Quinn expands program for military families DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

A state program aiming to aid military families in buying a home for the fi rst time will receive more funding, Gov. Pat Quin n announced on Veterans Day. An additional $5 million will be allocated through a capital fund to the Welcome Home Heroes program. The program provides grants to military families to help them afford fi rst-time homeownership. The investment will enable the program to assist an additional 50 0 military families. “As we honor our Illinois heroes on Veterans Day, we

Veterans honored at Parkland Speakers express support to all who serve armed forces BY ILYA GUREVIC STAFF WRITER

University of Illinois ROTC members made up the color guard that opened and closed for a Parkland College Veterans Day ceremony held at the campus’s Flag Lounge. Veterans from all five branches of the armed forces were recognized, and students and staff present held a moment of silence. The keynote speaker was veterans advocate “Mowhawk Man.” Mowhawk Man, who did not reveal his real name to attendees or The Daily Illini, is a supporter of the armed forces and a Ludlow, Ill., resident. He has spent 22 years on the road, crossing the country to

raise money for veteran causes and appear at events. During his speech, Mowhawk Man, who said he was inspired by his adoptive father’s service in the Vietnam War, voiced support for current and former members of the armed forces. He also praised veterans who are pursuing college degrees because he said they are continuing to serve their country by attaining a higher education. Mohawk Man also said the nonveteran backers of the military have a valued role to play. “With a simple smile and handshake, you make these veterans’ lives a better place,” he said. “With a simple thank you, you make them feel like their service is not in vain.” Kristina Taylor, coordinator of veterans and military personnel student services at Parkland College, said about 350 student veterans attend Parkland who benefit from GI Bill or state armed forces education benefits.

“It’s nice to have a ceremony to recognize veterans,” she said. “Often, they go unnoticed. People are surprised about how many we have.” Jeff Cox, Vietnam veteran and Parkland professor in computer science and information technology, also praised the event. “It was very nice to honor our veterans,” Cox said. “It’s not always been that way in our country.” Annette Dalton, of Fisher, Ill., is the sister of a fallen soldier and was also a guest at the commemoration. Her brother, Christopher Rudzinski, was killed in action in Afghanistan in October 2009. Dalton said such events let her know that her brother’s memory continues to be honored. “It’s like when they play taps — it’s hard to listen anymore,” she said.

After recent years marked by scandals within University administration, an Illinois Student Senate resolution to create a campuswide integrity statement will move on to the Urbana-Champaign Senate, following a move Monday by the Senate Executive Committee. Student senator Keenan Kassar, senior in Business, introduced the resolution to the committee at its regular meeting. “A couple months ago, I was looking to see if there was one integrity statement that was all-encompassing (for the University),” he said. “I did not fi nd that. Perhaps Chancellor Wise can create an ad hoc committee to draft a one-page statement.” Kassar said he has intentionally left the resolution broad because he did not want to impose his opinion on what the statement should encompass. He read the Purdue University statement to the committee as an example. “There are some things I would change (to the Purdue Statement), but it’s hard to disagree with any of this,” said Nicholas Burbules, general university policy chair and professor. “But that’s also the downside; to say something that everyone agrees with doesn’t really have power.” Burbules added that he wasn’t opposed to the idea and that the University could do a better job coming up with a unique statement. The executive committee moved to add the resolution to the December Urbana-Champaign Senate meeting for further debate and possible action. Committee members also discussed diversity efforts on campus. Chancellor Phyllis Wise is in the process of appointing a committee of faculty members to work with the University

GEO says little progress made with mediator and ‘strike is on the table’ Members to cast vote on strike prospects BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER

The Graduate Employees’ Organization met at Wesley United Methodist Church on Monday night to further discuss the possibility of a strike. GEO spokeswoman Stephanie Sea well said this was an opportunity for members to talk about what a strike would mean for graduate assistants. She also said the meeting was the beginning of the next step in the strike process: a strike

authorization vote. A lt hough s ome GE O members voted at the meeting, members have until Thursday night to vote on the “concept of a strike,” Seawell said. If the vote passes, the GEO will form a strike committee, made up of its coordinating committee and a few other elected candidates. This committee will decide whether to issue a strike. From Tuesday to Thursday, members can vote at various polling places throughout campus from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or electronically from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. All votes will be counted Friday. Last month, the GEO fi led intent-to-strike paperwork with the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board amid contract negotiations with

the University. This gave the organization legal permission to go on strike. Seawell said the vote is the next step in the process, which means “a strike is on the table.” However, members have said they do not wish to authorize a strike, as they would rather fi nalize the contract through mediation. “We want to settle this in the bargaining room, but in order for that to happen, we need the administration to talk to us about all of our issues, including tuition waivers ,” Seawell said. The GEO and University administrators met with a federal mediator Friday to discuss drafting a new contract,

administration on such efforts. “We need to work from the chancellor down to increase diversity on campus, not just because of the numbers, but because it is important to the competitive advantage and to students on campus,” she said. Also at the meeting, Mike Bragg, interim dean of the College of Engineering, presented information about the Illinois Applied Research Institute, which was launched mid-August of this year. “We see there is a large portfolio of research that isn’t appropriate for our model of faculty doing discovery research and students who are doing theses and dissertations,” he said. Bragg said he thinks the institution will allow faculty to conduct translational research and bring internship opportunities for students. The institution is receiving $5.5 million as a start-up from the College of Engineering but hopes to be self-supporting after five years, Bragg said. During discussion, Joyce Tolliver, University Senates Conference representative and associate professor of Spanish, addressed some of the benefits of the institution. “It’s going to take a lot of money,” she said. “But it would bring in money and create jobs and internships. It’s also good for students, could bring dual career couples and revenues would go towards sustaining the institute.”

He said he thinks a strike is the next step if discussions do not improve in the next few meetings. “ We ’ r e hopi ng the administration works with us because our interest here is to continue working,” Beaty said.

Reyes Jiang, of China, talks with Alexus Hall during Cultural Coffee Hour that was hosted by the Japanese Student Association on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind. Of the 25 campuses with the most international students, a dozen have increased international enrollment more than 40 percent in just five years, according to data collected by the Institute of International Education.

