Spurlock Museum hosted a dis- cussion panel regarding Alma Mater’s progress and the specific renovations that were necessary. This talk was led by a panel con- sisting of the main conservator, as well as four University officials who have worked closely with this project. When Alma Mater was lifted in August 2012 to be moved to the conservation studio, Chris- ta Deacy-Quinn, the collections manager of the Spurlock Muse- um, said she climbed under and looked up into the statue and was surprised at what she saw. “We thought it was just a sur- face problem, but when we looked inside we saw bolts were failing and we realized it was in a lot worse shape than we thought it was,” she said. She then went on to explain the treatments that Alma has been receiving since it left cam- pus; first, an x-ray was done that revealed that 60-80 percent of the bolts that hold the different parts of Alma together were either gone, missing or in bad shape. Andrzej Dajnowski, director of the Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio and lead conser- vator, said the failing bolts made him decide to take apart the 48 pieces that make up the statue, even though it is very unusual to take apart a statue when complet- ing its restoration. “At the beginning I didn’t want to take it apart, but then we real- ized that if we didn’t it would be a nightmare,” he said. Danjonwski said the old bolts are being replaced with bronze bolts specifically created for Alma and they “should last for- ever.” The internal structure will continue to be sound and should not cause a problem in the future, he added. The second treatment that Alma is undergoing is a laser cleaning of her entire structure, Deacy-Quinn said. The process is reasonably new but it is becom- ing the most accepted method of cleaning statues and Danjonwski is the leader of this technology, said Jennifer Hain Teper, head of the conservation unit for the uni- versity library at the University. Melvyn Skvarla, campus his- toric preservation officer, said laser cleaning takes off the layers of corrosion that have accumulat- ed on Alma Mater like the white and black mold that was growing on it. He said the blue color that Alma turned over time comes from a naturally found chloride that is very corrosive and not good for the sculpture. The panelists said they decided to return Alma to a cocoa-brown color after the restoration. “It is returning to the bronze that (Lorado) Taft (the creator) intended,” Skvarla said. Danjonwski said that many parts of the restoration process are rewarding. “If you replace the bolts, you know it is safe, and if you clean the surface then it is esthetical and those are pleasant changes as well,” he said. The panelists said they plan to treat and clean Alma Mater every year so that she never has to be restored to this extent again. The project is expected to cost $360,000, over two times the orig- inal estimation of $100,000. Skvarla said all the money that has paid for Alma Mater comes from the Chancellor’s Fund, a pool of money from private donors. Student funds or other university funds have not been used for this, he said. “This is the symbol of the uni- versity,” Deacy-Quinn said. “So we must preserve it.” Claire can be reached at [email protected].

She was also appointed as Illinois’ poet laure- ate as Carl Sandburg’s successor until her death 32 years later. “We’re very excited about this acquisition because Brooks is one of the most important American poets in the 20th century,” said Anna Chen, curator of the Rare Book & Manuscript Library. With financial assistance from the President’s and Chancellor’s offices, the library purchased Brooks’ literary archive from her daughter, Nora Brooks Blakely. The collection includes 150 boxes of Brooks’ works spanning more than six decades, including poetry and prose she wrote as a teenager, annotated photographs, notes recording her daily life, her thoughts and current events that she had jotted down as well as extensive correspondence with other writers. As a great American poet, Gwendolyn Brooks’ archives allow researchers and schol- ars to get a sense of how she worked and what she thought, said Valerie Hotchkiss, direc- tor of the library, in an email. “We’ve already had people con- tacting us who are interested in the collection to see if it’s ready,” said Marten Stromberg, anoth- er curator of the library. “It’s a wealth of information about Gwendolyn Brooks.

HOROSCOPESBY NANCY BLACKTRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Today’s BirthdayCreative projects excite this year. Your muse showers you with love for a springtime rise in romantic status, inciting you to summer travel and a career break. Send media releases this summer as opportunities develop. Take time for health and well-being. Adapt to big changes. Let the love sink in.To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)Today is an 8 -- Monday is for romance (at least today is). Fall in love all over again. You can do more with less. You know what you really want, so follow your passion. If you fail, get back on the horse. Keep it fun.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)Today is a 7 -- You’re full of brilliant ideas, which are extremely practical now. Talk it over with your partner for exponential gains. Listen carefully, and don’t make assumptions. When in doubt, ask. Bring your ingenuity home.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)Today is an 8 -- Avoid distractions and get into detailed work. Now it’s easier to concentrate. Don’t wander off too far from home, as you have some chores ! rst.
Share sweet words with someone interesting later.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)Today is a 9 -- What you learn now will stay with you for a long time. Focus on the piece of the job you love. Make some honest money while you’re at it. You’re especially good, more than you give yourself credit for.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)Today is a 9 -- You’re on top of the world for the rest of the day. Come down from cloud nine, eventually, and start making some serious money. You have everything you need, just add discipline. Enjoy the process.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)Today is a 7 -- You’re especially sensitive now. It may look like an uphill kind of day. There’s still beauty to be found along the trail. And just think about the fun you’ll have running down after you reach the crest.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)Today is an 8 -- Surround yourself with common goals and support each other in your dreams. Together you can ! gure out new ways to make money. Keep your friends close, and stay out of the way of enemies. Use your intuition.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)Today is an 8 -- You’re in charge and ready to take action. Pour on the steam and advance more than expected. Some caution is advised
since Mercury is retrograde, but don’t let that mess up your plans. Get a friend’s help with any breakdowns.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)Today is a 9 -- Hit the road, Jack, and discover an adventure along the way, the kind to tell your grandchildren about. Romance ! gures in the picture, too. Keep your expenses low, and your head held high. Pack light.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)Today is an 8 -- You’re being challenged, giving you an opportunity to show your worth. Be tough. You may even surprise yourself. You’ll have time to play, too. Opposites attract even more so now. Find a way to share resources with a partner.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)Today is a 9 -- You’ll ! nd it easier to balance romance with career. Start by working on projects you love. Involve a partner to take it farther, and dramatically increase the fun level. Keep practicing and trying new things. Just go play.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)Today is a 9 -- Give yourself the room to grow, even if that means letting go of things you’ve been hanging on to for no particular reason. Out with the old, and in with new income and possibilities. Renovate the way you provide great service.

Campus Liquor officially closed its doors at midnight Sat-urday, ending a 27-month run at their location on the northwest corner of Fourth and Green street. Co-owners Sital Patel and Major Singh opened the store in fall 2011, replacing what had previously been Colonial Pan-try Food Store. Campus Liquor will be completely moved out of the space by the end of Tues-day, Patel said. Its owners plan to take a “much-needed” vacation until the fall of next year, when they will reopen the store under-neath the new apartment build-ing that is under construction on the northwest corner of Second and Green street. The store will be renamed Campus Pantry and will carry grocery items, such as milk and eggs, in addition to liquor, Patel said.
Their move from Fourth and Green street makes room for a high-rise apartment complex currently in its design phase, which will be erected where IHOP and Campus Liquor cur-rently stand. As a joint venture between two Chicago-based development fi rms, HERE and Campus Acquisitions, the project will break ground in November and is scheduled to open for the
2015-2016 school year. Accord-ing to HERE developer James Letchinger, the complex aims to be “the fi nest student living option on campus in terms of design, location and amenities.” The tower will be sixteen stories and feature retail space on the fi rst fl oor.
On Saturday, however, Campus Liquor was open for business for its last day until next fall. Stu-dents decked out in Homecoming gear came and went. According to Patel, the owners saw a good turnout for the last day of busi-ness, selling most of what was left in stock.
Madeline Lloyd, senior in LAS, said she wanted to frequent the store one last time to say thank you to Patel and Singh. Most seniors will not be here next year when the store reopens.
“It’s always a little sad when any place on campus closes down, especially when it’s a part of your college years,” she said.
Lloyd said she was a sopho-more when the store opened and believes the store’s success can be attributed to its convenient location for students and the friendliness of Patel and Singh.
“Whenever you go in there they are so nice; they always make conversation with you,” she said.
Patel said that his favorite memories from owning Campus Liquor for the past two years have come from meeting and talking to customers and many expressed concern when they heard the store was closing. Smil-ing, he remembered some of their comments, such as, “We’re going
to miss you guys, now we have to walk far to another liquor store.”
Patel also credits the store’s popularity among students to their deals and location in cam-pustown. Deals are advertised by the store on the business’ Face-book page, where they dissemi-nate most of their information.
Students should also look to the page next year for more informa-tion about Campus Liquor’s new location. Until then, the store’s “regulars” will have to fi nd another liquor store to frequent.

