UI alumnus to use MacArthur grant for Chicago community
BY CHARLOTTE COLLINS AND JASON CHUNASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITORS
Juan Salgado, Universi-ty alumnus, said he nev-er expected he would be named a MacArthur Fel-low . In fact, it was so unforeseen, he almost missed the announcement.
“I was shocked,” Salgado said. “First of all, I didn’t recognize the number so I almost didn’t answer; they actually called twice. When I finally under-stood what it was, I was
shocked. I was grateful. I was speechless.”
Salgado was named a 2015 MacArthur Fellow on Monday. He will receive a “no-strings-attached” $625,000 grant from the MacArthur Foundation, also known as a “genius grant,” to continue his research .
Salgado graduated from the University in 1993 with master’s degree in urban planning . His work now focuses on immigrant communities centered in the southwest area of Chicago.
According to the MacAr-thur Foundation’s website, the fellowship “celebrates and inspires the creative potential of individu-als through no-strings-attached fellowships.”
The fellows are nomi-nated to the program by external nominators who are encouraged to sug-gest “the most creative people they know” from a broad range of disciplines including dance, journal-ism, various sciences and economics.
Fellows are then select-ed by an independent selection committee that consists of leaders in the sciences, arts and humani-ties, for-profi t and nonprof-it industries.
Salgado developed the Instituto del Progreso Latino in 2001 in Chica-go . The institute works with adults who are often underemployed and face barriers in the working

Undergraduates with teaching assistants of the same race or ethnicity are more likely to achieve higher grades, experts say.
These fi ndings were fi rst published in September by graduate student Lester Lusher, his advisor Scott Carrell of the University of California at Davis, and Pro-fessor Doug Campbell from the New Economic School in Russia.
This is considered the fi rst study on the racial interac-tions between students and their teaching assistants.
The researchers used data on students’ grades and teaching assistant demo-graphics from the economics department of an undisclosed Californian university.
“Even in the second week of school, students are more likely to attend their teach-ing assistants’ session if they are of a similar race,” Lush-er said.
The team has determined two mechanisms that are the primary causes of their fi nd-ings: match quality and the role-model effect.
Match quality, Lusher said, is when “some characteris-tics of teaching assistants of certain races benefi t stu-dents of a similar race. That could be language; it could be learning style and all kinds of things. By chance, the teaching assistant has a
characteristic that benefi ts the student.”
The role-model effect is when “the students look up to their teaching assistants and feel more comfortable approaching them and ask-ing them questions, mere-ly because their race is the same or similar to them-selves,” he said.
The team also found that the correlation between teaching assistants’ corre-spondence with students and a student receiving high-er grades is most apparent in essay-based exams as opposed to multiple choice. Researchers additionally found if teaching assistants know the content prior to the exam, they may teach to the test.
Regardless of race or eth-nicity, Rory Johnson, teach-ing assistant for education-al psychology, said teaching
assistants are a “resource.”Inside Higher Education
reports, the role of teach-ing assistants is becoming increasingly signifi cant with assistants amounting to 15 percent of the teaching work-force in higher education.
Lusher said as class sizes increase, there is an increas-ing anonymity between pro-fessors and students and questions can easily be left unanswered. The oppor-tunity to attend discussion sessions, ask questions and review material in a peer-based environment allows students to consolidate course knowledge to obtain a higher grade.

Engineering reaches out to youthBY VIVIENNE HENNINGCONTRIBUTING WRITER
The College of Engineer-ing hopes to use specialized outreach and the imple-mentation of new programs to attract a more diverse student population, and they’re trying to build their future classes early on.
“It is important what we do to engage more and more students, as early as possi-ble, from underrepresent-ed groups, said Andreas Cangellaris, dean of Engi-neering. “(It’s important to)
have them thinking about and getting excited about engineering,”
Cangellaris said stu-dents need to start thinking about the competitiveness of engineering as early as possible and how diffi cult it may be to succeed. He said middle schools and high schools are aiming to bet-ter prepare students who may be interested in pur-suing engineering.
Kevin Pitts, professor in physics, said some stu-dents don’t have the proper
resources to help them pre-pare for the rigorous cours-es that engineering offers.
“The biggest thing is the problem of unequal oppor-tunity,” he said. “Students who are living in lower socioeconomic areas do not have the opportunities that students who are living in richer areas do. We’re try-ing to focus on what we can do to help students be bet-ter prepared and level the playing fi eld.”

Solar power will account for two percent of the Uni-versity’s energy source next year.
Construction on the 20.8 acre solar farm — locat-ed south of Windsor Road and west of First Street — began July 20 and the clean-energy project is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.
“They are actually slightly ahead of schedule right now,” said Morgan Johnston, project contact and director of sustainabil-ity at facilities and service, F&S.
The project was approved in December 2014, F&S and the UI Student Sustain-ability Committee (SSC) entered a power purchase agreement with Phoenix Solar LLC to complete the project.
The farm will cost roughly $15.5 million over 20 years, resulting in a $5.3 million up, front cost with $1.05 million coming from the SSC over three years and $4.25 coming from the campus utilities budget.
Phoenix Solar LLC will oversee all of the design work as well as the instal-lation of panels, electrical
grid operations and farm maintenance over a 10 year period. After the 10 years, responsibilities will be handed to F&S.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the solar farm will be one of the largest on-site
university solar farms in the country.
The solar farm will gen-erate 7.86 million kilowatt-hours in its fi rst year, pro-ducing two percent of the University’s total energy

panel expected to hold a hearing in the coming weeks on Volkswagen’s emissions cheating scandal sent a letter to the automaker Tuesday requesting information, including documents detailing VW’s development of software that apparently allowed it to get around air emissions testing.
In the letter to Michael Horn, Volkswagen Group of America’s president and CEO, Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., and the panel’s top ranking Democrat, Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey, asked the automaker for records relating to emissions tests as well as documents “related to the development, approval, testing and use” of software in some 500,000 U.S.-sold diesel-powered vehicles.
That software, which VW has acknowledged deploying in some 11 million vehicles worldwide, apparently allowed the vehicles to detect when they were undergoing emissions testing and turn full emissions controls on only during the test. The scandal led to VW CEO Martin Winterkorn’s resignation last week.
“It seems Volkswagen had a dirty little secret, and it’s
not just consumers who are feeling betrayed. There are many unanswered questions and we will get the facts and the answers that the American people deserve,” Upton said in a statement along with Oversight a nd Invest igat ions Subcommittee Chairman Tim Murphy, R-Pa.
Murphy and the top Democrat on the subcommittee, Rep. Diana
DeGette of Colorado, also signed the letter to VW. The Oversight a nd Invest igat ions Subcommittee is expected to hold the hearing.
The four also sent a letter to Environmental P rotect ion Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy asking for information, including a timeline of how VW’s alleged violations of
the Clean Air Act were discovered; a detailed description of the agency’s testing procedures, and its plans for responding to the violations.
The committee leaders asked VW and EPA offi cials to meet with committee staff for an initial briefi ng by the end of the week. They also asked VW to provide all the requested documentation by Oct. 13.

