Due to a high volume of pedestrian traffi c, the Uni-versity is creating a new mid-block crosswalk on Sixth Street between the Business Instructional Facil-ity and Wohlers Hall.

The installation of the crosswalk begins Monday, Sept. 22 and should be com-pleted in a few days, said Roland White, civil engineer for Facilities and Services.

The permanence of the crosswalk depends on how it will perform related to the other nearby crossings at Gregory Drive, which is part of the traffi c signal, and the

Taft Van Doren crosswalk, White said.

“We decided to go with a trial installation fi rst and see if it performed, and if it per-forms well, it would become a permanent installation,” White said, adding that he believes it will be in place until at least November.

White said the factors that will be looked at during the trial run include if people are using it correctly, how motorists are interacting with it, the impact it has on traffi c and if people feel safe using the crosswalk.

Sixth street to gain new trial crosswalk

Environmental engineer-ing professor Tami Bond has been named a MacArthur Fellow for her work in black carbon emissions (soot) and its effect on climate change and human health.

Each year, the MacArthur Foundation chooses 20 to 25 people to receive a schol-arship, which is a $625,000 grant dispersed over fi ve years.

Nominations are anony-mous, meaning Bond did not fi nd out she was in the run-ning until she received the call that she had won.

“How they choose (win-ners) is kind of a mystery to everyone,” Bond said. “If you look at people who have received it, they’re very diverse in terms of what they focus on.”

Other winners this year include a cartoonist, a civil

rights lawyer, a jazz compos-er, a poet and more.

While Bond is still adjust-ing to this new achieve-ment, becoming a fellow has her thinking about the next steps she wants to take in her research.

“It certainly means that you can begin to think of things that you can do with-out restriction,” she said. “In most people’s lives, what you choose to do for your employ-ment has something to do with what you love.”

This weekend, Bond will be attending the 13th Inter-national Global Atmospher-ic Chemistry Conference on Atmospheric Chemistry in Brazil to present on admis-sions in the future and how the technology we choose affects what those admis-sions could be.

WASHINGTON — Pres-ident Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden on Friday launched a new public awareness campaign at campuses across America to prevent sexual assaults.

Called “It’s on Us,” the new campaign will try to get students and others on col-lege and university campus-

es to play a part in trying to stop sexual violence before it happens. A new public ser-vice announcement aired for the fi rst time on Friday.

Advocates say many rapes are not reported, and that on campuses the assaults most often occur during women’s fi rst two years at college by someone they know.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Former Connecticut Gov. John R. Rowland, a politi-cal rising star who crashed a decade ago in a corrup-tion scandal, fell again Fri-day when a jury in federal court found him guilty in a low-rent scheme to collect secret paychecks from rich Republican congressional candidates.

After deliberating about

seven hours over two days, the jury convicted the 57-year-old, three-term governor of conspiracy, two counts of falsifying records in order to obstruct an investigation, two counts of causing false reports to be fi led with the Federal Election Com-mission and two counts of exceeding campaign con-tribution limits.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan’s presidential rivals reached a deal Friday to form a unity government but remained divided over the results of a contentious runoff election, sources with knowledge of the talks said.

Terms of the agreement, reached after weeks of dif-fi cult negotiations, were not immediately disclosed. Until hours before the agreement, the candidates, Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai and Abdul-lah Abdullah, were tussling over the powers to be held by the new post of chief execu-

tive, created after U.S. Sec-retary of State John F. Ker-ry held talks with the rivals in Kabul this summer.

But aides to both Ghani Ahmadzai and Abdullah, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to dis-cuss the sensitive talks, said the two sides had not agreed on the results of a United Nations-supervised recount of all 8 million ballots cast in a June runoff, which was initiated after Abdullah alleged widespread fraud. The runoff followed a presi-dential election in April.

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton joined some of the most powerful women in Congress on Thursday to push for advances on afford-able child care, paid family leave and raising the mini-mum wage that could create greater economic progress for women.

Clinton, fresh off her campaign-style weekend visit to Iowa and her sum-mer-long book tour, used Thursday’s panel at the Cen-ter for American Progress to focus on issues that could form part of her domestic agenda should she run for president in 2016.

The Food and Drug Administration said Fri-day that it would revise a landmark food safety law because of widespread com-plaints from farmers that some provisions were too burdensome.

The agency is proposing relaxing some oversight

on irrigation water, allow-ing easier application of raw manure and exempting small farms from produce safety rules. It’s also elimi-nating a proposal that would have made it more diffi cult for brewers and distillers to give their spent grains to farmers for animal feed.

time Restoration Urban Min-istries approached Mayor Don Gerard about the proj-ect, according to Gerard.

Because the two lots, located at 410 W. Maple St. and 509 Alabama Ave., were too small for the city to use, Champaign donated the property to Restoration Urban Ministries.

“Rather than have us mow them, maintain them or whatever, we will sell them off to someone who’s going to put them to good use,” Gerard said.

Gerard has been working with Restoration Urban Min-istries throughout the plan-ning phase and said their passion is what led this proj-ect to completion.

“Pastor Williams, Roscoe and everybody at Restora-tion and all of the people they work with really put in a lot of time and effort into this,” Gerard said. “They real-ly believe in this, and their passion inspires me to keep momentum going from the city side.”

According to the Restora-tion Urban Ministries’s web-site, mini homes will cost

$27,000 with low monthly mortgage payments of $350 to $400 per month.

For Williams, this marks a milestone in Restoration Urban Ministries’s housing programs.

“They can have their name on a title and say ‘This is my home,’” Williams said. “It doesn’t matter about the size, but it’s about the owner-ship and feeling like you’re part of this.”

Residents of Restoration Urban Ministries’ transi-tional housing program are required to help out around the facility. The mini homes will be constructed with the help of volunteers.

Williams said they expect to complete the fi rst house by Nov. 11, and hope to con-struct upwards of 40 mini homes sometime next year. Once the resident is moved in, Restoration Urban Min-istries will continue to offer their services to help him or her adjust.

“It’s one thing to put the person in the house,” Brown said. “It’s another thing to help him along the way, to help him understand what it means to have a house.”

said Frost. “But at the same time, we’re very responsive to the community as well. If the community felt that it was necessary or perti-nent that offi cers wear those body cameras, we would certainly consider it.”

Deputy Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board Larry Smith said he believes making body cameras more accessible to police in Illinois could improve the relationship offi cers have with the public.

“I think that there is a strong probability that the deployment of these body cameras on street offi cers will go a long ways to alle-viating a lot of complaints against police offi cers and ... extreme or excessive use of force by offi cers,” Smith said. “These cameras will record what is happening from the offi cer’s point of view.”

Smith said that if the pro-posed amendment were to pass, the board, which pro-vides basic training curricu-lum for six police academies and 15 mobile in-service training units across the state, would likely make cur-riculum for the new camer-as available for their train-ees. However, Smith said, since the amendment has not yet passed, this could

be a long way away.The use of body camer-

as is still relatively new to law enforcement. In a recent survey by the Department of Justice’s Community Ori-ented Policing Services, 75 percent of the participating departments said they did not use body cameras.

Frost said that while the University Police Depart-ment already has modern patrol car cameras and has reviewed the technology of body cameras, they do not currently use them in the fi eld. The department does record audio and video dur-ing all of their traffi c stops.

“We are very well-sup-ported by the University, but at the same time if we tried to put a body camera on every single sworn offi -cer we had, that would be a pretty sizable price tag,” said Frost. “Right now, we’re just not in a position to do that.”

If the amendment to HB3911 passes and body cameras are made more readily available to Illinois law enforcement, Frost said that he would expect UIPD to talk about applying for a grant for the equipment.

“Certainly we would con-sider it, but we have to make sure the product is going to suit our needs and is going to be well received by the com-munity as well,” said Frost.

ner with Eastern Illinois Food Bank because they distribute to a wide audience and they have been great partners in the past,” Race said.

A nationwide study titled “Hunger in America” revealed that the food bank and its agencies serve more than 116,000 people in Cen-tral Illinois each year, said Kristen Costello, develop-ment relations manager at the food bank.

