From getting advice, to printing, to just dropping in and saying hello, Bradley Harrison, a recent graduate in Applied Health Sciences, found his “home away from home” at the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center, or BNAACC.

However, his home’s extremely poor and unkept condition led to Harrison’s eagerness to have it relocat-ed to a more modern and up-to-date building.

The Nesbitt center, former-ly situated at 708 S. Mathews St., began moving on Aug. 18 to its new location at 51 E. Gregory Drive. The location previously housed the Cam-pus Outdoor Recreational Center.

The relocation process began after students, such as Harrison, began questioning the conditions of the center.

“It is one of the only plac-es on campus that is titled for (but not just designated for) African-American stu-dents and it was also one of the worst places on cam-pus. The University claims to be diverse and everything looked good on paper, but in practice it was a little lack-luster. I wanted to hold the University accountable for their words.”

There were many structur-al issues with the previous location, which Rory James, Director of the BNAACC,

described as “public knowl-edge.” These included prob-lems with safety railings, asbestos and mold in the basement, along with a lack of accessibility for disabled students.

Gigi Secuban, associ-ate vice chancellor for Stu-dent Affairs and director of the Offi ce for Inclusion and Intercultural Relations, said the BNAACC and La Casa, a Latina cultural center, are the two oldest cultural cen-ters in the country.

The center’s previous loca-tion was formerly a frater-nity house and the faculty’s offi ces were created out of old bedrooms. The new loca-tion will provide James with his fi rst actual offi ce since he joined the University in June 2010.

In a report presented at the 248th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, scientists from the University revealed that venom from bees, scorpions and snakes could act as a cancer-fi ghting drug. The drug, however, has not yet been tested for human use.

According to Pan, the healing potential of venom is well-known and has been explored by ancient civilizations for medical conditions like arthritis and neurological disorders, but there was no known method of delivering the venom safely into the body.

“(The venom’s) potency is remarkable, however,

a controlled and specifi c delivery mechanism is sought to sustain the release of the venomous molecules and evade the systemic toxicity,” Pan said. “Based on this unmet need, we introduced a concept of delivering a nano-recipe of scorpion venom for breast cancer regression.”

BY GLENN GARVINMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

MIAMI — Warning with a brutal arrogance that “our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people,” the Islamic fundamental-ist group holding journal-ist Steve Sotloff murdered him and posted a video of his decapitated body on the Internet yesterday.

U.S. government officials said they could not authen-ticate the video, which was retrieved by the SITE Intel-ligence Group, a Bethesda, Md.-based organization that monitors the online activities of Muslim militants.

But Sotloff’s family had no doubt it was genuine. “The family knows of this horrif-ic tragedy and is grieving privately,” said spokesman Barak Barfi. “There will be no public comment from the family during this difficult time.”

The video was posted by the Islamic State, the homi-cidally violent militia try-ing to carve an independent Muslim state out of a large swath of Syrian and Iraqi ter-ritory. Last month, the group released a video of the decap-itation of another abducted U.S. journalist, James Foley, followed by a threat that Sot-loff was next.

The video posted Tuesday showed the threat was any-thing but idle. Two minutes and 46 seconds long and slick-ly produced — it includes multiple camera angles — the video features a couple of seconds of footage of an Islamic State militant saw-ing on Sotloff’s throat with a knife, followed by a shot of his severed head resting atop his bloody torso.

The video begins with news footage of President Barack Obama pledging that “the United Sates of America will continue to do what we must do to protect our people ... we act against (the Islam-ic State) standing alongside others.”

Then it switches to Sotloff, wearing an orange robelike garment, kneeling in a windy

desert as a black-clad Islamic State militant stands behind him with a knife. Sotloff, his face grim but his voice steady, makes a brief and obviously rehearsed state-ment addressed to Obama: “Your foreign policy of inter-vention in Iraq was supposed to be for the preservation of American lives and interests, so why is it that I am paying the price of your interfer-ence with my life? Am I not an American citizen?”

Then the British-accent-ed Islamic State fighter — perhaps the same one who appeared in the video of Fol-ey’s murder — proclaims: “I’m back, Obama, and I’m back because of you. ... Just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.” He begins sawing on Sotloff’s throat with the knife, shown only for a couple of seconds. The next scene is the one of Sotloff’s body lying in the desert.

The video concludes with the militant threatening to kill yet another hostage, British aid worker David Cawthorne Haines, who was abducted in March 2013 near a refugee camp on the Turk-ish border with Syria.

Sotloff, a former Univer-sity of Central Florida stu-dent who spent years report-ing from Middle Eastern hot spots for Time magazine and other news media, was kid-napped with his driver in Syr-ia near the Turkish border last August.

Except for a single phone call to his parents in Decem-ber, he wasn’t heard from again.

Late last month, after the Islamic State threatened to kill Sotloff, his mother Shir-ley, a Miami school teacher, released her own video, a plea directly to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group’s leader. “My son is in your hands,” she said. “As a moth-er I ask your justice to be merciful and not punish my son for matters he has no control over.”

ISIS posts video online following journalist’s death

Lawyers call them “rock-et dockets” — court sched-ules that speed deportation hearings for Central Ameri-can children who crossed the U.S. border without a parent.

Some question wheth-er the children are getting proper legal representation as immigration judges work their way through the fast-paced dockets. Leaders of the National Association of Immigration Judges said it is a mistake to move up cases of vulnerable children in an already backlogged system.

“We deal with cases that are often, in effect, death penalty cases,” said Dana Leigh Marks, union presi-dent and a San Francisco-based judge. “Immigration law enforcement must stand on its own and not be allowed to overshadow or to control the immigration judicial process.”

The Obama administra-tion issued the fast-track order in July to discourage Honduran, Salvadoran and Guatemalan families from sending children north.

Now, family dramas unreel at a furious pace before Judge Michael Baird, who hears the juvenile cas-es in a starkly lit courtroom in the Earle Cabell Federal Building in downtown Dal-las. Children sit on their guardians’ laps. Attorneys crowd the center aisle. Moth-ers wipe tears as they tell the judge of deportation fears for their sons and daughters.

On a recent day, attorney Bill Holston surveyed the scene and then did quick client-lawyer prep work. He gave a fist bump to 11-year-old Jordan, a skin-ny Honduran boy who wore a gray-and-black shirt with a fierce-looking eagle. Within minutes, the two took their turn before Baird.

The mother, a pregnant housekeeper, came to the ini-tial hearing three days earli-er and was given time to look for an attorney. She found Holston, the executive direc-tor of the Human Rights Ini-tiative of North Texas, a pro bono agency with a track record of victories.

Baird granted Holston

more time to prepare. “You are well aware these cases are moving at a very brisk pace,” the judge told them. Baird said he has orders to follow from the government.

At least Jordan has a law-yer. Many children do not. Some families can’t find a lawyer who can quickly return to court with them. Some can’t afford the thou-sands of dollars in attorney fees. Others turn to agencies that do pro bono work, but those lawyers struggle with the load.

Without an attorney, deportation is a 90 percent certainty, according to a Syr-acuse University research center called the Transac-tional Records Access Clear-inghouse (TRAC).

The Human Rights Initia-tive now passes out guide-lines to immigrants on how to represent themselves. The director of legal and immi-gration services at Catholic Charities of Dallas says it performs legal triage, pick-ing cases most likely to win.

