A wood biochar supercapaci-tor may seem like a burnt piece of wood in a small plastic con-tainer at first glance; howev-er, these little devices could be the future of environmentally friendly energy.
For the past two years, Junhua Jiang, senior research engineer, and a team of researchers at the University’s Illinois Sustainable Technology Center have been studying wood biochar super-capacitors as an electrochemi-cal source of power.
“Supercapacitors are ideal for applications needing instant power and can even provide con-stant power — like batteries, but at lower cost,” he said.
Supercapacitors are tradition-ally used in low-power devices such as PC cards, photographic flashes, flashlights or portable media players, Jiang said.
Nancy Holm, assistant direc-tor for sponsored research at the Center, oversaw the Hazardous Waste Research Fund, which provided funding for Jiang’s project. She has coordinated the Illinois Biochar Group for the past three years.
“We research ways to use materials and make other ways of producing energy so that we don’t have to use things like coal which can produce hazardous waste,” Holm said.
Jiang and his team have studied Red Cedar wood bio-char supercapacitors in par-
ticular. They found that these function much more efficiently than the commercial types of supercapacitors.
“There’s a lot of interest in biochar because it’s got some
interesting properties,” Holm said.

The University can’t afford to raise tuition prices much higher than it already has, Vice President for Academic Affairs Christophe Pierre told the Board of Trustees’ Audit, Budget, Finance and Facili-ties Committee at its meeting Monday.
He will give another presen-tation at the full board meet-ing on Nov. 14. This presenta-tion will give board members context about tuition rates ahead of the January meeting, where the board hopes to set rates for next year’s incoming freshmen.
The University has increas-ingly relied on tuition funds
for revenue. A $52.2 million increase in tuition revenues accounted for 99.8 percent of the University’s $52.3 million budget increase in Fiscal Year 2014, according to Pierre’s presentation at the Septem-ber board meeting. In the past 10 years, state appropriations have dropped 25 percent, while tuition has increased accord-ingly. Tuition now makes up $1.1 billion of the University’s revenue, compared to $600 mil-lion provided by state appro-priations, Pierre said.
But the University can’t afford to raise rates much more “if it doesn’t want to price itself out of the market,” Pierre said.

Jeffrey Breslow, FAA alum-nus, donated his sculpture “New Day” to his now retired former professor and friend, Edward Zagorski.
Standing in the Research Park directly across from the I Hotel and Conference Center in Cham-paign, Breslow presented the sculpture in Zagorski’s honor on Oct. 26.
Breslow said his inspiration to donate the sculpture stemmed from all Zagorski taught him. In fact, he said Zagorski is the reason he ended up in the field of industrial design.
“This is somebody I’ve known all my life, for 53 years we’ve been dear friends,” he said. “I met him when I was 17 and he
was 39, and now I’m 70, and he’s 92. We’ve been life-long friends.”
Breslow said Zagorski changed his life in a “very pro-found way” when he first met him.
“He taught me about industri-al design,” he said. “I switched from Bradley, where I was fail-ing out of school, and trans-ferred to the University of Illi-nois in order to study industrial design, and ultimately study with him.”
His close relationship with Zagorski is the reason he got involved in the new mentoring program for FAA.
“My goal as a mentor is to be able to help and influence young people and give back, primarily,” he said. “I’ve been very lucky in my life to have three mentors, Ed
was the first, and certainly the most prominent, but I’ve had two other mentors. I find that most people in life never have a men-tor — not one.”
Michele Plante, FAA career services coordinator, said that the new professional mentoring program, open to seniors in the college, aims to help bridge the gap between being a student and working as a professional.
“The goals are to provide insight for our students into their professional field, to extend their network of con-tacts, and to give them practice interacting with professionals in a video chat medium,” she said. “The program also pro-vides a method for alumni and friends of the college to connect directly with Fine and Applied
Arts and our students.”Breslow recently retired from
his position as CEO of his com-pany, Big Monster Toys, leaving the company in the hands of his partner, Don Rosenwinkle. Bre-slow said this is yet another way Zagorski had a hand in his suc-cess, as Rosenwinkle was among the countless other students, and people, he said Zagorski has touched.
“I hosted his 90th birthday party in Champaign two years ago. We had 75 people from all around the country and a couple from England come,” he said. “My story is not that unique. He’s influenced many people in his career. ... Everybody just reveres him and adores him; he’s

DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORTTwo incidents of paintball gun
attacks were reported on campus last week.
The first incident was report-ed in the 500 block of South Neil Street at 10 p.m. on Oct. 29.
University Police Lt. Matt Myrick said a female victim was shot by the paintball gun near Sherman Hall, 900 S. Fifth St. Her injury was not severe enough to require medical attention.
Michael M. Dunbar, 19, of Champaign; Matthew T. Dur-ham, 18, of Champaign; Amani J. Howard, 18, of Champaign; and Sheldon C. Knox, 19, of Cham-paign, were issued state of Illi-nois notices to appear in court to each face a reckless conduct charge.
Myrick said an officer also found paintball guns and acces-sories for paintball guns in one of the suspect’s cars.
The second paintball incident occurred Thursday.
Stephon J. Bobo, 19, of Cham-paign; Anthony McClinton, 18, of
Champaign; and Justin X. Reed-Williams, 22, of Urbana, were arrested on the charges of mob action and reckless conduct in parking lot A-9, 605 E. Healey St., at around 11 p.m. after an officer pulled over the car they were in for a traffic violation and saw a paintball gun in the vehicle.
After searching the vehicle, an officer found Airsoft guns, BB guns, a paintball gun, a bag of 500 paintballs and other paint-ball gun accessories.
Champaign Police were also on the scene and notified Uni-versity Police that they had ear-lier received a report of a paint-ball attack.
The suspects in the second incident were later released with no charges filed because there was no identifiable victim, Myrick said.
There may have been more victims in the paintball attacks who did not report the attack to the police, Myrick said. He add-ed that people should be aware of their surroundings and report an attack immediately.