“That’s an unduplicated number, so we’re serving about a fi fth of the popula-tion,” Costello said.

All canned goods will be collected on Sept. 29 at Anni-versary Plaza near the Illini Union and in the SDRP lob-by in the Ikenberry Com-mons from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m .

The week prior serves to pro-mote and educate individuals of the event.

According to Race, the Quad Shop in the Illini Union and I-57 in the Ikenberry Commons will run specials to encourage students and members of the campus com-munity to contribute to the food drive.

“Contributions from Cans Across the Quad can make a difference in so many lives. One meal can keep hope alive or help someone make it to their next paycheck,” said Okazaki. “I think we see the issue of hunger in the world and feel a sense of hopeless-ness, but what we don’t real-ize is how signifi cant our con-tribution is to even that one person we helped feed.”

WASHINGTON — The president of Ukraine came to Washington Thursday seeking special ally status and lethal aid to fi ght the Russians. He walked away with neither but declared he was happy to get what he did get, new non-lethal aid. Poroshenko earlier told a joint session of Congress that failing to stop Russian President Vladimir Putin could put all of Europe at risk but pledged to stand as

a bulwark. The White House has resisted escalating the confl ict with Russia by pro-viding arms, calling instead for the crisis to be resolved diplomatically. Obama did pledge $53 million in new aid, including $46 million in military aid and $7 million in humanitarian aid. The aid includes body armor, helmets, vehicles, night- and thermal-vision devices and, for the fi rst time, coun-ter-mortar radar equipment that can warn of incoming artillery fi re.

I t’s very rare and exciting event when a nation votes for independence. Early on

Friday morning (or late on Thursday night, if you’re like me), Anglophiles all over the world waited with bated breath to see if Scotland would join the ranks of nations to secede from the Queen’s rule.

Of course, once the polls were closed and the results were tallied, Scotland had vot-ed against independence from the United Kingdom — a deci-sion that was probably for the best, though I don’t purport to be an expert on politics across the pond.

While Scotland may not have been able to achieve indepen-dence as a nation this time around (rejected for the third time since 1979), my visit to the country taught me more than I’d ever known about being per-sonally independent.

Last year, I got to spend six months in London studying Classics. My university was rigorous, and adjusting to Eng-lish culture and the different higher education system cer-tainly added to its difficulty. One week, when I had a surplus

of free time and was procras-tinating addressing a stress-ful exam schedule, I decided to buy a ticket to Scotland. I had visions of Harry Potter-esque mountains and fields, and when I set out for the High-lands (what the Scottish call “mountains”) the next day at 5:30 a.m. I was definitely not disappointed.

I think Scotland is one of the best nations in the world. It’s beautiful and majestic, it offers free education to all of its citizens, and Braveheart was filmed there.

Sure, it’s really gray and rains all the time, but even that can be endearing after one spends a little time in the Highlands. Sometimes you just need to see nature, and Scot-land provided a fantastic break from the frenetic facets of Lon-don city life.

Over the next five days, I spent my time walking 96 miles through the Highlands. Initially, it was exhausting and daunting — I was completely alone, and as if the experience of studying abroad wasn’t scary enough, this was extreme soli-tude in a very remote part of the United Kingdom. I walked through countless hours of rain, encountered more sheep than people and, most importantly, learned more about myself than I ever knew was possible.

I know that’s a cliche, but

until one experiences it, it’s hard to really grasp how legit-imate that self-awareness is.

I didn’t think I would come out alive, but I wanted to take this walk by myself just to say that I could. At first, I was only going to hike ten miles and turn back. Ten became twenty, twen-ty became forty, and before I knew it, I had made it from the Highlands to Glasgow, all by myself.

Even better than this, howev-er, I returned to London with a calmer mind-set than I’d previ-ously had, and found the tran-sition to English culture from then on even easier because I was more confident in myself.

Now that I’m back in the Unit-ed States, I don’t have a Scot-land to retreat to. I can’t go to the mountains and hike for days on end without any repercus-sions and, most importantly, I no longer see sheep on a regu-lar basis.

With that being said, howev-er, one explicit thing my expe-rience in Scotland taught me is the importance of solitary time to relax, which is valuable for everyone, especially students.

With midterms looming, I’m sure many students here at the University could use some time to focus, but feel suffocat-ed by academic and extracur-ricular commitments. I’m not an expert on Scottish politics, and I’m also not a professional

advice-giver, but I can almost guarantee that if students took more time to focus and gather their thoughts separate from other people and other commit-ments, nearly everyone would be better off.

I don’t mean to sound like your mom, who thinks you spend too much time on your phone when you’re home vis-iting, or your professor, who thinks you should hit the library instead of KAMs before an exam, but detaching from the hectic pace of our contempo-rary college environment is valuable.

Whether it be school, clubs or even social interaction, detach-ing from responsibility truly allows us to learn more about ourselves, and in turn, have more confidence in everything that we do.

Nothing can really compare to halting studying for exams to take a train up to the High-lands; I can’t do that any more. What I, and all of us, can do, however, is go on a walk on the beautiful brick-paved streets of Urbana and conveniently for-get our phones at home, perhaps catching at least a hint of what it feels like to relax and focus. I guess that’s kind of the same thing, right?

Police body cams may

promote better interactions WHERE THE FANS AT?

While our Illini football team beat Texas State this weekend with a final score of 42-35, the win did not come without a rough beginning and an even rougher weather delay. After a rainstorm rolled through and delayed the game for nearly two hours, the return-ing crowd was not in full force, even after fans were allowed back into the game for free, with or without a ticket. Unfortunately, that generous offer didn’t lead to a full Memorial Stadium swimming with Illi-ni orange. Whether the weak crowd was a result of weather conditions or a bout of frustration over the team’s first half performance, we hope to never see a crowd like that again.

IT’S ON USPresident Obama kicked off the “It’s On Us” cam-

paign Friday at the White House. Finally. The cam-paign, which aims to change the culture surround-ing sexual assault on college campuses, is designed to emphasize the role people play in ceasing and preventing campus violence. It seems like every group reports the number of those who have suffered assault differently. Regardless of what the current number of those who have been assaulted is, we can and should reduce it. Education should never cost one his or her safety.

DRUG ALLEGATIONS FOR UW-M TKES The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity on the University

of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s campus was suspended on an interim basis on Thursday pending investigations that its members were giving female students date rape drugs at one of its parties. Even more despi-cably, the alleged drugging seemed to have been systematic. Upon entrance, men were given black marks on their hand, while select females were giv-en red. Multiple women who attended the party and were given red marks required assistance, as did a man who drank from a female who had been given a red X’s cup.

SAY CHEESEThe celebrity photo scandal continues with Van-

essa Hudgens, Kim Kardashian and Avril Lavigne among the new targets. These ladies, along with a few other celebs, had their nude or racy photos leaked on Reddit and Twitter on Saturday. This is after the scandal earlier this month where several other female celebrities, such as Jennifer Lawrence, had their nude photos leaked as well. While we feel for these ladies and the invasive nature of these inci-dences, it just goes to show you can’t always trust technology!

Q U I C K COMMENTARY

What Scotland taught me about independence

If you read my column last week, you met my room-mate, Molly. While I could

tell you facts I knew about her before we moved in together, I found out the most important thing about her last Tuesday. She can’t swallow pills any big-ger than jellybeans.

Like I said, I didn’t know this last Tuesday when I was about to leave for my class. I thought she was joking when she hurdled down our stairs, motioning to her reddening face after taking an antibiotic. Before I knew it, I was giving the Heimlich maneuver for the first time in my life, not sure what to do. I was absolutely terrified — and I wasn’t even the one who was choking. Lucky for us, our other roommate is CPR-certified, and Molly ended up per-fectly fine — albeit late for class with a sore throat.

That morning, I realized the importance of knowing how to immediately respond to emer-gencies, as well as how little many students, myself included, know about acting in dire situa-tions. There are several aspects of emergency preparedness that many students aren’t exposed to until they need to act, which can be too late. If an emergency occurs and we don’t know how

to respond, it can be a life or death situation.

