Tri-service ceremony hosted on campus raises awareness BY ZIKE CHENG STAFF WRITER

Members of the University’s Army, Marine and Air Force Reserve Officers’ Training Corps dressed in uniform lined up in traditional military formations at the Armory for a ceremony honoring veterans on Sunday afternoon. The students joined forces for the Tri-Service ROTC Veterans Day Ceremony. The event featured a color guard, a wreath-laying ceremony by senior cadets and midshipmen and a 21-gun salute by seven Naval ROTC midshipmen. Jack Dempsey, executive director of Facilities & Services and a veteran of the United States Naval Engineering Corps, presented a speech at the ceremony. He talked about a brief history of the Armory as well as the

Hnyla said, as an ROTC instructor, he thinks the ceremony can drive people’s awareness back to veterans. “We are here because of our veterans,” he said. “We have these freedoms because of our veterans. I think that’s the least we can do.” Capt. J.D. Haugen, commanding officer and Naval Battalion, said the ceremony also offered an opportunity for midshipmen in the ROTC to learn from veterans of their respective forces. “It’s also an opportunity for the veteran students to come out and visit with the midshipmen, give them some guidance and hopefully some mutual understanding of what they can expect when

Voter turnout on campus decreases About 46 percent of those registered showed up to vote DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Low voter turnout on campus this year followed the nationwide trend, said Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten . “We were hoping we’d be an outlier,” Hulten said. Just over 46 percent of registered voters showed up to vote at campus precincts, lower than the 49.1 percent campus turnout in 2008. It is also more than 10 percent lower than the 57.5 percent national voter turnout that was estimated by Curtis

Gans , director of American University’s Center for the Study of the American Electorate. A precise count is unavailable due to the millions of ballots that have yet to be counted. Voter turnout on campus ranged from 38.8 percent at the University YMCA to 65.9 percent at Daniels Graduate Residence Hall . It was also low compared to the city of Champaign and county-wide percentage of voters, which have both increased since the 2008 election; the percentage of voters who participated in the 2012 election in Champaign County the turnout was 69.3 percent. “It’s kind of one of those things we have noticed since

the beginning of the semester... We didn’t even hit our voter registration numbers that we wanted to hit,” said Shana Harrison, president of Illini Democrats. Turnout on campus may be low because many students vote in their hometown, said Despina Batson, president of College Republicans. In the polling precinct area surrounding Lincoln Avenue Residence Hall , turnout decreased from 65.5 percent in 2008, to 49.41 percent this year. Turnout also decreased from 55.1 percent in 2008 to 45.27 percent this year in the polling precinct surrounding Illinois Street Residence Hall . In the area surrounding Pennsylvania

Avenue Residence Hall , turnout decreased from 56.9 percent in 2008 to 41.1 percent While voter turnout did remain low on campus, city of Champaign precincts 2 and 3, where voting took place at the McKinley Presbyterian Church and Foundation , saw an increase this year. The city of Champaign precinct 2 saw a significant increase from 37.6 percent in 2008 to 66.1 percent this year. Turnout in City of Champaign precinct 3 increased from 39.39 percent in 2008 to 53.5 percent this year.

Gill concedes race 3 days after election District 13 congressional race one of the closest in the country BY CHRISSY PAWLOWSKI STAFF WRITER

Democrat David Gill conceded the District 13 congressional race Friday evening to Republican Rodney Davis. “It has become clear to me, based on the numbers I’ve seen, that there are simply not enough uncounted ballots remaining to wipe out the current 1,287-vote deficit I face in this election,” Gill said.

Gill received 135,309 votes, Davis accumulated 136,596 votes and independent John Hartman received 21,241 votes. Even though the race was called Tuesday, Gill said he believed Davis’ 1-percent lead made it too close for him to concede. In a news release, Gill said the race in Macon County was one of the closest in the country. “The closeness of this race, less than one half percentage point, demanded that we diligently check the numbers,” Gill said in the release. The Davis campaign issued a release later that

Union protests new proposals BY EMMA WEISSMANN STAFF WRITER

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

A member of SEIU Local 73 talks to a camera during a protest that took place at 4:30 p.m. at the corner of Kirby and Oak on Thursday.

Members of the Service Employees International Union, or SEIU Local 73, are protesting recent University proposals that would alter vacation and daysoff policies for some unionized employees. One University proposal calls for campus mail messengers to work on Christmas and Thanksgiving days, among other national holidays. Another proposal would require Building Service Workers and Food Service Workers to schedule vacations one year in advance, while only being able to use vacation days earned up to the point of scheduling, according to an SEIU press release. The union and the University are negotiating these two proposals during ongoing bi-weekly meetings, said Robin Kaler, campus spokeswoman. The SEIU represents approximately 25,000 public employees in Illinois and Northwest

Indiana, including eight hundred University employees, said Ricky Baldwin, SEIU’s senior field organizer. “The whole point of negotiations is to propose different possible sets of wages, benefits and working conditions, with the goal of settling on a set that is deemed as the most agreeable to both sides,” Kaler said. She said the wages for mail messengers are non-negotiable, but “tied to an outside collective bargaining agreement.” “The University was inclined to offer these employees holidays that were similar to the holidays afforded to other prevailing (wage) rate employees,” Kaler said. According to policies under the State Universities Civil Service System, employees in prevailing wage rate groups are excused from work on holidays observed by the employer and may still have a chance for compensation. Regarding the change in vacation day policies for Building

and Food Service Workers, Kaler said the University is making “every effort to accommodate individual employee’s requests for vacation and personal leave, while also taking into consideration any competing requests by other employees, as well as the operational needs of the University.” Union members, employees and their supporters held two pickets Thursday to protest these proposals. Baldwin said the picketing may continue on a weekly basis, and he said he hopes the University takes notice. All employees are currently still working, and Baldwin said a decision has not been made on whether or not the employees will go on strike. “We’re going to be requesting a federal mediator pretty soon,” Baldwin said. “We’ve discussed all the proposals. It’s not that there’s not more to discuss — there is — but we think that a mediator can help us. The University is digging in their heels,

and we don’t frankly understand that.” Kaler said the University is anticipating that it will reach an agreement with the union workers, and there “won’t be a need for a strike.” “We’ll continue to bargain in good faith. We’ve made good progress together so far, and we’re optimistic that we’ll continue to reach agreements going forward,” Kaler said. Scott Johnson, a Building Service Worker, has been with the University since April. He said he wanted to come out and show his support Thursday because he believes the University will take note if the employees’ voices are stronger together. “I’ve seen what happens, if the workers don’t have a voice. The ones at the bottom are the fi rst to lose,” Johnson said. “Just realize we’re here. We don’t resent doing what we do, we take pride in what we do.”

NIU police chief charged with withholding evidence from BY JASON KEYSER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Northern Illinois University placed its police chief on administrative leave Saturday and said it will fire another officer over the department’s handling of a sexual assault case, which has prompted allegations of misconduct. The university announced that police chief Donald Grady was placed on leave pending

the fi nalization of charges and disciplinary actions under the terms of his employment as well as university policies. NIU also said police Lt. Kartik Ramakrishnan, who investigated the sexual assault case, was notified that the university intends to fire him. A DeKalb County judge said during a Nov. 2 hearing that Ramakrishnan intentionally withheld evidence in the case of a former NIU police officer

accused of sexually assaulting a student at the school in October 2011. Judge Robbin Stuckert found that Ramakrishnan had witness statements from two of the victim’s friends, who said she had a consensual relationship with the officer charged, yet he failed to hand them over to prosecutors and defense attorneys. Ramakrishnan told the court that he mistakenly put the

statements in the accused officer’s internal personnel file. “The fi ndings of the court called into question the integrity of the criminal investigatory process, and we cannot under any circumstances tolerate such clear breaches of contracts, authority and responsibility,” said NIU President John Peters. “Although it pains me greatly that the university had to take these actions today, we must always

strive to do the right thing.” Grady did not return a phone message seeking comment Saturday. A man who answered the phone at a listing for Ramakrishnan refused to comment. Former officer Andrew Rifkin is charged with felony sexual assault in the case. He has pleaded not guilty. On Friday, Judge Stuckert refused to throw out the case

despite finding investigators intentionally withheld evidence, ruling that the actions were not damaging enough to drop the charges. She said jurors would be told of the alleged misconduct by the NIU police. The university has also appointed a new acting director of public safety to oversee the police force. He spent the day meeting with police department representatives.

Sandy victims disgusted by power company’s response BY CHRISTINA REXRODE AND VERENA DOBNIK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — New Yorkers railed Sunday against a utility that has lagged behind others in restoring power two weeks after the superstorm that socked the region, criticizing its slow pace as well as a dearth of information. About 120,000 customers in New York and New Jersey remained without power Sunday, including tens of thousands of homes and businesses that were too damaged to connect to power even if it was running in their neighborhood. More than 8 million lost power during the storm, and some during a later nor’easter. Separately, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano visited with disaster-relief workers Sunday in Staten Island’s Midland Beach neighborhood, which is still devastated two weeks after Sandy hit. The lack of power restoration for a relative few in the densely populated region at the heart of the storm reinforced Sandy’s fractured effect on the area: tragic and vicious to some, merely a nuisance to others. Perhaps none of the utilities have drawn criticism as widespread, or as harsh, as the Long Island Power Authority. Nearly 50,000 of the homes and businesses it serves were still without power Sunday evening, and 55,000 more couldn’t safely connect even though their local grids were back online because their wiring and other equipment had been flooded. It would need to be repaired

or inspected before those homes could regain power, LIPA said. “We certainly understand the frustration that’s out there,” LIPA’s chief operating officer, Michael Hervey, said in a conference call late Sunday. But, he said, the storm had been worse than expected, no utility had as many workers in place beforehand as it would have liked, and the power was coming back rapidly “compared to the damage that’s been incurred.” Customers told of calling LIPA multiple times a day for updates and getting no answer, or contradictory advice. “I was so disgusted the other night,” said Carrie Baram of Baldwin Harbor, who said she calls the utility three times a day. “I was up till midnight, but nobody bothered to answer the telephone.” Baram, 56, said she and her husband, Bob, go to the mall to charge their cellphones, and Bob, a sales manager, goes there to work. They trekked to her parents’ house to shower. At night, they huddle under a pile of blankets and listen to the sound of fire engines, which Baram assumes are blaring because people have been accidentally setting blazes with their generators. “It’s dark,” said an exasperated Baram, “it’s frightening, and it’s freezing.” LIPA has said it knows that customers aren’t getting the information they need, partly because of an outdated information technology system that it is updating. Sunday, executives said they were working on setting up infor-

mation centers near the most heavily damaged areas. The company also said it had deployed 6,400 linemen to work on restoring power, compared to 200 on a normal day. “’They’re working on it, they’re working on it’ — that would be their common response,” Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano said Sunday, describing LIPA’s interaction with his office. He said LIPA had failed to answer even simple questions from its customers and that Sandy’s magnitude wasn’t an excuse. “How could a utility of that size, with the financial support that it receives, fail to communicate with its residents?” he said. “Its basic logistics seem to have failed.” Mangano and other lawmakers have called for the federal government to step in and assist with restoring power to Long Island, saying LIPA could not be trusted to get the job done. On Sunday, LIPA said it had restored power to 95 percent of homes and businesses where it was safe to receive power and that that figure would be 99 percent by the end of Tuesday. It didn’t give an estimate for the remaining customers. “When we’re done, we will look at any improvements we need to make in the process,” Hervey said. “My appeal to those customers is once the crews arrive, stand back and let them get their work done.” Phillip Jones, 43, a parole officer in Uniondale, said he had called LIPA about 10 times a day before his power was turned on Saturday and usually just got a busy signal. A few times he got a recording say-

negotiations with the GEO have been ongoing since April, but the pattern and timing of these negotiations closely mirror the 2009 contract negotiations, Kaler said. “It’s very similar to negotiations with other unions on our campus — it’s common that contracts expire before a new agreement is reached,” she said. “When that happens, both sides generally continue to abide by the terms of the expired agreement until a new agreement is reached.”

