A recent survey showed that almost 70 percent of college stu-dents are unaware that their online activity can be viewed by their school. But technolo-gy specialists at the Universi-ty said they rarely this power.

The survey, conducted by market-research company Har-ris Interactive was commis-sioned by Microsoft and exam-ined what college students fi nd important during their online interactions.

Research indicated that stu-dents are most concerned with

their Internet privacy and security.

A sense of uncertainty sur-rounds the monitoring habits of Campus Information Technolo-gies and Educational Services, the University’s primary net-work administrator.

Brian Mertz, CITES senior security outreach specialist, said there is no need for stu-dents to be concerned about their Internet activities being followed.

“For our office, (privacy and security) are the two end-all, be-all concerns,” he said. “The nice thing about these rumors persisting is that they gives us a chance to start that conversation.”

While the Harris Interactive survey showed that 69 percent of college students are unaware their online activity may be viewed by their school, 84 per-cent of students expressed that their school should not be able

to view student online activities, particularly emails and social networking.

The University does not actively monitor students’ Illi-nois email accounts or other personal data, Mertz said. How-ever, the University does moni-tor online interactions if a con-cern is reported.

“When it comes to monitor-ing, we’re much more concerned about the staff member who los-es a spreadsheet full of social

security numbers because that’s where giant costs come in to the University,” Mertz said.

“What we are worried about is research data and student information. There are times when we do have to go back and look at what happened because of something that was report-ed to us.”

Mertz said the Universi-ty may retrospectively moni-

LU N G I N G TOWARD A BETTER BODY IMAGE

UI student Anthony Pauls remembered by friends, faculty

A fter a year at Lincoln Avenue Residence Hall, resident advisor Mariam Mansaray heard many residents comparing their bod-

ies from day to day. After hearing this, the junior in LAS came up with the idea for the weeklong event Love Your Body.

Mansaray said Dove’s Love Your Body cam-paign, which features women of all shapes and sizes in its ads, was the inspiration for this week.

Each night of the week had a different theme that focused on positive body perception. Mon-day’s theme was Move your Body, which gave residents the opportunity to participate in yoga. Tuesday was Know Your Body Day, and three women from the Counseling Center Paraprofes-sionals spoke to the residents about “fat talk.”

“‘Fat talk’ is when a person says something negative about their body,” said Nicole Baxter , graduate assistant for the CCP program.

Because the residence hall became co-ed last year, resident advisers had to be sure these events were not just aimed at women, Mansaray said. She said that although men deal with body image issues too, it is not talked about as often.

Donovan Dean , junior in Engineering, attended Know Your Body Day and said these events help

Student senators togo on C-U game show BY CORINNE RUFFSTAFF WRITER

Survey says ... Illinois student senators will put their campus knowledge to the test as they participate in a televised game show Saturday.

The show will air on a campus variety program on UI-7 in on Wednesday hosted by Raymond Morales , a student pursuing a Ph.D. and medical degree. What started as an undergraduate stu-dent just sharing his interests over YouTube, Morales created “The Show” in 2005 .

“‘The Show’ is a variety pro-gram that goes with every-thing from politics to bull spit,” Morales said.

Saturday’s segment of the show will quiz senators on gen-eral and campus knowledge in a light-hearted and fun manner.

“The whole purpose is that we play a game and ask questions,” Morales said. “Whoever gets the most points gets to throw a whipped-cream pie in my face.”

Morales said student gov-ernment members can be very “rambunctious and opinion-ated” in general, so the game show gives contestants an atmo-sphere where they can have fun and learn a little.

David Pileski , student trustee and senior in FAA, was on the show last year, when he was stu-

dent body president, and said it was an amazing program and a very professional show.

“We spent a half an hour talk-ing about campus issues and reaching out to students,” he said. “We played a small game where he brought up issues, and I could only say one word. It was a good nutshell for what issues on campus mean for students.”

Pileski said he believes the game show is an innovative way to reach out to the community.

“The average student doesn’t care in a technical matter,” he said. “They want to know how it effects them, how to make it better and how (senators) should approach students on these issues.”

Keenan Kassar , senator and senior in Business, said he is excited to participate in the game show for the fi rst time.

“It might help U of I pride, while at the same time bring-ing up issues people don’t usu-ally talk about,” he said. “After assessing his (Morales’) per-sonality, I can see he cares a lot about diversity and social jus-tice issues. I myself do as well.”

Shao Guo , vice president internal and junior in ACES, will also be featured on the pro-gram and said he believes the

Steve Doyle still remem-bers Anthony Pauls as “Pop-sicle Tony.”

“He snagged like two box-es of Popsicles from one of the girls’ fl oors in our dorm and handed them out to everyone on our fl oor freshman year,” he said. “One of the fi rst times I ever hung out with him, I (thought) ‘This guy’s got some-thing. This guy is a goof.’ So I knew I’d fit right in with him.”

It was then, when they met their freshman year, that Doyle, senior in ACES, said he knew Pauls was different from other people he would encounter.

“Honestly, Tony is probably one the greatest guys I could ever ask to meet,” he said. “Instantly, within a week or two of living in the dorms, I had already fi gured out that he

was probably one of the best friends I was going to have.”

Pauls died Saturday morning after a hit-and-run on Friday night. Pauls was 22.

Another close friend of Pauls’, Arpan Roy, senior in Engineer-ing, said Pauls showed his friendship in many ways.

“I was participating in the Homecoming parade — this was last year — and I had told everyone that I would be in the parade and ever ybody should come by,” Roy said. “Tony is the one person who actually

did show up.”Pauls was on the sidelines,

chanting his name with some of Roy’s friends, who showed up later.

“Any time that he found the opportunity to brighten up some-one’s day, he defi nitely would, and I appreciated it,” Roy said.

of The Daily Illini, the editorial “ISS excessively spending on purposeless projects for student body” said the Illinois Student Senate had used part of the $9,000 it spent to sponsor the men’s basketball team to purchase tickets to giveaway to students. ISS had proposed this purchase, but it later decided not to do so. Additionally, a rhetorical question later in the editorial assumed the purchase of these tickets. It should have asked why ISS had proposed the purchase.

Your thrifty ways provide great savings this year. An income increase could come as soon as this month and gets reinforced by the solar eclipse (Nov. 3). Stick to your fi nancial plan, while diving into specialized study to expand the tools in your belt.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (Mar. 21-April 19) — To-day is a 7 — Keep up the good work. Take some risks, maybe, but keep it steady. Your credit rating’s on the rise. Challenges in romance pay off later. Hide a treasure.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — To-day is a 5 — Study an ancient source and combine the new. Listen to a bright idea (from yourself or someone else). Some-times small is beautiful. Post-pone launches, travel and ro-mance.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — To-day is a 7 — Be careful so that you don’t double-book or forget an important date. Spend time

outdoors to replenish your ener-gy. It’s not a good idea to stretch the truth now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — To-day is a 6 — You have less than you thought, but that can change with intelligent work. You have the support of loved ones (even if it doesn’t always seem so). Meet with friends later.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — A new trick doesn’t nec-essarily work, but it may still be worth trying (results may sur-prise). Sell something you’ve kept hidden. Let a loved one help you decide.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — To-day is an 8 — Provide plen-ty of positive reinforcement as it’s needed. Achieve harmony through meditation. Send a scout to gather information. Postpone long journeys for later. Compro-mise.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — To-day is a 7 — Consider all possi-bilities. Make sure you have all the facts before choosing. Work-ing at home increases your effi -ciency. There’s no need to spend money now; you have what you need.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — To-day is a 6 — Don’t tell everything to everybody. Watch out for mis-takes with numbers. Check for changes in requirements. Excep-tional patience may be required.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8 — The glitch-es in romance will go away. For now, focus on taking advantage of your new boost of confi dence. Thank the others who stand by your side.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5 — You can be social, but it’s better to postpone having company over. Every experience adds wisdom. Investigate suspi-cions and avoid gambling. Opti-mism is within reach.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — To-day is a 7 — Friends play an im-portant role today, especially providing assistance in diffi cult situations. Listen and be heard. You have the support of the most important people.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — To-day is a 7 — Stand up for your-self. The group helps out, even as it seems that they may disagree. Give and receive love, and com-promise. Logic wins. A bond gets renewed.

Mertz said CITES does not look at specifi c user content, including emails.

