The State of the University As president, Timothy Killeen will take over one of the top-ranked universities in the country, but it’s not without its challenges. He will also take over a university facing decreasing state funding and an unreliable partner in the state of Illinois.

imothy Killeen was named the 20th president of the University of Illinois on Wednesday morning, and he is dedicating his presidency to the students. Killeen is the vice chancellor for research and president of the Research Foundation of the State University of New York, a network of 64 state-wide colleges, universities and community colleges. The Wales native and U.S. citizen has had more than 30 years of experience in higher education, serving roles in administration and as a researcher in geophysics and space sciences at the University of Michigan. Killeen earned his Ph.D. from University College London at age 23 and has received three achievement awards from NASA. “I am a genetic optimist, which is not a scientific term,” Killeen said. “I have one gear, and that’s moving forward with optimism.” He said he believes the current viewpoint on higher education is “hunkered down,” and it needs to be more optimistic. He served as an administrator of the National Science Foundation, which provides nearly a quarter of federal research funding for U.S. colleges and universities. His familiarity with

the competition involved in receiving funding will help the research-based University, Chancellor Phyllis Wise said. Killeen, 62, will replace current President Robert Easter, effective July 1, 2015, unless otherwise designated by the Board of Trustees. On learning from Easter, Killeen said he has big shoes to fill and plans to go on a “learning and listening” tour in January. “He and I are going to work together. We’re going to overlap and be partners,” Killeen said. “As he thinks about moving to retirement, he thinks he can get away, but I think we’re going to be connected.” Killeen said he wants to ask others what they want

out of the University, as well as how diversity can be promoted. Board of Trustees Chairman Christopher Kennedy, accompanied by other Uni-

versity officials, introduced the new president at Chicago’s campus around 8:30 a.m. They traveled to the

B. Joseph White 2005–2010

Michael Hogan 2010–2012

Robert Easter 2012–2015

Timothy Killeen 2015

Ikenberry served one of the longest terms in the University’s history with a 16-year tenure. In UrbanaChampaign, Ikenberry led several major academic initiatives, including the creation of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. The diversity on campus increased during his term with the creation of the President’s Scholars Program. After stepping down as president, Ikenberry became a national speaker, professor and serves as the special assistant to the president at the University.

Stukel was an alumnus of the University of Illinois, graduating with his master’s and doctorate degrees in engineering before joining the College of Engineering faculty and eventually serving as chancellor of the Chicago campus. In his time as president, Stukel created the Illinois Connection and increased the size of the Chicago campus, leading UIC to name the James Stukel Towers residence hall after him in 2007. Stukel retired in 2005.

White announced his resignation in 2010 following a summer of investigations regarding an admissions scandal. In May 2009, the Chicago Tribune released a story revealing that the Urbana campus had been giving applicants placed on the “Category I” list preferential treatment. This list consisted of people recommended by University trustees and public figures who influenced University officials to apply more lenient standards. White is currently a James F. Towey professor of business and leadership at the University.

In December 2011, Hogan’s chief-of-staff Lisa Troyer allegedly pretended to be a University senator in an email, hoping to influence discussion in Hogan’s favor. Troyer denied the accusations, claiming her email was hacked, but ultimately resigned. A group of 130 distinguished professors signed a letter of “no confidence” in Hogan. Two weeks after the board told Hogan to repair his relationship with faculty or risk losing his job, Hogan resigned. He currently teaches history at the Springfield campus.

Easter currently serves as the University president and has spent nearly 40 years at the University. So far in his term, he has helped stabilize the University after back-to-back resignations by B. Joseph White and Michael Hogan. Easter served as interim chancellor of the Urbana campus from 2009 to 2011. He previously served as the dean of the College of ACES and department head of animal sciences.

Killeen will begin his term July 1 pending approval by the Board of Trustees on Jan. 15. He is the vice chancellor for research and president of the Research Foundation of the State University of New York. The Wales native and U.S. citizen has had over 30 years experience in higher education, serving roles in administration and as a researcher in geophysics and space sciences at the University of Michigan.

Urbana not cashing in on Carle’s checks Mayor wants hospital to pay tax bill in full BY WALBERT CASTILLO STAFF WRITER

In an ongoing dispute between Carle Foundation Hospital and Urbana, the city is refusing to accept four grants, totaling $100,800, offered by Carle to cover the city’s costs for police and fire protection. The two checks, which were sent in September and have since expired, amounted to $28,200 for fire protection and $39,000 for police protection, said Mark Schultz, Carle’s spokesman. Recognizing the importance of police and fire safety, Carle said in a press release it hoped the checks would lessen the overall operating budget for the Urbana’s fire and police departments Seeing the checks as a “bribe,” Mayor of Urbana Laurel Prussing said it is inappropriate for Carle to send a check because it would mean favoring the opposing side during the lawsuit. “You don’t get to pick and choose what taxes you pay for. When you get a tax bill, that’s your share, and you’re supposed to pay for the whole thing,” Prussing said. “It’s like receiving a bill from the doctor’s office; you can’t just tell them, ‘I will pay for 2 percent of it.’ You have to pay for the whole thing.”

Urbana questions legality Before Carle was granted tax-exempt status, Danny Chun, spokesman for the Illinois Hospital Association, said there have been uncertainties in what the law requires for hospitals to meet a tax-exempt status. “Over the past 10 years, there have been multiple court cases and lawsuits arguing what charitable purpose really means and where the hospitals qualify under the state constitution,” Chun said. The Illinois Hospital Association has always contended that hospitals meet the charitable purpose requirements of the state constitution, Chun said. However, P r ussi ng argues that a charity is “an overall entity that obtains most of the money from charitable donations; however, hospitals are not charities. They’ve written a law saying they are, but it’s in conflict with the constitution.” The Illinois General Assembly passed a law in 2012 that provided clear

FROM 1A

PRESIDENT Urbana campus and held a press conference at 3 p.m. in the south lounge of the Illini Union. As president, Killeen will make an annual base salary of $600,000. With potential performance and retention bonuses, he could make up to $730,000 per year. His compensation is ranked seventh out of all Big Ten presidents. After a nearly eightmonth search, Killeen was unanimously selected by the board based on recommendations from the presidential search committee, which was formed in late April 2014. The committee began with 200 candidates, which was narrowed to 25 over several months. The board interviewed three finalists selected by the committee on Nov. 11.

guidelines and standards for hospitals to meet taxexempt status, which Carle met. The law allowed non-profit hospitals to be docked the calculated value from charity care in local taxes, said Alderwoman Diane Marlin, Ward 7.

