Breuder bill could cap University severance BY LILLY MASHAYEK STAFF WRITER
The Breuder Bill, which limits community college employee severance pay and term limits, went into effect in September 2015 and could lead to smaller severance packages for University executives. The bill, signed by Governor Bruce Rauner, limits community college employee terms to four years and increases the visibility of employee contracts to the public, requiring them to be informed of any changes to an employee contract. Named after College of DuPage’s former president Robert Breuder, the bill aims to lessen the air of controversy that has recently surrounded a number of college and university employees and their severance packages.

National History Survey receives thousands of specimen donations SIUC donates reptiles, amphibians and fish with grant BY ALI BRABOY STAFF WRITER
The Illinois Natural History Survey has described itself as the guardian and recorder of biological specimens of Illinois since 1858. And recently the collection got even bigger. Southern Illinois University Carbondale, , gave 12,000 specimens containing amphibians and reptiles and more than 700,000 spe-
cies of fish to the survey, said Chris Phillips, curator of amphibians and reptiles at the survey. Although the specimens were donated, they did not come without a cost. The survey received a $141,889 Rapid Response Research grant from the National Science Foundation to bring the specimens to Champaign. The grant started on May 15, covering the cost of transportation and the man hours it took to pack and label the collections. Without the grant, Phillips said the survey wouldn’t have been able to get the specimens. According to the grant’s
abstract, if the specimens weren’t transported to the University, SIUC would pack and move the specimens off-campus without a trained staff to maintain the collections. The collections would have been “stored indefinitely at that off-campus location and not curated or monitored.” If SIUC had boxed and stored the collections, it’s unclear what could have happened to the specimens. Phillips said it depended on how long the storage was going to be for and the conditions involved. He said wet collections need to have their fluid levels checked on a regular basis, which wouldn’t have been possi-
ble had the collections been stored.
So, why are natural history collections important? To understand the world, there needs to be collections for people to perform continuous studies of natural history specimens, according to The Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections. The survey has more than 9.5 million specimens, according to its website. The collection’s work as a resource for documenting changes “in species distributions,” and the survey’s

UI and Carle Health System announce research agreement BY MARYCATE MOST AND CHARLOTTE COLLINS ASSISTANT NEWS EDITORS
In a statement released Monday morning, the University announced that a new research affiliation agreement with Carle Health System, which will establish new policies regarding joint research and governance, was completed. The agreement, which was signed last week, was part of an affiliation agreement signed by the Board of Trustees in July, said Kayla Banks, executive director of Operations and Planning at Carle-Illinois College of Medicine. The Board and Carle decided in July to sign the additional agreements within 90 days of the affiliation agreement, which led the University and Carle to “work diligently” to establish the new policies, Banks said. “(The agreement) really creates a governance structure for collaborative research between the two
organizations and between University researchers and Carle physicians,” Banks said. “It really creates a road map for translating research from the laboratory bench

to the point-of-care delivery, and with that, sparking innovation to allow for provisions of care to more patients at a lower cost with better outcome.” The joint governance structure will be led by a steering committee consisting of four administrators — Peter E. Schiffer, University vice chancellor for research, Matthew Gibb, Carle chief medical officer, Carle’s vice president of research, and
between the University and Carle through a variety of mechanisms. “The mechanisms are the governance committees that will be put into place and then also providing some roadmaps for the nitty-gritty of research, like intellectual property management,” Banks said. On Sept. 30, the University and Carle announced the creation of a search committee to name a dean of

the college. According to a University press release, the committee will aim to have a dean named by spring 2016. “(The committee will be) looking for a candidate with extremely strong collaborative leadership skills,” Gibb said in a previous interview with The Daily Illini. He said the committee will also look for someone of “national prominence” who can help recruit the caliber of faculty the college will seek. Robin Kaler, campus spokeswoman, said in a previous interview, once a dean is chosen, the “first order of business” is establishing job requirements; the committee is not yet sure what exactly they’re looking for in a candidate. Regardless, she said external nominations are encouraged. “The dean will be heavily involved with development of curriculum and logistics such as space needs and facility needs,” Kaler said.
The bill was sponsored by the Illinois Senate’s Subcommittee on Public Higher Education Executive Compensation, said Illinois state senator and subcommittee Chairman Bill Cunningham, who co-sponsored the bill. Some of the controversies include former College of DuPage president Robert Breuder’s misuse of college funding, former University of Illinois at Chicago chancellor Paula Allen-Meares’s longevity payout and former Illinois State University president Timothy Flanagan’s misdemeanor charge. The committee also put out a report in May that looked at compensation issues and administrative costs in Illinois compared to other states and found that there are increasing administrative costs across the nation, Cunningham said. “I’ve seen how much tuition costs have increased over the years, and one reason is increased administration costs which have gone up over 30 percent over the last 10 years,” Cunningham said. “This is one of a number of ways to get some of those costs under control.” The bill currently only applies to community colleges, but there is talk of amending the bill further to include four-year institutions, including the University. Some pending reform bills, Senate Bills 2155 through 2159 and 2174, look to require public

notice of contracts and to make severance packages stricter by banning non-salary compensation. There are currently some laws in place that regulate four-year universities, but none deal with employee contracts or severa nce packages, Cunningham said. “Senate Bill 2159 would essentially take the Breuder Bill and apply it to state universities,” Cunningham said. The pending reform bills are expected to reach the general floor early next year, he said. However, president i a l compensation and presidential contract lawyer Raymond D. Cotton , who has worked with over 350 institutions across the country, doesn’t think there is a need for such reform laws. “The governor should have vetoed this bill. It shows distrust in trustees, and puts institutions at a comparative disad-
vantage,” Cotton said. “I don’t see any substantial good coming out of this legislature.” When you look at the big picture, severance payments to university executives make up a very small portion of the schools’s budgets and have zero affect on tuition, Cotton said. “State legislators, in general, know very very little about complexities of running a large university,” Cotton said. “The exceptions are those people who were higher-level administrators who then elected to run for public office.” Cunningham said enforcing severance caps wouldn’t necessarily directly correlate to decreasing tuition costs, but they are an “effort to curtail administration costs going forward.” While the University has taken a neutral position regarding the bills, it is “currently in communication with the sponsors of the bill and the legislators in order to provide them information as they request it,” said Tom Hardy, University spokesman.

