Illinois’ McFadden makes marathon historyBY CHARLOTTE CARROLLCONTRIBUTING WRITER

The chill in the wind and the prospect of fl at tires proved no match for senior Tatyana McFad-den as she fi nished fi rst in Sun-day’s ING New York Marathon women’s wheelchair division, achieving an unprecedented Grand Slam of the Boston, Lon-don, Chicago and New York mar-athons in the same year.

Setting a personal course record, Illinois’ McFadden won the race in 1 hour, 59 minutes and 13 seconds, fi nishing nearly four minutes ahead of runner-up Wakako Tsuchida of Japan.

Teammate Amanda McGrory, who won the race when it was last held in 2011, fi nished fourth at 2:05:06.

McFadden was hoping to avoid a fl at tire Sunday, which plagued her in the 2009 and 2011 races of

the New York Marathon.“I mean, a few times during

the race, as I hit a few bumps, I was like: ‘Oh, no, this is going to come again; I’m going to get a fl at; this is great,’” McFadden said in a press release. “But I just quickly looked at my tires and saw (the tires) were still rolling and saw they were OK.

“Then I just had to stay calm. If I fl at, I fl at. I have time to change it since I was in the lead.”

She added that she always straps on a spare tire.

This win is another addition to McFadden’s growing list of ath-letic accomplishments, which includes a 2010 New York Mara-thon victory.

Born in St. Petersburg, Rus-sia, with spina bifi da, a congenital disease that paralyzed her from the waist down, McFadden was adopted by Debbie McFadden in

1994. After coming to the U.S., she dived right into sports, including swimming, basketball and track and has since become an excep-tional all-around athlete.

A 10-time Paralympics track medalist with three gold medals to her name, McFadden has com-peted in the Athens, Beijing and London Paralympics games. But it was not until 2009 that she started racing marathons.

“It’s taken me a long time to get where I am,” McFadden said. “I didn’t just wake up and this all happened. So it’s just about the training and taking the time and to really develop my muscles and develop the sprint aspect and developing endurance and try to put those together.”

The hours of training and dedi-cation have paid off with McFad-den becoming the fi rst person — paralyzed or otherwise — to

complete a marathon Grand Slam.Balancing the life of a full-time

student at the University with her athletics, McFadden faced fatigue and a rib injury before the Chica-go race. In addition, the London marathon was merely six days after the Boston race, while the New York race took place only weeks after Chicago.

Nervous that the pain would return, McFadden spent the time in between managing her nutri-tion and getting plenty of rest.

“The training the past couple of weeks were really good, so I felt confi dent,” McFadden said. “And whatever happened, I told myself on Sunday, I did everything that I could do; just believe in myself and just hit all the strength on the course.”

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and the College of ACES announced Friday that the University has received a $25 million federal grant from the U.S. Agency for Internation-al Development to increase the food supply in five Afri-can countries by improving soybean yields.

University agricultural economist Peter Goldsmith will lead the team of univer-sities and nongovernmen-tal research organizations working on this project, offi-cially titled the Feed the Future Innovation Laborato-ry for Soybean Value Chain Research.

Durbin has a special con-nection to the project, as he helped bring the National Soy-bean Research Laboratory to the University in the late 1990s and has secured over $5.2 million in funding for soybean research.

“These (Morrow) plots and research labs are examples of the University of Illinois’ long tradition of using agricultural research to help farmers in Illinois and across the United

States and people around the world,” he said.

Durbin also said the project is significant for him because he’s visited Africa so many times throughout his Congres-sional career.

“The potential for develop-ment and rapid growth always seems so far away for those who haven’t visited,” he said. “But those of us who have been there know better.”

Currently, 38 percent of the population of Ethiopia lives below the poverty line. Forty-four percent of Ethiopian chil-dren under the age of 5 are failing to grow, in part due to lack of proper nutrition. How-ever, in the past 10 years, six of the fastest growing econo-mies in the world have been in Africa, and Durbin sees a new middle class rising.

“This is a continent that’s in real evolution,” he said. “We need to make sure that middle class of tomorrow is well-fed, well-educated and well-pre-pared to lead the world.”

This is the first USAID-sup-ported soybean research pro-gram, Goldsmith said.

Gripping the microphone, Grouplove guitarist Christian Zucconi’s lime green fi ngernail polish shone under the stage light.

“You guys know what this tour’s about?” he asked the crowd. “It’s about being green.”

Hannah Hooper, band vocalist and keyboard player, stood next to him dressed in a full body skel-eton suit and chimed in.

“This tour is about making a difference,” Hooper said. “Pick up some garbage. Smoke a joint. Make a compost pile.”

***The indie pop band’s concert

at Foellinger Auditorium on Fri-

day night was part of the Campus Consciousness Tour. A non-prof-it group called REVERB orga-nized the tour. This year, it was joined by an organization called the Rainforest Alliance, a group that aims to educate students on college campuses about envi-ronment sustainability and get them to take action by submit-ting a “green idea” to the tour for a chance to win $10,000.

Seven hours before the show, members of the band joined stu-dents in front of Foellinger to make a sustainability-themed mural in the “eco-village” tents the Rainforest Alliance set up.

“It’s been really cool to be part of a cause you really believe in,

even before the tour started,” Zuc-coni said.

He said although lines in their music didn’t directly relate to sus-tainability, the theme of coming of age and self-discovery was prom-inent, and environmental change was a part that.

“I think people should learn about sustainability and go through their own process of ques-tioning the things around them and what they can do to change the world,” Zucconi said.

Bryce Dorn, junior in computer science and ad designer for Star Course — the concert-planning registered student organization that brought Grouplove to campus — said he was happy the band sup-

ported eco-friendly initiatives.“I personally am glad that the

tour is eco-friendly,” Dorn said. “There really aren’t too many organizations that do that with music and it’s cool that they care.”

Grouplove promotes going green

BY MEGAN JONESSTAFF WRITER

The Illinois Student Senate’s private Facebook group may have breached the Illinois Open Meetings Act as select members, who met quorum, took part in dis-cussions online.

Jenny Baldwin, vice presi-dent-internal, said discussions occurred without executive board oversight, and Timmy Knudsen, former vice president-external, said many of the dis-cussions were typical of those found in any other RSO’s Face-book group.

According to 2010 research by the Student Press Law Center, there are few guidelines to pre-dict whether student government meetings would be required to

abide by the Open Meetings Act. However, in the Illinois Student Senate constitution, the senate is required to follow all provisions of the act, in accordance with their long term goals of trans-parency and inclusiveness.

“We are glad The Daily Illi-ni brought this matter to the senate’s immediate attention. The Senate will move to open the group for public comment at Wednesday’s meeting under President (Damani) Bolden’s leadership,” said Carey Ash, stu-dent senator as well as law and doctoral student. “This way, our fellow Illini will be able to con-stantly communicate with their elected leaders, any place, any time.”

A senator created the group

following spring elections, but some staff and executive board members, including the direc-tor of communications, were not included.

