University Police release 2013 campus crime statistics BY ELYSSA KAUFMAN · CONTRIBUTING WRITER
New report shows increase in drug law arrests and reported sex offenses on campus
The Annual Security Report for 2013 was released on Saturday, outlining crime statistics on campus. Skip Frost, deputy chief of the University Police Department, outlined what the numbers entail.
Sexual assaults

“Figures lie and liars figure. No statistic in and of itself paints an accurate picture of what it’s like on this campus. This is a safe campus, but it is not a crime-free campus. ... We have 43,000 students and live in a community with the same issues that any like-size community would have. ... We want to keep people from being victims by encouraging students to take steps toward safety.” SKIP FROST
UNIVERSITY POLICE DEPUTY CHIEF
DAILYILLINI, DAILYILLINISPORTS
INSIDE
Sexual assault is the most underreported crime on campus, Frost said. While the offenses have increased, the numbers can be misleading because the increase only includes reported offenses. “We believe that our efforts by education through the RAD, or Rape Aggression Defense, program and other outreach programs have convinced people that they need to come forward and report these incidents,” Frost said. Programs similar to RAD and those offered at the Women’s Resource Center educate students on what valid consent means. “It is important that we have this ongoing meaningful conversation and dialogue with our students about the meaning of sexual assaults,” Frost said. The University Police Department takes sexual assault very seriously and follows cases with vigorous investigation and procession, he added.
Burglary
Burglary has decreased, as eight offenses were reported in 2013, but 15 were reported in 2012 and 30 in 2011. Burglary on campus is defined as the intention of theft by entering illegally without a physical interaction. “There are crimes of opportunity. Remove the opportunity to remove the crime,” Frost said. He added that there is a need to make students on campus aware of the importance of locking doors even if all floor members appear trusting.
Robberies
In 2013, 10 robberies were reported on campus, an increase from four robberies reported in both 2012 and 2011. Robbery is defined as theft through force, whether it is with a weapon or by physical force. However, the number can be misleading due to individual cases, Frost said. If a large number of robberies is reported, the increase could have been the same individual in each situation. Once this individual is arrested, the police notice an immediate decrease in robbery.
Domestic and dating violence In past reports, domestic violence and dating violence were not reported in the annual security report. However, amendments made in 2013 to the Violence Against Women Act and the Jeanne Clery Act mandate the information be released in such a report as well as in a public crime log and in the form of statistics.
Drug law arrests
The two most prevalent drugs on campus are alcohol and cannabis, Frost said. He added that even with a prescription, cannabis is not legal on campus, although more students have been trying to claim they have prescriptions for cannabis from states where the drug is legal. However, the legality does not carry over into Illinois. Recently, there has also been an increase in the drug MDMA, also known as Molly. “Those cases (of ecstasy/ molly) are extremely troublesome to us because a lot of times it’s not just the drugs themselves, it’s the behavior and the activity that occurs afterwards, (such as) someone who has a bad experience with a drug that can’t successfully deal with it, such as excited delirium ... If we don’t get them medical treatment very quickly they can expire and die from that.” Additionally, there has been an increase in the possession and selling of prescriptions drugs, such as Adderall, which can be equally as harmful if not taken properly.
Liquor law arrests
The department issues fewer than 150 underage citations a year, Frost said, equivalent to three citations per week. “While drinking may not be our number one focus, it’s something we focus on because we know there is a very strong correlation between alcohol use and abuse; and sexual assaults, batteries, drug offenses,” Frost said. The decrease in liquor law arrests is dependent on the year, and many factors play into the amount of arrests that occur, Frost said. “These are liquor law violations. These are not actually citations and arrests made. When we find someone who’s highly intoxicated, we might not cite them in any way, shape or form, but we issue them an alcohol incapacitation form, which goes to the Alcohol or Other Drug Office,” Frost said.
“Every year, there are subtle changes to what police need to report to their communities in order to be as transparent as possible,” Frost said. The Violence Against Women Act ensures the release of information and reporting on the assaults, specifically against women. In 2013, there were 12 reports of dating violence and nine reports of domestic violence on campus.

CSEC aims to improve its performance Student Election Commission reinstated despite past problems BY ESTEFANIA FLOREZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER
With the November student referendums looming, the Campus Student Election Commission is being rejuvenated after all members resigned last spring. Starting the new academic year in a “completely new territory,” Gina LeeOlukoya, CSEC advisor and associate dean of students, began recruiting graduate and professional students to join the commission. Applications were due Sept. 18. However, since only four people applied, Lee-Olukoya extended the application in hopes more would apply, although none did. CSEC is charged with the task of serving as an independent body to coordi-
nate campus referendums, administer student elections and implement policy changes to election rules. Last spring, the commission faced miscommunication problems with the Illinois Student Senate and the Student Organization Resource Fee board. Several senators expressed concern that CSEC was not handling student elections correctly, and one referenda question was not placed on the ballot due to miscommunication errors. “It is our hope that the new leadership of the CSEC will engage more in direct communication with ISS,” Lee-Olukoya said in an email.

UI receives fusion device for research BY ERIC FRIES CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The recent acquisition of a plasma/fusion advanced physics testing facility at the University will continue to open new opportunities for research on campus. The Nuclear Radiation Laboratory on Goodwin Avenue is currently preparing to receive the dismantled fusion device in approximately five to six weeks, according to University professors. The device has been named the Hybrid Illinois Device for Research and Applications. Daniel Andruczyk, assistant professor of Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering, will oversee research conducted with the device. The HIDRA was given to the University by the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics, a German institute where it was previously known as WEGA. It will be only one of a hand-

Alton Nolen, 30, faces charges of murder, assault and battery with a deadly

LOS ANGELES — For four decades, the Los Angeles skyline has been shaped by one rule: Every tall building must have an emergency helicopter landing pad on its roof. As a result, downtown became a thicket of flattopped skyscrapers, to the chagrin of architects who yearned to imitate or outdo the pointed spires and slanted roofs of skylines around the world. Other big cities had no such regulation. And now, neither does Los Angeles. On Monday, city leaders heralded a code change that allows builders to forego the helipads so long as they put in extra safety features. The change, they say, could remake that flat skyline, unshackle architects and elevate the look of Los Angeles’ cityscape. “Anyone who’s been to New York or cities like Shanghai, Hong Kong and even San Francisco can see how the