Lou Reed never had the prom-inence or commercial sales of 1960s peers such as the Bea-tles or Bob Dylan. Though hav-ing only one major commercial hit, “Walk on the Wild Side”, his infl uence was just as vast, if not more so. Punk, post-punk and most strains of underground music of the past 40 years would not exist without the one-of-a-kind merger of music and words pioneered by Reed and his groundbreaking band, the Velvet Underground.
Reed died Sunday at 71 in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to a liver transplant he
underwent in May, his literary agent said.
He leaves behind one of the most profound musical legacies of any 20th century artist. His lyrics suggested a new kind of street poetry, at once raw and literary. His music — conceived with John Cale, Sterling Morri-son and Maureen Tucker in the Velvet Underground, merged primitivism with sophisticat-ed avant garde ideas. The Vel-vets made four landmark stu-dio albums before crumbling in 1970, each a template for the underground music to follow. The artists in their debut include R.E.M., David Bowie, the Sex Pistols, the Talking Heads, Roxy
Music, U2 and Patti Smith, and stretched from Iceland (Bjork) to South America (Os Mutantes).
In a 1992 interview with the Chicago Tribune, Reed explained his daring mix of high and low art. He only want-ed nothing to do with the mid-dle-brow territory occupied by most rock music in the ‘60s and beyond.
“I was an English major in col-lege (Syracuse University), for chrissakes,” Reed said. “I ought to be able to put together a good lyric at the very least. It would be embarrassing if I couldn’t. And I really like rock. It’s party stuff, dance stuff and R&B stuff that we all grew up on and loved. But
I wanted something that would engage you mentally, that you could listen to on another level. I just thought that would be the perfect thing in rock ‘n’ roll. That 10 years from now you could still listen to one of my albums because it wasn’t just a party record, but something that would engage you emotionally, intellectually, if not spiritually, on the level that a nov-el can. And because you also have music going on, you could do some-thing that no other form could do, especially if someone is listening on headphones. You could really get their attention and really take them someplace. You’re joining the voice in their head with your voice-there’s no one else there.”
Reed, born in Brooklyn in 1942, grew up in a middle-class family and went on to study at Syracuse University, where he was mentored by the famed poet Delmore Schwartz.
His staunch interest in Beat lit-erature and classic soul and doo-wop was perhaps underutilized in his job as staff songwriter for Pick-wick Records in New York, but the for-hire tunesmithing sharpened his affi nity for writing simple two- or three-chord melodies. “I want-ed to be a writer, always did,” he once said. “Ever since elementary school I was writing songs, and I’ve essentially been able to sur-vive by writing. I consider myself really, really lucky.”
That gift fl ourished in the Velvets, where he wrote such future classics as “Rock ‘n’ Roll,” “Sweet Jane” and “Pale Blue Eyes.” In the mid-’60s, he befriended Cale, a classically trained musician from Wales, who brought a cutting-edge sense of harmonics and tex-ture to Reed’s melodies. Cale in turn was astounded by Reed’s skill with lyrics. “I’d never met anyone like Lou who could put words together like that. He would create these dangerous scenarios in the songs, in part because we were fi nding our-selves in these strange, dan-gerous scenarios all the time in New York.”
further,” Hotchkiss said. The curators are working to
build an understanding of how the materials fi t together while arranging, describing and rehous-ing them to ensure they will be
accessible for researchers. “A sense of discovery is one of
the most exhilarating products of archival work,” Chen said. “Def-initely looking at all the letters, manuscripts, notes, photos and other materials, it’s clear that there are many discoveries to be made with this collection.”
Archives document and pre-
serve the creative process, mak-ing them part of the cultural record.
“Whether it is the work of a writer or an artist or a political fi g-ure or even an institution, it falls to the archivist to be a steward for the memory of that institution or that person,” Chen said.
Stromberg said the job of an
archivist is to bring history to peo-ple through the objects that have been preserved.
“We have the primary resourc-es,” he said. “Without these, you’re just trusting the description in the textbooks about what happened in the past.”
Because patrons and research-ers have access to historical lit-
erary works and archives online, Stromberg believes this actual-ly increases the awareness of the material so more people visit and study collections they’ve never seen before.
He said there are some things a person can learn from the object itself that can’t be learned from a digital image.
“Something about being in the presence of the object itself, know-ing that this thing was held and read by someone 400 years ago, I don’t think is a worthless experi-ence,” Stromberg said. “Inspira-tion has its own value.”

to school, it was go all the way up to the light and down back around.”
Students are advised to cross Prospect Avenue at the Green Street intersection because there is a stoplight. The changes will allow students to cross Prospect Avenue in the school zone at Daniel Street with a crossing guard, which leads directly to South Side Elementary School.
“We’ll start to change the culture, get people’s attention and get them slowing down,” Gerard said. “If most of the traffi c is slowing down, all of the traffi c will be slowing down.”
At the meeting, Deputy Mayor Tom Bruno suggested that students who cross Prospect Avenue while walking to school could attend another elementary school that does not require them to cross the busy road.
Parents in Unit 4 School District can apply for admission to a variety of elementary and middle schools, according to Unit 4’s registration website. Because of this, students may attend a school that may not necessarily be closest to their house.
Bruno questioned whether students living west of Prospect Avenue could attend Westview Elementary School, which would prevent students from crossing Prospect Avenue, but the council does not have authority over where students attend school.
“Anything is better than nothing, and these are pretty substantial acts we’re going to be taking,” Gerard said.
Of the four issues presented at the meeting, three were passed. Council members rejected a fourth plan to direct staff to evaluate the feasibility of applying “Complete Street” standards to Prospect Avenue, which recognizes the need to accommodate all modes of transportation, including vehicles, transit, bicycles and pedestrians and would possibly reduce Prospect to three lanes of travel.