The board committee on Governance, Personnel and Ethics unanimously agreed to forward Killeen’s request to waive his retention bonus Thursday. If approved, Killeen would defer a five-year $225,000 bonus. The board will vote on the request at the Nov. 12 meeting. Cunningham acknowledged Killeen’s effort to reduce administrative costs. “The recent moves by President Killeen stand as a great example for other u n iversit y a nd c ol lege administrators throughout the state,” Cunningham said.

Obama signs budget deal, debt limit suspension PAUL M. KRAWZAK TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama signed the budget agreement and debt limit increase into law Monday, preventing any chance of a default on the government’s debt and lessening the chances of a government shutdown later in the year. But Obama pointed out that appropriators still have much work to do prior to the Dec. 11 end of the continuing resolution now funding fiscal 2016 government operations. “This is just the first step between now and the middle of December, before the Christmas break,” the president said. “The appropriators are going to have to do their job; they’re going to have to come up with spending bills. “But this provides them the guidepost and the baseline with which to do that. And I’m confident that they can get it done on time.” The newly enacted legislation will suspend the $18.1 trillion debt limit until March 15, 2017, when the borrowing ceiling would reset at the level of debt at that time. Obama said at the signing that Republicans and Democrats came together to “set up a responsible,
long-term budget process,” that will create jobs and assist the economy. “And by locking in two years of funding, it should finally free us from the cycle of shutdown threats and last-minute fixes. It allows us to, therefore, plan for the future,” he said. The budget portion of the deal would raise postsequester base discretionary spending caps by $80 billion over two years – by $50 billion in fiscal 2016 and $30 billion in fiscal 2017. With the increase split, the fiscal 2016 defense cap will rise to $548.1 billion while the nondefense cap will go up to $518.5 billion. The measure also provides an additional $32 billion in funding for Overseas Contingency Operations, split between the two years and also divided equally between defense and nondefense. The plan offsets the $79.4 billion cost of raising the discretionary caps – not including the war funding — through a combination of spending cuts, asset sales and revenue increases including extending the sequester of Medicare and other mandatory spending programs an additional year through 2025.

More than 320 arrested at California EDM festivals
Security increased after apparent August overdoses BY MATT HAMILTON TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
More than 320 people were arrested this weekend at two electronic music festivals in Pomona and San Bernardino, authorities said Sunday. On Saturday, the fi rst day of the Halloween-themed HARD Day of the Dead festival at the Pomona Fairplex, 148 people were arrested, according to the Pomona Police Department. Authorities in San Bernardino arrested about 180 people at the Escape: Psycho Circus, a two-day festival that began Friday at the National Orange Show Events Center. At the Pomona rave, which featured headliners such as Skrillex, Deadmau5 and Hot Chip, most were arrested for public intoxication, possession of illegal drugs or being under the influence of a controlled substance, police said in a statement. More than 50 people were arrested for having fake identification, police said. Arrest statistics for Sunday, the fi nal day of the event, were not available, and police said no major incidents were reported. The HARD Day of the Dead rave, which is hosted by Live Nation Entertainment, is under heightened scrutiny after two
young women died of apparent drug overdose after attending the Aug. 1 HARD Summer rave, also at the Pomona Fairplex. Several emergency room physicians have said that raves threaten public health, overwhelming hospitals and emergency rooms with young ravegoers, many suffering from seizures, comas or deaths from illicit drugs. After this summer’s deaths, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously convened a task force to examine rave safety. The fairgrounds are managed by a nonprofit and sit on county-owned land. The Beverly Hills-based Live Nation agreed to cancel a Sept. 10 electronic music event and added new measures for this weekend’s festival, including capping attendance to 40,000 a day instead of 65,000 per day and raising the minimum age to 21. The two women who died this summer were under 21. The festival drew 20,000 attendees on Saturday, and Sunday’s figures were not available, according to a spokeswoman, who said Live Nation did not expect the crowd to exceed 20,000. Other safety and security precautions for the event included dozens of medi-

The music festival paid for all the costs for police, fi re and medical personnel. Live Nation initially did not grant media credentials for this weekend’s event
but last week said it would offer credentials “to qualifying media,” according to a festival spokeswoman. Insomniac, a Live Nation subsidiary, put on the Escape: Psycho Circus rave in San Bernardino, which drew about 42,000 attendees on Friday and another 46,000 on Saturday, San Bernardino police Lt. Rich-
ard Lawhead said. That festival saw no major incidents, and most of the arrests were for illegal drug possession, trespassing or public intoxication, Lawhead said. Police had about a dozen “amnesty boxes” where concertgoers could deposit illegal drugs or weapons, with no questions asked.
“For the most part, all of the patrons were very, very cooperative, nice, respectful,” Lawhead told the Los Angeles Times. More than 100 San Bernardino police officers and county sheriff’s deputies worked at the event, along with 500 private security guards hired by Insomniac, he said.