world due to immigrant status and struggles with literacy. The programs aim to equip people with the skills needed for high-er-paying employment.
Since it was founded, the Instituto has expand-ed to include a program to prepare people for careers in health as well as man-ufactur-ing tech-n o l o g y. S a lgado said the institute strives to add r e s s o t h e r i s s u e s faced by its stu-d e n t s such as transpor-t a t i o n , c h i l d care and elder care.
The model developed by Salgado is being emulat-ed in multiple other states including California, Indi-ana, Minnesota and Texas.
Salgado, who grew up in Calumet Park, Illi-nois, said his parents infl uenced his decision to study urban planning. His father, who was a steel-worker, and his mother, a housewife, raised money
to fund scholarships for other children in his com-munity to attend school. Salgado said they had a strong belief in education and the betterment of the city and the people that lived in it.
Similar to his parents’ goals, Salgado said he wants to use the grant to “catalyze the betterment of our communities,” but he doesn’t have any defi -nite plans for what he will
do with the grant yet.
“I want to invest i t i n m a k i n g the city a stron-ger city,” S a lgado said. “I b e l i e v e our orga-nization has been and will
continue to be a proof point that immigrants can ascend, and particu-larly Latino immigrants, Mexican immigrants, can ascend career ladders and make huge contributions to our economic, social and civic lives. Let that be an example for other organizations and other cities to look at.”

David Naber, senior in Engineering, said he has had teaching assistants “for almost every single class, and they’ve been amazingly helpful. They know the mate-rial well and know how best to advise you to do well in the course.”
The tutelage provided by teaching assistants is linked
with students achieving higher results. Whether this is due to similarities in race and ethnicity between teach-ing-assistants and students is still unclear as only one department at one university has been studied. Before this can infl uence policy, Lusher said, further research needs to be conducted at other uni-versities and in different departments.
TEACHINGFROM 1A
The college offers two programs to give students the opportunity to be more involved in engineering.
Pitts said the college of Engineering partnered with a non-profi t organiza-tion in Chicago to engage underrepresented middle school students in STEM fi elds. He said about half of the students are Afri-can-American and the oth-er half are Hispanic stu-dents. He said the college also works directly with teachers to help them bet-ter prepare the students and understand the latest breakthroughs in math and science education.
The college is also devel-oping the Red Shirt Pro-gram, which will offer resources for success to students who may be behind due to extenuating circumstances.
Pitts said the program will initially involve 30 students who have been accepted to the University who are hard working, have potential and show an inter-est in being engineers or scientists. It will be a fi ve year program targeted at students from lower socio-economic backgrounds and underrepresented groups who didn’t receive the prop-er preparation to succeed in engineering in high school.
“We have a group of stu-dents, with lots of men-
toring, and a set of cours-es they’re going to take together so they can kind of build a community, so they can work together to get through this program,” he said.
Scholarships such as the Engineering Visionary Scholarship Endowment Fund may provide students interested in the Red Shirt Program with the ability to afford college.
Cangellaris stressed the importance of scholar-ships and said the college would not have increasing enrollment numbers with-out scholarships.
Kendall Riechman, junior in Engineering, said she is taking an engi-neering class with students from Spain. She said the students talk about ideas and topics she never would have thought about if they hadn’t said it.
“It’s just cool to see all the different perspectives and how everyone comes here to receive an educa-tion,” Riechman said.
The college is putting forth new ideas and meth-ods to attract students from a variety of backgrounds to come to the University.
“We want to make sure that representation of our society is in everything we do, in everything that we design, in everything that we think about,” Cangel-laris said. “It’s very impor-tant for every member of the society to have repre-sentation and that helps the
way the society goes about its future.”
Pitts said the college has increased efforts to attract a more diverse array of stu-dents specifi cally in terms of race, gender and geo-graphical location to bring more skills and ideas to the University.
“It’s been shown through numerous studies that bringing together peo-
ple with different back-grounds, and different his-tories, cultures, identities, ideas makes for a better environment,” he said. “So when it comes to solving hard problems, the more diverse the group of people that is attacking that prob-lem, the more creative the solutions are.”

demand. By 2020 the farm will be capable of produc-ing 12.5 million kilowatt-hours per year, Johnston said.
“We should be very proud of the solar farm, it’s one of the largest solar ener-gy arrays on campus in the country. The two percent is just an image of how much further we have to go,” Johnston said.
The solar farm contrib-utes to the University’s efforts to become a more sustainable and carbon-neutral campus over the next 25 years, as outlined in the Illinois Climate Action Plan, iCAP.
In 2008, the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Com-mitment aimed to achieve carbon-neutrality no later than 2050 but the newest
revision of iCAP proposed a study to research ways for the University to achieve carbon neutrality closer to 2035.
“Through my past expe-riences, there used to be so many roadblocks for these types of technology being implemented on a campus, but the Student Sustain-ability Committee and the Facilities & Service depart-ment remained very active to make it happen,” said Monica Chhatwani, SSC member and F&S intern.
The University’s iCAP plan is supervised by Ben McCall, associate director for campus sustainability.
“It is a very important step for our campus, it represents the fi rst major (step) of renewable energy generation,” McCall said. “So far we have had small arrangements on campus. This is really huge.”
Johnston and Amy Liu, Student Sustainability
Committee president, said students can contribute to iCAP efforts through small actions, such as turning off computers at night and doing light retrofi ts, reduc-ing carbon output.
Students can also con-tribute to larger efforts, such as the solar farm, through the iCAP online portal. The portal serves as an encyclopedia for students to view current sustainability projects as well as past ones. Propos-als for projects can be sent through the portal until Oct. 11.
“Energy conservation and clean energy togeth-er will do the majority of making campus carbon-neutral,” Johnston said.
McCall said he and F&S are in conversations with several companies to pur-chase power from a wind farm within the near future.
“(The next) big step
likely to occur, is the pur-chase of renewable ener-gy off of campus. We don’t know exactly how much it is going to be yet, but it is moving forward,” he said. “We have received requests for proposals from wind companies, and we are now in the process of actu-ally having to fi nalize an agreement.”
McCall also cited the efforts of student sustain-ability RSOs as a catalyst for clean energy initiatives on campus.
“What was cool about the solar farm is there were many opportunities for stu-dent input on how the proj-ect would be developed and stuff like that. It signals to the campus that there is more potential for students to get involved,” Liu said. “This isn’t something that just administrators do.”