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti heralded a rule change Monday that will allow the construction of skyscrapers with spires or slanted roofs. tops of buildings can help to define the identity of a city,” said Michael Woo, a former city councilman who is now dean of the College of Environmental Design at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Downtown’s skyline includes some historic landmark buildings with distinctive tops, such as the Art Deco pyramid on City Hall and the ornate clock
tower of the Eastern Columbia building. By contrast, skyscraper design in other cities has become increasingly exotic. There’s the Shard in London, with its glassy pyramidal tower, the staggered, spiraling heights of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the eye-catching crescent shape of the Bow in Calgary, Alberta. Under the revised regula-
tion, builders will be able to craft skyscrapers that don’t have a rooftop helicopter pad if they include other safety features, such as an extra set of exit stairs or a dedicated fire service elevator for firefighters. Garcetti announced the change Monday alongside other city officials from the dizzyingly high, 32-story rooftop of the AT&T Center downtown.
Marine captivity inspires discord BY SANDRA PEDICINI TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
ORLANDO, Fla. — As controversy over marine captivity has heightened, some attractions are eliminating or scaling back dolphin shows and facing government crackdowns on whale breeding. The long-running debate over keeping marine mammals in captivity was brought into the spotlight after last year’s documentary “Blackfish,” which cast SeaWorld in a harsh light. “It sounds like some of these aquariums are not willing to step into the fight. They’re basically giving up, which is not a good sign for SeaWorld,” said Scott Smith, a University of South Carolina hospitality professor whose specialties include theme parks.

Months or weeks will go by without responses,” Dickey said. “One of the referendums wasn’t placed on the ballot, even though it had received student senate support.” Grace Kyung, graduate student in urban planning, will finally see the result of her work on a campus project with the November referendums.

In general, “what we certainly have seen is that operators are moving away from shows, or doing more modest … kind of educational probicycle-related projects, the question was not placed on the ballot in the spring.

According to CSEC’s bylaws, signatures from seven percent of the student population are required to put the referendum question on the ballot.

He then talked to David Ruzic and Jean Paul Allain, professors of NPRE, about the possibility of acquiring the device. With their support, Andruczyk began the negotiation process to secure the transfer. “I had to make up a business plan, which explained how the investment to get it here will pay dividends to the University,” Ruzic said. Ruzic collaborated with several other professors, including Andruczyk, to persuade the department of NPRE and the College of Engineering to fund the transportation and the reassembly of the device, which cost the University about $1
LOS ANGELES — California has burned through its wildfire-fighting budget — $209 million — just as it faces what is historically the worst of the fire season. And the state already has tapped into its reserves, pulling out $70 million more to combat drought-fueled blazes. Although California rou-

US forces to remain in Afganistan through 2014, provide support KABUL, Afghanistan — The Afghan government signed an agreement Tuesday allowing several thousand American troops to remain in the country beyond the end of the year, ending a long tussle over the U.S. military presence that had soured relations between Kabul and Washington. Finalizing the bilateral strategic agreement, long
sought by the Obama administration, was one of the first acts of the new administration of President Ashraf Ghani, who took office Monday. The agreement allows for a continued U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan after nearly 13 years of war and comes as the mandate of U.S.-led NATO coalition forces expires at the end of the year.
million, according to Ruzic. He said HIDRA and another hybrid device at Auburn College are the only two in the world that have the capability to function both as a tokomak and a stellarator, which Andruczyk explained as being, “two different ideas on how to contain plasma.” “The really unique thing about HIDRA is that we’re really going to be focusing on the materials aspect of fusion,” Andruczyk said. “And that’s the big thing that needs to be solved in fusion.” Ruzic will be one of several professors to conduct research on the device. The type of research the University will be conducting with the device will be different from what the device has been used for in the past. Instead, it will devote this machine to uncovering how plasma interacts with materials, which is something that has never been done before,
according to Ruzic. According to the team, this type of research will be unique for this facility and put the University on the map for plasma research. The new device may also attract students to the University who want to be involved with the device. Andruczyk said the device has already sparked interest outside the University from people and organizations, who wish to collaborate and test ideas with the device. Outside parties would be able to pay to use the device, and according to Andruczyk, this could be a source of revenue for the University in the future. “What it really does is it gives us good exposure to the world, that we have a machine like this,” he said. “I think it’s really going to open up a lot of opportunities for us.”

Student Election Commission misuses funds
', '(1,('
T
ransparency is crucial to this University, especially given many recent events. But what happens when the committee that was implemented to exert transparency within student government fails to comply with the rules? Until recently, the Campus Student Election Commission, CSEC, acted as a supervising body to ensure student government members were elected fairly and referendum questions, typically regarding student-initiated fees, were carried out. At least that is what they were supposed to do. Earlier this year, the commission resigned via email after they were charged with miscommunication problems with the Illinois Student Senate and did not comply with the Student Organization Resource Fee Board’s regulations. The SORF Board allocated $667 of student fee money to CSEC. However, in its 2014 budget, the CSEC said it spent $500 on an advertisement in The Daily Illini. The CSEC went on to say the rest of the money was used for internal purposes. But according to The Daily Illini’s records, the commission last bought an advertisement in 2012, not in 2014 as claimed. Matt Misichko, former chairman of the commission, confirmed that they indeed had not bought an ad in 2014. SORF also stated in a petition that the commission had insufficiently worked with the board in regard to communication between the two groups. In an interview with The Daily Illini, Kevin Seymour, senator for ISS, said communication between the two organizations has been poor. “It always seems like the CSEC has no idea what is going on, even hours before the election takes place,� Seymour said. With the upcoming November referendum looming, we need to have an independent body in place to oversee the process. Within the past month, an email was sent to graduate and professional students inviting them to apply for spots on a new commission. Since March, only law students have been involved with CSEC. While we agree that a new commission must be formed, we encourage other graduate and professional students to apply to diversify the commission. As law students have such busy schedules, it make sense that only four applications were received — showing why other students should be included. Any student should be encouraged to apply to ensure that those on the commission are there with passion, rather than considering the position another chore on their laundry list. Although CSEC did not work last year, we still believe there is a need for such a transparent body. That said, it needs to be a more diverse mix of students from different majors and backgrounds, so that the commission more accurately represents the student body. We need a body that will get the job done well.

AMANDA PLEASE
WOMEN ON THE RISE
Just when we thought Amanda Bynes was on a path to success after a slew of strange tweets and other public fiascos, she went down once again. On Sunday at 3 a.m. the star of some of our childhood favorites such as “All That,� “The Amanda Show,� “She’s the Man� and “Big Fat Liar�, was arrested for driving under the influence. Bynes was released on bail the same day. In the words of 13-year-old Amanda, “Court dismissed, bring in the dancing lobsters.�
As most of us are keenly aware, the number of female students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields is not nearly as high as it could, and should, be. There are a plethora of brilliant minds at the University, both male and female, and we want to see them represented equally across all fields. On Tuesday, The Daily Illini reported that the computer science department has seen a record increase in female students this year. In past years, the percent of women in this department has hovered around 10, but this year, nearly 25 percent of the incoming computer science freshmen are females. You go, girls!

