A change UI to vote on Salaita settlement Thursday in culture BY ABIGALE SVOBODA NEWS EDITOR
Where Illinois athletics goes from here

THE DAILY ILLINI
The Board of Trustees is expected to vote on a possible settlement with Steven Salaita at the board’s meeting in Chicago on Thursday. The vote to authorize a settlement was listed as part of the roll call agenda for the board’s Nov. 12 meeting, which was released Monday.
According to the agenda, the settlement will be presented to the Board as a whole. It has not been fi nalized. At the Senate Executive meeting Monday, Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson said the settlement would be discussed Thursday but said she could not say more. Tom Hardy, University spokesman, said there
is “not much to say” but the item will be finalized before the meeting Thursday. The University has been involved in a lawsuit with Salaita since Jan. 29, when Salaita fi led suit in the Northern District of Illinois, alleging the University violated his right to academic freedom and caused intentional emotional distress.
Salaita’s suit named former chancellor Phyllis Wise, former president Robert Easter, former Board of Trustees chairman Chris Kennedy, Vice President for Academic Affairs Christophe Pierre and unnamed donors. He is seeking the job for which he was originally hired and

ike Thomas was inevitably going to get fired. It was simply a matter of when, not if. Even despite Thomas’ relative innocence in relation to the abusive actions of Tim Beckman — as described in Franczek Radelet’s report — Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson dismissed him from the University. She cited the DIA’s need for a “change in leadership.” How about a change in culture? I don’t mean paying lip service to a change in culture but actually changing the way administrators, coaches and student-athletes approach Illinois sports. The University will eventually hire a head football coach and athletic director who’ll bring a new era of leadership to a school with a lot of “interims” in important positions right now. But even if they hire “the right man/woman for the job” the University might still totally miss the point here. The point is that for the success of the athletic department, the administrators must look to the student-athletes — not donors, coaches or fans — for direction. The University owes an apology to Simon Cvijanovic, Nick North and many of the players that came out with abuse allegations directed at Beckman in the spring. The University’s direct representative, its athletic director, stood behind its coach, rather than supporting the young adults who were claiming physical and emotional abuse at the hands of a man twice their age. The University owes an apology to the current Illini football players — especially the seniors — who have had to endure this debacle during their season and who were hung out to dry on social media in the spring, supporting a coach who they didn’t know was really a horrible person. Wilson said Thomas didn’t do anything wrong but that the athletics issues had become “a distraction.” Don’t be confused by that, Thomas was a scapegoat, plain and simple. Both he and Wilson seem to understand that someone needed to take the fall for what happened in the last six months. So going forward, get rid of the “good old boy culture” that thrives at Illinois. It’s racist, sexist and ignorant. Who cares if you can raise a lot of money and schmooze with the big boosters? Not the kids on the field. Don’t hire another coach who is going to call his players “pussies” and “bitches.” Don’t hire trainers that won’t support student-athletes’ mental and physical health. Maybe Bill Cubit is the guy. He was cleared of any and all wrongdoing in the Franczek Radelet investigation. He nearly choked up during Monday’s press conference when he announced that Jihad Ward had been selected for the Senior Bowl. But it doesn’t matter who the next head coach is and who the next athletic director is, they better listen to their players. The resignation of the president of the University of Missouri is a pretty clear indication that student-athletes have a voice, and when it is exercised, it can be a powerful tool for good and for bad. So remember where you went wrong, University administration. It doesn’t behoove the University to shunt its studentathletes to the side in favor of the guys making $1.5 million a year and getting $2.5 million in a contract buyout. On Monday, Cubit was the one who said it best — regardless of his association with Illinois going forward. “If we can be good people, golly … We have a chance.”
MIKE THOMAS OUT THE DAILY ILLINI
Athletic Director agrees to part ways with the University BY PETER BAILEY-WELLS SPORTS EDITOR
After several player accusations of mistreatment, lawsuits and swirling debate on the state of Illinois athletics, Athletic Director Mike Thomas’ years with the University are over. Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson announced Monday that the University would be exercising the “without cause” separation clause in Thomas’ contract in a Massmail to students, faculty and staff. Wilson said there are no findings of misconduct on Thomas’ part, “In order to move forward and put the focus of the athletics program back on the success of student-athletes, a change in leadership is needed.” Interim head coach Bill Cubit and new assistant coaches were found free of wrongdoing in the report. Former Illinois football player Simon Cvijanovic said that Cubit attempted to convince him to stop taking anti-anxiety medi-

Paul Kowalczyk will serve as the interim athletic director after Thomas departure athletic budget and the University is exercising the “without cause” separation clause in Thomas’ contract. Coaches from all Illini sports were in attendance including women’s basketball head coach Matt Bollant, men’s gymnastics Justin Spring and women’s gymnastics Kim Landrus. Dee Brown and other athletic administrators were in attendance as well. Wilson and Kowalczyk said they would be meeting with the Illini head coaches Monday and Tuesday. Kowalczyk has been with Illinois since 2012. He previously served as director of athletics at Colorado State University and Southern Illinois University, but never as an interim athletic director. He will be making $295,000 in his new position. He was previously earning $140,595 as senior associate athletic director. When asked about the future of the football program, both Wilson and Kowalczyk said they would be waiting until the end of the season to make decisions regarding head coach Bill Cubit. Both praised Cubit’s progress with the team.
BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER
Illinois’ typical Monday football routine started a bit earlier and with a few different faces. The University released the results of the independent reports of the Illinois sports medicine and football programs investigations and in turn announced the dismissal of Athletic Director Mike Thomas. Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson and Interim Athletic Director Paul Kowalczyk spoke at the press conference about the investigation and the future of Illinois athletics. Thomas and former Chancellor Phyllis Wise commissioned an independent investigation of the program, conducted by Chicago law firm Francek Radelet. Wilson said the final report was given to the University last week — she has been talking with Thomas since then. She said the report found no misconduct on Thomas’ part. Wilson added she was the one who brought up the idea of Thomas stepping down and that he was “gracious” about the decision. The buyout for Thomas is $2.5 million dollars, coming from the

Beckman released a statement through his lawyer Monday night refuting the report’s findings. In his statement, Beckman said he never meant to intentionally put players in harm’s way. In regards to scholarships, Beckman said that the University governed the withdrawal and release of scholarships. The statement also reiterated that Beckman was confident in his coaching methods during his time at Illinois. “During his tenure as the head football coach at the University of Illinois, coach Tim Beckman always acted first and foremost with the well-being and safety of his players in mind,” the statement read. “He categorically rejects any conclusion to the contrary contained within the University of Illinois’ report on “Injury Management and Scholarship Renewal.” In the weeks following Cvijan-

cation to improve his football performance prior to the 2014 season. Cubit said Cvijanovic had complained about stomach issues and other impediments to his performance during Camp Rantoul, which the Cvijanoivc believed stemmed from his medication. Cubit shared personal experiences about one of his family members who took similar medication as a way to advise Cvijanovic’s decision — the report said Cubit put the decision entirely in Cvijanovic’s hands. The trouble for Thomas began in late May when Cvijanovic took to Twitter to voice his unhappiness with former head football coach Tim Beckman and the athletic department as a whole. Accusations followed from other former football players, which prompted Thomas and Chancellor Phyllis Wise to commission an independent investigation of the program. Thomas fired Beckman on Aug. 28.

