BY ILYA GUREVIC STAFF WRITER The University of Illinois Research Park held an open house attended by approximately 100 stu- dents Thursday. The event included an introductory presentation, a tour of participating businesses and a networking reception. UI Research Park encompasses a dozen buildings with more in con- struction. Fox/Atkins Development is the private partner that builds and leases most of the buildings. In December 2011, UI Research Park received the Outstanding Research Park award from the Association of University Research Parks. Laura Bleill, marketing coordi- nator for Research Park, said the purpose of the open house was to make students aware of the park’s offerings — which include intern- ships and support for campus entre- preneurs — and to “demystify what the Research Park is.” Bleill hoped students would have the chance to become better acquainted with research park businesses and their offerings. After promotional videos and an introductory presentation by Research Park Director Laura Fre- richs, students broke up into tour groups based on subjects of inter- est. They were taken around to the corresponding research park com- panies by staff. The park is home to approximate- ly 90 companies and 1,400 employ- ees. Bleill said the park has around 400 student interns at any time throughout the year. These intern- ships are usually paid, and students tend to work around 10 to 20 hours during the school year and full-time in the summer. Employers spoke about intern- ship opportunities, and student interns shared their experiences with attendees. “We teach our actuarial interns real live work,” said Scott Farris, research and development manager at State Farm’s offices in the park.

As the University comes clos-er to recommending next year’s tuition rates, the cost of educa-tion is on President Robert Eas-ter’s mind.

The board met on the Spring-field campus on Thursday, and Easter made his opening remarks on the subject, citing a 123 percent increase in tuition costs since 2002 in the face of lacking state funding. He said he believes it is the University’s responsibility to keep education affordable and accessible.

Seven months into negotia-tions, the Graduate Employees’ Organization again expressed its desire to avoid a strike dur-ing its “We Want to Work” rally on Thursday.

tional students. So I think we are, at least to some degree, competi-tive for those types of students.”

Avijit Ghosh, business professor at the Urbana campus, said there is very intense competition among schools for the top students. But he said it takes more than money to reach these top students — oppor-tunities and programs offered play into a student’s attraction to a school.

Although Kennedy said he agrees that students are willing to pay more money for a school with better programs, he said the Uni-versity still needs to “raise schol-arships, so we can be competitive and lower our pricing.”

Despite increasing applications, Urbana Chancellor Phyllis Wise said the take-rate, or the percent of students who accept the Univer-sity’s offer to attend, is decreasing.

“The primary reason that they give us is because someone else has offered them a better package that includes tuitions, fees, books

and housing,” she said. “We have to compete for those very fi ne students.”

Also at the meeting, Maureen Parks, associate vice president for human resources, presented the board with a summary of the new sexual harassment and pro-tection of minors policy. This poli-cy was initiated by former Univer-sity President Michael Hogan last December after the child abuse scandal at Penn State.

Parks said all incoming stu-dents, including transfer students, will be required to participate in a sexual harassment program. University employees will also be required to participate and repeat the program every three years.

In addition, more University employees, especially those who work closely with minors, are now required to receive background checks, Parks said.

She said the next steps to improving this policy include the implementation of a communica-tion plan in the near future.

formal strike authorization vote Monday.

Seawell said GEO members have three days to vote, and the votes will be counted next Friday.

If the vote passes, a strike committee will be organized within the GEO.

This committee will authorize a strike only if necessary, as mediation will continue along-side these plans.

“I’m hoping we don’t have to go on strike this year because it’s better to get things done

in the bargaining room,” GEO member Zack Poppel said. “By coming out here today we’re showing each other and we’re trying to show the communi-ty that not only are we will-ing but we are capable of doing what’s necessary to get a fair contract.”

This sentiment is mirrored across the GEO, Seawell said.

“We want to settle this in the bargaining room,” she said. “We want to stay in the classroom.”

Seawell also said the admin-istration needs to talk with the GEO seriously about tuition waivers, wages and health care rather than “a lot of conversa-tion about procedure,” some-

thing she’s seen in the bargain-ing room recently.

Campbell said all the GEO wants is to have its future secured.

“We want the University to do what’s right and bargain all forms of compensation and do what the state is expecting of them: to listen to the ruling of the labor board and listen to the reasonable demands made by the people that make this Uni-versity work,” Poppel said.

Federal mediation begins Fri-day from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Levis Faculty Center .

Simple, dark green cots and comfort kits that include items such as blankets, shampoo, con-ditioner, a toothbrush and tooth-paste are some of the basic Red Cross services offered to indi-viduals who have suffered the destruction of Hurricane Sandy.

A similar, yet miniature, display of these necessities was set up on the Quad Thurs-day afternoon. This simula-tion was organized by the Uni-versity’s American Red Cross Club in conjunction with local Red Cross staff. The simula-tion raised awareness about the organization’s services and continued efforts at assist-ing those affected by Sandy’s destruction by collecting mon-etary donations.

The mock shelter displayed four of the typical cots found at relief shelters.

Each of the cots was equipped with a thin, red blanket and a comfort kit that included basic hygiene supplies.

“When people lose their homes, they lose everything, so having basic supplies can really help them through their recov-ery,” said Jamie Davis, emer-gency services coordinator for the Red Cross’ Central Illinois Chapter.

The Red Cross wanted to showcase exactly what the organization does in response to disasters, and shelters are one of the ways they assist those affected, Davis said.

“Many (students) haven’t seen a shelter like this unless they’ve been in a natural disaster them-selves,” said Dimple Adatia, co-president of the club and senior in LAS.

This simulation will give stu-dents an idea of how the Red Cross is equipped to help them in case of a disaster before one even occurs, she said.

The club has been on the Quad canning for victims of the storm this entire week, Adatia said, adding that the mock shelter is just another effort to help those in need.

“We want to try and make Hurricane Sandy more real to students,” said Kelsey Fitzpat-

rick, co-president of the club and junior in LAS. “We hope this encourages people to donate to the disaster relief fund of the Red Cross.”

The University’s American Red Cross Club works directly with the Champaign chapter to promote awareness of local and

national tragedies and help those affected by disasters. Members volunteer in the community, raise funds for the local Red Cross Chapter, host blood drives, provide services to the armed forces and respond to disasters.

Fitzpatrick said it’s important to inform the public about the

Red Cross and how the organi-zation offers aid to victims of disasters, especially after Hur-ricane Sandy’s destruction of the east coast. She said the simu-lation is benefi cial to students because it shows how the Red Cross gives back to the commu-nity and how students may be

aided by the organization one day.

“We hope this event encour-ages students to empathize with the people affected by the hur-ricane,” she said.

Red Cross simulation displays shelter kits

Red Cross volunteers set up a shelter simulation Thursday on the Quad. The simulation was designed to help people understand the situation and see the help being provided on the East Coast currently because of Hurricane Sandy. Some of the items that were on display were basic hygiene supplies that would be given to help the disaster victims.

