DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORTGov. Pat Quinn ordered the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to take immediate
action keeping polychlorinated biphenyl waste out of Clinton Landfill today.Clinton Landfill is situated above a portion of the Mahomet Aquifer, a water source for
about 750,000 people in East Central Illinois, which led to concerns when Peoria Waste Disposal requested that the Environmental Protection Agency permit the dumping of polychlorinated biphenyl, or PCB, waste at the landfill.
“Hundreds of thousands of Illinois residents can look back on this as the day we protected their clean drinking water source,” Governor Quinn said. “PCBs have no place in or near the drinking water of any community in our state. That is why I directed the EPA to take immediate action and protect the water supply for families throughout central Illinois.”
The governor’s order is based on a response received by the IEPA from the DeWitt County Board on Friday.
Illinois law allows the IEPA to modify a landfill permit upon discovery that a decision was made using false or misleading information. The IEPA will issue a modified permit for Clinton Landfill later this week.
Federally regulated concentrations of PCB waste had never been authorized locally at Clinton Landfill, as the DeWitt County Board stated in a letter to the IEPA that it did not authorize disposal of PCBs at the landfill in its Sept. 12, 2002 sitting approval.
Further, in both the location application and a public hearing on the request for local approval in 2002, representatives of Peoria Disposal Company represented to the county
board that the Clinton Landfill would not accept PCB waste as federally regulated concentrations.
The federal EPA is still considering the landfill’s request, but Quinn sent a letter to the agency in May urging the administration to deny Peoria Disposal Company’s request for federal authorization to dispose of toxic waste in the landfill.

Some students work summer jobs, some take summer classes and some land internships with Sen. Dick Durbin in Washington, D.C. Leah Malkovich, Mitch Dickey and Nadia Gonzalez are three of those students.
Malkovich is an Urbana native and junior in political science at the University of Wisconsin. One of her fellow classmates at University High School in Urbana had interned with Durbin before, and hearing about his experience made her want to apply too.
After her application was accepted, Malkovich made the trip to the nation’s capitol, where she and other interns spent seven weeks performing tasks like delivering mail, giving tours of the capitol to constituents (which Malkovich stated was her favorite part of the work she did as an intern), answering phones, doing research for legislative aids and legislative correspondents, and responding to constituent letters.
“Constituents would send in letters about really, really specific issues, like they’re really concerned about this one article in an entire bill, so then it’s our job to respond directly to their concern,” Malkovich said. “So I did stuff on labor, education, health care ... it’s our job to educate ourselves on
that issue, and then also to respond.”Malkovich said the interning experience
has piqued her interest in returning to D.C., where she would like to work as a legislative correspondent or aid. She is considering either that option or becoming a professor.
“The most rewarding part was being (in D.C.) in general ... being able to just experience everything,” Malkovich said. “I met a lot of really cool people. Everyone in my office was awesome; the interns were really cool. And making the connections too — it’s not like I’m going to be able to just get a job, but I will have people that I can talk to and ask for advice.”
Malkovich also worked with two University students — Dickey and Gonzalez.
Dickey, student body president and a junior in political science and economics, recalls when he and other interns sat with Durbin for an hour to talk with him.
“He’s a really nice guy,” Dickey said. “He flows very well in conversation. He’s very good on his feet with questions and coming up with responses to them. For being as busy as he is, he’s kept his grounds pretty well, I think.”
Sophomore in political science Gonzalez, who is interested in going into law, said the internship provided her an opportunity to “see thing in action from one of my favorite
cities in the country” and helped her realize that the legal process is something she might be interested in.
She said it also provided her with a chance to speak with staff members who had recently finished college and ask them about their own experiences and how they got to where they are.
Dickey said the most rewarding part was the opportunity in itself.
“You do things that aren’t the most
glamorous,” he said. “But the fact that you’re walking through the capitol building with an intern badge that essentially lets you go anywhere in the capitol building you want and the fact that you’re working with some of the top experts in their fields ... the fact that you’re working with those type of people is probably the most impactful thing.”

Construction has covered a majority of Campustown this summer, resulting in a loss of customers and summer service for local businesses.
Fat Sandwich Company, located on campus at 502 E. John St., Champaign, is one of the businesses feeling the effects of the ongoing summer construction.