PHELPS FLOPS
GOODBYE, CAPTAIN
He’s known for breaking records in the water and in our hearts with his stunning bod, but Thursday, we recognized Michael Phelps for something else: a DUI. Unfortunately, he’s joined the ranks with the aforementioned Amanda Bynes. It’s not this Olympian’s first fall from grace, but it’s always hard to see someone, who’s a hero to so many, struggle. But, as our favorite forgetful fish would say, just keep swimming!
For years, he’s personified cool, on the field and off. Even if you don’t know baseball, you know his name: Derek Jeter. This week marked the end of an era, as Jeter hit the field for the last time of his career. For many 20-something baseball fans, this was a final goodbye to their childhood hero. Of course, Jeter ended his career in style. During his last game at Yankee stadium, while playing in a tie game in the bottom of the ninth, “Captain Clutch� came away with the game winning hit. It was a bittersweet moment, but a moment that capped an amazing career. Our grandparents can say they saw Ruth play, our parents, Mantle, and now we can brag that we had Jeter.
#HeForShe needs action, not tweets CAMRON OWENS Opinions columnist
R
ecently, my Twitter feed has been filled with posts and hashtags about HeForShe, a campaign started by actress Emma Watson that encourages men to join the conversation on feminism. Celebrities such as Harry Styles, Russell Crowe and Tom Hiddleston have posted photos with the hashtag #HeForShe to promote the movement. It is important for men to get involved with HeForShe, but they should realize that being involved in the discussion on feminism involves more than posting a selfie with a certain hashtag. Using a hashtag does not make you an activist or part of a movement. Yes, hashtags are good for spreading ideas, but they do not always elicit long-lasting discussion. Many Twitter users tweet something that’s trending once to look topical and hip but soon forget about the issue completely. Men should use this movement as a starting point, not only to join the feminist conversation, but also to understand it. As a male, I have no idea what it’s like to be a woman (obviously), and I often forget just how many problems they face in today’s society. I think this move-
ment gives us an easy way to learn about feminism and other issues females face, so that we may move toward gender equality. More basically, the movement tells us why we should care and how it affects us as men. Feminism seems to be a movement that many men avoid discussing or hold misconceptions about. Some people think that feminism claims that women are better than men; however, this is not the case. Feminism is about viewing women and men equally. It is an issue of gender equality, rather than gender superiority. As a man, it can seem daunting to join the conversation about feminism because many of the issues facing women are not issues for men. Thankfully, HeForShe provides a platform that helps men understand. To do that, we need to go beyond a hashtag. By talking about the issues females are facing and how to fix them, we begin to see what feminism is and how gender equality requires participation from both genders. Men have to remember that feminism is not about praising a specific gender — it’s about equal treatment. Many men may not see feminism as a “masculine� issue, which is an idea that the HeForShe campaign is working toward abolishing. Supporting women will in no way lessen your “manhood� or make you more “feminine.� Those words only cre-
ate a greater divide between the behavior of men and women. When we associate masculinity with strength and femininity with weakness, it puts women down. Both men and women can be strong, and gender should not come with a preconceived notion of strength. In order to achieve gender equality, we men must be able to view both sexes as equals. Again, this requires more than just tweeting a hashtag — it requires us to understand what the hashtag means. I believe that in order to participate in the HeForShe campaign, we as men must try to view issues from a female perspective. In Illinois, women are paid 75 to 79 percent less than men, and while we should work to change laws like these, we also need to remember why women should be paid the same as men. It’s obvious. They’re usually doing the same amount and level of work, and have the same education level as the men in equivalent positions. The only reason women are paid less is because of their gender. If I were being paid less because of my genetic make up, I would feel devastated, if not cheated. I know hardworking men and women in my classes, and I think their work should elicit the same results if they receive the same job. Providing equal pay to women
is not the end of the issue of gender inequality. The HeForShe campaign tells us to re-evaluate how we view women, and part of that comes from realizing that women are just as capable as men. Some men forget that powerful women can impact us just as much as powerful men. Just look at Marissa Mayer, Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce. These women run businesses, create movements and improve lives. They are highly successful, talented and impactful. HeForShe explains that supporting and empowering women can benefit both sexes. If we see HeForShe as more than just something to tweet and start examining the ideas behind it, men and women can both participate in substantive conversations about women’s rights. In her address at the United Nations last week to announce her campaign, Emma Watson encouraged men who were hesitant to support feminism to ask themselves, “If not me, who? If not now, when?� Guys, what are we waiting for? There’s no reason not to join in the fight for gender equality. HeForShe is not just about tweeting to look informed or progressive, it’s about changing mindsets.

#HeForShe privileges Western regions SHIVAM SHARMA Opinions columnist
E
mma Watson laid the foundations of the HeForShe campaign in her recent United Nations address against gender inequality. HeForShe would provide a shift from the traditional feminist movement, which in recent times has come to be viewed as “too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men and unattractive,� according to Watson. The campaign encourages men to act in support of women in their fight for equality. The argument that men should actively advocate equal rights for women and become a part of the solution is both strong and vital. It has the characteristics to change the landscape on which women today fight for parity. While it might be possible to encourage men to fight for women’s rights in developed Western societies, where a significant portion of the educated male population is conscious of women’s rights movements, the same cannot be said for many parts of the rest of the world. In countless regions of the developing world, women still face flagrant abuse and discrimination. They continue to fight for the most basic of rights, bat-
tling against the deep-rooted traditions of male hegemony. In such regions, women stand alone in their fight for equality. Last October in Saudi Arabia, women living under the strictest of discrimination laws found the courage to fight for their right to drive. Since then, several women there have gotten behind the wheel, defying the authorities who refuse to issue them driver’s licenses. Although the movement did not prompt the government to change any laws, it was a big step for a country where women cannot vote or leave the house without a male companion. Saudi Arabian women, subjugated under an autocratic male society, cannot expect men to come to their aid. The only way for them to fight for their rights is with a tenacious independent movement by women for women. Last year in Delhi, India, the sexual assault of a college student by a group of men on a public bus sparked outrage among the community after the woman who was attacked lost her life in the ordeal. Thousands gathered on the streets to protest the widespread sexual abuse that women in the country face. Protestors pushed
for stricter legal sentences against perpetrators of sexual violence. The Indian legal system since then has come under scrutiny for its negligence in handling rape cases and its lax laws against sexual abuse. Gender equality cannot exist when men blatantly violate the bodies of women and disregard their sensibilities. In India, women must not only fight those who choose to abuse them, but also the system that has failed to protect them. There, the call for men to join the cause for women’s equality might generate some response, but it’s unlikely that most would care. Where there is such blatant disregard for women’s rights, women are resorting to traditional feminism that some view as excessive. According to The New York Times, as of 2011 an estimated 92 million women and girls across Africa had undergone female genital mutilation. Afterward, women are immune to sexual pleasure. In Senegal, the movement to end the practice has seen considerable success — success that was only possible after raising
In countless regions of the developing world, women still face flagrant abuse and discrimination.
awareness among women about the dangers of the practice and encouraging them to fight for their bodies. Women have been able to raise their voice against a male dominated society still lost in age-old gender stereotypes, where women are thought purely to exist in the service of their fathers and husbands. They’re still fighting for a say in whether or not to undergo circumcision. These instances are a testament to the oppressive male attitudes toward women that continue to persist in regions across the world. The examples I mentioned are only the tip of the iceberg, and I am unconvinced that HeForShe would have any considerable impact in regions where men continue violate women’s rights without consequence or conscience. It’s hard to believe that these men could even understand the notion of equal rights for women. Before they can be asked to fight for females, they must be taught to respect them, which is cause for a movement in itself. Gender equality is an issue too diverse to have a single solution. The only hope for women in some parts of the world to acquire even basic human rights is to stand isolated, anti-man, strong and aggressive.

