The event began in 2006 and has since grown in participation with 1,314 people participating this year. Volunteers worked both locally and overseas on iHelp projects at locations such as Barcelona, Spain, and Cerca Carvejal, Haiti. Megan Pagel , director of iHelp 2012 and senior in Social Work, said students signed up with a team to participate in the event and either chose their own project to complete or were assigned a project. Many alumni also participat- ed in the service event. Molly Jardine, co-director of iHelp and junior in LAS , said she made connections across the country and overseas and asked alumni about doing projects for iHelp. Ann Collier, vice president of service for the Panhellenic Council and senior in Educa- tion, helped organize a campus- wide cleanup initiative for fra- ternities and sororities. Collier said even though Greek houses often do philan- thropic work and fundraising, she wanted to focus their vol- unteer hours more on commu- nity service. “The campuswide cleanup is something that we usually do anyway, so I thought we would tie it in with iHelp,” Collier said. “This year with iHelp, we have so many people involved that we have to go off-campus a little bit, too.” Collier estimated there were about 400 people involved with the project Saturday.

The initiative, in its fi fth year, is aimed at gathering personal care and food products, sewing Christmas stockings and writing cards to members of the armed forces from local communities. The event was held at the University of Illinois Extension office in Champaign. University of Illinois Extension is an outreach program that coordinates 4-H clubs for youth in the area. Dozens of volunteers of all ages handwrote messages to troops overseas, traced and cut stocking outlines, sewed stockings, and sorted supplies. Volunteers donated almost all of the stocking materials and personal care and food supplies. Jill Rannebarger, 4-H club leader and event organizer, said the sewn stockings, cards and stocking stuffers will be transported to Bloomington, Ill., where the Operation Santa umbrella organization will stuff them with food, toiletries and cards in an “assembly-line” effort. Rannebarger said they received monetary donations to cover shipping costs to military bases. “Ninety-five percent of (the fabric for stockings) is donations,” Rannebarger said. “People donate anywhere from a half a yard to a bolt of fabric.” She said last year, the initiative resulted in 1,750 handwritten cards, almost 2,000 stockings and $1,500 in stocking stuffers. Jean McCormick, former mayor of Philo, Ill., volunteered at the event, spending three hours sewing stockings. McCormick is involved in Champaign County Home and Community Education, a UI Extension program for adults, and played a part in getting names of service members from families and community members overseas. Members of Circle K, a University service organization, participated in Operation Santa as part of iHelp, a Homecoming kickoff event promoting community outreach. “(Our troops) have to spend Christmas away from their families,” said Shanshan Ge, Circle K member and freshman in Engineering. “It’s great to show them that we care and are thinking of them.” Lt. Dan Emmert, assistant professor of naval science and Navy ROTC adviser, served overseas and said the armed forces are grateful for initiatives of this nature. “Care packages are always awesome,” Emmert said. “Our military members always appreciate support.

The GEO received tuition waiver protection after striking in 2009, but a few months later, members claim the University violated that contract by reduc- ing tuition waivers for graduate employees within the College of Fine and Applied Arts. The con- tract expired Aug. 16. Stephanie Seawell, GEO com- munications officer , said as a result of the violation, many graduate employees had to pay a portion of their tuition and fees. The GEO filed a grievance with the University, hoping administrators would acknowl- edge the violation and retroac- tively pay the employees back, but administrators disagreed. After a third-party federal arbitrator filed in favor of the organization, the University appealed the ruling to the Illi- nois Educational Labor Rela- tions Board, or IELRB. The IELRB is an agency that enforces the regulation of col- lective bargaining among edu- cational employers and employ- ees in public schools throughout the state. John Brosnan, special coun- sel to the IELRB, said before monthly meetings with appeals on the agenda, each board mem- ber and an IELRB attorney typically looks over the case. Board members are then giv- en the opportunity to discuss a memo prepared by the attor- ney regarding the appeal. If all members are in agreement, he said the attorney will create a written draft of the board’s rec- ommendation before the next board meeting. The board reviewed the GEO’s case at its meeting Thursday. GEO member Michelle Salerno was at the board meeting Thurs- day and said it seems like the board is leaning toward a for- mal decision to rule in favor of the organization. Salerno said IELRB staff gave a quick overview of the case and presented the attor- ney’s memo, which recommend- ed that board members rule in favor of the GEO. She said there was no disagreement from the board. Brosnan said this was the first step of the two-step process to reach a final decision; board members will formally vote and finalize the written draft at a Nov. 15 board meeting. “It’s very rare that any of them will change their minds between one meeting and the next, but it is possible.” Bros- nan said. Although the University can choose to appeal the board’s decision if it rules in favor of the GEO, Seawell said she hopes they can agree and move forward in developing a new contract. “After the final decision comes in November, we’re hop- ing that the administration will start working with us to enforce the contract that we had,” Sea- well said. “More importantly, we’re hoping they’ll also begin working with us to negotiate the same issue in the contract nego- Volunteers work overseas, in C-U on annual day of service See iHELP, Page 3A See GEO, Page 3A Operation Santa holds its 3rd workshop Check out the revamped DailyIllini.com Campus celebrates writing BY TYLER DAVIS CONTRIBUTING WRITER Because hardly a day pass- es where students fi nd them- selves not writing, the Uni- versity celebrated the fourth annual National Day on Writ- ing on Friday.

iHelp kicks off Homecoming Week

BY JANELLE O’DEACONTRIBUTING WRITER

Orange-clad students and alumni dotted the Quad on Sat-urday morning as they split up into volunteer groups for the Homecoming Week kickoff event, iHel p.

iHelp, an event organized by the Student Alumni Ambassa-dors, is an annual day of service that marks the beginning of Homecoming Week. The event

began in 2006 and has since grown in participation with 1,314 people participating this year. Volunteers worked both locally and overseas on iHelp projects at locations such as Barcelona, Spain, and Cerca Carvejal, Haiti .

Megan Pagel , director of iHelp 2012 and senior in Social Work, said students signed up with a team to participate in the event and either chose their

own project to complete or were assigned a project.

Many alumni also participat-ed in the service event. Molly Jardine, co-director of iHelp and junior in LAS , said she made connections across the country and overseas and asked alumni about doing projects for iHelp.

Ann Collier, vice president of service for the Panhellenic Council and senior in Educa-tion , helped organize a campus-wide cleanup initiative for fra-ternities and sororities.

Collier said even though Greek houses often do philan-thropic work and fundraising, she wanted to focus their vol-

“The campuswide cleanup is something that we usually do anyway, so I thought we would tie it in with iHelp,” Collier said. “This year with iHelp, we have so many people involved that we have to go off-campus a little bit, too.”

Collier estimated there were about 400 people involved with the project Saturday.

The ongoing confl ict between the University and the Gradu-ate Employees’ Organization is one step closer to being resolved with a labor relations board decision to come in November.

Serial killing case next test for Illinois courts and cameras BY MICHAEL TARMTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — The latest trial of alleged serial killer Nicholas She-ley will attract widespread inter-est as it gets under way in rural northwestern Illinois — and not only because of the sensational subject matter. It also is the most highly anticipated test of an ongo-ing experiment with cameras in Illinois courts.