International students on the rise BY JUSTIN POPE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Want to see how quickly the look and business model of American public universities are changing? Visit a place like Indiana University. Five years ago, there were 87 undergraduates from China on its idyllic, All-American campus in Bloomington. This year: 2,224. New figures out Monday show international enrollment at U.S. colleges and universities grew nearly 6 percent last year, driven by a 23-percent increase from China, even as total enrollment was leveling out. But perhaps more revealing is where much of the growth is concentrated: big, public land-grant colleges, notably in the Midwest. The numbers offer a snapshot of the transformation of America’s famous heartland public uni-

versities in an era of diminished state support. Of the 25 campuses with the most international students, a dozen have increased international enrollment more than 40 percent in just five years, according to data collected by the Institute of International Education. All but one are public, and a striking number come from the Big Ten: Indiana, Purdue, Michigan State, Ohio State and the Universities of Minnesota and Illinois. Indiana’s international enrollment now surpasses 6,000, or about 15 percent of the student body, and in Illinois, the flagship Urbana-Champaign campus has nearly 9,000 — second nationally only to the University of Southern California. To be sure, such ambitious universities value the global vibe and perspectives international students bring to their Midwestern campuses. But there’s

no doubt what else is driving the trend: International students typically pay full out-ofstate tuition and aren’t awarded fi nancial aid. Nationally, there were 765,000 foreign students on U.S. campuses last year, with China (158,000) the top source, followed by India, South Korea and Saudi Arabia. Altogether, the Department of Commerce calculates they contribute $22.7 billion to the economy, and many stay after graduation. For the fi rst time in a dozen years, according to IIE, there were more foreign undergraduates than graduate students. Indiana charges in-state students $10,034 for tuition and non-residents $31,484, so the economic appeal is straightforward. Still, out-of-state recruiting — international or domestic — is always sensitive for public universities, fueling charges

that kids of in-state taxpayers are denied available slots. At one level, that’s true: About one-third of Indiana students come from outside the state, and for this year it rejected 4,164 instate applicants. But while conceivably it could enroll more Indiana residents, without the out-of-staters’ tuition dollars they would likely have to pay more. While international students bring revenue, there are also costs, obliging universities to expand services like international advising, English instruction, and even targeted mental health services. “I think that’s important,” Blumenthal said of the trend of international students moving beyond the most famous schools and into state schools, community colleges and liberal arts colleges. “They need to know that America’s as diverse as we know it is.”

FDA finds possible contaminators at drug-making facility BY MATTHEW PERRONE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta speaks to the media during a briefing aboard his airplane in flight over the Pacific Ocean en route from Honolulu to Perth, Australia, on Monday. He said the Pentagon and White House are discussing how much to decrease troop levels in Afghanistan in coming years.

Administration nearing decision on Afghan troop levels BY ROBERT BURNS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT OVER THE PACIFIC — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Monday that the Obama administration is nearing a decision in the next few weeks on how many U.S. troops would remain in Afghanistan — and for what purposes — after the U.S.-led combat mission ends in 2014. Panetta told reporters aboard his plane en route from Hawaii to Australia that Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, has developed several options on a post-2014 presence. Panetta also was asked about his future at the Pentagon. While he declined to reveal his plans, he suggested he still had work to do on the job he took in July 2011. “It’s no secret that at some point I’d like to get back to California,” he said. Panetta is from Monterey, Calif.

He added that there are a number of important defense issues awaiting resolution, including a budget impasse and the future of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan — suggesting that he would not leave immediately. “Right now, my goal is to basically meet my responsibilities with regard to dealing with those issues,” Panetta said. Pressed to say whether he would rule out staying for all four years of a second Obama term, he replied, “Who the hell knows?” Panetta said the Pentagon is reviewing those options with the White House. He would not reveal what troop levels are being considered, but it is believed that at least several thousand could be needed for several years beyond 2014. “My hope is that we’ll be able to complete this process in the next few weeks,” Panetta said. The decision will depend in part of the Afghan government’s willingness to permit a post-2014

U.S. military presence and to provide legal guarantees for those troops that are acceptable to Washington. Once that decision is made, U.S. officials have said they will set a timetable for reducing troop levels between now and the end of 2014. There now are about 67,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and their mission is evolving from combat to advising, assisting and training Afghan forces. A post-2014 U.S. military presence also would be expected to include hunting and killing extremists, including members of al-Qaida in Afghanistan. Asked about David Petraeus’ resignation as CIA director over revelations that he had an affair with his biographer, Panetta said he saw it as a “very sad situation to have him end his career like that.” Panetta was CIA director before Petraeus. “I think he took the right step” by resigning, Panetta added. Panetta was beginning a week-

long trip to Asia to meet with his counterparts in Australia, Thailand and Cambodia. He said this was an important expression of the Obama administration’s commitment to deepening ties in the region and developing more security partnerships. For decades American administrations have fought the perception among Asians that Washington paid too little attention to their security interests. This view was reinforced during the years of U.S. focus on Iraq, and it persists even as the war in Afghanistan winds down. The Obama administration has made much of its “pivot” to the Asia-Pacific, which has entailed more high-level diplomatic and security engagements and an attempt to expand cooperation with Australia and others in the region. But it is not fundamentally different from what the administration of President George W. Bush was pursuing even as it got mired in Iraq and saw stalemate in Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON — Federal he a lth i nspectors fou nd numerous potential sources of contamination, including leaky ceilings and insects, at a drugmaking facility that has the same founders as the specialty pharmacy linked to a deadly meningitis outbreak. T he Fo od a nd D r ug Administration on Monday released the results of a month long i nspection of Ameridose, a Westborough, Mass.-based company that makes i njectable dr ugs. The agency’s report, posted online, lists a host of problems at the plant, ranging from manufacturing to sterility to quality control. Inspectors said they found insects within 10 feet of a supposedly sterile area where drugs were manufactured. In another case, inspectors reported a bird fl ying into a room where drugs are stored. Elsewhere, the report cites leaks and cracks in the ceiling and walls of a clean room used to manufacture sterile drugs. The same room contained “thick residues that were orange, brown, and green” on equipment used for sterilization. FDA inspectors also said the company did not investigate at least 53 incidents of bacterial contamination that arose during testing of stock drug solution. “There is no documented evidence that your firm i mpleme nte d p er m a ne nt corrective actions to prevent these sterility events from recurring,” investigators wrote. A mer idose a g re ed to shut down for inspection in October after tainted steroids from its sister company, the New England Compounding Center, were linked to a fungal meningitis outbreak that has spread to 19 states and caused 32 deaths. Ameridose operates two facilities in Westborough and provides medication in prefilled oral syringes to hospitals nationwide. Its drugs range from painkillers to blood

thinners to pregnancy drugs. Late last month, the company agreed to recall all of its products under pressure from FDA regulators. FDA officials previously said they have not connected any Ameridose drugs to infection or illness, but they have concerns about the products’ sterility. Inspectors visiting the company’s plant also questioned whether some of Ameridose’s drugs work properly. Inspectors said that the company received 33 complaints from patients and doctors claiming “lack of effect” with various drugs. Regulators report that Ameridose also failed to investigate potentially serious side effects reported with drugs. One complaint involving the company’s painkiller fentanyl states the “patient was over-sedated, unresponsive.” A complaint for oxytocin, which is used to induce labor in pregnant women, states that the “patient had shortness of breath, the throat was closing, and coughing.” Ameridose said in a statement Monday that it will work to address the issues cited by FDA. But it stressed that “Ameridose’s history shows clearly that we have not had any instance of contaminated products over the course of the past six years, which covers the manufacture and shipment of 70 million units of product.” A mer idose a nd N E CC were founded by brothers-inlaw Barry Cadden and Greg Conigliaro. Ameridose says it is a separate entity with distinct management. Since the outbreak, Cadden, the lead pharmacist at NECC, resigned his post as director at Ameridose. He is scheduled to testify before Congress at a hearing Wednesday examining the outbreak. Last week Ameridose laid off nearly all of its 650 employees and 140 employees at its marketing and support arm, Medical Sales Management, due to the company’s extended shutdown.