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICEFLORENCE, S.C. —
Three Civil War cannons were raised from the mud-dy water of the Pee Dee Riv-er on Tuesday, remnants of Union General William Sher-man’s march through the Carolinas in 1865.
The cannons were thrown off of the CSS Pee Dee as Sherman’s troops approached after the burn-ing of Columbia.
The recovery was made near Florence off U.S. 301 at the site of a former Confed-erate Naval Yard. The effort was headed by archaeolo-gists from
the University of South Carolina.
A crowd of scientists, Civil War buffs and other onlook-ers cheered when the can-nons were raised by a large yellow backhoe from the bank of the river. Scuba divers had attached lines to the more than 150-year-old armaments.
The cannons will be trans-ported to the Warren Lasch Conservation Center in North Charleston for con-servation. That is the same lab where the Civil War-era CSS Hunley — the fi rst sub-marine to sink a ship in com-bat — is being restored.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICEBALTIMORE — The six
Baltimore police offi cers charged in Freddie Gray’s arrest and death will be tried separately over the course of the next several months, with proceedings against Offi cer William G. Porter starting Nov. 30.
The new timeline, which pushes the trials back from a previous-ly scheduled date of Oct. 13, was established dur-ing a hearing in Circuit Court on Tuesday after-noon, where fi ve of the six offi cers appeared before Judge Barry Williams for the fi rst time. Porter
waived his right to attend the hearing.
The delay was related to several issues, includ-ing new evidence being submitted in the case in recent weeks and the pros-ecution’s desire to try the offi cers in a specifi c order — in part because some made statements about the others’ actions during Gray’s arrest and trans-port in the back of a police van in April, where he sus-tained a severe spinal cord injury.
The trials of the fi ve other offi cers will occur between January and March.

“Can you hear me now?” was his fi rst tweet.
Snowden gained almost 300,000 followers in less than two hours after he tweeted his fi rst message Tuesday morning — a cheeky swipe at his for-mer employer, the NSA, whose account only has 76,000 followers. (The NSA is also the only Twit-ter account that Snowden follows.)

DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORTThistle, an American
Kestrel Falcon, was found Tuesday after six days away from her home at Vet-erinary Medicine’s Small Animal Clinic.
Thistle escaped Sept. 23 during a routine walk on the gloved hand of her handler after the jesses that kept her tethered to her handler came loose. Julia Whittington, wild-life medical clinic direc-tor, said the clinic has nev-er had an event like this occur before because most birds cared for at the clinic are not fully fl ighted.
Thistle arrived at the clinic in 2012 to be treated for an eye injury but was doomed because the loss of
one eye left her unable to hunt prey.
According to Veterinary Medicine’s website, Thistle was spotted near the Col-ony West condominium building — about two miles from the small animal clin-ic — Tuesday morning. She was coaxed out of the air with food by Whittington and Nichole Rosenhagen.
The site reported This-tle is now recovering and lost four ounces, about 12 percent of her body weight, while she was missing, and thanked the public for their help in locating the bird. In the time This-tle was missing, the clinic received almost 100 posts and phone calls about sightings.

Planned Parenthood’s leader defended the group against accusations that it sells tissue from aborted fetuses for profi t, telling U.S. lawmakers that claims based on undercover vid-eos made by anti-abortion groups are “offensive and categorically untrue.”
“Planned Parenthood policies not only comply with, but indeed go beyond the requirements of the law,” Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, told members of the House Committee on Oversight and Govern-ment Reform on Tuesday
in Washington. Using fetal tissue in medical research is legal, she said.
Conservative House Republicans have demand-ed a government shutdown if lawmakers don’t defund Planned Parenthood, the women’s reproductive health care provider whose services include abortion. The Republican-controlled Senate and House plan to pass a short-term spending bill this week that includes Planned Parenthood funds, though that sets up another showdown when the mea-sure expires Dec. 11.
Conservatives have said they are outraged by undercover videos pur-porting to show Planned
Parenthood offi cials dis-cussing reimbursement for providing tissue from aborted fetuses to researchers. The organiza-tion has said it doesn’t sell fetal tissue for profi t, and instead receives the cost of collecting and deliver-ing it. Richards said the videos were “deceptively edited” and that threats against doctors who pro-vide abortion and their families have gotten worse since the videos surfaced this summer, Richards said.
House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Repub-lican whose decision last week to resign was partly driven by the dispute over
Planned Parenthood, said Sunday the House will set up a select committee to investigate the videos.
The group receives about one-third of its annual rev-enue, or about $450 mil-lion, from federal sources, according to the Congres-sional Budget Offi ce. Of that amount, about $390 million is provided from Medicaid. Planned Par-enthood affi liates report-ed spending $64.4 million in Title X funding, or fed-eral family planning fund-ing, in fi scal 2012, accord-ing to the Congressional Research Service.
A ban on federally fund-ed abortions has been in place for decades.
Planned Parenthood leader says claims about fetal tissue untrue
The recent Marriage Equality Act and other current progressive social
movements have been met with no shortage of resistance as of late. I’ve seen a significant increase in protests and public condemnation coming from celebrities to the common man.
Just about every one of these protests in America has been in the name of God: specifically, the Christian God. As much as we do our best to maintain a healthy separation of church and state, the simple fact of life is that people largely base their morals on their faith, and those morals often influence the law of the land.
Should the views of the church alter the views of the collective people, in turn, the law would be likely to change as well. Between the incidents in the media, such as Kim Davis refusing to give a marriage license to a gay couple and the never-ending supply of preaching protestors on the Quad, my view of the church began to grow more and more negative; I saw nothing but hate come out of it, and in turn, out of the majority of society.
This past week, however, one of the most renowned people on
the planet made me reconsider all of that.
Last Thursday, Pope Francis attended a joint meeting of Congress, and called for many changes largely favored by progressive parties. In his address, he heavily defended United States immigration, encouraged more lenient borders, endorsed environmentally-f r i e n d l y l e g i s l a t i o n , m e r c i l e s s l y condemned the arms trade, plead for the abolishment of the death penalty and even went as far as to refer to unbridled capitalism as the “dung of the Devil.”
Kyle Fouts, sophomore in DGS and a deistic Christian — the belief in God based only on reason and nature — spoke very favorably of the Pope’s address, stressing how much the church needed this shift in attitude.
“The pope’s thoughts were a refreshing change of pace for the Catholic Church, an organization steeped so strongly in the past that their modern policy leaves bitter tastes in the mouths of many,” Fouts said. “I expected a certain amount of
progressivism from good old Frank, but he far surpassed my expectations. I think that overall, his actions were a step forward for society as well as the church, and I couldn’t be happier.”
So how can we merge these social ideas with religion so they can work together?
Look at how church policies changed from the 18th to 20th centuries. Not even 60 years ago, interracial marriage was still illegal in half the country. Rules like these were developed centuries ago in the name of the church, a nd though it definitely happened far later than it should have, the ethics of the church have
progressed with society. We definitely should not stop
progressing now. The pope’s address may be the start of another shift in religious morals, and with the recent social uprising seen in the past decade or two, a backing from the Church just might be what this country needs to send us into a new age of political and social progression.
Alyssa Solis, freshman in FAA and a practicing Catholic,
largely favors religion’s evolution with society and hopes for further change in the future.
“Religion should definitely progress with the times; it’s absolutely stupid to live by the same standards as we did thousands of years ago,” Solis said. “I’d like the Church to be more opening and accepting of all people regardless of religion, sexual orientation, gender, age and race.”
Now, don’t mistake this event for the Church entirely turning a new leaf. Two days ago, Pope Francis openly defended Kim Davis’s right to refuse the marriage license in the way she did, due to a “conscientious objection.” Church policy hasn’t completely evolved with the times, and it still has a ways to go to erase millennia of hate practiced in the name of God. Let’s also remember that there are dozens of other denominations of Christianity that don’t follow the Pope’s lead; last Thursday’s address was by no means a massive overhaul of policy.
But it’s a place to start. One massively influential man displayed, if nothing else, an open mind last week. That open mind can lead to the influence of millions, if not billions, of others across the world. This is how change is made, and this is how we evolve as a society.