During Knudsen’s resignation at Wednesday’s ISS meeting, he mentioned how he felt like an out-sider when he was contacted by senators with concerns regard-ing the Facebook group. He said that on the Facebook page, sena-tors had shelled groups of constit-uents out from receiving infor-mation, even including the name of one of these constituents.

Knudsen said a majority of senators are great student lead-ers who are there for the right reasons, but some need to focus on their roles and rethink why they ran for senate.

“Some people view it as a very political body, yet we are a school. We have the ability to make little impacts that can help students greatly, and I just want them to focus on that as opposed to posi-tioning themselves for a larger role later,” Knudsen said. “It’s really the politics of it that fl ogs a few students from having a posi-tive impact on the University.”

Baldwin said the Facebook group was started with “inno-cent” intentions in mind and is similar to groups other RSOs would create. She said it was a way for all other ISS members to interact more with each oth-er on Facebook because the only other time they see each other is at meetings.

“However, we are obviously a

voice and an image of the stu-dent body,” Knudsen said. “The Facebook group is a hiccup in trying to work toward complete transparency.”

Former student senator Mark Rosenstein, graduate student, said this type of behavior from the senate does not surprise him

and that many were using the group to criticize former sena-tors. Rosenstein was involved in Caucus, an ad-hoc group within the senate that was not quite “offi -cial,” where senators were strong advocates in questioning the stu-

The Illinois Open Meetings Act requires that whenever a public body meets quorum, which members of the Facebook group did, they are required to provide documents such as minutes and pre-meeting agendas. In the senate’s constitution under Article 7: Meetings of the Illinois Student Senate, Item D, it is stated: “Illinois Student Senate should follow all provisions of the Illinois Open

Meetings Act.” “This has been a part of their constitution for quite some time,” said Rhonda Kirts, Illinois Student Senate advisor. Within the OMA, “meeting” means any gathering, whether in person or by video or audio conference, telephone calls, or electronic communications such as instant messages or electronic mail.

The Mahomet Aquifer Protec-tion Alliance held an event Satur-day to update community mem-bers on efforts to address potential groundwater contamination.

An aquifer is an underground layer of materials such as sand or fractured rock where water can be extracted from using a well. The Mahomet Aquifer sup-plies clean water to 14 counties in Illinois, including Champaign County.

The event focused on a coali-tion of agencies’ attempts to obtain sole source designation for the aquifer in response to Clinton Landfi ll, Inc.’s installation of a

chemical-waste landfi ll above it. Sole Source designation protects an area’s groundwater resource by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to review cer-tain proposed projects within the designated area, according to the EPA’s website.

Champaign County and the University are members of the coalition.

The coalition hired the fi rm Layne Hydro to study and sub-mit the application for Sole Source designation. The application was submitted in December and is cur-rently under review.

“I firmly believe that (the Mahomet Aquifer) qualifi es under the defi nition,” said Allen Weh-

rmann, project consultant for Layne Hydro. “Whether or not it should be (designated as a Sole Source) is a question for the pub-lic and the EPA.”

The Layne Hydro report con-cludes that although “there are potential alternative sources of water to the Mahomet Aquifer for some communities and pub-lic water suppliers, there are no economically feasible alternative sources.”

Approximately 100 communi-ty members attended the event, which featured speakers includ-ing Illinois senators Michael Frerichs , D-52, and Chapin Rose , R-Mahomet.

“I thought it was just a ter-

rifi c event,” said Steve Carter, retired city manager and mem-ber of the Protection Alliance. “It was very successful. It was a new venture for the group ... we had a great turnout with pretty broad representation.”

Because the region is dependent on the Mahomet Aquifer, local governments do not want to risk potential contamination, Carter said. Clinton Landfi ll Inc. could not be reached for comment by press time; however, according to their website, the waste that will be put in the landfi ll will be han-dled appropriately through con-tact with state and EPA offi cials.

“It poses a small risk certain-ly not in my lifetime or even of

the lifetime of the next genera-tion, but down, down the road, who knows,” Wehrmann said. “My feel-ing is basically, ‘Why put it over the aquifer and entertain any risk at all?’ Let’s put it over some place where it’s not over a major, region-al water supply.”

Champaign Mayor Don Gerard said some are concerned about unintended consequences, such as companies not wanting to build in the area because of stricter reg-ulations that will come with Sole Source designation.

“If you’re going to bring an industry here that could poten-tially ruin our aquifer — our water supply — then that’s the point of it being sole source,” Gerard said.

Although designating the Mahomet Aquifer as a Sole Source aquifer will protect it from fed-erally-funded projects that could harm the resource, it does not pro-tect it from private projects. Still, Wehrmann thinks this will raise awareness and lead people to be more careful.

Carter anticipates the EPA will hold a public forum early next year before they reach a deci-sion about the Mahomet Aquifer’s status. He also said the Mahomet Protection Alliance will consider hosting more events to keep the community updated.

Exclamations of laughter and excitement bounced off the walls of the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum as children gathered for the Institute for Genomic Biology’s Genome Day on Saturday.

More than 480 people attend-ed this year and were assisted by more than 100 volunteers made up mostly of faculty members and graduate students.

“As a public land grant uni-versity, we recognize that public engagement and outreach is very important,” said Melissa McKil-lip, director of development and outreach at the institute.

Genome Day hosted more than a dozen “adventure stations” to get kids involved in and learn more about various aspects of science including bioenergy, selective breeding, genomes and cell types. Upon completion of each activi-

ty, the children would get a let-ter stamped into their bright red “Stamp-It Pass” pamphlets that in the end would declare, “I am a genome expert.”

One adventure station was titled “Dancing with Plants” and allowed kids to stand in front of a giant green screen and imitate the movements that plants make as they respond to their environment.

Another activity exposed kids to DNA extraction. DNA from banan-as and strawberries was removed by mushing up the fruit and mix-ing it with a dish-soap-like solu-tion, which then caused the cells to break open and release every-thing inside, including the genom-ic DNA, said station volunteer Thom Mand, graduate student.

Mand said he attended events like this as a child and always enjoyed watching “science in action.” He said it was those types of activities that infl uenced his

decision in wanting to become a scientist and hopes occasions like Genome Day inspire other chil-dren to pursue the fi eld as well.

This was the event’s second year and McKillip explained next year’s Genome Day is already scheduled for Nov. 1, 2014.

Genome Day is going be the institute’s annual fall semester outreach event, McKillip said. She explained that some activities may change, while others are adjust-ed and some, “the favorites,” will return each year.

“I liked all of them,” said Lily Wedig, student at Bottenfi eld Ele-mentary School. When asked if she would return next year, Wedig nodded with an enthusiastic “yes.”

One new activity that took place this year was Reebop, which was hosted by Project NEURON. At this station, children selected traits from cups to build offspring and see what it would look like in

the end. It helped kids learn that although traits come from the par-ents, ultimately the offspring nev-er looks exactly like the parents, said station volunteer Rob Wallon, graduate student.

“There are lots of important advancements in this fi eld that are really important for everyone to know,” said Barbara Hug, clini-cal associate professor in Educa-tion who volunteered with Project NEURON. “And we integrate sci-ences so everyone can learn these ideas.”