There are many catastrophes that occur daily, from natural disasters to health emergencies and crime. It’s absurd that the only time our professors “pre-pare” us for these events is a PowerPoint slide or a sentence during syllabus week to get the precautions out of the way about which exit to use during a fire. And even that does not always happen.

Students can register to be apart of the Illini Emergency Medical Services, which certi-fies students as emergency med-ical technicians to learn these necessary skills, but we could use something tailored toward the average student with more versatility in its lessons.

One way to solve emergency ignorance is creating a first semester seminar mandatory for incoming freshmen span-ning a variety of topics.

Here are lessons that could, and should, be covered:

1. The Heimlich maneuver and seizure response: You don’t have to be certified to administer the Heimlich maneuver, which is a fairly simple thrust. However, there are important things that the person giving the Heimlich might not be aware of that they should be doing, such as telling the choker to keep coughing. Also, after news of a student having a seizure in a class this year exploded on Yik-Yak,

people expressed concern over proper care. Knowing what to do when someone seizes in front of you is also critical (holding the head or neck is a big no-no).

2. “Run, Fight or Hide”: I know of many classes this semester in which professors explained what these steps were, but personally, my professors joked about the components. Professors joking over the seriousness of “Run, Fight, or Hide” as a response to a potential shooting doesn’t prepare us for if we ever have to face that situation. It teaches students that it isn’t a serious concern. This lesson should be spread in a serious environment, alleviating professor responsibility to spread one consistent and safe message.

3. School shooting preparation: This piggybacks on “Run,

Fight or Hide,” but begs a more specialized focus. Many of us went through lockdown drills in high school but this beast takes on a whole new meaning on a scattered campus. Shoot-ings and other forms of violence happen too frequently for us to not be informed of what we should do. Procedures might switch whether we’re in a hous-ing unit, classroom, outdoors or a communal campus area like the Union. It’s crucial for us to be prepared in all of those are-nas of campus.

4.Fire safety:This might sound redundant

as most of us learned stop, drop and roll techniques in elementary school. But if knowing this three step children’s rule is the extent of your ability to react to a fire, then there’s a lot you’re missing — especially since this method only works if your clothing is on fire. This safety seminar can encompass knowledge on what to do depending on your surroundings, seeing as fires in housing units are most common between 5-11 p.m. and on weekends, which are times that tend to be highly concentrated with people.

These guidelines should be expanded to teach a variety of emergency skills. They don’t include everything we need to know, but this is a safe place for the University to start.

Being oblivious when Mol-ly choked was one of the most unsettling feelings I’ve experi-enced. As serious as choking is, I can’t even fathom how petrified students would feel in the case of a fire or shooting, which we seem to be less prepared for. By a lucky guess, we saved Molly — but not everyone is this fortunate.

All of us would rather be safe than sorry, especially when “sor-ry” can end lives, so let’s keep our students safe, no matter what hands they’re in.

Emergency preparation should be mandatory for students

T he relationship be-tween citizens and cops has not always been a good one, es-pecially as of late.

In national news, we have seen the case of Ferguson, Missouri, in which many peo-ple are still rightfully upset and debating what actually transpired between teenag-er Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson, when Brown was shot and killed.

Closer to home in Cham-paign-Urbana, we saw a situa-tion of a lesser magnitude last April that involved an Illinois basketball player, Darius Paul, who was arrested for resisting a police officer and underage consumption of alcohol.

But the details of the crime seemed a tad unclear to us due to the fact that Paul was initial-ly addressed by police because of the time of night, and some others questioned the fairness of his arrest.

These are only two exam-ples of something that tran-spires far too often in our country — a classic case of he-said, she-said between citi-zens and police officers. How-ever, if police officers in the state of Illinois wear body cameras, we believe that some of these murky encounters between police officers and community members can be avoided.

Two state lawmakers, Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth, D-Peo-ria, and Sen. William Haine, D-Alton, are looking to raise money for police body cams, which they believe will limit some of the questions and con-fusion that arise with some of the encounters with citizens. This is something we support.

The two lawmakers are pushing for an amendment to a bill that would add “a $6 surcharge to fines for traffic offenses and for convictions or guilty pleas for criminal of-fenses”, which would rake in an estimated $5 million to $6 million, some of which would be used for grants for police cameras.

We believe these body cams would be immensely benefi-cial because they would pro-vide a way to hold police of-ficers more accountable for their actions and hopefully promote stronger and saf-er interactions between po-lice officers and citizens. At the same time, these camer-as would provide clear proof of any in-question exchange between a community mem-ber and an officer which, ide-ally, would allow for cases to get settled more efficiently with fewer questions left un-answered.

A letter from the executive director of the Police Execu-tive Research Forum indicates that departments that have already implemented these body cams say the presence of the camera often improves the performance of the cop as well as the recorded commu-nity member, which we assur-edly approve of.

There are certainly con-cerns over citizens’ privacy, which have been outlined in the amended bill, and not ev-eryone believes these body cams are ideal. Additionally, the usage of these cameras would need to be monitored in different ways.

However, they have proved necessary, particularly in the last several years, to restore trust and order between those who are supposed to be pro-tecting us and those who do not feel protected.

Book charity celebrates 10-year goal, reaching 100,000 books donatedBY BRITTNEY NADLERSTAFF WRITER

Ur b a n a - C h a mp a i g n Books to Prisoners, a non-profi t organization dedi-cated to shipping books to inmates, will have sent 100,000 books by the end of the year.

“It’s not even the middle of September, and we’ve already shipped 99,000 books before the dinner even happened, so we’re really excited about that,” said Lolita Dumas, vol-unteer supervisor for the organization.

In celebration of the 10-year goal, the organiza-tion hosted a dinner at the Independent Media Center in Urbana on Saturday for the public as a way of thank-ing the community and past, present and future volun-teers, Dumas said.

The group services 27 prisons and federal institu-tions throughout the state and also checks out books at the Champaign Coun-ty Jail. Only about 15 of

these institutions have libraries of their own.

“We’ll ask them, ‘Hey, have you read this book?’ or, ‘I heard this book was really good,’ ” Dumas said. “Or, ‘Hey, one of your books is missing pages!’ ”

Inmates also send in poems and artwork that the organization displays. Todd Nickelson has been volun-teering for Books to Pris-oners for fi ve years and said he is happy to be involved in such a good program.

“I think this fi lls a pretty necessary void,” he said. “It provides a really valuable service and there’s nothing else that replicates it.”

Nickelson has received requests for a variety of books, such as books written in Polish. He said sometimes they have exactly what the inmate is looking for while other requests can be trick-ier to fulfi ll.

Luis Postlewaite has been with the group for seven months and was once on the other end of the bargain.

“I was in the department of correction at one time, and I needed something to read,” he said. “It’s a good program ... I’m looking forward to 10 years of doing this.”

Postlewaite used to request math books and dic-tionaries in order to study for the GED.

For now, Books to Pris-oners is looking forward to its fall book sale, co-spon-sored by the literacy orga-nization Altrusa, on Oct. 25 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Independent Media Center, Dumas said.

Books are donated by the community and will cost 50 cents for paperback and $1 for hardback.

“They enjoy it,” Dumas said of the inmates. “Every other letter, there’s someone thanking us for being here, so we appreciate that. We just want to continue to be able to do what we do.”

hours each day. In order to get the statistics from the bars, the Zondr team goes out each night and surveys the bars to give users the female-to-male ratio and other features of the app.

Overall, the Zondr team has over 20 people that contribute to either their marketing, operations or development teams.

Maguire said he agrees with Naso that it is a great feeling to see hard work pay off.

“It’s been motiva-tional to see cross-campus(reactions),” Magu-ire said. “Everyone knows about it. ... Being able to see something you’ve been a part of motivates you to keep it going and to stick with it.”

Zhao said he knows that Zondr is not a convention-al name.

The name stems from the word “sonder,” accord-

ing to Zhao, which means the realization that every-one on the planet has dif-ferent lives and that their lives connect with your own .

