Thousands of people plan to gather on Jan. 21 for women’s marches at local and national levels across the U.S. to defend women’s rights. Some of these marchers include members of the University and Champaign-Urbana community. The Women’s March began as an all-inclusive movement to show solidarity with women, following Trump’s presidential inauguration on Jan. 20. The march’s original time and location was planned for Saturday in Washington, D.C., but once popularity of the Women's March spread, oth-

Major changes for UI system on Board of Trustees agenda Killeen to debut plans to increase campus enrollment

Board of Trustees to vote on policy changes

University president Timothy Killeen will outline plans to increase enrollment by 15 percent over the next five years, across all three campuses. Killeen hopes that this will raise the University's commitment to Illinois students and underrepresented minorities by enrolling more than 93,600 students across all campuses, with more than 80,000 students enrolled currently. Illinois residents make up about 80 percent of on- campus undergraduates on all three campuses combined. He will present the plans during Thursday’s Board of Trustees meeting in Chicago. “Big numbers aside, this enrollment initiative is really all about opportunity – giving more students the opportunity for a world-class education that will transform their lives and seizing on our opportunity to serve the needs of the state by expanding the pipeline of talent that is so critical to its future,” Killeen said in a press release. Each campus has different enrollment goals, but overall, enrollment would rise by a

University may increase contracts with minority-owned businesses BY ANGELICA LAVITO STAFF WRITER

The Board of Trustees will vote on a proposal Thursday that would increase its goals for contracting businesses owned by minorities, women and people with disabilities. If approved, the plan would align the University’s policies to meet the state’s updates to the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females and Persons with Disabilities Act, which aims to promote and encourage economic development of these groups. The state amended the bill to increase the percentage of total construction spending

awarded to businesses owned by minorities and women from 10 percent to 20 percent. The University’s proposal would increase guidelines from 15 to 20 percent at its Urbana and Springfield campuses, and at its Peoria and Rockford satellite campuses. Goals at the Chicago campus would increase to 30 percent for construction projects since there are more opportunities “ to i mpact u nderser ved communities,” according to a press release. Sharla Roberts, director of procurement diversity, thinks the University can meet these goals.

“I think the goals are reasonable and attainable,” she said. “We looked at the scope of availability of minority and women-owned vendors and that the goal we set is reasonable and attainable.” The University spent $71.3 million on contracts with minority and women owned businesses throughout the 2016 fi scal year. Roberts thinks increasing goals would have a “huge” effect on economies near the campuses. She said the University also hires mainly local companies for construction projects.

Student political groups prepare for Trump presidency BY ANDREA FLORES STAFF WRITER

On Friday Donald J. Trump will be inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States. This fact still shocks two University groups, Illini Progressives and Illini Democrats. “I’m not going to lie. We were all pretty much shocked with the results of the election,” said Spencer Haydary, president of Illini Democrats, in an email. “But, I would say if anything, now it has inspired us.” Haydary believes that the outcome of the election has led Democrats to rethink and revision the party as a whole. “We need to get back in touch with the American people,” Haydary said. “Which is why this year we’re doing our part by focusing on what we can

do on our campus. We’re going to focus on student advocacy, recruiting and retaining members at the University, and bettering the Champaign-Urbana area community.” Me a nwh i le , Illini Republicans feel optimistic about the upcoming Inauguration Day. “We have a lot of potential to work together to promote our ideals and start conversation across the nation,” said Tayven Urbanc, freshman in DGS and social director of Illini Republicans. Not only does Urbanc see a brighter future in the Republican Party in the country, but also on campus, in light of controversies within Illini Republicans last semester. “We’re starting with a clean slate and we’re coming together to work as one,” Urbanc said.

Both Illini Progressives and Illini Democrats also plan to work as one but with a different agenda. “We have a lot of work to do,” said Richard Daniels in an email, senior in music and president of Illini Progressives. “There’s no better time for a leftist uprising.” Daniels hopes to spread this message, along with other progressive ideals, this semester through collaboration with government organizations and fl yering to recruit new members. While Daniels does not see Trump affecting “most liberal campuses like ours,” he is concerned that a Trump Administration could lead to an increase in discrimination. Haydary said he witnesses the negative feelings Illini Democrats

have toward Trump. “There is nothing we can do now to change the outcome of the election, but we can certainly fight him on any discriminatory and restrictive policies pushed by his administration at all levels of government,” Haydary said. While various protests, rallies and walks are planned on Inauguration Day in Washington D.C. and across the nation, no University group currently has any planned on campus. “I’m a huge supporter of free speech and peaceful protest,” Urbanc said. “We think that Trump will help us promote free speech on college campuses. He will help us have more of a platform to promote our ideas at both a national and local level.”

Lindsay L. Johnson, a former student of the University, secretly gave birth to a child in a bathroom of Bousfield Hall on March 13. On Tuesday, Johnson’s pre-trial date was set for Feb. 21.

