BY JOSEPH LONGO ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

In August of 2015, The Princeton Review designated the University as the top party school in America. A quick year later, the title has been passed to another Big Ten school: the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The University now claims the title as the No. 3 party school in the nation. During the 2015-2016 school year, the title as No. 1 dominated discussion on campus. Administrators, University police and students across campus all addressed the designation. However, the campus remained divided. While many students warmly embraced the title across social media, other commu-

nity members contested the ranking. Faculty and staff notably disagreed with the title. Robin Kaler, associate chancellor for public affairs, challenged the credibility of the rating. “This pseudo-ranking is nothing more than a promotion for Princeton Review,” Kaler wrote in an email. Kaler considers the ranking a disservice to students. “Whatever ranking they attach to us is insulting to our students, who are some of the brightest, most hard-working scholars anywhere,” Kaler said. In addition to number three party school, the University ranked highly on several Princeton Review lists.

Concurring with the party school designation, the University ranked seventh on the “Lots of Hard Liquor” and 10th on “Lots of Beer” list. The University was also named eighth for “Lots of Greek Life.” The Princeton Review also included the UI as one of the “Best 381 Colleges,” “Best Midwestern,” and “Colleges That Pay You Back.” Specifically, it ranked 24th on “Top 50 Green Colleges,” 20th on “Career Services” and fifth on “Best Athletic Facilities.” The Princeton Review did not immediately return request for comment.

A freshman’s perspective For Daniel Shim, fresh-

man in Engineering andLAS, it was this diversity of acclaim that led him to enroll in the University. He wanted a perfect mix of “social life, academics, campus and sports.” “When people are looking for schools, they’re not only looking for academics,” Shim said. “They want the experience, so they want to be able to have fun while they’re trying to learn.” A New Jersey native, Shim researched the social life at each of his top three schools: Villanova, The University of California-San Diego and the University of Illinois. “Academics was first, but the social — number one party school — kind of did play a factor,” Shim said.

Interim dean plans for uncertain future in Media BY MICHAEL SEMACA STAFF WRITER

With an uncertain future looming over the College of Media, Interim Dean Wojtek Chodzko-Zajko asked the College’s staff if it thought the college is the best it can be. Currently, the college is divided into three specific “units”— advertising, media and cinema studies and journalism. However, rumors suggesting drastic changes to the structure leave Media students and faculty feeling uneasy. Dean Chodzko-Zajko acknowledged these rumors in Thursday’s meeting. “There’s sort of an elephant in the room, and that is that there has been talk of units in the college exploring whether they would be better off in another organizational structure,” Chodzko-Zajko said. However, he tried to ease these fears at the planning meeting by saying there is absolutely no plan in place for such a change to occur. The faculty and staff selfevaluation is not going to cause an immediate decision on the matter, he said. “It’s fair to say that people have imagined a variety of possible different situations in the past,” Chodzko-Zajko

said. “But there are no proposals on the table right now about advertising or journalism or media and cinema studies going anywhere.” Chodzko-Zajko assigned the College of Media faculty and staff a reflection on the college’s current position and what can be done to maximize its success in the future. He asked that these reflections be submitted to him by Oct. 17. “We are exploring what’s in the best interest of the programs in the college right now,” Chodzko-Zajko said. “And I am confident that this exercise, in which the faculty have an opportunity to think about the growth and evolution of the college, will be an extremely significant factor in determining what happens.”

Looking for a student perspective Although repeatedly noting his interest in faculty opinions, Chodzko-Zajko did not request students’ thoughts. College of Media Student Senator Shani Benezra inquired about the possibility of creating a student committee on the matter. “I know we didn’t go deep

into the possible changes, but I’ve heard rumors of maybe putting advertising in the business college and things like that, so just hearing students if they feel that would be beneficial to them,” Benezra told Chodzko-Zajko. Chodzko-Zajko welcomed the opportunity for a future student committee. Benezra promised to create such a group. However, Benezra was not completely opposed to the idea of changing the structure of the College of Media. She acknowledged the college’s three majors’ paths are notably different. She noted her experience as a journalism student is entirely different from friends in the advertising program. “The fact that our education is very different, yet we’re all graduating from the College of Media,” Benezra said. “Maybe some things need to change there, but I don’t think that anyone wants to see this college dissolving.” Benezra particularly disliked the lack of available resources to College of Media students.

While the ranking factored in to Shim’s college decision, I-STAR University tour guides do not emphasize the title. Rhett Buchmiller, a tour guide and senior in LAS, said the Office of Admissions does not like the ranking. During open question panels, tour guides parlay a somewhat prepared response. He notes their answers are not scripted. “In training, they tell us

His go-to response often depends on the phrasing of the question. Like Kaler, Buchmiller notes the studies are not scientific and suggests that they can be skewed easily. Because of the University’s large student population, partying is inevitable, he said. However, he emphasized the other opportunities and interests available on campus.

CPM works to fix ‘teething problems,’ students left waiting BY ADAM KAZ STAFF WRITER

Like many other excited sophomores, Alexis Vasquez, in FAA, arrived in Champaign-Urbana on Aug. 19 eager to begin the year. However, when she entered her apartment bedroom she realized something major was missing. “I was a little freaked out,” she said. “Because I knew it was supposed to come furnished.” Aside from a desk and chair, her room contained no furniture. The room lacked major necessities like a bed and dresser. After calling the building’s owners, Campus Property Management, she eventually received a bed that evening. But she and her three roommates discovered other issues with their apartment as the days went by. Broken hinges and cabinets, moldy tables, a leaky bathroom and a microwave with a hole that caused food to catch on fire all cast a shadow on her daily life on campus. Michael Jay, director of public relations and communications at CPM, said the company occasionally fails to put in new furniture in apartments whose previous residents provided their own. “All I can say is I wouldn’t be truthful if I said we didn’t have some teething problems,” Jay said. “We had 600 to 800 apartments (where) people were moving in over two days. In that interim period we had

checked the apartments, cleaned them, replaced furniture as we could, and we couldn’t get to everything before move-in.” Although Jay couldn’t say exactly how many apartments had these issues, he believes this year’s move-in was “as good, if not better in some respects” than that of previous years. Vasquez was pleased with the speediness of her bed delivery, but she still lacks a dresser and is forced to put all her clothing on her bed as a makeshift replacement. The moldy tables were removed, but not replaced, and the four-bedroom apartment now has a new microwave. However, other issues still remain. Vasquez and her roommates have been routinely calling CPM to check on the status of their furniture. However, they have received vague responses. “‘We’re all constantly being told the same answer, ‘You’re on the list, you’ll be getting help soon.’ They don’t really give us the date and time, just ‘soon,’” Vasquez said. “We have to be home waiting for them to show up, but we never know when it’s going to happen.” All students can contact the Tenant Union if they have problems with their living situation. The Tenant Union staff work with the student and property company to come up with a solution. “Complaints are about how the landlord handles problems when they arise,” questions that come with it. However, as a student he does not care about the title. While he believes most students share this perspective, he noted a small percentage of students take the ranking seriously. “They’re not going to college to get an education; They’re going to college to have fun,” Buchmiller said .