EDITORIALUI needs to
extend diversity through TAs
B eyond the aca-demic opportuni-ties of attending the University, the diverse student
body provides experiences people might not receive in their hometowns. While some may live in com-munities with racially and culturally diverse popula-tions, the University is a mecca of cultures. From ex-periencing i-Unite’s hijab challenge on the Main Quad on Monday to Holi to a Black Lives Matter protest, there are events to open one’s eyes here that can’t always be found at home.
Breaking down the num-bers: 14 percent of our un-dergraduate student popula-tion is Asian, five percent is African-American and eight percent is Hispanic. The va-riety of student ethnicities need diverse teaching popu-lations to match it.
Recently, a new study by graduate student Lester Lusher and professors from the University of California at Davis and the New York Economic School in Rus-sia showed that undergradu-ate students are more likely to earn higher grades when their teaching assistants are of the same race or ethnic-ity.
Lusher said as early as the second week of school, stu-dents are more likely to at-tend their TAs session if they are a similar race. The study results were complet-ed at an anonymous Califor-nia university.
It’s important to have di-versity in all of our faculty members because they pro-vide viewpoints from their own personal backgrounds we may not otherwise re-ceive.
This fall, University en-rollment of Latino students has increased 11.5 percent; African-American student enrollment increased 5.4 percent in the last year. But the numbers just increasing isn’t enough. We question what the results of the study would be if it was conducted at the University of Illinois. Like the study says, students relate better to TAs who are the same ethnicity. By in-creasing the amount of TAs — or the diversity within the current amount of TAs — we could potentially increase diversity in incoming fresh-man classes, which adminis-tration strives for.
The University does not track the racial ethnicity of its TAs, but this is some-thing we encourage it to re-cord and promote just like it does with enrollment num-bers.
And the enrollment num-bers we have still are not as diverse as The Daily Illini Editorial Board would like them to be. In order to pro-vide a truly diverse cam-pus with a variety of learn-ing opportunities, we need to have TAs of all races in-volved in every college and area of study. Seeing TAs in academic roles can be in-spiring to someone of a sim-ilar ethnicity who isn’t sure if they fit at the University.
Providing diverse leader-ship in the classroom ulti-mately provides two bene-fits. It provides a method for students to learn and under-stand a culture other than their own while also creat-ing a space where people of minority students feel com-fortable to learn.

H ere are a few facts nobody remembers about the 2009 Grammy Awards:
Coldplay performed “Viva la Vida,” Robert Plant and Alison Krauss took home the award for “Record of the Year” and Kanye West didn’t do anything all that controversial.
However, one significant event concerning the 2009 Grammys that is still discussed today surrounds the domestic abuse scandal between Rihanna and her boyfriend at the time, Chris Brown.
This week, Chris Brown made the news again as Australia announced iy denied him a visa due to his history of abusive behavior. Since October marks Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, I say we should take this Chris Brown visa incident and begin a serious discussion about domestic abuse.
Michaelia Cash, the women’s minister of Australia, said that with regards to Brown’s visa application, “People need to understand if you are going to commit domestic violence and then you want to travel around
the world, there are going to be countries that say to you, ‘You cannot come in because you are not of the character we expect.’”
These are good steps in the right direction with regards to taking domestic abuse seriously rather than overlooking it because of Brown’s fame.
Chris Brown is not the only celebrity who has been wrapped up in an abuse scandal. Sean Penn, Hope Solo, Floyd Mayweather and Ray Rice are some of a long list of celebrities who have been accused in the past. But when these celebrities are suspected of domestic violence, much of the attention goes to the star, their character, their actions and their fame — or infamy.
Thus, many of these Hollywood-level abuse incidences have failed to begin an impactful discussion on how domestic violence affects millions of everyday families across the country. Rather,
the fact that these celebrities continue their fame after their crimes sends a dangerous message that it is OK to turn a blind eye to this kind of abuse — an ignorance that is already a large part of the problem.
One in four women will experience domestic violence in their life and nearly three million men are victims of domestic violence in the United States. These victims become
statistics as a result of cycles of continuously escalating physical and emotional abuse from a family member or spouse. Even given the many high profile cases of domestic abuse that make the news, the statistics surrounding this c o n t r o v e r s i a l issue have failed to significantly improve over the years.
This should be of special concern to
college students as women ages 18 to 34 are at greatest risk of becoming victims of domestic violence. Both Chris Brown and Rihanna are extremely public figures who have a strong influence on this exact
age group. After the photos of Rihanna’s beaten face surfaced in 2009, one would have thought that, after healing, Rihanna would become a role model to people around the world who have been victims of domestic abuse.
Fast-forward a few years and Chris Brown regains his fame, Rihanna gets back into a relationship with Brown and records a song with him. Though Rihanna is not to blame for the initial incident, she had the opportunity to stand up for millions of victims across the country and didn’t take it. Thus after a few years, Brown put out a few good albums, the issue was swept under the rug, and with Brown’s regained fan base, it seemed — to a certain extent — he was forgiven.
Overall, the chronicle of Chris Brown and Rihanna speaks to the fact that we have set a precedent of some lenience with a behavior that shouldn’t be tolerated. Australia joined U.K. and Canada in refusing entry to Brown based on his conviction — a step in the right direction to taking domestic abuse cases more seriously.

Thinking about his impact, Harris reminisced over Wallace as a person.

