GEO to initiate contract ratifi cation vote BY TYLER DAVISSTAFF WRITER

The Graduate Employees’ Orga-nization secured another fi ve years of guaranteed tuition waivers in its tentative agreement with the University, according to the docu-ment, obtained by The Daily Illini.

The bargaining units reached a tentative agreement Nov. 27, which the GEO brought back to its gener-al membership that evening.

The next step for the GEO will

be to initiate a contract ratifi ca-tion vote, which will begin dur-ing a general membership meeting Tuesday. The vote will continue until Thursday at several cam-pus polling stations. GEO spokes-woman Stephanie Seawell said the results of the vote will be announced late Friday.

The guarantee of the tuition waivers marks a victory for the GEO, which was on the edge of striking until the agreement was

set last week. In the tentative agreement, tuition waivers appear as they did in 2009: in a side letter as opposed to in the contract.

“The tuition waiver issue was the No. 1 issue for us, so without the kind of assurances that we felt we needed to protect tuition waivers, we wouldn’t have been able to sign a tentative agree-ment,” said Natalie Uhl , a mem-ber of the GEO’s bargaining team and graduate student.

Campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said the University declined to comment until the GEO had vot-ed to ratify the agreement.

According to the tentative agreement, in the fi rst year of the contract, assistants will be paid no less than $ 15,190 per year for a standard, 50 percent appointment on a nine-month service basis, which is a 2.5 percent increase in wages from the contract that expired in August. Assistants must

be employed by the time the agree-ment is made effective to receive this minimum wage.

From 2013 and on, assistants will see 2.5, 1.5, 1.5 and 1 .5 per-cent increases respectively each year for a fi nal wage of $16,281 per year in 2 017, when the contract expires.

“We did get increases to the minimum, just not increases that bring us up to the living wage pub-lished by the University,” Uhl said.

The University estimated annu-al graduate student expenses to be $16,618 for the 2011-12 school year.

“Negotiating means that you can’t have everything that you want,” Uhl said. “There were some areas where we were hop-ing to make more movement, but in this case, we knew what the No. 1 issue was, so we were happy to

'Gianni Schicchi', a one-act opera production, was performed by professional opera company Opera Venezuela, in Smith Recital Hall on Sunday evening.

Opera Venezuela hosts one-act opera

BY CORINNE RUFFSTAFF WRITER

Champaign-Urbana welcomed its fi rst professional opera company — run by University students — with two free productions on Sunday. The company, Opera Venezuela, performed Gianni Schicchi at Smith Memorial Hall for its fi rst one-act opera.

John Gomez , doctorate student in opera, started the company two years ago. In creating Opera Venezu-ela, Gomez gathered a wide variety of artists from the University, which he said he believes makes the company so special.

“You need different fl avors and dif-ferent colors, and Opera Venezuela is

that,” he said. “We are a product of mixed cultures and majors.”

The opera came together as a produc-tion by University students who creat-ed the lighting, set, orchestration and voice ensembles, all of which they did voluntarily.

“No one is getting a salary,” Gomez said. “It’s about helping others. Making others smile is the pay-off.”

Although James Blachly , graduate student in orchestral conducting, had never conducted a full opera, he said he couldn’t turn down the opportunity

when Gomez asked him.“It was tremendous,” he said. “It was

thrilling and challenging, and I think putting an opera together in the short period of time meant every moment of rehearsal was riveting — and slightly terrifying.”

Stephen Fiol , retired artist and opera director, was the stage director of the production. He described the compa-ny as representing local art at its very best.

UI approves center for sustainability

BY LAUREN ROHRSTAFF WRITER

The Urbana-Champaign Senate unanimous-ly approved a proposal at its Monday meeting to create a Center for a Sustainable Environ-ment, an umbrella organization that will lead campus environmental groups, academic units and the Offi ce of Sustainability. There was no discussion on the matter.

The center will cost the University $450,000 annually, with additional funding coming from an endowment from the Alvin H. Baum Fam-ily Fund. It will have an annual budget of $495,000.

The goal of the center is to bring together campus units geared toward sustainability to develop related initiatives.

Stephanie Lage, assistant to the director of the Offi ce of Sustainability, said the offi ce started discussing the CSE during the Spring 2012 semester and began creating a propos-al soon after. Nicholas Burbules, chair of the University General Policy committee, present-ed the proposal to the senate at the meeting.

“The area of sustainability is something that I think is a major concern,” Burbules said. “Because so many different units on campus are involved in sustainability issues, it makes sense to see a campuswide center for such issues.”

Provost Ilesanmi Adesida said the proposal for the CSE is in line with the Visioning Excel-lence goals established by Chancellor Phyllis Wise after her “listening and learning tour” last year. The area of sustainability was one of the most common concerns among the cam-pus community.

“Hopefully, from establishing this center, we can grow stronger in areas of energy and the environment,” Adesida said.

The CSE, which will eventually merge with the Offi ce of Sustainability, will be advised by a steering committee. This committee will con-sist of students, faculty and staff in charge of leading projects and activities within the CSE.

Lage said the next step is to appoint a faculty member as the leader of the project, who will also be in charge of an interim steering com-mittee that will lead the planning of the center.

Senate proposes campus integrity statementBY LAUREN ROHRSTAFF WRITER

As a result of University scandals in recent years, the Urbana-Champaign Senate is recommending that Chancel-lor Phyllis Wise put together a committee to create a campus-wide integrity statement.

The senate unanimously approved a resolution to do so at its meeting Monday with no discussion, after it was passed to the body from the Illinois Student Senate.

Not an academic policy, the integrity statement will list ethical guidelines for members of the campus community, said Keenan Kassar, student sena-tor and senior in Business.

“I’m not looking for more pol-icy because we have plenty of that,” he said. “But I think it would be productive to have a one-page statement that sets out our priorities as a Univer-sity in regards to integrity.”

After the Illinois Student Senate passed its resolution

regarding this issue in Octo-ber, Keenan and fellow student senators Jim Maskeri, senior in LAS, and Carey Hawkins Ash, graduate student, created a res-olution to present to the aca-demic senate.

“The resolution ... does not suggest that current efforts to remain ethical have failed; rather, it is our hope that the statement will serve as a for-mal supplement to the campus’ continuing commitment to ethi-cal practices,” Maskeri said.

“For now, all I can say is that we will be looking at this in the near future,” said Ilesan-mi Adesida, vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost.

Kassar said the committee would ideally consist of faculty, administrators, students and staff, as the integrity statement would affect everyone at the University.

Over the past few years, the University “has been affected by scandals in recent years, including last year’s transgres-

sions at the highest echelons of university governance,” as stat-ed in the resolution proposal.

Other Big Ten schools have integrity statements similar to the one Kassar hoped for, including Purdue University and Ohio State University.

This resolution states such an integrity statement does not exist in any University statutes.

Kassar said creating a list of integrity priorities would give the University a “cleaner image.”

Ideally, he said, the state-ment will be posted online, in the administrative manual and within the student code for increased visibility.

“I think (an integrity state-ment) is a piece of inspiration to do good and behave ethical-ly,” Kassar said. “It’s a cultural statement, really. We’d be cre-ating a culture of integrity.”