A campus safety concern Part of the University’s notoriety as a party school stems from the annual Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day celebration held every March.

The exterior of a Campus Property Management apartment on Sept. 5. according to the Tenant Union’s website. “A valid complaint is one related to the landlord’s obligations under the law or under the terms of the lease.” Vasquez and her roommates have decided to weather out the issues rather than confront CPM with legal action. “I know my roommates have always joked around

about that. We’ve at least considered it,” Vasquez said. “We’ve been very frustrated, but I don’t think any of us are the confrontational type.” Vasquez believes this constant reliance on her roommates has brought the them closer together. Sharing a space together has affected all of them. They are closer together than they were last

year, she said. “Every now and again when I was off at class, my roommates would call for my dresser, and they’d like to know what’s going on with that. We all take turns,” Vasquez said. In the meantime, CPM has continued their efforts to help Vasquez and other frustrated students like her. Jay said there are three

trucks working all day with the single goal of fixing apartment mishaps and missing furniture. “There are some things that slip through the cracks,” Jay said. “But it is our responsibility to turn those around as quickly as possible.”

In recent years, the twoday weekend celebration has scaled down as a result of repeated liquor related emergency orders issued by previous Champaign mayors. Additionally, University police increased the number of officers patrolling the streets. As a result, 160 overall violations were issued to individuals during Unofficial last year. This is a slight increase from the 138 ordinance violations issued on Unofficial in 2015. For University of Illinois Police Department Spokesman Pat Wade, a discrepan-

cy exists between the party school notoriety and the toned down event. “That’s kind of what I’m saying about this whole party ranking; We don’t think it’s based in reality,” Wade said. Wade noted that the ranking did not impact UIPD operations last year. Instead, they always remain highly active in combating alcohol and partying violations. “We understand that they’re going to (party) and that’s totally fine, but we want them to do it in a way that’s safe for them and

safe for everybody else,” Wade said. Two other Big 10 schools ranked in the top 10 of the party school listing. Wisconsin-Madison ranked first and the University of Iowa ranked sixth. Wade noted partying and alcohol are common discussion between the Big 10 universities and all colleges. He said each year the Big 10 administrative campus law enforcement discuss alcohol and other campus safety-related concerns at the Big 10 chief conference. “We’re constantly talking to other campus safety

agencies about what they’re doing,” Wade said. “What are some of the best practices? “What are we doing well? What maybe we can approve on?” Regardless of the ranking, Wade said UIPD’s primary concern is to maintain and encourage the safety of students. “That’s not going to change by any ranking from some publication who’s trying to sell magazines,” Wade said.

MEDIA she noted the difficulty in booking the space because of high demand from media students. “Why is the College of Media not equipped with the most high end resources and technology for all of the College of Media to use?” she asked. “Right now, it just feels like we’re lacking.” She hoped that the interim dean takes into consideration the feelings of both the students and the professors, some of whom have called the college their home for decades. “[The professors] know how this college works; they know what works and what hasn’t,” Benezra said.

An old-time concern This is not the first time such a plan has been rumored in journalism Professor Eric Meyer’s 20 years at the University; Meyer claimed the new discussion is the third or fourth consideration. After the meeting, Meyer said he does not believe the current talk

of reorganizing the college will materialize any time soon. “It’s one of those things like cicadas: it comes back in various phases, and it usually does when someone’s unhappy with something,” Meyer said. “You have to figure out what the unhappiness is and

then resolve it.” Meyer speculated that the recent discontent results from ongoing budget issues that the state, and subsequently the University, faces. “As long as money is coming in, people are getting what they want, (and) things go OK,” he said. “When money’s getting tight, then people don’t get what they want, and then they start fighting over the scraps left over on the table. I think

that’s what’s happening right now.” Regardless, these are unique times for Meyer. During his tenure, the college has never had to search for a new permanent dean until now. Because of this, he refused to rule anything out. Meyer also acknowledged the tensions between the journalism and advertising departments stemming from different funding necessities. Journalism classes are typically smaller and more costly. Advertising classes are larger, thus generating more revenue. Meyer said former Dean Jan Slater thought the three units should exist based solely on their own earnings. However, ChodzkoZajko sees the situation differently. “[Dean Slater wanted] that there would be no cross subsidies, and the current dean does not believe that. Neither does the campus as a whole,” Meyer said. “That may resolve some things, but who knows about the rest of them?” semaca2@dailyillini.com

How to respect your roommates

t’s been a rough week for the Editorial Board. One of us had an awkward and literal run-in with a roommate’s naked boy-

friend. Another member woke up looking forward to enjoying her delicious blueberry Greek yogurt, but instead found that it had already been enjoyed by one of her roommates. And don’t get us started on the layer of dirty water with floating food chunks currently in our sinks. At the beginning of each school year, we all start out with good intentions. With new closet organizers and cleaning supplies courtesy of our moms, how could we not be the best roommates ever? But now that we are settled in and busy with school, work and clubs, it’s easy to fall into bad habits that negatively affect your living situation. We are all guilty of leaving the occasional dish in the sink, but here are some habits to avoid that can be downright disrespectful to your roomies. Keep your hands off of other people’s stuff. It’s pretty simple. Some of us have the luxury of our parents gracing us with money to spend on groceries. Some of us aren’t that lucky. Many students have to work long hours after a day of classes so that we can afford food for the week. There’s nothing wrong with asking a roommate for a taste of something when you see that they dabbled up quite a dinner with

some leftovers, but be courteous. Maybe work out a system where you can cook together and share certain ingredients. Just don’t be the person who secretly grabs someone else’s food and prays that the roommate doesn’t walk in when you have cake all over your face. Don’t be a slob. This is pretty self explanatory. Mom isn’t here anymore to clean up after you and make sure that all your things are where they should be. Clean your dishes when you’re done using them, or if you are in a rush, make sure to clean up when you get home. Yes, it might get annoying to remember to do this every time, but it creates a healthier environment. It also reduces the chances of having cockroaches crawling across the slice of pizza you left in the living room. But most importantly, think about those around you — your friend probably has no desire to see your significant other naked. Perhaps the guy in the apartment next to you has a huge exam tomorrow and is trying to rest during your loud party. Put yourself in other people’s shoes and think about what would make you upset or uncomfortable. Yes, we have to make sure to rise back to the No. 1 party school in the nation, but we also should be aware that we are an elite academic school as well. If we really want to be the best overall University in the land, then our students should follow these simple rules. It’s common courtesy.

