Study: Fields that call for ‘brilliance’ lead to gender gap BY JANE LEE STAFF WRITER
A recent study found an emphasis of “brilliance” in certain fields led to an underrepresentation of women. Andrei Cimpian, associate professor of psychology, and Sarah-Jane Leslie, philosophy professor at Princeton, recently conducted research on the gender gap in the fields of science technology engineering and math, humanities and social sciences. “There are all sorts of stereotypes that have to do with gender, but in particular, we are focusing on the stereotypes about intellectual capacity because these stereotypes, combined with fields whose cultures emphasize that brilliance is needed for success, could lead to female underrepresentation,” Cimpian said. Researchers surveyed around 1,800 academic respondents in 30 fields about what they thought was required for success in their fi eld. They then studied the relationship between the beliefs of those respondents and the percentage of women who
earned their Ph.Ds in those fields. That relationship showed that fields that emphasized the need to have something special intellectually — “a spark of brilliance” — had fewer women. “That’s kind of the main fi nding of the study, which suggests that an atmosphere that emphasizes these innate intellectual traits combined with the stereotypes in our society that portray women as being less likely to possess these traits, is likely to discourage women’s participation,” Cimpian said. This idea, he said, was then compared to other research, which looks at underrepresentaiton of women in STEM and humanities fields. “The hypothesis that was most able to explain the pattern of where women were underrepresented across this large stretch of academia was that in certain fi elds, their culture values brilliance and genius, and therefore women feel unwelcome in those fields,” said Cimpian.

Over winter break, the University ran its first winter semester, offering eight courses online in a variety of subjects. Feedback from the trial session will determine whether more will be held in the future. A survey will be sent to students who registered for the session, and a cross-campus group will examine the feedback closely to determine how to improve the program for students and faculty. Students were able to earn up to four credit hours in four weeks, and 767 students enrolled. Adam Fein, associate director of The Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning, said it looked like the winter session was a success. “First of all, and most importantly, early returns are that there was a lot of high quality teaching and learning,” Fein said. “For example, in (Joseph) Petry’s ECON 203 course, the median final grade was over 89 percent, which was the highest median score achieved in his 203 course, ever.” Emi Rosanwo, sophomore in Business, took the ECON 203 class to satisfy one of her requirements and said she found it to be a challenging, yet rewarding course. “I like that it was kind of on your own time, like one day I could work in the morning, the next day I could work at night, depending on when I wanted to,” Rosanwo said. “It was definitely beneficial, and I would do it again, because
if I can lighten my workload, I will.” However, Rosanwo did not like how hard it was to get in contact with the teacher or TA or how fast-paced the class was. She said students take one midterm and final, just like a regular class. “I didn’t like how it was

Fein said instructional designers spent months researching the best practices peer institutions use to design “high quality shortformat” online courses. Bill Sieczkowski, sophomore in Engineering, took BADM 310 in order to stay on track to graduate in four years, as he added a minor to his curriculum. For him, it was a great way to earn three credit hours. “I liked how well the class was organized and how smoothly the entire

Students experience future work environments BY RUGE LI STAFF WRITER
Over winter break, University students participated in winter job shadow programs offered by different colleges to give young students a chance to spend a day experiencing an industry and work environment they are interested in. Lynnell Lacy, assistant director of the Engineering Career Services, attended Engineering 100 classes to speak with freshmen in order to draw attention to the job shadow program. She explained the program
is targeted to freshmen and sophomores, or juniors who recently transferred. She said 81 companies posted over 400 job shadow opportunities. It is a common phenomenon that employers do not wish to hire freshmen for internships, Lacy said, adding that the job shadow program can be considered one-day work experience for freshmen. Nicholas Bourne, freshman in Business, went to Northwestern Mutual, a life insurance company. He said he hopes to join the program again next year to
see more workplaces. “I definitely learned more about what fi nancial career is and kind of what they do on a day-to-day basis,� Bourne said. Thomas Watson, freshman in Business, went to Joy of Marketing, a consulting company for small businesses. After attending the program, he said he realized he preferred to work at a small fi rm because small companies have less employees. For pa r ticipati ng employers, the program serves as a fi rst chance to connect with students.
Through the one-day visit, students can use the shadow as a way to pre-identify their strengths. Talented students are offered an early invitation to interview for an internship after the student has fi nished their fi rst year of school, allowing students to build a web of contacts. Jean Drasgow, director for Career Services in ACES, said each college has its own schedule for the program. For ACES students, applications are due early in the fall, and they will know their matched company and location

Behind bars, college is back in session for some U.S. prisons BY KATHERINE LONG TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SEATTLE — Every week, they slide books through the metal detectors — novels by Virginia Woolf and Jane Austen, copies of the U.S. Constitution, texts on sociology, psychology and comparative religion. Then dozens of professors and instructors from Washington state’s public and private colleges surrender their driver’s licenses and car keys to an armed guard, walk through the detector themselves and pass through a perimeter fence topped by coils of gleaming razor wire. They have come to teach some of the state’s most unlikely college students: men and women serving time for felonies such as rape, robbery and murder. Many think inmates don’t deserve the kind of higher education that law-abiding citizens must pay tens of thousands of dollars to get, a view that led lawmakers, as part of a get-tough-oncrime push in the 1990s, to bar federal and state money from supporting college classes in prison. Supporters point to a 2013 study by the nonprofit RAND Corp., which concluded that prisoners who participated in education programs were 43 percent less likely to return to prison within three years of release, and also found that every dollar spent on inmate education translated to $4 to $5 saved on re-incarceration. In the meantime, participating academics believe they’re making a difference — for the inmates and society as a whole. Teaching in prison “is the most fulfi lling thing I’ve ever done,� said Reid Helford, a sociologist with a Ph.D. from Loyola University in Chicago, who teaches sociology to inmates at the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.