Guardian West can also accept the charges, pay the fi ne and show OSHA that the prob-lems have been resolved. The company has yet to take any of these actions but must by Nov. 14, Allen said.

“If it weren’t for OSHA, noth-ing would have got done,” Camp-bell said. “I feel a little safer now, but there’s still a lot of issues.”

After a December 2011 inspection, OSHA charged the company was charged with nine severe safety and health viola-tions, four of which focused on workers’ exposure to dangerous chemicals.

The fines totaled $57,000 but were reduced following an informal conference with the agency.

JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, Wash. — A U.S. Army DNA expert testifi ed Thursday that the soldier sus-pected of killing 16 Afghan civilians during a nighttime rampage last March had the blood of at least four people on his clothes and guns when he surrendered.

The blood of two males and two females was discovered on Staff Sgt. Robert Bales’ pants, shirt, gloves, rifl e and other items, said Christine Trapolsi, an examiner at the Army’s Criminal Investigation Laboratory.

To preserve the rest of the

evidence, she said she only test-ed a portion of the bloodstains, and it’s possible more DNA pro-fi les could be discovered with additional testing.

Trapolsi testifi ed Thursday at a preliminary hearing in Bales’ case. The hearing, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seat-tle, will help determine wheth-er the case advances to a court martial.

Afghan villagers and soldiers are expected to testify by video from Afghanistan Friday, Satur-day and possibly Sunday nights to accommodate the time zone difference.

The witness list for Friday night includes two Afghan National Army guards, two victims and four relatives of victims.

Bales, a 39-year-old Ohio native and father of two from Lake Tapps, Wash., could face the death penalty if ultimate-ly convicted of 16 counts of premeditated murder and six

counts of attempted murder in the March 11 attack in southern Afghanistan.

Prosecutors say that Bales dressed in a T-shirt, cape and night vision goggles, without any body armor, and slipped away from his remote post, Camp Belambay.

He fi rst attacked one village, returned to the base, and headed out again to attack another vil-lage, they say.

In between, he woke a fellow soldier, reported what he’d done, and said he was headed out to kill more, the soldier testifi ed. But the soldier didn’t believe what Bales was saying, and went back to sleep.

Nine children were among the victims, and 11 of the victims were from the same family.

Another forensic expert from the Criminal Investigation Lab, fi ber specialist Larry Peterson, testifi ed Thursday that a small piece of fabric that matched the cape Bales was reported-

ly wearing was discovered on a pillow in one of the attacked compounds.

Prosecutors referred to the cape as a blanket, but Peterson said it was more like a decora-tive covering for a window or doorway.

Bales has not entered a plea and is not expected to testify. His attorneys, who did not give an opening statement, have not discussed the evidence, but say Bales has post-traumatic stress disorder and suffered a concus-sive head injury during a prior deployment to Iraq.

A U.S. agent who investigated the massacre testifi ed Wednes-day that local villagers were so angered it was weeks before American forces could visit the crime scenes less than a mile from a remote base.

By that time, bodies had been buried and some blood stains had been scraped from the walls, Special Agent Matthew Hoffman of the Army’s Crimi-

nal Investigation Command tes-tifi ed Wednesday.

Other stains remained, on walls and fl oors. Investigators also recovered shell casings consistent with the weapons Staff Sgt. Robert Bales report-edly carried.

He also said Bales tested posi-tive for steroids three days after the killings.

Bales leaned back in his chair at the defense table and betrayed no reaction as an Army doctor, Maj. Travis Hawks, gave clinical descriptions of treating the wound-ed villagers as they arrived at a nearby forward operating base.

One young girl had a large bullet wound in the top of her head, he said. She was unre-sponsive at fi rst, but survived after treatment.

A woman had wounds to her chest and genitals, but she and her relatives insisted that the male doctors not treat her. Pros-ecutors displayed photos of the victims being treated.

New York imposes gas rationing system to shorten wait at stationsBY MICHAEL GORMLEY AND TOM HAYSTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — With long gas lines persisting more than a week after Superstorm Sandy, New York imposed a gasoline rationing plan Thursday that lets motorists fi ll up every oth-er day

Police will be at gas stations Friday morning to enforce the new system in New York City and on Long Island.

Gas will be available to driv-ers with license-plate numbers ending in an odd number or a letter on Friday.

On Saturday, drivers with license plates that end in even numbers or zero can fuel up.

“It’ll be bad. How am I going to get my jobs done?” said Par-ris Hancock, a driver for a Man-hattan catering company who makes deliveries from morn-ing to night. “I’ll have to get up at 4 a.m. and just keep going back for gas and waiting in long lines.”

Offi cials said something had to be done to ease the long waits for fuel, which they say has caused panic-buying and hoarding.

“This is designed to let every-body have a fair chance, so the lines aren’t too oppressive and that we can get through this,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

Bloomberg said the system worked well in New Jersey, where lines went from a two-hour wait to 45 minutes after Gov. Chris Christie announced

a similar rationing plan.“We have to do something,”

Bloomberg said. “This is prac-tical and enforceable and a lot better than doing nothing.”

Bloomberg said only a quarter of the city’s gas stations were open.

Some were closed because they were out of power, others because they can’t get fuel from terminals and storage tanks that can’t unload their cargoes.

One station owner in Queens’ Bayside section said the last time he had gas was three days ago.

“Whatever they can do to improve the situation, I’m in favor of,” said yellow-cab driv-er Clee Walsh, as he drove into a BP station on West 36th Street only to discover that it had no gas.

The rationing plan takes effect at 5 a.m. Friday on Long Island, where hundreds of thou-sands of customers remain without power; and at 6 a.m. in New York City.

Buses, taxes and limousines, commercial vehicles and emer-gency vehicles are exempt from the plan, as are people carrying portable gas cans.

Vanity plates that don’t have numbers are considered odd-numbered plates. Out-of-state drivers are also subject to the system.

The mayor said the shortag-es could last another couple of weeks, worrying owners like Ash Gaied.

“It’s more pressure on us,”

Gaied said. “They yell. They curse. You wouldn’t believe it.”

Gaied said one gas delivery lasts the station about seven hours, then he has to wait up to a full day for another one.

He was answering a steady stream of phone calls at dusk Thursday from people running on empty.

“Yes, sir, we have gas,” he told one caller. “No, I don’t know how long the wait is.”

Offi cials said the rationing would be across the region, including Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island, to avoid a rush across municipal lines for gas.

“It’s important that we stay coordinated because we don’t want one county’s plan impact-ing on another county,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “I’m not going to allow any one of them to do something that compro-mises a neighborhood because we’re all neighbors.”

New power outages on Long Island caused by this week’s nor’easter again left stations with gasoline in their tanks unable to activate pumps.

Suffolk County Executive Ste-ven Bellone said the rationing “will ease the challenges resi-dents of the bi-county region are experiencing” after the storm.