“Zondr connects people in ways people can’t with-out smartphones. It’s one of the first ways to do that on campus,” Zhao said.

Chris Norton, general manager of Brother’s, said he supports the Zondr app and team, but was skep-tical at first when Zhao approached him about being a part of the app.

“I was a little skepti-cal. But even just the first night (it launched) I saw how it made people get out of their comfort zones and go to bars they don’t go to normally,” he said.

Norton said he also appreciates the app because it makes going out more predictable and consistent.

While the app has made students all over campus check their phones each night before they go out,

the team said it is still looking to improve the app for the future.

“We’re constantly brain-storming and adding new features. We want to enhance social life and connect students,” Zhao said.

Naso explained that the team can put in up to sev-en hours of brainstorming into one day.

“We’d love users to tell us what they want, besides wanting to know how long the Chipotle line is,” Naso said jokingly.

Zhao’s goals are for oth-er bars outside of campus to start using Zondr . He also said they are consider-ing the possibility of devel-oping new apps.

When it comes down to what the team wants out of Zondr, Maguire summed it up with one sentence.

“We want it on every-one’s phone.”

Entrepreneurship dropping steadily for over three decadesBY WALTER HAMILTONMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

For years, Christina Marshall was con-vinced she would start her own company. She studied entrepreneurship with the hope of launching a clothing company for full-fi gured women. But after graduating two years ago, the 31-year-old chose a more conventional career as a brand manager at Kraft Foods in Chicago.

The image of the U.S. as a country burst-ing with entrepreneurial zeal, it turns out, is more myth than reality. In truth, the rate at which new companies are being formed has fallen steadily for more than three decades.

The number of startups has fallen nearly 28 percent from 1977 to 2011, according to the Census Bureau. By other measures — as a share of all businesses or relative to the size of the working-age population — it has fallen in half. Many factors appear to be contributing to the trend, including increased risk aversion among workers, shifts in government regulation and a con-solidation in corporate America that has left many industries dominated by a hand-ful of behemoths.

Some experts said the picture isn’t as bleak as the numbers suggest.

Enrollment in college entrepreneurship programs is strong, and some surveys show many millennials plan to start businesses eventually.

Marshall, for one, still dreams of start-ing a business, but probably when she can meet such challenges as the upfront costs and the need to support her family.

The prime age for entrepreneurship is late 30s to early 40s, suggesting that a burst of activity may lie ahead as the huge mil-lennial generation reaches that age range.

For baby boomers, business formation has accelerated. People ages 55 to 64 start-

ed 23.4 percent of new companies in 2013, up from 14.3 percent in 1996, according to Fairlie. Part of that stems from some older workers going out on their own after being laid off and unable to fi nd suitable work.

Still, a range of data underscores the decrease in entrepreneurial activity.

Measured relative to the size of the work-ing-age population, the number of start-ups dropped 53 percent from 1977 to 2010, according to the New America Foundation.

LIFE CULTURE

BY MARA SHAPIROSTAFF WRITER

A variety of venues make up campus nightlife in Champaign-Urbana. From beer gardens to the sticky floors of KAM’S, there are numerous ways for students to unwind after another school week.

But within three weeks

of its launch, some students have begun to welcome a new app, Zondr, to their phones’ home screens.

Approximately 15 per-cent of University students use the app on their smart-phones, according to Mike Maguire, one of the devel-opers of the app and senior in Engineering.

Bar goers know that each bar brings with it a unique feel and could be a hit or miss, depending on the night, said John Zhao, founder of Zondr and alum-ni in Engineering.

Zhao said he knew the hit or miss feeling all too well

when he was an undergrad last year.

“It started based off of frustrations (with) bars. We’d go to Brother’s and the line would be huge, or we’d pay cover and see no one’s inside. We either wasted money or time. The bars weren’t as fun as they could be and we thought ‘there should be an app for that,’ and (we) then started development last year.”

Along with Kirk Wells, senior in Business, Zhao developed the newly estab-lished app.

Zondr is a free, down-loadable app that keeps

students updated on the bars’ activity each night. The app’s features include cover prices, how full the bars are to capacity, bar specials and female-to-male ratios.

Based off of Wells and Zhao’s knowledge of Ado-be Photoshop, they came up with a rough design of the app, and then searched for Android and iOS develop-ers to assist in the process of making it.

The two students began planning out Zondr dur-ing the fall semester of 2013 and fi nished the pho-toshopped design over the

summer. At the start of the semester, Wells and Zhao recruited more members for their team and launched the app.

Besides Zhao and Wells, the team’s developers are Maguire, Charlie Naso, senior in Media, and Bro-dy Schofi eld, sophomore in Engineering, all of whom joined at the beginning of the school year.

Zhao said while he knew Schofi eld from his engi-neering fraternity, Sigma Phi Delta, he put out the word for applying to be a part of the team through social media as well as

through the app.Naso said he is impressed

with the app’s success so far, as it has become rela-tively popular on campus in its three short weeks here.

“We’re not really push-ing it right now. It spreads like fi re,” he said. “Friends show friends. It’s a cool feeling to see how suc-cessful it is. The sky’s the limit when I see that on the streets every night.”

The team uses Google Analytics to gauge how many people use the app per day and for how many

Self defense: plans and strategies to avoid danger and stay protected on UI campus

Sergeant William Smoot recommends:

• Locking doors• Being aware of surroundings• Looking suspicious people in the eye to let them know they can potentially be identified• Calling 911 if someone may be following you• Walking in groups if possible

Sergeant Joan Fiesta recommends:

• Women can sign up for Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) and learn how to: • Avoid areas criminals may choose to commit crimes • Use verbal defense • Increase the speed of motor skills• Men can sign up for Resisting Aggression with Defense (R.A.D.) and learn how to: • Defend without fighting • Avoid aggressive situations • Use physical skills like blocks and strikes

BY TAYLOR LUCEROSTAFF WRITER

With a campus of more than 43,000 students, the number of reported crimes are higher on campus compared to off-campus locations, according to the most recent Division of Public Safety’s Annual Security Report .

Whether walking out alone at night or facing a threatening person, students on campus can use preventative action to avoid potentially dangerous situations. When an emergency cannot be prevent-ed, self-defense techniques can be used as a last resort.

Preventative Defense“When it comes to an edu-

cational standpoint, I think a lot of people, because of television, they kind of think that they need a weap-on to get away from some-body,” said Joan Fiesta, Uni-versity police sergeant.

Fiesta said the Division of Public Safety provides self-defense classes, which discuss the importance of awareness. Awareness, according to Fiesta, pro-vides a person with the abil-ity to avoid possibly threat-ening situations.

“(A)wareness is about 90 percent of self defense,” she said.

The Division of Pub-lic Safety offers a self-

defense class for both men and women, called R.A.D, standing for Rape Aggres-sion Defense system .

Fiesta said the women’s class, “Rape Aggression Defense ,” teaches preventa-tive skills like how to avoid places where a crime may likely be committed, verbal defense and techniques to increase motor skills.

The men’s class, “Resist-ing Aggression with Defense ,” teaches men techniques like defending themselves without needing to fi ght through body lan-guage, avoiding aggressive situations and other skills like blocking and stopping tackles.

Looking a suspicious

person in the eye can help prevent being attacked as well, according to William Smoot, University police sergeant. This makes the suspect aware that the per-son could identify them if needed.

“If you’re a criminal and you’re trying to steal something from somebody, the best victim is one who doesn’t even realize you’re in the zip code,” Smoot said.

However, students may become the victim of crimes of a different type. For other crime preven-tion, Smoot said situations like theft can be avoided by something as simple as keeping doors locked at all times.

Pepper Spray Use

According to Robert Murphy, University police detective, items like pepper spray have both benefi ts and disadvantages.

Murphy recalled a night when he was accidently sprayed with pepper spray. Along with his sergeant, Murphy was pursuing and closing in on a suspect, but the sergeant used pepper spray and hit both Murphy and the suspect.

“It worked instantly on me,” he said. “The bad guy got in his car and drove away, and we caught him a couple blocks down the road

where the pepper spray fi nally kicked in.”