Cameras are not allowed dur-ing jury selection, which begins in earnest Monday with one-on-one questioning of potential jurors; would-be panelists fi lled out questionnaires Friday. Cam-eras will start rolling during opening statements, expected a week from Monday. That is when court offi cials will be watching to see if the expanded media presence in any way disrupts proceedings — the fear of some judges and attorneys.

Among those looking on will be the architect of the ambitious project, Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Kilbride , and the chief judge of Cook County’s court system, Timothy Evans . Evans will look to the Sheley trial for tips on how to mix cameras smoothly into trial rooms if and when the program is approved for his media-rich jurisdiction.

“I don’t think we have had anything else as high profi le,” Kilbride said in a recent tele-phone interview, agreeing the trial may pose the biggest test

yet. “Sheley adds a new element of media (interest).”

Sheley, 33, is accused of blud-geoning eight people to death dur-ing a 2008 killing spree through Illinois and Missouri that last-ed several days. The trial at the Whiteside County Courthouse in Morrison, Ill., is for the death of Russell Reed, 93, of Sterling, Ill. — whose badly beaten body was found in the trunk of his car.

Last year, jurors convicted Sheley of killing Ronald Randall, 65, of Galesburg, Ill., in the fi rst of what will be a series of trials in the case. It took place before the Illinois Supreme Court launched the cameras-in-court policy in January, one that, if it goes well, could see Illinois permanently join the majority of states that already permit camera coverage of trials. Currently, only about a dozen states still prohibit the practice.

One concern is that Sheley might be tempted to play to the cameras — to his detriment in jurors’ eyes. At one 2009 hear-ing, Sheley began screaming at a judge, calling him “stupid and ignorant” before being dragged from the room. To guard against such outbursts at his fi rst trial, Sheley was outfi tted with a stun belt, a device worn under his clothes, that allowed bailiffs to deliver a sharp electrical shock by remote control.

Kilbride, speaking Friday, said the pilot project has had a good track record so far.

US senator, presidential candidate dies at 90BY KRISTI EATON AND WALTER R. MEARSTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — George McGovern once joked that he had wanted to run for president in the worst way — and that he had done so.

It was a campaign in 1972 dis-honored by Watergate , a scan-dal that fully unfurled too late to knock Republican President Rich-ard M. Nixon from his place as a commanding favorite for re-elec-tion. The South Dakota senator tried to make an issue out of the bungled attempt to wiretap the offi ces of the Democratic Nation-al Committee , calling Nixon the most corrupt president in history.

But the Democrat could not escape the embarrassing missteps of his own campaign. The most torturous was the selection of Mis-souri Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton as the vice presidential nominee and, 18 days later , following the disclo-sure that Eagleton had undergone electroshock therapy for depres-sion, the decision to drop him from the ticket despite having pledged to back him “1,000 percent.”

It was at once the most memora-ble and the most damaging line of his campaign, and called “possibly the most single damaging faux pas ever made by a presidential can-didate” by the late political writer Theodore H. White .

After a hard day’s campaign-ing — Nixon did virtually none

— McGovern would complain to those around him that nobody was paying attention. With R. Sargent Shriver as his running mate, he went on to carry only Massachu-setts and the District of Columbia, winning just 38 percent of the pop-ular vote in one of the biggest land-slides losses in American presi-dential history.

A proud liberal who had argued fervently against the Vietnam War as a Democratic senator from South Dakota and three-time can-didate for president, McGovern died at 5:15 a.m. Sunday at a Sioux Falls hospice, family spokesman Steve Hildebrand told The Asso-ciated Press. McGovern was 90.

McGovern’s family had said late last week that McGovern had become unresponsive while in hos-pice care, and Hildebrand said he was surrounded by family and life-long friends when he died.

“We are blessed to know that our father lived a long, success-ful and productive life advocating for the hungry, being a progres-sive voice for millions and fi ght-

ing for peace. He continued giv-ing speeches, writing and advising all the way up to and past his 90th birthday, which he celebrated this summer,” the family said in the statement.

A funeral will be held in Sioux Falls , with details announced soon, Hildebrand said.

A decorated World War II bomber pilot, McGovern said he learned to hate war by waging it. In his disastrous race against Nixon, he promised to end the Vietnam War and cut defense spending by billions of dollars. He helped create the Food for Peace program and spent much of his career believing the Unit-ed States should be more accom-modating to the former Soviet Union.

Never a showman, he made his case with a style as plain as the prairies where he grew up, sound-ing often more like the Method-ist minister he’d once studied to become than longtime U.S. sena-tor and three-time candidate for president he became.

Three dead in Wisconsin shooting at spa

BY DINESH RAMDETHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BROOKFIELD, Wis. — A man police suspected of killing three and wounding four by opening fi re at a tranquil day spa was found dead Sunday afternoon following a six-hour manhunt that locked down a shopping center, country club and hos-pital in suburban Milwaukee.

Authorities said they believed the shooting was related to a domestic dispute. The man they identifi ed as the suspect, Rad-cliffe Franklin Haughton, 45, of Brown Deer, had a restraining order against him.

Brookfi eld Police Chief Dan Tushaus said Haughton died of a self-infl icted gunshot wound and was found in the spa.

Authorities initially believed Haughton had fled and spent

much of Sunday looking for him.

The shooting happened about 11 a.m. at the Azana Day Spa, a two-story, 9,000-square-foot building across from a major shopping mall in Brookfi eld, a middle-to-upper class community west of Milwaukee. Hours later, a bomb squad descended on the building, and Tushaus said an improvised explosive device had been found inside. It was not clear whether it remained a threat.

The mall, a country club adja-cent to the spa, a nearby hos-pital and other buildings were locked down as police searched for Haughton.

Shortly before authorities said Haughton’s body had been found, his father, Radcliffe Haughton Sr., told The Associated Press and a television station in telephone

interviews from Florida that he had last spoken to his son a few days ago, but didn’t have any indi-cation anything was wrong.

He said then that he had a mes-sage for his son: “Please just turn yourself in or contact me.”

Tushaus said offi cers initially focused on reaching and helping the victims. The victims’ names were not released by authorities, and the hospital treating them was temporarily locked down. Staff members were being escort-ed into the building, and critically injured patients were accepted with a police escort. Offi cers were stationed at all main entrances to the facility.

A sea of ambulances and police vehicles collected at the scene shortly after the shooting. A wit-ness, David Gosh of nearby West Allis, told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel he was returning from duck hunting with his father and a friend when he saw a woman emerge from the spa, screaming, as she ran into traffi c. The area is near an interstate and a busy commercial road.

“She ran right out into the street was pounding on cars,” Gosh told the newspaper. He said that moments later, a man with a handgun ran out, and appeared to be chasing her, then went back inside.

People inside the mall were patiently awaiting updates, and for word they could leave. Gina Kralik, a bartender at Red Rob-in Gourmet Burgers in the mall, said by telephone that the res-taurant was still locked down as of about 3 p.m. She said 18 peo-ple were there -- all employees except for a couple reporters who managed to get in. She said peo-ple were allowed to leave at one point, but then the police decid-ed not to let anyone come or go from the mall.

“We’re just sitting watching the news and also trying to fi nd out what’s going on,” she said.