Cuomo said he understands the panic, seen in lines blocks long for gas across New York City.

“The system is coming togeth-er slowly,” he said.

A fter what seems like an eterni-ty of campaigning, the showdown between President Barack Obama

and former Gov. Mitt Romney has final-ly come to a close. The entire country — still waiting on Florida — decided it indeed was ready to move “Forward.”

Yes, Obamacare is here to stay, and, as BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczyns-ki tweeted, “Big Bird has lived to fight another day.” Women will not have to be confined to binders, and 47 percent of Americans can be rest assured that they are cared about.

Moving forward proved to be the most beneficial choice for this country, but it was also clear that Mitt Romney was not providing a concrete alterna-tive, which was one of the major flaws of his campaign. The Republican presi-dential candidate hindered his chances at victory long before voting started. It began with his lack of consistency and his inability to maintain a concrete opinion on a variety of issues. It soon ended with his total disregard of 47 percent of Americans.

In a September interview with Meet the Press, Romney stated he would not get rid of President Obama’s health care reform. A day later, he decid-ed the legislation must be completely repealed.

Romney then hummed the same tune about abortion. In early October, Romney seemed to have no intention to change abortion laws and told the Des Moines Register that “he saw no legis-lation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda.” Just 24 hours later, he said that if elected, he would lead the country as a pro-life president and dis-continue the funding for Planned Par-enthood. He also added that he would ban the use of federal funds by pri-vate organizations to pay for abortion procedures.

His constantly changing mind, or what President Obama referred to as “Romnesia,” is what contributed to Romney’s loss. Voters realized that they would rather be led by a president who has shown what he is capable of rather than one who is not too sure.

When trying to make informed deci-sions about political candidates, voters want to know what that candidate rep-resents and believes in. And because Romney would later pick an interest and then decide to disregard it, voters could not be too sure what to believe.

As if amnesia weren’t enough, Mitt Romney failed to provide many details of his plans for the country’s future, as evidenced during the presidential debates. Romney would either respond to a question with an unrelated answer or avoid it altogether, confusing many viewers.

The last and most damaging inci-dent to the Romney campaign was his neglect of the 47 percent of Americans and his failing to reach out to diverse demographics. In September, a secret-ly recorded video was released from a May 2012 fundraiser capturing Mitt Romney disregarding 47 percent of Americans who would vote for Presi-dent Obama regardless. He charac-terized this group as dependent upon government and one who feels they are entitled to handouts from the gov-ernment. He then went on to say that his role “is not to worry about those people.”

This hinted at the uncertainty that lay within the mind of Mitt Romney. While it may not have been his role to worry about it during his Bain Capital days, the group he excluded would be a key concern as president of the United States.

Romney should have used bet-ter judgment. This fundraising video caused uproar and completely turned off large portions of voters from his campaign — and for the right reasons. Again, people want to be led by a presi-dent who has their best interests in mind, and when it comes to the elec-tion of the president, voters want to choose a candidate who will best serve everyone.

Not one who will only serve half of the country.

Political analysts and other members of the Republican Party have said the Romney-Ryan campaign failed to reach certain minorities, which cost them the election. Former Gov. Mike Huckabee said: “I think Republicans have done a pathetic job of reaching out to people of color. That’s something we’ve got to work on.” Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly also commented said: “The white establishment is now the minori-ty. The demographics are changing: It’s not a traditional America anymore.”

I’m not too sure what a “traditional America” is, but I agree that his failing to connect with diverse groups of peo-ple hurt the campaign.

In the end the race between Obama and Romney woke America up. People turned out in record numbers to vote because they understood the premise that actions speak louder than words. And while Mitt Romney may “Believe in America,” believing is not enough to move us “Forward.”

What is really to blame for bad Illini football season?

Dare anyone say it? Then I will.

Perhaps the reason Illinois is having such an embarrassing football season is because one crucial element is missing.

Illinois can fire and hire coaches all they want, but there remains one aspect of the pro-gram that is irreplaceable, that pumps energy and pride into every competition and that brings crowds to their feet.

What would an infusion of such a revered — and sad-ly missed by many — figure of “The Chief” do for the players and fans? I can only imagine how thunderous the applause would be as Chief Illiniwek appeared once more on the field, as he did for decades, dancing and inspir-ing his team onward to victory.

One is left to wonder if it real-ly is just an “off” year for the Illini. Is it the coaching? The players? Or is it being “political-ly correct” and wimping out, in recent times, to blame?

He is gone, but he is not forgotten.

Looking at this lackluster sea-

son, maybe it’s time to bring back the Chief.D.D. SCHUTZ,Catlin, Ill., resident

Smoking ban ends a long and relaxing tradition

I graduated from the Univer-sity in 1969 and am saddened to see that the University has made the regrettable decision to make the campus smoke-free. If Albert Einstein were still alive, he would not be welcome on the University campus — he used to walk around the Princ-eton campus smoking his pipe. Churchill would also not be wel-come because he smoked cigars every day.

Prohibition did not stop people from drinking beer or alcohol, and the smoking ban on cam-pus will not stop people from smoking.

There was a wonderful short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald published in the Aug. 6, 2012, issue of The New Yorker. The story, entitled “Thank You for the Light,” followed a hard-working woman who was feeling stressed out and wanted to

smoke a cigarette to help her relax. She walks into a Catholic cathedral to have a smoke but discovers she has no matches.

In despair, she sits down in a pew under the image of the Virgin Mary statue and dozes off. When she awakens a little while later, she finds her cigarette has somehow been miraculously lit. She thanks the Virgin for the light. In Fitzgerald’s story, even the Virgin Mary has more tolerance for smokers than the University does.

The University has gone too far when it takes away the right to enjoy a smoke while walking on the Quad — a practice that will cause no health threats of any substantial nature.

Ray Bradbury’s famous book “Farenheit 451” comes to mind as a result of the University’s anti-smoking policy. Instead of banning smoking, the University could have done something positive like giving free counseling or medication to those who would like to stop smoking.

S ecrets, secrets are no fun — unless they’re shared with Frank Warren. Dubbed “the

most-trusted stranger in Amer-ica,” Frank Warren has taken secrets and has stripped away the one thing that makes a secret, a secret — privacy. Through the creation of his website Post-Secret, people from across the world are able to send in anonymous postcards and share their secrets on the Internet.

Students packed Foellinger Audi-torium on Mon-day evening to do just that — share their secrets with this complete stranger and hear him speak about the website that has captured the hearts of so many.

I will admit that before attending this presentation, I was very uned-ucated about the PostSecret craze that seems to have caught the attention of so many other college students. And even upon entering Foellinger I was skeptical, still wondering what kind of presen-tation he could give about some-thing so simple as a secret.