SPRINGFIELD — So much for the fear and loathing over anonymous fat cats buying elections, at least this year. The Democrats’ near sweep of last week’s congressional races in Illinois might give big-spending super PACs pause. Sixty percent of the nearly $45 million poured into the Illinois races by independent political committees went to losing campaigns as Democrats knocked out four Republican incumbents, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data. In all, the committees — which have few or no cash-flow restrictions — spent more money on Illinois House races this fall than in any state but California. Experts say it shows that quality candidates who have sound messages — and who are willing to knock on doors and shake hands with voters — still matter. Money is important, but not the holy grail. “People with money beat people without money, but the person with the most money doesn’t always win,” said Kent Redfield, a campaign finance expert at the University of Illinois at Spring-

field. “Getting outspent 2-to-1 isn’t fatal if your 1 is big enough.” In four of the state’s six hotly contested House races, the losing candidate received more money from so-called “independent expenditure” committees than the winner, according to the analysis of Federal Election Commission data. The most lopsided example was the race between GOP Rep. Joe Walsh and Tammy Duckworth, a Democrat and Iraq war veteran who failed in a past attempt to reach Congress. Walsh, a freshman Tea Party favorite, benefited from $5.9 million spent by outside committees on campaign ads and other efforts either in support of his bid or against Duckworth. The total for Duckworth, who won, was just $701,000, though Duckworth raised considerably more than Walsh on her own. Independent expenditure money comprises two basic groups. There are the well-publicized “super” Political Action Committees which recently won the right in court rulings to raise and spend money without limits. Party PACs also can be considered part of the category; they have limits on raising money, but not on spending it.

The catch is they cannot “coordinate” with a candidate. In other words, they can make a TV commercial backing one hopeful or send mail bashing an opponent, but it cannot be part of a strategy planned with a candidate. In other races, Democrat Brad Schneider unseated Republican Rep. Robert Dold with less than half the outside money spent on behalf of the incumbent. Seven-term GOP Rep. Judy Biggert was unseated by former Rep. Bill Foster despite having 16 percent more outside money. And former state Adjutant General William Enyart beat Republican Jason Plummer with nearly $900,000 less from the outside. Thanking her supporters on Election Night, Duckworth said, “You stood with me when others tried to buy this election.” “What we’re seeing is small contributions are more powerful than millionaires being able to fund super PACs,” said Brian Imus of Illinois PIRG, an advocacy group. Whether the super PACs agree will play out over the next few election cycles, Redfield said. But this year’s results might make them reconsider how they spend their money, he added.

Educators should not sway voters

Editorial

Voters gain power to determine state laws on social issues

oters cast ballots last Tuesday for who they wanted to see as the next president, but they also decided on several controversial issues, like recreational marijuana use legalization and marriage equality, in several states. To say the least, last Tuesday was a productive day. Voters in Colorado and Washington approved referendums to legalize recreational marijuana use. Meanwhile, voters in Washington, Maryland and Maine voted to legalize same-sex marriage. Minnesota voters also rejected an amendment banning same-sex marriage. This marks the first time in American history that voters — rather than the courts and legislatures— have directly said to legalize gay marriage. Although the majority of voters based their decisions on the economy and health care, social issues were still prominent. Enacting such sweeping federal laws can be difficult to implement and can be met with more hostility and opposition than a state’s passage of such a law. Laws passed by states are more apt to make legislative decisions based more closely on constituent opinion, whereas a federal representative or senator are more likely to make decisions based on personal ideologies and philosophies because their constituencies are so large and diverse. By keeping the initial legislation on controversial issues like marijuana legalization and marriage equality at the state level, voters and the federal government can use it as somewhat of a case study. States are uniquely equipped to deal with social issues. It’s easier for voters to overturn a measure that doesn’t work. A law’s utility or success can be seen in a more isolated case at the state level than at the federal level, such that if the law fails, its consequence can generally only be felt by the state itself. But it’s reductive to see states as simply experimental playgrounds for legislation because these laws reflect what the people want — laws are not always passed to be a strong message to the federal government, but they can be. While it’s great that these states’ vote to make marijuana legal and grant same-sex marriages, the law only reaches as far as the states’ borders. You can’t transport marijuana purchased in Colorado to Wyoming without legal consequence, and same-sex marriage granted in Maine will not be recognized in Utah. The only way that laws like this can cross state lines is if the law is uniform across the country, like it is with the drinking age, or if the federal government enacts the law. While marijuana still needs more of a trial period to judge its effectiveness, same-sex marriage has been proven to work. The groundwork has been lain, and it’s high time for President Obama to make good on his word that homosexual citizens can marry, be it in Utah, Missouri or New York. As controversial as these issues are for millions of people for hundreds of reasons, the popularity of making them legal is gaining momentum. They will continue to work their way up the bureaucratic ladder in this country until they reach the national level. The people in these states are speaking clearly, and now they just need to be heard nationally.

“D

all want the same end — affordable tuition. So let’s talk to our trustees and local government officials about ways to defray costs. Let’s write to our senators and ask them to spend our money responsibly. Let’s question where our fees are going and secure that we have a more positive future ... and let’s do that as an undivided unit. The outcome of an election is always going to put one party in the forefront, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that one side should feel superior to another. There are problems, like the economy, that will be problems to us all, regardless of who’s in office. Republicans and conservatives, the world is not coming to an end, America is not dying, and there is no need to secede from the United States. And to Democrats and liberals, enjoy your victory. but don’t gloat. We’re not coming into four years of unicorns, rainbows and intense surpluses. In the next four years, who knows what may happen? We may see some improvements in our economy and feel alright with Obama’s successor taking office. We may see a calmer, more moderate conservative run for office and have a couple of terms with a Republican president. But either way, we need to make peace with our outcome. There are some things we can’t change. But one thing we can do is work together, left and right, to try and make us all happy to be in this country.

espite Obama victory, billionaire hasn’t fired anyone yet.” Now there’s a headline for you. The billionaire in question is David Siegel, who became momentarily famous (again) after sending an email to his employees last month, stating: “The economy doesn’t currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration.” His letter provoked the usual partisan bickering. Staunchly pro-business groups defended his comments, while many others, both liberal and conservative, criticized him for unduly influencing his employees’ votes. Were it not for a brief remark commenting on the story, I might have dismissed it as the ramblings of an eccentric egotist. But this remark asked, why do people who care so much about Siegel’s email not care about teachers who try to influence their students’ votes? The remark was yet more partisan bickering, but at least bickering that provoked some real thought: We do often treat teachers and employers as existing in wholly different political spheres. In our democratic process, we naturally have an aversion to anyone who threatens, “Vote this way, or else I will make bad things happen to you.” No student should ever feel that they risk being punished if they do not agree with the political views of their teacher. Same goes for employees and their employers. Another’s ability to influence our vote should begin and end at their ability to convince us that their viewpoint is better. This is not to say that everyone in a position of power needs to strap duct tape over their mouth and go silent through the political season. Back in 2010, after the University proposed draconian rules in 2008 on the political lives of teachers — and provoking jokes of the “Bumper sticker brigade” as a result — I wrote that teachers have the right to be political individuals, but not to take up their students’ valuable time to deliver a partisan rant. Teachers have a necessary role to play in politics, but one that needs to exist outside of the classroom. Siegel, and employers in general, has a role to play in politics, but one that again needs to exist outside of the workplace. In fact, had Siegel made his argument almost anywhere else, the furor over his comments would have been minor. He could have written a letter to the editor, given a speech at a Romney rally or done what most people who have too much money and the desire to influence votes do and buy advertisements. But he didn’t. He sent one email expressly targeting his own employees. That turned his argument from persuasive to threatening, from, “If Obama wins, my business is in trouble,” to, “If Obama wins, your jobs are in trouble.” Some of Siegel’s supporters argued that Siegel, as a businessman, knew the likely impacts of an Obama re-election and had the duty to inform his employees of that. But if there is an argument along those lines to be made, Siegel did not make it. He argued with the capriciousness of a teacher who gives out A’s and F’s depending on whether their student voted D or R: He made it about his own choice. He said if Obama was re-elected and raised the tax rate, then he would choose to fire his employees and retire — not be forced to retire, but choose to retire. Suppose instead that there were a proposed law on the ballot that would outlaw the time-sharing businesses of the type Siegel runs. There’s no choice; there’s no question: If the law passes, the company is gone. In this case, the company does have a duty to inform its employees of the danger to their livelihood. After all, businessmen, just as much as educators, have an important viewpoint on politics. They know, perhaps better than anyone else which laws are getting in the way of expanding their operations, which laws are helping them out and which laws will force them to shut their doors. They should have a voice, and we should listen. But that is we the public, not we the employees. We the public are not beholden to that particular employer for our livelihood. There is no “or else” to hang menacingly over our heads. So, to that remark on the Internet that sparked this: No, I do not feel there is a sizable difference between Siegel’s actions and teachers who try to influence their students’ votes. Except, that is, on one point. Teachers might sway their students votes toward what they believe is right — a misguided attempt to do what they feel is best for everyone — although rarely would these issues directly impact the teacher. Siegel tried to sway his employees’ votes toward what would be best for him personally.

