Discipline from UI independent of courts STAFF WRITER
Brian O’Donnell , senior in AHS, was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday after being charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault of a fellow student almost three weeks ago. But even if the verdict returns not guilty, the outcome may not affect any punishment from the University. While Brian Farber, associate dean and director for the Office of Student Confl ict Resolution , would not comment on O’Donnell’s case, he said the results of a criminal case do not correlate with disciplinary decisions made by the University. “The criminal system and the student disciplinary system are completely independent processes with different goals, different procedures and different
standards of proof,” Farber said. O’Donnell and his personal assistant, Thomas Roman Jr., were both charged the morning of Aug. 31 with sexual assault after Roman helped O’Donnell, who uses a wheelchair, commit the assault, University Police Capt. Roy Acree said. Thomas Betz, directing attorney at Student Legal Services highlighted the difference between the criminal and student disciplinary processes. He said that the administrative system at the University and the U.S. court system are “very separate systems.” “There isn’t a presumption of innocence (with the University) because it’s not a procedure in which they are determining moral guilt in the legal sense,” Betz said. “They are simply determining whether or not the terms and conditions of the code of conduct
were violated, and it does not require overwhelming evidence.” Committing sexual assault violates the Student Code’s standards regarding sexual misconduct. And if found in violation of any portion of the code, a student may suffer a variety of repercussions, including possible dismissal from the University. “If the University (finds you in) possible violation of the code, you are given notice,” said campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler. “At that point, you can come in and talk to the University and try to explain the situation if you think there are mitigating circumstances.” An undergraduate student conduct subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Student Discipline will then listen and make a decision regarding each case, Kaler said. The subcommittee is composed of both faculty and student members.
Farber said that the subcommittee makes decisions “based on all of the facts and circumstances of each case.” According to the 2011 annual report for SCSD, the committee met 14 times in the last fiscal year. In total, 2,033 discipline cases were evaluated, 15 of which revolved around sexual misconduct. Of those 2,033 cases, 44 resulted in a student’s dismissal from the University. Although Farber could not confirm that O’Donnell or Roman will go through this disciplinary process, he said the vast majority of respondents, or those found in violation of the Student Code, will go before the subcommittee. He said that after the final ruling, students can potentially petition to be readmitted at a later time. “The petition committee will determine whether or not the
petitioner will be readmitted and under what conditions or restrictions if they are,” Farber said. These conditions can range from required substance-abuse counseling, appropriate- and healthyrelationships workshops, service to the community, research, and reflective essays on the impact of assault on the victim and the community, Farber said. Betz said that the attorneys at legal services represent students in a court setting if they are charged with misdemeanor crimes, such as a traffic violation, but not a felony. However, legal services will not represent the student in front of the University subcommittee. “In the administrative process at the University, we will advise students, ‘This is what the process

RAs quit over conflict with management
Chicago teachers back to work
Ex-employee of Illini Tower raises attention online BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER
Ryan Kuramitsu said that at the time of his hiring, he and about 14 other resident assistants at Illini Tower were under the impression that they would receive free room and board, parking and meals. But when he went to the private certified housing unit for spring training, the sophomore in DGS said he and his co-workers were informed that if they wanted to continue working there, they would
have to pay $5,745 for housing fees. The story gained attention among students after Kuramitsu posted about his experience in a blog post that has since accumulated over 140 Facebook shares. Kuramitsu said upon being handed the new contract in May 2012, most RAs quit on the spot, with only a few remaining. He said he agreed to stay and pay the housing fees “for the experience,” but “the team was shattered.” IT is owned and operated by Australia-based Campus Living Villages. Kuramitsu said he thinks management was trying follow the international trend

Members of the Chicago Teachers Union’s House of Delegates celebrate after the delegates voted to suspend the strike against the school district Tuesday in Chicago. The city’s teachers agreed to return to the classroom after more than a week on the picket lines, ending a spiteful stalemate with Mayor Rahm Emanuel that put teacher evaluations and job security at the center of a national debate.

Beyond Coal campaign takes further step After agreement to end coal use by 2017, group aims to divest UI of coal interests Following last year’s success in making the University pledge to stop using coal power by 2017, members of a University branch of the national Beyond Coal campaign are looking to take a further step: end any University investment in coal companies. The group will strategize ways to persuade the University to suspend investments in coal companies at its kickoff meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday at the University YMCA. They hope to present their fi ndings at an upcoming board of trustees meeting. The University of Illinois Foundation invests donors’
money in various areas, but because the foundation is an independent organization, this information is private. “We’re pushing for the campus to divest in coal as soon as possible,” said Katrina Underwood of the Beyond Coal Campaign. “It’s becoming globally recognized that coal is an outdated energy source. There are so many health hazards, and the mining practices are extremely destructive.” The foundation, which fundraises for all three campuses, had a total of $1.6 5 billion dollars in private donations as of last June, said Donald Kojich , vice president for marketing

and communications for the foundation. Kojich said can choose where their money goes. “Our foundation board, which consists of 20-plus members has fiduciary responsibilities to help forward and advance the University and the University’s assets,” he said. Kojich could not provide information about whether the foundation invests in coal companies by press time. Because the University agreed to the 2017 deadline, representatives from the plant have been looking for alternative energy sources, such as natural gas and biofuels, campaign members said. The group formed about a year ago after a group of students had the idea to push for the University to sign a pledge to stop using coal-fueled power. “Since our campaign to get

Tens of thousands of parents were forced to find alternatives for idle children, including many whose neighborhoods have been wracked by gang violence in recent months. Tuesday’s vote was not on the contract offer itself, but on whether to continue the strike. The contract will now be submitted to a vote by the full membership of
more than 25,000 teachers. The walkout was the first for a major American city in at least six years. It drew national attention because it posed a highprofi le test for teachers unions, which have seen their political influence threatened by a growing reform movement. Unions have pushed back against efforts to expand charter schools, bring in private companies to help with failing schools and link teacher evaluations to student test scores. The strike carried political implications, too, raising the risk of a protracted labor battle in President Barack Obama’s hometown at the height of the fall campaign, with a prominent Democratic mayor and Obama’s former chief of staff squarely in the middle. Emanuel’s forceful demands for reform have angered the teachers.

