Jones to start ‘dream of a lifetime’

BY CLAIRE HETTINGER NEWS EDITOR

Robert J. Jones started his journey studying agriculture at a young age.

As a nine-year-old boy growing up in a sharecropper’s shack in the cotton and peanut fields of Georgia, he looked at a piece of cotton and wondered how it grew. Or, as he called it,“the green plant with the white mass that had so much value to people.”

The experience “led me to a world I never even knew existed at the time,” he said in July at his welcome reception. What followed was a distinguished career as a crop scientist. Now, he will lead one of the top agricultural universities in the world.

“This job is a dream of a lifetime.”

Jones was approved as the next chancellor of the University and will start on campus Oct. 3. He has visited campus once since he was appointed and has had quite a few meetings with people who report directly to him, said University spokesperson Robin Kaler.

When he was announced to the campus in July, Jones said he will spend the first 100 days meeting with people on campus. He will embark on “a listening and learning tour, to approach the first 100 days here,” he said. “I can warn you that you can see a lot of me in the first 100 days, as we begin the process of (learning) what are the issues, and what we must do to move this University forward.”

He said he’s come a long way from the sharecropper’s shack to lead one of the greatest universities and be in a position to help shape the future of higher education.

“We are at a critical junction in higher education,” Jones said. “We need to find a way to make my sto-

ry and other stories that are comparable accessible for everyone.”

He said he has a deep commitment to the land grant mission and he hopes to help reinvent and redefine what it means to be a public land grant university in the modern world.

“This is a place that really has quite a track record of shocking and upsetting the world through research and what is right and what we should be doing for one another,” Jones said.

“Game Changer of the Year”

Jones is the first African-American chancellor of the University. President Timothy Killeen called this appointment an “exciting and important moment in the history of the U of I.” Killeen knew Jones personally at his previous job as vice chancellor for research and president of the Research Foundation of the State University of New York of the University at Albany, also known as SUNY. Their time overlapped at SUNY and in July at the welcome reception Killeen expressed his excitement “that we were able to recruit such a leader.”

Jones is currently the president of SUNY. He began in 2013 and his positions included CEO of Albany’s three campuses. His role there included broadening the interaction with the university and the community, creating more opportunities for students to complete hands on learning and faculty research. He created the largest expansion in 50 years at the university.

The 65-year-old worked at the University of Minnesota for 34 years with 15 years of leadership roles including Senior Vice President for Academic Administration, University of Minnesota System and Vice President

A member of the board of trustees applauds for the new chancellor Robert J. Jones. and Executive Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Programs University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

Among his many national awards, Jones was named the “Game Changer of the Year” by the Albany Business review in 2015.

Jones earned his bachelor’s degree in agronomy at Fort Valley State College, a Master’s in crop physiology at the University of Georgia and his doctorate in crop physiology from the University of M issou r i , C olu mbi a .

Jones is a world-renowned researcher. He focused on research stabilizing

corn grain yields and how they interacted with environmental stresses and global climate change. Jones is a fellow of the American Society of Agronomy and the Crop Science Society of America.

Jones said he hadn’t flown over the area in awhile and forgot how beautiful the landscape is because of the section lines of corn and soybeans.

“Since there is so much corn around,” Jones jokingly said, “I am pretty sure I will soon be outstanding in my field.”

“It takes a collective.”

YANGWENTAO (RYAN) FANG THE DAILY ILLINI

Ron Lewis, student body president, said hearing Jones speak about his plan for the future of education at the University made him feel comfortable.

“It gave me a sense of confidence about where the University is going to be in the next couple of months and in the next year,” he said.

Lewis added that he’s heard many great things about the new chancellor and believes he will connect and care about the student body and its issues.

“Of course he has things to do on the administration level, but I’m pretty sure in the first 100 days he will be

listening to students just as much as administration and faculty,” Lewis said. “I’m pretty excited to see what he does next.”

President Timothy Killeen said on the chancellor search committee website that the ideal candidate will be “A role model that will redefine higher education for the 21st century.”

But for now, Jones said, “Overtime, as chancellor, you will grow to tolerate me and even like me.”

“I think you all will grow to trust me.”

6 new deans hired, UI provost search continues As students prepare to return to classes, they’ll be greeted with new faces of academic leaders for each college. Of the 16 academic units, six had turnovers in the last year. The College of Education and College of Media are currently searching for permanent deans.

BY MEGAN JONES STAFF WRITER

Kimberlee Kidwell was announced as the new dean of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences in July — she is the first woman to hold this post.

She will begin Nov. 1 and is taking over for current dean Robert Hauser, who has filled the role since 2010 and previously served as interim dean in 2009. Hauser will return as a faculty member.

Kidwell is an alumna of the University and of University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she received master’s and doctorate degrees in plant breeding and plant genetics.

She currently works at Washington State University as the executive associate dean of the College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Sciences.

She has served on the faculty since 1994.

“Professor Kidwell has excellent scholarly cre-

Cheryl Hanley-Maxwell began as the new dean of the College of Applied Health Sciences on Aug. 16. She will replace longtime dean Tanya Gallagher who announced she was stepping down in December. She has served as the dean since 1998.

The Universit y announced Hanley-Maxwell’s position in July. She currently works as the associate dean of the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She earned her Bachelor’s, Master’s and Ph.D. from Ilinois.

“Dean Hanley-Maxwell has demonstrated an outstanding combination of scholarly accomplishment, prioritization of students, administrative experience, leadership and vision,” said Interim Provost Edward Feser in a news release. He also credits Gallagher for her efforts in helping develop the Khan Annex and Chez Family Foundation

Center for Wounded Veterans in Higher Education.

College of Education

James D. Anderson starts as interim dean of the College of Education effective Aug. 16.

Previous dean Mary Kalantzis is returning to the faculty after serving as dean for 10 years. A search committee, chaired

by Dean of the School of Social Work Wynne Korr, is currently searching for a permanent dean.

Anderson has served several key leadership roles, including executive associate dean for the College of Education and as a presidential fellow last year for President Tim Killeen, where he worked as a liaison to help the three University campuses address racial inequities and discrimination.

“I communicated with leadership and faculty within the college and throughout campus, and Professor Anderson was nominated and strongly endorsed repeatedly,” said Interim Provost Edward Feser in a news release. “Given his vast experience in various leadership roles, including as acting dean several years ago, he is an outstanding choice to serve in this interim role.”

Suburban Express

Feser served as the dean of College of Fine and Applied Arts, but they brought in an acting dean to help him after he was promoted to provost. Krannert Art Museum Director Kathleen Harleman has been serving as acting dean since the fall of 2015.

Feser, a professor of urban and regional planning, was appointed dean in 2014 and was appointed as provost by Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson. He replaced previous provost Ilesanmi Adesida who resigned on the first day of classes in August 2015 amid a scandal about private email use by former chancellor Phyllis Wise.

College of LAS

Brian Ross has served as acting dean for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson.

Wilson took over for former chancellor Wise after she resigned in August 2015. Wilson has served as part-time dean, primarily focusing on her duties as chancellor with the help of Ross.

Robert Jones will begin as the University’s next chancellor on Oct. 3, allowing Wilson to return to her position as dean of LAS.

College of Media

Wojtek Chodzko-Zajko was named the interim dean

of the College of Media in June after previous dean Jan Slater resigned, after serving for five years.

Chodzko-Zajko also continues to serve as the dean of the Graduate College. In a previous interview with The Daily Illini, Interim Provost Edward Feser said he hopes Chodzko-Zajko will only have to serve in the position for one academic year but that it is hard to tell how long he will serve.