While everyone was invited to attend, the primary audience was children in kindergarten through fourth grade. And Nicholas Vasi, director of communications, said there were both English and Span-ish-speaking volunteers at each of the 15 activities to reach out to a broader portion of the community.

“The main idea was to get some of the information about these

areas of science out to the younger community, get them interested ... maybe establish a love or interest in science at a younger age,” Vasi said. “It’s a way for us to give back to the community and allow them to interact with our faculty, our

staff and our students and learn about some of the great things that are happening at our university and at IGB.”

The Champaign-Urbana area celebrated its fi fth annual Folk and Roots Festival on Friday and Saturday. The C-U Folk and Roots Festival took place with-in several blocks of downtown Urbana for a weekend trans-forming a variety of Urbana’s local businesses into harmoni-ous music venues. Locations included local bars, such as The Iron Post, Rose Bowl Tavern and Buvons Wine Bar, as well as more family-friendly loca-tions, such as the Urbana Land-mark Hotel, Heartland Gallery and Urbana-Champaign Inde-pendent Media Center.

According to Matt Winters, booking chair for the festival and University assistant professor of political science, this year’s fes-tival’s mission was to build on the success of past festivals while staying true to its folk roots.

“This year, we (did) a lot of the things we normally do and (continued) to build on what has worked for us in the past,” Win-ters said. “I think the festival has done a great job of grow-ing each year but at the same time staying true to its founding commitments.”

These founding commitments include paying homage to the rich tradition of folk music, storytelling and dance in Cen-tral Illinois. This year’s festi-val showcased an assortment of unique genres of music, such as alternative country, bluegrass, blues, ragtime, swing, folk-rock, Irish, Celtic, gypsy jazz and Mexican folk.

On Friday night, Los Guapos, a three-piece band from Cham-paign, played for an engaged crowd at Buvons, located at 203 N. Vine St. in Urbana. This musical group combined rhyth-mic and melodic elements from

Afro-Cuban, jazz, salsa and dub music to create a distinc-tive musical sound all their own. Champaign-native Amy Byrum took her daughter Diza to this performance, where she said the pair shared a lovely night of music and dance.

“She told me they actually cured her of her shyness. She got up and danced the entire show; we had an awesome time,” Byrum said.

Along with a variety of musical acts, the festival also showcased an array of talented storytellers, including world-renowned story-teller Dan Keding.

Keding has won numerous awards for his mastery in sto-rytelling, including nine Story-telling World Awards and two Anne Izard Storytelling Choice Awards. Catherine Trofi muk, junior in Education, was one of the attendees at Keding’s performance.

“I really enjoyed the story-telling, and think that the Folk and Roots Festival did an awe-some job of getting great talent to come to Champaign-Urbana,” she said.

The festival also held educa-tional workshops, which festi-val-goers could attend to learn different skills such as “reading an audience during storytelling” and “how to play a washboard as a musical instrument.”

The C-U Folk and Roots Fes-tival is a community-driven event set up entirely by volun-teers. Brenda Koenig said she has been volunteering at the C-U Folk and Roots Festival since it began in 2008. She now serves as chair of the festival’s steer-ing committee.

“Attendance has been up from previous years, but what has impressed me the most from this year’s festival was the talent level of musicians we were able

to get,” Koenig said. “We have some crazy-good talent from all across the country, and I’m real-ly glad to see people coming out

and enjoying the work we put in.”

“It will fill a significant void of sorely needed research for a region that has too long lan-

guished in poverty, low agricul-tural productivity and malnu-trition,” he said.

Robert Hauser, dean of the College of ACES, is also excited about the work that this team will be doing.

“Fundamental to economic growth ... is a strong agricul-tural economy,” he said. “Once you have that in place, the rest of the economy can grow.”

The goal of the Feed the Future team is to provide suf-

ficient food to the world’s pop-ulation. According to Feed the Future 2010 Global Food Research Strategy, providing sufficient food to the world’s growing population will require a 70 percent increase of glob-

al agricultural production by 2050 to reduce global poverty and hunger.

“We pride ourselves in being a land grant university with a huge research mission and global impact,” Chancel-

lor Phyllis Wise said. “This is what the world expects of the University of Illinois, and this is what we’re committed to do.”

to improve the lives of farm work-ers, while conserving natural resources and wildlife. She said

the organization used the frog as a symbol because it was an indica-tor of when something was wrong with an ecosystem; when an eco-system starts to fail, frogs are one of the fi rst species to die off.

“We’re trying to encourage stu-

dents to become a part of the sus-tainability solution by demanding sustainable options on their cam-puses,” Clark said. “Students are often starting their morning off with a cup of coffee or tea, they may be printing their assign-

ments on paper, and these prod-ucts can come from sustainable sources.”

***“This tour is about being a good

person because good people do good things, and then we can all

hang out together,” Hooper said.“We are right now, there is

some group love in this room,” Zucconi added.

Three encore songs later, the band linked arms and gave each other a group hug. When they

walked off stage, the lights went up and the Beatles song “All You Need is Love” played through the loudspeakers.

dent government and their lack of fi scal responsibility.

“A lot of senators did not take too kindly to that. Senators have come out and said that former senators should not be on the (ISS) listserv anymore,” Rosen-stein said. “So, from the looks

of it, they are more interested in protecting their own personal interest instead of serving their constituents.”

Though the senate has made many attempts to rewrite its con-

stitution, he said everything cir-cles “back to this,” and the group should be dissolved and restarted from scratch.

“No matter what the leader-ship is, it circles back to total cha-

os and becomes a ‘gentlemen’s club,’” Rosenstein said. “People form groups and look out for each other’s best interests and when someone comes along and is crit-ical of the establishment, they

don’t take kindly to that and work to their full ability to shut those people out.”

OMAFROM 1A

I recognize it is your choice to determine what liquids you ingest. Likewise, I’d expect you

not to care what I choose to ingest, either.

Which is why I’m going to take this opportunity to call people out on the uproar that occurs when I utter these three special words: “I don’t drink.”

Oh my goodness. The cat’s out of the bag. I’ll give you a second to let the gasping, furrowing of brows and disbelief pass.

And after I make this state-ment, without a doubt, there’s the usual onslaught of questions and comments:

“I respect that.”“Oh, I get it. Pretending to be

drunk is fun.”“So what do you do?”People’s “respect” for the fact

that I don’t drink is highly unnec-essary. It’s just a random offhand comment that people make because they probably feel awkward and might not know what to say.

And frankly, it makes me feel

uncomfortable as well. I am not repressing this deep

dark desire to drink alcohol for the greater good. Sure, it is partially influenced by my background, but if I really wanted to drink, I would.

When someone tells me they get drunk all the time, I don’t tell them, “Wow, I really don’t respect that,” because I am not automati-cally assuming that they drink or don’t drink. There’s no reason to comment upon it. It’s just the way it is.

It shouldn’t matter so much as to whether you choose to be a part of the alcohol culture.