It has had a huge impact on my life.� Cross said Illini 4000 is hoping to hold an event sometime during the middle of October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but was unable to give much detail. As Cross said, nothing has been set in stone. Although Illini 4000 is still planning its future event, there are other activities for students to get involved in to spread awareness. Colleges Against Cancer, an RSO on campus that is a subset of the American Cancer Society, will be doing its annual “Pink Week� and selling T-shirts and other merchandise to spread awareness for breast cancer. The RSO will be set up outside of the Illini Union from Oct. 6 to 10 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Amelia Sloan, representative for American Cancer Society, said being a member of Colleges Against Cancer can provide students with opportunities to fight breast cancer through the month of October as well as year-round. “Breast Cancer Awareness Month is one of, if not the most successful cancer awareness months in the county.

The University YMCA has long partaken in service projects that promote the salvaging of used materials and provisions, with its annual “Dump and Run� collection program as the most prominent example. And fittingly, 100 percent of the components used in Westerman’s exhibit are recycled and reused, an ethic that Rasmus said she supports. “So much of Nathan’s works is about reusing and reproducing materials and part of the mission of the Y is to take care of the environment so we were excit-
good job presenting it and advocating for breast cancer research,� she said. “Colleges Against Cancer spends their entire year advocating for the early detection and prevention of cancer, cancer education, cancer awareness and cancer research that will ultimately find a cure for the disease.� Sloan also said Colleges Against Cancer is working on a surprise with Illini Pride for the Illini football game against Purdue on Saturday. Colleges Against Cancer will be volunteering at the seventh annual “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer,� a noncompetitive 5K on Oct. 18 at 9 a.m. at Meadowbrook Park in Urbana. “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a celebration,� said Katie Champion, senior representative for American Cancer Society. “People are revved up and excited to join with other community advocates and support the people in our lives that have had a breast cancer diagnosis.� Champion said people bring things such as pink mohawks, pink hair, pink face paint, pink pompoms, pink clothing, pink boxing gloves and more during the walk to show support for breast cancer awareness. According to Champion, sponsors and teams participating in the “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer� walk have already raised $36,000, which is $8,000 more than was raised last year. “Every ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ event is an incredible and
inspiring opportunity to unite as a community to honor breast cancer survivors, raise awareness about what we can do to reduce our breast cancer risk, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society fight the disease with breast cancer research, information and services and access to mammograms for women who need them,� Champion said. Although these events will be taking place throughout the month of October, Cross said there are other ways for students to be involved in Breast Cancer Awareness Month on their own. “If you have an idea that you want to put out there, students can reach out to RSOs, the Women’s Resource Center, volunteer for the American Cancer Society or find other groups that are involved in the fight,� she said. As Breast Cancer Awareness Month carries on through October, Cross said it is important to know that there are always people dealing with this battle. “Everyone’s experience with cancer is so different, but it’s important to know no matter what phase you are going through and dealing with it, other people are going through it too,� Cross said. “Breast Cancer Awareness Month gives a space to mourn and experience what others are going through. Don’t be afraid to take time to mourn but also don’t forget that there’s hope.�
ed to start the fall Y season with his exhibition which is clearly about repressing and putting reused materials to good use,� Rasmus said. The YMCA is used to hosting art exhibits on its first floor, and it is a practice that Executive Director Mike Doyle believes has helped bridge the existing gap between students and the local Champaign-Urbana community. “We really work on developing students and student leadership skills, and part of the role that we really see our Y playing is serving this bridge between the community and students on campus, so we really try and connect students with what’s going on in the community and have had a long history of doing that,� Doyle said. “One of the
things that we’re real proud of is the fact that we’re able to have local artists show real work on campus and to give students, faculty and staff an opportunity to work with local artists and to see their works on campus. So it’s an important component on how we view our whole role.� Rasmus said she hopes the exhibit conveys a positive reaction from its audience. “I think it’s a really beautiful exhibit, and I think it has a really contemplative quality, and so I hope that people spend some time and find something unexpected and that the exhibit allows them to contemplate some things and share the artwork.�

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD ACROSS
NUCCIO DINUZZO MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Historic college in Chicago demolished LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The ruins of Barat College in Lake Forest were hushed one day recently, save for the distant whine of a lawn mower and the brittle tapping sound of men stacking bricks by hand. Built in 1904, the historic building known as Old Main is now reduced to piles of rubble and twisted metal. A cupola that had crowned the building is set off to the side of the construction site, its white paint peeling in the sun. Barat College, once a proud all-girls Catholic college run by the nuns of the Society of the Sacred Heart, was closed in 2005 after years of decline. Demolition began last fall. But that didn’t prevent members of the class of 1964 from gathering in Chicago recently for their 50th reunion. Now in their early 70s, the women who attended Barat recalled a sheltered but rigorous college experi-
ence in the turbulent 1960s and an education that has guided them through life’s intervening joys and heartaches. Through them, they say, Barat lives on. “I think it shows that you can go back home again. And that bricks and mortar do not Barat College make,� said Fran Romweber, a former class president and now a retired educator living in Ohio. “Because we know Barat is not tangibly there anymore,� Romweber added. “But we were very privileged to have something extraordinary in the education that we received there.� In the 1960s, Barat was one of seven all-girls colleges in the U.S. operated by the Society of the Sacred Heart, said Sister Carolyn Osiek, a society archivist. All of those colleges have either merged with coed universities or closed, Osiek said, a result of demographic changes and shifts in the educational landscape. For members of the class