——— One morning this fall, Robin Jacobson, an assistant professor of politics and government at the University of Puget Sound (UPS), stood before 16 inmates at the Washington Corrections Center for Women near Gig Harbor, lecturing about how a bill works its way through Congress. Her course is offered through the privately funded Freedom Education Project of Puget Sound (FEPPS). Twelve professors from UPS, the University of Washington, Seattle Pacific University, Tacoma Community College and Harvard Extension School receive a stipend of $1,200 per semester to pay for transportation to and from the prison. UPS students serve as study hall tutors. The women inmates themselves asked for the classes. They’d heard from former prisoners that vocational certificates didn’t always translate into jobs, and they wanted something more meaningful.

An inmate raises her hand to ask a question during a government class at the Washington Corrections Center for Women near Gig Harbor.
Tanya Erzen, executive director of FEPPS and an associate professor of religion at UPS, echoed a theme voiced by others who teach behind bars: Many inmates seem to value an education more fervently than the typical college student, for whom going to college was always a given. In the past two years, 250 women have taken courses through FEPPS.

The
renewable energy requirements for the commitment were outlined in 2010, and the new solar farm is just one of Facilities and Services’ projects pushing the University toward meeting this goal. “There’s actually hundreds of projects in the works,� Johnston said. “They range anywhere from a discussion about battery recycling to a 100,000 fixture lighting retrofit all across campus.� The 5.87 megawatt solar array, which is set to be completed in fall 2015, is esti-
mated to provide 7.86 million kilowatt hours (kWh) in its fi rst year of operation, meeting 2 percent of the University’s total energy demand. For the first 10 years of its operation, the University will purchase the energy produced by the array from Phoenix Solar Inc. at a rate of 19.6 cents per kWh, Johnston said. When the power purchase agreement between the University and Phoenix Solar expires in 2025, the University will take over operation of the farm.

and convey to our students that those are the expectations that you’re going to be judged by, rather than these kinds of hardto-judge qualities about who’s brilliant and who’s not,� Cimpian said. Angela Wolters, associate director of Women in Engineering, said she feels a shift happening. “There has been such a national and or international focus on women in STEM, that when it comes to the engineering fi eld, when it comes to the concentration in other STEM oriented fields, that we will continue to see that shift,� she said. She mentioned studies that have shown that men and women come out of high school equally prepared to study engineering. In the past, she said, women weren’t taking calculus or physics and thus were less prepared to move into the engineering field when they entered college. With more opportunities that now exist, she said, more women are deciding to study in different fields, regardless of stereotypes. Stephanie Lona, senior in engineering and president of Women in Engineering, said the gender gap may continue to exist, but she thinks progress is being made. “It will never be closed within my lifetime,� Lona said. “I think that it will always exist. There will be that stereotype that men are supposed to be engineers and that women are supposed to do housework, even though that’s completely changing, and the gap is closing, but it’s still an upward battle.�

In their research, they found that philosophy plac-

In contrast to the field of philosophy, Cimpian said the field of psychology seems to emphasize a professor’s record.

The letter found its way to Warren Buffett’s sister Doris, who supported prison education in New York through her charity, the Sunshine Lady Foundation. Doris Buffett agreed to pay for a small program at Walla Walla and later extended it to Coyote Ridge Corrections Center near the Tri-Cities. University Behind Bars has also expanded and now reaches nearly 200 inmates in two units of the Monroe Correctional Complex. Tonya Wilson is working on her degree while serving two consecutive 10-year terms for two counts of second-degree murder in Washington. “Who would you rather live beside,� she asked, “a person that’s just getting out of prison who just sat in her cell and stewed, or do you want somebody who has transformed, who is educated, who will not be a drain on society?�

ly, 37 women are working toward a college degree. ——— In 1995, Washington lawmakers followed suit with a ban on using tax money for postsecondary education in prison. The same law expressly requires inmates to earn the equivalent of a high school diploma. Inmates are also encouraged to learn vocational skills through classes taught by the state’s community colleges. That carries an annual price tag of about $15.5 million, or about $939 for each of the state’s 16,500 inmates. But academic college courses are off-limits, except for the privately funded programs that are offered in just four of the state’s prisons, and for the correspondence courses for inmates who can afford them. Last year, 980 inmates completed a high school equivalency degree, and inmates also earned a total of 1,812 vocational certificates. But just 47 fi nished a two-year college degree. College-level courses started creeping back into Washington prisons in 2005, when a private group, Uni-

Green Street growth makes campus cohesive
G
reen Street is the heart of Campustown and is an important part of daily life for many at the University. We gormandize at restaurants such as Maize Mexican Grill, fraternize at bars such as Murphy’s Pub and reside in apartments such as 309. As such, we are glad to know efforts are being made to renovate Green Street to increase its accessibility for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists alike and to strengthen Champaign-Urbana’s urban core. As reported in The Daily Illini, back in September, the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District was awarded a $15.7 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant that will be used, in part, to repair Green Street between Fourth and Neil as well as Wright and Race. Under CUMTD’s Multimodal Corridor Enhancement Project various streets in Champaign-Urbana, including portions of Green Street, will be enhanced with infrastructure improvements. These include bike lanes, better lighting and bus-only lanes that will improve transportation for a variety of commuter groups including socioeconomically disadvantaged populations and individuals with disabilities. But the road itself is not the only thing getting improved with TIGER money. Last Thursday, the City of Champaign held an open house for its Green Street Steetscape Project. Components of the project include wider sidewalks, safer crosswalks, better lighting, improved traffic design and overall aesthetics. Given all the changes to Green Street in terms of commercial activity over the past few years, with various national chains coming (or returning in some cases) to Campustown and numerous ongoing construction projects, it’s refreshing to see local government units investing in improved infrastructure. The University, long a champion of accessibility, has crafted a campus suited for individuals of various ability types, which has, in turn, attracted a wide variety of people to the ChampaignUrbana area. In striving for a more accessible urban core, improvements to places such as Green Street acknowledge and encourage the continued growth of a diverse community in the Champaign-Urbana area. Many stand to benefit from improved transit and more attractive infrastructure. Walkways and bike paths encourage carbon-neutral transit meaning cleaner air for everyone. Accessible well-lit sidewalks create a welcoming atmosphere that will yield increased foot traffic that businesses can benefit from. A healthy business climate can attract new businesses to campus (Portillos, anyone?), which increases local spending and brings about greater tax yields to benefit the local community. In a broader sense, the buildup of a strong urban core with a multitude of centralized amenities can discourage sprawl and bring forth a more cohesive Champaign-Urbana and campus community.