Urbana’s tax rate rises Caught in a lawsuit between Carle and the city, citizens of Urbana are facing a 10-to-11 percent property tax increase, because 86 percent of Carle’s tax-exempt property is in Urbana. “The medical center benefits 40 county regions in two states, yet one small city is expected to wear the financial burden for the entire region,” Marlin said. In order to maintain the Urbana facilities such as schools, parks, businesses and homes, Dannie Otto, member of the Concerned Citizens of Urbana, said when a major property owner like Carle has its property tax exempt, it shifts the burden onto everyone else. “For my home, which is a home that we’ve restored after 10 years, my tax bill went up about $1,000 dollars in 2012 to 2013,” Otto said. “And this will increase in the years to come.” Observing the data from the 2013 summary of revenues and expenses produced by Carle, Otto, pointed out that the total revenue of Carle was $896 million and the excess of revenue over expenses was $196.8 million. “From this data, Carle Hospital is making a net income of at least 25 percent, meaning they are extremely profitable with the money they have left over,” Otto said. “Most private businesses wouldn’t even dream of that much net operation income.” Otto believes the amount of money going toward charitable care is a very small portion of the overall $196.8 million Carle made in excess revenue. “The bottom line here is Carle used to pay taxes, Carle can afford taxes and Carle should once again pay their fair share of taxes that are necessary to keep this community a vibrant, wonderful place to live in,” Otto said.≠

Semester’s end brings transfers Intercollegiate transfer varies by college, major BY JANE LEE STAFF WRITER

As the fall semester comes to a close and intercollegiate transferring applications have been sent, those who are on the brink of changing their studies will soon receive their results. Within the first weeks on campus as a freshman, Westley Banks, sophomore in FAA, knew he wanted to study jazz performance rather than architecture. “I was worried that changing majors and switching over into an entirely new field would be kind of harmful,” Banks said. Banks said he envisioned the transfer process would be difficult, but he felt it was something he had to do. “If it weren’t for my cheesy love for music, I wouldn’t have even wanted to deal with (transferring),” Banks said. While some students come into the University with a chosen major, 21.2 percent of 2014 fall freshmen came in undeclared in the Division of General Studies. With more than 200 majors, the process of intercollegiate transfer gives students the chance to explore their developing academic interests. The largest number of DGS students transfer into LAS, the University’s largest college. Barbara Hancin-Bhatt, associate dean of LAS, said LAS receives most of its transfer students from DGS. “DGS students made up 73 percent of our (intercollegiate transfers) last year,” Hancin-Bhatt said. “We had 1,0135 students transferring in last year from other colleges on campus, and 757 were from DGS.” Umberto Ravaioli, senior assistant dean for undergraduate programs in Engineering, said Engineering has seen more than 100 students transfer from DGS each of the past few years including 144 in 2013.

The competition factor

Walbert can be reached at wcasti2 @dailyillini.com.

During the wave of intercollegiate transfer — either in the spring or fall, depending on when the college opens up applications — some majors will see more competition than others. Daniel Turner, director of DGS, said the two most competitive colleges on campus are Business and Engineering. “Business for instance, the only opportunity that a student has to apply to business is May after their freshman year. That’s it,” Turner said. “Engineering, a student can apply multiple times. Liberal Arts and Sciences has multiple (intercollegiate transfer) periods that a student can do.” With certain majors being more popular than others, the acceptance capacity is reliant on the total number of applicants. Julian Parrott, associate dean in the College of Media, said more interest

“One of the great things about Tim Killeen is his global mission to empower and educate the people of the state but to also serve the industries that are a part of that state’s economy,” Kennedy said. He said Killeen’s strong support of the school’s landgrant history is much different from the traditional “elitist” education of East Coast schools. After spending several months poring over candidates, Nick Burbules, member of the search committee and professor of educational policy, said he is thrilled with the selection. “I think that this is not just looking for the new president but also a change in understanding of the presidency itself,” he said. “I think that as an advocate and the public face of the University, he has the perfect combination of experience.”

The University president is the chief executive officer of the University, as well as the executive agent of the Board of Trustees. Killeen will work with the board to establish general University goals and practices. Additional responsibilities include ensuring continued economic support for the University and representing the University to the state government, the public, corporate and civic leaders, alumni and donors. “State funding is one problem — investment support, research, grant funding — there are many pieces which contribute to this problem,” Killeen said. “And I think what I would like to do is to really indulge the exciting value proposition of what the University of Illinois is to the state, for the state and for the population.” Although he has yet to speak with Governor-elect Bruce Rauner or other state

creates more competition within majors. “Because of so many students that are interested in entering the program — although we don’t have a specific number of spaces — there are space limitations, so that increases the competitiveness of the pool,” Parrott said. The most popular majors to transfer to LAS include psychology, economics, chemical engineering, political science, math and English, Hancin-Bhatt said. Ravaioli said mechanical engineering and computer science are particularly competitive majors in Engineering. However, he said applicants who meet the minimum qualifications, which he defined as a B-average in courses like physics and calculus, have a good chance of being accepted. “If a major is on the stronger enrollment pressure, then it becomes competitive and the student has to have much better qualifications at minimum to be able to compete for that specific major,” he said.

Massive snowstorm claims lives, causes severe damage in upstate New York A massive snowstorm that hammered much of upstate New York has claimed several lives and left thousands stranded along highways and inside homes as temperatures hover below freezing. More snow for the Buffalo area is expected into the weekend and totals for the

region could break national records for the most snowfall in a 24-hour span. In the Buffalo area, several counties were hit with 5 to 6 feet of snow overnight and into Wednesday with dozens of motorists stranded in cars and trucks in the south suburbs of the city.

Parisian, Belgian identified among ISIS militants in video of slaughter Security officials have identified two more Europeans among the Islamic State militants who appeared in a video recording their slaughter of Syrian troops last week. The Paris prosecutor’s office said 22-year-old Mickael Dos Santos, from the Paris suburb of Champigny-sur-Marne, had been identified from the video

in which the beheading of 15 Syrian soldiers was conducted before the camera and the severed head of American aid worker Peter Kassig was also shown. Belgian authorities also put a name to another of the 16 suspects appearing in the gruesome video: Abdelmajid Gharmaoui, 28, from the Flemish town of Vilvoorde.

Mexico’s first lady selling $7 million house from business conglomerate VILLAHERMOSA, Mexico — Mexico’s first lady says she’ll sell an opulent $7 million house she obtained from a business conglomerate that’s profited from hundreds of millions of dollars in state contracts. First lady Angelica Rivera de Pena made the announcement in a seven-minute vid-

eo posted to YouTube late Tuesday. “I have nothing to hide,” Rivera said, noting that she’d built up substantial assets during a 25-year career as an actress and personality in the Televisa media empire. “I have always acted in an ethical way.”