But as the presentation began, it quickly became clear I would be pleasantly surprised because this man, this stranger, had defi-nite insight into why people act the way they do. After sharing the history of PostSecret, he ven-tured into the deep-rooted psy-chological aspects of the project. He flipped the idea of keeping a secret on its head: You keep secrets not from other people but from yourself. Many people don’t realize the effects of a secret that they’ve been keeping until they share it, and only then they see

how the secret has impacted oth-er aspects of their lives.

As I sat in the audience, trying to soak in every wise word War-ren spoke, I considered the rea-son why these postcards have had such an effect on people.

By writing secrets down, by giving them an illustration and seeing them written before our eyes, we are making them tan-gible. Through breathing life into these secrets and making them real, we are able to confront them face-to-face and send them away, with the hope of ultimately let-ting them go.

The project aims to connect people, showing them that they are not alone in their secrets. Warren talked about how keep-ing a secret could have a det-rimental effect on a person by isolating him and making her feel completely and utterly alone. PostSecret has also been a vehi-cle for change by keeping people informed about suicide preven-tion. Warren

has been a huge advocate of the National Suicide Prevention Hot-line, and in 2008 alone PostSe-cret raised over $500,000 for the organization.

Warren gave the testimo-nials of people who have sent in postcards to the website. He described how their lives changed after they shared their secrets, how they were able to accept that small confession and understand themselves a little better. In the presenta-tion he showed a picture of one postcard that had an image of a bedroom door with holes in it, describing how the holes were from an abusive parent attempt-ing to get into the child’s room. After the postcard was displayed on the website, he received an influx of emails and postcards

that revealed a similar situation. Warren described how one email stood out to him, which thanked him for displaying the postcard. The sender thought they were the only one with an abusive par-ent, and by seeing that someone else experienced something simi-lar, the sender was able to find strength.

Throughout the presentation he shared some of his favorite post-cards that ranged from funny lies that parents would tell their kids to serious confessions of attempt-ed suicide. As a result of the range of topics that were covered, the emotion in the room was pal-pable. One of the more touching postcards of the night described someone who saved voicemail messages of loved ones, fearing they would die before their voice could be heard again. As voice-mail messages began to play in the background, small whimpers accompanied by tears echoed throughout Foellinger. It was in that moment, with that one post-card, that everyone connected, as if we all had just shared a secret.

After this, many audience members felt compelled to share their own secrets and took to the microphones.

Warren had moved so many people to not only share their secrets anonymously on the web-site but to have audience mem-bers share their secrets at the presentation without the cloak of anonymity. Everyone who shared a secret that night trusted War-ren, and they also put their trust in the hundreds of strangers in the audience because we are all capable of being the most trust-ed stranger in America. We just have to give people the opportu-nity to share a personal treasure, their secrets, with us.

As the presentation end-ed, Warren offered a last bit of insight: “When we keep a secret, we are building walls, but when we share a secret, we are build-ing bridges.”

Secrets, secrets are no fun. Secrets, secrets, when shared, can save someone.

POLITICAL CARTOON VERONICA PHAM THE DAILY ILLINI Why Mitt Romney lost

Proposed China o!ce will increase UI diversity, global ties,

tuition revenue

KATE CULLENOpinions columnist

TA’LES LOVEOpinions columnist

Share your secrets

L ast week, Chancel-lor Phyllis Wise announced prelimi-nary plans to con-struct a Universi-

ty office abroad in China. Although this move could play an important role in the University’s fiscal future, steps must be taken to ensure that the University’s path toward internationalization is done responsibly.

The University has 3,842 Chinese nationals current-ly studying on campus, and administrators estimate the number of living alumni in China to be somewhere in the realm of 20,000 to 30,000.

Given these numbers, estab-lishing the office will have obvious advantages. First, it will generate a more diverse student body, involving more international students in the admissions process. Even if the University won’t be explicit about it, this endeav-or will help recruit better students; and it adds another dimension to the University’s already-strong pursuit of a global learning environment. Further, the larger applicant pool will result in a more competitive admissions pro-cess and higher test scores being admitted, driving up the University’s rankings.

Another advantage to increasing the diversity of students from China is that they pay a significant pre-mium in tuition, which will generate more income for our cash-strapped university.

Establishing an office in either Beijing or Shanghai will tighten the grasp on the wallets of the thousands of alumni in that country.

Administrators have fre-quently cited the many research institutions that the University has partnered with and that this plan will enable them to better connect with leaders in Asia. Having a stronger tie to Asian coun-tries like China can provide the University with more research opportunities, estab-lishing a local base to meet with academics on the other side of the globe.

Under recent leadership, the University has begun dis-tinguishing itself as an inter-national institution, with strong connections abroad.

There’s a strong rationale to take this path. And while international and out-of-state students do pay a signifi-cant premium for not resid-ing in the state of Illinois, the resources they still have access to here would simply not exist from their tuition.

The University should embrace the role of an inter-national educator — which it has played in part since the beginning of the 20th centu-ry – but it still has a distinct responsibility to its intended purpose, which is to train the best and brightest students, especially those who live in the state that funds the school. The University needs to be training and educating students who will first help this state and second this country.

This is, of course, easier said than done: truly accom-plishing that involves coop-eration from more than just research universities in the U.S. and foreign nations.

If students come to the U.S. for an education, they may find it difficult to remain in the country because of scholarship restrictions or expiring visas. Without a guarantee from the federal government that our immi-gration system won’t obstruct employing and naturalizing the students we train here, the University’s primary role of providing education to the students of Illinois cannot be fulfilled.

Despite foreseeable chal-lenges, the benefits of such an office outweigh the nega-tives, and we look forward to its construction.

LOS ANGELES — The man behind an anti-Muslim film that led to violence in many parts of the Middle East agreed to spend a year in federal prison for unre-lated probation violations, but afterward issued a statement that appeared to reinforce his stern stance against Islam.

The man who calls himself Mark Basseley Youssef and has used numerous aliases speaks English but asked for an Arabic language interpreter on Wednes-day, at a hearing that resulted in an agreement between his law-yers and federal prosecutors.

Youssef, an Egyptian-born Christian who is a U.S. citi-zen, sent his attorney out to the

courthouse steps with a message for the media: “The one thing he wanted me to tell all of you is President Obama may have gotten Osama bin Laden, but he didn’t kill the ideology,” attorney Steven Seiden said.

Asked what that meant, Seiden said, “I didn’t ask him, and I don’t know.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Rob-ert Dugdale had no comment on Youssef’s statement.

The prosecutor spoke in court of the toll taken on actors who participated in the filming of “Innocence of Muslims,” an anti-Islamic creed that was pre-viewed in a 14-minute trailer posted on YouTube. The film por-trays Muhammad as a religious fraud, womanizer and pedophile.

He argued Youssef’s lies about

his identity have caused harm to others, including the film’s cast and crew.

Federal authorities initially sought a two-year sentence for Youssef. Seiden argued for his client to be allowed to serve his term under home confinement, but the judge refused. Dugdale argued that was not sufficient punishment.