But our campus perpetuates the idea that drinking is the only way to have a good time so much so that people assume that’s what every-one must be doing on the week-ends. And people assume if you’re not drinking, then the next best thing would be to still go out and pretend to be drunk.

It’s a rather presumptuous and self-absorbed idea that everyone must be doing what you do to have fun. And if you choose not to drink alcohol, you must be trying your hardest to equate your environ-ment to one of people who do drink because there is no other way to amuse yourself around here.

I’m not going to sit here and list

off what I do on the weekends for fun.

No, I do not sit in the UGL or Grainger and just study. And I’ve never been to Illinites either. The majority of my friends here do drink, but we still hang out on the weekends and manage to have fun.

I know it’s a novel idea to be able to laugh and be socially adept with-out alcohol, but it’s really not that hard.

Maybe I’m missing out on some-thing, but the facts tell a different story. Each year, a little under 2000 college students die from unin-tentional alcohol related injuries, about 700,000 students are assault-ed by another student who had been drinking and almost 25 per-cent of college students cite nega-tive academic consequences linked to drinking.

Of course this doesn’t mean if you are drinking you have done any of the above — you could prob-ably avoid each issue if you’re smart about it.

However, being in the drinking environment definitely increas-es your chances of getting hurt, harassed or falling behind in school when compared to a more sober environment. Whether it’s you or the people around you losing their inhibitions, there is a reduced

degree of control,. and it only makes sense that this could poten-tially lead to trouble.

It’s good to know that I’ve never had the unpleasant experience of waking up next to someone I don’t know, unable to remember any-thing from the night before.

I’ll never have to endure a “walk of shame” or puke up my guts because I drank too much that night. I’ll never have to deal with a hangover or random guys I acci-dentally gave my number to the night before.

This is trouble I’ll gladly miss out on.

Not participating in our Uni-versity’s drinking culture really isn’t the end of the world. I’ve had nights where I ran around cam-pus doing crazy things with my friends, probably broke some rules and got told to shut up for being loud way too many times. I’ve made the best of friends, laughed until I had tears in my eyes, ate combinations of food I probably shouldn’t have and danced the night away.

Was I ever drunk? Nope, I didn’t need to be.

EDITORIALISS must realign as public, open governmental

body

In a measure of cost-cutting last week, the U.S. gov-ernment decided to allow

automatic cuts to take place to an expired 2009 stimulus plan. This, in turn, cut $5 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (otherwise known as SNAP, or more commonly referred to as the food stamp program).

SNAP gives a monthly stipend to those who show that they can-not otherwise afford food — most-ly low- and no-income individuals. There is an application process and strict standards that one must qualify for, but if they do, they can receive government-aid to buy cer-tain foods.

Though it may be hard to believe, the SNAP program is massive.

The food stamp program pro-vides aid, in some capacity, to 14 percent of all households in the United States. In the United States, 47 million people depend on them in some way, which to put into per-spective, is more than the popu-lations of Colombia, Argentina, Poland or Kenya, to name a few.

Though funding was increased during the economic recovery in 2009 to help those in need (a demo-graphic which was rapidly expand-

ing at the time), lawmakers have seemingly decided, as a cost cut-ting measure, to not renew this increased funding. While this may be an example of what some would call responsible economic auster-ity, it is more a painful example of a lack of sympathy and a skewing of priorities.

At first glance, these cuts don’t seem that deep.

People living by themselves who are receiving maximum benefits under the SNAP program will only see a drop of $11 in monthly pay-ments (from $200 to $189), and a family of four will see a drop of $36 in monthly payments (from $668 to $632).

When I first read this, I won-dered what all the outrage was about.

Like most students, there is probably $11 just laying around my room somewhere. I could definitely scrounge it up if I absolutely need-ed to. It was hard for me to fathom how this could affect someone so greatly and why there was such outrage over it.

At an individual level, that $11 (or the $36 that will be cut from the budget for a family of four) can be the difference between whether a child will go to school well-nour-ished on any given day, and per-haps the difference between buy-ing healthy food or buying cheaper, unhealthier food.

Food is something that is so basic to us, especially as University

students, that it is often taken for granted.

Part of the reason that these cuts are so disgusting, however, is that they show that the United States, as a nation and as a government, seems to have very warped priori-ties when it comes to caring for our poor.

All of these cuts are coming at the same time where our defense budget is astronomically large. According to data from the Stock-holm International Peace Research Institute, the U.S. spends more on defense than the next 10 countries combined.

I’m not advocating for the dis-solve of the defense budget, but surely a little reallocation wouldn’t hurt, right?

I know having a powerful mili-tary is important and I’ve been told that by many international rela-tions professors. But if even a little bit of that money can be given to help those in extreme poverty, or prevent these cuts, why not do it?

I understand that cuts need to be made, but why do they need to affect the poorest of Americans?

A common argument states that perhaps these cuts are justified because those in extreme pov-erty provide less to society than someone who has a larger income. Someone who believes this could not be more wrong.

Even if someone on food stamps makes less money than you or I don’t deserve to starve for it when

times get tough. Perhaps lawmakers suffer from

the same problems that I first did when I tried to understand the cuts. Perhaps they simply cannot real-ize how much even the smallest of cuts can have an impact to this program.

The wishful thinking inside of me wants to believe that this is true, and that further cuts will not take place once we gain more understanding as a country. But there is also the nagging doubt that perhaps even some of those lawmakers subscribe to the belief that it is OK to cut from the poor because they make less money, and thus matter less.

If this is true, I must remind them that their job is to legislate for all citizens, not just the ones who have money.

Food stamps are not manipulat-able; it is not equivalent to giving free money to people, but rath-er allowing critical access to a resource that is necessary for life. Often, I think we forget to show a little sympathy to those less fortunate, especially as col-lege students, who are contained in a bubble of academic affluence.

I would expect seasoned law-makers to have a better sense of priorities when it comes to deal-ing with America’s poor.

A lthough we would like to assume the Illinois Student Senate operates transpar-ently, some of its recent

internal problems suggest other-wise. Last week, ISS Vice Presi-dent-External Timmy Knudsen re-signed, citing the time commitment and his hectic schedule.

But signs also point to growing distrust within the organization re-garding a secret Facebook group maintained by student senators. Al-though Knudsen said this wasn’t a factor in his resignation, several members had been trying to work behind Knudsen’s back through the closed group, which The Daily Il-lini reported Thursday. Worse than the covert nature of the group it-self was that senators used it to have discussions in quorum num-bers, a violation of the Illinois Open Meetings Act.

Essentially, enough ISS sena-tors must be present before a gen-eral assembly meeting (which are legally required to be open to the public) can begin. In the past, ISS has failed to meet this quorum re-quirement. However, on Facebook, enough of the senators participat-ed in the secret group to meet quo-rum, which means that the group legally must be open for the public to see. But it wasn’t open.

Not only must ISS operate openly and transparently because it’s the law, but it must also be public with its discussions so that the student body can hold the organization ac-countable.

ISS receives its budget from stu-dent fees, allocating the money how it wishes, and is empowered to be the voice of all students on this campus. As constituents, we should be able to hold them accountable for the senators’ decisions and have access to their deliberations.