BY LISA GIRION AND SAMANTHA SCHAEFERLOS ANGELES TIMES
As operations at Los Angeles International Airport returned to normal Sunday, a Calabasas High School teacher wounded in a shooting rampage at the air-port last week remained in fair condition.
Brian Ludmer, 29, sustained a bullet wound and will need sur-gery for a fractured leg as well as extensive physical therapy, officials at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center said in a state-ment Sunday.
The suspected shooter, iden-tified by police as Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23, remained in criti-cal condition. He was wounded by LAX police as he shot his way through Terminal 3 shortly after 9
a.m. Friday, authorities said. Cian-cia was shot in the head and a leg.
Transportation Security Administration agent Gerardo Hernandez, 39, was killed and at least two other agency employ-ees and a civilian were wound-ed. A TSA official Sunday night identified the wounded officers as James Speer, 54, and Tony Grigs-by, 36. Both officers were at home recovering from their wounds, the official said.
Authorities have filed a murder charge against Ciancia and sug-gested that he specifically target-ed TSA agents. Ciancia was car-rying a handwritten note in his duffel bag that said he wanted to “instill fear into their traitorous minds,” according to one federal official.
“His intent was very clear in
his note,” the official said.If convicted, Ciancia faces life
in prison without parole, or pos-sibly the death penalty.
The rampage temporarily halt-ed traffic at the nation’s third-bus-iest airport, stranding thousands of passengers and causing doz-ens of flights to be diverted to oth-er airports. The shooting caused chaos at LAX and affected more than 1,500 flights and 167,000 passengers.
On Sunday, flights at the air-port were back on schedule and regular operations had resumed, officials said.
“There were no delays this morning, and everything’s back to normal,” said LAX spokesman Marshall Lowe.
Besides the gunman, Ludmer is the only shooting victim who
remains hospitalized, officials said.
Ludmer was on his way to cel-ebrate a friend’s wedding over the weekend when he heard gun-shots inside Terminal 3 and “peo-ple were running everywhere,” Las Virgenes schools Supt. Dan Stepenosky said in an interview.
As the gunman took aim, Lud-mer turned to run and dived away, but he was struck at least once in the leg, Stepenosky said. He dragged himself into a clos-et, closed the door and hunkered down, fearing the worst.
“He really assumed he was not going to make it,” Stepenosky said.
The performing arts teacher managed to create a makeshift tourniquet to slow the bleeding, using “his old Boy Scouts train-
ing,” Stepenosky told KNBC-TV Channel 4.
Ludmer waited until he heard what he believed was a police offi-cer outside the closet. He cracked open the door, peeked out and was rushed by the officer to an ambulance.
Word of Ludmer’s wounds somehow reached his parents in Chicago. They in turn called Cal-abasas High, alerting two of Lud-mer’s colleagues in the perform-ing arts department.
“They said he was involved in a shooting,” Stepenosky said. “So the teachers and the principal went to the hospital right away.”
Calabasas Principal C.J. Foss and two teachers held vigil at the hospital while Ludmer’s mother made her way to Los Angeles to be at her son’s side, Stepenosky said.
LAX shooter charged with murder
Secretary John Kerry visits Saudi officialsBY CAROL J. WILLIAMSLOS ANGELES TIMES
U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry’s visit with Saudi officials Monday put a smiling face on strained relations between long-time allies but probably did little to ease concerns in the kingdom that Washington has been too lax in confronting opponents in Syr-ia, Egypt and Iran.
At a news conference with Sau-di Foreign Minister Prince Saud al Faisal, Kerry praised the king-dom as “the senior player” in the Middle East and pledged fidelity to the “deep relationship” that has endured between Washing-ton and Riyadh for 75 years.
But nagging policy conflicts and divergent views on the best path to peace could be heard between the lines of the two allies’ friendly posturing.
“A true relationship between friends is based on sincerity, can-dor and frankness, rather than mere courtesy,” the prince told reporters, alluding to what was apparently a strained exchange between the two diplomats.
Saudi Arabia last month made clear its pique over U.S. policy in the region when it rejected a seat on the U.N. Security Coun-cil, normally considered an influ-ential platform given its mem-bers’ ability to set the world body’s agenda.
In a statement declining the two-year stint, Saudi officials lambasted the Security Council, on which the United States holds one of five permanent seats, for having failed over 65 years to bring peace between Israelis and Palestinians and “allowing the ruling regime in Syria to kill and burn its people” with chemical weapons. The Saudi Foreign Min-istry statement also struck out at the council’s failure to ensure a nuclear-free Middle East, allud-ing to Western tolerance of atom-ic weapons widely suspected to be in Israel’s arsenal.
The Saudis appeared to be most aggrieved by the Obama administration’s decision against bombing military positions of Syrian President Bashar Assad after threatening for more than a year to punish any use of chemi-cal weapons. A U.N. inspection team has confirmed that sarin nerve gas was used in attacks in
rebel-held territory near Damas-cus on Aug. 21.
U.S. alarm over the evolving rift with Riyadh intensified in mid-October, when Prince Ban-dar bin Sultan, the Saudi intelli-gence chief, told European dip-lomats that the kingdom planned a “major shift” in its relations with Washington. The comments made behind closed doors, and promptly leaked to U.S. and European media, criticized U.S. inaction on Syria, indecision after the July military coup in Egypt and Washington’s pursuit of better relations with Saudi archenemy Iran.
Kerry said at Monday’s joint news conference that he shared the Saudis’ frustration with the conflicts roiling the Middle East but urged persistence in work-ing through U.N. diplomacy. He also sought to assure Riyadh that Washington remains steadfast in ensuring that Iran never obtains atomic weapons capability.
“The United States will not allow Iran to acquire a nucle-ar weapon. That policy has not changed,” Kerry said.
Middle East analysts say the U.S.-Saudi rift is serious but more the product of frustration with events in the region than anger over actual U.S. policy shifts.
“Nothing is ever resolved by one visit, but I think it went as well as could be expected,” Charles Ries, a retired career diplomat now serving as vice president for international affairs at Rand Corp., said of Kerry’s visit to Riyadh.
Ries described the Saudi rejec-tion of Security Council mem-bership as a “cri de coeur” to address strains in the relation-ship and said Kerry’s visit to Egypt ahead of his Riyadh stop had probably reassured the Sau-dis of a “softer” U.S. stance on the tumultuous aftermath of the “Arab Spring” in Cairo.
Much of the frustration, the analysts say, stems from the lack of any more effectual ally to which Riyadh could turn, as for-mer European colonial powers such as Britain and France have even less influence in the Middle East and Riyadh is unlikely to find much common purpose with Russia or China.
BY LAURA KINGLOS ANGELES TIMES
CAIRO — The chaotic scenes and defiant shouts that marked the opening of Mohammed Mor-si’s trial Monday suggest that Egypt’s military-backed govern-ment may face a long struggle to bring the deposed Islamist pres-ident and his Muslim Brother-hood to heel.
Emerging from four months in captivity at a secret location — later revealed to have been a military base near the Mediter-ranean city of Alexandria — Mor-si, on trial for inciting murder, faced the judge from inside a spe-cially constructed defendants’ cage, loudly declaring that he did not accept the legitimacy of the court proceedings. The judge adjourned the case until Jan. 8.
The ousted leader, eschew-ing the white prison-issued garb of his fellow defendants, wore a dark jacket and open-necked shirt instead.
“I am the legitimate presi-dent!” he shouted again and again, sometimes drowning out the judge, according to official media reports and courtroom eyewitness accounts. A wild melee broke out between Mor-si’s foes and backers inside the courtroom, with rival spectators hurling shoes at each other — a grave insult in the Muslim world.
The presiding judge, Ahmed Sabry Youssef, twice called recesses when raucous chanting made it impossible to continue. Opponents of the former leader,
including some Egyptian journal-ists who had been allowed inside with press credentials, shrieked: “Execute him! Execute him!” Morsi could face the death pen-alty if convicted.
Outside the heavily fortified police academy that housed the makeshift court, Morsi’s sup-porters gathered in a dusty no-man’s land, prevented by rolls of barbed wire and rows of police from getting too close to the com-pound’s outer walls. “Down with military rule!” they shouted in voices hoarse with passion. They also yelled denunciations of Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the army chief who brought Morsi down in a coup July 3.
Moving amid a forest of TV trucks, the ex-president’s par-tisans maneuvered into camera range to flash the four-fingered salute — alluding to the name of the Cairo mosque complex where hundreds of Morsi back-ers were killed by security forces in August — which has become a signature of the pro-Morsi pro-test movement.
The trial venue was moved at the eleventh hour to the police academy, whose location on Cai-ro’s eastern outskirts made it more difficult for demonstrators to reach. Tear gas was fired to break up larger demonstrations
elsewhere in the capital, and flashpoints like Tahrir Square were cordoned off by troops in armored personnel carriers. The city’s normally heavy traffic was light, with many people staying off the streets.
The start of Morsi’s court pro-ceedings marked a strange his-toric confluence: Two of Egypt’s former presidents are on trial. Hosni Mubarak, the longtime autocrat who was forced out in a massive popular uprising in 2011, is in the midst of a retrial follow-ing his conviction on charges tied to the killings of hundreds of pro-testers, with intermittent hear-ings being held at the same court in the police academy compound.
Morsi, along with 14 other senior figures in his Muslim Brotherhood, faces charges stem-ming from deadly clashes out-side the presidential palace last December, midway through his year in office. His lawyers say that violence broke out because police refused to protect the palace.
Morsi’s supporters demand his reinstatement, something the military-backed government says will never happen, regard-less of the trial’s outcome..

Blackhawks check in with the presidentThe Urbana campus has the
second-highest sticker price of public Universities in the Big Ten, next to Penn State, and its sticker price is higher than all of its dashboard peers, according to Pierre’s presentation.
The University took this into consideration this past Janu-ary when the Board of Trustees approved a 1.7 percent tuition hike for the current academic year, the lowest increase in 18 years.
Tuition revenue has increased because of an increase in prices, as well as an increase in enroll-ment. Ten years ago, 68,000 stu-dents attended the University’s three campuses, compared to 77,400 now, Pierre said.
Pierre said that setting rates by January helps the University budget in a timely manner and send out financial aid award let-ters to accepted freshmen. The rates also help the prospective students make a decision with knowledge of the cost difference between the University and oth-er schools.
In addition to Pierre’s presen-tation, the committee also heard from architecture firm Harley Ellis Devereaux on a possible $22.9 million addition and reno-vation to the Chemistry Annex.
The Chemistry Annex is locat-ed on the Main Quad and Mathews Avenue and was built in 1931. The proposed addition would make the building “a new state of the art undergrad chemistry instruc-tional facility,” according to the firm’s representative.
The building would have exte-rior work done and be “entirely gutted” on the inside. It would have to be closed for at least a year, the firm said. But it would be expanded with a 12,000 square foot addition, allowing for more lab space and collab-oration space. The new wiring and energy systems would bring the building’s certification up to LEED Gold, the firm said.
The renovation and addition are pending Board of Trustees approval at its full meeting Nov. 14 in Springfield.