Pre-trial date for former UI student accused of murder BY VIVIENNE HENNING ASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITOR

On Tuesday morning, at the Champaign County Courthouse, it was announced that the former University student charged with murdering her son, Lindsay Johnson’s, pretrial date was set for Feb. 21, said Julie Ogle from the Champaign County office. On March 13, officers had found Johnson, then sophomore in ACES, near the Music Building after they had received information that she had given birth and allegedly murdered her infant son in Bousfield Hall.

ENROLLMENT projected 6,304 more for the Urbana-Champaign campus. Killeen asked each campus to develop a growing plan in 2015. Each unit was surveyed for enrollment plans through a campus budget planning process, allowing them to review enrollment trends and student demand.

criminally charged with first-degree murder, child endangerment and concealment of a homicidal death. She had pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder charges. As The Daily Illini originally reported on May 9, University police headed to Bousfield hall after receiving a call around 5 p.m. about a student who had been in the bathroom for several hours. After arriving, they found Johnson who told officers she had the stomach flu and did not need help. The officers left, but returned to Bousfield Hall

around 7:30 p.m. after receiving additional calls about a woman who might have given birth to a baby in a bathroom. Less than an hour later, officers found Johnson by the Music Building. UIPD moved her to the University’s Public Safety Building, where she was questioned. If convicted, Johnson faces the possibility of a 20-60-year sentence for first-degree murder, 10-20year sentence for child endangerment and two to five years for the concealment charge.

graduate and professional programs, as the freshman class already ranked the sixth largest in the U.S. in 2014. Urbana will focus on increasing its online programs, such as the new iMBA and an online master’s degree in accountancy. Additional programs include the Carle Illinois College of Medicine in 2018, a master’s degree in computer science for data science and a master of science in information management. Increased enrollment could help stop Illinois students from attending out-of-state schools, Killeen

said. In 2015, 45 percent of Illinois high school graduates went out of state, up from 29 percent in 2002. The Illinois Board of Higher Education estimates the net loss of 16,000 students would result in more than $215 million in additional tuition and fee revenue to Illinois public universities. Also, students who attend college in a different state are less likely to return and build their families and careers in Illinois, according to the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

The director of sports medicine for Illinois athletics, Randy Ballard, said he plans for a student athlete injury every day. “Between all the sports we have practicing, it’s almost a 365-day job in terms of injuries and illness,” he said. In the past, Ballard would have transported his injured athletes to one of two Carle Foundation Hospital facilities, a trip that was sometimes hindered by traffic. However, this should now be less of a problem. Carle began operations in its new Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Building in Research Park on Monday. The building is located at the corner of First Street and Windsor Road and houses more than 50 orthopedics and sports medicine physicians, physician assistants, physical therapists and athletic trainers. The grand opening was last Thursday. “In terms of location, in terms of availability of location, as well as having a centralized place, it’ll make things much more efficient for our sports medicine staff and our student athletes,” Ballard said. The building was first approved in April 2015 in

order to accommodate for a demand in specialized orthopedic care. “During the past several years, we’ve seen more patients requiring specialized orthopedic care including both arthroscopic procedures and joint replacement,” said Caleb Miller, vice president of surgical services for Car-

le, in a 2015 press release. Previously, sports injuries were brought to either one of Carle’s locations on Mattis Avenue or Anthony Drive, according to Kristi Hanks-Shook, nurse manager at Carle. But now, the centralized location allows her team stronger cohesion. “I think the biggest thing I’ve seen is just the provider collaboration in working on building

more continuity of care,” Hanks-Shook said. “By bringing all these people under one roof, we just get better provider cooperation. We improve our patient access and, overall, our patient satisfaction.” Aside from offering physical therapy and emergency sports services, the Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Building will have free walk in-clinics for people in the community five days a week. “If you have a sports injury … that is preventing you from being able to achieve your goal, you can come in and be assessed by a certified athletic trainer,” Supervisor of Athletic Training Services Brendan McHale said. “They will give you recommendations of either a home exercise program or a referral to see a physician if necessary.” The facility will also feature sports enhancement training programs. Hanks-Shook said she takes satisfaction in the work Carle has already done for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. “Last year, we touched the lives of 22,500 patients within our community, and I think that says volumes,” she said.

Legislative update

L i ndsay A nderson, executive director for governmental relations, outlined her office’s goals heading into another year without a state budget and a new presidential administration. Her office wants to focus

on more effective advocacy for the entire University of Illinois system, better informing policymakers of the system as a resource, championing the University’s work and building bridges to bring people together in spite of polarization. These keys will guide the governmental relations office as it lobbies for a state budget, which would include funding for the University.

The board will vote on updating its sick leave policy for civil service staff for the second time since it was developed in 1998.