Holistic reviews and recommendations Each college has specific criteria and requirements for intercollegiate transfers. The level of difficulty to be accepted into colleges often depends on academic standing. Hancin-Bhatt said when transferring into some majors, students need a 2.75 or 3.25 GPA, but the baseline GPA for transferring into any major in LAS is 2.0. Colleges prefer students to have taken coursework related to their interest of study and a select few require essays or portfolios. Ryan Gower, interim associate dean of Applied Health Sciences, said when reading essays required of applicants, the college determines if the college is the best fit for them. “We really do like it if we can see you take maybe up to six hours in our 100 level courses, so we see how you perform, but we do not require it,” Gower said. With all the criteria that determine a student’s acceptance to the college and major of their choice, colleges look at more than just numbers. While he wouldn’t transfer again, Banks said he’s happy he made the transfer to pursue his passion for music. “This is my first semester as a Jazz performance major. So far, I love it,” Westley said. “It’s just been harder to adjust than expected.” However, he said it has been difficult to adjust to being in classes geared for first year students. “I wouldn’t switch again. It just feels like the whole ground is shaking and everything is unstable,” Banks said. “My advice is to transfer if you know that you want to.”

Police examine a car destroyed by the blast after a suicide car bomb outside the gate of the governor's office in Irbil, Iraq, killed at least six people on Wednesday.

Suicide car bomb kills at least 6 people in northern Iraqi city of Irbil A suicide car bomb detonated Wednesday in the northern Iraqi city of Irbil, capital of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region, killing at least six people and wounding more than a dozen others, authorities said.

The mid-day attack, near the Kurdish government’s headquarters, stunned the normally secure city, which has been largely insulated in the ongoing war against Islamic State militants.

Pennsylvania AG: Emails between state employees contained child pornography HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane made a new accusation Tuesday in the state’s pornographic email scandal, saying the sexually explicit messages exchanged by state officials and employees sometimes

contained images involving children. In an interview with CNN, Kane said she was being prevented from investigating the email scandal because of court orders, which she declined to describe.

Kennedy said all of the state leaders he has spoken to about Killeen have been receptive. Killeen said his goals for the University center around student diversity, affordability, economic revitalization and faculty recruitment. “I’ve made a lifelong career commitment to excellence and service in the public good, which really fits well in the Illinois narrative,” Killeen said. “When I look back, I see that I’ve been circling Illinois all these years. This feels to me like the right end-capstone to my career, so I’m going to give it everything I have.”

Feng Gao holds a poster that expresses his view that the Hong Kong protests are like "Stigmergy," the leaderless organization of anthills, on Wednesday in China.

Hong Kong student protestors struggling to negotiate a strategic retreat HONG KONG — They captured the world’s attention and defied skeptics who doubted they could stand up to Beijing for long. Now, after 52 days, the students and other pro-democracy protesters who have occupied Hong Kong streets can’t seem to agree how to marshal a strategic retreat. They’re tired, divided and increasingly an irritant to the public. Many want to end this phase of their protest peaceably, while others seem determined to clash with police, who face public pressure to clear them from

the streets — with force if necessary. That clearance could come any day now, especially after Wednesday, when a splinter group of demonstrators used a metal barricade to break into the Legislative Council building in downtown Hong Kong about 1 a.m. Police used batons and pepper spray to prevent what appeared to be an attempt to occupy the legislative chambers. Three officers were reportedly injured. Six protesters were arrested.

THE DAILY ILLINI

EDITORIAL Chancellor Wise has made diversity one of her top priorities, and you should make it one of yours, too. When we say diversity, we mean it in all senses of the word.

HOW AWKWARD WILL YOUR THANKSGIVING BE? CAMRON OWENS

Socioeconomic diversity

One of our concerns as students is tuition. As president, we hope you will be able to make it less expensive for students to go here, especially in-state students. The University of Illinois is supposed to represent the entire state, not just the welloff who can afford to attend the University, and not just the downtrodden who qualify for need-based financial aid to help pay for their schooling. The University seems to forget about the middle level: the working class, who want to go here but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it without a little help. Chancellor Wise compared this phenomenon of forgetting the middle class to a donut hole, where they are reminiscent of the forgotten center when it comes to financial need. And it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help anyone when students have to acquire mounds of debt to get an education.

Academic diversity

We admire your background in research and the sciences. We realize that much of the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources must be placed there, especially to maintain our high standing in areas such as engineering. But we also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the rest of the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs to be forgotten. We have plenty of top-50 programs in the arts and social sciences. For our campus to remain academically diverse and a top-notch institution, we must concentrate on upkeeping those parts of the school, too, so that we can attract a range of successful, qualified students into a range of different areas of study.

Racial and ethnic diversity

We need socioeconomic diversity, we need academic diversity, we need racial and ethnic diversity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we need it all. A greater number of international students are attending the University, which is something we commend, but fewer African-American students and Native American students are coming here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something we take issue with. During your efforts, please help make everyone feel welcome here. This includes not only students from different countries, but even local students who come from different backgrounds.

Diversity of ideas

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve struggled with this one a little bit recently, but this should be as high of a priority as any. We need to make sure faculty know they are able to speak out, no matter what their ideas are. Whether they support Israel or Palestine, whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Democrat or Republican, whatever their ideals, whatever their backgrounds, we need to make sure this is a campus where people are encouraged to speak openly and freely. We need to make sure everyone feels welcomed, and no one feels silenced. We heard you had to clean up a mess at State University of New York. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you and President Easter can bond over when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning the ropes over the next seven months.

Champaign-Urbana citizens gather in the Urbana High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cafeteria during the 2013 Annual Thanksgiving Dinner.

Fall break activities help C-U community BY SUSAN SZUCH STAFF WRITER

For many students, Thanksgiving Break means taking a bus, driving or flying home to see family and friends. However, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean there is any shortage of things to do for those who stay at the University. From simply enjoying the company of others on Thanksgiving Day to volunteering, these upcoming events not only benefit students, but the community as well.

Urbana High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 43rd Annual Thanksgiving Dinner

The Urbana High School student senate office is bustling with high school students taking inventory of canned goods, making decorations and creating flyers. Even with a week to go before their big night, the atmosphere is lively and productive. Urbana High School is having its annual Thanksgiving Dinner on Nov. 27 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cafeteria, located at 1002 S. Race St. in Urbana. Planning the event is a yearlong affair, said Maddie Headtke, student senate president and senior in high school. The students have to start raising money at the start of their school year, looking at previous years to see how much money they could potentially need and how many people could attend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot in the beginning to do, with the letters and watching things come together, and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lull in the middle, which is kind of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in right now,â&#x20AC;? Headtke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Okay, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the food ahead of time or start decorating,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be two days before, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be crazy.â&#x20AC;? Despite the extensive planning and resources needed for the event, being able to give people a place to socialize is rewarding to Mia Radanavong, student

These rounds are sorority spirit, Illini pride and formalwear.

