Students show solidarity on the Main Quad DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
After what some have called the most divisive election in recent memory, students across campus acknowledged Donald J. Trump as the next U.S. president. For some residents of Champaign County, 55 percent of whom voted for Hillary Clinton, these results came as a shock. “I’m still like pretty dumbfounded to be completely honest,” said Jordan McCoy, junior in LAS. “It just opened my eyes to like a lot of things that happen in this country.” Kurby Velez, a graduate student in Social Work, was surprised with the outcome, but understands the different reactions people are having. “I think everybody is still processing,” Velez said. “There are people who are obviously more enthused, then there are still other people who are trying to kind of understand what that means and what it means for them specifical-
ly, but also what it means for the larger community.” A group of students lined the Main Quad Wednesday afternoon in solidarity. Some held anti-Trump signs and others held Young Women’s Christian Association signs, but one thing was important, they all held each other’s hands. Xuxa Rodriguez, a graduate student in LAS, started the event for students to come and join hands together if they needed to. “I expected it to be just a few of my friends coming out every once in awhile,” Rodriguez said. “I did not actually expect it to reach the line that it has now.” Students chanting “Keep Loving, Keep Fighting” started the event. Passersby were invited to walk through the tunnel of chants to clap, dance and smile.

Now that the election season is over, other concerns can re-capture people’s attention. Including the budget impasse and the University’s funding problem. Lindsay Anderson, executive director for governmental relations for the UI system, updated Board of Trustees members at a subcommittee meeting Wednesday about the office’s next steps. The office of governmental relations has met over the last few months with over 100 officials as well as sent requests for bringing elected officials to campuses, she said. “Because so much has been on hold and because of the budget impasse, we expect a lot of public discussions over the next 60 days, not only on the state of Illinois and the budget but on higher education funding and reforms,”Anderson said. On the state level, there was a
special election for Illinois comptroller where City of Chicago clerk and former legislator Susana Mendoza defeated incumbent Leslie Munger, who was appointed by Gov. Bruce Rauner last year. The comptroller controls the state’s checkbook, which is currently at an impasse. In the legislature, following unprecedented spending, Illinois Republicans closed the gap in the Illinois General Assembly; however, Democrats will remain the majority in both chambers. The house Democrats lost their supermajority, but they will continue to be in the majority. The University of Illinois caucus is comprised of advocates who represent UI such as alumni or parents of students in attendance. A couple of members were lost, Anderson said, such as Munger and State Rep. John Bradley, who were both vocal advocates.

For many first time voters like Alex Villanueva, the events of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election created an atmosphere they didn’t want to be a part of. “I’m pretty disappointed in many ways and disgusted in others,” said Villanueva the vice president external for the Illinois Student Senate. Villanueva, who identifies as a Republican, was frustrated with his party’s candidate. “I’m disappointed that I don’t have a candidate that represents me and the way I envision the Republican Party,” he said. “I’m disgusted by a lot of the things that Donald Trump has said, and I’m also disgusted by the corrupt machine that is party politics.” Like many Americans, Villanueva decided to vote for third party candidate Gary Johnson as a way to make a statement, despite his party affiliation. However, he feels conflicted over

Expressions of feminist values vary widely across cultures, religions BY ASHNI GANDHI STAFF WRITER
The space was electric. A diverse group of students gathered in the Illini Union, anticipating an eye-opening, charged discussion. Feminism was the topic; interconnectivity was the desired result.

New constitution offers easier path to voting BY GILLIAN DUNLOP STAFF WRITER
As a way to bring more democratic procedures to the Illinois Student Senate, a new constitution has been drafted for the first time since 2011. “Basically, we felt that we could be a lot more efficient in the way that we’re set up,” said Spencer Haydary, vice president internal of ISS and senior in LAS. “The new constitution would allow for the (student) president and vice president to be popularly elected and it also establishes a permanent judiciary.” In addition to allowing the student population to directly vote for the president and vice president, the revised constitution also focuses on the separation of powers. “We’re focusing more on dividing the responsibilities of drafting legislation within the senate itself, because right now the executive does that (alone),” Haydary said. “It’s going to streamline a lot of things and make everything more efficient.” For the new constitution to appear on the fall referendum, however, the student senate must collect about 2200 student signatures. The senate is not allowed to collect written signatures due to fear of voter fraud, so students will have to log on to the student senate

As of now, the senate has 200 signatures from students, but they will continue campaigning to collect the other 2000. “There’s going to be a lot of grassroots campaigning,” Haydary said. “I am doing everything in my personal power to try to mobilize all of my friends to get all of the signatures possible.” The new constitution
has been in the works for over a year. “We sought to get as much feedback back as possible from various stakeholders,” Haydary said. “We did as much as we could to involve the public and we even held an entire committee of discussion.” Haydary is confident the constitution will be on the fall referendum despite not having all of the signatures yet.
“I would love for it to pass, a lot of people have put work into it and have just tried to tackle every single issue people have brought up to us,” he said. “It’s going to be the most comprehensive document we could have wished for, so I really hope it passes because it’s going to streamline a lot of what ISS does and it’s going to be more democratic.”