WOMEN’S MARCH unity” is aimed at getting the attention of the administration, he said. The Champaign County Young Democrats is hosting the Women’s March on C-U for those wanting to stay local. People protesting will gather at West Side Park at 11 a.m. and will march to Cowboy Monkey in downtown Champaign. There will be a livestream of the Washington, D.C. program as well as words from “local female leaders” following the march. Matt Duco, a member of the Champaign County Young Democrats, is hoping for a large turnout for the event, as over 1500 people have expressed interest on Facebook. “Our biggest goal is to help inspire more young people and women to get involved in the political process and, especially, to help inspire more women to run for office in the future,”said Duco. “We also want to show

our support for the many diverse groups in our community who will be continuing to fight for gender, racial, social and economic equality.” In addition, the group wanted to provide a local outlet to “demonstrate to Donald Trump, Bruce Rauner and local republi-

cans that the results of the November election was not a mandate to implement the extreme right-wing agenda they support,” Duco said.

Community members Julie Pryde and Sue Feldman wanted to be involved in the movement. So they began to find ways to transport people to the Women’s March on Chicago. Pryde, originally hoping to travel to Washington, D.C., explained that taking a bus to Chicago is a good middle ground for those wanting to participate. “We have people on the bus who have protested in favor of women’s rights, we have people on there like me, who’s an old AIDS activist, we have people on there who are gay rights activists,” Pryde said. Pryde said the first charter bus has been filled and is selling spots for the second bus on a sliding scale from $35 to $50. All funds raised will be directly donated to the Eastern Illinois Refugee Center. “We have people on there who have never in their life felt compelled to protest anything, yet they’re calling for a ticket on the bus,” she said. burszty2@dailyillini.com

Trump inauguration should spur student action

O

THE DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO

Students rally around Alma Mater. The Daily Illini Editorial staff urges students “to keep making your voice heard.”

n Friday, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the U.S. While we’ve explained our distrust in the presidentelect in past editorials, we are aware that the inevitable is finally happening. Watching someone who has picked on people of different races, genders, disabilities and more become appointed to the most important and respected position in the country is heartbreaking. Throughout our lives, adults have stressed the importance of voting, but this election’s results made us feel a bit powerless in the American system. But then, we remembered what Hillary Clinton said in her concession speech after the election: “I’ve had successes and setbacks, and sometimes painful ones,” Clinton said. “Many of you are at the beginning of your professional, public, and political careers — you will have successes and setbacks too. This loss hurts, but please never stop believing that fighting for what’s right is worth it.” It’s worth it to not give up and to keep making your

voice heard, as public figures have shown in the weeks before the inauguration. U.S. representatives such as Georgia’s civil rights icon John Lewis, Texas’ Al Green and Illinois’ Luis Gutierrez are skipping out on the inauguration to show that they do not approve of Trump’s behavior. Countless entertainers have boycotted the ceremony, such as classical singer Charlotte Church who called Trump a tyrant on Twitter and Broadway star Idina Menzel who suggested he sing something himself. Even designers such as Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs and Sophie Theallet refused to dress future First Lady Melania Trump because of her husband’s dangerous and offensive rhetoric. By releasing these statements of disapproval, these public figures have demonstrated the importance of using one’s political voice. Refusing to dress the president’s wife or perform at the inauguration isn’t something that most college students have an option of doing, but it’s motivation to think what we can do to make a difference. Call your representatives,

even if they weren’t who you wanted to see in office, and voice your concerns or hopes for the coming years. Participate in a local movement, such as the Women’s March on C-U this Saturday. There have been many large demonstrations on campus in the past year that have proven students can attract attention. Days after the election, hundreds of students nearly shut down Green Street while marching to protest the president-elect. Before that, there was a Black Students for Revolution walkout in October, where students voiced the need for better tuition rates and changes in how sexual violence on campus is handled. In September, there was a Rally against Rape Culture. If public demonstrations aren’t really your scene, then privately donate to causes that mean something to you. College students may not have much money to spare, but a small contribution can go a long way. Regardless of how you fight, just don’t be silenced. We can do better than the 3 a.m. tweets our new leader sends.

Being involved in too many RSOs can have more setbacks than benefits SAKETH VASAMSETTI Columnist

T

he new semester has officially begun, and I’m already receiving multiple emails and flyers about various RSOs on campus. My resume is fi nally starting to move from being “captain of my high school tennis team” to more relevant collegiate activities from my first semester. A new semester gives me, and all oth-

er students, a chance to fit new activities into our schedules. But I, for one, am already freaking about conflicting schedules between the multiple student organizations I want to become involved in. Just because you have all of these opportunities in front of you doesn’t mean you should jump on all of them at once. If you do, you’ll end up being involved in too many things, and it’ll lead to a more stressful experience. What starts as a fun time trying new things and par-

ticipating in activities you like can become a chore that ultimately hurts your college life. Students need to understand that fi lling their resume with a bunch of activities may look good on paper, but stretched commitment also forces you to split all of your time instead of concentrating on the ones that are most important to you. Whether it’s success in an RSO or in a certain class, you restrict how well you can do if you don’t put in the proper amount of time. Juggling multiple

activities can take away time you need to spend on school, which can surely hurt your GPA. Take a look at the activities you are currently involved in and choose which ones you are most passionate about. Dedicate more of your time to them, because these are where you will leave a greater impact. This is especially true if you want to hold a leadership position in a certain club or organization. You’re going to have to dedicate a lot more time to it to be considered. If

you have too much on your plate this will be more difficult, and even if you do get a leadership position, it will be hard to fulfill your duties if you have a bunch other things to worry about. When applying for jobs or internships, employers will look for how meaningful of an impact you’ve had in the activities you’ve been involved with. Having a cluster of activities that you’ve participated in as just a “member” will not show how committed you were, even if you were passionate about some of

