Futrell has stayed level-headed so far this season. Walker also captured a title as he won two of his matches by falls and two by decisions before defeating Northern Iowa’s Cody Krumwiede by an 8-0 major decision in the final. The senior out of Lombard, Ill., has five pins on the season and has won 13 matches, both career bests. “It was an awesome feeling. I feel like I did some good things, but there is still a lot to be worked on,” Walker said. “In a lot of my matches, I could have extended my lead and really could have closed the match even more by getting that final takedown or just really sealing the deal a little bit better.”
Four Illini finished second in their respective weight classes, including sophomore Jesse Delgado at 125 and senior Conrad Polz at 165. After winning his first four matches, Delgado fell to Connor Clarke of Iowa State 6-1. Polz reached the title match after recording three pins but fell to Iowa State’s Michael Moreno 3-1. Illinois’ Zane Richards (133) and Matt Nora (157) also finished second in their weight classes. Logan Arlis (133), Caleb Ervin (141), Steven Rodrigues (141) and Zac Brunson (157) placed third for the Illini, while Jeff Koepke (184) finished fourth. Illinois’ other heavyweight, Chris Lopez, rounded out the top five with a fifth-place finish. “Overall, we wrestled all right,” assistant coach Jeremy Hunter said in a news release. “The results as a team were there, but it wasn’t what we wanted. There is a lot of stuff we need to work on to get better. This helped us for the Midlands (Championships) in a few weeks. We had decent competition, but it showed us what we truly need to focus on moving forward.”
JEFF ROBERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
Indianapolis Colts' Andrew Luck (12) throws a pass Sunday in Indianapolis. More first-year quarterbacks, including Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson, are starters for their team this year than at any other time in NFL history.
NFL rookie quarterbacks prove to be untapped source of talent t the start of this NFL season, five first-year quarterbacks were slated to be their teams’ primary signalcallers. The results have been beyond what anyone could have predicted. Three of those teams, led by Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson, are all above .500 and in competition for playoff spots late in the regular season. Before this year, and even last year, rookie quarterbacks weren’t really taken seriously as contributors to a team. Rather, they were often benched behind other veterans and maybe after a couple of years, they are able to earn their chance in the starting lineup. But I think that this season, teams are reevaluating the notion that they have to wait before having a meaningful impact. This phenomenon is one that has never been seen before. Before this year, the highest number of rookies who had been handed the starting job at the beginning of a season was two. This isn’t that surprising as conventional wisdom in the NFL was that a rookie was simply not ready to be handed the reins. Carson Palmer didn’t start a game his
entire rookie campaign in 2003, despite being the top draft choice that year. When Andy Dalton got the Bengals to the playoffs last season, in my mind, the myth that rookies are ineffective or unhelpful was effectively debunked. And while Dalton was setting records late in the season, fellow rookie Cam Newton was breaking them early, often and throughout, throwing for over 1,000 yards in his first three games combined. With this display, rookies started their shift away from being benchwarmers, as Palmer was, to players that an offense can and should revolve around, such as Dalton late last season and Griffin this year. In other sports, rookies often have been used from the getgo. The legendary Larry Bird took his Boston Celtics from a 29-53 record before his arrival, to a 61-21 clip and the Eastern Conference finals while garnering All-NBA first-team honors in his first year. Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar “Big O” Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also brought immediate success to their teams, but this was more than 40 years ago. Why has the same trend taken so long to occur in football? For one, college and professional football is the most physical large-scale organized sport in America by far. At the collegiate level, it’s not uncom-
Sunday’s exibition was also light-hearted. Wilson stopped mid-routine on the parallel bars to answer a phone call from his mom, and Austin Phillips, Malcom Brown and Fred Hartville switched in and out during Brown’s floor routine. The response from Spring after the routine was, “That was Malcom Brown, I guess.” The jokes are a tradition used to relieve the stress of the gymnasts in a competitive setting. “Everyone’s funny,” Maestas said. “Everyone’s just who
they are, and we never have to change who we are. It makes me more comfortable, and I know the guys love it. The reason why we all came to this school is because of the atmosphere that we always bring into the gym and the competitions.” After winning the NCAA Championships last year, the Illini are ranked No. 1 in the preseason polls and have a reputation to live up to in the upcoming season. Illinois will now have a short break before January’s season opener.