Nathan Westerman’s art exhibit “Reclaim,� created using recycled and discarded materials, will be showcased at the University YMCA until Oct. 19.
or artist Nathan Westerman, nothing about his colorful, latex-covered plywood pieces is complicated. He doesn’t want it that way. None of his art is political either, nor does it have any underlying message woven deep into its artistic minutiae. For him, there’s a subtlety about how one color is plaited to another. There’s also a curiosity in imagining the previous life his materials might have lived before they were all reincarnated into the round, vibrant plywood installations. Westerman’s “Reclaim� exhibit has been on display for free at the University YMCA since Aug. 28, and it is scheduled to run through Oct. 19. As some artists may spend excessive amounts of money creating their work, Westerman is different. He’s a plywood-pinching Urban Outfitters display designer at the Green Street location, and he makes use of most of the scraps he produces while at work at Urban Outfitters. Westerman collects the discarded and leftover material from his work, and uses the materials for his next exhibit. Except when he’s fi nished with them, the scraps hardly resemble leftovers. “I think I’m using these materials at work, and I kind of give them second life as opposed to (them) going into a landfi ll,� he said.

RSOs host awareness events for October’s breast cancer month BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER
“If I die, it’s not a big deal.� This is what Debbie Richardson, a West Virginia woman fighting breast cancer, told Tory Cross, president of Illini 4000, during the registered student organization’s Bike America in 2012. Richardson was a part of Illini 4000’s Portraits Project, a collection of profi les on Americans affected by cancer that members of the RSO collect and write as they travel across the nation on bikes. Illini 4000 is a nonprofit organization, which uses an annual cross-country bike trip to raise awareness about cancer as well as help fund cancer research and patient support. “During the whole experience I never felt like gloom
and doom. At one point I did think, ‘Well, why me? What did I do?’ But it’s nothing that you’ve done. It’s just something that happens,� Richardson told Cross a senior in /$6. “But I do think your attitude, your outlook on things has a tremendous effect on your recovery. I think it’s so easy to feel bad for yourself, but you have to look beyond that. I really don’t think God is fi nished with me yet. I still think there are things he has in mind for me that he wants me to do. I don’t feel that my life is over.� Although students may see the beginning of October as a time for welcoming fall, October can be a time for celebrating life, fi nding hope and perseverance through Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the Ameri-
can Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women aside from skin cancers, and about 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. The chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman’s death is approximately 3 percent, and at this time there are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society’s 2014 estimates for U.S. breast cancer cases, approximately 232,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women and about 62,570 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed, which is a noninvasive, early form of breast cancer. About 40,000
women will die from breast cancer. Due to these statistics, Cross said it is important for students on campus to be interested and involved in Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “Breast cancer has one of the highest rates of cancers, and it affects so many people,� Cross said. “Fortunately, it’s a cancer that everyone seems to know about it, which is a good reason to get involved. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a great opportunity for anyone impacted by cancer in any way to help fight this disease.� Cross said her family has been personally affected by breast cancer, which influenced her decision to be involved in and be president

Soneson leads Illini in first home appearances BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down on Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.
In
his first game at the Big Pond, left wing Jack Soneson looked right at
home. He started the Illinois hockey team’s scoring barrage with a goal just a minute into the game. The goal prompted a steady chant of “It’s all your fault!� from the home crowd directed right at Michigan State goalie Brent Schwarz. The early goal didn’t just pump up the crowd — it also created momentum for the Illini in the first period. The team scored four unanswered goals, two of which came off assists from Soneson. “Any time you can score in the first five minutes of the game, it sets the tone in the way that we want it to be,� head coach Nick Fabbrini said of Soneson’s goal. “That line was really clicking for the whole first period on Friday, until we started to get into all the penalty trouble and the lines had to change. For Jack to get us off and running like that was a big boost.�
With a seemingly insurmountable lead heading into the second period, the Illini started to fall apart. A total of 51 penalty minutes derailed Illinois’ chance of a blowout victory in its home opener. Michigan State scored four unanswered goals of its own to make up for the ground it lost in the first period. The game had to be decided in a shootout, and with the opportunity to win the game, Soneson gave the Illini fans another chance to break out into the mean-spirited chant directed toward the opposing goalie. “I watched my teammates go, and the ice was pretty torn up at that point,� Soneson said. “As they were coming off, everyone on my team was telling me to just shoot at his weak side. He left his lower left side open, so I just put it in.� Soneson may have done the most damage with his shot in the Friday game, but he considers himself to be more of a pass-first type player. During the two-game sweep of the Spartans, Soneson had four assists, more than any other player on either squad. Fabbrini considers the team lucky to have a player with a pass-first mentality like Soneson because it creates space for other players on the team to score goals. “He’s got two guys on his line that can shoot the puck, between playing with Lozi (Chris Lozinak) and Yoshi (Tadayoshi Shibata),� Fab-
brini said. “Any time you can play with guys like that who have a little bit of a nose for the net, it’s nice to have a guy who looks to pass first playing with them. I think that’s something Jack does. He creates space for himself and makes room for his teammates.� Soneson joined the hockey team this season after transferring to Illinois from Missouri last year. When Fabbrini started coaching the Illini in 2012, he tried recruiting Soneson to come play for the team, but by that point the deadline to apply to Illinois had passed. Despite not playing on the ice the past two seasons, Soneson still continued to pursue his passion for hockey in the roller rink. Soneson was a member of the Missouri and Illinois club roller hockey teams, leading the latter in both points and assists last season. Since trying out and making the ice hockey team this season, he has had to readjust to the physicality of the sport. “Roller hockey is definitely different from playing on the ice,� Soneson said. “I had to make some pretty big adjustments. I haven’t gotten hit like that in a while, but guys on the team have helped me make the transition.� Soneson’s production seems to suggest he has acclimated himself back to the ice. He leads the Illini with eight total points, which includes a team-high six assists to go