The University agreed to cover 80 percent of the Student Health Insurance fee, which moved up from the 75 percent provided in the expired contract. The health insurance plan provided to gradu-ate employees lets them purchase coverage for dependents, includ-ing children, but Uhl said GEO members would have also liked to see University coverage of depen-dent premiums.

Outside of the contract, the Uni-versity also conceded to retroac-tively pay graduate employees in the College of Fine and Applied Arts, whose waivers had previous-ly been reduced. This comes after a state arbitration board ruled that departments in the college violated the terms of a side letter to the 2009 contract that assured that would not happen. The Illi-nois Educational Labor Relations Board ruled that the University’s actions constituted a “clear viola-tion” of their contract.

The agreement includes a set-tlement in which the total amount of improperly charged tuition will be reimbursed with 7 per-cent interest . In exchange, the GEO agreed to withdraw all com-plaints pursuant to the prior side letter, and the University prom-ised not to appeal the state board’s decision.

“While I would have preferred that the University not break our contract in the fi rst place, hav-ing people made whole now rather than continuing that fi ght in the court system is defi nitely prefer-able from our perspective,” Uhl said.

Mars rover’s latest discoveries don’t hint at lifeBY ALICIA CHANGTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — NASA’s Curiosity rover has indeed found something in the Martian dirt. But so far, there’s no defi ni-tive sign of the chemical ingre-dients necessary to support life.

A scoop of sandy soil analyzed by Curiosity’s sophisticated chemistry laboratory contained water and a mix of chemicals, but not complex carbon-based molecules considered essential for life.

That the soil was not more hospitable did not surprise mission scientist Paul Mahaffy since radiation from space can destroy any carbon evidence.

“It’s not unexpected neces-sarily,” said Mahaffy of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center,

who is in charge of the chem-istry experiments. “It’s been exposed to the harsh Martian environment.”

The latest fi ndings were pre-sented Monday at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco. The mission managed by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory is trying to determine whether conditions on Mars could have been favorable for microbes when the red planet was warm-er and wetter.

Hopes for a “Mars-shaking” discovery peaked two weeks ago after mission chief scientist John Grotzinger told National Public Radio: “This data is gon-na be one for the history books. It’s looking really good.”

The Internet lit up with

excitement. NASA later clari-fi ed that Grotzinger was refer-ring generally to the mission and not a specifi c result. Days before the science gathering, the space agency sought to con-tain expectations and issued a statement insisting there’d be no big news.

So what did Curiosity fi nd after baking the soil and ana-lyzing the resulting gases?

Water, sulfur and perchlorate, a highly oxidizing salt that was also detected by one of NASA’s previous spacecraft, the Phoe-nix lander, in the northern Mar-tian latitudes.

“This is typical, ordinary Martian soil,” said mission sci-entist Ralf Gellert of the Uni-versity of Guelph in Canada.

The rover did detect hints of

a simple carbon compound, but scientists don’t yet know if it’s native to the planet, came from space or hitchhiked from Earth.

Scientists think the best chance of fi nding complex car-bon is at Mount Sharp, a moun-tain rising three miles from the center of Gale Crater near the Martian equator. Curiosity won’t trek there until early next year. Images from space reveal intriguing layers at the base and many think it’s the ideal place to search for carbon.

“The real new science may have to wait until the rover gets to the ancient layered ter-rain at the base,” said Univer-sity of Arizona senior research scientist Peter Smith, who is not involved in the latest Mars mission.

Database may help solve murders

BY DON BABWINTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Detectives have long wondered what secrets serial killer John Wayne Gacy and other condemned murderers took to the grave when they were executed — particularly whether they had other unknown victims.

Now, in a game of scientifi c catch-up, the Cook County Sher-iff’s Department is trying to fi nd out by entering the killers’ DNA profi les into a national database shared with other law-enforce-ment agencies. The move is based on an ironic legal distinction: The men were technically listed as homicide victims themselves because they were put to death by the state.

Authorities hope to fi nd DNA matches from blood, semen, hair or skin under victims’ fi ngernails that link the long-dead killers to the coldest of cold cases. And they want investigators in other states to follow suit and submit the DNA of their own executed inmates or

from decades-old crime scenes.“You just know some of these

guys did other murders,” said Jason Moran, the sheriff’s detec-tive leading the effort. He noted that some of the executed kill-ers ranged all over the country before the convictions that put them behind bars for the last time.

The Illinois testing, which began in the summer, is the latest attempt by Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart to solve the many mys-teries still surrounding one of the nation’s most notorious serial kill-ers. Dart’s offi ce recently attempt-ed to identify the last unnamed Gacy victims by exhuming their remains to create modern DNA profi les that could be compared with the DNA of people whose loved ones went missing in the 1970s, when Gacy was killing young men.

That effort, which led to the identifi cation of one additional Gacy victim, led Dart to wonder if the same technology could help answer a question that has been

out there for decades: Did Gacy kill anyone besides those men whose bodies were stashed under his house or tossed in a river?

“He traveled a lot,” Moran said. “Even though we don’t have any information he committed crimes elsewhere, the sheriff asked if you could put it past such an evil person.”

Dart’s offi ce said Monday that it believes this is the fi rst time DNA has been added to the national database for criminals executed before the database was created.

“This has the potential to help bring closure to victims’ families who have gone so long without knowing what happened to their loved ones,” Dart said in a news release.

Receiving permission to use the database posed several chal-lenges for Dart’s detectives. After unexpectedly fi nding three vials of Gacy’s blood stored with oth-er Gacy evidence, Moran learned the state would only accept the blood in the crime database if it came from a coroner or medical examiner.

Moran thought he was out of luck. But then the coroner in Will County, outside Chicago, sur-prised him with this revelation:

In his offi ce freezer were blood samples from Gacy and at least three other executed inmates, all of whom had been put to death there in the period after Illinois reinstated the death penalty in the 1970s. The executions were car-ried out between 1990 and 1999, a year before then-Gov. George Ryan established a moratorium on the death penalty. So it was the Will County coroner’s offi ce that conducted the autopsies and col-lected the blood samples.

That was only the fi rst obstacle.The state sends to the FBI’s

Combined DNA Index System the profi les of homicide victims no matter when they were killed. But it will only send the profi les of known felons if they were convict-ed since a new state law was enact-ed about a decade ago that allowed them to be included, Moran said.

That meant the profi le of Gacy, who received a lethal injection in 1994, and the profi les of other exe-cuted inmates could not qualify for the database under the felon provi-sion. They could, however, qualify as people who died by homicide.

“They’re homicides because the state intended to take the inmate’s life,” said Patrick O’Neil, the Will County coroner.

DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Gov. Quinn fi nalizes special election for vacant congressional seat

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation fi nalizing the date for a special election to fi ll the vacant 2nd Congressional District seat.

The election to choose who will replace Jesse Jackson, Jr. will take place on April 9, 2013, a date on which local elections are already scheduled. This deci-sion, according to the Offi ce of Gov. Quinn, will save money for taxpayers and will allow voters to elect a new representative for the 113th Congress.