The Dallas chapter of the National Council of Jew-ish Women started a court-watching program. Their concern: “full and fair hear-ings for the kids,” said attor-

ney Cheryl Pollman, the group leader.

The cases speed by through the steamy summer.

More than 63,000 chil-dren have been apprehend-ed this fiscal year crossing the border without parents. Many were sent on the dan-gerous journey by their families, who hope they will find refuge from the pov-erty and gang violence of their home countries. Some come looking for their par-ents or other family already in the U.S.

The number of apprehen-sions this year is already eight times that in 2008. But the flow is slowing: In July, about 5,500 children were picked up, compared with 10,000 in June.

Now the children are going through the nation’s immi-gration courts, where there is a backlog of about 375,000 cases of adults and juveniles from around the world. Juve-nile cases make up about a tenth of that backlog.

In Dallas, the five immi-gration judges, who serve North Texas and the entire state of Oklahoma, have a backlog of about 5,200 adult and juvenile cases, accord-ing to TRAC.

Rocket dockets: No time for due process

BY KATE MATHER AND RICHARD WINTONMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

Los Angeles Police Assis-tant Chief Earl Paysinger sat with increasing unease at a church in South Los Angeles as residents rose one at a time to berate his department.

The meeting had been called to reassure locals about how the LAPD and other agencies were investi-gating the recent fatal shoot-ing of a mentally ill man in the neighborhood. But the event quickly boiled over into a critique of the LAPD, with residents accusing the department of racial pro-filing, excessive force and dishonesty.

Paysinger, the LAPD’s highest-ranking black offi-cer and a 40-year department veteran, was disturbed by the level of anger. So the morning after the community meet-ing, he drove to the LAPD’s Newton Division, where the

fatal shooting occurred, and demanded an action plan.

“Where do we go from here?” Paysinger told the sta-tion captain. “I’m not inter-ested in, ‘I don’t know, we’ve done everything.’”

Whether police officers acted properly when they fatally shot Ezell Ford Jr. in August remains under inves-tigation. But the case has exposed lingering tensions and what some consider an erosion of the credibility and goodwill the LAPD has worked so hard for so long to build in South L.A.

Building trust in the Afri-can-American communi-ty has been a top priority of the LAPD since the L.A. riots 22 years ago, which were sparked in part by the acquittal of four police offi-cers caught on tape beating black motorist Rodney King. Even the LAPD’s harshest critics admit the department has made significant strides.

Those efforts also have been helped in no small part by a significant drop in crime across South L.A.

But John Mack, the former L.A. police commissioner and the retired president of the L.A. Urban League, said he worried that the reaction to Ford’s death showed a back-slide in the relationship.

He cited other recent inci-dents that he called “dis-turbing:” an officer record-ed using a racial slur and yet allowed to remain on the force, and South Bureau officers who disabled in-car voice-recording equipment that was installed to monitor them. The recording issue came up at the Ford meeting.

The LAPD’s relationship with South L.A. is one that requires constant nurtur-ing, Mack said. Chief Charlie Beck “developed street cred” with the community when he ran the South Bureau as deputy chief, Mack said, but

needs to do more as the city’s top cop.

“That is a relationship that requires ongoing attention by the chief himself,” Mack said. “Despite all the goodwill that has been built up, all you need is one incident and things can go south in an instant.”

Beck attended the Aug. 20 community meeting and promised “as transparent and as rapid an investigation as is humanly possible in this circumstance.” But residents frequently interrupted Beck with shouts and jeers. One man called officers “gang bangers.” Others chanted, “Abolish the police, abolish the police.”

Soboroff, who described the meeting as a “Pando-ra’s box”, said that after he left the church that night, he called Beck and other com-missioners to discuss their next steps. He called on the department to redouble com-munity outreach efforts.

LAPD loses face after questionable shooting

James mentioned that some cultural centers are nicer than the others, while the BNAACC previous loca-tion was the “worst-off.”

“We have known that the center needed work and we have been piecing it together and building a little bit here and a little bit there,” Roma-no said. “Over the years, we renovated the kitchen, got new furniture and made repairs.”

However, these fixes didn’t address the structur-al problems of the building and after an overall assess-ment performed by Univer-sity Facilities and Services, enough issues were found that it became necessary to relocate the center entirely.

Finding a new facility for the BNAACC proved chal-lenging due to the fact that there weren’t many vacant structures available.

“We were looking at what-ever locations we could find and we needed a cer-tain amount of space and we were looking for a loca-tion that would be accessible, attractive and useful,” said Romano.

Secuban said ultimately the Campus Outdoor Rec-reational Center was select-ed because it was used very rarely for training purposes and storing equipment.

“It came up as an option and we took a group of stu-dents to the facility and they really liked it,” she said. “I think it’s the accessibility of the place and the fact that it is right by the SDRP and other amenities, like the basketball courts and the ARC.”

However, despite the poor condition of the previous building, the University is going to keep and maintain it.

“I don’t think people real-ize just how much stuff there

is in that house, not years but decades of material is there and we want to preserve it,” James said.

This material includes choir robes and historic doc-uments, which are in the pro-cess of being transferred into the University’s archives.

James described the new-ly renovated Campus Out-door Recreation Center as a “long-term temporary” location with the expecta-tion that they would remain at the location for five to sev-en years.

In the meantime, the goal is to look for a permanent facility to house the center.

James said renovations are continuing to take place to suit the center’s needs, such as creating offices and installing carpet, wireless routers, a lounge area, com-puter work-stations, a kitch-en and a radio station to host “Where Black Music Lives.”

In total, the center will obtain 75 percent of the facility and Campus Parks and Recreation will retain the remaining 25 percent for storage of its machinery and supplies.

The grand opening for the center will take place on the weekend of Oct. 11, which will also celebrate the depart-ment’s 45th anniversary on campus.

“Being in a new space gives a revitalized spirit for the center,” said Harrison. “It’s definitely a step in the right direction.”

Harrison described what made him decide to “take a stand” and push for the relo-cation of the BNAACC.

“Knowing the role that the cultural center played in my personal life, my professional life and my academic life on campus, I know the impor-tance of the cultural center,” he said.

Campus to update sewage systemDAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Planning has begun on a three-year project to update the sewer system on cam-pus to ease the burden of the current system.

The last major sewer work in the Campustown area was completed in 1946, sanitary district Executive Director Rick Manner said.

Manner said since then, the population using the sys-tem has expanded and over-whelms the current system, which can no longer handle the growth of Campustown and Champaign areas.

A pump station will be placed on Second Street, just west of Scott Park in a parking area. This station will resemble a small shed and cover the area of a few parking spaces.

There will also be a force pipe built that will pump sewage from the west to the south. The pipe will go south on Second Street to Chalm-ers Street and continue east on Chalmers.

Once the pipe reaches Washington Park, the sys-tem may cross the park to get to Armory Avenue, Man-ner said. It would then con-tinue on Fourth Street to Windsor. The addition of the force pipe would divert the waste to the west, which will lessen the burden.

Manner said another option they are consider-ing to help control waste is the construction of an addi-tional pipe, although this option is more complex and expensive.

The change will not only account for the growing population, but the future expansion of the Research Park, Manner said.