DOWNLOAD your music out there; like we released everything for free at the beginning but now we have it only available for download,â&#x20AC;? Wendler said. Due to the popularity of these streaming sites, artists have to be more innovative in order to make money in the digital age. To combat low record sales, there is an increase in the number of partnerships with corporations that artists have to establish in order to continue doing what they love, Maccora said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A brand partnership is really powerful. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to work with brands to push your music by pushing a brand at the same time. It can be mutually beneficial,â&#x20AC;? Wendler said. However, there could be consequences for linking up with a potent name brand. In Aug ust, Usher announced that his new sin-

Radanavong said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartwarming to connect with people that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, and just getting to know that person and who they are and what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like.â&#x20AC;?

Turkey Trot

The Urbana Park District is hosting the 47th annual Turkey Trot on Nov. 27 at Lake House in Crystal Lake Park in Urbana. Check in is at 8 a.m. and the race starts at 9 a.m. The event is a mile-long run and walk to help the Urbana Park District offer free and reduced-price summer camp for children next year. Free hot chocolate is provided as well as a prize raffle after the race.

Daily Bread Soup Kitchen Volunteers in the lobby of New Covenentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fellowship greet guests, while others prepare salads and desserts. All contribute to helping Daily Bread Soup Kitchen serve about 250 hungry guests a day, said Karen Kane, Daily Bread board member, and each leaves with a sack lunch for later in the day. This year, the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen will be closed on Thanksgiving, but will be open on Nov. 26 with a meal including turkey to celebrate Thanksgiving. In the past, Daily Bread has been open on Thanksgiving, but in recent years Kane has found that the number of guests who attended Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners have dwindled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some years we were open on Thanksgiving Day and a lot of people like to volunteer on Thanksgiving Day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is wonderful â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but

the holidays tend to be times when our guests are more likely to be with their families than they are otherwise. So, we really were finding we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have very many guests on Thanksgiving and Christmas,â&#x20AC;? Kane said. The completely volunteerrun organization has often relied partially on studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We traditionally have about 50 or so (college students volunteering each semester),â&#x20AC;? Kane said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They might only come once, or they might come more often than that, but we have a lot of university â&#x20AC;&#x201D; primarily U of I and some Parkland students â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that come and volunteer with us, which we appreciate.â&#x20AC;?

Junior Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival of Trees

The 19th Annual Festival of Trees will be taking place on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is $5 per adult. Students have the opportunity to win one of the trees, wreaths or gift baskets that are raffled or auctioned-off. Prizes this year include a signed guitar, a tree with signed country CDs and a RAMS ticket package. Local vendors make up a gift gallery where students can purchase holiday gifts. The event benefits Junior Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community projects, including Junior League Bright Starts, where they provide students with skills to succeed in kindergarten, and League Locker, a warehouse that provides teachers with supplies they need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to provide this opportunity for the community to come celebrate the start of the festive holiday season, while learning all about the projects Junior League supports,â&#x20AC;? said event chairperson Laura Gerhold in a press release.

Hedges said that the women are judged based on interviews given to the judges, their choices in outfits and their answers to the questions asked during the pageant. Some of the questions the contestants were asked were what their most embarrassing moments were, what Hogwartsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house she would be placed in and why, and how one million pesos would be

He even incorporated the mascot of Cheerios in his marketing strategies when promoting his new single. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Artists are moving toward working with big corporations and stuff, and I wonder if the art gets changed because it is acceptable or not to a big corporation. And then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like maybe the art that is coming out or the music that is coming out is just the stuff that is going to be approved through them,â&#x20AC;? Maccora said. The evolution of the music industry potentially leaves artists in a void. Sometimes they are forced to link up with powerful corporations who could conceivably alter their art, but their options are so limited for income that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always walk away from these big deals. Maccora reflected on a story he heard from a manager about an artist in the 1970s who turned down a $500,000 deal from Coca-Cola.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if anybody would do that now,â&#x20AC;? Maccora said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then you could have someone like CocaCola calling the shots, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what (artists) have to do now to survive because we love music. It sucks for you (the audience).â&#x20AC;? Walking away from those deals could mean pouring years of energy into a body of work and then receiving little to no monetary value for that collection. Mansions on the Moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members recall working on their first single for almost three years and other singles for a year to two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy that someone can just download something for free where I had to take 10 trips on the bus back and forth to mixing sessions. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to sugarcoat it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it definitely sucks,â&#x20AC;? Maccora said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the silver lining in all of this is the fact that we got to make the music.â&#x20AC;?

Illegal downloads, streaming create problems for indie bands BY DARRAH PERRYMAN

H

STAFF WRITER

ere, in this enclosed space, the concept of illegally downloading music or streaming songs for free is obsolete. Here, the music consumes the intimate room and the pure simplicity of the art ignites fire within the audiencesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes. Here, the notes chase each other up and down the roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walls and dance into the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limbs, inspiring excitement and movement. In this enclosed space, this art cannot be stolen. It is vibrant, it is electric â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is theirs. Mansions on the Moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music brought magnetic vibes to The Canopy Club on Friday, and the threeyear-old bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members reflected on their progression as a band and how the transformation of the music industry has affected their music sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would make music if no one listened to it anyway,â&#x20AC;? said Ted Wendler, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guitarist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is something that I just do ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intrinsic to me, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always done it. ... I was doing it before anyone was listening.â&#x20AC;? Mansions on the Moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hip-hop and R&B inspired music caught the attention of The Neptunes and Shay Hayley in 2011, leading the band to develop parts of its first album at The Neptunesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; studio. Now the band is on tour funded by its sponsorship with Lyynks, a music platform that streams independent music. As a developing and independent band, it endures the effects of illegally downloading music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if it is right or wrong but it sucks for artists trying to make a living,â&#x20AC;? said Lane Shaw, drummer of Mansions on the Moon. The music industry faces this dilemma as music sales continue to decrease this year. According to data collected by Nielson in its 2014 Mid-Year Music Industry Report, album sales have decreased by 14.9 percent since last year. While the lack of album sales are hitting the music industry hard, some argue that the biggest detriment is felt by the artists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Artists) make less money because record companies have this thing called 360 deals,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Maccora, bassist of Mansions on the Moon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any of your merchandise money, that would be just for the artists. Now they can take a huge percentage of that if they have it in the contract; they can also take a huge percentage of your live show. So now more than ever artists are going to get the bad end of the deal.â&#x20AC;? The 360 deals began in response to the deterioration of the music industry, specifically because of the sharp decline in record sales. This deal allows record companies to fund the artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tours and marketing bills, but in return, the companies get percentages from the other outlets of artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; income, such as live shows, merchandise sales and music sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But live shows are still important. ... If you can really perform and entertain and portray that song, that is always going to be really valuable,â&#x20AC;? Shaw said. The debate over free music is not a new phenomenon. In the past, it silently developed, slowly interrupting the rhythm of the music industry over time. Today, users can illegally download music directly onto a phone or iPod and stream music for free on sites like Pandora, Spotify or 8tracks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since the spread of technology, you really cannot contain music,â&#x20AC;? said Devante Barbee, junior in Education and avid Spotify user. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to stop it. Technology is too good.â&#x20AC;? Despite the popularity of streaming music, artists can still make money from sites like Spotify, which on average pays artists $0.006 to $0.0084 per play. According to Daniel Ek, CEO and founder of Spotify, in a Nov. 11 blog post, Taylor Swift could have made approximately $6 million a year if she would have kept her music available to stream on Spotify. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a good amount of money from that

(streaming sites) as well, so its almost like another revenue stream. ... I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a necessary evil in a sense, and then you just hope people buy tickets to your shows,â&#x20AC;? Wendler said. Financially speaking, the revenue from streaming cannot compare to the funds that iTunes generates depending on the record label; however, it is a way for artists to get exposure for their music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many ways to get music now, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a small band itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just assumed that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be free and definitely free for streaming.