‘Hidden Figures’ highlights a true story of black female excellence TATIANA RODRIGUEZ Columnist

H

istorical fi lms concerning people of color are always important. When it comes to sharing the history of black people through fi lm, though, movies most often center around the pain and suffering that black people have overcome. And while stories of sorrow must be acknowledged, it seems as if that’s the only narrative told when it comes to black historical fi lms. That’s why when “Hidden Figures” graced the screens of select theaters, I was overwhelmed with joy. Finally, a movie

that focuses on the achievements of black people — black women in particular — without having to include scenes of horror and pain. While the suffering stories of black people are historically accurate tales and must be told, their achievements are often forgotten due to the whitewashing of U.S. and world history. Whitewashing — the practice of omitting facts or fabricating historical events in order to support white supremacy — can be related to various sources of knowledge and information such as educational tools and popular media. Popular media such as television shows and fi lms can serve as an easy-todigest history lesson that may help to remedy the

whitewashing of U.S. and world history classes. But often only the painful moments are the pieces of history that are shown — leaving the success and advancements of black people to be erased from most people’s common knowledge. Whitewashing media almost always leads to making movies only about slavery and the Civil Rights Movement, which results in the idea that not only is black history comprised of misfortune and mis-

treatment, but that black people have contributed nearly nothing to society. Movies such as “Hidden Figures,” however, help shatter that myth. Directed by Theodore Melfi , the fi lm follows the true stories of Katherine G. Johnson, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughn — all black women who pioneered critical mathematical, engineering and programming research for NASA, respectively. While the inspiring

“...when ‘Hidden figures’ graced the screens of select theaters, I was overwhelmed with joy.”

stories of black women in STEM fields were enough to get me excited, the best thing about the fi lm is that it is not once interrupted by common tragedy tropes such as a racially charged murder. Yet the story remains true to its reality. While it indeed showcases the characters’ reactions to the ongoing Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, the fi lm doesn’t throw in a random act of violence for a chance at a guiltworthy Academy Award. The movie uplifts the black community and educates the plethora of people who were once unknowing of the historical tale. A healthy mix of black girl magic, healthy black relationships and women’s empowerment does more to mend the

disconnect between whitewashed history and real black achievements than yet another movie about slavery or the Civil Rights Movement. And while the majority of those fi lms are extremely well-made, it’s time for fi lmmakers to educate and empower millions by telling the stories of black people who succeeded beyond gaining their civil rights. It’s time for black people to watch their history on the big screen in its entirety. It’s time for historical black fi lms to show the black history that is glorious and bright alongside the more wellknown stories of trials and tribulations.

Giordano’s brings Chicago pizza to Champaign Restaurant hopes to cater to Chicagoland students

BY OLIVIA BIENVENUE STAFF WRITER

After 42 years of business and with over 50 locations, Giordano’s has finally opened a restaurant in Champaign. The restaurant opened Jan. 10 in Market Place Mall, located at 2000 N. Neil St. in Champaign. It is the first of two famous Chicago restaurant chains opening in Champaign in 2017: Portillo’s restaurant is also scheduled to open later this year. Native Chicago businesses seem to be realizing that catering to the significant portion of University students that are from Chicagoland could be a big opportunity. “That’s why we opened in Champaign, because of the number of U of I students from Chicago,” said Peter Nicol, owner of the new Giordano’s location.

This last weekend was very busy for us,” Seten said. Seten said about a quarter of Papa Del’s business comes from college students. She also said Papa Del’s deep dish is one-of-a-kind, and the freshness of the dough sets the pizza apart

from others. “There isn’t one out there that’s the same. We make our dough fresh every two hours. A lot of places will make dough a couple times a day and refrigerate it, but we never refrigerate our dough. We use it fresh,” she said. Seten also said although Giordano’s appeal to students from Chicagoland may sway customers to choose their hometown

She said students not native to Chicago may be willing to try Giordano’s, but she does not think that it will affect Papa Del’s overall business. “I also think we have a huge amount of people that come here because their parents went to school here and they’re familiar with Papa Del’s,” Seten said.