The project is still in the planning phase, but 1000 feet have been laid under the pavement on Fourth Street.

Manner anticipates the project to be completed in 2017.

The sanitation district will begin offering tours of its facility on Sept. 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The catalog of movies about college is vast, and it plays host to an extensive

array of stock characters that are recognizable across the sub-genre to even the barely acquainted viewer. One has to wonder, though, just how rel-evant and truthful are these characters to real college life?

Although satire is gener-ally characterized by its ten-dency toward exaggeration (as one may observe in films such as “Animal House,” “Legally Blonde,” and an assortment of other gems), over two years of keen and persistent people-watching at our highly popu-lated University has led me to the conclusion that, some-times, cinema is spot on.

The following is a list of cli-ches that the average Univer-sity student will almost defi-nitely observe in their years on campus.

1. The Weekend Updaters

A multiple-bodied entity, rather than an individual. The Weekend Updaters sit toward the very back of sizable lec-ture halls and talk amongst themselves in a “discreet” fashion (note: not discreet at all). It’s the sewing circle of booze and crop tops. Between sips of their salted caramel pretzel mocha-choca-waka-

flaka lattes, they discuss their weekend antics, each WU battling for the coveted “Blacked Out the Hardest and Remembered Like Nothing OMG” title. They’ll probably giggle and use a vernacular made popular in the memora-ble 80s Nic Cage flick, “Val-ley Girl.” This is why, even if you haven’t read for that day’s lecture, the middle rows are always preferable.

2. He Who Unicycles/Plays Ukelele/Tight Rope Walks/Croons Ironic Folk Songs on or around the Quad

Obviously this individual can be gendered female, as well, but in my studies I have found that this species is more frequently male. Exposure to this type of individual might leave the average student feel-ing as if they’ve stumbled into a “Portlandia” sketch. Typi-cally, they may be seen with a guitar or other stringed instrument slung across their back, possibly with a fixed-gear bicycle and possibly lack-ing the appropriate footwear. This student stumbled upon Thoreau’s “Walden” proba-bly toward the end of his high school career, and it just, like, blew his mind, man. He is very eager to spread the liberal, free-spirited worldviews he’s created for himself in the two weeks since he moved out of his parents’ house in Naper-ville. He may be spotted wear-ing a number of “vintage” (i.e. from Urban Outfitters)

T-shirts, advertising for music festivals that took place years before his birth was even anticipated.

3. The Compulsive Question Asker

The voice of this student will possibly haunt you in your sleep, and it might sound similar to that of the snooty and overbearing Paris Geller of “Gilmore Girls.” This stu-dent will ask an abundance of questions in lecture, but not necessarily with the hope of receiving an answer. The CQA seemingly enjoys hearing her own voice and wants others, too, to be aware of the extent of her intelligence. Often CQA’s questions are rhetori-cal, requiring a simple yes or no from the professor and are often presented with the intro, “So, would you say,” or “Am I correct in stating,” followed by a very specific, nearly verba-tim summary of material just discussed in lecture.

4. The Compulsive Question Asker No. 2

Though probably a good portion of students — includ-ing myself — are guilty of subscribing to some of these mannerisms, a full-blown CQA No. 2 is relentless in his aim to know absolutely everything about every course — by the end of syllabus day. Often, one will find that many questions pegged by CQA No. 2 might have been answered by means of a simple skimming of the

class syllabus. Regardless, this particular breed of stu-dent will continue to poke and prod specifics regarding the margin sizes, font preferenc-es, late submission policies, the professor’s actual adher-ence to their stated late sub-mission policies, etcetera.

5. Wizards

This type of student’s focus of study is usually something math, science or engineer-ing related, and he excels with flying colors, grade-wise, with little to no effort. To the casual observer, this measur-able success might seem like some form of magic, as Wiz-ards are hardly ever not play-ing video games. Whether he hits the books when nobody else is watching or actually lacks the gene that the rest of us mortals have that necessi-tates some amount of study-ing, it is all a mystery to me. I do humanities and music-y things; I rarely find it neces-sary to be able to count beyond four.

As for the rest of us, using myself as a case study, I find it difficult to put on pants in the morning, and I usually watch too much Netflix. College is not only for strengthening one’s mental capacity, but for broadening one’s social hori-zons. Interactions with any of the above will certainly do the trick.

I wouldn’t say that I am a real adult. Despite the fact that I am over 18 years old,

I live in my own apartment and I work to make money, I wouldn’t go as far as to say that I am ready to take on the real world alone.

As much as I would like to pride myself on being inde-pendent, there are still things, such as insurance and tax forms, that I rely on my par-ents for help with.

Because of that, I think I am more a pretend adult than a real one, and there are many students on campus who are probably the same. But the fact that we are living away from our parents and are studying to prepare for our careers means we should also be more active in learn-ing the more specific details of being independent.

Merely turning 18 and liv-ing in an apartment on cam-pus does not mean that we are truly independent and, in my

opinion, does not define what being a real adult is.

For example, I, as a pretend adult, have my car on campus this year, but I don’t yet know everything I should about its maintenance. Now I’ll admit that my car may not be the most dependable vehicle, and I’d be lying if I said I would be surprised if it just stopped working tomorrow. But this was never a big concern for me when I was using it to drive around my hometown.

If it were to break down ten minutes away from my house, I could just quickly call my dad, and he would come help me, while also explain-ing car insurance stuff. As a result, everything would be figured out (also, my use of the ambiguous word “stuff” should tell you just how much I know about car insurance).

Coming to campus and liv-ing in an apartment where my parents aren’t a quick drive away to come save me when I am in real trouble means I should take more initiative and responsibility in learn-ing how to become a real-life adult.

This responsibility is more than just cooking my own

meals and keeping up with my studies. To exercise true independence, we, as stu-dents, should start to famil-iarize ourselves with the more complicated issues asso-ciated with being adults — paying taxes, knowing how to handle our cars, the inner workings of health insurance (what in the world is a co-pay anyway?).

It is important to start learning about these intrica-cies now because waiting to familiarize ourselves with them through experience can result in error in real-life sit-uations. If I were to have car troubles, knowing nothing about insurance, I could make a mistake by improvising and learning as I go. That’s why I’m making a conscious effort to educate myself now. Being prepared ensures that the processes to deal with these issues, which almost certain-ly will arise in adulthood, can be dealt with faster with less mistakes and less anxiety.

Even with many students being on their parents’ health insurance until age 25, there’s always the chance of getting sick on campus. Knowing how to deal with hospitals and

insurance is a more respon-sible way to deal with sudden health problems that can be out of our control.

Learning about these responsibilities differs from learning how to deal with an apartment on campus because realty companies in Urbana-Champaign are accustomed to leasing to college students — they already provide us convenient links to make set-ting up water, electricity and internet easier. They also clearly outline who we should call if problems arise.

Most insurance companies are not designed with exclu-sive accessibility for college students. It would be conve-nient if there were a book called “How to be an Adult for Dummies,” but the solution to this problem can be as simple as sitting down with your par-ents and letting them explain some of these issues to you.

That way, when a situation arises, we can be real adults instead of just pretending.

How pretend adults find real independence

Cinema puts college cliches on display

Community members can breathe a sigh of relief this school year as there is

a lower number of cars on campus, causing fewer traffic jams in Champaign-Urbana. However, this trend will only become a constant if we consciously make an effort to keep these numbers low.