Police released little about Haughton other than a physical description and a photo. They said he was wearing a grey sweater, jeans, and carrying a white and black backpack. They

said he was 6-foot-2, and more than 200 pounds.

Online court records showed a temporary restraining order was issued against Haughton in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on Oct. 8 because of a domes-tic abuse complaint. Haughton appeared in court Thursday, when a no-contact order was issued and he was told to turn all his weapons over to the sher-iff’s department.

It was not clear who sought the restraining order, but his father said he was married.

It was the second mass shoot-ing in Wisconsin this year. Wade Michael Page, a 40-year-old Army veteran and white suprem-acist, killed six people and injured three others before fatal-ly shooting himself Aug. 5 at a Sikh temple south of Milwaukee.

The shooting at the mall took place less than a mile from where seven people were killed and four wounded on March 12, 2005, when a gunman opened fi re at a Living Church of God service held at a hotel.

chair for Accounting Club and junior in Business, said she got her club involved to fulfi ll part of the group’s philanthropy requirement.

Other participants said they saw iHelp as an fun opportunity to help students get to know one another while completing com-munity service hours.

Supriya Hobbs, junior in LAS, is a resident advisor in Innova-tion LLC, a living-learning com-munity in ISR.

Hobbs said RAs have to put on programs for their residents, so she signed up an Innovation LLC team for iHelp because she thought it would be a fun experience.

Hobbs’ group was assigned to go to the India Run for Hope at the Armory , an American Cancer Society event similar to Relay for Life. It sought to raise awareness about and help prevent cancer in India.

Anna Ortigara, senior in AHS, also attended and said she liked the surprise, as participants do not fi nd out which service proj-ect they would be working on until the day of the event.

“It’s part of the fun,” she said. “It’s like the lottery.”

Pagel said there is usually an event with food and enter-tainment for iHelp participants after the service projects are fi nished, but due to budgetary reasons, this year there was not.

Instead, SAA will host the Homecoming Kickoff at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center on Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m ., where they will provide free pizza. Illini coaches, athletes and Paralympians will be pres-ent for a Q-and-A.

tiations that we have right now.” Campus spokeswoman Robin

Kaler said administrators will consider their next move after the board makes their fi nal decision.

Kaler said administrators want to be able to adjust tuition waiv-ers for future graduate employees if necessary. The GEO is seeking tuition waiver protection for all future graduate employees.

“The University is unwilling to relinquish the authority to set tuition policies for students, including those represented by the GEO,” Kaler said in an email.

Despite differences in opinion regarding the contract, Kaler said she still believes providing tuition waivers should be continued.

“Providing tuition waivers and other forms of fi nancial assis-tance to graduate students has been a long-standing practice and will continue in the future, though over the years there have been occasional adjustments concern-ing the details of tuition waivers on a department-by-department basis,” Kaler said in the email.

Salerno said the reduced tuition waivers have negatively affected graduate employees.

“For us, the big thing is for them (administrators) to honor the 2009 contract (which expired Aug. 16),” Salerno said. “We have mem-bers who are still being affected by this contract. We have mem-bers who have reduced tuition waivers and who are paying higher fees because of the way in which the administration broke the contract.”

week and what they like to write.“Even if they don’t like writing,

we like to encourage (students) to write by talking about their worst experiences,” said Grace Rosean, junior in LAS. “It’s been good with midterms this week.”

Rosean said she was satisfi ed with the student turnout.

“I think almost all four boards have fi lled up,” Rosean said. “Espe-cially for Friday afternoon that’s really great, and we’re really excited about that.”

The University’s writing day activities were organized partly in response to complaints that “no one writes anymore,” said Eliza-beth Morley , Writer’s Workshop director.

“I think it’s a problem with the defi nition of writing,” Morley said. “People think of writing as using paper and pen, and it’s true people don’t do that (as much) anymore.”

Morley’s defi nition of writing is broader in the technological age; she considers writing to be “any kind of composed words or media,” which is a theme that carried over to University’s writing activities Friday. She said almost everyone she knows writes a lot more than they used to, especially through media such as email.

“People of every age are writing and keeping up with their friends way more than they ever used to write letters back and forth,” Morley said. “So I don’t think it’s true that people aren’t writing anymore.”

WRITING DAY

Page 4: The Daily Illini: Volume 142 Issue 41

W hen I was younger, my con-cept of news was limited to two things: Peter Jennings’

face as he informed me of ongoing attempts by President Bill Clinton for peace in the Middle East and the thick stack of gray paper topped with the blue masthead that read “Chica-go Tribune.”

My view of journalism didn’t change much — not when I became interested in journalism in high school, not even when I began to study journalism in college; but when I actually began applying journalism skills to my work at The Daily Illini.

Then, the real challenge, as I have discovered at the DI, comes in cre-ating the format that is best and that will help as many people as pos-sible realize the importance of a story.

That’s what we’ve tried to keep in mind during our entire redesign of The Daily Illini’s website. Leaving behind our strict notions of “old” and “new” media, we can produce works of journalism that will serve

our audience in the best manner possible, using all the tools we have at our disposal.

Our website redesign lets read-ers see all our story forms from the front page, including audio, photo and video storytelling. We also will begin building toward more techni-

cal, interactive story forms in order to create a more personalized news experience.

Today we also launch a new genera-tion of social media, with the purpose of reaching out to readers and ask-ing them to share their thoughts more than ever before.

Social media is here to stay — I would even call it the greatest innova-tion of this generation. It has allowed us to live in a world outside our own and to understand concepts and cul-tures we may not have ever known.

It’s also revolutionized the way we frame experiences in our day-to-day lives.

The Daily Illini’s social media out-lets encompass the most popular forms across a broad spectrum of media. Tumblr has become a home for quick images, quotes, sound bites and video. Pinterest boasts images cat-egorized by content, so a reader can quickly find a subject they are inter-ested in. LinkedIn allows our entity of the Illini Media Company to have its own professional space on the web.

We aim to bring the very best con-tent to our Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as multimedia to our YouTube channel. We recognize that in this fast paced, 24-hour news cycle, we feel the pressure to be first to report, but we strive to be as accurate as possible.

We are thrilled about the new ways available to present our reporting and are thrilled for the framework it sets up for future generations of stu-dent journalists. But even amid the excitement, we will not forget what we’re ultimately here for: We will never waver in our responsibility to journalism.

In a conference call with the National Federation of Inde-pendent Businesses this past

June, Gov. Mitt Romney asked employers to let it be known to their employees who they are going to vote for and why they are going to vote for them.

This is not illegal, for in 2010 the Supreme Court ruled in its Citizens United case that employers are allowed to influence their employ-ees in political campaigns.

But when CEOs start emailing their employees telling them that if President Obama is reelected, then they will be forced to fire a signifi-cant percentage of their employees, we have a problem.

On Oct. 8, David Siegel, the own-er of Westgate Resorts, warned his employees about the effects of President Obama’s potential reelection.

“If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our cur-rent President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company,” Siegel wrote in the email to his employees. “Rather than grow this company I will be forced to cut back. This means fewer jobs, less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone.”

How can a business owner have the nerve to give his or her work-ers an oversimplified ultimatum of “Vote for Romney or you’re outta here”? In what way is this an appro-priate relationship between employ-er and employee?