Carle Illinois College of Medicine

The Carle Illinois College of Medicine is hoping to announce its next dean by the end of the summer, University spokesperson Robin Kaler said. Around 50 people from across the country applied to be the college’s first dean.

Other recent appointments

Wojtek Chodzko-Zajko became dean of the College of Graduate Studies in August of 2015, replacing current Purdue Provost Deba Dutta.

Jeffrey Brown became dean of the College of Business in August of 2015, succeeding Larry DeBrock who will rejoin the faculty as a professor in the Department of Finance.

Vikram David Amar became dean of the College of Law in August of 2015, succeeding Bruce Smith.

Provost search will not begin until after October

Now that a new chancellor has been selected, the University only has one topofficial in an interim position, ending a year that included an interim chancellor, provost, athletic director and football coach.

A search for a permanent provost will not begin until after Chancellor Robert Jones begins and is settled so he can be a part of the proceedings.

Jones officially begins on Oct. 3, allowing Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson to return to her position as dean of LAS. “Nothing will happen until the new chancellor gets here and has a chance to get his bearings,” University spokesperson Robin Kaler said.

Feser will return to his position as dean of FAA, which he was appointed to in 2014. Krannert Art Museum Director Kathleen Harleman has been serving as dean of FAA while Feser served as interim provost.

Over the last year, Feser has had to take on various events, including helping the campus work on budget cuts during a lack of state funding and helping negotiate with nontenure track faculty who went on strike during the end of the school year.

Spending plan moves operations forward

MAP grants will be paid to students

BY CLAIRE HETTINGER NEWS EDITOR

The University system will receive $350 million for fiscal year 2017, which begins today after the state legislature and Governor Bruce Rauner came to a partial spending agreement after almost a year of a budget impasse.

This legislative measure is not a state budget; it is being referred to as more of a spending plan, and only funds six months for higher education across the state.

The funds will be used to

pay for the University’s financial obligations for 2016 as well as 2017.

“We are grateful for their hard work and bipartisan compromise, which will improve the University’s fi nancial outlook — providing much-welcomed funding and temporarily resolving a year-long budget impasse in Springfield,” University President Tim Killeen said in a Massmail Friday morning.

But the funds are around 55 percent of the state appropriation for fiscal year 2015 which provided $650 million.

The MAP grants from the spring semester will be paid, meaning students do not have to give the MAP

funding back to the University. Killeen said the University will continue to advocate for MAP funding “to support our most vulnerable students, affordable health care for our employees and solutions to protect the retirement benefits they have earned.”

“The short-term spending plan is a milepost, but does not bring us to the fi nish line,” Killeen said. “We will continue to advocate for a full fiscal 2016 and 2017 state budget to support our excellence and ensure the long-term stability that is crucial to plan our future.”

More than 1,200 people sent over 3,500 emails to support the University and its importance in their lives

and in the future of the state, Killeen said.

“I am also deeply grateful to everyone in the University of Illinois family who has stepped up over the last year to advocate on our behalf,” he said.

As for the rest of the state, road construction and preschool through high school will be funded for a full year, while every other part of the state government is only funded for six months.

One hundred and fi ftyone million dollars in MAP grant funding will be distributed to schools throughout the state. Social services will receive funding but not full funding.

Overtime pay to help reinforce academic freedom

BY CLAIRE HETTINGER NEWS EDITOR

From the continuing budget crisis in Springfield to paying more employees overtime, the senate executive committee discussed a

wide-ranging agenda at its July meeting.

More University employees will be receiving overtime pay starting in December. The Fair Labor Standards Act increased the

threshold so that those making less than $47,476 a year will be eligible for overtime pay.

This will affect many post doctoral researchers and civil service employees,

LILY KATZ THE DAILY ILLINI

along with other positions on campus who are currently exempt but will now make less than the required threshold. The new regulations will pay people for work that supervisors may have taken for granted in the past, such as reviewing papers, answering emails and making phone calls.

The executive committee stressed that it is important to continue to pay people enough to stay competitive with other universities to attract the best possible people.

The human resources department is looking at current policies in place in addition to drafting new ones to decide the best way to be in compliance with the new regulations.

The University started its second fiscal year, FY17, without a state budget on July 1. The Campus Budget Advisory Task Force issued a report that evaluated the University’s budget model. The task force is looking into the way the University does accounting and reporting and how it takes in resources and distributes them.

The end goal is to change the budget model, which is expected to take 18 months.

The task force hopes to make people understand how their actions impact the campus-wide budget and the amount of funding at the college level.

They are asking the deans to think about how to reduce reliance on state support overtime, “so we are less reliant on things going on in Springfield,” Interim Vice Chancellor Edward Feser said.

The new chancellor, Robert Jones, has a particular interest in the international strategy effort, Feser said.

The committee will wait to move forward with a plan until Jones is settled on campus.

The University will also be censured by the American Association for University Professors, AAUP, for another year. The organization did not vote to remove the censure over the summer, Feser said Feser called the continue of the censure “a procedural outcome that people did not expect,” resulting from poor communication between the AAUP UIUC chapter and the national office.

The University was originally censured by the AAUP in June 2015. According to the association’s website,

“censure results from the Association’s fi ndings that conditions for academic freedom and tenure are unsatisfactory at a college or university.”

Former Chancellor Phyllis Wise, former President Robert Easter and the Board of Trustees came under scrutiny in August 2014 after dismissing Steven Salaita from his tenure position in the American Indian Studies department.

The reason behind his firing pertained to tweets Salaita sent regarding the conflict in Gaza.

The executive committee reinforced the University’s commitment to academic freedom. They also said the current Board of Trustees is not the same one that was in place at the time of the Salaita incident.

And that the current board feels like, despite the censure, they have always supported academic freedom and are not the same board that did not approve Salita for the campus.

“We obviously wanted really badly to be removed from censure and we are working toward that goal,” Feser said.

The College of Medicine’s first dean will be named by the end of September after starting the search in January, according to UI spokesperson Robin Kaler.

The college is expected to open in 2018, initiating its first class of 25 students. This is the first new college the University

has established in over 60 years, and it will combine medicine with bioengineering in hopes to transform the way the medical field is taught.

Around 50 people from across the country applied or were nominated to serve as the first dean.

The committee began looking at applications in January, held interviews in March and narrowed the

ready in time, Gibb said.

The college received accreditation from the Illinois Board of Higher Education two weeks ago and is currently working on receiving approval from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, LCME, a national accrediting body for medical schools.

Gibb said they hope to have the proposal sent to LCME by October to December and the selected dean will be actively engaged compiling the proposal. He said they hope to have LCME approval by 2017 so they can begin recruiting students.

Carle has pledged $100 million over 10 years for the college, and the University is aiming to fundraise $130 million over 10 years. Phyllis Wise, former chancellor who began spearheading the college in 2014, began gaining donor interest and Kaler said donors have continued to be excited about the work.

The college is also sponsoring a new psychiatry residency program that will initiate its first class in July 2017. The program received accreditation in April and, according to the program’s website, will allow students to work with child psychiatry, integrated care, work with veterans and possibly conduct research with the Beckman Institute.

search down to 11 candidates. These candidates were interviewed in person by the search committee and six were selected to come to campus for onsite interviews in May, said Matthew Gibb, Carle Health System’s chief medical officer.

The search committee is comprised of eight representatives from the Carle Foundation, eight from the University and three external members.