Numbers from the parking department indicate that the University has sold 1,000 fewer parking permits to students over the last five years, meaning fewer students on campus are choosing to use cars as a form of transportation. Instead, one can assume students must be using the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District, CUMTD, bikes and other modes of transportation. As of 2011, it was reported that 89 percent of students commute through transportation methods other than a single-occupancy vehicle. While this is a promising statistic, it is also a trend we hope to see continue to improve in the future. Oftentimes the combination of student pedestrians and vehicles on campus can be bothersome. The number of students on campus, whether driving, can create a large amount of traffic, resulting in longer travel times just to move a couple of miles in a car. And coming from a group of students who primarily rely on walking, biking or riding the CUMTD, we think a lower number of cars on campus provides a safer commute as well.

With thousands of students attempting to scurry across campus to get to class on any given weekday, safety and efficiency is important. Less car traffic to weave through while crossing major streets would be beneficial to the safety of students. And the amount of time it takes to walk to class can easily be shorter than driving due to the difficulty of finding parking on campus.

Not only do fewer cars on campus lessen the danger and headache associated with campus travel, but it also makes our campus more environmentally friendly. And because our campus is constantly working toward greener options, which is evident in several of the University’s Green Report Card grades, we think continuing to promote fewer cars on campus would be a step toward improving our ratings. While 1,000 fewer parking permits is great, we hope to see that number rise even higher in the future with a decrease in the number of cars students bring to campus.

Students are bound together by one campus, and we feel that it’s important that we continually work together to make it a safer, more environmentally friendly place, which can be achieved if students continue to embrace alternatives to car travel.

that emphasizes social and economic equality as they share vegetarian food together. Participants sit on the fl oor to share a meal while tearing down racial and sociopolitical barriers .

The Langar on the Hill, which was arranged by 13 interns at the SikhLEAD program in Washington, D.C., was inspired by a 2013 Langar hosted by the University’s Sikh Student Association (SSA). Among the interns who arranged the Langar on the Hill was Amrita Bamrah, a 2014 alumna in LAS. Bamrah was also a part of the SSA while on campus and led the charge in organizing the University’s 2013 Langar.

“You hear about a faith, you hear about a set of values, but we want people to actually experience that and experience sitting next to whoever it is next to them, regardless of their background and sharing a meal,” Bamrah said.

Along with 12 other students, Bamrah interned at the SikhLEAD program, which fosters young Sikh American leaders and promotes intercultural welfare .

Bamrah was a junior at the University when she and the University’s Sikh Student Association hosted the Langar on the Engineering Quad on April 24, 2013, serving more than 1,500 students and raising awareness for a culture that has been confronted with many diffi culties in their history.

Following the success that the Langar had on campus, Bamrah and her fellow SikhLEAD interns hosted their own Langar on the Hill this summer .

The Sikh American Legal Defense & Education Fund (SALDEF) was the main sponsor behind the event.

The organization, which advocates for the very small minority group of 700,000 people in the U.S., seeks “to empower Sikh Americans by building dialogue,

deepening understanding, promoting civic and political participation and upholding social justice and religious freedom for all Americans,” according to its website.

In 2013, SALDEF partnered with Stanford University and created a “Turban Myth Report,” which was the fi rst public perception assessment of Sikh Americans where it was learned that despite being a part of American fabric for over 120 years, the vast majority of people assessed could not associate many facets of Sikh religion

to its people. “Seventy percent of

respondents could not properly connect a Sikh man in a turban to his religious affi liation,” said Jasjit Singh, executive director of SALDEF and a 2004 alumnus. “Even worse, one out of five respondents said that when they see a Sikh man who is a stranger, they experience apprehension or anger. The report revealed that there is an anti-beard and turban bias that influences the lived experiences of Sikh Americans, and as a result, SALDEF is working in a variety of ways to combat that bias.”

The Langar on the Hill provided a platform to alleviate some of these apprehensions and misconceptions that are associated with the Sikh religion.

“Any community is better with more diversity, as that means more ideas and fruitful discussion,” said Harleen Kaur, a senior at the University of Michigan

and one of the SikhLEAD interns that helped promote and run the Langar. “Sikhs, in particular, have faced bias and hate crimes due to negative media perception of a turban and beard, especially post-9/11, so it is important to show people that Sikhs are an important contribution to American society. Unfortunately, we must fi ght for our right to be here but it is an effort that must be made.”

However, the Langar on the Hill event was not a politically charged event, but rather an opportunity for young, devout Sikhs to inform and teach the public a bit about their faith.

“Even if we don’t explicitly educate others, seeing Sikhs acting in a positive and professional manner creates that positive image and furthers the number of people who have a good image of Sikhs, which they will remember the next time they meet one or hear about one or see one,” Kaur said.

E m u l a t i n g t h e Harmandir Sahib, a Sikh

temple in Amritsar, India, where 100,000 people are served free meals each day, hundreds of attendees removed their shoes and filled their plates with common vegetarian Langar foods, including lentil and potato dishes.

For Kaur, working on bringing the Langar to Capitol Hill and teaching others about her faith was worth the effort put in by her and the other 12 SikhLEAD interns.

“It was great to see the fi nished product, as it was a huge feat to carry out on top of our busy internships. We were happy to take advantage of an opportunity that we felt fortunate to have and use it to spread the beliefs of our community and faith,” she said. “Hopefully it will increase positive energy towards Sikhs and minorities in general, which will lead toward better policies for minorities and more inclusion.”

BY MARA SHAPIROSTAFF WRITER

Sexual assault is a recurring topic of discussion on college campuses, and the University is no exception to the ongoing forum. According to McKinley Health Center’s website, one out of every six female students at the University will survive a sexual assault throughout their time on campus. While sexual assault is a traumatic and damaging event in one’s life, there are ways to heal and overcome it.

The Rape, Advocacy, Counseling, and Education Services (R.A.C.E.S) of Urbana will be hosting their annual “Healing Works” art show at the Indi Go Artist Co-Op gallery in downtown Champaign from Wednesday to Sunday. The art collection’s pieces are all submissions from sexual assault survivors.

Erin Sturm, assistant director of R.A.C.E.S, supports the art show’s insight from a unique perspective.

“Anytime that we can have a public place to support survivors is important,” Sturm said.

Kerr i T rue -F unk, executive director of R.A.C.ES, agrees with Sturm that publicly displaying survivors’ art gives a voice to an often silenced group.

“A lot of times there’s not a public forum for the healing process ... it’s beautiful and empowering at the same time,” True-Funk said.

On Wednesday through Friday, the show will go from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday the show will go from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. On Sunday R.A.C.E.S will be celebrating their fi ve-year anniversary as a stand alone organization. R.A.C.E.S not only provides counseling, but legal and medical advocacy as well as educating the community on prevention of sexual assault. According to True-Funk, R.A.C.E.S is the oldest operating hotline in the country.

Rachel Reardon, child and adolescent counselor at R.A.C.E.S, stresses the importance of students and community members attending the event.

“Until survivors become survivors, that’s when they fi nd out about us,” Reardon

said. “We don’t just serve the community, but the campus as well.”