EDITORIAL University undermines itself by overselling contributions
T
he Illinois state budget standoff has gone on long enough. Speaker Michael Madigan and Gov. Bruce Rauner’s game of chicken has careened out of control, affecting University faculty members’ insurance coverage, students’ Monetary Award Program grants and the credit ratings of several Illinois public colleges. In response to threats to cut the funding of Illinois public education, the University has cut their spending by $24 million, students have protested at the capitol building in Springfield and now the University has commissioned a study claiming that it annually contributes $13.9 billion to Illinois’ economy. While the University has a reason to prove its worth in light of the budget standoff, the true merits of the study remain questionable at best. Almost $9.5 billion of the $13.9 billion the University claims to contribute to the economy comes from “alumni contributions” — or the income University graduates who now work in Illinois have contributed to the state. It seems as though every day, we students are bombarded with study after study detailing how rarely students actually wind up in a field that uses the degree that they earned. While college degrees are required for many careers, it is illogical for the University to take credit for their alumni’s income as the effort far more likely lies with the alumni themselves. In essence, correlation does not equal causation. The University shouldn’t cast doubt upon the value of the education it provides by stretching the truth and trying to oversell their worth out of potential anxiety. Studies of this size are usually rather expensive. We are unsure if costs were involved in conducting the study, but we question if it was necessary expenditure–especially since the University’s budget is shrouded in such uncertainty. The University is impressive enough, and didn’t have to splash money on a study that likely won’t change Illinois legislators’ minds, oversells the University’s strengths and doesn’t benefit an Illinois company, as the study was completed by a company in Idaho. Putting pressure on the Illinois government is a valid tactic that the University should be doing, but an overstated study reveals how desperate the University is and undermines its true worth.
Media violence damaging for empathy COURTNEY BOYER Opinions columnist
As
I sit watching my new favorite show, “How to get Away with Murder,” I realize that a large majority of my favorite shows and movies are centered on some type of violence. And while I am aware that the show is violent, it doesn’t faze me in the way that it probably should. Violence is all over the media these days. All the popular shows on television seem to have violence incorporated into them. We also see violence on the news daily. It is so common to see that it is almost a core part of our pop culture. All this violence we are exposed to on a day-to-day basis is actually likely desensitizing us and making people less appalled with some of the gruesome things we should be fazed by. This can have damaging effects on our relationships and our overall well-being and happiness, as when we are desensitized, we become
less empathetic to the suffering of people in real life. Psychologists have found that individuals who are exposed to a large amount of violence in their childhood and early teen years are more likely to be aggressive as they grow older. The fact that we are becoming less attuned to and bothered by violence is worrisome, as it has the potential to cause problems in individuals as they grow older. We could be producing a generation of young adults who are less empathetic than past generations. This is seen by the fact that desensitization decreases the “helping behavior” in young adults. Young adults who have been desensitized by violence are seemingly numb when they encounter people who are in need of help and assistance. In fact, studies show they are more likely to not pay as much attention to violent events that occur in real life because they are so used to seeing them occur frequently in the media. Frequently, people are unaware that they could be becoming desensitized to violence or that these negative effects stemming from
absorbing large amounts of violent media are even possible. Desensitization can be hard to overcome and counteract, especially after an individual has been witnessing violence in the media for so long. This is important for college students to note because it could be affecting them in ways they are not consciously aware of. They could be more likely to lash out or less affected by the suffering of their peers and could be more likely to cause violence. As college students growing up exposed to this media violence, we need to be aware of this issue so we can hopefully prevent turning into a hard, selfish generation. Today’s culture promotes selfish behavior in a lot of ways that affect our lives in school, our relationships and our jobs. It is easy to get caught up in only doing things that benefit you. Compassion is lacking in a lot of areas within society, and if it continues to lessen, human beings could lose what is innately good about them: the desire to help others.
The violence that is so entertaining to us could be turning us into adults who are not as compassionate when it comes to the suffering of others. In this day and age, compassion is one of the main characteristics that young adults should possess. Young adults are responsible for the future culture and behavior of the next generation. We do not want this culture of violence to proceed or get even worse. It is important to become aware of the process of desensitization, and realize that it could be happening to you. This can help you realize it and be able to counteract the numbness we may inherently experience when faced with violence or suffering in the real world. Violence in the media will likely never be changed — it makes money and adds a lot to the entertainment factor of shows. However, what we can change is how aware we are of what the violence might be doing to us, and counteract it within ourselves as much as possible.

Chicago tax hikes make future job prospects shaky JASON SCHWARTZ Opinions columnist
F
or my fellow seniors on the job hunt, one popular destination just got a little less desirable. I am referring to Chicago, and it is getting less alluring because Mayor Rahm Emanuel has just approved a reform that will raise property taxes in the city a record $750 million over the next 5 years. Given that citizens of Chicago already pay the secondhighest property tax in the country, a lot of people are up in arms over the new reform. Chicago has once again set a precedent that its citizens will shoulder the burden of misspending by the government, and those who will be most affected are recentgraduates much like ourselves who are looking to rent apartments within the city limits. There are several reasons why this new reform will only hurt the city further as it tries to climb its way out of debt. The most important of which being that for the past couple decades, people have been abandoning Chicago for nearby suburbs or states. This problem will only
increase if new property taxes are enforced with more on the way. Making your city less fiscally attractive to live in is no way to solve a debt crisis that was created by careless spending in the first place. Government workers in Chicago have extraordinarily generous pension plans that allow most of those who work for the government to retire in their 50s. This is part of the careless spending that has gotten our city so far in debt that Chicago’s bonds have now officially been downgraded to junk bonds by Moody’s Investors Services. Not only will raising property taxes force citizens to consider moving out of the city, but this reform will also deter large corporations from settling in Chicago. All companies are concerned with their profit margins, and increasing property taxes is sure to drive out at least a few businesses. What this all comes down to is that while Emanuel is raising property taxes to generate more revenue, he will actually
be declining revenue for the city by decreasing its income from these citizens and corporations that will move out of Chicago if the cost of living raises past a certain point. So what will all of this additional revenue be put towards in the city? Healthcare? Education? Nope, it’s actually going towards more pensions. However, the pensions that the money will go towards are policemen and firemen who have extremely under-budgeted pensions at the moment. The problem is, even if the entire $750 million went to funding pensions for policemen and firemen, there still wouldn’t be enough to cover the deficit the government is currently in. Chicago is the third biggest city in the country, and the biggest hub for businesses that University students look to for jobs. Almost every major company that has a location in Chicago comes down for one of our career fairs. As a result, many students end up in Chicago after
Chicago has once again set precedent that its citizens will shoulder the burden of misspending by the government.
graduation. The problem here is twofold. As previously stated, companies may be less inclined to stay in Chicago due to higher operating costs for these businesses. This can directly influence employment rates at the University negatively, given that there will be fewer companies that recruit on-campus. Additionally, even if one does find a job, graduates will be forced to hand over much of their entry-level salary just for the right to live in Chicago. While certain measures must be taken in order to get out of the debt the city is currently facing, increasing property taxes is not the way to go about it. Especially when you consider all the other ways Chicago nickels-and-dimes its citizens, like having the most red-light cameras of any city in the country. Chicago must begin to look out more for its citizens, instead of taxing them to fix the government’s errors. Hopefully, University students looking to live in Chicago can all look forward to paying only the second-highest property taxes in the country after graduation.

