Fund awards Salaita $5,000 for suspension pay Academic Freedom Fund applied for professor DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Steven Salaita has been awarded a $5,000 grant by the American Association of University Professors Foundation’s Academic Freedom Fund. The grant was awarded to Salaita last week on the grounds that he was
involved in an academic freedom controversy. “This is $5,000 for him to use in a situation where we believe that he should be suspended with pay while the issue is worked out by the Committee for Academic Freedom and Tenure,” said Hank Reichman, AAUP fi rst vice president and chair for the Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure. The grant comes after Salaita’s appointment to the American Indian Studies program was rejected after
he sent out tweets regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These grants are awarded to individuals under two separate guidelines. The fi rst situation involves an individual that is a victim of violations of academic freedoms that requires legal fees, Reichman said. The other is to people involved in academic controversy, such as Salaita, to provide personal support regardless of the what the outcome of the controversy might be.
“Since we believe that he should be suspended with pay, we believe it is only fair that we provide him with a donation,” Reichman said. “It is a modest donation compared to the living expenses of a family and compared to the salary he’d be getting if he was employed now.” The AAUP department of academic freedom and tenure and governance applied on Salaita’s behalf, according to Reichman.

City of Urbana expresses displeasure with the Carle Foundation Hospital’s tax exemption.
Carle conflict intensifies BY CHARLOTTE COLLINS STAFF WRITER
Unrest among Urbana residents regarding a rise in their property taxes lead to the posting of yard signs opposing Carle Foundation Hospital’s tax-exempt status. The recent controversy has prompted Urbana residents to question whether Carle’s tax exemption should be legal, although Urbana governing bodies have been aware of the exemption since 2002. While no lawsuit has currently been undertaken, Urbana officials are skeptical of the constitutionality of SB2194 in the Illinois Consti-
tution, and Mayor Laurel Prussing hopes to form a countersuit against Carle in the future. According to Article IX Section 6 of the Illinois Constitution, a property that is used for charitable purposes fits the bill to be exempt from taxes. “The General Assembly by law may exempt from taxation only the property of the State, units of local government and school districts and property used exclusively for agricultural and horticultural societies, and for school, religious, cemetery and charitable purposes,” according to the Illinois Constitution.
After the Carle Clinic and the Carle Foundation Hospital opted for a merger in 2009, they were granted tax-exempt status under SB2194 in 2012, which permitted not-for-profit hospitals to deduct charity work. Of the $5.3 million paid by Carle to Champaign County in 2009 property taxes, Carle was able to successfully appeal $2.9 million. Urbana was hit the hardest by Carle’s tax exemption, Prussing said. “This affected Urbana far more than any other group of taxpayers because 87 percent of Carle’s proper-

The Women’s Resource Center is sponsoring several events throughout October in light of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The center’s list of scheduled events include spoken word performances, discussions, lectures and workshops covering topics like domestic violence prevention and forming healthy relationships. One of the main upcoming events is a candlelight vigil to be held on Oct. 23 in honor of those who have been affected. “The truth of the matter is that mostly everyone has some relationship to domestic violence, whether it’s a family member, themselves or a friend or loved one,” said Rachel Storm, assistant director of the Women’s Resources Center. Capt. Roy Acree of the University Police Depart-
ment said that he believes domestic violence is a huge issue on campus. The University police began recording and publishing statistics related to domestic and dating violence for the first time this year. However, many incidents still go unrecorded. “The vast majority of domestic violence issues are never reported here on campus,” Acree explained. He stated the reason for the lack of incident reporting is because oftentimes the victim blames his or herself, or doesn’t want to get their abuser in trouble. He added that males can also be victims of domestic violence but are less likely to come out and admit it. Changes made to the Clery Act in 2014 required college campuses to start reporting statistics on stalking, domes-
4:30 a.m. in a different apartment, where the second victim woke up with the offender in bed with her. The offender fled when confronted in both incidents. Champaign police said that the suspect was arrested after significant time and resources were expended following up on leads and processing information.

Willard Airport adds fall break flights Options expand for travelers to Chicago, Dallas
BY ELYSSA KAUFMAN STAFF WRITER
Due to the overwhelming number of students and Champaign residents flying in and out of Willard Airport around Thanksgiving, American Airlines and its affi liate Envoy Air have decided to add three new
flights — two to Chicago and one to Dallas. Typically, the flights from Champaign to Chicago and Dallas are 85 percent full, causing students traveling home or back to school to face overcrowding and the potential of not getting a seat on the plane, said Steve Wanzek, manager of Willard Airport. Vac ation travelers, including students as well as Champaign residents, make up the majority of Willard Airport flyers during
Thanksgiving break. In the past, overbooked flights have delayed holiday plans and other sources of transportation were needed. “The extra fl ights show that American Airlines values the community and the people who fly in and out of Champaign,� Wanzek said. Wanzek said that Dallas and Chicago are the two main cities in which people fly in and out of most frequently, as the two cities serve as hubs for connecting flights
to many other states. In addition to adding extra fl ights, Willard Airport is hoping that this decision will possibly lead to future destination expansions. Wanzek said that adding a third destination of Philadelphia or Charlotte, North Carolina, would be beneficial due to those destinations’ ability to connect to other cities.

Shilts retires as Prairie Research director BY TEA LOJANICA STAFF WRITER
The man who brought five independent Illinois research surveys, all of which are at least 150 years old, together under the University’s Prairie Research Institute is officially stepping down as director. Dr. William Shilts campaigned for the addition of the Institute to the University and became its formal director when it joined the University in January 2008. “I don’t think we would be in the University if it weren’t for Bill’s tenacity,� said Brian Anderson, interim executive director of the Prairie Research Institute. “Him getting us into the University was absolutely critical. I think Bill built this incredible foundation.� The Prairie Research Institute is a globally renowned research facility that is second in size only to the U.S. Geological Survey, Anderson said.