Start holiday season early this year by giving back to others KIRSTEN KELLER Opinions columnist

used to have a policy that I would not listen to holiday music until after Thanksgiving. It seemed like the right thing to do, for otherwise Thanksgiving would be forgotten amidst the Toys ‘R’ Us ads and Bing Crosby’s White Christmas. But then I realized a weird thing happening. All the holidays after Thanksgiving were being forgotten. I remember as a little kid thinking the holiday season dragged on. It seemed like the Advent calendar took ages to get through. I watched every holiday movie we owned twice. But in the past six years especially, I’ve desperately tried to cling on to every moment of the ‘joyous’ holiday feeling between the end November and the end of December. And those moments have been few and far between. With classes and finals and the little things we have to do every day, there is hardly any room to appreciate the holiday season and to anticipate its arrival. Thus, this year, I owe Thanksgiving an apology. I started listening to holiday music on Nov. 1. My roommate and I have fragranced our room with evergreen air fresheners and have paper snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. I’ve broken out my red and green flannel shirt that makes

me look like a walking gift. And have I gotten chastised for this? You bet I have. But my intention is not to forget Thanksgiving. In my mind, Nov. 1 is the start of the holiday season, and for me, Thanksgiving and Christmas are my two holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and all other holidays are about being thankful for what we have and the people who surround us. But I bet many people, surely with exceptions, haven’t stopped to think what they are thankful for in the beginning of this holiday season. Thanksgiving is 10 days away. Sure, some people probably plan on giving their thanks at the dinner table on Nov. 22. But I want to start before that. I think we need to start before that. College is a time when we are constantly focused on ourselves — our major, our goals, our career path — and it’s easy to put ourselves on top of the pedestal. What is healthy is to take the time to stop worrying about ourselves and turn our attention to others in whatever way we can. As much as I love decorating and listening to holiday music, this is not the only way to get that fantastic holiday feeling that we had when we were five years old. As with most things that come with age, a little more effort is

necessary on our parts. I encourage everyone to look for ways, big or little, that they can give back this holiday season. This is a way to make others’ days brighter, as well as a way to feel like you are taking part in something that is bigger than yourself. Try putting together a Thanksgiving meal for a needy family. Until Wednesday, you can register with the Office of Volunteer programs to donate a basket with the makings for a Thanksgiving meal. Starting Wednesday, The Salvation Army starts their season of bell ringing, and they are looking for volunteers to keep the “kettles” manned. Send a holiday card to an old friend. Drop in on an old teacher or professor and wish them happy holidays. And start all of this now. Honestly, it’s never too early to spread some holiday cheer. But it easily becomes too late. While life is crazy and hectic, it’s important at this time to think about all that we do have and to be thankful for that, and to seek out ways to make others thankful as well. So with that, happy holidays. And crank up that Bing Crosby.

Honestly, it’s never too early to spread some holiday cheer. But it easily becomes too late.

Political parties shouldn’t separate us TOLU TAIWO Opinions columnist

So.

Another election has come and gone. If you’re anything like me, you followed the election coverage on Tuesday night. Besides getting exasperated that certain states were taking forever to get their numbers in (I’m looking at you, Florida), you may have strong feelings about the outcome, whether your emotions ranged from running up and down Green street in victory to drinking your sorrows away. A couple of days after the election, I saw a post on Facebook for the Tumblr site “White People Mourning Romney.” Being the Tumblr junkie that I am, I clicked on it and found that I had hit the comedic jackpot. The title is pretty self-explanatory — there are white people, and they are upset — but it doesn’t do the site justice for the hilarity of the magnitude of the mourning. Pictures of die-hard Republicans stress eating, crying and holding each other in sorrow fill the pages. And that doesn’t even hold a candle to some of the sad texts and Facebook statuses on the site, my favorite being the petition for Louisiana to “withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.” It’s all very dramatic. However, I came home later that day to my roommate frantically looking for pictures and

videos online. When I asked her what she was doing, she told me that she was looking for pictures of Democrats mourning when their candidate didn’t make president. “Because,” she said, “everyone is commenting on how over-thetop Republicans are being now, but I don’t think that’s a Republican thing. I just think that’s the feeling of losing.” My first thought was to tell her to lighten up and look at pictures of angry Twitter feeds with me. Laughing at people losing their minds over something like this is funny. But after a second, I realized I was being as melodramatic as some of the people on the Tumblr. My friend was absolutely right. Would Obama-voters have been as upset if Romney had been the winner? Would they have called their moms, sighing about how the conservatives had “won,” lamenting over the good old days when Obama was in office? Yes. And the fact that one “side” has to feel that they lost out so badly is a problem. It’s hindering our ability to work together. We’re divided at a time when we need to rebuild together; we’re clutching our Kleenex or doing a victory dance when we should be talking compromise. I’m not naive. There are some issues that we will be split on. But it shouldn’t matter because there are some things that we can aim to fix as a whole. We as a country are in deep debt right now, and it is affecting us college students. Though the means may be different from party to party, we, as college students,

Medical marijuana is packaged for sale in 1-gram packages at the Northwest Patient Resource Center medical marijuana dispensary Wednesday in Seattle. Colorado and Washington became the first states to allow possession of up to 1 ounce of legal pot for recreational use, but they are likely to face resistance from federal regulations.

Pot referendums may be turning point in drug law BY KRISTEN WYATT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER — Should marijuana be treated like alcohol? Or should it remain in the same legal category as heroin and the most dangerous drugs? Votes this week by Colorado and Washington to allow adult marijuana possession have prompted what could be a turning point in the nation’s confl icted and confusing war on drugs. Colorado’s governor and attorney general spoke by phone Friday with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, with no signal whether the U.S. Justice Department would sue to block

the marijuana measures. Both states are holding off on plans to regulate and tax the drug while waiting to see whether the Justice Department would assert federal authority over drug law. Meanwhile, prosecutors in Washington’s largest counties dropped all pending misdemeanor cases of marijuana possession Friday in response to that state’s vote to legalize the drug. The Obama administration has largely turned a blind eye to the 17 states that currently fl out federal drug law by allowing people with certain medical conditions to use pot, something

that is banned under federal law. A spokesman for Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said during Friday’s talks, state offi cials asked Holder for the federal government’s response to the marijuana vote but didn’t get one. The Colorado officia ls “emphasized the need for the federal government to articulate what its position will be. ... Everyone shared a sense of urgency and agreed to continue talking about the issue,” spokesman Eric Brown wrote in an email. No date for further talks was announced, he said.

Pilot stripped of license, must get permission to go on another flight BY BETSY BLANEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AMARILLO, Texas — A JetBlue Airways captain who ran through the cabin of a crosscountry flight yelling about religion and terrorists was prohibited Friday from flying or keeping his pilot’s license and now faces what could be the difficult task of finding work after being released from a prison medical facility. Clayton Osbon was released more than seven months after a March flight from New York to Las Vegas during which passengers said the 49-year-old pilot left the cockpit and ran through the cabin yelling about Jesus and alQaida. The flight was diverted and safely landed in Amarillo, Texas.

Osbon was charged with interference with a fl ight crew. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity after a forensic neuropsychologist testified in a short, unpublicized trial that Osbon had a “brief psychotic disorder” brought on by lack of sleep. Reports on Osbon’s psychiatric evaluations over the past several months have been sealed. Osbon remains a JetBlue employee on inactive duty, but conditions set Friday by U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson say he is not allowed on board any domestic or international fl ight without permission from the judge or his probation officer and he must forego his license. The conditions also say he must

fi nd regular work, unless his probation officer approves schooling or training instead. Defense attorney Dean Roper said he did not know what sort of employment Osbon might pursue. Osbon also is not allowed to communicate with anyone on the flight he disrupted and must participate in a treatment program for alcohol, drug and narcotic dependency, according to the judge’s order. “This is a bad situation for you and your family, but you are fortunate to have the type of immediate support that you have,” said Robinson, who could have committed Osbon to a mental health facility.

Student veterans embrace campus life About 400 veterans at Illinois adapt to studying, campus culture BY BECKY ZILIS STAFF WRITER

From the dusty Middle East to Champaign’s autumn leaves and nights out on Green Street, student veterans face a unique transformation to university life. About 400 student veterans are enrolled at the University and are often so integrated into the campus that their stories remain unknown. Elizabeth Ambros, junior in AHS, was discharged from her eight years of military service last Friday. After serving six years in the Navy and two years in Inactive Reserves, Ambros, 26, finally can aggressively pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. Ambros planned to finish her Bachelor’s degree while in the Navy, but quickly realized that her busy days of duty and nights filled with classes left no time for sleep. “It wasn’t like the picture the recruiters painted,” Ambros said. Though she struggled with the fact that she might have already completed medical school if she had gone straight into college, Ambros wouldn’t change her decision to join the Navy. “I am who I am today, and I’m pretty much a badass,” she said. After getting deployed to Iraq to work on a medical team with Marines, Ambros came to the University with a year of credits in her back pocket and the focus of a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman. Once on campus, she was surprised to find her classmates were not always as prepared and attentive as her military peers. “When I first got here, it was hard for me to transition because I wasn’t used to the disrespect that (students) showed the professor,” Ambros said.

She was confused as to why the freshmen and sophomores who sat next to her in class were dressed in pajamas with their attention in places other than the front of the lecture hall. Ambros learned to adapt to the studying routine and the differences between military and campus culture despite the benefits and struggles of the transition. Dr. Nicholas Osborne, assistant dean of students and head of Veterans Student Support Services, works one-on-one with each incoming student veteran. During these meetings, he said most veterans on campus also share the same struggles as Ambros. “Getting back into an academic environment can be challenging, not only in self-confidence, but also skills go rusty,” Osborne said. When high school and college are broken up by a Tour in Iraq or Afghanistan, studying at the library can feel like a foreign task. “The toughest thing is getting the gears oiled again and getting back in the swing of studying all the time,” said John Milas, sophomore in LAS. Milas, who is a Marine, is spending his first semester on campus and has found it quite easy to adapt to campus life. He looks forward to the day he is discharged from Inactive Duty in 2016 and is pursing a career in film. He worked in the logistics field as a Landing Support Specialist who helped helicopters land, and spent time in the Mediterranean and Afghanistan. Milas notices the differences between himself and his peers on Facebook, while Ambros is

sometimes angered by comments and discussions surrounding the military that take place in class. Ambros mentioned that many student veterans like herself do a very good job of blending into the general student body, though they are often a few years older than their classmates. “Some students need to be aware that they’re not going to know when we’re sitting right next to them,” Ambros said. She wants students to recognize that they are normal people who are trying to do the same things, like become a doctor or engineer. “A lot of student veterans relate to me that they have struggles with relating to other students,” she said. Osborne feels that sharing a classroom with student veterans is a valuable experience, as they have diverse backgrounds that others can learn from. “I think it’s important for faculty and students to know that student veterans are coming here with a very diverse and rich series of life experiences,” Osborne said. Like a large number of student veterans on campus, both Ambros and Milas found a place in the Illini Veterans organization. This active social and philanthropic RSO provides a place where veterans can relate to their peers. “There’s a big stigma that all veterans do is get together and get drunk, but Illini Veterans group is trying to do a lot,” Milas said. Both Ambros and Milas wonder if they would have the same drive and motivation as they do today if they had not spent time serving their country. But more than anything, Milas said, they’re “just normal people like everybody else.”