“I’LL HAVE ONE ORDER OF CASH, PLEASE.�
Leave it to America to be the country that gets its panties in a twist over deflated footballs — so much so that the situation has its own news coverage and hashtag dedication, #DeflateGate. Recently, the head coach of the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick, held a press conference to explain the deflation of 11 out of 12 game balls. He is now (deservedly) being poked fun at for his scientific explanations of ball deflation and was even challenged by our favorite scientist Bill Nye the Science Guy (sorry, Einstein). While sports fanatics might take this story seriously, over here in the opinions section, we are laughing our booties off over the whole ordeal.
In New Hampshire, one woman’s casual trip to Burger King turned out to be worth it — literally. When she received her bag in the drive-thru, instead of her junior spicy chicken sandwich, the bag contained over $2,000, which apparently was a Burger King bank deposit. Fortunately, morality overcame and the money was returned to the restaurant. But let’s be honest, how cool would it be to leave Burger King with a chicken sandwich and a fat stack of cash? Talk about a sweet deal. That could buy us, like, 1,000 more junior spicy chicken sandwiches.

“FOURFIVESECONDS� IS FOUR OR FIVE SECONDS TOO LONG “FourFiveSeconds,� a new collaboration between Rihanna, Paul McCartney and Kanye West unfortunately debuted this week. We don’t need more people claiming that Kanye West just drove Paul McCartney to stardom and we are relatively neutral on our views of Rihanna as an artist and celebrity. Is it weird that we feel as if Paul McCartney needs to be sheltered from West’s ridiculous superiority complex? Definitely (and also sort of ironic, seeing as McCartney was a member of one of the most iconic musical groups in history). Our preference would be a collaboration between McCartney and T-Swift instead.
First-semester reflections prompt visions of future YUNJO JEONG Opinions columnist
L
et’s start with a cliched saying: Time flies. For me, last semester — my first semester of college — was a hectic frenzy. Starting over in a new world wasn’t as easy as I’d expected; my mind was on overdrive the moment I entered Chicago O’Hare International Airport, and as an incoming freshman traveling from my life in South Korea, I knew I wouldn’t feel completely at home at the University. But then again, coming here wasn’t meant to be all nice and comfy. I came here to the United States to have more opportunities in life; expecting to be at complete ease in a new country would be wishful thinking. The first few days here were as crazy as they could be. Getting everything settled within a few days — bank accounts, cell phones, courses and textbooks — was an exhausting job. I walked around town with
my Android device in my hand because I didn’t know the bus lines and wasn’t sure I could figure out the campus well enough on my own. And walking around with a map was the typical look of a tourist, a newbie. I didn’t eat in restaurants outside of the dining hall simply because I didn’t know which places were good or if the food was decently priced. One day I walked what felt like 15 miles — a distance that would easily have been covered by riding the bus. I felt like a foreign tourist rather than a student. Maybe it’s just me, but I really did not expect to get acclimated to the campus so quickly. Looking back, I guess I fared well enough. Now I’m so used to riding the bus that I never use my bike anymore — so much so that it’s now rusted — and I know the locations of most of the buildings on campus. I still vividly remember last semester: The days when I would spend the whole night awake because I couldn’t finish my homework, the days when I would prefer to sleep for a few hours over eating a meal, the days when I was so tired I sometimes fell asleep
on the bus and almost missed my stop. I remember the end of last August, one night when it was pouring rain and thunderclaps rang through my dorm room window. I felt strangely sentimental and created a long post on my blog, telling the story about my first day alone in my new world. I had still been feeling numb after all I’d been through for the past few days, still unable to believe that I was actually in an American university, when I was faced with a new culture that I had to understand in a foreign language. I didn’t know what to feel, didn’t know whether I should be happy that I was given an opportunity to pursue my goals of studying abroad or whether I should just be petty and give in to the lonely feeling that I didn’t know anybody around me. Looking back at these days, I feel once again that time flies. I’m already a week into my second semester. I’m used to the tiny desk that greets me when I come back to my room, I’m used to the pizza and pasta that I eat every day and I’m used to how the courses are
divided into lectures and discussions, and in some cases, labs. I’ve learned to look beyond the tiring life of school and to enjoy the new experiences I am having here. Face it — I’m here, and I’m a foreigner. I’m taking lectures and obtaining new knowledge in a language that is so different from my native language. I can choose to enjoy it or regret my choice to come here, and I choose the former. I look forward to learning both statics and electromagnetics in the same semester, taking Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 211 and Physics 212 at the same time. I look forward to learning how to create computer-aided design models in Mechanical Engineering 170, and I look forward to struggling to recall past chemistry knowledge as I tackle Chemistry 104. Life is going to be fun my next three years here. It’s going to be hard, but it’s going to be fun. And that’s what counts.