“This new law will save tax-payer dollars and help encourage greater participation on Election Day as voters choose their next leader to represent Illinois’ 2nd Congressional District,” Quinn said in a press release.

The senate bill Quinn signed into law allowed an extended period of time in which to sched-ule the election.

This change in special election policy will save taxpayers the estimated $2.5 million it would cost to hold a separate special election, as estimated by the Illi-nois State Board of Elections.

The special election will choose a new representative from the 2nd Congressional Dis-trict, which is composed of about 420,000 registered voters.

Governor Quinn announces grant to improve healthcare in Illinois

Three Illinois nonprofi t orga-nizations were awarded $1.3 mil-lion in federal funding, Gov. Pat Quinn announced Saturday.

The money will help the orga-nizations upgrade health infor-mation technology services in underserved areas of Illinois, according to a press release.

The grants were made pos-sible by the Illinois Offi ce of Health Information Technology as part of its White Space Grant Program. The offi ce anticipates the grants will allow providers to serve hundreds of thousands of patients every year, said the press release.

“Upgrading our health infor-mation technology network is a critical part of our efforts to transform our healthcare sys-tem into one that focuses on well-ness and keeping people healthy through better preventive care,” Quinn said in a press release. “Improving communication among providers is a key to this transformation. These grants are another important step in the direction of a fully connected Illinois and better patient care.”`

Heartland Health Outreach, The Alliance of Community Health Services and the Chi-cago Health Information Tech-

nology Regional Extension Cen-ter in Chicago were awarded a $500,000 grant.

The Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network in Princeton was awarded a $495,120 grant and Southern Illinois Health-care in Carbondale was award-ed a $338,600 grant.

In 2010, Illinois was award-ed with $18.8 million in federal funding under the Health Infor-mation Technology for Econom-ic and Clinical Health Act as part of the Health Information Exchange Cooperative Agree-ment Program, making the fund-ing for these grants possible.

Champaign Police arrest suspect after shots are fi red

Shots fi red at approximate-ly 3:15 a.m. Sunday led to the arrest of a suspect by Cham-paign Police, according to a press release.

Police offi cers were patrol-ling the area when they heard multiple shots fi red and saw the suspect, Rynell W. Frazier, 24, fl eeing from the 500 block of Highland Avenue. Offi cers pur-sued the suspect on foot, who resisted arrest, until they were able to arrest the suspect at the 500 block of Willis Avenue. According to the press release, a search of Frazier yielded 4.4 grams of suspected marijuana. The police offi cers also found a gun outside of the private home to which Frazier fl ed during the foot pursuit.

Frazier was arrested on charg-es of resisting a police offi cer, unlawful use of weapons and unlawful possession or use of a weapon by a felon.

Both the suspect and one of the involved offi cers sustained minor injuries during the pursuit. Fra-zier was treated at Carle Hospi-tal and later transferred to the Champaign County Jail.

Public Safety Advisory alerts public of armed robbery investigation

Champaign Police are inves-tigating an armed robbery that occurred at 12:10 a.m. Monday at 201 S. Wright St.

According to a Public Safety Advisory, the victim was enter-ing his apartment building when the offender approached him and asked for money. The offender proceeded to punch the victim in the mouth and implied that he had some sort of weapon. He then took the victim’s wallet and left the area on foot in a northbound direction.

The offender was described as a black male with a dark com-plexion in his early twenties, between 150 and 160 pounds and 5’8” tall. He was also described as clean shaven and wearing a white, short-sleeve shirt and blue jeans.

This image released by NASA shows the work site of the NASA’s rover Curiosity on Mars. So far, there is no defi nitive evidence that the red planet has the chemical ingredients to support life. Scientists said Monday that a scoop of sandy soil analyzed by the rover's chemistry lab contained water and a mix of chemicals, but not the complex carbon-based compounds considered necessary for microbial life.

“It’s easy to fi nd people who are willing to do things for a lot of money, but everyone in this pro-duction is doing it for the right reasons,” he said. “They love the arts and want to see them fl ourish.”

Fiol has conducted 11 opera productions at Krannert, several including Gomez, whom Fiol has come to know personally within the last two years.

“It’s very interesting because as students that have come to the end of their degree programs, all of the sudden a career is looming and a lot of things take shape in a new way,” he said.

Gomez, native of Venezuela, said his biggest inspiration for the company came from El Siste-ma, a Venezuelan voluntary music education program, that promotes music education as a tool in mak-ing classical music available for people of all socio-economic lev-els. This program allows people to attend concerts and receive music education for free.

“It’s a music revolution,” Gomez said. “Music is a powerful tool for our communities, and I think it has been the key to calming down people.”

Tania Arazi Coambs , doctorate student in opera and developmen-tal associate of Opera Venzuela, said many people that attend their shows have never been to an opera production before. Her goal was to make classical music accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Coambs said the company plans to offer an after-school program that will give kids from lower eco-nomic families the opportunity to receive lessons in instrumenta-tion, voice and acting.

“We hope to get through a search process and have a direc-tor in place by fall 2013,” Lage said. “I am delighted the faculty senate has approved the CSE so we can now offi cially begin the search.”

Burbules said additional fund-ing will become necessary over time, but there is “hope in partic-ipation and donation from addi-tional endowments” once the CSE is further established. The pro-

posal also states that the center will look to raise external funds from sources such as supporting families and foundations.

Although the proposal for the CSE has only recently been approved, Burbules said he thinks it is a great opportunity for the campus.

“Sustainability should be high-priority for us right now,” he said. “The establishment of this center is essential to our campus.”

Turns out a little hard work can hurt; as you’re pulling your all-nighters in preparation for

finals, think about the 10,000 Japa-nese citizens who die each year from overwork.

It’s called psychoneuroimmunol-ogy — the study of the silent killer of not just Japanese but also high-ly-motivated students and profes-sionals everywhere: stress. The cure? Rest. Relaxation. Not work-ing so dang hard. Sounds great, right? But try to get a little R&R when deadlines are approaching. The real world doesn’t stop to bal-ance your stress levels. If you don’t take a deep breath and step away from the study guides, your body may pay the price in the long run from stress-induced heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis and delayed wound healing. Or you could just spend several years developing unhealthy ways of bottling stress until you explode like a badly shak-en bottle of soda.

According to the theory of psy-choneuroimmunology, a now-recent branch within scientific medicine, there is currently a controversy in mind-body therapy over wheth-er there is a connection between the brain and the body. Despite the debate, physical ailments induced by stress are widely recognized. Certainly you’ve heard of the phrase “mind over matter,” but what’s the matter with certain peo-ple’s minds?

Stress due to overwork is the sort of damage, according to sci-entists and physicians who back psychoneuroimmunity theory, that develops over time. Fear not — you probably won’t be driven into car-

diac arrest if you have one or two stressful final exams. But if you develop the harmful habit of pow-ering through every work chal-lenge without relieving your body’s pent-up tension, well, then you’re experiencing exactly what Japan is fighting so hard to combat.

Long work hours are a part of life in Japan. And an unfortunate reality that comes from employ-ees putting in over 60 hours of work in the average week is some-thing called karoshi, “death by overwork.”