CU cypher brings rapping community together at Canopy Club BY BROOKE EBERLE STAFF WRITER

Students and C-U residents with a passion for hiphop can show off their talent on Thursday for the C-U Open Invite Cypher. The cypher will take place at the Canopy Club starting at 8 p.m. and will cost $5 at the door. The event will feature local rappers from the Champaign area, followed by an hour of open mic where anyone can showcase his or her rapping. Robert Kjeverud from Robert K. Recordings organized the entire event and will also be the main videographer at the cypher. “Most of these guys have some experience but this is (the) first time a few of them are rocking a big stage, so it will be interesting,” he said. The night will start with a special performance from OG Temple, which comprises local rapper duo Anamoli and Tekken G. They will perform a few of their original songs to kick off the night. This will also be their first time participating in the cypher. “We were writing for years before we even started open mic,” said Anamoli. “We wrote our first song together two-and-a-half to three years ago and we’ve been at it ever since.” Tekken G said the duo feels inspired by other local

groups like Trouble Chasin’, Black Mage and Rogue Tendency. “There’s a lot of talent and skill in this area with hip-hop music, and this is a great way for people to express and display their skill with the art and craft that it is,” Anamoli said. “It’s astonishing and impressive to see what people can do when speaking impromptu on the microphone.” The open mic portion is also very popular for the audience. Participants can freestyle or rap prewritten material within a two-minute time frame. The cypher will also include two rap battles of Skelly vs. Tone King and Nick G. vs. Shaan Keez. The rap battles will be three rounds with three minutes for each rapper. Nick G., who has traveled around the Midwest for rap battles, is excited to go up against Shaan Keez from Kankakee. “I’ve been rapping since the sixth grade in the lunchroom or outside of school where we would have our own rap battles,” said Nick G. “I didn’t really start taking it seriously until high school when people starting saying ‘you’re good at it.’ That’s when I started recording music and performing and different spots.”

JESSICA JUTZI THE DAILY ILLINI

Performers will be given the chance to show off their talent and support the C-U hip-hop community at the C-U Open Invite Cypher at 8 p.m. on Thursday. Nick G. also explained why the cypher is so important. “Cypher is one of the best ways to show off your rapping talent. You don’t have to perform perfectly as if you were recording a song, you can just get up there and rap about whatever you want.”

Skelly, who is featured in the Exhibition Rap Battle, said the cypher really helped him out in his rapping career. Skelly said he had a friend who worked on production for the cypher that helped him get into the series. “Without the series, I would be performing as

much as I am today. I think one of the coolest things about this series is that it gets you around other artists and have the potential to collaborate with other artists,” Skelly said. Kjeverud encourages all local rappers to attend the event because it gives them a look into the hip-hop

community. “We’re going to have battle rappers, studio rappers, DJs, producers, Canopy people, photographers, videographers. Last time the good vibes were really prevalent, and we want the same this time,” he said.

Too much home-court advantage?

AWAY

HOME

The Illini have struggled to maintain much consistency on the road this season, especially in the first half. The team has been held to under 30 percent from the field in two of its road games — when all of the opposing starters played for much of that first half. Once Illinois’ opponents open up larger leads, their coaches do not play their starters as much in the second half, leading to

Illini starters matching up against second or third teams. The inconsistent conference play is further illustrated with Illinois’ home field goal percentages. The Illini have shot over 37 percent from the field in all of their home games and are rebounding more. Whatever it may be, Illinois will have to find a solution to its road struggles and get off to better starts away from home.

HOCKEY

Illinois succeeds on the ice, in community service BY STEPHEN COHN STAFF WRITER

Some sports awards need just one word to describe what it represents. Heisman. Lombardi. Wooden. Gongshow. Stanley. Wel l , m aybe not Gongshow. The casual sports fan would be hard-pressed to know anything about the American Collegiate Hockey Association and its annual Gongshow Community Service Award. Say Gongshow to any casual fan and the response will probably be about The Gong Show, the 1970s NBC show hosted by Chuck Barris where amateurs would perform a dubious talent, hoping not to get “gonged” by any of the judges. Say Gongshow to a hockey player and the response will

probably be about the hockey equipment brand, which specializes in shirts, hats, pants and footwear. Say Gongshow to Illinois’ hockey head coach Nick Fabbrini and the response will be about the ACHA’s community service award and how important it is to give back to the community for him. Not everyone knows about the award, though. Perform a Google search of the ACHA Gongshow Community Service Award and the lone relevant result is a press release from May 2015 highlighting the winners of that season’s award. There is not a single article about the 2015-2016 winners, which included Illinois. A lack of recognition does not bother Fabbrini.

The team is not doing charity work for acknowledgement. “(The kids we are giving back to) are the kids that come and support us every weekend,” Fabbrini said. “I encourage our guys to think back to when they were kids and looking at the older guys walking around the rink, and how you were sort of in awe with them.” Fabbrini’s team fi nished the 2015-2016 campaign with 17 points and a fourthplace fi nish in the five-team Central States Collegiate Hockey League after going 6-8-2. Illinois lost in the first round of the ACHA national tournament to Syracuse. The Illini fought through multiple injuries last season, specifically to captain John Olen, the brother of current goalie Joe Olen.

