Dr. William Sullivan of the Department of Landscape Architecture gathers with fellow supporters of James Kilgore to speak with reporters outside the Henry Administration Building on Monday morning.
Kilgore supporters rally
BY FARAZ MIRZA STAFF WRITER
Supporters of James Kilgore rallied on Monday to urge the Board of Trustees to reconsider the former African Studies professor’s employment status at its upcoming meeting. Although the Board of Trustees will meet in Chicago on Thursday, there is no item on the agenda pertaining to Kilgore’s employment. William Sullivan, professor of architecture landscape and member of The Friends of Kilgore, addressed a small crowd outside the Henry Administration Building. “This has been a long story, hasn’t it?” Sullivan asked. “Let me put this in plain English: the committee found that no errors were made, no corners were cut, no policies were violated in hiring Dr. Kilgore over these past four years.” The Friends of James Kilgore was formed by tenured faculty members, following Kilgore’s unemployment, and advocates for his rehire. The group protests that the decision to reconsider his contract was made in response to political pressure and not based on his performance or academic contributions. “We appreciate the many thousands of people, on our campus and beyond, who have signed petitions, written email messages to the Board of Trustees, taken action and seeked to reinstate James Kilgore to the University,” Sullivan said.
Kilgore, former non-tenured lecturer and African Studies researcher, was told in April by Provost Ilesanmi Adesida that he would be no longer be employed by the University after his contract expired on Aug. 15. Though he was not given an explicit reason, this occurred after media attention was drawn to Kilgore’s past criminal record as a member of the radical Symbionese Liberation Army, known for the kidnapping of Hearst Media Company heiress Patty Hearst. He was involved in a 1975 bank robbery, in which one woman was killed, though he was not the gunman. Kilgore went into hiding following these crimes, until he was caught in Cape Town in 2002 and served six years in prison in the United States. Following the conclusion of his sentence, Kilgore joined his wife Teresa Barnes, teaching at the University until his dismissal inMay. In response to strong backlash from students and faculty, Adesida appointed a committee on May 13, chaired by Professor Matthew Wheeler of the Department of Animal Sciences, to investigate the hiring processes used to hire Kilgore. “The provost asked the committee to look closely at the policies for evaluating criminal background of future employment,” Sullivan said. According to the committee’s recommendation
released on Aug. 26, it did not support a permanent exclusion of employment for Kilgore. “The committee submits that barring Mr. Kilgore from employment while those policies and procedures are created would single him out unfairly and unnecessarily, given his creditable employment record with the University,” the recommendation stated. Sullivan read a brief selection from the committee’s report during the conference, which stated: “Specifically, we would endorse the professional judgments of units wishing to hire Mr. Kilgore during the Fall 2014 semester pursuant to the hiring practices currently in place.” Merle Bowen, director of the Center for African Studies, also voiced her support for Kilgore, stating that he is a tremendous asset to the University. “At the Center for African Studies, he wrote numerous successful grant proposals and played a leading role in developing our U.S. Department of Education Title 6 application, that was funded in the amount of $2.2 million,” Bowen said. “In addition, he played a key role in conceptualizing and developing our outreach and educational programs.” Dede Fairchild Ruggles, professor of landscape architecture, said the committee has also recommended that the University develop a criminal background check policy that requires
all new hires to be subjected to a criminal history review — a recommendation she considers problematic. “They are not a body of expertise in this issue ... the implication is that virtually everybody with a criminal record poses a potential threat to the University,” Ruggles said. “I want to remind us that we are talking about people who have already been put through a process of law, been judged, served their time. Who are we (to) retry them?” On behalf of The Friends of Kilgore, Sullivan called on the Board of Trustees to do four things: to follow the recommendations of the committee and reinstate Kilgore, to issue a public statement commending the committee for its review of the case, to refrain from further interference in the hiring decisions made by executive officers and to recognize the authority of campus administration to carry out their designated duties and responsibilities. Barnes concluded the conference by thanking her husband’s supporters and everyone in attendance. She went on to say that academic freedom and transparency is necessary to maintaining academic institutions. “We call on the Board of Trustees to absolve the matter of reinstating James Kilgore positively this week,” Barnes said.

versity of Illinois. He said he also hopes to see increased state funding for higher education. “It’s a real honor to be asked to be a part of a transition team for any elected official, but I’m particularly honored to be on governorelect Rauner’s team,” McMillan said.
He added that he will push for new programs to improve Illinois’ agriculture industry. Rauner said he prioritizes an increase in education funding using tax revenue, but does not support raising taxes to do so.

Rauner plans for higher education Rauner is scheduled to meet with Wise and McMillan BY JOSH WINTERS STAFF WRITER
Governor-elect Bruce Rauner tapped University Chancellor Phyllis Wise and Trustee Ed McMillan to be part of his transition committee on Thursday. “I am excited and honored that the University of Illinois will be among the voices representing higher education
and helping the new governor to ensure our state remains a national and global leader,” Wise said in an emailed statement. “I look forward to joining the other members of this transition effort and to the work we will do.” The transition committee is comprised of business, faith, community and political leaders who will help the new governor acclimate to his new office by identifying problems that Illinois is facing and working to devise solutions to these problems. McMillan also expressed enthusiasm for his appointment, and said that he plans to be an advocate of the Uni-

The Board of Trustees will meet for a daylong special meeting on Tuesday held in executive session at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare hotel to review candidates for the president of the University, as confirmed by Trustee Karen Hasara. Hasara said she does not know how many candidates the presidential search committee has placed on the list for the board to review, and it will be the first time the board looks at the names. Hasara said she believes the meeting Tuesday was put in place in preparation for Thursday’s Board of Trustees meeting, to give the board the possibility of voting on a candidate. “It would be wonderful if we could come out with the person we think is the best candidate, but if we can’t do that (Tuesday), we certainly don’t want to rush into anything,” she said. Thursday’s Board of Trustees meeting will be
held in Chicago. It was originally scheduled to be held in Springfield. The 19-person presidential search committee was formed in April. Since this summer, the committee has narrowed a list that originally started at 200 nominees. Previously, Douglas Beck, co-chair of the committee, said he predicted the committee would be able to forward a list of names to the board by Thanksgiving, but the schedule is still subject to the flexibility of the candidates. “I think it means hopefully we are right on schedule of where we want to be,” she said. “I’d say we all pretty much agree we want someone who can lead the University into the future and has strong academic and leadership abilities — someone (who) gets along well with people and the media.” Beck and Pam Strobel, co-chairs of the Presidential Search Committee could not be reached by press time.

Ebola 101 panel dispels myths
BY CAMILLE MURRAY STAFF WRITER
Several University departments held an Ebola 101 Panel Discussion on Monday to dispel misconceptions about the recent viral outbreak and to help inform the public about the University’s involvement with the affected areas. The event was held at the Siebel Center and organized by the University’s Center for Global Studies, Center for African Studies, Global Health Initiative and the University YMCA in response to the recent outbreak of the Ebola virus in West Africa, particularly in the countries of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. “We have a relationship with a university in Sierra Leone, and we had students and faculty who were in Sierra Leone over the summer and developed some relationships there,” said Jeremie Smith, outreach coordinator for International Programs and Studies. “When the Ebola outbreak began, there was an initial feeling that we should learn more about what’s going on so we can help.” The event was free and open to the public. “I think one of our objectives is just to provide an opportunity for accurate information,” said Gregory Damhorst, head of the University’s Global Health Ini-
tiative. “What the general public is hearing about Ebola is often either misguided or somehow politically exploited. A lot of the fear, I think, has come from that.” He added that the general public has heard all about the few people in the United States who have contracted the virus, but not as much about the thousands of people in West Africa who have been affected, both directly and indirectly by economic conditions and school closings. The discussion panel for Monday’s session of the event consisted of several University faculty members, including Gay Miller, professor of pathobiology; Brenda Wilson, professor of microbiology; and Robert Palinkas, director of McKinley Health Center. Mabinty Tarawallie, a University alumna from Sierra Leone, also spoke at the discussion. Tarawallie spoke about how the outbreak has negatively affected her home country in terms of education, travel and personal interactions. Because schools have been shut down, the government is using radio and television as a means of education, though not everyone has access to such technology, Tarawallie said. “Ebola is threatening to reverse years of educational progress in West Africa,