As reported in The Economist, overwork at Toyota took Hiroko Uchino away from his wife and two young children back in 2002. Uchino was 30 years old when he collapsed at work, later to be pro-nounced dead from karoshi. It was 4 a.m., and Toyota was where he spent most of his time — on the production line. And when he wasn’t on the clock, Uchino was going for overtime, but not as incentive for a bonus or to help fellow employees out in isolated times of need, but just because it’s the culture. Japanese workers put in close to 1,780 hours a year, according to the article, and that’s not including overtime. And those hours are actually slightly less than what U.S. workers put in at 1,800 work hours a year.

In fact, American college and graduate students have suffered from overwork for centuries.

William T. Parker Jr., a student at Harvard, went crazy in the mid-dle of his Constitutional law exam. He was “waving his hands wildly, (he) cried out a number of unintel-ligible sentences,” and died sev-eral days later of “an abscess on the brain caused by over study,” according to The New York Times.

The year was 1900 — there was no Internet. The sort of study-ing Parker did may have looked a lot different from our version of

preparing for semester-end proj-ects and final exams. He probably spent his time in the halls of Har-vard’s historic libraries instead of being mesmerized by the glow of a computer screen. Something else Parker didn’t have was modern medicine to help him during his time of extreme distress. Maybe there were other issues going on in Parker’s personal life that a coun-seling center could have help him cope with.

Perhaps there was something physically wrong with Parker’s brain that countless hours fixat-ed in front of textbooks and court records only aggravated. Or may-be Parker just worked too hard.

What we can learn from instances like Parker’s or those who reportedly died from docu-mented cases of psychoneuroim-munology is not to slack off. For motivation isn’t itself deadly, and striving for success either aca-demically or in the workplace is what sets students and employ-ees apart. Overachievers will inherit the earth, if they haven’t already. But we workaholics can only advance our empire of pro-ductivity if we take a tip from those friends and foes who poke fun at our conscientious ways: We need to chill out. Take a break. Do something completely outside of the world you are used to. This is hardly the prescription we want, but it’s the medicine we have to take before we too throw up our hands in insanity. Don’t let finals or the end of the job crunch get the best of your brain or your body — you worked too hard to let that happen. Give yourself the pre-holiday gift you really need; for at least a few minutes once you’re done reading this, do noth-ing at all.

P oint to Syria on a map. Now explain which empire Syria was a part of until the 1900s. Then talk about the

blackout and its implications on the rebel-lion. Now do the same thing with Eng-land. Find it on a map, explain part of its history and talk about something going there currently. How about the United States?

An inability to recognize the world out-side our own borders, not only geographi-cally but politically and historically, has become a national disaster. It damag-es our ability as individuals to learn, to understand, to be compassionate, to make informed decisions, to improve our own country and the world as a whole.

And it’s certainly not limited to stu-dents. A civic literacy exam issued by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute found that the average American scored 49 per-cent; the average for college educators, 55 percent. The ISI’s study isn’t the only one to showcase these findings, and civic literacy isn’t the only measure of such ineptitude. During the presidential cam-paign, Mitt Romney made the comment that “Syria is Iran’s route to the sea.” But Syria and Iran don’t share any bor-ders. More importantly, Iran has its own coastline.

My high school offered one course that dealt with current affairs, one class offered at the same time as calcu-lus called Current American Problems. Taught by the most intelligent teacher in the school, students enrolled because they liked him — and dropped because it was difficult. I never had the opportuni-ty to take it, though I, like everyone else, was required to take a year of U.S. his-tory, a semester of geography and at least a semester of world history. It’s a trend of studying history over current events con-tinues from middle school and probably elementary school before that, though I don’t remember it.

What I remember from my past his-tory classes is the year of the start of the French-Indian War, the placement and capital of every state in the U.S., the jour-ney of Harriet Tubman, the names of the first 16 U.S. presidents in order, the years of Reconstruction, who painted “Guerni-ca,” the countries that made up the Axis of Evil, that Harry S. Truman’s middle name was “S,” that Woodrow Wilson was the only U.S. president to have a doctor-ate and started the League of Nations.

What I don’t remember is learning about what was going on in the world. I remember facts and stats, but the impli-cations behind many of those facts are lost somewhere in the crevasses of my mind — if I ever learned them at all.

So much of formal education relies on history as opposed to current events, and American history over all else. Current events will become our history, but if we wait until the events are printed in a text-book published in Texas before we read about them, we won’t be able to act — we will simply wonder how the world got to be this way.

When I studied abroad in England, I learned more about the French Revo-lution in an English literature class on Romanticism than I learned in any his-tory class because it severely impact-ed British literature at the time. Writers traveled, they ran, they drew parallels between the situation in France and their own conditions back home.

We have never been hermitic and — especially in this age of globalization, of Internet, of multinational, transnational corporations — are never completely iso-lated. Not economically, not politically, and therefore we cannot afford to be iso-lated in our knowledge.

Can you name the president of Iran? Of Russia? How does the new president of Mexico affect the drug war? Does the democratically elected president of Egypt help or hurt with regards to the stability and structure of the Middle East?

Knowledge of historical events remains important (the old adage “Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it” stands even outside of the irony of the classroom), but we need to become more globally competent. We need to know that Egyptian presi-dent Muhammad Morsi recently placed himself above judicial scrutiny. We need to know that North Korea has set anoth-er rocket launch date, right around the time of South Korea’s elections. We need to know how the geographic position of Iran, in relation to countries occupied by the United States, shapes its foreign policy.

Global incompetence is not limited to the United States, and it’s not limited to young people, but the implications of such widespread ignorance are danger-ous for everyone. If we cannot increase our consumption of current events, if we cannot teach our youngest students how to think critically about the relationship between geography, history and current events, the problem will only persist and intensify.

O ne more program at the University has been cut. Because of lack

of funding, the master’s degree part of the Civic Leadership Program has been eliminated, and there are plans of integrating the program into the undergraduate political science department.

Students who completed the program began their studies their junior year; had a 7-month internship anywhere in the world, aided by $10,000 funding from CLP; completed a master’s degree in political science; and completed a group project thesis. On top of it all, members were eligible for tuition waivers.

Students in the program are upset about the decision, to say the least, and they have every right to be. Fortunately, students already admitted into the program will be able to finish their master’s degree as they had planned.

But the program has had its run, and integration into the undergraduate program could help give the undergraduate political science department more prestige.

Integration would boost employer perceptions of the University’s undergraduate degree because CLP, devoid of the additional year of school, could make it more competitive. If students didn’t have to stay for another year of school, more students may apply for the program, making the selection process all the more selective.

But for students who are enrolled, the part that probably seemed most attractive was the master’s degree — ranked 21st in the nation’s political science programs, tying with Northwestern University and the University of Texas at Austin, according to U.S. News & World Report — and it was cut. Giving more emphasis to the bachelor’s degree is a much better course of action.

Over the past few decades, the bachelor’s degree has morphed into the high school diploma — a four-year degree is a requirement for nearly every entry-level job. Since the recession began five years ago, the number of students applying to master’s degree programs has increased — and so did the thought that the master’s is the new bachelor’s. In 2009-10, nearly 700,000 master’s degrees were awarded, more than twice those awarded 10 years prior.