Murphy, who is in the crime prevention unit, said pepper spray could be used to distract an assailant, but will not save a person’s life.

Instead, it gives the person using it the opportunity to escape. To be effective, it needs to hit the assailant directly in the eyes.

“If you’re in panic mode, can you get it out of your purse or get it out of your pocket ... point it in the right direction and spray the person?” Murphy asked.

Murphy said that pepper

spray can still be useful. One such advantage is that there are pepper spray’s available that have a band, allowing people to hold it in their hands while walking and making the weapon face the right direction.

However, Murphy said the person using it may still feel effects of the spray his or herself.

He said he also recommended pepper spray that cannot accidently be pressed if in a backpack or purse and includes a piece on top that allows people holding it to know where to place their fi ngers.

Active Shooter Response During an emergency

like an active shooter on campus, other important techniques may be used.

R ach ael A h a r t , University police offi cer, said that out of the government programs available to learn about these situations, “Run>Hide>Fight ” is one of the top programs for students.

Ahart said if students are in an active-shooter situation in a room, they should secure themselves by locking the door, pushing

furniture in the way if the room does not lock, and possibly hiding in a closet in order to have barriers between themselves and the shooter.

“If it comes down to it where this person is coming into whatever room you’re in and they have a gun of some sort and they start shooting, then that’s the time where you have to make the decision if you want to try and fi ght or if you want to try and hide,” she said.

For those who choose to fi ght, Ahart said that

a person can get close to the doorway to disarm or attack the shooter when he enters the room. Some recommended weapons from the Division’s “Run>Hide>Fight” video include belts, glass bottles, hot coffee, scissors, pens, chairs and fire extinguishers.

“Active shooters, unfortunately, are not likely to stop shooting until they’re either out of targets or out of ammo, and generally speaking, they don’t run out of ammo,” Ahart said.

SPORTS1BMONDAY

BY SEAN NEUMANNSTAFF WRITER In three plays, the Illini football team began to save itself from a devastating loss to Texas State on Saturday.

It was a dark first half for Illinois (3-1), which allowed nearly 300 total yards on defense. The Bobcats took a score of 21-13 into the half after the Illini allowed eight Texas State third down con-versions and 17 first downs.

The team’s dismal perfor-mance in the first half last-ed even longer than the Illini hoped after a lightning delay stopped the game for nearly two hours.

“It wasn’t pretty,” head coach Tim Beckman said. “I’m getting a lot of gray hairs playing these games.”

But the storm cleared, the second half began, and Illi-nois made another second-half comeback to win 42-35 and finish nonconference play with three victories.

It started with a sack. Illinois’ defensive line was

one of the few bright spots for the defense Saturday.

The Illini defense allowed Bobcats quarterback Tyler Jones 336 yards through the air for four touchdowns.

“They have a unique offense,” Illini defensive coordinator Tim Banks said. “Their quarterback is a really good player and their running back was prob-ably a little bit better than we anticipated.”

Texas State running back Robert Lowe had 117 rushing yards on 26 attempts.

The Illini trailed 21-13 and Texas State was faced with another third down early in the second half when Illinois linemen Jihad Ward and Aus-tin Teitsma sacked Jones for a 10-yard loss, forcing a Tex-as State punt.

It was Illinois’ fourth sack of the day. And the most important for the team’s momentum starting

the second half.“(The sacks) were big,”

Teitsma said. “That’s some-thing we’ve been wanting to work on, especially since last year.”

Then came the return.Illini returner V’Angelo

Bentley has been looking to make a big play on special teams all season. While his fourth quarter interception return for a touchdown might be his best moment from Sat-urday, his return game made a large impact after the sack.

When a 54-yard punt land-ed in Bentley’s arms, he immediately split the Bob-cats coverage, returned the punt 40 yards and gave Illi-nois the momentum.

The return set up the Illi-ni offense on the Bobcats’ 33-yard line, giving Illi-ni quarterback Wes Lunt an opportunity to make his first impact through the air — he had just six comple-tions on 12 passing attempts

in the first half.“We weren’t doing the

things we were practicing,” Lunt said. “We just kind of regrouped and got back together.”

Ferguson’s touchdown.The Illini running backs

accounted for four touch-downs Saturday (three rush-ing, one receiving), but Fer-guson’s 33-yard touchdown reception early in the third quarter awakened the Illini.

“That brought us back into the game,” Ferguson said. “We weren’t playing up to par after the first touch-down and we came out and fixed it.”

Lunt’s performance came late. The Illini sophomore completed 25 passes for 266 yards in the game, but had just three yards on two com-pletions before the weather delay.

“It was frustrating,” offen-

BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

The Illinois football team didn’t go into the locker room during Saturday’s weather delay and immediately begin talking over what was going wrong. Players and coaches didn’t head over to the indoor facility next door and start going over plays.

Instead, the team turned up the music, watched some football and maintained the relaxation that would carry Illinois to a 42-35 win over Texas State.

According to head coach Tim Beckman, the team used most of the break as down-time. It was only in the last 30 minutes that the team finally re-gathered and talk-ed about adjustments.

“It’s frustrating, but I think it’s the best thing that could have happened to us,” said quarterback Wes Lunt, who experienced a similar situation when he played at

Oklahoma State. “We went over all the stuff on how we’re beating ourselves, we weren’t doing the things we’ve been practicing. Just regrouped and got back together.”

As thunderstorms moved into the area, the delay evac-uated Memorial Stadium and kept it empty for almost two hours.

At 3:55 p.m., lightning postponed the game. Team members headed to the lock-er rooms, while fans were told to seek shelter and con-sequently crowded the halls beneath the stands.

At 5:50 p.m., players final-ly ran back onto the field, greeted by an empty stadi-um and fireworks. Fans fol-lowed, slowly trickling back into the stands.

The game went on.After that weather delay,

Illinois put 36 points on the board.

Before the weather delay, Illinois had only 93 total offensive yards, including Josh Ferguson’s opening 75-yard touchdown. But the Illini would go on to grab

What a weird day. The game itself wasn’t so odd, but a one-

hour, 56-minute weather delay Saturday made Illi-nois’ game with Texas State feel like something of a spectacle.

Rather than watching Illi-ni football struggle to over-come a lesser opponent, we got to watch Illini football struggle to overcome a less-er opponent with a lightning show halfway through it.

Illinois massively under-performed in the first quar-ter. Then the game was delayed by lightening at the 13:35 mark of the second quarter. The Illini trailed Texas State 14-6 at the time and — other than a 75-yard touchdown run from Josh

Ferguson — had done next to nothing offensively.

As rain poured onto the turf at Memorial Stadium, I wondered how the Illini would react. What does a football player do during a nearly two-hour rain delay? This isn’t baseball, where this sort of thing happens much more frequently.

During the delay, I ate pretzels and tweeted about the rain, but I didn’t have to stay loose for a football game.

Head coach Tim Beck-man said he put a plan in place a few weeks ago. His orders: turn on the TV, turn up the music and relax. Nose tackle Austin Teitsma said he flipped on the Ala-bama’s game against Flor-ida and hung out with his teammates.

The two-hour ordeal didn’t feel nearly that long for the players.

“That’s how long it was?” cornerback V’Angelo Bent-

ley said after the game. It felt long to me and I’m

sure it did for all the fans who went running for cover as the downpour fell. But for Illinois, it was almost like an early halftime.

The Illini have been sig-nificantly better in the sec-ond half of games than in the first half. Saturday’s weather delay might have confused the players into thinking it was the second half.

I would say Illinois responded well. Texas State added another score after the delay, but the Illinois offense responded with a quick touchdown drive just before the half. The second half was far from pretty, but Beckman’s team held on for the 42-35 win.

It’s hard to know what to make of Illinois’ 3-1 record. The Illini are halfway to a bowl game, but it has not

In the final test before the grind of Big Ten play begins, the Illinois volleyball team closed out the non-conference season on a high note.

While the Illini had dips in ener-gy this weekend at the Creighton Classic, they were still able to get results.