Aliyea Rizai, sophomore in Business, said she’s not con-cerned with CITES’ ability to track her Internet activity.

“CITES isn’t the only thing out there that can see what I’m doing online,” she said.

“I use Gmail, and I know Google has access to all my

Mertz said CITES’ rela-tionship with students is not adversarial.

“The more we get people in the mind-set that they should expect this kind of privacy, the more they are going to demand it when they get outside the Uni-versity,” he said.

“We would like to see stu-dents leaving the University not thinking that every step they make online should be tracked.”

Sunni rebel snipers impose siege on Shiite villages in SyriaBY HAMZA HENDAWITHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEYANON, Syria — Anyone who tries to slip out of the Shiite villages of Zahraa and Nubl is risking his life. Sunni rebel snipers stand ready to gun down anyone who dares. Roads are blocked with barricades and checkpoints.

For more than three months, Syria’s rebels have imposed a smothering siege on the villag-es, home to around 35,000 peo-ple, maintaining they are a den of pro-regime gunmen responsible for killing and kidnapping Sunnis from nearby towns.

The bitterness and reprisals between neighbors illustrate how the civil war has torn apart the longtime coexistence among eth-nic and religious groups in Syria. And it points to the perils of sec-tarian divisions that lie ahead for the nation of 21 million as the war worsens.

Zahraa and Nubl make up a small pocket of Shiites, most-ly regime loyalists, in this over-whelmingly Sunni region in the northern countryside of Aleppo

province. The siege has its roots in months of tensions since the Sunni-led revolt against Presi-dent Bashar Assad began in March 2011. Sunnis in the area say pro-regime gunmen, known as Shabi-ha, operated from the two villag-es, attacking nearby towns as they rose up against Assad.

The violence fueled a cycle of tit-for-tat killings and kidnappings and tore apart the social fabric between the sects.

Then in July, rebels over-whelmed most of Aleppo prov-ince, driving out government forces and taking control of the region’s towns and villages. The tables were turned: Many Assad loyalists fl ed to Zahraa and Nubl for refuge, and the rebels clamped down their siege, seeking revenge.

Perhaps more than anyone, Bashar al-Hajji feels the impact of the rift. A native of Beyanon, a Sunni village of 5,000 across the main north-south highway from Zahraa and Nubl, he’s the only Sun-ni in town who’s married to a Shi-ite. His wife of fi ve years is from Zahraa.

“I am caught between the two

sides,” said al-Hajji, a 28-year-old mechanic who is not just Sunni but follows the sect’s most conserva-tive school, Salafi sm.

His wife’s family shuns him and is persistently telling her to leave him and come home to Zahraa.

“They know that I am a Salafi , and they think it is permitted for me to kill Shiites,” said al-Hajji, sitting in the yard of the family’s home in Beyanon.

“Well, if this is the case, I don’t have to go far to kill one,” he said, nodding toward his house.

Al-Hajji limps from a gunshot wound he suffered in February, when a gang of Shiites from Zah-raa beat and kidnapped him.

“Only when my family and oth-ers kidnapped about 20 of their own and threatened to kill them was I released,” he said. He showed a photograph taken after his release, his face bruised and a deep cut across his cheek.

He pointed to a neighborhood of Zahraa in the distance and said it had been home to pro-regime snip-ers and machine gun nests that shot at “everything that moves” in Beyanon.

“They killed and wounded so many of us, we had to block the road,” he said.

The Shiites in Zahraa and Nubl are coping with the siege by rely-ing on supplies from a friendly Kurdish village on the other side. But they cannot venture further than that for fear of being killed or kidnapped. Government helicop-ters land there twice a day, bring-ing in supplies.

For Beyanon and a cluster of nearby Sunni villages — Hayan, Retan, Haritan and Mayer — the feud means they can no longer go into the two larger Shiite vil-lages, or have access to their res-taurants, better-stocked grocery stores, mechanics and doctors. The two villages have the area’s only high school, along with a vocational institute.

The tears in the social fabric are nationwide. Syria’s multiple sects, religions and ethnicities long coex-isted — not completely in tune, but usually more harmoniously than in neighboring Lebanon. The country is predominantly Sunni Muslim, while Shiites make up a tiny pro-portion, less than 5 percent.

N. Ireland opens abortion clinic; protests ensueBY SHAWN POGATCHNIKTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BELFAST, Northern Ireland — The fi rst abortion clinic on the island of Ireland opened Thursday in downtown Belfast, unleashing angry protests on the street and uniting Catholic and Protestant politicians in calls to investigate the new facility.

The clinic, run by the British family planning charity Marie Stopes, will be permitted to pro-vide abortions only in exception-al circumstances to women less than nine weeks pregnant.

But the opening caught North-ern Ireland’s socially conserva-tive politicians off guard, and they vowed to launch an investi-gation into how the clinic oper-ates. About 400 protesters who lined the sidewalk outside the facility all day said they were certain that public pressure would force authorities to shut it down.

“I expect the heads of govern-ment to run Marie Stopes out of Northern Ireland,” the protest leader, Bernadette Smyth of the pressure group Precious Life, told supporters through a bull-horn. “Those who have come ... storm heaven with your prayers!”

Abortion is one of few issues that unites Northern Ireland, a predominantly Protestant cor-ner of the United Kingdom, and the mostly Catholic Republic of Ireland. Both jurisdictions keep abortion outlawed except in cas-es where doctors deem the wom-an’s life at risk from continued pregnancy.

Both effectively export the controversy to Britain, where abortion on demand has been legal since 1967. An estimat-ed 4,000 women from the Irish

Republic, and 1,000 from North-ern Ireland, travel there for abor-tions annually.

Inside the clinic on Thursday, doctors and counselors dealt with several women in crisis preg-nancies. They reported being deluged with calls from women, including Republic of Ireland res-idents, seeking appointments.

Outside, protesters displayed posters with graphic pictures of aborted fetuses, sang hymns and sparred verbally with pass-ing pedestrians, who made clear they want liberalized access to abortion in Northern Ireland. Protesters didn’t directly heck-le people entering or leaving the clinic.

Directors of Marie Stopes emphasized they would comply fully with Northern Ireland’s law permitting abortions only when the woman’s life or long-term health is endangered. They said while such exceptional abor-tions are already carried out in secrecy in Northern Ireland hos-pitals, between 30 and 50 a year, many more eligible women travel to Britain rather than confront stern anti-abortion attitudes at home.

Tracey McNeill, director of Marie Stopes clinics across the United Kingdom, said some of the approximately 1,000 women who travel each year to Britain for abortions “would have been entitled to have that care within Northern Ireland, but they didn’t know where to go, they didn’t know who to talk to.”

Protesters warned that the clin-ic, if not closed, would become a beachhead for expanding abor-tion rights in Northern Ireland and, eventually, the Republic of Ireland.

The Activities and Recreation Center hosted two screenings of a University alum-na’s fi lm, “Beauty Beneath the Dirt,” on Thursday in the auditorium.

In the movie, fi lmmaker Katherine Imp , University Law alumna, chronicled a fi ve-month-long hiking trip from Georgia to Maine on the Appalachian Trail with her brother, Brandon Imp , and her friend, Emily Ginger . The 65-minute fi lm was shot by the hikers between March and August 2010 and was directed by Jason Furrer , a fi lm pro-ducer in Los Angeles and friend of Kath-erine Imp.

Erik Riha , assistant director of market-ing for Campus Recreation, said hosting the fi lm screening was a good opportunity to “bring in a different population” to the ARC.

“It’s great to have movies,” he said. “We’re trying to do that more.”

One focus of Imp’s fi lm was the evolution of relationships during such adventures.

“You have your ups and downs, personal-ly, emotionally, physically,” Imp said during a Q-and-A. “Relationships will be strength-ened or come apart...We each have our own individual personal journeys.”

Katherine Imp, who served as an Out-ward Bound trip program coordinator before law school, found that the adven-ture trip gave her an attitude of gratitude.

“The serenity, peace and calm of hik-ing is still with you,” she said. “(The trip) changed the way I view people in my life and the appreciation I have for them.”

The University offers opportunities to experience similar adventures, through Climbing & Adventure Rec, part of the Divi-sion of Campus Recreation. The center pro-vides equipment rentals including tents, sleeping pads and bags and cooking kits.