Under President Obama, the cor-porate tax rate would decrease from 35 percent to 28 percent yet eliminate tax credits and exemptions.

While this closing of loopholes may lead to an overall increase in corporation’s taxes, that does not necessarily mean that CEOs have to fire employees. There are oth-er ways that corporations can cut back in spending, such as decreas-ing raises for top officers, having employees purchase or bring their own lunches instead of catering for meetings and holding Skype conference calls instead of send-ing employees across the nation or world. These alternative options may not work for every business, but the point is that CEOs should not see their employees as first on the list to do away with.

For a CEO to essentially threaten his or her employees into voting for Gov. Romney is an act that is out-of-character of this nation. To feel threatened into voting for a cer-tain candidate is a quality of many newly-democratic nations — not one that has been around for 236 years. We have the freedom to vote for whom we want, and for an employer to forcefully infringe on our opin-ion is sacri-constitutional.

Arthur Allen, the president and CEO of ASG Software Solutions, also recently sent out a threatening email to his employees.

“If we fail as a nation to make the right choice on November 6th, and we lose our independence as a com-pany, I don’t want to hear any com-plaints regarding the fallout that will most likely come,” Allen said. “I am asking you to give us one more chance to stay independent by voting in a new President and administration on November 6th.”

These methods of coercion were illegal before the Citizens Unit-ed case, when the government was allowed to limit corporate politi-cal speech. But since the decision of the case, the floodgates have opened for employers to tell their employees who to vote for as well as why to vote for them. In the June

conference call, Romney encour-aged business owners to tell their employees “about what you believe is best for the business, because I think that will figure into their election decision, their voting decision.”

But what some business owners have done is go an extra step and essentially force their employees to vote for a specific candidate, or else they could potentially lose their jobs. Is that really the type of envi-ronment that employees want to work in? I know if I were made the puppet of my boss I would certainly have less of a desire to respect my boss and put effort into my work.

No matter what election or what candidate is being promoted, it is not appropriate for business owners to try and influence their employ-ees’ voting preferences through threats. If every employer put out threats like these, we would live in a very fearful and narrow-minded country.

Business owners need to take a step back and see their employees as people who have political inter-ests outside the arena of corporate taxes.

Perhaps employees’ biggest con-cerns are not related to their jobs. Employers can make known whom they are going to vote for person-ally and why, as long as they don’t turn into a public relations cam-paign for that candidate. And most importantly, employers should in no way make their employees feel threatened into voting for a partic-ular candidate.

While business and politics can-not maintain completely sepa-rate spheres, there should be lim-ited political sway when it comes to employers and employees. Let’s focus on business, not political rhetoric.

How Obama, Romney could

voters

POLITICAL CARTOON SARAH GAVIN THE DAILY ILLINI

KIRSTEN KELLEROpinions columnist

Every four years, this country is afflicted by a strange myo-pia: Because all our attention is

focused on who will be the next presi-dent, we easily forget all the other races going on. But if science is an important issue for you, dear reader — and I, as a researcher, hope that it is — then your choice of senator and representative can be just as influen-tial as your choice of president.

After all, the road that money trav-els from government revenue to research paper is not a particularly straight one.

On the one side, presidents, in their annual budget proposals, list the amount of money they would like diverted to each of the major research and development organizations: These include the National Science Founda-tion, the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense’s R&D arm. These outlays account for about 4 percent of the federal budget, but they rarely go into detail on what exactly should be funded.

On the other side, each different research institution determines which projects should receive grant mon-ey. Proposals are reviewed by expert researchers from around the country. (Because, really, who else could tell if “The van der Corput transform on multi-dimensional exponential sums” — a topic in my recent proposal to the NSF — is feasible, useful, or just a bunch of technobabble?)

And in the middle, Congress mucks it all up.

In the complicated calculus of sci-ence funding, Congress controls the strings of which areas of science to support and which to deny – and there is no guarantee that they understand the impacts of their decisions. Con-gress recently questioned whether to have the NSF fund research in the social sciences at all. Or take climate science for example. Despite 97 per-cent of climatologists agreeing that climate change is happening as a result of human activity, Congress is incredibly hostile to the idea that cli-mate change happens. They are reluc-tant to funding research into it.

If I sound particularly down on Con-gress, it is because I have heard one too many horror stories: Research-ers summoned before Congress only to be mocked and derided by politi-cians who know less about how sci-ence works than I know about the Kardashians (which is to say, nothing at all).

In an exchange last year, Rep, John Culberson (R-Texas)chastised the director of the NSF for taking so long to write a comprehensive report on successful STEM (science, technol-ogy, engineering, and mathematics) programs in education: The number one STEM school in the country is only eight miles away from the NSF offices, he said, so why didn’t they just go there and write about what the school was doing?

As any scientist would tell you, and as I have tried to point out again and again in these columns, just because something worked in one place there is no guarantee it will work anywhere else. There are too many variables involved.

But try to convince the representa-tive of that.

More than anything, we need a Con-gress that is scientifically literate. The bar here does not need to be ter-ribly high; we do not need every Con-gressperson to be a microbiologist to decide the merits of microbiology. This is why we have the NSF in the first place!

But we do need Congress to under-stand how science works, that science is not fast, that science is not flashy, and that science does not guarantee results no matter how much funding you give. Science often times finds a hundred ways that do not work before finding one way that does.

Telling which senators and repre-sentatives are scientifically literate, though, is hard, even in an election year. Science funding lacks the big-bang appeal worthy of paragraphs of description on their websites. But if you look closely, you can find a little remark here or there. Energy research comes up fairly often.

More revealing is when a politician calls out to cut funding for a particu-lar area. I may be a mathematician, but I recognize the importance of funding the social sciences and cli-mate change research even if it means that there’s a little less funding in the pot for me.

T he last of the Romney-Obama debates are tonight at 8 p.m. I, for one, am totally excited. I’m

looking forward to more meme-inducing quotes and moderator steamrolling. And, of course, this kind-of-a-big deal issue we call for-eign policy.

I want to hear what the candidates have to say about Turkey and Syria, China and of course, the concerns in Libya. But how they approach and present the information is almost as important as the information. The truth of the matter is, if they come across negatively in any way, it may affect the points they make. Here is, in my opinion, what the candidates need to do to win over the undecid-ed voters ... and to also not look or sound awful in the process.

Obama needs to show us that he’s in it to win it.

The Obama that came out dur-ing the second presidential debate when there was talk of the situa-tion in Libya? That right there is the Obama I want to see on TV. He spit fire when he said he was going to find out exactly what hap-pened, and it was the most feeling I saw in a long time. It showed he cared. Unfortunately, it only lasted for about five minutes, and he went back to his normal, debate routine — looking like he had better things to do. I know Obama is loved for his calm, “I got this manner,” but there’s a difference between being the rock in a storm, and acting like you just don’t care.

Obama should bring his knowledge on other countries without sounding like a know-it-all.

Obama has dealt with foreign pol-icy in the past, and it hasn’t gone too bad. However, the challenge is to make sure he brings his home-work to the table ... without sound-ing overconfident because he’s done this before. There are new problems and challenges on the horizon, so he needs to bring it home and assure us that he’ll bring that dedication back from his first term, but he should also stress that he’s willing to improve.

Romney needs to stop sounding smarmy.