The Illini (8-3) completed their second perfect weekend of the sea-son with three consecutive victories to take home the Creighton Classic title. Freshman libero Brandi Don-nelly was named tournament MVP, while Liz McMahon and Katie Sta-dick were each named to the All-Tournament team.

Donnelly had 59 digs and just three errors when receiving serves over the weekend.

“I think she was the most consis-tent of everybody,” head coach Kev-in Hambly said. “She didn’t have a poor match in any of them.”

McMahon was second on the team with 33 kills on the weekend, hitting .256 overall.

Stadick had a career day against Colorado on Saturday morning. The sophomore posted new career-highs

in kills, total blocks and attempts, with 20 attempts and eight each of kills and total blocks.

“It’s cool to see her get a lot of opportunities offensively,” McMa-hon said. “Lately, teams have been committing and trapping the mid-dles so they haven’t been able to get a lot offensively, but this weekend the setters did a good job of getting to them.”

Matches against Creighton and Colorado were both four-set affairs, something Illinois hadn’t yet expe-rienced this season. Coming into the weekend, the Illini were 5-1 in three-set matches and 0-2 in five sets. Against the Buffs and Blue-jays, the Illini quickly jumped out to a 2-0 lead before dropping the third set.

Prior to this weekend, Illinois had experienced a letdown against Vir-ginia Tech, where they led with a chance to close out the match only to lose in five sets.

“I wouldn’t make a big issue of it until we don’t finish it,” Ham-bly said. “I think the girls are working through what they need to do during the break. That’s part of the learning process,

every team is different.”McMahon thought it was impor-

tant to show the team could come back after a lull in performance and earn a victory, not once, but twice.

“We kind of backed off a little bit,” the senior said. “It was really good to see us (close it out). They were coming at us pretty hard Fri-day night and it was a tough fourth set.

“It was good to see us put away a team in four and not have it extend to five.”

It was a battle of undefeated teams on the weekend in the fina-le when Illinois faced South Dako-ta. There would be no third set let-down in this one, however. The Illini were able to pull out a 25-22 win in the third set to complete the week-end sweep.

“They’re legit. I thought they were the toughest team to close out,” Hambly said. “They weren’t afraid of us or anybody. I thought we did a good job overcoming their push and winning the set.”

SEPTEMBER 15-OCTOBER 4

What are the facts?ISIS, the latest, most brutal and militarily

successful Islamist terror group, grew as an offshootof al Qaeda in Syria. The group now controls hugeswaths of territory in Syria and Iraq, massive stores ofarmaments, some 15,000 soldiers and billions ofdollars in assets. ISIS’s avowed goal is to create anIslamic caliphate—empire—consisting of land itperceives to belong toIslam, including most ofthe Middle East, NorthAfrica and Spain. Inrecent months ISIS hasslaughtered—in manycases beheaded—thousands of innocent Christians, Yazidis and ShiiteMuslims, whom the group considers apostates toIslam. ISIS’s bloody conquest has been virtuallyunimpeded by Syrian and Iraqi armies and ignored byWestern nations, despite the group’s warning to theU.S. that “we will drown you in blood.” Indeed, U.S.intelligence affirms that ISIS’s long-term goal is toattack America and the West.

Likewise, Hamas, a terrorist Palestinian splintergroup of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, has killedhundreds of innocent Israelis through suicide bombsand launched more than 13,000 rockets aimed atIsraeli civilians from Gaza. It has also abducted andmurdered Israeli children. Since Hamas violentlyseized control of Gaza in 2007, it has ruled with aniron Islamist hand, imposing strict sharia religiouslaw, crushing civil rights and driving Christian Arabsout by the thousands. Hamas’s charter states its goalis to conquer the entire Holy Land and kill all itsJews. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has proclaimedthat “we love death like our enemies love life.” Nowonder then, that the group readily sacrificedthousands of its own people by using them as humanshields in its war on Israel.

Other Islamist terror groups, such as al Qaeda, withcells throughout the Middle East and Africa, andBoko Haram in Nigeria, use equally bloodthirstytactics in their jihad to expel foreign influences from“Muslim lands” and create a worldwide caliphate. AlQaeda, of course, engineered the 9/11 attacks, the2005 London subway bombings and hundreds of

other terrorist acts, killing thousands of innocentcivilians. Boko Haram has distinguished itself bymurdering some 5,000 citizens, including 2,000 in2014 alone, kidnapping 300 Christian schoolgirls anddriving 650,000 Nigerians from their homes.

What Can Be Done? Islamist terror groups areclearly ascendant, increasing their carnage andinfluence daily and increasingly threatening Middle

Eastern nations,Western Europe, and theU.S. Indeed, AmericanSecretary of State Kerrycalled ISIS a force of“ugly, savage,inexplicable, nihilisticand valueless evil.”

Likewise, British Prime Minister David Cameron hascalled Hamas’s intentional attacks on Israeli civilians“barbaric.” Comparable adjectives have been used todescribe the ruthless and fanatical brutality of alQaeda and Boko Haram.

While most of the world’s nations agree that theglobal Islamist jihad must be stopped, itsperpetrators have implacably refused to surrender ornegotiate a peace. All remain unconditionallycommitted to the defeat of Islam’s “infidel” enemiesand colonizing their lands. Even Hamas in its recentconflict with Israel broke all 11 ceasefire agreements,rendering peace talks impossible and subjectingPalestinian citizens to more suffering.

While no Western nation seeks another war in theMiddle East or Africa, we must ask how long theseterrorist aggressors should be permitted to kill andexpel civilian populations and conquer others’territories. Indeed, since these groups show no signsof relenting their murderous terror campaigns,responsible Western nations, led by the United States,should consider urgent action for stopping them.While Israel is helping to fight Hamas—in fact iscompelled to do so since Hamas attacks its citizensdaily—Israel cannot hold back the jihadi tide byitself. It needs the unalloyed support of the West forits fight. But even more, the world needs Westernnations to defeat the global jihad . . . before theseterror groups swallow more territory, enslave morepeople and strike our homeland once again.

ISIS, Hamas and the Black Flag of Global Jihad

How dangerous is global jihad to the U.S., Israel and the rest of the world—and how should we deal with this threat?

Terrorist groups ISIS (the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), Hamas, al Qaeda and Boko Haram have in commontheir disdain for Western values, their murderous disregard for human life and their goals of conquering vast landsin the name of Islam. Because they consider jihad a divine mission, they refuse to surrender or negotiate peace.

Global jihadi groups—ISIS, Hamas, al Qaeda and Boko Haram—share the same oppressive Islamist ideology,the same drive to conquer others’ lands and people, the same barbaric tactics and disrespect for human life,and they raise the same increasingly dire threat to the U.S. and our allies. Isn’t it time for a U.S.-led coalitionto oppose the black flag of jihad with moral determination, courage and all necessary force?

392 yards after the delay.“We really tightened up,”

defensive tackle Austin Teitsma said. “We had a lot more excitement. I thought we were a little all over the place in the beginning. You get a little crazy when you have your jitterbugs going on. But I thought we tight-

ened up and we did the stuff we were supposed to. There’s stuff we need to work on, but we pulled it off.”

Teitsma, who had never been in a weather delay sit-uation, spent the relaxation period with his teammates, listening to a playlist put together by defensive end Joe Fotu and talking with his fellow defensive line-men on what to do when

the game fi nally resumed.For Taylor Barton, who is from Florida, the weather delay was something he was used to.

He led the defense with 14 tackles, proving he can keep his composure. “As long as you stay loose in the locker room and keep your mind in the right place, you’re good,” Barton said.

The announced atten-dance for the game was

at 41,019, but this only appeared accurate until the weather delay took hold.

When play resumed, Illi-nois opened the stadium to any and everyone, offering free admission to watch the remainder of the game.

While the delay managed to keep away a good portion of the fans, the energy of the crowd was evident and the Illini utilized it.

“Guys really just got

lackadaisical in the begin-ning,” wide receiver Justin Hardee said.