allow them to be more environ-mentally friendly than those supercapacitors commonly used today. Supercapacitors function by capturing and releasing ions through a porous network.
However, activated-carbon supercapacitors, the type of supercapacitors used most often nowadays, must undergo compli-cated methods to get this porous network, Jiang said.
“Expensive and corrosive chemicals are often used to pre-pare the activated carbon used in supercapacitors, giving the elec-trodes the physical and chemical properties they need to function well,” Jiang said.
These chemicals can have neg-ative environmental impacts.
Wood biochar supercapacitors have a natural porous network that can be used as an electrode surface, so there is no need for such complex techniques. The wood used comes from forest waste like burned trunks, branch-es or even saw dusts. Wood bio-char is also activated with mild nitric acid, which, when washed away with ash, creates a benefi-cial byproduct that can be used as fertilizer.
The contrast in environmental costs and benefits is dramatic, said Jiang. He estimates that acti-vated-carbon costs about $5,000 per ton while wood-biochar can be as low as $100 per ton.
Jiang foresees many poten-tial future uses of wood biochar supercapacitors, they will be “very useful in solar and wind-power energy storage and distri-bution, transportation and elec-tronics,” he said.
He also says it is possible that wood biochar will be useful in areas besides energy storage, such as water purification and desalination techniques.
Wei Zheng, a senior research-er at the center, elaborated on the future of biochar. He stud-ies biochar as a means of soil improvement. Because Illinois is a largely agricultural state, he said, much of the nutrients are removed from the soil. When biochar is added to the soil, it improves soil quality and elimi-nates the need for harmful chem-ical fertilizers.
At this point, it is still in the lab stages and needs further research in order to become a commercialized product that can compete with current capacitors on the market.

the kind of teacher people wish they had. I was lucky enough to have him.”
Katie Khau, senior in FAA and mentee of Breslow, said the mentoring program provides a rare and valuable resource to
students, similar to what Bres-low experienced with Zagorski.
“Sometimes you feel lost at school,” she said. “It’s nice to have someone to ask questions. Normally you don’t have a pro-fessional you can ask questions about the market, or a job you want. It’s hard to get that in a teacher or mentor; just to con-nect with someone in my field
is really nice.”For Khau, having a mentor
with as much success as Bres-low has had is helpful, but not her only focus.
“I feel very gracious,” she said. “He’s been a great men-tor. He’s really helpful. It’s nice to get to know him as a person, and not just the ex-CEO of Big Monster Toys.”
The common ground between he and Khau makes for an enjoy-able time spent mentoring her, Breslow said.
“The girl I’m mentoring wants to be a toy designer,” he said. “I mean that’s what she wants to do, so it’s kind of a nice gift for me.”

Editor’s note: This is part one of a two-part series based on an interview with the current Chief Illiniwek portrayer, Ivan Dozier.
It was the first time he would appear at an Illini sporting event. Even more profound,
it was the first time any Chief Illiniwek portrayer would unof-ficially appear at an Illini sport-ing event.
As he descended to the low-er level of Huff Hall, multiple thoughts raced across his mind. Would security let him through? How would he be received?
With help from his father, he put on the regalia and face paint. After putting on the headdress, the two walked up the stairs toward the entrance to the court.
No. 9 Illinois volleyball had just finished a set against No. 2 Penn State, a match Illinois would later win 3-2.
Two security guards stood at the top of the flight of stairs. Chief braced himself.
Then, something unexpected happened.
“One of the guards turned over and saw me first and folded his arms and said, ‘Hail to the Chief,’” he reminisced. “And the other security guard … bowed down and said, ‘We are not wor-thy, we are not worthy!’ And I realized, at that moment, that this isn’t going to be a problem at all.”
***
That was Sept. 24, 2010. Fast forward to 2013, and Ivan Doz-ier, the current Chief Illiniwek
portrayer, is in his fourth year of continuing the Chief Illini-wek tradition. Having complet-ed his undergraduate degree at the University, he is now a first-year graduate student in crop sciences.
“I didn’t go around begging people for a grad school spot so that I could stay,” Ivan joked.
Ivan grew up in southern Illi-nois and went to high school in Monticel-lo. Looking at his lean build, mod-erately pale complex-ion and dark hair, you may not guess Ivan’s Native American heritage. But he is part Cherokee on his father’s side, a culture with which he strongly identifies.
“With me, either a lot of people can’t tell (my heritage), or people will only notice it when I men-tion something,” Ivan said. “But my dad, he’s got braids down to his waist. … He’s not shy about displaying his Native American heritage at all.”
Ivan recalled a time when he was approached by a panhan-dler on Green Street who rec-ognized that Ivan was the Chief portrayer and who also knew he was part Cherokee. The panhan-dler said, “I’m Cherokee too … us Cherokee men have to stick together. I read about you; I’m glad about what you’re doing!”
*** What Ivan is doing is carrying
on an 80-year-old tradition that ended six years ago. The Univer-
sity Board of Trustees retired Chief Illiniwek as the symbol of the University in 2007, two years after the NCAA banned the Uni-versity from hosting postseason events as long as it continued the use of the Chief. Dan Maloney, the 36th and last official Chief Illiniwek, performed the Last Dance on Feb. 21, 2007, at the men’s basketball game against
Michigan in then-Assembly Hall. Malo-ney’s assis-tant, Logan Ponce, became the first unof-ficial Chief Illiniwek in 2008.
During Logan’s ten-ure as the first Chief portrayer,
Ivan arrived at the University, soon joining the registered stu-dent organization Students for Chief Illiniwek.
“Having grown up in the area, I obviously knew about the Chief tradition, but having Native ancestry myself, I also knew it offended some people,” Ivan said. “So I joined the orga-nization to learn more about the Chief traditions, so I could be well educated on both sides of the issue.”
When time came for Logan to graduate, auditions needed to be held to select a new Chief.
Ivan went ahead and signed up.
When Chief Illiniwek was the official symbol of the Universi-ty, he was considered part of the Marching Illini. Then, the vast majority of the audition, accord-ing to Ivan, was the dance to the Three-In-One, a compilation of
three Illinois pieces played dur-ing the football halftime perfor-mance. Now, half of the audition for the Chief portrayer is the dance, but the other half is an interview that focuses on Native American culture.
“One of the things we real-ly tried to focus on since keep-ing up the tradition after retire-ment was making sure people were still educated about Native American culture,” Ivan said. “Making sure people know why the Chief was retired, and why people are offended by it.”
As the current Chief portray-er, Ivan uses his position to teach other people about his culture.
“If you get rid of all Native American imagery, then people stop asking you questions … and that’s how a culture dies out,” Ivan said. “And I don’t want that to happen.”
***
Since the first appearance at the Penn State volleyball game in 2010, Ivan has appeared at two other volleyball games, eight basketball games and five foot-ball games.
He decides when to perform, and many times he does not let people know.
It is a surprise that is wel-comed by many. When Chief raises his arms above his head just before the Alma Mater is played during the Three-In-One, that appreciation reverberates throughout the hall and stadium with a resounding “Chieeef.”
This is a tradition that alumni remember and many current students embrace, and one whose continuation depends on the involvement of future Illini.