Missouri president, chancellor resign following student demand BY ABIGALE SVOBODA NEWS EDITOR
The University of Missouri system president, Tim Wolfe, resigned Monday, following outcry over his handling of racist and bias incidents on the Columbia campus. Wolfe announced his decision to resign at an emergency meeting called by the university’s Board of Curators — the eight-member body that oversees the Missouri system. The Washington Post’s Susan Svrluga reported at the meeting, Wolfe said his decision was out of love, not hate. “I love MU, Columbia, where I grew up, the state of Missouri,� Wolfe said. However, Svrlgua reported, Wolfe ultimately concluded resigning “is the right thing to do.� The incidents gained national attention Saturday night when members of the university’s football team took to Twitter to announce they would not participate in any football activities until Wolfe resigned. The tweet was sent by the Legion of Black Collegians and included the hashtags ‘#ConcernedStudent1950’ and ‘#MizzouHungerStrike.’ Following the uproarious weekend, Svrluga reported seeming-
ly the whole campus was calling for Wolfe’s resignation. Students camped out – one on a hunger strike, faculty members canceled classes, the football team threatened to boycott the remainder of the season and the student government association formally demanded Wolfe step-down. In a public letter to the board, the Missouri Students Association wrote the campus has been suffering since the university was silent about the death of Michael Brown, who was shot in Ferguson, Missouri. in August 2014. “Over the last 16 months, the quality of life for our students has only worsened,� the letter states. It went on to state that as a result of the continuous comprising of black students’ safety and well-being the “campus climate has grown so tumultuous that all of our students are unable to pursue the very reason they attend this institution.� Payton Head, the association’s student president, reportedly started the campus conversation about racism at the start of the academic year with a viral tweet about being called a racial slur once again. In a statement posted to the board’s website, Wolfe stated he
understands the frustration and anger of everyone involved. The board announced Monday night that Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, who oversees the Colombia campus, will also step-down. Lofting will serve as chancellor until the end of the school year and stay on the faculty as director for research facility development. “Why did we get to this very difficult situation?� It is my belief, we stopped listening to each other,� Wolfe said. “We didn’t respond or react. We got frustrated with each other.�

University awarded grant for substance abuse courses BY DIXITA LIMBACHIA STAFF WRITER
BY ALI BRABOY STAFF WRITER
Job cuts at Caterpillar Inc. have raised concern about its working relationship with the University. Caterpillar announced 4,000 to 5,000 job cuts by the end of 2016 and possibly cutting 10,000 jobs through 2018, according to the company’s Sept. 24 press release. What does that mean for University graduates interested in working for the company? Caterpillar, headquartered in Peoria, is the leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, industrial gas turbines, diesel and natural gas engines and diesel-electric locomotives, according to the company’s website. According to Caterpillar’s 2014 Fact Sheet, the company had 114,352 full-time global employees. Caterpillar announced in the press release that it would take cost reduction actions. The release stated that the sales and revenues
outlook weakened for 2015, and sales and revenues in 2016 are expected to be around 5 percent lower than in 2015. Doug Oberhelman, Caterpillar chairman and CEO, said in the release the company has experienced challenging conditions in its mining and energy sections. The company reduced its total workforce by more than 31,000 since mid-2012.
What does Caterpillar say? “Caterpillar remains committed to building up STEM education to boost the next generation of innovative manufacturing workers. We have continued our relationship with the University of Illinois,” said Matthew Lavoie, Caterpillar spokesman in an email. “Earlier this year, we established a new data analytics laboratory on campus that will further strengthen our relationship with the university.”
Caterpillar at the University apply their engineering skills According to Research Park’s website, Caterpillar opened the Champaign Simulation Center within Research Park in conjunction with the University’s National Supercomputing Center in 1999. In February 2015, Caterpillar announced the opening of its data innovation lab. The Caterpillar facility at Research Park works as a “recruitment pipeline” for the company. The website states Caterpillar has hired 65 percent of University students who were offered positions. Since Caterpillar first opened at the University, close to 500 students have interned there, said Laura Frerichs, director of Research Park.
What does the University think of Caterpillar at Research Park? “Caterpillar gives students a wonderful opportunity to
in a real world environment and build expertise in product design, simulation, modeling and optimization,” Frerichs said in an email. “Students receive mentoring from experienced engineers and are paid well during the school year with the internships Caterpillar provides at the Research Park.” Michael Nute, Ph.D. student in statistics, worked for Caterpillar at Research Park over the summer of 2014 and was rehired to work for the 2014-2015 school year. He said he believes the work Caterpillar does is important. Nute said the Research Park team is phenomenally talented and important to the future of Caterpillar. He said he believes there will be more people working for Caterpillar at Research Park in the coming years, based on what he knows of the industry.

IFLIP: Learn a new language in weeks University to offer winter language classes BY YI ZHANG STAFF WRITER
Learning a language can be a long, time-consuming process that needs continued practice and hard work. But a program in the School of Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics is aiming to provide a short-term experience for those who are interested in learning something new in less time. The Intensive Foreign Language Instruction Program or IFLIP will offer classes in the winter semester, giving the opportunity for students to learn the basics of a variety of languages. The program will offer courses in elementary Ger-
man; elementary and intermediate French, Italian and Portuguese; and elementary, intermediate and advanced Spanish. The program will take place from Jan. 4 to 15. “IFLIP is an intensive two-week foreign language program, which is designed for people who are going to travel for a short time and cover basic introduction of the language,” said Marlynna Schaefer, administrative assistant in the School of Literatures, Culture and Linguistics. The program began in 2005 and has offered instruction in a variety of languages, said Schaefer. Schaefer said the course offered by IFLIP vary from year to year depending on the instructors available during the program period. Students pay $100 for the program, while faculty pay $125
SEC reviews FIRE, AUP letters BY CHRISTIN WATKINS STAFF WRITER
The Senate Executive Committee has reviewed letters criticizing the policy and academic freedom at the University but will not act on them. David O’Brien, chair of the Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure and professor in art history, said the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education , FIRE, raised concerns about academic freedom. Individual people wrote letters criticizing the University’s Appropriate Use Policy. FIRE aims “to defend and sustain individual rights at America’s colleges and universities,” according to their website. The AUP works to maintain appropriate use of University computers and network systems, according to its website. While the letters have been acknowledged, the committee does not plan to respond to them individually, O’Brien said. “Our proliferation of these statements in defense of academic freedom (is that) they’re all good,” he said. O’Brien said he doesn’t believe action should be taken to make changes to any of these policies.
“We already have strong language in our statutes and AUP policy is clear on this,” he said. Progressing to a new agenda item, Peter Schiffer, vice chancellor for research and SEC member, said the University’s Center for Advanced Study plans to reduce the number of staff it has, but does not plan to change how the programs are administered. Programs held by CAS include “a series of speakers from on and off campus, a symposium or conference as well as a faculty and graduate student seminar in the spring semester,” according to the website. He estimated that the total cost of the staff and programs is between $400,000 and $500,000. “To my mind, that is too much” Schiffer said. In order to limit costs, CAS will reduce the number of staff members, and current faculty will take on these staff members’ duties, he said. This should allow CAS to allocate more funding for academic programs, while giving less to administration, he said.

She said that teaching IFLIP courses is a different experience compared to teaching in regular classes. “I don’t use the same material as what I use for the regular classes during semesters, and it is always a good opportunity to learn something new,” Goebel said. “The course content focuses more on conversation, travel skills, interaction (with) students.” Goebel said that the courses offer a low-pressure option for students and the public, who might not have time otherwise, to learn new languages. “Students are happy to come to class and learn something new because they

The transition from the classroom to the real world will be made even more smooth with the help of a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMHA. SAMHA g ra nted $919,000 to Social Work at the University to fund the latest hands-on courses that prevent substance abuse. The new course will be offered for the first time in the spring exclusively to students in Social Work and will offer a new experience for substance abuse treatment for undergraduate and graduate students. The classes are offered as three separate sections — screening, brief intervention and referral of the treatment. The three-step treatment model is a unique approach to treatment services and the early prevention of substance abuse. “This course allows us to teach in the classroom with students on how to do an evidence based treatment, which a lot of students don’t get with the hands-on training within the Social Work program” said Douglas Smith, the principal investigator and a social work professor. SAMHA was able to fund the courses through block grants, Smith said. SAMHA is a branch of the government that’s mission is to disseminate effective treatments for substance abuse and mental illness. Liliane Windsor, course co-director and professor in Social Work, said she sees a lot of potential for the future implementation of the coursework.
“It’s a really exciting grant in the sense that it supports the translation of research to the real world by training students to see them, implementing what they learn about substance abuse treatments” Windsor said. “It’s a very timely plan, especially in health care in the United States, there’s likely going to be large demands for substance abuse services.” Students who take the course will also be offered internships that may last four to seven months, depending on whether they are undergraduate or graduate students. Lincy Pompilus, senior in Social Work, thought the idea of this course stemmed from other sequences in the college. “There is an entrepreneurship class that is offered in the College of Social Work but this course seems like an opening to another avenue of specialized work” she said. The goal of the SAMHA dissemination grant is to get an evidence-based treatment into the hands of the mental health professionals as quickly and effectively as possible. SAMHA will also fund a scholarship for students in Social Work; students in the SBIRT Scholars Program will be trained on how to provide motivational interviewing to help people reduce their substance abuse. “A lot of students don’t have this opportunity to do hands-on activities so this is a great way to practice on how to do treatment models before the actual internship” Smith said.