Student senators are supposed to stand with students they represent, not circumvent them. ISS is not supposed to be an exclusive club — and no senator should have discre-tion over who can be included in discussions.

For a group that should repre-sent the student body, it’s a shame that its members cannot work col-lectively in a public forum to serve the University community, which voted them in.

Among this hullaballoo, anoth-er senator, Dominique “Modad-dy” Johnson resigned amid grow-ing pressure from ISS. Meanwhile, Johnson’s resignation caused a rift within the student senate when he was caught using another sen-ator’s i>clicker to vote at a meet-ing last month. Disappointing to us is that senators and factions within ISS see the need to work separately from the rest of the senate.

On the one hand, we’re glad to see senators properly resigning to maintain the integrity of ISS. These missteps served only to belittle an institution that is not often seen fa-vorably by students: We’re glad ISS didn’t just let it slip through the cracks.

We hope this will be the begin-ning of a shift of ISS’ focus on to the students. We hope that person-al problems within the senate can be separated from its public func-tion and that its operations remain public.

We hope this will allow senators to work as a whole and continue benefitting the entire campus, in-cluding through the i>clicker rent-al program, where ISS provides more than 400 students with free i>clickers. We appreciate sena-tors, like Tony Fiorentino, who are working to make the issues and dis-cussions surrounding college af-fordability more salient within our campus community and to our law-makers.

We hope more members will fol-low his lead, providing public ser-vices — publicly.

Cut to food stamp program shows skewed priorities

Q U I C K COMMENTARY

Quick Commentary delivers bits of relevant and important issues on campus or elsewhere. We write it, rate it and stamp it. When something happens that we are not

pleased with: DI Denied. When something happens that we like: Alma Approved.

Missing out on drinking culture not end of the world

Let’s take a look at some of this week’s most creative headlines.“Katy Perry Addresses Lady Gaga Rivalry”

Are you kidding? Let us tell you something, honey. If Katy Perry were any more irrelevant, then “California Gurls” would still be this year’s song of the summer, Justin Bieber would be working on his eighth (yet still amazing) Christmas album, and Britney Spears would be producing her 10th single in which the last

word of the title will probably be “bitch.”“Tan Mom Files For Divorce”

It wouldn’t surprise any of us if she ended up getting remarried to an ultraviolet ray. Love burns.

“Donald Faison’s Son Rocco Looks JUST Like Him”In Maury’s words, “Donald Faison IS the father.”

It’s that time of year again — the month where we separate the boys from the men. That’s right, everyone, No Shave

November is BACK! We greatly look forward to these next few weeks where guys around campus get that little bit of scruff back that most of us go crazy for. The first couple of weeks are pure gold as every participating 20-year-old guy

morphs into a rugged 25-year-old man. However, as the month progresses, that beautiful, masculine look peaks, and eventually participants’ faces begin to look more like a Chia Pet as they take on a hobo-like look — but it was all worth it for the initial stages of eye candy. And for the men out there

cursed with the smooth baby face and have to miss out on the hairy splendor, we send our deepest condolences.

With Halloween behind us, campus returns to its normal state, and we can no longer justify our overindulgence in

candy and chocolate — but that certainly won’t stop us from wolfing it down anyway. The scary movie marathons have come to an end along with the stress and preparation that came with figuring out our Halloween costumes. However, on the other side of this dark tunnel lies the excitement and anticipation of the holiday season. With Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner, it is time to dig through our drawers and pull out our elastic waistband pants. And

holiday cups. Need we say more?

Boston was a breeze. London was a tea party. By Chicago, it got boring. And in New York, she hit the grand slam. That’s

right, senior Tatyana McFadden has broken the record of being the first person to win all four marathons in a row.

Now, some of us know Tatyana. She’ll say that she still goes slower down a hill than a grandma — but then she’ll go right ahead and win four national races. No big deal or anything. We wish Tatyana the best on her future endeavors and can’t

emphasize enough how absolutely inspiring she is to the entire campus community. Win No. 5, anyone?

Falling an hour back for daylight savings timeBY ANNABETH CARLSONSTAFF WRITER

This weekend marked the end of many things, such as the month of October, Halloween celebra-tions and midterm mania. One ending that goes along with this is daylight saving time, which con-cluded Sunday at 2 a.m.

English builder William Wil-lett fi rst proposed daylight saving time in 1907 in his pamphlet, “The Waste of Daylight.” In the pam-phlet, Willett discussed moving up the time 80 minutes between the months of April and October, so people could enjoy more day-light hours and potentially con-serve energy .

Willett’s idea was adopted dur-ing World War I, fi rst by Germany in 1916 and then by Great Brit-ain and the United States. Both the Allied and Axis Powers were attempting to conserve resources as much as possible.

Initially, daylight saving time was seen as disruptive by many in the U.S. and was soon repealed. The practice was put in effect again during World War II. After that, there were no regulations on daylight saving time, so states and cities could practice it how they pleased.

However, this made travel to different cities complicated, so in 1966 the Uniform Time Act was passed. This regulated when the practice would begin and end nationwide. If a state, city or town did not want to participate, it fi lled out an ordinance, according to nationalatlas.gov.

Professor Eric Snodgrass, director of undergraduate stud-ies in the department of atmo-spheric science, has studied the history of daylight saving time because it affects weather fore-

casting. Through his research, he has found common misconcep-tions and little known facts about the practice.

“A mispronunciation about day-light saving time is a lot of peo-ple like to call it daylight savings time, and there is no ‘s,’” Snod-grass said.

Snodgrass also theorized that one reason for Willett’s proposing daylight saving time was because he wanted there to be sunlight remaining so he could golf after work.

Additionally, not all states in the U.S. use daylight saving time today. Hawaii, Arizona and territo-ries like Puerto Rico do not partic-ipate because they have more con-sistent daylight during the year.

The practice of daylight saving time has many pros and cons. For example, people monitoring the weather use “zulu” time, a 24-hour clock set on the prime meridian. This universal time system does not obey daylight saving time so they must adjust one hour, Snod-grass said.

The end of daylight saving time also means that it will be darker outside earlier at night. Catherine Beauboeuf, junior in Engineer-ing, said she does not like how the practice affects her studying hab-its at the library.

“I get tired easily, and it is hard-er to focus, and I have to walk home in the dark,” Beauboeuf said.

Beauboeuf is not the only stu-dent who feels this way.

“I feel like the day is over (soon-er) and no more productivity can happen,” said Andre Eagle, senior in LAS.

Similarly, Yuhe Liu, graduate student in ACES, said daylight saving time ending makes him

want to go home early.Despite these problems, Snod-

grass argues that daylight saving time should be preserved.

“Some studies have been done to see if using daylight saving time has helped with traffi c accidents, and what they determined is there is a one to two percent reduction in traffi c accidents ... (and) a fi ve percent reduction in car-to-pedes-trian traffi c accidents,” Snodgrass said.

Additionally, by “falling back” an hour, parents will not have to worry about their children stand-ing out at bus stops in the dark, Snodgrass said.