U.S. District Court Judge Christina Snyder accepted the plea agreement and immedi-ately sentenced Youssef after he admitted to four of the eight alleged violations, including obtaining a fraudulent Califor-nia driver’s license. Prosecutors agreed to drop the other four allegations under the plea deal, which included four years of additional probation time.

Illinois residents vote for concealed carry to build pressure on lawmakersBY TAMMY WEBBERTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Residents in some Illinois counties sent a message to lawmakers this week: Give citi-zens the right to carry concealed weapons.

Measures supporting con-cealed carry were on the bal-lot Tuesday in at least 10 mostly rural counties — Adams, Bond, Henry, McDonough, Mercer, Randolph, Rock Island, Schuy-ler, Stephenson and Warren — and passed overwhelmingly in every one.

The votes were non-binding

because local law cannot over-ride state law. But advocates say they hope to build pressure on lawmakers to support concealed carry.

Illinois is the only state where carrying a concealed weapon is entirely illegal.

“I think the message will be heard,” because some counties that voted on the issue were in more Democrat-leaning north-west parts of the state, said Valin-da Rowe, spokeswoman for Illi-noisCarry, a group that tracks gun-rights advocacy around the state. She lives in rural White

County in southeastern Illinois.“Hopefully (the Democratic

leadership) will see a correlation here that there is widespread sup-port for this issue,” Rowe said.

She acknowledged it could be difficult to get a supermajority of lawmakers to approve concealed carry, even though the Illinois House last year only narrowly defeated a bill that would have legalized the practice. What’s more, Gov. Pat Quinn has said he would veto any bill approv-ing concealed carry and Chica-go anti-gun forces vowed to put up a spirited fight.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Gabrielle Giffords limped to the front of the courtroom and stared silent-ly Thursday as she came face-to-face for the first time with the man who tried to kill her.

The former congresswom-an hadn’t been near Jared Lee Loughner since the deadly ram-page outside a meet-and-greet at a supermarket that killed six people and left her partial-ly blind, with a paralyzed right arm and brain injury.

Giffords’ astronaut husband told Loughner what Giffords couldn’t, before he was sen-

tenced to seven life terms for the January 2011 slayings and attempted assassination of a member of Congress.

“Mr. Loughner, you may have put a bullet through her head, but you haven’t put a dent in her spirit and her commitment to make the world a better place,” Mark Kelly said.

Giffords, wearing a black brace around her torso, looked closely at the 24-year-old Lough-ner for several minutes in silence.

Loughner returned their gaze, but showed no emotion. His mother sobbed nearby.

Loughner was then ordered to serve the seven consecutive

life sentences, plus 140 years in federal prison for the shootings that killed six people and wound-ed 13, including Giffords, as she met with constituents in a Tuc-son shopping plaza.

His guilty plea enables him to avoid a federal death sentence. No state charges will be filed.

The sentencing marked the end of a nearly two-year-long saga in which Loughner, who has schizophrenia, was forcibly medicated at a Missouri pris-on medical facility so he can be competent to understand the charges against him. U.S. Dis-trict Judge Larry Burns rec-ommended Thursday that he remain there indefinitely.

In recent years, glee clubs have gained more popularity thanks to television shows like “Glee” and its spin-offs. Those who want to experience a glee club performance in person can see the University’s own Varsi-ty Men’s Glee Club on Saturday at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts.

The VMGC, which celebrat-ed its 125th anniversary last spring, is among the oldest stu-dent organizations on campus. The group will host its annual concert at the Krannert Center in Foellinger Great Hall in hon-or of Dads Weekend.

“The Dads Day Concert is a celebration of choral music and UI history, as we take listen-ers on a trip through a diverse array of musical styles, from the Renaissance all the way through modern barbershop and pop, with an even split between sacred and secular pieces,” said Tim Garbaciak, club president and senior in Engineering.

Garbaciak said a particular highlight of Dads Day Concert is “the final set of traditional VMGC numbers where we invite our alumni to perform with the club, including our unique ‘Big Ten Medley’ of fight songs and alma maters of each school in the Big Ten.”

There will also be guest per-formances at the event from the Women’s Glee Club and The Oth-er Guys, which is a subset of the Varsity Men’s Glee Club.

Ryan Paroline, club vice pres-ident and senior in LAS, said the theme is Glee-gnam Style, so the crowd can be sure to expect performances influenced by the Korean rapper PSY.

The Varsity Men’s Glee Club hosts two con-certs each year, one for Dads Day and the other in the spring.

In addition to the concerts they hold at the Krannert Center, they sing at var-ious events on and off campus.

“Each theme usually involves some pun or play on words using pop culture and the word ‘glee,’ such as this year’s Dads Day Theme, Glee-gnam Style,” Paroline said.

Past names of their concerts include “Glii Music,” “The Good, The Bad, and the U-Glee” and “Glee-Cep-tion,” which refer respectively to Nintendo Wii, the 1966 spa-ghetti Western and the 2010 sci-ence fiction film.

The glee club’s achievements include traveling throughout the United States and Europe mul-tiple times as musical ambassa-dors for the University.

Barrington Coleman is the current director of the Var-sity Men’s Glee Club. Paro-line credits Coleman’s “highly evocative and expressive con-duction style” as to why the

club has a wide range of dynam-ic and emotional expression in its music.

The club holds auditions at the beginning of the year, and any male student is welcomed to attend.

G a r b a c i a k said that the club has been preparing for the Dads Day Concert since the first week of September. John Junk, sophomore in Business, said what makes all the rehearsals worth it for him is seeing audi-ence members connect to their

performances. The event starts at 7:30 p.m.

and lasts about two hours with a short intermission. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door and cost $4 for students, $7 for seniors and $10 for gen-eral admission.

NEW YORK — McDonald’s Corp. is having a tough time stomaching the competition.

The world’s biggest hamburger chain said Thursday that a key sales figure fell for the first time in nearly a decade in October, as it faced the double whammy of a challenging economy abroad and intensifying competition at home. The company, based in Oak Brook, Ill., says global revenue at restaurants open at least 13 months fell 1.8 percent for the month. The last time it dropped was in March 2003.

The figure is a key metric because it strips out the impact of newly opened and closed loca-tions. It’s a snapshot of money spent on food at both company-owned and franchised restau-rants and does not reflect cor-porate revenue.

McDonald’s says the figure fell in each of the three regions it reports. In both the U.S. and Europe, it fell 2.2 percent. In the region encompassing Asia, the Middle East and Africa, it dropped 2.4 percent. CEO Don Thompson cited the “pervasive challenges of today’s global mar-ketplace” for the declines.

Canada, which is not included in the monthly sales figures, was positive for the month.

After years of outperform-ing its rivals, McDonald’s has been hitting some road bumps recently, with longtime rivals such as Burger King and Wendy’s Co. reviving their brands with improved menus and new TV ad

campaigns. Taco Bell, owned by Yum Brands Inc., is also enjoy-ing growth with the help of new offerings such as it’s Doritos Locos Tacos and higher-end Can-tina Bell bowls and burritos.