School to ensure that it can con-tinue to be strong and actual-ly become even stronger in the future,” he said at the hearing. “We are exploring whether some new place within the Univer-sity would allow the school, its students, its faculty, and its out-reach programs to operate more effectively and to expand its excellence.”
He said if the decision is made to merge the school, it will go
through a long process. The merg-er will need to be approved by an Urbana-Champaign Senate sub-committee, various University offi ces and the University’s Board of Trustees.
“Being part of a larger unit could have a number of imme-diate benefi ts such as increased interdisciplinary research collab-oration opportunities for faculty and students, increased fl exibil-ity in educational curricula that would enhance opportunities for students, increased possibili-ties for faculty hiring and joint appointments, (and) increased
competitiveness in the job mar-ket for students when they gradu-ate,” he said.
Campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said the University is evalu-ating all its schools and looking for opportunities to help them grow.
“We are asking all of our departments, schools and colleges to take a hard look at how they are organized, and to assess whether a different organizational structure could enhance excellence,” she said in an email. “We know that the School of Labor and Employ-ment Relations wants to increase its master’s degree enrollments,
for example, and it needs campus support and a larger infrastruc-ture to do that.”
Regardless of the University’s intent to foster growth, Carrigan said the best way for the school to grow is to remain an indepen-dent unit.
“The University of Illinois’ School of Labor and Employment Relations is known nationwide for being in the top three for its program of excellence,” he said. “We believe that left in its current form, the school will continue to grow and prosper.”
There is both history and
thoughtful decision making behind the school’s independence, Carrigan said.
From Carrigan’s perspective, a merger would not do the school justice.
“This school was a win-win for both business and workers. The success of the program is a tes-tament to the vision of organized labor all those years ago,” he said. “It has far exceeded our expecta-tions and it would be a shame to see it fail in another unit of study.”

As obtaining four-year bachelor’s degrees become a more ubiqui-tous precursor to entering to-day’s workforce, many employ-ers are looking for new ways to
distinguish among prospective employ-ees: internships.
All internships typically contribute to an intern’s knowledge in his or her field of study and provide valuable “re-al-word” working experience, but not all pay. Not only has the issue of paying (or not paying) interns been the fulcrum of the intersection between higher educa-tion and the workforce, but it essential-ly sets one group of interns ahead of the other.
In June, a U.S. court declared that two unpaid interns working on the production of “Black Swan” must be financially com-pensated by 20th Century Fox for their work, which paralleled that of paid em-ployees. In retrospect, the ruling was the first to blur the line between the entitle-ments of interns versus employees.
And earlier this month, a New York federal district court ruled that an un-paid intern suing her employer for sexu-al harassment could not bring a lawsuit forth since she was not an employee and therefore not protected under the law.
The problem isn’t so much whether these interns are getting paid, but rath-er the legal ramifications of what being paid means for interns. The first example highlights that although unpaid interns may do the same work as paid employ-ees, they are not legally employees and will not be compensated accordingly as employees. The second highlights that al-though unpaid interns may be working in the same environment as other paid em-ployees, they are not treated as equals in the work environment under the law.
This is often the picturesque version of the exploited unpaid intern narrative: Do the same work as employees with little-to-no pay and none of the legal benefits. And while many employers see unpaid in-ternships as the intern’s voluntary choice to learn the ins and outs of entry-level po-sitions, it’s questionable whether losing the legal status as an employee is even worth the experience.
How can the phenomenon of unpaid in-ternships persist when U.S. courts are telling interns that they can’t bring a case of sexual assault to court because they aren’t technically employees, despite breathing and working in the same envi-ronment as them? And how can it persist when interns are exploited for their work and stripped of their compensation by world-renowned, powerhouse companies such as 20th Century Fox?
It can’t. We can’t continue allowing an internship system once set on putting prospective employees ahead with the experience they need into a system that makes it so incredibly easy for employ-ers to take advantage of their interns.
Instead, prospective unpaid interns should be aware of what separates them from paid employees under the Fair La-bor Standards Act — that they aren’t nec-essarily entitled to a job at the end of the internship or entitled to wages. But em-ployers considering bringing on unpaid interns should also be aware of the con-ditions of an unpaid internship — such as an intern taking the place of regular paid employees or the internship as a benefit for the intern and not necessarily the em-ployer.
Some companies have decided to ter-minate their internship programs. Conde Nast, a magazine publisher, did so when allegations arose that the company was paying below minimum wage. However, other companies are keeping their doors wide open.
Research Park, for example, prides it-self on and depends on the student work-force at the University. According to its website, more than one-third of employ-ees and research assistants are under-graduate students, many of whom are paid. And the Park explicitly states on its website that wages for interns are “sub-stantially lower than full-time hires” and that “interns are prepared for full-time employment through training.”
They lay the expectations out, define the rules and set the standards. If only all internship programs could steer away from the selfish intentions of the com-pany and toward whom they really are meant to benefit — the interns.
Just a month ago, a universi-ty-sponsored student news-paper, The Crimson White,
at the University of Alabama exposed the fact that many sororities on their campus have explicitly denied admission to prospective pledges based pure-ly upon their race. This story, which was ultimately picked up by The Guardian, prompted an outrage of response both from the University of Alabama and universities across the country.
President Judy Bonner came out and tried to further distance the university from these rac-ist accusations via a series of speeches and statements. No speech or statement, however, can cover up the fact that this type of racism, intentional or not, persists in our society.
I’m not saying that our entire society is racist, but rather that what happened at Alabama is happening all over the country, albeit much more subtly.
At first I wanted to cast blame on the University of Ala-bama. I couldn’t believe how they would exact such primi-tive and intolerant behaviors. As I’ve thought about it, how-ever, I came to realize that this
discreet divide isn’t a problem that is exclusive to Alabama, but applies to universities as a whole.
Please don’t get me mistaken; I’m not saying that our Greek system here at the University is forcibly segregated or even that admission to any given frater-nity or sorority has been denied based upon race, but rather that there is a type of segregation here that is more subtle and less well-defined.
When you think about it, how many fraternities and sororities on campus are truly mixed?
Illinois prides itself on being one of the most diverse univer-sities in the Big Ten, let alone in the entire country. This is a fantastic selling point to tell prospective students, especially ones like me who came from a very rural, non-diverse town.
But what I have come to learn on campus is that while this diversity is great and offers vast opportunities, it doesn’t necessarily mean that our cam-pus is also well-integrated.
As much as a student at the University of Illinois may not like to admit it, signs of a racial divide, though mostly uninten-tional, exist on our own campus.
Though some entities here on campus are diverse and con-tain members of many races, many communities and clubs I have encountered feature little to no integration. Though some,
especially those involved in these communities, are afraid to admit it, many fraternities and sororities and even clubs are identified by certain demo-graphics such as race, socioeco-nomic status and religion.
We stereotype certain sorori-ties with only taking in wealthy suburban girls. And we ste-reotype certain fraternities as being “black” or “Jewish.” It’s essentially self-segregation.
As long as no one is being denied admission based upon racial characteristics, I am not saying that this separation is an evil thing. I’m sure that there is a type of camaraderie and familiarity that comes with being in a frat with people of a similar background as you, and that should definitely be taken into account. It’s just interest-ing to note that, as a Univer-sity, integration seems to be the harder goal to fulfill than diversity.
But what good is diversity if it isn’t integrated?
My freshman year, in fact, a shooting happened at a frater-nity house on Lincoln Avenue. While most of us in my dorm were frightened that some-thing like that could happen so close to us, some people in my dorm said it was understandable because the shooting happened at a “black frat.”
That some of our students think it’s more likely for a
shooting to happen at a “black” house is both sad and obscene. Though this may have been an isolated incident, it is indicative of the way that many students on campus think, and may be a sign of a larger problem.
I understand the focus placed on those houses in Alabama was because their instances of segregation were passed down, unwritten policies and rules to be abided by, but people must also use the University of Ala-bama’s problems to show them-selves that perhaps this lack of integration is also problemat-ic. It is not only apparent, but also appalling to see this racial divide come to life in 2013, especially in an area as free-thinking and high-minded as a university.
Someday, I want my friends, children and peers to be able to go to a university where they don’t have to worry about pledg-ing into a fraternity that is labeled as black, white, Hispan-ic or Asian.
I’m not saying that we shouldn’t criticize those people at the University of Alabama; we absolutely should.
But what we should also do is use these horrific events as a reason to examine our own environment.

