UI alumnus to use MacArthur grant for Chicago community
Students collect cans for area food bank
Salgado accepts “genius grant” to continue to help immigrants BY CHARLOTTE COLLINS AND JASON CHUN ASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITORS
Juan Salgado, University alumnus, said he never expected he would be named a MacArthur Fellow. In fact, it was so unforeseen, he almost missed the announcement. “I was shocked,” Salgado said. “First of all, I didn’t recognize the number so I almost didn’t answer; they actually called twice. When I finally understood what it was, I was
shocked. I was grateful. I was speechless.” Salgado was named a 2015 MacArthur Fellow on Monday. He will receive a “no-strings-attached” $625,000 grant from the MacArthur Foundation, also known as a “genius grant,” to continue his research . Salgado graduated from the University in 1993 with master’s degree in urban planning. His work now focuses on immigrant communities centered in the southwest area of Chicago. According to the MacArthur Foundation’s website, the fellowship “celebrates and inspires the creative potential of individuals through no-stringsattached fellowships.”
The fellows are nominated to the program by external nominators who are encouraged to suggest “the most creative people they know” from a broad range of disciplines including dance, journalism, various sciences and economics. Fellows are then selected by an independent selection committee that consists of leaders in the sciences, arts and humanities, for-profit and nonprofit industries. Salgado developed the Instituto del Progreso Latino in 2001 in Chicago . The institute works with adults who are often underemployed and face barriers in the working

Solar power will account for two percent of the University’s energy source next year. Construction on the 20.8 acre solar farm — located south of Windsor Road and west of First Street — began July 20 and the clean-energy project is expected to be completed by the end of 2015. “They are actually slightly ahead of schedule right now,” said Morgan Johnston, project contact and director of sustainability at facilities and service, F&S. The project was approved in December 2014, F&S and the UI Student Sustainability Committee (SSC) entered a power purchase agreement with Phoenix Solar LLC to complete the project. The farm will cost roughly $15.5 million over 20 years, resulting in a $5.3 million up, front cost with $1.05 million coming from the SSC over three years and $4.25 coming from the campus utilities budget. Phoenix Solar LLC will oversee all of the design work as well as the installation of panels, electrical

Engineering reaches out to youth BY VIVIENNE HENNING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The College of Engineering hopes to use specialized outreach and the implementation of new programs to attract a more diverse student population, and they’re trying to build their future classes early on. “It is important what we do to engage more and more students, as early as possible, from underrepresented groups, said Andreas Cangellaris, dean of Engineering. “(It’s important to)
have them thinking about and getting excited about engineering,” Cangellaris said students need to start thinking about the competitiveness of engineering as early as possible and how difficult it may be to succeed. He said middle schools and high schools are aiming to better prepare students who may be interested in pursuing engineering. Kevin Pitts, professor in physics, said some students don’t have the proper
resources to help them prepare for the rigorous courses that engineering offers. “The biggest thing is the problem of unequal opportunity,” he said. “Students who are living in lower socioeconomic areas do not have the opportunities that students who are living in richer areas do. We’re trying to focus on what we can do to help students be better prepared and level the playing field.”

US panel to ask for Volkswagen results TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Leaders of a U.S. House panel expected to hold a hearing in the coming weeks on Volkswagen’s emissions ch e at i n g scandal sent a letter to the automaker Tuesday requesting information, i ncludi ng documents detailing VW’s development of software that apparently allowed it to get around air emissions testing. In the letter to Michael Horn, Volkswagen Group of America’s president and CEO, Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., and the panel’s top ranking Democrat, Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey, asked the automaker for records relating to emissions tests as well as documents “related to the development, approval, testing and use� of software in some 500,000 U.S.-sold diesel-powered vehicles. That software, which VW has acknowledged deploying in some 11 million vehicles worldwide, apparently allowed the vehicles to detect when they were undergoing emissions testing and turn full emissions controls on only during the test. The scandal led to VW CEO Martin Winterkorn’s resignation last week. “It seems Volkswagen had a dirty little secret, and it’s

It signals to the campus that there is more potential for students to get involved,” Liu said. “This isn’t something that just administrators do.”

Planned Parenthood leader says claims about fetal tissue untrue BY KATHLEEN MILLER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Planned Parenthood’s leader defended the group against accusations that it sells tissue from aborted fetuses for profit, telling U.S. lawmakers that claims based on undercover videos made by anti-abortion groups are “offensive and categorically untrue.” “Planned Parenthood policies not only comply with, but indeed go beyond the requirements of the law,” Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, told members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Tuesday
in Washington. Using fetal tissue in medical research is legal, she said. Conservative House Republicans have demanded a government shutdown if lawmakers don’t defund Planned Parenthood, the women’s reproductive health care provider whose services include abortion. The Republican-controlled Senate and House plan to pass a short-term spending bill this week that includes Planned Parenthood funds, though that sets up another showdown when the measure expires Dec. 11. Conser vatives have said they are outraged by undercover videos purporting to show Planned
Parenthood officials discussing reimbursement for providi ng tissue from aborted fetuses to researchers. The organization has said it doesn’t sell fetal tissue for profit, and instead receives the cost of collecting and delivering it. Richards said the videos were “deceptively edited” and that threats against doctors who provide abortion and their families have gotten worse since the videos surfaced this summer, Richards said.