Less than a week after the meeting, Kuramitsu and Harris found a new apartment, signed a lease and abruptly left IT. Robert Lemiesz, sophomore in LAS, is a current resident of IT.

My RA moved somewhere else, but we really don’t know what is going on,� Lemiesz said. “But I do know that with all the staff being fi red, it took them a week to fi x our shower. It does affect the residents.� Since his departure from IT, Kuramitsu said more RAs have been let go, although he is unsure of the reasoning behind their dismissal. Kuramitsu stands by his decision to leave but has had to overcome the idea that he’s abandoning his residents. “It’s been really hard because I put so much (of my) identity into this job,� Kuramitsu said. “But IT needs to realize that we’re not numbers, we’re people.

Developer proposes new apartment complex in Urbana on University Ave. DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Florida-based Bainbridge Companies’ proposal for a $30 million, 510-bedroom apartment complex on University Avenue in Urbana is making its way through city channels for approval, according to Tom Carrino, economic development manager for the city. The apartment complex would sit on the 1000 block of University Avenue, near the intersection with Goodwin Avenue. Residents would have access to a seven-level, 401-space parking deck off Goodwin. The fi ve-
fl oor residential part of the complex would house the 197 units: 24 one-bedroom, 103 twobedroom and 70 four-bedroom apartments. A mixed-use part of the complex along University Avenue would have 2,000 square feet for retail and leasing offices on the ground fl oor and a lounge and patio area for residents on the above floors. Parking would be available for these businesses through a driveway off University Avenue that cuts through the building leading to 14 parking spaces.
Urbana’s Plan Commission has recommended approval for the project to receive a special use permit. The Zoning Board of Appeals will discuss the plan Sept. 19, before Urbana City Council would consider the special use permit Oct. 15 . Carrino said he expects Bainbridge would “probably like to start construction as soon as the weather allows,� assuming Urbana approves the project. He said he would expect the project to fi nish sometime in 2014.

JOHNIVAN DARBY THE DAILY ILLINI
Students should see returns of cost-cutting methods, budget
As
students familiar with tuition rises over the past several years, we hardly flinch anymore at the sight of an increased budget, much less a $5.4 billion budget. But when we look at the breakdown of money allocation, we find ourselves wondering who is benefitting from these cost-cutting methods. Attempts to save money are usually admirable, but the reality is that students are not seeing the returns of any of these cuts, and those students should be the main focus of the University’s decision-makers. We can respect the University’s desire to move away from heavy dependence on a state whose economy and government have been less-than-reliable in recent years, but doing so at the expense of the students seems unfair at best. The price of tuition continues to increase, which can begin to deter more and more students in-state and out-of-state alike from attending the University, especially when in-state rates rise above out-of-state costs at other comparable universities. While numbers show that in Fall 2011, almost half of undergraduates were not paying full tuition, there are still about 20,000 students paying the sticker price, most with little to no financial assistance. And the demands continue to rise to pay off former professors and other employees by way of a thoroughly bloated pension system, which will consume an additional $227.6 million this year, bumping up our pension and health care payments over $1 billion. It’s taking a toll, and most of us — especially the Illinois residents — understand the difficulty of this situation. University officials continue to point the finger at the state for declining funding, and as students we have to stop and ask what is being done as far as relief for us in this struggle. Administrative cost reallocation is positive in theory but to the tune of $50 million in proportion to a $5.4 billion budget, it isn’t making a dent. This number is only expected to rise to $60 million in two years. It seems further cuts still need to be made. Then there are the faculty and staff pay raises. While keeping quality faculty here is as important to us as it is for administrators, no one can deny that this is another area where students will have to make up for the difference. While the research at the University has increased, faculty, some of whom lead this research, continue to leave faster than the University can replace them. After all, a successful experience for students on a research project depends on the relationship between a student and the faculty member with whom they are researching — that may prove difficult when the faculty member they begin their project with leaves before its finished. As we continue to press Illinois for money — $749 million-worth in FY2014 — we ought to work on what we can control, instead of shirking the costs onto students for the faults of the state’s economy.