Wealth disparity big problem for economy BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist
C
ollege is a relatively secluded atmosphere. Although there are of course exceptions, college students are substantially better economically situated than many others, simply because we have the privilege of earning a form of higher education. For many Americans, receiving a higher education was never even an option, but for everyone, it should be. Some of us are pursuing careers, while some are gaining valuable knowledge and others are burning through season six of “Parks and Recreation� on Netflix. Still, once we come out of this institution, nearly all of us will be in a position to provide ourselves with a better life than before we came in, and we’re surrounded by peers who are all in the same situation. Because of that, I think we (or I) often forget about just how widespread of a problem poverty is. Unfortunately, the ubiquity of poverty was highlighted for me yet again this week. Since 2010, Credit Suisse Research Institute has been calculating the global wealth report, a publication that, this year, consists of 156 pages
of charts, graphs, lists and analyses of wealth by country. Though it’s very, very far away from the most riveting thing I’ve ever read, the bigpicture takeaway from the report is bleak — especially for anyone claiming blindly that the United States of America is the greatest nation on Earth, or for those ignoring the massive wealth that has been accrued by a small amount of people. Perhaps the most startling statistic from this study, however, is that 80 people in the world have more combined wealth than the world’s 3.6 billion poorest people. According to Oxfam, by 2016 one percent of the world will control more of the world’s wealth than the remaining 99 percent combined (debts factored in, as well). When I first read this, I was astounded — and I still am. That’s an incomprehensible amount of wealth to me, and probably most people in the world. While billionaires are thinking of which football team to buy next, most of us students are just looking for eight quarters to pay the damn parking meter (thanks for the tickets, Urbana Parking Department). I don’t purport to be an economist — in fact, I’ve never even taken an economics class here at the University, but I do feverishly keep up with history and current events, which would lead
me to believe that this trend (which is happening worldwide) is probably more bad than it is good. This is not my communist manifesto. Capitalism is a good economic system, and when it’s not exploited by the ultra-powerful, it can work wonders. Wealth disparity, to an extent, is necessary. Those who do astounding things should be wealthier than those who don’t, but the level of inequality that we’re steadily approaching can’t be healthy — or stable — for anyone, even the world’s strongest economy. Our country was, at least arguably, considered the strongest because we have a strong middle class, and this growing disparity continues to shrink what is left. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating for forceful wealth redistribution — but I am arguing for those who have more wealth to support allocating more to the communities that allowed them to prosper, whether it be via taxation or otherwise. This could easily be applied to students who have depended on state-funded workers so much for our education while here at the University. Some of us will go on to do great things with our education — but none of it would have been possible without the groundwork laid by others, and thus, we should aim to give back once we have the ability to (after I find a job,
for the love of God). Much like The New Deal after World War II, we can and must invest in our aging infrastructure, invest in renewable energies, and invest in education and opportunities for all young people — regardless of economic status. This would hopefully be enough economic activity to lift many out of the grip of poverty, but until then, with right-wing politicians still advocating for the policies akin to the failed idea of “trickle-down economics,� I am fearful. Quite simply, this wealth disparity helps few at the expense of many, and it shows no sign of moderating any time soon. I would hope that it would be a bipartisan opinion that futuristically, it would be hard to envision the rapidly expanding wealth gap as a good thing for American society — or, on a more localized level, the University system as a whole. Tuition is ascending to plateaus that will soon make it prohibitive for growing numbers of the population to attend the University — and if the wealth is increasingly concentrated at the top, the chances that it will trickle down are historically slim to none (Sorry, Ronald Reagan). But hey, what do I know? I’m no economist.

Regardless of the terminology, these creepy, crawly critters wriggle their way into homes, end up splattered on windshields and can be found in the everyday foods people eat (within FDA standards). While many cringe at the idea of eating bugs, which is called “entomophagy,� this
practice is widely accepted in many countries around the world. For students enrolled in Professor May Berenbaum’s Integrative Biology 109 course, “Insects and People,� eating insects during the course’s bug buffet lab is anything but accidental. “Each semester, we hold a lab that is a bug-eating buffet where students can try different kinds of insects,� Beren-

We are not eating live stuff because nobody does that for real, but all around the world, people do not bat an eye at eating insects.� Surprisingly, the idea of eating insects doesn’t seem to be an insurmountable problem for IB 109 students, either.

Illinois' Malcolm Hill shoots the ball during the game against Purdue at State Farm Center on Wednesday. The Illini won 66-57.
llinois played hard at Minnesota but sputtered in the second half and ran out of gas Saturday afternoon. The Gophers (13-8, 2-6 Big Ten) won their second conference game of the season, 79-71, over an Illinois squad (13-8, 3-5 Big Ten) that had a tough time keeping up due to its depleted roster and limited bodies. Since Rayvonte Rice and Aaron Cosby were sidelined again with injuries, Illini head coach John Groce essentially used a seven-man rotation against Minnesota. The Gophers were only up 33-30 at halftime, but turned up the intensity in the second half, and the short-handed Illini couldn’t respond. Led by Andre Hollins, the Gophers broke off an 18-3 run midway through the second half, out-rebounding the Illini in the process. Secondchance points haunted the Illini, as Maurice Walker anchored the Gophers’ inside effort with 12 points and 13 rebounds. Five of Walker’s rebounds came on the offensive end, and Hollins finished with 28 points on 10-of-15 shooting. I wrote before the game that Minnesota was a desperate team coming off

The Gophers turned up the full-court pressure the whole game, making the Illini work for each possession. Groce’s squad handled the press pretty well for the first thirty minutes, but you could tell they became tired and a step slow as Minnesota pulled away. The Gophers started to grab more than their share of loose balls, get easy buckets in transition and stifle the Illini on defense. While Hollins, Walker and Carlos Morris (16 points) extended the Minnesota lead, the Illinois offense began to stagnate in the final 10 minutes. And even though the Illini shot well from three (11-for-24), they

Groce places team’s student manager on roster BY NICHOLAS FORTIN STAFF WRITER
No one expected it, least of all Ryan Schmidt. Illinois men’s basketball coach John Groce announced Friday that because of the Illini’s injuries, the team would add student manager Ryan Schmidt to the roster, a move no one would have expected at the beginning of the year. Before the season, Groce highlighted the depth of
Illinois’ backcourt. After dealing with injuries to three starting guards, the Illini are in an unexpected spot. Illinois lost Tracy Abrams to a torn ACL before the season, Rayvonte Rice to a broken bone in his left hand in early January and Aaron Cosby to a torn retina following the Indiana game. The Cosby injury left Illinois’ backcourt thin, especially in practice. Enter Schmidt, a 6-foot
senior guard who played high school basketball at Bloomington (Ill.) Central Catholic and has been a student manager in each of his first three years at Illinois. Groce has referenced his “next man up� philosophy multiple times this season and over the weekend it was extended to Schmidt, who suited up for the Illini against Minnesota.