Nation pays tribute, honors veterans BY CHRISTINA HOAG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — From sea to shining sea, the nation paid tribute to its members of the armed services Sunday, both with somber traditions such as a Virginia wreath-laying ceremony attended by President Barack Obama to honor those who didn’t make it back from active duty, and more lighthearted perks including redcarpet treatment at Las Vegas casinos for those who did. Sunday marked the official commemoration of Veterans Day, but the federal holiday will be observed Monday. President Barack Obama laid the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia and noted that this is the first Veterans Day in a decade with no American troops fighting and dying in Iraq, and that a decade of war in Afghanistan is coming to a close. In a speech at the Memorial Amphitheater, he said America

will never forget the sacrifice made by its veterans and their families. “No ceremony or parade, no hug or handshake is enough to truly honor that service,” the president said, adding that the country must commit every day “to serving you as well as you’ve served us.” He spoke of the Sept. 11 generation, “who stepped forward when the Towers fell, and in the years since have stepped into history, writing one of the greatest chapters in military service our country has ever known.” Over the next few years, he said, more than 1 million service members will make the transition to civilian life. “As they come home, it falls to us, their fellow citizens, to be there for them and their families, not just now but always.” Later, the president and his wife, first lady Michelle Obama, and Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, greeted families in the cemetery’s Section 60, home to

graves of service members killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Chicago’s National Veterans Art Museum unveiled its latest exhibit called “Welcome Home” as it celebrated its grand reopening in a new location. “’Welcome home’ is the customary message given to soldiers returning from war,” a museum statement said. “After this initial greeting, familiarity dissolves and the traumas of war surface. Veterans set out to relearn the world they left behind, and their family meets a transformed person.” The exhibit is part of a series that examines the ongoing war in Afghanistan and the rising need for mental health care for returning veterans The museum has more than 2,500 works of veterans’ art with the mission of inspiring greater understanding of the real impact of war with an emphasis on Vietnam. The museum focuses art inspired by combat and created by veterans.

‘Skyfall’ takes top spot at box office BY DAVID GERMAIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — James Bond’s “Skyfall” has extended its worldwide box-office rule to North America, hauling in a franchiserecord $87.8 million in its first weekend at U.S. theaters. Adding in $2.2 million from Thursday night previews at IMAX and other large-format theaters, “Skyfall” has taken in $90 million domestically, according to studio estimates Sunday. That lifts the worldwide total for “Skyfall” to $518.6 million since it began rolling out overseas in late October. Internationally, the 23rd Bond flick added $89 million this weekend to raise its overseas revenue to $428.6 million. The third installment starring Daniel Craig as British super-spy Bond, “Skyfall” outdid the $67.5 million U.S. debut of 2008’s “Quantum of Solace,” the franchise’s previous best opening. “Skyfall” more than doubled the $40.8 million debut of Craig’s first Bond film, 2006’s “Casino Royale.” “Skyfall” already has passed the $407.7 million overseas total for “Quantum of Solace” and by Monday, it will top the $432.2 million international haul for “Casino Royale.” The Craig era has reinvigorated one of Hollywood’s most-enduring franchises, whose first big-screen Bond adventure, “Dr. No,” debuted

50 years ago. “It’s quite a testament to Bond, considering it’s the 50th anniversary. What a great anniversary present,” said Rory Bruer, head of distribution at Sony, which produces the Bond films along with MGM. “Skyfall” was the weekend’s only new wide release, but Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln” had a huge start in a handful of theaters. Starring Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th president, “Lincoln” took in $900,000 in 11 theaters for a whopping average of $81,818 a cinema. By comparison, “Skyfall” averaged $25,050 in 3,505 theaters. “Lincoln” centers on the months leading up to the president’s assassination in April 1865, as he maneuvers to pass the 13th amendment abolishing slavery and end the Civil War. Distributor Disney will expand “Lincoln” into nationwide release of about 1,600 theaters Friday and may widen the film further over Thanksgiving week. The film has strong Academy Awards prospects for two-time directing winner Spielberg, twotime acting recipient Day-Lewis and the rest of the cast, which includes Oscar winners Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones. “The performances are some of the greatest of recent time,” said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney. “I don’t know if you’re ever going to think about it again

Daniel is extraordinary in the role.” “Skyfall” took over the top spot at the weekend box office from Disney’s animated comedy “Wreck-It Ralph,” which fell to No. 2 with $33.1 million, raising

its domestic total to $93.7 million. While “Skyfall” marked a new high for Bond’s opening-weekend revenue, the film has a long way to go to match the biggest audiences 007 has ever drawn. Adjusted for inflation, Sean Connery’s 1965 Bond adventure “Thunder-

ball” would have taken in an estimated $508 million domestically in today’s dollars, with its 1964 predecessor “Goldfinger” not far behind at $444 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood. com. The Bond films over the last two

decades have come in around the $200 million range domestically in inflation-adjusted dollars. While “Quantum of Solace” had a so-so critical reception, “Skyfall” and “Casino Royale” are among the best-reviewed Bond films.

Soccer remains victorious at NCAAs BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER

The first round of the NCAA tournament was decided like an old-fashion wild-west shoot out. After 90 minutes of regulation and two 10-minute overtime periods, Illinois goalkeeper Steph Panozzo stood on her line in the goal box and Missouri senior Haley Krentz was 36 feet away from Panozzo at the penalty kick spot. The two previous attempts by the Tigers had been blocked by Panozzo, while Illini Taylore Peterson and Kassidy Brown had found the back of the net against Missouri’s McKenzie Sauerwein. With only five shots allowed, the Tigers had to make the third attempt in order to continue. Krentz took two steps backward and then one to the left, lining up her shot. She struck the ball just above Panozzo, but hit the top crossbar bouncing behind the goal. Freshman Aliina Weykamp sealed the victory for the Illini, making the third and final penalty shot needed to advance. Illinois defeated Missouri 3-0 in penalty kicks. The Illini recently found themselves in a similar situation against Minnesota during the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament, where they also advanced 3-2. There was a mutual feeling among the Illini before the penalty kicks began. “I think we were really confident,” senior Shayla Mutz said. “Steph is awesome at PKs and she’s confident, which makes the rest of the team confident. I think it’s very important to have a keeper that is so confident in her own abilities that she spreads that positive energy to the rest of the team. Once she made that first save, there was an overall feeling of, ‘We are going to win this.’” With the wind whipping across their backs during the first half, the Illini were the first on the board in the 19th minute with junior Allie Osoba’s third tally of the season. After recovering the ball, Mutz dribbled up the field to the top of the Tiger’s 18-yard box. When pressured, she passed the ball to her right, where Osoba connected with it mid-stride. Osoba then struck the ball hard and on the ground into the lower-left corner of the net, giving Illinois its only goal of the match. “Allie is one of the unsung heroes, especially in the latter part of this season,” Illinois head coach Janet Rayfield said. “Just when she was really starting to catch her stride, she had a hamstring injury. I think fighting her way back from that has been a challenge, but she is such a smart player and has done such a great job of holding the ball for us. Now she’s starting to find her confidence in front of the goal.” The Tigers started the second half with offensive energy, outshooting Illinois 17-6, leading into the equalizing goal. The Illini maintained the lead until the 53rd minute, when Missouri’s Danielle Nottingham received a pass 22 yards out from Illinois’ goal and with the wind at her back, released a shot that ricocheted off of the right post and into the goal. After the tally, Missouri had four consecutive attacking plays, two of which resulted in close call shot attempts. “They’re really athletic and really fast,” Mutz said. “Also with them having the wind in the second half, it was just a matter of grinding it out. I think as whole defensively we did a really good job of playing ugly soccer when necessary, but getting it out and maintaining and holding our own.” At the end of 90 minutes, the score remained 1-1, resulting in two 10-minute overtime periods. Missouri outshot Illinois again 5-3, but neither team

BAD BLOOD ON THE ICE BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

Tensions flare between Illini and Lions in weekend series

Illini still searching for consistency, momentum

Fighting is illegal in college hockey. But apparently no one told Illinois and Lindenwood. The two rivals squared off on the ice this past weekend with a history of bad blood between the perennial contenders. After a peaceful Friday game in which just one penalty was assessed the whole game, Saturday exploded and tensions and frustrations flared. When the game was over, eight players were ejected and a slew of suspensions and disciplinary action are pending from the ACHA. With Lindenwood up 4-2 in the second period, freshman John Olen made a beeline across the ice and threw a vicious elbow to the jaw of a Lindenwood player, leaving him down on the ice for some time. The freshman Olen was given a five-minute major and ejected from the game. Things really escalated to bar fight levels in the third period, with the Lions up comfortably 6-2. After scoring a third period goal, Lin-

All season long, the Illinois hockey team has searched for consistency. After its two games against Lindenwood this weekend, the Illini are still searching. No. 7 Illinois (11-4-2) split the pair of games against No. 10 Lindenwood (5-6-3) and looked like two completely different teams in the separate games. Friday’s contest was a success for the Illini, powering their way to a 5-3 victory. In spite of some defensive letdowns in the second period, the Illinois offense controlled the play and put pressure on the Lions all game long. The five Illini goals were netted by five different players. The fireworks started right from the drop of the puck, when not even 100 seconds into the game, senior forward Nick Stuercke wrapped around the net and left the puck in front of the net for Mario Pacheco to hammer home the goal to put Illinois up 1-0. “Against a good team like that, you definitely want to get on the board first,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. Holding a 2-0 lead after the first period, Illinois played a much sloppier second period. Defensive lapses in the middle of the period for Illinois allowed Lindenwood to tie up the game with two goals in 1:25 of play. However, the Illini would respond in turn just 37 seconds later when defenseman J.T. Turner knocked one off the post and in to give Illinois a lead it would not relinquish. “You saw the momentum with the crowd,” forward John Scully said. “They were up and then down. ... You can’t get too high or too low.” “I told the guys after the game, we’ve got to back it up (Saturday),” Fabbrini said. “(Friday’s) win doesn’t mean a whole lot in the grand