sure nearly everyone on campus was aware of sorority formal recruitment this weekend. If you didn’t hear about it, you probably heard it — if the swarms of girls actually “rushing” from house to house didn’t give it away. I got the chance to talk to a lot of the freshmen girls coming through my house, and amidst the small talk, most of them were eager to tell me about their majors. But some seemed embarrassed to say that dirty word: “undeclared.” In a school with so many great programs, the Division of General Studies may not come to mind. But according to its website, “about 80 percent of first-year college students aren’t sure what they want to major in.” In the fall of 2015, more than a quarter of the University’s freshmen were enrolled in DGS. Yet many still feel inadequate because they don’t have a “plan.” As a sophomore with a

said “plan,” I don’t know the pressure of feeling like everyone else has it all figured out. My plan might change and I still feel uncertain about my future, but I at least feel the security of having decided on a major, something some undeclared students don’t experience because of societal demands. The pressure to know exactly what you want to do with your life doesn’t start in college. Most high schoolers don’t even know what they’re going to eat for lunch, much less where they will be spending the next four years of their lives. But we were still expected to know what to do with ourselves from the age of 16 or 17. In freshman year of high school, we started preparing for the ACT, a test that we were told would either make or break our futures. And of course AP classes were shoved down our throats because if we didn’t take them, we wouldn’t get any college credit, we would fall behind at college and then we would have to drop out. We had to know what we wanted to major in by our junior year because

how would we know what AP classes to take if we didn’t? How would we know what clubs we should join and what electives we should sign up for and what kind of summer job we should have to impress college admissions officers? The point is that being undeclared doesn’t mean that you don’t have a plan. Taking a variety of courses through DGS is a great way to navigate your first semesters of college and fi nd a path that works for you. Also, just because you have picked out a major doesn’t mean it’s permanent. Over 50 percent of college students change their major at least once according to the DGS website. Don’t think that you have to stick with a major if you realize it’s not for you. Don’t let the voices from high school advisers and ACT tutors spoil your college experience for you or make you feel inadequate for going against the grain. It might be a “major” decision, but don’t let it ruin your future.

Appreciate fall by enjoying C-U outdoor locations, events DA YEON EOM Opinions columnist

tarbucks announced the return of the beloved pumpkin spice latte on Sept. 1. For many, this news, and the end of Labor Day weekend, signifies the official start of the fall season. It’s finally the time of Halloween, colorful leaves and Champaign’s abrupt transition from the Sahara Desert to the North Pole. The blissful sentiment of fall won’t last long. Those who’ve spent the last couple of years at the University would agree that the comfortable temperatures of spring and fall are moments to be cherished. Students would be wise to take advantage of this period and enjoy unique seasonal activities on and off campus. If you signed up for various organizations on Quad Day, your email inbox should be flooded with invitations to tours and group activities throughout Champaign-Urbana. These events provide perfect opportunities to make new friends and create some of your favorite college

memories. One of the most popular locations to enjoy fall is the Curtis Apple Orchard. Students can roam free in the Orchard and de-stress from the fast-approaching gloom of midterms. Along with the experience of walking along the apple trees and stepping on crunchy leaves, you can bring home some apple butter and other goods to support the Curtis family business. Another typical University fall activity is to attend your favorite RSO’s barn dance. The October Lovers club hosts many activities that are seasonally appropriate, but their barn dance is perhaps the most popular on campus. Other organizations, such as UIUC Zagloba Polish Club, host their own barn dances, which sell out within hours. They are excellent occasions to get away from the usual party scenes on the campus and have fun in the middle of corn fields. If you wish to enjoy the crisp fall evening, a good way to spend the night would be making s'mores or having a barbecue at the Illini Grove. The location, right next to PAR and FAR, is convenient

Columnist Da Yeon Eom encourages students to explore the community while the weather is still nice. for students to get an outdoor feel without having to travel far. Take a pumpkin spice latte or hot chocolate to keep you warm as you enjoy a late night picnic or afternoon snack. Everyone can use the area as long as cleanup is done responsibly and the music isn’t too loud. Lastly, trying out escape rooms in downtown Urbana or Champaign can be an adventure as you try to get

out of the themed rooms by solving mysteries. The activity should take about an hour, and it will make you feel exhilarated when you successfully get out of the chamber at the end. There will be new themed rooms added this fall, and it will be a great experience to share with a group of friends. If you’re already convinced that you will be stuck in the libraries to

cram for quizzes and exams for the rest of the season, trying out different types of fall-themed coffees at Espresso Royale, Kopi and other cafes in the area might cheer you up. There are definitely more flavors to fall than pumpkin spice, and it would be a shame to miss any of it if you’re a coffee addict. Even walking around the campus to witness the Main Quad’s changing col-

ors is a great way to enjoy the altering temperature and scenery. No matter how you choose to spend your fall on campus, it’s important to look up from studying once in awhile to witness and expose yourself to this short, yet delightful time of the year.