Additionally, people are increasingly flocking to restau-rants such as Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. and Panera Bread Co., which offer better-quality food for a little more money. The broader fast-food landscape has been undergoing changes over the past several years too, with the rise of chains such as Subway and Starbucks.

On Thursday, McDonald’s said it would remain focused on underscoring its value message.

In the U.S., for example, the company is refocusing on the Dollar Menu, which was intro-duced about a decade ago. The move comes after an attempt to shift customers to an “Extra Val-ue Menu,” which charges slightly higher prices, fell flat.

The Extra Value Menu was intended to give McDonald’s greater pricing flexibility, rath-er than being boxed in by the $1 price. With the Dollar Menu, the company has had to swap out many items over the years as costs for ingredients have climbed. When the Dollar Menu was first introduced, for example, the flagship offering was the Big ‘N Tasty, made with a quarter-pound beef patty. But earlier this year, McDonald’s even took its small fries off the Dollar Menu.

In October, McDonald’s said that marketing for its Dollar Menu in the U.S. was offset by “modest con-

sumer demand” and heightened competition. Moving forward, the company said it would continue its everyday value marketing.

Andy Barish, a Jefferies ana-lyst, noted that the disappointing results were despite a Monopoly promotion and the launch of its Cheddar Bacon Onion sandwich-es. Barish also said McDonald’s could face a tough fourth quarter given the challenging economic climate — even with the peri-odic appearance of its popular McRib sandwich scheduled for later this month.

In Europe, where McDonald’s gets 40 percent of its business, McDonald’s said it would offer new meal combinations at vari-ous price ranges amid ongoing economic uncertainty, and con-tinue remodeling restaurants. The company said positive results in the United Kingdom were offset by declines across many other regions.

In Asia, the company said it plans to differentiate itself with menu offerings tailored to local tastes.

The company noted that the results were hurt by a calendar shift, with this year’s October having one less Saturday and Sunday and one more Tuesday and Wednesday. Restaurants typically rake in more sales on weekends.

McDonald’s shares fell $1.73, or 2 percent, to close at $85.13 Thursday. The company, which has more than 34,000 locations worldwide, had warned last month that sales were trending negative for the month.

For the last two weeks, the Illi-nois volleyball team has treated

every game like a must-win.

That mentality is now a reality.

Illinois (11-14, 5-10 Big Ten) suf-fered a three-set drubbing at the hands of No. 2 Penn State (24-2, 14-1) on Thursday, 25-17, 25-17, 25-14 . The Illini must now win their fi nal fi ve games of the sea-son to fi nish with a record better than .500 to become eli-gible for the NCAA tournament.

Illinois entered Thursday night’s match in State Col-lege, Pa., with confi -dence and purpose, having taken Penn State to the preci-pice of defeat in the two teams’ fi rst meeting this sea-son, with the Nitta-ny Lions staving off four match points in

the fi fth set before claiming victory .This time around, though, Penn

State made quick work of Illinois, cruising to a sweep in little more than one hour’s time.

Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly was subdued after the game, saying the players’ morale took a hit from the loss.

“I can speculate that it’s not real high right now,” he said. “We just got

our asses kicked.”Penn State led for nearly the entire

match Thursday, jumping to a 10-2 lead in the fi rst set from which it nev-er looked back. Illinois appeared out of sorts early, making numerous hit-ting and service errors on the way to

‘Orange Hush’ welcomes Groce in season openerBY ETHAN ASOFSKYSENIOR WRITER

For but a moment, Tracy Abrams day-dreamed about the crowd going wild.

He imagined himself playing inside a dead silent Assembly Hall during Friday’s Illini basketball season opener, draining the 10th point of the game and watching the crowd break into frenzy.

“That’d be sweet,” Abrams said, as he let him-self break from his usually regimented attitude to let out a smile.

When the Illini open their regular season schedule and fi nally ush-er in the John Groce era against Colgate on Friday, the crowd will be silent.

The Illini student sec-tion “Orange Krush” will lead a tribute to the first-year head coach’s alma mater by instating an “Orange Hush,” much like the “Silent Night” tradition that’s orchestrated at Taylor University every year. Once the ball is tipped off, all fans will be asked to hold their cheers until Illinois reaches 10 points, and then after the goal is met, let hell loose.

“I’m honored,” Groce said. “I’m fl attered and honored that they would basically hon-or Taylor University and welcome me and my family that way. It’ll be interesting. How you can get 18- to 22-year-olds to be quiet until the 10th point, that’s pretty amazing, but I’m very appreciative that they made the decision to do that.”

Before the 10th point is scored and even before the opening tip-off, Groce has to come up with a starting lineup, a task he’s been holding off until the last moment. As of mid-Wednesday, Groce said he still had a few different lineups in mind, and he’s looking for a combination that has specifi -cally played well as group.

For the Illini’s two exhibition games, Groce started the players that graded out the highest in practice. But even those lineups were held off from public or team knowledge, as senior forward Sam McLau-rin said he didn’t know he was starting

Sunday’s exhibition against West Chester until Groce wrote the lineup on the white-board minutes before the game. Groce said he’d likely need to judge Wednesday and Thursday’s practices before any decisions are made.

“I’ve always said freshmen want to play, sophomores want to start, juniors want to score and seniors want to win,” Groce

said. “You hope that’s not true all the time, and some of the younger guys can fi gure that out a little bit earlier. ... To players, cer-tainly to 18-, 19-, 20-year-olds, it means something to them. It’d be foolish to say otherwise, but I think it’s a little overrated.”

Defense is not overrat-ed, and it’s an area the Illini need to improve on, especially in transition. In fact, Groce said that based off fi lm from Sun-

day’s exhibition game, the Illini’s offense is a little ahead of their defensive prepa-ration, and most of the time that shouldn’t be the case.

Part of the reason why Groce hasn’t set a lineup yet is because results change every-day. McLaurin said the Illini are still fi rm-ly in the learning stage of the new system, and while Abrams said the team was get-ting close to a full comfort level, the Illini simply aren’t there yet. Groce has been getting his team prepared under a system much like the one he implemented at Ohio, which features a more up-tempo pace that fi ts the Illini’s athleticism.

“We’ll know (if we have it down) as the games start rolling,” McLaurin said. “As fans, you’ll see us progressing as the year goes on. You may see spurts of it early or it may take a while, but we’re all patient with the process and we understand that it is a process.”

That process starts on Friday, when the Red Raiders’ jump-shooting attack comes to Champaign, and the Illini try to hush their preseason critics.

Women’s basketball to play Evansville in 1st regular gameBY MICHAEL WONSOVERSTAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s basketball team has begun the season on quite a hot streak.

In the past two games, the Illini have reeled off consecutive victories, forced 93 turnovers and averaged 104.5 points per game — albeit against non-Division I competition.