Professional and academic opinions on the value of a master’s degree vary, but it seems that several sources would agree that not every master’s degree is equal in value — some are worthy of the lofty $50,000 each while some are not. Although CLP was virtually a free degree because of tuition waivers, the master’s degree could serve to hinder the program’s graduates.

Despite the extra education, employers may value the experience over additional classes.

Too much education comes with the pejorative “overqualified.”

The real-world experience that employers value wasn’t devoid from CLP, though. The program was responsible in providing students with practical and applicable skills for the real world through the residency and the practicum, something that many other ivory-tower humanities and social science programs don’t explicitly include.

CLP’s seven-year run did show that University students have an interest in pursuing further education in political science and civic leadership, but that doesn’t mean they have to pursue those interests in a master’s program, especially if the undergraduate program is bolstered by cutting the master’s degree.

Elimination of Civic Leadership Program could give undergrad

program more prestige

EDITORIAL CARTOON LANGSTON ALLSTON THE DAILY ILLINI

B ehind the best mustache on cable TV lies my absolute favorite thing about Ron Swan-

son. He has a strong opinion about government’s role — he wants to minimize it. In the words of Ron, played by University graduate Nick Offerman, “It is never too early to learn that government is a greedy piglet that suckles on the teat of the taxpayer until they have chapped nips.” That opinion is never por-trayed in as likable of a way as NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” has done it. Ron Swanson is the best thing to happen to conservatism since Reagan.

Ron is everything awesome about a do-it-yourself, pull-your-self-up-by-your-boot-straps, don’t-need-no-stinking-hand-out conser-vative man. He is the head of the parks and recreation department in Pawnee, Ind., but he is constant-ly trying to slash the government and his own department’s influence and power. Ron is a hunter, avid bacon enthusiast, outdoorsman and woodworker.

He wears his libertarianism on his sleeve in a way that almost dips into anarchism, and yet the show finds a way to humanize him and make him extremely lovable. In one episode Ron finds out that web-sites can track your searches and purchases and immediately throws out his computer, all the while cursing his lack of privacy.

When his colleague and ideologi-cal opponent Leslie Knope, played

by Amy Poehler, wants to regulate candy to improve health Ron abso-lutely disagrees, reciting one of his classic and beautiful Swanologues, “The whole point of this country is if you want to eat garbage, balloon up to 600 pounds and die of a heart attack at 43, you can. You are free to do so. To me that’s beautiful.”

It is his catchy Swanologues that make libertarianism comedic and relatable. For example, “You give a man a fish you feed him for a day. You don’t teach a man to fish, and you feed yourself. He’s a grown man. Fishing isn’t that hard.” It is this type of standoffish attitude that makes him so liked and lov-able. He fends for himself and lets everyone else have the freedom to do the same.

Swanson’s government ideol-ogy clashes with Knope. Their back-and-forth offers humorous insight without making a dis-tinction between Republican and Democrat or liberal and conserva-tive. Though the show’s approach is to make Ron so far out to the right that they are almost making fun of him, the juxtaposition with Leslie’s character, who leans far left, creates for more than come-dy — it creates a satirical discus-sion of political issues. The show’s co-creator and executive produc-er Michael Schur, reported by the Huffington Post, said that was intentional.

“We have never said the words Democrat or Republican on the show, and we never will,” Sch-ur said. “We are aided by the fact that many city council elec-tions don’t have party affiliations, so that’s one thing that’s good. We don’t try to avoid issues at all. In fact, I think we try to use

them. But we use them in a way that’s hopefully equal-handed and satirical instead of preachy or soap-boxy.”

I find it an unbelievably impres-sive feat that Parks and Rec has managed to make two characters with completely opposite beliefs both able to coexist to solve prob-lems in a way that is relatable to a vast audience. Both hold pow-erful roles at their department and every day come across issues that beg the question of what they should do as the governing body. It can be anything from regulating the parks to adding more bench-es, but their contrasting approach-es offer insight to solve problems with compromise.

Schur might be a little opti-mistic about seeing this relation-ship mirrored in Washington. He said Leslie and Ron’s relationship should not be something impossi-ble. It is symbolic for the fact that opposite political views can coex-ist peacefully though so often we don’t see it.

Sure Ron’s character is made out to be a ridiculous border-line anarchist, but it presents an important discussion of the other side of the coin. At times he may be irrational and sound loony, but we can’t help it — we like him. And that he makes you ask your-self if you really need the govern-ment. He makes you want to stay in the woods for a month, grow a mustache, carve your own furni-ture and get the government out of your personal business.

Keep fighting the good fight my mustachioed comrade.

Britain will have new #royalbaby: William, Kate expecting their 1st childBY CASSANDRA VINOGRADTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Britain doesn’t have to wait any longer: Prince William’s wife, Kate, is pregnant.

St. James’s Palace made the announcement Monday, saying that the Duchess of Cambridge — formerly Kate Middleton — has a severe form of morning sickness and is currently in a London hospi-tal. William was at his wife’s side.

The news drew congratulations from around the world, with the hashtag “royalbaby” trending globally on Twitter.

The couple’s first child will be third in line to the throne — behind William and his father, Prince Charles — leapfrogging the gre-garious Prince Harry and possi-bly setting up the first scenario in which a female heir could bene-fit from new gender rules about succession.

The palace would not say how far along the 30-year-old duch-ess is, only that she has not yet reached the 12-week mark.

Palace officials said the duch-

ess was hospitalized with hyper-emesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness that affects about 1 in 200 women and can lead to dehydration or worse if left untreated. They said she was expected to remain hospitalized for several days and would require a period of rest afterward.

Until Monday’s announcement, the duchess had shown no signs of being with child. She was photo-graphed just last week bounding across a field clad in black high-heeled boots as she played field hockey with students at her for-mer school.

Still, speculation has swirled about when she and William would start a family from almost the moment they were wed on April 29, 2011, in a lavish ceremony at Westminster Abbey.

The attractive young couple is immensely popular, and their child is expected to play an impor-tant role in British national life for decades to come.

In September, tongues wagged over why she might be avoiding

alcohol when the duchess opted to toast with a glass of ice water instead of champagne during a banquet in Singapore.

Last week, the rumor mill kicked into high gear when a beaming Wil-liam accepted a baby outfit from a well-wisher that bore the phrase, “Daddy’s little co-pilot.”

“I’ll keep that,” he reportedly said.

The confirmation of Kate’s preg-nancy caps a jam-packed year of highs and lows for the young royals.

They have traveled the world extensively as part of Queen Eliza-beth II’s Diamond Jubilee celebra-tions and weathered the embar-rassment of a nude photos scandal, after a tabloid published topless images of the duchess.

British Prime Minister David Cameron admitted he got a heads-up about the pregnancy, saying he found the news “quite difficult” to keep to himself and express-ing confidence the young couple will make “absolutely brilliant parents.”

Variety of tablet models top wish lists this season

DISH OF THE WEEK

BY TAYLOR ELLISSTAFF WRITER

For anyone who is a lover of french fries — or anything fried for that matter — Firehaus Fries served at Firehaus Restaurant and Bar are worth a try. Located at 708 South Sixth Street, Fire-haus has been serving this crispy dish for years, making it a staple among students.