One of the most controver-sial campus issues has been thrown back in the spot-
light. The Honor the Chief Soci-ety and the University Board of Trustees reached an agreement regarding the Chief Illiniwek trademark.
The debate over whether the Chief should be considered a symbol of the University is one that has caused me large amounts of cognitive dissonance. On one hand, I understand the Chief’s tie to the University and how it has been a quintessential source of pride for students and alumni. On the other hand, the Native American community has been vocal about their opposition, and, because of the symbol’s tie to the Native American heritage, the wishes of the community should be respected.
My position as a resident adviser for University Housing strengthened my worldview of inclusiveness and respect, and I believe the portrayal of the Chief is neither inclusive nor respect-ful of the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma — descendents of the Illinois Indians.
In the late 1600s, the Illinois Indians, also known as the Illini-wek Indians, were said to have consisted of as many as 12 tribes.
After years of colonization and merging of Indian tribes, the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Okla-homa are the closest thing left to the Illinois Indians because they are comprised of Kaskaskia, Peo-ria, Piankashaw and Wea Indians — all descendants of the Illinois.
Chief Illiniwek is a well-inten-tioned attempt to honor and respect the Native Americans, but he represents a grave misun-derstanding of their traditions and culture.
The traditions of Chief Illini-wek are not in line with the traditions of the Peoria Tribe. Though the regalia worn by the Chief was donated by a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, it has since demanded the return of the regalia because it has been misused and wrongly represents people of the Kaskaskia, Peoria, Piankashaw and Wea Indians.
Further, in some tribes the Chief is a revered leader reli-giously and spiritually. Some-one imitating the tribes’ ceremo-nial practices in a public venue for entertainment would be like someone dressing up as the pope and dancing on a football field.
The Honor the Chief Society said use of the Chief is not sacri-legious because “pow wows” are
held by some Native Americans, but this is a hasty generalization that perpetuates the stereotype of Native American dances. It voids the importance and sacred-ness some tribes with which view their ceremonial dances.
Though many believe the authenticity of the dance, it was based off of the observations of one of the University’s first Chiefs, Lester Leutwiler, and not passed down from the real shar-ing of Native American tradi-tions. Instead of it being a real Native American dance, it’s something that looks like one.
Finally, the current portray-er of the Chief, Ivan Dozier, said he is half Cherokee. However, this doesn’t necessarily give him the authority to recreate Peoria Tribe traditions. Using the term Native Americans is synony-mous to using the terms Euro-pean, Asian, Latino, etc. Not all Asians are Chinese; not all Euro-peans are Italian; not all Latinos are Mexican; and not all Native Americans are Cherokee.
Chief Illiniwek is a stereotype that portrays all chiefs and tribes as the same, while there are many different American Indian cultures and cultural practices.
What really grinds my gears is that people say the Chief is an honor to Native American cul-tures even though the Native American and Indigenous Stu-
dent Organization, the Native American House and the Depart-ment of American Indian Stud-ies say otherwise. Who are non-Native Americans to say what is honoring Native Americans?
Since we are at the Universi-ty of Illinois, we should active-ly work with the Peoria Tribe in creating an educational pro-cess because they are the closest descendents to Illinois Indians. If the Chief were to once again become a symbol of the Univer-sity, a class similar to ACE IT or FYCARE should be put into place that educates students about the significance of Native American culture, especially the culture surrounding the Peoria Tribe.
If not that, students should be required to take AIS 101, Intro to American Indian Studies, to better understand the history and culture surrounding Native Americans.
Because our University pro-motes diversity and inclusivity, I believe the Chief can serve as a great educational tool for inform-ing students about the most underrepresented group at the University and continue to instill pride into the students, alumni, faculty and staff.

Just because you have a confident idea of what you’re eating doesn’t necessari-ly mean that what you’re eating was pre-pared safely in a health-inspection passed kitchen.
With more than 250 restaurants in Cham-paign alone, chances are you’ll always be trying something new. And although trying out new res-taurants is always an experience, trying some-thing new also means you’re probably unfamiliar with the establishment.
To ensure that all restaurant customers are aware of the dining establishment’s current and previous conditions, the Champaign County Pub-lic Health Department and Champaign-Urbana Public Health District are proposing that all food vendors post results of recent health inspections and use a color-coded sign to depict various re-sults.
Green signifies general compliance, mean-ing the restaurant passed the inspection; yellow signifies a required re-inspection, meaning that there were violations and the restaurant now has a chance to fix them; and red signifies closed, meaning that some violation — whether health- or operating-related — closed the establishment.
And when you consider that there are more than just restaurants selling food, this proposal becomes even more necessary.
Restaurants, grocery stores, food trucks, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, even private-certified dining halls are considered food ven-dors and are, therefore, included under the pro-posal. It’s reassuring to know that regardless of where we decide to get our food, we’ll have some confidence that it’s safe, or at least that we can determine for ourselves whether it’s safe.
It seems like a win-win situation: Customers will be aware of the conditions of the establish-ment they’re eating in, and restaurateurs will be encouraged to keep their establishments up to par with health inspection standards. But over-all, this proposal is more for the sake of the cus-tomer than the restaurant.
Dining establishments are plentiful and food choices are vast and even repetitive on campus. This can only add to the problem when there’s a population of students who don’t so much care about what they’re eating, but just eating in gen-eral.
How many restaurants have you entered that displayed its health inspection results? How many of them have you looked at? How many restaurants have you entered that don’t display its health inspection results, but, from the look of the place, it really should?
That’s the thing: We typically don’t care. But if all food vendors are required to visibly dis-play health inspection results, then, to an extent, we’re forced to see it. And that’s not necessari-ly a bad thing: seeing where and what you’re eat-ing.
Consider the popular elbow-room-only Mex-ican eatery, Maize, located at Green and First streets.
In December 2011, Maize was hit with nine critical health violations and eight additional non-critical violations. On one hand, it’s impor-tant to realize that there is clearly an incongru-ence between diners’ positive experiences and the reported low quality of the establishment. Just because it’s constantly busy doesn’t mean that it’s consistently safe.
Yet, on the other hand, this also gives restau-rants the opportunity to address and fix the vio-lations before re-inspection.
Restaurants should be held accountable when some failure on their part results in the harm to or negative experience of a customer. Requiring all food vendors to display health inspection re-sults won’t just give them the opportunity to im-prove, but it will give customers the opportunity to develop a more well-formed opinion on where they want to eat based on the inspection results.
We certainly deserve to be informed about where we’re eating, and restaurants should al-ways be held accountable to do so in the first place.