CARLE ty is in Urbana,� said Prussing. “The real damage is not on the city budget this year, but on all the taxpayers, business and residential, and on the city’s future if our tax rate is 25 percent higher than that in neighboring Champaign.� Prussing believes that the hospital should be capable of contributing more to the city to save its residents money. “Carle could much more easily pay its $10 million out of its $116 million profits than the city can afford a $1 million cut in its operating budget,� Prussing said. Mike Billimack, Vice president of marketing, strategic planning and government relations for Carle, acknowledged that taxes did rise as a result of Carle’s filing for tax exemption, but there were additional factors. “(Urbana residents’ taxes) spiked for a number of
es, government agencies and the public for economic decisions, as well as the Institute’s actual research. “The reason I came here from Canada is because the geological survey here in Illinois is known worldwide for its ability to use geology to solve societal problems,� Shilts said. Shilts explained that he believes the Institute’s continuous growth and success comes from the strength of the collaboration between the different surveys. Those surveys are: the Illinois Natural History Survey, the Illinois State Archaeological Survey, the Illinois State Geological Survey, the Illinois State Water Survey and the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center. Dean Thomas, who campaigned statewide alongside Shilts to join the University, was also head of the Natural History Survey before stepping down in 2008. Shilts said the Natural History Survey has the most intimate partnership with the University because it has the highest

The AAUP has been involved in the Salaita case previously, sending the University letters expressing their concern about the situation and are waiting to see the University’s Academic Senate Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure does before taking further action. There is the possibility the AAUP will launch its own investigation and possibly place the University administration on its censure list for violations of academic freedoms, Reichman said.
amount of students employed with the survey. “The collaboration is a strength; there’s a sort of dynamic tension you might say,� Thomas said. “It’s almost a trick in how you merge within another organization but still maintain some identity that people recognize around the world.� Anderson, who also serves as the director of the Illinois Natural History Survey, expressed his concern for the search for a new director because of the lack of middle-career scientists. He went on to say that Shilts stepping down proved that it is time for the Institute to prepare for the transition into the retirement of its many late-career researchers. “The question, as we go forward, is how do we position the Institute to go through what is really a generational change,� Anderson said. Shilts, Anderson and Thomas all agreed that the only future for the Institute is constant growth. Shilts added that the Institute

The Women’s Resources Center hopes to use Domestic Violence Awareness Month as a way to get people familiar with the warning signs of abusive relationships, highlight resources that are available in the community, explain how to form healthy relationships and show how race and gender play a role in domestic violence. Storm emphasized the importance of giving support and taking action. “We can have the best papers out there and the
reasons; if you look at communities around central Illinois, pretty much everyone’s property taxes went up between 5 and 10 percent,� Billimack said. “That’s more of a reflection of the overall economy and the state of things and the state of Illinois.� Billimack referred to the 2013 approval of Carle’s tax exemption, and explained the legality of the removal of the hospital as a taxable property. “We filed for the exemption once the law was signed by the governor. We could have filed two years earlier because those properties were part of the not-for-profit organization at that point, but we chose to pay property taxes for two additional years while we knew this was going on in legislature,� Billimack said. Billimack justified the tax exemption on the basis of a prior agreement in 2002 between the local taxing bodies and Carle, which
is the only part of campus that hasn’t had its appropriations reduced. He said that in the 20132014 year, the Institute received about $16 million in state appropriations and generated about $83 million in expenditures. “We are involved in worldclass research. I think it’s going to be a struggle as we look for an executive director who can bring those two pieces of the puzzle,� Anderson said. “The campus, the academic department and the surveys together to really address the big, important emerging science issues. That’s the kind of person we’re looking for.� The new director will be chosen by a search committee out of the Vice Chancellor for Research’s office. Shilts plans on returning to Canada to research climate change’s impact on his previous work in the Arctic, where he has 30 years of research experience.

best theories out there, but it doesn’t mean anything if we don’t put it to practice,� said Adrienne Spires, volunteer and outreach specialist for Rape Advocacy, Counseling & Education Services, and featured speaker at one of this month’s events. Spires spoke on the problems of domestic abuse and sexual violence, discussing the role that race plays in such conflicts both historically and currently, at an event Friday titled “Race, Gender, and the Fight to End Sexual and Structural Violence.� “The only thing I can say is that we have to continue to fight.

lead to two primary lawsuits. The Urbana-based taxing bodies signed an agreement that stated Carle would give money up front in the case that the Carle merger happened. The agreement stated the local taxing bodies would not challenge Carle’s taxexempt status, but the local bodies tried to challenge the status two years later. “Part of the reason we filed that lawsuit was to protect the health care resources of the community and try to get an answer to this issue,� Billimack said. Champaign Mayor Don Gerard acknowledged the fallout between Carle and Urbana was unfortunate, but said there isn’t much to be done about compensating Urbana for the tax hit. “It’s just the price of doing business; it was a decision that was made at the state level,� Gerard said. “We, in Champaign, have made adjustments in other ways. We’ve made cuts, we’ve created revenue, we’ve done

are fighting for the same goals, treatment, and justice, and we have to be collective together,� she said during the presentation. Storm said that victims of domestic violence have many local resources. The Women’s Resources Center offers crisis intervention, advocacy work, counseling, women’s support groups and safe house assignments — all of which are confidential services. Victims can also get help by contacting local organizations, such as Courage Connection and Rape Advocacy, Counseling & Education Services, both of which have crisis hotlines. Those who want to help with the issue of domestic violence can start by demonstrating support, show-
things — and unlike Urbana – we have other opportunities for revenue ... it’s kind of not our fight. It’s the responsibility of state legislators.� Moving forward, the University has partnered with Carle Foundation Hospital and is proposing a College of Medicine, which Alderman Charlie Smyth, Ward 1, believes will bring more financial struggle for locals. Smyth explains that between Carle’s tax exemption and the University’s own expansion, residents will gradually be hit with higher taxes. “At the end of the day, it’s about preserving our ability to meet the needs of the community by providing that free and discounted care for those who need it, and in exchange for that, to follow the law and follow the rules that were created by our state and to move forward in that manner,� Billimack said.

ing interest in the relationships of loved ones and taking note of what it means to be in a healthy relationship, Storm said. Students are also encouraged to wear purple, the color recognized in connection with domestic violence awareness. The Women’s Resources Center will be giving out purple ribbons throughout the month. Acree said the main thing students can do to help prevent domestic violence is to speak out. “Don’t be afraid to step up,� he said. “If you’re a victim, please report it. If you’re someone who’s a witness, call the police.�

And light-emitting diodes wouldn’t be able to brighten up every home in the United States without the efforts of retired University engineering professor Nick Holonyak Jr. Holonyak invented the first visible-spectrum LED light back in 1962, which has allowed for further advancements to the product. But last week, the Nobel Prize committee seemed to forget that when it awarded the physics prize. The award was granted to three researchers who invented the blue LED, or the version of the LED that has made computer screens and smartphones possible. The inventors — Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura — certainly deserved the recognition. The blue LED improves the quality and convenience of life of most Americans every day. We used a blue LED screen to write this editorial, in fact. But Holonyak’s contribution does not deserve to go unnoticed. The blue LED was built on the foundation of Holonyak’s research. He made the first visible LED, something that made the newer blue LED possible. When the Nobel Prize committee announced the award was given to the blue LED’s inventors, they said: “(The inventors) succeeded where everyone else had failed.� That’s true, but Holonyak was part of this success as well. No one before them had made the LED able to have so many applications. No one before Holonyak had made the LED visible. Holonyak has received a myriad of awards for his invention. Prior to last week’s announcement, he said he’s not bitter about not receiving the Nobel Prize. But last week’s choice to honor only some of the key players in the invention of the LED was a snub that rightfully made him upset. In an Oct. 7 article in the News-Gazette, Holonyak is quoted as saying: “Are you going to tell me that the last slave to put a rock up on top of the pyramids gets all the credit for all of the rocks that are in there and up and down the sides? C’mon. What the hell is wrong with you people?� To the Nobel Prize committee, we echo Holonyak. While the three inventors of the blue LED deserved their recognition, the Nobel Prize committee should give credit where credit is due, and part of that credit goes to Nick Holonyak Jr.