Really, just stop. It’s time to say bye to some of the popu-lar lingo and find more elo-
quent ways to get our feelings across, or just stop using them altogether. I have compiled a list of irritating sayings and slang terms that we really need to stop turning to.
No offense, but...This one really grinds my
gears. It’s so obvious that what-ever you’re going to say in the rest of this sentence is going to be offensive, so why even bother with this mini disclaimer? Is it really going to make things bet-ter? Is that really going to soft-en the blow of a sentiment like, “Oh, hey Billy. No offense, but I think your girlfriend is really fat and ugly, just thought you should know.” Yeah, I highly doubt it. Apart from the little plug being ineffective, it’s also annoying because if you’re going to be offensive, just own up to
it! If you want to insult Billy’s girlfriend that badly, just go for it. Don’t add your little, “No offense, but...” It’s not fooling anybody (especially not Billy or his girlfriend). Or here’s a bright idea, maybe stop saying inher-ently offensive things. I cannot even count how many times I’ve randomly had someone come up to me and say something like, “No offense, but (insert random racially offensive thought here),” and had the person pat my back and walk away nonchalantly like it was all OK. Don’t delude your-self into thinking this phrase works on anyone.
She’s basic, yo.I am not even sure how this
one cropped up. Urban Diction-ary claims the term “basic” refers to someone, usually the girl in question, who is “unso-phisticated.” OK, kind of makes sense, but come on, what does this really mean? A girl is sim-ple? Is she elementary? Are you referring to the acidity (or lack thereof) of her stomach? If she really is basic, then you might want to consider rushing her to the hospital because a basic stomach environment is not
healthy. But seriously, “basic” is grossly overused and shouldn’t be the ideal word choice when there are options like “uncul-tured” or “unsophisticated” in our lexicon. English is a rich and generative language; don’t sub-stitute its terms for random crap like “basic.”
Sorry I’m not sorry.Um hello, are you still a pre-
teen in middle school? Unless you are an angst ridden pre-pubescent child going through various identity changes, you have no reason to seriously use this term. This is probably one of the most pretentious phras-es out there. You’re about to be apologetic, but then you’re say-ing the complete opposite — you’re apologetic about not being apologetic which basically ren-ders the apology as useless, and the worst part is that that’s the point. It’s already obvious that you are not remorseful about whatever atrocity you commit-ted — apologizing about not car-ing just emphasizes that fact. Don’t be childish, either say sor-ry or don’t say anything.
“YOLO.”You only live once. Thank
you, Drake, for introducing this delightfully insightful acronym into all of our lives. People defi-nitely don’t overuse this one. I have never heard anyone declare “YOLO” right before gorging on dessert before dinner. And I have most definitely never heard of people utilizing “YOLO” to jus-tify risky behavior before either. Either way you use it, as some-one has aptly pointed out before, “YOLO” is actually pretty inac-curate. You live every day, but you only die once. So even if you are OK with using “YOLO” as a precursor to petty occurrences, or as an excuse to make a fool out of yourself, remember that you’re being grossly inaccurate and maybe that will convince you out of using it!
No offense, but if you use any of the above phrases or terms on a regular basis, then I’m prob-ably rolling my eyes at you. But, you know, I’m just a basic chick so that would be expected. Sorry I’m not sorry for ruining your day because “YOLO.”

WEDELIVER!
Chicago-born Chance The Rapper kicked off his Social Experiment tour at
Champaign’s Fluid Event Center, sponsored by the University’s chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi. All proceeds from the concert were donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation .
The 20-year-old rapper deliv-ered a venerated, hour-long per-formance to around 1,500 audi-ence members who fi lled more than half of the recently renovat-ed warehouse.
Audience members seemed jaded while listening to DJ Spinn who, along with DJ Rashad, opened for Chance. DJ Spinn played bass-heavy, chorus-pleasing hip-hop mash ups as the rambunctious, overeager crowd loosely chanted, “We want Chance! We want Chance!” DJ Spinn’s reverberating sounds of mainstream hip-hop muffl ed the crowd’s voices, and he held his ground and continued to encour-age the itching audience to be patient.
After his set, the lights dimmed as Chance’s “Good Ass Intro” blasted from the speak-ers. The crowd cheered. Chance jumped on stage, grabbed the microphone from the stand and hyped up the crowd to join him. Soon, a glowing fi eld of cellphone lights lit up the venue, trying to get the best picture of the rap-per. The wait was fi nally over.
Manically pacing from one
corner of the stage to the other, Chance transitioned to “Brain Cells,” a mellow, scatter-brained anthem that recants imag-es of a psychedelic trip laced with a heavy dose of childhood memories.
As the song ended, Chance disappeared from the stage, and a confused group of fans won-dered if that was the end of the performance.
Chance came back on the stage, having traded in his white marijuana-designed hoodie for a Chicago Black Hawks base-ball T-shirt. With a three-piece instrumental band surrounding the outer stage, the rapper stood behind his microphone stand and dedicated “Everybody’s Some-thing” to the ladies.
With his eyes closed and hand clasped tightly around the micro-phone, Chance slowly gyrated his hips and sang, “Everybody’s somebody’s everything/I know you’re right/Nobody’s noth-ing/That’s right.” It marked the beginning of a captivating, soul-driven performance that exem-plifi ed the rapper’s talent and artistry.
Chance continued to paint masterpieces of illusion and reality, injecting pieces of a chaotic yet endearing Chicago with “Pusha Man,” while stand-ing at the edge of the stage. He frequently made direct eye con-tact with the front-row audience members and stood still so that his fans could get the perfect photo.
Returning behind his micro-phone stand, Chance asked, “Sounds so beautiful, don’t you agree?”
Unexpectedly, the recogniz-
able Coldplay track, “Fix You,” began to play, and Chance began to sing. His distant, glossy-eyed stare into the spotlight was chill-ing as he continued to sing, “I will try to fi x you.”
Chance left the stage once more, leaving a starry-eyed crowd breathless.
He then reappeared, now shirtless, and started to per-form “Juice.” The rapper and the crowd’s excitement came back in full swing, and audience mem-bers rhythmically bobbed up and down, putting their hands in the air and singing the chorus. Two members of his crew joined Chance and leaped off the stage into the zealous crowd.
The two were thrown back onto the stage as Chance began to perform “Interlude (That’s Love),” a song during which his live band grabbed hold of the audience’s atten-tion and took the spotlight.
“Chain Smoker” was the closing song of the perfor-mance, which energized the crowd and left them wanting more, chanting, “One more song! One more song!”
With sweat dripping from his face, the gracious rapper came back to the stage, but he wasn’t alone. Chance and Vic Mensa closed out the show with “Cocoa Butter Kisses,” illustrating their dynamic, magnetic talents and clairvoy-ant support for one another — a sincere ending to the rap-per’s fi rst performance of his Social Experiment tour.