‘Should’ve Said No’ to old lyrics
Christmas time is here
Taylor Swift is being sued for $42 million over her famous “Shake it Off” line “Haters gonna hate / Players gonna play,” which musician Jessie Braham says is straight from his song “Haters Gonna Hate.” No matter what, this is sure to cause some bad blood. Never in our wildest dreams did we think this would happen ... Maybe this is dramatic, but it seems like everything has changed — especially if this turns out true. I guess she’ll just have to shake it (these accusations) off.
Well folks, Halloween is over, and even though we’re just in the beginning days of November with Thanksgiving just a few weeks away, it’s clearly time to start gearing up for Christmas. Even Starbucks agrees! The coffee chain has brought back their signature red cups and yummy, wintery drinks, including the new Holiday Spice Flat White Latte . Despite the lack of snow, the first taste of Christmas spirit is officially here.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Courtyard Cafe Starbucks meets student needs
T
his letter is in response to the October 28 editorial, “Same drink, different noise,” addressing the addition of Starbucks to the Illini Union’s Courtyard Café. Starbucks was constructed in the Courtyard Café in order to meet student preference and demand based off of a comprehensive student survey conducted every year for the past three years. According to its results,
Starbucks was consistently the preferred coffee vendor students wanted to see at the Illini Union. The new layout in the east side of the Courtyard Café was built for organizational purposes and ease of access for ordering. As was an issue with our former coffee shop location, lines no longer block an exit or are congested and backed into the Courtyard Café stage. They now are single file to the east wall. The din-
ing area is a welcome addition for socializing, studying, and providing an open atmosphere. The Illini Union, including the Starbucks store, has not received any formal complaints about the new location from students or performers about noise levels or any other concerns. Student organizations and entertainers are informed about Starbucks operations when they schedule their event.
Starbucks also uses automated espresso machines, which actually significantly reduce the noise level compared to a typical coffeehouse. The Illini Union continues to listen to the student body and endeavors to meet expectations, and all recent changes in the Courtyard Café reflect this commitment.

with mature musicians or just even young musicians but that have an organic sensibility.” Hickey said it is hard to predict what it will be like to improvise jazz with the jazz-playing robot because she has not done it yet, but she said she is willing to try it. “Our intention is that, at the end of the project, a human jazz musician who plays with our system will perceive their interactions as musical communication,” Grosser wrote in an email. “That doesn’t mean it will sound just like a human, but the system should play within the genre commonly understood as jazz. However,
instead of emulating wellknown human musicians, the system should play with its own style and methods of communication.” McNeill said jazz musicians use technologies as tools all the time, and he sees Grosser’s computer system as another tool. “I don’t see it as another improviser necessarily,” he said. “It may be a tool that improvises and can recreate some aspects of improvisation, but it’s not a complete improviser because it’s impossible to be without it being another human being. Part of improvising means that you need to be human.”
she arrived in the U.S., because certain expressions and slang are different from those in Brazil. For instance, she said things that can be considered rude in the U.S. are not considered rude in Brazil. Adrianne Gimenez, vice president of public relations for ICDI and junior in Business, said that a lot of communication progress is made with members throughout the school year, and students become more confident in themselves when they know that mistakes are acceptable. This occurs through their discussions and workshops, such as their Oct. 22 workshop on cultural competency. “Our members, especially the international students, become more com-

A lot of them have this issue with language barriers,” Gimenez said. “But once (they) overcome the fear of saying something wrong they start to speak their mind and they are able to really contribute.” McLaughlin said it is so important to be exposed to diversity, and ICDI is a way to do it. “I think that the diversity at this university is one of the hugest resources that not a lot of other schools have,” she said. “Given how globalized our world is, we are all going to have to work with people from other countries. We can’t just (form) our own comfortable groups and it really is a skill to practice.”

When John Rhee, senior in LAS, walks into Pho Café & Thai Kitchen, he says there is a feeling of comfort and familiarity when ordering his food. “My favorite part about going to Pho Café is the welcoming atmosphere by the owner and staff,” Rhee said. “It is very rare nowadays to come across such kind people that genuinely care about the quality of their food and service. Sometimes I go into their establishment just to say hello and exchange words.” This sense of home and comfort is exactly what Seng and Souphaphone Soutchay, husband and wife and co-owners of Pho Café & Thai Kitchen, 611B E.

All that University professor developing a jazz-playing robot BY MARIAH SCHAEFER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Envision this: A jazz band plays on a stage in front of a live audience, and among the performers is a robot. The robot functions as another member of the group, being able to fully improvise jazz with the rest as they play naturally. Ben Grosser, an
assistant professor in the School of Art and Design, is trying to make this scene a reality. Grosser, along with Kelland Thomas and Clay Morrison at the University of Arizona and Colin Dawson at Oberlin College, is developing a computer system that will be able to listen to a musician play and improvise jazz on its own. “I’m interested in those areas of human cultural production that we believe are the sole province of humans,” Grosser wrote in an email. “What does it mean when a robot can paint
a painting or write a poem or play in a jazz band? Does it simply mean that humans have figured out a way to simulate human activity through computers, or do these systems develop agency for themselves?” Grosser and his team began working on the project this fall, and he said the jazz-playing robot should take five years to complete. He said the computer system will have four parts to it: a corpus of transcribed and encoded jazz solos, analyses of those solos using image schema, a knowledge engine
and a real time performance system. “Our team is interested in jazz improvisation as a model for human-computer communication because it is inherently prelinguistic,” Grosser explained. “Jazz musicians feel the music and react musically without necessarily stopping to consider what they’ve heard in a language-based sense. It is this reactive and embodied experience of communication through jazz that we see potential in.” Joan Hickey, lecturer of jazz studies and piano pedagogy
at the School of Music, said that playing in a group jazz setting is “one of the only situations where the group is improvising spontaneously in real time without any script or rehearsal.” “There’s a direction that you’re going, but we don’t know how we’re going to get there and what’s going to happen along the way,” Hickey said. “So there’s this conversation that’s going on between the musicians, and it affects what you play. The ultimate result is this collective product, and it’s very exhilarating.” She said what is
very fulfilling about being able to improvise jazz in that way is that it is “a physical, a social, a mental and an emotional experience on all those levels at the same time.” Chip McNeill, professor and chair of the jazz studies department in the School of Music, said “with jazz, the whole point is to be able to do improvisation.” “The one thing that really distinguishes jazz from a lot of other art forms is the fact that we really want to tap into the combination of the human

ICDI unites students around campus BY ABBY PAETH CONTRIBUTING WRITER
In the 2014 -2015 academic year, U.S. News listed the University as one of the top-20 public institutions with the highest international presence, with about 15 percent of students attending Illinois from countries other than the U.S. But for international students, adjusting to
American culture isn’t always easy. One organization is trying to make this transition smoother. For two years, the Intercultural Community Development Initiative, or ICDI, has been working to break down the barriers between international and domestic students at Illinois. According to the organization’s university profile, the ICDI provides “a safe environ-
ment for both groups to have meaningful, challenging discussions and develop skills crucial to being a global citizen.” Through discussion workshops and bonding activities, the ICDI encourages their members to branch out of their comfort zone and work to become more inclusive with other cultural groups on campus. “We realized that we have so many inter-

It takes skills and confidence to bridge gaps between different groups.” McLaughlin, the only
founding member of ICDI still attending the University, said that in the future she hopes all students can easily introduce themselves and interact with each other regardless of where they come from. “Most of our members are international students so the real challenge is showing domestic students why it matters to reach out,” McLaughlin said.