Library exhibit celebrates military service, veteran tattoos BY JESSICA BERBEY STAFF WRITER
Caleb Carlson is most proud of the sun and moon tattooed on his triceps. Although he has four tattoos, his dad has a the sun and moon, too — except on the other arm. “His are very different from mine, but it’s a way to say that we are parallel people because I am very much like my father.” Carlson greatly admires his dad. But even though their tattoos are similar, they are their own paths. Carlson is the secretary for Illini Veterans and a sophomore in Business. Like many of his peers, tattoos are important to his service. Carlson is one of many student-veterans participating in the University’s Main Library “Symbols of Service” exhibition, which showcases student-veteran’s tattoos and the stories behind them. “Some people write books, some people get piercings. I get tattoos,” Carlson said. The event took a year of planning and involved coordination with the University Library, the Center for Wounded Veterans and the Veteran Student Support
Services. “There is a rich history between tattoos and the military,” said Nicholas Osborne, director for the Center of Wounded Veterans. “They are great mediums for storytelling and for marking various points and transitions that take place in a person’s life.” In addition to commemorating Veterans Day, the display focuses on educating the campus and community about military-connected students. “Their tattoos and associated narratives provide insight into military culture and the diverse backgrounds of our students,” said Osborne. “It ultimately supports awareness and appreciation of their service.” Brent Blackwell, president for Illini Veterans and junior in AHS, also expresses himself though tattoos. A skeleton holding a microphone and a bottle, along with the words “Memento mori,” meaning “Remember that you have to die,” served as Blackwell’s first tattoo. “The idea behind (the tattoo) is that everyone has a passion— something they
love — so make sure you do it,” Blackwell said. “Don’t lose sight of what’s important to you, because we will inevitably die someday.” Blackwell’s second tattoo is a more traditional one: a ship. Claiming it just felt like him and that the ship represents his journey. He said that although he wasn’t in the navy, he served in the military for seven years. To him, the tattoo symbolizes constantly moving and looking for different opportunities. Blackwell chose to participate in the display as a way to spread awareness about veterans. He said that many people have false preconceptions of what a veteran is and that he always tries to do what he can to inform the population. “I want people to know that we are not all the same,” Blackwell said. “We are individuals. We have our own personal beliefs and traditions, just like the civilian population.” Although it’s not necessarily a military tradition, most soldiers get tattoos, Blackwell and Carlson said. Many soldiers choose to highlight their units of service through their tattoos.
University faculty give back in Campus Charitable Fund Drive BY ANDREA FLORES STAFF WRITER
Every year since 1929, the Office of the Chancellor sponsors the Campus Charitable Fund Drive, an event that encourages University faculty and retirees to donate to nonprofit organizations. This year, Campus Charitable Fund Drive started Sept. 19 and ends Nov. 11. The donation goal is set at $1.3 million. According to Melinda Garrelts, program coordinator with the Office of the Chancellor, as of yesterday, this year's donations total $1,218,000. Over 3,000 employees and retirees are anticipated to donate, and over 250 leaders promote the drive to the 14,000 employees on campus. Garrelts said that to date, 2,900 employees and retirees have contributed to Campus Charitable Fund Drive. The average contribution is $400. Campus Charitable Fund Drive is part of a state government employee legislation, State and University Employees Combined Appeal. The legislation strives to provide all employees with the opportunity to donate to charities of their choice. The University is the largest giver of all state entities, Garrelts said. “One of the reasons Campus Charitable Fund Drive is important to the Office of the Chancellor has to do with our mission as a University: enhance the lives of citizens in Illinois, across the nation and around the world,” Garrelts said. “Through the generous giving of U of I employ-
ees and retirees, the lives of others are made better.” The Campus Charitable Fund Drive contains 12 “umbrella” agencies including the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, America’s Charities, Black United Fund of Illinois, Community Health Charities of Illinois, Community Shares of Illinois, Earthshare Illinois, Global Impact, Independent Charities of America, Special Olympics, United Negro College Fund and United Way of Champaign County. These umbrella agencies contain over 700 nonprofits from which University employees decide to donate to. The United Way of Champaign County is one of the most popular agencies that University employees chose from, said Alma Sealine, vice chair on the advisory board of the Campus Charitable Fund Drive. Garrelts said that on average, the United Way of Champaign County receives $500,000 from Campus Charitable Fund Drive. They have been a part of the drive since its beginning. Within the United Way of Champaign County, there are 37 partner agencies that donors can choose to give to. “People will support the ones that are more wellknown, like the American Red Cross or Crisis Nursery,” United Way's Director of Campaign Giving Nancy Suchomski said. “We lift them all, it depends on a donor’s passion.” Suchomski notes that University employees are inter-
ested in the issues that the Champaign-Urbana community faces, leading to additional donations. “Truly, they are by far our largest supporter in our community. We love that, I can’t say enough about how much support they give us,” Suchomski said. “It’s wonderful that they let us be a part of this great charitable fund drive.” Sealine believes that it is important to faculty and retirees to give back to the community. “(The Campus Charitable Fund Drive) is a way for the University to reinvest in the local community as a landgrant institution,” Sealine said. Each department on campus has a representative that serves on the Campus Charitable Fund Drive committee, and these individuals have contests for the departments to raise money. Sealine, as a representative for the University Housing department, hosted incentives that encourage employees to donate. This year, the department held pumpkin decorating and cookie baking contests. Garrelts noted that charitable giving is up four percent in the country as of 2015, and that young people are more willing to give up their time rather than their money. “(The Campus Charitable Fund Drive) is really an opportunity for people to make a difference in their community and help out others,” Garrelts said.

TOGETHER The number of students grew and the line was soon joined by YWCA members. YWCA Executive Director Andrea Rundell said they attended the stand to show support for Rodriguez. “We’re supposed to be here together, standing together, and that’s a big part of YWCA’s mission — to empower women and eliminate racism,” Rundell said. Notably, the line was not intended to be anti-Trump, Rodriguez said. She encouraged students to reflect on whatever they felt. “A lot of what has happened in this election was
so much hatred and it’s been made okay,” Rundell said. “Those of us on the right side of history are making our voices louder.” Over 100 students of different races, ethnicities and cultures participated in the line. Music and chants continued past 2 p.m., when Rodriguez expected it to be over. “I hope people realize they have friends next to them, and they have people they can come to when they need support and a community,” Rodriguez said. Later in afternoon, a Trump supporter waving the American flag clashed with a large group of students. Chancellor Robert Jones sent out a massmail to the
“It’s just a way to show pride, a way to express yourself in a way that was kind of counterculture, even though it’s pretty mainstream now,” Carlson said.

ELECTION Anderson said at the meeting to stay tuned as the agenda develops this fall as they work with the Illinois caucus, the legislature and University administration. On the federal side, Republicans retained their majority in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. In Congress, Raja Krishnamoorthi, a small businessman, retained Tammy Duckworth’s seat in the 8th district. Duckworth, who won by 14 percentage points, is moving into U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk’s seat. The shift toward Republican leadership in Washington was unexpected, Ander-

We don’t have to be friends to work together toward a better future.” “We are in this together.”
Ashley Harris, Jason Chun, Joseph Longo and Claire Hettinger contributed to this report news@dailyillini.com
She said that her favorite part of the process was actually interviewing the students for the display. “Being able to hear their stories of what their tattoos were of, why they got them, and the importance of it to them, was really rewarding for me and is reflective of the things that we do in the library,” Pionke said. Osborne said that the vet-
erans involved are really excited to be able to share this display with the campus and the community. “The thing about tattoos that’s interesting is that people may not want to share certain stories but are willing to put art on their body, symbolizing those stories,” Osborne said.
son said, and now they will have new faces to potentially build relationships with. “We will continue to ramp up our efforts, better tell the story of the University, of our growing enrollment and economic impact, our students and their successes and continue to offer solutions and bring people together as that divide that we have is growing between parties,” she said. One of the strategies to bring people together is to host a breakfast in Washington in September with the National Science Foundation director France Córdova to bring together a bipartisan group of Congress. “They spoke about the benefits of science and research and how they can work
together in the state of Illinois,” she said. “Those conversations are happening under our leadership.” As the University and state continue to face a budget impasse and “significant change” on the federal level, they will continue to advocate and offer solutions. Committee Chairman Patrick Fitzgerald reminded members the board is a public body, not a political body. “It is important for us to stay above politics, but remain conscious of how political changes affects our very important interests both in funding and how things work at the state and federal level,” he said.