Illinois to face Michigan amid losing streak BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
Now stuck in a four-game losing streak, the Illinois women’s basketball team will look to right the ship Monday night against Michigan in a Big Ten challenge on the road. Illinois (11-8, 2-5 Big Ten) is fresh off a one-point loss at home to Northwestern, in which the Illini turned the ball over 24 times and had just nine second-chance points despite grabbing 14 offensive rebounds, their second-highest total in conference play this season. It has been rare for the Illini to outrebound their opponents. Michigan (12-6, 4-3) will prove to be another tough test on the glass as the Wolverines are third in the Big Ten in rebounding margin. The Wolverines are led by forward Cyesha Goree, who is fifth in the conference in rebounding with more than 10 boards per game. Goree will likely match up with Illinois’ top rebounder, freshman center Chatrice White, who had limited touches and fouled out against Northwestern with 14 points. Sophomore forward Jacqui Grant said Illinois’ formula to success on offense starts with White in the post. “She’s such a big pres-
ence inside,� Grant said. “That draws the defenders in and (she) has the skills to pass it out, she sees the floor pretty well. Once we get inside, we’ve got to play inside-out.� Illinois leads the Big Ten and ranks 19th nationally in 3-point defense, holding its opponents to just over 26 percent from downtown on the year. The Wolverines will do their best to challenge the Illini’s stout perimeter defense, as Michigan comes into Monday night’s game shooting the long ball at a 38 percent clip, which is good for 12th in the nation. Guards Siera Thompson and Katelynn Flaherty have both attempted more than 100 3-pointers and have kept their respective shooting percentages above 40 percent. Michigan and Illinois rank fourth and fifth in the Big Ten in made 3-pointers per game, respectively, so this game could turn into a shootout. Junior guard Kyley Simmons has led the Illini’s shooting attack with 2.2 made 3-pointers per game, good for sixth in the Big Ten, and has shot just under 43 percent from deep over her past 15 games.

Freshly cut grass and 70 degree weather was a sight for sore eyes for the Illinois men’s golf team. The team began its season this weekend with the Tinervin Cup, an event put on by Jeff and Madalyn Tinervin against Illinois State in Placida, Florida. The Illini won 8-1 and remain a perfect 12-0 in this event since its creation in 2003. The tournament took place at Coral Creek Golf Club. The 7,038 yard, par 71 course is noted as one of the nicest in Florida, backed up by its No. 17 ranking in the State of Florida by Gold Digest. Play begins with a four-ball competition in which two players from each team compete against one another. In the afternoon, the single matches were held and players competed against another player from the opposing team. Illinois won all but one singles match.

Illini snap losing streak, split series BY MATT GERTSMEIER STAFF WRITER
Nick Fabbrini’s message may not have been clear enough after Friday night’s 5-2 victory over the Robert Morris Eagles. The head coach of the Illinois hockey team said in order to secure the sweep, the Illini (17-13-1) were going to have to come out Saturday with more intensity than the team had on Friday. Things didn’t go as planned for the Illini. Fabbrini watched his team snap a five-game losing streak, only to end up back in the losing column the next night, falling 4-3.
“We need to understand that after you win on Friday, it’s not going to be easier on Saturday night.” NICK FABBRINI
ILLINI HOCKEY HEAD COACH
“We need to understand that after you win on Friday, it’s not going to be easier on Saturday night,” Fabbrini said. “When you play good teams like we do every weekend, they’re not going to want to leave here empty-handed. That’s something that we’ve got to figure out.” After enjoying a two-goal
first period Friday, Illinois faltered Saturday with goaltender Joe Olen allowing three goals in the first period. Olen has been recovering from a groin injury suffered earlier this season and sat out half of Friday’s game as a precaution. Illinois regrouped during the first intermission Saturday and mounted a comeback tying the game in the third period. However, Robert Morris killed the Illini’s momentum with a goal with three minutes remaining in the game. Saturday’s loss was Illinois’ third home loss this season. All three home losses have been the second game of each series. Fabbrini believed Illinois’ first 20 minutes cost them a sweep and acknowledged the team’s inconsistency to finish off opponents. “We’ve got to be able to match or exceed that intensity coming off the win,” Fabbrini said. “We can’t be satisfied, we can’t get complacent because when we do, that’s what happens.” Securing a sweep can be tough, especially when the opponent is a two-hour drive away. Most of the Illini are familiar with the players on Robert Morris. Two years ago, Illinois winger James McGing roomed with Robert Morris’ Nathan Chasteen while playing juniors for the Springfield Blues. The intensified rivalry caused for a physical series. Forward Chris Lozinak took

Lozinak said that’s just part of the game. “From start to finish, it’s been a battle,” Lozinak said. “We just have to play, let the refs do their job and take care of what we can take care of on the ice.” Fabbrini thought the officiating could have been improved. “I didn’t think (the referee) called a great game necessarily, but he was consistent, for the most part, which is all you can really ask for,” he said. “He’s definitely not the reason we lost the game, he
didn’t give up three goals in the first period.” Even though this weekend was a tale of two games, Illinois believes ending its fivegame losing streak made it a positive weekend. “That was huge for us, we really needed to turn around,” Lozinak said. “The fact that we battled this hard is definitely a positive. We definitely needed it, and against the number six or seven team in the nation, it’s definitely nothing to look down on.”