pressure from donors and other University stakeholders to rescind Salaita’s offer. The decision sparked outrage on the University’s Urbana campus, nationally and even globally. However student protests, faculty letters and concern from the American Association of University Professors did not impact the board’s decision. On Sept. 11, 2014, the board stood by Wise’s statement and voted not to approve Salaita’s appointment. Trustee James Montgomery was the only board
member to vote differently. Since the decision, Salaita has filed a federal and civil suit against the University, all of which are currently in litigation. He is currently serving as the American Studies chair at the University of Beirut and published a book, “Uncivil Rites: Palestine and the Limits of Academic Freedom,” in October. The book, published by Haymarket Books, features Salaita’s tumultuous relationship with the University. According to Haymarket’s website, Salaita
“combines personal reflection and political critique to shed new light on his controversial termination. He situates his case at the intersection of important issues that affect both higher education and social justice activism.” Salaita is being represented by Anand Swaminathan of Loevy & Loevy and Maria LaHood of the Center for Constitutional Rights. Neither Swaminatha or LaHood could be reached for immediate contact.
his departure was mutually agreed upon at the time. Soon after the existence of the women’s basketball letters was made public, Thomas and Wise commissioned a second independent investigation, this time into the women’s basketball program. The independent investigations into the women’s basketball programs found no racism on the part of Bollant. Wilson announced the final results of the Francek Radelet investigation into allegations of player abuse would be released later Monday.
Wilson named Senior Associate Athletic Director Paul Kowalczyk the interim director. Thomas came to the University in August 2011. “I understand the administration’s decision to turn the page and turn the focus of this organization back on the success and welfare of our student-athletes,” Thomas said in a statement Monday. “It has been my privilege to be part of this storied program and this great university. I will always cherish my time at this institution and in this community.”
An additional nail in Thomas’ coffin was the lawsuit filed on June 8 by former Illini soccer player Casey Conine. Conine alleged mistreatment of a concussion she suffered during the 2014 season that ended her college career. The former women’s basketball players who alleged mistreatment at the hands of Bollant and Divilbiss filed a $10 million lawsuit on July 1. That lawsuit is ongoing.
looking at the South Endzone project. “I got to get up to speed pretty quickly with that.” Despite never having served as interim before, Kowalczyk wasn’t worried. Instead his focus was on
moving forward and securing the future of student athletes. “I’ve not been an interim before so I’m not really sure what that means, but I appreciate what the chancellor said in regards to that.”
Kowalczyk said. “We’re not going to sit on our hands, we’ve got stuff we got to do. We’ve got things we want to accomplish.”

The cost of ending University scandals
S
ome major checks are being written on campus, but it’s for the better. On Monday, Athletic Director Mike Thomas was let go without cause, and the findings from the investigation into allegations of player mistreatment by the Illini football and women’s basketball teams were released. The investigation says Thomas was not involved in any misconduct. Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson said Thomas had too many “distractions” during his time at Illinois to maintain his employment. Since he was fired without cause, Thomas will be owed $2.5 million from the University for his severance. In the midst of this, the Board of Trustees is also set to vote on a settlement with Steven Salaita. His appointment was rejected in August 2014 after posting a series of controversial tweets regarding conflict in Gaza. He went on to sue the University, stating his First Amendment rights were violated. The details for the settlement are unclear, but the board will vote on Thursday. With the proposed state budget cuts already looming, the last thing we need is to be spending more. But if it’s going to take some spending to move on from the many controversies that have marred the University’s past year, these changes are for the best. This could also make our
campus more attractive for new potential employees to fill the abundance of interim positions currently available, as it will create a campus environment without a lawsuit hanging over its head and without a lawsuit facing its athletics. The University is bigger than any one person or employee — especially proven by the many administrative shifts we’ve recently experienced — and the opportunity to further wipe the slate clean triumphs over the significant financial cost of these actions. The funds to pay off Thomas will come from the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics budget, consisting of funding from media and donations — meaning doling out these funds will not impact academics and will not come from the taxpayers. Still, it is unknown whether Salaita’s settlement will come in the form of funds or the reinstatement of his employment. We now have an interim chancellor, interim provost, interim athletic director and interim head football coach. We cannot let a stalemate of interim leaders plague the campus – instead, the University should look ahead to see who could start anew in these positions so we can further our academic achievements, rather than spiral as a school with no constant leaders.
Saturday, over 30 University of Missouri football players announced on social media that they would no longer go to practices or play in games until Mizzou President Tim Wolfe resigned. This news came after Jonathan Butler, graduate student at Mizzou, began a hunger strike in protest of Wolfe, saying he would “not consume any food or nutritional sustenance at the expense of (his) health until Tim Wolfe is removed from office.” Butler, the football players and other African-American students protested in various ways because they blamed Wolfe for the school’s failure to address the increasingly apparent racism on the Columbia campus. For months, black student groups have claimed that racial slurs and other racist acts on Mizzou’s primarily white, 35,000-student campus went unaddressed by school officials. On Sept. 12, Payton Head, senior at Mizzou and president of the Missouri Students Association, was walking around campus when a person in a truck repeatedly shouted the “n-word” at him through his window. Head tweeted about his experience and it went viral. Mizzou’s lack of a response to his post was disheartening. At Mizzou’s homecoming parade October 10, Wolfe refused to get out of his car to speak with black protestors who tried to get his attention. The students were surrounding his car and removed by police. Yesterday, Wolfe resigned. Hours later, Mizzou chancellor R. Bowen Loftin announced he would be stepping down at the end of the year. A New York Times article quotes Wolfe, “I take full responsibility for this frustration,” he added, “and I take full responsibility for the inaction that has occurred.” These protests may be the most dramatic and recent action against racism on American college campuses, but they are not the only ones. Universities around the country have housed many protests in the 15 months since Michael Brown was shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri — including a Black Lives Matter march on our own campus last year. And even as the Black Lives Matter movement and others like it have drawn attention to lingering racism in the United States, racism is still prevalent in our country and on college campuses. Many University students may have read about the news happening at Mizzou and compared it to our University. Though some students, like myself, may have initially expressed relief that our University seems relatively absent of racism, students are wrong to make that assertion. I have learned how mistaken I was in my own misunderstanding through speaking with peers, and other students need to see the ignorance in this belief as well. There are many situations on campus
that project or continue racist attitudes — be it the long-standing presence of the Chief, this publication’s printing of a racist cartoon, the presence of a Confederate Flag outside a fraternity house or any number of other indiscretions. Eric Walker, sophomore in LAS, explains that he has had certain students switch up their dialects when speaking with him to dumb down their language, which comes across as racist even if that is not the intention. When this happens, he reminds people “you can talk like yourself.” Brandon Robinson, freshman in LAS, has had similar interactions, namely with a professor who teaches a class in which he is the only African American student. “Every time I come in there, I feel like he (picks) on me ... he asks me questions like I haven’t read or something,” he said. This makes him angry because he said it isn’t the case. Our university has fairly diverse demographics. According to the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations, people who are African American make up 5 percent of this campus’ population, Asian students compromise 14 percent, we have a Hispanic population of 8 percent and 22 percent of the students on our campus are international students. However, through this diversity we are not integrating. Gabby Maloney, fresman in ACES explained the lack of integration when she walks through the Quad. “When you look at different cultural groups — African-Americans, Caucasians, Asians — you see them talking in their own groups with each other and I think that has a lot to do with feeling more comfortable talking to their own race.” Additional examples of this can be seen if you look at the stereotypes surrounding university housing, where Pennsylvania and Florida Avenue Residence halls are perceived to house mostly African-American or international students, whereas the Ikenberry commons are typically believed to house white students. These types of separation are difficult to see with the naked eye, but students need to become more attuned to these racial barriers and notice where they occur on campus. The recent events taking place at Mizzou prove that ignoring issues of racism, whether obvious or subtle, is not an acceptable solution. Racism, whether purposeful or not, enables people to make judgments about others on the basis of the way they look. Racism alone allows people to justify assumptions made about different types of people. It is vital that everyone sees what is happening at University of Missouri is not an issue tied only to that particular campus. We have similar issues here that just don’t happen to be in the news at this time. We can learn something about changing racism from Mizzou. They fought hard and made a very big difference by banding together as a student body. And it is necessary that we are constantly and actively learning about and working towards a more inclusive environment so that we can one day say that our school is completely unprejudiced and non-racist.