Editorial Concealed guns not the answer to violent crime

llinois is the only state in the country that does not have a concealed carry law. We think it should stay that way. Ten mostly rural Illinois counties voted to support a concealed carry provision last Tuesday, pushing the issue to the forefront and adding pressure to the state government to join the rest of the country in allowing concealed handguns to be carried into public spaces. But the arguments behind concealed carry are couched in emotion, ideology and correlative statistics; allowing individuals to carry hidden guns is simply not a defensible solution to crime and violence. The federal government already allows for citizens to possess and own guns, and that right is enshrined in the Constitution, not to mention on the state level. We have no issue with the right to bear arms. However, we don’t think allowing concealed guns into public places is, or should be, part of this right. The arguments for concealed carry are compelling at first glance. Essentially, supporters claim that because violent criminals already have concealed weapons, preventing a legal avenue for concealed carry only harms law-abiding citizens or potential victims. A form of this argument arose this summer after the deadly shooting at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater last summer. Shortly after the tragedy, Slate’s David Weigel quoted Greg Brock, a California firearms safety expert, who said: “All you need is one person there with a gun .... If this went down in Texas or Arizona, (James Holmes) would have died quick.” Similarly, after the shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association said during a speech that “the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” LaPierre then claimed that there is an acrossthe-board reduction in violent crime in jurisdictions with right to carry laws compared to those that do not. There are a number of issues with this argument. First of all, most individuals when confronted with danger are not likely to take measured and calm action. With the presence of bystanders, the possibility of innocent, civilian death goes up tremendously. But even more strongly, the numbers just don’t back up the claim that a right to carry a concealed weapon reduces violent crime. Fact-checking website Politifact also took issue LaPierre’s claim of a connection between right-to-carry and lower violent crime and rated his statement as “false” for its contention that data supports an “across-theboard” reduction. The hard truth is that these arguments are not verifiable. In a 2005 study, The National Academies of Sciences concluded that “with the current evidence it is not possible to determine that there is a causal link between the passage of rightto-carry laws and crime rates.” Even more troubling, after analyzing the data the authors found that even the term “self-defense” is unclear in this context, writing, “We do not know accurately how often armed self-defense occurs or even how to precisely define self-defense.” In the end, concealed carry is a reality in most of the country, and a recent report from the Government Accountability Office puts the number of individuals with conceal carry licenses at 8 million. But we think this measure will not alleviate the problem of violent crime and that this issue has more to do with an ideological position on the Second Amendment than a legitimate solution to violent crime. We realize that the argument for right-to-carry concealed weapons makes intuitive sense: If the bad guys already have guns and will use them, why can’t we possess them in kind? But if we don’t truly understand how guns impact violent crime, and if supporters of the measure have only correlations to stand on, then there is little to suggest the utility of such a law.

RENÉE WUNDERLICH Opinions columnist

The way the party handled rape and abortion discussions was one of the most disappointing displays of public office I have seen in my life — let’s recall the legitimate rape comments from Missouri Rep. Todd Akin. It’s certainly a fair and defensible position to argue that life begins at conception, but completely misrepresenting basic facts about human anatomy, like when a woman is raped, to win an argument is daft. The Republicans need a whole new narrative. By nature, the Republican party wants government to be less intrusive than the Democratic Party. If they could somehow market the message of limited government, more personal freedom and individual fiscal responsibility to a broader audience, then they could harness a pocket of young voters who have grown distrustful of government. New voters are generally liberal, and the Republican Party needs to figure out how to make conservatism as attractive to them as liberalism. Fiscally, the nation is starting to rally around the GOP platform, but the party’s stances on social issues have disconnected them from many voters. Luckily for them, they have plenty of fresh talent in Sen. Marco Rubio, Rep. Paul Ryan, former Gov. Jeb Bush and Gov. Chris Christie that can re-energize the party, but it is going to take quite a bit of effort.

love food. It’s fascinating how the simple act of eating does so much; it motivates freshmen to come to club meetings and creates rigid tradition among even the most carefree. Think about it — there are books written, blogs typed and television stations dedicated to the appreciation of whatever culinary works society can ... um, cook up. I often think about how meals bring people together. But what I didn’t know is how eating one’s dish in a certain order can take a dish from good to great. So I present to you my newest food-centered discovery: the order of eating. In Asian cuisine, specifically sushi, eating in a systematic order is an ancient tradition. You start with a lighter fish, or so I’m told. In a flight, a series of items on a arranged on a plate, of sashimi, you always eat in threes. You go for the slightly denser yellow tail second, but only after you’ve cleansed your palette with pickled ginger — that pink stuff that they always put on the side next to the goose bump green wasabi paste. Regarding that innocent-looking spice that makes grown men cry actual tears, it turns out that I had been eating wasabi incorrectly my whole life. You don’t top a sushi roll with the little green crumbles; rather you put a modest portion of the spice on one side of your mini-sauce bowl and pour soy sauce over it, creating a gradient of mild, diluted sauce — mild farthest from the wasabi chunk and spiciest next to it. Lighter fish can take more spice; dunk it closer to the wasabi hunk. More oily, flavorful fish, like salmon, may not require quite as much heat, so a more mild flavor complements it. Style becomes everything in this meal. How many times had I had this kind of food without giving much thought to what came first: the eel or the octopus? Furthering the American stereotype, food tends to lead to more food; somehow eating sushi got me thinking of Thanksgiving. Do Americans have any sort of understanding to the coupling of flavors? I would say a little. Gravy enhances mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce sweetens turkey breast. But the order in which we will go about devouring our megameals is as diverse as what could possibly be served. There is no gravygradient in which to pair with dark or light meat, at least not that I’m aware of. We don’t like to pair or separate staunch flavors in America — rather, we mash them together. Case in point: the Turducken. Whoever thought of sticking a chicken inside of a duck, then inside of a turkey was either a culinary mastermind or just got really bored with the classics. The funky fowl hit mega mart shelves as the hot item of the holiday over a decade ago, and culinary historians (yes, that’s actually a profession — I know, I’m tempted to change my major, too) have traced the Turducken to Louisiana and others to the United Kingdom as a sort of offshoot of what they call a Yorkshire Christmas pie. Eighteenth century royalty apparently were not content with a simple Christmas goose. Sorry, Scrooge. Sometimes the Turducken packing companies even go a step further and add sausage or beef into the mix. And though I claim a pescetarian lifestyle, I’ve sampled Turducken in all its poultry-confused glory. While there is a lot going on flavor-wise, there is no cultural road map on the best way to enjoy Turducken. What is it about other cultures that have special sauces for different cuts of meat, special orders in which to consume each course, yet here in the melting pot of culture, citizens would sooner smother A1 Steak Sauce over everything? Or worse, cram as much of a meal into our faces as humanly possible, then head for the hills until we roll down them? A typical Thanksgiving meal focuses on the sheer quantity of food, but not always the quality of which it tastes. Is the turkey a little dry? We’ll gripe about it, but eat it just the same. So long as the meal is not charred or expired, we are pretty content to eat the standard holiday dinner in any order we see fit. Consequently, if there is not enough of a particular cut of fish, the sushi is not rolled. But at the end of the meal, no matter in what order you choose to chow down, eating is awesome. I was just as stuffed at the end of the orderedeating sushi dinner that I will be at my own family Thanksgiving, though probably not as sleepy.