In a previous interview with The Daily Illini, Andreas Cangellaris, dean of the College of Engineering, said this search varies from typical dean searches because the applicant is not able to meet with current students or faculty for the particular college.

Instead, the founding dean must have a vision of what the college should be.

Cangellaris said they are looking for individuals who have been involved with innovative research in the medical field and are able to combine the campus environment with the private environment of Carle Hospital.

Most medical colleges tend to be silent and separate from the campus, he said, but the University’s college will be embedded somewhere north near Carle.

Normally the accreditation process would be a responsibility of the dean, but the process was started prior so the college can be

PhD student finds success on gameshow Jeopardy Students wins over $100K, will return to show

BY LILLY MASHAYEK STAFF WRITER

P ra nja l Vach aspat i had trouble identifying midwestern states on a map as a new student at the University. He learned but for a unique reason.

He was going to appear on Jeopardy, but was “really terrible” at Midwestern geography, said Erin R h o de , Vach a s p at i’s friend from their time as undergraduate students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“He was test solving a puzzle and could not identify Iowa on a map, and then in a different puzzle he could not identify Wisconsin on a map,” she said. “So, I am really proud of the fact that this guy, who does not know the difference between his “I” states, moved to Illinois and had to learn them and did actually really well on Jeopardy.”

Vachaspati, a graduate student in the College of Engineering, decided on a “whim” to compete on the show.

“I had a friend who was on the show, so I fi gured if she can do it, so can I,” Vachaspati said. “After I took the online test, there was like an audition and when I got back they called me and told me I would be on the show.”

He said he didn’t have anybody coaching him and that it took him about a month to prepare for the show.

“There’s this big online database of old Jeopardy questions, so I used this and I rented software to help quiz me and to identify my weak spots and practice with the buzzer timing,” he said. “I just referenced books and researched it online from people who had previously been on the shows.”

Pranjal Vachaspati appears with Alex Trebek in an episode of Jeopardy that ran July 26.

Vachaspati turned to Rhode for advice, because she had competed on the show in January 2015.

Rhode emphasized the importance of the buzzer, which she believes contributed to his success.

“Because once you get on the show, I mea n, ever ybody knows the a nswers,” Rhode said.

“The winner is always the one who can get the buzzer.”

S i n c e Rhode had also been on the show, she said it was fun watching Vachaspati compete.

“I’m like 90 percent

really happy for him, and 10 percent kind of jealous,” she said. “It was fun to watch him do really well, especially kind of knowing

“I had a friend who was on the show, so I figured if she can do it, so can I,” Vachaspati said. the show from behind the scenes, just kind of imagining him in that same scenario was really fun.”

Vachaspati said the morning of taping the show, all the contestants are taken to the studio together and that they fi lm five shows

he said. Contestants have to pay for their own airfare and hotels.

Law professor Sean Anderson auditioned for Jeopardy four times between 19 9 9 and 2 0 1 5 , where he won three times that October.

“I h ad actually tried a few other times to get on the show before it actually worked,” he said.

Anderson said he had researched past Jeopardy players’ experiences about what to expect, but he didn’t do much other preparation for

back to back per day. He flew to California to audition for the show and for the tapings of each show,

the show. “(Being on the show) was really strange, and sort of a combination of a lot of sitting around, waiting, and then really fast-paced stuff once episodes started being taped,” Anderson said.

Vachaspati said it felt crazy when he won, because he hadn’t expected to win.

“While I was there I was like, ‘Oh I’m gonna keep playing,’ and then it took a couple days for it to kind of sink in,” he said. “And then I couldn’t tell anyone for like three months and that was kind of difficult.”

Vachaspati won a total of $137,088 and said he will be returning to the show.

“There’s gonna be a tournament of champions,” he said. “I don’t know when it’s going to be because it hasn’t been scheduled yet, but I’ll be in that.”

OPINIONS THE DAILY ILLINI

EDITORIAL

Expectations for a better year What is it like being a University of Illinois student?

It’s a question that students hear ad nauseam, particularly over the summer from the inquiring minds of old friends and relatives.

Sometimes it’s met with an uncomfortable laugh or just pretending that the question wasn’t heard. Or maybe some students are honest and simply say how they feel.

Honestly, discussing the University hasn’t been easy during the past year.

Or the past five years.

There’s been clout and scandal surrounding the University for the past decade, which has hurt the national view of our school.

The resignation of former chancellor Phyllis Wise, the firings of football coach Tim Beckman and athletic director Mike Thomas and different campus incidents such as the White Student Union Facebook page and the repeated vandalization of the Chabad menorah have left the University with a broken image.

It was, by all means, a difficult school year, but that doesn’t mean this year has to be more of the same.

We’re starting the academic year under new leadership with the appointment of Robert Jones as the Urbana-Champaign chancellor. Lovie Smith and Josh Whitman have taken over as head football coach and athletic director and seem to be building a strong, positive environment for Illinois athletics.

In our eyes, the University’s recent hirings are symbolic of a return of positivity to the campus, and it’s up to the student body to capitalize on those efforts and make the most of the opportunities we

have here.

The DIA offered free tickets to students for Illinois football’s season opener against Murray State, leaving little reason for Block I to be empty. The other athletic teams warrant attention too. The men’s golf team competes for NCAA titles annually and volleyball makes consistent appearances in the Sweet Sixteen. Attendance is free or seriously inexpensive for students at many of these other University sporting events and our teams are fun to watch.

And please, be kind — or at least respectful — to one another. From the creation of a White Student Union Facebook page to the repeated vandalization of the Chabad menorah, our campus was often divided last year.

It’s fine to disagree with your peers and voice your opinion. We are bound to run into difficult discussions and differing perspectives during an exceptionally controversial election season.

But it’s not okay to belittle people who disagree with you. It’s paramount to the success of our student body that we remember to have respectful conversations, no matter how different our viewpoints.

The University’s year of tumult has come to an end, and our Editorial Board is optimistic about our new leadership. We believe the right people have been tasked with improving the University’s image. It’s important for students to remember that they play a role in that image too.

If everyone adopts a more positive attitude, students and faculty alike can be comfortable expressing pride in our University next summer.

Breaking records and barriers: a couch potato’s Olympics experience Shankari Sureshbabu Columnist

F

rom the inhuman midair fl ips of American gymnast Simone Biles to the University’s very own Bahamian trackstar Pedrya Seymour, the entire world came together again this summer to watch the Olympics, an event so spectacular that it can inspire even us couch potatoes.

The 2016 Rio Olympics might have been swarmed with controversy, from the political scandals in Brazil to the dreaded Zika virus, but the valor of the Olympians is certainly not lacking.

Amidst one of the most polarizing elections ever, it’s wonderful to see that we can all come together once again to partake in America’s favorite unifying hobby: watching resident merman Michael Phelps win everything.

But why do we, mere mortals of below-average athletic ability and typically little interest in how quickly a person can swim 200 meters via breaststroke, suddenly tune in to watch Simone stick the landing on her vault and Usain Bolt defend his title as fastest man alive?

By listening to Biles’ interviews, it’s pretty easy to see. Rising above complications in her childhood, she worked

hard every day to become a walking inspiration at only 4-foot-9 and 19 years old.

She talks about how she’s trained on holidays and skipped her prom to practice. Her determination and work ethic made even me, the Katie Ledecky of taking naps, make plans about working out at the ARC. People, particularly we lackadaisical Americans, care about the Olympics because these athletes are impressive, not only in their sport, but in their unbeatable perseverance, hard work and willpower.

To watch their longheld dreams fi nally be realized on an international platform is captivating for even the most unsporty person.