According to Ian Joaquin, kitchen manager at Firehaus for the past two months, Firehaus Fries are one of the most popular items on the menu and are meant to be an appetizer shared among friends because of the hefty por-tion size.

“One order of fries is way too

much for one person, especially with burgers too,” Joaquin said.

To begin, a large heaping of fries are laid into a basket; how-ever, these aren’t your average fries from McDonald’s — they have a crispy coating that set them apart. Once the fries are ready to go, toppings including cheese, ranch dressing, green onions and bacon are layered on top of the potatoes.

Joaquin, a lover of Firehaus Fries himself, explained that many customers will share the fries and several other appetiz-ers instead of ordering a main entree.

“A lot of people will get it along with other stuff,” Joaquin

said. “If there’s four people eat-ing together, they’ll get Fire-haus Fries and other things to split between them.”

While the Firehaus Fries are consistently served during the restaurant’s busiest hours, the dish is especially popular dur-ing football season in the fall when students need a little pick-me-up after a long day of tailgating.

So whether it’s your love of french fries or the unique top-pings, Firehaus fries may please even the most picky french fry connoisseur.

When the first iPad was released in 2010, it came with many skeptics. Little did they know that tablets would become the ultimate tool to watch movies, read books and even take notes for class, all in one device.

Two years later, they are on the top of many Christmas wish lists, and they’re not just made by Apple. Below are five tablets on the market this holiday season.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD At $199, the Kindle Fire is one

of the most cost-effective tablets on the market this holiday season. Though the Kindle was originally meant as just an e-book reader, it has come a long way since then. It can now be used for social net-working, watching movies and other basic Internet functions.

Students can also upload their textbooks onto their Kindle, which is where its roots as an e-book reader pay off. The Kindle allows readers to look up words and high-light certain sections; its screen also makes it easy to read the text.

However, Ben Kraatz, fresh-man in Engineering, believes the Kindle Fire HD is weaker than other tablets on the market, and noted it doesn’t have a camera.

“The Kindle Fire is for the low price and the Amazon services,” Kraatz added.

Google Nexus 10 The Nexus 10’s $399 price

tag puts it at just about average for a 10-inch tablet of its quali-ty. Despite its alleged weak bat-tery life, the tablet received rave reviews. The Nexus 10 received 4 stars on CNET, which described it as “one of the best designed tab-lets around.”

The Nexus 10 also runs on the Android 4.2 operating system. Brad Smith, freshman in LAS, prefers the Android OS. “It’s slightly more difficult to learn than the iPad, but it is much more customizable,” he said.

He recommended some apps, such as Chameleon Launcher and GO Launcher, that allow custom-ers to get the most out of custom-ization. Unlike iPad apps, most Android apps are free. One of Android 4.2’s most anticipated features is the new Photo Sphere, which allows users to take pic-tures spanning 360 degrees.

ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity This tablet also runs on Android

OS, but its price runs significantly higher than the Nexus 10 at $499. What makes it a “transformer” is that the tablet can attach to a key-board to change it into a netbook.

The keyboard doesn’t come with the tablet, however, and costs about $150 extra. The Trans-former Pad Infinity, as a tablet, has been commended for its HD screen and its 2-megapixel front-facing camera.

iPad Mini The $329 7.9-inch iPad Mini is

significantly less expensive than the full 10-inch iPad, but Kraatz believes it’s just as powerful.

“Although it doesn’t fall into the same price range of ... other simi-lar tablets, it’s better than those cheaper tablets,” he said.

The iPad mini has the same fea-tures as the iPad, and also has an extra inch of screen compared with other tablets of similar size. Unlike other tablets, it also has access to iBooks, making it “just as good as a bigger tablet,” said Kraatz.

Microsoft Surface With the Surface being Micro-

soft’s first attempt at a tablet, pricing it at $499 (and $899 for the Pro version) is a bold decision.

Microsoft’s new tablet also runs on Windows 8, which is meant to further enhance the true netbook experience. Though Windows is the most popular operating system in the world, Kraatz believes that may not be a smart choice.

“Windows 8 has received a lot of criticism because it is made for both tablets and desktops and is thus compromised in both ways ... the user interface is the main problem,” he said.

The Windows App Store has a somewhat limited selection; how-ever, the Surface links well with a keyboard and has a USB port, making it one of the highest rated tablet/netbook hybrids.

On Dec. 3, 1992, a 22-year-old engineer in England named Neil Pap worth sent the world’s fi rst text message, reading “Mer-ry Christmas,” from his computer to his

friend’s phone. Yesterday, on the 20th anniversary of texting, more than 20 billion texts were sent from phones worldwide.

What was designed as a simple way for interoffi ce contact has developed into the world’s most preferred form of communication, with a whopping 92 percent of smartphone users favoring texts over email and social networking messaging services.

Despite texting’s wide use, or perhaps because of it, cellular service providers continue to outrageously overcharge for their texting service plans. An aver-age text message consists of around 140 bytes of data yet costs an average of 20 cents to send. This leads to a cost of nearly $1,500 per MB of data sent, making it more costly to send a text than to receive the same amount of data from the Hubble Telescope, which is in orbit over 350 miles above the Earth’s surface.

But since the advent of smartphones and data plans, there have been free texting applications that can be used as a much cheaper alternative. Here are three applications that I recommend you use in lieu of a tex-ting plan:

1) textPlus: This texting app is available for almost all smartphones, including those that use Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android operating system. It provides you with a free telephone number which you can make calls from as well as send and receive texts. It also supports group and photo messaging and can work off your data plan or Wi-Fi.

2) imo: This app is more than just a texting app, allow-ing you to link your other social messaging accounts including GTalk, Facebook and Skype. You can message your contacts from these services from your phone as well as send photos, videos and voice messages.

3) WeChat: As well as being a free texting app, WeChat has a unique “shake” feature that allows you to share photos, contact info and other multimedia fi les with users near you. It also has a “look around” feature that sees how close other users of the app are to you.

It is amazing how cellphone carriers can continue to raise the price for providing a service running on 20-year-old technology. Luckily for us, mobile phone app developers have our back with these free alternatives.

It was an injury waiting to happen.

At Kenney Gym, sophomore standout C.J. Maestas was work-ing on adding air flares to his floor routine. After finally land-ing the skill, Maestas, ever the perfectionist, requested one more go-around. The decision proved devastating, as the gym-nast planted on the ground after his right arm lost stability. Mae-stas looked down at his elbow, bent the opposite way, and imme-

diately popped it into place.Maestas had torn his tricep,

resulting in “an instant burning on my arm. The worst pain of my life.” He received surgery on the elbow Nov. 20.

Maestas, the reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Year, will miss the entirety of the 2013 season. He won the NCAA’s still rings title last season as a true freshman and was slotted to anchor five of the Illini’s six events this season.

Spring said Maestas was irre-placeable and that the entire team will be responsible for helping fill

Maestas’ void if the Illini are to repeat as national champions. He pointed to senior Yoshi Mori, who finished sixth in the all-around in April’s NCAA Championships, as someone who will need to step up in Maestas’ absence.