Men’s track proves worth at Rod McCravy Memorial meet BY WILL SMALL STAFF WRITER
Head coach Mike Turk was a pretty big fan of the Illinois men’s track team after its weekend success at the Rod McCravy Memorial Meet. “It was a great meet with a bunch of highly ranked teams and I feel like we competed really well,” Turk said. “We showed we truly are a well-rounded team.” Junior Ian Barnett had one of the team’s best performances at the meet, running the 3,000 meters in 8:02.40 to break the school record set in 1985 by Ty Wolf. Barnett placed sixth overall in
the event — beat out by runners from perennial powers Oregon and Arkansas. “He looked awesome,” Turk said of Barnett’s performance. “Ian has a beautiful running form. We’re finally seeing Ian with the self confidence to go to a higher level.” One of the strong points for the Illini so far this season has been freshman Jonathan Wells, who continued his impressive set of performances in the high jump. Wells tied for first place with USC’s Randall Cunningham, jumping a height of 2.14 meters. “This was by far the best field of jumpers Jonathan has
faced this year,” Turk said. “Although he was a little off of his top form, he competed and pulled out the win.” Sophomore David Kendziera and Junior Cam Viney qualified for the final heat in the 60-meter hurdles, where they both finished with a time of 7.96, good enough for seventh overall. “Viney and Kendziera were both solid today. I’m pleased that they are both showing some quality consistency,” said Turk. In the weight throw, senior Davis Fraker finished third overall, throwing a distance of 20.53 meters. Turk looks forward to the postseason
where he believes Fraker will be highly competitive. “Fraker looks poised to make his run into the NCAAs and get on the podium this year,” Turk said. “I think he has also discovered a flaw in his technique he can change.” Turk said he specifically sees improvement in the 800 meters. The Illini had two of the top-12 finishers in the event, with Bryce Basting finishing 12th and Joe McAsey finishing second. “All of our 800 guys are progressing well,” Turk said. “Basting showed great closing speed and Joe McAsey slugged it out with a couple of the best in the country. Joe
has quite an array of tactics he can use in a race and as his confidence grows, he keeps getting better.” Turk added that he believes there’s room for improvement, which could help the team down the road, “We had a few rough spots, a few guys that definitely were not at their best, but we had other guys that seized the opportunity to step up and shoulder the load. I’m really proud of the way we competed.”

Women’s team place 6 different athletes in top 10 at meet BY ALEX WALLNER STAFF WRITER
At an event filled with high-quality opponents, six different Illini finish in the top-10 in six different events at the Rod McCravy Memorial Meet in Lexington, Kentucky, over the weekend. Senior Breeana Coleman finished sixth in the 60-meter hurdles, sophomore Nicole Choquette finished seventh in the 800 meters, senior Alyssa Schneider finished eighth in the 3,000 meters, sophomore Kandie Bloch-Jones finished eighth in the high jump and the senior-junior tandem of Stephanie Richartz and Jennifer DeBellis finished fifth and eighth, respectively, in the pole vault.

ROUX had a tough time converting two-point field goals, making just 12-of-37 shots from inside the arc. Three-point shooting will usually be a big part of the Illini’s successes, but they simply have to convert more easy looks if they want to win. Malcolm Hill and Kendrick Nunn carried the Illini again with 18 points each, and point guard Jaylon Tate had a nice game with 11 points, nine assists and no turnovers. Center Nnanna Egwu’s stats weren’t amazing, but you could tell he was working hard on both sides of the ball. Illinois didn’t get much offensive production out of Leron Black (two points), but he grabbed nine rebounds, once again displaying a nose for the ball that Illini fans will love for the next three years. Backup center Maverick Morgan also was active with seven
the top 25: No. 1 Florida, No. 3 Oregon, No. 4 Georgia, No. 5 Texas, host No. 6 Kentucky, No. 7 Arkansas, No. 9 Florida State and No. 24 Missouri. Team scores were not tallied for the meet. Senior Richartz broke the indoor school record in the pole vault, finishing with a final height of 4.33 meters. Her fifth-place finish was the best across all events for Illinois. “I’m excited to have broken the school record, especially so early in the season,” Richartz said. “That mark will also most likely make it to indoor nationals, which will give me another opportunity to jump high among great competition and put myself in the mix of becoming an AllAmerican once again.”
Richartz was sidelined due to an injury for all of last season, only to come back and break the indoor school record in just her second meet this season. Richartz said her injury gave her time to think about not taking anything for granted, especially health. “As an athlete, it’s easy to take something as simple as good health for granted,” Richartz said. “However, facing adversity has made me truly appreciate not only the success that I have already had in my career but the wonderful support system of people I have in my life. These people have been pushing me to come back this season stronger than I have ever been before.” Richartz competed against
27 other athletes and fell only behind two unattached vaulters and two vaulters from seventh-ranked Arkansas. With the amount of quality teams involved, Schneider pointed out the Illini were forced to perform well. “Racing against better competition forces us to race at a higher level,” Schneider said. “Any chance we get to challenge ourselves against some of the better athletes in the country is a great opportunity.” Distance coach Scott Jones added that competing in such a tough meet early on can carry over toward the rest of the season, especially going into the Big Ten Indoor Championships. “Being in that environment and competing well
points and four rebounds off the bench. But the Illini still fell short, and it was a frustrating game in the sense that the outcome might have been different with a healthy roster. It’s just so hard to replace Rice’s 17.2 points per game, and you have to think he could have prevented some of Minnesota’s second-half offensive rebounds too. And though Cosby has had his share of shooting struggles this season, he would have contributed with defense and rebounding for sure. Perhaps most importantly, a full roster might have kept Illinois from wearing down as the game went on. But college basketball isn’t a game of what-ifs; it’s a game of absolutes. Minnesota improved in the second half; Illinois regressed, and the Illini’s road to the NCAA tournament got that much tougher. It’s a shame that we’ll never know what the 2014-15 Illini could have accomplished with a healthy team the entire
year. But Groce isn’t giving up on this season, and no one else should either. A much-needed week off awaits Illinois before both Penn State and Rutgers visit Champaign. Those two games are very winnable, and the hope is Rice and Cosby will return soon after. Illinois didn’t give up on Saturday, even when the game was all but decided. Groce got every ounce of effort from his players as they extended the game with full-court defense and fouls in the final minutes, making the Gophers work to put them away. A comeback was unlikely, but that didn’t matter to Groce. They’ll have to treat the rest of the season the same way. An NCAA tournament bid may seem like a long-shot right now, but I don’t doubt the Illini will fight to the end.