Michael Campbell, manager of Fat Sandwich Company, said construction has scared people away from coming to the restaurant this summer.
“The construction has slowed things down quite a bit,” Campbell said in an email. “We’ve seen about half the business this summer and that is with longer hours. The roads being closed and people having to drive in circles has really scared the townies away this summer.”
Although regular customers have been hesitant to eat at the restaurant, Campbell said construction workers give Fat Sandwich a bit of business each week.
“I love the guys that come in from the construction companies but it costs a lot to eat out every day, so we only see the groups of them once a week,” Campbell said. “The amount of workers does not make up for the lack of people from around the area.”
Construction has been spread out across campus for weeks, causing several street and sidewalk closures. Road construction could be seen at the intersection of Gregory Drive and Sixth Street from mid-May to mid-July, which then moved north to Armory Avenue and Sixth Street.
According to Erin Lippitz, executive director of the Champaign Center Partnership, local apartment companies have also contributed to the ongoing construction around campus.
JSM Apartments is continuing construction at the intersection of Sixth and Healey streets. The company is building a new set of apartments, called Campus Center, that will have apartments for lease in August 2015.
Lippitz also said that Bankier Apartments is responsible for ongoing construction located at Sixth and Green streets, with a new set of apartments being built there as well.
Apartment construction happening at Fourth and Green streets has also blocked off a portion of Fourth Street, creating some inconvenience for those heading south into campus.

Recent University graduate Vishnu Kamalnath was elevat-ed in mid-July to senior member for the Institute of Electri-cal and Electronics Engineers, or IEEE — a rank that only 8 percent of IEEE members receive.
IEEE, which has approximately 400,000 members, is one of the most prestigious organizations for electrical, elec-tronic and computer engineers in the world.
To become a senior member, a candidate must have at least 10 years of professional experience and five years of significant performance.
Twenty-four-year-old Kamalnath, who is originally from Dubai, U.A.E., met this requirement by means of a company he started with a group of friends when he was 14 years old called Lindowtech, which provides people and companies
with cost effective and proven IT technologies to increase business value.
“It’s actually made me one of the world’s youngest senior members,” Kamalnath said.
Kamalnath earned his undergraduate degree in electri-cal engineering and his master’s in computer science from the University and is now working for Microsoft as a soft-ware engineer.
“Vishnu is a very self-driving, super smart and dedi-cated individual,” said Dongmei Gui, Vishnu’s manager at Microsoft, in an email. “He came to my team as a strong hire and proved himself as a new shining star shortly after joining the team.”
Computer science professor Paris Smaragdis, also Kamal-nath’s adviser for his master’s thesis and a fellow IEEE senior member, was one of his three nominators for the
designation of senior member.“Vishnu is extraordinarily driven, and has been very
active on a number of fronts,” Smaragdis said in an email. “Aside from his work here at Illinois, he has had an entre-preneurial presence that spans a while back, something that is also a factor of growing significance.”
Professor Gary Eden, who taught Kamalnath in an elec-trical engineering undergraduate course, is an IEEE fel-low, a rank higher than senior member, and was another of Kamalnath’s nominators.
“He’s a fine young man, very smart,” Eden said. “He’s what we used to call a go-getter, and I mean that in the best sense of the word. He’s just a young man of vision — I think that we’re going to hear a lot more about him in the future.”

YANGON, Myanmar — One of the world’s most challenging and deadly races is underway in the forests of this turbulent country.
A new strain of drug-resistant malaria has emerged in Myanmar just as the country is emerging from a half-century of isolation, increasing the risk that the lethal scourge will spread into India and Africa.
If the strain reaches other regions, it could undo huge gains made over the past decade — at a cost of billions — to corral the illness.
Malaria mortality has fallen 42 percent worldwide since 2000, but the disease continues to sick-en more than 200 million people and kill 500,000 children a year, or about one every minute of every day, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Fighting malaria has been a Sisyphean task over the past cen-tury. Major attempts to eradicate the disease — caused by a para-site transmitted by a particular mosquito species — failed in part because it’s a moving target that evolves and develops resistance to drugs and pesticides.