Soltys, a resident adviser, was taking his residents through the booths on Quad Day when a girl approached his group and said, “Hey, they have free T-shirts, and you can sign up for one or get one if you are already a donor.” Michael Schubert said he would have gone ahead and registered as a donor because it’s a great cause. But the concern is that people coming up to the booth could have done so with no knowledge of what they’re signing up for. “They could have been more straightforward. ... People might not be getting into what they think they are,” Schubert said. “A lot of organizations are doing what we’re doing, giving an incentive to join. But the opportunity is still there to change the decision,” Sullivan said about Gift of Hope using free T-shirts to attract passers-by. “We have not done anything like this before. We can use that in our experience, and we can do a better job communicating through people, tell people what we’re there for and even include information should you change your mind.” It’s clear that there is no malicious intent behind the efforts of donor networks to add people to the registry, but the decision carries a weight: It’s what you choose to do with your body. That decision-making process should be paid full respect. An event like Quad Day belittles organ donor registration by making it seem like another University registered student organization trying to recruit hundreds of signatories, especially because these signatories may not know exactly what they are signing up for.
ep. Michele Bachmann may not have a firm grip on reality. She may believe that it is possible to “pray the gay away.” Heck, she may even lead witch hunts against hard-working Muslim Americans she believes to be part of the Muslim brotherhood. The one thing that can be confidently said about Bachmann is that she sticks to her guns. Bachmann may not share your beliefs, but she must be respected for sticking to a core set of ideals, even under intense pressure from opponents. Unfortunately for Republicans, Mitt Romney was born without a core. Since the minute he entered public life as a Massachusetts senatorial candidate in 1993, Romney’s stances on issues have been tracked, and the results are troubling. On dozens of issues, Romney has flip-flopped his view to fit the relevant audience. The most glaringly obvious transformation is on health care. In 2005, thenGov. Romney signed a bill dubbed “Romneycare,” requiring state residents to purchase health care through an individual mandate. The move was popular in the blue state he called home. It also became a model for President Barack Obama’s signature Affordable Care Act legislation passed in 2010. The Center for American Progress Action Fund went as far as to say that Obamacare and Romneycare “share the goal of expanding access to quality health care. And both laws contain the same building blocks.” Last spring, Romney faced a tough race in the Republican presidential primaries, seeking conservative votes in red states. His view on health care reform took a sharp right, and he promised a full repeal of Obamacare. In the current general election, Romney is seeking the votes of all Americans, especially swing-state moderates. This has caused him to take a soft left and just last week claimed, “I’m not getting rid of all health care reform.” Like health care, the issue of a woman’s right to choose has been a long and winding road for Romney. During his 1994 campaign against Ted Kennedy, Romney said, “I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country.” This remained his position of record throughout his time as governor. However, in a not-so-shocking turn of events, Romney wrote “I am pro-life” in a June 2011 op-ed for The National Review. This was at a time when he was revving up his presidential campaign engine for the far-right-dominated Republican primaries. Sure, Obama has evolved on issues like gay marriage. The difference is that marriage equality is an issue evolving in this country still. In fact, a July Pew Research Poll found that 48 percent of Americans now support marriage equality, which is up a staggering 17 percentage points from 2004 results. The list of Romney’s flip-flops could fill this entire newspaper. What’s clear, though, is that whether he is shifting left or veering right, Romney’s beliefs are not guided by core principles. It is more likely that he is guided by the politically savvy GPS system in his campaign bus. I can almost picture the soft, New England accent of his Garmin guiding him to take major stances on important policy issues. As he enters Texas, it might whisper, “In 8 miles, turn right and release a statement affirming that you will repeal Obamacare.” After making a wrong turn into California, it will begin to recalculate and say, “Make a U-turn and retract your belief that global warming is real.” In all seriousness, the next president will be faced with an array of tough situations. These will be problems that no amount of advice or public opinion polling can solve. These will be lonely moments in which the commander-inchief will only be guided by his internal compass to what is “right.” Right now Mitt Romney is asking voters to believe in him and “Believe in America” by electing him president. He may very well be the next president and feel the need to install that same GPS system in Air Force One. Before allowing that to happen, though, voters must realize that there is a difference between a vague, people-pleasing candidate and a president leading without principles. The point of a democracy is to elect leaders whose values reflect those of the electorate. Mr. Romney has made a career out of reflecting the values of who he is talking to at any given time. How can Americans be expected to strongly believe in Mitt Romney when Mitt Romney doesn’t strongly believe in anything?

Organ donation a heavy choice NORA IBRAHIM Opinions columnist
T
here’s a sea of thousands of students. They’re meandering the multitude of booths and crisscrossed concrete paths, looking for the next organization worth signing up for (and perhaps receiving the free Frisbee or potted plant pending their signature). Quad Day is an animated bustle, and the people are hustling. Of the variety of booths present, one booth in particular arguably stands out from the rest: Gift of Hope, the organ- and tissue-donor network in the Illinois area. The turnout for this booth is phenomenal; it’s raking in quite a crowd: Almost 10 people are registering to be an organ donor per minute. By the end of the day, the group would break the world record of registering the most people in a single day — at 2,262. That means that most people had only a few minutes — and some not even 30 seconds — to complete the entire process of registration. Michael Schubert, sophomore in Engineering, went up to the booth, aware that he could receive a free T-shirt by signing up. He was asked for a form of identification and his T-shirt size, but that’s all. What he didn’t understand was that he was being registered to be an organ donor within the 30-second transaction.
you undergo as an organ donor and the good it does for society, the organ-transplant waiting list was only going to get longer. Today, of the population eligible for organ donation, only 57 percent opt to do so, said Tony Sullivan, spokesman for Gift of Hope.
Educating the public The misconceptions surrounding organ donation made education to the public about its role in research and saving patients an imperative, and that’s exactly why groups like Gift of Hope distill this kind of information. “Our primary method of raising awareness is through public education, and one of the best channels to bring that message is through health fairs,” Sullivan said. “If you got out on Quad Day, we had a light-hearted mascot to draw attention to Gift of Hope and what we try to do — getting people to register as organ donors.” Representatives of the organization were available to anybody interested in talking about donor registration, answering every question asked. But the problem is that not everyone will go out of their way to seek that information. And understanding what you’re signing up for is still necessary for something as weighty as being an organ donor — even if it’s a good thing. It’s much like a physician treating a cancer patient with chemotherapy: That doctor has the duty to inform his patient of all effects of the treatment, even if it’s well-intended. Ensuring a potential donor gives full consent involves a full understanding of both the risks and benefits. According to the advisory committee on organ transplantation to the Department of Health and Human Services, a person giving consent to being a live donor is required to be willing to donate, fully aware of the risks and benefits possible of himself and of the recipient, among other requirements. At an event as hectic and chaotic as Quad Day, there is no way to be sure that every registered person is briefed on the benefits and risks. “We certainly try to establish why we’re there. We speak to them as young adults and give them the information that we can,” Sullivan said. “There’s a lot of activity, and it’s kind of chaotic. ... We don’t have a long time for that exchange. We try to tell them our purpose and hope they make a wise decision at that point, but it’s not that they’re locked into it for life if they don’t want to be.”
What he didn’t understand was that he was being registered to be an organ donor within the 30-second transaction.
The history behind organ donor legislation The gap between the number of people registered as organ or tissue donors and people on a waiting list was becoming more severe in the 1980s. But more than that, the number of policies regulating organ transplants — who could carry out the procedures, what constitutes “death” and who would be the recipients of those transplants — were unclear. It was because of this that the National Organ Transplant Act was passed in 1984. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the law accredited the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, run by the secretary of health and human services. A few years later, it was mandated that a thirdparty, private organization (United Network for Organ Sharing) be under contract with the federal government to operate its administrative tasks. These instated regulations made those situations that could facilitate an ethical lapse impossible, like the ones we end up seeing on “House” or “E.R.,” where the physician has to decide whether the organ donor is worth keeping alive for the sake of another patient. In fact, the surgeons who perform the transplant surgeries are required to be different from the ones who work with the patient in need. Still, the public’s negative associations with organ donation and what “rights they may give up” hindered organ- and tissuedonor networks from reaching all eligible donors. Because people didn’t fully understand the process
information, name, address and hit the submit button. Registration needs to be that easy. Who would go through 10 minutes of checking off and filling out personal data? But I wondered how easy it could be for someone to be removed from that registry if he or she signed up under pretense. First things first, nearly everything bureaucracy-related in today’s modern age can be found online, and if it can’t be, it likely doesn’t exist. There is, indeed, a Web page for requesting removal from the donor registry, found via Illinois’s DMV website. But the language of third-party networks don’t make it easy to access. Via Gift of Hope, for example, you will find the only way to remove yourself from the registry is by contacting “the Illinois Secretary of State’s office via phone, the Internet or mail to request removal from the registry.” I signed up in less than 30 seconds, but I spent more than 30 minutes trying to find the link that would remove me from the registry. If you’ve registered online or in person, you should receive a letter a few weeks later thanking you for your contribution and covering what you can do if you change your mind. But for many, that letter might never get to them. Matthew Soltys, senior in LAS and AHS, registered when he renewed his license at the DMV but did not remember receiving information about how to remove himself from the registry. He clarified that he had been told about the benefits of being an organ donor but not of the risks.
“Free T-shirt!”
At an event as hectic and chaotic as Quad Day, there is no way to be sure that every registered person is briefed on the benefits and risks.
Registering and getting removed from the registry When I first started researching venues that can register organ donors, I originally thought it was primarily at two locations: the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Internet. At the DMV, they would ask if you would consent to being in the registry when you renew your license (once every 10 years for most people). And online, you directly consent to being in the registry in the 28 seconds it takes to fill out your driver’s license