WBBALL start to the season, the Illini seem to have gained confidence in their shooting abilities. “The shots were falling,” Grant said after the Northwestern game. “We know we can do that, so that’s not really an issue.” An issue for Illinois has been its depth after losing senior guard Ivory Crawford to a knee injury, and head coach Matt Bollant said he is still searching for more options off the bench before fatigue becomes significant for the starters. “It’s the Big Ten, its physi-

Illinois swimming tops Nebraska BY DANIEL COLLINS STAFF WRITER
The Illinois swimming and diving team sent the fans in attendance of the seventh annual Splash Bash home happy, defeating Nebraska 171-129 at the ARC. Illinois started the meet with a victory in the 200 medley relay event. The event was won by the quartet of senior Alison Meng, freshman Samantha Stratford, junior Lori Lynn and senior Megan Marchuk.
That combination in the relay has provided the Illini with many points throughout the season and came 0.14 seconds away of setting the ARC pool record against Nebraska. The remainder of the meet was led by Meng and Stratford. In both individual events she competed in, the 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly, Meng set the pool record with times of 55.42 and 55.81, respectively.
During her time competing for Illinois, Meng has seen her name atop the leaderboard many times. Against Michigan State this weekend, she’ll have one more dual meet to add to her accomplishments. “I get excited every time,” Meng said of her recordbreaking accomplishments. “I just want to give my all to this team and I’m for the last meet next weekend. (The seniors) are going to give it their all.”
Stratford won the 200 fly, breaststroke and individual medley. Finding her name consistently among the top finishers is something that Stratford has now become more accustomed to. Knowing that her finishes help provide the team with needed points is part of what helps calm her nerves. “In my first race I was very nervous, so winning it was really exciting because I wasn’t expecting to win,” Stratford said. “Now win-

Baillon, who only played doubles in the second match, left no time for any nostalgia, as she and her partner Alexis Casati won at the No. 2 doubles slot 6-2 in a little less than 30 minutes. “Lex and I have great chemistry, and it honestly doesn’t matter who our opponents are,” Baillon said. “We know we have each other’s support, and we just went out there and got a win.” Baillon and Casati, much like the rest of the team, simply overpowered the Redbirds and didn’t ever let them in the match. Illinois won with a 7-0 sweep. Head coach Michelle Dasso thought the team looked sharper in doubles after a few close scores against UIC in the first matchup of Illinois’ doubleheader. The head coach had high praise for Baillon and Casati. “(Baillon) has just made
ning races is still really exciting, but it’s also a team sport, so I’m doing it for the team — not so much myself.” The Splash Bash brought in the highest attendance of the Illini’s three home meets. Those in attendance were given free snacks and the opportunity to make posters and donate art supplies to the Illinois Children’s Hospital. Head coach Sue Novitsky applauded her team’s ability to remain composed in front

Illinois’ Melissa Kopinski prepares to return the ball during the meet against Illinois State at Atkins Tennis Center on Sunday. The Illini won 7-0. so many improvements if you look at her game a year ago,” Dasso said. “It’s really a credit to her work ethic.” Illinois State only has two players returning from last year’s roster, and the team went through a coaching change. The program is much different from the one Baillon played on last season. Baillon didn’t play either of the girls she knew from last season’s team. Baillon was quick to point out multiple parts of her game have improved in the time since she left Illinois State. Conditioning and consistency were the ones she hit the hardest on. She attributed her better conditioning to spending three days a week in the weight room with the rest of the team, something she didn’t
do as frequently at Illinois State. Baillon also talked about how the players in the Big Ten are just on another level, which can be seen in the scores of the match — Illinois didn’t drop a single set. Dasso talked to Baillon about coming to Illinois before she graduated high school, but told her she should go somewhere and try to get as many matches as possible before she did come back to Illinois. That is exactly what she did as she played in every one of Illinois State’s dual matches last year. Now that Baillon is in Champaign, Dasso thinks of her as a great addition to the team and thinks she brings a lot to the table in both singles and doubles. Leading up to the match
there were some doubts if, due to NCAA regulations regarding transferring schools, Baillon was even allowed to play against her former team. Worrying about that gave the last week a weird feel, but Baillon still practiced every day like she was playing a match. Even though she did play her old team, Baillon still looked at it as normal match, but she did say that it was a good experience to have. “It was good for all of us to play,” Baillon said. “We were ready to start the season, and everybody was itching for some wins.”

The Illinois men’s gymnastics team proved to have depth in its 434.400-431.300 win over Ohio State. Due to extensive training with the national team the week prior to the meet, head coach Justin Spring decided to limit the events of junior C.J. Maestas and freshman Bobby Baker. Neither competed for the all-around title, and Maestas was out for the still ring competition. Maestas was the 2012 still rings national champion. Despite not having Maestas competing in one of his strongest events, Illinois scored a 75.650. The score ranks fourth in team history. Even with the win, the Illini have been struggling in their pommel horse and parallel bar routines. “We ended on a little bit of a rough note with a sub-par parallel bars,” Spring said. “We’re two for six . . . you can’t have four misses in the same event. We almost gave up our sizeable lead right there in the last event.” While struggling in the event, the Illini did have slight improvement on pommel horse. Sophomore Matt Foster was the best for Illinois in the event, finishing third with a score of 14.600 — the third highest of the season for the Illini in that event. “I’m looking to clean some stuff up and add more difficulty,” Foster said. “As an early-event guy on floor and (parallel) bars, I want to stay consistent, and then keep hitting late in the lineup on horse and getting a big score in one of the lower-scoring events.” Spring said he was sur-
prised at Foster’s performance due to the short amount of preparation Foster put into his routines. Odds are Foster will participate in the same events for the Illini next meet at home against Minnesota. After that, Illinois is looking to have a more complete lineup with the possible return of junior Fred Hartville from a knee injury and a rested Maestas and Baker. “Soon, guys are going to

have less opportunities to prove themselves,” Spring said. “We’re going with the guys that we’re going to see in postseason. When that happens, we’ll be excited to put up a full lineup for the first time.” With the win over the Buckeyes, who were picked first in the Big Ten preseason poll, Illinois now has a combined record of 7-0 (2-0 in dual meets), which is the team’s best start to the season since 2011.