Illini can’t escape injuries following loss BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER
Sitting at Monday’s weekly press conference, even quarterback Wes Lunt did not know the latest Illini to be sidelined with an injury this season: running back Henry Enyenihi. When reporters told Lunt what head coach Bill Cubit had shared with media only minutes earlier, Lunt let some emotion and surprise show. “Dang it,” Lunt said. “So yeah, that’s kind of been our story.” Enyenihi, who sprained his knee in Illinois’ 39-0 loss to Penn State on Saturday, is the latest in a string of injuries for the offensive side of the Illini. Cubit announced last week that wide receivers Mike Dudek and Justin Hardee are out for the season with injuries. On the rushing front, r u n n i ng back Jo sh Ferg uson has be en sidelined with a shoulder injury he suffered in Week 5 against Nebraska.
Running backs Dre Brown and Reggie Corbin are both out for the season with injuries. With Enyenihi out, the pressure is on freshman running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn who rushed for 38 yards on 15 carries. In the Wisconsin game, he had 55 rushing yards on 13 carries. “I thought he played re a l ly wel l a ga i nst Wisconsin, and this game here he didn’t play as well,” Cubit said. “You just keep on adding more responsibility to him … you don’t know what goes on in the mind of a true freshman.” Cubit said Ferguson will practice this week and that the team will have a good idea whether he will play Wednesday. “The more teams play man-to-man, you need great athletes out there and that’s what Josh is.” Lunt said. “Just having him back from a mental standpoint and what he does out on the field would be huge.”
Bowling goals Illinois (4-4, Big Ten 1-3) is still looking to qualify for a bowl in its remaining four games. Entering the November portion of its schedule last season, the team was 4-5 overall and 1-4 in the Big Ten. “It’s defi nitely not as panic mood as it was a year ago,” offensive lineman Ted Karras said. “It’s going to come down to execution, and we can’t lay eggs like we did a year ago.” Karras said that walking into the press conference after losing to Purdue last year was much more grim than Monday’s presser after the Penn State loss. “We’re on a three-game losing streak,” Karras said. “That’s defi nitely going to wear you down a little, but what’s great about college football is were playing in five to six days. There’s no time to pout.”

A conversation with an Illini: Dee Brown KEVIN MCCARTHY Illini columnist
D
ee Brown is back. The braids and headband may be gone, but the former point guard’s heart has never left Champaign. No. 11 sat down to talk with me about the “magical” 2005 season, his dreams of wearing the orange blazer and playing horse. Kevin McCarthy: At what point during that 2004-05 season did it hit you that your team could make it to the national championship game? Dee Brown: To be honest with you, I haven’t told this story in months. We lost to Duke in the Sweet 16 my sophomore year. When we got back to Champaign, we said, “I don’t think people are going to be able to beat us next year.” KM: That season, when you would walk around campus, could you even get from one place to another without a crowd forming? DB: You could make a movie out of that year — there was so much support and so much love. It was tough to get around, but it was fun. KM: Talk about the atmosphere when you would walk into Assembly Hall that season. DB: Electric, man. It was loud, it was fun. I remember the Orange Krush used to spend the night outside days before the game. Every time I think about it, I just get chills because of the support and the people showing up so amped for the games. They were really our sixth man. KM: What was your favorite memory from that season? DB: It would have to be winning that Arizona game to go to the Final Four. That was big for us — that was our hope, our dream and our goal from the beginning of the year. It was also my grandma’s last time seeing me play; that was big for me. KM: What was it like knowing that it was your grandma’s last time getting to watch you play? DB: Oh man, it was awesome. She was one of my biggest fans. For it to happen in such a historic way, it was a great feeling. You can’t take that away from me for the rest of my life — getting to play in front of my grandma to make it to the Final Four. Coming back from down 15, with 3:57 to go, it was just magical. KM: What made you, Deron Williams and Luther Head so good together? DB: Sacrifice. We didn’t care who got the credit, we just enjoyed watching each other play. We enjoyed winning together. The
chemistry was special. It’s rare nowadays to see players completely sacrifice for the good of not only the whole team, but for another individual player. KM: Do you still keep in touch with those two? DB: For sure. They’re more than just teammates — they’re brothers. KM: What can your story — as a kid from Maywood who made it big — do to inspire a younger kid who wants to accomplish what you did? DB: Man, I come from nothing. I came from the bottom. You see somebody who grew up in a less fortunate area, having a dream and being a smaller guy — everybody was telling me what I could and couldn’t do. Now, I have things that they can’t take away from me — as far as hardware, degrees, all these accolades. You see a guy who dreamed to do those things as a young boy. He worked to achieve them. KM: Who did you look up to when you were growing up? DB: I have to say I looked up to my mom. You could watch Isiah Thomas, Allen Iverson — you can seem them on TV. It’s different than someone actually being there all the time for you. I saw my mom and how hard she worked, and I just used that work ethic that she instilled in me to get me to where I needed to go. The people in my neighborhood who didn’t quite turn out or be successful really motivated me too, they showed me what not to do. KM: Talk a little bit about being coached by Bruce Weber. What made him such a good coach? DB: He worked. He loved the game. His work ethic was crazy. That’s what brought us together. He’s a great coach. KM: John Groce — what do you like about his coaching style? DB: He’s a point guard coach. He’s really enthused and has great energy. Players love playing for him. KM: So far, he has failed to land a Dee Brown type of player. He hasn’t gotten that big player out of Chicago. What does he have to do to land that caliber of player? DB: I don’t know the answer to that. In Groce we trust, I really believe we’ve got the right guy. He has terrific work ethic and I think he’ll get the job done. KM: What’s your pitch to Chicago kids on why they should come play at the University of Illinois? DB: Stay in-state, represent your state school. It can’t get any better academically than Illinois, your parents can come from two hours down the road to watch you play, we have the No. 1 living alumni in the country, top-10