The Illinois women’s basketball team looked to build on a promising 3-2 start to its conference season Wednesday night and pick up its fi rst road win of the season. But after only one quarter, it was clear that the Illini were going to have to wait to reach that milestone, as Minnesota dominated from the beginning to the game until the fi nal whistle. The game fi nished with the lopsided score of 78-50. The Illini started the game with six quick points from sophomore Alex Wittinger, but as the fi rst quarter went on, the Illini struggled to sink shots. Minnesota and Illinois both shot a paltry 27 percent in the opening frame, but the Gophers grabbed 11 offensive rebounds, giving themselves chance after chance to put more points on the board.

In addition to their rebounding struggles, the Illini came out of the game very ill-tempered, digging themselves further into a hole by committing six personal fouls. Minnesota drained six en route to a 20-10 lead after one quarter. The Illini had moments early in the second and third quarters, including scoring seven in the fi rst minute-and-a-half of the third, but never put much pressure on Minnesota. “I really liked our start to the third quarter, we came out with great energy,” head coach Matt Bollant said. “But then we struggled to make shots the rest of the quarter. We scored seven in the fi rst minute and thirty seconds, and only five the rest of the quarter.” The Gophers on the other hand, only improved as the game wore on, and they began to fi nd their shooting stroke.

FROM 1B

HOCKEY at the on-campus University of Illinois Ice Arena. According to Fabbrini, seven or eight players are there on a weekly basis for about an hour. One Illini who particularly enjoys giving back is junior center Eric Cruickshank. Cruickshank played several stints on the junior hockey circuit before arriving at Illinois in 2014. His path took him from Team Illinois clubs to a season with the North American Hockey League’s Janesville Jets in 2012-13. Cruickshank followed his stint in Janesville with a season in Cloquet, Minnesota, with the Minnesota Wilderness before fi nding his way to Champaign. Cruickshank has become one of the Illini’s most feared scorers, tallying 71 points and 36 goals over his fi rst two seasons at Illinois. The junior was not always such a threat, however. He fi nished his season in Janesville with eight points and two goals. The disappointing season taught Cruickshank valuable lessons about his role as a hockey player. More importantly, it taught him how to conduct himself in the community as an athlete. The Jets were the recipient of the Community Improvement Award at the 13th Annual Forward Janesville Awards Banquet in January 2013. Forward Janesville is an organization that leads private sec-

tor economic and community development efforts throughout Rock County, Wisconsin. The group picked the Jets organization for “demonstrating exemplary contributions to the well being of the Janesville Community,” according to the North American Hockey League press release. Jets players provided over 850 hours of community service by volunteering at non-profit organizations, hospitals, schools and churches. “As an organization, it has been one of our top priorities to get out and make a difference in our community,” Jets operations manager Greg Hanthorn said in the same release. “Janesville has opened its arms and homes to our players, and they know the importance of giving back.” The opportunity to be a part of an organization that values its community has stuck with Cruickshank through the years. “(When we volunteer with kids), they see us as role models and people that they can look up to,” Cruickshank said. “The community of Champaign may not be the biggest hockey community in the world, but to give back to them and to the community in any way that we can is awesome.” The Illinois players often go to recess and lunch at schools to have the opportunity to play with kids in a relaxed environment. Cruickshank’s favorite method of service is getting to skate with the kids on the ice and mess around with them.

“To be on the ice with one of (the kids) and skate with them and trip them and watch them fall on the ice and laugh and spin them around on the ice, kids love that,” Cruickshank said. “Just to be able to see the guys they come and watch play and then to be able to interact with us is huge for them.” Like all of Illinois’ NCAA sports, every hockey player is a full-time student at the University. Fabbrini appreciates that his players have lives – classes, fraternities and other activities – outside of the rink. “I know they’re very busy with school and everything so I think sometimes it can be a bit of a grind,” Fabbrini said. “It is still always well-attended, and the kids love having us out there. There’s a few guys out there all of the time, even when they don’t have to be.” W hile the players’ actions off the ice were reason behind the Illini receiving the national award for all divisions of ACHA hockey, Fabbrini was the man behind the $15,000 raised by Illinois hockey for hosting three benefit games. One benefit game was for a Illini hockey alumnus whose son was diagnosed with leukemia. Another game was scheduled by the University’s former naval ROTC commander and raised money for the ROTC’s scholarship fund. The last of the three games last season was for the Linking Educators and Parents foundation, in an effort to raise awareness for dyslexia. Some of Fabbrini’s players also took part in Best Buddies’ autism walk. Between the players’ community service and the benefit games, the ACHA thought that Illinois best exemplified what the community service award is about. “All of our guys I think are good kids that have been raised the right way,” Fabbrini said. “They view it as an opportunity to give back.”

This season has been somewhat of a carousel of starting lineups for Illinois men’s basketball head coach John Groce. While he has tried to fi nd a consistent fit, he has started nine different players. The most notable benching of the year may be Jaylon Tate, who has struggled to get going during his senior campaign. Instead, Groce has looked into turning a starting guard role over to the new kid on the block: freshman point guard Te’Jon Lucas. Lucas has seen increased playtime as the season has

Carney and Green were teammates at Miami Central High School, where they won the school’s fourth straight state title in 2015.

