Students who are tempt-ed to reach for their cell phones during class may have a new reason to focus after downloading Pocket Points.
Pocket Points is a new app, available for iPhone and Android users, that recently made its way to the University. The app is designed to discourage students from using their cell phones in class.
During lectures, stu-dents can open the app, which locks them out from using their phones.
The more often a student uses the app, the faster the points accumulate, accord-ing to the Pocket Points’ website. For every 20 min-utes a student uses the app, one point is earned.
The app operates on a point system that eventual-ly translates to coupons or deals from local business-es. For example, a user can redeem five points for 60 percent off a large pizza from Papa John’s Pizza or 50 percent off a side at Fat Sandwich Company.
“The app gets you to take your school work more seriously,” said Jack Hol-
linger, freshman in LAS. “You get better grades and coupons. Double win.”
Founders of the app, Mitch Gardner and Rob-ert Richardson, came up with the idea as an incen-
tive for students to stay off their phones during class, Gardner said.

Kathleen Harleman, act-ing dean of FAA, said if she did not decline within the two minutes of Interim Provost Edward Feser asking her to serve as dean, she knew she’d have to say yes.
“I have too much respect for Ed to say no,” Harleman said. “But it was never some-thing I intended.”
Harleman, who is the full-time director of the Krannert Art Museum, has worked at the University for ten years, serving two five-year terms as the museum’s director. She will continue to spend about 25 percent of her time at the museum while she serves as the dean of FAA, and her business manager, Claudia Corlett-Stahl, will take on an increased role at the museum in her absence.
“She’s the best boss I’ve ever had,” said Anne Saut-man, the director of edu-cation at the Krannert Art Museum. “She’s built a staff she trusts, and she believes in us and lets us do our work, but she’s always there to give direction when needed.”
Sautman said it was unusu-al for Harleman to step in as the dean of FAA because she’s never worked as a pro-fessor; Harleman’s back-ground is in art history, and she has worked at seven art and architecture museums in her career.
“I know she’s very uncer-tain about maybe not fully understanding all the profes-sorial things,” Sautman said. “But I know she has people to go to. It may be a challenge for her, but I think she also gets it.”
Harleman said her biggest goal for FAA as acting dean is to increase the college’s visibility — both on campus and across the nation.
“We have a lot of really tal-ented people doing extreme-ly creative work here,” she said. “I think there needs to be a greater awareness on how FAA connects with the campus and the world. There are students here working on solutions to real world problems.”
Harleman said she believes increasing visibility will help increase enrollment in FAA, which has declined in recent years. Additionally, she said FAA increased its focus on undergraduate academic affairs, recently employing professors to spend 50 per-cent of their time in the office of undergraduate academic affairs.
“Kathleen has an excellent vision for the arts on a pub-lic research university cam-pus,” Feser said. “She has a great sense of how the arts can have an impact on the campus; she’s a wonderful blend of collaborative and decisive, and you really need that in a dean.”
Harleman said it will be hard for the college to func-tion without Feser’s strategic leadership but she believes he will serve the provost’s office well.
“I think the impact on peo-ple in our college is we’re happy our areas of concern are being represented,” she said.
Feser said while people may see a lot of symbolism around moving from two sci-ence-based academics serv-ing as the provost and chan-cellor to arts and humanities based leadership, he doesn’t believe there will be a change in governing the University on a day-to-day basis.
“I think it’s more the qual-ity of the individuals serving in the roles,” Harleman said. “They are people of incredi-ble integrity, they have a life-time of accomplishments and they’re committed to mak-ing the best decisions for the campus.”
Feser said he looks for-ward to Harleman’s leader-ship of FAA in his absence.
“It’s probably an unex-pected role for her since she doesn’t have career experi-ence as a faculty member, but because FAA is a blend of traditional scholarship and engagement presenta-tion, the fit is working well,” he said. “I have every confi-dence in her ability to lead the college.”

Students often only real-ize their professors’ role in the classroom, but anoth-er major part of a job in academia entails attend-ing conferences to pres-ent the research professors conduct.
Rachel S. Harris, profes-sor in comparative litera-ture, recently contested the child-care challenges many scholars face in the realm of academic conferences.
“There’s only a few con-ferences which are will-ing to provide child-care services to academics who have babies, and those who
provided the services such as (the American Political Science Association) are sometimes too expensive for academics to afford, which particularly affects gradu-ate students,” she said.
And if academics can afford the child-care servic-es offered by conferences, information about whether child-care service will be provided can be unclear.
Academics need to apply for child-care services before they attend the con-ferences; however, the con-ferences will decide wheth-er to provide child-care

DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORTStudents participating
in i-Unite this year will be encouraged to “create the world that we imagine.”
i-Unite is an annual week-long affair organized by the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Rela-tions that aims to educate and to embrace differenc-es within the campus com-munity. A variety of events are scheduled throughout the week; i-Unite events kicked off Saturday and will continue through Fri-day. Events range from
films to guest speakers and take place all over campus.
“We’re trying to give people an opportunity to think and talk about ways to make the world a place that’s better for all of us,” said January Boten, an area coordinator for stu-dent affairs. “We’re work-ing to bring people that are going to spark in people’s minds ways in which they can be inclusive toward each other.”
The film series being shown this week, which begins Wednesday in the
Illini Union Courtyard Cafe, was a new addition to i-Unite in 2014. Boten said the films were successful in drawing interest from a wider range of students who normally wouldn’t go out of their way to par-ticipate in the weeklong events.
Another change to this year’s itinerary is the addition of a second guest speaker. Dr. Bernard LaFayette, a civil rights activist who was a leader of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, will be speak-
ing on Tuesday at noon at the University YMCA and at 7 p.m. in the SDRP mul-tipurpose room of the Iken-berry Commons.
The second speaker is Dr. Milo Dodson, a post-doctoral fellow at the Uni-versity of California Irvine Counseling Center and an advocate for service-based leadership.
Dodson is scheduled to speak on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the SDRP multipur-pose room.

BEIJING — To prepare their son for college in Seat-tle, Mo Fan’s parents sent him to the United States for a year to learn English. What the 20-year-old Beijing native learned the hard way while in the U.S. was that he also needed to attend a cram school back in China. The subject? Chinese cooking.
“I knew nothing about cooking before going abroad last year,” said Mo, now a freshman at Seattle Central College. “I would simply scramble whatever I wanted to eat and cook it all together. The taste was no good.”
More than 270,000 Chi-nese young adults studied in the U.S. during the 2013-14 academic year — 1 in 3 international students on American soil, according to a report by the Institute of International Education. Many of these students, typi-cally the only child in their family, never learned their way around a stove growing up — and have found them-selves ill-suited for Ameri-can cuisine.
Wang Jingyuan, a gradu-ate student studying public affairs at Cornell Universi-ty, said she had dodged the “freshman 15” weight gain when she attended Peking University.
“But nothing I eat here now is healthy or delicious except for the food I prepare
myself,” said Wang, who’s now 15 pounds heavier.
Hospitality professionals say that preparing authen-tic Chinese cuisine is time-consuming and that there’s a trade-off between taste and convenience.
“Chinese cooking values craftsmanship and the mas-tering of uncertain factors like knife skills and heat con-trol, while the Western relies more on the kitchenware,” said Michael Wang, gener-al director of the American branch of Meizhou Dongpo Group, whose restaurants, including one at Westfield Century City mall, serve Sichuan cuisine.
Mo is among about 40 culi-narily challenged Chinese students headed abroad who paid $300 for a 10-day cook-ing course in August, accord-ing to Chen Li, director of admissions at Jude Huatian Cooking School.
Each afternoon, they observed an instructor pre-pare three home-style Chi-nese dishes. Among the items to be mastered were sauteed shredded pork with sweet fermented flour paste, stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, and dumplings. Morning class-es were dubbed “showtime” — where Mo and the oth-ers would attempt the dish-es they had seen cooked the previous day.
The school, affiliated with a well-known Peking duck restaurant chain, has
long prepped Chinese stu-dents for two to six months to earn state-issued certifi-cates for cooking and pastry-making skills. But in recent years, it has also opened its door to homemakers, own-ers of start-up eateries and students heading overseas.
For a kitchen newbie such as Mo, the array of utensils and condiments can seem overwhelming. The instruc-tor, in an all-white chef’s uni-form, peppered Mo with tips on techniques.
Once in the U.S., many Chinese students who squeeze kitchen time into their schedule believe they eat more healthfully thanks to ingredients whose qual-ity, in their opinion, is better
than that in China.“I trust the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture more than the authorities in charge of food safety in China,” said Zhao Yu, a visiting scholar in electronic engineering at UCLA. “The beef approved by the USDA, the seafood and the organic eggs are all good. And the vegetables are inexpensive.”
Some, too, adjust their pal-ate to their new home.
“I started to eat avoca-do and more salad when I came to California last fall because that’s what every-one around me eats and it’s new to me,” said Liu Yimin, a graduate student studying energy resources engineer-ing at Stanford University.