University graduate student Lei Jin had two reliable options for grocery shopping: County Market and Walmart. However, both were a hassle in different ways.
“County is expensive but close,” Jin said. “Walmart is the other way around.”
Traveling to and from Walmart could take up to two hours for Jin. He would have to take the 22 Illini bus to the Illini Union, and then connect to the 100 S Yellow bus, which would take him to the store.
However, Jin has found a way to help eliminate this time-consum-ing hassle for his fellow students. He offi cially launched KantWait, a start-up restaurant and grocery delivery company, on Aug. 26.
Since its creation, the service has partnered with Far East Grocery, Dunkin Donuts, Dairy Queen and Golden Harbor, and also delivers from Walmart and McDonald’s. KantWait also plans to add fresh produce and meats to its selection within the next week. According to TJ Wukitsch, senior vice president of KantWait, the company also hopes to partner with Taco Bell and Sitara Indian Restaurant and Lounge.
Orders must be placed online through KantWait’s website, mei-
ris.com. Prices are the same or similar to the restaurants’ or stores prices, with a small deliv-ery fee added. All charges must be paid when placing the order, and for orders of more than $50, there are no delivery charges.
According to Jin, what sets KantWait apart from other deliv-ery companies is its route-deliv-ery shuttle, which works like a bus for restaurant and gro-cery orders. When a customer orders from the KantWait web-site, order selections are limit-ed to what is listed. Customers then choose one of fi ve routes of varying times and services. Between these fi ve routes, there are twenty-two KantWait points in high-density populations. The customers then meet the driver at the nearest KantWait point along the route they selected to pick up their orders. Recently, the service added two new evening routes.
“It’s like you are letting your food take the bus instead of tak-ing a taxi,” Jin said. “So it’s very effi cient and cheap.”
Wukitsch drives the grocery route and said if he had to walk up to everyone’s door, each delivery would take him about fi ve min-utes per person. But with every-one coming to one spot along the route, it takes him 20 seconds or less to deliver each order.
“The reason we can charge peo-ple so little is because they do a little portion of the work for us, but it adds up to a lot,” Wukitsch said.
Neha Nigam, senior in LAS, said she has used the service twice because she does not have a car on campus.
“I think their prices are defi -nitely better than if I had a car and had to drive to these places.” Nigam said.
Once, Nigam mixed up the time she was supposed to pick up her order. Although it is KantWait policy to continue on to the next delivery if someone does not show up, they made a point to store the order and deliver it at a time she would be there.
“I love that their customer ser-vice is really, really great. They make a point of, if anything ever goes wrong, making sure they reimburse you in some way,” Nigam said.
According to Wukitsch, this kind of customer service is a pri-ority for KantWait.
“Everything is so impersonal now that there isn’t a whole lot of human aspect left ... and even though we’re a website, we still want to have that,” Wukitsch said.

The Illinois football team let another one slip through its hands. The Illini had nobody to blame but themselves for a 42-3 loss to Michigan State on Satur-day at Memorial Stadium.
Trailing the Spartans 7-3 just before halftime, Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook scrambled on a 3rd-and-25 and tossed the ball toward the end zone.
Illini defenders Jaylen Dun-lap and Eaton Spence both had a chance to pull in an intercep-tion, but the ball bounced off both their hands and fell right into the arms of Michigan State wide receiver Bennie Fowler in
the end zone.The Spartans score came with
nine seconds remaining in the half and sucked what momentum the Illini had right out of them.
“He threw the ball and I should have made a play on it that I wish I could get back,” freshman cor-nerback Dunlap said. “I had it, I had it. It was a lucky catch on his part. Luck fell his way.”
The Spartans (7-1, 4-0 Big Ten) came into Champaign on Homecoming weekend and hand-ed the Illini (3-4, 0-3) their third straight loss and 17th straight Big Ten loss. Illinois had chanc-es early but couldn’t make the most of them.
Kicker Taylor Zalewski got the Illini on the board fi rst with
a 31-yard fi eld goal on the game’s fi rst possession — after an Illi-nois touchdown was called back on a holding penalty. Michigan State appeared to be on the verge of taking the lead late in the fi rst quarter when Cook fumbled at the goal line and Illinois recov-ered in the end zone.
But the Illini gave the ball right back, fumbling it on a reverse play. The Spartans took advantage of a short fi eld and were able to punch it in for the go-ahead touchdown. The touchdown was the onset of 42 unanswered points for Michi-gan State.
Illinois’ best chance at the end zone came in the second quar-ter with the ball at the Michi-
gan State 1-yard line. The Illini failed to convert on third down and then gambled on fourth, going for the touchdown and failing to convert on a Jon Davis carry.
The Spartans took the ball at their own 1 and drove the length of the fi eld, capping off the drive with the touchdown that went through Dunlap’s fi ngers.
“The things that are contin-ually hurting us is ourselves,” head coach Tim Beckman said. “We had penalties on third down in that drive, but we end up beat-ing ourselves.”
The score put Michigan State up 14-3. With another touch-

Ryan LankfordLankford might have played his fi nal game in orange and blue. The
senior wide receiver had one catch for 22 yards but a fumble on a double reverse set up Michigan State’s fi rst touchdown. On the
play, he tried to lateral to wide receiver Martize Barr but was hit and the pitch went astray. Lankford injured his shoulder on the play and head coach Tim Beckman said the senior was “probably out for the
season.”
Justin DuVernoisThe punter boomed a 61-yard punt, his longest of the season, and
averaged 40.6 yards per attempt on the day. DuVernois had to deal with sizable wind gusts blowing to the south and countered
by adopting a rugby-style kick while going into the breeze. His net average of 39.0 yards per punt was thanks to the low hang time of
his punts and had only one of his fi ve punts actually returned.

Illinois falls to Michigan State, 42-3
Loss proves football team can’t compete
Offensive trick plays backfi re for Illinois

T ry as it might, Illinois football just couldn’t help itself from being Illinois
football. Neither defense nor offense could be commend-ed for what was an all-around atrocious performance as the Illini descended from medioc-rity to helplessness in a 42-3 loss to Michigan State.
It was a few plays here and there that slowly peeled the lid off this game and let all the ugliness out. The most memo-rable of these was a touchdown pass thrown by Michigan State’s Connor Cook with just seconds left in the fi rst half.
But the trouble didn’t start there. It started for Illinois when its fi rst drive was gutted by a holding penalty against cen-ter Alex Hill. The hold enabled and subsequently cost a touch-down pass to tight end Jon Davis. A Taylor Zalewski fi eld goal gave Illinois an advantage — and hope, as the team who’s scored fi rst has one each of Illinois’ fi rst six games — but left four points off the board that mattered at the time.
Tims Banks and Beckman, speaking of their defense, praised the effort in the fi rst half. Banks said his team had a good week of practice and had made strides. He thought his players showed some of that progress early.
In the fi rst half, perhaps for the fi rst time this year, it was Bill Cubit’s offense that left more to be desired.
A timely Michigan State fumble on the goal-line gave Illinois a chance to avoid going down and expand its lead. The fi rst quarter came to an end and allowed Illinois to fl ip sides of the fi eld and play with the wind at its back.
Cubit called for a double reverse, and like they have more and more lately, the trick plays worked against the Illini and not for them. Ryan Lank-ford took the handoff from Scheelhaase and, despite Mich-igan State busting through the line and effectively blowing up the play, pitched it back to Martize Barr, who couldn’t
handle it. Michigan State recovered.
Later in the second quar-ter, Illinois drove on Michigan State again, getting the ball eventually to the 1-yard line. Aaron Bailey, goal-line bruiser extraordinaire, was not insert-ed. Donovonn Young, who has recently been relegated to sec-ond string and short-yardage situations, was not inserted (he wouldn’t play all game). Two runs later, Illinois has giv-en the ball back to Michigan State.
Enter the 99-yard drive and the soul-crushing, double-tipped, third-and-25 touchdown pass.
Fade to black for both the fi rst half and Illinois’ sense of
optimism.Lankford’s
mistake would be his last of the day, as he was chewed out by Cubit before head-ing to the
locker room with an injury that Beckman later said was likely the end of his season. He is a senior.
Beckman emphasized posi-tivity in the postgame press conference. He insisted that there were positives to draw from the game. He broke the news on Lankford and said Lank would continue to lead the team “by not playing.” Banks was similar. He empha-sized the good and acknowl-edged without dwelling on the bad.
The players have to temper their expectations and accept their fate. They are not part of a top Big Ten program. They are the team that’s fi ghting to prove it belongs after losing its last 17 conference games.
It’s time to put away the notion that this team is a fringe competitor in the con-ference. Losing to Nebraska and Wisconsin happens. Losing to Michigan State happens, too, but not in the capacity with which it just did Saturday in front of 45,000-plus fans. Not unless your team has deep-seeded problems it needs to overcome.
Effort, competitiveness, tackling, covering receivers, shedding blocks in the trench-es — these are elementary defensive problems to have. On offense, Cubit relies upon trick plays because he doesn’t