“We think it’s a very vital thing for (stu-dents) to experience nature,” said Doug Boyer , assistant director of Campus Recreation.

The Outdoor Adventure Club and Climb-

ing Club are also ways to experience trips like Imp’s. David Lam , president of the Out-door Adventure Club and junior in ACES, has been involved in the club since his freshman year. The club organizes 2-3 trips per semester, Lam said, with most being over a weekend. The club has already gone caving near Bloomington, Ind. and ziplin-ing near Rockbridge , Ohio this semester. Lam said he appreciates the opportunity to escape the campus on these adventures.

“Especially in this college environment where everyone’s stressed out, just getting away for a single night is phenomenal,” Lam said. “Going to a place that has elevation, scenery...it’s almost indescribable.”

Lam said these outings create cohesion among students.

“Something about being around a camp-fi re, talking all night...just brings people together really easily,” he said. “I still keep in touch with (the people I met on the trip).”

Timothy Trick, professor emeri-tus , had been working with Pauls on an independent study this semester.

“It certainly was a shock to me, and I think it’s always terrible to lose a young person, especially a person who came to the Universi-ty with so much potential,” Trick said. “He impressed me as an intel-ligent young person. He always came prepared, he was prompt and curious.”

Trick added that Pauls had a particular interest in history within engineering and had start-ing meeting with him about his project.

“He did want to minor in his-tory and had a great deal of inter-est in terms of how technology has

impacted our society,” he said. “I gave him some reading assign-ments and references to look up, and he was just getting started in reading those materials.”

Trick said he wished he had had a chance to know him better.

Pauls’ wake was held Tues-day and his funeral was held Wednesday.

“I swear there must have been several thousand people that went through it (Pauls’ wake),” Doyle said. “I mean, the line was out the door at the funeral home almost all day, and it was just crazy to see how many people came out to show their love and support. ... I knew Tony was one of my best friends and stuff, my roommate, but I nev-er knew how many people he real-ly had such a positive impact on.”

people connect to others experi-encing the same issues.

“Some people might actually be going through these things, so it’s helpful for them if they attend the workshops,” Dean said.

Even if men are not experienc-ing body image issues, they may know someone who is, so Man-saray encouraged men from her fl oor to come to events during the week.

“You never know if your girl-friends or sisters are going to go through this,” she said.

Wednesday was Express Your Body Day, in which RAs encour-aged students to put together skits or share a story that repre-sented positive body image.

On Thursday, students partic-ipated in Show Your Body Day. Students wore black and par-

ticipated in a photo shoot. They also used measuring tapes with hearts over the numbers as props for the photos.

Friday is the last day of Love Your Body Week. To recap the week, Friday’s theme will be Love Your Body.

Residents will be encouraged to take a pledge against “fat talk.” They will make buttons that have their favorite body part written on them.

“So much of body image can be negative,” Baxter said. “So loving the body that you have and treat-ing it well and talking positively about it, to me, is so important, especially in situations, like at a residence halls or sorority, where people are eating together and living together (and) everything like that, it’s important to keep your body image positive.”

Blasphemy Day was not hatefulI’m writing in response to harsh

words about our Blasphemy Day activities last month. In a let-ter to the editor, another student denounced our playful de-baptisms as hateful, objecting to the allocation of RSO funds to groups like ours.

I’m sorry to say that he missed the point entirely. Blasphemy Day is an international holiday created specifi-cally to diffuse tensions — religious and otherwise — and to remind us to lighten up. Words are just words, and actions speak louder. ISSA champi-ons this attitude.

Not only are we emphatically not a hate group, but we’ve won awards for the good things we do. Just this week we’re wrapping up a month-long fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We’ve tak-en spring break trips to work with Habitat for Humanity and the Hur-ricane Katrina relief effort, and we regularly cooperate with religious RSOs on service projects of all sorts. Through our actions, we’re constant-ly demonstrating that we’re consci-entious members of this community and, indeed, the world. How many groups can say the same?

I must ask: What part of this is hateful? Don’t nonbelievers deserve a community to call our own? Are we wrong to offer consenting indi-viduals means to reverse a religious rite that was forced upon them at a young age? Where do we draw the line?

To the student in question, I say this: You’ve every right to squirm at the thought of de-baptisms. Blas-phemy tends to have that effect. But free speech is not automati-cally hate speech just because it offends. Please don’t think you speak for “masses of people” in condemn-ing our actions — that’s simply not the case. And please, in the future, refrain from categorically dismiss-ing our actions as hateful. Your accu-sations couldn’t be further from the truth.REBECCA TIPPENS,vice president of the Illini Secular Student Alliance and senior in LAS

Smoking ban goes too farThere is undeniable evidence that

smoking is a dangerous habit, but the University’s plans to make the campus smoke-free are an unbeliev-able affront to students’ personal liberties.

In a mass mail about the smoking ban, Chancellor Phyllis Wise said, “It’s more about changing the cam-pus culture and adhering to the prin-ciples we hold here.” However, the University is a public school, funded

through student tuition and taxpayer dollars; as such, the administration must respect that this space needs to be shared between students.

With over 40,000 students coming from across the globe, it is common sense that the lifestyles of some stu-dents may differ from those of oth-ers. The way to resolve this is not by forcing fellow students to change their personal habits because they differ from your own. It is nec-essary to make an effort toward compromise.

This ban is not about personal health or litter. It is about people believing they should have a larger say in your personal choices than you yourself do. The college expe-rience is about discovering oneself and making personal life choices. It is nobody’s right but the individual’s to make these choices. The prob-lem is that this learning and grow-ing process can’t happen when the school steps-in to punish you for liv-ing a “bad” lifestyle.

I am not arguing to allow smok-ing in buildings, nor am I fighting for smokers to smoke anywhere they please. I believe that a more reason-able compromise toward creating an accepting community would be the implementation of designated smoking areas. This would provide students who smoke an area to do so that nonsmoking students can avoid if they wish. Personal opinions aside, it should be clear that a compromise is the only reasonable way to resolve this issue.DAN HUMBRECHT,president of Young Americans for Liberty at UIUC and sophomore in Engineering

Smoking ban shows students can make a difference

On Wednesday, a mass mail went out from Chancellor Phyllis Wise announcing that the University campus will be going smoke-free as of November 2013. I want to recog-nize the efforts of Hannah Ehren-berg, former student trustee, who created a grass-roots effort of stu-dents and student organizations to pass the referendum in the fall of 2011.

Not only was Hannah actively involved, but a coalition of students and student organizations were sol-idly behind the effort to get signa-tures and achieve an overwhelm-ingly positive vote in favor of the smoke-free referendum. The stu-dents involved include Ehrenberg, Baylee Gambetti, Christine Ste-phens, Max Ellithorpe, Sean Ander-son, Keenan Kassar and student groups such as the football team, cheerleaders, the women’s soccer

team and many other RSOs. Staff participation included Dr. Robert Palinkas, director of the McKin-ley Student Health Center; Robyn Deterding, director of Campus Rec-reation; and Michele Guerra, direc-tor of the Wellness Center.

Chancellor Wise’s communication and the fact that the University is going smoke-free is a great exam-ple of how students can get involved and make a difference. It’s a great day for a healthy University and for positive student activism. Thanks to all of you.RENÉE ROMANO,vice chancellor for Student Affairs

Ban smoking, ban rightsIn the name of health and control-

ling litter, the University’s adminis-tration is imposing a ban on smok-ing on campus. They acknowledge that it is legal for adults to smoke tobacco. They apparently have no qualms taking these rights away from everyone on campus. This will mean that residents of campus must stop smoking or plan a trip to the edge of campus before they can light up. This is as close as you can get to tobacco prohibition. Our world needs less prohibition and enforcement.

While I agree with the health concerns expressed, the rights of each individual to make personal decisions concerning what drugs they will use is far more important. Concerns for secondhand smoke have been more than adequately addressed by banning smoking in buildings. The hazards of second-hand smoke outdoors are minimal and are not nearly as important as personal freedom. The campus is publicly owned. Uses of public plac-es should not be arbitrarily limited. Feel free to implement a smoking ban in your own home.

This is a case of the majority imposing a form of prohibition on a minority, smokers. It is no more appropriate than laws banning gay sex or the use of marijuana. Will campus impose fines or worse on users who are hooked on highly addictive nicotine? Drug users need help, not punishment.