Look, I get what he was trying to say when he was looking for quali-fied women on his team as governor. Maybe. However, he couldn’t have said “he was given the names of women” or he found “several wom-en” that would have been great in his cabinet. Nope, he had to go and put them in a binder. This made him sound like he had a list full of wom-en in the palm of his hands, even though he was speaking on women’s pay rights.

It’s not like Romney is constant-ly making gaffes like this left and right, but that one was enough to set him apart, and not in a good way. He needs to watch out for any com-ments like that tonight because the last thing any presidential candidate needs is to look like a tool.

But Romney also needs to toughen it up — for this debate, at least.

He doesn’t need to be more of a smarmy-mouth — I’ve already established that. And it was good that he was able to soften up during the first debates. Before, I thought him a bit impersonal, so for me, he did OK trying to rebuff that. And, as a side note, I appreciate that he put his debate skills into good use. However, this time around, he needs to appear stern. This is his official last chance to show America that he can guide us out of the hope-forsak-en predicament we call “debt,” and he needs to come off as a protecting father figure towards our dollars.

Regardless if Romney and Obama perfectly appeal to the people via their debate actions, it will be inter-esting to see how the gentlemen handle foreign affairs. And wheth-er they follow my advice or go it their own way, both candidates have shown that they have the qualities, phrases and some facts to make this debate entertaining.

MINNEAPOLIS — The trial of a Minneapolis man convicted in a conspiracy to send young men from Minnesota to the terrorist group al-Shabab in Somalia has provided the most detailed look yet into what has been called one of the largest investigations into the recruitment of U.S. fi ghters to a foreign terrorist organization.

Mahamud Said Omar, 46, was convicted Thursday on fi ve ter-rorism-related counts, including one that could land him in prison for life.

Authorities say he provided money for al-Shabab weapons and

helped some young recruits get plane tickets for Somalia — push-ing them toward the terror group after they were indoctrinated in Minneapolis.

Omar nodded quietly as an interpreter gave him the news. As he was being led from the court-room, he held his hands up over his head and smiled at his broth-ers and other supporters. One of his defense attorneys, Jon Hope-man, said afterward that Omar will appeal.

After the verdict, B. Todd Jones, U.S. Attorney for Minnesota, said the government values religious and political freedoms but that some lines that can’t be crossed.

“One of those lines is, you cannot provide material sup-port to a designated terrorist organization such as al-Shabab,” Jones said. Omar, a mosque jani-tor, was the fi rst man to stand trial in the government’s inves-tigation into the recruitment of more than 20 men who author-ities say have left Minnesota since 2007 to join al-Shabab, a U.S.-designated terrorist group linked to al-Qaida. From secret meetings to plans to travel in small groups to avoid detection, trial testimony provided insight into how the young men were recruited and what happened when they got to Somalia.

AMMAN, Jordan — A taxi packed with explosives blew up near a police station in the Syr-ian capital Sunday, killing 13 peo-ple as the U.N. envoy tasked with ending the country’s civil war pushed his call for a cease-fi re in talks with President Bashar Assad.

The blast, which also wounded 29 people in the popular shopping district of Bab Touma, was over-shadowed however by anti-Syria violence in neighboring Lebanon.

Hundreds of angry Lebanese protesters tried to storm the gov-ernment headquarters in the capital, Beirut, blaming Syria for the Friday assassination of a top Lebanese intelligence offi cial and accusing the government of being far too close to the Assad regime. For much of the past 30 years, Lebanon has lived under Syrian military and political domination.

In Syria, two government offi -cials speaking from the scene of the blast said the taxi exploded 50 yards from the main police sta-tion in Bab Touma, a neighbor-hood in Damascus’ Old City. They insisted on anonymity because they were not allowed to brief the media.

Vegetable vendor Mohammad Hanbali, 27, said several people wounded in the blast were lying on the street when he rushed to help.

“It’s a cowardly act, carried out by terrorists,” said Hanbali, who was hit by a piece of shrap-nel in the left leg.

State news agency SANA put the death toll at 13, while the anti-regime Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 10 people were killed.

Bab Touma is mainly inhabit-ed by Syria’s Christian minority.

Damascus has been a fre-quent target of bombings in recent months, although it was once largely immune to the vio-lence spreading across the coun-try since the anti-Assad revolt began in March 2011.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Sunday’s blast, but Islamist groups fi ght-ing alongside the rebels have in the past said they target secu-rity installations in the capital.

In another part of the city, U.N. and Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi met with Assad to push for a cease-fi re between rebels and government forces for the four-day Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, which begins Oct. 26.

Brahimi said that he met earli-er with Syrian opposition groups inside and outside the country to discuss his truce plan. He said he received “promises” but “not

a commitment” from them to honor the cease-fi re.

He told reporters that he “found an overwhelming response” from Assad’s opponents to his cease-fi re plan and that “all of them have said that it’s a good idea which they support.” He declined to reveal Assad’s response to his plan, viewed as a preliminary step toward a larger deal.

SANA reported that Assad assured Brahimi he supported his effort, but it did not say whether he committed to a truce.

“The president said he is open to any sincere effort to fi nd a political solution to the crisis on the basis of respecting Syrian sovereign-ty and rejecting foreign interfer-ence,” it said.

Anti-regime activists say more than 33,000 people have been killed since the anti-Assad revolt started.

NEWARK, N.J. — The Trans-portation Security Administra-tion on Friday moved to fi re 25 employees at Newark Liberty International Airport and sus-pend 19 others for what it said was improper screening of checked luggage, the latest in a series of problems at one of the country’s busiest airports.

The alleged screening fail-ures were uncovered late last year after surveillance camer-as were installed in one of the airport’s 25 screening rooms to check for possible thefts, the TSA said.

Eight employees were fi red in June in the investigation. The latest action raises to 52 the number of TSA employees at Newark caught up in the inves-tigation, making it the biggest single disciplinary action tak-en by the TSA at a U.S. airport.

An offi cial of a union that

represents some of the Newark employees said Friday it’s like-ly the union will seek to have the employees reinstated. The union has seven days to answer the TSA’s proposal.

“The charges right now seem to be improper screening of bags, which we don’t feel is correct,” said Stacy Dodtmann, regional vice president of the American Federation of Gov-ernment Employees.

“We feel they performed their jobs to what they were trained to do.”

The latest group cited includes screeners, as well as managers accused of failing to effectively supervise their employees. Among the allega-tions is that screeners failed to open up and physically check bags that had been fl agged by X-ray machines.

All the screeners cited for failing to follow procedures were removed from their jobs

in November and December and given nonscreening duties pend-ing completion of the investiga-tion, the TSA said.

The TSA has more than 1,400 employees at Newark, one of the New York area’s three major airports.

“The decision to take disci-plinary actions today with the proposed removal of 25 individ-uals and suspension of 19 oth-ers reaffi rms our strong com-mitment to ensure the safety of the traveling public and to hold all our employees to the highest standards of conduct and accountability,” said Lisa Farbstein, a TSA spokeswoman.

The theft investigation, which the TSA said was the reason the cameras were installed, did not lead to any charges. The TSA said an employee who was a suspect in that probe ended up resigning, though the cameras were left in place, turning up the screening lapses.