Carney turned down offers from Florida State, LSU, Mississippi State among others to join the Illini.

He chose the Illini over fellow Big Ten schools Indiana and Rutgers. The rest of the Illini recruiting class will be announced on National Signing Day on Feb. 1.

worn on, and he was the fi rst player off the bench in Illinois’ most recent game against Purdue. While Illini fans have been mulling the idea of Lucas starting the game, Lucas said Groce has a lot of confidence in him. “Me and coach Groce, we have a great relationship,” Lucas said. “We talk constantly. He keeps telling me to just do good, and my time will come. It’s just a process.” Lucas is seventh on the team in minutes played during Big Ten games at 88 minutes.

Michigan rematch a must win for Illini

At 2-4 in conference play, Illinois currently sits at 12th in the Big Ten, with only Ohio State and a winless Rutgers team below.

While there are still 12 conference games left on the schedule, the Illini are going to have to start a new trend this weekend to get their season back on track. The remaining 12 games are split between six at home and six on the road, and the path for Illinois to reach a .500 record in conference play is becoming slimmer and slimmer. Groce has an 11-28 record in Big Ten road games in his career, and on top of that, he still has to play Wisconsin and Michigan State in Champaign.

Illinois bigs, struggling to play big

In nonconference play, it appeared Illinois would have a tough time matching up down low against Big Ten opponents. Though the Illini have three play-

ers 6-foot-10 and over, they struggle to deal with smaller big men from mid-major teams. Those fears came to the forefront of Illinois problems in the team’s most recent matchup with Purdue. The Illinois front line gave up 46 points to Isaac Haas and Caleb Swanigan. The Illini bigs were also out-rebounded by the Boilermaker duo. The schedule doesn’t get easier for the Illini moving on in conference play. With two matchups against Iowa and one with Wisconsin still on the schedule, it remains to be seen how the frontcourt will respond to the weak play so far throughout the season.

Illinois serves up success at Georgia Tech’s Martin Luther King Jr. Invitational BY MEGHAN REST STAFF WRITER

The Illinois men’s tennis team scored success at its season debut at the Martin Luther King Jr. Invitational in Atlanta. Junior Aron Hiltzik and freshman Aleks Kovacevic led the Illini in singles play, going undefeated during the weekend. “We have things to focus on in all areas but we fought hard,” head coach Brad Dancer said. “We fought like Illini.” Hiltzik earned Co Big Ten Athlete of the Week honors for his performance. A pair of doubles victories from freshman Noé Khlif and junior Aleks Vukic, as well as freshman Zeke Clark and redshirt sophomore Pablo Landa bolstered momentum for Illinois against Georgia on Saturday morning. Vukic, No. 85 Kovacevic and No. 29 Hiltzik picked up victo-

BASKETBALL shone through to the tune of 25 points and seven rebounds. Playing in her home state for the second time, Alex Wittinger was again a standout performer for the Illini. Wittinger gave the crowd of over 3,000 people – and especially her family, who were at the game – something to watch. She provided most of Illinois’ offensive fi repower on her own, scoring 25 points and grabbing eight boards.

ries against ranked singles opponents as well. Crushing a straight-set (6-4, 6-4) over Bulldogs’ Samuel Dromsky, Landa also advanced in the tournament. “Georgia Tech and their staff did an incredible job hosting a fi rst class tournament,” Dancer said. “We knew coming in that we would get challenged every day and we certainly did.” Illinois faced Georgia Tech on Sunday, resulting in one doubles victory by Hiltzik and Kovacevic over Cole Siegel and No. 61 Andrew Li. In the singles competition, Hiltzik defeated Li (6-4, 6-2) alongside teammates Kovacevic and Gui Gomes. Clark also collected his fi rst singles win of the tournament. Vukic lost against No. 9 Christopher Eubanks in a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 battle. Illinois concluded the tournament against Colum-

bia on Monday. The Illini doubles team of redshirt senior Alex Jesse and No. 100 Gomes earned a win over No. 48 Shawn Hadavi and Jackie Tang. Hiltzik and Kovacevic closed the tournament with two more victories each. Vukic bounced back against No. 40 Victor Pham to collect his second win over a ranked opponent. Khlif roped in his fi rst singles win of the tournament in a battle against Richard Pham. Clark also clinched his second singles win of the weekend by defeating Alex Keyser. The Illini will host an Alumni match Saturday at the Atkins Tennis Center beginning at 6 p.m. The fi rst dual match of the season for the Illini is slated for Jan. 28 at the ITA KickOff Weekend in Norman, Oklahoma. Illinois will take on Arkansas at 10 a.m.