Mashed cauliflower makes healthy stand-in side dish JULIA MARBACH Staff writer
W
ith two recipes under our belt, it’s time to conclude the three-part series of popular recipes with healthy substitutes for common ingredients. We’ve crossed dessert and a main course off our list, and now it’s time to tackle a commonly loved side: mashed potatoes. This recipe uses cauliflower in place of potatoes as a way of cutting calories.
Mock Garlic Mashed Potatoes SUBSTITUTE: cauliflower for potatoes REVIEW: 5 out of 5 stars These cauliflower “mashed potatoes” tasted just like the real thing. I would use this recipe in place of real potatoes any day. I could honestly not tell a difference. The recipe itself was not difficult, but I had to make a few adjustments. For example, the original recipe did not have milk, but I added a little to get the blender to work properly. I also omitted the butter because they still tasted great with out it. These cauliflower “mashed potatoes” were rich, creamy and had the perfect amount of garlic and seasoning. If your goal is to make the dish healthier with fewer calories, it is important not to overdo other ingredients, such as cheese and butter, said Rebecca Roach, food science and human nutrition teaching associate. “It depends on what your goals are and what else you do to the dish,” Roach said. “For a lot of people, if they use, say, zucchini for noodles, they’ll put on two tons more cheese, thinking, ‘I can do that because I left the noodles out.’ And they’ve blown any benefit there.” The entire recipe (without butter) is about 300 calories. Each serving is about 50 calories. One cup of raw cauliflower is 25 calories, whereas a cup of diced potatoes is about 120 calories.

Students balance homework, pets BY MORGAN QUILICI AND ALISON MARCOTTE STAFF WRITER AND ASST. FEATURES EDITOR
Studies have shown that caring for a pet can not only lower one’s stress level, but also extend one’s lifespan. Yet, with strict pet policies in some Champaign-Urbana realty companies’ contracts, many apartment dwellers have not had the opportunity to experience these benefits. However, some students’ apartments have given them the freedom to live with some unconventional yet lovable creatures. Ashley Holloway, junior in LAS, is one of these individuals. Although Holloway’s apartment has only four bedrooms, she’s accompanied by a fifth roommate that occupies an end table against the wall in her bedroom: a tortoise that she calls Myrtle the Turtle. Holloway bought Myrtle when she was 13 at Chicago Reptile House in Orland Park. “My parents didn’t want me to have a furry pet because they hate fur, so I was like, ‘What about a tortoise?’” Holloway said. Her mom complied, but said, “Don’t tell Dad.” Katie Chiang’s apartment is also inhabited by a four-legged creature — two of them, in fact. Last summer, the junior in ACES received two sugar gliders as a gift from a sugar glider breeder in Gibson City, after helping socialize and take care of the sugar gliders at the breeder’s home. She got the two sugar gliders, which are named Aldolein and Vanilla Latte, when they were nine months old. Chiang said the name Aldolein means “destroyer of worlds” in the game “Skyrim.” “I just found them very interesting,” Chiang said of her pets, which weigh 50 grams each. “They were just curious creatures, and something about them really just sparked my interest.” Like Chiang and Holloway, Betsy Unterberg, junior in Media, has her share of stories about living with a pet – in her situation, a teacup piglet. However, while both Chiang and Holloway can enjoy the company of their pets, Unterberg no longer has that option. “Poly would squeal just non-stop. The girls I live with now were not about to have a petting zoo in our living room,” Unterberg said. Last summer, Unterberg and her friend, Amy Jarosz, junior in Business, bought the pig from a pig breeder outside of St. Louis. The idea to buy the pig came from a small joke between the two of them. “It just kind of spiraled off into us talking to breeders, and all of a sudden I was driving to East St. Louis to pick up a piglet,” Unterberg said. The pig now lives in an apartment at Illinois State University, where Jarosz’s friend goes to school. Unterberg tries to visit the pig every two weeks or so. “She’s a cutie and I miss her,” she said. “It was
COLOR FROM PAGE 6A the most notable example being Pepsi’s special shade of blue. “There is some amount of work that goes into (a company’s advertisement color choice) where people might do focus groups or testing,” said Brittany Duff, professor of advertising. “It’s extremely important, so they do spend time and money, but sometimes it could be as simple as just seeing what somebody likes or what’s different than other people.” A company strives, above all, to stand out from their competitors. They want to be remembered, and one way to do this is not only through color but through strategy of color placement. Last year, Duff published an article in the Journal of Advertising all about distractors in advertisements. Oftentimes, ads use color so excessively that the whole message gets lost in the patterns. “That’s actually where you also see ads that use white space. So those Volkswagen Beetle ads that were iconic of the ’60s, they just had a picture of the car on a lot of white space,” she added. “It’s so different from everything else.” The minimalist ads for 1960s-era VW gave color, or perhaps lack of color, a whole new