“We were going to make adjustments at halftime, but (we) got the early delay. We just had to do what we had to do.”

sive coordinator Bill Cubit said. “I think Wes handles himself really well when it’s not going well. All of the sud-den he just got in rhythm.”

Cubit said it was refresh-ing to see Illinois’ rushing have a break-out game with 219 yards. Illinois’ offense had yet to rush for more than 100 yards in a game this season.

Illinois will now head into Big Ten play with a 3-1 record, facing No. 21 Nebras-ka on Saturday, but Beckman is concerned with the team’s performance during the non-conference schedule — forc-ing the team to make three fourth quarter comebacks in their three wins thus far.

“We’re still making too many mistakes to be suc-cessful,” Beckman said. “We have to play four quarters of football.”

Sean can be reached at spneuma2 @dailyillini.com and on Twitter @neumannthehuman.

been an impressive 3-1. Beckman told media after the game that his players “weren’t as excited as they should be after a W.”

I don’t know if I would be all that excited after a come-from-behind victo-ry over Texas State either. Yes, a win is a win. But, at some point you want make a statement. I’m not sure what type of message Illi-nois’ three wins have sent.

Without sparks from Bentley and Ferguson, I don’t know that Illinois would have won this game. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing if players aren’t excited after a win. That at least shows that they want more, they want to make a statement.

They should want to make a statement and Illi-nois will have plenty of chances to do so in the com-ing weeks.

So maybe the weather delay was a good thing, but Illinois isn’t going to get two halftimes to regroup every game.

BY LAUREN MROZCONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Illini men’s golf team added to a fi ve-year win streak at the Wolf Run Intercollegiate this weekend, securing top fi nishes on both the team and individual leaderboards. The tournament was hosted by Wolf Run Golf Club in Zionsville, Indiana. This was the team’s second consecutive win for Illinois after last weekend’s fi rst-place fi nish at the Olympia

Field Country Club Fighting Illini Invitational.

“We came to play. I’m very proud of the team for that,” head coach Mike Small said. “Sometimes after a big national win like (last week), you have a letdown, and there was no letdown this week.

“Our leadership was very good. Our veteran players really showed up, and I commend them.”

The Illini fi nished 30 strokes ahead of second-place Florida. Senior Brian Campbell took the individual top spot at 4-under-par, while juniors Charlie Danielson (1-under) and Thomas Detry (5-over) were not far behind in second and fourth places.

“Brian, Charlie and Thomas all came to play,” said Small. “They

understand that every week is a new week. They didn’t have a hangover. They didn’t let our team have a hangover.”

Small thought his veteran players set the tone for the Illini.

“Just like last week, they emphasized to our younger players that you have to bring it

again,” Small said. “You can’t live in the past, and you can’t think about the future. You have to take care of what you’re doing now, and that’s what these boys showed us.”

Play was halted during the second round Saturday due to inclement weather conditions. Play resumed Sunday morning with the Illini leading the fi eld by 10 strokes.

“I don’t think the delay did too much,” Campbell said. “I just tried to stay focused on every shot I had. I think it was a nice break.

“I just got myself refocused to get going on Sunday.”

Campbell credits experience for the team’s success on the Wolf Run course.

“I think we just know the course very well and we are very good

at playing when it is diffi cult conditions,” he said. “Especially this week, it was very windy and we tailored our games to deal with that, face adversity and embrace it.”

The Fighting Illini’s next meet is the Sagamore Preview on Oct. 13 and 14 in Indianapolis.

“(A win there) will only add to the momentum that (the team) has built during the fi rst two tournaments,” Campbell said. “That will hopefully carry on throughout the season and allow us to keep getting better until the end of the season when it really matters.”

Illini win team competition at Wolf Run for ! " h consecutive year

Janelle Flaws carries Illini with all ! ve goals of the weekend

“Sometimes ... you have a letdown,

and there was no letdown this week.”

Men’s golf wins for second consecutive weekend

Illinois soccer shuts out Indiana, Purdue

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINIIllinois’ Janelle Flaws scored all fi ve Illini goals on the weekend in a pair of victories over Purdue and Indiana. The senior striker has now scored a Big Ten-leading 11 goals in 10 games so far this season.

BY ELISEO ELIZARRARAZSTAFF WRITER

Illinois soccer contin-ues its winning ways as standout senior striker Janelle Flaws netted all of the team’s fi ve goals during this weekend’s wins against Indiana and Purdue to improve the No. 22 ranked Illi-ni to 8-2, 3-1 in Big Ten play.

Thursday’s 2-0 win against Indiana and Sun-day’s 3-0 win against Purdue marked the team’s fi fth and sixth shutout wins of the sea-son. Flaws scored on a free kick in each half against Indiana, secur-ing Illinois its second straight Big Ten win while her hat trick on Sunday made it three.

“Every shutout we get feels good,” head coach Janet Rayfi eld said after Thursday’s game. “We wanted to make it a better defensive season compared to last year, and fi ve shutouts shows we have really made a difference.

“Janelle took advan-

tage of both her oppor-tunities on set pieces and Claire (Wheatley) made a big save on a penalty kick that didn’t allow Indiana to get back in it.”

Against Indiana, Flaws scored off a free kick from 20 yards out in the 20th minute, sink-ing it in the bottom right corner of the net to open the scoring. She would go on to curl the second goal around the defen-sive wall on another free kick, leaving the Purdue k e e p e r helpless. The win included a crucial save by the soph-o m o r e k e e p e r W h e a t -ley, who s t o p p e d a penal-ty kick in the 59th m i n u t e just min-utes after F l a w s ’ s e c o n d goal.

T h e team out-shot the Hoosiers 20-4.

“I worked on some extra free kicks this week with coach Jeff Freeman and it ended up paying off,” Flaws said. “It was nice to get

another Big Ten win, but I don’t think it was our best performance of the year.

“We just need to fi x what we did wrong to come out better on Sunday.”

Flaws didn’t let up her scoring ways against Purdue as Illinois had to count on three late goals by the standout forward to seal the win.

Illinois was shut out for the good part of 80 minutes before Flaws

broke the stalemate with 10 m i n u t e s remaining.

Off a lead pass by soph-o m o r e d e f e n d -er Hope D’Addario, Flaws coo-ly slipped the ball past Pur-due keep-er Eri-ka Yohn, who had six saves on the evening.

F l a w s would go on to score a penalty eight minutes later after a hard foul on sophomore utility striker Alia Abu-Douleh, who was fi lling in for the injured Kara Marbury.

Flaws capped off the scoring a minute later in the 89th minute off a howler by Purdue’s keep-er Yohn, who misjudged Wheatley’s goal kick, as Flaws pounced and out fought Yohn to put the ball in the back of the net. Flaws now tops the Big Ten scoring charts with 11 goals in 10 games

and is now only six goals away from tying Vanessa DiBernardo’s mark of 43 goals. DiBernardo ranks third in Illinois history in goals scored.

Illinois has limit-ed its opponents to 33 shots in the last sev-en games, marking the fewest shots allowed in a seven-game span

in school history.“I think Janelle had a

couple chances early in the game that she’d like to have back again and fi nish those but the thing about a goalscorer is that they just keep at it, they just keep going,” Ray-fi eld said. “They know that the next opportuni-ty they may get might be

the one that they score. You like that mentality in a goal-scorer.”

Illinois faces Ohio State and Purdue this upcoming weekend as they continue their Big Ten stretch of games.

Illini fi nish 14-7 at weekend invite

BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDYSTAFF WRITER

The Illinois men’s ten-nis team put together a 14-7 record as they co-hosted the Olympia Fields Country Club Fighting Illini Invite in Olympia Fields, Illinois for the eighth consecutive year.

Four players competed for the Illini: Jared Hiltzik and freshman Aleks Vukic played their second meets of the fall, Tim Kopinski made his season debut, and freshman Toshiki Matsuya competed for the fi rst time as an Illini. It was an early season meet for everyone and head coach Brad Danc-er said there’s still work to be done.

“We didn’t string a whole day together where every-body played great,” Dancer said. “We looked a little bit rusty to be honest, I thought some things were just not as sharp as I’d like.”