YES, PLEASE TO ‘YES PLEASE’
Pumpkin season is upon us and, admittedly, many of us college students still become giddy over carving jack-o’-lanterns, baking pumpkin seeds and taking advantage of the various seasonal, pumpkin-themed foods and drinks — dare we speak of the name of one particular Starbucks product? We’re not the only ones who loves pumpkins though: Earlier this week, one California man took first prize for an annual pumpkin-weighing contest with one that came in at a whopping 2,058 pounds and set a new tournament record. We wonder how many Pumpkin Spice Lattes that would make.
There are few people we love more than all of the former, funny leading ladies of Saturday Night Live — and when they come out with books, we love them even more. Amy Poehler’s book “Yes Please� is set to release on Oct. 28. She has revealed bits and pieces from her memoirs that will appear in the book, and we anticipate she will tell them all with nothing less than knee-slapping humor and a positive perspective, because, as Poehler says, “everything will be fun because life is a closet full of pool toys.�

SOCIAL MEDIA MASTER FIGHTS EBOLA
AGE IS JUST A NUMBER
Mark Zuckerberg, you the real MVP. He and his wife, Priscilla Chan, donated $25 million to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Ebola response effort. “We need to get Ebola under control in the near term so that it doesn’t spread further and become a long-term global health crisis that we end up fighting for decades at large scale, like HIV or polio,� he wrote in a Facebook post (naturally) on Monday. With the death toll and number of people affected across the globe rising every day, we couldn’t agree more. Despite how Zuckerberg was portrayed in “The Social Network,� we now think he’s a pretty great guy.
Sometimes lying is okay. Especially if you’re 114 years old, and you want a Facebook. You see, the networking site’s birth-date options only go back to 1905, meaning anyone born before then is out of luck. Anna Stoehr, 114, ran into this problem when attempting to create an account using her 1900 date of birth. But the restriction was just a bump in the road for this fiery senior. In addition to lying about her age, she sent Mark Zuckerberg a letter letting him know she’s still kicking and will continue to do so while scrolling through her Facebook newsfeed.
Setting American education straight KAANAN RAJA Opinions columnist
W
hile speaking to my 13-year-old brother over the weekend, I listened to him rave about finally having a three-day weekend. Even more, his only homework was to write about Christopher Columbus, the man that gave him this gracious Monday off. “If it wasn’t for him discovering America and figuring out the world was round, I’d be in school right now,� my brother continuously repeated. As an older sister and college student, I was caught off-guard. Columbus didn’t really discover America — he more so opened the door for a near mass-murder of the indigenous people already living there. And Columbus didn’t discover the Earth was round either — Aristotle and Euclid had been writing about the world’s spherical shape in earlier centuries. I was left wondering whether I should pop this patriotic bubble my brother’s school had painted for him. While it left him feeling positive and nationalistic, it also left him incredibly misinformed. However, it isn’t just my brother whose education left him misguided. Recently, student protests broke out in Jefferson County,
Colorado when a school board proposed a new Advanced Placement U.S. History curriculum. This new curriculum for the students wanted to remove lessons that “encourage or condone civil disorder� and instead, want to focus on the parts of history that offered a more “patriotic� view of America. The students retaliated with civil disobedience; they staged walkout protests against the school board, holding signs up that read “Keep your politics out of my education,� as well as “Teach us the truth.� Teachers, parents and others helped. Although some educators might want to change curriculum to increase the amount of nationalism within classrooms, it is the ugly parts of history that students need to remember to become more informed, knowledgeable and open-minded. The proposed curriculum does not condone material that paints America in a negative light or promotes civil disorder. Therefore, topics such as the bombing of Hiroshima and slavery will be skewed to fit the ideals of the school board members, no matter how important the lessons would be to the history class itself. After months of protesting, the school board voted to revamp its original AP U.S. History class, but its new proposal no longer specifically mentions the words patriotism nor civil disorder. However, this hasn’t been enough for the students. The students, parents,
teachers and community members continue to protest until they receive an education that is not censored at all. When we censor education to portray a more positive historic point of view, we downplay the struggles against injustice and discrimination — historical movements such as women’s suffrage and civil rights often do not receive the emphasis they so rightly deserve. There is no reason to sanitize history. Instead we should recognize our country for what it is: One that represents both the pinnacle moments of hope and prosperity as well as travesty and atrocity. However, by omitting certain parts of this history, we are essentially lying to students. Censoring history will not teach students about instances in which our country has made mistakes, and the consequences of not knowing are quite vast. It’s only through knowing what’s happened before that we are able to become more open-minded and actually learn from what has happened in history. As philosopher George Santayana eloquently worded it, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.� In order to create students who are leaders and activists in their own communities with a consciousness for what is truly just, they must know what pivotal moments occurred in our nation’s past. As the students of Jefferson
County know, it takes a great deal of effort to advocate for our basic rights, such as education — sometimes it requires disregarding authority and disrupting social order. As college students planning on going out into the world, education should be our source of empowerment. Being well-informed and knowing the truth about certain topics of importance will allow all of us to become the productive leaders and citizens that college is ultimately preparing us to be. Perhaps this is the reason so many of us have to take some sort of historical or humanities class in order to graduate from the University. Therefore, with our history education and our capabilities of becoming leaders, it’s time that we stop skewing curriculum taught to us before we become college students. We should understand that the education we teach the younger generation has a profound impact on the way they contribute back to society. If we want them to be both knowledgeable and open-minded, we need to open their minds with knowledge. So what should you do the next time a little kid asks if Columbus really did sail the ocean blue searching for America in 1492? Well, you just tell him the truth. I did that for my younger brother.