faced when she decided to begin wearing the hijab in sixth grade. They were some of the worst days of her life she said. “I was physically assaulted,” she said. “People punched me in the face, people pulled off my scarf and called me a terrorist left and right.” This personal defeat sparked her need for social advocacy. Since then, the passion and upset of her past has fueled her need to yell and let her voice be heard — forging her own identity. Katebi used her personal experience as a framework to discuss universal feminism. She indenitfies as a feminist which ruffles a lot of feathers both within the Muslim community and beyond. She spoke about how society views Islam and feminism as two mutually exclusive entities. “Anytime I give a talk, people are like ‘how can you wear a hijab and be a feminist — is that not contradictory to you? Doesn’t your religion stone women? Doesn’t your religion do these terrible things?’” Through her lecture, Katebi aimed to illuminate the contradictory relationship between mainstream western feminism and gen-
eral women’s rights. She considers the current feminist viewpoint to be patriarchal. “The word ‘feminism’ is a Western construct. Not the idea of women’s rights, but the term of ‘feminism,’” Katebi said.This discrepancy between two different forms of feminism served as the focal point of her lecture. “When we combine the word feminism with images of naked women protesting Mosques, obviously there is going to be a backlash as to what (Muslims) assume to be feminist,” Katebi said. Katebi said the notion of ‘white feminism’ is a version of feminism that primarily protects interests of white women, though it is not viewed as an oppressive force in American society. She views feminism as the equal celebration of all men and women. This achieves equality and recognizes the importance of difference. “The Muslims going against feminism is rooted in real concerns of not wanting to have this imperialist word and baggage,” Katebi said. “By saying that the Middle East isn’t feminist, it is problematic because it erases all of the women who are doing amazing work in the Middle East.” Maryam Sultan, student in LAS and president of UMMA, sees social equality in verses of the Islamic holy book, the Quran.
According to Sultan, Islam has historically supported women’s rights. She also looked at western feminism with a postcolonial lens. “In this case — the other is the east, the other is Islam. For the west to define themselves as feminist, they have to define the east as anti-feminist.” Chris Maden, chair of the Champaign County Libertarian party, said feminism gives liberty to the people in making decision. For him, this remains true even when an oppressive culture comes into the picture. “To the extent anyone male or female makes an informed voluntary consensual choice about their own lives, whether it is what they wear or do in their personal lives — that’s their decision to make,” Maden said. Maden further describes that feminism comes in a variety of forms. Katebi calls for student groups to promote dialogue and inclusion on campus. “If we aren’t defining our own narrative, who is? If we aren’t going to be standing up, who is?” Katebi said. “Right now, people who are in power and have all the power are constantly forging an identity for us. We cannot let our oppressors define us. Don’t let them define you, but rather shape you.”

ongratulations, America. You did it! You really made America “great” again. You’ve managed to beat the odds and elect the leastqualified, most blatantly racist, sexist and homophobic candidate available. Yes, it’s really “great” that come January, millions of Americans who have had to fight this nation for their rights at every turn will now be led by a commander-inchief who has openly announced his hatred toward their race, nationality, gender or sexuality. This could have been a milestone event, as having a woman in the White House would not only be significant on election night, but would have taken steps to break societal barriers that have kept women from having full rights over their bodies. It would set
a precedent for girls who have had to learn that American political history is full of men and who could not imagine a place for themselves among the 44 males who have previously served or currently serve as president. It would set a precedent for increased job and wage equality, something that has been an uphill battle, partially due to a lack of female legislators. With Hillary Clinton elected president, the U. S. could have reached a milestone that is a long time coming. For a country that claims to be a land of equal opportunity, the reality of becoming president was restricted to white males until 2008. Yet, even after Barack Obama was elected, the pervasive issues of xenophobia and racism in our country did not end. In fact, they were highlighted with the “birther
movement” and race-focused shootings dominating the news. If anything, our nation’s bruises were made more obvious during the presidency of our first black president. We were so proud of the progress that we’ve made but maybe we’ve learned that we haven’t progressed at all. Sexism was a defining factor with Clinton’s election. One thing the past year has shown us is that someone can be blatantly racist, homophobic, untruthful, sexually aggressive and abusive, and a plurality of our country will still support him enough to nominate him for the presidency as long as he makes a half-hearted apology. The key, of course, is “he.” He is the definition of privilege: a rich, white man whose transgressions were excused at every turn. As frequently mentioned during each new Trump scandal, if Clinton had
the same rap sheet, she wouldn’t have made it anywhere close to the nomination. A silver lining to the black cloud shadowing the U.S. after this election is that the nastiest underbelly of intolerance in our country has been exposed. It shows how betrayed our country feels about business and political deals. The majority of the electorate was willing to overlook a myriad of personal issues and past transgressions simply because Trump offered the hollow promise of a better future. Now, we face the reality of a so-called “better future.” A leader with no political experience. A president with the ability and intention to undo eight years of social progress, and a majority of Congress willing to back him every step of the way. Thanks for voting.
Trump presidency will test millennials’ perseverance MATT SILICH Opinions editor
I
walked a little slower Wednesday morning. I typically bound up and down the streets of Champaign, so much so that my girlfriend says I need to shrink my legs a few inches so she can catch up. But Wednesday, I didn’t really feel an urgency to go anywhere, much less do anything. After supporting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the entire 2016 election cycle, I helplessly watched with millions of others Tuesday while her hopes of winning the presidency crashed down from the glass ceiling’s apex. Instead, Republican President-Elect Donald Trump upset pundits’ predictions and won the election with help from a surge of white, working-class voters in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. He’ll likely earn over 300 electoral votes when it’s done, a considerable margin regardless of the popular vote. And his deficit in result totals only makes it more difficult to stomach Clinton’s loss. The prospect of a Trump presidency was unfathomable a year ago, much less one fully equipped with a conservative Congress and an open seat waiting on the Supreme Court. If Trump is true to his campaign promises, then millions of
Americans are in danger of losing what they hold dear. Minority groups will have their rights questioned, if not their citizenships. Climate change will go unaddressed and unbelieved. Tens of millions of people will lose health care. The driving forces behind eight years of consistent economic progress may be wiped out within months. Trump’s relatively timid acceptance speech has already convinced some that this might all work out, as if 30 minutes of good behavior excuses years of lewd comments and bigotry. Trump has done the boy scout act before — each debate started with a calm, determined candidate before the facade quickly crumbled. A man who can’t stop himself from pressing “Tweet” at 3 a.m. now controls the country’s nuclear arsenal. Perhaps Trump is an entirely different person privately than his public persona, but he didn’t undergo a behavioral metamorphosis in the hours between the first closing of the polls and Clinton’s concession. Few know what a Trump presidency entails — I doubt even Trump himself knows — but his red cheeks look the same even through rose-colored glasses. I spent most of the primary season saying that supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders were naive; that they didn’t understand why
his plans were unfeasible and that the rest of America would find his selfadmittedly socialist ideas untenable. But Tuesday, I was the naive one; I believed in an America that simply doesn’t exist, one fabricated from a social media bubble and wishful thinking. Clinton won the popular vote, sure, which speaks to poor campaign strategy in the final months. But the harsh reality is that people, even those who voted Democrat in the past, didn’t like her enough to go to the polls. Five million fewer people voted for Clinton in 2016 than President Barack Obama in 2012 as of Wednesday night. It’s painful when the candidate who inspires your support can’t evoke the same passion from those who hold such similar beliefs. Though Sanders may not have won the primary even without the Democratic National Committee’s opposing influence, people are right to wonder whether he would have triumphed in the general election given Trump’s connection to financially troubled white people. Perhaps he would have. Many liberal students’ instincts will tell them to fight those who delivered Trump to the White House. Facebook news feeds, or at least mine, are already flush with statuses demeaning Trump’s supporters. I struggle to understand
LILY KATZ THE DAILY ILLINI
Students rally at Alma Mater to express dissatisfaction with the president elect on Wednesday night. their reasoning too, but our takeaway can’t be one that encourages further divisiveness. Some won’t be willing to compromise, but working toward a better future wouldn’t have been easy even if Clinton or Sanders were elected. A brief note to those who voted for Trump because they do support his bigoted beliefs, or think it will quell the voices of the underrepresented: Brace yourselves, because all those people and those who stand with them are about to fight a hell of a lot harder. But if millennials are going to preach nearly unconditional inclusion, as
we should, we must have the decency to understand why Trump’s reasonable supporters — and they exist in great numbers — are so disgusted with the Democratic party that they would look past Trump’s bigotry and vote for him. Perhaps that voter base won’t decide the president in 2020 as it did this year, but educating ourselves on opposing views should be a conscious effort at all times, not just during election season. For all the danger that feels imminent as Jan. 20, 2017, looms closer, hope can’t be lost among millennial voters. We who voted
overwhelmingly in favor of Clinton — enough to claim nearly 500 electoral votes if the voting were limited to millennials — will eventually rule this nation. Social movements that promote equal rights for all will become the norm, even as some of our fellow students drift toward more conservative fiscal beliefs. That day is in our certain future, even if the road that leads there just got considerably bumpier. Change is coming. But for now, we might just have to walk a bit slower.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Election should encourage action Last night, we elected a president who, to his credit, reflects how the rest of the world sees America — rich, full of swagger and totally unapologetic. Many people, including myself, are disappointed in the results, disappointed in the low voter turnout and disappointed that this long election stressed
anger and shame over dignity and respect. But now that the dust has settled and the results have been called, I ask my fellow Americans to themselves be better than this election has been. Don’t sit in smugness and condescension. Don’t shut people out because their politics, their faith or
their identity is an inconvenience to you. Don’t define yourself by what you are against — find things to stand for. In other words, don’t sulk. Be useful. Part of the reason we are where we are as a country is that we as citizens have delegated too much responsibility for our future to
representatives we don’t particularly care for and will never really know. Most of us don’t vote, and too often, those of us who do use it as an excuse to complain and demand that the world change without having to change ourselves. President-Elect Trump: I legitimately hope that you can do great things for
my country. I love it very much, and I want it to succeed no matter who is at the helm. But to my fellow Americans, liberal, moderate or conservative, I say this: Don’t wait for other people to change our future — not presidents, senators, governors or mayors. Exercise whatever power
you have as a citizen, as a parent and as a professional to make things better for your community and your country. No one is coming to save or doom us. We can only do that ourselves. Alexander Montero is a senior in Business. amonter3@illinois.edu