Chinese students adapt to cooking alone

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Michael Williams wants his young college students to feel they can come to him for help.
He’s eager to guide them while working on an assign-ment or offer a sympathetic ear when things go sour in their personal lives.
But if they confi de some-thing to the University of Kansas journalism profes-sor about sexual harassment or worse? “I have said to the student, ‘I’m really sorry this happened, but if you tell me more details, I have to report this’” to others on campus, said Williams, president of KU’s University Senate.
“But I’ve had students say, ‘I don’t want anyone else to know.’ They don’t tell you anything more. That’s when the situation gets a little gray.”
And, say faculty at a num-ber of colleges, a student who can’t tell a professor some-thing in confi dence might not tell anybody.
Those same professors embrace the need to track sexual harassment and assaults, to better root out campus rapists and to get a student help in a time of crisis.
Yet some say a student looking for a familiar person to confi de in might clam up if that means hearing from some other college offi cial — no matter how kind that third party might be.
“I want to help that stu-dent,” Williams said. “But if the fi rst thing out of their mouth is ‘I don’t really want to report this,’ what do you do?”
The federal government continues to pressure college campuses to make sure that women, in particular, can pursue their studies safe from sexual harassment and assault.
That’s long been enshrined in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 pro-hibiting sex discrimination on campus. Title IX may be
best known for how it remade college sports by demanding that women get the same chance at athletic scholar-ships as men.
But increasingly it’s also grown as a tool to fi ght cam-pus rape. Washington puts ever more exacting demands on schools to better docu-ment all manner of assault and harassment.
New federal requirements kicked in over the summer that demand schools beef up both training for students and efforts to report poten-tial Title IX violations.
That followed a stern reminder issued by the U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights offi ce in 2011 widely interpreted on cam-puses to mean that — with a few deliberate exceptions — virtually anyone working for a university must alert administrators about sus-pected cases.
That’s why Williams feels obligated to warn students that telling him about a date that turned violent or
a relationship that’s become abusive means he must tell others.
Angela Speck, who teaches astrophysics at the Univer-sity of Missouri, is an out-spoken advocate for logging assault cases. Such report-ing, after all, can reveal where and how problems happen. And she speaks enthusiastically about var-ious caring and competent professionals on campus ready to help someone who’s been attacked.
Still, she said, few stu-dents already know those professionals.
“That’s great if you know about it, if you feel comfort-able dealing with absolute strangers,” Speck said.
Maybe, she said, at least one professor in a depart-ment should be left off the hook on reporting so stu-dents can confi de in a famil-iar face.
“Otherwise,” she said, “how can you have a conver-sation in confi dence if you know that you’re talking to
a mandatory reporter?”Research shows that col-
lege students might actual-ly come under sexual attack slightly less than their peers who aren’t in school, but their age group stands par-ticularly vulnerable to such assaults.
The University of Mis-souri came under fi re in the wake of Sasha Menu Courey’s suicide in 2011. She wrote in a journal, found after her death, that she was raped. When the uni-versity found her rape alle-gations in emails after her death, an independent law fi rm concluded last year, MU should have launched an investigation.
Meantime, U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill has been pursuing legislation to toughen cam-pus standards for assault prevention training, counsel-ing efforts and clearer adju-dication measures. Last year, her offi ce released a survey that concluded many schools fall short in how they investi-gate and resolve such claims.
said Neha Akella, fresh-man in LAS.
Gardner said they devel-oped the premise after witnessing abundant cell phone use at California State University, Chico.
“I was sitting in class in the spring of 2014, and everyone was sitting with
their heads down, not pay-ing attention,” he said. “The problem was obvi-ous. People are addicted to their cell phones.”
Gardner said the app benefi ts both businesses and students, as business-es can increase their foot traffi c as well as actively reach the college demo-graphic, and students have an incentive to pay attention.
However, some profes-sors aren’t necessarily opposed to the use of cell phones during class time
“I haven’t had any prob-lems with phones,” said Shachar Meron, advertis-ing lecturer. “I think as long as there’s respect and discipline, cell phones can be fantastic.”
Meron said he often has students in class use their cell phones as a tool
to look up words and take pictures.
Gardner said nearly 200,000 college students actively use Pocket Points in the United States.
“We worked really hard this summer to make sure 100 schools can use Pocket Points,” he said. “We want to be at every school in the country.”
services based on how many academics apply for it, Harris said. Consequen-tially, academics may show up to a conference only to fi nd out that child-care ser-vices will not be provided.
There is also the chance conference organizers will decide the risk of provid-ing child care outweighs the benefit it provides academics.
As with any child-care program, the conferences must assume liability for any children in their care; conferences must then con-sider purchasing liability insurance for their pro-grams, Harris said.
“The organizers of those conferences don’t know how important this problem is,” Harris said. “The issues need to lead the conferenc-es organizations, not (be) an afterthought.”
For academics, she said, conferences also give pro-fessors a chance to fi nd job opportunities and announce research and ideas. Howev-er a lack of child care may deter academic parents, especial-ly single-p a r e n t academ-ics, from attending c o n f e r -ences.
“ T h e situation is getting w o r s e over these y e a r s : n o t h -ing has become organized, and you still need to fi nd your own baby sitter, while fi nding baby sitters in a different city is much harder than fi nding in your living city,” Harris said.
The University itself offers several resources
for parents and academics searching for child-care services.
The Child Service Cen-ter and the Child Develop-ment Lab, offers child-care services and information to
students, faculty and the Cham-p a i g n -U r b a n a communi-ty.
“Though the center itself does not provide child-care s er v ic e s to parents like what Child Ser-
vice Lab does, they do pro-vide information not only about child-care, but also about licenses, child-care programs in surrounding areas,” said Dolores R. Squire, Child Care Service Center team manager .
The center also recruits
college students to be avail-able as baby sitters when parents cannot send their child to the lab.
“Parents can hire these students to provide tempo-rary child-care services when they cannot fi nd the child-care service provider immediately,” Squire said.
She said the center’s goal is to help the fami-lies acquire the values of child care programs and acknowledge the impor-tance of early child-care education.
“Because of the costs, it is hard for the University to provide child-care services directly, instead, it is better for the University to offer options and choices for par-ents,” Squire said.
While the availability of services at conferences may pose an issue, Squire said the child-care services provided on campus fulfi ll professors needs.