‘Saturday Night Live’ lacks witty commentary CAMRON OWENS Opinions columnist
‘S
aturday Night Live� is one of my favorite shows and one of the most important shows in television history. But, unfortunately, the show’s current season has left me wanting more. SNL has given birth to a number of comedy icons and legends such as Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler, and its influence is apparent in many television shows. For example, “Weekend Update� has influenced programs such as “The Daily Show� and “The Colbert Report.� Other skits such as “Word Association� have influenced shows like “Key and Peele.� The program has a reputation for being an educated, comedic reflection of the times. I had this in mind when I tuned in to SNL’s 40th season premiere a few weeks ago with high expectations. After I saw SNL lose many talents and face controversy about cast diversity in previous seasons, I was hopeful the show would start anew and not show negative signs of aging. But sadly, sketches featured basic jokes with premises based on people wearing wigs making puns about pets dying.
The brightest minds in comedy had all summer to think of ideas and this is what they came up with? The smart, witty, worldly show of the past seems to have disappeared. To me and many others, SNL is more than a show; it’s a tradition. It’s a place where bright writers and talents come together to create intelligent comedic magic, while we viewers laugh along. But this current season of SNL has been light on laughs. The sketches like the aforementioned “Animal Hospital� and one about Kim Jong-un’s health felt lazy. SNL has created funny, talkedabout comedy bits. Even if you don’t watch SNL, you’ve more than likely seen a skit online. The current season’s skits have not generated much buzz. Viewers need writers to create skits they want to share with friends online and laugh about for years to come. The only skit that anyone seems to be talking about this season is one that faced accusations of plagiarism from the Groundlings sketch comedy school in California. While SNL denied these accusations, many performers at the Groundlings claimed they had performed the Tina Turner skit in question for many SNL writers and producers. These accusations concern me. SNL has always been a groundbreaking force in comedy, not a copycat. To quote Seth Meyers and Amy
Poehler’s “Weekend Update� bit, “Really!?!� Two episodes in, and there are already plagiarism accusations!?! While SNL will undoubtedly move past these accusations like it has previously, we viewers deserve better. SNL has influenced so many comedians in the past, which is why its present and future are just as important. Comedians like Jimmy Fallon found their comedic abilities watching SNL growing up. It needs to show a younger audience what comedy is and what it can be, like it did for previous generations. With so much material in the news, such as Joe Biden’s recent controversial comments and the White House security scandals, the writing’s focus this season has seemed misguided. SNL is supposed to provide viewers with funny takes on topical issues, and these skits fell flat. Last week’s episode with host and former cast member Bill Hader showed improvement over the past two episodes but was not completely improved. Yes, it’s funny and exciting when a former cast member returns to do old, beloved skits, but the show shouldn’t rely solely on former cast members and sketches for humor. First-time host Chris Pratt is certainly a talented actor, but his episode fell flat due to weak writing. And Hader’s episode set a
record for the lowest viewed SNL episode in history. It’s clear viewers aren’t pleased with the show’s quality, and something needs to change. Many shows barely last a season on television, let alone 40. When what is widely considered the most successful comedy show ever faces plagiarism accusations, I believe something needs reworking. Ian Gary, a member of the Groundlings sketch comedy group suggested that the writers be fired for stealing material. Is that the right solution? I don’t know. The creative forces at SNL are certainly smart, talented people capable of making great television, but they can do better than they have been. As someone who absorbs SNL trivia and behindthe-scenes details, I know that the process is fast-paced and strenuous. Making a comedy show in a week has been part of what makes SNL so fascinating. I hope that the show’s writers rework their ideas and make the rest of the season as great as previous ones. Hopefully the writers are only going through a transitional period, and SNL will improve to its former quality. Until then, live from New York — it’s disappointment.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD
ISABELLA JACKSON THE DAILY ILLINI
The T.R. Nelson’s Banana Cream Pie is one of the gluten-free options available at Destihl when specially prepared without the crust and served in a glass.
C-U eateries offer gluten-free BY ISABELLA JACKSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER
As the number of people avoiding gluten continues to rise, restaurants and grocery stores are adapting the products they offer to meet the demand. According to a 2013 NPD group survey, the number of people diagnosed with Celiac disease, an autoimmune disease that leaves a person unable to digest gluten, is four times higher than it was 50 years ago. Kristi Emilsson, grocery manager at Common Ground Food Co-operative in Urbana, said that she has seen an increase in the gluten-free food offered at the establishment in the last four years she has worked there. “There are a lot of individuals that are going glutenfree, not necessarily because they actually have Celiac disease or are gluten-intolerant, but because they’ve discovered that if they go glutenfree, they feel better,” Emilsson said. Julia Addis, freshman in DGS, was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 17 years ago, but coming to campus this year meant having to adjust to getting food near her dorm. Addis said she goes with her roommate, who also eats gluten-free, to pick up groceries at County Market; however, with the limited selection, she often has to have her mom send her packages containing her favorite foods. She said she has been able to find gluten-free pizza at Mia Za’s and Domino’s. Sometimes, choosing her meals just means changing an order by a little bit. “I eat a lot of salads. I can really go anywhere with my friends; I just get a salad or a hamburger without a bun,” Addis said. For a more extensive selection of products, Common Ground Food Co-op is only a short bike ride from campus. It contains a grocery store as well as a bakery and deli serving fresh bread and baked goods made with gluten substitutes. There are pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, a very popular product with glutenfree customers, and seasonal treats such as gingerbread