Yet the latest push has brought eradication in sight, at least for some experts and for the Seattle-based Bill & Melinda Gates Foun-dation. Eliminating the disease is one of the most ambitious projects the world’s largest philanthropy has undertaken.
With more than $2 billion com-mitted, the foundation is the lead-ing private supporter of research into new treatments, vaccines, diagnostic tools, disease mapping and other weapons to fi ght malaria.
This research should help the foundation press the global com-munity for a renewed attack that could begin about 2020, putting to use new drugs now in the pipeline.
As long as the drug-resistant strain spreading in the forests of Myanmar can be contained, that is.
“Myanmar is the linchpin coun-try, really,” said Tom Kanyok, a former WHO scientist and now
the foundation’s senior malaria program offi cer for the Greater Mekong region, which includes Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
This comes as Myanmar — for-merly called Burma — emerg-es from 50 years of repression, moves toward a democratic state and opens to trade, tourism and foreign investors.
“People are fl ooding in,” Kan-yok said. “All the business-class seats are full and the other seats are full of tourists wanting to go see the country. After the open-ing up of the country it’s just a sea change.”
Myanmar borders 40 percent of the world’s population, with China to the north, Thailand and Laos to the east and India and Bangladesh to the west.
Being a crossroads may help the country catch up to the economic growth that Vietnam and Thai-land have seen, but it also positions Myanmar to export drug-resistant malaria.
After decades of spending lit-tle on health care, the country is especially hard hit by the disease. Myanmar accounts for nearly 80 percent of malaria cases and 75 percent of malaria deaths in the Mekong region, according to a 2012 assessment funded by the Gates Foundation and Australia.
Overall, more than 40 million of Myanmar’s about 60 million peo-ple live in malaria-endemic areas, according to WHO.
As the economy grows, people may travel and unwittingly bring malaria parasites along. One car-rier may infect 100 others, who may infect 1,000 others.
Migrants may follow the path of Than Toe of Yangon. As a teen, he worked in the fi shing indus-try along the border with Thai-land, where drug resistance is concentrated.
Toe was sickened by malaria and treated with a cheap medi-cine. Later he moved to the city to drive a cab and start a market-ing business.
Timing was on his side. Toe, now 43, was infected before the resistant strain emerged. His
treatment worked and he’s now raising three girls in the city.
Hard-won gains at risk Myan-mar’s government appears to be moving in the right direction as it builds up a health care system. It’s working with WHO, the Gates Foundation and other groups to tackle malaria.
“From our region we’re now trying to scale up our activities — all our activities,” said Dr. Thaung Hlaing, deputy director of the Ministry of Health’s Nation-al Malaria Control Programme.
Hlaing said the plan is to con-tain the resistant strain and elim-inate it before it spreads west to India and then to Africa, creating “more disaster.”
“This is not about a Myanmar problem; this is a global concern,” he said.
The risk that this strain of malaria could spread and reverse hard-fought gains isn’t hypotheti-cal. It happened before with trag-ic results.
Eradication was in sight in the 1950s and succeeded in the U.S. and southern Europe.
But the effort faltered because of funding shortfalls, war, scat-tershot participation — and the emergence in the 1960s of a drug-resistant strain in Southeast Asia. It reached India and Africa, where severe cases and deaths doubled or tripled in some countries.
Research in China led to arte-misinin, a derivative of wormwood and traditional herbal treatment. It took years for this medicine to emerge from China, and it wasn’t widely used until after 2000.
Then it became a key part of a renewed attack on malaria fund-
ed largely by the Global Fund, a coalition of governments and pri-vate funders to which the Gate-ses have given $1.4 billion. Over the past decade, this attack saved more than 3 million lives.
“Now it’s such a magical drug we’re doing everything we can to avoid drug-resistance,” Bill Gates said at an April health product forum in Seattle. “We’re super dependent on it.”
The Gates Foundation is test-ing mass drug administration in border areas and hopes to treat 250,000 people by 2016.
“There’s a little bit (of) unhap-piness or misunderstanding about this with the national program, but we were not consulted by anyone,” Gawrie said.
The foundation’s Kanyok said he meets regularly with the health ministry and they have a good relationship. In Myanmar, it’s deferring to the government, he said.
“It’s a health and humanitarian issue that everyone can grab on to because people see the results of malaria in the country,” he said.