Clinton calls out CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals to lower drug
WASHINGTON — Hill-ary Rodham Clinton used a Facebook chat Monday to challenge a pharmaceutical executive to lower the cost of a key drug.
Answering a question about the cost of pre-scription drugs during her online Q&A, Clinton called out the CEO of Tur-ing Pharmaceuticals by name, a week after he was at the center of an uproar over increasing the cost of a drug for AIDS patients by
5,000 percent.Under pressure, the CEO,
Martin Shkreli, announced later that the company would lower the price “to a point that is more afford-able” and that would still allow Turing to make “a very small profit.” He stopped short of restoring the drug to its original cost.
“So Mr. Shkreli, what’s it going to be? Do the right thing. Lower the cost today to its original price,” Clin-ton demanded.

The Environmental Pro-tection Agency on Monday established the fi rst mini-mum-age requirement — 18 — for farmworkers apply-ing pesticides to fi elds.
The change is part of a revision of pesticide rules by the agency, which acknowledged that pre-vious regulation was not enough to prevent an esti-mated $10 million to $15 million in annual health costs due to chemical expo-sure among the nation’s
2 million agricultural workers.
“The existing rule was not working the way it should,” EPA Administra-tor Gina McCarthy said.
The revisions to the Agricultural Worker Pro-tection Standard also change the certifi cation process, increase train-ing requirements, require tighter record-keeping and protect workers from retal-iation when they report potential safety violations.

Pope Francis admits bishops covered up pedophile priests
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE — Catholic Church hierarchies shielded the crimes of pedophile priests, Pope Francis admitted Monday, hours after meeting people who were abused in their youth by members of the clergy.
Speaking to reporters on the return fl ight from Phil-adelphia to Rome, at the end of his visit to Cuba and the United States, Francis said molesting children is “almost a sacrilege” for a priest and a betrayal of his
vocation.“And those who have cov-
ered up these things are also guilty,” the pontiff said. “Even some bishops (who) have covered (this) up. It is a very bad thing.”
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), a U.S.-based sup-port group for victims of sexual abuse by clergy, said the pope’s admission comes “after 30 years of public scandal in the U.S. over predator priests and complicit bishops.”
Lawyers for Hastert in plea negotiations with prosecutors
CHICAGO — Former U.S. House Speaker Den-nis Hastert is negotiating a possible guilty plea to charges he agreed to make $3.5 million in hush-mon-ey payments to cover up wrongdoing from decades ago.
The plea negotiations, revealed Monday during a hearing before U.S. Dis-trict Judge Thomas Dur-
kin, are the fi rst indication that the bombshell charges brought against the Repub-lican powerhouse might never be fully aired at trial.
Hastert has pleaded not guilty to one count each of evading currency report-ing requirements and lying to the FBI and remains free on his own recognizance. He was not required to attend Monday’s hearing.

Fall: America’s favorite season. Leaves falling from trees and new
coffee blends are just some of the features that make this time of the year so famous.
But as current college students with mid-terms ahead, the only fall that matters is the potential fall in our GPAs. Don’t worry, this can be indeed a troublesome season for many students, and if you sometimes feel that you have too much to do or are somewhat stressed, I have some advice: Take a breath and spend some time at the Quad.
Many people may see just relaxing on the Quad as “unpleasant” for a variety of reasons. Grass, dirt and background noise don’t always sound like a good combination for a study or rest environment at first glance.
For those who are advocates of silence and comfort in the workplace, however, I must say that studying outside can be not only productive, but also bring many benefits for your health and academic
performance.As we all know, spending
some time outdoors is an old recommendation from our doctors, health specialists and parents, on par with eating an apple a day.
And far from medical folklore, it actually has a very strong scientific basis: Exposure to sunlight and the outdoors is linked to ben-efits rang-ing from the prevention of myopia and depression to improve-ments in sleep quality.
In a more recent field of study, there are many dis-coveries that show great improve-ments in productivity and skills of students who have outdoors learning habits.
As shown by a paper from University of Toronto, out-door environments can improve cognitive learn-ing. Students inserted in a outside-classroom learning program had better results when compared to stu-dents who had their studies indoors. It is also known that this practice can decrease stress levels and even con-
tribute to a better memory. With so many proven ben-efits, spending some time lounging under a tree after classes is definitely worth a try.
For those who are still concerned about the grass, dirt and noise at this point, you will be glad to know that these features aren’t as both-ersome as they seem when
you get used to them.
The ben-efits of out-door learn-ing are being praised by many educa-tion special-ists as the “new revolu-tion” in edu-cation. From kindergarten to college, more and more course proposals try to include
outside-classroom activities and even entire classes held outdoors are met with very positive feedback.
Some colleges even have centers to help professors and everyone interested in bringing this concept to their subjects.
As highlighted by the Teaching Outside Classroom guide from Vanderbilt University, “field experiences early in
a student’s career can be formative and can inspire students to continue in a field.” Illinois also has on-campus initiatives.
Architecture for example has many activities on the campus quads and public spaces, mostly related to sketch practices. Further, many majors have related clubs and initiatives that seek achieving experiences and improving skills through activities and practices outdoors.
Our university by itself is a remarkably good place to give a chance to outside-desk study habits, and offers all kinds of parks and open spaces. The Illini Grove and the less known Arboretum next to the Florida Avenue Residence Hall are places that should be visited more often by students, certainly if you’re looking for a new study spot. But if you’re still convinced to stay attached to your chair and procrastinate enjoying this fall season “later,” I warn: Winter is coming! As the days get shorter and shorter, soon everyone will have plenty of time to stay indoors. Enjoy the last weeks of warm weather and try to use them in the best way possible, you surely will miss them.

Students should think outside the dorm
Pope Francis addressed the Congress of the United States on Thurs-
day with a speech that strayed from advocating certain religious beliefs but focused on the need for activism and selflessness. The pope spoke of activists such as Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Dorothy Day; he used their activism as an exam-ple for Americans to follow. He stated, “the yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us.”
The pope spoke of the “Golden Rule” in order to inspire the youth to partake in activism that could lead to a better and more equal future. University students should use the encourag-ing words of the pope to acknowledge the poverty around them and apply the knowledge they gain in the classroom into our very own Champaign community.
Dorothy Day, one the activists applauded by Pope Francis, was a student at the University. Day became a journalist for leftist publi-
cations and a fervent fighter for the poor. The students of the Champaign commu-nity can be activists and raise awareness for the less fortunate living so close to campus, similar to Day. We should start using the yard-stick we have used for those who inspire us and those who have brought about pos-itive chang-es to our country and start to mea-sure our own work on this campus and Champaign County.
With the resources our Univer-sity pro-vides, this is very fea-sible. The Office of Vol-unteer Pro-grams here on campus states that they encourage students to vol-unteer their time in order to do some work for the com-munity. The program has much to offer for those will-ing to donate their time, yet out of the 44,087 students enrolled at the University, the program only has over 300 students registered to volunteer.
Of course there are other
ways to do some work for the local community: The Champaign community has soup kitchens and other out-reach programs. In fact, there are plenty of service and volunteering RSOs with-in our University available for students to join through-out the year. Especially with 21.6 percent of the Cham-
paign coun-ty popula-tion living in poverty, the student body could fur-ther its out-reach with strong activ-ism to devel-op the same qualities of selflessness the pope addressed.
The bub-ble that sur-rounds cam-pus can be
eliminated if one is will-ing to step out of Green Street and observe the rest of the community. The pope argued that Dr. King, Presi-dent Lincoln, and Day “were able by hard work and self-sacrifice – some at the cost of their lives – to build a bet-ter future.” The students of the University should be encouraged to participate in more than sports, academ-
ic clubs and work; students should be pushed to help the locals in order to better the community that surrounds this campus.
In a world revolving around selfies and Snap-chats, it seems that this is the perfect time for some-one with great influence, like Pope Francis, to remind young people of the need for selfless work. Pope Fran-cis spoke of the poor and their need for hope and he addressed the unequal dis-tribution of wealth in this country because he believes that there is work to be done.
He hoped to persuade young people to find a way to help those that are less for-tunate and to become activ-ists just like Martin Luther King Jr. and Dorothy Day.
The pope helped point out that the young activists in our history books were more similar to us than we think; they were ordinary people doing extraordinary things. With the bountiful resourc-es the University provides and just the right amount of motivation, the students of Illinois have the power to similarly bring extraor-dinary change into our community.