What did we miss during the election? SARAH FISCHER Opinions columnist

t’s finally over. As Florida was called in favor of President Obama, the 2012 presidential election season finally roared to a close. It was a culmination of seven years for Mitt Romney, two years and an extended presidency for Barack Obama, three debates, thousands of negative political ads, millions of votes, one concession speech and one most retweeted photograph, and now Americans can settle back into their normal lives of school and work, of “Dancing With the Stars” and “Modern Family.” But perhaps some of us are asking, “What went on around the world while our media coverage was restricted to campaign promises and embarrassing gaffes?” What did we miss during the election?

Flooding in India Flooding is not a new phenomenon in India, but the rising sea levels have caused similar storm patterns to those experienced in the United States: bigger storms, more frequently. On Nov. 6 in southern India, a tropical storm killed at least 45 people and displaced close to 100,000, the majority living along the coast. It destroyed thousands of square miles of crops, damaged 1,300 houses and devastated an already-weakened water system. Road and rail traffic has been completely knocked out. Comparable floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains in September caused two million people to flee the northeastern part of India. A similar storm killed 23 in Bangladesh in October.

Earthquake in Guatemala A magnitude-7.4 earthquake rattled Guatemala on Nov. 7. As of

Thursday, NPR reported that 52 people were confirmed dead, with several more missing. Roughly 150 were treated for other injuries. The president of Guatemala, Otto Perez Molina, declared three days of mourning after touring the area, and stated that as many as 10,000 houses may be “uninhabitable.” Over 76,000 were left without power. The initial earthquake was felt in Mexico City, despite the fact that its epicenter was 14 miles off the coast of Champerico, Guatemala, 737 miles southeast of Mexico City. It also triggered 29 aftershocks, some as high as a 4.6 on the Richter Scale. This is the strongest earthquake to hit Guatemala since a magnitude-7.5 quake killed 23,000 in 1976, reported CNN. Luckily, Wednesday’s quake was not nearly as destructive, due partly to the location of its epicenter.

Putin in Russia Recently elected president of Russia Vladimir Putin fired his longtime ally, defense minister Anatoly Serdyukov. This comes not only amid a corruption charge brought against Serdyukov, but also as Putin replaces top officials in the Russian military. These replacements included the head of the military’s general staff, as well as a number of top generals. Many see this as a transition in military power to those who will bend more easily to Putin. Perhaps more frightening, Putin has changed the definition of treason in Russia. The language in the proposed law is incredibly vague — so vague it could be used, potentially, to charge anyone who has contact with foreigners, reports NPR. The fear is that it will give the government the power to investigate and prosecute any dissenting voices in Russia. The bill will pass into law if Putin signs his name. This bill has dangerous implications with the way Russia interacts with the rest of the world.

Massacre in South Africa Back in August, the police in South Africa, on the orders of the South African government, fired upon platinum miners striking in Marikana, killing 34 and injuring another 78. Many of the bodies were shot in the back, and one had been hit 12 times. The workers were on strike for better working conditions and higher pay, a strike which ended in September when they were awarded their pay increase. The investigation continues still, and there are allegations that the police doctored and planted evidence to make their claim of selfdefense plausible. Jeremiah Mohlaki, a crime scene investigator on the case, revealed two sets of photographs displaying the aftermath of the shooting. The first, taken in daylight, shows only a few miners with weapons. In the second, the same miners are laden with handmade and traditional weapons, either laying close by or on top of the deceased miners. Videos have also emerged in which the police can be heard laughing over the dead. In what has been called “the bloodiest incident since the end of apartheid,” many are wondering what exactly these new photographs reveal, and if an official cover-up was enacted by the government. Welcome back America. Watch the CBS Evening News, listen to the BBC, read The New York Times and remember: There is a world outside our borders. As the United States moves forward with our government, into four more years with President Obama, let’s do our best to remember that other countries are struggling. That we, in this globalized society, cannot afford to live on our own and removed from the disasters around the world. We must remain compassionate and, as our news coverage slowly reverts back to news instead of politics, we must remain informed.

Social issues sink the Republican Party BRIAN SIEGEL Opinions columnist

he GOP is licking its wounds right now. The people at home can buy into the media narrative all they want that because it was going to be a razor-thin race. But ask any realist, and it was Obama’s race to lose last Tuesday, and boy he didn’t. Last week’s beating is not just the product of a bad campaign by the Romney team; it’s also the beginnings of a major problem for the Republican Party. The GOP needs a candidate with passion and charisma. Though I may not agree all the time with what President Obama says, I can understand his unwavering beliefs. Not an “Etch a Sketch candidate” (to use the words of campaign manager Eric Fehrnstrom) whose positions are constantly changing. Romney was a political chameleon this election season, seemingly changing views on a whim. The problem is that the Republican primary is built for failure. The social conservatives are such a major part of receiving the Republican nomination, yet an extremely crippling general election demographic. They cause the GOP candidate to tack so far to the right that it seems impossible for them to come back

to the middle come November. And that change in platform is probably part of the problem. Not many people would trust a party that goes so far right and then switches its views. At least Obama starts left and stays left. President Obama was a very beatable candidate, still trying to recover from empty promises and an economic letdown. Twice the Republicans have spit out close-to-moderate candidates who don’t stray too far from the script, and twice they have failed. It seems like Republicans have thrown the whole kitchen sink at the problem and nothing has worked. They tried Sarah Palin, they tried Herman Cain, they tried (and I use “tried” generously with this one) Donald Trump. The problem is that the GOP appears to be the party for old, white, Christian men. They are completely disconnected on social issues. The young demographic won’t go for the intolerance of a party who does not give equal rights to gay Americans, and I don’t blame them. Gay rights is the big social issue of our generation, and the Republican Party will continue to struggle if they want to take an ancient view on marriage. The defense generally finds its way back to a religious basis: Try to defend that position without saying God, the Bible, Jesus or anything else related to religion. You can’t do it without sounding like a bigot. The GOP has become disconnected from women voters as well.