Artwork that has been featured in the past has included paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures and poetry, among others. Reardon also stated that survivors will continue to submit artwork each year.

Even though R.A.C.E.S is off-campus, Reardon, True-Funk and Sturm all agreed that students should attend “Healing Works” and become more aware of sexual assault and how it may affect them or those close to them.

“A lot of students may have been exposed to sex violence. They can fi nd healing for themselves or someone they know,” Reardon said.

Food, beverages and interactive events will be at the show. Anyone can take part in helping to make a monument quilt in honor of sexual assault survivors.

“(The show) is different every year,” Reardon said. “You never know what you’re going to get.”

When walking into the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C., the sight of nearly 145 congressional leaders, staffers and the surrounding community sitting on the fl oor eating a vegetarian meal would seem out of the ordinary.

But for the fi rst time on Capitol Hill, the building played host to the inaugural Langar on the Hill on July 30, where the Sikh-American way of life was introduced to participants.

Project shares stories of local peopleBY CHRISTINE OLIVOSTAFF WRITER

By seeking out the unique voices of Champaign-Urba-na, the Humans of Cham-paign-Urbana project aims to share the stories and thoughts of local individu-als one post at a time.

Stemming from Humans of New York , Humans of Champaign-Urbana uses a Facebook page, current-ly with over 1000 likes, to post the portrait photos and quotes of people from all around Champaign-Urbana.

“The purpose of this proj-ect is really just to connect the campus community to the rest of Champaign-Urbana,” said Jason Yue, creator of Humans of Champaign and junior in Engineering. “Stu-dents don’t know the commu-nity well, and the community wants to understand the Uni-versity better as well. This is not just a town in the middle of Central Illinois. People all over the world come here for the University, and there is a lot of culture and richness here.”

Within the project, Yue and Alex Fung, senior in LAS, head out every day to fi nd the stories and people they need to keep their proj-ect going. They then share the stories they collect on the Humans of Champaign-Urbana Facebook page, along with a photo of the person that told the story.

In order to not make the project solely based around University life, Yue and Fung

make sure to cover all areas of Champaign-Urbana.

“I’m very curious about people,” Yue said. “I went through the lowest points in my life in the past six months, and came out with the conclusion that life is beautiful, and you have a lot of opportunities to do stuff. I’m genuinely curious to see what people do and why they are doing it.”

When looking for people to approach for the project, Yue said there is not just one way to go about doing it.

“ O n e thing I keep in mind is when peo-ple are in larger g r o u p s , p e o p l e are less willing to open up,” Yue said. “Maybe it’s because they are with their friends. But I found the best way to approach people and fi nd the stories I’m looking for is to see if anyone has anything that I’m curious about or is doing something that you don’t see every day. Then I will go up to them and ask what they are doing and what they are all about.”

Yue said he opens up the conversations by asking questions such as, “What are

you doing?” “Who are you?” and “What are you about?” If people are skeptical about the project and what Yue is up to, he said he will talk about himself fi rst to create a positive vibe.

“People have defi nitely rejected us before,” Yue said. “But what sets us apart from Humans of New York is if we aren’t connecting to the peo-ple, we gracefully exit. Peo-ple will say they can’t share their photo on the Internet

for various reasons, but they will offer advice to put on our page. Then we take a picture of something else that represents who they are and what they told us.”

Fung said the stories they collect

are the most important part of the project.

“The photo is not the main focus — it’s the conversa-tions,” Fung said.

So far, the project has shared 40 posts featur-ing people of all ages and backgrounds.

“Being interviewed by Jason was awesome,” said Nick Tarleton, a junior in ACES who was featured on the Humans of Champaign-Urbana page. “I didn’t know

a page fi lled with so much inspiration and positivi-ty existed. With so many UI students stressed, over-whelmed, or even tired from class, I feel that seeing this page and being featured on this page will turn our day around; I know it has for me as I am always eager to read someone’s story.”

Yue began the project mid-August after traveling to Minneapolis, which con-sisted of taking eight-hour bus trips.

“On those trips you can either plug in your head-phones or talk to the per-son next to you,” Yue said. “I enjoyed the conversations I had with the people next to me on the bus, and I found that people are more open than I initially thought.”

Yue said his experience on the bus led to the devel-opment of Humans of Cham-paign after wanting to fi nd those conversations and con-nections with the people of Champaign-Urbana.

“I only have two more years here, and I don’t know the community,” Yue said. “As far as the history of Champaign and Urbana and the people that live there, I have no idea what they are about, and I want to discover it more.”

Within the first three weeks of starting the proj-ect, the Humans of Cham-paign Facebook page was up to 830 likes.

“In those three weeks, I got to meet a lot of unique

people on a personal level,” Yue said. “There have nev-er been three weeks where I met as many people and connected with them as I did then.”

Fung also said the project has led him to people he nev-er would have met if not for the Humans of Champaign-Urbana project.

“This project is all about getting to know more about people than you normally would,” Fung said. “Down-town I was able to meet a con-struction worker, a T-shirt worker, a guy that just got out of jail, and a food truck work-er. I would have never have met these people under any other circumstance.”

Yue said that one of his favorite encounters was in downtown Champaign with a homeless man in a wheel-chair by the name of Rick. The conversation start-ed with just talking about Champaign-Urbana.

“I’ve had people all over the world talk to me, hand me a buck,” the man said. “I’ve lived in 14 States, but I always come back to Cham-paign. The people are so welcoming. It’s a good, qui-et, peaceful place. I have not found a better place.”

Yue said that conversa-tions like this are what he and the Humans of Cham-paign-Urbana project are all about.

Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down Sunday nights 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.

“It’stime to execute,” senior opposite side hitter Liz

McMahon thought to herself as she slid into position and watched North Carolina’s serve soared over the net.

With the score between Illinois and North Carolina tied at 19 in the third set, McMahon knew as she rose in the air that putting away the point for the Illini would be big. As she jumped, her 6-foot-

6 frame rising above the net, McMahon extended her right arm upwards in the air before slam-ming it into the ball, which sailed over the net and bounced off the right arm of a sprawling Tar Heel in the middle of the court before hitting the fl oor.

McMahon turned to her team-mates, an enormous ear-to-ear smile on her face, and with her right arm punched the air in front of her in celebration.

The No. 9 Illinois volleyball team had taken a 20-19 lead, one that it wouldn’t relinquish on the way to a sweep of then No. 20 North Carolina and a 3-0 start to the year.

McMahon put away two more kills in the next three points on the way to 24 kills, 10 blocks and a .426 hitting percentage over the week-

end, a performance worthy of both the Illini Classic MVP and the Big Ten Player of the Week honors.

“It was a good start to the year,” McMahon said. “I thought the whole team played so well, so it was easy for me to play well too because they helped me out a lot.”

Although the awards were nice, the only thing that mattered to McMahon was that the Illini were able to come out of the weekend without having dropped a set.

“I wasn’t expecting it or any-thing,” McMahon said of the rec-ognition. “It was cool. It’s the fi rst week, though. It’s more important that we got three wins.”

For the Illini, those three wins were due in large part to McMa-hon’s play. McMahon was a force on the block all weekend and con-tributed six or more kills in each

of Illinois’ games.Head coach Kevin Hambly

losing a single set

The summer of 2008 was one Chicago hadn’t seen for a century.