“We’re not the same team any-more,” Spring said. “Every guy who was seventh in an event is now in our lineup. It’s an early setback, but the team is ready to rise to the occasion.”

Spring said the severity of the injury could be attributed to an incident Maestas went through before attending Illinois. Mae-stas initially injured his right elbow while sitting atop his friend’s shoulder in high school before falling from his friend’s

6-foot-2 frame and striking the tip of his elbow perfectly from the fall. Maestas never sought medi-cal attention following the fall, which led to scar tissue instead of healed bone.

Working on the air flares, Mae-stas said, was one of many exer-cises that may have triggered the tear.

“There are times where I just stare at the floor and think, ‘What if?’ But you can play the what-if game all day,” he said. “What if I hadn’t made that last turn? What if it had happened on some-thing else? What if I hadn’t come to practice that day? Whatever the case is, I still would have still got-

When the Illinois women’s bas-ketball team hired Matt Bollant as the program’s new head coach in March, changes were clearly going to be made.

Perhaps the biggest change of all was introducing Bollant’s fast-paced system, a scheme that thrived during his five-year ten-ure at Wisconsin-Green Bay. The system encourages shoot-ing and aggressive offensive play to go along with Bollant’s in-your-face Buzz defense. The ball, just like the players, is in constant motion. The team has quickly responded to the new style of play.

Although only seven games into the season, Illinois is sec-ond in the Big Ten in points per game at 76.1 and assists per game at 17.7. The Illini finished near the bottom of both catego-ries last year.

No one has benefitted more from the new system than soph-omore guards Alexis Smith and Ivory Crawford. The pair has accounted for nearly one-third of the Illini’s scoring and over

half of the team’s assists.Just a year ago, the duo had

distinctly different roles.Crawford, ranked as the No.

88 recruit in the country com-ing out of high school, was giv-en a chance early by then-head coach Jolette Law. As a fresh-man, Crawford started 23 con-tests, averaging 21 minutes per game. Despite receiving plenty of playing time out the gate, Crawford struggled to find immediate success. She made modest contributions last sea-son, averaging 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

“It wasn’t that I was frustrat-ed. I think it just didn’t fit us as a team,” Crawford said of Law’s system. “I think it just wasn’t working out.”

Smith, on the other hand, was forced to ride the bench for most of the season. The West Islip, N.Y., native appeared in 19 contests, playing only 5.6 min-utes per game. She struggled to find a rhythm in her limited time on the court, scoring 19 points all season while totaling five assists and 19 turnovers. Smith didn’t complain. Instead,

she looked at the positives.“I would say for me it was a

learning experience,” Smith said. “It was frustrating that we couldn’t win, but it’s OK because I got all that time to learn. It worked out for me, I learned a lot. Maybe I didn’t get the most playing time, but my teammates were still there.”

Law’s dismissal in ear-ly March after five seasons at Illinois and Bollant’s hiring breathed life into the games of Crawford and Smith.

The duo has their finger-prints all over the Big Ten lead-erboards in the early going this season. Smith leads the Big Ten in assists per game at 7.4, nar-rowly trailing Charlotte’s Ny Hammonds, who leads the nation with 7.8. Smith is also ninth in the Big Ten in assist-turnover ratio at 1.5.

Bollant said he saw Smith’s potential before the season even began by watching her practice.

“We get to see them the whole month of October. We practice two-and-a-half hours or so,” Bol-

I’mnot really sure why the “Sports Illustrat-ed” staff didn’t ask for

me to write a celebrity column about who should win its 2012 Sportsman of the Year award, the magazine’s highest honor.

SI went ahead without me and picked LeBron James thanks to an NBA title, an Olympic gold and an NBA MVP.

I respect James, and he’s matured an unfathomable amount since the debacle of his infamous “Decision” in 2010.

But another athlete was over-looked — someone who also made a huge decision in 2010 and has also grown up a lot since then: gymnast Gabby Douglas, the 2012 Olympic women’s gym-nastics all-around and team gold medalist.

In July 2010, James made a gaudy showcase of his decision to leave Cleveland for Miami in a one-hour ESPN special in which he turned the phrase, “I’m taking my talents to South Beach” a national catchphrase.

Just a few months later, Doug-las convinced her mom that she needed to move 1,200 miles across country from Virginia to Iowa to train with Liang Chow, who coached 2008 Olympic standout Shawn Johnson. Doug-las, who was talented yet bare-ly known, decided to leave her family and friends to stay with a host family and practice. Most people, even Chow himself, were skeptical that she had what it took to win gold.

Douglas and James are both athletes who made decisions that drastically changed their lives, decisions that they each thought were crucial to their dreams of becoming champions.

James was 25 when he made his decision. Douglas was 14 when she made hers.

James spent his two years closely watched by scrutinizing American fans as he attempted to weave his way back into the country’s good graces and bring Miami an NBA title.

Douglas spent her time under the stern regime of Chow and the critical gymnastics world, where she was constantly over-shadowed by gymnastics star Jordyn Wieber.

When it came time for the London Olympics, James had already redeemed himself with an NBA title. Douglas, mean-while, was seen as an inconsis-tent performer, incapable of dethroning Wieber, her Ameri-can teammate and the defending all-around world champion.

Douglas performed at her absolute best in London, nailing nearly all of her routines during preliminaries, team finals and all-around finals. She got tired as the competition dragged on and didn’t win any individual event medals, but that doesn’t change how she made history.

Douglas became America’s sweetheart overnight, as she wowed the world with her daz-zling smile, boundless ener-gy and flawless routines. She risked her entire childhood and truly embodied an American champion.

She’s known for her sassy personality, doing Dougie on national television and jaw-dropping release moves on the uneven bars, which is where she claimed the nickname of the “Flying Squirrel.”

Douglas made history as the first African-American wom-an to win the all-around gold medal and as the first American woman to win the all-around and team gold medal.

All three previous American all-around gold medal winners — Nastia Liukin (2008), Carly Patterson (2004) and Mary Lou Retton (1984) — claimed silver in the team competition.

Douglas’ success will inspire millions of young girls across the world, African-American or not. She has made a commit-ment to help inspire and educate young girls to be successful. And she’s only 16 years old.

This year also marks the 40th anniversary of Title IX, the law that leveled the playing field for female athletes and scholars.

Douglas would have been the perfect pick for Sportswoman of the Year. She truly embod-ies how much women’s athletic opportunities have advanced in the past 40 years.

James still has a ways to go before he’s the most accom-plished basketball player of all time, but Douglas can take the gymnastics crown.

OUT OF BOUNDS

BY ETHAN ASOFSKYSENIOR WRITER

Twenty-two years ago, West-ern Carolina head coach Larry Hunter, then the coach at Ohio, traveled an hour and 40 minutes to Cambridge, Ohio, for a Ford family dinner.

His recruiting target was cur-rent Bradley head coach Geno Ford, and sitting at the dinner table right next to him was Geno’s brother — current Illinois assis-tant coach Dustin Ford.

Both Fords went on to play for Hunter at Ohio, and Dustin even followed Hunter to Western Carolina, where he got his start coaching at the college level. He then returned to his alma mater

in 2009 to work on current Illini head coach John Groce’s Bobcats coaching staff.