ntroverts are often misconstrued as anti-social, silent personalities who avoid all kinds of social activity. However, this is an enormous overarching generalization that inaccurately depicts introverts in a negative perspective. Introverts are not catered to in terms of their learning styles and preferred thought processes in the workplace or in a classroom setting. This limits introverts and prevents them from becoming leaders in our society. The general public views introverts as the stereotypical nerd in television series and movies. This is often because the complex nature of an introvert is hard to depict and distinguish without actually understanding their thought processes and behaviors. For example, it’s easy for one to quickly label an introvert as antisocial rather than realizing that some introverts value alone time to recharge themselves. In fact, according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator results — which test personality type with a set of carefully selected questions — about an average of 50.7 percent of Americans are introverts. Many individuals don’t seem to recognize their introvertism because a personality is usually a mixture between extroverted and introverted tendencies. Based on the fact that the majority of Americans are introverts, it’s puzzling how most workplaces and school curriculums centralize their paths of learning and creativity around an extroverted mindset. Many of our social constructs in school or the workplace are largely focused around the idea of

“groupthink,” which “holds that creativity and productivity come from a very gregarious place.” From groupthink stems the idea of holding meetings to brainstorm new ideas and open-plan offices to facilitate collaboration. Collaborating ideas between individuals rather than allowing for individualistic thinking is a distinct extroverted tendency. This phenomenon also appears in class, where students are led through a vigorous schedule of socializing with little room for a reflection period, which is crucial for introverts. Instead, this kind of system only prioritizes social interaction as the path that will lead students to success. In addition, many teachers enforce the criterion of mandatory participation from students. However, participation in the classic classroom setting is fulfilled only by the outward spoken language. In order to allow introverts to learn and succeed in their individualistic ways, the definition of participation should broaden to include students taking in-depth notes during lectures or students coming to ask questions after class. Susan Ogwal, a teaching assistant in the department of communications, leads a class in public speaking, which aims to help students gain the skills to confidently iterate their thoughts to a large group of people. She said that in her class, participation is largely based on “being able to answer questions in class, raising their hand, giving impromptu speeches, group activity (and) interacting with each other.” "(Students) have the opportunity as an introvert to be able to work on your public speaking skills, and even as an extrovert to fine-tune your public speaking skills,” Ogwal said.

With Muslim Students Association being one of the RSOs participating in this year’s event, Zayyad said the organization hopes to reach other people by giving them an accurate representation of what it is like being a Muslim on campus. She said they hope to use the misconceptions of Muslims that are portrayed in the news and media in order to make others understand the inaccuracy of how they are represented. “What we are trying to do is to allow people to see what it is like to be Muslim on campus. All the good, all the bad, all the ugly, and everything in between,” Zayyad said. “I’m hoping to illustrate this with the manifested stories that have made national headlines that maybe some people don’t know about, but are ridiculous in every single way.” Zayyad, like most of the other participating RSOs, wants to create a fully immersive experience that appeal to all of the

She said she hopes to incorporate captivating visuals, audios and narratives in order to achieve this goal. “Hopefully with people being exposed to this all at once, they can really gather and collect the full picture of what it’s like to be either privileged or underprivileged,” Zayyad said.

SeaWorld ends shows Company evolves toward conservation and animal rescue BY SANDRA PEDICINI TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
ORLANDO — SeaWorld Entertainment will end theatrical killer whale shows next year in San Diego in favor of a more natural orca experience, company executives told analysts Monday. T he Orla ndo -based company did not say wh e t h e r someth i ng similar would follow in its parks in Orlando and San Antonio. The announcement is part of an overall plan unveiled to transform SeaWorld into a company t h a t ’s k n ow n fo r conservation and animal rescue. “We are listening to our guests. We’re evolving as a company. We’re always changing and again always evolving and so in 2017, we will launch an all new orca experience,” Chief Executive Officer Joel Manby told analysts. “It’s going to be focused more on the natural setting,
natural environment and natural behaviors of the whale. It will have a strong conservation message.” SeaWorld also plans to stress more of its rescue and conservation efforts throughout the parks. It plans rides based on its “Sea Rescue” TV show for its San Diego or San Antonio parks in the next couple of years. A different wildlife issue will be highlighted each quarter in the theme parks. Employees’ nametags will feature animal-related causes they care about. “It’s evident in society, people love companies that have a purpose,” Manby said. SeaWorld has struggled financially after the 2013 a nt i - c a p t iv i t y documentary “Blackfish,” which painted the theme park in a negative light. The company has been saddled with increased marketing, legal and lobbying costs as it has fought to sway public opinion and fend off legislative attempts to phase out keeping whales in captivity. On Friday, a Democratic congressman announced he would introduce a bill that would phase out orca
breeding in the U.S. Last month, the California Coastal Commission ruled that SeaWorld could only expand its killer whale tanks if it agreed to end breeding. SeaWorld has hired a law firm to fight that ruling. Manby said that even if successful, the orca tank expansion in San Diego might not happen. Some of the money for that project is being diverted to the new orca experience debuting in 2017. T he pr oje c t wa s announced last year and included expansions in Orlando and San Antonio. The company did not say whether those expansions are still expected to happen. Manby was hired at SeaWorld’s CEO last year and has been putting together a plan for recovery. Other plans laid out included: SeaWorld has acquired the rights to the “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” characters and will start featuring them next year in Christmas events. The company wants to have its own hotels, just like Walt Disney World and Orlando do.
‘Taxi’ displays different styles of life under regime BY ASHISH VALENTINE EBERT FELLOW
At first glance, Jafar Panahi’s “Taxi” captures a cross-section of life in Tehran, Iran, and a vivid recreation of the variety of characters one cab driver can pick up in the course of a day. Released in 2015, the entire film is set in a cab, which writer-director Panahi, playing a version of himself, drives throughout the streets of Tehran. The movie is shot through three cameras mounted throughout his cab and occasionally with a handheld camera. The characters, passengers Panahi picks up throughout his journey, are played by mostly unprofessional actors. They’re richly painted, even in brief, and many of Panahi’s interactions with them reveal an expressly political dimension, every conversation criticizing the regime he lives under in a different way. Panahi’s experience with the government’s brutality isn’t abstract either. As he plays himself in the film, the writer-director lives under the Iranian government’s 20-year ban on making movies. One of his previous movies, “This Is Not a Film” (2011), had to be smuggled out of Iran to
be shown at Cannes by hiding a flash drive and mailing it inside a cake. Despite the drastic circumstances of Panahi’s struggle with censorship and surveillance, at first I found his critique of the regime to be too infantile. Some of the earlier scenes seemed too staged, too insistent in the Panahi-as-martyr message to allow the audience to believe they were real people and not stock characters. A scene with Panahi’s adorably haughty niece Hana, played by his reallife niece Hana Saeidi, begins with her telling him she has an assignment for her film class in school, then detailing all of the restrictions she faces: not filming “improper” relations between the sexes, not allowing the hero to dress in a Western fashion and staying away from “sordid realism.” It seemed too obvious a comment on the government’s actions against Panahi, and the message of his art seems lost in the banality of the allegory. At one point, Hana tries to complete her assignment by filming a poor street boy returning money a wedding couple has dropped as they embark
on their honeymoon. Hana bullies the boy, who works as a garbage collector, into returning the money on camera, but the couple urges him to keep it. Disappointed in the lack of a storybook ending, she puts her camera down, frustrated with a film too full of “sordid realism.” It’s an effective scene, even if the comparison seems unsubtle.
storybook endings, with chaste relations between the sexes, avoiding true, “sordid” depictions of life in Iran. Through scenes like this, Panahi’s sheer anger seeps into the otherwise bemusing film. It’s visible in the scorn on a schoolteacher’s stare, the shaking of a cheap camera, the blood on a dying man’s face.
Despite the drastic circumstances of Panahi’s struggle with censorship and surveillance, at first I found his critique of the regime to be too infantile. On my second viewing of “Taxi,” I realized the true nature of Panahi’s critique, the reason he chose to infantilize the government through the scenes with his niece, the reason that the conversations felt stilted and staged. The object of Panahi’s critique was the sheer banality and infantility of the regime, its childish insistence on plots with
The very nature of his taxicab-shot film is an act of resistance against the regime’s forbidding him from making movies: while Panahi shot “This Is Not a Film” secretly at his home, “Taxi” navigated the ban by coyly announcing itself in public: shot on the run, staying in no place for more than five minutes, but at the same time, it’s shot outside, in broad daylight,
in conversation with the citizens of Tehran and the people that populate Panahi’s daily life. One of the most disturbing references to this undertone of surveillance and pursuit is during Panahi’s conversation with a disbarred human rights lawyer. They both related experiences of being forbidden from their jobs and being interrogated by government agents while blindfolded. Panahi revealed after his interrogation he can’t help but constantly keep scanning behind his back, listening if someone he meets on the street or as a waiter in the cafe has the voice of his captor. Irony and absurdity abound in equal measure when one passenger reveals himself to be a bootleg film dealer that supplies Panahi’s family. Another pair of old women demand to be rushed to a spring, revealing only after much consternation they are headed there simply to return two goldfish. Much of the comedy also results from how bad of a driver Panahi turns out to be; he’s frequently forced to refer his passengers to other cabbies when he doesn’t know directions and ends up giving half of his pas-
sengers free rides as apologies. The comedy abruptly turns to drama, however, when a pounding of hands on his window reveals a seriously injured man, dictating his will to Panahi’s phone camera as his sobbing wife keeps him talking, and Panahi desperately tries to reach a hospital in time. Since “This Is Not a Film,” Panahi’s anger has clearly not dulled, only grown. A clear means of understanding this development is the recurring figure of the trash collector. In “This Is Not a Film,” the boy picking up litter in Panahi’s neighborhood performs the film’s final act of resistance by lighting trash on fire in the street and jumping over it to celebrate the night before the Persian new year, in defiance of the president’s orders against any festivities. In Taxi, the trash collector boy remains silenced, discarded by Hana as an improper plot veers too close to realism. Through this silencing, Panahi’s rage at a government portrayed as oppressive, immature and banal all at once becomes beautifully, dangerously clear.