FYCARE commemorates 20 years on UI campus BY MARA SHAPIRO STAFF WRITER
A part of University history that students and staff may be unaware of is that FYCARE, First Year Campus Acquaintance Rape Education, was one of the first college-mandated sexual assault prevention programs in the country. Established in 1996 officially, FYCARE became necessary for all first-year students after the sexual assault and murder of research programmer Maria Pia Gratton in a campus building on Halloween in 1995. It became one of the first college-mandated sexual assaul prevention programs in the country. FYCARE still stands strong and will be celebrating its twentieth anniversary from Friday until Monday. Events include presentations from past and current FYCARE facilitators, a karaoke night and a breakfast and service project that benefits rape crisis center, Rape Advocacy, Counseling and Services, amongst other activities and talks.

Natale Brunelle, freshman in LAS, is another artist whose work will be on display. “I wrote a collection of ten poems. I have depression, so they help me express how I’m feeling and my relationships with people in my life,” Brunelle said. Brunelle said she wants people to look at her work and see that everyone is a

She also said she hopes her work helps viewers become aware that the person standing next to them might be going through something terrible, and they have the power to help those around them. “I know it sounds cliché, but it does get better. I’ve been dealing with this since I was 12,” Brunelle said. Find something that makes you happy and build a support system around yourself. Focus on you.

gender binaries. “This way students don’t feel like they need to come out during workshops,” McLay said. Stoecker said the program is always working to improve upon itself. “Every semester, we meet up to discuss changes that need to be made to the script, based on feedback from participants in the workshop, the experiences of facilitators, and current issues,” Stoecker said. “We foster an atmosphere of consistent positive change in order to affect the most positive change within the campus community.” McLay has seen an increase in facilitators over the past four years. There used to only be 60 but the numbers have more than doubled to 140 facilitators. McLay said University students should attend the anniversary events and festivities. “Students can be a part of a bigger change and think about what standards as University students they want to uphold. It will also give them a better sense of what FYCARE is all about,” she said. Stoecker agreed with McLay that the events will be learning experiences for students. “Students should partake in the anniversary celebrations because it is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the history of FYCARE, its future plans, and also learn about the organizations we partner with, such as the Women’s Resources Center and Rape Advocacy, Counseling and Education Services,” Stoecker said. “It is also a great way to expand your network and meet others who are so deeply passionate about supporting survivors and working to and rape culture. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

ROTC students share experiences BY RACHEL MELANCHON CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Dirk Husemann, junior in LAS, deals with strenuous morning workouts and varying time commitments, but said it’s worth it to be a member of ROTC at the University. Reserve Officers Training Corps. is a program through the military that allows students to not only receive valuable scholarships toward their education, but also provides them with the opportunity to enter the military with the status of an officer. “I knew I had always wanted to join the military,” said Husemann, who is a member of the Navy Battalion in ROTC. “Initially I wanted to go to the academy, but when that didn’t work out, ROTC gave me another opportunity to enter the Navy as an officer.” Both Husemann’s father and brother served in the military.

noted that he was willing to give up his career for the sake of his family. He said he would be ready to leave the military if the deployment was too hard on him. The significant time commitment is an added challenge of the ROTC path. “I had to give up things, such as clubs, to be a good student in ROTC. I learned that the best way to balance your time is to find a senior or junior in your detachment that has the same major to help you find good classes,” said Such. “ROTC can be hard if a person is bad at time management. Many students leave because it is too hard.” The freshman have their own orientation program, as they are new to the ROTC path. The freshman and sophomore years of ROTC are non-binding, so unless a student is receiving a scholarship, they are able to drop out of ROTC without a penalty. Seniors and Juniors, on the other hand, lose their scholarships and may have to serve if they choose to leave the program. Sydney Shephard, freshman in Engineering and ROTC member, said “ROTC has forced me to quickly learn discipline, confidence, leadership and a lot about time management. It does get tough at times to balance school.” Shephard also said there is a large sense of camaraderie among her peers in ROTC. “We are there for each other and have each other’s backs. This really benefits my college experience and career,” Shepard said.