University discusses recent health rankingBY MADDIE GALASSISTAFF WRITER
Last month, the University was given a new ranking to crunch on.
An article on Greatist.com named the University the seventh-healthiest school in the country. The University also became one of Time’s top-fi fty healthiest schools.
A young adult’s col-lege years aren’t notori-ously known for being the healthiest.
And recently, Princeton Review named the Univer-sity as the nation’s top par-ty school. The University is known for a day-long event, Unoffi cial St. Patrick’s Day, where students engage in drinking-related activities. Campustown’s legal-bar entry is also 19 and above.
Lor Clincy, sophomore in FAA, said these factors may contradict the health-iest-college ranking.
“With our bars being 19, it only encourages under-age drinking,” she said.
But Clincy said she still believes the University has many resources for stu-dents who are conscien-tious about their health.
“We have a lot of resourc-es for students to work out,” Clincy said. “The counsel-ing centers are also good for mental health.”
Janet Kroencke, assistant director of student wellness, said the University tries to stay one step ahead of the game in the amount of resources it offers.
“Our health center pro-vides health education sur-rounding both physical activity and nutrition,” Kro-encke said. “I’m assuming that the fact that we have so many services for students helped make us one of the healthiest schools.”
Kroencke explained that taking advantage of the Uni-versity’s personal trainers, as well as group fi tness class-es, gives students an edge in
terms of health.“Every year, the number
of students buying group fi tness class passes grows,” Kroencke said. “What we do is try to stay ahead of the game in the classes we offer and make sure that we have the latest and greatest in class formats.”
Some of the most popular classes include body attack, body jam, body pump and Zumba. Kroencke said some-times, these classes are so full that they have to turn students away.
The University also hires employees that are informed about fi tness. They switch the classes made available to students annually and try to have what students expect to take and more.
Emily Greibe, former three-sport athlete and soph-omore in FAA, said ARC classes helped her stay fi t and transition from high school to college.
“In high school, I worked out every day with differ-ent sports teams, sometimes twice a day, so I was very active,” Greibe said. “I was really concerned about how I would stay active in college, but freshman year, I was in a dorm across from the ARC and went every single day.”
Greibe has taken Zumba, yoga and body combat at the ARC.
In terms of equipment, the University keeps a fi ve-to-10-year plan in mind for what is coming in and out of the gyms and rotates old equip-ment with new equipment.
The University was also
one of the fi rst schools to offer an instructional kitch-en to its students. Staffed with Dietetics majors, they help educate students on nutrition and informed about healthy food choices.
“We do nutrition consul-tations and look at students’ food logs and explain what they’re missing and how they can make their diet more substantial,” Kroencke said.
The University’s dining halls also help students make healthy choices.
The dining hall chefs learn what is healthy and what isn’t, and then they create their own menus. According to Erica Nehrling Meador, assistant director and dieti-tian of Dining Services, one chef went vegan over the summer just to come up with more vegan recipes.
“We work to have a vari-ety of foods, so we can offer students both the comfort foods they want, but also have healthy dishes avail-able regularly as well,” Meador said. “We just try to make sure that there’s enough variety of healthy
dishes that students will hopefully choose them over the comfort food.”
Approximately 25 per-cent of the food that the dining halls offers consists of locally grown ingredi-ents, according to Meador. Around 90 percent of the food is also made from scratch.
Overall, Meador said this ranking refl ects the Univer-sity’s hard work to provide healthy options.
“I think so much went into UIUC getting this ranking,” Meador said. “We push our chefs to really think about health, and that’s something that’s in their minds all the time, and they also know that everything is okay in moderation.”

customizable. “We don’t limit you on
number of sauces,” Nie-meier said. “They’re all free, and we encourage you to mix it up.”
The set-up can be com-plicated for new custom-ers, Dvorachek said.
“The fi rst time I came here, I didn’t really know what to expect, but the peo-ple were really helpful,” said Garrett Williams, senior in ACES. “Also, their cookies are like 50 cents, which is a plus, and they’re fresh baked.”
The restaurant also has an option to make half of the pizza into breadsticks and add a salad.
“I just thought it was very reasonably priced, and you get a lot of options,” Williams said.
Dvorachek had a Uni-versity actuarial science major calculate all of the possible orders, and said she came up with 16.77 million different orders.
“We’re constantly com-ing up with new, fun piz-zas to keep it interesting,” Neimeier said. “Our phi-losophy is to keep it sim-ple as possible, so we’re not trying to have the most ingredients out of any-body, but we want to intro-duce new ingredients on a monthly basis to keep it interesting.”
Azzip’s combination for the University is the “Orange and Bleu,” a buf-falo chicken pizza with bleu cheese, which will be
available during October.Although Azzip hasn’t
done much large-scale advertising, employees have handed out samples on Green Street and dis-tributed 1,000 buy-one-get-one coupons for the Pyg-malion Festival.
Some students may have also found Azzip on Tinder. The profi le tells users they can “get it hot, fresh and steaming.”
“It all makes people think about your brand and think, ‘That looks fun, I might try that,’” Dvo-
rachek said.Now that the restaurant
has a permanent sign, Dvo-rachek said he will start doing larger-scale adver-tising to get customers to try Azzip.
“Because no one knows who Azzip Pizza is here in town, they haven’t giv-en us a shot yet,” he said. “Once people try the prod-uct, they’ll see what we’re about. They’re going to enjoy it.”

A fresh lookat Champaign-Urbana
magazinePick up a copy every Friday
BY MARA SHAPIROSTAFF WRITER
Students at the University may not realize that Jason Segel’s latest movie role — David Foster Wal-lace — has ties with the Cham-paign-Urbana area.
Wallace’s father, Professor James D. Wallace, is a profes-sor emeritus of philosophy at the University, and his mother, Sally Foster Wallace, was a professor of English at Parkland College. Wallace attended Yankee Ridge School and Urbana High School, where he was a regionally ranked junior tennis player.
Wallace is known for his essays, non-fiction works and novels. His most notorious book, “Infinite Jest”, published in 1996, is over 1,000 pages and features 388 end notes. The acclaimed writer strug-gled with addiction and depression and ultimately committed suicide in 2008. Recently, the biopic “The End of the Tour” was released in
theaters in July, starring Segel as Wallace.
Two of Wallace’s former col-leagues at Illinois State Univer-sity, Charles Harris, professor emeritus of English, and Robert McLaughlin, current professor of English, will be presenting “Infi-nite Quest: Unraveling the Life and Work David Foster Wallace” at 7 p.m, on Wednesday at the Urbana Free Library. The lecture will talk about Wallace’s life and career as well as the major themes of his work, according to McLaughlin.
“If they’ve had their inter-est piqued by the film or things they’ve read and want to know more about David Foster Wal-lace, this is the event for them,” McLaughlin wrote via email.
McLaughlin and Harris became close with Wallace during his time as a professor at ISU. Harris was the chair of the English depart-ment for 15 years and hired Wal-lace in 1993.
Carol Inskeep, adult servic-es librarian at the Urbana Free Library, came up with the idea of “Infinite Quest.”
“Part of what prompted it is the release of the movie, ‘The End of the Tour’,” Inskeep said. “There
has been a long-standing interest in David Foster Wallace books at our library. I was interested that these books that have been out for so long are still of interest with people.”
Inskeep went on to explain that she is hoping that Harris and McLaughlin can help Wallace’s fans understand his more com-plex works.
“Some people just love it and take to it easily. I just find it daunt-ing,” she said. “These two guys can lend a hand to those of us who want to give it a try.”
Harris said that “Infinite Jest” has become iconic because people can relate to the issues Wallace discusses in it.
“It is one of the more conse-quential novels written over the past half-century or so. Because of its complexities, it’s found a place in the academy. It will con-tinue to be assigned and taught,” Harris wrote via email. “Its sensi-tive treatment of addiction strikes a chord in readers of all ages. Many high school students strug-gling with addiction problems are drawn to it, despite its difficulty.”
Both Harris and McLaughlin have seen “The End of the Tour.”
“I think it succeeded on every level,” Harris wrote. “Segel doesn’t attempt an impression of David, but gets him from inside, in a sensitive, accurate characteriza-tion. The Wallace estate has come out against the film, but I believe that David, had he been able to see it, would have appreciated it, just as the members of his family who have seen it reportedly did.”
Inskeep herself is a fan of the author for many reasons.
“He is widely recognized as one
of the best authors of this genera-tion. His work is profoundly fun-ny. It’s an interesting mix of pop culture and deep literary signif-icance. And he’s from Urbana,” she said.
Harris said that, even though Wallace has been deceased for seven years, his work and legacy will still live on in various ways.