On top of preparing for Minnesota, the Illinois volleyball team has to account for shortened recovery time this week. Wednesday marks the first midweek match of the season for the No. 16 Illini (10-3, 2-0 Big Ten), and while the No. 18 Gophers (11-2, 1-1) are a substantial opponent, the bigger test for Illinois might be how quickly the team is able to recuperate after its two weekend matches. “Generally Mondays are a little bit lighter practice days for us, but with these games we have to come in and do hard practices on Mondays, so we don’t have as much recovery time in between,� junior opposite side hitter Ali Stark said. On top of giving Illinois less time to recover after playing Maryland on Friday and Rutgers on Saturday to open Big Ten play, the Illini will also be faced with the task of trying to prepare a game plan on a severely shortened schedule. “We’ve got to get used to this,� Hambly said. “We have to change the way we’re training. Mondays we’ve kind of worked our
way into some things and used it as a really big teaching day. It’s got to be used as a scout day for us now.� While recovery and prep time have been cut because of the quick turnaround, there is a silver lining for Illinois: At least the game isn’t in Minnesota. Senior middle blocker Anna Dorn said that while playing a midweek match at home makes players want to focus more on volleyball and less on school, midweek matches are significantly more challenging when they are on the road. “Home games aren’t terrible, but when we’re traveling obviously we’re missing Wednesday classes and then Friday classes,� Stark said. For midweek matches on the road, the team usually leaves after practice on Tuesday and can be gone until early Thursday morning. This makes it hard on student-athletes who might be missing not only Wednesday classes, but also classes later in the week. Illinois will play six more midweek matches this season with four of the six coming on the road. The Illini will take on a

along with two goals to start the season. Personal stats, however, don’t mean too much to the starting left wing, who just wants to help his team continue its five-game winning streak. With the talent level of those around him, Soneson has no regrets about joining the squad. “We have a great program here,� Soneson said. “We have a pretty good history in the ACHA. We have won a couple national championships. Playing in front of that home crowd isn’t a bad bonus either. I think the guys around me are so talented, so I thought that if I wanted to have a great season, this is the place to do it.�

Illini adjust to shortened recovery time BY NICHOLAS FORTIN
The Illini coaching staff chose not to play Wes Lunt against Nebraska on Saturday. The team’s starting quarterback was available to play despite dealing with an aggravated knee injury from a hit in the game against Texas State. Lunt practiced for most of the week, but when the time came to make a decision, Illini coach Tim Beckman said it wasn’t a tough one to make. “He was not 100 percent,� Beckman said. “As a father and as a coach, it’s a decision that we decided to make that was best for Wes and best for this football team.� Lunt’s had his fair share of injuries over the past few years. The quarterback suffered a pair of leg injuries that forced him out most of his freshman year at Oklahoma State before he transferred to Illinois. The hit Lunt took against Texas State had offensive coordinator Bill Cubit worried on the sideline. “I’ll be honest with you, you’re sitting there like, ‘How’d the kid survive it?’ � Cubit said. “We were lucky. We really are.� But the Illini haven’t been as lucky with other players this season. The team has had to sit out a slew of players due to injuries this season — Illinois currently has three players listed out for the season and two more likely out for multiple
games — and Beckman said the players never take the news lightly. Beckman said defensive lineman Teko Powell becomes emotional when told he’s not cleared to play — which has happened three times this season, counting Illinois’ upcoming matchup with Purdue, which Powell has already been ruled out for. Powell has been out since suffering a foot injury against Washington and is unlikely to return soon for the Illini. “He’s almost in tears every time you tell him,� Beckman said. “He wants to play for this team and make this team the best it can be.� College football coaches have been on guard since Saturday’s incident with Michigan coach Brady Hoke, who has been under fire from the media following his decision to continue playing quarterback Shane Morris after he received a concussion from a hit to the head. Illinois has a system set up on the sidelines between coaches and trainers to protect players from risking further injury during a game. “There’s a pretty extensive protocol,� Cubit said. “There’s team doctors and there’s trainers. They’ll come up to you and say, ‘Such and such is out.’ And there’s just no discussion. ‘OK, he’s out. Who’s the next

Kevin Hambly competes with longtime friend BY STEPHEN BOURBON SENIOR WRITER
BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Ali Stark rises up to spike the ball during the game against Rutgers on Saturday. The Illini only have until Wednesday to recover for their first midweek match.
Illinois vs. Minnesota
When: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Huff Hall TV/Radio: Big Ten Network/ WDWS 1400 AM & WDAN 1490 AM Quick notes: Illinois will play Minnesota in the team’s first midweek match of the season. The Illini are coming off two wins at Huff Hall last weekend over Maryland and Rutgers to start the Big Ten schedule. Hidden stat: Illinois has been swept by Minnesota each of the last four times the teams have played. The last time the Illini beat the Gophers was on Sept. 23, 2011, in five sets.
When the Illinois volleyball team faces Minnesota on Wednesday, it will be a reunion of longtime friends and colleagues. Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly’s history with Minnesota coach Hugh McCutcheon dates back to when both were in college at BYU. The two played together for the Cougars from 1992-93 before McCutcheon graduated. Both went their separate ways but were reunited on the USA National team as assistant coaches from 2001-2004 — Hambly on the women’s side, McCutcheon on the men’s side. Hambly left for Illinois, while McCutcheon joined Minnesota three years ago. Hambly was even the best man at McCutcheon’s wedding. “He’s one of my best friends,� Hambly said. “What-
ever that means. At 40 years old, you don’t really have BFFs, but he’s one of the guys I talk to the most.� On top of their personal connection, the two have similarities in coaching styles. Both run the same blocking scheme, which they learned from their time at Team USA. It’s been effective, as Minnesota leads the Big Ten in blocks per set and is 11th nationally, while Illinois is 39th in the country. “I understand how he wants to play, he understands how we want to play,� Hambly said. Wednesday will be the fourth match up between the two since McCutcheon joined the Golden Gophers. McCutcheon, three years Hambly’s senior, holds a 3-0 record against the Illini.

Playoffs need more games for balance MICHAEL DWOJAK Assistant sports editor
T
he hunt for October is the most grueling playoff race in professional sports. Major league teams play 162 games during a season just for a chance to win their league’s pennant and compete for the Commissioner’s Trophy. There’s a reason why teams douse themselves and locker rooms with champagne after clinching a playoff berth. After six months, it’s time for October, and it’s time for the playoffs. This picture illustrates why the one-game Wild Card playoff is the worst series, if you can call it that, in all of sports. A team’s long journey to October could end in one game. It could be ended by an error or a home run. One game can ruin a season. In 2012, Commissioner Bud Selig announced that there would be an additional wild card team in each league. In the new format, both wild card teams in each league would play in a one-game series. That’s it. A team that could’ve clinched the wild card weeks before
the end of a season could lose to a team that made the playoffs on the last day of the season. The extra wild card team was added to create more interest during September. I agree with this. The second wild card spot adds an opportunity for two more teams and creates hope for countless fans. Although the second spot didn’t help my White Sox’ hope of making the playoffs (a seventh wild card spot wouldn’t create hope for them), it does create hope for teams that haven’t made the playoffs for a long time, just like the Royals. Now, adding a second wild card spot creates buzz. I’m fine with that. But why is there only a one-game series? Some might argue that it creates an atmosphere like none other. Sure, I guess. Game 163 in 2008 between the Twins and the White Sox, the “Blackout Game,” was one that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. But that wasn’t a playoff series. That was a game for the right to enter the playoffs. Neither team had earned anything yet; there was still one game to play. Others will point to the NFL and other soccer leagues where each playoff game is one and done. If all of the MLB
postseason was like that, then maybe that group would have an argument. But the rest of the playoffs have five- and sevengame series; it should be consistent for all teams involved. Teams compete for 162 games for a spot in the playoffs. A team might end its playoff drought, but is it really satisfying if that team loses the onegame wild card? The 2013 Pirates won one of the wild card spots and ended a 21-year playoff drought. Although the team won the game, what if the Pirates had lost the one-game playoff? How would that be fair to Pirates’ fans that waited so long for October to be meaningful again? The Royals finally made the playoffs this year after being the laughing stock of the AL Central for so many years — ending a 28-year playoff drought. Except the Royals may not have much to celebrate, with having to play a one-game series to decide their playoff fate. The answer to this problem is simple. Both wild card teams can compete in a three-game series to decide who moves on in the playoffs. The series will be short enough where it won’t drag the postseason much longer into November. It can be