Thistle, an American Kestrel Falcon, was found Tuesday after six days away from her home at Veterinary Medicine’s Small Animal Clinic. Thistle escaped Sept. 23 during a routine walk on the gloved hand of her handler after the jesses that kept her tethered to her handler came loose. Julia Whittington, wildlife medical clinic director, said the clinic has never had an event like this occur before because most birds cared for at the clinic are not fully fl ighted. Thistle arrived at the clinic in 2012 to be treated for an eye injury but was doomed because the loss of
one eye left her unable to hunt prey. According to Veterinary Medicine’s website, Thistle was spotted near the Colony West condominium building — about two miles from the small animal clinic — Tuesday morning. She was coaxed out of the air with food by Whittington and Nichole Rosenhagen. The site reported Thistle is now recovering and lost four ounces, about 12 percent of her body weight, while she was missing, and thanked the public for their help in locating the bird. In the time Thistle was missing, the clinic received almost 100 posts and phone calls about sightings.

The college offers two programs to give students the opportunity to be more involved in engineering. Pitts said the college of Engineering partnered with a non-profit organization in Chicago to engage underrepresented middle school students in STEM fields. He said about half of the students are African-American and the other half are Hispanic students. He said the college also works directly with teachers to help them better prepare the students and understand the latest breakthroughs in math and science education. The college is also developing the Red Shirt Program, which will offer resources for success to students who may be behind due to extenuating circumstances. Pitts said the program will initially involve 30 students who have been accepted to the University who are hard working, have potential and show an interest in being engineers or scientists. It will be a five year program targeted at students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and underrepresented groups who didn’t receive the proper preparation to succeed in engineering in high school. “We have a group of students, with lots of men-

toring, and a set of courses they’re going to take together so they can kind of build a community, so they can work together to get through this program,” he said. Scholarships such as the Engineering Visionary Scholarship Endowment Fund may provide students interested in the Red Shirt Program with the ability to afford college. Cangellaris stressed the importance of scholarships and said the college would not have increasing enrollment numbers without scholarships. Kenda ll R iech ma n, junior in Engineering, said she is taking an engineering class with students from Spain. She said the students talk about ideas and topics she never would have thought about if they hadn’t said it. “It’s just cool to see all the different perspectives and how everyone comes here to receive an education,” Riechman said. The college is putting forth new ideas and methods to attract students from a variety of backgrounds to come to the University. “We want to make sure that representation of our society is in everything we do, in everything that we design, in everything that we think about,” Cangellaris said. “It’s very important for every member of the society to have representation and that helps the

By 2020 the farm will be capable of producing 12.5 million kilowatthours per year, Johnston said. “We should be very proud of the solar farm, it’s one of the largest solar energy arrays on campus in the country. The two percent is just an image of how much further we have to go,” Johnston said. The solar farm contributes to the University’s efforts to become a more sustainable and carbonneutral campus over the next 25 years, as outlined in the Illinois Climate Action Plan, iCAP.

The University’s iCAP plan is supervised by Ben McCall, associate director for campus sustainability. “It is a very important step for our campus, it represents the fi rst major (step) of renewable energy generation,” McCall said. “So far we have had small arrangements on campus.

BALTIMORE — The six Baltimore police officers charged in Freddie Gray’s arrest and death will be tried separately over the course of the next several months, with proceedings against Officer William G. Porter starting Nov. 30. The new timeline, which pushes the trials back from a previously scheduled date of Oct. 13, was established during a hearing in Circuit Court on Tuesday afternoon, where five of the six officers appeared before Judge Barry Williams for the fi rst time. Porter
waived his right to attend the hearing. The delay was related to several issues, including new evidence being submitted in the case in recent weeks and the prosecution’s desire to try the officers in a specific order — in part because some made statements about the others’ actions during Gray’s arrest and transport in the back of a police van in April, where he sustained a severe spinal cord injury. The trials of the fi ve other officers will occur between January and March.
Civil War cannons raised from South Carolina river TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
FLORENCE, S.C. — Three Civil War cannons were raised from the muddy water of the Pee Dee River on Tuesday, remnants of Union General William Sherman’s march through the Carolinas in 1865. The cannons were thrown off of the CSS Pee Dee as Sherman’s troops approached after the burning of Columbia. The recovery was made near Florence off U.S. 301 at the site of a former Confederate Naval Yard. The effort was headed by archaeologists from
the University of South Carolina. A crowd of scientists, Civil War buffs and other onlookers cheered when the cannons were raised by a large yellow backhoe from the bank of the river. Scuba divers had attached lines to the more than 150-year-old armaments. The cannons will be transported to the Warren Lasch Conservation Center in North Charleston for conservation. That is the same lab where the Civil War-era CSS Hunley — the first submarine to sink a ship in combat — is being restored.

His account, which has been verifi ed by Twitter as authentic, isn’t hard to fi nd: It’s @Snowden. His attorney, Ben Wizner, the president of the American Civil Liberties Union, con-
fi rmed to the Los Angeles Times that Snowden himself controls the account. “Can you hear me now?” was his fi rst tweet. Snowden gained almost 300,000 followers in less than two hours after he tweeted his fi rst message Tuesday morning — a cheeky swipe at his former employer, the NSA, whose account only has 76,000 followers. (The NSA is also the only Twitter account that Snowden follows.)