Hiltzik entered the tour-nament as the preseason No. 6 player in the coun-try. After competing at the American Collegiate Invite at the US Open a few weeks ago as a last-minute alter-nate, Hiltzik was back with his teammates at Olympia Fields.

“I started off pretty strong at the beginning of the tournament, I had a pretty good sense of where I had to be emotionally wise as well as physically wise in my game,” Hiltzik said. “The last match I kind of got away from that and let little things bother me too much”.

He put together a 3-1 per-formance over the week-end, losing only to Quentin Monaghan of Notre Dame. One of his wins came against No. 38 Connor Glennon of Memphis. In the spring,

Hiltzik defeated Glennon as a big part of the Illini’s second round comeback win over the Tigers when he came back down a set and down 5-3 in the second set. There’s familiarity on the court, Hiltzik said, but there’s no animosity. Hiltzik said he thinks that he and Kopinski came out strong and did a good job pulling out victories. Kopinski is ranked No. 44 in the coun-try and was the Most Out-standing Player at the Invite last year - a title awarded to the player who wins the most sets. This year Kopins-ki went 3-1 and tied for most points won with Hiltzik and this year’s Most Outstand-ing Player, Notre Dame’s Monaghan.

Freshman Aleks Vukic followed up a semi-fi nal appearance at the South-ern Intercollegiate Cham-pionships with a 3-1 mark at Olympia Fields, includ-ing a win over No. 99 Rob-bie Mudge of NC State, his third victory over a ranked player in his fi rst two colle-giate meets.

Toshiki Matsuya made his Illinois debut with a 2-2 record at the Invite. Danc-er said he has great skills, but his performance was lacking.

“He did not command the court very well and he’s got the ability to do that,” Danc-er said. “He’s got to be a lot clearer about what his pur-pose is. I think he got dis-tracted by scoring situations ... he can do better.”

Dancer thinks the Illini can be better as they move forward to their next compe-titions. Illini will compete at both the Alabama Four next weekend and the ITA All-American Championships, which begin on the 29th.

“We had some good wins, there was great competition there (at Olympia Fields), but we can do better,” Danc-er said.

Despite strong outcome, team focuses on improving performance

KEVIN VONGNAPHONE THE DAILY ILLINIIllinois’ Jared Hiltzik hits the ball back during the second round of NCAA Tennis Regionals. The Illini fi nished 14-7 this weekend at the Olympia Fields Country Club Fighting Illini Invite. Hiltzik ended the weekend with a 3-1 record.

Illinois hockey remains undefeated, sweeps Illinois State in 2-0 weekendDANIEL DEXTERSTAFF WRITER

The Illinois hockey team remained undefeated on the season with two convincing wins at Illinois State over the weekend.

The Illini (3-0-0) notched their fi rst victory Friday by a score of 5-3, and followed it up with a 2-0 shutout on Saturday. Head coach Nick Fabbrini said his team played well this weekend despite having several members of the team out with injuries.

In the fi rst game, the team traded goals with Illinois State, going into the third period tied at 2-2. In the game’s last period, the Illini scored three unanswered goals to secure the victory.

In the first period, Illinois State out shot

Illinois 9-7, but the Illini fought back in the second and third periods to out shoot the Redbirds by a total of 30-12.

“We didn’t play very well through the fi rst period,” Fabbrini said. “The second period got a little better, and then in third period, we took the game over pretty much. Their fi rst shot in the third period didn’t come until there were three minutes left in the period. The game didn’t start out very well, but we fi nished very strongly.”

On Saturday, the Illinois offense got off to a quick start with a goal from left wing Jack Soneson, and center John Olen added another goal to start the second period.

On the defensive end, goalie Zev Grumet-Morris

was called to start his second game in a row after goalie Joe Olen fell ill. Olen had been scheduled to start Saturday. Grumet-Morris showed no signs of fatigue, and prevented the Redbirds from scoring a goal in the game.

“We knew we couldn’t take them lightly,” Grumet-Morris said. “We knew we had to focus and play them well, and they defi nitely showed us a really good squad. They came out really hard against us both nights. They weren’t easy wins by any means. We knew what to expect, so we just went at them.”

Fabbrini saw an improvement from the team over the previous week with regards to penalties, which he saw as an issue against the

Springfield Blues and Northern Illinois. He expects the team to develop its discipline even more as the season goes on.

The team will have its fi rst full week of practice in the Illinois Ice Arena this week in preparation for its fi rst home game against Michigan State on Friday.

“I think we just need to keep getting better,” Fabbrini said. “It’s still really early in the season for us. We are going to start playing better and better teams. We need to cut down on the mistakes. I like the way we are going here so far.”

Winston’s ban has no future impact

SPENCER BROWN

Sports columnist

Famous Jameis.Defending Heisman

trophy winner and Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston seems to have taken that moniker a bit too far.

Again.In the latest Winston inci-

dent, he allegedly jumped on a table in the Florida State student union and yelled an obscene phrase toward women.

Given the current cli-mate of the football world, it probably was not the best timing for an incident like this. Especially since Win-ston was considered to be a fi rst round draft pick.

Emphasis on “was con-sidered” a fi rst round draft pick. Reports have sur-faced claiming that Win-ston’s stock is dropping due to character issues.

The yelling of an obscene phrase is just the latest in a year on the big stage for Jameis.

Over the offseason, Win-ston was caught stealing crab legs out of grocery store.

Not to mention the most important issue during his Florida State career, the sexual assault accusa-tions. He was cleared of any wrongdoing, but you would think Winston would be careful not to draw any more unnecessary negative attention; most important-ly, anything that degrades women.

Winston’s most recent actions got him suspend-ed for half of the Clemson

game originally, before being upgraded to the entire game (which went into overtime).

Apparently Winston wasn’t notified of the adjustment to his punish-ment, and appeared on the fi eld in full pads, another attention-drawing move, much to the dismay of his head coach, Jimbo Fisher.

I have to believe that these aren’t calculated moves being made to create the legacy of Jameis. I also have to believe that Jameis is fully aware of what he is doing.

He just doesn’t care.Jameis Winston has been

enabled by the fan base, the media and by his coaching staff to do whatever he wants. Of course, there is no direct proof to solidify that claim, but it’s there.

The proof is right in front of us.

Before sitting out the Clemson game, Winston suited up for every game. Amidst all of the contro-versy, he remained on the fi eld. In those games, Win-ston is 16-0.

Winston delivered an undefeated season. He delivered a Heisman Tro-phy. He delivered a Nation-al Championship. He brought Florida State back to prominence.

For that, he was crowned “Famous Jameis,” and for that he gets a pass.

Jameis sits on a pedes-tal perched atop college football.

Winston’s passionate, apologetic news confer-ences following these inci-dents are more a testament to his understanding the media culture than actual remorse. He’s very intelli-gent and well-schooled in

the public relations game. A skill not afforded to Johnny Manziel.

Manziel did what he wanted, when he wanted and was not as passionate or apologetic as Winston. Johnny Football was still drafted No. 22 in the fi rst round.

So to all the critics (Mel Kiper, Jr.) who have dropped Winston down to the bottom of the fi rst round, I highly doubt his slipping in the draft is a real possibili-ty. Winston is talented and always makes the biggest plays in the biggest games.

So what do we have here?A fundamental error

in the way these star col-lege athletes are handled. In far too many instances, the player is held above the team, above the school and sometimes above the law.

They are given names like Johnny Football and Famous Jameis and elevat-ed to celebrity status. Con-sequently, just like celebri-ties, they are able to slither

out of trouble with minimal damage done to themselves.

Jameis Winston is just the latest in a long line of players to take the mantle of “most controversial in the game.” More times than not, controversy brings rat-ings, and controversy brings money.

The truth is, no matter how controversial you are, talent dominates all and win-ning is most important.

I think Winston was sus-pended solely because of the recent NFL backlash, not because anyone really felt he deserved it.

Do I think this is the last we’ll hear of Jameis have problems at Florida State? Absolutely not.

Will it affect his chances to play for another nation-al championship, or on Sun-days in the near future? Absolutely not.