Shouldn’t we outlaw alcohol which is linked to the deaths of roughly 80,000 people a year in the U.S.? What about banning the use of cars, which are linked to roughly 40,000 deaths a year in the U.S.? Smoking is linked to perhaps 400,000 deaths or more per year. Those individuals were enjoying freedom. Freedom is more important than health or safe-ty or litter.MARK WASHBURN,engineer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications

Opinions4AFridayOctober 19, 2012The Daily Illiniwww.DailyIllini.com

Editor’s Note: The error identified in this column regarding the basketball tickets has been corrected on the Oct. 18, 2012 editori-al, “ISS excessively spending on purposeless projects for student body.”

There has been a misunderstand-ing of the purpose of the Illinois Student Senate. Our purpose is to

work behind the scenes and to be the liaison between the student body, the administration and outside entities. There are always underlying purpos-es behind every resolution that the senate passes, and every resolution is the culmination of more than what is seen at general meetings.

Most, if not all, of the points made in The Daily Illini’s Thursday editori-al, “ISS excessively spending on pur-poseless projects for student body,” were incorrect (for example, no bas-ketball tickets were purchased).

Had any member of the editorial board attended actual meetings or spoken to a member of the Student Senate instead of basing their facts on the weekly articles written by the beat reporter, they would realize that all of the suggestions given had either already been done or are in the pro-cess of being completed.

This includes past Vice President External Sam Barghi instituting sug-gestion boxes and Senators Matt Gold and Damani Bolden’s scholarships, which unfortunately, University Pol-icy makes near impossible to enact. Our Public Affairs Committee has put on Campus Clean-up events, along with an ISS iHelp group to give back to a community we all are a part of. While smashing cars would be nice, insurance policies often end many of our more spectacular events, includ-ing attempts to bring a dunk tank to the Quad for charity.

We are thankful that the DI has now retroactively supported many of our past plans and helped promote many present ideas but much of the sen-ate’s work is behind the scenes, one thing that the editorial failed to men-tion. At general meetings, the sen-ate does more than give out money for the haunted house (which serves as a sober alternative to Halloween and allows children around the area, including children of graduate stu-dents to celebrate Halloween in a saf-er environment) or other items which seem trivial to someone who has not done their homework.

Our most effective tool is our con-

nection to campus administrators who can effect change. This is not a fast process, but one that is long, tedious, full of obstacles and not at all visible.

Wednesday, we discussed a resolu-tion that would make it easier for stu-dents with transferred course credit to be able to replace the course with a University course for grade replace-ment. Reporting on resolutions such as this might not be as glamorous and will not get as many hits as oth-er “attention-grabbing articles,” but these are vital things that the sen-ate does, and it is the DI who fails to report them.

Maybe students don’t know who we are, maybe they do think we’re point-less, but that is exactly why the sen-ate is trying to promote the invaluable advocacy it can provide and serve as an outlet for any student with any problem. This is why we exist.

One thing that is for sure is that every member of the current assem-bly is doing their best to represent the students and move forward.

E!"#$%"&'A(rmative action

should focus on socioeconomic status to help those who need it

As students enter college, they are encouraged to choose a major reflective of their pas-

sions, which is why I chose journalism. My freshman year I struggled between journalism and communication, the program I started in. And sometimes I wonder if it was for the better.

Because the field of communications is broad and diverse, I knew the job possibilities would be endless. Howev-er, journalism is what I’ve wanted to do since the age of 2, so I chose the latter.

During freshman year, mentors and advisers convince students of this fic-tional unlimited amount of time they have to confirm what they want to study. This leads students to enroll in a variety of subject courses, which either turns out to be beneficial or a complete waste of time.

Students should enjoy what they are studying, but they need to keep in mind that prolonging a definite decision by exploring different courses can affect you dramatically in the long run.

The United States Census Bureau recently released a report outlining the relationship between undergradu-ate majors, median annual earnings and the full-time employment rate for 2011. Those in the fields of sciences, engineering, computers and mathemat-ics had higher median earnings for full-time year round work compared to those in other fields such as education, communications and liberal arts. Wage and salary workers in the sciences and engineering fields, holding a bachelor’s degree, had median annual earnings of $66,000. Those in the same field holding an advanced degree had annual earn-ings of $89,000.

Workers in business-related fields also had high earnings. Those with a bachelor’s degree in business made $62,000, while those with advanced degrees made $84,000. This differs from those in education who made $44,000 with a bachelor’s and $58,000 with an advanced degree. In most of the fields such as business, arts and humanities, self-employed workers with advanced degrees made between $70,000 and $81,000.

Because I’ll be looking for a job in communications or media, this info is a little discouraging. Journalism jobs are scarce, and it seems as if finding a job after graduation will be impossible. Even worse, some professionals I’ve spoken with think graduate education in journalism will not make a signifi-cant difference. Between those notions and these numbers, it seems as if my passion probably won’t lead me down the road of financial security.

Forbes also developed a list that highlighted “The 10 Worst College Majors” for 2012, citing anthropology and archaeology as the least valuable major. The list also included film, vid-eo and photographic arts; history; fine arts; and English. In September, U.S. News & World Report listed engineer-ing, physics, mathematics and com-puter science as the fields that “boast strong earning potential and low unem-ployment rates.”

Again, while students should choose to study something they enjoy, this information should be considered. Ulti-mately, many of us enroll in higher education because we believe that it will enable us to become successful, especially financially, and have a bet-ter quality of life. For this reason it is important as early as freshman year to think about the type of job you want after graduation and research the nec-essary steps to get there.

Many students explore a variety of different subjects and find out what it is they want to do, but too often other students find out too little too late and are stuck playing catch-up. They then realize that some of those classes were a waste their time and tuition dollars, causing them to remain in school for more time and pay extra money.

Everyone won’t be a science, engi-neering or math major, and the major-ity of students, including me, are at the — to be frank — crappy end of the spectrum as far as Forbes is con-cerned. But students should still make the most of opportunities related or unrelated to their future careers. This can include minoring in an unrelated field or even interning.

We should keep striving to become well-rounded and gain a variety of dif-ferent experiences, so they will be mar-ketable and seen as an asset in the job market. An August op-ed said academ-ic success is not the only key and that “If you want a job, then you have to have certain personal attributes, skills, and abilities that employers and cus-tomers will value and want.”

There is also the notion that if you do something you love then the money will come. While that may be true, in this economy, love won’t pay the bills.

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the oral argu-ments in Fisher v. Texas, the first affirmative action case the court has heard

since 2003. Now, after nearly a decade of seeing how race factors into admissions, we hope the court sees the sense in rolling back the failed policies to increase racial diversity and find a way to bet-ter colleges across the nation by promoting a sensible affirmative action policy based on applicants’ socioeconomic status.

According to the 2010 U.S. Cen-sus, roughly 18 percent of black and 15 percent of Hispanic fami-lies earn less than $15,000 a year, compared with the 7.2 percent of white families in that income bracket. It’s unfortunate that we still live in a nation where this dis-parity exists. So it seems only fair that universities implement racial affirmative action.

But this line of thinking is quickly led astray by how, in prac-tice, affirmative action works. The 2003 Supreme Court decisions establish that race cannot be the sole deciding factor in admissions but may be one of many factors that go into the decision. If this precedent is followed correctly, racial affirmative action policies are guaranteed to only take the top-ranking percentage of minor-ity students.

The fundamental problems are going to be perpetuated: Minority students from districts that ensure a higher quality education are more likely to attend a top-ranked college than disadvantaged minor-ities. Add this to the rest of the disadvantaged students who are now denied admission — it’s diffi-cult to see an upside to this poli-cy. The only alternative that would promote minority admissions is admitting all minority students who apply, regardless of other qualifications. This policy, howev-er, is both illegal and completely nonsensical.

University leaders have long pushed diversity programs, say-ing a diverse student body ben-efits the rest of the campus. But this fails to take into account the obstacle that these policies place on high-achieving minority stu-dents. They’ll have to face it for the rest of their lives: Affirmative action creates a culture wherein the expectations are that minority students are somehow less quali-fied than their peers. If this “soft bigotry of low expectations” low-ers the bar for every member of a race, it lowers the bar on the appli-cant as well, regardless of your performance.