Men’s basketball rains 3-pointers in opener

Illini volleyball beaten by Buckeyes in close finish

STAFF WRITER

The Illinois men’s basketball team opened its season Friday in silence. A 3-pointer by Tracy Abrams gave Illinois a 3-0 lead over the visiting Colgate, and two more 3-pointers by Brandon Paul and Tyler Griffey increased the lead to 9-3. Yet Assembly Hall was eerily silent, except for a few muffled cheers and members of the Orange Krush whispering not to make noise. Finally, Myke Henry connected from 3-point range for the team’s 12th point, and the crowd of 14,683 erupted, signaling a successful debut of Orange Hush as a tribute to head coach John Groce’s alma mater, Taylor University. Groce’s other debut, Illinois’ regular season opener, was successful, too, as Illinois defeated Colgate 75-55 Friday night. Groce said his first career win as the Illini head coach was a substantially better performance from the previous two exhibition games. “They were as disappointed as I was in the way that we played for the 40 minutes last Sunday (against West Chester),” Groce said. “We asked them to compete and play hard for 40 minutes and play unselfishly. I think we took strides in those areas at a high level.” Illinois surged ahead in the first half behind a barrage of 3-pointers, making 13 on 30 attempts for the game. The 13 3-pointers were two more than last year’s season-high

It was a familiar feeling for the Illinois volleyball team Saturday night — the all-too familiar pain of a five-set loss. Illinois was unable to convert on a match point in the fifth set and paid the price as the Buckeyes battled back to take the set and the match. The Illini outscored the Buckeyes on the night, 23-25, 25-16, 23-25, 25-16, 15-17. “We played hard, we played well. We just didn’t win it,” Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly said. “We didn’t finish at the end. We actually played the best we have, I think, in a long, long time. We just couldn’t close the deal at the end.” Liz McMahon led Illinois in kills with 20, while Jocelynn Birks added 16 kills on .136 hitting. Despite the low hitting percentage, Hambly was pleased with his redshirt freshman’s performance. “She was good, actually,” he said. “They tried to shut her down, and she made one hitting error the whole night. They blocked her a few times, which we’ll take that.” Illinois dropped the first set, falling behind 12-5 after a 6-0

The Illini made a run at the end of the set, as five straight points tied the score at 22, but the momentum was stopped by Ohio State’s Kaitlyn Leary, as the junior had two kills and a block to seal the set. The Illini used a 5-0 run to jump on the Buckeyes early in the second set, and they never relinquished control, leading all the way to a 25-16 victory to tie the match 1-1. The third set went back and forth, with neither team able to mount a significant run. When Illinois finally created some separation with a 4-1 run to make it 19-16, Ohio State responded with a 4-1 run of its own to tie the score at 20. The teams continued trading points until the score was tied at 23, when two Mari Hole kills gave Ohio State a 2-1 set advantage. The Buckeyes carried momentum into the fourth set, where they surged ahead, 4-1. Sensing the anxiety in his team, Hambly called a timeout. The Orange and Blue responded with a 7-1 run of their own.

Illinois defeats Evansville in season opener BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

Matt Bollant started off his tenure at Illinois the same way he has everywhere he has coached: with a win. Bollant became the fourth women’s basketball head coach in Illinois history to win his first game with Sunday’s 84-52 victory over Evansville. “It’s rewarding,” said Bollant, who was an assistant coach at Evansville from 1997-2000, helping them to the 1999 NCAA tournament. “That’s probably the hardest thing as a coach is the first game with all of the unknowns.” “A lot of head coaches go into the first game with a lot of fear, and I didn’t. I went into today with a lot of confidence.” After two exhibitions in which the Illini outscored their opponents 209-66, Bollant had every right to be confident, but Evansville, who finished 5-25 last season, presented more of a challenge. The Illini got off to a slow start, leading 12-8 at the 10-minute mark and 38-25 at the half. Illinois started slow because of early foul trouble. The Illini committed 13 first-half fouls, including 11 by their starting five. Sophomore point guard Alexis Smith and junior forward Kersten Magrum each had three at the halfway point. With her teammates on the bench, junior Amber Moore

stepped up and hit three first-half 3-pointers and took over communicationwise. Moore finished with 19 points, four assists and four rebounds. “I was just trying to be the vocal leader,” Moore said. “We had three of our starters out, so I had to step up and help my teammates out because when I’m talking on the court, it helps everyone else out.” Starting forwards Karisma Penn’s and Kersten Magrum’s foul trouble allowed freshman McKenzie Piper to play 25 minutes in her career opener. Piper took advantage of her time on the court to the tune of 14 points and seven rebounds. Despite committing two fouls early, Penn paced the Illini with her 29th double-double of her career. The senior finished with 11 points and 12 rebounds, in addition to four blocks, three assists and three steals. It was the first win in a season opener for the senior. Penn’s first block was the 200th of her career. Newly converted point guard Taylor Tuck took advantage of Smith’s foul trouble. Tuck played 27 minutes and scored 12 points. Tuck also drew five fouls driving to the basket and tallied six points off of 10 free-throw attempts. The 6-foot Tuck had never played point guard before Bollant came to Illinois. Tuck played forward last season with the Illini as well

Illinois’ Amber Moore (42) makes a quick stop and prepares to shoot during the game against Evansville at Assembly Hall on Sunday. Illinois won 84-52 in the first game of head coach Matt Bollant’s career at Illinois. as during high school. “She’s so fast that the way we want to play, we want a fast point guard,” Bollant said. “We just challenged her and she said, ‘OK, I will start working on my ballhandling.’ She’s done great. She’s going to keep getting better. She’s so long and athletic that when she gets by, she really makes you pay.”

Evansville shot 38 free throws as a result of Illinois’ fouls. “That’s way, way too many free throws,” Bollant said. “I think part of that was the excitement of the first game. We got a little tight, and I think our feet weren’t quite as good, especially in the first half.” After Illinois’ 120-29 win last week, Bollant said the lack of com-

munication on the defensive end was a major weakness. “Overall, we were better than last game (with communication),” Bollant said. “But we still had two possessions in the second half where they set a screen and we didn’t know we were switching, and they got wide open 3s. They didn’t always make us pay when

we didn’t talk, so we have to keep growing in that.” Following the game, Bollant sent the team into the stands to thank its 1,625 supporters. Attendance only topped that number twice last season.

Illinois swimming falls to Illinois State for 1st time in 2000s BY J.J. WILSON STAFF WRITER

Illinois swimming and diving fell to Illinois State for the first time in over 10 years Friday evening with a final score of 157-143. Leading up to the meet, which was the first away competition for Illinois this season, the Illini were expected to be affected by travel; however, head coach Sue Novitsky disagreed after the meet’s result. “Illinois State had a great meet,” Novitsky said. “They came in and they competed hard and did all the little things correct. We were pretty sloppy and let a lot of points through our fi ngers and that defi nitely made a difference.” Senior Kathleen Knight, who

came away from the night with a Horton pool record in the 100 fly (57.05 seconds), said the Illini came into the meet a little bit sluggish, not to take away anything from Illinois State’s performance. “The meet was very long and slow-moving, and it was really hard to gain any momentum,” Knight said. “If we had a good swim, it just sort of sizzled and made it hard to really build a lot of steam off of that and really get it going.” Going into the meet, Novitsky adjusted the roster from the traditional lineup at this season’s home meets. Junior Courtney Pope , who took fi rst place in each of her four races in their last meet against Michigan

State, did not even travel with the team. Instead, Novitsky said that she left a lot of her upperclassmen at home because she believes that her younger swimmers needed to gain the experience of stepping up and performing in highpressure situations. “For us to grow as a team, we have to be able to handle pressure, and I defi nitely wanted the pressure to be put on them tonight and it was,” Novitsky said. “Now, we have to go back to practice and take a look at what we can learn from this experience and how we can grow into a better team.” In part, the goal to test the underclassmen succeeded, as sophomore Alison Meng took two

first-place finishes in the 50 and 100 back with times of 26.90 and 56.80 seconds, respectively. Each of Meng’s times also set new Horton pool records. Also among the successful underclassmen were sophomore Megan Marchuk in the 200 free (1:54.61) and freshmen Sloane McDermott and Sarah Sykstusin the 200 back (2:06.00) and 200 fly (2:06.06), respectively. Meng, Marchuk and Sykstus were also joined by junior Erica Lynn for a fi rst-place fi nish in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:48.06. “Going into (the meet), I was pretty nervous,” McDermott said. “It was my first travel meet, but I thought I stepped up pretty well today.”

Still, the end result was the same and the Redbirds took away the Illini’s momentum, which they never got back, according to Novitsky. Coming away from this loss, McDermott said she thinks that her underclass team has learned to swim races smarter and will take lessons from the meet so that they can work on improving in the upcoming week of practice. “It’s easy to be really disappointed, but you can’t take that negativity and carry it with you,” Knight said. “You have to let if fall behind when you want to move forward, and to move forward you need to take away from other swims.” Knight expects that the team will be backing off a little bit in the upcoming week of practice

in preparation for the three-day Northwestern Invitational next weekend. Novitsky previously said she wants her swimmers to swim when they are tired so that they can focus on sharpness for the larger meets when they have had their rest. Now, the first opportunity to show off this strategy is a short week away. “At practice (this week), the focus has to be sharp. We have to be doing the little things better,” Novitsky said. “(This week is about) just backing off them a little bit, and letting their bodies recharge and freshen up a little bit.”