Illini hockey snaps streak with A much-needed sweep over Hoosiers BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER
Before embarking on a twoand-a-half hour bus ride to Bloomington, Ind., the Illinois hockey team had one thing on its mind: snap the streak. Coming into Friday’s contest, the Illini had lost three straight overall and five consecutive games on Saturdays. Illinois ended both streaks this weekend by getting a much-needed sweep over Indiana, which resulted in 12 CSCHL points in the standings. “These wins were huge for us,” junior forward Jacob Matysiak said. “Not only because we finally got a sweep, but because these wins have huge implications for the league standings.” The first game between the Illini and Hoosiers turned out to be a barnburner, as both teams combined to score 12 goals, took 93 shots and racked up 61 penalty minutes. Illinois took an ear-
BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1B defense by hitting four and two 3-pointers, respectively. Illinois also defeated Memphis last season at Assembly Hall. In the game, Penn scored 26 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. The Illini headed into the game with a two-game losing streak. On Wednesday, the Illini lost in their first road game of the season at Texas Tech by a score of 75-56.Illinois had faced four consecutive BCS schools, going 1-3
ly 2-0 lead, only to see it fade as Indiana fought back to tie the game midway through the second period. The Illini would tack on two more goals to take a 4-3 lead into the third and would never look back. Illinois eventually would take a four-goal lead after Matysiak, freshman Kevin Chowaniec and senior defenseman Mike Evans scored goals. The Hoosiers cut the lead to two, but the Illini hung on for a 7-5 victory. Saturday’s showdown was marred by a broken ice resurfacer, which left the two teams playing on rough ice for the final two periods of the game. The unsmoothed ice significantly slowed down the pace of the game, leading to a much-tighter outcome, a 2-1 victory for the Illini. Matysiak scored his second goal of the weekend, and senior forward Scott Barrera netted the game-winner. The lack of a smooth ice surface allowed the Illini to play a in the stretch. In each contest against power conference schools, the Illini were outscored in the paint, but a strong effort from Penn and Magrum allowed the Illini to outscore the Tigers 34-30 in the paint. The trip to Memphis was Illinois’ last nonconference road game. The Illini will stay at Assembly Hall until a Jan. 6 matchup at Ohio State.

slower, more simplified game, Matysiak said. “We made sure not to use the ice as an excuse,” he said. “Both teams had the disadvantage. It was harder to make fancy passes and plays so we just made sure to simplify our game.” Matysiak replaced injured sophomore forward Derek Schultz, joining sophomore Mario Pacheco and senior Jonathon Sakellaropoulos on a line that “dominated” Saturday’s game. Matysiak’s goals this weekend were his first in his Illinois hockey career. “There were no chemistry issues with us,” he said of playing with a new line. “We made the game simple for ourselves, worked hard, and it worked out for us in the end. We made sure to keep grinding in the corners, keep the puck low and got it to the net.”

mon for top teams to have a plethora of veteran upperclassmen that are also bigger, stronger and faster than underclassmen, leading the team on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. This makes it difficult for younger players to come in and compete right away. Instead, they wait in the wings, often for multiple years, until spots open up on the depth chart in front of them. And then the cycle repeats itself. This same pattern can be seen at the professional level but to a lesser extent because older veterans often find it hard to compete with younger players. It takes a rare kind of athlete to have such a strong impact on a team in his first season, but that’s exactly what we’re seeing this year, at all levels. The Redskins’ offense is confusing defenses around the league with its new “Pistol” formation that was implemented to take advantage of RGIII’s unique skillset. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, who became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy this past weekend, shocked the college football world with his bravado on the field. Perhaps this year is a sign of changing times, and it will be remembered as the year of the rookie quarterback.

We lost some guys. We are injured.’ The intensity and the focus from the guys needs to be at its all-time high if we expect to be a heavily competitive team. That’s going to be the push.”

Bears drop to 8-5 after loss to Vikings Late-season losing streaks familiar to Chicago BY DAVE CAMPBELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Jay Cutler’s neck stiffened up, and the Chicago Bears couldn’t escape their early stumble at Minnesota. The playoff race is tightening around them, too. Adrian Peterson rushed for 154 yards and two fi rst-quarter touchdowns and Harrison Smith returned an interception for a score to lead the Vikings to a 21-14 victory on Sunday over the free-falling Bears, who have lost four of their last five games. “We have to make sure we close this hole up before it gets too late,” said wide receiver Devin Hester, who dropped a sure touchdown pass from Cutler when he was wide open up the middle on third-and-6 at the Minnesota 23 with about 4 ½ minutes left. Brandon Marshall, who fi nished with 10 catches for 160 yards, couldn’t snag the ball on the next play, giving the ball back
to the Vikings (7-6). That was the last throw of the afternoon for Cutler, who took a late hit to the head from Everson Griffen earlier on that drive. When the Bears (8-5) started their next possession, Jason Campbell was in at quarterback. Cutler was in obvious discomfort after the game, robotically turning his shoulders instead of his head while he stood at the podium to take questions from reporters. “We all let the team down,” Marshall said. He added: “I have to make that play. That was a momentum play. If we move the chains, the game is probably different. I’ve got to do better.” Whether it’s mounting injuries, bad tackling or an erratic passing attack, the Bears have lost their fi rst-half momentum. They host division-leading Green Bay next week then play at Arizona and Detroit to fi nish the season. Despite starting 7-1, the Bears have already
started talking about needing to win out. “That’s fi ne. We can do that. The confidence is not wavering. We’re fully confident that we can do that,” defensive end Julius Peppers said, adding: “We don’t need to do anything heroic or super-human to beat Green Bay.” If this slide has begun to feel familiar for the Bears, that’s because it is. Last season, they lost five straight games after a 7-3 start and fi nished 8-8 to miss the playoffs. Cutler went 22 for 44 for 260 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Josh Robinson got the first one after Alshon Jeffery got tangled up and slipped, returning the ball to the 5 to set up Peterson’s second score. “You know it’s going to be a hostile environment and all that. We talk a lot about starting fast. You have to do that on the road,” coach Lovie Smith said. “That opening drive really put us on our heels, and we never really recovered.”