The University’s admissions pol-icies currently state that “diver-sity” is one of many factors of the admissions process. If racial diversity is a goal, the University should be aiming for proportion-al demographics in the state: 14.8 percent of Illinoisans are black, but only 5 percent of students on campus are black, down from 6 percent in 2000.

But instead of dwelling on vacu-ous racial statistics and trying to fill these racial quotas, we should focus on solving the underlying problems. If an institution con-tinuously lowers the bar to make up for falling enrollment among underrepresented minorities only worsens these problems.

But race-blind affirmative action based purely on socioeco-nomic status would begin to solve these problems. The bigotry of a lower bar for success wouldn’t exist because students from dis-advantaged backgrounds never had access to the resources their upper- and middle-class peers were afforded. It would stop per-petuating a policy that still favors the wealthy and would assist the aspiring students who need a hand up, particularly those belonging to racial demographics that have a disproportionate number of stu-dents living in poverty.

And this would increase cam-pus diversity in a meaningful way by exposing students to peers with fundamentally different experi-ences, instead of the skin-deep diversity that racial decisions ensures.

Public universities and colleges have a responsibility to the states and the nation they serve. By dis-regarding race and focusing on the problem of socioeconomic dispar-ity, colleges would continue to pro-mote education among those who would benefit the most from it.

US looks into recent Border Patrol shootingsBY BRIAN SKOLOFFTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX — Government investigators are reviewing U.S. Border Patrol policies on use of lethal force amid a spate of dead-ly shootings along the border in recent years, including the killing last week of a teenager who agents said was throwing rocks at them from across a fence in Mexico.

Since 2010, at least 18 people have been killed by Border Patrol agents, eight in instances where federal authorities said they were being attacked by rock-throwers, a common occurrence along the Mexican border, said Vicki Gaube-ca, director of the ACLU’s Region-al Center for Border Rights, in Las Cruces, N.M.

The probe by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office

of Inspector General involves a review of accusations of brutality and excessive force as it works to determine whether reforms have been implemented.

The review, briefly referenced in a 100-page report released this month, was launched after 16 members of Congress expressed concern over the 2010 death of an unarmed Mexican migrant in San Diego. They asked the Depart-ment of Homeland Security to determine whether the incident is “emblematic of a broader cul-tural problem” within the agency.

“It is ongoing,” Arlen Morales, a spokeswoman for the Inspector General’s Office, said Thursday.

She declined to comment on details of the investigation or when it began but noted it could take up to a year to complete.

U.S. Customs and Border Pro-tection also would not comment, noting only that it fully cooper-ates with the Inspector General’s Office, agency spokesman Michael Friel said.

In the San Diego shooting, Anas-tasio Hernandez, 42, died in May 2010 after being shot with a stun gun by a Border Patrol agent at the San Ysidro port of entry.

Eugene Iredale, an attorney for the man’s family, told The Asso-ciated Press in July that the U.S. Justice Department’s civil rights division was presenting evidence to a grand jury in the case amid signs that prosecutors were con-sidering criminal charges.

The Justice Department has declined to comment, only not-ing the case remains under investigation.

Chinese economy risingBY JOE MCDONALDTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING — China’s worst slump since the global financial crisis leveled out in the latest quarter and retail sales picked up in a sign an economic rebound is taking shape, adding to hopes for a global recovery.

The world’s second-largest economy grew 7.4 percent from the year before in the three months ending in September, data showed Thursday. That was slower than the second quar-ter’s 7.6 percent growth but the decline was much gentler than in earlier quarters. Economists also pointed to quarter-on-quar-ter growth of 2.2 percent, the big-gest such gain in a year, as a sign of recovery.

“This confirms that the econ-omy is rebounding,” said Dari-usz Kowalczyk, senior economist for Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong. “There is no room and no need for further major stimulus.”

The Chinese improvement

came after unexpectedly strong U.S. housing starts boosted con-fidence that the world’s biggest economy is mending after five years in the doldrums. The U.S. Commerce Department said Wednesday that builders start-ed construction on new single-family houses and apartments at the fastest pace in more than four years. The U.S. and Chinese numbers are rare good news for the world economy, which has slowed as Europe’s chronic debt crisis worsened and the Ameri-can economy stagnated.

Beijing has cut interest rates twice since early June and is injecting money into the econo-my through higher investment by state companies and spending on building subways and other pub-lic works. But authorities have avoided a major stimulus after huge spending in response to the 2008 global crisis fueled inflation and a wasteful building boom.

Retail sales rose 14.4 percent, accelerating from the first half’s

14.1 percent growth. Investment in factories and other fixed assets improved, rising 20.5 percent in the first nine months of the year, up from a 20.2 percent rate for the first eight months.

“We can see a clear sign of steady economic growth,” said Sheng Laiyun, spokesman for the National Bureau of Statis-tics. “There is a smaller margin of decline and some major indi-cators have been growing faster.”

A rebound in Chinese growth would be good news for econo-mies such as Australia, Brazil and African countries that sup-ply its factories with iron ore and other commodities.

The slowdown over the past year and a half is due largely to government curbs imposed to cool an overheated economy and reduce reliance on exports by encouraging more domes-tic consumption. The slump worsened last year after glob-al demand for Chinese goods plunged unexpectedly.

KHAR, Pakistan — One of the two Taliban militants suspected of attacking a teenage girl activ-ist was detained by the Pakistani military in 2009 but subsequent-ly released, intelligence officials said Thursday.

Malala Yousufzai, 14, was shot and critically wounded on Oct. 9 as she headed home from school in the northwest Swat Valley. The Taliban said they targeted Mala-la, a fierce advocate for girls’ education, because she promot-ed “Western thinking” and was critical of the militant group.

The military detained Attaul-lah and several of his associates during the army’s 2009 offen-sive in Swat because of sus-pected ties with the Pakistani Taliban, which had established

effective control over the val-ley at the time, said two intel-ligence officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

The military successfully pushed most of the militants out of Swat, but Attaullah was released because of a lack of evidence linking him to specif-ic attacks, said the officials. It’s unclear how long he was held.

Authorities have detained sev-eral of Attaullah’s family mem-bers in Swat, but he remains at large, said the officials.

It’s possible he could have fled to neighboring Afghanistan. The Taliban have said the attack on Malala was planned by the head of the Swat Taliban, Mau-lana Fazlullah, and his deputies, who escaped to Afghanistan fol-

lowing the military offensive in 2009.

The shooting of Malala out-raged people around the world and stepped up pressure on the Pakistani government to inten-sify its fight against the Taliban and their allies. But Pakistani leaders are divided on whether the government should respond by targeting the Taliban’s last major sanctuary in the country along the Afghan border. Push-ing into the North Waziristan tribal area could trigger a back-lash of attacks elsewhere in Pakistan.

Malala was airlifted to Eng-land earlier this week for spe-cialized treatment and to pro-tect her from follow-on attacks by the Taliban, who have threat-ened to target her again until she is killed.

To most college students, being on ESPN is a momentous occasion. To the Illinois volley-ball team, it’s business as usual.

So when No. 4 Nebraska (16-2, 8-1 Big Ten) comes to town Sun-day with an ESPN2 camera crew in tow , the No. 25 Illini (10-9, 4-5) won’t be treating the game any differently.

“The girls are just used to it,” head coach Kevin Hambly said. “It doesn’t mean much to us. We barely know what’s going on.”

“We may get a few more texts after games, but that’s it,” sophomore Liz McMahon said.

McMahon’s phone could be blowing up come Sunday night, as the cameras will be trained on Champaign for the Cornhusk-ers’ fi rst match at Huff Hall as a member of the Big Ten and fi rst since 1994 . While this is Nebras-ka’s second year in the confer-ence , the two teams played only

one game a season ago in Lin-coln. The Cornhuskers won 3-1 , handing Illinois its fi rst loss of the season after a 20-0 start propelled them to the fi rst No. 1 ranking in program history .

Nebraska returns four All-Americans from last year’s Big Ten championship squad and brings an experience-lad-

en team to Illi-nois, drawing a sharp con-trast to the Illini youth. The Cornhusk-ers start four seniors and two juniors, while the Illini roll out a line-up consisting of three fresh-men and two sophomores.