When the world comes together to celebrate these wonderful athletes, it’s impossible not to watch in awe. Olympians this year smashed not only physical records, but social barriers.

It was the fi rst year that a team of refugees contested. A group of 10 refugees from different countries of origin that qualified for the Olympics were picked from an initial group of 43.

These 10 athletes competed under the Olympic fl ag, and as IOC President Thomas Bach said, “will be a symbol of hope for all the refugees in the world.”

Simone Manuel became the fi rst African-American woman to medal in an individual swimming event when she tied for

gold in the Women’s 100m freestyle. Manuel won a total of two gold and two silver medals after all was said and done. Ibtihaj Muhammad was the fi rst U.S. Olympian to wear a hijab while competing and won bronze in fencing.

These social advancements may seem small, but representation of diverse athletes on a global stage can be monumental in the minds of young children and our future Olympians.

People underestimate how much it means that children of all races can have role models who look like them.

Along with racial benchmarks, discussion of feminism’s role in the Olympics has perked up in recent weeks.

From Kim Kardashian denouncing the title to Barack Obama proudly saying he’s a feminist, it’s hard to know which role model to listen to.

Although most reasonable people can see that it’s 2016 and it’s high time we prioritize fairness, women are still not always given the equal opportunities they deserve.

However, in a wonderful step forward, women have been crushing it in the Rio Olympics. From the Final Five to Katie Ledecky, there is certainly no shortage of female superstars in this year’s games that are on center stage.

In fact, this year there are more women on the U.S. team than men. Unfortunately,

even though there was a lot of progress made, there is still room for improvement.

Olympic announcers were often caught attributing the success of female athletes to their male coaches or signifi cant others. When trapshooter Corey Cogdell won a bronze medal, some news outlets omitted her name in headlines and referred to her simply as the “wife of a Chicago Bears’ lineman.”

Backlash to these headlines was widespread, representing just another small step toward female empowerment which young girls dreaming about their own Olympic careers are sure to appreciate.

Although it seemed like it was going to be an inevitable mess, for the most part, Rio rose above and the Olympics proved to be as interesting and inspiring as ever.

From Katie Ledecky smashing aquatic glass ceilings to the fi rst refugee team, there have been plenty of memorable moments during these games that have motivated even my lazy self.

We, the couch potatoes of America, should use our Olympic inspiration to be better, both on and off the field (but most likely off the field). With Olympian-like motivation, I hope everyone crushes this upcoming year!

A different way of life in the Kibera slums Hayley Nagelberg Columnist

An experience to remind us to appreciate what we have Summer for a college student can mean any number of things: rest and relaxation, family time or perhaps a busy work schedule.

But for me, this summer meant a journey halfway around the world to experience a new society and culture and try to leave a little impact on the people I would meet.

I lived at the edge of Nairobi, Kenya this summer and walked to work in different primary schools in the Kibera slums.

Kibera is the biggest slum in East Africa, and the second biggest slum in the entire continent.

The garbage and human waste are piled high on every street due to the

lack of a sanitation system, and the smell of burning trash always hangs in the air.

Hundreds of thousands of people are crowded into this slum. Most workers make about a dollar a day.

Many have AIDS. Still more have malaria.

Despite the hardships the residents face, there were many, many moments where I was laughing and smiling.

There were also moments when I felt homesick (or actually sick), but most of my summer involved experiences of perspective.

These are the times that defi ned my summer and will likely continue to inspire me for the rest of my life.

There was the morning when I learned that my fourth grade class used the porridge they were fed for breakfast as glue to hang up drawings and posters on their classroom wall – and it worked.

There was the time I asked students in a fourth grade class if they wanted to see America and, if so, where they wanted to live when they visited the U.S.

A young boy shyly raised his hand and asked me, “Are there slums in America?”

Then there was the afternoon I was grading midterm English compositions where the students were each instructed to write a letter inviting a friend to their birthday party.

double amputee whom I was helping adjust to using her prosthetics on the broken Kibera roads.

Eva’s home was smaller than half of my freshman dorm room, yet it housed Eva, her mother, her older sister and her baby brother. That day at school, I had shown her pictures on my phone of my family.

“A young boy shyly raised his hand and asked me, ‘Are there slums in America?’”

Student after student wrote that they knew their friends would not be able to afford the fare to travel and promised to send money to cover it.

They also wrote that they knew their friends most likely had not eaten recently and assured their friends they would send food for the journey to the party.

And then there was easily the most eye-opening experience of my entire summer.

I was visiting the home of one of my fi rst students, Eva, a six-year-old

In Eva’s house that afternoon, I sat and watched Eva recount her day at school to her mom – an experience I had nearly every single day of my school life.

When Eva told her mom that I had shown her pictures of my family, her mom asked me if she could see the pictures as well.

I held out my phone, opened to the album of family pictures that I had put together, and I looked down to play peek-a-boo with Eva’s baby brother.

Eva’s mom was swiping

through the images when she stopped, looked up with her eyes wide open, pointed at the phone and whispered to me, “Your dog, she has her own bed?”

I looked down again at Eva’s little brother, taking in the fact that he was clearly wearing the same disposable diaper he had had on a few days earlier when I had visited.

I looked at the curtain hung in the middle of the house that was blocking off the single mattress that the entire family slept on.

I looked to my side and saw the suitcases that served as closets and drawers for all of the family’s clothes.

And I looked back at Eva’s mom and just nodded my head and quietly said, “Yes, my dog has her own bed.”

There is a Jewish Talmudic teaching which says, “I have learned much from my teachers, more from my colleagues, and the most from my students.”

My students this summer were the most caring and compassionate children I had ever met.

Coming back home

from my time away with these children and getting back to campus, I have a new appreciation for the possessions I own, for the people in my life and for my education.

While I believe travel is one of the most rewarding things anyone can do, I do not think everyone needs to travel to Kenya to renew their own perspective.

Focusing less on our own individual circumstances and struggles, and instead focusing on the people around us opens up a whole new world.

This is much easier said than done, especially as this school year begins and we will be busy readjusting to new routines, but it is important nonetheless.

This school year will be long and challenging, but it will also be incredibly rewarding and fulfi lling.

I will try my best to hold onto the mindset I gained while abroad, and implore everyone to fi nd reasons to see the good in their lives.

Killeen restructures UI research leadership

BY MEGAN JONES STAFF WRITER

The director of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications will serve as the interim vice president for research, President Timothy Killeen announced Monday in a press release.Edward Seidel will begin the position on Sept. 1, pending Board of Trustees approval.

He succeeds Lawrence Schook, who announced he will step down after five years as vice president.

Killeen said the new position will be restructured to focus on promoting research that drives the state’s economy and will be titled “vice president for economic development and innovation.”

Seidel will keep his title as director of the NCSA while serving during a national search for a permanent vice president. The search is assisted by an advisory committee chaired by Peter Pfanner, a research professor of urology.

After working with Seidel at the NCSA and at the National Science Foundation, Killeen said he gained a great appreciation for Seidel’s broad vision and ability to build effective research

teams and partnerships.

“I am honored to be asked

by President Killeen to work with the entire University of Illinois system to further enhance its research and economic development portfolio, and to return even more value to the state during the search for a permanent vice

president,” Seidel said in the release.

Another search is also underway to replace Vice President for Academic Affairs Christophe Pierre, who announced his resignation in June to accept a position as provost at Stevens Institute of Technology.

The next vice president for academic affairs will serve as a “second-incommand” position under Killeen and have the title “executive vice president and vice president for academic affairs.”