50diamonds branches out Company films music video on Green Street BY NATALIE STEWART STAFF WRITER
F
rom taking pictures to shooting music videos, 50Diamonds has grown a lot since its founding nearly two years ago. Elijah Okpogie, senior
in ACES and 50Diamonds founder, said there is a lot in store for the expanding company with the birth of its new branch, “Multimedia and Creativ,� or MMC, centered around entertainment and music. “Our slogan is to be creative, and if we can spell creative without the ‘e,’ it looks better, so why not?� Okpogie said. Okpogie said the main goal is to build a student
community for music. “There are a lot of artists, talented artists, in Champaign. Student artists also,� he said. “But people in our area don’t feel comfortable coming out like artists or doing what they really like because there is no community out here, and I’m trying to build it.� One of the first productions this new branch of 50Diamonds released is a music video for University student and “Afro-Trap� music artist Samuel Ogunkoya, or as he is better known by his stage name, Samkul. “It was real easy, as in, we came together, talked about the different ideas we had for the video,� Ogunkoya said. “We waited a couple of months to make sure we had a good amount of inputs on the video, and we just had made it happen. We got the right people around us.� The majority of the video was filmed on Illinois’ iconic Green Street. “It was pretty cool because first of all you get
to show people outside of the University our street, like, how beautiful it could be and how beautiful it is,� Ogunkoya said. “I thought that was a great opportunity because I have friends from other schools and people who watch the video and they’re like, ‘Oh, yo, that’s the street you’re always talking about.’� Cain Camacho, freshmen in DGS and the video’s primary videographer, said the shoot was one of a kind and a first for him. “The experience was really amazing. I’ve never done a video shoot like that,� Camacho said. “So many cool guys. We were having fun, and I wasn’t even thinking about the work I was doing. It was just like pure fun I was experiencing.� Familiarity a nd relatability is what makes Samkul’s video “Juice� unique and is the reason why it garnered so many views on YouTube, according to Okpogie. “We got over 20,000 views now because the people in the video, people can relate
to like, ‘ Oh, I know that guy,’� said Okpogie. Although “Juice� is the first video MMC produced, the public can expect much more from the company in the upcoming semester, including its very own concert featuring the artists it manages. “The team can see ourselves doing videos for possibly bigger artists and also extending our business to other colleges,� Camacho said. Okpogie bel ieves 50Diamonds could start the wave of music in C-U. “I have so much hope in this because I look everybody in the face, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, they really want it; they have something to add to it,’� Okpogie said. “We just don’t (want) to include anybody that wants to ride a wave. We have to create a wave. So I know we’re going to make it because we’re going to create a wave. We’re different.�

Tunnel of Oppression offers different perspective BY ROBIN DEAN STAFF WRITER
Six-second videos on Vine. 10 -second videos on Snapchat. 15 -second videos on Instagram.

Takeaways from the Franczek Radelet report BY DECLAN HARTY AND MASAKI SUGIMOTO MANAGING EDITOR AND ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The University released the results of Chicagobased law firm Franczek Radelet’s lengthy investigation into the athletic department on Monday. The report explored the department’s handlings of sports injuries and accusations from student-athletes in the football and women’s basketball programs. The release came adjoined with the resignation of now-former Athletic Director Mike Thomas, who wasn’t found to be on the wrong side of any of the accusations in the report. Yet, Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson dismissed Thomas, citing “distractions” in the athletic department The report has left two of the most prominent positions in the athletic departments with “interim” preceeding their titles: athletic director and head football coach. Now Paul Kowalczyk looks to take over Thomas’ duties as the report continues to fuel criticism toward former head football coach Tim Beckman and other members of the athletic department. The report is a culmination of more than 100 interviews, more than 200,000 documents and is precisely 1,267 pages. According to a Freedom of Information Act request, both the prior investigation and the Franczek Radelet investigation cost more than $1 million — and that total is from before Beckman was dismissed. Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson said that they have not calculated the total cost of the investigation from Franczek Radelet. The Daily Illini explored the report; here’s our top 10 takeaways from the report:
1. Tim Beckman Beckman was at the center of the report. The report named the 50 -year-old coach as the primary issue surrounding the allegations about the football program. Beckman pushed his players beyond what most felt
was in the best interest of the players. One team physician described Beckman’s approach as “berating” by using names like “pussy” and “bitch” in reference to players. Additionally, Beckman used purple jerseys for players who lost in drills or were injured, to represent Northwestern, which Beckman continued to symbolize as Illinois’ principle rival.
2. Scholarships were threatened The report found that Beckman threatened players who performed poorly with removal of their scholarships, but never actually removed their scholarships until they had finished playing. A total of four football players had their scholarships removed unwillingly. These players had finished their four years on the football team and were eligible to graduate after the fall semester, but wanted to stay another semester to complete a particular aspect of their education. Beckman convinced the players to relinquish those scholarships and leave early so he could award the scholarships to other players.
3. Simon Cvijanovic Cvijanovic was the catalyst to Beckman’s eventual fall in late August, which resulted in Thomas’ firing. After Cvijanovic went on a Twitter tirade accusing Beckman and the athletic department of mistreatment and mishandling of student-athletes, the University launched its investigation into the accusations. The report found that the majority of Cvijanovic’s accusations were accurate.
4. The reporter cleared women’s basketball head coach Matt Bollant Bollant, who is currently named in a pending lawsuit from seven former women’s basketball players, conducted the proper handling of injuries along with athletic trainers assigned to the team. The lawsuit alleges that Bollant and former associate head coach Mike