The time for young activism is now
It’s increasingly easy to be on our phones during class. Despite some professors’ ef-forts to make classes
“tech-free,” iPads, iPhones and laptops still find ways to snake themselves out of our backpacks and onto our desks — or frequently hid-den under them.
So rather than jotting down notes, we end up checking out what’s happen-ing on Facebook and Twit-ter with very little self-re-straint.
While getting notes later or checking the PowerPoint slides on Compass are op-tions, missing out on unique information from the pro-fessor’s lecture and learn-ing from any student ques-tions or discussions are a crucial aspect of in-class meetings that we are rob-bing ourselves of.
The ubiquity and addic-tion surrounding our cell phone use is a reason why we applaud apps such as Pocket Points that incentiv-ize staying off our phones during classes. When stu-dents are in class, they sim-ply have to open the app and lock their phones. The time ticks away, and as you go more minutes without using your phone, you get more rewards, such as coupons for local restaurants.
When we have our phones out during class, we are caught in a constant state of multitasking, trying to lis-ten to the professor in the background while simulta-neously reading our friends’ cute Instagram captions that capture the past week-end’s memories. It’s clearly entirely distracting, as well as disrespectful to the pro-fessor. We use our phones during times when we seem to have nothing better to do, and unfortunately, we have started to apply that label to key elements of our educa-tion.
By staying glued to our pieces of technology during class, we are harming our chances of success and de-creasing how well we com-prehend topics necessary to our success in college. While it would be nice to simply stay away from tech-nology, it’s easy to see that even when professors ban use in classrooms, the ef-forts are for naught.
Hopefully with more ef-forts to limit distraction — like Pocket Points —, we can start putting our education on the forefront when we’re in the classroom, at the very least.
While some options don’t have the coupon incentives, we can continue the need to use our technology for the better by using applications on our laptops like Self Con-trol, which block websites for certain amounts of time to prevent us from taking five-minute breaks to check back on Facebook (which end up turning into 30 min-utes, anyway).
We hope that applica-tions such as Pocket Points and Self Control encourage students to be engaged in classroom discussions.

UI’S ISLAM AWARENESS WEEK
This week is Islam Awareness at the University. Throughout the entire week, students of all cultures can participate in activities to increase awareness and knowledge about Mus-lim beliefs and lifestyle. For example, yesterday kicked off a three-day challenge for people to wear a hijab — which will close with a discussion at the Women’s Resource Cen-ter. Just venture out to the “Talk to a Muslim” station set up on the Quad to take advantage of such a great learning and communicating opportunity.
BAD BLOOD (MOON)Stargazers and ordinary citizens alike all had their camer-as and smartphones out to witness the “blood moon” or the supermoon eclipse, a rare phenomenon that we haven’t seen since 1982. While some NASA pictures have been impres-sive and breathtaking, the sight was not as spectacular from the grounds of Champaign with clouds mostly obstructing the view. Not to fear — we’ll be ready for the next “blood moon”... in 2033.
WHO LIVES IN A GLOWING SHELL UNDER THE SEA...
Scientists have discovered the first ever glowing sea turtle near the Solomon Islands ... so I guess that time I painted my turtle with glow-in-the-dark paint as a kid doesn’t count toward such a scientific feat. These amazing hawksbill sea turtles are some of the most endangered animals on the planet, so conservation is ever-important.
SUMMER LOVIN’ ENDED SO FASTThis Friday will officially be the beginning of October, meaning the month of Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, scarf-sweater combos, football games and October Lovers Club is here. And yet, where is the weather? Way up in the stratosphere of thermometers. Come on, Mother Nature, can’t you work with us? Snowflakes, not orange leaves, should fall on Christ-mas. Here’s to hoping for an October where the tempera-ture stays below 80 degrees.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD
BY ELIZABETH DYESTAFF WRITER
Three experts. A life-time of research. A sim-ple solution. All in one documentary.
The Art Theater Co-op is hosting a screening of “Pla-neat” on Tuesday, a 2010 documentary fi lm that fol-lows the work of infl uential researchers, scientists and experts to not only reveal the connection between diet, health and the envi-ronment, but offers cre-ative solutions to the declin-ing state of each sector. The free screening, sponsored by the University’s Law and Philosophy program, Wom-en and Gender in Global Perspective’s program and Champaign’s Land Conser-vation Foundation, will be held at 7:30 p.m .
Running just under 90 minutes, the documenta-ry is fi lled with innovative research and solutions from doctors, scientists and agriculture experts from around the world who link the largely ani-mal-based Western diet to rising cancer risks and the increasing destruc-tion of our planet.
Professor Rebecca Roach, teaching associ-ate in ACES and professor of food science and human nutrition, said she agrees that the average American diet, fi lled with meat and dairy, contributes to larg-er health and environmen-tal problems.
“We know that the obe-sity levels in America increase every year,” Roach said. “They haven’t even plateaued yet; they contin-ue to increase, and with that we are also seeing a higher incident of Type 2 diabetes, also heart disease, which is associated with diet. We’re seeing those various mor-tality factors in the US increase as well. We’re also exhausting fossil fuels to raise cattle and pigs and damaging our water sourc-es from the runoff.”
Richard Mulvaney, a nat-ural resources and environ-mental sciences professor who studies soil fertility said the agricultural prac-tices involved in produc-ing our diet create multi-faceted effects on the environment.
“The effects are very wide-ranging, and the impact is global,” Mul-vaney said. “Examples would relate to the loss of nutrients that would impact water quality and air qual-ity, but those practices also impact the soil’s prop-erties. Soils have changed and they will continue to change depending on how they’re managed. The out-fall of human management affects every aspect of the environment: land, air and water.”
Mulvaney emphasized the misuse of fertilizers as a huge cause of environ-mental issues.
“Many agricultural prac-tices are directed toward high yields and intensive production practices, which
invariably lead to the inten-sive use of fertilizers,” Mul-vaney said. “Fertilizers have many effects, proba-bly the best known outfall from fertilizer usage would be connected with nitrogen, because it is such a bioac-tive nutrient, and it very often limits productivity in any ecosystem.”
While the documentary does highlight the negative impact of the Western diet, the experts in “Planeat” also provide creative solu-tions to many of the health and environmental prob-lems that our diets have created. The fi lm features many international chefs and farmers offering their expertise on techniques to growing and making the food that humans should be consuming.
Professor Mulvaney said he believes sustainable farming using soil testing and agronomic manage-ment is a solution because farmers put effort into managing their fertilizers,
instead of using fertilizers as an insurance policy.
“Farmers need to gain a better working knowledge of the soils they farm,” Mul-vaney said. “They need to move toward variable rate fertilization, where the rate is varied across the fi eld to account for what the soil can supply. If they do that, we can get more effi cien-cy from the fertilizer we’re using and we will have less loss to the environment.”
Research in the fi lm sug-gests that making dietary changes, such as reducing meat consumption, can pos-itively change the impact humans have on the planet.
Mulvaney said he agrees that decreasing meat pro-duction would help the environment, stressing the
ineffi ciency involved in producing the meat.
“Meat production is inherently ineffi cient in terms of nutrient har-vesting and also in terms of water use,” Mulvaney said. “The loss of effi cien-cy takes place in growing the animal as well as the feed crops.”
The documentary’s makers also hope to instill positive dietary changes within its viewers. Lauren McKinney, sophomore in
LAS, said she hopes to see the fi lm so that she can rec-ognize her own fallible food choices.
“I always think my diet is okay and that I’m eating the right things for the most part,” McKinney said. “But what I don’t realize is how few of the foods I eat are actually not already pre-made or just meat. I nev-er really think about the impact of the food I eat every day, so being able to hear and see the actual con-sequences of my decisions I think would help me make better ones.”
Roach said she suggests viewing the fi lm, but with one stipulation.
“While health problems are linked to diet, they are due to much more than just our food choices. Improv-ing nutrition can be an appropriate adjunct to oth-er treatments and lifestyle modifi cations, but it alone is not a solution.”
Art Theater Co-op to host free screening of ‘Planeat’
believe is an obligation as a part of their faith.”
Beyond answering ques-tions, Shaikh said the MSA wants people to understand what being Muslim means specifi cally in relation to the wearing of the hijab.
“This might be one of the only times that people might have exposure to Islam,” Shaikh said.
For Martini, wearing the headscarf comes with many expectations from people she encounters out-side of the religion.
“I feel like it takes a while before they start to recognize that they should pay attention to what is actually in my head instead of what’s on it,” Martini said. “I have to be extra friendly or trying hard all the time because ... I know
that I’m a representation of my religion to them.”
Shaikh also explained that wearing the heads-carf can prove diffi cult at times in a society that usu-ally does not promote “cov-ering up.”
“It’s kind of contrary to what the majority of soci-ety thinks of as progres-sive, and progressive wom-en don’t necessarily cover themselves,” Shaikh said. “So I think it’s a concept that is a little bit lost in society and it makes me appreciate it all the much more.”
Martini said that to some Muslim women, the hijab serves as a central part of their identity.
“I think that when you really learn to grow a love for the headscarf and what it means and the symbol-ism that comes with it, then yeah, it does become some-thing really, really per-
sonal and becomes a part of your identity,” Martini said.
The MSA also aims to learn from their partici-pants’ feelings about the “Wear A Hijab Challenge” experience.
“The discussion will serve to collect and cap-ture the opinions of our participants,” Zayyad said. “Everyone experiences hijab differently. So hope-fully by sharing everyone’s narration, we can author a story.”
Martini said her per-sonal goal for the event is to spread the word post-experience.
“(I want to see people) challenging themselves to meet new people and to learn about people’s stories before they try writing it themselves.”