just kind of hard because I did spend the majority of my summer with her, and it’s just weird to go from spending all that time taking care of her to nothing.” Like Unterberg, Chiang’s situation also reflects some of the challenges that students face while living with pets. Aldolein and Vanilla Latte’s daily diet of live mealworms did not sit well in the stomachs of her two roommates. “My roommates were like, ‘Yeah, you have to get a separate fridge,’” Chiang said. “I don’t blame them.” Although Holloway didn’t experience hesitation from her roommates, she has faced difficulties taking care of a pet while balancing school. “It’s harder than I anticipated because my parents had her for the first two years I was here,” Holloway said. “It’s mostly remembering to do the little things. That’s probably the hardest part.” Holloway’s tasks include cleaning out the cage; bathing the tortoise; making sure the aquarium’s heat lamp and UV lamp are functioning well; and feeding Myrtle fresh romaine lettuce, spinach and occasionally fruit. While owning a pet while in college has its challenges, many pet owners on campus feel the positives outweigh the negatives. Holloway said the best part of having Myrtle as a pet is taking care of her. “I think it’s really fun to take care of something that is dependent on you. It doesn’t talk or complain. It’s just kind of there, and it’s really happy that you take care of it,” Holloway said. Sometimes just the presence of another is enough to make one happy. “She is a lot of fun to watch,” Holloway said. “It helps me stay happier because I know she is depending on me to feed her and bathe her, and she is a nice thing to have next to me.”

meaning among the vivid ads of the time. In fact, they symbolized their own avant-garde art form of the decade. “Color has always been important, but things do shift because of trends and fads,” said Patrick Hammie, professor of painting. “When you think of the ’70s, you have a very specific idea of those types of colors and those patterns, and the same thing is going to be said about us today, but we can’t see it because we’re doing it now.” Not only is color signified differently depending on its place in history, but it also sets a tone for the period. For instance, the hues of the ’70s are thought to be vastly different than those of the ’20s and ’30s in the economic downturn. “Whenever we romanticize the past, we typically see it through very neutral fibers. When you think of the Great Depression, it’s always grays and browns,” Hammie added. A number of Hammie’s art pieces are currently displayed in the Krannert Art Museum as part of the faculty exhibition, set to end Sept. 23. Hammie’s focus is “the figure and representation, and in particular, the nude figure.” He concentrates mainly on race and identity within his art, using color to rep-
resent flesh and skin tones. While he likes to emphasize the black male, he often integrates other races to underscore the differences and similarities of color through race. “The traits that are associated with race are biologically real, so there is real variation of skin color,” said Mikhail Lyubansky, lecturer of psychology with a focus on race relations. “However, there is also real variation in hair color, and there is real variation in eye color, and we tend to not give those very much meaning ... and the meaning that we give (skin) is the social construction.” “The idea of black and white is rhetorical. They’re ideal — no one is white and no one is black,” Hammie said. “What happens to those people who are not so easily rhetorical in terms of those identifications? ... What does that mean in terms of how we think about race through color?” All in all, we can see that color engulfs our psyche, burrowing deep into the depths of our mind. Many times we don’t give too much thought to our subliminal processes, but now you know: The next time you decide to wear a blue shirt in Italy, be aware of the hidden social consequences.

MEANING OF COLOR Just looking at a color can influence how you think depending on your culture

hink of the world if we couldn’t perceive color. What would we interpret differently? How would our awareness change within this less vibrant atmosphere? How would our lives be transformed? The fact is, while we might not realize it through our day-to-day lives, color is highly integrated in our ways of thinking, consciously and unconsciously. It affects us as consumers, as artists, as creative thinkers and as representatives of our culture. Ravi Mehta, professor of business specializing in consumer behavior, conducted a study in 2009 about how color influences our functioning in cognitiverelated tasks. “People have different associations with colors. When you think of red, what

people ... think about is danger, mistakes, things like those. And that makes (the people) more attentive,” he said. “But if I tell them to think about blue, people think about sky, openness, freedom. And that is what makes them feel a little safe where they can explore, take risks, and they become more creative.” Based on these observations, Mehta had his test subjects perform a series of psychological tasks that were either attention-based (red) or creativity-based (blue). For example, subjects were asked to choose between two types of toothpaste: one that boasted cavity prevention (avoidance, red) or one that advertised teeth whitening (approach-oriented, blue). The results showed that more people chose the first choice when it was paired with a red background, and the same hap-
pened for the second choice on a blue background. These conclusions, therefore, showed a correlation between cognitive decision-making and the colors red and blue. But what happens when you stray away from a Western way of thinking? Mehta’s study was done in North America, and the results may not be relevant to all cultures. This Western way of thinking may not be pertinent to how the other half of the world perceives color. “It is not clear what the underlying mechanism in the brain is, like what makes blue seem calming and soothing to us and what makes red arousing,” said Evelina Tapia, postdoctoral fellow in psychology. “But I also heard — and it was really bizarre — that in Italy, the blue color was very arousing to men, but very
soothing to women, because supposedly the national soccer team in Italy is blue.” According to a kavlifoundation.org article, blue sugar pills tend to help put people to sleep in placebo sleeping pill trials. This color association is almost all-encompassing; it spans many cultures — except not in Italy, where blue is stimulating instead of relaxing. “So the culture in which we live and the objects which are associated with specific colors can really influence our behavior,” Tapia said. The fact that color association works through our psyche means that color is also a vast portion of the advertising business. Many companies have copyrights on certain colors in their advertisements,