New interim Athletic Director Paul Kowalczyk addresses the media on Monday at Memorial Stadium after the University announced his appointment to the position after firing Mike Thomas. Divilbiss forced players to play through minor and severe injuries and subjected them to racism. Divilbiss left the program in May.
5. Physical altercations existed While there are many contradictory stories surrounding the allegations of physical altercations, the report discovered one instance where Beckman possibly held down a player in what some described as a fight, while others didn’t. The report concluded that the force was appropriate. Beckman also said he didn’t believe in hamstring injuries. Whether or not he was joking, players took the statements as reality, causing a culture where players were afraid of reporting hamstring injuries to the training staff.
6. Athletic trainers left because of studentathlete treatment There were several ath-
letic trainers who left the program, citing that Beckman was hard to work with. Beckman would try to interfere with medical decisions on injuries, as well as encouraging players not to report injuries. There were six athletic trainers for the football team from 2012 to 2015, and five of the six were hired under Beckman. Interim AD Paul Kowalczyk took over control of sports medicine in August 2015 amidst the allegations of mistreatment by coaches and team trainers.
7. Treatment methods for spine, neck and head injuries were questionable The report said Beckman also tried to intervene with more serious injuries. Beckman suggested that players with spine neck and head injuries were fine, and urged them to play. Beckman referenced his own neck injuries in college that he played through to foster
a culture of toughness and playing through injury. One of Beckman’s players suffered a spine injury and was told by Beckman to “move his head” while lying on the field after the injury.
8. Mike Thomas was not associated with mistreatment Thomas was not knowingly associated with any of the mistreatment for either program. Regardless, interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson made the decision to fire Thomas, citing that he was a “distraction.” Thomas’ buyout will cost the University $2.5 million. “I understand the chancellor’s viewpoint that my continued presence may create an ongoing distraction for our students, coaches and staff, and I accept the situation.” said Mike Thomas in a statement Monday.
9. Former athletic trainer
Toby Harkins agreed with Beckman’s philosophy Beckman’s culture of belittling injuries was further supported by Toby Harkins. Harkins was the athletic trainer who most agreed to Beckman’s philosophy. Harkins was let go by the university after not being liscensed by the state of Illinois in his first eight months. Harkins helped belittle the injury and make it a dangerous environment for players.
10. Assistant football coaches were found in opposition to Beckman’s philosophy The report said that assistant coaches were not found of any wrongdoing. The only situations cited were those of misunderstanding between the coaches and players, or the actions had little to no impact.

Cubit reacts to dismissal of athletic director BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER
The Illinois football investigations were hanging over head coach Bill Cubit’s and the heads of the rest of the team since former player Simon Cvijanovic made allegations against former head coach Tim Beckman in May. The preliminary findings of the investigation resulted in the firing of Beckman in August for player mistreatment and withholding scholarships. But when Cubit heard the news of the firing of Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas on Monday morning, it was almost anti-climactic. Cubit called Thomas and thanked him for the opportunity and for the good treatment he received during his three years at Illinois. He glanced over the 1,200-page investigation for two minutes to see if his assistants were cleared — they were. Cubit knew everything he needed to know. He met with his coaching staff, and the group didn’t talk about what happened in the morning. They watched tape of their 48-14 win over Purdue and moved on to the next task: Ohio State. “I’ve been in this business for so long, you take a step back,” Cubit said. “Mike, just like everyone else here, have been really good to me. I cannot say that during my three years here that I had a bad experience with anybody here … The first thing you do is what am I going to do for these student-athletes?” The interim head coach has always answered questions in a respectable manner during his time in his current role. He’s made the media laugh and boosted the confidence of students, alumni and fans. He’s been professional after Beckman was fired a week before the season and was

Coach Bill Cubit shares stern words during the game against Middle Tennessee State at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 26. so during Monday’s press conference. Cubit, like everyone else on his staff, was cleared of any wrongdoing when the University released Chicago law firm Franczek Radelet’s investigation findings. The investigation described how Beckman mistreated players: belittling them when they sought medical treatment and threatening to take away players’ scholarships. When he was asked if he had witnessed any of the wrongdoings Beckman was accused of, Cubit said he had not, mentioning he hears almost nothing during practices because he is on his headset reading a list of plays.
Although Thomas was found innocent of any w rongdoi ng, I nter i m Chancellor Barbara Wilson thought there were too many distractions in the department and felt it was right to dismiss Thomas. The investigation and the firings have surrounded the team this season in the eyes of the fans and the media. Cubit said it hasn’t been any distraction in the locker room because of the investigation. “None,” Cubit said. “I know the outside looks at it, the inside looks at it and gets to work. I know that sounds crazy with everything that’s been going on, but I can honestly say that’s all we do … If I waste five
minutes on doing something other than getting these student athletes ready, I’m not doing my job.” For some players, the news came a surprise, since Thomas was not accused of any wrongdoing. Quarterback Wes Lunt said the team knew the report was going to come out some time during the season, and there was nothing they could do. They could only wish for the best for Thomas and his family. In a season filled with off-the-field headlines, for veteran players like running back Josh Ferguson — who’s gone through two coach firings —, the change of athletic director has lit-
tle effect on him. “At this point, it’s hard not (to be numb to the news),” Ferguson said. “With a new athletic director, there’s a potential of wanting to bring in a new head coach, and I hope there is a way we can keep some continuity in the program because we’re headed in the right direction, and coach Cubit has done a great job.” Neither Wilson nor Interim Athletic Director Paul Kowalczyk commented on whether Cubit would return next season. Both were proud of the work he’s done this season but said a decision won’t be made until the end of the season. Cubit couldn’t help but
laugh when he was asked if a win over Ohio State would guarantee him the job. He knows that he will waste time dreaming about that scenario. The only way for Cubit to make that dream a reality is going back to a principle that he’s exemplified throughout the season. “If I take away from (how our kids fight), then I’m not doing my job,” Cubit said. “I’m not going to do that. I’m just going to keep fighting until whenever (his departure) happens, and I’m hoping it’s not for a long time. I’m battling, I’m fighting.”

Illini defense makes a comeback against Boilermakers BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER
While Illinois football’s running back Josh Ferguson was the star of his team’s 48-14 win at Purdue on Saturday, the defense made sure to do its job so that the margin would never be close. The defensive players responded against the Boilermakers after allowing 39 points to Penn State the week before. Illinois knew it couldn’t allow another performance such as the one in College Park, Pennsylvania, and made sure it played a near-perfect game. “We had some good contain,” safety Clayton Fejedelem said. “The linebackers played great, the defensive line created pressure and the secondary, we let a couple balls slip — I’m a victim of one of those — but we had opportunities and made plays.” Illinois created pressure on last week’s Big Ten Player of the Week David Blough, who threw for 274 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for an additional 82 against Nebraska. The Illini contained Blough for much of the game: the freshman had little time to find open receivers and wasn’t given the opportunity to curl around and run down the field. Blough finished with 174 passing yards, a touchdown and two interceptions — one each by Taylor Barton and Jevaris Little.
Linebacker T.J. Neal led the team with three tackles for loss while Fejedelem added two more and led the team with 13 total and 12 solo tackles. The Boilermakers couldn’t find any holes in the Illini line and finished with 89 yards on the ground. The defensive group has shown great improvements compared to the past few season and has lived up to different challenges, but the players know that they can’t dwell on their current success. “There was a lot of communication,” defensive end Jihad Ward said. “Once we execute, punch him right in the mouth, things go right. We have a lot of work to do still and we need to focus on Ohio State.”
Lunt cramps up Quarterback Wes Lunt had Illinois fans worried when he ran back to the locker room just before the start of the second half. The junior left with a thumb cramp to his throwing hand and had to go to the locker room to get an IV. Lunt came back into the game, looked fine and joked about it after the game. “It was weird,” Lunt said. “I was just warming up and about ready to go in but every time I threw a followed through, my thumb, the whole finger would cramp up, and I couldn’t open my hand.” Backup quarterback

Defensive back Clayton Fedejelem takes down Purdue quarterback David Blough during the game at Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday. Chayce Crouch came into the game and on his first play in, he had a 17-yard run. Crouch also threw a 19-yard pass to Ferguson and a 25-yard pass to Desmond Cain — the quarterback finished with 44 passing yards and 45 rushing yards in 11 plays. Head coach Bill Cubit was surprised when Lunt was forced to leave the game but
knew Crouch could handle the pressure. “You have to give Chayce credit,” Cubit said. “He made a couple mistakes and completed a pass but he did have a couple of nice runs and Wes was set and all ready to go.”
Cain finally comes through It’s been a rough season for freshman wide receiver Des-
mond Cain, who has been one of the wide receivers forced to contribute early because of injuries to Mike Dudek and Justin Hardee. But Cain had his breakout game against Purdue. The freshman led the team with 74 receiving yards and caught his first career touchdown. Cain has been part of a group that has dropped over
40 passes during the season but has showed that the confidence the coaching staff has shown him is worth the trust. “Des is a very shifty guy,” Lunt said. “He’s been really close in every game in taking that next step and today he took it.”