Organization advocates for mental health and suicide awareness BY MERAL AYCICEK CONTRIBUTING WRITER
On April 7, Kim Bryan walked into her son’s room and suddenly screamed, alerting the entire household that something was wrong. Immediately, Bryan called 911 to alert them that her son, 19-yearold Samuel Blisset, committed suicide. While on the phone with the operator she asked, panicked, “What am I supposed to do without my son?” Blisset was a Champaign resident who attended Western Illinois University and Parkland College before committing suicide near the end of his freshman year. Bryan said after her son’s death, friends and family started bringing them artwork and poetry to express their condolences. Bryan and her daughter, Kaylee, saw this as a coping mechanism for their community, and Rattle the Stars was born. Rattle the Stars is hosting its first art event, Art for Understanding, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m Saturday at the Unitarian Universalist Church of UC, at
309 W. Green St., Urbana. Community members submitted artwork, written work or spoken word pieces about their experiences with mental illness and suicide in an effort to help students open up about their struggles. Currently, suicide is the tenth leading cause of

death in America. On average, there are about 117 suicides per day and for every suicide, there are about 25 suicide attempts, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Every year more than 570,000 teenagers attempt suicide and about 12 high school students kill themselves every day.
In the face of all of this, Blisset’s family chose to focus on a more uplifting fact. “It takes one person to save a life, and you only have to save one person to be a hero,” Bryan said. The name “Rattle the Stars” comes from one of Blisset’s favorite movies, “Treasure Planet,” and encompasses the idea that every person has the power to change the world. This goal of the organization is “to beat the stigma of mental illness and prevent suicide in adolescents and young adults ... to normalize the topics of mental illness and suicide so that no one ever feels alone or suffers in silence,” according Rattle the Stars official website. Rattle the Stars advocates for suicide and mental illness awareness and regularly talks to students in local high schools about mental illness. Bryan said that while most people are open to talking about these problems, there is sometimes negative feedback, especially from parents, about the normalization of suicide. “Those students who

FOOTBALL
Illini not Watson’s only fraternity of brothers
BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER
Making an impact on the football field was not going to be enough for Illinois linebacker Tre Watson. He wanted to make one off the field, as well. Last spring, Watson pledged the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and during his pledge semester, he was elected president. “I was introduced to it by my dad,” Watson said. “It was something I felt that I wanted to include in my life and make an important decision to do that.” Watson’s dad, Tim Watson, was a member of Omega Psi Phi at Howard University as well as a safety on the football team. His dad has kept ties with his fraternity brothers over the years, and Tre said he has grown up surrounded by members of the fraternity. Omega Psi Phi is one of the five chapters that makes up the University of Illinois Black Greek Council, but there was never a decision of which fraternity he wanted to join: it was always Omega Psi Phi. Balancing his life in the
fraternity with his life on the football field is not a simple task, but Watson said his dad is a great model to show how it can be done. Tim was successful in college as a football player. He set the record at Howard for most blocked punts in school history and was drafted in the sixth round of the 1993 NFL draft. He stayed in the NFL until 1997. Watson is a redshirt sophomore, and this is his first semester for him truly balancing the responsibilities of being an in-season football player with those of a fraternity member. But so far, Watson has shown no signs of struggling. Linebacker Hardy Nickerson has noticed big changes in Watson’s game over the season. “He has been playing well all season since he has been in the lineup,” Nickerson said. “He is a guy we count on, and he is a guy who goes out there and steps up and makes plays. I love playing next to him, and it is just awesome to see a guy develop like this.” After playing all 12 games for the Illini in his redshirt-
freshman season, Watson was chosen as the Illini’s Defensive Newcomer of the Year. He made his first career start this season against Nebraska and set a new career high for tackles against Michigan State with 16, earning him Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week. “He has been making improvements every week.” defensive end Dawuane Smoot said. “He just brings that tenacity. You saw him get a couple big hits. He just brings that hype and that down-hill mentality.” Smoot said that Watson does most of his talking on the field with his play. As part of a defense loaded with upperclassmen, Watson does not have a vocal role out on defense. Smoot said Watson will become more of an audible leader as he continues to play well and emerge as a leader. “He is more of an action guy,” Smoot said. “He hasn’t had as many opportunities to be as vocal as he is going to be over the next few years as his role on the team grows.

Illinois not backing down against No. 7 Wisconsin BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
Lovie Smith hasn’t been shy about his lack of familiarity with most of Illinois’ opponents this season. It has been common for Illinois’ head coach to experience opposing stadiums for the first time in his career whenever the team hit the road. But when the Illini head to Madison, Wisconsin, to face off against the No. 7 Badgers this Saturday, Smith should know his way around the facilities relatively well. One of the first stops in
Smith’s 30-year coaching career was Wisconsin when he served as the team’s linebackers coach in 1987. And interestingly enough, Saturday will mark a pseudo-teacher-versus-student matchup when Smith and Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst operate on opposing sidelines. Chryst played quarterback for Wisconsin during Smith’s single season coaching there. “Coach Chryst does a good job,” Smith said. “We have a long history together as I’ve talked about, and

what you see is a traditional Big Ten powerhouse.” Illinois has lost sixstraight matchups with Wisconsin, with its last win coming in 2007 at home. The Badgers’ current six-game head-to-head win streak is tied for the longest in the two schools’ all-time series, which dates back to the 19th century. Wisconsin is currently gridlocked in a threeway tie with Minnesota and Nebraska for the Big Ten West lead. Since their narrow loss to Ohio State, Wisconsin has won threestraight conference contests by an average margin of 9.3 points while holding those three opponents to an average of 11 points per game. Chryst’s squad has the second-best defense in terms of scoring in the Big Ten, behind only Michigan. “We know we’re going to have to be at the top of our game,” Smith said. “We’ll need to play better than we did this past week. We realize who we’re playing, but what an opportunity for our young football team to have a chance to play a great team like that.” With trips to Michigan and Nebraska under its belt, Illinois is no stranger to playing under hostile conditions, and this week will be no different. Wisconsin has played in front of crowds of at least 77,000 in every game at Camp Randall Stadium this season. In order to prepare for the distractions of being on the road, the Illini practice with simulated crowd noise blaring out of the speakers of Memorial Stadium. “We make it extremely loud so they get used to really concentrating and paying attention,” offensive coordinator Garrick McGee said. “We try to manufacture that as much as we can during the week of preparation.” McGee said Camp Randall was one of his favorite stadiums to play in and expects the Illini to be used