1. OHIO STATE (LAST WEEK: 1) — It wasn’t a quiet week for the Buckeyes during their bye week. Quarterback J.T. Barrett was arrested early Saturday morning for operating a vehicle while intoxicated near campus. Barrett will be suspended for one game and will return against Illinois on Nov. 14.
2. MICHIGAN STATE (2) — The Spartans have made a good case to be in the College Football Playoff’s Top Four. Quarterback Connor Cook ranks second in the Big Ten in passing average per game and in pass efficiency while Michigan State has the No. 4 total offense and No. 9 total defense in the conference. 3. IOWA (4) — Desmond King and the

I’ll make sure you reach your full potential. KM: That sounds like a good pitch to me. Can this program become a powerhouse again? DB: For sure. KM: How do you plan on helping in that process? DB: Anything I can do. I’m very good at selling this school. I’m going to do everything I can to spread that positive word and vibe that you can get by going to the University of Illinois. KM: What happened to the corn rows? DB: Man, you get to an age where you have to change it. I had the braids for a long time, but by the time I turned 29, I went another direction. KM: How do you think I would look with those? DB: (laughing) You’d look smooth. You’re alright. KM: Are there any basketball dreams you weren’t able to fulfill? DB: I would say winning an NCAA and NBA championship. I was five points away from winning in college and I went to the Western Conference Finals in the NBA. KM: You played in eight different countries. Just in general, what’s the difference between playing in the NBA and playing overseas? DB: In the NBA, it’s a lot of one-on-one basketball. Overseas, it’s really geared toward the team. It’s about sharing the basketball and taking the right shots. KM: How are you liking the new job? (as special assistant to the athletic director) DB: I like it. It fits my strengths. I’m very blessed and humbled to come back
to my school. KM: You’ve talked before about wanting to coach here. What are those dreams to you? DB: They’re real. If I don’t coach here, I’m going to coach somewhere. In the future, God leads me where I need to go. Everybody says I’ll be a great recruiter, but I’ve been a point guard, a second coach for nine years. KM: What would it mean to you to coach for Illinois? DB: Everything, it’s a dream. KM: Would you rock the orange blazer? DB: Of course. KM: Would you want to stay in Champaign for the rest of your life? DB: That’d be the ultimate dream. KM: Do you ever just step back, look at all you’ve accomplished in life and just take a second to say “wow.” DB: No. I’ve never been a complacent guy. I want to continuously achieve. I’ve got so many dreams. I just want to keep climbing and see how far that ladder goes. KM: Can you and I play “horse” at some point? You and me — over at the State Farm Center? DB: For sure. KM: I think you might take me down. DB: I’ve got some trick shots. I ain’t gonna hit you with the basics. KM: I gotta say something before I go. Growing up as a kid in Illinois, it’s been hard not asking you for your autograph. I’m not allowed to do it — but, I just want you to know that you’re the man. DB: Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Anything you ever need, holler at me.

4. MICHIGAN (3) — Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines were lucky to escape Minneapolis with a 29-26 win over Minnesota. Wilton Speight came off the bench and threw for 29 yards and a touchdown with under five minutes to play after start Jake Rudock injured his torso. 5. WISCONSIN (5) — Corey Clement ran for
115 yards and three touchdowns in his first game back from injury in the Badgers’ 48-10 win over Rutgers. Joel Stave threw for 217 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
6. PENN STATE (6) — Christian Hackenberg not only threw two touchdowns in the Nittany Lions’ 39-0 win over Illinois, he caught one in the rout. The junior threw for 266 yards and Saquon Barkley ran for 84 yards and one touchdown. 7. NORTHWESTERN (7) — The Wildcats sit at 6-2 and 2-2 in the Big Ten during their bye week. Northwestern is last in the conference in total offense but ranks sixth in the conference in total defense.
8. MINNESOTA (9) — A wild week for the Golden Gophers ended with a crazy finish against Michigan. Minnesota elected to go for the win instead of the tie in the final two seconds of the game and missed to lose 29-26 against the Wolverines in the first game since Jerry Kill resigned in the middle of the week. 9. ILLINOIS (8) — The Illini offense didn’t
make the trip to State College, Pennsylvania. Quarterback Wes Lunt threw for 129 yards on 37 attempts as Illinois was shut out for the first time since 2012 in its 39-0 loss to Penn State.
10. INDIANA(13) — The Hoosiers lead the state of Indiana’s part of the power rankings. Indiana won its first four games of the season but lost its next four, all conference games. Nate Sudfeld leads the league in passing average per game and pass efficiency. 11. PURDUE (14) — David Blough had himself a game against Nebraska, throwing four touchdowns and also running in one in the Boilermakers’ 55-45 win over the Cornhuskers. He threw for 274 yards and ran for 82 yards. 12. NEBRASKA (10) — Backup Ryker Fyfe
threw for 407 yards and four touchdowns as he tried to lead a fourth-quarter comeback, but his four interceptions were too many to overcome in the Cornhuskers’ 55-45 loss to Purdue. Jordan Westerkamp caught nine passes for 123 yards and a touchdown.
13. MARYLAND (11) — The Terrapins waited
too long to score their points as they scored all 15 in the fourth quarter in their 31-15 loss to Iowa. Perry Hills threw for 74 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions and ran for 104 yards.
14. RUTGERS (12) — The Scarlet Knights fell to worst in the Big Ten after their 48-10 loss to Wisconsin. Chris Laviano threw for 31 yards and an interception while Hayden Rettig threw for 51 yards.