Power rankings DAILY ILLINI FOOTBALL STAFF
Editor’s note: Every week, The Daily Illini football staff ranks the football teams in the Big Ten 1-14 and compiles the lists into its own Big Ten power rankings.
1.OHIO STATE (LAST WEEK: 1) — The No. 3 Buckeyes managed to stay perfect despite a mediocre performance against Minnesota in their 28-14 win. Cardale Jones threw for 187 yards and one touchdown. He also ran for 65 yards and added another touchdown with his legs while Ezekiel Elliott ran for 114 yards and a touchdown. 2. IOWA (3) — C.J. Beathard helped the No. 7 Hawkeyes avoid disaster in Bloomington, Indiana, in Iowa’s 35-27 win over Indiana. The junior stayed in the game after injuring his back on a touchdown run and threw a 10-yard touchdown pass with 6:03 left in the game. 3. MICHIGAN (4) — Jake Rudock had a career day in No. 15 Michigan’s 49-16 win over Rutgers. The quarterback threw for two touchdowns, a career-high 337 yards and ran for a touchdown. 4. MICHIGAN STATE (2) — A questionable call
at the end of the No. 14 Spartans’ 39-38 loss to Nebraska might’ve made the difference. Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong connected with Brandon Reilly for a touchdown that was reviewed — Reilly stepped out of bounds before receiving the pass, but the referees claimed that he was pushed out, and the play wasn’t overturned. Connor Cook couldn’t get the ball out of his hands on the last play of the game and ended the contest with an incomplete pass.
5. WISCONSIN (5) — The No. 24 Badgers bounced back from a poor first half in Wisconsin’s 31-24 win over Maryland. Joel Stave threw for 188 yards and a touchdown while Tanner McEvoy had two interceptions. 6. NORTHWESTERN (7) — Jack Mitchell gave the No. 22 Wildcats the 23-21 win over Penn State by nailing a 35-yard field goal with nine seconds left in the game.

Ferguson made a big difference in the Illini’s 48-14 won over Purdue. The senior running back ran for 133 yards and had 41 yards receiving. Secondstring running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn ran for 180 yards and with 23 receiving yards.
9. MINNESOTA (8) — Mitch Leidner tried to
lead a fourth-quarter comeback against Ohio State, scoring 14 points, but the effort fell short. The junior threw for 281 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the 28-14 loss.

Poulter regains starting setter position BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER
Illinois freshman Jordyn Poulter returned to the starting setter position Saturday after she was replaced a week earlier by senior Alexis Viliunas. Poulter was put into the match against Northwestern on Wednesday. When she came in, the Illini were down 23-20 in the third set. The team would go on to lose the set but managed to come back and win the match in five sets. On Saturday, Poulter recorded 47 assists and 16 digs, and the team hit .239 off her in its second win over the Wildcats. Head coach Kevin Hambly was satisfied with Poulter’s play for the most part, but there were times when she made freshman
mistakes. “I think sometimes in transition and at the end of the third set, she got a little anxious and rushed some things,” Hambly said. “All in all, I liked her energy and the way we played. We hit good numbers off of her, so I feel pretty good about that.”
Stadick returns to form against the Wildcats Middle blocker Katie Stadick had one of her best games of the season in Saturday’s game. She was a major contributor in the team’s season-high 19.5 blocks, recording a season-high 10 blocks in the match. It was the first time she posted over five blocks since recording seven against Maryland on Sept. 25.Hambly said Stadick held her own against Northwest-
ern’s Symone Abbott, the team’s kills leader. He said that Abbott was unable to find her rhythm throughout the match, and Stadick was a big reason for that. “I thought Katie Stadick did the best job blocking she has done in the last month and a half,” Hambly said. “She has been trying to figure out some things, and has been struggling. She made some great moves on Abbott after Abbott stopped testing (Naya Crittenden).”
Illinois tripped up in third set In what was an otherwise stellar outing for the Illini, the Wildcats managed to avoid a sweep with a narrow third-set victory. Northwestern built a 23-18 lead, before Illinois made a
6-1 run to tie the match at 24. Outside hitter Jocelynn Birks said the team let up in the middle of the set, which is something the team struggled with in its earlier losses this season. “We don’t want to let up when we are ahead or not taking the pressure off,” Birks said. “That’s something we started the fourth set thinking about. I thought we did a pretty good job with that through the rest of the fourth set.” Hambly said the team’s 10 errors were the main reason for losing the set, and he was pleased with the way the players cleaned up their game in the fourth and final set. The Illini made just four errors in the deciding set.

10. NEBRASKA (12) — The Cornhuskers pulled off the unthinkable in Lincoln, Nebraska. Armstrong Jr. led a 98-yard drive in 38 seconds which included the controversial pass to Reilly. 11. INDIANA (10) — The Hoosiers hung in there with unbeaten Iowa but couldn’t finish in their 35-27 loss. Nate Sudfeld threw for 180 yards, a touchdown and an interception while Jordan Howard ran for 174 yards and two touchdowns. 12. MARYLAND (13) — Interim head coach
Mike Locksley and his team kept it close with Wisconsin but couldn’t hold off the Badgers off at home in a 31-24 loss. Perry Hills and Caleb Rowe split quarterback duties and each threw a touchdown and an interception.
13. PURDUE (11) — Things got bad for the Boilermakers a week after their win 55-45 over Nebraska. Purdue allowed 382 rushing yards and 213 passing yards while David Blough threw for 174 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in the 48-14 loss. 14. RUTGERS (14) — A difficult season
continues for the Scarlet Knights after their 49-16 loss to Michigan. Chris Laviano threw for 97 yards and an interception while the defense allowed 337 passing yards.

Illinois hockey welcomes back key players BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER
After several weeks of playing without multiple key players, the Illinois hockey team seems to be getting over its injury bug. Captain John Olen, forward Mike Fischer, center Josh Belmont, defensemen Austin Zima and winger Kyle Varzino are all planning on returning to the ice this weekend against Iowa State. Fischer has been out since the first weekend of the season with a broken collarbone. Belmont, who took a puck to the face during a practice, is waiting to be cleared. Zima will await clearance from a back specialist and Varzino is recovering from a lingering knee injury. The return of Olen will be big for the Illini offense. Olen leads the Illini with 34 points last season. In his second season as captain, Olen has only played in four games — he recorded one goal and one assist in that span. The star forward broke his ankle in the series against Alabama. Olen skated with the team during warm ups before both games against Indiana this weekend but did not play in either game. His return will be noticeable in the locker room. “Everybody in the room is excited for him to come back,” Fabbrini said. “Anytime you get a leading scorer and a captain back, everybody gets a boost. We all know he can be a big difference maker for us.”
Mcging’s tough decision Illinois’ left wing James Mcging is as unselfish as they come. He said he will pass up any shot to give his teammates a good look at the net. But on Saturday night, in the waning minutes of Illinois’ 5-2 victory over Indiana, Mcging was faced with a situation that would normally go against his better judgement.
James Mcging puts a shot on goal during the game against Indiane at the Ice Arena on Saturday. Indiana, down two goals at the time, attempted one final push and pulled its goalie. The Illini defended the Indiana attack, and the Hoosiers turned the puck over to who else but Mcging. Mcging broke out into open ice, and the only thing in front of him was an empty net. He had no teammates to pass to, and no defenders in his way. Mcging went on
to take the shot, scoring the goal that iced the win. It was Mcging’s third goal on the season. “I thought about missing on purpose honestly, to keep my ratio (of goals to assists) low,” Mcging said. “I also thought about passing it off the boards and into the goal.”
Stueve working to earn team’s approval
Forward Grant Stueve has been a key contributor to the Illini all season. He currently has the fourth most points on the team with 10. He has scored six goals and racked up four assists. His six goals are tied for second on the team with fellow forward Shaunak Pal and Belmont. Stueve scored two goals
in Saturday’s win against Indiana. Both goals came on power plays. The second goal came halfway through the second period and gave the Illini a three goal lead entering the third period. Stueve has recorded at least one point in six games this year Despite these numbers, Stueve is still looking to get approval from his team-

mates. After the Illini victory on Saturday, during Stueve’s personal interview, one of his teammates in the back of the locker room said, “Stueve sucks!” The remark was met with cheers from all of his teammates, and Stueve just hung his head.