Chancellor gives State of the Campus DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Chancellor Phyllis Wise gave a State of the Campus address Monday to over 500 donors and alumni in Chicago. She plans to give the address at other locations around the state. The luncheon was held at the Palmer House at 11:30 a.m. and cost $50 to attend. It was also live-streamed on the University’s website. Ryan Baker, an alumnus who emceed the event, opened by announcing it had the highest attendance the event had ever seen. “I am delighted to be
here today,” Wise began her address. “It’s a wonderful time to be giving you the message of our successes as well as our plans for the future, our vision to be the preeminent research university with a land grant mission and global impact.” Wise addressed the alumni, crediting them as the source of success to the University during her last four years as chancellor. She elaborated on how the goals of the University’s strategic plan, unveiled last year concerning four areas: faculty, students,
research, discovery and scholarship; and the ability to use resources wisely, have translated into action with their help. As examples, Wise cited increased international and academic diversity on the campus, which is the highest it has ever been. She also cited the progress of the proposed College of Medicine at the Urbana-Champaign campus, which aims to create a hybrid degree for students to learn skills in engineering and medicine. “We are at a very excit-
ing time in the practice of medicine and that is that engineering and technology and the interface in between engineering and technology and medicine are getting so close that you’re not going to be able to tell the difference,” she said. “It means training a different kind of medical doctor, a different kind of person to be able to do this.” The proposed college is still seeking at least $135 million, which Wise hopes to raise through philanthropy. “Since we have such a great college of Engineer-
SENATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Committee discusses College of Medicine
Provost suggests future research collaboration, conferences with National Taiwan University
BY ABIGALE SVOBODA STAFF WRITER
The Senate Executive Committee met Monday to discuss future collaboration with the National Taiwan University and the proposed College of Medicine, while setting the agenda for the academic senate’s Nov. 17 meeting. Provost Ilesanmi Adesida informed the committee about his recent trip to the National Taiwan University, where he attended a workshop and talked with University leaders about future collaboration between the two universities. Adesida said any engagement depends on faculty, and he believes the University will hold a workshop here next year in an effort to build a solid relationship. He said the University needs to focus on worldwide collaboration with key peer institutions. “Which institutions, strategically, can we actually collaborate with?” Adesida asked rhetorically in an effort to get the senate thinking about future collaborations. The committee then discussed the University’s proposal for a College of Medicine, which will not be decided upon until March, after a new University president is announced. “I think it gives everybody time to put everything together and think about where it is that the whole direction of the University is going, and that’s why I think the president looking at this will actually be beneficial,” said Roy Campbell, SEC chair. “We can pace ourselves and get this stuff in the right time frame and absolutely nailed right.” The University’s Chicago campus already holds a medical program and proposed to use its current facilities for
an= engineering-based College of Medicine. The committee reviewed whether the Urbana and UIC’s proposals are competitive. It was clarified that UIC does not believe the University should have a College of Medicine, but will help when necessary to make it possible. UIC has also proposed creating colleges similar to the Institute of Genomic Biology and the Beckman Institute on Chicago’s campus. However, UIC’s proposal will have to pass through both campus’ senates. “From a process point of view, that has no standing. In terms of discussing a proposal, approving a proposal for the statutes,” Joyce Tolliver, SEC member, said. The committee discussed two items to appear on the academic senate agenda on Nov. 17. A new procedural document, Communication 26, will be introduced, regarding how specialized faculty members in nontenure positions can be promoted. University units without a teaching researcher on the tenure track will need to create promotional criteria. However, it is essentially the same process that has been on campus. Communication Nine, the existing procedural document for promotions, will not be amended immediately so departments can make the necessary transition and avoid delaying promotions that are already underway. Communication 27 will also be introduced, regarding shared governance for academic units. This communication is in its first draft and explains the best practices for shared governance between all faculty units, including sharing all communications with faculty.
Additionally, John Hart, information technology chair, proposed a transparent email system that would allow senate members to continue discussion in between meetings. He said the system would automatically send all emails sent through the senate list-serv to a public, online forum. Some senators were weary of the idea, raising questions about members entering meetings with pre-formed decisions, because of discussions taking place online. Supporters argued that no business could be transacted online. No motions passed, so everything would still be discussed during senate meetings and people will still be able to attend meetings and voice their opinions. Gay Miller, educational policy committee chair, advised her peers to ask themselves, “Does it really save time or make better decisions?” The new online forum is being reviewed by the University’s legal counsel. If a formal proposal is written and approved, senate members suggested running a pilot program, testing the system with the Senate Executive Committee first before making the service available to all senate members. Abbas Aminmansour, SEC member, informed the committee that a campus electronic communications policy was developed with the IT Security and Privacy committee and is ready to be presented to the Provost. It is a collection of relevant information from existing documents, that will provide one central place for users to learn about University communications policies.

“Our program positions graduates to quickly become leaders in their schools.”
McCarthey added that every student in the College must take at least two method classes in literacy studies, science or math, which gives the students an opportunity to explore different fields. “We also have a really strong field experience component where we start our students in actual classrooms early on in their program, and those are supervised by the graduate students and former teachers who give them feedback of their performance,” McCarthy said. Eurydice Bauer, associate professor in the College of Education, said many districts compete to hire graduates from the University because of the College’s reputation surrounding the strength of the program. “Our students are generally taught by faculty who are national leaders in math, literacy and bilingual education to name a few, and we strive to help students better connect theory to practice,” Bauer said. McCarthey said the University is working to recruit more students to the College. “We are going to hire a recruitment person, we have some prints materials that we’re developing around how and why to become a teacher, and we are highlighting the revision and changes in our new program,” McCarthey said. “We believe it will be really attractive to new students.”

Obama makes Asia appearance, applaudes new visa policy between US and China BEIJING — On his first day of a weeklong Asia trip, President Barack Obama was multitasking Monday: He sought to counter perceptions that he’s a weakened leader, tried to dispel claims that he seeks to “contain” China and yet obliquely criticized Beijing’s human rights record and trade policies. Obama, speaking at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, announced an agreement to make it easier for Chinese and U.S. citizens to travel between their coun-
tries. He praised President Xi Jinping for helping to broker the new visa policy, which he said would facilitate business, education and tourism on both sides of the Pacific. Yet he also noted several economic challenges the Pacific Rim faces, including widespread corruption and the discrimination women confront in starting businesses in male-dominated societies. While he didn’t mention China by name, some of his comments were clearly aimed toward APEC’s host country this year.
With the Internet facing stricter regulations, Obama supports Internet freedom WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has called on federal regulators to toughen proposed net-neutrality rules for Internet traffic, including taking the controversial step of changing the way the law treats broadband providers so they are subject to stricter utility-like regulation. In a two-page statement and a two-minute online video Monday, Obama came out in favor of the toughest possible regulation of Internet service providers on an issue that has flooded the Federal Com-
munications Commission with a record of about 4 million public comments. “Ever since the Internet was created, it’s been organized around basic principles of openness, fairness and freedom,” Obama said in the video posted on the White House website. “There are no gatekeepers deciding which sites you get to access. There are no toll roads on the information superhighway,” he said. “Abandoning these principals would threaten to end the Internet as we know it.”