EDITORIAL UI needs to extend diversity through TAs
B
eyond the academic opportunities of attending the University, the diverse student body provides experiences people might not receive in their hometowns. While some may live in communities with racially and culturally diverse populations, the University is a mecca of cultures. From experiencing i-Unite’s hijab challenge on the Main Quad on Monday to Holi to a Black Lives Matter protest, there are events to open one’s eyes here that can’t always be found at home. Breaking down the numbers: 14 percent of our undergraduate student population is Asian, five percent is African-American and eight percent is Hispanic. The variety of student ethnicities need diverse teaching populations to match it. Recently, a new study by graduate student Lester Lusher and professors from the University of California at Davis and the New York Economic School in Russia showed that undergraduate students are more likely to earn higher grades when their teaching assistants are of the same race or ethnicity. Lusher said as early as the second week of school, students are more likely to attend their TAs session if they are a similar race. The study results were completed at an anonymous California university. It’s important to have diversity in all of our faculty members because they provide viewpoints from their own personal backgrounds we may not otherwise receive. This fall, University enrollment of Latino students has increased 11.5 percent; African-American student enrollment increased 5.4 percent in the last year. But the numbers just increasing isn’t enough. We question what the results of the study would be if it was conducted at the University of Illinois. Like the study says, students relate better to TAs who are the same ethnicity. By increasing the amount of TAs — or the diversity within the current amount of TAs — we could potentially increase diversity in incoming freshman classes, which administration strives for. The University does not track the racial ethnicity of its TAs, but this is something we encourage it to record and promote just like it does with enrollment numbers. And the enrollment numbers we have still are not as diverse as The Daily Illini Editorial Board would like them to be. In order to provide a truly diverse campus with a variety of learning opportunities, we need to have TAs of all races involved in every college and area of study. Seeing TAs in academic roles can be inspiring to someone of a similar ethnicity who isn’t sure if they fit at the University. Providing diverse leadership in the classroom ultimately provides two benefits. It provides a method for students to learn and understand a culture other than their own while also creating a space where people of minority students feel comfortable to learn.
One open mind to inspire us all LOGAN WHEETER Opinions editor
T
he recent Marriage Equality Act and other current progressive social movements have been met with no shortage of resistance as of late. I’ve seen a significant increase in protests and public condemnation coming from celebrities to the common man. Just about every one of these protests in America has been in the name of God: specifically, the Christian God. As much as we do our best to maintain a healthy separation of church and state, the simple fact of life is that people largely base their morals on their faith, and those morals often influence the law of the land. Should the views of the church alter the views of the collective people, in turn, the law would be likely to change as well. Between the incidents in the media, such as Kim Davis refusing to give a marriage license to a gay couple and the never-ending supply of preaching protestors on the Quad, my view of the church began to grow more and more negative; I saw nothing but hate come out of it, and in turn, out of the majority of society. This past week, however, one of the most renowned people on
the planet made me reconsider all of that. Last Thursday, Pope Francis attended a joint meeting of Congress, and called for many changes largely favored by progressive parties. In his address, he heavily defended United States immigration, encouraged more lenient borders, endorsed environmentallyf r i e n d l y legislation, mercilessly condemned the arms trade, plead for the abolishment of the death penalty and even went as far as to refer to u nbr id le d capita lism as the “dung of the Devil.� Kyle Fouts, sophomore i n DGS and a deistic Christian — the belief in God based only on reason and nature — spoke very favorably of the Pope’s address, stressing how much the church needed this shift in attitude. “The pope’s thoughts were a refreshing change of pace for the Catholic Church, an organization steeped so strongly in the past that their modern policy leaves bitter tastes in the mouths of many,� Fouts said. “I expected a certain amount of
progressivism from good old Frank, but he far surpassed my expectations. I think that overall, his actions were a step forward for society as well as the church, and I couldn’t be happier.� So how can we merge these social ideas with religion so they can work together? Look at how church policies changed from the 18th to 20th centuries. Not even 60 years ago, interracial marriage was still illegal in half the country. Rules like these were developed centuries ago in the name of the church, a nd though it defi n itely happened far later than it shou ld h ave, the ethics of the church have progressed with society. We definitely should not stop progressing now. The pope’s address may be the start of another shift in religious morals, and with the recent social uprising seen in the past decade or two, a backing from the Church just might be what this country needs to send us into a new age of political and social progression. Alyssa Solis, freshman in FAA and a practicing Catholic,
Though it definitely happened far later than it should have, the ethics of the church have progressed with society.
largely favors religion’s evolution with society and hopes for further change in the future. “Religion should definitely progress with the times; it’s absolutely stupid to live by the same standards as we did thousands of years ago,� Solis said. “I’d like the Church to be more opening and accepting of all people regardless of religion, sexual orientation, gender, age and race.� Now, don’t mistake this event for the Church entirely turning a new leaf. Two days ago, Pope Francis openly defended Kim Davis’s right to refuse the marriage license in the way she did, due to a “conscientious objection.� Church policy hasn’t completely evolved with the times, and it still has a ways to go to erase millennia of hate practiced in the name of God. Let’s also remember that there are dozens of other denominations of Christianity that don’t follow the Pope’s lead; last Thursday’s address was by no means a massive overhaul of policy. But it’s a place to start. One massively influential man displayed, if nothing else, an open mind last week. That open mind can lead to the influence of millions, if not billions, of others across the world. This is how change is made, and this is how we evolve as a society.