It’s largely a question of timing, deciding how much longer new approaches should be researched versus using them sooner, accord-ing to Chris White, a British trop-ical-medicine expert in Yangon.
White is senior malaria techni-cal adviser with Population Ser-vices International (PSI), a Wash-ington, D.C.-based charity.
Myanmar’s government, he said, is right to want evidence before plunging ahead, yet it’s also time to “get very aggressive in our control efforts” and “possibly tak-ing some risks.”

OPINIONS6MONDAY
W inston Churchill was famously quoted saying, “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute
conversation with the average voter.” He’s implying that, ideally, a well-
informed citizenry is one that contributes to a strong and functioning democracy. It’s a sentiment that I think most people would agree with, but it’s contrary to reality. In a study published by the Pew Research Center in September of 2013, a majority of Americans were able to answer only five out of 13 questions related to current affairs. To me, that is not a reassuring sta-tistic about public knowledge.
I’m a proud news junkie. I start my days by quickly glancing through my Twitter feed, which is dominated by the accounts of news organizations such as the New York Times and NPR, and read through the articles that I feel will give me a good sense of what’s going on in the world around me. I feel like I have a fairly good grasp of current affairs, and to test myself I took the aforementioned quiz and scored 13 out of 13.
I’m a firm believer in citizens of democ-racies fulfilling their civic duties — and I don’t mean specifically just voting in elections. I’m looking at the bigger pic-ture. Not only should we be voting, but we should be able to identify and address all issues of public concern, and one way to do that is to become engaged with the news.
We live in an incredible time. Our abil-ity to access information has never been easier, and the amount of information we can access is unlimited. Now is the time to immerse oneself in this information.
Admittedly, I’m a snob when it comes to knowing the news. When reading reports like the one published by the Pew Research Center, I get frustrated, and when I ask a friend if they’ve heard about items X, Y and Z going on in the world, and they say no, it makes me want to buy them a subscription to the New York Times.
But then I find myself having to put things into perspective.
I didn’t start immersing myself in the news until my senior year of high school, and gaining knowledge of issues presented in the news was a difficult process. Throw-ing myself in the middle of the news cycle was incredibly discouraging and filled me with anxiety because unless you follow a story from the moment it breaks, nothing you read or hear will make sense.
And this shouldn’t be analyzed as a cri-tique of the reporting that goes on in the world today. The reporters of news orga-nization like the New York Times and NPR do amazing work. But the issues they cover are very complex and they some-times write their stories as if their read-ers already have the background and con-text necessary to understand what they’re writing about.
There were times when I couldn’t help but feel like I was too dumb to know what was going on. Catching up with the news cycles take a lot of time and effort, and that is the problem with how our news today is presented, but it is still our job to be well-informed citizens. Becom-ing acquainted with the news and trying to understand it shouldn’t take days and weeks of research.
Because of one journalist, however, catching up with the news is becoming incredibly simplified.
I’d like to introduce you to Ezra Klein. He is currently the editor-in-chief for a news website called Vox, and has dedicat-ed himself to explanatory reporting — the process of simplifying complex issues and making them easier to understand.
Vox is arguably the best website to turn to when you’re in the process of gaining an understanding of what’s going on in the news. It’s an incredible website for a few
reasons, but mainly due to the way it dis-sects and presents the news to its readers.
It highlights the complex passages of articles and clicking on them brings up “card stacks” that provide context and clarity so the passage is easier to under-stand. They also dedicate entire articles to providing background. Some examples are “7 facts you should know about the Ebola outbreak” and “9 questions about the Isra-el-Palestine conflict you were too embar-rassed to ask”
Vox, though, is just the beginning. It’s a news source that I will continue to follow because it has served as a strong supple-ment to understanding the strong in-depth reporting done by the major news organi-zations (the New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, etc.).
I dream of a day where Churchill’s quote will become inapplicable to the world we live in. An informed citizenry would be a valuable asset to American democracy. Informed citizens can lead to informed votes in elections, and informed votes in elections can lead to a more functioning political system. All it takes is a little bit of effort.