E D I TO RIAL Vote to improve campus bike infrastructure
B
iking on campus provides students with the freedom to get to places around campus faster than waiting around for a bus or walking, and provides us with a sort of independence to get around rather quickly, especially for those of us who lack cars on campus. Better yet, biking is also a more sustainable practice as we reduce gas emission and traffic — an important factor for a school who values our green campus. However, as we indicated in one of our earlier editorials this semester, the bike infrastructure on campus is bombarded with a slew of issues such as lane inconvenience, lack of safety, poor path clarity and high pedestrian/biker traffic. For these reasons and more, we encourage students to vote in tomorrow’s school-wide referendum. The referendum will ask students whether they favor a $1 student-initiated fee to be spent toward bicycle-related projects, such as improving the bike lanes and paths. Projects also include creating educational materials on biking, helping fund the Campus Bicycle Shop, hiring a bicycle coordinator and expanding the bikerental program. Facilities and Services released an infrastructure plan last year, detailing $4 million worth of projects that could help biking on campus. The plan currently sits in limbo though, as no specific funds are allocated toward bicycle-related planning. The fee proposed on the referendum would generate roughly $80,000 a year, as students would pay $1 per semester. However, Grace Kyung, supporter of the fee and graduate student, hopes the passing of the fee will also show administration the immense support for biking on campus. With the continual lack of state-funding, updating bike lanes does not seem to be of great concern to the University. Most of the paths were created in the 1960s and 1970s and are in dire need of an update. Some paths were added later, but not all of them follow the same lane pattern, leading to lack of lane clarity. Additionally, the League of American Bicyclists deemed the University’s campus as a bronze-level bike friendly campus — something that could be changed to a silver or gold level with these improvements. While we understand that fees are a drag for everyone, only $2 a year will not crack the piggybank (hey, that’s less than half the cost of an eight-inch Jimmy John’s sandwich), and the money would go toward providing a safer and more accessible campus. Take advantage of one’s ability to vote and make sure to cast your opinion in the referendum by voting online on Wednesday and Thursday.
Taking our voting rights for granted SHIVAM SHARMA Opinions columnist
D
emocracy, which aspires to be an egalitarian utopia, seems to represent the most idealistic of political philosophies. It has been a cornerstone of the modern world, providing the foundations for a structured society in which economy and technology have flourished. But our imperfect reality has no space for perfect ideologies, and like any other ideology, the application of democratic principles and process to the real world has always been riddled with flaws and obstacles. What is undeniable, though, is the fact that, at every step, democratic ideology strives to put power in the hands of the common man. That power only exists if those eligible take advantage of it. The 2014 midterm election presented Americans with an opportunity to vest this power, with the ballot box as their tool. Despite this, the voter turnout was pitiful. In a country with over 146 million registered voters, only 36.5 percent cast a ballot. More striking is the fact that only 13 percent of those who turned up to vote belonged
to the 18- to 29-year-old age group. This isn’t much better than the 2010 midterm turnout, when the group made up only 12 percent of the voting public. The awfully low numbers of young voters, often chalked up to voter apathy, represent a very complex obstacle to the democratic process. The lack of young voter participation is crucially detrimental to democracy. As the most dynamic age group living in such a tumultuous time, 18- to 29-year-olds have unique problems that require fair representation. I’m not a U.S. citizen, therefore I cannot vote, but I wanted to understand the aforementioned voter apathy in this country for myself. In the weeks leading up to the midterm elections, I decided to ask friends and acquaintances whether they were going to vote and why. I spoke to about 15 people, and only two of them said they were going to vote. The reasons for not voting ranged from complete indifference to politics to people feeling that they didn’t know enough about the candidates to cast an informed vote. Others felt their vote wouldn’t make any tangible difference, or that they were powerless in the democratic process. The midterm elections, which determine governors, state representatives and local officials, are deeply important
to the community. They provide an opportunity through suffrage to affect change in one’s immediate surroundings, town, county and state. This exercise is at the very heart of democracy — in fact, it is what democracy is all about. The fact that young voters refrain from participating in this process is a serious failure of democracy at the grassroots level. Young people are at the forefront in every country of this rapidly changing world. They occupy today’s universities and workforce. They will shape the decisions of the future. Their voices in the governance of the country remain largely unheard when they should be echoing deep in the chambers of Congress. While I sympathize with the refusal to vote in face of uninspiring candidates and ineffectual political campaigns, I refuse to believe that the individual vote wields no power. Some young voters are convinced that his or her ballot affects little to no change, but they must realize that democracy is, and has always been, a cumulative process. A single ballot might appear to make no difference, but the power of suffrage is in the collective vote. Each individual ballot not cast lessens that power. Young people, who play an absolutely vital role in the technology, social, economic
and entrepreneurial sectors, have the ability and opportunity to vest their power in suffrage in order to get the government to cater to their needs and shape the development of the country in the mold of their vision for the future. They must act together, and they must also be patient because it will take a certain degree of time to see their vote make a tangible difference. For democracy to succeed, it takes time. It is the price democracy pays to meet its goals of equality and liberalism. Older democracies such as the United States and the United Kingdom have much more efficient and streamlined governance systems than younger democracies such as the ones in India or Turkey. But, still, voting today does not mean change tomorrow. But it does mean change, which many people, especially those in younger age groups with instant gratification lifestyles, seem to forget. To vote, then, is to put faith in an ideology that has served us quite well so far. Not to vote, as many young people chose to do, is to accept stagnancy and to surrender power put in the hands of the common man by the Constitution.

Girls will be girls CARLY CHARLES Opinions columnist
T
he Internet was abuzz last week with rumors suggesting Lena Dunham confessed to molesting her younger sister, Grace Dunham, when the two were children. In her recently published memoir, “Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She’s ‘Learned,’� Dunham revealed the ways in which she fed her young curiosity through touching her sister’s genitals and coercing her into engaging in intimate contact — for example, offering her younger sister “three pieces of candy if [she] could kiss her on the lips for five seconds.� Dunham goes so far as to admit that “anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl I was trying.� Anybody familiar with Dunham’s HBO series “Girls� knows that the comedian’s sense of humor is quirky, and at times dark and borderline inappropriate. Given this context, we can establish that in comparing herself jokingly to a sexual predator, Dunham didn’t really mean to suggest that she is literally comparable to a sexual predator.
However, there still exist problems with the aforementioned passages from Dunham’s memoir — both with regard to the passage’s context, as well as in Dunham’s defensive response to critics. I do believe that Dunham’s childhood “curiosity� crosses the fine line between healthy, childhood experimentation and premeditated, inappropriate actions. But, more than that, I believe the reactions to the passages — Dunham’s, as well as her critics — illustrate multiple gender double standards prevalent in our society. For her memoir’s controversial subject matter, Dunham received a large helping of criticism, from fans and otherwise. But she’s also been defended almost as many times over. The progressive, contemporary rhetoric that girls ought to more readily and outwardly embrace their sexual identities is such that it allows for an abundance of fine lines and gray areas, and, often, double standards. What is classically deemed as clear acceptable and unacceptable sexual behavior for males is often glossed over for females. Dunham and some of her defenders almost go so far as to praise her forceful exploration, because it shows that the female anatomy is neither a sacred flower that must be locked away nor one that needs male protection. It is accessible
and it is natural. According to author Alissa Quart, Dunham wrote something of “questionable taste� and it is simply “being misread.� Bloggers fronting the defensive line express their outrage that Dunham is being persecuted simply “for describing her experience.� It’s great that Dunham has found a medium through which to channel her experiences and subsequent revelations. It’s great that she reaches a receptive and progressive audience, willing to give Dunham the benefit of the doubt and entertain the notion that it’s beneficial and educational to have questions about our growing bodies. I would love to see the public’s response, however, to an eccentric and famous male humorously recounting the ways he, out of mere childhood “curiosity,� fondled and manipulated his younger sibling. I’ll be so bold as to say that it wouldn’t fly. We see evidence of this double standard everywhere. A male teacher “seduces� a much younger, female pupil and he is immediately charged. But should a female teacher happens to engage in intimacies with a much younger, male pupil, the pupil probably wanted it, or encouraged the teacher’s advances. Somehow, there always seem to be more gray areas to investigate when
the prosecuted individual is female. Those who defend Dunham argue that the inclusion of this “curiosity� in her memoir depicts not molestation, but, rather, the innocent, childhood exploration of a precocious and curious child. Fine. Why, then, does she still perceive such behavior as inherently innocent and not at all questionable? The memoir’s subtitle implies that the work will contain snapshots of what Dunham has “learned.� Clearly, we must regard the titular quotation marks around “learned� with great seriousness. I am of the viewpoint that Dunham might have had a misguided and questionable childhood. I am strongly of the viewpoint that Dunham should perhaps find a better editor, one more suited for giving the talented young woman practical, reasonable advice regarding things probably best left unmentioned in one’s memoir endeavors. But regardless of where my opinion rests, I believe the controversy that Dunham’s memoir has inspired serves as an apt and important illustration of the ways gendered double standards plague our contemporary world.