There’s a new option for fresh, fast food on campus.
Azzip Pizza opened on Sept. 9 at 505 E. Green St. in Champaign and boasts a 2 minute and 20 sec-ond cooking time for its pizzas.
“We’re thrilled to have the chance to bring a new, exciting concept to Champaign and the University of Illinois,” said Brad Niemeier, who founded the busi-ness after winning the Burton D. Morgan Business Plan Competi-tion at Purdue University in 2012.
After opening two restaurants in Evansville, Indiana, Niemeier wanted to branch out.
“Looking around at different universities that are close to us, it really just made the most sense,” he said. “It’s a great student pop-ulation; it’s all very compact right on Green Street. I couldn’t ask for a better location.”
He said keeping the franchise within the Big Ten was partially a coincidence, but the high foot traffic and large student popula-tion was a draw.
The resemblance between Pur-due’s colors and Azzip’s black and yellow color scheme is also a coincidence, Neimeier said.
“I didn’t want it to be the tradi-
tional Italian flag colors,” he said. “I wanted it to be something dif-ferent because it’s not your tra-ditional pizza place.”
Neimeier’s favorite restaurant at Purdue was Chipotle, and his favorite food is pizza, so he decid-ed to merge the two. His business plan focuses on food transparen-cy and high-quality ingredients.
“We like to have our oven show-cased right in the middle. We like to have people be part of our pro-cess,” said Champaign general manager Eric Dvorachek. “We don’t like to hide anything from people.”
Azzip Pizza’s ingredients are sourced from local businesses, like Smoky’s House BBQ, which supplies their pulled pork. Since the business is based in Evans-ville, many of its ingredients come from Indiana. The chick-en is from Gerber’s Amish Farm, which means it’s antibiotic-free.
“We’re very proud of the way we make and prepare each of our ingredients and our pizzas,” Dvo-rachek said.
Following the Chipotle mod-el, customers can choose from 15 toppings and six house-made sauces, so the pizza is easily

Freshman earns her place as UI’s starting setter
Illinois face tough road test at WisconsinBY ELI SCHWADRONSTAFF WRITER
The No. 7 Illinois volley-ball team’s wins against Maryland (10-6) and Rut-gers (3-11) over the week-end were near-mirror imag-es of last season’s opening two Big Ten matches. Like last year, the Illini (11-2) began conference play with 3-0 sweeps of the Terps and the Scarlet Knights, led by stellar defensive play.
In 2014, Illinois held Maryland and Rutgers to .053 and .226 hitting per-centages, respectively. Head coach Kevin Hambly’s team conjured up similar results in College Park, Maryland, on Friday and New Bruns-wick, New Jersey, on Sat-urday. Led by liberos Bran-di Donnelly, Danielle Davis and Julia Conard, the Illini shut down their opponents in six combined sets.
The Illini will look to car-ry their lockdown defense to Madison, Wisconsin, on Wednesday night to face a highly effi cient No. 19 Bad-gers squad. Wisconsin is 8-4 and boasts a talented attack steered by senior setter and Aurora, Illinois, native Lau-ren Carlini, who ranks sixth in the country in assists at 11.58 per set. At Tuesday’s volleyball media availabil-ity, Hambly called Carlini the best setter in the Big Ten.
Donnelly is ready for the challenge Carlini poses.
“Wisconsin is really tal-ented and the next two weeks are really gonna test us, but we’ll have a game plan like we do for any other team,” she said. “This week-end brought us confi dence.”
Junior middle blocker Haleigh Nelson (2.51 kills per set, .386 hitting percent-age) and sophomore outside hitters Kelli Bates (3.28 kills per set) and Lauryn Gillis (3.12 kills per set) round out the Badgers’ offense.
The Badgers coasted through Big Ten play in 2014 — they lost just once, falling to eventual national champion Penn State Nit-tany Lions. This season, Wisconsin lost its fi rst two conference matches — 3-0 and 3-2 losses to No. 1 Penn
State and No. 13 Ohio State, respectively.
“What they did last year was special. I don’t think anyone expected that. I don’t think they expected that,” Hambly said. “With them having two losses right now, I don’t think it’s a big deal to them.”
Freshman setter Jor-dyn Poulter is one of many capable offensive players on Hambly’s roster. She looks to add to her 423 total assists and 11.13 assist per set rate Wednesday night. Look for Poulter to connect with mid-dle blocker Katie Stadick (3.05 kills per set, 4.12 hit-ting percentage) time and again against the Badgers.
“You have a middle that works that hard, you have so many opportunities to feed Stadick the ball, and she’s executing,” Poulter said. “We developed a relation-ship and trust early in the pre-season.”

Illinois football co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach Mike Phair expressed his feel-ings about the defensive line’s performance in the fi rst three games of the season in a unique way.
The coach posted signs all over the defensive line’s meeting room that had the number “one” written on them — the number of sacks the defense had after three games. Phair was not pleased with the group’s performance because he expected the line, fi lled with veteran players, to make a great difference this season.
“One sack, are you kid-ding me?” Phair was quot-ed saying by defensive end Jihad Ward.
Players on the line knew they weren’t performing to the expectations set by the coaching staff and themselves.
“That’s just out of line,” Ward said of the line’s per-formance in the fi rst three games. “We’re supposed to be rush men. It real-ly meant something to us when we saw that. We had to prove the coach wrong.”
Ward and the rest of the players on the line respond-ed to their coach’s disgust against Middle Tennes-see State. Illinois record-ed three sacks against the
Blue Raiders and created consistent pressure on the quarterback for the fi rst time this season. Dawuane Smoot had two individu-al sacks while Ward and Chunky Clements com-bined for the third.
The line looks better than in years past, which the players credited to the team’s summer lifting pro-gram. Smoot, Ward, Cle-ments and Rob Bain are stronger than in seasons past and have already made their presence felt. The line’s biggest play of the season also came against Middle Tennessee State: Smoot forced a fumble that was scooped by Ward who returned it for 17 yards
before fumbling. The play ultimately ended with Cle-ments recovering the ball.
Part of the group’s slow start can be blamed on its lack of depth early in the season. The major injury was a knee injury to Ward. Although he’s yet to miss a game and said the injury hasn’t affected his perfor-mance, he didn’t make any standout plays in the fi rst three games of the season. Ward did, however, miss at least half of training camp.
Other players like Teko Powell, Joe Fotu and Jamal Milan have battled inju-ries this season, forcing Phair and his staff to lim-