Jewelry recovered from Titanic on pubic display BY JOHNNY CLARK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DORAVILLE, Ga. — Most of the jewelry recovered from the wreckage of the Titanic will go on public display for the first time with a three-city tour. The jewelry is from a single purser’s bag found during a 1987 research and recovery mission. The collection includes diamond and sapphire rings, brooches, necklaces, cuff links and a gold pocket watch. Although single pieces of the jewelry have been on display at one or more permanent and traveling exhibits sponsored by Premier Exhibitions Inc., their Atlanta debut is the fi rst time the majority of the collection has been available to the public. In a nondescript industrial office in north Atlanta, Premier

Exhibitions Inc. and RMS Titanic Inc. officials previewed the artifacts before they go on display Friday in Atlanta. Exhibition company Premier is the parent of RMS Titanic, which owns the rights to salvage from the luxury liner’s wreck on the bottom of the North Atlantic. Alexandra Klingelhofer, vice president of collections for RMS Titanic Inc., said the purpose of the exhibit is to show the public the wonder of exploration. “Going down 2 ½ miles below the ocean, recovering a bag, bringing it back up and opening it and fi nding ... jewelry,” Klingelhofer said. “We’re able to give them a glimpse of how it must have been to have opened that for the first time and to see, together, the beautiful jewelry of the Edwardian Period.”

Conservators and curators have been studying and preserving the jewelry to gain a better understanding of individual passengers’ lives aboard the ill-fated voyage. “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition” opened in Atlanta earlier this year to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912. Klingelhofer said this jewelry mini-exhibit is being added to provide personal insight. “We are constantly researching the artifacts, learning more about their story, and we thought jewelry is so beautiful and responds well to people,” she said. After a two-month exhibit at Premier’s display gallery at the Atlantic Station development, the jewels will travel to Orlando, Fla., and Las Vegas.

Women surpass men in number of licensed drivers

BY JOAN LOWY

LOUD LOCAL

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Women have passed men on the nation’s roads. More women than men now have driver’s licenses, a reversal of a longtime gender gap behind the wheel that transportation researchers say is likely to have safety and economic implications. If current trends continue, the gap will only widen. The share of teens and young adults of both sexes with driver’s licenses is declining, but the decline is greater for young men, according to a study by the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute. The study looked at gender trends in driver’s licenses between 1995 and 2010. “The changing gender demographics will have major implications on the extent and nature of vehicle demand, energy consumption, and road safety,” predicted Michael Sivak, co-author of the study. Women are more likely than men to purchase smaller, safer and more fuel-efficient cars; to drive less; and to have a lower fatality rate per distance driven, he said. Over the 15 years the study covered, the share of men ages 25 to 29 years old with driver’s licenses dropped 10.6 percent. The share of women of the same age with driver’s licenses declined by about half that amount, 4.7 percent. Male drivers outnumbered women drivers from the moment the fi rst Ford Model T rolled off the assembly line in 1908, the year the automobile became popular, and through most of the last century. In the 1950s, when only about half of adult women had driver’s licenses, jokes about women drivers were a staple of comedians. But the gap gradually closed. By 1995, men with driver’s licenses slightly outnumbered women, 89.2 million to 87.4 million. By 2010, 105.7 million women had licenses, compared with 104.3 million men. Likewise, in 1995 men with driv-

Diane Spitaliere and her pet dog Izzie sit in her car outside her house in Alexandria, Va., on Nov. 2. Women have passed men on the nation’s roads. More women now have driver’s licenses than men. er’s licenses outnumbered women in every age group except those over 70. By 2010, women outnumbered men among drivers ages 45 and older and between ages 25 and 29 years old. The share of older women who are also hanging onto their driver’s licenses has also increased. “I want to be in my own car for as long as possible. I want to be independent for as long as I can,” said Diane Spitaliere, 58, a retired government worker in Alexandria, Va. Male drivers under age 44 are still slightly more numerous than women of the same age, but that’s only because young men outnumber young women in the general population, the study said. There now are 105 boys born each year for every 100 girls in the U.S. Women outnumber men later in life because they live longer — an average of 80 years for women, compared with about 75 years for men. Rising Internet usage may be part of the reason for the decline in the share of young drivers, especially young men, Sivak said. A

previous study by the transportation institute published earlier this year found that countries that have higher Internet usage also have a lower licensure rate of teens and young adults. “There is some suggestive evidence that Internet contact is reducing the need for personal contact,” he said. Other researchers have theorized that digital media and technology may make driving less desirable and public transportation more convenient. Texting while driving is dangerous and illegal in most states, but there’s no risk to texting or working on a laptop while riding a bus or train. Some transit systems have been seeing significant increases in riders. Another reason for the growing disinterest among young men in driving may be the erosion of the “car-fetish society,” travel behav-

ior analyst Nancy McGuckin said. “Today’s young adults grew up in the back seat of cars stalled in congestion, hearing their folks swear at the endless traffic. Nothing romantic about that!”

CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,

APPARENTLY IN MID-OCTOBER

Customers should get used to Christmas coming early yearly BY REEMA ABI-AKAR

STAFF WRITER

oday’s marketers ensure that even before Americans don their Halloween costumes, they step into their jingle bell-tipped slippers and directly into the holiday season. Nowadays, the American consumer is bombarded with holiday ads starting as early as October, or even September in rare cases. There are early-bird sales, pre-holiday deals, exclusive coupons and special offers available in preparation for a day that won’t arrive for another two months. The commercialization of Christmas is evident, but as snowflakes and mistletoe sneak into mid-autumn commercials, it seems like Christmas is arriving at an earlier time each year. “The simple fact (is) that it is the one holiday that is dominated by various

forms of purchasing ‘things’ for every possible demographic,” said Mark Wolters, visiting assistant professor of business administration, who specializes in marketing. “Halloween has candy and costumes. Easter has eggs ... the Christmas season allows for multiple demographics to be sold to.” Premature advertising may not be as common for other holidays. Imagine Flag Day being advertised two months before its June 14 date. Department stores would be decked out in flags in April — colorful flags, country flags, paper flags, every type of banner or streamer. It may seem like a ridiculous notion, but that’s precisely what happens each year for the Christmas season. “I like hearing Christmas music (beginning around) Thanksgiving, but everything else is just so very commercialized,” said Tabitha Nelson, sophomore in FAA. “You sometimes hear about something new, but then the rest of the time, you’re just getting annoyed by the same commercials over and over.” Nelson is not alone in her irritations concerning this “Christmas in October” market phenomenon. “Surveys show that consumers actu-