FASHION with a laugh. “If people don’t wear orange and blue for like a day, you automatically stand out. I do love the pride, though, I have to say ... I think we can do a little bit better.” Students around campus who already sport a unique sense of style will be featured on the group’s Instagram account with a mini interview. Another aspect of the club will focus on a production team that will spearhead a “Fashion Police” segment, combining Steelman’s favorite television show with Kavensky’s video producing experience. Steelman owes her interest in fashion to watching E!’s “Fashion Police” featuring the late Joan Rivers. After watching the show, she found fashion everywhere on TV and online. It was accessible and that attracted her. Becker also cited technological advances such as online shopping and social media as reasons for increased interest. She said Midwestern students have an advantage in the fashion industry because they break in with fresh ideas to
cookies or cranberry and apple scones, which are also gluten-free. Workers are careful to prevent cross-contact between wheat and non-wheat items after they are baked by individually wrapping the food before placing it in the display cabinet, Emilsson said. With companies producing more gluten-free options, consumers can change their diet without sacrificing taste. Udi’s and Rudi’s are two brands of gluten-free bread that taste very similar to a regular wheat or white loaf, according to Emilsson. Crackers, pretzels and cookies put out by brands such as Glutino, Pamela’s and Enjoy Life Foods can serves as possible snacks for those avoiding gluten. Those skilled in the kitchen can purchase gluten-free flour, oats and baking mixes to make recipes from scratch as well. Packaged items in the stores that are marketed as gluten-free are made by companies that have undergone certification to ensure their facilities will not contaminate products with gluten pathogens. This can lead to the price differential between regular and gluten-free items, Emilsson said. Along with the costs of certifying and updating facilities, gluten-free products are generally made with higher-quality ingredients, putting them more in the price range of organic and vegan food, rather than with mass-produced chips and cookies. Companies that haven’t been certified in the past are now taking the time to get their facilities checked and verified, she said. “It means that conventional companies are recognizing both that there is a market interest in those products, and that what is necessary and safe for people that really truly have that sensitivity is to dedicate that facility,” Emilsson said. When students want to go out to eat, there are many restaurants in the area that serve gluten-free meals, but Destihl in downtown Champaign has one of the more extensive menus. Addis says that it is one of her favorite places to go with her parents when they are in town.
Customers can order from a large selection of options, from signature entrees such as the Gaucho Skirt Steak and Cedar Plank Salmon to favorites such as the four types of pasta, various salads or handmade pizzas. The chefs will also work to adapt popular items on the main menu to be gluten-free, according to Ray Manning, the restaurant’s manager. For example, T.R. Nelson’s Banana Cream Pie, one of the most popular desserts, can be served without the crust in a decorative glass, eliminating the gluten in it. Although there is gluten in other food offered at Destihl, Manning said the restaurant’s staff does its best to know more about gluten and ways to avoid it when necessary. “We are very careful to avoid cross-contamination in the kitchen. Our stations are very clean, and each station is very aware of what they contain that has allergens in it,” he said. Destihl is also a brewery, and makes gluten-free beer, which is generally hard to come by because the main ingredients of regular beer, such as wheat, rye and barley, all contain gluten. The Anti-gluten Cherry is also on the menu, which is a Belgian-style, gluten-free ale made from rice, sorghum and fresh cherries. According to Manning, the drink is a favorite with customers, whether they are gluten-free or not. “We have a lot of people who drink it, because they like it, not just because it’s the only thing they can have,” he said. Although gluten-free options near campus are more available than in the past, Addis said she wishes she could find gluten-free items such as chocolate cake or Insomnia Cookies that are close to the regular wheat versions. Though there are many products with gluten-free substitutes, she said she has always wanted to try the original Goldfish crackers. “They just intrigue me!” Addis said.
an industry bogged down by a harsher look at fashion. “To have somebody come in with a fresh perspective should be exactly what a company is looking for,” Becker said. Mirroring the show, club members will limit their playful critiques to celebrity style. The production team will also be in charge of creating a video of the fashion show. Kavensky and Steelman have reached out to several local boutiques, including Findings on Kirby Avenue in Champaign, hoping to spark interest in working with the club. Fira in Gregory Place East in Urbana has agreed to work the show as a vendor. Steelman and Kavensky proposed an ongoing relationship where the shops would gain publicity in exchange for donating clothes to be featured in the show. “We really want it to be a mutual experience. So, we want to help them as much as they’re helping us,” Steelman said. A public relations committee will have the chance to work with Findings as a client. The group will audit its social media pages and suggest fresh ideas for more publicity. Along with the fashion
show and new clientele, Fashion Network members can look forward to a Google talk with a contact at Intermix — a boutique chain and e-commerce website based in New York. Looking further ahead, Steelman plans to set up a Q-and-A with her aunt Alissa French, Midwest advertising director at Cosmopolitan Magazine. Once the group’s events start to fall into place, Kavensky also hopes to start up an e-commerce section devoted to promoting student and local fashion designers looking to sell their work. A former tomboy, Kavensky is excited to work toward promoting designers from the campus where she found her interest in fashion. Becker has high hopes for Fashion Network members who understand a more realistic consumer. Coming from a Midwest college campus known more for its corn plots than highclass fashion can have its advantages. “If you could make it in Champaign-Urbana, you can make it anywhere,” Becker said. “If something’s going to sell here it’s probably selling across the country.”

“We wanted it to really be about building your resume, building your network — hence, ‘The Fashion Network.’ ” ILANA STEELMAN SOPHOMORE IN LAS PORTRAIT BY FOLAKE OSIBODU THE DAILY ILLINI

CONTRIBUTING WRITER
ia Kavensky and Ilana Steelman sat at a small table in the front room of Espresso Royale on Goodwin Avenue. An idea and a passion for the fashion industry brought them together for the fi rst time. Steelman sipped on an iced coffee, escaping the dwindling summer heat as the two laid groundwork for their new Registered Student Organization — The Fashion Network. It was going to be something different. It would foster a community of students who wanted more from their campus fashion experience. “I went on a lot of interviews last year ... and I found myself really under-prepared,” said Kavensky, junior in Media. “And I really didn’t have the kind of work that the fashion industry’s looking for.” Kavensky knew she was not
alone in her struggle to fi nd oncampus experience related to fashion. Building her own RSO with Steelman, sophomore in LAS, became the perfect way to start a network of students and to develop a community of contacts outside the University. Club members will have the chance to sign up for committees tailored to varying aspects of the industry. This includes public relations and advertising, fashion writing and potentially a designing perspective. In early November, a fashion show will kick off their events. Club members will be involved in every aspect, from contacting potential partners at local boutiques to fi nding vendors and models. However, fi nding willing boutiques is not always easy, according to Susan Becker, the fashion design professor at the University. “A lot of times some people approach these boutiques and they think ‘Oh, they’re just going to be

also produce two to three posts a week on the RSO’s website — a fashion blog currently modeled after Rachel Zoe’s “The Zoe Report.” Kavensky and Steelman asked group members to sign up for weekly shifts where writers will choose between style and entertainment news as topics for each post. Anna Lazzarini, head of web design and junior in Business, is most excited to work on her fi rst website design project. The club sparked her interest by providing a new perspective on e-commerce work that she experienced at an internship with Staples over the summer. She was ready for something different, and The Fashion Network promises a change from the typical business career fair opportunities by supporting a campus fashion atmosphere. “Fashion on campus needs a little bit of help,” Lazzarini said

I’ve defi nitely changed some lives and others have changed mine, so I want people to know that I still care about those things. DI: Was it different performing as a child than it is now performing as an adult? AC: I didn’t really go straight from child star to adult. I opened up for the Backstreet Boys at seven, and I released an album at nine, and then at 15 and at 17. I was in the Broadway performance of “Suessical” at 15, and I did “Dancing With the Stars” at 21. My family had their reality show, but we didn’t want to be like the Kardashians and lay our entire life out for people. I want to maintain my integrity. I’m not in it for the money. Obviously, I started performing when

Aaron Carter, pictured last year at Canopy Club, returns to the venue tonight. He will perform with Upside. I was seven, and I had no clue that it’d make me money nor did I have a desire for the money. So obviously that’s not why I’m here. I love doing what I do, so I can’t really say much has changed.