Editor’s note: Big 10 of the Big Ten is a collection of tidbits from around the conference. This weekly feature provides a recap from the previous slate of games and also serves as a preview to the upcoming football weekend.
First victory for Penn State
The Nittany Lions notched the first victory of the Bill O’Brien era, defeating Navy 34-7 on Saturday, and recorded the first official Penn State victory since Nov. 22, 1997. (The NCAA vacated all of Joe Paterno’s wins from 1998 through 2011.)

Northwestern is the only team in the nation with three straight victories over BCS opponents. With a win over Boston College on Saturday, the Wildcats remain undefeated and have a strong chance of a 4-0 start with a final nonconference matchup against FCS opponent South Dakota.
Struggles continue for Wisconsin
One week after falling to Oregon State, the Badgers barely escaped Camp Randall Stadium with a win Saturday. Wisconsin, the preseason favorite to win the Leaders Division with Ohio State and Penn State ineligible, nearly dropped its second game of the season against Utah State but hung on to win 16-14.
Second string is the new first
Three Big Ten backups saw action this weekend in replace of injured starters. Reilly O’Toole had a career day for Illinois as Nathan Scheelhaase missed his second straight game with an ankle injury. Cam Coffman and Nate Sudfeld have filled in for Hoosiers quarterback Tre Roberson, and Max Shortell threw three touchdowns for the Golden Gophers in MarQueis Gray’s absence.
Top offensive performance
Braxton Miller threw the game-winning 72-yard touchdown pass in the Buckeyes 35-28 win over California. He had career highs of 249 passing yards and four touchdowns.
Top defensive performance
Michael Mauti of Penn State had a team-high 12 tackles in the Nittany Lions’ 34-7 victory over Navy. He was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week for the second time of his career.

Jocelynn Birks
In the biggest game of her career, Birks led the Illini to a weekend sweep at the Texas Invitational. She hit .204 on 54 kill attempts in the five-set victory over No. 6 Texas. BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Student-athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success. Despite garnering tournament MVP and Big Ten Freshman and Player of the Week honors, Jocelynn Birks — as well as head coach Kevin Hambly and almost any Illini player or coach you ask — would be quick to disperse credit for this weekend’s performance at the Texas Invitational. Hambly called the two-match stretch Illinois’ most consistent weekend in terms of total team effort. But in the biggest game of her young Illinois career, Birks delivered a performance that speaks for itself. After losing the first set to the then-No. 6 Longhorns 25-18, it was Birks who capped the next two sets with clinching kills, two of her 21 on the night, as Illinois went up 2-1 by winning consecutive sets by a score
of 25-21. Illinois would go on to win in five sets. Birks hit .204 on 54 kill attempts against Texas — lower than her season-to-date average of .255, but enough to carry Illinois offensively. Where she really improved markedly, Hambly said, was on defense. “Jocelynn did great back there,” he said. “She definitely made a jump (in passing performance), but it’s hard to say that because she didn’t really play back row except for against the Dayton match.” Her hitting came easier as the weekend went on and she played teams of lesser caliber than the freakishly athletic Longhorns. She hit .394 with 15 kills in a three-set rout of Central Florida and .262 against a gritty Cincinnati team looking to avenge a loss from a week prior. Birks has been the leading hitter throughout the preconference season and will likely continue in that role for the rest of her career at Illinois. Thus far, she has averaged a team-leading 4.26 kills per set. Liz McMahon is second on the team with 2.33 kills per set. Ali Stark, currently averaging 1.12
kills per set, should see her numbers increase, as she returned in earnest from an ankle sprain this weekend and had 95 kill attempts in three games, second to Birks’ 152. Stark’s presence in the lineup was what allowed Birks to play more of the back row, Hambly said. Birks had 40 digs on the weekend and put up three double-double (kill-digs) games. She had none prior to this weekend. “I’m really excited to be able to do what I can for the team and help everyone out. If that’s what they need me to do, I’m happy to take on that role, and I’m excited that I can do it,” Birks said, emphasizing the word “can” in the last sentence. Birks’ kill production was directly tied to the passing of Annie Luhrsen. The senior setter had a season-high 52 assists against Texas. She said having Birks — whom she had previously called a “subtly confident player” — as a target makes things pretty easy for her. “When you talk about setting hitters, you kinda talk about ... the range that the set needs to be in, and Joce-

Illinois' Justin Hardee hauls in the ball as he is hit against Charleston Southern on Saturday. The freshman stood out, catching five passes for 99 yards in the 44-0 victory.
Amid injuries and depth concerns, Illini freshman wide receiver Hardee steps up BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER
With five touchdown passes in Saturday’s game against Charleston Southern, Illinois quarterback Reilly O’Toole received much of the postgame attention. But it was two of the sophomore’s targets that accounted for 196 of his 333 yards. After wide receiver Darius Millines left Saturday’s game with a shoulder injury, junior Ryan Lankford and freshman Justin Hardee stepped up to fill their teammate’s shoes. Lankford caught seven passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns — both career bests — while Hardee pulled in five passes for 99 yards, including a game-long
48-yard reception in the third quarter. Hardee came into training camp in August as a defensive back but was moved to wide receiver during the first week with the team to support a thin wide receiving corp. “He’s a quick learner,” cooffensive coordinator Billy Gonzales said Tuesday. “To be out there and be able to change multiple positions, multiple formations, he’s done a great job as far as that. He stepped up and wasn’t afraid to go out there and make plays.” O’Toole said Saturday’s game showed his young receivers’ strengths, including Hardee’s. When an upperclassman, like Millines, goes down with injury,
O’Toole said, the younger guys don’t miss a beat. Hardee played both offense and defense at Glenville High School in Cleveland. With 190 pounds on his 6-foot-1 frame, he is bulky, but Gonzales said Hardee has great speed and quickness for his size. He is a good complement to Lankford, who is smaller and faster. “(Lankford) gives you some top-end speed,” Gonzales said. “He’s always an attention-todetail type guy, he cares about what his responsibilities are and he wants to create a winning performance. You never have to tell Lank to go hard.” Alluding Hardee’s success,