Jack-o’-lanterns good for more than just decoration
Theories continue regarding Google’s barge in CaliforniaBY CHRIS O’BRIENLOS ANGELES TIMES
SAN FRANCISCO — If it weren’t for Google Inc. trying to cover it up, the old sea-worn barge stacked four stories high with cus-tomized shipping containers may not have become an object of glob-al fascination.
But Google being Google with all its out-there projects — many ripped from the pages of sci-fi bestsellers — the secrecy behind the barge has taken on a life of its own. Google isn’t saying any-thing, and having guards shoo away prying eyes has only added to the mystery.
The barge became my Area 51 . Piercing Google’s defensive shields was going to be tough, but I was undeterred. I picked up my notebook and camera and set off from my home in Oakland to fi nd the truth.
To get there, I drive west across the gleaming new eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, which recently opened. At about the halfway point to San Francisco, just before the thoroughfare enters a tunnel, I turn off the exit for Yerba Bue-na Island onto a road that swirls around the island before taking me north to my destination.
That road connects to Treasure Island, a man-made no-man’s-land trapped in limbo between its past as a U.S. naval station and its des-tiny as a proposed business and residential development with mil-lion-dollar views of the city. The entrance to the pier is secured by two wooden guard stations.
I turn around and face Han-gar 3, which is about a football fi eld away, separated from the pier by the street and a large parking lot that has also served as a helicopter landing pad. This 67,000-square-foot warehouse is where the structure was built, though there is little activity on this day.
A CNN truck sits in the park-ing lot. As I walk to the hangar, I bump into a reporter from the British newspaper the Daily Mail. I joke that we should hire a boat to get a closer look. He says he’s
actually thinking about doing so. (Which he does the next day.)
We approach the hangar, where signs warn “Danger: Do not enter” and “Please prepare to surrender your smartphone, camera phone, camera, and or any other audio/visual devices.”
The hangar door opens and a fl atbed truck slips inside before the door quickly shuts.
We then walk around the build-ing to Hangar 2, home of a compa-ny called Island Creative Manage-ment, which produces large-scale tech events and conventions.
A friendly employee tells me the owners had signed a nondis-closure agreement to not discuss their neighbor’s project.
We go back to Hangar 3 and cir-cle it again before crossing the street to Yerba Buena Builders, a construction company, where we meet Keith Miller.
Late last year, a 5-foot-high fence was erected around the Hangar 3 parking lot, and hun-dreds of laborers, welders and plumbers descended on the site, working at least two shifts a day. When Miller chatted with them, they said they had no idea what they were making or who they were doing the work for, though some had apparently guessed it was Google.
Each day, a bunch of large met-
al shipping containers would be hauled into the site, where they were taken apart, modifi ed, reas-sembled and eventually stacked on top of one another. Some had the sides cut out and large picture windows installed.
Eventually, the containers were stacked into a single rectangular structure — four shipping con-tainers long, four containers wide, four containers high — and trans-ported to the end of the pier and placed on the barge. And then, it seemed, everything came to a halt.
The company that held the han-gar lease when the work start-ed was G & K Media, a Spokane, Wash.-area fi rm that produces special events for large corpo-rations. According to the lease, the purpose was “Fabrication of a special event structure and art exhibit only and for no other purpose.”
The lease was signed by Kris Hemenway-Sheets, whose Linke-dIn profi le describes her as a “line producer” for the media produc-tion company. Reached by phone Friday, Hemenway-Sheets says she signed a nondisclosure agree-ment and can’t talk about the project.
“I have to remain silent on this for now,” she says. “It’s going be fun. I’ll promise you that.”
BY CHRISTINE OLIVOCONTRIBUTING WRITER
Skeletons, ghosts and oth-er spooky Halloween decora-tions are starting to come down around campus as Thanksgiving quickly approaches. But before throwing away old jack-o’-lan-terns, students can instead get one more use out of them.
The University of Illinois Extension, the University branch of the nationwide Cooperative Extension System, is an out-reach effort that strives to edu-cate the residents in Illinois’ 102 counties by offering education-al programs in a variety of sub-ject areas. The group has its own Pumpkin Fact page that states that pumpkins were previous-ly recommended for treating snake bites and removing freck-les. In addition, Native Ameri-cans used the pumpkin seeds for medicines, and used dried, fl at-tened strips of the pumpkin to make mats.
These days, pumpkins can be used for other purposes, such as gardening, according to Chuck Voigt, vegetable and herb spe-cialist within the University of Illinois Extension and Principal Research Specialist in Agricul-ture for the Department of Crop Sciences.
Voigt suggested that compost is the best option for recycling Halloween pumpkins.
“You can use the compost for fertilizer in a garden,” Voigt said. “It’s organic matter, which is what makes our soils here so nice and black.”
Voigt explained that by using the compost, the nitrogen in the pumpkin will break down quick-ly, which makes it good to mix in with things that break down slowly, such as dead leaves.
“It hurts when I see people putting 20 pounds of dead leaves out. You can use the pumpkin compost to break down layers of different materials,” Voigt said. “For a home owner with a back-yard, it’s not a bad idea.”
Danielle Cruise, junior in Applied and Health Sciences , said that she has never consid-ered using her Halloween pump-kins as compost, but with the addition of her family’s compos-ter, she said she would consider using it in the future.
“We just got a composter two years ago, but since everyone in my family is grown up now, no one has carved pumpkins at home recently,” Cruise said. “But since we do have the com-poster, if we ever do carve pump-kins, we can use it in the future to recycle the pumpkins.”
Just as pumpkins can be used to help the environment, they can also be a healthy, post-Hal-loween snack.
Leia Kedem, extension edu-cator for University of Illinois Extension and registered dieti-tian , had previously written a pumpkin-themed blog post for the University’s Extension web-site, titled “Pumpkin is a Versa-tile and Healthy Food for Fall,” mentioning ways to prepare fresh pumpkin.
“Pumpkin can be used in either sweet or savory dishes. ... Your left-over jack-o’-lanterns can also be used,” Kedem states in her blog. “Make the most of this classic Halloween decora-tion by purchasing pumpkins and reserving the fl esh for cooking.”
Kedem also mentions in the blog that compared to sugar pumpkins, using Halloween pumpkins might be less sweet and more watery. She recom-
mended students use these pumpkins in “savory pumpkin soup recipes.”
Voigt also shared that if you haven’t taken them out yet, the seeds of the pumpkin are also nutritious.
“The best thing of the pump-kin to eat is the seeds. They’re nutritious and contain fairly rare vitamins, such as vitamins E and K,” Voigt said.
The University of Illinois Extension Pumpkin Recipes web-page provides pumpkin-related recipes, such as “Pumpkin Apple Soup,” “Quick and Easy Pump-kin Soup” and “Roasted Pump-kin Seeds.”
“You have to remember food safety when using pumpkins from Halloween, though,” Voigt said. “If you cut the eyes and mouth out for a jack-o’-lantern, you don’t know what (bacteria) got started in there. You have to be careful.”
Another idea that the Universi-ty of Illinois Extension Pumpkin Recipes webpage offers is mak-ing a Pumpkin Soup Tureen, also known as a soup bowl.
“The hollow shell makes a picturesque and elegant soup tureen. A large pumpkin shell can hold enough soup for a fam-ily gathering or dinner parties, while small pumpkin shells are just right for individual serv-ings,” the webpage states.

Espresso Royale also brews pumpkin- and cider-fl avored drinks, as well as hazelnut hot chocolate, Parker said.
The Daniel Street location does their own in-house baking and makes everything from scratch, such as chai brew and blended
drink bases, Gramly said. Local items and products are also used.
Espresso Royale — with loca-tions in Illinois, Michigan, Min-nesota and Wisconsin college towns — was founded by Mar-cus Goller in 1987, according to the chain’s website . The company buys organic fair trade coffees and teas, many of which contain no fertilizers or pesticides.
The business also donates

but I think at this point, (Lamar) is the best MC of our time,” Klinefelter said.
Lawrence Mead, freshman in LAS, is an aspiring rapper who has been touched by Lamar’s story and electrifi ed by Lamar’s rise to stardom.
“His history tells me that, in a sense, I can make it as a
rapper, as well. He is the next Tupac. He is the next Biggie,” Mead said. “In a sense, I feel like he’s getting ready to cre-ate monsters in the rap game,” Mead said.
The concert will be the second time Lamar has been on cam-pus, after making a special guest appearance with Drake in 2011. This time around, he will be vis-iting with several BET awards under his belt and plenty of stu-dent praise.
“His lyrics are amazing; they’re real,” said Krista Frank-lin, freshman in LAS. “It seems like he’s experienced. He has a good infl uence in hip hop — he doesn’t rap about sex and stuff — he raps more about how he made it out.”
Tickets for the show are still available and range from $30 to $42.50.

E spresso Royale’s Feel Bet-ter Tea delivers the magi-cal power of temporary relief from winter bugs, said Shawn O’Niell , Espres-
so Royale barista and junior in LAS.The fi rst time he tried Feel Better
Tea, O’Niell was feeling under the weather at work. He said it cleared up his sinuses due to the hot temper-ature of the drink.
“I had (the tea) with some honey, and that actually cured me pretty well to fi nish my shift,” O’Niell said. “It’s good for the throat.”
The tea is a mix of the cafe’s Nighty Night, Pharaoh’s Cup and Lemon Zing — mint, chamomile and
lemon teas, respectively — said Lau-ren Gramly, Daniel Street’s Espresso Royale store manager.
The medicinal qualities of the tea help soothe sore throats, stomach aches and sinuses, Gramly said. With honey and lemon, the drink coats the throat and lessens discomfort. The effects of the drink can last up to a few hours, Gramly said.
While O’Niell likes Feel Better Tea served with an apple fritter, Kevin Parker, another barista at the Daniel Street location and junior in Engi-neering, suggested pairing the drink with a tea bread.
The tea, containing dried ingre-dients and hot water, is low-calorie, all-natural and caffeine-free, Parker and O’Niell said.
“I think there are no negatives of this tea, except if you’re trying to stay awake for long periods of time. It kind of puts you to sleep because of the chamomile; it’s like a natural relaxant,” O’Niell said. “But other than that, it’s good because it’s nice and warm.”
Espresso Royale promotes the tea on their seasonal board in shop dur-ing the fall and will probably contin-ue to do so during the winter because of cold and fl u season, Gramly said. O’Niell observed an increase of Feel Better Tea sales during the winter and change of seasons. Now, 10 to 15 customers order the tea per day, Gramly said.
“It’s just word of mouth some-times,” Gramly said. “(If) custom-ers ask for something to make them feel better, we’ll recommend (Feel Better Tea).”
The tea, with tax, costs $2.19 for a medium and $2.46 for a large. The tea is served with optional lemon and
honey, free of charge.In addition to the Feel Better
Tea, the cozy, tight-knit Espresso Royale locations may also attract customers.
“I love the people who work with me,” Gramly said. “I love the cus-tomers who come in every day, because we get a lot of regulars. I think it’s just a fun environment. It’s a fun job to have.”
Parker and O’Niell contributed to the friendly, positive atmosphere, as they playfully conversed behind the counter during their shift.
Espresso Royale’s location on Dan-iel Street has around 15 employ-ees, with anywhere from two to four baristas working at one time, depending on the time of day, Gram-ly said. More customers come in during the morning and afternoon, although Parker observed a spike in Feel Better Tea purchases at night.