CHAMPAIGN LOCAL DIRECTS BRAD PITTDavid Ayer, Champaign native and director of “Sabotage” and “End of Watch” and writer of “The Fast and the Furious,” is now directing “Fury,” a World War II-based film starring
Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf and Logan Lerman among other actors. The film takes place as the Allies make a final push in the European Theatre while a “battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy,” Pitt — of course — commands a tank and her crew on a
mission behind enemy lines in an effort to “strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.” Classic. At any rate, we’re always happy to hear that someone so close to home is doing so well. Plus,
we’re always down to watch 2 hours of Nazi killing.
GOVERNOR SIGNS MEASURE PROPOSED BY THIRD GRADERS TO FIGHT PUPPY MILLS
The measure increases fines for those who violate the Animal Welfare Act, which makes it a crime to mistreat animals. First violation fines have increased from $200 to $500, second
violation fines have increased from $500 to $1,000 and third violations fines result in a $2,500 fine in addition to being placed on probation, according to the Chicago Tribune. The measure was conceived by three third-graders from Patton Elementary School in
Arlington Heights, inspired after reading a book about two students who rescued a puppy from a puppy mill. Honestly, this country might just run smoother if we replaced Congress
with a room of third graders.

CHARLOTTE CARROLLSTAFF WRITER
CHICAGO — Senior Austin Teitsma’s laughter carries over to the other tables dur-ing the second day of Big Ten Media Days. It’s not sharp or forced. It’s inviting — a far cry from his presence on the field. It pro-vides a personality that’s almost contradic-tory to the numbers.
Sitting at his table, it’s easy to forget that Teitsma is a solid 6-foot-2, 290-pound defen-sive lineman. He isn’t bored by the proceed-ings, instead a genuine smile spreads across his face as he describes his excitement about the upcoming season and representing Illi-nois football.
“It’s turning on a switch, and it’s part of the game,” Teitsma said of his dual persona. “You have to be aggressive, and it’s accept-able to be like that out there on the field. I’m definitely a two-mode dude.”
It’s hard to imagine such an upbeat pres-ence representing a defense that ranked 110th in the nation. Yet, Teitsma is exact-ly that — the nice guy off the field who has become the leader for the team when on the field.
It hasn’t been easy. Whereas the offense performed last year, the defense fizzled, allowing an average of 35.4 points per game and 5,778 total yards to opposing teams, both of which were more than the Illinois offense generated.
This underperformance left the team mulling over last season and instilling a hunger for improvement this year, accord-ing to Teistma.
For him, his senior season is about step-ping up to bring the defense to the field. It’s about forcing turnovers, which head coach Tim Beckman said will be a critical factor in the defense’s performance. And it’s about shaping his dynamite personality into a lead-ership role.
“The biggest challenge for me is definitely just being vocal,” Teitsma said. “I’m a guy who leads a lot by example. But I think that through the summer with what the coach-es have been doing with me, I’ve been a lot stronger in that attribute. Just pushing me to get out of my comfort zone and calling out guys if they need to step it up a bit.”
His team has noticed. In past years, offensive players, such
as graduate Corey Lewis, took the helm in boosting confidence. This year it is Teits-ma’s turn.
“Just look at his body,” Beckman said. “He’s totally changed. He was brought here first and was more of a role type player. And now he has become a leader and one of the guys the defense will be known as.”
While ranked sixth on the team with 53 tackles last year, it is his athleticism and optimism that have impressed his coaches and fellow teammates.
“He is very important to this team, not just the defense, the team,” Beckman said.
“He does a great job of leading. He’s a happy guy, you love being around him, you just do. He is always positive. Sometimes in a nega-tive society he does unbelievable with that, staying positive.”
Teitsma hardly believes it’s his senior year as he still feels like a freshman, even though it’s been more than six years since he first came to an Illinois football camp as a soph-omore in high school. He said he’s loved it ever since.
Now, he is providing support to younger

CHICAGO — The era of the Bowl Cham-pionship Series is over.
From 1998 to 2013, various polls and com-puter algorithms were utilized to determine the teams that would play in the prestigious postseason bowl games, from the Rose Bowl to the National Championship Game.
Fans, and even President Barack Obama, pleaded for a better, fairer system, especially after teams that finished the regular season undefeated were sometimes left out of the championship for various reasons, such as not being from one of the power conferences.