Despite differing opinions on daylight saving time, it is a tran-sition, or a new beginning, that people must adjust to each year. And come March 9, the clock will “spring forward” again.

As you observe the ending of daylight saving time, here is a sce-nario from Professor Snodgrass to think about:

“Let’s say that a woman was in the hospital, and she was deliv-ering twins this Saturday night. ... (At) 1:58 a.m. on Sunday morn-ing, the fi rst twin arrives. Four minutes later, the second twin arrives. But because of daylight saving time ending, that is now 1:02 a.m. on the same day. When you write it down, you are going to have a kid who was born at 1:58 a.m. ... and then you’re going to have another kid born at what would have been 2:02 a.m. but is now 1:02 a.m. ... (One) is younger, but on paper looks older. ... What happens?”

Snodgrass does not have an answer.

Grouplove delivers dynamic performanceBY ALEXANDER VASSILIADISSTAFF WRITER

Audience members were left speechless and “Tongue Tied” this past Friday when Grouplove performed at Foellinger Auditori-um. This indie rock band visited campus as part of their Campus Consciousness Tour, which runs until Feb. 2.

Its ecstatic, high-emotion per-formance enticed audience mem-bers, leading bandmember Chris-tian Zucconi to say, “This room is fi lled with group love!” midway through the show.

Composed of Hannah Hooper on vocals and keys, Christian Zuc-coni on vocals and guitar, Sean Gadd on bass, Andrew Wessen on guitar and vocals, and Ryan Rabin on drums, Grouplove is a potent explosion of creative soul and sound.

As the group ran onto the stage, Hooper in her full body skeleton suit, the crowd jumped to their feet. The chairs in Foellinger may as well have disappeared, because no one sat again until the end of the show.

Within their set list was the track “Itchin’ on a Photograph” from their debut album, which when combining a hand-clapping beat and Zucconi’s hair-raising vocals, was a treasure. The qual-ity of their live performance was as good as their studio recordings, exposing their true talents as a group.

“Itchin’ on a Photograph” was a good piece to get the audi-ence actively engaged; Hooper entranced the audience so well with her smile as she started to clap to the song that immediately the energy in the room went up tenfold and everyone was clapping.

Another song they brought back Friday night was “Naked Kids.” With nostalgic lyrics such as “back

corner table, order lobsters and black label, raise your glasses, here’s to living out our dreams,” the group brought the audience to a simpler time, emphasizing the theme of freedom and inducing carefree emotions.

Another amazing part of their performance was “Tongue Tied,” the track that many would claim gained most of their fame. Zucco-ni’s raw acoustic guitar, along with the dynamic vocals in the song, transformed Foellinger from a lec-ture hall to a music-crazed venue. In addition to “Tongue Tied,” the band also played “Ways to Go,” one of the songs on their recent-ly released album, “Spreading Rumours.” Their performance of this piece, which is reminis-cent of M83 meets MGMT meets

The Killers, was the climax of the show. The song’s pace rapidly pro-gresses from its beginning to its peak and adds a pinch of psyche-delic sound with a synth break; it is a good display of Grouplove’s versatility.

Foellinger is not the type of ven-ue one might expect Grouplove to perform in, as the chairs typically make the audience prone to low-energy responses; yet the group was able to surpass this obstacle and induced dynamic responses from the audience. Although the show was far from sold out, the artists brought their A-game, mak-ing it a show worth attending.

Illinois falls to Penn State 24-17 in OT

Penalties hurt Illini and Penn State

Penn State overtime interception extends Illinois losing streak

Illini secondary learns from Robinson

BY STEPHEN BOURBONSTAFF WRITER

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A week ago, the Illinois football team trailed 14-3 at halftime before folding in the second half on the way to a 42-3 loss against Michigan State. Trail-ing by the same margin to Penn State on Saturday, the second half took a much different direc-tion that ultimately led to the same result.

The Illini (3-5, 0-4 Big Ten) lost 24-17 in overtime to the Nittany Lions (5-3, 2-2) despite holding lead in the fi nal minute of the fourth quarter.

On third and 11 from the 15-yard line in overtime, Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenburg found tight end Kyle Carter in the middle of the

fi eld for the go-ahead touchdown after the Illini won the coin toss and elected to play defense fi rst.

The Illini’s possession in over-time would last just one play as quarterback Nathan Scheel-haase attempted to hit Spencer Harris on a corner route in the end zone. The ball was defl ected into the air and intercepted by Ryan Keiser to seal the game.

“We were determined not to let that happen again,” line-backer Jonathan Brown said about the second half against the Spartans. “We were deter-mined to come out the second half and play complete football, and that’s what we did.”

Penn State jumped to a quick 14-0 lead before the Illini DARYL QUITALIG THE DAILY ILLINI

BY SEAN HAMMONDSENIOR WRITER

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Overtime is what everyone will remember from Illinois’ loss to Penn State on Saturday, but it was penalties early that got the Illini in a 14-0 hole in the fi rst half.

The referees were fl ag-happy for much of the game — Illinois and Penn State were penalized nine and 11 times, respectively

— but it was the play on the fi eld that dictated the tightly offi ci-ated game.

“It was a physical football game out there,” head coach Tim Beckman said. “They were try-ing to win, we’re trying to win. There were a couple of penal-ties, silly ones. You wanted to be aggressive and as long as it isn’t too bad of a penalty.”

Lineman Mike Heitz was penalized for holding on a touch-

down pass on Illinois’ fi rst pos-session. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase threw an intercep-tion on the next play.

With less than two minutes on the clock in the second quar-ter, the Illini were penalized a 30 second run off for an illegal snap. They were forced to settle for a fi eld goal and a 14-3 defi cit.

Penalties on defense extend-ed Penn State drives as well. Caleb Day was called for pass

interference on a big Penn State third down and Johnathan Brown was called for a personal foul on another third down in the red zone.

“That killed us,” Brown said. “Myself included, I had a penalty on the third down in the red zone. We’ve got to eliminate those.”

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The Illini needed a touchdown, and they went for a touchdown, but it was Penn State safety Ryan Keiser who came down with the ball.

On Illinois’ fi rst play of over-time, trailing the Nittany Lions 24-17, Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase threw the ball up for grabs in the left cor-ner of the end zone. Illini wide receiver Spencer Harris had a chance at it, along with Keiser and Nittany Lions cornerback Adrian Amos.

“That play was coming to me all week and that play worked well in practice,” Harris said. “The corner came down and read back up — and came hard up.”

Harris knew it was going to be a tough pass to catch with two defenders covering him. The ball came down, and Har-ris and Amos went up. It hit off Harris’ fi ngertips and defl ected into the waiting arms of Keiser just behind them.

That quickly, the game was over, and Illinois’ Big Ten los-ing streak was extended.

“Just a bad play on my part,” Scheelhaase said. “I didn’t see

the corner drop back off, so I was checking down to the back. It’s as simple as that.”

“It was partially my fault for not putting myself in the right position,” Harris added. “I didn’t know it was an interception until I heard the crowd.”