Foxy Lady Contest raises money for a good cause BY TAYLOR LUCERO STAFF WRITER

This Wednesday concluded the 40th annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Foxy Lady Contest: Battle of the Sorority Girls!â&#x20AC;? presented by Alpha Gamma Rho at The Canopy Club. The Foxy Lady Contest had 12 different sorority members from 12 different sororities competing in the pageant. Josh DuBois, junior in Business, stated that each sorority chooses which member will represent it. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner was Julia Benson, freshman in Applied Health Sciences and Kappa Delta member. The money raised at the Foxy Lady Contest will be going toward Katie Hubbard, a volunteer at with the Illini Navigators who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in September. The contest will aid in medical expenses as well as helping give the four-child family the chance to spend time together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are just amazing,â&#x20AC;?

said Katie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going through a hard time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing to watch your family and friends, and even complete strangers rally around you.â&#x20AC;? Alex Johns, sophomore in ACES and Alpha Gamma Rho recruitment chair, knew Norman Hubbard from the Illini Navigators, which Norman is head pastor in. Four members of the fraternity, including Johns, go to Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bible study. It was there that they learned his wife, Katie, who also works with Illini Navigators, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Norman described the fundraising event for their family as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a tremendous blessing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing way for us to see the student community at the University of Illinois get behind us,â&#x20AC;?

Memphis visits womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoops BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER

With its 66-48 win over Robert Morris on Tuesday, Illinois basketball has started the season 2-0 for the fi rst time since the 2008-09 season. The Illini will try to keep that streak alive Thursday when they host the Memphis Tigers at State Farm Center. The Illini have won their fi rst two games with stingy defense and have held both of their opponents under 70 points, a feat the team accomplished just 10 times all of last season. The key to Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success on the defensive end has been forcing turnovers. The team has forced more than 25 turnovers in both games so far. Freshman center Chatrice White explained how the Illini caused so many takeaways after the victory against Robert Morris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our energy level and jumping to the ball,â&#x20AC;?

In her fi rst two games in orange and blue, White has been a presence in the paint and had her fi rst career 20 -point effort against Robert Morris.

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already tired of watching Illinois basketball play schools youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never heard of, I have good news. The Illini will get their first real test in a week, at the Las Vegas Invitational during Thanksgiving weekend. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play two games in two days against actual teams with name recognition, broadcast on actual TV (not just online) and it will feel like college basketball has actually arrived in central Illinois. But until then, the Illini must take care of business on Friday and Monday, with Austin Peay and Brown set to visit State Farm Center for two games in four days. Illinois already has two wins under its belt, and its 11456 victory over Coppin State came in impressive fashion. The 80-71 slugfest against Georgia Southern? Not so much. Sophomore Malcolm Hill attributed his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening night struggles to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;too-coolâ&#x20AC;? mentality the team felt in its first game of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were probably feeling ourselves a little bit,â&#x20AC;?

But the Wildcats have nine McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All-Americanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on their roster, and an embarrassment of riches at their disposal. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also apparently capable of flipping a switch when the bright lights come on, as evidenced by their 30-point demolition of No. 5 Kansas Tuesday night.

No. 10 volleyball falls short to No. 2 Badgers BY NICHOLAS FORTIN STAFF WRITER

The No. 10 Illinois volleyball team came so close. Illinois (21-7, 13-4 Big Ten) gave No. 2 Wisconsin all it could handle in the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second meeting of the season. Three of the four sets went past 25 points, but in the end the Badgers (25-2, 16-1) were too much. The Illini lost in

four sets by scores of 13-25, 26-24, 25-27, 26-28. While the match seemed to be a toss-up, the fi rst set was anything but. From start to finish, the set belonged to Wisconsin. Illinois cut the lead to as few as two points twice in the early going, but never closed the gap. Wisconsin broke off runs of four- and six-unanswered points on

the way to a decisive fi rst set victory. Illinois showed its resiliency in the second set, shrugging off the lopsided fi rst set loss. After senior outside hitter Morganne Criswell put away a kill to give the Illini a 14-13 lead, the Badgers went on a run of five unanswered points. During the run, Illinois used both of its

timeouts in the set as the Badgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead grew to 18-14. Illinois scored immediately after the second timeout to stop the run, which started a string of four unanswered points for the Illini to knot the set at 18. With their lead evaporated and the second set tied, the Badgers called timeout.

Penn State defense presents challenge in must-win for Illini BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

The off-the-field distractions are abundant. The on-the-field necessities are even more so. With a 4-6 record, the Illini football team needs to win its fi nal two games to reach bowl eligibility — something the program has failed to do since defeating UCLA in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in 2011. But with the looming suspicions of head coach Tim Beckman’s firing at the end of the season and another losing year becoming more and more possible, there are distractions all around the program heading into Saturday’s game against Penn State. “Kids are more resilient nowadays than they’ve ever been,” offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said. “These kids have got a lot going on. The kids just move on, which in my mind is a good thing. Football’s an important part of everybody’s lives, but family’s the most important thing and your

education’s pretty important too.” Cubit said technological differences between his generation and the players’ is a major factor too, with players being able to jump on social media following a game or get distracted from a loss by going on their cellphones or watching any of a thousand television channels. The c o o r d i n a t o r ’s offense saw uncharacteristic struggles last week in a 30-14 loss to Iowa. Starting quarterback Wes Lunt returned from a five-week absence and the expectations for the Illini passing game were high. The quarterback was pulled from the game in the fourth quarter, throwing a season-low 102 yards for just one touchdown with a 56 percent completion rating. It was the worst he’s been all season. Beckman said the offense didn’t play up to expectations. “It’s been more on us at times offensively than it’s

been on somebody doing something to us,” Beckman said. “We’ve just been hurting ourselves offensively.” Lunt said the Illini will bring a greater level of intensity the rest of the season, knowing they need to win out. But Illinois needs enough intensity to roll past a Nittany Lions defense that ranks fourth in the country in points against (16.2). When it comes to its rushing defense, Penn State’s the best in the nation (83.1 yards per game) and the team’s passing defense is 16th, allowing 182.5 yards per game. The Nittany Lions’ secondary is the most threatening to Illinois’ offensive scheme, which focuses heavily on passing the ball when Lunt is taking snaps. Penn State is 10th in the country with 15 picks. On the opposite sideline, Illinois’ defense ranks worst in the conference, allowing 493.5 yards per game. “We’re just getting beat,” Beckman said. “We’ve got