Students struggle to balance school and campus jobs BY MARA SHAPIRO STAFF WRITER

Sixty hours of work a week, divided between bartending at Brothers Bar and Grill and working at the Champaign Country club, is no easy task, especially for Sindi Morsches, junior in LAS. “I usually sleep about three or four hours a day,” Morsches said. After a difficult spring semester balancing both school and work, Morsches has decided to take this semester off of school and focus primarily on work. According to Dan Mann, Director of Student Financial Aid, around 30 percent of University students have on-campus jobs, which earn nearly 20 million dollars annually. Mann explained that there are many benefits to being a working student. “Besides earning funds, student employees tend to have higher GPAs and graduation rates. They are gaining work experience that can be added to their résumés which is viewed very favorably by future employers and are also developing time management skills,” Mann wrote in an email. “Student employees are also developing relationships with University staff who often serve as a mentor while on campus and someone who might serve as a future reference.” However, Morsches explained there can be some frustrations that

come with supporting oneself through campus jobs. “I have to count every dollar I have, and I can’t go out and frivolously spend money like my other friends. And if I’m broke, they don’t understand why because ‘I work two jobs, so I should be rich,’” Morsches wrote. “But they don’t realize that 70 percent of my money goes toward school, with the other 25 percent going to rent and such and the last 5 percent being for food and other necessities.” According to Morsches, friends will ask her why she doesn’t have her parents pay for her college, but Morsches doesn’t want to be a burden on them, hence why she has taken it upon herself to pay her own way. Mann stated that it is common for families to struggle to pay for college, but he encourages students to use the Office of Student Financial Aid as a support system. “It is not unusual for students and families to indicate that they face challenges paying for their education. This is a nationwide concern. The Office of Student Financial Aid would encourage students and families to consider all types of fi nancing options available which includes grants, scholarships, loans and work,” Mann wrote. “In addition, students are encouraged to establish a realistic budget, spend wisely, track expenses and look for ways to reduce discretionary costs.”

HANNAH AUTEN THE DAILY ILLINI

Many students work jobs at popular campus establishments to cover the cost of their college tuition and other expenses. Mann also wrote that the Office of Student Financial Aid has a virtual job board that students can utilize to make the job hunt easier. Michael Russelle, Financial Solutions Advisor at Merrill Edge, specializes in student loans. He explained that a student’s mindset makes fi nancial situations easier. “A lot of what I’ve been sharing with clients, with families, with students, is to focus on their experi-

ence, to focus on what they can do and keep a positive attitude about it,” Russelle said. He added that though student debt statistics can be intimidating, if the student has a positive attitude, they can overcome student debt. Russelle advises students to set a budget and have the discipline to live within those means. To Morsches, it is important that students under-

stand their limits and take care of themselves. “Having money isn’t worth sacrificing your mental and physical health,” she said. Mann wrote that student employees are essential for campus success. “Student employees are an important human resource of the university and are crucial for maintaining the day-today operations in our oncampus offi ces, depart-

ments and laboratories as well as performing community service work with our approved off-campus agencies,” Mann wrote. “The collective talents, creativity and dedication of our student employees are immeasurable. The efforts and varied contributions of our student employees to our campus are truly appreciated.”

BUZZ

Emily Blue finds strength, speaks up and goes solo on new album BY RYAN GRAVES STAFF WRITER

After releasing a Kickstarter for her newest musical project, we decided to catch up with Emily Blue, local musician involved with well-known bands Tara Terra and BOYCUT. We wanted to see exactly what was setting her off the path to create a solo album. buzz: What pushed you to create this solo album? Inspirations?

Emily Blue: Well, this album is unfortunately a result of certain traumatic experiences in my life. “Another Angry Woman” stems from the silence surrounding some of those experiences, namely sexual abuse and gendered violence, that I continue to deal with emotionally on a day to day basis. The fi rst song I wrote for this record is called “Boys” and it was a very cathar-

tic expression of some of those experiences. When I wrote it I remember feeling like it was the fi rst time I’d been honest in some of my songs for probably years, and I think that people will be quick to pick up on that when they hear the record. Breaking my own personal silence, and breaking the silence of rape culture altogether. bu zz: C ol laboration seems to be growing with you and the CU music scene. Did this album stay true to that pattern? EB: I think I owed it to myself to prove that I could do something alone, to express something just the way I felt it and rely solely on my own abilities. I ended up playing most of the instruments on the songs, including drums which I’m pretty proud of. The only song that I didn’t arrange was “No Pain,” and that’s because I wanted a little poppier of a sound which Joe Meland (my friend and partner in crime) is really great at pulling off. He does the production for BOYCUT and has mixed

or produced a few local records. I love him dearly, and appreciate the work that he put into this record. James Treichler did the engineering for it, and he’s very talented and great to work with. buzz: What would you say writing this album has done for you on a personal note? EB: On a personal note, I’d say this album made me get to know myself. As a writer, as a human being, as an activist. I learned to stop doubting myself constantly because the things I was writing about were important both to me and to others. I learned that music can be part of a bigger journey in my life, in healing. During the fi lming of “No Pain,” I met so many survivors who reminded me that I was not alone. buzz: Has writing a solo album affected any of your other projects? Has it helped to influence or mold anything you’re working on with others? EB: I think that this solo album has opened my eyes a little bit, in terms of

being an authentic writer and performer. In all my projects now, I am more comfortable just being who I am. I am more confident that my perspective will reach others because I’ve realized, especially through making the “No Pain” music video, that everyone’s gone through something. Everyone needs to hear a song now and then and go, “Hey, I’ve felt that before. I connect to this as a human being.” So with Tara Terra, for example, we just played a Sofar St. Louis show, and I was fi nally comfortable telling some personal stories to the audience. We were all laughing and talking in this hair salon together, playing music and learning about one another. I think that’s what we’re meant to do as people, connect emotionally I mean. buzz: Did you continue to work with people you’ve worked with in the past, or did you feel that you needed to branch out? EB: Yes, James and Joe are sort of my go to guys as far as recording. I also

work with Colin Althaus from Tara Terra and Rick Fritz from Audiotree, who are also stellar, but for this project I wanted an indie pop sound so I did what I thought was best to make that happen. buzz: How does the sound of this album differ from those of your other projects? EB: Well, it’s sort of a mix of everything that I like. There are certainly guitars, there is electronic percussion at times, so it’s kind of a hybrid of sorts. Tara Terra’s new stuff is full-on rock band with more atmospheric elements, and BOYCUT is straight up synth pop. So this record is just my own personal taste. I played a lot of piano on it and thought about making the vocals stand out as well. buzz: What’s the name of the album? Release date? Any other details (music videos, release show dates, etc)? EB: “Another Angry Woman.” Release date TBA, Oct/Nov.