H
ere are a few facts nobody remembers about the 2009 Grammy Awards: Coldplay performed “Viva la Vida,� Robert Plant and Alison Krauss took home the award for “Record of the Year� and Kanye West didn’t do anything all that controversial. However, one significant event concerning the 2009 Grammys that is still discussed today surrounds the domestic abuse scandal between Rihanna and her boyfriend at the time, Chris Brown. This week, Chris Brown made the news again as Australia announced iy denied him a visa due to his history of abusive behavior. Since October marks Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, I say we should take this Chris Brown visa incident and begin a serious discussion about domestic abuse. Michaelia Cash, the women’s minister of Australia, said that with regards to Brown’s visa application, “People need to understand if you are going to commit domestic violence and then you want to travel around
the world, there are going to be countries that say to you, ‘You cannot come in because you are not of the character we expect.’� These are good steps in the right direction with regards to taking domestic abuse seriously rather than overlooking it because of Brown’s fame. Chris Brown is not the only celebrity who has been wrapped up in an abuse scandal. Sean Penn, Hope Solo, Floyd Mayweather and Ray Rice are some of a long list of celebrities who have been accused in the past. But when these celebrities are suspected of domest ic violence, much of the attention goes to the star, their character, their actions and their fame — or infamy. Thus, many of these Hol ly wo o d - level a bu s e incidences have failed to begin an impactful discussion on how domestic violence affects millions of everyday families across the country. Rather,
the fact that these celebrities continue their fame after their crimes sends a dangerous message that it is OK to turn a blind eye to this kind of abuse — an ignorance that is already a large part of the problem. One in four women will experience domestic violence in their life and nearly three million men are victims of domestic violence in the United States. These victims become statistics as a result of cycles of continuously escalating physical a nd emotiona l abuse from a family member or spouse. Even given the many high profile cases of domestic abuse that make the news, the statistics surrounding this controversial issue have failed to significantly improve over the years. This should be of special concern to college students as women ages 18 to 34 are at greatest risk of becoming victims of domestic violence. Both Chris Brown and Rihanna are extremely public figures who have a strong influence on this exact

age group. After the photos of Rihanna’s beaten face surfaced in 2009, one would have thought that, after healing, Rihanna would become a role model to people around the world who have been victims of domestic abuse. Fast-forward a few years and Chris Brown regains his fame, Rihanna gets back into a relationship with Brown and records a song with him. Though Rihanna is not to blame for the initial incident, she had the opportunity to stand up for millions of victims across the country and didn’t take it. Thus after a few years, Brown put out a few good albums, the issue was swept under the rug, and with Brown’s regained fan base, it seemed — to a certain extent — he was forgiven. Overall, the chronicle of Chris Brown and Rihanna speaks to the fact that we have set a precedent of some lenience with a behavior that shouldn’t be tolerated. Australia joined U.K. and Canada in refusing entry to Brown based on his conviction — a step in the right direction to taking domestic abuse cases more seriously.

University discusses recent health ranking BY MADDIE GALASSI STAFF WRITER
Last month, the University was given a new ranking to crunch on. An article on Greatist.com named the University the seventh-healthiest school in the country. The University also became one of Time’s top-fifty healthiest schools. A young adult’s college years aren’t notoriously known for being the healthiest. And recently, Princeton Review named the University as the nation’s top party school. The University is known for a day-long event, Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day, where students engage in drinking-related activities. Campustown’s legal-bar entry is also 19 and above. Lor Clincy, sophomore in FAA, said these factors may contradict the healthiest-college ranking. “With our bars being 19, it only encourages underage drinking,� she said. But Clincy said she still believes the University has many resources for students who are conscientious about their health. “We have a lot of resources for students to work out,� Clincy said. “The counseling centers are also good for mental health.� Janet Kroencke, assistant director of student wellness, said the University tries to stay one step ahead of the game in the amount of resources it offers. “Our health center provides health education surrounding both physical activity and nutrition,� Kroencke said. “I’m assuming that the fact that we have so many services for students helped make us one of the healthiest schools.� Kroencke explained that taking advantage of the University’s personal trainers, as well as group fitness classes, gives students an edge in
terms of health. “Every year, the number of students buying group fitness class passes grows,� Kroencke said. “What we do is try to stay ahead of the game in the classes we offer and make sure that we have the latest and greatest in class formats.� Some of the most popular classes include body attack, body jam, body pump and Zumba. Kroencke said sometimes, these classes are so full that they have to turn students away. The University also hires employees that are informed about fitness. They switch the classes made available to students annually and try to have what students expect to take and more.
“Every year, the number of students buying group fitness passes grows.� JANET KROENCKE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF STUDENT WELLNESS
Emily Greibe, former three-sport athlete and sophomore in FAA, said ARC classes helped her stay fit and transition from high school to college. “In high school, I worked out every day with different sports teams, sometimes twice a day, so I was very active,� Greibe said. “I was really concerned about how I would stay active in college, but freshman year, I was in a dorm across from the ARC and went every single day.� Greibe has taken Zumba, yoga and body combat at the ARC. In terms of equipment, the University keeps a five-to-10year plan in mind for what is coming in and out of the gyms and rotates old equipment with new equipment. The University was also
one of the first schools to offer an instructional kitchen to its students. Staffed with Dietetics majors, they help educate students on nutrition and informed about healthy food choices. “We do nutrition consultations and look at students’ food logs and explain what they’re missing and how they can make their diet more substantial,� Kroencke said. The University’s dining halls also help students make healthy choices. The dining hall chefs learn what is healthy and what isn’t, and then they create their own menus. According to Erica Nehrling Meador, assistant director and dietitian of Dining Services, one chef went vegan over the summer just to come up with more vegan recipes. “We work to have a variety of foods, so we can offer students both the comfort foods they want, but also have healthy dishes available regularly as well,� Meador said. “We just try to make sure that there’s enough variety of healthy dishes that students will hopefully choose them over the comfort food.� Approximately 25 percent of the food that the dining halls offers consists of locally grown ingredients, according to Meador. Around 90 percent of the food is also made from scratch. Overall, Meador said this ranking reflects the University’s hard work to provide healthy options. “I think so much went into UIUC getting this ranking,� Meador said. “We push our chefs to really think about health, and that’s something that’s in their minds all the time, and they also know that everything is okay in moderation.�

Helen Enda, sophomore in Business, cuts a freshly made pizza at Azzip Pizza on Tuesday.
There’s a new option for fresh, fast food on campus. Azzip Pizza opened on Sept. 9 at 505 E. Green St. in Champaign and boasts a 2 minute and 20 second cooking time for its pizzas. “We’re thrilled to have the chance to bring a new, exciting concept to Champaign and the University of Illinois,� said Brad Niemeier, who founded the business after winning the Burton D. Morgan Business Plan Competition at Purdue University in 2012. After opening two restaurants in Evansville, Indiana, Niemeier wanted to branch out. “Looking around at different universities that are close to us, it really just made the most sense,� he said. “It’s a great student population; it’s all very compact right on Green Street. I couldn’t ask for a better location.� He said keeping the franchise within the Big Ten was partially a coincidence, but the high foot traffic and large student population was a draw. The resemblance between Purdue’s colors and Azzip’s black and yellow color scheme is also a coincidence, Neimeier said. “I didn’t want it to be the tradi-
tional Italian flag colors,� he said. “I wanted it to be something different because it’s not your traditional pizza place.� Neimeier’s favorite restaurant at Purdue was Chipotle, and his favorite food is pizza, so he decided to merge the two. His business plan focuses on food transparency and high-quality ingredients. “We like to have our oven showcased right in the middle. We like to have people be part of our process,� said Champaign general manager Eric Dvorachek. “We don’t like to hide anything from people.� Azzip Pizza’s ingredients are sourced from local businesses, like Smoky’s House BBQ, which supplies their pulled pork. Since the business is based in Evansville, many of its ingredients come from Indiana. The chicken is from Gerber’s Amish Farm, which means it’s antibiotic-free. “We’re very proud of the way we make and prepare each of our ingredients and our pizzas,� Dvorachek said. Following the Chipotle model, customers can choose from 15 toppings and six house-made sauces, so the pizza is easily

‘Infinite Jest’ readers can go on ‘Infinite Quest’ Commemorative lecture presented at Urbana library BY MARA SHAPIRO STAFF WRITER
Students at the University may not realize that Jason Segel’s latest movie role — David Foster Wallace — has ties with the Champaign-Urbana area. Wallace’s father, Professor James D. Wallace, is a professor emeritus of philosophy at the University, and his mother, Sally Foster Wallace, was a professor of English at Parkland College. Wallace attended Yankee Ridge School and Urbana High School, where he was a regionally ranked junior tennis player. Wallace is known for his essays, non-fiction works and novels. His most notorious book, “Infinite Jest�, published in 1996, is over 1,000 pages and features 388 end notes. The acclaimed writer struggled with addiction and depression and ultimately committed suicide in 2008. Recently, the biopic “The End of the Tour� was released in
theaters in July, starring Segel as Wallace. Two of Wallace’s former colleagues at Illinois State University, Charles Harris, professor emeritus of English, and Robert McLaughlin, current professor of English, will be presenting “Infinite Quest: Unraveling the Life and Work David Foster Wallace� at 7 p.m, on Wednesday at the Urbana Free Library. The lecture will talk about Wallace’s life and career as well as the major themes of his work, according to McLaughlin. “If they’ve had their interest piqued by the film or things they’ve read and want to know more about David Foster Wallace, this is the event for them,� McLaughlin wrote via email. McLaughlin and Harris became close with Wallace during his time as a professor at ISU. Harris was the chair of the English department for 15 years and hired Wallace in 1993. Carol Inskeep, adult services librarian at the Urbana Free Library, came up with the idea of “Infinite Quest.� “Part of what prompted it is the release of the movie, ‘The End of the Tour’,� Inskeep said. “There
has been a long-standing interest in David Foster Wallace books at our library. I was interested that these books that have been out for so long are still of interest with people.� Inskeep went on to explain that she is hoping that Harris and McLaughlin can help Wallace’s fans understand his more complex works. “Some people just love it and take to it easily. I just find it daunting,� she said. “These two guys can lend a hand to those of us who want to give it a try.� Harris said that “Infinite Jest� has become iconic because people can relate to the issues Wallace discusses in it. “It is one of the more consequential novels written over the past half-century or so. Because of its complexities, it’s found a place in the academy. It will continue to be assigned and taught,� Harris wrote via email. “Its sensitive treatment of addiction strikes a chord in readers of all ages. Many high school students struggling with addiction problems are drawn to it, despite its difficulty.� Both Harris and McLaughlin have seen “The End of the Tour.�

“I think it succeeded on every level,� Harris wrote. “Segel doesn’t attempt an impression of David, but gets him from inside, in a sensitive, accurate characterization. The Wallace estate has come out against the film, but I believe that David, had he been able to see it, would have appreciated it, just as the members of his family who have seen it reportedly did.� Inskeep herself is a fan of the author for many reasons. “He is widely recognized as one
of the best authors of this generation. His work is profoundly funny. It’s an interesting mix of pop culture and deep literary significance. And he’s from Urbana,� she said. Harris said that, even though Wallace has been deceased for seven years, his work and legacy will still live on in various ways. “References not just to Wallace, but in many cases to ‘Infi-