Birks’ helps Illini topple defending national champions 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. BY STEPHEN BOURBON

visiting team winning at Rec Hall, the home court of the Penn State volleyball team, is a rare occurrence. Coming into last Saturday’s match against Illinois, the Nittany Lions had won 44 of their last 45 at home, and 94 of the last 96. There must have been a blue moon in the sky on Saturday as the Illini toppled the defending national champions in four sets. Jocelynn Birks posted 19 kills and 12 digs, while setting a new career-high by hitting .472 on the day. The junior started slowly, along with the Illini but got better as the match went on. The Illini team that beat the Nittany Lions looked very different than it had all season. Illinois ran a 5-1 offense for the first time this season. Julia Conard, who had played only six sets all season coming into the match, led the team with 18 digs. Outside hitter Katie Roustio, who had 11 kills on 35 attempts all season, doubled each of those numbers in one match. But amid the flurry of changes and new strategy, it was the Illini’s outside hitter that delivered the win. “I think from the beginning I was trying to get something going. Some energy, some fire because we knew how crazy it was going to be

The Nittany Lions blitzed the Illini early in the first set, taking a 19-8 lead. Birks put down a kill to pull the Illini within 10 and then went on a three-point run from the serving line to get the comeback started. The Illini chipped away bit by bit, eroding the lead to six, then another string of points brought the deficit to 23-22. Facing a Penn State set point at 24-23, Birks recorded back-to-back kills to give the Illini the lead late in the set. A Penn State hitting error sealed the set. Both Birks, a third-year starter, and head coach Kevin Hambly said they had never been a part of that sort of a comeback against such a talented opponent. “Not against a team like that, not that caliber of team,� Hambly said. “We just steadied out passing-wise and created a bunch of swings, and we did great.� “It didn’t even feel like that, honestly,� Birks add-

With arena closed, Illini hold event for select fans BY NICHOLAS EDWARD DAVID FORTIN STAFF WRITER
In lieu of the annual Orange and Blue intrasquad scrimmage, the Illinois men’s basketball team will try something new to start the season. With renovations to State Farm Center ongoing, the Illini will host the fi rstever “Illini All In� event. The event will take place at the Ubben Basketball
Practice Facility on Sunday, Oct. 26, from 1-3:30 p.m. and will consist of a scrimmage and other activities only open to a select few Illini fans. According to a press release from the athletic department, the event will feature “complimentary food and drinks, courtside or balcony viewing for the team scrimmage, interaction with players and coaches including an auto-
graph session, plus an Illini-themed gift.� With high demand for access to the event, the athletic department is urging fans to communicate their interest in one of two ways. Illinois fans can either fi ll out an online ballot at fightingillini.com or tweet @IlliniHoops and use #ILLINIALLIN to tell the Illini why they deserve to be selected for the event. In the same press release,
the athletic department also encouraged potential participants to “be creative with their message, including the uploading of photos and videos� to show “why they are among the most passionate Illini fans around.� University student and public season ticket holders will have priority in the selection process. Fans that aren’t selected for the event will still be able to
ILLINI FOOTBALL MIDSEASON REPORT CORNERBACKS: C Illinois’ pass defense ranks sixth in the Big Ten, but despite ranking in the middle of the conference, Illini cornerbacks haven’t seen that much action. Opposing teams have elected to run on Illinois, taking advantage of a weak rushing defense. Opposing teams have thrown the ball just 196 times on 561 plays against Illinois.
50
WIDE RECEIVERS: A-
A bright spot for Illinois is in its wide receivers. Freshman standout Mike Dudek is fourth in the Big Ten in receiving yards per game with 85.4 and has 598 total yards. Dudek and junior college transfer Geronimo Allison are sixth and seventh in the Big Ten respectively in receptions per game.
Illinois’ linebackers have struggled this season, despite Mason Monheim’s two forced fumbles on 64 tackles. Six of the Illini’s top10 leading tacklers are defensive backs, which comes from the team’s trouble stopping running backs at the line of scrimmage.
DEFENSIVE LINE: B Despite facing troubles with allowing large rushing gains, the Illini defense leads the Big Ten in tackles for loss per game. The Illini are averaging just under two sacks per game and have a veteran defensive line, led by senior Austin Teitsma and junior transfer Jihad Ward.
OFFENSIVE LINE: C While the quarterbacks have performed in the pocket, the offensive line has failed at times to protect the passer. The offensive line has allowed 22 sacks for a loss of 140 yards. These sacks have allowed for multiple quarterback injuries.
QUARTERBACKS: B+ Injuries sidelined Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt, who helped the team lead the Big Ten in passing offense with 1,569 yards and 13 touchdowns. Backups Reilly O’Toole and Aaron Bailey have combined for 539 yards and three passing touchdowns, but also five interceptions. Time will tell whether one can really step up to lead the Illini in Lunt’s absence.
RUNNING BACKS: D Where the Illinois defense has struggled defending the run game, they Illinois offensive rushing attack hasn’t been much better. Running backs Josh Ferguson and Donovann Young have combined for 636 of the Illinois 729 rushing yards and nine of the team’s 10 rushing touchdowns.

BY SEAN NEUMANN AND CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITERS
With the football season more than halfway over, The Daily Illini football writers graded positions and overall parts of the team. Here’s the report card:
DEFENSE (OVERALL): DSAFETIES: BLed by senior Zane Petty, the Illini safeties have had their hands full this season. With Illinois’ trouble stopping the run, the team’s defensive backs have been forced to step in to stop opposing running backs when they break free through the Illini defense. Petty leads the Illini with 65 tackles while sophomore Taylor Barton and junior Eaton Spence also rank in the team’s top five tacklers.

LINEBACKERS: D
watch the scrimmage live on fightingillini.com. “We are excited to offer the ‘Illini All In’ event to our fans as the stateof-the-art renovations to State Farm Center continue,� Groce said in the press release. “We will be delivering one of the best basketball arenas in the country to our fans when the project is complete, and until then we are being creative in showcasing our
TIGHT ENDS: C
Jon Davis and Matt LaCosse each have a touchdown apiece and recorded 153 receiving yards. But as seniors, the pair should be doing more to help the Illini offense.
The Illini defense has been the team’s Achilles’ heel, allowing 484.6 yards per game and 28 touchdowns in its first seven games. Ranking last in the conference in total defense and rushing defense, Illinois has had trouble stopping Big Ten running backs, giving up 19 rushing touchdowns this season.
OFFENSE (OVERALL): B-
Illinois leads the Big Ten passing offense with 2132 yards, but has failed to really muster a strong run game. Though the quarterback and wide receivers have clicked early in the fall, the road ahead will be tough as a result of a lackluster run game and an inconsistent quarterback situation.
SPECIAL TEAMS: C+
Illinois’ special teams have been fickle at best. Head coach Tim Beckman has voiced concerns all season about Illini kickers Taylor Zalewski and David Reisner, but has been happy with punter Justin Duvernois’ performance. Offensively, returner V’Angelo Bentley has yet to return a kick for a touchdown but has promising run backs on kickoffs to set up Illini drives.
KICKING (PUNTING): A
Illini punter Justin Duvernois leads the Big Ten in punting, averaging 44.8 yards per punt; however, Illinois has been forced to punt more times than nearly every team in the conference. The Illini are tied with Northwestern for 39 punts in the first seven games.
KICKING (FIELD GOALS/PAT): D
Illinois has struggled kicking field goals and converting point after attempts. The Illini have made just two field goals on five attempts this season, the worst in the conference. Kicker Taylor Zalewski was pulled in favor of David Reisner after failing to convert a PAT against Texas State, an act Reisner mimicked two weeks later against Purdue
KICK/PUNT COVERAGE: C+
Illinois’ kickoff coverage has been average this season, allowing 293 return yards on 36 kicks. The Illini punt coverage has been much better, only allowing 2.8 return yards per punt.
RETURNING: B
Illinois was looking forward to another impressive season from returner V’Angelo Bentley, who returned a punt and a kickoff for a touchdowns last season. Bentley has yet to return a kick for a touchdown this season but has averaged 22.3 yards per return on kickoffs, a slight improvement from last year’s 21.4 return average. The returner has brought one back as far as 67 yards this season, leading to speculation over when Bentley will take one all the way back.