Remembering Joyce Curtis In Memoriam Joyce Day Curtis April 23, 1935 - Sept. 2, 2016

BY ANNABETH CARLSON STAFF WRITER

Editor's note: This story originally ran in the Oct. 8, 2014 edition of The Daily Illini and is being re-printed in memory of Joyce Curtis. She passed away on Sept. 2 at 81 years old. To most people in the Champaign-Urbana area, the Curtis Orchard is a successful apple orchard and pumpkin patch business. But to co-owner Joyce Curtis, it is much more than that. It is a place where she used to raise confi ned hogs with her husband of 58 years, Paul. It is a place where she works alongside her children, grandchildren and even in-laws. It is a place to make her famous secret-recipe apple “doughnuts.” Simply put, it is her home. On Friday afternoon, Joyce walked through the orchard’s country store, wearing a crisp red apron with the Curtis Orchard logo and pearlbeaded glasses around her neck. She watched as family members and student employees bustled around, helping customers navigate the sweetsmelling store fi lled with seasonal antiques, jars of pumpkin butter, dessert mixes, hot and cold cider and of course — apple doughnuts. In passing, a lady holding a white chihuahua stopped to say hello and continued to the checkout with her fall fi nds. With a mischievous smirk, Joyce murmurs, “Dogs are not supposed to be in here.” October is the busiest season at the Curtis Orchard. The business is now 37 years old and thriving, but Joyce remembers a time when the piece of land was very different. It all began when she was a student at the University in 1954, when tuition was only $60 a semester. One summer, Joyce decided to stay on campus to attend summer school, and it was then that she met her husband Paul. Both her brother and Paul were members of the FarmHouse Fraternity, but Curtis said she met Paul one day in the summer at McBride’s Drug Store. “But not through my brother, however!” she said matter-of-factly. “He came in there and he said, ‘Aren’t you Jim’s sister?’

ANNABETH CARLSON THE DAILY ILLINI

Joyce Curtis stands in her apple shop, holding a box of her signature apple doughnuts. And I said yes, and so from then on we just hit it off.” Joyce and Paul were married in 1956 in her hometown Bement, Illinois, 25 miles south of Champaign. Joyce said the couple was gifted 80 acres of land (which is now the Curtis Orchard) by Paul’s parents and began married life as farmers of confi ned hogs, corn and beans. However, this did not last, Joyce said. “We saw that the subdivision was encroaching on us, and we knew we couldn’t continue that because (the hogs) don’t smell good,” she said. In addition to farming, Curtis said Paul was a horticulture professor at Parkland Community College for 21 years. While there, she said he

had an advisory committee that brought him in contact with the Eckert family who own Eckert’s farm, a business in Southern Illinois with pick-your-own apples and pumpkins. She said her and Paul visited Eckert’s and two years later, they fi nally got up the nerve to open their own apple orchard. She said that everything they had from the farm and Parkland was invested into the orchard. “I remember that fi rst year there was a drought and (Paul) bought rubber hoses and I spent all day out watering every tree and we only lost three,” she said. Despite the challenges of starting the orchard, Joyce said it was much better than the couple’s previous farm.

“Apples go to sleep. Hogs don’t!” she said. Joyce said during the fi rst year, they planted a large amount of every kind of apple. They now have a variety to choose from including Red Delicious, Jonathan, Fuji and Golden Delicious. She said her personal favorite is Fuji because they are sweet. But she said she also likes making applesauce with Golden Delicious apples because they are sweet and make a beautiful sauce without any sugar. Applesauce is not the only thing Joyce can make. She is known around the area for her apple doughnuts. After attending meetings in the winter with other orchards, Joyce got the idea to open a

bakery and café, where she sells the homemade doughnuts. While she couldn’t reveal much about the doughnuts because it is a secret recipe, she did say they are made of an apple crisp batter. She said they are hard to make because of the doughnut equipment. “You have to make the batter, and you can’t have it too soupy,” Joyce said. “The plunger that pushes the doughnut batter out has three connections of three holes in it and these holes have to be fi lled with batter in order to get a full-sized doughnut out. If not, you have to start all over.” When the doughnuts are fi nished, Joyce said they are dipped in cinnamon sugar. Sometimes they are dipped in icing

as well but that takes longer, she said, and they have three fans to cool them. Joyce said most people, such as teachers and children, like the cinnamon sugar apple doughnuts the best. They are especially popular because they are free of trans fat and do not come in contact with peanuts, she said. Personally, she said she likes her doughnuts warm and will heat them up in the microwave. Throughout her career, Joyce has baked the doughnuts and other desserts, like pies, as well as kept track of all of the business’ book work. Now that she is semiretired, Joyce said her main focus is paying the bills. However, she still helps with baking and overseeing the orchard and store as needed. Joyce said her favorite part is working with family including her son, Chris Curtis. Chris said the best part of working with his mom is drawing upon both of his parents’ farming experience and business entrepreneurship. “Obviously, with the crowds here, we are doing something right, and drawing upon their tips (of) how they run things; it’s invaluable,” he said. “It’s almost like a high level internship.” Chris also said he appreciates the way his mom holds the business together. “During the fall it can be a little hectic and unnerving with the crowds and can be hard to keep your head above water, but mom does a great job of keeping things organized.” Joyce said she is looking forward to her family’s annual get-together and potluck after the busy fall season, in addition to seeing parents take pictures of their kids with the orchard’s signs, which say how tall the children are. Paul said that the orchard is like the television show “Captain Kangaroo," because it has a different generation coming on all the time. “Now, we have not only the adults, but they’ve gotten married and have children and bring their children out,” Joyce said. This fall, people will come and go from the orchard, making memories with their families. Joyce will be doing the same with hers.

Coaches reflect on season home opener BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER

Illinois football fans were not the only ones who got their first taste of what the Lovie Smith era would bring to the University during Saturday’s opener against Murray State. Smith and his right-hand men — offensive coordinator Garrick McGee and defensive coordinator Hardy Nickerson — finally got a taste of the game day atmosphere around Memorial Stadium, too. The official attendance numbers tallied 48,644 people — the most for an Illinois home opener since 2010 when Illinois hosted Southern Illinois. “Our fans were outstanding,” Smith said. “It was my first walk down Grange Grove, and there was a lot of energy outside that was brought into the stadium. It gave us momentum right away.” The game against Murray State was the first for Smith in the college ranks since the 1996 Citrus Bowl when he was an assistant at Ohio State. McGee, on the other hand, has now been in the college game for 19 out of the 20 years he has been coaching. McGee said he doesn’t get caught up in his surroundings when he is on the sideline. He focuses on the next play he is going to call for his team. He doesn’t think about the atmosphere until after the game is over. “When you are down there and in the middle of it, you try to stay away from all of it,” McGee said. “But after

the game I always ask my wife about what the atmosphere is like.” Fans had plenty to cheer about during the game; Illinois scored three touchdowns from over 50 yards. However, it was Nickerson’s defense that kept the energy before the game going right to the end. The Illini defense intercepted Murray State’s KD Humphries twice in the first two drives of the game. A fumble recovery later in the game was the third and final takeaway of the day for the Illini defense. Just like McGee, Nickerson’s focus stays on the game, but he was aware of the impact the fan turnout had on what was happening on the field. “When you are calling the next play and you are into the ballgame, you hear the fans,” Nickerson said. “It was great to see a lot of our guys make big plays and get the fans into the ballgame.”