New duties for the position include coordinating planning and budgeting across the UI system.

An internal search was launched in July and is chaired by University of Illinois at Chicago Chancellor Michael Amiridis. William Gropp will serve as acting director of the NCSA for Seidel.

A freshman’s guide to navigating the bus system

DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

The campus bus system may initially seem like the trepidation-inducing maze from “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” but, with some time and practice, it’ll eventually lose its mysterious and scary qualities, and students can ride with ease.

Sometimes even Google Maps gets it wrong, so it’s helpful to learn the basics to avoid ending up lost and alone in downtown Urbana when you meant to catch a movie in Champaign.

Illini Union Bookstore to Champaign Wal-Mart

Take the 1N Yellow at Transit Plaza, and get off at Champaign Walmart.

For the return trip, take the 1S Yellow.

PAR/FAR to the Illini Union

Take the 13N Silver from PAR to the Illini Union and then the 13S Silver to come back.

Ikenberry Hall to the Main Quad

Take the 1N Yellowhopper from Gregory at Ikenberry Commons (South), and get off at Wright & Armory. Take the 1S Yellowhopper for the same route back.

Allen Hall to downtown Champaign

Take the 12W Teal at Gregory & Dorner to Illinois Terminal. To make it back home, take the 12E Teal.

Krannert to downtown Urbana

Get on the 10W Gold at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts to get to downtown Urbana, which is around a 15 minute ride. Take the 10E Gold to make it back onto campus.

Illini Union to Illinois Terminal

Take the 12W Teal, and get off at Illinois Terminal Platform C. Take the 12E Teal to head back to campus.

Also, be sure to check out the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District website and app to fi nd more bus routes. Each bus route stops running at a certain time each night, so plan accordingly. Buses around campus are free for all students, though some require seeing an i-card for entry.

BOOST YOUR UofI DEGREE WITH PARKLAND CREDITS Sometimes you can't get in all the courses you need during the regular school year. For Brent, that has meant taking Spanish and economics classes over the summers, and Parkland College has proven to be a great choice for transferring these course credits back to the U of I. "Parkland classes give me individual attention for challenging subjects; my instructors know me by name," Brent says. "Transferring my Parkland credits eases the financial stress of college and helps me earn my U of I degree faster. I plan on finishing my language requirement with another class at Parkland this fall."

Wassaja Hall brings legacy to life on campus

BY MARA SHAPIRO STAFF WRITER

The University has built two new residence halls — Nugent Hall and Bousfield Hall — Since the construction of the Ikenberry Commons in 2010. This is no coincidence, said Alma Sealine, director of University Housing.

Each of these constructions is part of University Housing’s Ikenberry Commons Master Plan, an effort to renovate the Six Pack by way of replacing all affi liated residence halls with new buildings.

There are no exact deadlines for individual buildings because of budget and rate c onsiderat ions, but one new residence hall will open this fall: Wassaja Ha l l.

Wassaja Hall will be taking the location on the plot of land that was formerly Forbes Hall.

Sealine said the name for the hall came from soliciting suggestions from students.

“After we named Bousfield after the University’s fi rst female African-American graduate, we still had names that were in the running,” Sealine said. “Wassaja was the name that was most recommended.”

The student voters were all leaders from student organizations affiliated with University Housing.

After the students voted, the name was taken to former chancellor Phyllis Wise for approval. After Wise gave her permission, the Board of Trust-

ees approved the name in the fall of 2014.

Wassaja was the fi rst Native American graduate, as well as the fi rst person of color to graduate, from the University. He was a member of the Yavapai tribe and proceeded to earn a medical degree from Northwestern University. Wassaja was also a defender of Native American rights.

Lynn Basa, the artist who created the artwork for the hall, said she fi nds the tribute to Wassaja fitting for college students.

Basa created a series of three Yavapai baskets that make a path leading up to

and then proceeded to craft for six months. The stone used in the baskets was taken from the territory in Arizona where Wassaja was taken from as a child.

According to Basa, fabrication of the baskets took place in Ohio and Chicago.

Basa credits the University’s patience in helping her to deal with frustrations.

“Nothing was easy about this installation and creation,” she said. “We’re still down to the wire with it. The University was really great to work with, and they took it in stride. That made it a lot easier.”

D espite t he hard work and long hours Basa put into the artwork, she said she remains happy that she applied to be the artist for the new residence hall.

“I’ve been more and more interested in place making and public art and the landscaping element. I liked that you could look down on the site from the dorms. You can see the full composition that way,” Basa said.

“That way, it can be an experience that you could then see at the ground level too. I love the idea of beacons outside of a resident home. They show you the way home, functionally and symbolically.”

Overall, Basa said she wants students to think about what the path of baskets symbolizes.

“They should think about what type of adversity the students before them went through to get an educa-

the hall.

“Wassaja made his own path, made his own way. A lot of students can relate to that,” Basa said. “We make our own paths. I hope people don’t follow the path that is expected or given to them. College is a time when you discover your own path.”

The baskets will increase in size along the path as well as light up from the inside at night. The artwork is a beacon for the residence hall that will be able to be seen from every resident’s room.

Creating the baskets was no easy task for Basa. She was given a week and a half to come up with the design

Krannert Art Museum reopens after summer renovations

BY SARAH KATS STAFF WRITER

The reopening of the Krannert Art Museum following its summer renovations will once again allow access to the wealth of art housed in the second-largest fi ne arts museum in Illinois.

“One of the things that is so exciting to hear from students who have left for other universities with other museums is how much they appreciate the breadth of the collection we have here at KAM,” said Julia Kelly, marketing manager at the museum.

Closed all summer to renovate the four oldest main galleries, KAM will reopen select permanent exhibits to the public on Aug. 22 and celebrate a grand reopening of all exhibits on Nov. 10.

Named a top historical spot in Illinois by TripAdvisor, the museum houses an extensive array of artis-

tic styles, making it a reservoir for cultural knowledge and engagement.

“We have items from the Americas that date from before European explorers came to the continent,” Kelly said. “We have ancient

Mediterranean art and a really strong Greek collection, and then the painting collection is really wonderful.”

The Krannert Art Museum is also preparing for the debut of a temporary

exhibit titled, “Borderland Collective: Northern Triangle.” Presented in English and Spanish, this contemporary exhibit created by the Borderland Collective explores the outcomes of the 68,000 unaccompanied children who were detained at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2014.

“We’ll have two big groups of artists coming in October to primarily work with students and give presentations at La Casa Cultural talking about the exhibit,” Kelly said. “They are looking at visual images from the Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras), discussing how each country viewed the U.S. and how those people were treated upon coming here. Were they helped or hindered?”

Panhellenic sororities bond preparing for recruitment

BY GINA MAHON STAFF WRITER

One-by-one, about 50 girls fi le into an elaborately decorated and packed house.

They fi ll a nearby room from shoulder-to-shoulder, and cheerful, uniformed women surround them. Minutes later, their ears ring as they try to absorb everything around them. The uniformed ladies breathe a sigh of relief. One round down, more to go.

Every year, all of the Panhellenic sororities on campus go through formal recruitment within the fi rst few weeks of school. Formal recruitment is a period over two weekends when female University students investigate each of the sororities on campus during open house and then return to the ones that invited them back in a three round process. Eventually, they fi nd the house that suits them the best.

The week before school starts, all Panhellenic sororities come to campus and practice almost all day for recruitment. This period of time is called work week.