No. 1 men’s golf, Detry take 1st at Sagamore preview BY LAUREN MROZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Three tournaments into the fall season, Illinois men’s golf is still undefeated after a win at the Sagamore Fall Preview. The final round was cancelled Tuesday due to poor weather and unfeasible conditions, reverting scores back to Monday’s second round totals. Finishing at 6-underpar, the Illini were named the team champions taking an eight-shot victory over No. 19 Auburn, who they were scheduled to be paired with in the final round. The tournament was at the Sagamore Club in Noblesville,
Indiana. After a bogey-free second round, junior Thomas Detry finished with a 5-under-par 139, landing him in first place overall and giving him his second collegiate victory. Senior Brian Campbell finished in second, three strokes behind his teammate. In the first round, the Illini struggled at points, placing them four strokes behind Auburn and 6-overpar to start the second round. All five Illini golfers bogeyed in the tournament’s opening round. Freshmen Nick Hardy (three bogeys, one double and one triple

IOTW ed. “With the way we were playing and the way we were attacking them and going after them, it didn’t feel like we were down. It was pretty cool.� After Penn State took the second set handily, the third set was the most competitive from the opening serve. Illinois went ahead 3-2 and never relinquished the lead, although the team never led by more than five points. Birks had seven kills in the decisive third set, including five on the Illini’s final nine points. “Once we won that third set, we just kept it going,� Birks said. Illinois opened up a 23-14 lead in the fourth set, only to have Penn State make one last run. The Nittany Lions would get as close as 24-22 before Anna Dorn earned a solo block to seal the deal. “We were all pretty confident that we were going to get that last point there, but it was a little scary. Kept it interesting,� Birks said with a laugh. Birks has been the Illini’s leader in kills for three straight seasons now and only continues to improve, especially in her efficiency. Birks has hit higher than .400 in four matches this season after achieving the feat only three times in her first two seasons combined. Her hitting percentage on the season, .265, is 74 points higher than last year and 41 points higher than her freshman year. “She’s getting better,� Hambly said. “It’s part of getting stronger. The setting is better, the passing is better. Everything is better. We have better balance so we don’t have to rely on her even though she puts up big numbers. It’s all of those things.� While the win at Penn State is a once-in-a-season occurrence, having Birks show up for the Illini is something Hambly expects every time she takes the court. “She just hit good shots and didn’t have any errors,� Hambly said. “She went high and hard against a really physical team. She can do that any night.�

bogey) and Dylan Meyer (four bogeys) were slow out of the gate, but both quickly recovered. Junior Charlie Danielson got the Illini back on track in the second round. He birdied the fourth hole, which would quickly change the pace for Illinois. Campbell followed with a birdie on No. 5. Detry made consecutive birdies at Nos. 6 and 7, and Hardy continued the trend at No. 8. Despite a rough first round, all five Illini golfers finished within the top 20 on the board of 75. “I was happy with our resilience yesterday.� head
coach Mike Small said. “It was a tough day, and we faced a lot of adversity with the conditions of playing. We ran into some tough spots, and lot of guys had issues that they fought back from. We played a strong last nine holes yesterday that pushed us ahead, and as it turns out, that’s what we needed to do to win the tournament.� With its third victory, Illinois joins Oregon as the only two teams in the nation with three wins this season. The Illini will leave Champaign again Friday and head to Orlando, Florida, for the Tavistock Collegiate Invitational. The
highly regarded threeday tournament will begin Sunday. A win in Orlando will tie the current Illini with the 1988-89 team for most fall victories with four. Only eight other times have the Illini won more than three tournaments in the spring and fall seasons combined. The trip to Orlando marks the Illini’s final competition of the fall season. Illinois still remains ranked No. 1 in the country.

Summary: Poor weather cut the Sagamore Fall Preview short, but the Illini’s second round scores were enough to keep them on top. Key Performer: Thomas Detry finished in first for his second collegiate win.

Illini star returns as assistant coach BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
It was the third round of the 2013 NCAA tournament. The field of teams was down to 16 and Illinois was one of them. It was a special tournament run for the entire team, but for Vanessa DiBernardo, each win meant extending her career at least one more match. That was why after the loss to Boston College that ended Illinois’ season, DiBernardo could barely get through her post-game interview without breaking down into tears. “Last year was emotional because I was injured most of the year, so I didn’t know what was going to be my last game or not,� DiBernardo said now. DiBernardo thought her days as an Illini were numbered after that loss to Boston College, but luckily for her and the soccer program, she has to complete one more semester of classes, and it was a no-brainer to keep her with the team as a student assistant coach this season. “I was in a meeting one time with Janet (Rayfield) and we were kind of talking about what was going to happen next, and I asked if maybe I could just help out with the team, and she was like, ‘Yeah, I was thinking the same thing,’ � DiBernardo said. “So it was kind of just a mutual agreement and it really worked out easily. “So it’s nice to still be in this environment; it’s a great environment. I love it — I wouldn’t be back if I didn’t.� The two-time All-American’s illustrious career as an Illini ended with her atop the school’s all-time record books in assists (22), third all-time in goals (43) and tied for first all-time in shots (325). She earned endless awards, including Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2010, Big Ten Midfielder of the Year in 2011, and NSCAA second-team and third-team honors in 2011 and 2012, respectively. The list goes on. She was a leader on the field, and current Illini