ILLINIDRIVE

BY DANIEL MILLER-MCLEMORESTAFF WRITER

After two straight victories had No. 25 Illinois back over .500 for the first time since early October, the Illinois volleyball team entered Sunday’s con-test against No. 4 Nebraska with hopes of making a statement in front of an ESPN2 audience.

The Cornhuskers did everything they could to shatter those hopes,

steamrolling the Illini in three sets, 25-16, 25-23, 25-16.

“We just gave a team that doesn’t give up points, way too many points,” Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly said. “They force you to beat them, they don’t beat themselves. We needed to execute at a much higher level, and we weren’t up to that challenge today.”

The Illini were plagued by a pleth-ora of errors, finishing with 24 hitting errors to just 10 for the Cornhuskers.

Nebraska jumped on Illinois early in the first set, leading from start to fin-ish. Appearing unfazed by a raucous Huff Hall crowd of more than 3,000, the Cornhuskers came out on fire, lac-ing pinpoint serves and consistently putting the Illini on their heels. Nebras-

ka’s wealth of experience helped the team maintain its composure, wile the young Illinois team appeared unsettled from the get-go. A combination of poor passing and hitting errors doomed the Illini in a 25-16 first-set loss.

“I think there were a little bit, just nervousness and anxiousness to get going,” sophomore outside hitter Ali Stark said.

Illinois’ youth on the court was more pronounced than ever Sunday, as Ham-bly made the decision to start freshman defensive specialist Julia Conard over senior Jackie Wolfe. With Conard in the lineup, the Illini started four fresh-man and two sophomores, a sharp con-

BY ETHAN ASOFSKYSENIOR WRITER

John Groce only has one true freshman on his roster, but he feels like he’s carrying 14.

Since the new regime took over, the first-year head coach and his staff have been busy teaching their style of offense, defense and team identity to every member of the Illini basket-ball team. From senior guard Bran-don Paul to freshman Mike LaTu-lip, it’s everyone’s first go-around at Groce’s hoops philosophy.

So when the lights go on at Assem-bly Hall on Monday for the Orange and Blue Scrimmage, Illinois bas-ketball will officially be in-season, and Groce will finally get to unveil

his system.“The biggest thing I expect on

Monday is that we compete our tails off,” Groce said. “That’s the big-gest thing. That, and that we play together.”

Those goals follow the mantra, which by the way is also brand new. Groce has tried to drill “toughness and togetherness” in his team’s head since Day One, when he hand-ed out wristbands on the first day of practice with the phrase abbrevi-ated on one side and the first day of the NCAA tournament — 3/19/13 — etched on the other. The team still wears them at all hours of the day, and on Monday, Groce will be look-ing for the translation of that mes-sage on the court.

“This is an important a time as any in the entire basketball season,” Groce said. “You start to develop your identity. You start to, in this case with a new team, teach an

offense and a defense.”The team will split into two squads

and play three eight-minute scrim-mages. After each round, Groce plans on mixing up the teams to get a feel for what players interact best in the same lineup. While there’s no specific matchup Groce is closely analyzing, he intends to grade out each player indi-vidually on transi-tion, post and ball-screen defense, as well as positioning and how well each player jumps to the ball off rebounds.

The Illini have officially been prac-ticing since Oct. 12, but a new NCAA regulation allowed for teams to hold eight one-hour workouts over the summer and a specified number of

team and individual workouts once school started, so Groce has had ample time to work with his team on adapting to his system.

“Being a senior and being a lead-er for the team, I just want to see some stuff we’ve practiced,” senior guard D.J. Rich-ardson said. “We’ve only had a chance to practice for about a week now and just to see some of the stuff we’ve been going through looks legit. We just want

to show people what we’re going to be looking like for this year coming up.”

The most popular word to describe Groce’s offense seems to be tempo.

Donohue secures final spot for Big Ten Champs

Strong finish for Illinois women’s cross-country

BY DAN ESCALONACONTRIBUTING WRITER

In Friday’s home finale for the Illinois men’s cross-country team, the final roster spot for the Big Ten Championships was on the line.

Sophomore Mark Donohue secured the final spot after finishing ahead of redshirt freshman David Eckhart in the Illinois Open’s 8K race at the UI Arboretum.

“I was impressed with Mark’s ability to com-pete and perform in such an important race for him,” head coach Jake Stewart said. “He has come on very well in his previous meets, so it was no surprise to me that he ran a strong race.”

Donohue was the first Illinois runner to finish, with a time of 26:02, placing third overall. Eck-hart, the only other runner to compete in an Illi-nois uniform, came in fourth with a time of 26:05.

Donohue on Sunday will run in his third race in as many weeks at the Big Ten Championships, which will be held in East Lansing, Mich. Stew-art said Donohue has a tough challenge ahead of him to contribute effectively, as most of the Illi-ni and others will be coming off a week of rest.

But the first-year coach still said Donohue has a great opportunity.

Sophomore Colette Falsey was still beaming 20 minutes after the Illini Open at the Arbore-tum on Friday. She finished first out of 34 run-ners to improve her chances at solidifying a spot on the conference roster.

Illinois, after placing four of its six runners in the top 10, finished second overall with 36 pionts to Midwest powerhouse Bradley, which earned 33. Eastern Illinois recorded 62 points to place third.

“I hear that I’m on the list now,” Falsey said of her standing on the Big Ten team. “I’ve been having a rough season, but today I came back, and it was a good day for me.”

Head coach Jeremy Rasmussen said Falsey and the team performed admirably.

“She went out and competed really well and ran the best race she’s had all year and that was a big positive for her,” Rasmussen said.

“I thought they did a pretty good job,” he added. “I think they competed well and pushed each other and really stuck to the race goal.”

The team kept to its race plan of staying together for most of the competition, with Falsey, junior Rachel Irion and freshman Lind-sey Rakosnik finishing first, third and fourth, respectively.

“I think we did good,” Falsey said. “And it felt great especially being on our home course, it was good to feel good today.”

Falsey led the field with a time of 18 min-utes, 46 seconds at the Illini’s 5K course. Iri-on finished in 19:00, Rakosnik completed the race with a time of 19:04, and Hynes came in at 19:15.

“I think they did a good job of just kind of taking the race over,” Rasmussen said. “And they did a really good job of working togeth-er. They had the confidence to go to the front and to lead from the front, and I think that was really good.”

“I think we just need to continue to learn how to be competitive within everybody’s own indi-vidual race and that will allow us to have the success we want to have as a team,” Rasmussen said. He added that he hasn’t yet decided who will compete at Sunday’s conference meet in East Lansing, Mich., because he doesn’t know how many roster spots will be open.

Seniors shine on Sunday, end 3-game losing streakBY GINA MUELLERSTAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s soccer team broke its three-game los-ing streak Sunday by defeating Nebraska 4-1 on senior day.

After Thursday night’s loss against Northwestern, the Illi-ni found themselves in danger of losing their spot in the Big Ten Tournament. With only two games left in the conference season, it was vital for Illinois to come away with a win against the Cornhuskers. Senior Shayla Mutz said the energy from the start of the game felt different.

“Pretty much we knew it was do-or-die time,” she said. “We were ready to just do it. We came out with urgency and were relentless. That’s what we are capable of, so it’s nice to final-ly bring it to the field.”