“That’s a huge differ-

ence,” Illinois assistant coach Dan Conners said. “The expe-rience they have is defi nitely an asset, and it’ll show in some of the ways they perform.”

Illini allow late goals, fall 2-1 to WildcatsBY GINA MUELLERSTAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s soccer team allowed in-state rival Northwestern its fi rst conference win of the season Thursday night.

The wind and rain brought the Illini their third consecutive loss this year. The game started off as an even battle between the two opponents, but in the middle of the fi rst half, Illinois jumped to a 1-0 lead.

Northwestern fouled an Illinois player inside the 18-yard box, giving the Illini a penalty kick opportunity. Junior Vanessa DiBernardo took the kick, fi ring it into the back of the net on the left side, while the Northwestern goalkeeper dove right. The goal marked DiBernardo’s fi fth goal of the season and the second that has come off of a penalty kick.

For the remainder of the game, Illinois strug-gled to connect on the fi eld.

“It’s hard when you have so many players getting injured and you have to move the for-mation around or the starting lineup around,” senior Niki Read said. “And getting to know the players, what their strengths and weaknesses are. That might be what’s causing some of those miscommunications.”

Freshman Nicole Breece is one of those play-ers who has been injured. She suffered a con-cussion in the game against Michigan State and was sitting on the sidelines this past weekend. She returned to the starting lineup Thursday for Illinois.

“Being on the sideline and watching our team gave me a different perspective, and it makes me just really want to be on the fi eld,” Breece said. “Being able to play tonight was really exciting. It was good to be out there with my team again.”

With less than 10 minutes remaining in the sec-ond half, the Wildcats powered through Illinois’ defense to score the game-tying goal. Illinois

started to show drive and determination after Northwestern scored the equalizer. Illinois head coach Janet Rayfi eld said that mental toughness only improved after that goal was scored.

“I think you only saw it after their goal, and you saw us start to play with a sense of urgency,” Rayfi eld said. “The thing I said just then is: ‘It’s too late. We should have played with that sense of urgency from the fi rst whistle.’ If we don’t play with that sense of urgency from the fi rst whistle, maybe they don’t believe as much.”

With only seconds left in the game, a handball

was called on the Illini inside their own 18-yard box. A penalty kick was awarded to the Wildcats, and junior Kate Allen fi red into the back of the net to seal Northwestern’s fi rst conference vic-tory of the season 2-1 .

The Illini now stand at a 4-4-1 in the Big Ten, with only two more games left before the confer-ence tournament. Illinois will next face Nebras-ka on Sunday.

“I think we are scrapping to get into the Big Ten Tournament now,” Rayfi eld said. “We’re just trying to extend our season at this point. We cer-

tainly have to get one and may have to get two wins. It’s tight in the Big Ten race right now. We got to look at one win at a time and hope that two wins will get us in the Big Ten Tournament because I don’t even know that would assure it. We can only control the things we can control, and that’s stepping out on Sunday and trying to get a win against Nebraska, and that’s no easy task.”

It’s been over a year since the Illinois football team last won a Big Ten football game , and that fact isn’t lost on head coach Tim Beckman.

The Illini have lost nine consecutive conference matchups dating back to Oct. 15, 2011 , when Illinois fell to Ohio State at home .

“We have got to change that now,” Beck-man said. “We’ve got to attack our next opponent and get ourselves prepared so that we can win a football game.”

A losing season is unfamiliar territory for Beckman, whose former teams at Tole-do went 8-4 and 8-5 in the last two seasons , and the fi rst-year Big Ten head coach has been around several successful programs as an assistant, including Oklahoma State and Ohio State . During Beckman’s tenure at Ohio State under Jim Tressel, the Buck-eyes went 22-3.

“It’s not my job to lose,” Beckman said. “I’m not here to lose. I want to win as much as anybody else wants to win. I want to give these seniors an opportunity. We’ve got fi ve left, we’ve got one at a time.”

Back in the gameAfter suffering a concussion in the fi rst

half during Illinois’ 45-0 loss to Michigan on Saturday , Illini quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase returned to the practice fi eld Thursday.

Scheelhaase said he passed all the man-datory concussion tests this week and that

he is cleared to play against Indiana next. He passed an impact test, which all play-ers take at the start of the season.

“Memorization stuff, matching differ-ent symbols, a bunch of stuff that I guess works your brain,” he said.

After the impact test, Scheelhaase was put through a light, moderate and intense workout, and because he didn’t experience any concussion-like symptoms after any of the workouts, he was cleared to return to the fi eld.

“I’m feeling good,” Scheelhaase said. “Happy that I didn’t have to deal with any lingering effects.”

Illini work through bye weekThursday marked the fi rst practice of the

week for the Illini during their Week Eight bye , and while the players took advantage of the off week to rest up, the season was never far from their minds.

“Still watching Indiana,” senior defen-sive end Michael Buchanan said . “Kicking my feet up, trying to get my legs fresh, but defi nitely just watching some fi lm just try-

ing to fi gure out whatever I can do to help motivate the guys.”

The Illini met Sunday to go over the loss to Michigan, were off Monday, got in some mental reps on Tuesday and hit the weight room Wednesday. But Thursday morning marked the fi rst padded practice of the week.

“You just self-evaluate, get time to look at what you’ve done in the game and what you’ve done in the time we’ve had this sea-son,” Beckman said. “A lot of times you get healthy. Now it’s back to kind of practic-ing, getting back together.”

Beckman took advantage of the bye week by getting out on the recruiting trail, but his focus is still set on Illinois’ Homecom-ing date with Indiana. Illinois’ last win in the Big Ten was against Indiana in Bloom-ington, Ind., on Oct. 8, 2011.

“We’ve got to get better each and every day at everything we do, and that’s what I’m trying to get accomplished,” Beck-man said.

McLaurin adjusting to all things Illini

BY ETHAN ASOFSKYSENIOR WRITER

The season has hardly begun to turn, and Sam McLaurin is already planning his hibernation.

The fi fth-year transfer from Coastal Car-olina is used to the cold spells of Myrtle Beach, S.C. , not the frozen Midwestern tun-dra Champaign has to offer. He’s a native of Havana, Fla. , a town about 25 minutes north of Tallahassee , devoid of snowstorms. So before McLaurin accepted his offer to play basketball at Illinois from new head coach John Groce , he had his plan mapped out for the dog days of winter.

“While most of the guys are at classes, I’m at home on the couch,” McLaurin said. “That’s what’s good about online classes. I don’t have to go outside, man, walking to classes in the snow like everyone. Automatic start from my car to get it warmed up before I have to go to practice. From the gym to the

crib, back and forth. That’s it.”McLaurin is working toward an online

graduate degree in Recreation, Sports and Tourism, and consequentially he’s eligible to play this season per NCAA graduate transfer rules. As the resident “old man” — the nick-name his teammates have awarded him — he’s expected to play an important role this season. He’s already stuck his name into the running for team captain, even though he’s only been with the group for six months. Groce intends to use his 6-foot-8 senior trans-fer at forward and center to help close the glaring gap in front-court depth left by Mey-ers Leonard’s departure to the NBA.

The fi rst-year coach also wants to run a high-paced offense, which will require the Illini’s bigs to crash the boards on the defen-sive end. Groce said rebounds per minutes played, an area that McLaurin excelled in at Coastal Carolina, is a statistic that trans-lates across all levels of college basketball.

“He’s done a great job in that area,” Groce said. “The more stops we get, the more fi rst-time defensive rebounds we get, the more that we can get out in transition gives us a chance to play the tempo that we want to play. I think Sam will help us tremendously in that regard.”

McLaurin might have missed the memo, but Illinois has had its share of frustrations off the court over the past few seasons. Off-court distractions and a lack of leadership have sunk some of the Illini’s most promis-ing basketball teams into irrelevancy . But as one of Groce’s new chosen leaders, McLaurin seems to bring the right attitude. After years of Coastal Carolina’s diminished postseason expectations, McLaurin captained the team to the National Invitation Tournament twice , helping to change the program’s culture to a winning attitude.

Illini Open gives high hopes to cross-country

BY NICHOLAS FORTINCONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Illinois women’s cross-country team will look to solid-ify the fi nal spots on its confer-ence roster this Friday at the Illini Open.

The Illini will host their namesake event and get to com-pete on their home course for the fi rst time in over a month at 4 p.m. Friday.