“(Wittinger) had a little bit of a slow start in the fi rst half,” Bollant said. “But then really played well in the second half. Her, Brandi (Beasley) and Petra (Holesinska) scored, but we need more than three players to score on the road against a good team.” As Bollant pointed out, the dynamic freshman backcourt of Beasley and Holesinska continued to deliver for the Illini, combining for 21 points. But outside of Wittinger, Holesinska and Beasley, the Illini have struggled to fi nd

consistent scoring options so far this season. This game highlighted that better than most, with the rest of the team scoring only four points on 2-for-20 shooting. “Tonight, the bench didn’t give us what we needed,” Bollant said. “Courtney (Joens) and Ali (Andrews) and Ashley (McConnell) all had some good looks. We just didn’t make them, and you have to be able to do that on the road.”

Illinois opens season with third Windy City Invite win Training and focus during the winter break pays off

onships in three months, I will be happy," Spring said. "We stuck three dismounts, we had no falls and everyone ended the routine very clean." This event did seem to set the tone for the rest of the meet, with the Illini earning titles in nearly every event. Senior Matt Foster took the pommel horse title with a 14.300 in the third rotation. Heading into the fourth rotation, Illinois trailed Minnesota by less than a point. Sophomore Alex Diab tied with Ohio State's Tristan Burke for the title on the rings with 14.250. Junior Bobby Baker won the vault title with a 14.700, and sophomore Johnny Jacobson won parallel bars with 14.600 in the final rotation. "That blew me away," Spring said. "I think that was just unbelievable momentum for the beginning of the year." Spring said that after a great start at the Windy City Invite, his team is excited for the rest of their long season. He added it’s important to remember that Ohio State didn’t compete a lot of their top gymnasts, including two national team members, and Minnesota didn’t have that strong of a meet. But after a successful

"The coaches and the team were a little worried that the first part of the season wasn’t going to be great — then we had those two big weeks." Following the Orange and Blue Exhibition, Spring made it clear that there was a lot of work to do in the five weeks before the season began. The team returned to campus on Dec. 22. Without the distraction of finals, the gymnasts maintained a clear focus on their training, according to Spring. "They got some really intense training done; we had some guys that weren’t even close to line up breaking in top lineup spots," Spring said. "It was kind of a pretty amazing two weeks of training." The Illini took on the high bar in the first rotation of the invite with junior Tyson Bull winning the event title with a score of 14.400, and junior Chandler Eggleston following in a close second with 14.350. Spring said he was shocked by how well his team competed in its opening rotation. "High bar in general, if we hit that at Big Ten Champi-

HOCKEY

Lindenwood heads to Champaign for anticipated rematch

Fabbrini confident in weekend home stand victory BY DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER

After losing two earlier meetings this season, the Illinois hockey team will attempt to get revenge when Lindenwood comes to Champaign for the weekend. The last home win came during the previous season when the Lions were No. 1 in the country. The Illini pulled out a 4-2 victory and will be seeking the same results for the upcoming home stand. Confidence is high for the team following impressive showings during its threegame win streak. Junior defenseman Joey Caprio believes that the current hot-streak is great for the team and an internal reminder that they are one of the better teams in the country. “We are coming in pretty hot winning nine of 10,” Caprio said. "We just had a big sweep of Iowa State on the road and confidence

is pretty high. Everyone is playing great and everyone is healthy, and we think when all this falls into place we are one of the best teams.” The team also believes they have a grasp on what the Lions bring to the ice and are in the perfect position to pick up some hardearned wins. “We feel pretty good," said head coach Nick Fabbrini. “We have won three in a row against two top10 teams and after playing Lindenwood earlier in the season we know what to expect and are confident.” The games will be the first of what is to be a very lengthy home stand which will continue until the end of the month. Aside from the typical benefits that the team gets from playing at home, the Illini have another tool that should play dividends for the upcoming games: the ice. “The ice surface we play on is one of the biggest in North America,” Fabbrini said. "It’s 30 feet wider than a regulation size NHL surface which is what most teams play on, so practicing on it every day gives us a pretty distinct advantage, especially when it comes to angles and spacing.” This advantage has led to some high scores for the team, with both of the largest goal outputs on the season (seven and 11) coming on home ice. Caprio agreed with his coach's sentiment, adding more to an already confident team. "We’re pretty excited, rarely do you get to stay home for a couple of weekends in a row," said. "Playing on our ice is a completely different surface and we are ready to go.” Part of the team’s three game win streak has been the play of backup goalie David Heflin.

Backup goalie David Heflin allowed only one of the 93 shots he faced in two games against Iowa State. Heflin allowed only one of the 93 shots he faced in the two games against Iowa State to pass him. After his performance, the Illini left with a pair of wins and another shutout added to the tally, blank-

ing Iowa State in the second game. With Heflin standing on his head and having the hot hand, Fabbrini is left with a difficult decision: who will be starting in goal? Starter Joe Olen has been

nursing an injury, opening the door for Heflin to shine. Even with a choice having to be made in the near future, Fabbrini is playing it by ear and will let the situation work itself out. “We are going to see how

things play out. Joe had a bit of a hip issue last week so we’re hoping he’s ready to go. We’re going to have him practice and see how he feels from there.”