Illinois solidifi ed itself as an underdog
from here on out.
BY STEPHEN BOURBONSTAFF WRITER
Trick plays have been a staple of Bill Cubit’s offense. The offen-sive coordinator implements gad-get and trick plays to open up a defense. Early in the 2013 season, such plays elicited audible “oohs” from the crowd as yards piled up behind the fl ash and misdirection.
But during the Illini’s (3-4, 0-3 Big Ten) three-game losing streak, the explosive trick plays have blown up in Illinois’ face, as they did twice in a 42-3 loss to
Michigan State on Saturday.For the second consecutive
week, the Illini fumbled a double reverse which immediately led to a short fi eld and quick touchdown for the opponent.
Last Saturday against Wiscon-sin, quarterbacks Nathan Scheel-haase and Aaron Bailey couldn’t hook up on the lateral, but this week wide receivers Ryan Lank-ford and Martize Barr were the culprits. Lankford couldn’t get a clean pitch away when he was hit by Shilique Calhoun and Barr
tried to scoop up the ball instead of falling on it before it was recov-ered by the Spartans’ Marcus Rush at the Illinois 23-yard line.
“The thing that is a little dis-turbing is that we practice it all week, walk through it a lot and they lined up wrong,” Cubit said of the botched reverse. “We got to line up fi rst and do it right and then take care of the ball.”
The Illini dialed up the dou-ble reverse four plays after its defense had forced its sixth turn-over of the season — a fumble
recovery in the end zone — and the ensuing Spartan touchdown brought the score to 7-3.
To cap it all off, Lankford injured his shoulder on the play and head coach Tim Beckman said the senior is “probably out for the season.”
“We gave the game away,” wide receiver Spencer Harris said. “We always shoot ourselves in the foot. The play is there and someone doesn’t make the play or there’s

It wasn’t pretty early and didn’t mat-ter in anyone’s standings, but the Illi-nois basketball team beat McKendree 101-66 in an exhibition game at State Farm Center on Thursday night. The Illini overcame a slow start, trailing the Division-II Bearcats by as many as 11 in the first half.
But an 11-3 run late in the first half pulled the Illini even at 35-35. They took the lead half a minute later at 39-37 and never looked back. Point guard Tracy Abrams led Illinois with 16 points and freshman guard Jaylon Tate added 13.
“Nobody wants to get down 11,” head coach John Groce said. “But I really was curious to see — and I didn’t call a timeout on purpose — I wanted to see if they could fight their way through it and they did. I thought they showed great poise. We didn’t panic, we didn’t flinch, we hung in there and stayed the course.”
Abrams gave Illini fans a scare on the team’s first defensive possession when he crumpled to the floor after a McK-endree basket. He came up limping, favoring his left ankle, and was taken to the locker room to get checked out by the medical staff. But he returned not long after and checked right back into the game.
The injury didn’t appear to faze him the rest of the game.
“I just tweaked my ankle a little bit,” Abrams said. “I retaped and was just thinking: ‘I’ve got to find a way to help my team out.’ We pulled it together as a group, and we looked pretty good.”
Illinois went into halftime with a 47-39 lead. The game wasn’t much of a contest in the second half.
It gave Illini nation its first glimpse of the new-look Illini. Groce’s starting lineup consisted of veterans Abrams, Joseph Bertrand and Nnanna Egwu, along with transfers Rayvonte Rice and Jon Ekey.
Rice also scored 13 points, 10 of them in the first half, and Ekey added anoth-er 12.
All five Illinois freshmen saw playing time. Tate saw the most of any of them, backing up Abrams at point guard. He led the team with 25 minutes played and scored six of his 13 points from the free throw line.
“He’s got an ability to lead and com-municate,” Groce said of Tate. “I noticed that watching him prior to him coming. He loves to learn, (he’s a) stu-dent of the game, he has accepted his role. Sometimes it’s difficult for a fresh-man to do that.”
McKendree shooting guard Clinton
Happe led the Bearcats with 15 points on 3-for-6 shooting from 3-point range. Guard Jeremy Price put in another 12, but it wasn’t enough. Illinois outscored McKendree 54-27 in the second half and outrebounded the Bearcats 46-29 overall.
Groce said his squad was better than
it was a week ago during the Orange and Blue scrimmage and, despite the slow start, the improvement showed on the court. Illinois will play its sec-ond exhibition game on Nov. 3 against Northwood University.
“Now we’ve got work to do between now and a week from Sunday,” Groce
said. “We’ve got time to practice, put some new things in and brush up on the things that we need to improve upon from tonight’s game.”

Seven players debuted for the Illi-nois men’s basketball team against Division-II McKendree on Thurs-
day. From the get-go, their impact to the team was apparent.
Transfers Jon Ekey and Rayvonte Rice started the game for the Illini and helped Illinois get out of an early funk (Illinois was down by as many as 11 in
the first half). Ekey draws comparisons to Tyler Griffey, but the ISU transfer has more athleticism and physicality than the departed senior forward.
Ekey crashed the boards, finishing with six rebounds and a team-high four offensive rebounds. He also effectively set numerous high screens while leaking out to the perimeter, where he shot 1-for-3 from behind the arc. Ekey has graded out as the best player on Illinois during practice so far and he showed why on Thursday, finishing with 12 points while shooting 5-for-7 from the field.
When Illinois wasn’t clicking, Rice helped stabilize the offense. Rice excels
at creating his own shot near the rim, using his strength to fend off players at the basket. His crossovers received plenty of oohs and ahs from the State Farm Center crowd on Thursday. Rice uses those moves to draw fouls as he led the team with eight free throw attempts. There wasn’t a player on McKendree that could keep Rice in front of him.
The freshmen also put on a show Thursday. At one point Groce put out a lineup including freshmen Jaylon Tate, Kendrick Nunn, Malcolm Hill and Mav-erick Morgan, and it actually turned out to be effective. The ball was moving quicker than any other rotation the Illini
used against McKendree. The adren-aline of playing in their first games could’ve been a factor, but Groce’s fast-paced lineup felt even quicker with the freshmen on the floor.
Tate’s Simeon teammate, Nunn, had the play of the game when he threw down a left-handed dunk on a fast break. Morgan, Colbert and Hill also had impressive debuts, as the trio combined to shoot 10-of-17 from the floor.
Dealing with the influx of new players is going to be Groce’s biggest challenge during the early going of this season. There isn’t a Brandon Paul or D.J. Rich-ardson on this year’s team to rely on to
make Groce’s job any easier. It’s going to be a process before the team builds chemistry, as displayed by an 8-19 defi-cit out of the gate against McKendree.
Joseph Bertrand, Tracy Abrams and Nnanna Egwu bring experience to this young Illini squad, but they aren’t going to be able to carry the team.
The newcomers are going to have to step up if Illinois’ going to succeed this season, and on Thursday they showed they may just have what it takes.