Thanksgiving basket drive seeks donations
OVP aims to collect 250 baskets to help families BY MADDIE GALASSI CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Office of Volunteer Programs is joining together with the University community to make a difference in the lives of local families with Thanksgiving rapidly approaching. From Nov. 3 to Nov. 17, the OVP is hosting a Thanksgiving basket drive in an effort to collect 250 baskets of food for families in need. The baskets will then be given to and distributed by Stone Creek Church in Urbana. The baskets are full of nonperishable items that would aid a family in preparing a Thanksgiving meal, along with a $25 gift card for perishable items. This year, all of the baskets will be donated to families in the ChampaignUrbana area. “The people can sign up at six registration sights, and they actually have to show an ID to prove that they live here,” said Allison Collins, OVP event organizer and sophomore in DGS. “After that, they get a ticket and on a certain date they go pick up their meals.” Charlene Gandiya, an intern staff member at Stone Creek Church who is in charge of the drive this year, also explained that it is on a fi rst-come, fi rstserve basis. “Individuals usually submit individual items, but we encourage donating whole baskets,” said John Race, program advisor for
the OVP. This is one of the many drives that the OVP provides throughout the school year. For this event, they are hoping for more student participation than the office has seen in the past. “We met our goal for Cans Across the Quad, but it was off in the sense that we didn’t get as much student participation as we were hoping,” said Alicia Robinson, graduate assistant at the OVP. “We had a lot of offices that would participate. Our goals for the remainder of the year are to target students across campus. So far, we’ve had one student organization that was really excited about making a donation. They can donate one or multiple baskets. It’s really exciting that it was a student organization, because that was one of our targets — to make sure that students are able to participate and engage in the community.” This is the eighth year both the OVP and Stone Creek have hosted the drive. While the OVP has contributed 200 to 300 baskets each year, according to Race, Stone Creek collects a total of 1000, which they refer to as their “big give.” “It started with one of our staff members. She had a heart for people and wanted to provide Thanksgiving dinner for them because almost everyone celebrates it no matter what religion they are,” Gandiya said. Gandiya explained that
Each laundry basket must contain:
1 large can of green beans 1 can of mushroom soup 1 can of french fried onions 1 large can of yams 1 bag of marshmallows 1 bag of brown sugar 1 can of corn or greens 1 can of cranberries 1 box of stuffing 1 box of mashed potatoes 1 large can or box of gravy 1 disposable roasting pan for turkey Disposable utensils $25 gift card to be used for perishable items the church has a partnership with Meijer grocery store to complete the rest of the baskets. In order for a group to donate, a team leader must be decided on to coordinate with OVP and select how many baskets will be donated. Then, a group must be registered at www. go.illinois.edu/basket, and the items must be gathered in a laundry basket and dropped off by Monday in room 288 at the Illini Union. Individual items and donations are also accepted.

US to propose safety provisions for turtles
Four species to be protected from overseas trade BY CHRIS ADAMS TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
WASHINGTON — The U.S. government is proposing a new level of protection for certain freshwater turtles, concerned that a massive increase in overseas demand for the reptiles could hurt their long-term prospects. The proposal from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service involves four species: the Florida softshell, the smooth softshell, the spiny softshell and the common snapping turtle. While none of the four species is at risk of extinction, federal officials and biologists say that a booming international trade in turtles had prompted concerns about the animals’ long-term survival. And existing laws, which vary from state to state, have not been completely successful in preventing the unauthorized collection and trade of the turtles, officials said. “These turtles are suffering declines in large part because they are being collected in the wild and shipped overseas for food or pets or medicine,” said Collette Adkins Giese, an attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit conservation group that petitioned federal officials for the protective status. “Turtles are slow to mature, and their populations depend on having large adults. That’s what the turtle trappers are catching.” According to Adkins Giese, turtle shells are used in traditional Chinese medicine, which ascribes great power to the turtle to purify the blood, cure diseases and bestow longevity or virility.
In its official proposal to list the turtles, the Fish and Wildlife Service documented a massive increase in softshell turtle exports over the past few years. Among the Florida softshell, exports of live turtles were up 71 percent from 2009 to 2011, the most recent year included; a total of 367,629 live Florida softshell turtles were exported that year. Common snapping turtles saw exports jump 24 percent — to 811,717 — over the same period. Exports of spiny softshell turtles, as well as snapping turtle meat, were also up. Those numbers come from U.S. export records and are likely low, given that the Florida and other softshell turtles aren’t now listed, and so exporters aren’t legally required to declare turtle shipments by species. It’s also unclear how much of the trade is of turtles caught in the wild or of those raised on turtle farms, as many in Florida are. “We don’t know how much is farm stock versus wild,” said Clifton Horton, a biologist with the Fish and Wildlife Service. “This listing may help us get this information as well.” And there’s no question smugglers are doing whatever it takes to get the turtles outside the United States. Federal officials have been involved in cases in recent months where traders attempted to spirit out protected turtles — including a man in Detroit in August who federal officials said was caught with 51 turtles stuffed inside his pants as he entered Canada. Those weren’t Florida or
other softshell turtles. The Florida softshell turtle is found in all parts of the state, as well as in South Carolina, Georgia and southern Alabama. The harvest of them in Florida primarily comes from the southern part of the state and goes on year-round. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the capture of live freshwater turtles is tightly controlled, with a limit of one turtle per person per day from the wild for noncommercial use. The action by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service involves listing the turtles in a special appendix to an international treaty aimed at protecting species from the negative effects of overharvest for international trade. The listing includes animals that officials say are in need of international trade controls; U.S. officials want to list the four turtles to better monitor existing trade and ensure that it is legal. Once an animal is listed, any international trade — live species, parts, products — will require a special permit signifying the animal was caught properly, according to state laws, and that it is being shipped humanely. Shipments of a listed animal will receive greater scrutiny than ones of a non-listed animal. The permit process also will give federal officials insight into how many wild turtles are actually leaving the United States — information that could help officials manage the species’ long-term survival. The proposal is open to public comments before it is fi nalized.

THE JOURNEY UP THE LADDER How a complicated educational journey led one woman to Illinois
B
everly Smith’s outof-office email signature includes the quote: “Education is the ladder, my children take that ladder.â€? The quote is from Chief Manuelito, a principal war chief of the DinĂŠ tribe in the 1800s, citing the Navajo Treaty. Smith, assistant director of the Native American House since September 2011, was brought up on this conviction and has carried it with her since. Though her beliefs have weaved their way into her life in unexpected places, she still carries this quote along with the idea of “Walking in beauty, walking in balance,â€? a phrase that resonates with meaning and history to the Navajo philosophy. “Those were the overarching themes of my childhood. ... Those two principles related to my identity and being resilient and being self-sufficient,â€? Smith said. “It means living happy, living healthy and being balanced.â€? Smith hosted an event on Monday entitled “Through the Eyes of My Ancestors: One Woman’s Navajo Narrativeâ€? at the Women’s Resource Center. Her discussion took students and faculty into her experience finding herself, including how she learned about her identity and where she comes from. “Knowing where you come from and who you are, you’re able to have that resilience in any kind of environment,â€? she said. Smith is a member of the DinĂŠ tribe, a word that translates as “the peopleâ€? in Navajo. The Navajo are one of the biggest tribal groups in America and they have reservations located in parts of Colorado, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. “My experience as a native woman is very dif-

I don’t think there is any one box you can fit us in. Speaking about herself demonstrated to (Smith’s) audience that there is no one way to be native, especially in this day and age.� Smith was born in a border town in Arizona near the Navajo Indian reservation. A few years after her birth, her family decided to move back to the reservation and throughout grade school and middle school she went between an Indian boarding school and a public school. In high school, she also attended an Indian residential boarding school and a public school at the same time. Because of this, Smith has spent a lot of her life both on and off the reservation. “I’m grounded wherever I am otherwise, but it is just more peaceful there (on the reservation). I don’t have any distractions of Internet or text messages or phone calls,� she said. “Things are simple there, I am more relaxed there.� Smith attended a tribal college and university to earn her undergraduate degree in American Indian Studies. If individuals can meet the criteria outlined by their tribe, they may be able to get a scholarship for college. “We are the only race in the United States that have to defend our identity as an American Indian by being tribally enrolled; proof to show we exist, proof to our rights. There’s over 567 different tribes represented in the U.S. that does not include state recognized tribes and that doesn’t include American Indians who are not enrolled and indigenous people throughout the world,�

Native American House assistant director, Beverly Smith, talks about Native American relations and populations at the Women's Resource Center. Smith said. The criteria and the process varies from tribe to tribe, but for the Navajo Tribal Scholarship, an individual has to be enrolled with the Navajo tribe, has to have graduated from high school and has to have taken a Navajo history or language class in high school to earn a certification, as well as be enrolled in a four-year degree program. “In your classroom everyone would know each other’s tribes,� Smith said of her time in college. “It was a life-changing experience because I was able to get to know a lot of different tribes and learn about them and meet them. ... I have lifetime friends from that.� After college, Smith worked at a museum to experience how native culture is managed in museums. She also worked at AmeriCorps for two years and interacted with stu-
dents from kindergarten through the graduate level. Her work ranged from after school programs for urban American Indian children to American Indian art programs. She then went on to receive a master’s degree in Education Counseling with an emphasis in Student Affairs. After leaving her hometown in Arizona to pursue her doctoral degree at the University in the College of Education’s Policy, Organization, and Leadership higher education program, Smith said she found her way in a new environment with the support of her family and with the community that the Native American House fosters here on campus. “It’s an open door policy (at the Native American House) ... You can ask us anything you want,� Smith said. The Native American
House is hosting events throughout the month to educate students about Native American Heritage Month and to help students deal with identity issues that they may encounter on a predominately white campus. Some students come to the Native American House because they don’t know anything about where they come from, Smith said. Smith and the Native American House then can help students get in touch with the resources they may need to learn more about where they come from. In Smith’s lecture on Monday, she reflected on how she became educated about where she comes from.