Viliunas earns starting setter role Illinois volleyball looking to solidify tournament spot in remaining matches BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER
After being subbed in early in both of last week’s matches, senior Alexis Viliunas was given the starting setter role in Illinois volleyball’s two weekend wins. Viliunas recorded respective assist totals of 41 and 35 against Michigan State and Michigan. She also contributed 17 digs. Head coach Kevin Hambly said although Viliunas wasn’t setting the middles as well as freshman Jordyn Poulter was, the team’s energy is better with her on the court. He credited Viliunas’ eightyear connection with outside hitter Jocelynn Birks as a factor in the Illini’s steadier play. Viliunas and Birks went to Lyons Township High School together. Outside hitter Michelle Strizak added that the team’s veterans have grown accustomed to Vilunas’ passes and her style of play. Strizak and Birks led the team in total kills this weekend. “Alexis does a great job of contributing to a positive energy and a determination to win,” Strizak said. “A lot of us are really used to playing with her. We know how she works, and we feed off each other a lot.”
Bastianelli earns Big Ten defense and freshman honors
Middle blocker Ali Bastianelli had a breakout performance against Michigan State on Friday, recording a career high nine blocks and five kills. The freshman followed up Friday’s match with a five-block outing against the Wolverines on Saturday. Bastianelli was awarded
“We need to get a couple more sweeps to make sure we are in the tournament.” KEVIN HAMBLY
VOLLEYBALL HEAD COACH
the Big Ten’s Co-Defensive player and Freshman of the week honors for her play. It was the first time she earned both of the titles. Hambly said she and opposite hitter Naya Crittenden have developed a defensive rapport that will remain for years to come. Crittenden led Illinois with six blocks Saturday and her 13 kills were the secondmost on the team. “I think that’s going to be good for the next two years,” Hambly said. “They are both really physical. They are both really ath-
letic. (Crittenden) sets up a good block and (Bastianelli) is really starting to figure it out.”
Illinois looking to solidify tournament spot With the two weekend wins,the Illini moves into seventh place in the Big Ten standings, tied with the two teams Illinois beat over the weekend: Michigan State and Michigan. Of the Illini’s eight remaining matches in the regular season, five will be against opponents that either have a losing or the team has already defeated. Hambly said the team is in a must-win situation moving forward in the regular season, and it will be looking to capitalize on the momentum the team has built in the last two matches. “I think at home, you have to take care of work, and we haven’t been doing that,” Hambly said. “We need to get a couple more sweeps to make sure we are in the tournament. I think because of our RPI and if we can get a couple of more big wins, we might have a shot at hosting. It might be a long shot right now, but we are going to fight for it.”

Illini outshot in loss BY MATT GERTSMEIER STAFF WRITER
The Illini soccer team was well off its average of shot attempts in the first period off Sunday’s 3-1 loss to Penn State. Illinois (10-6-3) averages a little over six shots in the first half of games this season. In the opening 45 minutes Sunday, Illinois recorded one shot and it wasn’t on net. Penn State recorded 15 shots in that timeframe. The Illini are 1-4-1 when they are outshot in the first period. Head coach Janet Rayfield claims the windy conditions Sunday played a major factor in Illinois’ lack of shot attempts in the fist half. “The wind was pretty strong in that first half,” Rayfield said. “It made it really difficult for us to get out of our end. It allowed them to get members forward and really allowed them to keep us locked in.” Illinois outshot Penn State 8-4 in the second half and outscored the Nittany Lions 1-0. But Penn State had already done its damage in the first half, scoring all three of its goals. TYLER COURTNEY THE DAILY ILLINI

Hockey ranks 3rd in CSCHL BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER
During Friday’s game between Illinois and Illinois State, a player from both sides got disqualified from playing in Saturday’s game for fighting. Illinois’ Yoshi Shibata and Illinois State’s Luke Morin scrapped in the corner after a boarding call on Illinois State. Head coach Nick Fabbrini was not happy when Shibata got disqualified. “(Shibata) chipped the puck around the guy, and then (Morin) tackled him by the head,” Fabbrini said. “After Shibata stood up, (Illinois State goalie Joey Garapolo) came and crossed checked in the face. (Morin) punched (Shibata) in the face four times before he defended himself. After he defended himself, the ref decided that he deserved a disqualification for fighting. I thought it was ridiculous.” Morin also received a disqualification, but Garapolo did not. Fabbrini did not understand why Shibata got disqualified, but Garapolo did not, since Shibata did not retaliate until after Garapola got invoved. Even though he did not get disqualified, Garapolo did not play in Saturday’s game.
Illinois feels good about current standing
Illinois has split its last three weekend series, two of which were against conference opponents. Sitting at a conference record of 2-1-1 and an overall record 6-2-2, Illinois is tied with Iowa State for third in the CSCHL — each team has seven points. Lindenwood leads the conference with 11 points, and Ohio is in second with eight. Both Ohio and Lindenwood have played two more conference games than the rest of the conference, and Fabbrini said he is content with where the Illini sit. “I think we have had a good start to CSCHL play,” Fabbrini said. “We split with two good teams in Ohio and Robert Morris. But I know what we are not necessarily happy about is the fact that we are giving up points at home.” The conference champ would have bragging rights and an automatic bid to nationals. Fabbrini said the automatic bid does not matter because whatever team wins the CSCHL will probably get a top-five seed in the tournament. The last time the Illini won the CSCHL regular season title was in 2013.
Illinois loses several more players to injuries Illinois suffered several injuries this weekend against Illinois State,
which just stack on the others that the team has built up this season. The Illini have been playing without team captain John Olen, who broke his leg in the game against Alabama back on Oct. 3, and sophomore forward Mike Fisher, who has been out with a broken collarbone since the first weekend of the season. This weekend against Illinois State, both left wing James McGing and defenseman Joseph Ritondale did not play in Saturday’s game. Ritondale took a hit on Friday and tested positive for a concussion, and McGing hurt his finger and received an X-ray Tuesday morning. Fabbrini is waiting to receive the results from McGing. He did not know when Ritondale would be ready to return. McGing leads the team with 16 points. He has 14 assists on the season — nobody else on the team has more than five. On Saturday, right wing Kyle Varzino aggravated a lingering knee injury that he has had all season. Fabbrini said that he is hoping that it is nothing serious. Center Josh Belmont took a shot up high in Saturday’s game and will be reevaluated.