“This is a great opportuni-ty for some of the runners to showcase that they should be a part of our conference team,” head coach Jeremy Rasmus-sen said.

Rasmussen added that run-ning together and pushing one another to new personal records will be more benefi cial to team success than achiev-ing a predetermined team goal.

“I think we’re going to have an opportunity to have some good competition and race and compete, and if everybody goes out and tries to run a new per-sonal record for themselves, we’ll be able to have success as a team,” he said.

Rasmussen said Illinois will face some quality competition, as the Illini will race against four other Midwest squads: No. 5 Butler, Loyola, Bradley and Missouri.

Senior Meagan Hynes; juniors Stephanie Brown, Rachel Irion and Amanda Zamora; sophomore Colette Falsey; and freshmen Michelle Frigo, Natalie Wynn and Lind-sey Rakosnik will run for the Orange and Blue.

“I think we’ll do very well,”

Irion said. “We’ve had a good thing going this whole season, and we’ve been pretty positive and we’ve been working well together, so we have a good chance of succeeding.”

As has been stressed all season, the biggest goal at the meet will be closing the gap between Illi-nois’ runners.

“We want most of us to finish in the top-15 runners, and finishing close together is another real-ly big goal — not having a lot of time between our first and fifth or sixth runners,” Irion said.

As long as the Illini close their gaps, run together and get into good posi-tion early, both Rasmussen and Irion think the race will go well.

“On our home course, it’s about getting into a good posi-tion in the beginning of the race and then after that fi ght-ing through 2 ! to 4K,” Ras-mussen said.

“And if they do that, I think they’ll be able to come away happy.”

THREE AND

OUT

BY DAN ESCALONACONTRIBUTING WRITER

After a nearly two-month hiatus, the men’s cross-coun-try team will return to the UI Arboretum to compete in Fri-day’s Illini Open. The meet will be Illinois’ second and fi nal home meet of the sea-

son before head-ing off to the Big Ten Cham-pionships in East Lansing, Mich., the fol-lowing weekend. Only two run-ners will com-pete for Illinois along with the runners compet-ing unattached, including four track and fi eld athletes.

S o p h o m o r e Mark Donohue and redshirt-freshman David Eckhart will compete for Illi-nois. Both run-

ners will be aiming for stand-out performances in order to fi ll out the fi nal roster spot for the Big Ten Championships, as the other eight roster spots are already fi lled.

“This is a great opportuni-ty for both guys to make their fi nal case of why they should be on the roster for us going into the Big Ten Champion-ships,” coach Jake Stewart said.

The competition at the Illi-nois Open will be consider-

ably less than the Notre Dame Invitational and the Wiscon-sin adidas Invitational , as only three other in-state teams will compete at the Open. Bradley, Eastern Illinois and Loyola are the other teams competing.

The most important aspect of this weekend’s meet for Stewart and the rest of the team is how well Donohue and Eckhart will run with a roster spot in the Big Ten Champion-ships on the line.

Though the coaching staff foresees that it will be diffi -cult for either runner to be plugged in to the fi nal ros-ter spot and contribute to the team’s success in a profound way, Stewart still understands that there are some important qualities both runners can bring to the team.

“It will defi nitely be very tough for Mark or David to be put in to the roster next week and have standout perfor-mances since it will be their third race in as many weeks. I just look for them going for-ward to compete to their high-est potential. I thought Mark had a very nice race for us last week at Bradley and has come on very strong as of late. David has also run very con-sistent for us as well,” Stew-art said. “I just look at all nine guys will compete for us at the Big Ten Championships as guys who can contribute to the team.”

Dan can be reached at sports@dailyillini.com.

close together is another really big goal — not having a lot of time

between our fi rst and fi fth or sixth runners,”

Illini Drive goes “three and out” every Monday on WPGU. Here are the highlights.

NATIONAL QUESTION — Last Sunday, the BCS rankings came out. What do we make of them?

Thomas Bruch — I don’t have many complaints about it. I’d say (No. 2 in the BCS poll) Florida is proven a lot more, and maybe it’s the surprise factor. I know it’s all numbers in the BCS, but maybe it’s a surprise factor a little bit that they’re in there. It should be interesting. There are teams in there that have a lot of tough games. ... I expect those teams to get either phased out of the top fi ve or a little shuffl ing. But for right now, it’s a little indicative of the college landscape.

BIG TEN QUESTION — Is Michigan back in the picture to position itself for the Big Ten title?

Jamal Collier — You can bet your bottom dollar. The Big Ten is not any good, and Michigan is still a little bit better. The tough game is going to be Michigan State this coming up Saturday. And they’ve lost four in a row to Michigan State or something. If they can get past them, and that game is in Michigan, I like (Michigan) to get to the Big Ten championship game. The Leaders Division is awful, even though Wisconsin is starting to play better.

ILLINI QUESTION — How many more wins are left on this schedule? There are fi ve games left.

Max Tane — I’ll try to look on the brighter things right now. I’ll say there are as many as two wins left on the schedule. One being (next week) against Indiana and then the week following the Ohio State game, which is home to Minnesota.

Illinois will showcase its refur-bished playing surface this week-end along with a full roster that is fi red up and ready to “put on” for its city.

The Illinois women’s tennis team is hosting the ITA Midwest Regional at the Atkins Tennis Cen-ter from Thursday through Sun-day. Twenty-four other schools from around the Midwest, includ-ing multiple conference oppo-nents, will be playing in singles and doubles draws. This marks the fi rst of three tournaments hosted by Illinois this year, the most that have been in Champaign since head coach Michelle Dasso took over in 2005.

The entire squad is fi nally together, as members have been competing at different fall tourna-ments around the country. Dasso said Illinois is anxious to be back out on the court and has the oppor-tunity to support one another for the fi rst time.

After returning from the respective tournaments, the play-ers have had time to work on their individual games and feel more relaxed.

“I have been working on my consistency a lot and putting more balls between the lines,” freshman Audrey O’Connor said. “Along with returning serves and my fi rst hit, they all feel a lot better.”

Senior Rachael White and soph-omore Melissa Kopinski will car-ry a lot of momentum for the team after making a name for them-selves early this season. Together, the duo has a combined record of 6-3 in singles and a doubles mark of 7-2, including a quarterfi nal run at the ITA All-American Champi-onships, knocking off four nation-ally ranked doubles opponents, including two top-10 teams.

Another pair who is coming off a strong fall tournament is sophomore Julia Jamieson and O’Connor. The two claimed a sec-

ond-place fi nish at the Air Force Invitational to go along with Jamieson fi nishing second in her singles draw.

The fi nal Illini duo competing this weekend will be juniors Mis-ia Kedzierski and Allison Falkin, who have not played as well as they had hoped to begin their fall seasons, but look to bounce back while playing together for the fi rst time.

“It will be interesting to see how they play together,” Dasso said. “I think they will complement each other very well with their differ-ent styles.”

Although the chemistry may not be as strong for Kedzierski and Falkin, that is not the case for the other two teams, which have been playing together since the fi rst day this season.

“This fall, we have been able to stick teams together,” Dasso said. “In the past, we have had to split teams up and play with dif-ferent people, but the more they play together, the more they will solidify themselves.”

Not only will Big Ten teams get their fi rst look at this year’s team, but they will also get their fi rst opportunity to play on Atkins Ten-nis Center’s resurfaced courts.

“It will be interesting to see what they say with these courts being a little bit slower of a sur-face,” Dasso said. “We are either going to get a lot of positive feed-back or heckling.”

Illinois, however, has practiced for a few months on the new sur-face and feels comfortable with it.

Dasso said in an earlier inter-view that the team’s goal, since fi nding that Champaign will host the NCAA Championships, is to wake up every morning and com-pete to the best of its ability, which it has an opportunity to do, play-ing in front of its fans for the fi rst time this year.

Bears’ running back shows promising ankle recoveryBY ANDREW SELIGMANTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte said he is just about 100 percent, and his sprained right ankle is feeling better.

That’s certainly good news for the NFC North leaders.

They sit atop the division at 4-1 and rank 10th in the league in rushing despite some uneven performances. Forte is averaging 4.7 yards per carry and newcom-er Michael Bush has been solid backing him up, particularly in

short yardage situations, but the Bears realize there’s room for improvement.

Having their star running back healthy should help.