Lunt back in starting lineup post-injury BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER
Wes Lunt will return for the Illini this Saturday. The starting quarterback has missed four of the last five games since fracturing his fibula. Illinois coach Tim Beckman said the sophomore will start Saturday against Iowa. “I feel good,� Lunt said. “The bone, they said it’s fourto-six weeks, but it’s healed enough to withstand hits.� At the time of the injury, Lunt was ranked 10th in the nation in completions per game (25.4) and 14th in passing yards per game (313.8). Lunt said he’s looking to get into a similar rhythm Saturday and gain back confidence. “Getting timing back is going to be the biggest thing,� Lunt said. “Not being able to play was tough.� Although the injury wasn’t announced until early October, Lunt said he thinks the injury happened during Illinois’ 44-19 loss to Washington on Sept. 13. “After that game, I felt some pain in my leg and I thought it was a Charley horse, so I never got an X-ray,� Lunt said. “It just kept getting worse and worse through Texas State and Purdue, and just through practice and getting hit, it just got worse.�

The Illini have also been dealing with injuries on the offensive line. Right guard Ted Karras tore his ACL and MCL during Illinois’ 55-14 loss at Ohio State last week. The junior had started every game at right guard this season. Beckman said left tackle Simon Cvijanovic will start against Iowa. The senior left late in the game against Ohio State. As a unit, the offensive line has allowed more than three sacks per game, which is tied for 111th in the nation. With an injury-prone quarterback returning, Illinois is desperately looking for better protection on the line. “If that means keeping
The NCAA college basketball season runs for roughly five months, from November through March. College basketball coaches spend that time of year under a microscope and bright lights as their teams play dozens of games per season on national TV. But every year, March eventually ends, and the lights dim until the following November. For coaches, the end of the season is merely a shift in priorities, and it doesn’t mean it’s time to relax. For Illinois head coach John Groce and his staff, a long summer of recruiting awaits. It’s through the recruitment of high school talent that Groce builds the future of his program. The month of July marks

the beginning of a feeding frenzy for college coaches, as AAU tournaments are played all across the country. As September comes around and fall approaches, coaches must orchestrate visits with recruits, both on campus and in players’ homes. During this time of year, Groce and his staff take on a lifestyle that calls for most of their time to be spent in private planes, hotels and basketball gyms. Illinois recruits with the big boys, as Groce and his staff have pursued some of the best players in the country in hopes that they will commit to the Illini. To do this, they must cast a wide net geographically in order to get in front of the best recruits. The top AAU tournaments are played in cities like Las Vegas, Atlanta and Chicago. In the past year
alone, some of Illinois’ top targets have lived in Dallas, Cleveland and just outside Toronto. Groce has implemented a strategy of relationship-building with his targets, which requires a large amount of face-to-face time with them. In order to grab players’ attention, Groce and his staff must hit the road hard. He has three assistant coaches at his disposal — Jamall Walker, Paris Parham and Dustin Ford — who help him recruit on the road. All four of them criss-cross the country while recruiting, trying to form bonds with players, their families, their mentors and whoever else may be involved. So far, it’s been that effort that’s helped the Illinois staff get its foot in the door with some of the nation’s top talent. “That’s how you build a relationship with a kid: trust,� Ford said. “And how do you get trust? By putting forth effort, communicating, seeing someone (play)
and working hard. People respect that.� Sometimes building that kind of trust requires Groce and his staff to go to incredible lengths to impress a recruit. Carlton Bragg, a forward from Cleveland, is one of the best high school players in the country in the class of 2015. Groce and his staff first noticed Bragg when coaching at Ohio, and have been involved in his recruitment from the beginning. According to Bragg’s mentor, Michael Graves, at least one Illinois basketball coach has been at every single AAU game of Bragg’s in the last two years, a feat that has helped the Illini remain in the hunt for Bragg’s services. Seeing as most top-flight AAU teams play 50 games a year all across the country, the staff must sacrifice much of its personal time in the summer to accommodate the schedules of top recruits.

Sophomore runner a promising talent BY ALEX WALLNER STAFF WRITER
Growing up in Arlington Heights, Illinois, Hanna Winter was never much of a runner. She did other things. One of those things was read, which she still does today. “Reading helps me take my mind off things such as sports and school,� Winter said. “(It) provides me with a good balance.� Winter was also an active swimmer and soccer player. “She was always very
active and a standout on her teams,� said Mark Winter, Hanna’s father. “We discovered her running talent in fifth grade when she ran for her small, Catholic elementary school and dominated the races.� Each sport helped Winter in different ways. “Soccer and swimming were a good test of my endurance and I wanted to see how that would translate into running,� Hanna said.

Check Illinois men’s crosscountry results from the last three years, and one name is consistently at the top: Jannis Toepfer. This season is his last for the Illini and then the 25-year-old graduate student will finally end his collegiate running career. But if not for one family’s open arms, and one coach’s open mind, Toepfer may have never ended up at Illinois. He grew up in Bochum, Germany, and his athletic ability emerged at an early age. His elementary school held a field day every year, but because he won every event, Toepfer was excluded from the competition. In 1995, 5-year-old Toepfer and his parents moved from Germany to Japan, due to his father’s job. While there, Toepfer was exposed to a new culture, and a found new passion: traveling. In 1998, Toepfer and his family moved back to Germany, where he began getting involved more competitively with athletics. The first sport he fell in love with was basketball. Toepfer played for VFL Bochum BG, a local club, but the coach of the regional selection team was also the coach of a rival. Toepfer believes that because of his loyalty to VFL Bochum BG he received less calls to play for the regional selection team. “At some point I didn’t get invited anymore,� Toepfer said. “I’m 16, I just want to have fun, what the

f--- this about?� A frustrated Toepfer turned his attention to running at TV Wattenscheid O1, a local track club. Along with a growing interest in running, Toepfer rekindled his taste for travel, especially to the United States. After his freshman year of high school, Toepfer created an application through the American Field Service, sent it in and was assigned to a family. “It was a total coincidence,� he said. “I could have also ended up (anywhere), a friend of mine was in Alaska, another was somewhere in Texas, you know all over the place.� But Toepfer was headed to St. Louis, Missouri. *** Judy Taylor remembers the first day Toepfer came into her family’s lives. Her daughter Aliyah was a member of the interna-
tional club at Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School. The club was looking for a host family and Aliyah thought it would be a great way for her family to learn about a new culture and to teach an exchange student about American culture. Judy and Aliyah were the only representatives of the Taylor family there to meet Jannis at the airport. “It was really kind of strange and awkward because we’re not the outgoing ones of the family,� Judy said. Despite an initial awkwardness, the Taylor family quickly became comfortable with Toepfer. In a matter of months, he became family. “He really became a member of the extended family as well,� Judy said. “He would take part in all the family events, he would go and visit the elderly aunts. He’s a unique person because he
puts everything into everything he does — he does nothing halfway.� His year living with the Taylors and attending MICDS was a new experience for Toepfer. Just like in Germany, Toepfer tried basketball and was on the team at MICDS, but for a reason Toepfer doesn’t understand to this day, he never played. “I don’t know if it had something to do with me being an exchange student or whatever so that was also part of the reason why I decided to stop (playing) basketball,� Toepfer said. Toepfer began gravitating towards running. “Running is about who is the best runner,� Toepfer said. “There’s nothing you can argue with, whereas basketball the coach has the ultimate authority. He can play whoever he wants.�

Nunn expected to return for season opener BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER
Kendrick Nunn is expected to play this weekend for the Illini. Head coach John Groce said the sophomore guard will be back for Illinois’ season opener against Georgia Southern on Friday night. “Doctors have done a phenomenal job,” Groce said after Illinois’ 91-62 exhibition win over Quincy this weekend. “They’ve done a good job with keeping his conditioning up, which is hard to do. He obviously still has to get game-type conditioning, but we anticipate him being full-go next week.” Nunn averaged 6.2 points per game in 35 games as a freshman for the Illini. Groce said adding the 2013-14 Big Ten All-Freshman selection to the mix will make the offense even more balanced. The Illini put up 91 points with four players scoring double digits in their exhibition game against Quincy.