Kendrick Lamar is set to grace the stage at the State Farm Cen-ter’s Star Theatre on Wednesday in front of a nearly sold-out ven-ue, according to Susan Lyman, one of the State Farm Center’s directors of marketing, adver-tising and promotions.
Lamar’s Champaign perfor-mance, starting at 7:30 p.m., will be part of the Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City Tour.
“Kendrick Lamar was brought
to campus for the sole entertain-ment of our students,” Lyman said. “People need to know we can bring big names to Champaign ... We don’t want our customer base to have to look outside of our town for that entertainment.”
Lamar burst onto the hip-hop and rap scene after the release of his 2012 album, “Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City,” which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. He had three Top 40 hits, including “Swimming Pools,” “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” and
“Poetic Justice.”Since the release of the album,
he has made bold statements in hip-hop world, exemplifi ed by his verse in Big Sean’s “Con-trol,” where Lamar calls out the industry’s biggest names and suggests he is better than them. It brings out the competitive spir-it in the genre that has long been too friendly, said Cortland Kline-felter, junior in Applied in Health Sciences.
“He’s bringing the rappers back. He’s making it awesome to
be an MC now and stopped mak-ing it so buddy-buddy,” Klinefel-ter said. “He’s trying to call out everybody, trying to say, ‘I’m raising the bar high, I need you to jump over it.’”
With a family originally from Chicago, Lamar was born and raised in Compton, Calif. — a place just outside of Los Ange-les notorious for drugs and gang violence . He rose the ranks, steering a straight wheel, and was reportedly a straight-A stu-dent at Centennial High School
in Compton. He circulated a mix tape at the age of 16, which even-tually earned him the attention of Dr. Dre, one of hip hop’s most respected names.
Lamar has since been get-ting recognition from some of the industry’s most prominent artists, such as Eminem, who praised Lamar in a recent inter-view with Billboard .
“What he’s doing right now, it’s pretty ... incredible. He seems like this kid that’s just full of life and happy to be here. The impact
he’s had over just the last couple of years; it’s been really fun for me to watch,” Eminem said in an interview.
Lamar’s narratives of some of the tough struggles in Comp-ton reoccur in his music. It has drawn comparisons with the late Tupac Shakur, the 1990s hip-hop mogul who also grew up in Compton.
“We never know how far Tupac could’ve gone if he hadn’t died,

The Wolverines were the latest victim of Michigan State’s No. 1-ranked defense. Michigan was held
to just six points and had -48 yards rushing, a program record for worst rushing yardage in a
game. Michigan now falls to fourth place in a very deep Legends division and still has Nebraska
and Ohio State on the schedule. After starting off 5-0, there have been some chinks in the armor
for Michigan after losing a four-overtime thriller to Penn State on Oct. 12.
The Wildcats are fading fast. The losing streak now sits at fi ve consecutive games after getting their hearts ripped out on a Hail Mary to Nebraska. The upcoming schedule does Northwestern no favors as they face both Michigan and Michigan State before the season fi nale against Illinois. A team that was looking at a potential BCS berth just a month ago now needs at least one upset to even become bowl eligible.
BY STEPHEN BOURBONSTAFF WRITER
After having its worst offensive output of the season against Michi-gan State, the Illinois offense wast-ed no time moving the ball this past Saturday against Penn State.
The Illini were able to move the ball in spurts for much of the fi rst half in the 24-17 overtime loss but couldn’t convert yards into points. On the opening drive of the game, Illinois drove six plays, covering 45 yards before quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase’s pass was defl ected off the hands of Martize Barr and inter-cepted deep in Penn State territory.
The Illini ripped off those six plays in the fi rst one minute, 38 seconds of game time, or an average of just 16.3 seconds per snap. In a sport obsessed with high-powered, no-huddle offens-es, the fastest tempo in college foot-ball for the 2012 season was the Hous-ton Cougars at 18.3 seconds per play.
In fact, two of the Illini’s three scoring drives on Saturday featured tempos that were faster than the Cou-gars’ high-water mark.
On four consecutive drives, begin-
ning in the second quarter and mov-ing into the fourth, the Illini had at least 12 plays per possession and scored on three of them — the lone outlier being a failed fourth down conversion at the Penn State 4-yard line. For that stretch of offense, Illi-nois’ tempo was between 14.4 seconds per play and 22 seconds, four of the Illini’s fi ve highest-paced drives of the game.
Even with sustained success mov-ing the ball, the Illini put just 17 points on the scoreboard, a mark not high enough to get the victory.
“I thought we left a lot of opportu-nities out there,” Scheelhaase said. “We get on their side of the deal twice, and it was my fault on the turnover and my fault again on the fourth-and-one. We got to fi nd a way to make a play.”
For the game, Illinois’ tempo sat at 19.8 seconds per play, which would have been good for fi fth-best in the nation in 2012. The contest in State College, Pa., was by far the fastest of the season for Illinois, with the pre-vious high being 24.8 seconds per play against Miami (Ohio) on Sept. 28.
In offensive coordinator Bill Cubit’s offense, the Illini have picked their spots on when to hurry to the line and unleash the hurry-up, but it is an added element that Illinois teams haven’t had in the past. In 2012, the Illini were 89th in the coun-try in tempo, with an average of 27.7 seconds between play.
“We wouldn’t do that (go up-tempo) the whole game,” Cubit said. “We’re just going to be patient and keep the tempo up to wear them down. I thought we did a nice job, I don’t know how many plays we had, but I know it was a lot better job of control-ling the ball than last week.”
The up-tempo style was a contradic-tion of how the Illini had been play-ing against typi-cal, grind-it-out Big Ten teams. Against Mich-igan State the week prior, the Illini mustered just 128 yards on only 42 plays. In that offensive disaster against the Spartans, the Illini averaged their slowest pace of the year: an average of 29.9 seconds between plays, good for 116th out of 120 FBS teams for the 2012 season. In a game against the Badgers where the Illini put up 32 points, their tempo still sat at only 29.1 seconds/play in a 56-32 loss.
The downside of an up-tempo attack is if the offense doesn’t move the ball, it gives a quick turnaround to the defense. With a young defense
on the other side of the ball, Illinois can’t afford to lose the time of posses-sion battle. In the past three losses to Wisconsin, Michigan State and Penn State, the Illini have not been close in that statistic.
Against Penn State and Wisconsin, the Illini lost time of possession by about 10 minutes per game (Illinois held the ball for 25:08 against Penn
State, 25:42 against Wisconsin) but were dominated by the Spar-tans. Michigan State held the ball for 39:06, almost twice as much time as Illinois and it showed on the score-board in the 42-3 loss.
In the games mov-ing forward against the conference’s top-two offenses in Ohio State and Indiana, Illi-nois will need to fi nd the balance between ball control and tempo to pull out victories.
“I thought the kids really stepped up and met a lot of challeng-
es,” Cubit said after the Penn State game. “I thought there was a lot to build on, but sooner or later you got to win.”

Illini’s quick offense producing more
Every time I remember Illinois wrestling begins its season this weekend, Nelly’s “Here Comes the Boom” plays loudly in my
head. Pretty appropriate, if you ask me.The Illini return to the mat after a successful
2012-13 season that saw sophomore Jesse Delgado taking home his fi rst NCAA title in the 125-pound weight class. He also dominated the fi eld at the Big Ten Championships, going undefeated on his way to taking down Iowa’s Matt McDonough — the tournament No. 1 seed.
But coming back after winning a championship can be tough. Now there are all of these expectations to contend with. It’s like he has to win. Anything else is a disappointment.
No pressure.Any time a team or an individual wins big,
there’s always talk of a repeat. Alabama football. The Miami Heat. The Chicago Blackhawks. Everyone wants that elusive back-to-back title. It means legacy, dynasty, immortality. But it also means teams have to play with a target on their backs.
How many times have we watched teams or individual athletes suffer from a feeling of entitlement? They think they’re the best, and maybe they are, but if they’re too cocky and self-assured, it’ll come back to haunt them later on.
Fans often prepare themselves for this idea of a one-hit wonder. I thought for sure last year’s Heisman winner Johnny Manziel fi t the fold, but apparently he is the wunderkind everyone made him out to be — despite the character fl aws and suspicious autograph signings.
I don’t think Jesse Delgado has set himself up for a junior-year collapse. His coaches won’t let that happen.
“Our goal is to get him to repeat for the next two years,” said head coach Jim Heffernan after the NCAA’s last March. “I know we’re going to get the best out of the kid every time out.”