Samantha Rothman, senior in LAS and former Illini Media employee, helped organize work week with the sororities

as the president of Panhellenic Council along with Georgia Horn, senior in AHS and vice president of recruitment.

Rothman and the rest of the executive board of PHC work behind the scenes to improve the recruitment process. The University was one of the fi rst schools to make these changes.

“We’ve been transitioned to a value-based system, where we want women to recruit based on common interests and values and less on fl ash and frill, which is what they’re called in recruitment world,” Rothman said. “That’s what makes Illinois pretty unique. Also, we’re really fortunate to be on a big campus. We cover a lot of territory in not a lot of time. I think we are incredibly efficient here. It’s down to a science. Recruitment here is a science.”

For members of sororities who were initiated into their chapters last year, formal recruitment practice is an entirely new experience. Samantha Horwitz, sophomore in Education and member of Alpha Epsilon Phi, agreed that recruitment practice can be stressful because of the repetition and energy it takes to per-

fect everything. Within the fi rst few days of work week, Horwitz lost her voice.

Despite the hard work that goes into recruitment, Horwitz said she genuinely enjoys work week, especially because she is living in her sorority house.

“Living in the house is a very easy way for you to connect and bond even more with your sisters because you don’t have to go anywhere after (practice),” Horwitz said.

“Before and after work week ... you don’t really have the time to interact with them before that in the morning and then at night. It’s really easy to just meet up with your friends in the house and talk, because otherwise you would’ve just gone home and then broken up into small groups.

Now it’s just a place where everybody can be together under one roof.”

Chrissy Piron, sophomore in Business and member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, said she views work week as an opportunity to grow closer to her sisters.

“There’s a lot of older girls in the house that I never really got to see or hang out with that much last year,” Piron said. “A lot of the girls who I’ll be (going

through the process.”

Rothman, who helped with her sorority, Kappa Delta, as a recruitment counselor last year before joining the PHC executive board, reflected on her time as a recruiter and how it has impacted her.

“As a recruitment counselor, you get to spend a

lot of time with them, you get to know them and you become friends with them in a sense,” she said. “They trust you, and you get to help take them through a process that changes your life. It’s obviously changed mine.”

Haven: a new sexual assault program

Haven was created by the company EverFi and designed with survivors in mind. There is a button included to lead to addition-

This fall, the University is introducing another layer in student awareness about sexual assault. Haven is an online webinar required for everyone attending and employed by the University.

Coincidentally, this school year will be the 20th anniversary of First Year Campus Acquaintance Rape Education, FYCARE, a mandatory program for all incoming freshmen. Prompted by encouragement from student activists, the program was mandated beginning in the fall of 1996.

Molly McLay, assistant director of the Women’s Resources Center, said the University is a role model for other universities and others are often surprised at how the University pulls off multiple programs within a Big Ten school.

M c L a y explained that when more messages are enforced, the programs trying to raise awareness are more like- al resources if at any point ly to make a difference.

their organizations. By generating more opportunities for conversation, the mutual intention is to know what to do when one sees and/or experiences sexual assault.

Monroy expressed understanding toward how sensitive and painful these conversations can be for certain people.

Because students do not all share common ground with what they’ve seen and experienced, the depths of conversations being held can trigger unwelcome memories.

If sur vivors are taking Haven or Haven Plus, the version of the program designed for freshmen, the University wants to accommodate them. By emailing the Title IX coordinator, titleixcoordinator@illinois.edu, an understanding can be made if students are too overwhelmed to continue the program.

“You need to do what’s right for you,” Monroy said.

He specified how emotions triggered

by Haven are valid, and if a student experiences them, “you’re not weird, (and) you’re not alone.”

to college campuses.

“We know that it is a longterm cultural shift that needs to happen,” McLay said.

This mentality is summed up by the second and third words, intervention and response, in the introduction page of Haven. By informing students, the Women’s Resources Center and the University is not expecting to eliminate these issues immediately, but through boosting awareness. The desire is for conversations about sexual assault to take a different tone.

Jesus Monroy, senior in LAS and FYCARE facilitator, explained how some people will disregard the program because they know themselves and trust themselves to not add to this culture of harassment. Monroy also noted that if students think they do not need to take it for themselves, then they should take it for their friends and their communities.

Lovie’s hiring brings hope for program

FOOTBALL

CHARLOTTE CAROLL Sports editor

THE DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO

Illinois’ Ke’Shawn Vaughn (5) runs with the ball during the game against Nebraska at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Oct 3, 2015. The Illini won 14-13.

Vaughn ready to be workhorse for Illinois

BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER

Since Lovie Smith first took over as head coach of the Illinois football team, Ke’Shawn Vaughn’s family and friends have begun to place some lofty expectations on the second-year running back.

Those expectations included tongue-in-cheek murmurs of 40 touches, a game from the Nashville native’s inner-circle. Knowing Smith’s preferred hard-nosed style of play, those types of proclamations may not be too far off.

Vaughn certainly isn’t shying away.

“Coach Lovie was telling me about 20 or 30 carries,” Vaughn said. “I’m ready for that.”

Vaughn was one of the few bright spots from last season, leading the team in rushing as a true freshman and seamlessly filling in for the often injured Josh Ferguson. With Ferguson’s departure, Vaughn is the undisputed workhorse in a thin backfield that saw its expected No. 2 Dre Brown tear his ACL during spring ball.

Smith may not know too much about the players he’s inherited until the season actually begins, but he seems confident that Vaughn is ready to handle a full workload.

“He’s our bell cow,” Smith said. “In order for us to have success with our running game, Ke’Shawn Vaughn has to have a good year. He realizes that, and from what I’ve seen, he has a chance to do that.”

Although he led Illinois in rushing attempts, Vaughn

3D

carried the ball over 20 times only once last season.

That may have been due to former head coach Bill Cubit’s reluctance to get the ground game going— the Illini ran the ball on just 43 percent of their snaps in 2015 which made the passing attack predictable. With the run game as the foundation, senior quarterback Wes Lunt also stands to benefit.

“We’re going to be a runfirst team this year and go to the play-action pass off of it, and that’s something different. I think that’s huge. A run game is so important in developing a successful passing game.”

WES LUNT SENIOR QUARTERBACK

Elevating the Illini run game that ranked last in the Big Ten last season may be one of Smith’s toughest challenges, and he’s already made some changes to turn it around. Staying true to his NFL pedigree, Smith has emphasized the importance of utilizing a fullback and has decided to convert two former linebackers, Nate Echard and Austin Roberts, to play the position.

“I think it’s very important,” Smith said. “When you talk about a running game, it’s one thing to spread it out and run the football that way, but there comes a time when you talk

ME FLY COME FLY WITH US. TH US. COME FLY WITH US.

Big Ten football, you have a fullback and a tailback. We have a good tailback, and we need somebody in front of him.”

As a back who prefers running in between the tackles, Vaughn is in full agreement with Smith’s decision to employ a fullback.

“It’s a really big help,” Vaughn said. “Going through the spring, we didn’t have a fullback, so running backs were taking on lead blocks. So having a fullback will really take the load off the running backs so we can focus on what we’ve got to do.”

Vaughn added 10 pounds to his 5-foot-10 frame in order to take on a full workload and isn’t concerned about how his body responds to the extra hits. But it’s been his work away from the field with new running back coach Thad Ward that has Vaughn most excited about his improvements.

“I’ve been learning how to break down film,” Vaughn said. “In high school, I didn’t watch film or anything, so learning how to slow down the game and how to set up blocks for the linemen are really the biggest changes for me.”