But come Sunday, the stellar exhibition perfor-mances won’t matter.

The Illini will play their fi rst game of the regular season against Evansville. After facing the likes of NAIA Marian and Division III Concordia, the Illini will have to shift gears for a Division I opponent.

Despite the games not counting in the win-loss column, junior forward Kersten Magrum took away some positives from the exhibition season.

“I think it gets our team in our rhythm,” Magrum said. “I don’t think necessarily the point differen-

Hockey prepares for series with underperforming LindenwoodBY BLAKE PONSTAFF WRITER

How the mighty have fallen.The No. 10 Lindenwood (4-5-3)

entered the season primed to be one of the nations best teams, as it was No. 2 in preseason rankings. Fri-day and Saturday’s games will be the fi rst time in years No. 8 Illinois (11-4-2) has a higher ranking than Lindenwood.

After beginning the season 0-3, the Lions have not been able to get in a consistent groove. Lindenwood has already suffered two sweeps, one at the hand of Central Oklaho-ma, a team Illinois dominated a few weekends ago.

After coming off an impressive split against No. 2 Ohio last week-end, Illinois looks to turn its fortunes around against a Lindenwood pro-gram that has dominated the Illini. In four meetings last year, the Lions won each game handily en route to a 31-5 record that season.

Junior forward Matt Welch said sweeping the series “is a must” for Illinois.

“These games are very important for us,” he said. “The past couple of years that I’ve been here, Linden-wood has been a top team.”

The Illini’s key to victory against the Lions will be getting shots on net. A stubborn Lindenwood defense

is allowing only 26 shots per game, but sophomore goaltender Kirk Cro-swell’s save percentage is only .880 . Getting pucks to net shouldn’t be an issue for Illinois, as the team averages just under four goals per game.

“I think we just need to play our game,” Welch said. “We know what we do well and what kind of team we are. Individually, guys need to play to their strengths.”

One of those strengths will be size. Head coach Nick Fabbrini is sure to use both Welch and sopho-

a 25-17 fi rst set loss that seemed to leech away any confi dence the Illini gained from their win over the Hoosiers last week.

Illinois’ only lead of the match came during the fi rst half of the second set, when the team showed signs of life while clawing to a 15-12 lead. But show-ing why it’s the nation’s No. 2 team, Penn State turned that disadvantage into a dominating run, the likes of which are not often seen in volleyball.

With Illinois leading 17-16 , Penn State reeled off nine straight points to storm back and win the set 25-17. And the momentum did not stop there. The Illini’s bleeding continued at a critical rate com-ing out of the break, as the Nittany Lions bolted to a commanding 14-1 lead in the third set. Com-bined between the two sets, Penn State won 23-of-24 points, gained a stranglehold on the game and put Illinois’ season on life support.

“That was the best serving we’ve seen,” Hambly said of the Nittany Lions’ run. “They served great and we were just out of system the whole time.”

During the loss, the Illini’s outside hitters strug-gled more than they had all season, with Ali Stark , Jocelynn Birks and Liz McMahon all hitting for a negative hitting effi ciency Thursday. As a team, Illi-nois hit just .034 and made 23 hitting errors and 10 service errors.

“That’s why we lost,” Hambly said.Illinois’ postseason hopes are now hanging by a

thread. The stretch begins Saturday in what looks to be the toughest of the games, at No. 15 Ohio State (19-8, 10-5) . The Buckeyes came back from a 2-0 set defi -cit to defeat the Illini at Huff Hall earlier this season.

The Illinois women’s cross-coun-try team is ready to bounce back again in a roller-coaster season.

After a ninth-place fi nish at the Big Ten Championships, the Illini on Friday are ready to get back to mid-season form at the NCAA Mid-west Regional in Springfi eld, Mo.

“We’ve bounced back after Big Tens,” coach Jeremy Rasmussen said. “We’ve been working out really well, and I think they’re ready to go out there and show who we are and what we’re capa-ble of doing.”

The Illini will fi eld a diverse group of runners, as seniors Courtney Yaeger and Madeline Aufmann; junior Katie Porada; sophomore Chloe Schmidt; and freshmen Amanda Fox, Alyssa Schneider and Lindsey Rakosnik will compete.

“We’re not asking them to do anything crazy,” Rasmussen said. “We’re not asking them to go above and beyond what they have shown in practice. We just want them to race to their ability. We want to run together like we did at Notre Dame and have our gap from the front to the back under 40 seconds.”

Illinois will try to beat the likes of Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Minnesota, which are ranked in the top three in the region. The cross-country team will also race against familiar competition in Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska.

“Our goal is to go out there and race Minnesota,” Rasmussen said. “If we can go beat them, we’re going to give ourselves a chance to get to the national meet.”

Illinois, who fi nished 15th over-all at last year’s Midwest Regional meet, is trying to bring the right attitude into the race and come away with a top-fi ve fi nish.

“Our goal is top fi ve,” Fox said. “On a really good day, we could place fourth and maybe have a chance of getting pushed into a spot in the national championship meet.”

The top-two teams after Fri-day’s meet will automatically advance to the NCAA Champion-ships in Louisville, Ky. A third- or fourth-place fi nish could land the Illini a wild card spot.

“We are defi nitely motivated by the thought of being able to get back there (after the pre-nationals) and race again and have a whole team down there this time,” Fox said.

But for now, the Illini are focus-ing on a course that Rasmussen said is fair, yet challenging.

“I think we all know the poten-tial is there.” Yaeger said. “And that is an important part, having that confi dence is going to help us a lot. (Our performance) really just depends on the attitude we show up with on that day. Right now we are feeling confi dent and think that on our best day we can be top fi ve, beat Minnesota and make a bid for nationals.”

more forward Derek Schultz as screeners in front of Croswell to defl ect shots and clean up loose pucks.

Both players are over 6 feet and are tough to move when sta-tioned in front of the net.

“We have to make sure we have a lot of net presence against them,” senior forward Scott Barrera said. “A lot of goals we scored against them in the past were mostly off of rebounds and loose pucks in the crease.”

Fabbrini said the Illini’s focus against a weaker opponent will be a concern. He has said one of the team’s main problems is playing down to its opposi-tion, which was evident in head-scratching losses to Michigan State and Arizona .

“We have stressed all week what Lindenwood is capable of,” Barrera said. “They have played really well every time we have played them since I have been here (late 2009), so we need to ignore how they have been play-ing and make sure we do every-thing right.”

tial gives us confi dence, I think just seeing the system work and just being more confi dent in each other is what gives us confi dence. People, especially guards, they’ve been really get-ting after it, and that leads to easier turnovers for people like me and Karisma (Penn).”

Illini head coach Matt Bollant has been pleased with his team’s on-ball pressure and effort so far but said the team has found its Achilles’ heel.