Harris had been having his best game of the season. He made 10 catches for 81 yards and became the fi rst Illini with 10 or more catches since Josh Fer-guson eclipsed the double-dig-it mark against Louisiana Tech last season.

Coach Tim Beckman was proud of the way his receiving

corps stepped up in the absence of the injured Ryan Lankford. It was different being out there without Lankford, and Harris said the team was dedicating this game to him.

But after the game, it was the catch Harris didn’t make that was on his mind.

“Bitter sweet? Not at all,” Har-ris said. “I don’t even know how many catches I had but, to be honest, I don’t really care. We didn’t have the W.”

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State’s Allen Robinson is one of the best wide receivers in the Big Ten, and it showed early against Illinois at Beaver Stadium on Saturday. Robinson caught 11 passes for 165 yards, but the vast majority of them came in the fi rst half.

It was Illinois’ adjustments defensively that kept it in the game. Head coach Tim Beck-man said it was the players who

were being vocal at halftime.“You can make calls, but the

bottom line is the players mak-ing the plays,” Beckman said. “The bottom line is that our players made plays today.”

Cornerbacks Darius Mosely and Jaylen Dunlap , both true freshman, stepped up big for the Illini. Neither of them had good games against Michigan State, but against Robinson and the Nittany Lions, they showed up to play.

“He’s a good player,” Mose-

ly said of Robinson. “Going up against a Big Ten receiver is like going up against some of the receiver’s we’ve got. He’s a good player, but I feel like I go up against good players in practice as well.”

Beckman said he could see why Robinson was one of the best receivers in the con-ference. He thought playing against Robinson made his team better.

But getting better doesn’t negate the pain a loss causes.

And this loss — more than any other loss in Beckman’s tenure — stings because they came so close.

“I do believe that this will be a learning experience and we’re going to get that W,” Beckman said. “It’s going to come and it’s going to come this year.”

The Illini have four more chances to make it happen.

JOSEPH LEE THE DAILY ILLINIIllinois’ Rayvonte Rice shoots the ball during the game against Northwood at the State Farm Center on Sunday. The Illini won 83-67.

Rice enters game late, lifts Illinois over Northwood in exhibition win

Illinois defeats Minnesota to earn Big Ten Tournament berthBY LANRE ALABISTAFF WRITER

Illinois soccer (10-7-2, 5-5-1 Big Ten) traveled to Minnesota (11-6-2, 4-5-2) on Thursday with their season on the line. The Big Ten Tournament will be hosted at Illinois Soccer Stadium start-ing Wednesday, and the team remained determined to par-ticipate and not be bystanders.

In a brilliant eight-minute turnaround, Illinois scored three goals to defeat the Gophers 3-1 and guarantee a top-six seed vying for the Big Ten trophy.

“We wanted this senior class

to have more games,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “They know every win gives them one more game to play with this class and certainly I think this class is an inspiration.”

Illinois dominated possession and created more chances than the defense-oriented Minneso-ta team but was unable to cap-italize in the early going. The first half was scoreless, and it wasn’t until the second half that the deadlock was broken, against the run of play. Minne-sota’s sophomore forward Haley Helverson put her team ahead in

the 53rd minute.“The thing about a stingy

defense like Minnesota is the first one is the most difficult,” Rayfield said “You have got to try to break them down with a chink in the armor.”

It proved difficult to find that chink within a Gophers defense that had conceded 10 goals in 1026 minutes of Big Ten play. It took the Illini 68 minutes but they finally got on the score-board through team top scorer Jannelle Flaws. Flaws strike on the breakaway marked a NCAA-leading and school record 20th

of the season.After getting the equalizer,

the Illini sent more numbers in the attack to find a winner. The team’s gamble was rewarded as the game-winning goal came from freshman defender Casey Conine in the 75th minute. The Leslie, Mich., native’s go-ahead tally was her third goal of the season, and it was followed by an own goal a minute later.

“If you look at soccer games, we talk about the five minutes after a goal is scored,” Ray-field said “There are a lot of times where multiple goals are

scored because there’s a shift in momentum. They defended well for 65 minutes but to let in a goal, there is that deflation. We wanted to take advantage of that swing in momentum.”

Illinois now looks ahead to Nov. 6, when the Big Ten Tour-nament begins in Champaign, and will attempt to make a run for the title. After seeing limit-ed minutes in today’s game, the team is hoping captain Vanessa DiBernardo will be back to help them in that attempt. While she is a welcome re-addition, Ray-field has highlighted the team’s

growth in confidence without the midfield maestro playing. The team has compensated for her loss with other players tak-ing more responsibilities, and if they are to stand a chance at the trophy, Illinois will need more of the same.

“It’s going to be a lot of hard work,” Conine said. “We need everybody to play their hard-est. We’re ready and hungry. It’s our home turf, so we’re excited.”

The difference-maker for the Illinois men’s basketball team was the last man off the bench Sunday night.

Junior Rayvonte Rice, who started in the first exhibition game against McKendree, didn’t enter the game until there was 8:27 remaining in the first half. He immediately made his pres-ence known, dishing out two assists on his first two posses-sions, and finished with 16 points in the 83-67 Illini exhibition win.

Shortly after Rice went in, Illi-nois extended its lead to 41-17 with 6:15 remaining. But a 1-for-20 shooting slump led to poor defense and a 31-6 Northwood run that allowed the Timberwolves to pull ahead 48-47 with 13:31 left.

“You cannot tie your defense to whether you’re making shots on offense,” head coach John Groce said.

Illinois answered with a pair of Bertrand free throws and never trailed again, largely due to 12

points from Rice in the next four minutes, including back-to-back 3’s to bring the crowd to its feet and extend Illinois’ lead to 65-55 with 8:03 left.

Groce said Rice sat due to a “coach’s decision” and did not elaborate further.

“Whether I start or not, that’s not going to affect my game,” Rice said.

F r e s h m a n Kendrick Nunn started in place of Rice and had eight first-half points in 16 min-utes. He played just six min-utes in the sec-ond half, large-ly because of Rice’s emergence.

Rice wasn’t the only starter on the bench Sunday. Starting point guard Tracy Abrams was out with a hamstring injury, and freshman Jaylon Tate started in his place. Tate had 11 points, four rebounds and three assists.

Rice and Tate were joined in double figures by Mike LaTulip, who scored 14, and Joseph Ber-trand and Malcolm Hill, who scored 10 apiece.

Groce was especially impressed with walk-on LaTulip, who played backup point guard behind Tate and shooting guard.

“He was solid. He gave us a lit-tle bit of a calm-ing influence there,” Groce said. “He made plays that were there. He didn’t try to press or do anything out of character.”

Every Illini scored at least two points and

every Illini except Austin Colbert grabbed at least one rebound.

“We’ve got 11 guys that are available and eligible to put in the game,” Groce said. “We have to have them ready. We have to do it by committee.”