Smoot struggles in first game In his first game of his highly anticipated senior season, defensive end Dawuane Smoot did not exactly fill up the box score. He only recorded one tackle Saturday, and that one was assisted. This preseason, Smoot was named on the Lombardi Award (player of the year) watch list, the Bednarik Award (defensive player of the year) watch list and the Hendricks Award (defensive end of the year) watch list. Smith told Smoot in his

He played a good game Saturday, but that is not the best game you will see him play.

I have a higher standard for him than that.” Smoot also picked up three penalties for the Illini, including a roughing the kicker called that gave the Racers the ball back after they punted it away on fourth down. Smith said that the Illini

picked up too many penalties — seven total — but he isn’t worried about the penalties Smoot and his teammates picked up. “I am not going to try and keep him under control,” Smith said. “The more the better. We won’t try to pull back from any of our play-

ers that have that energy, but there are certain times where we expect them to contain that energy whether it be not being offsides or knowing how aggressive to be.”

CHARLOTTE CARROLL Sports Editor

ovie Smith officially became an Illini on Saturday when he joined his players on the field in front of the student section to sing “Alma Mater” after his team defeated Murray State. Sandwiched between offensive lineman Joe Spencer and tight end Bobby Walker, he looked slightly confused about what exactly was happening, but the players led him through the tradition. And soon enough, I think he’ll get the hang of it. It was a perfect moment of college football for Smith, with athletes and students mixing together, celebrating a win. The song capped off a day that was a welcome relief for Illini fans and a warm welcome for the new coach.

After months of speculation and non-stop talk, Smith finally coached his first game as an Illini. The Lovie era started with a win and the most fans, with 48,644 in attendance, at an Illinois home opener since 2010 when Ron Zook was at the helm. But it didn’t feel like previous victories, even if it was against the typical “cupcake” team. These early games obviously function as a relatively easy start to the schedule. And while that same warm-up remained this year, it was the start of something new in Illinois football. Finally. Last Saturday was a whole different atmosphere. It was a stark change from the season opener a year ago when fans were simply excited, like the start to every season. But now the cloud hovering over Memorial

was gone. There was a tangible anticipation. Block I was almost full before kickoff. Grange Grove was packed with families and students tailgating. I had friends who hadn’t been to a football game since freshman year that decided to make the journey out as seniors. Fans were rewarded with a glimpse at, perhaps, the winning future of Illinois football. It will likely not be this season, but there’s a sense of hope that’s been lacking in years past. The players looked proud to take the field, with Julian Hylton snagging an interception on Murray State’s second play of the game to the delight of the crowd. Then Taylor Barton got the next Illinois interception on Murray State’s following possession. Smith called takeaways the “winning edge.” He

said that while many talk about getting them, his players believe it. And “that’s the first step to get our guys to buy into it,” he added. Smith was talking specifically about takeaways, but his message is applicable to his team and the Illinois program as a whole. They gave fans a taste of the future with this win, with students and alumni eager to believe that Lovie is the much needed change the program needs. And come next game, there will surely be more fans in the stands, looking to catch a glimpse of that change. “It’s a good day for the Smith family to say the least,” Lovie said after the game. The same can be said for Illini fans.

organ Park High School’s first two days of school were teacher institute days on Sept. 1 and 2. While those might seem like

an ordinary last couple of days off before the conclusion of summer, they were much more than that for Ayo Dosunmu. For the four-star guard, those days were the official start of his junior year and off-campus contact recruiting. Illinois basketball

head coach John Groce hasn’t wasted any time with the 6-foot-3-inch guard from Chicago. Dosunmu spent this past weekend in Champaign on an unofficial visit with Illinois. Dosunmu was spotted at the Illinois football game against Murray State

with his father, Groce and other members of the basketball staff including Director of Player Development Dee Brown. This weekend’s visit has shown a shift of attention to the class of 2018. The Illini

5. Nebraska — On a night when they remembered punter Sam Foltz with a special on-field tribute, the Cornhuskers pulled away from Fresno State for a 43-10 win. Seven different Nebraska runners combined for 292 yards on the ground. 6. Michigan State — The previously No. 12 Spartans held a 21-13 lead late against Furman, but pulled away to avoid a major upset. The MSU offense is off to a slow start, totaling just 51 more passing yards than Furman on Friday. 7. Illinois — The Illini fired on all cylinders in Lovie Smith’s debut with a 52-3 rout of Murray State. They immediately showed Smith’s ballhawking mentality — Illinois capped off its first two defensive possessions with interceptions. 8. Penn State — Penn State got a good start from second-year quarterback Trace McSorley in a win on Saturday, and managed a 33-13 victory over Kent State. 9. Minnesota — The Gophers sealed a convincing 30-23 win over Oregon State with a defensive stand on the final drive of the game. Running back Rodney Smith led the way with 125 yards on the ground. 10. Indiana — The usually defensively impaired Hoosiers reeled in three interceptions — two for touchdowns — in their 34-13 victory over FIU. Devine Redding ran for 135 yards. 11. Maryland — Maryland’s new-look offense amassed over 500 total yards in its 52-13 drubbing of Howard. Six different Terrapin rushers accumulated at least 40 yards on the ground. 12. Northwestern — Pat Fitzgerald’s team up north stumbled out of the gates with a 22-21 loss to Western Michigan, which is one of the top teams in the MAC and Illinois’ Week Three opponent. 13. Purdue — Darrel Hazell’s squad quickly dispatched Eastern Kentucky with a 45-24 win. The Boilermakers don’t play FCS teams every week, though, so the wins will be harder to come by in later weeks. 14. Rutgers — Chris Ash faced a tough test against No. 14 Washington in his coaching debut, and it showed with a 48-13 loss. No Rutgers runner eclipsed 70 yards, while no receiver totaled more than 60 yards.