Illinois head coach Tim Beckman may be coaching his last game at Memorial Stadium against Penn State on Saturday. other than the guys that are out there playing,” Beckman said. “You can bash or you can do whatever you’ve got to do, but that ain’t helping the 18- to 21-year-old person who’s trying. Are they trying? Heck yeah, they’re trying.” And with 18 seniors walking into Memorial Stadium for their fi nal home game, the effort is expected to be there, fighting to reach a bowl game for the first time

in three years. “We’ve got to continue to build this program,” Beckman said. “And this program needs to be continually built.” The looming question is whether that process will continue with or without Tim Beckman.

to become better up front.” Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg will look to pick apart an Illini defense that has made a habit out of allowing big plays. Coming off a freshman season where he broke school records for completions (231), passing yards (2,955) and touchdowns (20) as a freshman, Hackenberg has had more difficulty in his second year. The sophomore has thrown 14 interceptions with just seven touchdown passes. “He’s still a great player,” defensive coordinator Tim Banks said. “I think his surrounding cast is just a little bit different than what he had last year.” But while the Illini players look to focus on one game at a time, the team’s attention is being spread out by whatever the consequences might be if Illinois doesn’t win its next two contests. “This program’s not about the media, it’s not about me — it’s not about anybody

Illinois looks to improve upon a flat offensive performance last week against Iowa. The Illini totaled just 235 total offensive yards against the Hawkeyes. The Illini average 360.2 yards per game. Even with the return of quarterback Wes Lunt, Illinois managed just 147 passing yards compared to a 255.6 average. Of note: The Illinois offense will face tough red zone competition. Penn State is ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten for best red zone defense, 75.9 percent of chances score. Illinois is ranked last in red zone offense. The Illini have scored only 69.4 percent of the time. In the Iowa game, the Illini failed to get into the red zone and score.

DEFENSE

Illinois’ offense will be facing one of the toughest defenses it has seen all year. Penn State’s defense is one of the best in the nation. Ranking third overall, the Nittany Lions have allowed an FBS-best 83.1 rushing yards per game, while the team is ranked 16th overall with just 182.5 passing yards per game against it. Of note: Linebacker Mike Hull will be looking to cause trouble for the Illini offense. The linebacker has a combined 11 tackles (good enough for 10th best in the country) and also has an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery this season.

At the beginning of the season, Ferguson was expected by many to be the Illinois offense’s breakout player of the year. He hasn’t been that good. He is averaging 8.2 yards per catch, down from his average of 10.7 last season. After averaging 5.5 yards per carry last season, he’s at 4.9 this year. He hasn’t been as efficient as last year, and with the Illini’s quarterback situation in flux, he has struggled. If the Illini want to do anything against Penn State’s defense, Ferguson needs to make plays.

The Nittany Lions beat Temple 30-13 to secure bowl eligibility for its first time since heavy sanctions were imposed after the Joe Paterno-Jerry Sandusky scandal. Christian Hackenberg was intercepted twice by the Owls, but Temple quarterback P.J. Walker threw four picks of his own to four different Penn State defenders. The Nittany Lions allowed the Owls only 248 yards of offense and just eight first downs, improving to 6-4.

EYE ON THE ENEMY: PENN STATE LINEBACKERS Mike Hull, Nyeem Wartman and Brandon Bell are the starting linebackers for Linebacker U and are also the team’s three leading tacklers. Hull is one of the best linebackers in the country and leads the Big Ten in tackles. He was not named a semifinalist for the Butkus Award, given to the nation’s top linebacker, but was placed on the watch list for the Bednarik Award, given to the nation’s best defensive player. The Penn State defense is the third-ranked defense in the country, due in a large part to Hull and crew. Illinois will have a difficult time gaining yards against this group.

I

t’s your senior year of college and you haven’t been to an Illinois football game since you willingly joined Block I not knowing any better as a freshman. I challenge you: Go to the Illini football game Saturday. Most likely you are laughing at me for even suggesting such a horror. Go to an Illini football game, you hungover undergrads say, but I have laundry to do and the dog needs walking and the paint drying on my wall

THOMAS Illinois. From this angle, it’s a four-year compilation of campus locations that each have a special place in Thomas’ heart. And it’s from this bird’s eye view where Thomas can reflect. You get a chance have those memories,” Thomas said. “You can look back on them and say, ‘Man, I really built a lot of things on this campus as far as relationships, bonds with certain people and just leaving behind something people that will remember you by,’ ... I think that’s really special.” From this perch, he can see the Quad. He can see the Armory. He can see his old dorm, Taft-Van Doren, where he met his roommate and best friend, former Illini Jonathan Brown. But he sees it all with a shift in perspective. And he knows that time has changed this. “If I came up here and did that (go up to the press box) my freshman year, it wouldn’t look anywhere near the same as it looks now,” Thomas said. “I remember everything looked so different to me then, but it’s all the same. Just different, I don’t know why, it’s funny to me.” As he’s changed, he’s grown with the team and used his senior leadership this year to help guide Illinois. “This senior class really had a chance to bring everyone full throttle,” Thomas said. “Just bringing everyone closer, bringing everyone together and getting everyone to really buy into what we’re doing.” His performance at the Homecoming game led to a win against Minnesota that he’ll remember. The atmosphere with its electric crowd, the grey ghost-like Red Grange jerseys and his play all made the game one he’ll never forget. Head coach Tim Beckman has realized what his seniors have done for the Illini. “They’ve done a great

job being role models to a young football team,” Beckman said. “So I can’t be more proud. As I told each and every one of them, I’ll do anything for them. They’ve definitely tried to do everything for us as a family here to make us better.” It’s the people, places and moments like this that might make Thomas want to turn back the clock. But as his college football days dwindle, it’s his future he’s excited about. Thomas wants to see how far he can take his playing career. After his days of suiting up are over, he wants to coach. For him, football is something that feels natural. Outside linebackers coach and hybrid positions coach Al Seamonson has called Thomas a bigger picture player who is aware of more than just his position. “Earnest is certainly a high energy guy, very focused on the game of football,” Seamonson said. “He’s very knowledgeable. He’s got football intelligence, football savvy. You’ve got to contain that sometimes, where you can’t try to do more than you’ve got to do, but I think he’s learned that as a player, and he’ll learn that as a coach, too.” But for now, he’s going to spend his last week as a football player soaking up his view from the press box. He will continue to help the younger team members and suggest that when their junior and senior years role around, they take a trip to the eighth floor. “For the most part, I lived every single moment with no regrets, and I’m proud of that,” Thomas said. “I’m not really one to dwell on the past a whole lot, so when my time is up here, it will be time, it will be time to move on to the next chapter of my life, next chapter of my career ... For the most part I think I busted my butt here every day, and I believe it will pay off in the end.”