Paralympic athletes share stories on their adverse road to success BY RYAN WILSON STAFF WRITER
When Adam Bleakney first walked into an Iowa driver’s license facility, everything seemed normal. A month and a half later, he returned to the facility and talked with the same employee. But this time, she looked at him completely differently, Bleakney said. “From my personal experience, that was the toughest,” Bleakney said as his voice trailed off. “Learning to get around in a chair, opening a door, that was all easy to do and all the other different things you have to do when you’re paralyzed versus non-paralyzed. That type of perception of you coming from the other people was tough for a 19-yearold to swallow.” Before going back to the facility for a second time, Bleakney had flipped off of his motorbike in Colorado, injuring his spinal cord. He spent the next month and a half at Craig Rehab in Denver and was released one day before getting his driver’s license checked. Bleakney, now 41, still vividly remembers the events that followed. “I think that at that point, because of the way she treated me in a wheelchair, there was such a significant contrast to the way she had interacted with me when I walked in,” he said. Bleakney — a former wrestler at University of
St. Thomas in Minnesota — was left searching for a way to utilize his passion for sports and his competitive edge. He was not familiar with Paralympic sports until after a group of Paralympic athletes visited Craig Rehab and ESPN aired a documentary about wheelchair racing. “As I was adapting, I tried to find those anchor points,” he said. “As I did pre-spinal cord injury, for me, the one point that was a sense of normalcy was training.” Bleakney would push his racing chair, swim and exercise outside of class. Less than a year later, he competed in the Chicago Marathon. His Paralympic debut came three years later in Sydney.
Fighting inequality
Even though sports gave him self-confidence, that didn’t mean the end of stigmas. “That devalues the person, and the fact is that disability is a normal part of human existence,” Bleakney said. “There are a lot of people with disabilities on this planet, so it’s not that much of an anomaly.” The World Bank estimates around one billion people in the world have impairments, and the United Nations estimates 80 percent of those individuals live in developing
countries, where some are treated differently and not as full citizens. The inequality also carries over into sports. Paralympic gold medalists are awarded less than a third in cash prizes from the United States Olympic Committee than Olympic gold medalists, according to The New York Times. The winners of the New York Marathon wheelchair division earned $15,000, compared with $100,000 for their ablebodied counterparts. Paralympian standout and Illinois alumnus Tatyana McFadden critized this inequity in the same article. She is working to bridge the gap between those with impairments and those without. “For her, there’s a greater meaning to her success, and I think our program too,” Bleakney said. “That’s been the philosophy long before I arrived on campus, and that was that sport was an opportunity for outreach and empowerment.”

Early Signing Period comes and goes without five-star recruit MATT GERTSMEIER Columnist
W
ednesday marked the first day of basketball’s early signing period. Illinois received the signatures of almost all of its verbal commits, except perhaps the most important one. Before signing day, head coach John Groce had locked down four verbal commits. Three of the four made their commitments official. Four-star guards Trent Frazier and DaMonte Williams as well as three-star guard Javon
Pickett all signed their National Letters of Intent. Five-star center Jeremiah Tilmon, who verbally committed in July, did not. This has caused a lot of speculation from scouts and analysts trying to decipher Tilmon’s choice of not signing. If he already made a verbal commitment, why wait? This could be a hint at a recommitment from Tilmon. His recruiting profile on 247sports.com now indicates that Saint Louis might be back in the mix. For Illinois, losing Tilmon would be devastating. Tilmon was a huge addition to the Illini’s class of
2017. Ranked as the No. 25 best player in the nation according to 247sports. com, Tilmon helped launch Illinois’ incoming freshman class to one of the best in college basketball. I’ve disclosed this in a few of my columns already, but I want to reiterate it — I am not a social media expert by any means. However, there are some tweets I would like to bring up and discuss. The first tweet is from Pickett that was posted late Wednesday morning. It read “Shhh, just stop talking we good!” This might be in reference to the news about
Tilmon. This could be a little insider trading action, but Pickett doesn’t want to disclose any details out of respect for Tilmon. The other tweet comes from Jordan Goodwin, a four-star Saint Louis commit who was highly sought after by the Illini. His tweet was also posted late Wednesday morning, and it said “It could be today or it could be tomorrow just know it’s gonna happen.” This tweet included the 100, crying face and OK hand emojis. This could be about anything, but apparently Goodwin and Tilmon are pretty close. Their
hometowns are a quick 20-minute drive apart. But Tilmon not deciding to sign on Wednesday could mean anything. Nothing has been confirmed or reported. Rather than dwelling on this odd occurrence, Illinois should focus its attention to the three commits who signed and will be suiting up next season. Without Tilmon, this class is still solid. Frazier has explosive speed and is known to push the offensive tempo. Williams has great athleticism and can play lockdown defense. Pickett has impressive length for a guard and
isn’t afraid to drive the ball to the paint. This class is good and still has room to grow. There’s a chance that Illinois’ three signed commits could be joined by a few others by the end of this weekend. Fivestar wing Kris Wilkes is making his decision Nov. 13, and three-star center Mayan Kiir is deciding Nov. 14. And who knows, maybe Tilmon forgot his pen at home.

ILLINI OF THE WEEK
Kendrick Foster remains constant positive presence for team BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
With 19 seconds remaining and the game on the line against Michigan State, Kendrick Foster had a simple question for an Illinois defense preparing to stifle a fourth-down attempt in its own red zone. “How do you want be remembered?” the junior running back shouted into the huddle. Seven seconds off the play clock later, seniors Carroll Phillips and Hardy Nickerson bottled up Michigan State’s Damion Terry for a triumphant defensive stand, giving Illinois its first Big Ten win at home. Foster didn’t take the field for the game’s deciding play, but his message did. “That energy just translates into everything you’re doing,” sophomore linebacker Tré Watson said. “(Foster) did what he needed to on offense, and we felt like, ‘Alright, he did his job, now it’s time to do ours one last time.’ It definitely helped give us a boost before we went out there for that last play.” Ultimately, the defense was the deciding factor in Saturday’s 31-27 victory, but Foster made sure the Illini even got that far in the first place. The Peoria native rushed for a career-high 146 yards and found the end zone twice. He’s now second in the Big Ten in yards per carry, fifth in all-purpose yards per game and sixth in rushing touchdowns. Prior to the season, Foster had 15 career carries under his belt and was projected to be the Illini’s third-string back. Now, he’s the team leader in total offensive touches, yards and scores.
MITCHELL FRANSEN THE DAILY ILLINI
Portrait of Kendrick Foster by Mitchell Fransen. As a constant positive presence throughout the ups and downs of the season, Foster has become a team leader off the field as well. “People follow guys like that,” head coach Lovie Smith said. “They listen to guys like that. They watch very closely, and what you see from him is a never-stop effort. As a coach, the guys that are doing it the right way, you want them to be the voice that people are hearing.” At 5-foot-9, Foster is usually the smallest player on the field at any given moment, and he’s lovingly reminded of it often, especially by offensive coordinator Garrick McGee. “He’s always giving me crap about being short,” Foster said