Women’s gymnastics can’t end drought vs. Michigan BY ASHLEY WIJANGCO STAFF WRITER
The streak lives on. In Illinois’ case, however, that isn’t a good thing. The No. 11 Illinois women’s gymnastics team traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Sunday to take on conference rival No. 4 Michigan. The Illini entered the meet with hopes of ending their losing streak to the Wolverines, but the Illini’s 196.850-195.475 dual-meet loss kept that losing streak at 29 years and counting. At the start, though, it appeared Illinois had a good chance of topping
Michigan. With Giana O’Connor’s 9.850 leading the way, Illinois earned a 49.000 on the uneven bars. O’Connor’s score was one of three that were a 9.800 or higher for the Illini. In fact, the lowest score they counted on the apparatus was a 9.775. “We started extremely strong,” head coach Kim Landrus said. “We had a lot of stuck dismounts. The girls — the entire bar lineup — definitely did a nice job building off of each other and just really doing what they do in practice.” By the time both teams
completed their first rotation, Illinois trailed by just 0.125, but that was the closest the meet would get, The deficit only grew from there, and bars ended up being the lone event Illinois would score a 49 on. The Illini moved on to vault, where they earned only two scores at a 9.800 or higher: O’Connor’s 9.875 and sophomore Erin Buchanan’s 9.825. Another sophomore, Suren Kanchanavaleerat, made her Illini debut on vault, but she scored a 9.225 that did not count toward the 48.775 event total.
To make things worse, Illinois had just one score above a 9.800 on floor. O’Connor continued to succeed by posting a 9.850. Juniors Heather Foley and Jordan Naleway scored 9.725 and 9.775, respectively, while sophomores Buchanan and Mary Jane Horth both earned a 9.700, the lowest floor scores for the competition. “We are a much better floor team than we displayed today,” Landrus said. “So the little things are really going to add up, and if you give the judges an opportunity, if you give
the judges reason to deduct, they’re going to deduct. We can’t give away little tenths on silly things that we know that we know how to perform well.” There was at least one positive for the Illini, though. They didn’t have any spectacular scores, but the 9.825s from Buchanan and senior Sunny Kato were enough for the team to earn a season-high 48.950 on the balance beam to end the competition. “I’m really proud of them, that they came into beam . . . just doing our beam routine how they practice and
to try to minimize the little things,” Landrus said. “And they went out, and they really fought, and I’m just proud that they were able to finish the meet on a strong note.” The Illini aren’t panicking, though. “It’s early in the season,” Landrus said. “We got to use it as a valuable lesson, and we have to learn from mistakes we made today, move forward and make sure we correct those.”

Illini snap losing streak against Wildcats unanswered points to Studebaker. He ultimately lost the match 4-3, foreshadowing the central theme of the rest of the meet. In seven of the 10 matches, the Illini failed to score a point in the final period. Three of those seven wrestlers either led or were tied with their opponent entering the third period. Only able to claim victory in three matches, the Illini fell to the No. 12 Cornhuskers 22-9. Of Friday’s three wins by Zane Richards, Jackson Morse and Isaiah Martinez, Martinez’s was perhaps the most significant of the night. The freshman, ranked third nationally at 157 pounds, squared off against the fourth-ranked 157-pound James Green. Although seeming to control the match from start to finish, Martinez only accomplished a 1-0 victory over Green, bringing his record to 21-0 overall. “I’ve waited all my freshman year to get that job done,� Martinez said. “Wrestling guys that are threetime All-Americans, guys who will be competing for national titles, and then I see myself there wrestling those guys. It’s surreal.� Sunday’s results were better for the Illini. Facing the No. 10 Wildcats on the road in the midst of a three-meet conference losing streak, the in-state rivalry was being edged into the “must win� category. With nation-

Two meets, two cities and two very different Illini wrestling teams were the story over the weekend. Going 1-1 against two formidable conference opponents, Illinois (9-4) suffered from a sluggish start at home against Nebraska (7-1) on Friday, then came back Sunday with a dominant performance against Northwestern (9-6) in Evanston, Illinois. Prior to Friday, Illinois was coming off a grueling Big Ten road trip where the team recorded two consecutive losses against Iowa and Minnesota, the top-two teams in the nation. The Illini appeared emotionally drained and physically fatigued against a talented Cornhusker squad despite having four days of rest prior to the bout with Nebraska, even with the wrestlers having stressed the importance of avoiding a three-meet losing streak. “It looked like they were emotionally hungover from last weekend,� head coach Jim Heffernan said. “It’s a lack of hustle. They weren’t ready to go, they weren’t ready to fight. We didn’t compete very hard.� Friday’s meet began with a 197-pound matchup with Illini grappler Jeff Koepke and Nebraska’s Aaron Studebaker. After bringing a 3-1 lead into the third period, Koepke surrendered three

Flipping the script from Friday, Dominic Olivieri gave the Illini the first points of the meet with a 5-2 win over Garrison White. “Dominic did a great job setting the tone for us,� Heffernan said. “He was aggressive and wrestling offensively. He really did a
fantastic job.� After jumping out to a 10-0 lead after Steven Rodrigues’ 8-6 win over Northwestern’s Jameston Oster at 141 pounds, Illinois never seemed to look back.

At this point in the season, conference wins are hard to come by. Heffernan said that