Scheelhaase’s offensive struggles against Minnesota leave him feeling down BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

This one even bothered Nathan Scheelhaase a little bit more. The Illinois quarterback, who turned 22 on Wednesday, spoke slow with stammered speech, his head hung and his mind jumping from thought to thought as he reflected on everything he wishes he could’ve done differently Saturday. The smile and positive optimism that has become a regular feature of Scheelhaase was not there immediately after Saturday’s 17-3 loss to Minnesota. He admitted that this one had him feeling low. “I felt like I let a lot of people down,” Scheelhaase said. He could’ve been feeling the

effects of the pressure he felt in the pocket all game long, forcing him to rush and miss throws like a wide open Jon Davis for what looked like an easy touchdown. Or he could have been thinking about the fumble on a fourthand-1 quarterback sneak where he extended the ball after being stopped on his initial attempt and the Golden Gophers took it away, or the fact that his team can’t seem to get on track as Illinois’ losing streak was extended to seven and its Big Ten losing streak to 12. “I know that coaches and people always say that it doesn’t come down to one player,” said Scheelhaase, who was 15-for-23 passing for 175 yards and recorded 45 yards rushing. “But for sure,

it didn’t feel good about how I let us down there at the end.” Scheelhaase is known for being one of the most competitive players on the Illini, and he prides himself on being able to stay positive. He’s never too high when the Illini win and consequently never too low when they fail. A bornagain Christian and leader in the Illini clubhouse, he’s the one usually that is picking up any hung heads after disappointment. The roles were reversed this week as Scheelhaase had to have his head picked up and spirits uplifted. Co-offensive coordinator Chris Beatty was one of the first to offer help. Beatty saw Scheelhaase feeling down and consulted his quarterback. Beatty assured the

junior that he’ll do better for him, taking the blame for the offense’s struggles. He says he’ll call better plays and give Scheelhaase a better plan. “It was needed,” Scheelhaase said. “It means a lot to me, what was said, because he knows as a player how hard it is, and when you’re feeling like this and dealing with the seasons like we’ve had, stuff liked that means a lot.” Saturday’s abysmal offensive performance keeps the Illini last in scoring offense in the Big Ten with 16.9 points per game, 118th in the nation in scoring offense and 115th in total offense. In the third quarter, Illinois had only eight yards. As a result, Illinois head coach Tim Beckman says he may get

more involved with the offense. He’ll leave the play-calling to Beatty and co-offensive coordinator Billy Gonzales, who calls third downs, but Beckman said he’ll “suggest and strongly urge” some plays. “Well, we scored three points,” Beatty said. “We need help.” Beckman said he didn’t have to say anything to Scheelhaase after the fumble in the fourth quarter. Scheelhaase was pressing to try and gain that extra yard that the Illini struggled to convert all day. In the first quarter, after storming down the field with a flea flicker, it seemed that the offense had some life injected into it. However, the drive stalled after Illinois was unable to convert on two straight downs from the 1-yard

line, settling for a field goal. “We’ve got to come off the football and bloody some mouths and get us a yard when we need a yard,” Beckman said. Scheelhaase promised that he wouldn’t allow himself to sulk for too long; it’s not in his nature. The smile crept back onto his face for a second as he assured reporters that by the time Monday arrives, that smile would stay there. “I’ve got to shake whatever I’ve got going on right now,” Scheelhaase said. “There’s too many guys in that locker room that’s depending on me to be the person I am.”

Menâ€™s cross-country barely misses out on NCAAs Two Illini runners, Jannis Toepfer and Hunter Michow, qualify as individuals for national championship BY DAN ESCALONA STAFF WRITER

It was a day of highs and lows for the menâ€™s cross-country team Friday at the NCAA Midwest Regionals in Springfield, Mo. After a fourth-place finish at the regionals, Illinois narrowly missed out on a berth in the NCAA Championships. On the other hand, two Illini runners â€”

Jannis Toepfer and Hunter Mickow â€” qualified as individuals for a spot in next weekendâ€™s national championship. â€œI was obviously thrilled, as was Hunter, to make it to the NCAA Championships,â€? Toepfer said. â€œIt was very bittersweet when we found out that we werenâ€™t going to make it as a team. All the guys ran great, we just didnâ€™t have luck go our way.â€? As it did in 2011, Illinois will send two runners to the national championships. Mickow led the way for the Illini, finishing sixth overall with a time of 30 minutes, 29 seconds â€” the highest finish for an Illinois runner since Trent Hoerr in 2007. Toepfer finished 13th overall with a time of

30:41. Both earned an All-Region selections and will run in their first national meet in their collegiate careers. â€œIt was huge for the program for Jannis and Hunter to have the success they did on Friday,â€? head coach Jake Stewart said. â€œBoth of them have grown so much over the season and have continually gotten better every day. I expect them to hold their own next Saturday in Louisville.â€? As a team, Illinois came away with a fourth-place finish. Following the meet, the team was very confident that it would come away with a spot in the NCAA Championships. Because of some of the finishes in other regional meets across the country,

the Illini missed out on a prime chance to reach its first national championship as a team since 1986. Stewart spoke on the failure to reach the national meet, saying: â€œTo be honest, all I can say is that we as a team were very disappointed. We were all impressed with our performance at the regional and were confident we would make it. Unfortunately, a couple things didnâ€™t go our way. I know how much it wouldâ€™ve meant for Hunter and Jannis to be running with the entire team.â€? Stewart was critical of the qualification process because Illinois beat a number of the teams that qualified for the

NCAA Championships head-tohead. In Stewartâ€™s mind, the format should be changed, though he didnâ€™t elaborate on how that process would work. Contributing to the fourthplace finish was senior and 2011 NCAA championship qualifier, Jordan Hebert, who finished 26th overall with a time of 31:04. Also scoring points for Illinois were redshirt freshmen Tommy King and Ian Barnett , who finished 54th and 55th, respectively. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State tied for first place, beating out third-place finisher Tulsa. Tulsaâ€™s Chris Oâ€™Hare won the individual title in the regional. Though Stewart is disappointed with the team barely miss-

ing out on a spot in the NCAA Championships, he reflected on the season, saying: â€œOur success this season proves that we are one of the best 25 teams in the country. We took many steps forward throughout the season, and I am very confident that we will only progress further in the next couple seasons.â€? â€œMost of all, what I will remember most is how we as a team bounced back from the tough results at the Notre Dame meet,â€? Toepfer said. â€œWe did a lot of good things as a team this season, and I am excited to see where we go in the future.â€?

Womenâ€™s cross-country places 9th at NCAA Regional BY NICHOLAS FORTIN STAFF WRITER

Senior Courtney Yaeger was near the front through 2K, but she fell after another runner cut her off at the NCAA Midwest Regional meet Friday. The fall pushed Yaeger back in the race but did not take her out of contention, as she finished in the top 25, earning allregion honors. Freshman Alyssa Schneider, who remained with Yaeger to that point, placed 12th overall and earned all-region honors, leading the Illinois womenâ€™s cross-coun-

try team to a ninth-place finish in Springfield, Mo. â€œIâ€™m really proud that we had two all-region runners.â€? head coach Jeremy Rasmussen said. â€œBoth girls ran great races. Last year, I think our top finisher for the regional meet was in the 80s, and this year, we had two girls in the top 25. It shows that weâ€™re getting better, but we want to be a team that can go to the national meet, and weâ€™re still a little ways from that.â€? Schneider led the team, running the 6K course in 21 minutes, 4 sec-

onds. Yaeger finished in 21:30, and senior Madeline Aufmann, junior Katie Porada, sophomore Chloe Schmidt, and freshmen Amanda Fox and Lindsey Rakosnik rounded out the group in which all the athletes finished in 24 minutes or less. â€œI think in general they competed well for where they started,â€? Rasmussen said. â€œBut we didnâ€™t start in the right place for some of them. Alyssa, Courtney and Katie started in the right place, but our four, five, six, seven started too far back.â€?

Illinoisâ€™ finished behind Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Minnesota, the top-three teams, respectively. The Illini scored 290 points, 227 behind the Cyclones, who advanced to the NCAA Championships. â€œWe did about as good as we did at Big Tens, which is a little bit disappointing because we definitely have the talent to do better, but it was a learning experience for our young group,â€? Yaeger said. She said she was relieved to still earn all-region honors even

though she fell and was not feeling 100 percent on race day. â€œI think what we did well was that we fought,â€? Yaeger said. â€œThere were people that werenâ€™t feeling well and were battling injury, and they were still in it and they did the best they could.â€? Schneider added that she was ecstatic about how she raced. â€œI was really happy with my race,â€? Schneider said. â€œI didnâ€™t really know what to expect in the race, but I wanted to be top 25, so I was really happy with my place.â€? Rasmussen said even though the

cross-country season is over for the team, this isnâ€™t the end. â€œThe biggest thing is we got to know that were in really good shape, and we have to take that and move it into the indoor track season,â€? Rasmussen said. â€œThatâ€™s the next thing on our schedule. The team has to know that even though the results didnâ€™t show exactly what we wanted, we ran really well this year and we have to now carry that over to the track.â€?

Rams, 49ers play to 1st NFL tie since 2008 BY JANIE MCCAULEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DARYL QUITALIG THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois fans cheer during the game against Penn State at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 29. Columnist Jay Bensal thinks the Athletics Department should help student-to-student ticket sales.

UI athletic office should facilitate ticket sales between fans to boost attendance JAY BENSAL Sports columnist

he 10 biggest stadiums in America are all used for one purpose: college football. In fact, our very own Illini football team has graced two of them, at Michigan and at Ohio State, this season. The fact that college football is home to so many of the largest structures in the country may not surprise you; Division I athletics, especially football, are a constant source of school pride and have always been a way to show school spirit through attendance. Student sections all over the country, clad in body paint, are seen cheering their hearts out on national television in stadiums every weekend throughout the fall. An aspect of these sporting events I had never thought about before coming to college is the one forgotten after arriving at the games themselves: tickets. I find it surprising that the student-to-student ticket market is a topic that rarely comes up in conversation.

STREAM US AT WPGU.COM

Just here on our campus, for every football or basketball game students have tickets to sell for one reason or another. Because of the nature of busy campus life, it is inevitable that a proud Block-I or Orange Krush member cannot don his or her orange and blue and Oskee-Wow-Wow our team on to victory. Similarly, at every game, with a student population as large as ours, there are students looking for a ticket to the same sporting event. Rather than purchasing tickets through the box office at face value, a better option for buyers is usually to search for another student willing to sell at a discount. Currently, other than asking your friends, the primary method of scouring for student tickets is through a Facebook group titled â€œU of I Student Ticket Exchange,â€? which has 4,445 members in it. With that large of a membership, it should be a relatively simple task to buy or sell a ticket; however, I have found this is not often the case. While many tickets are sold quickly and successfully, a large number of purchases also require a disproportionate amount of effort on the

part of those involved. Many exchanges are marred by miscommunication about number of tickets or price or derailed by cancellations, frustrating the seller and forcing them to keep searching elsewhere for a buyer. Furthermore, excessive scrolling is required to find available tickets because of the sheer volume of posts in the group. At any one time, a buyer can only see a small portion of all the listed tickets and many being sold donâ€™t have a price listed initially. Upon finding one that might be available for purchase, itâ€™s not always still for sale, having already been sold. As game day grows closer, students grow frantic and desperation visibly increases. At a school where itâ€™s a challenge to keep fans at football games past halftime, shouldnâ€™t the process of getting fans that want to go to a game be made easier? Your first response may be that what I perceive as an unnecessary difficulty is a non-issue. If a fan buys a ticket and is unable to attend, itâ€™s the fanâ€™s responsibility to sell said ticket. But I think that an institutional responsibility to help

HENDRICK HOUSE

students get to games exists. At Alabama, a historic football powerhouse, student tickets are only $5 each at the start of the season, which essentially eliminates the threat of large monetary loss. At Michigan, enterprising students have created the â€œMaize Market,â€? a site which lets students list their items for sale, including tickets, in an organized, efficient manner that expedites the communication surrounding deals. At Texas, students can officially transfer individual student tickets to other students, an unrelated but useful service. Attendance correlates directly to fan support and this is a season that has shown that. In order to boost attendance at home games, an official effort through a Ticketmaster-like site linked to the University of Illinois Athletic Ticket Office, or anything of the sort addressing the market of student-to-student ticket sales, would provide a respite to frustrated student fans all over campus.