with a laugh. But what he doesn’t have in height, Foster makes up for with his voice, and other team leaders are taking notice — even on the other side of the ball. “Kendrick has been a guy for us who’s been consistent and is an emotional player and puts it all out there for us,” senior linebacker Hardy Nickerson said. “Any time you see a guy like that playing every down the way he does, guys feed off of it.” Although this is his first season as a full-time player, Foster has become the offense’s elder statesman in recent weeks. Upperclassmen like Wes Lunt and Malik Turner have gone down with injuries, opening the door for younger

offensive weapons to emerge. Perhaps stepping into the brightest spotlight has been sophomore quarterback Jeff George Jr., who notched his first career victory as a starter on Saturday. George — or JG3, as the pendant hanging from his glossy gold chain reads — said he’s been gaining more and more confidence with every snap. Having Foster lined up next to him certainly helps ease George’s nerves, especially since the two don’t only share the same backfield — they share the same roof. “We do so much together, being roommates,” George said. “Seeing it all pay off, and that camaraderie that we have off the field — to see it transfer onto the field is something special.

roommate when I see him succeed, it’s almost like I’m right there with him.” It was a celebratory Saturday night in the Foster-George household, which also includes sophomore defensive back Chris James and Watson, who won Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors after his 16-tackles performance Saturday. Watson and George have roomed together for the past two years, and Foster joined the fold at the beginning of this academic year. As Illinois’ unexpected backfield duo, a special bond has blossomed between George and Foster. Whether they’re kicking back around the house, grabbing a bite at Red Lobster every Thursday night or catching a movie to take their minds off football, the two have become almost inseparable off the field. And now that one of them is handing the ball off to the other, that connection is being showcased on the field, too. “It’s awesome,” Foster said. “We’re making memories that we can tell our children and grandchildren about.” Foster will be one of the few seniors playing offense for Illinois next season, and as his career winds down, he’ll be answering the same question he posed to the defense on Saturday. It’s pretty clear how Foster wants be remembered, though. “I’m just trying to be that spark plug and momentum-shifter in the game,” Foster said. “Don’t let the stature fool you. I’m about business.”

Foster has certainly solidified his spot as the team’s top back. His production over the last few games has been phenomenal, bringing him all the way up to second in terms of yards per carry in the Big Ten for those who have qualified. He is also fifth in all purpose yards per game and sixth in rushing touchdowns. He’s coming off of a huge game against Michigan State, in which he rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns. If he can keep his production up, the Illini will be in good shape to compete against this Wisconsin team.

The senior has rushed for over 100 yards in three of the Badgers’ last four games. Wisconsin has a career 11-1 record when Clement reaches the 100-yard plateau. Clement has amassed 805 yards and seven touchdowns on the season and has put up over 2500 yards over his career. He is aided by his powerful offensive line that has four players over 6-foot-6 and 314 pounds. Clement should have another 100-yard game against an Illini defense that has given up over 1700 yards on the ground this season.
Eye on the enemy: Badger receivers
Despite playing through some quarterback struggles, the Wisconsin receivers have managed to have a pretty successful season. Their quarterbacks have combined to throw 10 interceptions and just nine touchdowns, but the receivers have still produced at a solid clip, three separate receivers with more than 350 receiving yards on the season. The combination of Jazz Peavy, Troy Fumagalli and Robert Wheelwright will look to take advantage of an inexperienced Illinois secondary.
Eye on the Illini: Chase McLaughlin, kicker
Chase McLaughlin has been very good for the Illini this season, missing just three kicks. Last week he converted on his one opportunity, bringing him to 11-14 on the season. The sophomore knocked in a 42-yard field goal against Michigan State last week. His longest field goal is a 53-yarder earlier this season against Minnesota. McLaughlin has been a team strength all season and will look to continue putting up points against the Badgers this Saturday.

What would a successful fourth quarter look like for Illinois football? KEVIN MCCARTHY Football columnist
S
ports have always been a way for Americans to escape real life, even if just for a moment. In the midst of turmoil, heartache and day-to-day frustrations, we can flip on the television or head out to the ball park and sit back, crack a beer and enjoy. Sports bring us together. They unite us. It’s difficult to describe — and I won’t try to — but, if you’re reading this, I think you know what I mean. This is a sports page. So, for a moment, I hope you can enjoy reading about sports. The sun rose this morning, and assuming it also does in a few days, Illinois will play a football game Saturday. Head coach Lovie Smith talks about the football season in quarters. With three games left in their 12-game schedule, the Illini will enter the “fourth quarter” of their season on Saturday. The first three quarters have resulted in many emotions for Illini fans: tremendous excitement to start, followed by understandable disappointment and the eventu-
al acceptance of mediocrity. More than anything, these first three quarters have reminded us that the Lovie-project is a work in progress. Patience is a virtue. Illini fans have certainly learned that. Illinois would need to win each of its last three games in order to reach a bowl game. With about a snowball’s chance in hell of beating the Badgers on their home turf Saturday, any hope of a bowl game will likely fade away at Camp Randall this weekend. So, since a bowl bid is extremely unlikely, what would a successful “fourth quarter” look like for the Illini? Let’s examine.
Progression from Jeff George Jr.
The injuries to Chayce Crouch and Wes Lunt might have been blessings in disguise for the Illini’s future. As a result, we’ve gotten to see what the gunslinging George has to offer. Many still believe he will always live in the shadow of his father’s spotlight. That may be true, but still the redshirt freshman has given Illini fans reason to cheer these last few weeks. There is no doubt in my
mind that George has the “it” factor that people talk about — whatever that is. This guy loves to play football, is ultra-competitive and is a total gamer. I asked offensive coordinator Garrick McGee if he’ll try to “reign” his young quarterback in a bit. He didn’t even hesitate before answering, “no.” He loves the fire that the young man plays with. I do too. Not to mention, in a tight game in front of a packed house against Michigan State, George played honorably. Cool as a cucumber, he led the Illini to victory under pressure. There are still legitimate questions about his accuracy and decisionmaking, evidenced by a 42.3 completion percentage. If he maintains the ball security he showed against Michigan State and improves on his accuracy and decision-making, that would be huge for Illinois. Let’s see if he can continue to progress in these last few games. He needs to. Especially considering that it’s starting to look like No. 3 could be leading the Illini next season.