Thus, this season marks the beginning of the College Football Playoff (CFP) sys-
tem. Instead of relying on polls, a selection committee consisting of 13 members will choose four teams to participate in two semi-final games, with the winners playing for the championship.
Second year Purdue coach Darrell Hazell said the new system is going to “be neat, although it will be challenging to find the four teams out of a cluster of six or seven teams,” for instance.
“I think the powers to be will do a good job and figure out who those top four teams are,” Hazell said at this week’s Big Ten Media Days. “But I think it will add another ele-ment to college football that’ll be exciting

at the end of the year.” On that committee will be some notable
public figures, names such as Wisconsin ath-letic director Barry Alvarez, former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and former Sec-retary of State Condoleezza Rice. Each mem-ber will serve a three-year term.
CFP’s chief operating officer, Michael Kelly, said although there will be lots of criteria to decide playoff entrants, there is not any spe-cific requirement.
“As many conferences get into it, no limit to how many can be in it. They’re the best four teams. They’re playing in the playoffs. That’s the way it will be,” Kelly said.
The committee will have a plethora of sta-tistics available, from strength of schedule, head-to-head competition and parity analysis of similar opponents.
“Certainly the fifth team is going to feel a little bit left out,” Michigan State head coach
Mark Dantonio said. In an effort for transparency, weekly rank-
ings will be released beginning Oct. 28. “Our committee member felt it was impor-
tant for fans, coaches and players to know where they stand as they go through this,” Kelly said.
Detractors of a playoff system often cited the glory of bowl games as a reason for keep-ing the BCS. However the CFP wants to uti-lize and will attempt to maintain that glory.
Six bowl games will rotate as semifinal hosts. So, starting this year, the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl will host the semifinal games, whereas next year will be the Orange and Cot-ton Bowls. The remaining, non-holiday bowl games will still have their tie-ins and be pro-moted as usual.
Minnesota head coach Jerry Kill, and his Iowa counterpart Kirk Ferentz said the idea is great because the new system still places an emphasis on the postseason for teams not picked for the semifinals.
“So the bowl system really works the way it is and, to me, we’re getting the best of both
worlds with the plus one,” Ferentz said. The big, four remaining bowls will be able to
make their selections after the semifinal teams are selected. Kelly also emphasized what he called a back-to-back triple header. On Dec. 31, the Chick-Fil-A Peach, Fiesta and Orange Bowls will be played. The Cotton, Rose and Sugar Bowls will be played on New Year’s Day.
“We’re looking to bring a sports holiday, put it on an actual holiday,” Kelly said.
However, some Big Ten coaches still voiced their concerns over the system and what the future may hold.
“I worry about fan fatigue, student-athlete fatigue and student-athlete family fatigue,” Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said.
Meyer was also very vocal about the finan-cials involved with teams and their families. He said if his team makes a deep postseason run, families can be expected to spend a lot of money to see their sons play, and the financial costs should have been addressed first, “before they talked about the corporate advantages and all the great things that could happen.”
“What about that guy?” Meyer said, point-
ing at Buckeye tight end Jeff Heuerman. “You know he’s the one out there blocking people, and he’s about to go to training camp and you mean to tell me that family can’t go to the championship game because they can’t (afford it), or if they go they have to take out loans and they have to pay (them) off for the next seven years. That’s not fair.”
Meyer does believe that this will, in turn, expedite the process of paying players.
There is also concern about expanding the number of qualifying teams, to eight or 16.
Illinois head coach Tim Beckman said the time frame would make this task difficult, as students’ spring semesters typically start at the end of January. Ferentz agreed.
“Now if you start impeding on, you know going into finals and all those kinds of things ... are we doing this for the players or are we doing this for us?” Ferentz asked.

team members, all while bolstering his unit’s morale.The team has a little brother program, where older team
members receive an incoming player and watch over them. Tiestma’s little brothers — he insists that they are his
little brothers — are junior transfer Jihad Ward and sopho-more Jarrod Clements, who goes by the nickname “Chunky.”