SAN FRANCISCO â€” The St. Louis Rams and San Francisco 49ers played the NFLâ€™s first tie game in four years as kickers from both teams missed overtime field goals Sunday. Greg Zuerlein kicked a 53-yarder, but the Rams were penalized 5 yards for delay of game. He tried again from 58 as coach Jeff Fisher played for the win and missed wide right with 2:42 left in OT. San Franciscoâ€™s David Akers missed wide left on a 41-yard attempt that could have sealed it for the NFC West-leading 49ers (6-2-1), who lost quarterback Alex Smith to a first-half concussion. Akers booted a tying 33-yarder with 3 seconds left in regulation after Sam Bradford threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Austin Pettis with 1:09 remaining. San Francisco linebacker Patrick Willis was flagged for holding Lance Kendricks on third down of St. Louisâ€™ final drive, a costly mistake that kept his team from getting one last chance. On the first play of OT, Bradford completed an 80-yard pass to Danny Amendola that took St. Louis (3-5-1) to the 2, but the play was called back for an illegal formation. Some 49ers fans got up to leave, then returned to their seats. The last tie was between Philadelphia and Cincinnati, 13-13 in 2008. Frank Gore ran for a 20-yard touchdown with 8:23 to go in regulation just 17 seconds after backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick scurried 7 yards for a score. Kaepernick finished 11 for 17 for 117 yards and also had eight carries for 66 yards, calmly leading the Niners after it took several series to find his groove. Gore ran for 97 yards, while Michael Crabtree made five catches for 70 yards and a 14-yard touchdown from Smith before he left the game.

Amendola returned for the Rams following a three-game absence with a shoulder injury to make 11 catches for 102 yards. Bradford went 26 for 39 for 275 yards and two touchdowns. Smith took a hard hit on the back of the neck from linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar after a scramble with 1:10 left in the first quarter. But the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft stayed in the game and completed his next five passes, including Crabtreeâ€™s TD. Smith, who has started 28 straight games, wound up 7 for 8 for 72 yards. The 49ers didnâ€™t face Bradford in either meeting last season as the Rams quarterback missed six games with a high left ankle sprain. He had all kinds of extra opportunities this time. Bradford found Steven Jackson for a 14-yard gain and first down late in the third period to keep a drive going. Jacksonâ€™s helmet flew off as he bowled through Willis. The Rams benefited moments later from Dashon Goldsonâ€™s 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for taking off his helmet. Then, defensive tackle Ray McDonald was flagged for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Bradford when he came in under the quarterbackâ€™s chin, extending another Rams drive and giving them first and goal from the 7. Zuerlein kicked a 27-yard field goal. The penalties and miscues were certainly uncharacteristic of San Franciscoâ€™s defense. Crabtreeâ€™s touchdown midway through the second quarter gave him a TD reception in five straight games against the Rams. It was his third touchdown in two games, and all of his team-leading four TD catches have come in the last five games. Kaepernick took over as Smith went to the bench to be examined by medical personnel and soon left for the locker room with a concussion.

DAN WELIN Football columnist

arly in the second quarter of Saturday’s 17-3 loss to Minnesota, Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase had no one open on the short side of the gridiron, so he decided to reverse the field. With 10 Golden Gophers pursuing Scheelhaase, Illini fans erupted with “oohs,” sensing a play reminiscent of the elusiveness he showed in gaining 1,492 yards entering this season. Problem is, Scheelhaase didn’t see the safety holding his zone over the top, and he, of course, thwarted the play that seemed as if it was going to put Illinois on top 10-0. Instead, Scheelhaase was rushed out of bounds with only a 5-yard gain to show for his efforts, and a crowd begging for excitement was reserved to “aahs.” Fans tried once more in the third quarter, as Minnesota appeared to muff a punt and Illinois appeared to get the ball back. It was such a bang-bang play that amid the cheers, Illinois fans didn’t realize that Minnesota punt returner Marcus Jones regained possession and gained 19 yards. But the “oohs” turned to “aahs” when the crowd did. Whether it’s simply the window that just wasn’t open wide enough or Minnesota’s gaffeturned-gain on the punt return, the 2012 Illinois football season can be defined by the crowd’s reactions on those two plays. Heading into the season with doubts at wide receiver and offensive line, the offense was in question, but the defense — rated as the nation’s seventhbest last season — would be in flux soon enough. Senior defensive end Michael Buchanan recorded 7.5 sacks as a junior, so progressing his senior year before becoming a first-round pick in the NFL was a foregone conclusion. Especially when he’d be lining up alongside the likes of Akeem Spence, Glenn Foster and the rest of the bunch. But through 10 games, Buchanan only has 2.5 sacks and the team only has 18, compared to last year’s 41.

The defense of course misses the production of last season’s unanimous All-American Whitney Mercilus, but the drop off is too steep to blame on one player’s departure. To ignore the lack of talented depth on this team would be like saying Tim Beckman’s hair isn’t gray. The signs have been there all season, we just didn’t interpret them like we should’ve. The mirage was that the 2012 Illinois football team was supposed to get better under a new coaching regime. Where there were problems under former head coach Ron Zook, a coach with an established pedigree at previous stops arrived to accept the challenge. The Illini first were blown out by Arizona State and Louisiana Tech, but we were all just like: “Eh, they can’t keep up with those fast-paced spread offenses. Things will get better when they go back to the Big Ten.” Then Illinois was bullied by Penn State, punched in the mouth by Wisconsin on the road and destroyed by Michigan at the Big House. The Illini were 2-5, and bowl eligibility was but a sliver of hope. Ohio State remained on the schedule, but we were like: “They can beat some combination of Indiana, Minnesota and Purdue, with an upset at Northwestern somewhat attainable. This team will win about two more games, right?” Wrong. Here the Illini stand 2-8 (0-6 Big Ten), now having lost to both Indiana and Minnesota, something they haven’t done in the same season since 2003. Saturday’s battle for the Big Ten basement doesn’t have the same allure now that Purdue betrayed Illinois with its win at Iowa over the weekend. The Illini are all by themselves as the only winless team in the conference. In fact, they’ve now lost 12 Big Ten games in a row. A comical “ooh” of watching a game between two teams winless in conference has even evaporated into an “aah” of watching a team that can’t meet any expectations.

Defense shows glimpse of old ways despite another loss BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER

It’s been a long eight weeks since Illinois shut out Charleston Southern on Sept 15. Since then, the Illini have lost seven straight and have extended last season’s six-game Big Ten losing streak to 12, failing to hold a Big Ten opponent under 30 points this season until Saturday against Minnesota. Illinois’ defense held its own, but the offensive woes continued and the Gophers still prevailed. The Illini held Minnesota to three points at the half, which kept the game within reach despite the offense managing to score just three points. “We don’t look at the offense or anything like that like it’s their fault or anything,” defensive end Michael Buchanan said. “If (the Gophers) don’t score, we could have won 3-0. So we stop and look at ourselves and look at the mistakes that we made.” The defense, which entered the season heralded as the strength of the team, has underachieved through 10 games after fi nishing among the top 10 in the nation last season. The Illini are allowing an average of 31.5 points per game and have been susceptible to big plays. But Illinois has shown flashes of success against some of the Big Ten’s top teams, and the defense’s 17 points allowed Saturday were the least all year outside victories over Western Michigan and Charleston Southern. “We were a lot more disciplined in there, and I think we just played with a lot of emo-

tions,” Buchanan said. “Even though we’re not getting W’s on the board, I do feel like we are playing better as a team. ... We just haven’t fi nished games.” The defense has been hit with injuries — linebacker Jonathan Brown and safety Steve Hull missed Saturday’s game — which forced two freshmen linebackers from Ohio, Mason Monheim and Mike Svetina, into starting roles for their debut seasons. Monheim, the team’s leading tackler, recorded a game-high 15 tackles against the Gophers, but his career performance was undercut by the fi nal score. And while the Illini are entrenched at the bottom of the Big Ten, Monheim said the team is still motivated and is looking forward to an opportunity to end its sevengame slide against a Purdue team that notched its first conference victory of the season Saturday. “It hurts, but there’s no point in dwelling on it,” Monheim said. “If you’re going to dwell on it, you’re gonna keeping losing, and the focus we need to have is on Purdue. They’re coming to our house, the last home game, and we need to fi nish on a good streak.” For the seniors who have just two games remaining in their Illini careers, they’re hoping to lay down a foundation for the program to build on after they’re gone. “We just really want to set a path for the younger guys,” Buchanan said. “So they don’t have to go through this.”

Futrell captures his 1st career 141 title at Open BY DAN BERNSTEIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Senior B.J. Futrell captured his first career 141 title at the Harold Nichols Cyclone Open on Saturday in Ames, Iowa, while nine other Illini wrestlers finished in the top five. “It was a pretty good effort,” head coach Jim Heffernan said in a press release. “Most importantly we got a lot of matches in. We still need to become more disciplined in some areas, but we will continue to get better and keep working.” Futrell finished 5-0 on the day, moving past Grand View’s Gustavo Martinez in his first bout by a 17-5 major decision. To get to the final, he later defeated Iowa Western Community College’s Tyler Nation with a pin in 2:29, St. Cloud State’s Matt Nelson on a 10-2 decision and Northern Iowa’s Gunnar Wolfensperger with a 6-1 decision. Futrell then faced Nebraska-Kearne’s Brock Coutu in the final to capture the 141 title on a fall in 29 seconds. “It’s a step in the right direction,” Futrell said. “It was a good win but I know that I still have a lot of things to improve on.”

SOCCER FROM PAGE 1B was able to finish the opportunities. The match continued into penalty kicks, where the Illini came away successful, advancing to the second round of the NCAA tournament. They will travel to Chapel Hill, N.C., to face second-seed North Carolina, which is Rayfield’s alma mater. “We want to win obviously for (Rayfield) to have bragging

To go along with Futrell, 11 other Illini wrestlers placed at the tournament. Jeff Koepke (184 pounds) and Pat Walker (HWT) both placed second in their respective weight classes. Daryl Thomas (133), Jordan Blanton (174), Tony Dallago (184) and John Fahy (149) all finished third in their weight classes, while Logan Arlis (133) placed fourth. Steven Rodrigues (141) and Adam Acheson (165) also contributed to the Illini’s success with fifth-place finishes. Overall, the Illini were pleased with their early season performance, but are using many of these open tournaments as stepping stones to their ultimate goal of winning a national championship. “It’s definitely a step in the right direction, but we still have a lot to work on,” Futrell said. “But this sport is all about the month of March, anything less than a national championship would be a disappointment.” The Illini will take another step toward March next weekend as they will compete in St. Charles, Mo., at the Lindenwood Open.