Nickerson has been instrumental this season and will likely be playing Sundays next year. son, Stanley Green, Julian Jones, and a host of others are making an unexpected impact on the defensive side of the football. For Illini fans, this should be very encouraging. Next year, this defense will lose some of its most important members. Hardy Nickerson, the team’s middle linebacker and on-field anchor will be gone, and edge rushers Dawuane Smoot and Carroll Phillips, both of whom are NFL talents, will move on to playing Sundays. It’s important that these young players continue Tatyana donated two racing chairs to teenagers in collaboration with the New York Road Runners and her foundation, the Tatyana McFadden Foundation. On Sept. 22, she taught children who were able-bodied and had impairments in Maryland how to use a racing wheelchair. “I’ve defi nitely seen athletes who have paved the way,” Tatyana, who serves on the Board of Directors for the Spina Bifida Illinois, said. “We need future athletes who have done the same … make this movement (of educating youth) happen.” Bleakney echoed Tatyana and said there is an even broader benefit to para-sports. “I think sport and disability sport directly attack the stigma associated with a disability, which is you are somehow weaker or unable, less than or inferior to your able-bodied peers,” he said. Wheelchair racing, specifically, he said, is a confidence booster for the
to develop while playing beside their more experienced teammates, and while it’s impossible to quantify what would be a “success” for the defense, I think it would be encouraging for Illini fans to see them grow.
One more win
Maybe it doesn’t matter. What’s the difference between a three-win season and a four-win season? Actually, I think it’s very important. Lovie and Co. seemed completely different with the media Monday than they’ve been all competitors. “When you get into racing and you’re moving at 10-12 mph faster than peers running, they can recognize this is… a show of strength and athleticism,” Bleakney said. “That’s a really powerful aspect of sport.” The world has become more aware of Tatyana’s stardom and para-sports as a whole. NBC broadcast a record 66 hours of the Rio 2016 Paralympics — nearly six more hours than its coverage of the London 2012 Paralympics. Illinois women’s wheelchair basketball coach Stephanie Wheeler participated in four-straight Paralympics. She said her family couldn’t watch the Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 Games on the Internet or TV, but they were able to watch her most recent gold medal win at Rio 2016. “When you look at it from purely a sociological perspective, when you see our athletes compete at a high level, I think it changes the way that you look at the gen-
year. Their spirits were lifted, and their energy was evident. They were happy to be playing football and wearing orange and blue. If Illinois could upset Northwestern in the fi nal week of the year, and keep the ‘Cats out of a bowl game, that would be quite the silver lining. And only then will we know who Chicago’s Big Ten Team really is.

The popularity of the Paralympics as a whole has grown over the years with 375 individuals competing in the 1963 Paralympics, compared with 4,350 para-athletes expected at the Tokyo 2020 Games. Although he said there is still room for improvement, Bleakney said he has noticed an increase in the awareness and popularity of para-sports. “I don’t stigmatize the disability,” he said. “I see it as part of my identity, and I value that and the experiences I’ve had because of a disability. I’ll say that to people, and they’ll say, ‘Well, if somebody gave you a pill and it would regenerate your spinal chord you wouldn’t take it?’ Of course I would take it, right? But that wouldn’t necessarily divorce me from all the wonderful experiences I’ve had.”

THE DAILY ILLINI | WWW.DAILYILLINI.COM
ON BASKETBALL
Decision day for Groce, his staff coming quickly MATT GERTSMEIER Illini Hoops Columnist
D
ecision day for America was Tuesday. After a long and grueling election season, it’s finally over. But for Illinois basketball, all eyes are on Nov. 13. Instead of going to the polls and voting, head coach John Groce and the Illini will be refreshing their Twitter feeds. Five-star recruit Kris Wilkes will be announcing his commitment this Sunday at 3:30 p.m. The wing from Indianapolis is deciding between three schools — Indiana, UCLA and Illinois. A commitment from Wilkes would be a dream come true for Illinois. Wilkes is ranked as the No. 18 player in the nation on 247sports.com and No. 14 on ESPN. Adding Wilkes to the Illini’s already impressive class of 2017 would make Illinois one of the top recruiting classes for next season. The only problem is Illinois seems like a long shot at this point. Wilkes’ crystal ball on 247sports.com includes 13 predictions from recruiting analysts and scouts. All 13 are forecasting a commitment to UCLA. According to his timeline on 247sports.com, Wilkes has accumulated four interactions with Indiana, three with UCLA and two with the Illini. These interactions include official visits, unofficial visits and inhome visits. Justin Albers, a blogger
who covers Indiana basketball, tweeted Nov. 1 that Wilkes had informed Illinois and Indiana that he was going to choose UCLA. There’s no way to confirm this, nor does Albers seem like a 100 percent credible source, but it’s out there. It’s hard to remain optimistic for Illinois’ chances at the Wilkes sweepstakes. But it’s not over until Wil-
Adding Wilkes to the Illini’s ... class of 2017 would make Illinois one of the top recruiting classes ... kes officially makes a decision. Buckle up. It’s time for a spin-zone. The Illini are a dream destination for Wilkes. How many freshmen can come into a program and immediately be looked upon as the go-to guy? Not many. At Illinois, Wilkes will be the go-to scorer. The Illini have six spots to fill for the class of 2017. UCLA has three seniors on this year’s roster, and Indiana only has one. Someone is going to have to step up for Illinois, and that could be Wilkes. If Wilkes goes to UCLA, he will be playing for Steve Alford, who will be entering his first season without coaching his son since 2012. Alford is bound to have a tough year missing
that father-son time he was so used to having. This phenomenon happened at Creighton after Doug McDermott graduated and the Blue Jays went 14-19 without Greg McDermott coaching his son. It also happened at LSU in 1971 when Press Maravich’s son Pete left the program. They went 10-16 that year. Rumor has it, Wilkes will be a one-anddone type player: He’s NBA-bound. Illinois can work with that. With the amount of injuries Illinois has experienced in recent years, some players don’t even make it a full season before getting shut down. Illinois can be considered a less than one-and-done school. College is a time for freedom. You are no longer living at home, and that’s a unique responsibility to experience. In terms of location, Illinois is the ideal destination for Wilkes. Indianapolis is about an hour car ride to Bloomington, Indiana. That’s too close. Indianapolis to Los Angeles is a 29-hour car ride or a four-hour plane ride. That’s too far. But Champaign is only a two-hour drive from Indianapolis. That’s the perfect distance away from home. Not too close to drive to on any given day, but not too far where going home seems impossible. Now that I look at it, Illinois’ glass might be more than half full.