paper, Illinois’ football schedule is a feasible slate that the Illini can achieve bowl eligibility through. After the first three games, a 2-1 record is a decent start. But more realistically, the Illini have won the games they were supposed to and dropped the one that was going to be a long shot. Of the first three games, Saturday’s contest against Charleston Southern was the most complete film the Illini have had. Sure they won 44-0, but there were three distinct moments in the game that took any wind out of the Buccaneers’ sails. As he showed all game Saturday, quarterback Reilly O’Toole was on his game. What was interesting about the two passes that made up 93 of his 333 passing yards was that they were very similar plays. Both plays started with the eventual targets, Ryan Lankford and Justin Hardee, lined up on opposite sides. In each play, Lankford and Hardee streaked up the middle of the field and split the hole in the secondary to convert the two longest plays for the Illini offense that day. The thing that made O’Toole’s completion to Hardee that much more impressive was the fact that he made the throw with enough zip on it to negate the fact that he was getting hit.

Illinois' Reilly O'Toole runs the ball against Charleston Southern at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. O’Toole threw for 333 yards in the 44-0 win. Those plays were two of O’Toole’s best throws Saturday. He only had five incompletions, and his worst one happened down near the end zone. Charleston Southern countered Illinois’ five-wide set with six rushers, something O’Toole didn’t account for with his preplay read. What he needed to do was have the offensive linemen adjust its blocking scheme to account for the extra rusher, but he didn’t. Instead, what happened was that one Charleston Southern defensive lineman who wasn’t picked up on the line came bull rushing through the middle, and O’Toole reacted by lofting a pass toward the end zone that was eventually intercepted. Two plays — the interception and Charleston Southern’s longest play from scrimmage, which accounted for 54 of the offense’s 125 yards — were the only bright spots for the Buccaneers. They lined up in their shot-
gun wishbone offense. Quarterback Briar Van Brunt faked the hand off to his running back, who continued up the middle and faked out the Illinois defense. Van Brunt then ran around to the right side and sprinted up the middle of the field. Besides the fake dive, the block that sprung him free was the one made by his wide receiver, who came across the middle from the far side of the field and sealed off defensive back Patrick Nixon-Youman. Van Brunt was ultimately caught from behind, and the Buccaneers didn’t score, but it was the one play that they had the upper hand over the Illinois defense. The Illini then clamped down and Charleston Southern never scored, but the wake up call was evident, and the defense never faltered the rest of the game. Those three plays all

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1B
After three weeks, Ohio State, Northwestern and Minnesota remain the lone unbeaten teams in the conference, none of which started last season with a 3-0 record. Both Indiana and Michigan State spoiled 2-0 starts this weekend with loses to Ball State and Notre Dame, respectively.
Lankford said the mystique of the college game began to fade away following his initial plays as a freshman. “A couple of young guys got that first play down this week and realized that it’s really not that different (from high school),” he said. “It’s a little bit faster, but once you get in and get a couple plays you say, ‘OK, I can do this.’” After three games, the Illinois passing attack is evenly distributed compared to 2011, when A.J. Jenkins accounted for more than half of the Illini’s receiving yards. Five Illini have 50 or more receiving yards after three games, and Illinois’ seven passing touchdowns have been thrown to five different receivers. Millines status for this week’s matchup with Louisiana Tech is still unknown. It is likely that Lankford and Hardee will play major roles in the game either way. The Bulldogs’ highpowered offense — which has scored 56 points in each of its fi rst two games against Houston and Rice — will put a lot of pressure on the Illini to score points. Whether O’Toole or the injured Nathan Scheelhaase starts against Louisiana Tech, the Illini will be pressed to keep up with their opponent. “If we can control the ball and let our defense do their job, we’ve just got to execute,” Gonzales said. “At the same time, we’ve got to be able to produce points when we have (the ball). We’re not worried about trying to get in a track race with anybody.”

Where they rank
The latest AP polls have Ohio State at No. 16 , Michigan at No. 18 , Michigan State at No. 21 and Nebraska at No. 25 . Michigan State is the latest Big Ten squad to drop in the rankings. Ohio State fell from No. 12 to No. 16 despite defeating California. Michigan is still slowly climbing its way back after the blowout loss to No. 1 Alabama in Week One.
Game to watch
No. 18 Michigan at No. 11 Notre Dame will be the featured game on Saturday. We all know what happened last year. Michigan scored 28 points in the fourth quarter to down the Fighting Irish in the fi rst night game in Michigan Stadium’s history. Saturday’s game should be another
classic matchup in this historic rivalry.
Game to keep an eye on
Syracuse at Minnesota will be a game to tune into. While the Golden Gophers have yet to lose in 2012, their winning streak will be threatened by the Orange this weekend as they will likely be without starting quarterback Gray, who was injured in last week’s 28-23 win over Western Michigan.

Cutler admits he was wrong for shoving Webb
FROM PAGE 1B Rachel Van Meter, being considered the best hitting prospect Hambly has coached at Illinois is a compliment. “She’s maybe the best prospect we’ve had, attacking-wise, in that position,” he said of Birks. “Better than those other ones. I don’t know, time will tell, but the potential’s there for that.” When talking about his Big Ten Freshman of the Year candidate, Hambly went back and forth, saying she’s great, catching himself, saying she’s going to be great, then adding that she is great at times already. After redshirting a year, Birks is evidently blurring the line between potential and performance. “I think everyone’s potential is limitless, and I think it’s the same for her,” Luhrsen said. “I think it’s gonna be as great as she makes it, and she’s a hard worker, so it’s kind of exciting to see where it can go.”