(From there) I had to drive back up to Chicago (then) drive back out to Waukegan (to watch a game),” Parham said of what a busy day on the recruiting trail entails. Walker and Ford told similar tales of days spent in airports, rental cars and red-eye fl ights, all while attempting to make it back to Champaign for afternoon practice with the actual team. While the assistants are more likely to drive and take commercial fl ights, Groce has a private plane at his disposal, gassed up and ready to fly on short notice. “We’re very blessed at Illinois,” Groce said. “The resources we have at Illinois are off the charts. The fact that I’m able to take a plane helps to get from spot to spot.” Those resources allow Groce to bounce from city to city, always boomerang-

WINTER According to Mark, Hanna was never all that interested in races, but realized she had a unique talent. She ran at small Saint Viator high school, earning IHSA All-State three times, and qualifying for the state tournament four times in cross-country and three times in track. Her high school success led to a career with Illinois, where she found running a lot different, but rewarding in a new way. “Running for the University of Illinois has given her a new outlook because she runs with so many talented girls and they’re all friends,” Mark said. “Her teammates are now her family.” Hanna was also one of two freshmen on the team to compete at the NCAA Midwest Regional, fi nishing fourth for Illinois. She also fi nished fourth for the team at the Big Ten championships and at the Pre-National Invitational, and fi nished fi fth for the Illini at the Boilermaker Invitational. After her decorated high school career, Hanna wasn’t used to fi nishing in the middle of the pack. “At times, running for the small schools was challenging, because her talent surpassed many of the other athletes and the expectations of her success were high,” Mark said. Pressure was also a diffi culty for her in high school,

Black received a standing ovation from the crowd at State Farm Center, impressing both Illini fans and teammates. “He’s fun to watch,” senior center Nnanna Egwu said. “He still has a lot to learn, so it’s kind of scary to see when he finally really learns all that’s going on how great he’s going to be.” Black’s block came in transition and on the heels of an Egwu block just moments before, igniting the Champaign crowd. “It feels good that the fans already love me,” Black said. “I feel like they’re going to continue to start to like me, the more they see me play.”

1. OHIO STATE (LAST WEEK: 2) Buckeyes quarterback J.T. Barrett threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns in his team’s 49-37 win over Michigan State, leaving the question: What will Ohio State do with its starting quarterback position next year?
2. MICHIGAN STATE (1) The Spartans’ defense fell apart Saturday, allowing Ohio State 568 yards of total offense. 3. WISCONSIN (3) Running back Melvin Gordon had 205 yards on the ground in the Badgers’ 34-16 win over Purdue. 4. NEBRASKA (4) The Cornhuskers are averaging 280.7 rushing yards per game through nine games this season. 5. MARYLAND (6) The Terrapins’ strength comes in its special teams, leading the Big Ten with perfect accuracy on 14 field goals this season.
BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Kendrick Nunn will return to the lineup this Friday when the Illini tip off the season against Georgia Southern. The sophomore guard missed the team’s lone exhibition game last Friday.
6. MINNESOTA (9) The Golden Gophers’ rushing game flourished Saturday, with nine players combining for 291 yards on the ground against Iowa. 7. IOWA (5) The Hawkeyes defense allowed nearly 300 rushing yards to Minnesota in a 51-14 loss Saturday. 8. MICHIGAN (10)
Black’s defensive presence will be needed alongside Egwu. Illinois had trouble defensively against Quincy in the teams’ exhibition game Friday, allowing 61 points to the Division II school. “It’s kind of frustrating giving up 40 points in the second half,” Egwu said. “That’s not what we do.” Despite Black and Egwu
grabbing a combined 21 rebounds for Illinois, the team only out-rebounded Quincy by one (38-37). Groce also wasn’t happy with his team’s defensive performance. “I don’t think we defended very well,” Groce said. “We didn’t go to the basketball very well, we got in rotations too much, they got us on the glass.” But now, heading into the
team’s regular season opener Friday against Georgia Southern, Groce knows what needs fixing this week in practice. “Offensively, we’re going to be fine,” Groce said. “But we’ve got to be better defensively.”
ing back to Champaign in time for practice. “You know, he’s the head coach, (the current players) need to see his face a lot,” Parham said. “He needs to be here for practice, he needs to be here to watch film. Having that plane for him is bigtime. He’s here no matter what.” During the heat of recruiting season, Groce and his staff will meet once a week, when they schedule their practices, travel arrangements and visits with recruits. For them, the key words are balance and communication. In order to balance their schedules while managing the recruits on their radar, Groce and his staff keep clear lines of communication open every single day. “It starts with John at the top,” Walker said. “He has us prepared to do what we need to do. It’s communication amongst all of us. It’s like we say, we’re one big family, so you’ve got to communicate what you’re trying to do. And everybody’s on the same page with what we’re trying to do on the court and in recruiting.” The nature of recruiting takes its toll on each of the coaches, wearing them down occasionally. One of the biggest strains is put upon the coaches’ families. Groce, Walker, Ford and Parham all have wives and children. Though the regular season requires travel for games, it’s the sum-
mer that they are away from home most. Their time with their families dwindles. A coach may only see his family one day a week. Last summer, Parham missed all 52 of his son’s AAU games because he was on the road recruiting. “It’s hard,” Groce said. “It’s hard when you have an 8-year-old, a 5-year-old and a pregnant wife. My wife understands, she gets it. She’s an important part of our recruiting efforts, as are the other wives.” Groce, his staff and their families have formed a support system between them that helps ease the burden of constant travel. Much like Groce stresses togetherness to his recruits and current players, there is a strong family-oriented culture within the coaches’ inner circles. After all, as Parham points out, you can’t sell your basketball program as “family first” if you’re not doing it in your own home. While on the road, Groce and his staff try as much as possible to stay involved in the lives of their wives and kids. And when time allows the coaches to spend time with them, they make it count. Parham puts it simply: When the coaches are off, they’re at home. Though recruiting season is a grind, it’s an aspect of the level of excellence Groce demands of himself and his staff. Groce’s work ethic in recruiting corre-
lates directly with his inner drive, and that effort rubs off on his assistants. “He’s tenacious; it’s in anything he does, he’s a competitor,” Ford said of Groce. “He wants our offense to be the best, he wants our defense to be the best, he wants our baseline out of bounds plays to be the best, he wants our recruiting to be the best. That’s just how he’s wired, and the same way he coaches our team is the same way he recruits.” Groce is attempting to establish the kind of culture he wants to instill at Illinois from the ground up. Groce and his staff pride themselves on being themselves. It’s the nature of the recruiting the nation’s best players that a coach will be rejected more often than not. But it’s Groce’s ambition that the efforts of him and his staff will resonate with the players he’s trying to bring in. “Here at Illinois, we say to do well here, you gotta love ball and you gotta love other people,” Groce said. “That’s who we are, and I would hope (recruits) would say that it’s genuine. My staff is that way too. I hire staff that way. My guys on staff, they love other people and they love ball. I think hopefully that shines through a little bit.”

according to her father. In college, Hanna’s coach and teammates have helped her through pressure and she’s not intimidated by big races. “She now looks forward to the challenge of a big race, and is proud to wear the orange and blue,” Mark said. Hanna’s second big race of the season was one in which head coach Scott Jones said she surpassed all expectations. “She has handled the responsibility of being an athlete the team can count on very well,” Jones said. “At the Big Ten meet, she beat some really good runners by performing at her best in a high-pressure environment.” Hanna was the Illini’s top fi nisher at the Big Ten Championships. She came in 38th overall. The Illini’s next competition is the NCAA Regional Championships on Friday in Peoria, Illinois, on a course the team has run and won on before. Hanna did not perform well in Peoria at the Bradley Invite in October, but Jones is confident Hanna will run well. “Hanna’s race mirrored the team’s performance,” Jones said. “I expect Hanna to race better the second time on this course. There is more at stake, but I think she has the experience and composure to build on her Big Ten race.”