ally dislike the fact that stores are putting out their Christmas wares so early,” Wolters said. “The Wal-Mart in Savoy could be seen putting up Christmas décor as early as the end of September.” Despite consumers’ pleas against an early influx of holiday spirit, companies continue to push the envelope on the perceived length of “Christmas season.” Target ran the first major Christmas ad on television this year in mid-October, according to inquisitr.com This begs the question, why would retail stores and other companies continue with such early advertising if the consumers don’t even like it? In an email, Wolters gives three main reasons why companies still do this: inventory management, changing of shoppers’ mentalities and building up the Christmas spirit. First, he said, the stores have a higher chance of selling goods before Christmas (and before the post-Christmas markdowns) if they display them earlier. Next, the stores make shoppers believe that if they do not buy their presents early, they may not be able to get them at all, and they would be out of stock by mid to late December. Finally, companies

attempt to fill up the autumn marketing gap with holiday deals, thus extending the holiday season. “So why not get the Christmas spirit early?” Wolters said. “Firms earn more money, reduce inventory (and) take up space in their seasonal area.” Marketing logic, however, does not always flow smoothly from the business perspective to the customers’ thoughts. “I understand for sales reasons,” said Timothy Johnson, freshman in FAA. “But for the spirit reasons ... it’s like (the companies) are saying, ‘Forget Thanksgiving. It’s more about the presents now.’” Mel Riley, also a freshman in FAA, said that maybe if Black Friday didn’t exist, companies wouldn’t have a reason to advertise quite so early for the holidays. Maybe companies will change their tactics in later years and start the Christmas season later. Until then, whether customers like it or not, they are going to have to put up with candy canes mixed in with Halloween candy.

Laundry service offers convenience to students BY MORGAN QUILICI STAFF WRITER

Nine years ago, Byron Denhart, a University alumnus, was browsing through an entrepreneur magazine when he stumbled upon an article about a laundry service company on the East Coast. Having always wanted to start his own business, Denhart was inspired by the company and decided to model his own business after the idea. About five months later, The Student Valet Inc. was born. “I was working through different ideas and literally read

about this idea in a magazine — it doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to do laundry on a large scale,” Denhart said. “That’s when the entrepreneurial bug kind of grabbed me.” Currently in its seventh year of business, the pickup and delivery laundry and dry-cleaning service began out of Denhart’s home with just three sets of washers and dryers. Now a full-fledged business, the company is run out of a facility in St. Joseph, Ill., with seven washers, eight dryers and six employees. “We go right to your door,

pick up your laundry, do it, and it comes back the next day nice and folded and ready to wear. Literally all you have to do is open up the bag and start wearing your clothes,” Denhart said. The Student Valet primarily serves campus-based students, although they do have a handful of off-campus customers. The company also does commercial work, including linen services for Newman Hall and the Hendrick House, as well as food-service linens for Newman and Bromley halls. The weekly service rate is $1.20 per pound; the one-time

rate is $1.35 per pound. “(Our) weekly service is for the students that want a pickup every week,” Denhart said. “We try and schedule a reoccurring time that works in their schedule, and we show up at basically the same exact time each and every week.” Denhart knew when he started his business that he wanted it to be on a college campus. As far as which college campus to choose, Denhart said, “U of I was just kind of a given.” Tyler Spitz , junior in Business and the president of Zeta Beta Tau, uses The Student

Valet laundry service, as do about 25 members of his house. “Being president and involved with a lot of other things, I don’t have a lot of time to do (laundry),” Spitz said. “It’s not that much more expensive than it is to (do) laundry in our house. ... It’s just really convenient for me when I’m going down to class to bring laundry downstairs, and the next day it comes back and it’s all clean and folded.” Because of students like Spitz, The Student Valet has seen a consistent 20 to 30 percent increase in its business

each year for the past three years. “Our fi rst boost of business, we averaged 250 pounds of laundry a week, and now we’re up in the neighborhood of about 10 times that amount,” Denhart said. “We’re really expanding quite a bit these days.” Denhart picks up the laundry Monday through Thursday in the mornings and drops off laundry again Monday through Friday in the afternoons. He said his job as delivery man is something he truly enjoys.

Tournament takes Rayfield to alma mater BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER

This season’s NCAA bracket brought deja vu for Illinois women’s soccer head coach Janet Rayfield. In 2008, the Illini faced off against Missouri in the first round of the NCAA tournament, defeating the Tigers 4-3 in penalty kicks. The victory advanced Illinois to the second round of the tournament to face North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C., where it lost 3-0. This year, the Illini again faced Missouri in the first round of the NCAA tournament and sealed the victory 3-0 in penalty kicks. They will once again travel to Chapel Hill to compete for redemption against North Carolina, Rayfield’s alma mater. “It’s always a great moment when you can play against coaches that you admire, and certainly there is none that I admire more than Anson (Dorrance) at my alma mater,” Rayfield said. “It’s fun to go back there, and I can go back there with pride and show off this team. I’m excited for them to step out on the field that I played on and play with the kind of pride and intensity that they have instilled in this program.”

Corner kicks create dangerous opportunities The Illini were the first ones on the board with a goal by junior Allie Osoba in the 19th minute. Illinois held the lead at halftime, but Missouri came out with a fiery offensive attack to begin the second half. The Tigers outshot the Illini 17-6, recorded four fouls and were awarded five corner kicks, giving Missouri multiple opportunities to tie the score. Missouri was awarded a corner kick that helped contribute to the setup of its equalizing goal in the 53rd minute by junior Danielle Nottingham. Illinois uses the same plan almost every time to defend dangerous corner kick attempts. “We have a couple of formations, but it is usually the same,” senior Niki Read said. “We do a mix of zone and man-to-man marking, but one of the main things we talk about is (how) the play isn’t over until it is over. We don’t take any mental breaks on corner kicks until the ball is 100 percent out of the box.”

Tyler Griffey rises to take a shot against St. Francis (N.Y.) on Monday night at Assembly Hall. Griffey had 17 points on 7-10 shooting in the 89-64 Illini victory.