Freshman earns her place as UI’s starting setter BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down each week 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. For Illinois volleyball head coach Kevin Hambly, watching setter Jordyn Poulter play is like seeing a painting by Monet — indescribably better than everyone else. Her talent caught Hambly’s eye at a volleyball camp when the now-freshman was just 12 years old. He knew right then that she was destined to play the sport in college. “When I look at Monet and I look at another painting, I know Monet’s are bet-
ter.� Hambly said. “I don’t know why they are better ... When you look at 12-yearolds out there playing and none of them (are) really good at volleyball, and you watch her and go, ‘that’s a Monet right there.’ There is something different about her that’s different than everybody else.� Poulter was important in the Illini’s two weekend sweeps of Big Ten rivals. Poulter went off for 34 assists and four digs against Maryland and followed it up with a 40 assist and seven dig effort in the takedown of Rutgers. For her stellar play, the Aurora, Colorado, native was awarded Big Ten Setter and Freshman of the Week honors. It was Poulter’s second time being named the conference’s top freshman of the week — the fi rst came after her very fi rst week-

But Poulter said there has been a definite change in the fi ve weeks since her Illinois volleyball debut. “I think I’m more relaxed on the court,� Poulter said. “It feels a little bit more natural than it did at fi rst (at Stuff Huff).

The No. 7 Illinois volleyball team’s wins against Maryland (10-6) and Rutgers (3-11) over the weekend were near-mirror images of last season’s opening two Big Ten matches. Like last year, the Illini (11-2) began conference play with 3-0 sweeps of the Terps and the Scarlet Knights, led by stellar defensive play. In 2014, Illinois held Maryland and Rutgers to .053 and .226 hitting percentages, respectively. Head coach Kevin Hambly’s team conjured up similar results in College Park, Maryland, on Friday and New Brunswick, New Jersey, on Saturday. Led by liberos Brandi Donnelly, Danielle Davis and Julia Conard, the Illini shut down their opponents in six combined sets. The Illini will look to carry their lockdown defense to Madison, Wisconsin, on Wednesday night to face a highly efficient No. 19 Badgers squad. Wisconsin is 8-4 and boasts a talented attack steered by senior setter and Aurora, Illinois, native Lauren Carlini, who ranks sixth in the country in assists at 11.58 per set. At Tuesday’s volleyball media availability, Hambly called Carlini the best setter in the Big Ten. Donnelly is ready for the challenge Carlini poses. “Wisconsin is really talented and the next two weeks are really gonna test us, but we’ll have a game plan like we do for any other team,� she said. “This weekend brought us confidence.� Junior middle blocker Haleigh Nelson (2.51 kills per set, .386 hitting percentage) and sophomore outside hitters Kelli Bates (3.28 kills per set) and Lauryn Gillis (3.12 kills per set) round out the Badgers’ offense. The Badgers coasted through Big Ten play in 2014 — they lost just once, falling to eventual national champion Penn State Nittany Lions. This season, Wisconsin lost its first two conference matches — 3-0 and 3-2 losses to No. 1 Penn

Defensive line starts making a difference BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER
Illinois football co defensive coordinator and defensive line coach Mike Phair expressed his feelings about the defensive line’s performance in the fi rst three games of the season in a unique way. The coach posted signs all over the defensive line’s meeting room that had the number “one� written on them — the number of sacks the defense had after three games. Phair was not pleased with the group’s performance because he expected the line, fi lled with veteran players, to make a great difference this season.
“One sack, are you kidding me?� Phair was quoted saying by defensive end Jihad Ward. Players on the line knew they weren’t performing to the expectations set by the coaching staff and themselves. “That’s just out of line,� Ward said of the line’s performance in the fi rst three games. “We’re supposed to be rush men. It really meant something to us when we saw that. We had to prove the coach wrong.� Ward and the rest of the players on the line responded to their coach’s disgust against Middle Tennessee State. Illinois recorded three sacks against the
Blue Raiders and created consistent pressure on the quarterback for the fi rst time this season. Dawuane Smoot had two individual sacks while Ward and Chunky Clements combined for the third. The line looks better than in years past, which the players credited to the team’s summer lifting program. Smoot, Ward, Clements and Rob Bain are stronger than in seasons past and have already made their presence felt. The line’s biggest play of the season also came against Middle Tennessee State: Smoot forced a fumble that was scooped by Ward who returned it for 17 yards
before fumbling. The play ultimately ended with Clements recovering the ball. Part of the group’s slow start can be blamed on its lack of depth early in the season. The major injury was a knee injury to Ward. Although he’s yet to miss a game and said the injury hasn’t affected his performance, he didn’t make any standout plays in the fi rst three games of the season. Ward did, however, miss at least half of training camp. Other players like Teko Powell, Joe Fotu and Jamal Milan have battled injuries this season, forcing Phair and his staff to lim-