The three-game series will also be profitable for teams and the MLB. More games mean more reve-

Baseball will play, volunteer in Caribbean BY PETER BAILEY-WELLS ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The Illinois baseball team is heading to the Caribbean over Thanksgiving break, and will tour the Dominican Republic and play Dominican Summer League teams. The Illini announced they have eight games tentatively scheduled from Nov. 23-28. The trip is being funded by the Illinois baseball booster club — the Fighting Illini Dugout Club. The team will participate in educational and cultural activities while on the trip and will also do community service in impoverished areas of the Dominican Republic. The NCAA allows baseball programs to go on foreign trips every four years, and the destination was partly a result of multiple trips that Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb has taken to the Dominican Republic.

Cardinals catcher A.J. Pierzynski, a favorite on the south side of Chicago, was back in town last week to watch as his friend and former teammate Paul Konerko — a White Sox fixture — completed his victory lap. Retirement was in the air. But it was not on Pierzynski’s mind. “We’ll see what happens,” said Pierzynski, 37, who completed his 17th season in the majors Sunday. “It’s kind of year to year for me, day to day. It’s like I said after all of that happened in Boston (with a release at midseason): If I didn’t play again, I’m OK with that. I wasn’t fretting it then, so I won’t now.” The two veterans, Pierzynski and infielder Mark Ellis, spent most of their careers as starters. But they’ll enter October with the Cardinals in the autumn of their careers and with uncertain futures. Both will be free agents at the end of the postseason. Neither is even guaranteed a spot on the Cardinals’ playoff roster. Pierzynski, added in July when Yadier Molina was lost to an injury, presents manager Mike Matheny with a left-handed complement to Molina. But established backup Tony Cruz has more experience with the Cardinals. Pierzynski would be the bigger threat off the bench, a move Matheny was reluctant to

St. Louis Cardinals’ A.J. Pierzynski reacts after tying the game with a single against the Milwaukee Brewers during the seventh inning on Aug. 3 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Mo. Pierzynski was in Chicago last week to watch the Sox’ Paul Konerko in his last game of the season. use Cruz for last fall. Ellis, 37, signed a one-year, $5.25-million deal with the Cardinals to be the right-handed-hitting component at second base, sharing time with rookie Kolten Wong. It didn’t work out that way. Ellis had his season Swisscheesed by injury, and he hit .180 in 178 at-bats. “This is not the role I wanted, but I think that does go hand in hand with production,” Ellis said. “Doing this on a last-place team would not have been fun. The guys here in this clubhouse have made it all good. But I wouldn’t do it (for a non-contender). Not at
this point in my career. ” Ellis, who has a dozen seasons in the majors, said he wouldn’t think about whether he’ll pursue a role with a contender for 2015 or consider retirement until after this season is over. Pierzynski joined Fox’s television coverage of the World Series a year ago, and a career in front of the camera wouldn’t be a shock for the gregarious catcher. He said he has not been approached about doing TV this fall because “obviously I would rather be playing in the World Series than talking about who is playing.” Pierzynski signed a one-year,
$8.25-million with Boston last winter. (The Cardinals paid him the prorated minimum over his time with the team.) He agreed that he might see what playing options there are for him as a free agent before deciding. Regardless of what he decides, he already knows what he has and it’s not something that’s guaranteed for someone who has only played catcher when he’s in the field. “I can walk away with 100-percent health, no issues at all,” Pierzynski said. “That’s not even a worry. I’ve got nothing but health.”

Cubs looking to add talent from free agents this coming offseason TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Cubs president Theo Epstein said Tuesday the Chicago Cubs are at an “interesting” stage that could involve adding “impact talent” outside the organization. “We’re going to be very involved,” Epstein said of the free-agent market, which includes left-hander
Jon Lester and right-handers Max Scherzer and James Shields. “We certainly hope to add talent from outside the organization. We will add talent, hopefully impact talent. But it has to make sense. We can’t sell out just for 2015. We can’t forget about the health of the organization and the strides we’ve made.

Ronaldo transfer would promotes team loyalty stop at nothing short of seeing one of this generation’s greatest players step out on the grounds of Old Trafford donning Man U red. That said, there is no reason why Ronaldo should consider leaving the ideal situation he fi nds himself in Madrid for uncharted territory in Manchester. He is still very much in his prime, has loads of talent around him and has a front office willing to shell out the cash to continually restock the roster. Plus, his career at a club in a city that adores him can reach legendary status as one of the all-time greats in Real Madrid and soccer history. Ronaldo can fi nish out the prime of his career, compiling accolade after accolade — without tarnishing his image as a sellout for returning to United. There is really nothing for him to gain from a return to his old team, anyway. He has a massive salary to begin with, and has already led United to Premier League and Champions League to glory. The broader takeaway from these rumors for every sports fan should be the shortage of team loyalty that currently exists in European soccer. Sure, there are some that have called one club home their entire careers (Steven Gerrard at Liverpool and Francesco Totti at Roma), but that those players are the exception not the rule. In a sport where money largely decides where players go, loyalty is hard to come by when clubs owned by Arab sheiks and