Ten school and never go to one game? Shame on you. Don’t let the awfulness of our football program deter you. That’s no excuse. The good thing about having a program that hasn’t finished with a winning record in the regular season since 2007 is that tickets are easy to come by. Find yourself a couple of $5 cheap seats and sit anywhere you’d like, there will be plenty of open space in the stands. If you really, really despise the idea of watching Tim Beckman’s squad, just imagine you’re watching a game that is worth your time. Pretend Illinois and Penn State are the Patriots and the Packers and this is

Super Bowl XLIX. Which team is the Patriots and which is the Packers? Well, I’ll let you decide that one. Seriously, imagine Illinois is any team you’d like. Penn State coach James Franklin is. He called Illinois the Hoosiers in front of the media on Tuesday. If this were basketball, that would have caused an uproar. But this is football. So, as many Penn State fans probably thought after that comment, what’s the difference? Chances are, as long as the Nittany Lions show up somewhere in between Champaign and Bloomington, Indiana, they will come away with their seventh win. I bet Franklin is licking his chops at that $200,000 bowl bonus

he’s going to see, the one he didn’t expect to receive for at least another two years with the bowl ban Penn State was supposed to have. You don’t have to sit in the student section. There will only be 12 or so people there anyway. You might get lonely. Go sit under the overhang on the east side where you won’t get wet. Then sit back, relax and enjoy some good ol’ pigskin. Do what you have to do to make the game watchable. Make bets over/under the number of plays it will take before Illinois next turns the ball over. That might actually make you want to claw your eyes out a little bit less. If halftime comes along

The odds are stacked against you going to the game: It’s the beginning of Thanksgiving break, there’s rain in the forecast and our university’s football team is giving everything it’s got just to get to .500. Forget all of that. If you’re a senior, this is the last home game of your college career (unless any of you aspire to take a super senior victory lap next year!). You might not care about the football team, but you came to a Big Ten school. I have a number of friends and acquaintances who go to this university and have never been to a football game.

That, in and of itself, seems to be a major accomplishment for any student on this university’s campus.

The Illinois football program is at a crossroads. Win Saturday against Penn State and Tim Beckman’s team keeps its bowl chances alive. Lose and the program most likely has a new head coach for 2015. These are the matchups that will determine Beckman’s future.

CHRISTIAN HACKENBERG VS. ILLINOIS DEFENSE The Illini defense is reeling after allowing nearly 600 yards to Iowa offense. Don’t let his stats fool you: Hackenberg does not make things any easier. Defensive coordinator Tim Banks knows Hackenberg still possesses one of the best arms in the nation.

ABBY DREY TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

PENN STATE OFFENSIVE LINE VS. ILLINOIS DEFENSIVE LINE The Illini have struggled lately with pressuring opposing quarterbacks. To disrupt the Nittany Lions and Hackenberg’s rhythm, Jihad Ward and his fellow lineman will need to take full advantage of a weak Penn State line. Hackenberg has already been sacked 37 times and could break the current Big Ten record of 46 sacks.

WES LUNT VS. PENN STATE DEFENSE Wes Lunt was not good by any means against Iowa. Attribute it to rust, but he and the offense now face a Penn State defense currently third in the nation in total defense. The Nittany Lions allow an average of 83.1 rushing yards per game, so chances are the Illini running game will be non-existent come Saturday. This game, and Beckman’s career, ride on Lunt’s right shoulder.

Football as we know it rooted in The Game ERIK PRADO Sports columnist

W

hen watching any of the 125 FBS teams this weekend, take a moment to bask in everything happening on the field, from Ohio State dominating Indiana to USC clashing with UCLA at the historic Rose Bowl. As the season enters the final weeks and the College Football Playoff talk intensifies with every possible day, there is one game that everyone should watch because it is the most important. That game, is The Game. Harvard and Yale are far from football powerhouse schools. They pump out the leaders of tomorrow, from politicians to Mark Zuckerberg’s. They don’t pump out football players. But none of that matters this Saturday at 11:30 a.m. If it were not for Harvard

and Yale, football as we know it may not exist. The second-ever American football game was also the first in this rivalry on Nov. 13, 1875. Harvard won 4g, 2t-0. That is not an extraneous “t” in that score. Back in the waning days of Reconstruction, points from a kick (g) and touchdown (t) were counted as separate. Five years later, it was Yale alumnus Walter Camp who created the game of football as it is now played. Called the “Father of American Football,” Camp was instrumental in proposing rules that created the line of scrimmage, the centerquarterback exchange and the four-down system, among other important parts of football. The sport spread east to west, from the Ivy League to what would become the Big Ten. The first year Illinois fielded a football team was 1890. To say Harvard and Yale have been instrumental in football’s history is an understatement, but it’s a history every football

fan should know. Contrary to popular belief, Alabama and rest of the SEC are not the most influential programs in the sport’s history. One hundred and thirty nine years have passed since the first game, with only 10 matchups skipped, four of them due to the two World Wars. No other rivalry in college football has this kind of tradition. I’m well aware that Yale has only won twice since 2000. I’m also well aware that this game won’t be the most exciting game on TV this weekend. However, this game isn’t so much about the onfield results as it is about the pageantry of college football. The week-long festivities before, during and after embody the sport. Even ESPN College Gameday recognizes the historical significance of this game and is going to Cambridge for the first time — ever. It’s funny, and sad, that a game between Ivy League schools is the site of a national pregame

No tradition has more historical significance than The Game between Yale and Harvard. show that has never been to Champaign-Urbana. But then again, those national guys don’t have an reason to visit the cornfields of a bad football program. One day, though, one day. The only notewor-

thy game on at the same time is No. 25 Minnesota against No. 23 Nebraska. Big Ten games are fun and all, but they don’t hold a candle to The Game. You never know, Saturday’s meeting between the

two could produce a game that’ll be talked about 139 years from now.

“He’s just really experienced; he’s able to guide us through whatever we have to go through.” Mark Johnson retired from the head coaching position after the 2008-09 season as the most successful coach in Illinois’s history. Heffernan was his obvious successor. Heffernan has continued Illinois’ prominence. Just last season, the team placed eight wrestlers in the NCAA Championships, the program’s most since Johnson’s retirement in 2009. Delgado won his second-consecutive national title at 125 pounds and captured his third-consecutive All-American honors. Heffernan has coached multiple All-Americans in each of the last five seasons. He drove former senior Tony Dallago to become Illinois’ all-time leader in career pins last season as well. “Heff is a great technician, he can break down things for you really easily,” redshirt junior Jackson Morse said of Heffernan. “If we needed a kick in the butt, he wouldn’t have a problem giving it to us, but for the most part he tries to stay laid-back.” As Heffernan is in the midst of his sixth season as Illinois’ head coach, his 23rd year with the program overall, he says there is no place he rather be and Illinois means as much to him as he means to Illinois. “The goal in this sport is to be a head coach in this conference,” Heffernan said. “We’re just trying to make this program that best it can be. I’ve been at this school 22 years, that doesn’t happen a lot in college wrestling.”