Backed up in front of its own end zone with a three-point lead and three minutes and 23 seconds remaining against Penn State on Saturday, Illi-nois elected to pass the ball on fi rst down rather than run it and milk the clock.
Looking back, it’s easy to second-guess the deci-sion, but neither head coach Tim Beckman nor offensive coordinator Bill Cubit regretted the play call when they addressed the media on Monday.
“The most important factor was making the fi rst down,” Beckman said. “Coach Cubit felt that we weren’t running the ball extremely well. That’s been our Achilles’ heel this football season. We felt that we could get something on a play action pass, which had worked for us numerous times.”
The Illini elected to pass and quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase subsequently threw an incompletion intended for tight end Evan Wil-son. Illinois ran on the next two downs and was
able to run the clock down to 1:39 on the punt.Had the Illini converted the fi rst down, the
game would have been all but over.“We were hoping to get the full back out in
the fl at,” Cubit said. “There’s a fi ne line between should I throw it or not throw it. We were going to take one shot, and the shot was you either take it third down or you take it fi rst down. The easi-est one would have been fi rst down, with the ele-ment of surprise.”
Penn State had enough time on the clock to knock in a fi eld goal and extend the game into overtime, where it would beat Illinois 24-17.

Illini goaltender Nick Clarke poke-checked Ohio’s leading goal scorer Brett Agnew in the crotch as he passed through the crease.
Defenseman Austin Zima flipped off the Bobcats’s bench as he went to the penalty box after a post-whistle scrap.
It was a CSCHL rivalry game, and the tension was rising Saturday night until it finally boiled over.
When Illinois’ Eddie Quagliata and Cody von Rueden jumped in to protect Jacob Matysiak, who was in a scuffle with two Ohio players late in the second period, the hometown crowd exploded into cheers, get-ting the fight that most hockey fans hope for when coming to games. But for the Illi-ni, it wasn’t just entertainment, but rather a bonding moment that energized the team.
Von Rueden, who jumped off the bench to come to Matysiak’s aid, called it a mat-ter of defending teammates who he knows would have his back in a fight. Quagliata said his reaction to jump into the scuffle was instinctive as a player, seeing a team-mate outnumbered in an altercation.
Head coach Nick Fabbrini said he likes to see the Illini getting into scraps on the ice, since it helps them become a tougher all-around team to play against.
“I like to see us play with a little bit of an edge,” Fabbrini said. “Obviously, I’m not looking for anyone to play cheap, and we don’t want to play a chippy game, but going
hard to the net and being difficult to play against is stuff we need to do all the time.”
While fights may appear to be fueled with hatred and disdain, there is an eti-quette. After trading a fair share of jabs at each other, Quagliata could be seen tap-ping the Ohio player’s helmet, something he said players do to mutually separate, but also to say: “Hey, good fight.”
“Hockey is known to respect the other team,” Quagliata said. “You don’t like them, of course, but anyone who’s going to have the (guts) to do any of that (stuff), tap them on the butt after.”
Illinois and Ohio didn’t go far enough to warrant discipline from the ACHA, but came close. Dropping the gloves and removing the helmet to formally fight an opponent results in an automatic suspen-sion in the ACHA, but it’s also something defenseman Cody von Rueden, who came off the bench to help protect Matysiak, said he doesn’t think twice about.
“Fighting and aggressiveness are a part of hockey, regardless if it’s illegal techni-cally in the ACHA,” von Rueden said. “I don’t care, I’m still going to jump in for my teammates.”
Von Rueden did receive a two-minute minor penalty for roughing, but said he was happy about what he did to stand up for his teammate.
“It doesn’t stop me, as you can see,” von Rueden said. “If I’m going to get a penal-ty for sticking up for my teammates, I’ll take that penalty all day. These are the
guys I go to war with every single day at the rink, and especially in the heat of the moment with that crowd and the team we were playing with, no way am I going to let my teammates sit down there empty-handed over there. I was the first one to jump in and I’ll do it every single time.”
In most cases, post-whistle altercations are mutually instigated and referees will send both players involved to the box with matching roughing minors, equally penal-izing both teams. That way, neither team benefits with a power play from the inci-dent. A team can benefit from post-whistle scraps through shifts in momentum and intimidation, though.
On Saturday, the Illini’s aggressively physical forecheck was a major factor in their 5-2 win over Ohio, which developed offensive opportunities and led to Illinois scoring its most goals in over a month. Fabbrini said he’s happy about the team’s intimidation factor is finally kicking in, after losing eight of its last 10 games.
“Obviously not everybody can score goals every game, but everybody can finish their checks, everybody can block shots, everybody can play a strong defense and be tough to play against,” Fabbrini said. “That’s something that we’re striv-ing for, is to be tougher and tougher to play against.”

BY ALEX ORTIZSTAFF WRITER
In the 76th minute of the Illinois soc-cer team’s match against Minnesota Thursday, freshman defender Casey Conine made the play of her season.
Sophomore midfielder Taylore Peter-son dribbled down the right side of the box. She spotted her 5-foot-11 teammate running towards the left pole and, as she was falling down, launched a cross.
Conine reacted, swinging her leg and connecting with the ball on her right thigh. The ball deflected into the goal uncontested. She turned around, only to have sophomore midfielder Nicole Breece and junior forward Jannelle Flaws mob her. They knew exactly what that goal meant: a chance to advance to the Big Ten Tournament.
While Conine is not a natural offen-sive player, her size and ability in the air are what make her a threat in the box at either end of the pitch. She has scored three goals this season, a rela-tively high mark for a central defender.
“It’s the confidence to really go at them,” Conine said. “I think it gives anyone the freedom to go in and be the hero. (Senior midfielder and defender) Kassidy (Brown) has done it before and a lot of people have taken the reigns and tried to go and do it.”
But Conine’s unique versatility goes along with her unique story.
The Leslie, Mich., native was home-schooled for her high school years. She played on high-achieving club teams and was invited to participate in com-petitive development programs. As she grew both in height and ability, coaches
realized her potential on the backline. Illinois head coach Janet Rayfield was one of those coaches.
Conine’s ability made an impression on Rayfield, but Rayfield also made one on her prized recruit. When Conine vis-ited Illinois she was struck by Rayfield’s intelligence and composure.
“I felt really comfortable playing under her,” Conine said. “That she would know how to handle situations that I didn’t, and it’s actually been like a blessing to have her as a coach.”
Conine knew she made the right decision to attend Illinois. Her jour-ney would continue to be unique as she enrolled early and began college in the spring semester of 2013. Both she and Rayfield knew that extra time to get used to college would prove valu-able considering the unusual transition ahead of Conine.
“It was interesting,” Conine said. “It was really a big shock at first, but there’s a fantastic support system.”
Like many student-athletes, the chal-lenge of balancing the sport and school proved the most difficult for her.
“It’s like working two full-time jobs,” she said.
It may have been difficult for Conine, but when the 2013 season started, she was ready to hit the ground running. She was in the starting lineup for the season-opener against Notre Dame. Conine scored the only Illinois goal in a 4-1 loss. Like the tall defender Conine is, she scored it off a header in the box.
As the season progressed, Conine developed into a highly trusted defend-er. She was charged several times with
the task of marking and going head-to-head with the opponent’s best offensive weapon. That responsibility has allowed for more self-confidence as the season has progressed.
“I think mostly she’s gotten more com-fortable and is trusting herself more,” Rayfield said. “Not second-guessing a decision, not (thinking), ‘Maybe I should step with this one. Maybe I wouldn’t.’ And just going with her gut instinct.”
That instinct has helped her develop into a real presence on the backline. It is not just her size that opposing offenses have to worry about. While she is danger-ous in the air, she is not afraid to get down and go right at the opponent with the ball. She has also proved her solid recovery speed numerous times as she frequently finds herself as the sole defender between the ball and goalkeeper Claire Wheatley. As a unit, the Illini defense has improved throughout the season, thanks in part to Conine’s development, which is still only a year in the making.
“I think she’s going to continue to grow in her ability to see things on the field,” Wheatley said. “And to read things early and get in there quickly and continue to keep people in front of her.”
With Illinois preparing for the Big Ten Tournament, Conine said she is eager to continue this ride that has really just begun.
“I feel extremely blessed,” she said. “I’m excited. I’m ready to bring it, but I definitely feel blessed.”