Both baseball teams were destined to make the playoffs and excitement was at an all-time high.

The Cubs won their division easily for the second year in a row under manager Lou Piniella. My beloved White Sox had a harder route in, as they had to play in a play-in game, what would forever be known as the “blackout game.”

The city watched every game both teams played. Some dared to dream that the “Red Line series” would turn into the “Red Line world series”.

Then the avalanche occurred.

The Dodgers swept the Cubs while the White Sox managed to win one game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Since then, baseball has not been at the same level in the Windy City. Neither team has reached the playoffs since. The dog days of summer became an understatement for Chicago baseball.

However, the future is bright enough for both teams to contend for a wild card spot next season.

After failed attempts to make the playoffs, both organizations approached rebuilding a different way. Under the leadership of new owner Tom Ricketts, the Cubs cleaned house and stole general manager Theo Epstein from Boston. They traded away every big salary they could, and were one of baseball’s worst teams during the past three seasons. By doing this, they drafted near the top of the draft, creating one of the best farm systems in the majors.

Many fans questioned the “Theo method,” as the Cubs performed poorly and attendance numbers dropped at Wrigley Field, something that many thought would never happen. But fans were shown the light at end of the tunnel this season with the numerous in-season call-ups.

With Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo already up with the club, the Cubs also promoted Arismendy Alcántara in July and Javier Baez and Jorge Soler in August and acquired prospect Addison Russell from the A’s for Jeff Samardzija. Kris Bryant is waiting in the wings to be brought up to the major league club. Ranked No. 3 in the minors by MLB.com, it is believed once he is promoted he will be the team’s best player.

The White Sox never offi cially went through a rebuild. Under the guidance of new manager Robin Ventura, the team led the AL Central for most of the season in 2012, but fell apart in September.

After failing to make it to the playoff, the Sox promoted Kenny Williams to President of Baseball Operations and assistant general manager Rick Hahn took Williams’ spot as the team’s GM. There was a

It was four games into the 2013-2014 season and while the Illini had a record identical to what they have now (3-1), they had already conceded 11 goals, which is almost three times the number they have allowed so far this season: 4.

It was clear from the beginning that this year’s defensive unit was different. This time last year, the team had not held their oppo-nents scoreless. With two shut-outs already, they are only one shutout away from matching last year’s total of three clean sheets.

The defense has accomplished this feat even though head coach Janet Rayfi eld had to piece togeth-er a defense that includes fresh-man Abby Elinsky, who was recruited as an All-American for-ward from Ohio, and sophomore Hope D’Addario, who was out with an injury for most of last year,

“(Right back) is defi nitely grow-ing on me,” Elinsky said prior to Friday’s game against ASU. “I never played it before college so it’s a little different compared to up top, but I like it, and it’s a dif-

ferent role I have to take on, but I enjoy it,”

The defense has been bolstered by the play of sophomore goal-keepers Claire Wheatley and Michelle Denley, who have split time in net.

“The back line continues to step up,” Rayfi eld said after Sun-day’s 1-0 victory against Oakland University. “They stayed focused to make sure they wouldn’t make the mistake that would cost us the game. Michelle’s strengths were a big part of what we were going to see in the second half, so we went with her, and she read the game very well.”

The Illini back four are not only taking care of their defen-sive duties, but they’re also doing their part on the offensive end, scoring three of the team’s sev-en goals. Right back Elinksy has notched two goals so far with junior Amy Feher adding one of her own.

The back line of Feher, junior Aliina Weykamp, D’Addario and Elinsky limited Oakland to four shots and one corner on Sunday although there had been a few hiccups, namely the three goals

that the team conceded to Notre Dame.

“There’s certain things we have to work on,” D’Addario said after the opening day loss to Notre Dame. “But then also as a team, just competing, doing our best, and really working for each other

out there on the fi eld. We know we saw them last year, and it didn’t come with the outcome that we wanted so were ready to take it back this year.”

We knew Illinois’ offense would be reliant on the pass, but Saturday’s game showed us just how reliant.

The Illini threw the ball 38 times and didn’t call consecutive running plays until the fi nal drive of the fi rst half. They ran three times and were quickly forced to punt a minute and a half after getting the ball.

But the passing game wasn’t what offensive coordinator Bill Cubit had hoped for early on. Sophomore quar-terback Wes Lunt found it diffi cult to connect with a new core of receiv-ers in his Illini debut.

Then there was a glimpse of what the offense was expected to do in the fourth quarter. Lunt threw for three touchdowns to three different play-ers (Mike Dudek, Josh Ferguson, Martize Barr) and led Illinois to a come-from-behind 28-17 win over Youngstown State.

“No one wants to start like that,” Lunt said. “I defi nitely have to start faster and just continue to exe-cute. In that last quarter, I think we showed what kind of team we could be.”

Lunt said the slow start was due to having been on the sidelines since 2012 when he was playing at Okla-homa State.

“I was just getting more com-fortable getting hit and that kind of change,” Lunt said. “We got the win, which was the most important thing, but personally I started slow.”

Illinois’ offense was stumped in

the fi rst three quarters, putting up just seven points and trailing the Penguins, an FCS team, 9-7 head-ing into the fourth.

Despite offensive hiccups throughout most of the game, Cubit is looking to take the positives from Illinois’ season opener — especially Lunt’s ability to fi nally gel togeth-er with the team’s young receiv-ing corp when the offense needed it most.

“It’s hard to win with a bunch of young guys out there,” Cubit said. “You worry about (Lunt’s) con-fi dence level in those guys, but it never affected him.”

At Monday’s news conference, head coach Tim Beckman said he’s looking for freshman receivers to work on getting on the “same wave-length” with Lunt in order to perfect the Illini offensive gameplan, which looks to continue focusing on pass plays heading into Saturday’s game against Western Kentucky.

“With what we do offensively, it’s not just in the quarterback,” Beckman said. “Everybody says it’s in the quarterback’s hands, but it’s about running proper depth routes, it’s about making sure that on this step that we’re at this area so we’re going to catch the football and turn properly because we’re reading a lot of what the defenses are doing.”

Illinois has three new receivers who played in Week One — fresh-men Malik Turner and Mike Dudek and junior transfer Geronimo Alli-

son. The three receivers combined for 146 yards and all caught passes over 20 yards (Allison and Dudek both had 40+ yard receptions).

“You have to have all the confi -dence in the world in those guys,” Lunt said. “They’re freshmen. That’s crazy they’re out here play-ing so well. Malik and Mikey are going to be special players here.”

Lunt threw for 285 yards through-out the game and 155 came on nine completions in the fourth quarter.

Despite the shaky start for Illi-nois, Beckman is content with the fi nal numbers and said he’s excited

to see the potential the Illini passing game showed in its fourth quarter performance.

“What I thought Wes did extreme-ly well is he took his game to anoth-er level in that fourth quarter and showed exactly what our capabili-ties are in making big plays with him,” Beckman said. “As a football coach, that’s what I like to see. I like to see competitive guys that are get-ting better during football games, not getting worse.”

DAILYILLINI.COM

You know a situation is spiraling out of control when a team

that should normally throttle a lesser opponent, ends up being throttled by that same team. This precise scenario is what happened to Manchester United last week as the Red Devils lost 4-0 to third division club Milton Keynes Dons in the second round of the League Cup. That’s essentially equivalent to the Cubs losing to Double-A affiliate Tennessee Smokies.