CHICAGO — Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler acknowledged Tuesday that he was wrong to shove teammate J’Marcus Webb on the sideline during the loss at Green Bay last week. He has no second thoughts about yelling at him, however. “I probably shouldn’t have bumped him, I’ll go with that,” Cutler told WMVP-AM in Chicago. “As far as me yelling at him and trying to get him going in the game, I don’t regret that. I shouldn’t have bumped him, I’ll stick to that.” Cutler drew widespread atten-

FILM ROOM FROM PAGE 1B played a part in Illinois keeping its foot on the gas and finishing out the largest shutout since 1965. Charleston Southern had a $400,000 price tag on its little FCS head, and the Illini avoided a type of whiplash that can occur when a little school comes in with an attitude and makes the most of its opportunity. O’Toole recovered from his early second quarter interception to scorch the Buccaneers’ defense for an Illinois singlegame completion record. Now the Illini have another up-tempo offense on the schedule and have implemented a colored card scheme to offset the speed in which Louisiana Tech operate. It’ll be interesting to see the same time next week if I’m trying to sort out how well the defense adapted to a fast-paced offense or if Arizona State happens all over again.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler walks off the field after being sacked during the Bears' 23-10 loss to the Packers on Thursday in Green Bay, Wis.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw wipes sweat from his face while sitting in the dugout after the sixth inning in a baseball game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sept. 11, in Phoenix.
Dodgers pitcher receives opinion on hip, still benched WASHINGTON — Reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw was examined Tuesday by a hip specialist who said the Los Angeles left-hander can continue to pitch without risking damage to his sore right hip — but the Dodgers want to keep him sidelined if the pain persists. The team said Kershaw would re-start a throwing program Tuesday, when the Dodgers’ scheduled game at the Washington Nationals was postponed by rain. Asked whether Kershaw will pitch again this season, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly replied: “Yeah, maybe. Sounds
like there’s a chance of it.” “What I really want, at the end of the day, is to make sure we do the right thing for Clayton moving forward. I know we’ll do the right thing for him, so that’s not really a concern,” Mattingly said. Kershaw was scratched from a start on Sunday because of the right hip. He is 12-9 with a 2.70 ERA and NL-leading 206 strikeouts this season. The Dodgers said Dr. Bryan Kelly, who saw Kershaw in New York, agreed with team physician Neal ElAttrache’s opinion that Kershaw’s joint is pinched during the hip’s rotation in his pitching motion.
tion for berating and bumping Webb, the starting left tackle, on the sideline and for making some pointed postgame comments after the 23-10 loss to the Packers on Thursday. National analysts such as Terry Bradshaw and Bill Cowher spoke out, and so did Bears defensive back D.J. Moore this week, saying the quarterback was wrong to go after Webb like that. Cutler looked great in a season-opening blowout over Indianapolis, fi nding new receiver Brandon Marshall often, but it was a different story last week. He threw four interceptions and got sacked seven times, an all-
too-familiar sight for a quarterback who took a beating the previous two years under former offensive coordinator Mike Martz. His tirade against Webb and lack of remorse he showed in the postgame interview brought back questions about his leadership and demeanor. As for why the outburst happened at that particular moment, Cutler wasn’t sure. “I can’t put a defi nite reason why it happened,” he said. “It happened. It’s an emotional game. I put a lot into playing quarterback, and I take it seriously. It’s just one of the things that happened during the game..”
Falcons running back charged with driving drunk, speeding BY RUSS BYNUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner was jailed on charges of drunken driving and speeding early Tuesday, just hours after he scored a touchdown in the team’s win over the Denver Broncos. Turner, 30, of Suwanee, Ga., was booked into the Gwinnett County jail in metro Atlanta just after 5 a.m. Turner spent barely two hours behind bars before he was released on $2,179 bond, jail records showed. A Gwinnett County police officer pulled over Turner’s black Audi R8 on Interstate 85 northeast of Atlanta after clocking the car at 97 mph — 32 mph over the speed limit, said Cpl. Edwin Ritter, a police spokesman. “The officer made contact with the driver who identified himself as 30-year-old Michael Turner of the Atlanta Falcons,” Ritter said in a news release. “The officer could smell an odor of alcoholic beverage coming from the driver

and proceeded to conduct a DUI investigation.” Ritter said the officer arrested Turner after a field sobriety test. The police incident report was not immediately available. Hours before his arrest, Turner and the Falcons celebrated a 27-21 home victory over Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. “First and foremost, any time a player sheds negatively on our football team and on our organization, we are very disappointed,” coach Mike Smith said. “This is a legal matter, and it’s very well-defi ned how we have to proceed with it through the league, and we’ll let this process run its course.” Tuesday was the players’ day off, but Smith said he met in his office with Turner. “He knows that we are disappointed in the decisions that he made after the ballgame last night,” Smith said. Smith declined to say whether Turner will be suspended when
the Falcons (2-0) visit San Diego (2-0) on Sunday. “There are certain parameters that are set in place by the collective bargaining agreement and the NFL and the NFLPA,” Smith said. “Those guidelines will be followed in terms of what we can and cannot do. “If there’s going to be any internal discipline, that discipline will stay internally. That will be conversations that we have with Michael and the conversations that we’ve already had this morning.” Turner scored the Falcons’ first touchdown against Denver after jumping over a pileup of Atlanta and Broncos linemen in the first quarter. It was Turner’s 51st touchdown for the Falcons, a franchise record. Turner, who played at Northern Illinois during his college career, joined the Falcons in 2008 after four seasons with the San Diego Chargers. Last year, he rushed for 1,340 yards and 11 touchdowns.