Illinois beats St. Francis, sits at 2-0 BY ETHAN ASOFSKY SENIOR WRITER

Illinois confident in penalty kick situations With the score remaining 1-1 after 90 minutes of regulation and two 10-minute overtime periods, a penalty kick shootout decided the match against the Tigers. This is a situation the Illini are familiar with this season and had a mutual feeling of confidence before the shootout began. Illinois goal keeper Steph Panozzo entered the match with 97 saves and earned seven more, increasing her total to 104. She is currently in second place in Illinois history for most saves in a season, and only seven behind leader and current assistant coach Leisha Alcia. Panozzo blocked two out of the three shots by the Tigers, while all three Illinois players successfully converted their shots for a 3-0 victory. “I really feel like penalty kicks are all about a mentality rather than a skill,” senior Shayla Mutz said. “I think because we won against Minnesota in PKs, that gave us confidence, then this game as well will give us confidence if we go into them again, which we hope we don’t have to.”

Thoughts of Hawaii’s sunny skies, sandy beaches and Tuesday’s 8 ½-hour plane ride weren’t enough to derail the Illini men’s basketball team’s focus on Monday. Aside from a five-minute scoring drought late in the game, everything clicked for the Illini as they earned their second win of the season in an 89-64 rout over St. Francis (N.Y.). “I want to acknowledge our seniors and our captains. They did a phenomenal job of having our guys ready to play,” Illinois head coach John Groce said. “I got asked that question a lot over the last two to three days with Hawaii looming. These guys from a mental standpoint practiced really well the last two days.” The Illini rode that preparation to its secondstraight impressive win to open up the season. For those keeping score at home, former Illini basketball coach Bruce Weber had one game last season with a 40-point fi rst half. Two games into his new job in Champaign, Groce is a perfect 2-for-2. And for more than a minute, it seemed like 100 points could even be in the cards, another feat that doesn’t often seem palpable for Illini hoops teams. Following a 15-0 run in the fi nal seven

minutes of the fi rst half, the Illini stormed into the second half, scoring 19 points in the fi rst five minutes to open up a commanding 72-37 lead. With 15 minutes left, it looked like the Illini might reach the century mark for the fi rst time since dropping 105 against Longwood on Dec. 27, 2004, but a for-naught St. Francis run put an end to any wishful thinking. That didn’t stop four Illini players — Tyler Griffey, Tracy Abrams, Brandon Paul and Nnanna Egwu — from scoring double digits and 10 players from tallying at least three points. Griffey in particular had a standout performance, draining 17 points, one point shy of his career-high, on 7-for-10 attempts from the field and 3-for-4 from behind the arc. He also added five rebounds, two blocks and beat his man off the dribble to create his own shot with regularity, all the while St. Francis head coach Glenn Braica was screaming to his players from the bench that Griffey could only pick and pop. “He played like he practiced. I was teasing him the other day,” Groce said. “I saw him miss one in five-on-five drills, and I said: ‘That’s the fi rst time I’ve seen you miss in like 10 days. He’s taking what the defense is giving him, and Tyler has tremendous IQ for the game.’”

Mere hours before the opening tip of his second regular season basketball game at Illinois, head coach John Groce landed his fi fth, and likely fi nal, recruit of the 2013 class. Austin Colbert, a 4-star forward from Gladstone, N.J., according to Rivals.com, verbally committed to Illinois on Monday in a televised event. Colbert selected the Illini over Miami (Fla.) University, Villanova and Seton Hall. The sinewy, 6-foot-9 Colbert cited academics, Illinois’ alumni base and Groce’s coaching style as factors that swayed him toward the Illini. Colbert joins Kendrick Nunn, Malcolm Hill, Maverick Morgan and Jaylon Tate in Illinois’s 2013 class.

On changing the length of the shot clock

Illini, Big Ten reactions to proposed rule changes

Illinois head coach Matt Bollant: “I wouldn’t be for lowering the rim, but I could see a shorter shot-clock, maybe 24 (seconds) or something like that to make us play faster, get more shots up. Fans want to see scoring, and if there’s things that we can do to promote that, I think we ought to consider that or at least try that to help grow our game. It’s probably smart to be thinking about those things of, ‘How do we get more fans to come into the stands?’” Illinois forward Karisma Penn: “If anything, I think we should have a longer shot clock than boys. That rule was always weird to me that our shot clock was less than theirs.”

BY MICHAEL WONSOVER STAFF WRITER

Amid Connecticut head women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma’s comments about the need for change in women’s basketball, several coaches and players voiced their opinions on the subject. Auriemma, as reported by ESPN, expressed concern with attendance across women’s basketball. His idea to increase excitement in women’s basketball would be lowering the rims by around seven inches to increase tip-ins and make lay-ups easier. Members of Illinois’ women’s basketball team, as well as two other Big Ten coaches, voiced their opinions on the subject.

On lowering rims

On changing the size of the basketball Northwestern head coach Joe McKeown: “You have to look at changing things if you feel like they’re not working. I will say this: I would like to see a bigger basketball. I’d like to see us use a big ball again, and I think we miss a lot of lay ups. Some of it is your ball, some of it is you’ve got bad lay-up shooters, and I’ve got a little bit of both probably, but I’ve said that for years. I don’t know about lowering the rims, but I do think we shouldn’t be intimidated by change, either.” Illinois forward Karisma Penn: “I don’t mind. I grew up playing with boys so I’ve always played with a boys’ ball. I actually think I shoot better with a boys’ ball. I wouldn’t mind if the ball was bigger.”

PRITEN VORA THE DAILY ILLINI

Nebraska head coach Connie Yori: “We were together as coaches, and we talked about what it would do to lower the rims to 9-foot or 9-6 because in volleyball you play with a lower net in (women’s) volleyball, and in golf, women’s golfers hit from shorter tees than the men. If you look at the challenge that you would face in lowering the rims ... every gym in the country has 10-foot rims. So it’s from grade school, playgrounds, all the way to (college). I think that’s the challenge.” Illinois head coach Matt Bollant: “It’s hard to know. My one thing is how do we do that across the country, how do you change parks, elementary (schools), middle schools, high schools. It’s not like volleyball, where you just set the net seven inches lower. This is a big deal. It’s not an easy fix, not an easy change. I think if it was, if you could just say, ‘Oh yeah, just crank down every rim seven inches,’ then we could possibly try it. But this is a whole country change that would take a lot of thought and a lot of energy and a lot of money to make it happen.” Illinois forward Karisma Penn: “I think it would be weird. You have to adjust your shot for a lower rim. I could see why (Auriemma) would say that. I could see it, but it would be so hard to get everybody to agree on that. The 10-foot rim has been in place for so long, I just don’t think it would happen anytime soon. It’s been such a consistent in basketball. To change it now, that’s such a drastic change. It’s not like moving the 3-point line back. That’s a drastic change to lower the rim. That would be a hard thing to put into place.”