Sure, United’s loss to a club from League One can be written off as an anomaly, but its start to the EPL season counters that notion. Man U is winless in its first three matches with its most recent poor

result a scoreless draw at recently-promoted Burnley. Though it is early, this nightmarish start indicates that the rebuilding project is incomplete, and another long, arduous season seems to be simmering at Old Trafford.

Now, who’s to blame for yet another bad start to United EPL campaign? Its easy to put the blame on new manager (and former Netherlands boss) Louis van Gaal, and, to a degree, he’s been unable to motivate his squad’s fractured confidence and put together a stable lineup amid uncertainty near the transfer deadline. If one looks past the relative ease of blaming the new manager, he will see that this United roster has some serious gaps within it.

For the Red Devils, the most obvious areas that have contributed to their winless start are the shaky defense

and ineffective midfield. Defensively, the trio of Phil Jones, Johnny Evans and Tyler Blackett has been poor in creating attacking opportunities that are designed to originate in the back in van Gaal’s offensive system. Against Burley, for example, the United defense was unable to effectively transition possession of the ball to the midfield, and to make matters worse, often gave up possession of the ball in their own defense third.

Some of the effectiveness is certainly a result of the current absences of new signings Luke Shaw and Marcos Rojo. Their returns will be a welcome sight, but given their youth and inexperience in the Premier League, it will take some time to adjust back into the defense. Still, these defensive issues will not be kind to United when it matches up against the likes

of Liverpool (with the striker trio of Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling and Mario Balotelli), the attacking depth of Manchester City and the high-scoring capability of Chelsea, led by Diego Costa. Even Arsenal and Tottenham pose major threats.

Now, the midfield. The success of any team in the Premier League, and especially United, is predicated on possessing the ball and scoring in bunches to match up with the clubs mentioned above. That ability comes from the midfield. In scoring only two goals in three games, United’s attack has been lethargic and lacking in creativity. Against Burnley, United only put two shots on target and only completed 13 percent of its crosses — two alarming statistics.

Midfield players such as Darren Fletcher, Tom Cleverly, Ashley Young and Juan Mata simply do not seem like the type of

pieces to enable United to have the success many anticipated just a few weeks ago. Not to mention, the midfield is even thinner due to the departure of Shinji Kagawa and an injury to Ander Herrera.

Even the recent signing of Real Madrid’s Angel di Maria, brought into patch up a weak midfield, may not be enough to fix the very obvious holes in their midfield. As talented and creative a player the Argentine is, he is only one player and a solid midfield is more a product of group cohesion than individual skill. Given the current composition of the midfield, it will be difficult for United to make use of skilled forwards in Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and new transfer Radamel Falcao (likely brought in as a replacement for Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck).

With everything above

said, winning the league, and for that matter, finishing in the top four to qualify for Champions League play, is looking more and more like a pipe dream for Manchester United. Even with a tactical genius like van Gaal in charge, United is still bogged down in the early stages of the rebuilding process.

As supporters of the Cubs know full well, rebuilding is a long process and with that comes a period of frustration. Though much to the chagrin of United fans, a top-flight club inhabiting the grounds of Old Trafford is still a ways away. Instead, you may be seeing a squad struggle to finish in the top five once again at one of soccer’s most hollowed grounds.

Manchester United’s loss reveals deeper issuesDAN ESCALONA

Sports columnist

praised McMahon’s deci-sion-making which he said helped her succeed on the weekend.

“I thought that she played really well, honestly,” Ham-bly said. “I thought that she was a very efficient attacker and she eliminated errors that she was making in the past.

“She’s making better decisions on balls that aren’t there and I also think Lex did a better job of set-ting her so she could get in rhythm a little more and take some big cuts.”

Although Hambly praised junior setter Alexis Vili-unas’ setting to McMahon on the weekend, Viliunas praised McMahon’s ability to adjust.

“I’ve set her better before, but she was just able to adjust to what I was giving her,” Viliunas said. “She’s one of our hot hitters, obviously. She just knows how to put the ball down.”

McMahon got going ear-ly on in the weekend. She excelled against Long Beach State on Friday night.

Against the 49ers, McMa-hon was efficient, finish-ing the night with 10 kills on 17 attempts. McMahon also added five blocks in the match. McMahon’s kills seemed to come at oppor-tune moments as she helped give the Illini a 17-16 lead in the first set with a block, brought the Illini to within one at 20-19 with a kill and had back-to-back kills to open the third set and help to put away the match for the Illini.

As the weekend pro-

gressed McMahon continued to excel. In Saturday morn-ing’s matchup against South-ern Illinois, she contributed eight kills and a block.

McMahon attributed some of her success to the speed of the new 6-2 system the Illini are running this year.

“We just got in a rhythm,” McMahon said. “The faster tempo really helped open things up for me. It was the first time we got to use that against another team.

In the final match of the weekend against North Carolina, McMahon came through in the clutch.

Although she only finished with six kills and four blocks McMahon left her impact on the game by putting away three kills in four points to give the Illini their third three-set victory.

With this being her senior year, McMahon has been

thinking about what she wants to do post-graduation. She said she hopes to play professional volleyball, but for now she’s happy playing for the Illini and “making sure the whole team is mov-ing in the right direction.”

Moving forward this sea-son the Illini will look to McMahon more in big game situations as she showed time and again over the weekend that she’s able to execute in them.

“In bigger games and closer games Liz will be getting the ball a lot more because she can put the ball down when we need her to,” Viliunas said. “And in those tough situations she likes to be able to put the ball down.”

For the second time in less than five months, Wisconsin quarterback Joel Stave has been sidelined because of shoulder problems related to the injury he suffered on Jan. 1 in the Capital One Bowl.

“Joel has been dealing with some issues with his throw-ing shoulder for the last cou-ple of weeks,” head coach Gary Andersen said Tues-day in a UW release. “And we have come to a decision, after talking with Joel, that the best thing for him right now is to shut it down and give him some rest.

Andersen said Tuesday on the Big Ten teleconfer-ence redshirt sophomore Bart Houston will be the No. 2 quarterback behind Tan-ner McEvoy when UW hosts Western Illinois on Saturday.

Freshman D.J. Gillins will be No. 3 on the depth chart.

Houston, from Dublin, Calif., played in two games last season. Gillins, from Jacksonville, Fla., enrolled at UW in January and par-ticipated in spring ball.

Stave suffered an inju-ry to his AC joint, which is where the collarbone meets the shoulder, scrambling late in the third quarter of UW’s 34-24 loss to South Carolina in the Capital One Bowl.

The UW staff decided sur-gery was not needed at the time. Instead, Stave’s work-load was limited through the first six sessions of spring practice, which opened on

March 5. He was unrestricted after spring break, beginning with the March 25 practice.

However, lingering shoul-der pain forced the staff to hold Stave out of the final three practices of the spring. It was determined again he did not require surgery and was cleared for summer workouts.

Although Andersen said Tuesday he is hopeful Stave might be able to return soon, that scenario appears unlike-ly considering the persis-tent shoulder problems. It is unknown when or if Stave will play this season.

Stave had been practicing with the No. 2 offense but Andersen said Tuesday the redshirt junior began expe-riencing issues with his right shoulder late in the second week of camp.