Vaughn’s emergence as the offensive centerpiece could be the key for the rest of offense to excel. And if Smith has his way, a 40-carry game may be closer to reality than theory.

“You want him to do everything,” Smith said.

“And from what I’ve seen, he has the ability to do everything.”

The morning Lovie Smith was hired as Illinois’ head football coach, my dad called me, excitedly saying we were all over Chicago sports radio stations.

An Illinois alum, he instilled in me a love of Illini sports since I was a kid. I got to to stay up late to watch the 2005 basketball tourney run, and we went to the 2007 Rose Bowl loss, stuck in a section filled with USC fans throwing a peace sign meant to be a “V” for Victory hand gesture the entire game.

Yet, since the Rose Bowl season, Illinois football has hardly had a wow moment.

But the hiring of Lovie led to the Chicago media and its audience talking about the Illini in a positive light for the first time in a long time.

Illinois football was relevant again, and that’s an exciting thing.

Before Lovie’s introductory press conference in March, there was a pep rally in the Illini Union.

The room was packed with students and fans alike, clamoring to take a photo or even get a glimpse of the Illini’s savior.

I’d never seen anything close to such a response for any Illini team during my three years on campus. Lovie’s energy took over the crowd and the man had only been head coach for mere hours.

The past year has been one non-stop media circus.

Between firings and hirings, and almost a year of uncertainty both on the field and in the office, Illinois athletics constantly made fans ask, “What next?”

So Lovie’s hiring left us all dumbstruck, but it also woke Illini fans up. The Union pep rally was merely the beginning of a shift toward optimism that will see its first on-field results in just two weeks.

In the years before these scandals and failures, my old editors had nothing crazy to write about. It was plain old crappy football — day-in and day-out.

While I grew up watching and loving Illinois sports, my time in college has been spent covering them. And it hasn’t been an easy run.

As a journalist, I’ve been given plenty of content this past year.

We’re one of the few college newspaper football’s staffs in the country that can say we’ve covered almost more firing and hiring press conferences than actual home games.

It was an endless cycle of hoping I’d be awake when I got the email about the next piece of breaking Illinois sports news. I’m not exactly a morning person, and Illinois had a tendency to announce these things when I was just waking up.

So there were more than a few mornings when my roommates saw me running out the door, one shoe on, yelling, “It happened again!”

While I’m sure my confused neighbors didn’t appreciate the wake-up call, I’m still thankful for the experience.

But as a student and Illinois fan on my off days, I’m finally excited about where the program is heading.

Because when I’m at home listening to the radio with my dad over the summer and they mention “Lovie this,” or “Lovie that,” it’s pretty cool to know that a positive spotlight is finally back on Illinois.

And there’s a potential for a whole new generation of fans, filled with girls and their dads, to get excited about whatever Illinois sports has in store for the future.

VOLLEYBALL

Illini look to improve in Birks’ absence

BY JAMES BOYD AND JACOB DIAZ STAFF WRITERS

One thousand, nine hundred and seventy two kills and 5,656 attacks later, Jocelynn Birks’ career at the University is fi nally over.

Birks fi nished her time in Champaign as Illinois’s all-time kills and attacks leader.

Head coach Kevin Hambly and his team fi nd themselves on the cusp of ushering in a new era of volleyball — one that won’t include the 6-foot-2 outside hitter from Willow Springs, Illinois.

“She cleaned up a lot of stuff,” Hambly said. “No one knew if Jocelynn would be Jocelynn before she was.

That’s why you get a lot of talent. Someone will figure it out. I think (her graduation) is good. We’ll have more balance.”

Birks’ career, along with five other seniors, ended when Illinois was defeated by Big Ten foe Minnesota in straight sets last December.

It has been over eight months since the Illini fell short of their championship expectations, and during that time the team has changed.

The Illini landed the 22nd-ranked recruiting class with the additions of 35th-ranked Kaylin Korte and 86th-ranked Jacqueline Quade. Both are outside hitters.

Hambly believes Korte will compete for a starting spot this upcoming season. He compared the

new recruit’s style of play to that of Illinois’s second all-time kills leader Laura DeBruler.

“I’ve been (with the team) all summer,” Korte said. “It’s a change from going to club (volleyball) in high school. I love how competitive it is. Throughout my years here, I want to be able to set records.”

The high turnover of seniors will also open the door for a few returning athletes to build on the individual successes they had last season.

Sophomore Jordyn Poulter had an impressive freshman campaign, tallying 1,088 assists and 223 digs.

Her standout play on the court solidified her spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman Team and also called for her to be crowned the Illinois Female Newcomer of the Year.

“It’s hers,” Hambly said.

“It’s (Poulter’s) team.”

The sophomore setter led the Illini in assists in all but seven matches and according to her head coach, Poulter will have plenty of options with the growth of seniors Naya Crittenden and Katie Stadick.

Hambly also said that he expects defensive specialist Brandi Donnelly to have a breakout season.

The 5-foot-8 junior led the Big Ten with 331 digs in conference play and was the only Illini to start all 34 matches.

Her consistency last season allowed Illinois to start the season 3-0 against nonconference opponents at

AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI

Former Illinois Jocelynn Birks gets ready to spike the ball during the match against Wisconsin at Huff Hall on Nov. 18, 2015. the Illini Classic, but that success did not translate over to conference play.

Though the team defeated Maryland and Nebraska in straight sets, Illinois struggled to sustain success against the rest of its Big Ten opponents.

Hambly’s squad fi nished the season with a 10-10 conference record and a 21-13 record overall.

Despite making it to the Sweet Sixteen for three

consecutive years, Hambly will look to rebound from a very up-and-down campaign during his 8th season as head coach.

“I hate it. Sixteen, that number, I’m really considering getting rid of it on our jerseys,” Hambly joked. “(McKenna Kelsay) has it now, but it may go away. I don’t like that number. I don’t like second either, because we’ve been that a lot.”

Five years ago, Illinois was one match away from becoming national champions, but a loss to UCLA in the fi nal meant that the NCAA title would never make its fi rst trip to Champaign.

Hambly made it clear that winning isn’t his only motivation.

He admitted that a second-place trophy sits on his desk every day, and that he’s endured too many

early exits from the NCAA tournament.

Experiencing one Sweet Sixteen loss in her lone season with the Illini, Poulter echoed the sentiments of her head coach and expects to lead her team to higher accomplishments this year.

“As a collective group, we kind of have this motto of, ‘Screw the Sweet Sixteen,’” Poulter said.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Weekend visit pays off for Groce with Frazier commit MATT GERTSMEIER Illini hoops columnist

I

llinois head basketball coach John Groce seemed to have pulled out all the stops in order to land four-star guard Trent Frazier.

And it paid off with Frazier making a verbal commit at the conclusion of his official visit last weekend.

Throughout the weekend, Frazier was spotted meeting with head football coach Lovie Smith, shadowing Illini basketball director of player development Dee Brown, playing forward Malcolm Hill in a game of one-on-one and strolling through Quad Day. The addition of Frazier to Groce’s recruiting class of 2017 adds much needed point guard depth for the Illini. With DaMonte Williams already committed, Frazier is the second point guard in the 2017 recruiting class.

After this season, the Illini will be without point guards Tracy Abrams and Jaylon Tate.

There’s a strong chance Frazier will be called on

during his freshman year to contribute for the Illini.

Illinois can look forward to Frazier’s ability to score off the dribble. His explosive speed and nifty ballhandling skills will give the Illini the opportunity to push the tempo and run the floor.