Freshman defender grows, improves with team’s progression
BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINIIllinois’ Casey Conine takes a shot during the game against No. 20 Wisconsin at the Illini Soccer and Track Stadium on Oct. 12.
The Atlanta Falcons had a less than glorious end to the 2012 NFL sea-son, and the end to the 2013 season
may be even less glorious than that.The Falcons lost last year’s NFC
Championship game 28-24 to the San Francisco 49ers. Atlanta jumped out to a 17-0 lead early in that game before being outscored by thee touch-downs the rest of the way.
The hangover effect is ever present.An underwhelming 2-6 start to the
season doesn’t begin to tell the story.One of the runaway favorites in the
preseason to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, the Falcons now look more like a runaway freight train on the verge of being derailed.
That fact was never more present than in the 34-10 debacle in Carolina this past Sunday.
Usually efficient Matt Ryan threw three interceptions and did not look like the Pro Bowl quarterback we’ve seen over the past few years.
In fact, his subpar play on the road with the rest of the Falcons is
the reason they are in their current predicament.
The Falcons are 0-4 on the road this season. Ryan has complet-ed 62 percent of his passes but has thrown only six touchdowns to nine interceptions.
The defense is giving up 28 points a game on the road as well, but they aren’t much better at home, either.
Over the tenure of Matt Ryan’s career, the Falcons have been pretty much unbeatable at home during the regular season posting a record of 33-7 entering this season. The Fal-cons have split their four games at the Georgia Dome thus far.
Their two wins were against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who haven’t won a game all season, and the 3-6 St. Louis Rams.
Once the cream of the crop of the NFL, the Falcons are now looking just to get to the postseason.
Do they have a shot?It is very possible. Despite sputter-
ing through the first half of the sea-son, they are just three games out of the last wild card spot. Anything can happen over the span of eight weeks.
They have also been riddled with injuries. Steven Jackson was hurt early in the season and Julio Jones as of late. Roddy White has been
battling a hamstring issue all sea-son. Once healthy, they could make a push. Not to mention Tony Gonzalez has been the model of consistency in his 17th season.
Yes, it is very possible the Atlanta Falcons could make the playoffs.
Possible, but not likely.The most glaring point of interest
in their remaining schedule is that they are yet to defeat a team that is .500 or better.
Left on the schedule are home games against Seattle, New Orleans, Carolina and a pair of tough road games at Green Bay and at San Fran-cisco, all matchups that don’t favor Atlanta.
They have also yet to post a road victory. Aside from Green Bay and San Francisco, the Falcons will travel to Tampa Bay, which they will most likely win, and to Buffalo, which isn’t as likely but still favors Atlanta.
The only other contest that wasn’t mentioned is a Dec. 15 home game against the Washington Redskins. Depending on what Redskins team shows up, it could go either way.
There is no measuring stick for intangibles such as a team’s will or newfound rhythm. Fans are also devoid of the ability to predict inju-ries to players at key positions
around the league.If everything holds true to its cur-
rent form, however, the best Falcons fans could hope for is a 5-3 finish down the stretch. That would make them 7-9 on the season and likely ineligible for the playoffs.
A less than glorious season is sure to produce a more than dramatic offseason.

Falcons’ future doesn’t look bright
DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORTEditor’s note: The following is a partial transcript from an Illini Drive interview with Illinois volleyball head coach Kevin Hambly and Danielle Davis.
Illini Drive: So far for this freshman year for you, how are you adjusting to things of a college game and how are you feeling so far?
Danielle Davis: It’s a lot faster paced for sure, but I love it.
ID: Do you feel like you got more com-fortable as the year has gone on?
DD: For sure. At first it was definite-ly rough, like going to practice I wasn’t really getting used to all the different things I had to switch with technique and
stuff, but now I feel really comfortable.ID: Kevin, how do you feel she’s
adjusted so far?Kevin Hambly: She’s much better
than she was earlier. She was on the struggle bus early on. I mean, all fresh-men are. She’s doing a really nice job. The thing that she’s done is she’s been steady passing for us, and that’s been huge. We’ve been struggling with ball control, and she’s done a nice job of that; although, this weekend she played great defense against Iowa, too. And she’s got a fantastic serve. She scores points every match with her serve, so she’s brought a lot to the team. I like her toughness, I like her competitiveness. She’s got a little edge to her, a little atti-
tude, which we need because we’ve got a lot of sweet girls. I wouldn’t say D is sweet. I like her, she’s a great kid, but I’m glad she’s not sweet.
ID: Michigan, you guys played them earlier this season and won that match in Ann Arbor. What do you remember about that match?
DD: Oh yeah, that was a really tough match, but we won it in five. I remem-ber being in the fifth game, and it was just back and forth with sets. It just got really intense, and I loved it. We defi-nitely pushed at the end and finished, which was great.
ID: Michigan, what’s kind of the break down with them for this week?
KH: I would say they run a lot of dou-
ble-quick stuff and they are more physi-cal than have been in the past. Essen-tially the same team that made it to the Final Four last year. Teams have fig-ured out some of their offense a little better, but they’re kind of coming on right now and getting better. They’re big, they’re physical, they run a real fast offense, which always gives us trou-ble. We put some time in this week, and I think we’re getting better.
ID: For you in the Big Ten play, can you describe how it’s been in this conference?
DD: Every time, I feel like, is a lit-tle different when it comes to play-ing against them, but it’s been a huge change coming from playing in high
school or club to playing in a Big Ten atmosphere. I really like the level of play, though, how intense it is all the time.
ID: How do you like the Wednesday and weekend matches?
DD: I actually like that better because we get to focus on the team a lot more. So, like, the two days before we play a Wednesday, we get to focus on that team and not really focus on two at a time. So I really like that, and then we can scout differently also, so it’s not really confusing.

ILLINI ATHLETES SOUND OFFCOMPILED BY DANIEL DEXTER
get three yards for a fi rst down at the Illi-nois 18-yard line. Quarterback Christian Hackenberg targeted Illini cornerback Darius Mosely both times, and both times Mosely did enough to force incompletions.
Mosely and cornerbacks Jaylen Dunlap and Caleb Day all saw signifi cant time Sat-urday as true freshmen. With defensive back V’Angelo Bentley still out with an ankle injury, all three have seen extend-ed reps.
“When I walk into that meeting room, there’s some talent in that corner meet-ing room,” Beckman said. “We’ve done a great job recruiting corners, and I believe that in the future that’s going to be one of the strong suits of the recruiting classes I’ve recruited.”
On the two plays in the fourth quarter, Mosely was guarding Nittany Lions receiv-er Brandon Felder. He said he fi rst thought Hackenberg would target Penn State’s top
receiver, Allen Robinson.“But then I was like, everybody in the sta-
dium was thinking that, so they’re probably going to try to come to the opposite side,” Mosely said.
That’s exactly what Hackenberg did. Mose-ly knocked the fi rst pass down at the last sec-ond. He said he wasn’t expecting the second one to come his way, but when he saw Felder running the same route, he knew it was.
“The second one I should have had it and ended up dropping it,” he said. “It would have ended the game had I caught that.”
30-second runoff?Near the end of the fi rst half on Saturday,
the Illini were penalized for an illegal snap, and the referee announced to the stadium that it would incur a 30-second runoff if Illi-nois didn’t use a timeout.
The Illini burned their fi nal timeout and ended up being forced to kick a fi eld goal and go into halftime trailing 14-3.
There was some confusion as to the rule, but Beckman said the referees told him it was a 10-second runoff. The referee who announced the 30-second runoff misspoke when he announced it to the stadium and television viewers. Beckman still elected to use his timeout.“We wanted to burn it at that time so we
didn’t lose those seconds,” Beckman said.

fi ve All-American accolades with them , but Illinois retains a garrison of young talent. Including Delgado, fi ve NCAA championship qualifi ers return to this year’s team.
Rankings only add to the pressure of expectations. Right now Illinois is sitting pretty at No. 7 in the NCAA preseason poll , but carrying around the label of top 10 brands the Illini as a team to beat.
The Big Ten should consider changing its name to “The Conference That Dominates Collegiate Wrestling,” but it lacks a certain charm that apparently Legends and Leaders exhibited in large quantities. Right Jim Delany?
Ten of the NCAA’s top-25
teams hail from the Big Ten, 11 if you count Maryland, but we won’t until their exodus from the Atlantic Coast Conference is offi cial next year . For now the Terps only exist in my mind as Big Ten wannabes.
The NCAA might as well tell the other conferences not to show up, the championship will just be a battle royale between the best of the Midwest.
If I could offer Heffernan and his athletes a sort of mantra for the season, Nelly’s inspiring lyric “I ain’t in it to win, to win it I’m all in” would defi nitely be a contender. As far as I’m concerned, the song was made for wrestling.