Bobart’s running opens new doors BY MICHAEL GASICK CONTRIBUTING WRITER
DIANE WEISS TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh gives instructions to his team during first-half action against Oregon State at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Sept. 12.
Michigan football: Big Ten’s spoiler DAN ESCALONA College football columnist
I
gnore any idea that Michigan will simply be a steady work in progress this season. After a surprising shutout of then-No. 22 BYU, Jim Harbaugh’s Wolverines have announced themselves as perhaps the third-best team in the Big Ten as well as a potential spoiler to Ohio State and Michigan State. Michigan’s victory over the Cougars on Saturday was the Wolverines’ first win over a ranked opponent in two seasons and clearly shows the positive impact Harbaugh’s philosophy has had upon the team. In his time at Stanford and with the San Francisco 49ers, Harbaugh developed a football philosophy that stresses a strong ground game, a stout defense and an efficient quarterback. All three of these aspects were on display for Michigan on Saturday, as well as during the team’s three-game winning streak. Michigan rushed for 254 yards Saturday, including a 125-yard performance by starting running back De’Veon Smith. It was the third-consecutive game in which the Wolverines ran for over 200 yards. Quarterback Jake Rudock played his best game so far of the young season throwing for 194 yards and one touchdown. More importantly, it was Rudock’s first game of the season without an interception — a welcome change from a threeinterception performance against Utah in the season opener. Michigan saw key contributions in the receiving
game from wide receiver Amara Darboh, who finished with 57 yards and a touchdown catch, as well as the top spot in SportsCenter’s Top 10. Defensively, the Wolverines were masterful Saturday, limiting the Cougars to only 105 yards of total offense. They didn’t force any turnovers, but the defense made BYU quarterback Tanner Magnum uncomfortable all day. Michigan is sowing the seeds of a prototypical Harbaugh-coached team; a team with a balanced offensive attack and a defense strong enough to hang around in any game.
Harbaugh’s Wolverines have announced themselves as perhaps the third-best team in the Big Ten A win over a BYU squad, who had recently given playoff contender UCLA all it could handle, as well as a seven-point loss in the opener against Utah, which recently pummeled Oregon on the road by 42 points, means that Michigan could be the spoiler the Big Ten needs. The Wolverines could make things interesting for the Buckeyes and the Spartans. With the Big Ten’s two best teams not playing their best football, it’s looking more promising that Michigan poses a threat to their prospects for an undefeated season. The Spartans recently were sluggish offensively against Central Michigan as well as only posting a three-point victory over a now overrated Oregon
team. Michigan State’s biggest concern – which makes their in-state rival much more of a threat – is its rash of injuries to three important players: offensive lineman Jack Conklin, tight end Josiah Price and defensive back RJ Williamson. Ohio State, on the other hand, while its defense looks dominant, has yet to find consistent offensive production. The Buckeyes have certainly shown flashes in the season’s first four games, though their recent performance against Northern Illinois represents a blueprint on how to best neutralize their scoring ability. Before the freshlyranked Wolverines can solidify their “spoiler” status, the team have a big test coming on Oct. 10 against the other big surprise in the conference: No. 16 Northwestern. This will be the best way to prove if Michigan can legitimately challenge the Spartans and the Buckeyes in the Big Ten East. Now with Michigan surprising many around the country, their trip to East Lansing on Oct. 17 is looming large for playoff implications. As the first four weeks have proven, Michigan State and Ohio State are not invincible powers in the conference: they won’t inevitably steamroll through the rest of the Big Ten. Thanks to Harbaugh, attention is finally back on Michigan for on-thefield exploits — and these recent exploits should force those in Columbus and East Lansing to consider the Wolverines an actual threat.

Whether it be a new food item, school club or sport, college students have been accustomed to hearing the phrase, “It’s always good to try new things,” from parents, teachers and friends. For Illinois women’s cross-country junior Valerie Bobart, running opened up a wealth of opportunities and success well before she made it to college. Bobart first participated in cross-country in eighth grade. Bobart’s sister Cassie, who’s a year older than Valerie, ran crosscountry in high school and told her younger sister to give running a try. Valerie fell in love with the sport and started building up stamina to someday become a successful crosscountry runner. As a freshman at Glenbrook North High School, Valerie joined the crosscountry team and racked up plenty of accomplishments. It did not take long for Bobart to convince her teammates and coaches that she was serious about the sport; she, along with her best friend, qualified for the State meet her freshman year. “I remember we were both so shocked and excited after Sectionals,” Valerie said. “It was an amazing experience that I also got to share with my teammates.” She was just getting started. Valerie went on to qualify for State in her sophomore, junior and senior year — the first time in Glenbrook North history that has ever been accomplished. The high school awarded her

Poulter said she looked to Viliunas for advice when practices first started, and Viliunas was more than happy to assist the newcomer learning the drills and Hambly’s expectations for the team. “She can definitely give her own experience to me and tell me what she went through,” Poulter said. “She is always cheering me on from the sidelines. Every time I do something I can hear her screaming from the sidelines. It’s awesome to know that she has my back, and I have hers.” It wasn’t an easy decision for Hambly and his