Trends to fall for
CULTURE
BY ANNABETH CARLSONASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
Last Wednesday was the fi rst day of fall, which qualifi es as a nation-al holiday in my book. There is nothing more exciting than kicking off the season of cozy sweaters and fl annels, bonfi res, apple-picking, Pumpkin Spice Lattes
and well — pumpkin-fl avored anything.
Unfortunately, the high was 85 degrees on the fi rst day of fall, so I found myself a bit sweaty while sipping my hot pumpkin drink and wearing a sweater. But as the tempera-ture drops, these are the 10 fall-fashion trends that I can’t live without:
1. Suede
By far my favorite trend, suede is the ultimate upgrade for your fall wardrobe. The fabric was spotted on dresses, jackets, boots and more on the runways of Burberry, Chloé, Chanel. I love that whether real or fake, suede adds a sumptu-ous feel to any outfi t. I plan on styling my tan suede skirt with a cream sweater, brown leather jacket and gold accessories.
2. Felt hats
Spotted on the runways of Maison Michel and Ralph Lau-ren, you would be mad as a hat-ter to not sport one of these cozy caps this season! Sum-mery styles like fl oppy hats and fedoras get a seasonal upgrade with warmer materials like felt and wool. My pick: a camel-col-ored oversized fedora with a leather band. The neutral col-
ors and structured shape com-pliment nearly every fall look.
3. Blanket scarves
Fashion over function is no more with this trend. Blan-ket scarves combine popular prints like plaid with warm wool to create the idyllic cold weather accessory. Not to men-tion they are incredibly versa-tile and can be used as a scarf, poncho or even a blanket at your next fall bonfi re.
4. Emerald green
Take a cue from nature and make a statement with this deep jewel tone, reminiscent of pine trees that remain color-ful after the leaves fall. I pre-fer the shade in small doses, with a green handbag that pops against other cold-weather col-ors like navy and black.
5. Slip-on sneakers
Whether paired with a comfy t-shirt dress or edgy leather leggings, slip-on sneakers are the update to last fall’s lace-up tennis shoes. Don’t be afraid to bring attention to your feet by picking out a pair in an unex-pected color like light grey or with an eye-catching texture like snakeskin. Did I mention fashion bloggers Chiara Fer-ragni of The Blonde Salad and Pernille Teisbaek of Look de Pernille approve?
6. Checks
Plaid is always a fall sta-ple, but I love this year’s bold checks as shown on the run-ways of Marc by Marc Jacobs and Missoni. Many design-
ers paired matching plaid tops and skirts together for an eye-catching and modern take on a classic. To mimic this two-piece look, you can throw on a plaid dress for an effortless, yet trendy vibe.
7. Marsala red
It comes as no shock that this rich, burgundy hue was named the 2015 Pantone Color of the Year. Reminiscent of a glass of deep red wine, the shade brings sophistication and drama to any look. But what I love most about the color is its versatility. To class, I’ll wear a marsala-colored lip, toned down with a baseball cap, fl annel and ripped jeans. For a night out, I plan on pairing the lipstick with my favorite red
suede dress.8. Flared jeans
The ’70s are back and bet-ter than ever. While I loved the bold, retro prints on BCBG Max Azria’s runway , the cool-est part of this fashion come-back is the return of fl are and bell-bottom jeans, as shown by Frame Denim and J Brand . I plan on styling my fl are jeans with cropped sweaters and tees and leather peep-toe booties.
9. Untraditional boots
While I will always stay true to my classic leather rid-ing boots, I have to admit that they had less of a presence on the fall runways. Instead, style blog “Who What Wear” said to focus on booties and over-
the-knee boots with details like suede and fringe this season. Since I am only 5’3,’’ I am wary of the over-the-knee trend, but will be sure to incorporate boo-ties into my fall shoe rotation.
10. Tassel accessories
According to Vogue , tas-sel earrings have made a huge comeback this season after being spotted in the fall collec-tions of Lanvin and Oscar de la Renta. The elegant but striking shape brings drama to any out-fi t, but my take on the trend is a chunky tassel necklace with simple stud earrings.

The hijab: more than just clothing
BY NATALIE STEWARTSTAFF WRITER
Although it may come in an array of colors, pat-terns and textures, the hijab represents much more than just a piece of clothing or a mere fashion statement to Muslim women.
Monday marked the start of Islam Awareness Week, where students in the Mus-
lim Student Association put on a series of discussions and activities on campus. One of these activities is the “Wear A Hijab Challenge.” Starting on Monday, any student could receive a free hijab to wear through Wednesday and refl ect on their experience in an open discussion.
Momina Shaikh, senior in AHS and outreach chair for the Muslim Student Association, said that the hijab is a head covering that women in Islam wear as a means of demonstrat-ing their faith and values.
“There are many reasons that are a part of the hijab,
so one of the main ones is modesty and not just in dressing, but also in your character,” Shaikh said.
“By wearing the hijab you realize that you are being modest in your character, modest in your speech,
modest in how you’re talk-ing to people, interacting with people and it kind of holds you to a great moral
standard.”The goal of the “Wear
A Hijab Challenge” is to inform through experience,
explained Bana Zayyad, junior in Engineering and MSA vice president.
“The challenge tries to capture the essence of hijab by having the par-ticipant go to offi ce hours in hijab or order a coffee in hijab,” Zayyad said. “It’s very much a differ-ent experience to interact with strangers and friends in hijab rather than wear-ing it passively.”
According to Sameha Martini, junior in LAS and MSA knowledge chair, the
challenge is aimed at dis-pelling stereotypes con-nected to the hijab, and allowing students to ask
questions. “(The goal of the chal-
lenge is) to give people a glimpse into the Muslim perspective and what it’s like to be a Muslim female that wears the headscarf and to portray and real-ly express the fact that oppression is not connect-ed to the headscarf in any way,” Martini said. “(It represents) someone who wants to fulfi ll what they