Wheelchair basketball teams lose at home BY THOMAS POLCYN STAFF WRITER
In their first home tournament of the season, both the men and women’s wheelchair basketball teams failed to win a game. The Illini Classic featured three teams: the Milwaukee Bucks, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) and the Illini. In game, one of the Illini women’s weekend, they squared up with the RIC men’s team. Due to a rough shooting day, the Illini lost 47-26. Kendra Zeman led the Illini with nine points and came up just short of her first double-double of the year, recording 11 rebounds. For their second game the Illini women faced another difficult challenge against the Milwaukee Bucks men’s team. They dropped that game by a score of 63-40 but improved their output on offense. Gail Gaeng came back
from a tough first game and put up 17 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Zeman had another very strong game with 11 points and six rebounds. The team scoring output has not necessarily come together yet, but some of the players are starting to click heading into their college tournaments. “Gail Gaeng stood out to me,” women’s head coach Stephanie Wheeler said. “In the first game she struggled with her ball handling but she really owned it and made sure to control the ball more in the second game.” Wheeler also thought Zeman stood out. “She’s our big post player and she bounced back strong from a tough weekend in Canada,” Wheeler said. The men also got off to a slow start in game one against the Milwaukee Bucks. They also faced a problem with scoring, as
they shot just 20-for-51 as a team. Mak Nong led in scoring with 11 points to go along with five rebounds. In game two, the Illini men faced the RIC men’s team and ended up losing by a score of 43-41. The offense still seemed to struggle, but the Illini played solid enough defense to keep it a tight game. After trailing by 11 the Illini cut the deficit down to one but could not close out the victory. The Illini are still being led by assistant coach Katie Rogeau. Head coach Matt Buchi is coaching the USA men’s developmental team in Japan. The Illini will now have a two-week break before they head to Wisc onsi n -W h itewater to play in the defending national champions’ home tournament.

llinois delivering a beatdown in its first and only exhibition game to Division-II Illinois-Springfield Sunday was expected. The Prairie Stars put pressure on the Illini at times, but didn’t have the talent to keep up for a full 40 minutes. Illinois won 104-68 in the first game at its temporary home away from home at Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield. But while the outcome was nearly predetermined, one of the main catalyst’s efforts behind the Illini throttling was not, at least if you listened to this columnist in the days leading up to the game. Freshman Jalen ColemanLands had a team-high 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting Sunday, nailing five three-pointers with his silkysmooth shooting stroke. Just a few days ago, he hadn’t even fully participated in practice due to his ongoing recovery from a stress fracture in his leg. I thought it was doubtful ColemanLands would see the floor in Sunday’s scrimmage, much less get enough minutes to lead all scorers. According to Illinois head coach John Groce, Coleman-Lands returned to full activity in just two practices before Sunday’s game. I shouldn’t have underestimated the Illini’s highest-rated freshman. Despite heavy legs due to large amounts of summer inactivity during his recovery, Coleman-Lands sparked an Illini scoring blitz after his team was tied
at 23 with seven minutes remaining in the first half. His pair of threes helped open up a 44-26 Illinois lead in the first frame, and he poured in eight more points in the second half to cement his impressive Illini debut. Though ColemanLands’ performance came against soft competition, it’s still extremely eye-opening under the circumstances. A freshman filling it up is always noteworthy, but Coleman-Lands did it without the benefit of proper preparation over the last four months due to injury. His shooting touch definitely didn’t abandon him during his rehab, and it will carry him while the rest of his game — defense and conditioning — catches up with added reps. Coleman-Lands wasn’t
Illinois-Springfield head coach Bill Walker pointed out after the game that Hill probably could have scored 30 if he tried. Senior transfer Khalid Lewis was 3-for-3 on three-point attempts in a 13-point effort and was solid backing up starting point guard Jaylon Tate. Still, Groce wasn’t completely thrilled with his team’s play, pointing out after the game that it fluctuated between good and sloppy at times. “It was just kind of feast or famine,” Groce said. “We need to get that cleaned up.” Groce also challenged Illini fans to fill the 7,700-seat Convention Center for their next four games in Springfield. The announced crowd for Sunday’s exhibition was 5,833, but it didn’t look like more than 3,500 people — which included Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner — actually showed up to the downtown arena in Illinois’ capital city. Those in attendance never got especially boisterous, even with alcohol sales presumably boosting the spirits of patrons. It seemed like everyone, even Springfield natives, was getting accustomed to seeing the Illini play a home game in such an unfamiliar setting. A setting which, with its cozy dimensions and low roof, is conducive to a raucous environment for basketball. As attendance spikes and the stakes rise Friday with the arrival of the first regular season game against North Florida, the Prairie Capital Convention Center will begin to feel more like home for the Illini.
A freshman filling it up is always noteworthy, but Coleman-Lands did it without the benefit of proper preparation over the last four months due to injury. the only Illini freshman to ball out Sunday. D.J. Williams and Aaron Jordan were both in the starting lineup, and Jordan put up 16 points to Williams’ seven. Both looked ready to contribute in some capacity this year, and the performances from all three true freshmen were nothing short of encouraging. Each of Groce’s upperclassmen had positive moments, headlined by senior center Mike Thorne Jr.’s 16 points and nine rebounds. Malcolm Hill added 10 points, though

Lewis fitting in for Illinois men’s basketball Groce looks for graduatetransfer to contribute
type of contributor he can be. In 24 minutes off the bench, he posted 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting and four assists, and it was one of his three 3-pointers in the fi rst half that sparked a 17-0 Illini run. Groce said players haven’t subbed out much during practice because of the team’s long list of injuries, which has allowed Lewis and the other fresh faces to develop quicker than usual. “We’re a different team right now,” Groce said. “The one thing that has happened is (injuries) have benefi tted the newcomers like Khalid Lewis. That has really accelerated their growth and development and hopefully that will be a good thing for us moving forward.” Lewis started 18 games for LaSalle last season and fi nished the year averaging six points, two assists and two rebounds per game. His value comes from his ability to run the offense, and Lewis seems like the right fit for Groce’s pickand-roll-orientated system. In each of the last two seasons, Illinois has fi nished fourth nationally in the amount of plays fi nished out of the pick-and-roll — last season, Lewis ranked in the 82nd percentile of pick-and-roll efficiency. “Khalid has some of those natural instincts,” Groce said. Even more important than the stats he can put up or his natural ability is Lewis’ ability to lead the team on and off the court. As one of the older players on the team, Lewis will be looked to provide stability for a young Illinois team. As one of the longest tenured Illini, junior forward Malcolm Hill has already given Lewis a strong stamp of approval. “I love Khalid,” Hill said. “He just wants to win. I call him the dad of the team because he speaks his mind. He’s not scared to say anything to anybody and we need that. I think he’s going to be a really good leader, and I think he’s fitting in well.”
BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
There will be a lot of newness for the Illinois men’s basketball team this season — new opponents, newly renovated stadium and even a new public address announcer, Tim Sinclair. Most noticeably, though, the Illini will rely on a handful of new faces. With three freshmen and two graduate-transfers all likely to receive large chunks of minutes in the early stages of the season, this is not your father’s, or even your Illini. One of the unfamiliar names that Sinclair will announce throughout the year belongs to fi fth-year guard Khalid Lewis. A graduate-transfer out of LaSalle, Lewis committed to Illinois not long after Tracy Abrams’ injury and will provide immediate backcourt depth. Since the 6-foot-3 guard joined the team, head coach John Groce has had nothing but praise for Lewis. “Lewis, thank goodness, is a very quick study and he picks things up very quickly,” Groce said. “He’s a very competitive kid, he’s a very tough kid, he cares and he’s worked very hard to learn and get a lot better. I’m really excited about him, he’s certainly exceeded my expectations.” Lewis joined the team after their multi-week trip to Europe, so the ILLINI ALL-IN scrimmage at the end of October provided his fi rst opportunity to impress. He fi nished with just four points and one assist, but his presence as a ball-handler was apparent. It was during Illinois’ fi rst exhibition game against UIS on Sunday when Lewis really showed the