“It just has kind of dete-riorated to the point where, again, it’s just important that we put Joel first in the situa-tion and not put the Universi-ty of Wisconsin first,” Ander-sen said.

McEvoy completed only 8 of 24 passes for 50 yards, with two interceptions, in his first start at quarterback at UW in the 28-24 loss to LSU.

Andersen was asked after the loss to LSU if he consid-ered using Stave in relief of McEvoy.

He said the staff did not, in part because the more mobile McEvoy was under duress from LSU’s pass rush.

On Tuesday, Andersen explained he didn’t want to

divulge Stave’s injury status before the LSU game.

“That was scary walking into LSU,” Andersen said. “We had to be in a position to not have Joel but I did not think it was the right thing to tell everybody that he couldn’t play in a game a couple days before the game.”

The news of Stave’s con-tinuing shoulder problems came less than 24 hours after Andersen was asked Monday during his weekly news con-ference about Stave’s status.

“Joel’s going to be involved,” Andersen said

then. “It’s just the right time, the right situation, of making sure everything is where it needs to be, for him to be able to be part of the offense and be involved in the offense.

“And we need two quarter-backs. Sooner or later you’ll have to have them both. Tan-ner is the starter today, but Joel’s going to fight like crazy to get some reps.”

Why didn’t Andersen dis-cuss Stave’s shoulder issues on Monday?

“As of yesterday,” he said, “It was still completely unclear.”

high demand for Hahn, who is considered one of the best young executives in baseball.

The team had an awful season in 2013 — one of the worst in franchise history — winning only 63 games. After the season, Hahn traded away most of William’s failured ventures, including Jake Peavy and Alex Rios. He traded away closer Addison Reed to the Diamondbacks for third base prospect Matt Davidson.

After the disappointment of 2013, the White Sox drafted third in the MLB entry draft and took Carlos Rodon, a pitcher who is expected to be called up to the big leagues sooner rather than later. The team also traded away Gordon Beckham, who never reached his potential, Adam Dunn and Alejandro De Aza. These trades cleared space for prospects like Rodon, Davidson and Jared Mitchell. They will play with ace pitcher Chris Sale and phenom Jose Abreu, while both Jose Quintana and Avisail Garcia both

show potential.This upcoming

offseason, both teams will have money to spend on signing free agent pitchers, such as Max Sherzer, Jon Lester, James Shields and Justin Masterson. The Cubs are more focused on pitching, while the Sox might look at both pitching at position players.

Now I’m not saying both teams will win their respective division next year and be World Series contenders. If each team makes a key free agent acquisition during the offseason, both could be competing for the No. 2 wild card spot in their respective league.

It’s important for Chicagoans to know, however, that brighter days are ahead. No longer will we be forced to hope the Blackhawks make a deep playoff push so that the days to Bears training camp are few. Both baseball teams will be contenders in the future, maybe as soon as next year.

Kenny Hill is already starting to experience all that comes with be-ing Texas A&M’s No. 1 quarterback, particular-ly one who threw for a school-record 511 yards in his first start.

“It’s been crazy, it’s kinda fun,” Hill said of the reaction since lead-ing A&M to a 52-28 win Thursday at South Caro-lina. “I’m just trying to live like I always have.”

The sophomore has had to learn how to politely decline requests from fans to pose for pictures.

“I was walking around with Johnny [Manziel] and he got that and I thought that won’t hap-

pen to me,” Hill said. “And now it’s here.”

“Coach [Kevin] Sum-lin won’t let me take pic-tures. It’s one of those things Johnny got into so much trouble with pic-tures and he doesn’t want me to get in trouble with pictures.”

S u m -lin said he didn’t issue that edict but that he did tell Hill that if there’s something he didn’t want to do to blame it on the coach.

Hill said it took him a day for his performance to sink in. He enjoyed get-ting a tweet from ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit. But Hill said he maybe doesn’t understand the full effect of Thursday’s win. He just moved so he doesn’t have Wi-Fi or cable yet and his phone is broken.

Hill has already expe-

rienced the upside and downside of fame. He was suspended this spring after a citation for pub-lic intoxication made headlines.

“It hurt a little bit but I deserved it; it was an embarrassing time,”

Hill said. “It’s some-

thing I had to work t h r o u g h and I did and I’m still w o r k i n g through it.”

S u m -lin praised Hill, of c o u r s e , but noted the help

Hill had all around him on offense and said Hill is still improving. Sum-lin said Hill’s eyes were “too much all over the place,” and Sumlin noted a couple of bad decisions, including an ill-advised shovel pass and danger-ous shot to the end zone that could’ve turned into turnovers.

Offensive coordinator

Jake Spavital said it was “creepy” how calm Hill was on Thursday. Spav-ital said he’s anxious to see how Hill responds

when things don’t go as well as they did last week.

Meanwhile, Hill con-tinues to be asked about possible nicknames. He

said he’s heard every-thing from Kenny Trill, King of the Hill, Ken-ny Touchdown to Kenny Chill. No consensus yet.

Texas A&M hosts Lamar at 6:30 p.m. Sat-urday. It will be the first game in the half-renovat-ed Kyle Field.

Coach Jim Harbaugh spoke out Tuesday morning against domestic violence while also cautioning any rush to judgment on 49ers defensive tackle Ray McDonald, who was arrested early Sunday for felony domestic violence.

“There’s going to be two principles at play here,” Harbaugh said on his KNBR 680-AM segment. “One is, I’ll speak for myself and I’ll speak for the 49ers: We’ll not tolerate domestic violence.

“The second principle is going to be: We’re firm believers in due process, and I ask for your understanding in those two principles.”

Harbaugh said he would not want any person guilty of such deeds to play on his team.

He did not rule out McDonald

from practicing Tuesday with the 49ers in advance of Sunday’s season opener against the host Dallas Cowboys.

Harbaugh is the first member of the 49ers organization to field questions publicly after McDonald’s arrest.

Harbaugh made clear his stance on domestic violence: “If someone physically abuses a woman and or physically or mentally abuses or hurts a child, there’s no understanding, there’s no tolerance for that.”

McDonald, who turned 30 on Tuesday, was hosting a party at his home in San Jose’s Si lver Creek n e i g h b o r h o o d when San Jose police arrived at 2:48 a.m. Sunday.

According to police-dispatch audio, McDonald’s fiancee claimed he was “hitting her” and “was trying to pull her out of the house. She’s 10 weeks pregnant and refusing medical.”

McDonald was booked into the Santa Clara County jail at 5:30 a.m. and he was released

six hours later after posting $25,000 bail.

His first court date is Sept. 15.

“This is a legal matter. I’m not here to tell you what happened because I don’t know,” Harbaugh said. “We all owe, to everyone involved, the ability for due process to take place. This is a process that has to be conducted, has to be concluded, and then we’ll be in a better place to have this discussion and/or make judgments.”

McDonald is entering his eighth season with the 49ers, who selected him in the third round of the 2007 draft out of Florida.

He’s started all but three games since breaking into the lineup in 2011.

He has never made the Pro Bowl.

The 49ers have had players arrested an NFL-high 10 times since 2012.

“We’re going to do everything in our power to make sure there isn’t a pattern forming,” Harbaugh said.