Defensive line starts making a difference
BY DANIEL DEXTERSTAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down each week and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.
For Illinois volleyball head coach Kevin Ham-bly, watching setter Jor-dyn Poulter play is like seeing a painting by Mon-et — indescribably better than everyone else.
Her talent caught Ham-bly’s eye at a volleyball camp when the now-fresh-man was just 12 years old. He knew right then that she was destined to play the sport in college.
“When I look at Monet and I look at another paint-ing, I know Monet’s are bet-
ter.” Hambly said. “I don’t know why they are better ... When you look at 12-year-olds out there playing and none of them (are) really good at volleyball, and you watch her and go, ‘that’s a Monet right there.’ There is something different about her that’s different than everybody else.”
Poulter was important in the Illini’s two week-end sweeps of Big Ten rivals. Poulter went off for 34 assists and four digs against Maryland and fol-lowed it up with a 40 assist and seven dig effort in the takedown of Rutgers . For her stellar play, the Auro-ra, Colorado, native was awarded Big Ten Setter and Freshman of the Week honors.
It was Poulter’s second time being named the con-ference’s top freshman of the week — the fi rst came after her very fi rst week-
end of play. But Poulter said there has been a def-inite change in the fi ve weeks since her Illinois volleyball debut.
“I think I’m more relaxed on the court,” Poulter said. “It feels a little bit more natural than it did at fi rst (at Stuff Huff). The team chemistry is building
every game.”The setter position com-
mands respect from team-mates because the setter runs the entire offense. Poulter embraced the pres-sure and expectations that come with being a starting setter and knows she can

As hard as it is to believe, we’re already three
weeks into the NFL sea-son. I guess time goes by pretty fast when you’re having fun, which explains my long, painful weekend during which my fantasy teams went a combined 1-2.
There were plenty of big performances in Week 3, and I was the lucky vic-tim of many of them. A.J. Green, Keenan Allen, Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson combined for eight touchdowns and about a million yards to destroy one of my teams, while I also had the pleasure of match-ing up against Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers in each of my other leagues.
But instead of dwelling in the past, let’s look ahead to Week 4.
Bye weeks are now a fac-tor, which means at least one person in any given
league will start a player who will be rocking paja-mas and slippers instead of a uniform and cleats this Sunday. Let’s try to avoid that.
The Patriots and Titans are the first squads with a week off and each has a plethora of top contribu-tors that will leave holes in a bunch of rosters. Replace-ments are out there, though, so don’t freak out yet.
Quarterback: Tom Brady and Marcus Mariota have both been lights out so far, so finding the right QB on waivers to come close to that usual 20-plus points will be crucial. The top target for Brady-Mariota owners should undoubtedly be Tyrod Taylor. He’s still available in about 60 per-cent of Yahoo! leagues and has a date with the league-worst Giants secondary this Sunday. The Buffalo play-caller is fresh off a 21-for-29, three touchdown massacre of a respectable Miami defense. Even if you don’t have a QB on bye this week you should pick this dude up.
Other options are Derek Carr against the consistent-ly terrible Bears, Joe Flac-co as he tries for his third-straight 350-yard game and Ryan Fitzpatrick match-ing up with the vulnerable Dolphins.
Running back: While Bishop Sankey is off to another ineffective start in Tennessee, Dion Lewis and LeGarrette Blount have been touchdown machines thus far for the high-scor-ing Pats offense. It’s tough to replace backs who are guaranteed a few goal-line carries per game, but let’s try.
Again we go to Buffa-lo for another underrated option in the form of rookie Karlos Williams. He has scored in all three games thus far and will see even more carries with LeSean McCoy limited. He just lit up the Dolphins for 110 yards on 12 carries and is still available in about 70 percent of leagues. For some reason, Atlanta’s workhorse Devonta Free-man is also available in about 40 percent of leagues, so nab him if you can, too.
Wide receiver: Julian Edelman, the NFL leader in targets, will surely leave a huge hole in PPR lineups, and Tennessee’s go-to guy Kendall Wright will also be missed. Rookie standout Rishard Matthews has seen his targets increase each week in Miami and is still widely available. After Mat-thews, the well of wideout streaming options is des-ert dry. Top options for the most desperate owners are Allen Hurns, Michael Crab-tree, Cecil Shorts, more so in PPR, and Doug Baldwin.
Tight End: The 6-foot-6, 265-pound, pigskin-annihi-lating gorilla in the room is obviously Rob Gronkows-ki. Gronk owners will see a huge drop off in TE pro-duction, but minimizing the loss is key. The top alter-natives come in the forms of Eric Ebron and Charles Clay, both of which are widely available. The for-mer has at least four catch-es in each game this season and was held scoreless for the first time on Sunday, while the latter has scored in two consecutive con-tests and will face the weak
Giants defense on Sunday. Hopefully Gronk can make it through his day off with-out spiking something or someone.
Defense of the week: The Colts allowed 33 points to the Titans this past week but came through with
three sacks, two picks and a touchdown in the process. They face a much softer Jacksonville offense this Sunday.

JEFF SINER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady warms up during a warmups prior to preseason action against the Carolina Panthers on Aug. 28.
Ignore any idea that Michigan will simply be a steady work in
progress this season. After a surprising shut-
out of then-No. 22 BYU, Jim Harbaugh’s Wol-verines have announced themselves as perhaps the third-best team in the Big Ten as well as a potential spoiler to Ohio State and Michigan State.
Michigan’s victory over the Cougars on Saturday was the Wolverines’ first win over a ranked oppo-nent in two seasons and clearly shows the posi-tive impact Harbaugh’s philosophy has had upon the team.
In his time at Stan-ford and with the San Francisco 49ers, Har-baugh developed a foot-ball philosophy that stresses a strong ground game, a stout defense and an efficient quarter-back. All three of these aspects were on display for Michigan on Satur-day, as well as during the team’s three-game win-ning streak.
Michigan rushed for 254 yards Saturday, including a 125-yard per-formance by starting run-ning back De’Veon Smith. It was the third-consec-utive game in which the Wolverines ran for over 200 yards.
Quarterback Jake Rudock played his best game so far of the young season throwing for 194 yards and one touchdown. More importantly, it was Rudock’s first game of the season without an inter-ception — a welcome change from a three-interception performance against Utah in the season opener.
Michigan saw key con-tributions in the receiving
game from wide receiv-er Amara Darboh, who finished with 57 yards and a touchdown catch, as well as the top spot in SportsCenter’s Top 10.
Defensively, the Wolver-ines were masterful Sat-urday, limiting the Cou-gars to only 105 yards of total offense. They didn’t force any turnovers, but the defense made BYU quarterback Tanner Mag-num uncomfortable all day.
Michigan is sowing the seeds of a prototypical Harbaugh-coached team; a team with a balanced offensive attack and a defense strong enough to hang around in any game.
A win over a BYU squad, who had recently given playoff contender UCLA all it could handle, as well as a seven-point loss in the opener against Utah, which recently pummeled Oregon on the road by 42 points, means that Michigan could be the spoiler the Big Ten needs.
The Wolverines could make things interesting for the Buckeyes and the Spartans.
With the Big Ten’s two best teams not play-ing their best football, it’s looking more promis-ing that Michigan poses a threat to their prospects for an undefeated season.
The Spartans recently were sluggish offensively against Central Michigan as well as only posting a three-point victory over a now overrated Oregon
team.Michigan State’s big-
gest concern – which makes their in-state rival much more of a threat – is its rash of injuries to three important players: offensive lineman Jack Conklin, tight end Josiah Price and defensive back RJ Williamson.
Ohio State, on the other hand, while its defense looks dominant, has yet to find consistent offensive production. The Buck-eyes have certainly shown flashes in the season’s first four games, though their recent performance against Northern Illinois represents a blueprint on how to best neutralize their scoring ability.
Before the freshly-ranked Wolverines can solidify their “spoil-er” status, the team have a big test coming on Oct. 10 against the other big surprise in the conference: No. 16 Northwestern.
This will be the best way to prove if Michigan can legitimately chal-lenge the Spartans and the Buckeyes in the Big
Ten East.Now with Michigan
surprising many around the country, their trip to East Lansing on Oct. 17 is looming large for playoff implications.
As the first four weeks have proven, Michigan State and Ohio State are not invincible powers in the conference: they won’t inevitably steamroll through the rest of the Big Ten.
Thanks to Harbaugh, attention is finally back on Michigan for on-the-field exploits — and these recent exploits should force those in Columbus and East Lansing to con-sider the Wolverines an actual threat.