trying to figure out if Toepfer had been specifically chosen as an exchange student for the purpose of improving the school’s cross-country team. After proving documents in the application process never mentioned Toepfer’s running ability, the investigation was dropped. “First of all, it’s awesome because you see that people care, in Germany you always feel like people don’t really care as much about running,” Toepfer said. “On the other hand, it was weird. I didn’t understand it, why was it such a big deal?” Toepfer finished seventh at the state cross-country meet and broke some MICDS records during the track season. At the conclusion of the 2006-07 school year, Toepfer returned to Germany. Even though Toepfer was heading home, to the Taylors and Lohr, it felt like he was leaving home. “We were visibly upset when he left,” Judy said. “It was just hard to let him go.” *** Toepfer returned to Germany and spent two more years at Graf-EngelbertSchule before graduating in 2009. Because of his experience with flying and travelling, Toepfer was interested in a career involving aerospace engineering. A friend of his father’s was a professor at Delft University in the Netherlands and recommended it to Toepfer. Delft has one of Europe’s best aerospace engineering programs and that won Toepfer over.
In Europe, most universities and colleges do not have athletics. This meant Toepfer would have to train on his own and go back to Germany every other week to train and compete with TV Wattenscheid O1. This routine became tough on Toepfer. Unable to train consistently, Toepfer accumulated half the mileage he was used to. He also spent many sleepless nights swamped with schoolwork. “I was pretty sick of training by myself and Delft because they don’t have a school sport system and they were not supportive at all with my running,” Toepfer said. “I had huge issues with my scheduling and things like that and it was just a pain in the ass.” In his second-to-last semester at Delft, Toepfer became involved in another exchange program. This time, he would be heading to Texas, where he wanted to continue his education and run for the Longhorns. Then, an issue arose with Toepfer’s credits. At Texas, he was considered a nondegree seeking student and was ineligible to compete athletically. After his exchange with Texas, Toepfer returned to Delft, but his dream to run for an American university still lingered. Toepfer got in contact with Lohr, and informed him that he wanted to try to run in the U.S. again. Lohr who had been a graduate assistant at Illinois under men’s cross-country coach Gary Wieneke, got in touch with the University. He
called Jeremy Rassmussen, who was the women’s crosscountry coach at the time for Illinois. Lohr called Rassmussen and said, “I have this guy that I coached in high school, and he’s an outstanding young man, he runs 8:50 in the steeplechase, he’s from Germany, and he’s looking for a school he can go to and compete that has a great engineering campus.” Rassmussen said he would pass the name along to the men’s coach, but couldn’t guarantee anything. A short time after talking with Rassmussen, Lohr received a call. Toepfer was going to be an Illini. *** Head coach Jake Stewart knows Illinois won’t be the same without Toepfer next season. “He’s someone who comes everyday and rarely does he not perform in a practice or a race in a way we’re not expecting,” Stewart said. “He’ll be tough to replace.” Toepfer doesn’t believe in destiny. “There are opportunities and you need to use them,” Toepfer says. “Illinois was there at the right time and that’s what happened. “I could have never (gone abroad) in the first place, which probably would have been the easier solution. But when you run 120 miles a week, you don’t really go for the easy solutions every time.”

TOEPFER *** Jim Lohr was skeptical about Toepfer’s arrival. Lohr, a cross-country and track coach at MICDS, had heard the story many a times. A foreign exchange student was coming and was supposedly the “next big thing.” But as soon as Lohr saw Toepfer, Lohr’s attitude changed. “I could tell from the time I met him that this was a special young man,” Lohr said. “He was so mature for a kid who was a sophomore and so excited to be where he was, excited to meet new people, excited to do well at this school and to have an opportunity to compete for a team that needed someone who can be their leader. He walked into that role immediately that day.” Toepfer’s first race is the only race he can remember vividly at MICDS. Toepfer started the race out hard, but after leading for most of the race, runners caught up with a gassed Toepfer. Exhausted, he was unable to run straight in the final stretch: He wobbled his way to the finish line, passed out and threw up. The next day Judy asked him, “Is this going to happen everyday?” But, despite Judy’s worries, Toepfer emerged as a talented runner at MICDS. As he performed well, word spread about Toepfer and people became curious. The Missouri State High School Activities Association launched an investigation

FOOTBALL extra players in to protect or whatever that means, we’ve got to be able to have that happen,” Beckman said. But Illinois is running out of linemen. The line is already jumbled heading into Saturday’s game, with linemen Michael Heitz, Alex Hill and Joe Spencer all starting while simultaneously backing each other up on the depth chart. “It’s a big concern,” offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said. “We’ve just got to be smart.”
Illinois’ opportunities dwindling
in the “fourth quarter” of the season, needing two wins in its next three games to reach bowl eligibility. This season marks the latest point in a season the Illini have been bowl eligible under Beckman. “We have been very successful in the fourth quarter of football games,” Beckman said. “We’ve talked about finishing and we’ve talked about what we need to get accomplished in these last three football games.” But while Beckman’s Illini have performed well in fourth quarters, outscoring opponents 87-56 in the final quarter, the team still needs to come away with wins — something it has only done twice in its last seven games.

Illinois hockey disappointed with home splits BY MATT GERTSMEIER STAFF WRITER
The Illini did not have much momentum in the first and second periods during Saturday’s loss to Aurora. In the third period, however, Illinois looked more aggressive and nearly mounted a comeback. Head coach Nick Fabbrini credits his team’s senior leadership with sparking the third period run. “A lot of it came from the older guys on the team,” Fabbrini said. “We’ve got pretty good senior leadership and I know that they were fired up in between periods and after the game. I think some pride took over.” Senior forward Jacob Matysiak was one of the leaders that started the third period rally. “We got the boys together on the bench and I told them, ‘Let’s get a goal right here,’ we ended up getting two quick goals, which was huge,” Matysiak said. “(In the) third period, we kind of regrouped, we knew their backs were against the wall and they knew we were coming and we did bring it for a little bit, but it was just too late in the game.”
Illini unhappy with split at home Friday’s win snapped a three-game losing streak for Illinois. After taking Friday’s game, the Illini hoped to win on Saturday and complete the sweep against Aurora. “I thought we should have smoked them both games,” Matysiak said. Matysiak felt the only difference in Friday and Satur-
day’s games was that Aurora was more aggressive on Saturday. “We were soft all-around and they won pretty much every battle up to the second period,” Matysiak said. “We didn’t want it as much as the other team did.” Splitting a series at home is something the Illini try to avoid, according to Fabbrini. “Nobody’s happy,” Fabbrini said. “Splits are not what we’re looking for, especially at home. We’re too good of a team to come out and play like this, especially in front of our home fans.” The Illini’s next opportunity at home will be this weekend against Iowa State.
Players face less ice time After committing only five penalties in Friday night’s win over Aurora, the Illini were penalized 11 times in Saturday’s 7-4 loss. Three of Aurora’s seven goals came off of power plays. Fabbrini felt that having some of his top players in the penalty box hurts his team’s ability to get more shots on goal. In a game where tensions ran high, Fabbrini thought his team lost composure, and as a result, committed ill-advised penalties. To solve this problem, Fabbrini thinks he must start limiting ice time for some of his players. “The only thing that changes decision-making around here is lack of playing time,” Fabbrini said.