“Our talking,” Bollant said. “You can’t be a good defensive team, you won’t win games in March if you’re not willing to talk. One of the things I said to them is everything we’ve asked you to do, you’ve done so far, but we’re asking you to talk and it’s

defi nitely a glaring weakness of our team and something we got-ta take to heart.”

Even with the shortcomings on the defensive end, the Illini allowed only 33 points per game during the preseason. The Illi-ni had room to make mistakes because of the disparity in talent and superior athleticism.

Bollant said he isn’t worried about his team’s lack of competi-tion so far since the players have been facing one another during practice.

“The good thing is we play against a really good squad everyday,” Bollant said. “Our second group with Sarah Hart-well and Adrien GodBold are extremely good. We said in the locker room, ‘I don’t think there’s many Big Ten teams that have a second group as good as ours.’”

Sophomore guard Alexis

Smith , who averaged 18 points and 6.5 assists per game the last two games, will make her fi rst career regular season start Sun-day. Smith has a plan to avoid underestimating Evansville after cruising so far.

“Just having the same mental-ity we’ve been having,” Smith said. “Just continuing to run the fl oor and making easy passes, going to practice and doing what you have to do, you’ll be fi ne.”

The Purple Aces, although a Division I opponent, struggled last season. The team fi nished last in the Missouri Valley with a record of 5-25 — six wins less than the Illini endured last year. The Illini’s only game against the MVC last year came in a 66-56 victory against Illinois State in Normal, Ill.

The Redbirds won 20 games last season, good for second-best in their conference. Bol-

lant’s Green Bay squad defeat-ed Northern Iowa 75-67 in its only game against the MVC last season.

Magrum, who is starting to get more comfortable on the fl oor after recovering from a concussion suffered prior to the start of the exhibition sea-son , said she expects the coach-ing staff to keep the team from experiencing an emotional letdown.

“I don’t think our coaching staff will allow that,” Magrum said, followed by laughs from Bollant nearby. “I think they’re gonna push us in practice, they’re gonna treat it just like everything else. They’re not gonna let this large point total get to our heads. We know we have a lot of things to do.

Illini hope to bring ‘A’ game to RedbirdsBY J.J. WILSONCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Illinois swimming and div-ing is back off of a tough week of training dur-ing its bye week. Illinois will take on Illinois State on Friday night in Normal, Ill., in its fi rst away meet of the season.

“It was a chal-lenging week,” head coach Sue Novitsky said. “We got a lot of work done in the pool and in the weight room. ... (We) just keep building that base.”

Since 2000, the Illini have defeated the Redbirds in each of their 12 head-to-head meetings. The last time the teams compet-ed in Normal was two years ago, when the Illini emerged victori-ous with a fi nal score of 175-123. But past victories aren’t allow-ing Illinois to change its strategy.

“At a home meet, there’s an automatic intensity (that) you bring to the pool. ... You don’t really have to work to build an intensity at a home meet,” senior

Kathleen Knight said. “So travel-ing away, it’s not very far, but you still have to work to make sure you stay very ‘in the moment’

and not let it get away. It’s not a vacation. You’re still going, you still have to keep the meet in mind and keep that as the foremost focus. Get in, get the job done, get out.”

N o v i t s k y agreed that traveling away added a differ-ent element to

the meet and that the swimmers and divers lose their sense of comfort. She said she wants her team to be as consistent as they are at home and get themselves ready to go.

Novitsky said in past meets with Illinois State, Illinois has let down a bit in terms of putting together complete races, part of the reason being the difference in environment.

Illinois State’s pool is espe-cially different from the Illi-ni’s home, having only six lanes instead of the usual eight. Senior

Sarah Coady said that this causes cramped warmups and can some-times add to the loss of comfort.

“It’s a mental preparation thing as compared to here, when we know this pool and we know what to expect,” Coady said.

Knight and Coady both said that distance is going to be one of the biggest struggles for the Illini heading into this meet. Redbird senior Tori Alland pos-es the largest threat with person-al best times of 4 minutes, 55.81

seconds and 10:10.88 in the 500- and 1,000-yard free, respectively.

“We’re always putting togeth-er a lineup so that we’re looking to win the meet,” Novitsky said. “Our strength is still our stroke events, so we’ll be looking to cap-

italize in those and take advan-tage of those freestyle events where I think we can gain some advantages.”

Though Illinois fell short at Big Tens, soccer confi dent for NCAA tournamentBY CHARLIE MANIATESSTAFF WRITER

Just a few weeks ago, an NCAA tournament bid seemed out of reach for a struggling Illinois soccer team.

After three straight losses to teams with equal or less-er records, the Illini need-ed answers. A blowout win at Nebraska then propelled them to a four-game winning streak and ultimately a bid to play in the 64-team tournament for the second straight season.

The Illini will travel to Columbia, Mo., to square off with Missouri in the fi rst round Saturday. While they were unable to pull off an improbable Big Ten Tournament champion-ship win, Illinois’ confi dence is the highest it has been all season.

“I think the whole conference tournament, even the come-from-behind win against Michi-gan, if you look at the last four or fi ve games, this team is believ-ing,” head coach Janet Rayfi eld said. “They’re believing in their own ability to fi ght, they’re believing in their own ability to score goals against good teams. If you take those two things going forward, it means we’re going into this postseason with confi dence.”

Rayfi eld added that the Illini are not overconfi dent to the point where they are underestimating opponents but that they believe in what they can do.

Missouri, though, is no easy adversary. The Illini played the Lady Tigers to a 1-1 tie in an exhi-bition match in Columbia last season. Missouri is not afraid to

get in opponents’ faces, so Illi-nois needs to be prepared.

“The momentum, I think, is what we need going into the tour-nament. Teams that are hot right now end up doing better,” senior forward Niki Read said. “I think that’s really good for us going to Missouri, who’s a very big, physi-cal team.”

Health has been one of the biggest reasons for the Illini’s turnaround in the past couple of weeks. Throughout the season, they have had nagging injuries that have kept them from being at full strength.

“Part of the reason the pieces are coming together is because we have the pieces of the puzzle, and we’ve been able to get those pieces and put them in some competitive situations,” Rayfi eld said. “There’s a melding of that

unit now that we get to carry into this NCAA tournament.”

Rayfi eld said playing eight games without junior midfi elder Vanessa DiBernardo as well as injuries to senior forward Shay-la Mutz and freshman forward Nicole Breece were some things that held the Illini back this year.

With everything together now, Illinois needs to take advantage of its strengths.

“Obviously you’re going to have that anxiety of being in the tournament and wanting to win. A loss and you’re done,” junior forward Megan Pawloski said, “But at the same time, we need to be playing with composure and doing what we do best, and that’s possessing and going to goal.”

Illinois senior Kathleen Knight takes a breath while swimming the 100-yard butterfl y during the Illini’s 153-147 win over Michigan State at the ARC on Oct. 27. Knight said she hopes Illinois bring the same intensity to the away meet at Illinois State on Friday.