“He got mad at me when I called him his real name,”
Teitsma laughed. The typical older brother, Tietsma proceeded to mimic
Clements in a faux deep voice, saying, “My name’s Chunky.” It’s his ability to be a mentor and an athlete that are con-
tributing to his rise as a team leader. As a senior, he wants to win and prove Illinois has a Big Ten worthy defense. To prove to himself that it was a successful four years. But most importantly, as he stressed, to leave the next genera-tion of Illinois football players with something to build on.
And while his personality captures the attention of his fellow teammates, it’s what he does in practice and games
that is able to hold it.“Austin is a phenomenal player,” said senior offensive
lineman Simon Cvijanovic. “When he’s pissed off, I feel like he could flip a car over. He’s strong as hell. I’ve seen parts of Austin that not a lot of people have. He’s a great leader because he is really strong in the weight room and he plays really strong, so guys respect him. They want to learn from him, they want to be like him. They respect his leadership.”

TEITSMAFROM 7A
MEDIA DAYSFROM 7A
BY ALEX ROUXSTAFF WRITER
It’s Nov. 2, 2013, and Illinois quarter-back Nate Scheelhaase and his coaching staff are not on the same page.
The first half is winding down in the game at Penn State, and the Illini offense blows its chance at scoring a touchdown before the clock runs out, having to settle for a field goal instead.
ESPN is carrying the game on its fam-ily of networks, and the halftime show has barely started when college football analyst Rece Davis launches into a tirade against the Illini’s handling of their last possession.
“Calling that atrocious clock manage-ment is an insult to atrocious clock man-agement,” Davis rants. “Disgraceful.”
Fellow anchors Mark May and Lou Holtz join in on the bashing of the Illini coaching staff, looking a little over-animated while
discussing a game between two mediocre Big Ten teams.
Fast-forward to today, and it’s no secret that Illinois head coach Tim Beckman hasn’t exactly been a media darling during his first two seasons at Illinois. He hasn’t done himself many favors, either. He was caught on camera chewing tobacco on the sidelines at Wisconsin during his first sea-son. He’s stumbled and stammered his way through press conferences, and his 6-18 overall record obviously hasn’t earned him much respect.
Unfortunately, Illinois football is at a stage in its rebuilding process where the program has become the butt of jokes around campus, around the conference and occasionally around the country. It’s been tough for fans and players, and when your head coach is susceptible to media blunders, it doesn’t exactly instill confi-dence for the future.
But last week’s Big Ten Media Days saw a different Beckman take the podium. He looked comfortable and sounded confi-dent, and the overall reception was posi-tive from the media and fans. He painted a picture for the future of the program in a poised manner.
But he still couldn’t escape media criti-cism, as Chicago Sun-Times columnist Steve Greenberg tweeted a photo of a nearly empty conference room during Beckman’s turn to speak. Never mind that the photo painted an inaccurate version of events, as it was taken near the end of Beckman’s session, when many in atten-dance had moved on. His first two seasons have left his blind side open to cheap shots from reporters.
Beckman went on to make the interview rounds later last week at ESPN headquar-ters in Bristol, Conn. He again performed well in front of the cameras, and was featured on a SportsCenter segment on Wednesday. At the conclusion of his inter-view with Joe Tessitore, the SportsCenter anchors couldn’t resist a parting shot at Beckman and Illini football:
“Good luck, he’s gonna need it.”It’s unfortunate, because Beckman truly
can’t win with the media right now. He’s obviously improved his speaking skills, but his efforts haven’t eradicated the jabs at him and his program. The only thing that can truly fix his and the program’s image is winning football games.
If Illinois makes a bowl game this year
and Beckman goes on to have a successful career in Champaign, the struggles of his first two seasons will be largely forgotten. His coach-speak rallying points and moti-vational acronyms will be embraced, not met with an eye-roll as they are now, by fans and reporters. Perception can change quickly when a team fills the W column.
Beckman is beginning to look the part of a high-major football coach for the first time in his tenure at Illinois. An uptick in recruiting and impressive classroom per-formance by his players has given him his biggest reason to be confident in front of the media heading into his third season. But now it needs to translate to the field.
Beckman seems like a genuinely good guy, but he needs to prove he can coach. If he turns in a third rough season, he may not get a chance for a fourth. But if he ends up turning this program around, his public image will do a 180 as well. And the reporters that have used him as a punch-ing bag will be the same ones clamoring for an interview.