Birks on pace to break record After week against Wildcats, Illini sit at third in standings BY STEPHEN BOURBON SENIOR WRITER
In her third season as the Illini’s No. 1 offensive option, junior Jocelynn Birks is on pace to set offensive records at Illinois. With six matches left in the regular season and the NCAA tournament following, Birks is already ninth on the all-time kills list with 1,385. In her first two seasons in Champaign, Birks recorded 510 and 500 kills, respectively, in her freshman and sophomore seasons. Birks is one of just nine players ever to join the 500 kills club in one season and could hit that mark again this season. The junior is averaging 3.95 kills per set, meaning the Illini must play in 126 sets this season to hit the mark — which would be two more sets than last season and three more than 2012. Looking forward to next
season, if Birks is able to put together her fourth consecutive 500 kill season — a feat that no Illini has ever accomplished — she would set the program record for kills in a career. The current mark is held by Laura DeBruler, who smacked 1,833 kills from 2007-10. While setting the Illinois record for career kills is plausible, the conference record is further out of reach. Ohio State’s, Stacey Gordon put away 2,798 kills from 2001-04 for the Buckeyes. That ranks third in the NCAA, although that was under the 30-point scoring format where each set was played to 30 instead of 25.
Illini finish pair of matches in one week against Northwestern Under the new Big Ten schedule, there are just 20
conference games for 13 opponents. Illinois experienced an unusual week of matches this past week, as they faced Northwestern twice in four days. The two teams split the two matches, with the Wildcats pulling out a five-set victory on Wednesday and the Illini earning a four-set decision Saturday. “It’s interesting to play the same team twice,” head coach Kevin Hambly said. “Both teams sort of know what they’re going to do with the ball and know the tendencies a little bit more. I can’t imagine playing a playoff series of seven games in the NBA.” One of the main improvements that turned a loss into a win was the Illini’s passing. Illinois improved its hitting percentage from .177 to .210 and held the Wildcats to a .071 hitting percentage — 66 points lower than the mark they hit on Wednesday. “I thought our passing was a lot better,” Birks said after Saturday’s match. “There were a lot of things
that we were more focused on (Saturday). We talked about paying attention to details and I think we did that.”
Updating the conference standings With just three weeks left in the regular season, the No. 12 Illini sit firmly in third place in the Big Ten standings. Wednesday’s loss to the Wildcats may submarine the Illini’s chances at the regular season conference title — Illinois is now two games behind first-place Wisconsin in the standings. The Badgers claimed the first meeting between the two teams at Huff Hall on Oct. 4, although the two teams will square off Nov. 19 in Madison, Wisconsin. Penn State is in second place, one game behind Wisconsin, with a 12-2 record in Big Ten play.

Rose needs to toughen up, get back on the court MUBARAK SALAMI Sports columnist
W
hen healthy, Chicago Bulls’ point guard Derrick Rose is an unbelievable talent — arguably one of the topfive players in the NBA. The key words, however, are when healthy. For the past two years, Rose has been anything but that. Prior to this season, Rose had played only 10 games out of 162 regular season games. Already in this short season, Rose has missed four games due to minor injuries to both his ankles. What is most disappointing about Rose’s continuous injuries is his inability to play through them. Sure, injuries are a part of the game, but when you are just a little banged up or are able to play through the pain, you should be out on the floor. Minor aches and bruises should not keep players off the floor on a consistent basis.
Now, I’m not saying Rose should play no matter what his injury is, consequently risking the longevity of his career as well as the Bulls’ franchise. What I am saying is as a Bulls’ fan, I need to see more out of him on the court. It’s no secret that Rose is the key to the Bulls’ season. If they want any shot at being a serious championship contender this year or in the near future, Rose needs to be playing at his best. Rose’s teammates have played through pain in the past, so why can’t he? Center Joakim Noah has been playing through plantar fasciitis in his right foot the past few seasons. Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that affects the heel of one’s foot due to ligament damage to the foot’s plantar fascia. Not only has Noah played through the pain, he has done so at an extremely high level, winning the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award and being named to the NBA AllFirst Team a year ago. Bulls’ forward Jimmy
Butler is another Chicago Bull who is playing despite not being completely healthy. Butler sprained his left thumb late in the preseason and was expected to miss the first week of the season. However, Butler has fought through this pain and has only missed one game this year. He is a key reason for Chicago’s early season success. I hope Rose is taking note. By constantly missing time, Rose is hurting his team. The sporadic insertion and removal of Rose in the lineup causes the team’s rhythm and chemistry to be totally out of sync. With several key additions, the team needs time to mesh together but cannot do so if the most important player is always on the bench. Two years ago, after Rose tore his ACL for the first time, he was declared ready to play by doctors, right around the start of the playoffs. For whatever reason, Rose decided not to come back, leaving his teammates and his city hopeless. This
was the first time he had done so, but it was just the beginning. While I will never understand the wear and tear put on the body of a professional athlete or the day-to-day grind of the NBA, I do understand the concept of responsibility. I understand that as the superstar of your team, the most integral part of your teammates’ success, it is your responsibility to be on the court when you can. Rose cannot continue to force his teammates to carry the load when the team is built around him. It’s not fair to the team, the fans or the city of Chicago. It’s very simple: When Rose is on the floor, he is magical. The Bulls are magical. The United Center is magical. I just hope him being on the court becomes as simple as it sounds.

The NFL needs to be held accountable for concussions PETER BAILEY-WELLS Assistant sports editor
B
ad things are always swept under the rug. I believe humans are inherently positive. Optimism tugs at the heart of every person, especially in sports. That’s why anyone involved with sports loves underdogs, comeback kids and redemption stories. But does that positivity mean we lose sight of important things? The NFL season is in full swing and both fans and media alike are wrapped up in all the on-field storylines this season has produced. Are the Patriots for real? Is Peyton Manning the greatest ever? Are the Bears
really that bad? But, we’ve all been duped by our own positivity; we forgot what really matters. The NFL is destroying people’s brains, and we’ve forgotten about that. Sounds dramatic, right? In August 2013, a settlement worth nearly $800 million was reached between the NFL and thousands of former players who claimed to suffer from football-induced head injuries. That settlement was modified in July of this year in an effort to remove a cap on the damages that may be paid to current and former players. Both happened during the offseason and garnered significant attention. For context, $800 million could buy any one of several different professional sports franchises.
I’m not a doctor. I don’t know the exact specifics of dementia, Alzheimer’s or chronic traumatic encephalopathy (commonly known as CTE). But I have had a concussion. I was concussed during my senior season of high school football during a game against our biggest rival. I don’t know on which play I was concussed, but that’s not because I blacked out or lost vision; in fact, I suspect it was on a play during which I wasn’t even knocked to the ground. My head hurt after the Friday night game, but if you play football, your head usually hurts after a game; you just pop two ibuprofen tablets and expect to feel better in the morning. The next Monday morning I was diagnosed with
a mild concussion by the school’s athletic trainer. My head hurt for the next three weeks, but after being concussed on Oct. 19, I returned to play in my final football game ever just a month later. I only played serious varsity football for two years. I wasn’t a lineman or a linebacker or a running back. I was a wide receiver who caught just a single pass my entire high school career. I made twenty or thirty tackles on defense at corner and safety and never really got “hurt” on any big hits. But what about practices? What about those hundreds of hits I absorbed during Oklahoma drills, blocking drills or during full-team scrimmages? I loved playing football, and if I had to choose, I’d do
it all again in a heartbeat. Did you really care all that much about my high school football career? You probably didn’t, but it’s the best example I have of how many hits a football player takes simply in a career that extends until the age of 17. Double that and you’re looking at the age of current Bears’ linebacker Lance Briggs, who turns 34 on Wednesday. How many hits has he taken? How many concussions has he suffered? We’ve forgotten about concussions. It seems to just be a hot topic during the offseason, but it needs to be a topic now. Carson Palmer tore his ACL on Sunday, and on the NFL’s Week 10 injury report, there were 84 players with knee-related injuries, compared to 22
players listed with head injuries. But don’t think for one moment that head injuries aren’t the most common injury in the NFL right now, because they are. Honestly, I don’t know how the NFL can address brain injuries. I’m not an expert, but I do know that the NFL should be held accountable and not just financially accountable. On the issue of concussions, as well as on a host of other things, including domestic violence, I know the NFL needs to be held accountable. It needs to be held morally accountable.

While baseball and football are considered America’s pastimes, rugby is a sport that is rapidly gaining popularity and attention in the United States. Not only is rugby growing nationwide, but it is also becoming more relevant here at the University thanks to the Illinois men’s rugby team. “Technically, Illinois men’s rugby is a club sport. However, we take it as seriously as a varsity sport when it comes to practicing, competing and representing our school,� said Rich Daniels, vice president of the team. Rugby is one of the fastest growing team sports in America of the past five years according to the Sports and Fitness Industry Association, and rugby participation grew almost 350 percent in the United States between 2004 and 2011 alone. Perhaps the area of the country that has seen the biggest boom in the prevalence of rugby is the Midwest, and popularity has grown specifically in Illinois. Earlier this month, Chicago’s Soldier Field played host