Illinois hopeful for NCAA Tournament
The Illini might have been eliminated from the Big Ten Tournament, but they will continue practicing in hopes that their season will continue on Nov. 13 — the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Sixty-four teams are
invited to the NCAA Tournament and there is a chance Illinois could be invited as an at-large bid. As of Nov. 2, Illinois was ranked No. 54 in the RPI. The RPI measures a team’s wins and losses and factors in strength of schedule. Rayfield is confident that her team’s resume is strong enough for an NCAA Tournament bid. “There’s so many things that will come into play,” Rayfield said. “We’re going to prepare as if we are in because that is certainly a possibility.” There are eight Big Ten teams ahead of Illinois in the RPI rankings. The Illini have played seven of the eight conference opponents ahead of them. Against those seven teams Illinois has a record of 3-2-2. “It was a quality Big Ten schedule,” Rayfield said. “So we are going to do our part to prepare as if that’s going to happen and we’ll see how things play out.”
Hidden stats
With the Illini eliminated from the Big Ten Tournament, some interesting stats have emerged. This has been a tough year for Illini forward Jannelle Flaws. Illinois’ career goal-scoring leader has been battling a foot injury throughout the season. Illinois’ record was 3-3-1 when Flaws played 90 minutes or more. In those games Flaws has a
total of two goals and two assists. When she played fewer than 90 minutes, she has scored nine goals and recorded four assists and Illinois is 7-3-2. The Illini only played games on Sundays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Including the Penn State loss, Illinois is 5-3-0 on Sundays. On Wednesdays, Illinois was 1-0-0, Thursdays 1-1-1, Fridays 3-1-2 and Saturdays 0-1-0. Based off of win percentage, Illinois top-three days were Wednesdays 1.000, Fridays .667 and Sundays .625. Illinois played all five of its freshmen this season. After a few injuries, the Illini looked upon the freshmen to step up. Of Illinois’ 19 games, four of the five freshmen appeared in 11 games. Three of the five appeared in 18 games. One freshman, Morgan Maroney, appeared in all 19 games and started 18 of them. Illinois’ record when two freshmen played 45 minutes or more was 4-41. Illinois’s record when three freshmen played 45 minutes or more was 2-1-2. Katie Murray, who scored two goals this season.

Over the weekend, the Illinois women’s wheelchair basketball team took part in its first tournament of the season. The Illini traveled to Toronto to participate in the Wheelchair Basketball Academy’s annual tournament. It was a three-team tournament that included the Illini, Canadian Academy team and the Canada Red Aces. Each team faced one another twice over the weekend. The Illini went 1-1 against each opponent. In game one Friday, the Illini defeated the Canadian Academy team 56-41. Senior Gail Gaeng led the way for Illinois, recording a triple-double by tallying 18 points, 10 assists and 13 rebounds. Gaeng also had a team-high and led the team in minutes with 40. Game two brought a similar result. The Illini squared up against the Canada Red Aces and pulled out its second
victory, 66-38. Gaeng had another strong game for the Illini, recording 25 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists again in 40 minutes. At one point in the game, the Illini held a 37-point lead. The Illini were defeated for the first time in their third game. Facing the Canadian Academy team for the second time, Illinois fell 66-51. The Illini were outrebounded 30-23 and didn’t score any points off of turnovers. In its final game of the weekend, Illinois lost its second straight game (67-54). Outside of two players — Gaeng and Megan Blunk — Illinois could not get the offense going. Gaeng and Blunk combined for 45 of the Illini’s 54 total points. Through four games this season, Gaeng has played 160 minutes, scored 85 points, grabbed 32 rebounds and finished with 31 assists.

Illinois rugby loses in last game of fall season BY CARLEY KULENKAMP STAFF WRITER
Injury, inexperience and defensive lapses were the story of the season for the Illinois men’s rugby team. The Illini faced Michigan on Saturday, marking the last game of their fall season. Illinois went into this game looking for a win to secure its spot at competing for fifth place come championship-tournament play. Michigan was also looking for a win as the Wolverines need to win the remainder of their games to ensure a spot in the championship game. The Illini hit the board first on a try by Matt Paolucci and conversion by Mario Lozano. Club president Rich Daniels said that scoring first is one of the team’s goals every game, and he was proud that they were able to do so. Michigan answered with a try of its own by Chening Duker and conversion by Andrytohy Rakotovololona. “We came out strong,” Lozano said. “I told the guys before the game that the first 10 minutes were going to be very important.” Rakotovololona put more points on the board for Michigan by scoring a try to put his team up 12-7. This would end up being the score to end the first half. “We had really stepped up and played the best half of rugby ever,” Daniels said. Starting the second half, the Illini came out of the gates quickly. Mitchell Ciszewski scored a try for Illinois within the first minute of the half, tying the game up 12-12. Michigan’s Zach Burns scored the first try of the half for the Wolverines shortly after Ciszewski’s try. Burns has just been named the D1A Player of the Week for his play against Iowa the previous week. The Wolverines’ offense was unstoppable for the last half of the second half, scoring four more tries with three conversions to defeat the Illini 52-12. “We came out strong in the second half,” Lozano said. “But once they started scoring it killed our momentum.” In the second half Illinois suffered many injuries. Matt Paolucci went out with a sprained elbow, Luis Corona left the game with
Michigan 52 vs Illinois 12 Summary: Despite a strong first half, injuries and defensive lapses in the second half caused Illini rugby to suffer another loss on the season. Key Player: Chening Duker (Michigan) scored 3 tries Quote of the game: “You could put it on conditioning or lack of experience, but it (the heart) needs to be there the full 80 minutes.” – Club president Rich Daniels
a hyperextended knee and freshmen fly-half Joey Lincoln was knocked out of the game with a sprained ankle. “After the injuries, we lost heart,” Daniels said. “We were feeling down and weren’t making crucial tackles.” The lack of motivation and focus is what Daniels said he contributes to the Wolverines’ excessive offensive scoring for the last 25 minutes of play. “You could put it on conditioning or lack of experience,” Daniels said. “But it (the heart) needs to be there the full 80 minutes.” Lozano agreed with his

Bottom: Richard Daniels gets lifted into the air by his teammates during a lineout in the game against Minnesota at the Complex Fields on Oct. 17. teammate, saying that if they had played the full 80 minutes how they played the first half, the game could have possibly had a different outcome. Lozano said he hopes that’s a lesson the younger players learned. However,
through everything the team has been through this season, such as injuries, he felt they had a great season. This upcoming week, the Illini are off and will wait to see how the remainder of the Big Ten teams fi nish
their seasons. Depending on how different teams fi nish, Illinois could be playing for fi fth or seventh place. Daniels said that with the team’s bonus points and record, it should be sitting at a solid No. 5. As of now, it looks as
if the Illini will get a second shot at Purdue, which would be a great redemption game to end the season, Lozano said.