merican sports fans love their athletes to be loyal. This explains why most NBA fans admonished LeBron for initially leaving the Cavaliers for the Heat. This also explains why baseball fans and the sports world as a whole have hailed Derek Jeter and Paul Konerko for staying in the same city their entire careers. Athletes who stick out their careers with the same team in the same city, through thick and thin, are universally admired for their loyalty in our sporting culture. That brings us to Cristiano Ronaldo and the recent rumors regarding his possible return to Manchester United — the club where he first emerged as a star. This rumor began spreading in recent weeks when Ronaldo confirmed he would be open to a possible return to United somewhere down the line. These rumors may be closer to fact, given that former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson recently reached out to the Portuguese striker in an attempt to persuade him. The other day, in a classic sign of desperation, United supporters flew a banner begging Ronaldo to “come home� at Real Madrid’s recent away match. For obvious reasons, Red Devil nation would
Russian oligarchs complete record transfers on the daily. Too many players are more willing to chase larger contracts and bigger clubs than to stay in one place. Big money has turned some of the world’s top talent into glorified mercenaries. It would be a breath of fresh air for Cristiano Ronaldo to buck the trend, and fi nish out the prime of his career in Madrid. He will likely be all the more admired by the soccer community for doing so, and his legend will grow exponentially as well. CR7 would be wise to take a hint from Derek Jeter and Paul Konerko. If there is any quality that makes an athlete that much more respected and iconic, it is loyalty. Jeter and Konerko have become almost mythic figures in the New York and Chicago sporting landscapes. They opted for a commitment to a city, to an organization and to the fans when both easily could have chased larger contracts. Ronaldo may have already showed some disloyalty by leaving Manchester United a few years back, so why undermine his image even more at Real Madrid? All he’s got to do now is rebuff the advances of Manchester United, and reaffi rm his commitment to Madrid. Soccer will be stronger for it.

Rayfield happy with Illini soccer’s grit BY ELISEO ELIZARRARAZ STAFF WRITER
The Illinois soccer team can be known as a “gritty team.” It’s a description that’s been used time and time again by head coach Janet Rayfield, and a mantra that has been adopted by a stubborn Illinois team that has flirted with the NCAA rankings this season. Twelve games into the season, the Illini proved they’re not going away anytime soon. Outshot 19-6 against No. 8 Penn State on Sunday, Illinois still had every opportunity to win the game. Goalkeeper Claire Wheatley did everything in her power to keep her team in the game, making a season-high eight saves. After Penn State’s Frannie Crouse opened the scoring in the 63rd minute, Illinois didn’t hesitate in answering back. Striker Jannelle Flaws went on to score 47 seconds later off an Amy Feher assist. The game was tied, 1-1, and overtime looked cer-
tain. However, Penn State’s Salina Wilford struck in the 84th minute, a goal that trickled past the goal line despite Wheatley’s best efforts. But Illinois remained unfazed. Wheatley promptly chucked the ball out of the goal as the rest of the team jogged to set up for the restart. There was no sulking or pouting despite the fact that it was a hotly contested game that was lost in the final minutes. With what Illinois has done this season, nobody would write them off. Defender Hope D’Addario flung her ponytail back, looked at the six minutes left on the scoreboard and confidently strutted back to her position with a kind of never-say-die attitude. And why shouldn’t Illinois have such an attitude? This is an Illinois team that scored three goals in a span of 10 minutes and 25 seconds against Purdue earlier this season to break a 0-0 deadlock. It’s the same
Illinois team that has been roughed up by injuries to Kara Marbury and Aliina Weykamp and has still found a way to succeed with Alia Abu-Douleh and Megan Green as its fill-in players. It’s a team that has won overtime games because of its defenders, and one that recovered after losing 2-0 in its opening Big Ten loss to Iowa. The team beat last season’s Big Ten champion Nebraska with a 3-0 score. It’s a defense that bounced back from a disappointing 3-1 opening loss to the now No. 11 Notre Dame and has gone on to record six shutouts. It’s a midfield that has largely run both sides of the field and recorded 11 assists on the season. And it’s an offense propelled by the ever adversity-fighting Jannelle Flaws. On this occasion on Sunday afternoon, though, Illinois came up short. The final whistle blew and 2-1 would be the final score. With the loss, Illinois dropped from No. 19 in the nation out of
Miller ready for Diane Thomason Invitational BY LUCAS WRIGHT CONTRIBUTING WRITER
It took just one season for Stephanie Miller to establish herself as a star player for the Illini women’s golf team. Miller came in to her freshman year as a highly touted recruit, boasting two state championships, three conference championships, and all-state honors all four years during her high school career. Fast-forward to her sophomore year. Miller entered this season already having an individual win at last year’s Diane Thomason Invitational in Iowa City, a top-15 finish at the Big Ten Championship and a career low round of 69, which she matched three times throughout her freshman year. She also became the first Illinois freshman to qualify for the NCAA Regionals. Going into this year, Miller felt even more prepared with a Big Ten season under her belt. “Going back and seeing the golf courses we already played is helpful, because I already know what it looks like,” Miller said. “I’ve already played it. I can expect something, unlike last year when it was all fresh and new.”
Miller put in a lot of work throughout her offseason, focusing mainly on a hitch in her backswing. “At the end of last season, I got into a position at the top of my swing that caused me to hit it left a lot,” Miller said. “Getting out of that took a long time, actually 17 days to get away from that position (of my swing).” Once Miller corrected her swing, the positive results followed. She has shown early on in her season that she is settling back into her groove, placing 16th and 21st, respectively, in her first two matches. “In the first tournament, my swing felt pretty good, but in the second my swing got a little bit into the old position, so that wasn’t the best,” Miller said. “I think after this week, and probably the next week after that, all of it should be back where I want it to be.” As a team, the Illini have already notched a third place finish at the Colonel Wollenberg Ptarmigan Ram Classic hosted by Colorado State University, which consisted of non-conference opponents. Looking ahead to the
next match, the Diane Thomason Invitational, Miller should be a favorite, considering she is the tournament’s returning champion. She says, however, that she will not treat it differently than any other match. “That win was last year. Anything could happen. I could shoot 80 or I could shoot 68,” Miller said. “It just depends on the weather and who I am that day. I like that golf course, so I am looking forward to it.” Miller and the rest of the Illini will arrive in Iowa City on Oct. 4, where Miller will look to defend her title, and the team will look for its first win. The team won the tournament last season, one of five top-five finishes the team recorded last fall. Last season was a good one for Miller, and as a result, she has high expectations for this season. “I would like to make it to regionals again, and nationals would be great,” Miller said. “We just have to keep shooting good scores individually and team-wise.”
the rankings. It wasn’t a total loss though. For Rayfield, nothing was really lost. “Our effort was there today, it was just our execution that was off,” she said after Sunday’s game. “I love the grit this team trains and plays with and today we were gritty. We can perform better and more together but we left it all on the field and I am proud of this team for that.” Illinois looks forward now. After snapping a fourgame winning streak and eight-game streak of limiting its opponents to singledigit shots, there’s some weight off its shoulders now. “I told this team I’m optimistic based on what I saw today,” Rayfield said after the early season loss to Notre Dame. “This team is going to get better.” With its gritty displays so far this season as evidence, she’s got everyone in the locker room believing it too.