Valerie Bobart (252) paces herself at the Illini Challenge 2015 at the Arboretum on Sept. 4. “Athlete of the Year” for her consistent, successful career with the Spartans. “I think it was a combination of two things: hard work and natural talent,” Glenbrook North women’s cross-country head coach Bob LeBlanc said. “She was determined to get better every year.” LeBlanc noted that Valerie was the type of runner who was determined to run at least 500 miles in the offseason. According to Valerie, selecting Illinois to continue her cross-country career was the right choice. She also pointed to how strong of a reputation Illinois has in her current major: chemical engineering, which made the decision even easier. Now entering her third year at the school, Valerie has enjoyed the close-knit group of Illini runners. “I love the girls on the team,” she said. “I enjoy being on a competitive team that has continued to work hard every day.” Valerie’s best college
races have included running a 22 minutes 28 seconds at last year’s Bradley Invite 6K, as well as breaking 19 minutes for a 5K at last year’s Illini Open — she ran it in 18:48. “There is a reason why (Valerie) has experienced success in college and that’s because (she) has a strong work ethic.” head coach Scott Jones said. Having previous triumphs with the sport both in high school and in college, Valerie is looking to continue these successes for the Illini in races this season. “I want to stay with the strong pack of runners we have,” Valerie said. “We would like to stay in the top half of the Big Ten.” Valerie is used to trying new things, and a team finish in the top half of the Big Ten might be next — the Illini haven’t finished in the top tier of the conference since 2009.
staff to start Poulter over the veteran Viliunas. But as practice started and Poulter’s talents became more apparent, it was clear to him that she was the right choice for the role. Still, he was unsure how that decision would affect the relationship between the Poulter and Vilinunas. Fortunately for Hambly and the team, any qualms were quickly calmed after seeing the two laughing with each other on the sidelines after the first game against Louisville. He said the pair’s dynamic has made the team better as a result because Poulter never has to worry about what Viliunas is thinking. Poulter’s support has helped her lead Illinois to a No. 7 ranking, with losses only to No. 8 Stanford and No. 6 Arizona State. She is averaging 11.1 assists per
set this season, the highest by any freshman in the country. The Illini are going to need Poulter at her best as they pursue their ultimate goal of being the last team standing in December. Despite Big Ten play starting, Hambly has no plans of changing up his coaching style. He thinks Poulter still has a long way to go. “Winning will take care of itself when we are shooting for being a great team,” Hambly said. “We’re holding her to the same expectations against Rutgers as we are against Wisconsin and against Minnesota this week. We just want Jordyn to be the best she can be, so we’re going to keep pushing for that.”
defense. The constant pressure against Middle Tennessee State was a welcome sight for the entire team, especially the secondary. “(Constant pressure on the quarterback) is huge,” safety Clayton Fejedelem said. “It gets the quarterback off his gameplan, it changes the timing. It changes the timing between his receivers. It allows us to execute and make plays on the ball.” The signs are still up in the defensive line’s meeting room as of Monday,
according to Ward. Although the group is proud of its accomplishments against the Blue Raiders, the players know there is still plenty to attain in order to reach the unit’s and the coaches’ level of expectation. “We still have a lot of work to do,” Ward said. “We got off the ball and we had some good sacks, but we have a lot of work to do.”

Fantasy Doctor: bye week bonanza JOEY FIGUEROA Fantasy doctor
As
hard as it is to believe, we’re already three weeks into the NFL season. I guess time goes by pretty fast when you’re having fun, which explains my long, painful weekend during which my fantasy teams went a combined 1-2. There were plenty of big performances in Week 3, and I was the lucky victim of many of them. A.J. Green, Keenan Allen, Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson combined for eight touchdowns and about a million yards to destroy one of my teams, while I also had the pleasure of matching up against Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers in each of my other leagues. But instead of dwelling in the past, let’s look ahead to Week 4. Bye weeks are now a factor, which means at least one person in any given
league will start a player who will be rocking pajamas and slippers instead of a uniform and cleats this Sunday. Let’s try to avoid that. The Patriots and Titans are the first squads with a week off and each has a plethora of top contributors that will leave holes in a bunch of rosters. Replacements are out there, though, so don’t freak out yet. Quarterback: Tom Brady and Marcus Mariota have both been lights out so far, so finding the right QB on waivers to come close to that usual 20-plus points will be crucial. The top target for Brady-Mariota owners should undoubtedly be Tyrod Taylor. He’s still available in about 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues and has a date with the leagueworst Giants secondary this Sunday. The Buffalo play-caller is fresh off a 21-for-29, three touchdown massacre of a respectable Miami defense. Even if you don’t have a QB on bye this week you should pick this dude up.
Other options are Derek Carr against the consistently terrible Bears, Joe Flacco as he tries for his thirdstraight 350-yard game and Ryan Fitzpatrick matching up with the vulnerable Dolphins. Running back: While Bishop Sankey is off to another ineffective start in Tennessee, Dion Lewis and LeGarrette Blount have been touchdown machines thus far for the high-scoring Pats offense. It’s tough to replace backs who are guaranteed a few goal-line carries per game, but let’s try. Again we go to Buffalo for another underrated option in the form of rookie Karlos Williams. He has scored in all three games thus far and will see even more carries with LeSean McCoy limited. He just lit up the Dolphins for 110 yards on 12 carries and is still available in about 70 percent of leagues. For some reason, Atlanta’s workhorse Devonta Freeman is also available in about 40 percent of leagues, so nab him if you can, too.
Wide receiver: Julian Edelman, the NFL leader in targets, will surely leave a huge hole in PPR lineups, and Tennessee’s go-to guy Kendall Wright will also be missed. Rookie standout Rishard Matthews has seen his targets increase each week in Miami and is still widely available. After Matthews, the well of wideout streaming options is desert dry. Top options for the most desperate owners are Allen Hurns, Michael Crabtree, Cecil Shorts, more so in PPR, and Doug Baldwin. Tight End: The 6-foot-6, 265-pound, pigskin-annihilating gorilla in the room is obviously Rob Gronkowski. Gronk owners will see a huge drop off in TE production, but minimizing the loss is key. The top alternatives come in the forms of Eric Ebron and Charles Clay, both of which are widely available. The former has at least four catches in each game this season and was held scoreless for the first time on Sunday, while the latter has scored in two consecutive contests and will face the weak

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady warms up during a warmups prior to preseason action against the Carolina Panthers on Aug. 28. Giants defense on Sunday. Hopefully Gronk can make it through his day off without spiking something or someone. Defense of the week: The Colts allowed 33 points to the Titans this past week but came through with
three sacks, two picks and a touchdown in the process. They face a much softer Jacksonville offense this Sunday.