“I was pretty much back to almost 100 the last game we played against the Jaguars,” said Forte, who ran for a season-high 107 yards in a lopsided win over Jacksonville two weeks ago. “But having off some days is always good for any injuries.”

Maybe the run game will really kick into a higher gear, as it has in recent years around the off week.

MONDAYS AT 6 PM

4B Friday, October 19, 2012 The Daily Illini | www.DailyIllini.com

this week’s scouting report extra detail, as he spent the 2011 season as an assistant coach with Nebras-ka. Conners said he knew his for-mer team and players well, but the Cornhuskers relatively sim-ple offense meant his knowledge wouldn’t provide much benefit.

“One of the strengths of Nebras-ka is that what they do, they do very efficiently,” Conners said. “They’re not the most complex team. There are definitely more complex teams out there. They do what they do and they do it very well.”

Almost all of what Nebras-ka does goes through the steady hands of Lauren Cook, daughter of head coach John Cook, a pre-

season All-Big Ten selection and three-time Big Ten Setter of the Week. Hambly called her “prob-ably the best setter in the country.”

“She moves it around really well,” he said. “They’re gonna present some challenges that we haven’t seen before. We’re gonna have to be on our game.”

Cook spreads the wealth to a dynamic attack that can score from multiple areas of the court.

Senior outside hitters Gina Mancu-so and Hannah Werth lead Nebras-ka with 220 and 193 kills, respec-tively, but three other Huskers have also recorded over 100 kills on the season. Hambly compared Nebraska’s style to the Minnesota team that swept Illinois at Huff Hall earlier in the season.

“They’re outsides are smaller, they’re about 6 foot, but they’re super athletic,” Hambly said.

“They’re just really, really athlet-ic. Very good team and they have great balance.”

The Illini have struggled with small, quicker teams more than big, physical opponents all season long, so Nebraska will present a significant test for a team already adjusting on the fly to a new setter, freshman Alexis Viliunas.

“We’ve been working this year to overcome that and put

some new things in defensive-ly that will help us with that,” Hambly said. “Don’t ask me what they are, I’m not gonna tell you. We’ve been working on it this week to get ready for this next team and I hope we can be good at it because we’re gonna need to be.”

No. 10 Illini hope to rebound this weekend versus No. 15 BronchosBY STEPHEN BOURBONSTAFF WRITER

The Illinois hockey team is get-ting its first taste of adversity.

Against then-No. 19 Arizona, for the first time this regular sea-son, the Illini (6-1-2) were swept and beaten in regulation. They look to rebound this weekend at home against No. 15 Central Oklahoma.“I hope it was a little bit of a wake-up call,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. “Consistency is what we’re searching for right now.”

Despite its record, as well as a No. 10 ranking, Fabbrini said Illi-nois hasn’t played up to its ability at times, something that needs to happen as the Illini head into the toughest stretch of their schedule.

The next five weekends will be defining. Over that span, Illinois will take on the Bronchos this weekend, then visit No. 11 Iowa State, come home to face No. 1 Ohio and No. 8 Lindenwood and go on the road again to Ohio.

“The thing that separates good teams from great teams is consis-tency,” Fabbrini said. “In terms of a full weekend, we’ve yet to do that, so this weekend would be a good one to start.”

The Bronchos (5-4-0) have seen their share of inconsistency as well this season. They swept Lin-denwood on the road earlier in the year but then lost two of three at the ACHA Showcase. While Illinois swept the trio of Western Michigan, Davenport and Stony

Brook, Central Oklahoma was only able to beat Western Michi-gan at the event.

A concern for Illinois through-out the year has been the defense. Fabbrini pointed to the lack of communication and awareness in the defensive zone as being the two key contributors to the strug-gles against Arizona. After a full week of practice, though, Illinois feels a lot more comfortable at that end of the ice now.

“We worked on a lot of our defensive zone coverage,” senior defenseman Mike Evans said. “We’re feeling good about our communication strategies this week.”

Evans and the entire defense will need to be ready, with Cen-

tral Oklahoma averaging more than four goals per game on the year.

Fabbrini said the key differ-ence this weekend is going to be the team’s depth.

The first-year coach has said all year that his team is four

lines deep but said the lower lines need to step up.

“I think we need more effort and support from our support guys,” he said.

“We need all 20 guys going all the time, it’s not just a sometimes thing.”

After saying effort picked up this week in practice, Fabbrini and his players will have a chance to respond to their first speed bump in a long season.

Illini focus on practice before year’s 1st meet

BY J.J. WILSONSTAFF WRITER

Friday afternoon marks the start of the dual meet season for the Illinois swimming and diving team, but securing a win isn’t the only aspiration for head coach Sue Novitsky.

Northwestern leads the all-time series 15-7, with the Wildcats having almost doubled the Illi-ni’s score in last year’s season opener at 199-101. Novitsky said the loss was because of an inability for the team to take its competitive drive to the next tier.

The Illini’s change in men-tality has led to a shifted focus, as they will enter the meet with expectations of winning.

“Sometimes you swim against a team that might be the top what-ever of the country. And you sort of give (the victory) to them, and

we don’t want to give them any-thing,” Novitsky said, adding that this year’s team refuses to give any win away.

Additionally, senior diver Dar-ragh McDermott is excited to see the team’s competition level Fri-day after months of training.

Swimming and diving is dif-ferent from oth-er sports in the realms of down-time and rest. A sport such as football or bas-ketball may have a more relaxed walk-through practice preced-ing the games, whereas swim-ming and diving teams often prac-tice hours before the meet, stick-ing to their week-ly workload.

With the 3 p.m. meet on Friday,

the team will swim in the morning.“I think it’s important for them

to understand that they can swim well, swim fast and compete well, even when they’re mentally and physically tired,” Novitsky said.

Both the Illini and the Wildcats are “going in a little blind” after they acquired a number of fresh-men, Novitsky said.

“Is it going to be easy? No. ... They are going to be a challeng-ing team ... but it’s something that

you have to step up to and trust yourself to let the pieces fall into place,” she said. “We can get some thing done.”

Mike Evans comes to a stop as he handles the puck during Saturday’s game against Arizona. Illinois lost 3-1.

“I’ve learned from playing over the years. Because I’ve always been on winning teams, the only way you win is if everyone works together on and off the court,” McLaurin said. “Everyone has to be getting along. I’ve been on teams where guys weren’t get-ting along so well, and we didn’t have the outcomes that we want-ed. When everyone was togeth-er and committed to something great, good things happen.”

McLaurin was a hot commod-ity before Groce plucked him off the market. When the senior announced he’d be leaving Coast-al Carolina and retaining his eli-gibility after averaging 10 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks last season, he was ambushed by 20 or so schools. Baylor, N.C. State, Georgia Tech, SMU and Virgin-ia joined Illinois in pursuit of the coveted transfer.

“Every week, more and more schools would come,” McLaurin said. “Every Monday, I was sure to see at least four or five new calls. It was affecting my social life and everything.”

Then, enough was enough. Emotions finally boiled over and his announcement hit the Twitter-sphere: “F--- it im going to Illinois #Illinination.”

Since declaring, he’s toned down the use of the medium.

Four factors went into McLau-rin’s decision to choose Illinois

over the rest: the immediate con-nection he made with Groce, an assurance he’d see the floor for meaningful minutes if he put in the work, the time he spent with his new teammates and ... Cham-paign’s unique cuisine options?

“We ate a lot,” McLaurin said. “We went to this one steakhouse I haven’t went back to yet because I remember looking at the pric-es on the menu. That’s another thing that blew me away about here. In Myrtle Beach, there’s a lot of tourist places to eat, but here they’ve got quality food. It’s not all that chain stuff.”

His taste palate aside, McLau-rin is now preparing for the only season he’ll ever get to play in a power conference. After he announced his decision, one of McLaurin’s friends joked that he’d be moving from playing in gymnasiums to arenas. That’s not far off. While the players are still locked in preseason practice at Ubben Basketball Complex’s gymnasium until the Orange and Blue scrimmage at Assem-bly Hall on Monday, it appears McLaurin is going to see ample time on the floor once the games start to matter.

“It’s going to be everything I could have imagined,” McLau-rin said. “At my last school, we’d play like four D-IIIs a year. That’s really no fun. Coming here, hav-ing to compete every night is just fun in itself.”