Northwood shot 39.1 percent

from beyond the arc and grab-bing 17 offensive rebounds, which played a large role in keeping them in the game. The Timber-wolves were led by two players who finished with double-doubles, Wes Wilcox and Will Bowles. Wil-cox finished with 25 points and 10 rebounds, while Bowles had 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Groce said he scheduled the Timberwolves because he knew their strength and physicality would challenge his team. Illi-nois narrowly outrebounded the Division-II squad 42-40 and got blocked seven times.

Starting big men Nnanna Egwu and Jon Ekey grabbed eight and nine rebounds, respectively, but struggled to stop Wilcox and Bowles.

The exhibition was Illinois’ last before the season officially begins Friday against Alabama State.

could even get settled, but let Illinois back into the game right before half-time. The Orange and Blue drove the length of the field right before half before stalling at the 5-yard line. With the clock ticking down and no time-outs, Scheelhaase frantically called out signals, burning precious seconds. His incomplete pass on the play left 0:00 on the scoreboard, but a rough-ing-the-passer penalty gave the Illi-ni a second chance and placekicker Taylor Zalewski knocked in a short field goal to put the Illini on the board before the break.

Immediately following an Illini touchdown midway through the third quarter that cut the Penn State lead to 14-10, Illinois kept the momentum, this time on the defensive side of the ball.

Facing a third and 1 from the Illi-nois 39, Penn State opted for a quarter-back sneak — which was stuffed for no gain. On the ensuing fourth down play, Penn State handed to Bill Belton (who finished with 201 yards on the day) off left guard. Illini linebacker T.J. Neal was able to grab the shoulder of Belton, slowing his momentum before defen-sive back Zane Petty finished him off at the line of scrimmage. The officials called for a measurement, but the Nit-tany Lions were short, turning the ball

over on downs.Following the turnover, Illinois

drove 57 yards on 11 plays before stalling at the Penn State 4-yard line. Forced with a decision of his own, Illi-nois head coach Beckman also chose to take the gamble. Coming out of a timeout, the Illini lined up in the Mary-land I formation, with four tight ends (two in the backfield in front of Josh Ferguson). When Scheelhaase gave a signal, the skill players scattered, each spreading into a wide receiver align-ment. From the shotgun, Scheelhaase stared down tight end Jon Davis at the goal line, but ultimately couldn’t squeeze the ball between the two defenders.

“You’re one short on a DB because we’re in a short-yardage goal line pack-age,” offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said. “You hope one guy wins a battle. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen.”

Illinois finished with 411 total yards but the two interceptions and nine pen-alties for 71 yards kept the Illini off the scoreboard and out of the win column.

“Obviously when you don’t win, it’s extremely disappointing because they worked so hard,” defensive coordina-tor Tim Banks said. “They’re putting in the work. At some point, it’s going to swing our way.”

Alyssa Schneider led the Illinois women’s cross-coun-try team in the team’s ninth-place finish at the Big Ten Championships on Sunday.

“Our goal was to be compet-itive and do better than we did last year,” head coach Scott Jones said. “We matched what we did last year.”

The Illini scored 241 points at the 6-kilometer meet, which was held at West Lafayette, Ind. Redshirt sophomore Alys-sa Schneider led the team with a 28th-place finish and a time of 21 minutes, 45 seconds.

The team had highlighted the meet since the beginning

of the season. There were many goals heading into the weekend, one of which was to have a quick start to put each runner in a good posi-tion for the middle and end of the meet.

“The race went out very fast, and I think we’re still not 100 percent prepared for that,” Jones said. “Now hav-ing been there, we’re a little bit more accustomed to that kind of race.”

The Illini also wanted to beat teams that had beaten them earlier in the season. They were able to beat North-western, who beat the Illini at the Purdue Invitational, but finished behind Purdue,

who outran them at the Notre Dame Invitational.

Senior Katie Porada (22:12.6) and sophomore Amanda Fox (22:14.9) both improved on their finishes compared to last year’s conference championship per-formance finishing 44th and 46th, respectively. Freshman Hanna Winter (22:45.2) made her Big Tens debut and finished 71st. Sophomore Britten Petrey (22:52.8) finished up the scoring for the Illini at 75th.

Junior Rachel Irion (23:14.7) improved upon her finish at last year’s meet, placing 88th, while freshman Audrey Blazek (23:30.3) finished 96th in her Big Tens debut. Soph-omore Natalie Wynn (24:11.2)

and senior Stephanie Mor-gan (24:23.4) placed 100th and 102nd, respectively.

Michigan State won the team title with 43 points, its third in four years. The Spartans had three runners finish in the top 10. Last year’s champion Mich-igan (55) finished second and Minnesota (68) finished third. Michigan’s freshman Erin Finn won the individual title with a time of 20:48.3.

The Illini will have the week-end off as they will prepare for the NCAA Midwest Regionals in Ames, Iowa on Nov. 15.

Five years ago, the Illinois men’s cross-country program would have been satis-fied with a fifth-place finish at the Big Ten Championships. For the 2013 squad, the hopes were much higher.

The Illini were disappointed with their fifth-place finish in the Big Ten Champion-ships in West Lafayette, Ind., on Sunday. They scored 140 points as a team, plac-ing them four points behind fourth-place Minnesota.

“It was pretty conservative early on and during the course of the race it picked up more and more as most championship rac-es do,” Stewart said. “We were where we needed to be early. We did a good job of putting ourselves into position to respond through the course of the race. We just didn’t maintain or close any of the gaps that formed in the last third of the race.”

Senior Jannis Toepfer finished sixth overall to pace Illinois with a time of 24

minutes, 31 seconds. The Bochum, Ger-many., native received first-team All-Big Ten honors for his efforts.

“It was what you would expect from a championship race,” Toepfer said. “You go out conservative, look around. You find your spot. I felt it was fine until around 6k and then it went from really controlled to just really, really fast. I tried to hold on as best as I could. It was a solid race.”

Two other Illini finished in the top 30. Sophomore Liam Markham placed 17th in his first Big Ten championship race with a time of 24:47. Junior Brendan McDon-nell, also making his Big Ten debut, fin-ished the 8-kilometer race with a time of 25:08 to take 29th overall. The other two counting scores for the team were redshirt sophomore Tommy King’s 46th-place fin-ish and redshirt freshman Will Brewster’s 48th-place finish. King finished the race in 25:24, with Brewster on his heels at 25:25.

Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin took first, second and third overall, respective-

ly. With the help of four top-10 finishes, Indiana snapped Wisconsin’s streak of 14 consecutive Big Ten conference cham-pionships. Wisconsin freshman Malachy Schrobilgen won the individual title with a time of 24:16.

No. 24 Indiana, No. 16 Michigan and No. 7 Wisconsin were the only Big Ten teams ranked inside the top 30 prior to the race. Minnesota and Illinois were ranked Nos. 31 and 32, respectively.

While Illinois was disappointed with its finish, there is still a chance for redemp-tion for the team. The Illini will run in the NCAA Midwest Regional in Ames, Iowa, on Nov. 15.

“It’s not a case where we have to go in and hope we run well because our fitness may not be where it should be,” Stewart said. “We’re ready to run. We’ve just got to go do it.”