Frazier, a southpaw, is also equipped with a smooth stroke and isn’t afraid to light it up from downtown. The Illini shot about 36 percent from deep last season and averaged 22 three-point attempts a game. Frazier will be another solid scoring option on a team that has typically relied on perimeter shooting under Groce.

Highlight tapes of Frazier also demonstrate his ability to see the floor and find the open man. Frazier’s speed to blow by defenders will create opportunities for big men Michael Finke, Leron Black and five-star class of 2017 recruit Jeremiah Tilmon to slip into the paint.

One area Frazier and Illinois coaches will want to work on is his strength and build. Standing at 6-foot2, 170 pounds, Frazier will be undersized compared to most Big Ten guards.

The Illini will already

likely be playing small in the 2017 season, with Mike Throne Jr. and Maverick Morgan graduating in 2016 and Tilmon the lone big man recruit for the class of 2017 thus far. It couldn’t hurt for Frazier to get big-

ger so he can hang with some of the bigger guards in the conference.

But before Frazier starts playing basketball in orange and blue, he’ll play his final year wearing white and blue for Welling-

ton High School. Frazier won a state championship during his sophomore season.

The class of 2017 has improved greatly with the addition of Frazier. Two scholarships remain and

HOCKEY

Fabbrini looking for a new team leader

BY STEPHEN COHN STAFF WRITER

llinois hockey is healthier and more experienced in 2016, after fighting through senior captain John Olen’s injuries last February.

“Right now, the focus is baby steps,” junior forward Eric Cruickshank said.

“We’re not going to make any assumptions that we’re going to win a national championship, but we’re definitely going to make strides from what we did last year.”

The Illini finished last season 20-15-3, which ended with a first-round exit at the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) tournament.

Illinois was ranked 17th in the final ACHA poll of the season, the worst in the Central States Collegiate Hockey League (CSCHL).

Junior forward James McGing paced Illinois with 49 points and 30 assists — both CSCHL highs — last

season, while Cruickshank finished second on the team with 39 points.

The Illini graduated five seniors, including Olen, following last season. Olen’s departure opens up a captain and leadership position on the team, which fifth-year head coach Nick Fabbrini says will be determined in training camp.

“Last year, character was a bit of an issue; we didn’t really have a strong voice in the locker room, and that’s what we needed,” Fabbrini said.

“We’re going to have plenty of talent coming back, but being the most talented guy on the team doesn’t make you a great leader.”

Fabbrini says he hit the recruiting trail this summer from Springfield, Illinois to Brookings, South Dakota looking for talent with junior hockey experience.

“Last year, we had too many guys that just didn’t

contribute, so there’s going to be a lot of new faces this year and along with that, the performance and culture are going to be much better,” Fabbrini said.

John Olen’s younger brother, Joe, looks to have another MVP campaign this year after allowing 2.63 goals per game and honored as the CSCHL’s Most Valuable Player last season. Cruickshank praises Olen for his levelheaded demeanor and ability to carry the load for the team at times.

“To win games, you have to have a good goalie,” Cruickshank said. “And the teams that don’t do as well in the ACHA have a goalie that is a little weaker. We’re able to compensate our mistakes by knowing that we have Joe back there to bail us out when we need him.”

Defenseman Tyler Opilka will look to capitalize on a strong freshman sea-

College football guarantees for a wild, wacky season DAN ESCALONA College football columnist

F

rom hosting controversial satellite camps to appearing in rap videos to engaging in twitter trolling, Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh has

done his part in making the Big Ten and Wolverine football fun again.

Harbaugh is not the only figure or team set to make it another wild and wacky season in the Big Ten. The renewed Ohio State-Michigan rivalry, Jabrill Peppers’s Heisman candidacy, the beginning of the Lovie Smith era at Illinois and Iowa’s division title defense all serve to make it

a fascinating season in the conference. In that vein, here are ten bold guarantees for the 2016 Big Ten season.

1. Michigan and Ohio State both go undefeated in conference play until Nov. 26

CHRIS RUSSELL TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

this game, coupled with Michigan State’s predictably dominant defense make them a force in the Big Ten East. Mark Dantonio’s squad manages to come away with doubledigit wins as they always do, and have a realistic shot to beat Michigan and Ohio State.

Armed with sky-high expectations for runs to the College Football Playoff, the Wolverines and Buckeyes will, for the most part, steamroll to their final meeting on Nov. 26. Notwithstanding Ohio State’s road loss at Oklahoma, both teams manage to get to the finale 16-0 combined in the Big Ten. Both also enter the game ranked in the Top 10 of the CFP rankings.

2. Michigan still cannot get past the Buckeyes

established quarterback in J.T. Barrett, while Michigan is still in the midst of a pre-season position battle.

Whoever emerges as the starter for the Maize and Blue — Wilton Speight or John O’Korn — will be a solid option, but neither have the playmaking ability of Barrett.

Ohio State extends its streak over Michigan to five games with its 12th win in the last 13 meetings. The game happens to be one of the best of the entire season, and resurrects the rivalry back to the glory days of Hayes vs.

Schembechler.

The inevitable end-ofseason showdown between Urban Meyer and Jim Harbaugh will decide the Big Ten East and will be the most important game between the two rivals since 2006. The difference in the game will come down to the quarterbackposition. Ohio State has an

4. Saquon Barkley emerges as a Heisman candidate

Christian Hackenberg was supposed to be the guy that transformed Penn State into a national power once again. While he had a few decent seasons, Hackenberg will mostly be remembered as a quarterback that failed to live up to the early expectations.

Now, with Hackenberg in the NFL, running back Saquon Barkley is set to be a star for Penn State.

With an inexperienced starting quarterback in Trace McSorley, Barkley will bear a larger brunt of the offense. The sophomore has a prime opportunity to make a surprise run for the Heisman Trophy.

Notre Dame on Sept. 17

The Spartans come away with one of the first victories to throw the CFP into chaos in a gutsy road win in South Bend. Here, first year starting quarterback Tyler O’Connor becomes a Connor Cook clone — a quarterback that may not be flashy but nonetheless gets the job done and does not commit silly turnovers.

O’Connor’s emergence in

5. C.J. Beathard is the best quarterback in the Big Ten

Of all the quarterbacks in the Big Ten, Beathard is the guy people always overlook. He had a fantastic 2015 season, leading the Hawkeyes to the Rose Bowl. Beathard tossed for 2500 yards with 15 touchdowns and four interceptions. More impressive were his numbers in the fourth quarter where he had zero interceptions all season with a completion percentage of 67 percent and a QB rating of 182.2.

Beathard should have an even better season in leading his team to backto-back appearances in the Big Ten title game.

By season’s end, he will be considered a top quarterback prospect in the NFL Draft.

Rajeev Ram began his tennis career at Illinois in the 2002-2003 season and helped lead the team to an NCAA title. Ram almost added another first-place fi nish to his career in the Olympics. The former Illini paired up with renowned female tennis star Venus Williams to compete in mixed doubles play. The two began the tournament with a 6-7(4), 7-6(3), 10-8 win over the Netherlands’ Bertens Kiki and Rojer Jean-Julien to advance to the second round. The American pair then went on to beat the Italian duo of Roberta Vinci and Fabio Fognini to move on to the semifi nals.

Their next win secured them a medal and gave them a chance at gold. Ram and Williams went up against fellow Americans Jack Soch and Bethanie Mattek-Sands. In a close match, Soch and Mattek-Sands overcame a first-set defeat to claim gold. Ram and Williams received silver medals.