After losing to No. 7 Michi-gan, the Illinois soccer team rebounded with a win over Mich-igan State to maintain its Big Ten tournament hopes.
Heading into the weekend, The Illini (9-7-2, 4-5-1 Big Ten) need-ed three wins in its final three games to guarantee a spot in the Big Ten Tournament. Head coach Janet Rayfield emphasized the importance of the team’s control of its destiny. The windy Friday night contest saw close competition from Michigan and Illinois as the teams exchanged chances throughout the game.
The Wolverines’ trio of Meghan Toohey, Madisson Lew-is and Tori McCombs was a con-stant thorn in Illinois defense’s side as Michigan’s offense used its speed often. Lewis broke the deadlock in the 24th minute and a professional foul of the speedy Toohey was the template for Michigan’s second, 12 minutes later.
The difference was the Wol-verines’ top-ranked defense as the nation’s best backline held the Illini scoreless. Michigan’s high defensive line congested the center of the field and many of Illinois’ shots came from long range.
“We played great everywhere else on the field (except in front of the goal),” forward Janelle Flaws said. “Our movement off the ball and the chances we cre-ated were great but just didn’t get the finishing part.”
The 2-0 loss left Illinois with 10 points in ninth position, one outside the final qualification spot.
Sunday was the final regular season home game for six Illi-nois seniors. After seven games on the sideline, captain Vanes-sa DiBernardo joined fellow seniors Kassidy Brown, Megan Pawloski, Christina Farrell, Kristen Giermann and Lauren Parkin in the starting lineup.
“It was an emotional day and everyone said: ‘Play for the seniors, play for each oth-er.’ And I think everyone defi-nitely did that (Sunday),” said junior midfielder Allie Osoba, a member of the 2010 matricu-lation class.
The Illini began the game with the large share of pos-session, as the Spartans were content to play conservative-ly. Michigan State’s counterat-tacking game plan almost paid dividends as the best chance of the half fell to its forward Paige Wester. As a cross from the right flank sailed over Illinois
goalie Claire Wheatley’s head, Wester ran on to head the ball at an empty net, but pressure from Illinois’ Farrell sent the head-er wide of the left upright post.
Both sides created better chances after the half, but nei-ther team was able to put the ball in the net until the 79th minute. Pawloski lined up for one of her numerous flip throws of the game, which the Spartans had trouble clearing as they had all afternoon. Two defenders misjudged the throw and as the ball bounced over their heads, Osoba stole in behind them to slam home her fifth goal of the season.
The tally by the team’s sec-ond top scorer was followed by an effort from the NCAA’s scor-ers chart leader, Flaws, striking a 22-yard free kick into the top right corner of the MSU goal to seal the win.
The goal was Flaws’ 19th of the season, breaking the Illinois record Emily Brown set in 1999.
The defensive fortitude of both sides was the story of the day with both sides held score-less for nearly 80 minutes, but one team’s backline was able to hold out longer than the other’s and Rayfield knows the reason why.
“We talk about defense being
the back four and a goalkeeper, today that defense was our mid-field and forwards doing a lot to deny service,” Rayfield said.
After losing their last two games with a combined 7-0, Illi-nois’ high-powered offense and improving defense appeared to
have hit a wall. With the last game of the regular season at Minnesota coming up and a playoff berth looming, the team is hoping that it has found its footing at the right time.
“This defense is maturing,” Rayfield said. “It’s a good time
for that because we certainly need to go into Minnesota with some confidence in our defense and in our attack.”

For the second game in a row, the Illinois volleyball took the first two sets of the match. This time, though, the Illini didn’t let their opponent back into the game, rolling to a 3-1 road vic-tory against No. 16 Wisconsin.
Execution has been a word that has summed up the Illi-ni’s season, more or less, and Illinois did just that in Madi-son, Wis., on Sunday, winning by scores of 25-22, 28-26, 10-25, 25-22. The win evens the Illi-ni’s record in conference play at 5-5, but the team still sits at 9-11
overall. The Badgers fall to 6-4 in the Big Ten and 17-5 overall.
“It was a good win against a very good team in a tough envi-ronment to play,” head coach Kevin Hambly said. “I thought we were tough. ... It was an important victory for us.”
The victory comes just four days after from a collapse at Northwestern in which Illinois took the first two sets of the match only to give away the next three. After taking the first two sets against Wisconsin, the Illi-ni came out of the break strug-gling to score.
“We’re not afraid to men-
tion what happened against Northwestern,” sophomore set-ter Alexis Viliunas said of the team’s mindset going into the fourth set at Wisconsin. “We talked about protecting each other, protecting our school and just protecting Illinois volley-ball. We went into the fourth set with a fighting mentality, and I think it really helped us.”
Viliunas and junior outside hitter Liz McMahon stood out for the Illini. McMahon led the match with 20 kills on 40 attempts to hit .375 on the day. She has had back-to-back games with at least 20 kills, as she
reached 21 against Northwest-ern. Viliunas turned in a com-plete performance, registering 44 assists and a career-high 20 digs to go along with three kills.
“(Viliunas) had one of her bet-ter matches for sure,” Hambly said. “She did a nice job of exe-cuting the game plan, attack-ing people the way we wanted to. I thought she played phys-ical at the net, often blocking and attacking. She had 20 digs, and I thought she made some nice plays.”
Despite besting the Illini in kills (59-57), attempts (174-162) and hitting percentage (.218-
.204), the Badgers could not crack the Illinois defense in key moments. Viliunas and Hambly also said the team’s serve-pass performance also contributed to the win.
“We served really aggressive-ly, we were able to get them out of system,” Viliunas said. “Our passing was good, I was able to set the ball around and get it to whoever I wanted to, so I was happy with it, and I think every-one else was, too.”
The midway point of confer-ence play also marks a change in the schedule for Illinois. After beginning the season with
games strictly on the weekends, the Illini finished their first of four weeks with a midweek match. While Hambly and Vili-unas said the team was indif-ferent to the change, the gap in between matches allows Illinois to prepare one match at a time. With more time to prepare, the Illini may finally be able to win consecutive matches and get back to .500 for the first time since early September in the team’s bid for a NCAA tourna-ment berth.

an offside penalty. There’s always something.”
The Illini had a chance on to go up 7-0 on their opening drive of the game, but a holding penalty on center Alex Hill negated a touch-down. Illinois eventually settled for a 31-yard field goal.
Despite the lack of success over the past few weeks with trick plays, Cubit was not back-ing off his philosophy of creative play-calling.
“We’re not going to be able to move the ball just playing base offense,” Cubit said. “We’re just not at that point.”
A second trick play came in the second quarter with first and goal from the 5-yard line, and the Illini looking to take the lead. A jetting wide receiver took a handoff and quickly gave it back to Ferguson hoping to misdirect the defense, but the running back was hit in the backfield for a four-yard loss.
The Illini would eventually be stopped from the 1-yard line on
consecutive plays, and when the Spartans went 99 yards back the other way right before halftime, the momentum was firmly on the their side.
After two drives deep into Mich-igan State territory, the Illinois offense couldn’t move the ball or stay on the field. The unit finished with 128 total yards and only 12:56 of possession time in the final 45 minutes of the game. The Illini set season-lows in passing yards, rushing yards, total offense and points against versus the Spartans.
The Illini travel next week to Penn State, which had the 16th-best defense in the country enter-ing Saturday’s games.
“Ultimately, we have to stop feeling sorry for ourselves,” Scheelhaase said. “No one else is going to feel sorry for us. We’re no longer a young or inexperienced team, we’ve played seven games. Honestly, no one really cares. Penn State doesn’t really care how young or inexperienced we are.”