Wide receivers Mike Dudek and Justin Hardee will remain out this week for their respective inju-ries. Head coach Bill Cubit did not say when they are expected to return.“My whole thing is to get them healthy fi rst and then we’ll fi gure it all out,” Cubit said. “And it may be where they are not healthy and you don’t have to make a deci-sion and it’s really easy. Health is the most impor-tant thing at this point.”
Dudek tore his ACL in practice last spring, while Hardee suffered a broken foot during the offseason.
As the two veterans have sat out, Illinois has strug-gled in the receiving game. There have been dropped passes, bad timing and missed signals.
The team has also strug-gled running plays to tight ends because Tyler White suffered a concussion dur-ing the North Carolina game. White was evaluat-ed Monday and will be in non-contact drills through-out the week. Cubit hopes to have him back for Satur-day’s game.
Since the season started, wide receiver Geronimo Allison has led the receiv-ing group, elected team cap-tain three games in a row. Malik Turner and Marchie Murdock have stepped up but Cubit said it takes time to adjust after neither played a lot last season.
Quarterback Wes Lunt echoed Cubit’s thoughts, saying that both Dudek and Hardee bring a lot to the team, but their biggest chal-lenge is getting the newer guys used to playing more.
“I think the biggest thing between those two guys and the guys we have now is experience,” Lunt said. “It’s just having that confi dence of, ‘hey I’ve played a lot of football and I know what I’m doing is huge.’ Some of these younger guys have doubt creeping up in their minds, and I know I felt the same way when I fi rst start-ed at the college career.”
Illini backfi eld steps into the future
With an offense centered around the pocket presence of Lunt, the Illinois run-ning game has struggled, but against Middle Tennes-see State, the prospective future of the Illini backfi eld appeared.
Freshman Ke’Shawn Vaughn rushed for 80 yards on 13 carries, including one touchdown. Those 80 yards were the most rush-ing yards in a game by an Illinois true freshman since Donovan Young ran for 100 yards in 2011.
Cubit said the fi rst half of the Middle Tennessee game was geared toward star senior running back Josh Ferguson and his style of play. But as Ferguson grew tired, it become all Vaughn in the second half.
“I thought he really grew up,” Cubit said. “I really like the way he plays, he was patient in his runs, he understood where the unblocked guy was. He’s really a smart, smart player.”
Vaughn will play a key
role for Illinois coaches as they try to determine how to keep Ferguson in the game until the end. Ferguson, who fi nished with 83 yards on 20 carries, has been get-ting the ball a lot, but has also been taking a lot of hits. Coaches said that instead
of running out of bounds — like last year — Ferguson has been getting smaller but positive yard gains.
Until coaches fi nd a bal-ance for keeping Ferguson in longer, Vaughn will have to play more, according to Cubit.
“We trust him,” Cubit said. “He’s earned that true ... In order for us to get through, Ke’Shawn has got to be a player for us.”

Lack of depth limits Illinois’ offense
BY DANIEL DEXTERSTAFF WRITER
The Illinois volleyball team (11-2) put forth two strong defensive perfor-mances in its weekend sweeps of Maryland (10-6) and Rutgers (3-10).
The team out-blocked its opponents by a signifi cant margin, recording 11 and nine blocks against Maryland and Rutgers , respectively. Middle blocker Katie Stadick led the category with 10 blocks on the weekend, recording seven in the Maryland match.
The blocking effort con-tributed to low hit percent-age from both of the Illini’s weekend opponents. Mary-
land was held to a .064 hit percentage, which factors in the 26 errors the Terra-pins committed. Rutgers recorded nine fewer errors and managed a .134 hit per-centage, despite connect-ing on two fewer kills than Maryland.
Defensive specialist Bran-di Donnelly said the team’s strong defensive play was in part due to how much energy the squad brought to each matchup.
“We knew we had to bring a lot of energy because there wasn’t going to be a big crowd,” Donnelly said. “I thought we did a great job of bringing a lot of good defensive energy which is the spark of our team.”
Maryland tries to avoid Donnelly
The Terrapins did their best to target their hits away from Donnelly, a member of last year’s Big Ten All-Freshman Team. It was the fi rst match of the season where Donnelly did not lead the team in digs.
Instead, defensive special-ists Julia Conard and Dani-elle Davis tied for the most digs for Illinois with nine, followed by the eight record-ed by Donnelly and opposite hitter Ali Stark.
Head coach Kevin Ham-bly had no problem with Donnelly not being the digs leader, especially since it allowed her to be effective in other ways.
“They weren’t hitting at Brandi, which is smart,” Hambly said. “I wouldn’t hit at Brandi either. They attacked the middle of the court and the right side a lot more. It’s good that they don’t hit at Brandi because then she can take more court and give more people help.”
Donnelly returned to form the following night with 19 digs. It was 11 more than Davis, who recorded the second-most on the team.
Rutgers and Maryland drop to the bottom of the Big Ten
Illinois’ victories over Rutgers and Maryland may be its easiest tests of the conference season.
The Scarlet Knights were facing injury troubles heading into the match, which has contributed to the team losing six of its last seven. Rutgers now sits last in the Big Ten standings.
Maryland is on a fi ve-match losing skid after winning its fi rst nine. Both teams also lost to Northwest-ern at home over the week-end and will go on to play at Indiana and Purdue this week.
Illinois, on the other hand, will continue to be tested by one of the best conferenc-es in the sport. It travels on Wednesday to Wiscon-sin (8-4), which is 0-2 in the Big Ten but has only lost to perennial powerhouses Penn State and Ohio State.

Former Illini Randle returns home
BY ALEX ROUXBASKETBALL COLUMNIST
When Illinois basket-ball star Tal Brody chose to play professionally in Israel instead of with the NBA’s St. Louis Hawks in 1966, it was the beginning of a hoops renaissance in the Holy Land.
Brody’s stellar play for the Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv for over a decade and a half made him a nation-al hero in Israel, and the game’s popularity swelled in a country where basket-ball had never previously been a primary sport. Mac-cabi Tel Aviv is now wildly popular throughout Israel and other parts of Europe, and Brody’s contributions
to the game have helped put another Illini alum in posi-tion for a unique opportu-nity nearly 50 years later.
Brian Randle played for Illinois from 2003-07, and has since enjoyed a success-ful career playing profes-sionally overseas. Randle, a Peoria, Ill., native, is now preparing for his second season with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Maccabi Tel Aviv’s pre-season schedule includes a United States tour this year, which has become common-place for high-level Europe-an teams who want to pre-pare for their seasons by scrimmaging NBA teams. But this year, Tel Aviv’s U.S. tour has a wrinkle. They’ll participate in the fi rst-ever matchup between two Turk-ish Airlines Euroleague teams on U.S. soil when they play two games against longtime rival Emporio Armani Milan as part of the Euroleague Basketball World Tour.