Illinois falls to Colorado in marathon match BY JACOB DIAZ STAFF WRITER

The second and final match of the Big Ten/PAC-12 challenge for the Illinois volleyball team ended similarly to its first match; a close fiveset defeat. While there were parallels that could be drawn between Saturday’s thriller against No. 9 Stanford and Sunday’s marathon match against Colorado, the matches still had differences. In both matches, the Illini

lost sets one and three but won sets two and four. The Buffaloes had momentum going in their favor heading into the match, coming off a win against Penn State on Saturday. The momentum held, with Colorado consistently finding holes in the Illini defense. On the other side of the ball, the Illini offense looked out of sync and had trouble killing off points. The second half was much more of a contest, as the Illi-

ni defense picked up behind the efforts of senior Katie Stadick and sophomore Ali Bastianelli. Coach Kevin Hambly turned away from the usual suspects to create more points offensively and found success in Bastianelli and sophomore setter Jordyn Poulter. Bastianelli took more swings against Colorado than she had in any other match this season, and she did so only a day after her record-setting defensive

performance against Stanford. Finishing with 10 kills on 21 attempts, she had the highest hitting percentage of any Illini who took more than 15 swings. Poulter also had a standout performance that night. Playing in front of her family in her home state of Colorado, the Aurora native set a career high with nine kills. Poulter, the centerpiece of the Illini offense, has had a strong passing and high hitting percentage this season.

After trading sets into the fifth, neither team could pull away from the other on the way to 15 points. Eventually it was the Buffaloes that forced the first match point, but the Illini did not give up and rallied back to even the match at 14. Colorado and Illinois continued to trade points back and forth, forcing six match points before Colorado finally won, 19-17.

Illini fall short in weekend road matches against TCU, Texas A&M BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER

The Illinois soccer team headed down to Texas this weekend to take part in one of its toughest road trips of the season. Illinois lost 2-1 to undefeated TCU on Friday night in the Horned Frogs’ home opener and then fell 2-0 to No. 14 Texas A&M. “Despite the outcome (Sunday), we showed ourselves the level of soccer we can play,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “We got better this weekend… we showed improvements in each half we played.” The Illini lost both of their matches last weekend on a road trip to Missouri, falling to Missouri and Saint Louis. Illinois played stronger and more consistent soccer this weekend, but it wasn’t enough to come out with wins in the Lone Star State. Illinois fell behind early against TCU. The Horned Frogs entered the match coming off a 6-0 victory against Lamar and carried that success into Friday night. Junior Emma Hackendorn scored a goal in the second minute to give TCU the lead. The Illini came out strong in the second half, putting up 16 shots to TCU’s five. In the 56th minute, a well-placed corner kick was put in by senior Taylore Peterson for her first goal of the season. While the Illini put offensive pressure on TCU the entire second half, the

Horned Frogs earned a penalty kick in the 73rd minute that Kayla Hill put in for the game winner. The win gave TCU its first 4-0 start in program history. Illinois traveled to College Station, Texas, on Sunday to face off against No. 14 Texas A&M. The Aggies returned 10 of 11 starters from last season and entered the game without allowing a goal in their last 188 minutes of play. They extended that streak to 278 minutes with a 2-0 victory over the Fighting Illini. “That team was good enough to beat us if we didn’t come out and have a solid night,” Texas A&M head coach G Guerrieri. “Janet Rayfield is one of the most respected and intellectual coaches out there.” The Illini were on the attack early on and didn’t allow a shot from the Aggies until the 21st minute, but in the 23rd minute, Texas A&M’s leading scorer Haley Pounds put in her fourth goal of the season to give her team the lead. Pounds then assisted on the Aggies’ second goal from Jordan Hill in the 60th minute. The Illini put up an offensive push throughout the second half, outshooting Texas A&M 7-3, but they couldn’t manage to put one in. Sophomore Patricia George, who scored her first goal against Missouri last weekend, was the Illini’s

strongest offensive threat, with three shots and two on goal. Illinois created much more offensive pressure this weekend despite the two losses. After being outshot 40 -16 on their Missouri trip, the Illini outshot their opponents 31-23 in Texas. Going into the weekend, Rayfield stressed the importance of an attacking mindset. The Illini responded with opportunities but weren’t able to put in enough to come away with wins.

Illini in Texas

Summary: Illini lose third and fourth straight to fall to 2-4 on the year. This is their worst start in recent history. This is the first time the Illini have ever lost four straight nonconference matches. Key player: Taylor Peterson: scored first goal of the season on a corner kick Quote of the Match: “Despite the outcome tonight, we showed ourselves the level of soccer we can play,”head coach Janet Rayfield Up next: VS. Miami (OH) 9/9 7:00 P.M. @ Illinois Soccer Stadium

The Illini scored 52 points Saturday to beat the Racers. Illini quarterback Wes Lunt dissected the Racer defense early, throwing for 226 yards and three touchdowns before he was pulled in the third quarter. A good chunk of those passing yards came on a 68 yard touchdown pass to Malik Turner — a career long for both players. But this Murray State team wasn’t known for their defense entering the game, and running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn’s struggles were more concerning than Wes Lunt’s successes were pleasing. Vaughn was handed the ball 17 times but only ran for 49 yards. Vaughn is a focal point for this Illini offense, and the fact that he was not able to find any holes today should raise concerns for the Illini staff, especially since his backup Kendrick Foster was able to bust out two 56-yard touchdown runs in the game. Foster’s play should not be overlooked. His 118 rushing yards led the team, and his two touchdowns stretched the Illini lead even further before half time. If Vaughn had been able to average a few more yards per carry, it would’ve been a picture perfect start to the season for the Illini offense.

Defense: A Entering Saturday’s game, KD Humphries was the active leader for most yards per game with 262.2. The Illini held Humphries to 152 yards, which includes his -12 rushing yards. But Humphries wasn’t the only Murray State player getting stopped behind the line of scrimmage. The Illini defensive line destroyed the Racers all day, holding their opponents to -10 rushing yards. Linebacker Hardy Nickerson played up to expectations in his Illini debut. The graduate transfer led the Illini with 11 total tackles — eight of which were solo. Defensive end Dawuane Smoot had a rough game, recording one tackle and picking up three penalties for the Illini. The Illini sacked Racers’ quarterbacks six times on the day. The real surprise though was the secondary. Strong safety Julian Hylton and free safety Taylor Barton recorded back to back picks for the Illini on the Racers’ first two drives of the game. They also kept Murray State from pulling off any big plays. The Racers only had one drive go for more than 50 yards.