The Vikings won 21-14. “You have to make every play count, and we didn’t,” head coach Lovie Smith said. Cutler blamed the second interception on his neck, when his deep throw to Marshall was picked off by Smith and run back 56 yards to give the Vikings a 21-7 lead. “Couldn’t really follow through with it. Got the coverage we wanted,” Cutler said, adding: “It sailed on me. It was nothing they were doing. Just they happen sometimes.” Marshall tried to take the blame for that one, too.
“That was another one of those plays I’ve got to make. When you have a hot-hand quarterback like that, you have to make the plays for him, because the more you make plays for him, the hotter he gets,” Marshall said, noting his 6-foot-5 frame. “I’ve got to go up and get it.” Now the Bears must try to fend off another December fade under Smith, and they’ll have to do it at less than full strength. Cornerback Tim Jennings was
out with an injured shoulder and linebacker Brian Urlacher, the man in the middle of the proud veteran defense, could be out for the rest of the season with a pulled hamstring. Defensive tackle Henry Melton hurt his shoulder in the fi rst half. Kicker Robbie Gould was limited by a strained left calf that he suffered in pregame warm-ups, an injury that Smith said was a concern. “You have to make every play count, and we didn’t,” Smith said.
Cowboys find win bittersweet after death of linebacker Jerry Brown BY JOE KAY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI — Numb. Grieving. Distracted. The Cowboys were all those things on Sunday, dealing with the death of one teammate and the tribulations of another. Winners, too, though they hardly felt like it. Dan Bailey kicked a 40-yard field goal as time ran out, sending the Cowboys to a 20-19 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that ended a tough afternoon with a little bit of relief and their playoff chances enhanced. Didn’t last long, though. There will be a lot more emotional days ahead in Dallas. “It’s a hard, hard situation we’re in,” quarterback Tony
Romo said. “There’s no playbook for this sort of thing in life.” The Cowboys overcame a ninepoint deficit in the closing minutes behind Romo, who held his hand over his heart during a moment of silence to honor teammate Jerry Brown before the kickoff. The linebacker died in an auto accident early Saturday. Defensive lineman Josh Brent, who was driving, was still jailed in Texas on Sunday, charged with intoxication manslaughter. The Cowboys (7-6) learned about Brown’s death on their flight to Cincinnati on Saturday. Coach Jason Garrett told his team that the best way to honor him was to play well in a game with playoff implications for both teams. One of the visitors’ metal lock-
ers at Paul Brown Stadium had a strip of white athletic tape with “53 JERRY BROWN” attached to the top, a wooden stool inside sitting upside-down. Brown’s No. 53 jersey was on the sideline during the game — defensive tackle Jason Hatcher held it up after Bailey’s kick decided it. It wasn’t much of a celebration by an emotionally spent team. “I don’t remember crying this much other than maybe the day I was born,” defensive lineman Marcus Spears said. “With Josh’s situation and Jerry being gone, you felt it.” Players couldn’t keep the tragedy out of their thoughts during the game, fi nding their minds wandering on the bench. “I rarely let my emotions get
the best of me,” fullback Lawrence Vickers said. “Today they did, but this was the place to do it.” Owner Jerry Jones described his team as grieving when it took the field. It was the second consecutive week that an NFL team was playing a day after losing a teammate. Kansas City beat Carolina 27-21 one day after linebacker Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend and then himself at the Chiefs’ practice complex. When Bailey’s kick ended it, the Cowboys had a lot of thoughts racing through their heads. “The last 24 hours has really been something I’ve never experienced,” Romo said. “It’s something I’ve never experienced, and
I think a lot of guys will tell you that. It’s just been a roller coaster of emotions. “It was a very — and still is — a very difficult thing that this football team is dealing with.” The Cowboys salvaged the game by scoring on their last two drives against the Bengals (7-6), who had won four in a row and had a chance to move into position for an AFC wild-card berth with a victory. Romo threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Dez Bryant with 6:35 to go. Anthony Spencer’s sack of Andy Dalton forced a punt, and Romo completed four passes on the drive to Bailey’s winning kick. Romo finished 25 of 43 for 268 yards with a touchdown, an interception and three sacks. DeMarco
Murray converted a third-and-5 play to extend the final drive and ended up with 53 yards on 21 carries. Newcomer Josh Brown kicked field goals of 25, 33, 25 and 52 yards for Cincinnati, which wasted an opportunity to move ahead of Pittsburgh for the second AFC wild card. “That was a tough one today,” Bengals defensive tackle Domata Peko said. “We were getting after their offense and doing a pretty good job with their running game, but they got us on their last two drives.” Dallas played a sloppy game until the closing minutes — nothing out of character there — and had a few especially bad moments.