“I have been working on it, and it feels a lot better,” Dusek said. “I have been icing it, and the swelling has gone down a bit.”
Caprio hurt his shoulder Friday and was not fit to play in the game Saturday.
Sophomore forward Mike Fischer and junior forward Eric Saulters couldn’t make the trip to Oklahoma. Fisch-er also had a shoulder inju-ry, which he sustained in the second game against Michi-gan State. He has scored one goal this season.
Saulters didn’t make the trip due to family matters.
Despite the missing skat-ers, defenseman Austin Zima believed that this team could’ve still put up a better fight against Oklahoma.
“We have a team where
we can put 20 guys out on that ice and compete with anybody,” Zima said. “I am sure that we can put anybody out on that ice on any given day and they will get the job done.” Slow starts plague the Illini
Illinois hockey has fallen victim to slow starts so far this year.
The Illini have played six games, counting the two exhibition games before the regular season started. In those six games, the Illini had the lead once after the first period and Zima attrib-uted that to bad habits.
“We just need to play the way we know how to play,” Zima said. “Right now we just keep shooting ourselves in the foot.”
The slow starts have effectively knocked the Illini out of several games early. In the first exhibition game against the Spring-field Jr. Blues and the sec-ond game against Michigan State, Illinois was already down already down multi-ple goals to start the game.
Head coach Nick Fabbrini is not sure exactly what the cause of the slow starts is.
“I don’t know if it is because we aren’t prepared or if it’s something else,” Fabbrini said. “We just need to work on our preparation in all aspects, whether it is at practice the week of, or
preparation on game day.”According to Fabbrini,
the Illini need to eliminate the slow starts if they want to string wins together.
Illinois hockey to get some exposure in Chicago area
The Illini will be playing their next game on a neu-
tral venue. The Alabama Crimson Tide will face off against the Illini at Johnny’s Ice House in Chicago.
This will be the third year in a row that the Illini will be playing at Johnny’s Ice House. According to Fab-brini, it gives Illinois excel-lent exposure in an area that is heavy with youth hockey talent.
The game will also allow some of the Illini players to play close to home.
Fabbrini said that the Crimson Tide feature a good amount of Chicago-area players.
Alabama only recently upgraded to being a Divi-sion I club team. They were excited to not only take on Illinois, but also bring their
players on a longer trip.“(Alabama) contact-
ed me looking for a well-established team to play against,” Fabbrini said. “When I asked if they want-ed to play in Chicago they were all for it.”

The Illinois hockey team played without a few con-tributors this weekend against Oklahoma.
Junior defenseman Aar-on Dusek and sophomore defensemen Joey Caprio suffered injuries in the first game against the Sooners on Friday. Dusek hurt his hand on a play against the boards. He got his hand caught between a Sooners’ player and the board, and it bent the wrong way.
He had a hard time hold-ing his stick after the injury, and didn’t play in the game on Saturday.

Redshirt senior Jannelle Flaws isn’t 100 percent, but it won’t stop the Illinois soccer team’s all-time leading scor-er from being on the field and contributing to the team.
Flaws is dealing with chronic Plantar Fasciitis. The effects of the injury vary day-to-day.
“Some days it feels real-ly good, some days it hurts,” Flaws said after Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Maryland in overtime. “It just really depends. Today it definitely really hurt.”
Head coach Janet Rayfield noted that a player as compet-itive as Flaws is always will-ing to work and improve. For that reason, Rayfield said it is hard to shut her down.
“When you get beat up as much as she does, something is always sore,” Rayfield said. “She’s battling through some foot soreness, so we’re really going to try to get her healthy this week.”
The good news for Flaws is that her injury is isolated. Her plantar fasciitis provides minimal risk to other injury.
“By playing through it I’m not damaging any other part of my body,” Flaws said. “It’s one of those I just have to suck up and play through.”
Flaws wants to be on the field during games but is not opposed to limiting her min-utes if it benefits the team. At the end of the day, she thinks of herself as a team player.
“The plan is just to get myself to a place where I can be the best player,” Flaws said. “If that comes down to taking a few prac-tices off — or something like that — or taking more breaks in the game, (I’ll do) what-ever is best for this team.”
Breece’s impact being felt
Senior midfielder/forward hybrid Nicole Breece did it all on Sunday for the Illini.
Breece started the scor-ing off with her signature flip
throw-in, which found the lac-es freshman of Katie Murray right in front of the net.
“My role with the flip through is just to give us another chance,” Breece said. “I’m doing everything that I can to give us another chance, and Katie did a great job get-ting on the end of that.”
Breece’s other role is to consistently get the ball into scoring areas. On Sunday, however, it was Breece on the finishing end.
The St. Louis-native scored the game-winning goal in the 118th minute of a double-overtime game on a header coming after a long, Hope D’Addario cross.
“I saw a ball coming in from Hope — a great ball — and I tried to get something on it, and when it went in, I was thrilled,” Breece said. “This time, I took the role of trying to get myself in and finish, so it was awesome.”

In 2014, the Illinois wom-en’s cross-country team headed to the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis, and left disappointed.
The team placed ninth out of 26 teams at Satur-day’s meet, improving on last year’s 18th-place per-formance at the course, and head coach Scott Jones was pleased with the results.
“Across the board, I think we were happy with what we did,” Jones said. “I thought it was a positive experience for us. We were better in our preparation (for the meet) and focus.”
Redshirt senior Alyssa Schneider led the way for the team, completing the race in 21 minutes and 27 seconds, good for fourth overall. Boi-se State finished first in the team competition, followed by Michigan State and host Minnesota.
It was the third-consecu-tive meet that Schneider has finished first for the Illini.
“I was really happy with (the performance),” Sch-neider said. “Individual-ly and as a team we made huge improvements from last time out.”
Schneider pointed out that having raced the course last year, she knew she had to take a better approach to the hilly course. Start-
ing off conservative and gradually increasing her speed throughout the race, the strategy ended up as a success.
Jones was also encouraged with Schneider’s perfor-mance, adding that she has been working hard in prac-tice to get better everyday.
“Her fitness is at a very high level,” Jones said. “It was a fantastic race. Having that senior poise and matu-rity really helped her out.”
Finishing second for the Illini was senior Britten Petrey, who completed the race in 22:41.
Following right behind her was junior Hanna Win-ter with a time of 22:51. Pet-ry finished 46th overall and Winter came in 58th.
Junior Valerie Bobart and sophomore Denise Branch were next to cross the fin-ish line for the Illini, fin-ishing in 23:13 and 23:17, respectively. The meet was Branch’s first time running in a large college cross coun-try environment after being injured last season. Jones was impressed with how Branch carried herself out on the course and was hap-py that she could take in the race experience with 26 dif-ferent teams present.
Sophomore Audrey Blazek followed up after Branch, completing the race in 23:27. Junior Kim Seger was last to
cross for Illinois, finishing with a time of 25:06.
Jones said he liked how Blazek set the pace early for the team, which contributed to the overall team success at the invite.
Blazek said she wanted to make sure the team started
out conservatively and saved some of its energy toward the latter parts of the race.
“I heard a lot from the girls who raced it last year that you can’t go out like you do in a normal race, the course just doesn’t really allow that,” Blazek said.
The team will hope to use this as a momentum lift going into its next race.
“We want this to be a con-fidence boost for all of our runners,” stated Jones. “I think we just need to keep grinding and keep our feet on the ground moving
forward.” The Illini will have a
couple of weeks off before they head to Louisville on October 17 to compete in Pre-Nationals.