Special teams: AIf it weren’t for a block in the back, Illini punt Darius Mosely would have ran a punt back over 60 yards for a touchdown. But even without, the Illini special teams had a solid game. There was nothing flashy that counted, but Murray State did not have any huge kick returns all day. Illini punter Ryan Frain averaged 43.0 yards per punt. Overall, it was a solid but uneventful day for the Illini special teams.

Coaching: A

Lovie Smith has officially coached a game as head coach of Illinois football. This is real. His defensive philosophy seemed to work, with the Illini’s three takeaways putting the offense in a good position each time. Garrick McGee’s offense seemed to be clicking, and if Ke’Shawn would’ve played better, it would’ve looked great. There is the expression, keep your timeouts in your back pocket, and Smith seemed to use that as a code to live by for this game. He did not use any of his first half timeouts until there was a minute left in the second quarter. They also played a lot of the true freshman, and pretty much everybody saw time on the field for the Illini

FROM 1B

DOSUNMU have not received any commitments for the class of 2018 but have some high-caliber targets – Dosunmu being towards the top of that list. Dosunmu is ranked No. 34 in the nation and is the best player in the state. He is a five-star recruit and ranked No. 20 in the nation. Despite only playing two seasons of high school ball so far, he has already proven himself as an outstanding player. Last season, he played as a sophomore in the backcourt alongside Illinois’ 2016 Mr. Basketball Charlie Moore. Together, they brought Morgan Park to the Super-Sectionals of the IHSA state tournament. As an underclassman, Dosunmu has demonstrated confidence on the court. He’s quick and has handles that make defenders wish they had a different defensive assignment. There are many clips of him crossing up defenses and making opponents look silly trying to stop him. If you’re still not sold on his speed and ball handling skills, just go on YouTube and search “Ayo Dosunmu makes defender do the splits.” He also possesses great court vision. Dosunmu always has his head up and constantly searches for the open man. His point guard skills would be a great addition to a team that is composed of a lot of shooters. With his ability to fly down the court in a controlled manner, most of his scoring comes from driving to the cup. He can extend his range with his jump shot, but analysts suggest that outside shooting might be an area he needs to improve on. Another area that may be improved is his

strength. Listed only above 160 pounds, his weight could be an issue at the next level even though his speed has helped him get away with a smaller stature in high school. With his junior and senior seasons, as well as the possibility of a redshirt season, he will have plenty of time to get bigger, so it shouldn’t be a huge problem. What might be a big problem is scholarship space. Next year, Illinois will not be graduating any seniors on scholarship, and there are currently two scholarships remaining for the class of 2017. There has been speculation as to whether those scholarships will be used to continue building next year’s No. 3 class: There are still quite a few targets for those remaining spots, including power forward Mayan Kiir and small forwards Abu Kigab and Kris Wilkes. Kigab and Wilkes are both scheduled for official visits in September. If the two remaining scholarships are not fi lled for the class of 2017 and instead pushed back to the class of 2018, then the pursuit for Dosunmu would be a great opportunity for Illinois. He has spent this summer taking unofficial visits to Notre Dame, Northwestern, Xavier and Cincinnati. He’s received 13 offers including Illinois, UNLV, Creighton, Marquette and St. John’s. While it’s still uncertain as to what will happen with roster spots for the class of 2018, Dosunmu needs to stay as a top priority for Groce.

WOMEN’S CROSS-COUNTRY

Branch leads team to third place finish BY MIKE GASICK ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

Denise Branch toed the starting line of the Illini Challenge next to six other upperclassmen on the Illinois team. She was joined by juniors Audrey Blazek, Valerie Bobart and Robin Manarik and seniors Amanda Fox, Kim Seger and Megan Lemersal. After the course official shot the starting gun, Branch got off to a nice start. She

remained in the front pack of runners for the first mile, not allowing anyone to pass her. As the race progressed, Branch was able to stay in the pack and cruise into the third mile with the top runners in the race. “(Head coach Scott Jones) said in the last 300 meters, don’t let anyone pass you at the end, be the passer,” Branch said. Seger and Bobart were not far behind, but Northwestern’s Aubrey Roberts

Key player: Denise Branch, first to cross the finish line for the Illini

Summary: The Illini began their year with a race at the University of Illinois Arboretum. The team took third out of the three teams competing. Juniors Audrey Blazek and Denise Branch and senior Amanda Fox all finished in the top-10 for Illinois .

Quote of the Meet: “I believe the team has the capability to be the best team that we’ve had in the past few years,”Denise Branch Up next: Illinois in the Country Financial ISU Challenge

and Sarah Nicholson began to pull away in the second mile. The Wildcats’ freshmen duo would not give up much ground, finishing the race one and two, respectively. Northwestern won the Illini Challenge with a score of 36 points. Northern Illinois finished in second place behind the Wildcats, notching a score of 41 points. The Illini finished third out of the three teams, posting a score of 45 to commence the season. Jones said the race was a nice way to ease into the season. “We will see a lot of fluctuation from meet to meet, who actually winds up finishing our top runner,” Jones said. “I think the strength of our team is that we have five or six runners who are almost interchangeable parts.” Senior Hanna Winter was held out of the race due to a coach’s decision. Jones said he wants Winter to have a few more practices to ensure she is fully healthy and prepared to begin the season. If Friday’s race was the Big Ten Championships, Jones noted

she would have been out there ready to compete. Branch said that with the team’s large amount of experience, she expects many of the upperclassmen to emerge as leaders throughout the season. When healthy, it is expected that those leaders can be used as mentors to the freshmen who also competed in the race. Charlotte Nawor was the first freshman to cross the finish line for the Illini. Grace Rogers, Diane Lipa and Julia Schultz were next for Illinois to complete the race, respectively. The Illini will be back in action Sept. 9, when they compete in the Country Financial ISU Invite in Bloomington, Illinois. “I believe the team has the capability to be the best team that we’ve had in the past few years,” Branch said. “Each meet we have to work together and push each other in practice so when it comes to race time, it’s not foreign to us.”