Mirroring seasons in 5-set matches BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER

The Illinois volleyball suffered its seventh five-set loss Saturday in a game in which it outscored hosting Ohio State. For head coach Kevin Hambly, the pattern of Illinois taking games to five sets (11 this season) is a familiar one. “In ’07, we had the same thing,” he said. “And we lost a ton of five-setters, we were a young team. And that’s

Record Postseason Five-set matches Five-set losses Home losses

what happens with young teams sometimes. You lose a lot of those close sets.” While playing more five-set games means more experience for the young squad, Hambly said losing five-set games has worn on the team. The following is a deeper look at the similarities between the 2007 Illini volleyball team and this year’s rendition.

OUT OF BOUNDS

BY CHAD THORNBURG

Back in August, when the Illini football players were entrenched in Camp Rantoul, Mason Monheim was a hot topic of conversation. As a true freshman, the linebacker was making a quick first impression on the veterans. “He was the first name that would jump to everyone’s mind,” quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase said. “He’s a guy that really just worked his butt off. He’s one of those lunch-pail guys that comes in with a great attitude every day, gives great effort and has gotten better and better as the weeks have gone on.” Monheim has backed the talk with his play on the field. He’s started in eight straight games and is Illinois’ leading tackler with 74 through 10 games this season. After recording a career-high 15 tackles and half a sack against Minnesota on Saturday, Monheim received Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors for the second time in his brief Illini career. “I’m proud of this freshmen class,” head coach Tim Beckman said. “We have a lot of Masons and a lot of guys that have stepped up and don’t always act like they’re 18 years old.” Monheim was named freshman of the week after his 11-tackle, one-forced fumble performance against Penn State on Sept. 29, the first week of Big Ten play.

DARYL QUITALIG THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Mason Monheim (43) surveys the offense during the game against Penn State at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 29. Monheim has stepped up as a team leader and is the only Illini with a Big Ten weekly award this season. The 6-foot-1, 230-pound linebacker from Orrville, Ohio, is the lone Illinois player to receive one of the conference’s weekly awards. The Illini defense hasn’t played up to lofty preseason expectations, but Monheim remains a bright spot in an otherwise bleak season. And while Monheim is listed as a freshman on the depth chart, his teammates talk him up as if he’s a vocal veteran leader. “He has a leading attitude,” senior defensive tackle Glenn Foster said. “He’s a very aggressive player and he has a lot of heart. You don’t see that too much out on the field, and from a young guy, it’s a great thing. We need it.” Junior Jonathan Brown, last season’s leading tackler, has been hampered with injuries this season and missed the Minnesota game. Another freshman linebacker from Ohio, Mike Svetina, started in Brown’s place and has spelled him all year. Injuries and a lack of depth have forced the two Ohio freshmen linebackers into active

roles much sooner than most college freshmen. But first-year players or not, the duo from Ohio isn’t using inexperience and youth as an excuse. The two expect to be regular contributors to a defense that has performed better in recent weeks, despite allowing an average of 31.5 points per game. “We don’t really look at each other and say, ‘Hey, we’re freshmen,’” Monheim said after the game against Ohio State on Nov. 3. “We look at each other and say, ‘Let’s do this.’” For an Illinois team in a 12-game Big Ten losing streak, Monheim and Svetina offer a sign of hope for the future of the program. “He has definitely a bright, bright future,” Scheelhaase said. “Just with how good his instincts are now, with how tough of a player he is now, the sky is the limit for him.”

With 13:30 left in the second frame of Monday’s Illini men’s basketball game, head coach John Groce motioned to Mike LaTulip. The preferred walkon took off his warm-up and headed to the scorers table to check in. Within mere seconds of his entrance into the game, Latulip hit a three to extend the Illini’s torrid shooting streak, which

culminated in a 49.2 field goal percentage on 65 shots. Groce said he was nervous his team would come out flat with the tropical road trip ahead. He can now breathe a sigh of relief Just like any other man headed to Hawaii, he can finally relax.

y Facebook feed is littered with pictures of turkeys and pilgrims, invitations for events over the vacation and countdowns until people go home for break. The long-awaited Thanksgiving break is around the corner, and everybody simply needs to survive through this week. There is one group of students who don’t have much to look forward to: athletes. Yes, athletes don’t have any classes during break, but their sporting schedule moves at full speed ahead while everybody else leaves campus. There’s no going home for them, there are no Black Wednesday celebrations. They don’t have 15-hour TV marathons and they don’t get to spend so much time at home that they get sick of their families. Rather, they have practice and competitions throughout the hiatus from school. Athletes often have a team dinner for Thanksgiving. Men’s basketball travels to Hawaii and women’s basketball to the Bahamas — yes, those are pretty fancy Thanksgiving destinations, but the athletes still have to compete. Football, swimming and diving, and volleyball all have competitions at Northwestern. Volleyball has its final four matches during the break, and wrestling travels to New York. The typical student is burned out right now, and student-athletes have it 10 times worse because they are balancing their schoolwork with competitive athletics. These

athletes have worked arguably harder than everybody else and receive little break in return. I propose a universal collegiate sports bye week for the weekend after Thanksgiving break. This would give all college athletes a much-deserved rest before the final stretch of the academic semester. The season wouldn’t stop completely; there would just be a weekend of no athletic competition across American colleges. The NCAA could sanction this rule, and it would be applicable to all sports. Yes, athletes would still have to practice and work out, but no formal competition would give them the opportunity to relax. The coaches could tone down workouts and allow athletes to recharge before the end of the season. An extra break is key to help athletes get back on their rhythm, especially during a rough season like many Illinois sports are going through right now. It would also give them an additional opportunity to focus on their studies. Athletes could possibly have the opportunity to go home for a few days and spend time with their families. Holidays are supposed to be about spending time with your family, not about furthering a bond as a team. The break would help the athletes gain energy and find a competitive spark to push them through the end of the season. This would make those often lackluster end-of-season matches much more thrilling to watch. And it would lead to a more competitive postseason because the athletes had more of an opportunity to mentally prepare over Thanksgiving break.

One may argue that holidays, especially Thanksgiving, revolve around sports. I believe the best cure for a turkey coma is to lie on the couch and watch football. It’s time to leave that entertainment to the professionals. They are getting paid to play sports, and they do not have to worry about exams and projects looming in the not-so-distant future. A full break could interfere with a teams’ flow, but that is why there would only be one mandated weekend off. From there, coaches can determine the best plan for their team during break. For soccer, a bye week would interfere with the NCAA tournament. The quarterfinals are scheduled for the weekend after Thanksgiving, and the semifinal and championship matches are not until the first weekend of December. When a tournament already extends over a four-week period, one more week would not hurt anyone. If necessary, the quarterfinal match could be moved to a mid-week competition. This break could seem unnecessary for sports like basketball and wrestling, whose seasons have just begun. Although premature, the bye week could allow the athletes to store up energy for the rough days ahead of managing final exams. Thanksgiving break is a glorious time of relaxation and rejuvenation. It’s only right for student-athletes to experience that greatness. Give the athletes a break — it will make everybody happier in the long run.