who played with her are more than glad to have her around for another season. “It’s awesome,� junior midfielder Nicole Breece said. “She’s a great player and she has a lot of knowledge about the game, so it’s just nice to have her around to coach us a little more and gain knowledge from a girl that’s closer to our age.� As a student assistant coach, DiBernardo helps the staff with some of the “housekeeping� work, such as preparing itineraries and planning meals for the team’s road trips. She also practices with the team and has been able to offer years of soccer expertise to some of the younger players. Senior forward Jannelle Flaws views her as a model of hard work that every player should follow. “She’s always been a really hard worker,� Flaws said. “She’s always looking to do something bigger and something better. And I think that attitude has shown that just by working hard, you can get to certain places.� After what may have been the lowest of the lows in the loss to Boston College last season, DiBernardo has
experienced some of the highest of the highs since. Her decorated collegiate career was recognized when she was drafted fourth overall in the 2014 NWSL draft by the Chicago Red Stars. The Naperville native played all 23 games for the Red Stars over the summer, starting 19 matches and finishing with three assists and one goal while playing the third most minutes on the team. DiBernardo said it was a difficult adjustment to the faster and more physical level of play in the pros, and she is using her time on the Illinois coaching staff to improve her play next season. “I’m seeing a different side of things and I get to see the behind the scenes stuff of the coaches, and it’s just a different look at how they view things,� DiBernardo said. “I’m always in a learning environment, and especially with the coaches that we have here, you’re just always taking in any information you can. I’m constantly learning from them, which is good.� The learning goes both ways, as DiBernardo has
been a strong presence on the sidelines for the Illini and tries to offer what she has learned with the Red Stars whenever she can. “It’s more than being a captain and less than being a full-time coach, but it’s that role where she just gets to give her expertise,� head coach Janet Rayfield said. “I think she’s done a great job of not trying to take over the team that’s no longer hers, so to speak, but being around and available to help the players who certainly respect her.� After four years of coaching DiBernardo and even travelling with her to Japan to be a part of the United States under-20 women’s national team in 2012, Rayfield has developed one of the strongest bonds with DiBernardo and may be one of the happiest people to have her around just a little longer. “I think that when you have a player like that, and I hope it’s the same on her side of things, the longer they’re in your life, the more you learn from them and the more they learn from you and the more that relationship continues
to develop,� Rayfield said. “So I think it’s a wonderful opportunity for her to be here and for us to continue to learn from each other.� DiBernardo’s career as a professional soccer player is just beginning and the sky’s the limit. With one season in Chicago under her belt, DiBernardo said she just wants continue playing and improving. She also wants experience overseas, and her ultimate goal is to play for the United States women’s national team. Rayfield doesn’t want DiBernardo to forget she always has a place to come back to in Champaign though. “She always knows that she has a home here where she can come and train and continue to develop,� Rayfield said. “As a professional athlete, you certainly want a place you can come home to that understands your needs and your training environment, and certainly she’ll always have a place here at this program.�

Volleyball trying to avoid trap game against Iowa BY STEPHEN BOURBON SENIOR WRITER
Heading into Wednesday’s match against Iowa, the Illinois volleyball team is facing a potential trap game. After a upset win at thenNo. 5 Penn State and a trip to No. 13 Nebraska this weekend, the Illini are now focused on avoiding a misstep against Iowa. The Hawkeyes (8-9, 0-6 Big Ten) have dropped six

straight conference matches — seven overall — and haven’t won a set since Sept. 13. Illinois has beaten Iowa in 15 straight matches. Senior Morganne Criswell is making sure the team isn’t overlooking anyone. “Everybody in the Big Ten is good,� Criswell said. “Iowa is actually looking pretty good this year, even though they don’t really have the record to prove it.�

The Illini also utilized some different personnel against the Nittany Lions with Julia Conard and Katie Roustio. The seldom-used duo both played all four sets against Penn State, with Conard leading the team in digs, while Roustio chipped in 11 kills. Another sign of growth from the Penn State match was in the fourth set, where Illinois held off a 10-2 run
from the defending national champs to clinch the victory. After being snake-bitten by Ohio State in the fifth set last Wednesday, Hambly said he wasn’t worried. “We didn’t panic. The Ohio State thing was an anomaly. I don’t expect that to happen again,� Hambly said.

Bears’ Cutler can lead the team to victory MICHAL DWOJAK Assistant sports editor
T
his Chicago Bears season has been a roller coaster ride. The team’s 3-3 record is an indicator of that. Bears fans have gone from panicking after a loss to the Bills, to buying tickets to Glendale, Arizona, after wins against the 49ers, to giving up on the team after losses to the Packers and Panthers. Well, here we are. The team just beat the Falcons in comprehensive fashion. Jay Cutler had what some consider his best game as a Bear and a depleted defense made needed plays. So, what are we to expect? Are “Da Bears� back to being Super Bowl contenders? Or are they just going to continue the trend toward another 8-8 season? This team has always had the capability of being a playoff contender. Well, there is a simple game plan the team can follow to reach a record that will land it a playoff spot, while also saving us from the weekly fan overreaction.
The key for the defense is simple: limit as much as possible. Last year’s defense was the worst in franchise history. Many called for the job of defensive coordinator Mel Tucker. But general manager Phil Emery worked his magic during the offseason, signing free agents Jared Allen, Willie Young and Lamarr Houston. Emery also drafted cornerback Kyle Fuller and defensive tackle Will Sutton. Although the defense has t a ken a hit due to injuries, it has done what it needs to do. It ranks 25th with 24 points allowed per game, which is where it needs to be. This defense doesn’t need to be a top defense for this team to succeed. If it creates a turnover, great! If points are earned from said turnovers, fantastic! If it remains to be a middle-in-the-pack defense, the next phase of the game will fi nish the job. The key for the offense
is simple: score. The Bears tied for second in points per game during the regular season in 2013, averaging 27.8 points per game. This team has the offensive talent to match or even surpass that number. The team has monster wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery who can catch anything Cutler throws in t hei r v i c i n i t y. When both Marshall and Jeffery are well covered, there’s a big tight end named M a r tel lus Bennett who can make impressive catches and absorb big hits. Well, if all three are covered, they’re toast, right? Wrong. Running back Matt Forte is one of the best allpurpose backs in the league. Forte leads the league with 46 catches. If he’s not running the ball, he is running a slant, offering a solution for Cutler when he’s under pressure. So it’s all on Cutler! Cut-
ler’s the reason why this team is a mediocre team! Well, not quite. The offensive line has faced injury after having all five starters play every game last season. Center Roberto Garza and guard Matt Slauson have missed a couple of games and left tackle Jermon Bushrod will miss a few more. Although the line has kept together for the most part, there have been moments when Cutler has taken big hits or been sacked. But as the line gets healthier, this should not be an issue. So the rest is on Cutler. For some, that is scary. Cutler is not an elite quarterback and will most likely will never be. He will show off his arm and make throws that amaze anyone. He will also make mistakes that drive fans crazy, and his reaction to it will drive fans mad. The thing Bears fans need to understand is that this is your quarterback. Love him or hate him, he is the franchise quarterback. He is the quarterback the organization gave a big contract to. And that shouldn’t frustrate Bears fans. This offense is talented enough that Jay Cutler can be the quarter-
Cutler has the talent. It’s up to him to lead it down the field.
NUCCIO DINUZZO TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler throws a pass during the second quarter of their game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 5. While some fans are frustrated with Cutler, the Bears’ offense is strong enough that Cutler can lead them to victory. back that leads them to victory. Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl and not many consider him to be elite. Cutler has the talent. It’s up to him to lead it down the field. So calm down Bears fans. It might be unusual to see a Bears team that relies on offense rather than defense, but the times they are a-changing. If the defense limits opponents to about 20 points per game and maybe creates a
few turnovers, that’d be a perfect game for them. Cutler and the offense need to score enough points to win, and if they do so, Bears fans will not have to endure another mediocre roller coaster ride this season.