Former Illini Ruben Gonzales and Dennis Nevolo — two-time All-American — will highlight the main draw beginning Monday. The qualifying rounds for the challenger, in which several Illini competed as amateurs, were held this past weekend. Illinois head coach Brad Dancer said it is a honor to host this USTA event and also that it is a good chance for members of his team to be exposed to elite competition. Dancer said it has been at least six or seven years since an Illini athlete advanced through the singles qualifying round to the main draw, and that streak will continue. On Saturday, Ross Guignon and Stephen Hoh began the qualifying singles matched up against each other. Hoh was able to defeat his teammate in straight sets 6-2, 6-2, although Dancer said both of them played “terrible.” Julian Childers was able to win against U.S.’ Spencer Vegosen 6-3, 7-5. And Alex Jesse bounced back from losing the first set to edge his Canadian opponent Pavel Krainik 3-6, 6-0, 6-4. The nation’s top recruit last year, Jared Hiltzik, was also resilient after losing his first set and came back to beat American Tyler Hochwalt in an exciting three-setter 6-7(5), 7-5, 6-2. Hiltzik said his opponent eventually fell apart at the end, which allowed the freshman to take the third set relatively easily. “I think I just broke him down mentally,” Hiltzik said. “(My) college tennis mindset of never giving up has really helped a lot.” Also on Saturday, Farris Gosea fell to John Peers of Australia in a tough match 7-6(8), 6-3. Bruno Abdelnour also lost in straight

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1B single game total, and six different Illini players connected from long range. Ten of those 3-pointers came in the first half, as Illinois built its 43-25 halftime lead. Attempting 30 3-pointers in one game is abnormal, but Groce thought most of the attempts were good looks established through steady offense. “We’ve got guys that can shoot the ball,” he said. “Guys that have worked very hard this summer to earn the right to make shots.” Groce’s offense is predicated

sets to the fifth-seeded Australian Chris Guccione 6-1, 6-4. Dancer said Guccione’s serve was good enough to be ranked as one of the top-10 serves in the world. “I’ve never seen anything like that,” Abdelnour said of Guccione’s serve. “It was really hard to return. He hit spots really well, even if I knew it was going there I really couldn’t do much with it.” Guccione’s next opponent was Hiltzik, and although the freshman competed well, the Australian came out on top 7-6, 6-4. Dancer said Hiltzik was able to outplay Guccione in the first set but could not close the set. Guccione capitalized on that and won the match in straight sets. Hoh lost in a tough match to the top-seeded Joshua Milton of Great Britain 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. And Childers lost in straight sets to the No. 3-seed Christian Harrison 6-0, 6-1, and Jesse fell to Great Britian’s David Rice 6-4, 6-4. Dancer said both freshmen need to work on their concentration, adding that Childers has to be more consistent. The Illini also sent a doubles pair to the ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships in Flushing, N.Y., this weekend. Sophomores Farris Gosea and Tim Kopinski were unable to advance in the tournament after a losing 8-5 to Armstrong Atlantic State’s Dan Regan and Georgi Rumenov. The Illniois tandem also lost in the consolation bracket to Columbia’s Winston Lin and Bert Vancura 8-0. Despite the duo’s disappointing performance, associate coach Marcos Asse said Gosea and Kopinski could still be a strong tandem in spring. “They have found the energy level and the style they need to play with,” Asse said. “To be an elite doubles team in the spring, they need to be beating the players who were there this weekend, and they didn’t do that.”

Atkins Tennis Center hosts professional players in USTA event BY STEVEN VAZQUEZ

HOCKEY

denwood freshman Cody Barra and Illini senior Kent Kovalsky dropped the gloves and the helmets and let out the fi rst true fight of the night, which ended when Kovalsky nearly pulled Barra’s jersey off his body. Both were ejected and face suspensions from the league. Not even two minutes later, team-wide fights broke out all over the ice. Illinois’ Mario Pacheco was sucker punched, while Nick Stuercke and various Lindenwood players dropped the gloves to fight. Illinois captain Austin Bostock was literally pulled into the Lindenwood bench, where he was attacked by a mob of Lions players.

against Ohio and Iowa State, actually came out and played well in the first, and tallied the period’s only goal when Derek Schultz finished a one-timer from freshman John Olen to pick up another early 1-0 lead. In the second period, however, Lindenwood found another gear offensively. The Lions exploded for five goals on just 10 shots and blew the game wide open.

“The second period has been a struggle for us all year,” Stuercke said. The turning point in the game was with the score tied 2-2 on a 4-on-3 Illinois power play, Lindenwood forward Zach Glazer blocked a shot and raced up ice to deke Illini goalie Nick Clarke for the shorthanded goal. The second and third periods featured a lot of chippy play, lead-

ing to a a fight between numerous players on both sides that led to a combined eight ejections. “It’s disappointing,” center Austin Bostock said. “We come out and play these great games Friday and then we can’t answer it.”

“It was a buildup of the whole weekend,” said Stuercke, who participated in his fi rst collegiate fight. “They were chippy all weekend, and we were getting kind of mad, not being able to pull off a sweep.” The brawl at 10:47, which featured the fights with Pacheco and Stuercke, doled out a combined 48 minutes of penalty time. “Lindenwood likes to play on the edge,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. “If the referees are going to let that happen, then things are going to get out of hand.” Per ACHA rules, anyone participating in fights is automatically suspended; however, Fabbrini said he plans to send in a video appeal to the ACHA to eliminate suspensions for players like Pacheco and increase disciplinary action for some Lin-

denwood players. “Them pulling guys off the ice onto their bench is bush league,” Fabbrini said. “In order to get respect, you have to give respect, and they don’t. They’re a bunch of clowns up and down that lineup.” With a huge conference matchup against Ohio next weekend, Fabbrini told his players to stay out of fights after the 10:47 fights as to stay eligible for the games next weekend. In the fi nal minute of the game, Illinois freshman Kevin Chowaniec was ejected for a hit to the face on a Lindenwood player, while Lindenwood freshman Darnell Dyck was ejected with just 12 seconds remaining for misconduct. In addition, Illinois players had three sticks broken in the scrum, allegedly from Linden-

wood players. “I’d say they’re a little behind the learning curve for their age,” Stuercke said. After the game, Bostock was seen with a cut stretching down his nose between his eyes, while Stuercke had multiple bandages and cuts on his hand from landing shots on a Lindenwood player’s helmet cage. This is nothing new between these two teams, however, and Fabbrini expects the tension and tempers to fester until they meet again in January. “We know what to expect from these guys going forward,” Fabbrini said. “I expect it’ll carry over to when we go to their place.”

Gophers hand the Illini their 7th straight loss BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER

For the third straight game, the Illinois football team scored before its opponent but was unable to maintain a lead. Despite compiling 276 yards of offense, the Illini couldn’t reach the end zone in a 17-3 loss to Minnesota in front of 46,912 on Dad’s Weekend at Memorial Stadium. With the win, the Golden Gophers handed the Illini their seventh consecutive loss and 12th consecutive conference loss, while Minnesota is bowl eligible for the first time since 2009. Illinois (2-8, 0-6) scored first after stopping Minnesota (6-4, 2-4 Big Ten) on its first possession. Following a 49-yard flea flicker from quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase to wide receiver Spencer Harris on Illinois’ second play from scrimmage, the Orange and Blue cracked the scoreboard on a 20-yard field goal from Nick Immekus. The field goal would remain the only score until late in the second quarter. With the Golden Gophers threatening on the Illinois 5-yard line, the Illini defense came up with three stops, forcing a 20-yard field goal from Minnesota kicker Jordan Wettstein. Both offenses got off to slow starts in the second half. After two Illinois punts and a punt of

its own, Minnesota drove 51 yards and scored the game’s first touchdown on a 3-yard run from running back Donnell Kirkwood. Minnesota would not relinquish the lead the rest of the game. Kirkwood finished the game with 152 yards on 28 carries with two touchdowns. “You look at early in that football game, we had the opportunity to take big strikes, to take those big hits and wide open receivers in the middle of the field,” Illinois head coach Tim Beckman said. “We overthrew them and we don’t get the points out of that. Things like that you have to make if you’re going to be successful. When you score three points that’s just not going to win at any level.” Illinois had two chances to tie the game in the fourth quarter while trailing 10-3. With just more than five minutes remaining, the Illini turned the ball over on downs at the Minnesota 35-yard line. The Illini forced the Golden Gophers to punt, giving them one final chance with less than four minutes on the clock. On a thirdand-1 play still 70 yards from the end zone, Scheelhaase fumbled on a quarterback sneak while reaching the ball for the first down. Minnesota capitalized on the turnover with Kirkwood scoring his second touchdown. steals. Tracy Abrams, the other player composing the point guardby-committee position, scored 13 points and had five assists. Together, their combined totals were 33 points and 10 assists on five turnovers, a promising statistical line for an offense driven by the point guard position. “We kind of control the team as the point guards,” Paul said. “Today, I think we both did a good job of limiting the turnovers. I don’t want to force too many bad passes, and I just made the right decision.”

DARYL QUITALIG THE DAILY ILLINI

Minnesota’s Cedric Dicke (19) recovers Illinois’ Nathan Scheelhaase’s (2) fumble during the game at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. “Coach Beatty tells me all the time don’t reach the ball out in those situations,” Scheelhaase said. “I think it comes down to just me trying to do too much, not doing my job. I guess that’s the instinct that comes out when you get stopped on a third-and-1. You want to do what you can to get the first down. It’s 100 percent my fault.” Scheelhaase finished the game 15-for-23 with 175 passing yards and 24 yards on the ground. Minnesota ran the ball 50 times, attempting just 15 passes. With Illinois linebacker Jonathan Brown out with an injury, Mason Monheim picked up the slack, recording a career-high 15 tackles.

“I want guys to run the ball,” Monheim said. “I’m a hard-nosed guy. Our defense is hard-nosed and we take that as a challenge. We take it personal.” Both teams punted six times each during the game. Illinois turned the ball over on an additional three possessions, twice by way of fumble and another through a turnover on downs. With Purdue’s win over Iowa on Saturday, Illinois is now the only team in the Big Ten without a conference victory with two games remaining on the schedule.

VOLLEYBALL

forward to steal the victory. “We out hit them, we out dug them, we outplayed them in most every fashion, it just came down to two points, and we didn’t make the plays,” Hambly said. The tournament begins now for the Illinois volleyball team. After suffering a loss at Columbus to Ohio State, Illinois’ record has dropped to 11-15 with four games remaining — the team must fi nish the season at .500 if it wants to be eligible for the NCAA tournament.

The set featured four lead changes, which was one too many for Illinois.