down on the first possession of the second half, the Spartans would never look back. Cook finished 15-for-16 passing with 208 yards and three touchdowns. Running back Jeremy Langford rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns.
The Spartans offense finished 14-for-16 on third-down conver-sions. One of the two failed con-versions was the quarterback kneel to end the game.
“We had chances to get off the field on third down,” said line-backer Mason Monheim, who finished with a team-leading 14 tackles. “We just didn’t make that play. I’m not going to pin-point it on one thing or another, we just didn’t make that play.”
Lankford ‘probably out for the season’
Illini head coach Tim Beck-man said wide receiver Ryan Lankford is likely lost for the season after injuring his shoul-der on a failed reverse play in the second quarter against Michi-gan State at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
“Honestly, I think he’s prob-ably out for the season,” Beck-man said in his postgame news conference. “We’re not for sure right now. But to be honest with you, after seeing it, he’s probably gone for the year.”
Official word likely won’t come until Beckman’s weekly news conference on Monday. Lankford is second on the team with 308 receiving yards on 15 catches. He has one receiving touchdown and another one rushing.
Quarterback Nathan Scheel-haase hadn’t heard the news about his best deep-ball threat until the media asked him about it.
“Yeah, that’s news to me. I didn’t know that,” Scheelhaase said. “So, um, next man up. I think our receiver group is as deep as it gets. It’s definitely a next-man-up mentality. We’ve got to get guys healthy, got to get Steve Hull back in there.”
Hull did not play against Mich-igan State after suffering a head injury against Wisconsin a week ago. The Illini will need his pres-ence if Lankford is ruled out for the season.

believe the team can move the ball in its base offense.
Illinois solidified itself as an underdog from here on out. It came clean as a conference bot-tom-feeder. It can compete with better teams in the conference, but only in the right circum-stances, and even then, for how long?
In the worst of ways, Illinois football came home Saturday.
The goals from here on out have to change, and the focus has to be improvement. No room to worry about a bowl game. Penn State looms in a week, and Illi-nois will have to go to a place where a winning culture serves as a foundation for a success-ful program, which for Illinois is about as far from home as it gets.

Illini split series against LindenwoodBRENTON TSE PHOTO EDITOR
Illinois’ Jon Langan controls the puck during the game against Lindenwood on Saturday. The Illini lost 6-3.
Cross-country dominates at Illini Open

OFFENSEFROM 1B
SILLFROM 1B
BY SEAN NEUMANNSTAFF WRITER
When it looked like the Illini were about to be out of a rut, they fell right back into it.
The Illini hockey team (7-6-1) won in dramatic fashion Friday night, scoring two late third peri-od goals to defeat Lindenwood (4-5-1) 3-2 in overtime, but famil-iar penalty-killing troubles led Illinois to a 6-3 loss on Saturday.
It looked as if the team’s sea-son was about to take a dramatic shift in the right direction when Illini captain Austin Bostock net-ted a game-tying goal late in the third and then scored just 31 sec-onds into overtime Friday night to snap the team’s six-game los-ing streak.
The Big Pond quickly took on a playoff-like atmosphere after Bostock banked a shot in off of Lindenwood goalten-der Linus Ahgren’s stick from behind the net and the euphoric
dog pile which ensued after the senior’s overtime game-winner was everything the Illini’s sea-son was poised to be just two months ago.
But while the come-from-behind victory erased a six-game losing streak, it didn’t erase the problems that have plagued Illi-nois throughout the season.
The Illini allowed three power play goals Saturday night, while even giving up a shorthanded goal to Lindenwood sophomore Stephen Bopp on a five-minute major power play.
Trailing by three goals, the power play provided the Illini an opportunity to get back in the game, since it was a major pen-alty and if they scored, the Lin-denwood player would not have been let out of the penalty box.
“We had decent traffic tonight on the power play and got a lot of good looks, but we just need to produce,” head coach Nick Fab-
brini said after Saturday night’s game, nearly at a loss for words. “Getting good looks is great, but it only takes you so far. It doesn’t win you games.”
Fabbrini said the team needs to improve on finishing and put-ting the puck in the net, a prob-lem exacerbated by Linden-wood defenders’ shot blocking throughout the weekend.
The Illini scored six goals this weekend, one more than they had throughout their six-game losing streak. They also had 82 shots between both games against Lin-denwood, after averaging just 21.16 shots per game during the losing streak.
Illinois has talked about put-ting pucks in the net in order to allow shots to go in through traf-fic or cause rebound opportuni-ties, much like Bostock’s game-tying goal that deflected in from behind the net on Friday night.
Despite Illinois’ continued
trouble on the penalty kill, the team looked refreshed with an offense that finally started pro-ducing goals this weekend.
Junior Jon Langan, who scored the first Illini goal Friday night, said the team can be a national contender if it continues to play like it did during its 3-2 overtime victory, while Fabbrini said he could feel a collective weight lift off the team’s shoulders after scoring three goals in just over eight minutes.
The Illini’s 3-2 overtime victo-ry Friday night flashed a glimpse of what the team can do when in full-stride, a potential Bostock recognizes.
“That’s the team we want to be,” Bostock said. “That’s the team we knew we were going to be coming into this season.”

The Illinois men’s cross-coun-try team rounded out the regu-lar season by hosting the Illini Open on Friday. Illini sophomore Sam Telfer finished second over-all with a time of 25 minutes, 19 seconds. Jordan Hebert of Illi-nois, running unattached, won the race with a time of 24:57.
Hebert paced a field of 35, including teams from Eastern Illinois, Loyola and Bradley as well as 10 unattached runners, at the UI Arboretum.
The Illinois team consisted of only Telfer, sophomore Jereme Atchison and freshman Ryan Burgoon. Atchison finished fifth overall with a time of 25:37, while Burgoon took eighth with
a time of 25:57. “I was really excited with how
we ran today,” head coach Jake Stewart said. “The first five fin-ishers are guys that are affili-ated with the team. We had a really good day.”
Unattached runners Joe Cow-lin (25:24) and Alex Gold (25:31) finished third and fourth, respec-tively, giving Illinois runners a sweep of the top five.
Alex Notton took 13th with a time of 26:16. Trevor Kuehr fin-ished 18th with a time of 26:33, nearly placing every Illinois runner in the top half of the field. Both Notton and Kuehr ran unattached.
“Today I was trying to take some guys through at a certain pace,” said Hebert, a junior on
the track team who is redshirt-ing for cross-country this fall. “My main focus was to try to get them through the race, but you’ve always got to compete, whether it’s against the person ahead of you or the time.”
Hebert has been running unat-tached in races for Illinois this season in preparation for track and field season.
“For me, it’s different,” Hebert said. “This is the last time I’m running before track season, and that’s when it’s really going to count.”
Since Friday marked the end of the regular season, most of the Illinois cross-country team will not run competitively again until this spring. Twelve mem-bers of the cross-country team
are also on the track and field roster.
“I think the younger guys probably ran with a little more urgency today, knowing that now we go back into training for a few months before the indoor track season starts,” Stewart said. “I think they want to use the momentum of running well here going into indoors and outdoors.”
For the members of the post-season team, the real competi-tion will start this weekend at the Big Ten Championships in West Lafayette, Ind., on Nov. 3. The NCAA Midwest regional will be run on Nov. 15.