Bobart’s running opens new doorsBY MICHAEL GASICKCONTRIBUTING WRITER
Whether it be a new food item, school club or sport, college students have been accustomed to hearing the phrase, “It’s always good to try new things,” from par-ents, teachers and friends.
For Illinois women’s cross-country junior Valer-ie Bobart, running opened up a wealth of opportunities and success well before she made it to college.
Bobart first partici-pated in cross-country in eighth grade. Bobart’s sis-ter Cassie, who’s a year old-er than Valerie, ran cross-country in high school and told her younger sister to give running a try.
Valerie fell in love with the sport and started build-ing up stamina to someday become a successful cross-country runner.
As a freshman at Glen-brook North High School, Valerie joined the cross-country team and racked up plenty of accomplish-ments. It did not take long for Bobart to convince her teammates and coaches that she was serious about the sport; she, along with her best friend, qualified for the State meet her fresh-man year.
“I remember we were both so shocked and excit-ed after Sectionals,” Valer-ie said. “It was an amazing experience that I also got to share with my teammates.”
She was just getting started.
Valerie went on to qualify for State in her sophomore, junior and senior year — the first time in Glenbrook North history that has ever been accomplished. The high school awarded her
“Athlete of the Year” for her consistent, successful career with the Spartans.
“I think it was a combi-nation of two things: hard work and natural talent,” Glenbrook North women’s cross-country head coach Bob LeBlanc said. “She was determined to get bet-ter every year.”
LeBlanc noted that Val-erie was the type of run-ner who was determined to run at least 500 miles in the offseason.
According to Valerie, selecting Illinois to contin-ue her cross-country career was the right choice. She also pointed to how strong of a reputation Illinois has in her current major: chem-ical engineering, which made the decision even eas-ier. Now entering her third year at the school, Valerie has enjoyed the close-knit group of Illini runners.
“I love the girls on the team,” she said. “I enjoy being on a competitive team that has continued to work hard every day.”
Valerie’s best college
races have included run-ning a 22 minutes 28 sec-onds at last year’s Bradley Invite 6K, as well as break-ing 19 minutes for a 5K at last year’s Illini Open — she ran it in 18:48.
“There is a reason why (Valerie) has experienced success in college and that’s because (she) has a strong work ethic.” head coach Scott Jones said.
Having previous tri-umphs with the sport both in high school and in col-lege, Valerie is looking to continue these successes for the Illini in races this season.
“I want to stay with the strong pack of runners we have,” Valerie said. “We would like to stay in the top half of the Big Ten.”
Valerie is used to trying new things, and a team fin-ish in the top half of the Big Ten might be next — the Illini haven’t finished in the top tier of the con-ference since 2009.

always turn to the former two-year starting setter Alexis Viliunas.
Poulter said she looked to Viliunas for advice when practices first started, and Viliunas was more than happy to assist the new-comer learning the drills and Hambly’s expectations for the team.
“She can definitely give her own experience to me and tell me what she went through,” Poulter said. “She is always cheering me on from the sidelines. Every time I do something I can hear her screaming from the sidelines. It’s awesome to know that she has my back, and I have hers.”
It wasn’t an easy deci-sion for Hambly and his
staff to start Poulter over the veteran Viliunas. But as practice started and Poulter’s talents became more apparent, it was clear to him that she was the right choice for the role.
Still, he was unsure how that decision would affect the relationship between the Poulter and Vilinunas. Fortunately for Hambly and the team, any qualms were quickly calmed after seeing the two laughing with each other on the sidelines after the first game against Louisville. He said the pair’s dynamic has made the team better as a result because Poulter never has to worry about what Viliunas is thinking.
Poulter’s support has helped her lead Illinois to a No. 7 ranking, with losses only to No. 8 Stanford and No. 6 Arizona State. She is averaging 11.1 assists per
set this season, the high-est by any freshman in the country.
The Illini are going to need Poulter at her best as they pursue their ulti-mate goal of being the last team standing in Decem-ber. Despite Big Ten play starting, Hambly has no plans of changing up his coaching style. He thinks Poulter still has a long way to go.
“Winning will take care of itself when we are shoot-ing for being a great team,” Hambly said. “We’re hold-ing her to the same expec-tations against Rutgers as we are against Wisconsin and against Minnesota this week. We just want Jor-dyn to be the best she can be, so we’re going to keep pushing for that.”
it switching players out between plays.
Applying pressure to the quarterback is the first step of a successful defense. If the defensive line applies pressure and limits the running game, the linebackers and the secondary can adjust accordingly.
Recent Illinois d-line-men have struggled with that and the domino effect spread to the rest of the
defense.The constant pressure
against Middle Tennessee State was a welcome sight for the entire team, espe-cially the secondary.
“(Constant pressure on the quarterback) is huge,” safety Clayton Fejedelem said. “It gets the quar-terback off his game-plan, it changes the tim-ing. It changes the timing between his receivers. It allows us to execute and make plays on the ball.”
The signs are still up in the defensive line’s meet-ing room as of Monday,
according to Ward. Although the group is
proud of its accomplish-ments against the Blue Raiders, the players know there is still plenty to attain in order to reach the unit’s and the coaches’ lev-el of expectation.
“We still have a lot of work to do,” Ward said. “We got off the ball and we had some good sacks, but we have a lot of work to do.”