Mutz returned to the starting lineup on Sun-day after being held out of the past two competitions. She made her return known by scoring the first goal of the game in the 20th minute after recovering a turn-over in Nebraska’s 18-yard box. Only five minutes later, Mutz found the back of the net again off of a flip throw-in from fresh-man Nicole Breece.

“We knew her minutes were going to be limited,” Illinois head coach Janet Rayfield said. “I think it just shows her com-

petitiveness and it’s contagious. I think we were so excited to see her get that goal, it immediately lifted the energy. As much as she has been frustrated not being out on the field, I think her team-mates have been frustrated not having her, and it was certainly a celebration in a lot of ways.”

Illinois totaled 16 shots dur-ing the first half to Nebraska’s three. Half of the 16 were on goal and two were counted as tallies. Senior goalkeeper Steph Panozzo only made one save dur-ing the first 45 minutes. Though the Illini were offensively stronger than the Cornhusk-

ers, in the 39th minute, Mayme Conroy tallied the only goal for Nebraska off of a failed clearance from the Illinois defensive line.

Nebraska goal-keeper Emma Stevens kept an unusual stance for most of the game, stand-ing outside of the 18-yard box close to the half-

field mark. This allowed Illinois many opportunities to chip shots over Stevens head into an emp-ty net. Stevens relied heavily on her defense to make saves when she challenged an offen-sive player. With two minutes left in the first half, a Cornhusk-er defender had to sprint to the goal and slide tackle the ball just before it crossed the goal line for another Illinois tally.

“It’s a tactical style that they

play and it’s high-risk, high-reward,” Rayfield said. “They play their backs and try to get you under pressure and expect her to pick up a lot of things that get played in behind. I think in the first half it was actually eas-ier for them because the ball rolls to her and doesn’t really have to make that decision. In the second half, the wind sort of held the balls up and let us get to it. ... I think sometimes it pays off for them and sometimes it makes them vulnerable.”

The Illini tallied two more goals in the second half to make the final score 4-1. Junior Van-essa DiBernardo clinched her sixth goal of the season on a long range shot over the goal-keeper. This goal makes DiBer-nardo the lead scorer. Mutz follows with three goals and there is three-way tie for third between Breece, senior Nicole Denenberg and senior Marissa Holden with two goals. Senior Niki Read earned her first goal of the season only two minutes into the second half on a break away. Though she hasn’t been present as a leader in statistics, she has shown leadership in oth-er ways.

“It’s kind of hard not putting points on the board your senior year,” Read said. “You start wondering what you are bring-ing to the game and it just gets in your head. What I bring to the team this year obviously wasn’t the goals. I’m happy to at least get on the board once this sea-son, and doing it on senior night is kind of symbolic because this was my last time on the field and I wasn’t going to leave without

putting something on the board.”Illinois now sits sixth (5-4-

1) in the Big Ten with only one match left to play before the Big Ten Tournament. Its opponent will be the Michigan Wolver-ines, who currently sit second in the Big Ten (7-1-2). The con-fidence from the Nebraska vic-tory will need to be carried into the Illini’s next performance.

“We tell them every win is a

chance to play another game,” Rayfield said. “That’s certain-ly true heading into Michigan. We’re just trying to go at this one game at a time. ... We’ll cer-tainly go into Michigan with the same energy, the same effort and the same confidence that we had (Sunday).”

Illinois swimmer Kathleen Knight turns at the wall during the 200-yard butterfly event during Illinois' 169-131 loss to Northwestern at the ARC on Friday. Knight won the 200 and 100 fly.

trast to a Nebraska lineup of four seniors and two juniors. After the loss, however, the Illini shrugged off the notion that experience played a role.

“I mean, it’s no excuse,” Stark said. “We have the talent to match up against their older classmen, so I don’t think that’s a factor at all.”

That talent was more evident in the second set, as Illinois came out as a different team and turned the match into a dogfight. The Illini grabbed their first lead at 3-2, building a five-point advan-tage midway through the set. But they were unable to hold on, as the Cornhuskers showed their resil-iency by battling back to tie the set and taking a 19-17 lead late. Try-ing to stop the bleeding, Hambly spent his last timeout, and Illinois clawed back to 24-23, but Nebraska outside hitter Hannah Werth beat down a kill that sent the Illini into the break down 2-0.

“I think we needed to get that second set,” Hambly said. “I think that was one that we needed to get to get some confidence and feel like we could play with this team. We had our opportunities, and we errored out of it.”

The third set brought more of the same. Illinois remained com-petitive early, but 10 hitting errors and a balanced Cornhusker attack proved too much, and Nebraska gradually pulled away for a 25-16 victory to clinch the sweep.

The contrast in balance on the attack between the two teams was striking. Spearheaded by senior setter Lauren Cook, Nebraska hit .310 on the match, no Nebraska hit-ter recorded more than 27 attacks or had more than 10 kills, but four players finished with more than seven kills and hit over .290.

“They don’t really have a star, they have a bunch of stars,” Ham-bly said. “They all play their roles well. It’s a very good and well-bal-anced team.”

Illinois freshman setter Alex-is Viliunas, on the other hand, fed much of the team’s offense through outside hitter Jocelynn Birks, who finished with 13 kills and 11 errors on 45 attacks for a .044 hitting percentage. Nebras-ka out-blocked Illinois, holding it to just a .147 hitting percentage on the day.

He’s amped it up. The new coach used a bulk of his workout ses-sions to focus on conditioning, assuring his team would be ready to adjust to his attacking style of play based on running in transition. As a standard, Groce required every member of the team to run a mile under 5 min-utes and 45 seconds ... at 6 a.m. But after all the groans, senior guard Brandon Paul said the conditioning has paid off. The Orange and Blue Scrimmage will show off a more intense brand of Illini basketball for it.

“I think everyone is going to try and go a little too fast at first, but once we all settle down, you’re going to see a different kind of pace to everything,” sophomore center Nnanna Egwu said. “There’s a different kind of pace from play to play, from setting to setting. There’s a lot quicker flow out there with (Groce).”

with the Illinois Open. Stewart said Eckhart can improve on his training regiment to continue to progress into next season. The redshirt freshman will have the luxury to train with a permanent coach this offseason, as opposed to the previous year in which the runners did much of their train-ing on their own.

Now that there is no longer a coaching vacancy, Stewart will take a more assertive role in the offseason training programs for various runners, especially Eckhart.

“As a distance runner, David came in to the season in great shape following an aggressive offseason training regiment,” Stewart said. “Looking back, though, he trained probably a bit too aggressively, and it is my job to help him develop a stron-ger and more effective training program.”

Donohue and Eckhart were the only runners competing in uni-form for Illinois. Will Brewster and Luke Carroll ran unattached; Brewster finished first overall with a time of 25:48, while Car-roll placed second in the meet with a time of 25:57.

“The performances by both Will and Luke were very good signs for both runners,” Stewart said. “I expect it to be a boost of confidence for both guys as they enter the track season and enter the offseason for cross-country.”

For Donohue and the rest of Illi-nois’ traveling roster, the season continues with the Big Ten Cham-pionships on Oct. 28.