cago at United Center at 7 p.m. on Oct. 1 before head-ing to New York City for an Oct. 4 matchup at Madison Square Garden. For Randle, the game at United Center means a rare chance to play as a pro in front of friends and family.
“It’s great to be able to share the European basket-ball experience with fam-ily and friends,” Randle
said via email from Israel. “When I’m gone and when I return home in the sum-mers, I get asked a lot of questions and even when I answer them, people still have a look like they need to see it to understand.”
Randle knows he’ll have a contingent waiting for him Thursday in Chicago, but the exact size of his cheering section will be a surprise.
“According to my wife, we are going to have a pret-ty full family and friends
section,” Randle said. “She won’t tell me how many, so I’m guessing I’ll be well rep-resented. (It’s) pretty cool.”
Randle was a high school standout at Peoria Manual before playing for Bruce Weber and the Illini, and going undrafted in the 2008 NBA Draft. He had a chance to compete for a roster spot with the Atlan-ta Hawks, but instead elect-ed to begin a career over-seas. He’s spent all but two months of his career play-ing for five Israeli teams
(he played with a German team for two months), which required a major lifestyle adjustment after departing Illinois.
“Being an indepen-dent college student is an important life adjustment, but leaving everything you know and love to live alone and abroad was a shock to my system,” Randle said. “I wanted to go home almost every day for the first three months of the season; well, almost the entire season I wanted to go home. It got
pretty lonely, but the time alone gave me plenty of time to reflect and evaluate my life moving forward.”
Randle has since carved out a niche as a utility play-er on one of Europe’s pre-mier teams, averaging 12 points and 5.6 rebounds for Maccabi last season. Play-ing in Israel means play-ing in front of raucous crowds who are passionate about their teams, thanks in large part to Brody’s impact for the better part of two decades.
“The fans in Maccabi are amazing and they love the club,” Randle said. “No matter where we travel in Europe, we always have a cheering section and they are loud and proud to be cheering for Maccabi. It’s amazing and humbling to be a part of.”
Basketball has taken Ran-dle all over the world, and on Thursday it will nearly bring him home.

As smooth as he is on the ice, apparently he’s even smooth-
er on the dance floor — Illi-ni defenseman Austin Zima sat down to talk with me about everything from my flow to his beard.
Kevin McCarthy: You guys got your butts handed to you on Saturday night against the Oklahoma Sooners. What happened?
Austin Zima: It was just bad. It was just a good ol’ fashioned (butt) whoopin’. We were on the penalty kill for the first eight minutes. It’s hard to generate much on offense when you’re constantly on the kill. You’re right though, we just got our (butts) handed to us — there’s really no way around it.
KM: How good can this year’s team be?
AZ: Very good. There’s no reason that we can’t contend for a champion-ship. We’re a good hock-ey team when we show up. Friday night we compet-ed hard against one of the best teams in the nation, but Saturday we didn’t show up. We’re a two-headed monster. My dad sent me a quote the other day that said, “when good teams lose, it’s not because they lose to their oppo-nents, but usually because they lose to themselves.” That’s the case with this year’s team.
KM: The last two times that Illinois won an ACHA National Championship, head coach Nick Fabbri-ni was wearing an Illinois sweater. What does it mean to play for a guy who has been there and done that?
AZ: It’s comforting. You know that the person that you’re looking to has done it himself before. He’s been in our locker room, he’s played in front of our same fans. He has two rings, nobody in our locker room can say that.
KM: What makes playing
hockey so fun?AZ: When I ran into con-
cussion issues last year, hockey was not fun. It sucked. I was scared to go to the rink, I was scared to go on the ice during the game, I was scared to play in front of 2,000 fans. When I was away from the rink, I realized that the most fun part of hockey is being a part of something bigger than yourself.
KM: You guys were 20-6 on home ice last season. Talk about playing in front of the “Harassing Illini.” (The student section at all Illini home games)
AZ: Every time I hit the ice, I get the jitters in my legs.
KM: If we threw you, all of your teammates and coach Fabbrini on a desert island — everybody gets a stick and a skate — who comes out alive?
AZ: I’m gonna say Grant Stueve. He’s just got some weird stuff going on that would make him survive. He’s definitely one of the weirdest kids in the room. He’d find some weird way to make it out.
KM: I’m the between-the-glass reporter this year for all of the home games. Any advice for me?
AZ: Just look out for the puck. Another thing, I’d advise you to keep your mic off if something goes wrong. For the sake of us, and for the sake of censorship.
KM: Hockey players talk some mad trash. What’s the worst thing an opponent has ever said to you?
AZ: The only thing that anyone’s ever said that really got to me is when somebody told me that I was the ugliest guy on the ice. I just know that’s not true. It wasn’t as upset-ting as it was confusing. I don’t want a guy to be lying to himself like that. I don’t know if something was going on with my hair that day or something, but I just know that’s not true.
KM: You mentioned your hair, is mine good enough to fit in on the team?
AZ: Your hair’s great. Very good. We don’t really
have a lot of long-haired guys on the team. Grant Stueve probably has both the best and worst hair. So you’d probably be up there as one of the top two on the team.
KM: Got any fake teeth?AZ: I have never lost or
chipped a tooth playing hockey.
KM: I’ve got two fake teeth.
AZ: Really? Sign him up. We’ll get you a jersey.
KM: What’s your best dance move?
AZ: It’s something I like to call the “Spawning Rooster.” It’s a mixture of the chicken dance, and like a slow strut. When you see it, you know exactly what it is. We don’t really break it
out at the bar that much. So when it happens, you know it’s a good night.
KM: Where might one see the “Spawning Roost-er” on a Friday or Satur-day night?
AZ: KAM’S. Author’s note: Once
I turned the recording devices off, Austin told me about his alter-ego on Friday and Satur-day nights. His name is “Simeon.” I’m still investi-gating for further details.
KM: What’s the playoff beard going to look like this year?
AZ: It’s going to be bad. It’ll be there — no doubt about that — but it’ll be rough.
KM: What’s the best
hockey fight you’ve ever been in?
AZ: Last year, I grabbed a kid on Rhode Island by the ear and bounced his head off the ice three times. I got thrown out of the game, Coach didn’t like that one.
KM: Wanna drop the
gloves right now?AZ: No. I’m not in the
mood — I had a real big lunch.

Rugby loses key players, falls to Ohio State
BY CARLEY KULENKAMPCONTRIBUTING WRITER
In this weekend’s matchup with Ohio State, the Illinois men’s rugby team suffered the loss of two key players:
captain Matt Ramsey and Eli-jah Seay.
Ramsey went down late in the first half with an ACL tear, and Seay left the game ear-ly in the second half due to a shoulder injury. Both players are dominant forces on the team and their absence was felt by the Illini, who fell to the Buckeyes 52-10. Ramsey is out for the season, and Seay’s status is up in the air.
Combining injury with
playing a top-20 team proved to be fatal for Illinois, who are now 0-2.
“Losing those two crucial players created a bit of dis-connect between the backs,” junior Rich Daniels said. “Thus, we let way more scores through than we should have.”
The Illini came out strong in the first half against the No. 20 Buckeyes. Ramsey put Illi-nois on the board with a three-point penalty kick in the first
half, but after his departure, the Illini had difficulty scor-ing. Tighthead prop John Heaney scored the remain-der of Illinois’ points on the team’s only try.
Illinois has had a tough break opening this season facing two of the toughest teams in the Big Ten back-to-back — Illinois lost to Indiana 52-23 two weeks ago.
From here on, the Illini’s season should start looking
up, beginning this weekend when they travel to Iowa City, Iowa, to face the Hawkeyes. Iowa has played one game this season, falling to No. 17 Wis-consin 87-0.
“I am very confident that we will beat them”, Daniels said about Iowa. “But if we lack focus in practice this week, they will be as hard as Indiana or Ohio State.”
After suffering those two losses, Daniels is optimistic
about the rest of the season. He is confident the Illini can win the remainder of their games against fellow Big Ten teams Iowa, Minnesota, Pur-due and Michigan, allowing them to finish 4-2.
The team is still coachless, and Daniel said he is actively looking for a faculty member to coach the team.

“The only thing that anyone’s ever said that really got to me is when somebody told
me that I was ugliest guy on the ice. I just know that’s not true.”