Liz McMahon scored to give Illinois a 23-16 lead. From that point on, the Badgers went on an 8-0 run to take a 24-23 lead. McMahon, as she so often does in big moments, came through for the Illini to tie the set at 24 and then 25 points. In the end, the change in momentum proved too powerful, and the Badgers took the third set. Illinois seemed to be caught up in the third set loss, falling behind 8-1 early in the fourth. After fighting back, the Illini kept it close, going on a 9-2 run to turn a 22-17 deficit into a 25-24 lead. Just as it was the case

in the third, the Badgers fought back, scoring three unanswered points of their own to take the set and the match from the Illini. Illinois was led offensively on the night by junior outside hitter Jocelynn Birks, who finished with a matchhigh 20 kills, 16 digs and two block assists. Wisconsin was led by freshman outside hitter Kelli Bates, who tallied 17 kills in the match. The Illini won’t have long to dwell on the loss. The team will travel to Indiana on Saturday.

Illinois’ top swimmer, Alison Meng, will be an important part of the Missouri Invitational. Meng enjoyed the team’s day of rest on Monday in preparation for the three-day meet.

Prior to Missouri Invitational, swimming awarded a rare day off BY DANIEL COLLINS STAFF WRITER

Before setting off to compete at the Missouri Invitational, the Illinois swimming and diving team received a surprise from the coaching staff Monday. The Illini were given a gift they rarely receive during the season: a day off. Having traveled on the road for the past three weeks and coming off what assistant coach Alec Hayden called the team’s toughest two meets of the year, the coaching staff decided a day off would better prepare the swimmers for the three-day meet ahead of them — as opposed to the more common one-day meets. “It was a nice surprise for them,” Hayden said. “It gets everyone excited to come back and race this weekend.” With the team having a little bit of rest this week, head coach Sue Novitsky said she is willing to go all out and have some of the top swimmers compete as much as needed. The competition will provide a couple of tough competitors — undefeated Missouri and 3-1 Drury Uni-

ROUX losses, and losses can lead to slumps. The players know this. After Georgia Southern, Groce made sure to reiterate what type of focus he expects them to bring, game in and game out. So look for the Illini to carry their defensive intensity from the Coppin State game into Friday’s matchup with Austin Peay. I wouldn’t anticipate the Illini will make another 15 threes, but a

versity to name a couple — and an extensive amount of swimming for the Illini’s top swimmers. “We’ll have some kids who will probably compete in close to 20 races over the course of three days, and that’ll take its toll physically and mentally,” Novitsky said. “To be able to rebound from that, you have to experience it.” Senior Alison Meng, who has been the team’s top swimmer, will most likely be one of the swimmers called upon most at Missouri. Being aware of this, Meng was happy to spend a little time away from the pool Monday. “It was really nice to get some extra rest before our long invite this weekend,” Meng said. “Any bit of rest helps so much at this point in the season because we’re pretty broken down.” Every season, one of Novitsky’s main goals is to get the team in good condition by the time the Big Ten Championships take place. With this invite in Missouri providing a similar meet schedule, Novitsky sees the weekend as a perconcentrated effort on the defensive end will lead to easy transition baskets for the Illini, which will be enough to overwhelm both Austin Peay and Brown. Soon Illinois will be challenged for real, as the next month contains the gauntlet of its nonconference slate. They are guaranteed a game against either Baylor or Memphis next Friday, and both teams will bring athleticism on a level the Illini haven’t faced yet this season.

Illini prepare for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;toughest series of the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY MATT GERTSMEIER

Illinois at Arizona State

STAFF WRITER

When: 9:30 p.m. Friday and 9:30 p.m. Saturday at the Arizona Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oceanside Ice Arena. Quick notes: Illinois travels to face No. 2 Arizona State in what head coach Nick Fabbrini says will be the toughest series of year for Illini. Hidden stat: Arizona State won the National Championship and is planning a move to Division I.

Nick Fabbrini has always had a tough time coaching against Arizona State. In Fabbriniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first year as head coach for the Illinois hockey team in 2012, Arizona State knocked the Illini out of the National Tournament in the quarterfinals. A season ago, Arizona State swept Illinois and outscored it 14-1 in the two-game series. This weekend, Fabbrini has a shot at redemption. The Illini (12-5-0) will travel to the Oceanside Ice Arena in Tempe, Arizona, to face No. 2 Arizona State (182-0). With the Sun Devils fresh off a national championship and now planning a move to Division I, Fabbrini said it will be the toughest series of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of guys back from the team that won last year, and they had some huge offseason additions as well,â&#x20AC;? Fabbrini said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably going to be the best team we play all year, so we need to be ready.â&#x20AC;? Arizona State is not the only team that made big offseason additions. Illini freshman Eric Cruickshank has made a positive impact, ranking third in points. Cruickshank believes the Illini are capable of going on the road and playing well against Arizona State if they stay consistent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been playing the whole 60 minutes or the whole 120 minutes the whole weekend,â&#x20AC;? Cruickshank said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Fabbrini) has really been trying to harp on our consistency and

just continuing to play consistent night in and night out.â&#x20AC;? If Illinois manages to play consistent against Arizona State, it hopes to walk away from the weekend with a sweep, or at least a split. This season, Illinois has split against three opponents. Typically Illinois is not happy with a split. However, Fabbrini thinks that a split this weekend will be a favorable finish for the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime you go in and play a great team, especially on the road, I think that a split is a solid goal,â&#x20AC;? Fabbrini said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We obviously want to win both games and I think if we play well, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give ourselves a chance to win both games. If we were to go in and split, that would be a successful weekend for us.â&#x20AC;? For Illinois, achieving a sweep or split will come down to each player knowing his role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I go in games and try to do what I

Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Eric Cruickshank (15) celebrates a point after scoring during the game against Iowa State. The Illini will need to keep playing well if they hope to beat the Arizona State Sun Devils. can for the team,â&#x20AC;? Cruickshank said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes for every player on the team, knowing your role. I think if we all take parts of our game that we do well and successfully do that, that will help us come out with a win and play a good team.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the bitter taste Arizona State has left Fabbrini in years past, he still has respect for the program. This weekend he has a chance to wash that taste away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a great program,â&#x20AC;? Fabbrini said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of respect

for them, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely not going to back down and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going there to get at least one (win).â&#x20AC;?