Hockey sweeps Central Oklahoma in weekend games

Illini swim team loses in season opener despite early momentum

Packers kick offense into high gear in triumph in St. LouisBY R.B. FALLSTROMTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS — One week after he tied a franchise mark with six touchdown passes, Aaron Rod-gers took down a couple more records during another impres-sive performance.

Rodgers threw for 342 yards and three more scores and the Green Bay Packers’ depleted defense clamped down on St. Louis in a 30-20 victory on Sun-day that was the Rams’ first home loss of the year.

Randall Cobb caught two touchdown passes and Jordy Nelson had eight receptions for

a season-best 122 yards for the Packers (4-3). Rookie Casey Hay-ward made his first start in place of injured Sam Shields and inter-cepted his fourth pass in three games.

“Winning is fun,” said Nel-son, who had a 3-yard TD catch in the first quarter. “That’s why we play games. It’s great to win back-to-back games, it sounds great to say that for the first time this year, but we’ve got to stack success.”

Backed by a huge contingent of cheeseheads who were every bit as loud as the real home fans, Rodgers directed Green Bay to

its second consecutive turn-over-free game. He now has 150 career TD passes and 42 inter-ceptions, breaking Dan Marino’s NFL record for fewest intercep-tions at that milestone. Marino had 69 interceptions when he threw his 150th TD pass.

“This is one of the shorter trips for some of our fans, which is still a jaunt,” said Rodgers, who trot-ted off the field to a huge ovation. “I think it’s probably eight hours if you’re busting the speed limit a little bit.

“The chants are incredible and the boos that we had on one of those calls from our fans was

incredible. It was louder than the cheers for the Rams.”

Rodgers was 30 for 37, setting a single-game franchise comple-tion record of 81.1 percent with a minimum of 35 attempts. He has guided the Packers to touch-downs on 12 of 14 trips inside the 20 over the last four games.

“I think their plan was to dink and dunk and catch us off guard,” Rams cornerback Cort-land Finnegan said. “They made the plays when they needed to.”

Steven Jackson ran for his first touchdown of the year, and just the Rams’ 10th overall, to trim the deficit to a touchdown midway

through the fourth quarter. But Rodgers made a terrific throw to Cobb for a 39-yard pass that put the Packers up by two scores with 3:06 remaining.

The Rams (3-4) will surrender home-field advantage next week when they travel to London to play the Patriots. The team flies out on Monday.

Chris Givens had a 56-yard reception for St. Louis on a screen pass in the fourth quar-ter, his fourth straight game with a 50-yard plus reception. Fellow rookie Greg Zuerlein kicked a 50-yard field goal and is now 5 for 7 from 50-plus yards out.

In its first dual meet of the sea-son, the Illinois swimming and diving team fell against North-western, but the atmosphere on Friday hardly indicated an upset.

With a score of 169-131 , the Illini held the Wildcats to a clos-er score than last year’s 199-101 defeat. Illinois started the meet with a first-place finish in the 400 medley with a time of 3 minutes, 52.96 seconds. Two events later, Illini swimmers finished first, third and fourth in the 200 free, charging the pool with excite-ment and a promise of a com-petitive meet.

“This year, we were just like, ‘Let’s go out there like we’ve got nothing to lose,’” said Courtney Pope, who finished first in the 200 free with a time of 1:52:28. “Then, in the 200, we beat them and we were like: ‘We can do this. We can beat Northwestern.’”

But the Wildcats would catch up to deliver another season-

opening loss for the Illini. Both head coach Sue Novitsky and assistant coach Steve Farnau agreed that the team made a lot of progress since last season.

“It was a back-and-forth com-petitive meet, and that’s what we’ve been talking about since Day One,” Novitsky said. “There were a couple of events where we were getting swept, and they didn’t let Northwestern take their power away.

Kathleen Knight finished the meet with wins in the 100 and 200 fly, with times of 57.13 and 2:04.19, respectively. Erica Lynn won the 100 and 200 breast in 1:05.63 and 2:21.32.

“(Knight and Lynn) stepped up really well for us,” Novitsky said. “They did a great job of keep-ing their poise and, as they were stepping up on the block, they knew it was a big moment, and they were able to come through.”

Along with Knight and Lynn, freshmen Megan Marchuk and Lori Lynn were members of the winning 400-medley team.

“The freshmen stepped up and performed really well today. It’s always exciting to see new ath-letes on your team compete,” Farnau said. “A little nerves for their first college meet, but I think they handled it well.”

Knight said finding swings in momentum was key for Illinois. Whether it was the freshmen or the upperclassmen, the meet was about who was going to step up and get the team moving in a for-ward direction.

Despite a loss, the swimmers won’t change their plan next week against Michigan State.

“It’s easy to come in with a team (Northwestern) where you know things are going to be really competitive anyways,” Knight said. “It’s easy to fall off (to Michigan State), so everyone needs to be as sharp as they were today, same mentality and we can really do a thing of business next week.”

After a tough week of practice following a sweep by Arizona, the Illinois hockey team returned to form against Central Oklahoma, taking both games over the weekend series.

Despite absences of senior defenseman Anthony Carlsen, junior defenseman Ben Burbridge and sophomore forward Mario Pacheco, the Illini (9-2-2) took each game by a margin of three goals apiece.

“We had a pretty strong weekend, especially on defense,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. “Our performance was a lot better than last weekend. I think we corrected a lot of mistakes we made last weekend that led to goals.”

Friday night’s series opener saw Illinois establish control of the game early, taking a two-goal lead in the first period, never looking back. The Illini’s defense became increasingly more suffocating as the game went on, allowing a total of six shots over the final two periods of play. Junior goaltender Nick Clarke finished the game stopping 18 of 19 shots, leading to a 4-1 win.

“With each game and each practice we’re learning what we do well,” Fabbrini said. “We were winning battles, getting pucks to the net and moving our feet and using our speed. It’s going to be very important for us to keep doing that moving forward.”

Saturday’s contest produced a similar result, as Illinois once again took a multigoal lead early, finishing Central Oklahoma off 5-2. Junior forward Matt Welch found the back of the net twice over the weekend, using his

6-foot-1 frame to wreak havoc in front of the Bronchos’ net. The Illini’s presence in front of the net was one of Fabbrini’s key points of emphasis for his team.

“We spent a lot of time on getting guys in front of the net in practice this week,” Fabbrini said. “That’s where you’re going to have to go to score goals. It’s not fun — you’re going to take a hit, but you’re also going to get rewarded, and Welch got rewarded two times this weekend.”

Welch’s two goals were his first of the year. With four points on the year, he is currently on pace to break his career high in goals

(four) and points (nine). Welch attributes his new role on the power play as key to his recent success.

“Coach put me on the power play this weekend, which helped boost my confidence a lot out there,” he said. “With

(sophomore forward Derek Schultz) missing, I need to step up and fill that role.”

Illinois seemed to come together as a team in the two wins, as six players contributed to the nine goals scored against Central Oklahoma. Senior defenseman Mike Evans and sophomore forward Kyle Varzino scored goals for the first time this year.

“I definitely think we’re coming together as a team,” senior forward Scott Barrera said. “We did a lot more communicating and talking this week in practice, so it was only a matter of time before everyone started producing.”

Illinois will prepare for its first road series of the season against Iowa State this weekend.

we’re learning what we do well.”