As the No. 13 Illinois men’s basketball team seeks its ninth straight win and a chance to remain undefeated during Tues-day’s game against Western Car-olina, a small branch off Ohio’s long-standing coaching tree will dictate the sidelines at Assembly Hall. For the occasion, Groce has tasked his longest-tenured assis-tant with a responsibility that hits close to home.

Ford will be the Illini’s lead scout for Tuesday’s game against Hunter’s Western Carolina squad.

“I’ve known him since I was 12 or 13 years old. It goes back, way

back,” Ford said. “I’m grateful he gave me my start in the business. He gave me a chance to play at this level. He’s done a lot of things for me not only in my career but personally. He’s like a second dad, to be honest.”

Ford had difficulty comparing his mentor’s chiseled 20-year trek as a head coach to Groce’s five-year resume, but he said both are unique player-first coaches with top-flight preparation. That’s why Groce isn’t overlooking Hunter’s squad, which was picked in the preseason to finish second in the Southern Conference behind Davidson, who the Catamounts took to overtime in their confer-ence championship game last sea-son as both teams fought for an NCAA tournament bid. Davidson won the matchup and moved on to the postseason, but Western Caro-

lina returns seven of its nine play-ers from last season, including redshirt junior Trey Sumler, who is currently averaging 18 points and 4.6 assists per game.

“They’re older. They’ve got a lot of juniors, a lot of guys who were on that team last year,” Groce said. “They’ll be chal-lenging for sure. We’ll see mostly man-to-man, could see some zone, which at this point is good for us because we’ve seen all kinds of different styles of play, and that’s been good for our team’s develop-ment and growth.”

The Illini could also play some zone after matchup prob-lems during Wednesday’s game against Georgia Tech forced Groce to switch to a traditional 2-3 approach. The Yellow Jack-ets passed the ball into the post at will while the Illini were playing

man-to-man during the first half, but the Illini pressured the ball and forced crucial turnovers late in the game after Groce switched to a zone.

Illinois stuck with the zone for the latter part of the second half, playing 19 second-half pos-sessions (roughly 25 percent of Georgia Tech’s total offensive possessions) in the defensive for-mat. Western Carolina’s 6-foot-8, 245-pound junior Tawaski King could provide similar low-post difficulties as Georgia Tech’s big men, and if it becomes nec-essary to make a switch, the Illini will be ready with their second-ary defense.

“I don’t think teams were expecting us to play zone,” senior guard D.J. Richardson said.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Coach Lovie Smith says the Chicago Bears are still evaluating injuries to linebacker Brian Urlacher and several other players in Sunday’s overtime loss to Seattle.

Smith indicated Monday that Urlach-er pulled a hamstring on the game’s final drive, but backed away from that after a follow-up question. Urlacher told a Chicago TV station he was simply sore.

Either way, the Bears (8-4) are banged-up.They had already lost guard Lance Louis

to a season-ending knee injury in the previ-ous game and ruled out Devin Hester (con-cussion) and guard Chris Spencer (knee) during the week.

They lost a few more players in a 23-17 loss to Seattle.

Safety Chris Conte (illness) and receiver Earl Bennett (concussion) left the game, and cornerback Tim Jennings (shoulder) was injured on the final drive, a few plays before Urlacher hobbled off the field.

Urlacher came up lame in coverage on the game’s second-to-last snap, a 12-yard pass from Russell Wilson to Doug Baldwin

that put the ball on the 13. He was not on the field for Sidney Rice’s winning touch-down catch.

Would Urlacher have been able to return had the hamstring issue cropped up earlier in the game?

“Pulled hamstring?” Smith shot back. “What is your question again?”

Asked if Urlacher actually has a pulled hamstring, Smith said, “Hamstring injury to take you out of the game? I’m asking you. What is your question?”

Smith went on to say, “If you have an injury and you can’t play, we take you out of the game whenever that happens.”

Urlacher told Fox Chicago on Sunday night: “It’s not an injury yet. It’s just sore. It’s a little bit sore right now. It’s sore right now. That’s all it is is sore right now.”

The Bears’ next game is at Minneso-ta, their second against the Vikings’ in three weeks, and if Urlacher isn’t ready, Nick Roach would likely start at middle linebacker.

The hamstring problem is just the latest issue for the eight-time Pro Bowl player. Urlacher was sidelined almost all of the preseason because of a knee injury and

hasn’t been as explosive as he was in the past, although he did force an early fumble by Marshawn Lynch that led to the game’s first touchdown.

Injury-plagued Bears might lose Urlacher, but Smith won’t say yet “Coach Groce did a good job of

preparing us early in our prac-tice days. I like the 2-3 zone. I think it’s pretty active. The way he showed us 2-3 zone, I’ve never really played it like that.”

Actually, Richardson hasn’t really played zone much at all. The system is nearly extinct in college basketball aside from a few outliers, but Richardson and fellow senior Tyler Griffey both said it fit the current roster’s per-sonnel. Even in their final year with the program, the two seniors were willing to adopt a differ-ent style of play and embrace it to help the team. That’s been the force behind Groce’s style thus far, and for Ford, it’s oddly familiar.

“Both guys have won a lot. Both do it their own way,” Ford said. “At the end of the day they’re both really, really good coaches.”

Ford is the latest to instill top-flight preparation into his scout-ing. Maybe it’s just an Ohio thing.

Earlier this year, senior run-ning back Montee Ball made what he called one of the tough-est decisions of his life — fore-go the NFL for his final season at Wisconsin.

Having been told that he was a probable third-round pick affect-ed his decision to return, but one more chance to win a Rose Bowl after coming up empty in his sophomore and junior seasons was also in the back of Ball’s mind.

“Well, for me, that was one of the main factors coming back,” Ball said after Saturday’s 70-31 Big Ten championship game vic-tory over Nebraska in Indianapo-lis. “I felt like there was a lot of unfinished business I can prove and also for this team.”

An arrest for trespassing after refusing to leave a residence dur-ing the campus-wide event Mif-flin Street block party last May and a concussion sustained as a result of an assault by three men in an unrelated incident in August weren’t on the list of things to do in his final season.

While all the off-the-field hoop-la was going on, the Wisconsin athletic department was busy promoting the tailback’s Heis-man campaign, dubbed, “This Fall Belongs to Ball,” one sea-son after Ball finished fourth behind winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor.

The Badgers then started the season with a less-than-impres-sive 3-1 showing, which includ-ed close victories over North-ern Iowa, Utah State and UTEP, while mustering a mere seven points in a loss to Oregon State that aided in the eventual fir-ing of offensive line coach Mike Markuson despite head coach Bret Bielema having just hired him in January.

The Badgers’ sluggish offen-sive start in the first four weeks could also be attributed to the loss of six assistant coaches, four of which were on offensive end. On top of suffering his second concussion as many months in his team’s win over UTEP, Ball endured a lackluster start of his own. He gained over 400 yards, but had six less touchdowns than he had through four weeks last season.

Though the Badgers fin-ished the conference slate 4-4 (8-5 overall), including a blown 17-point lead at Nebraska and overtime losses to Michigan State, Ohio State and Penn State,

Ball eventually returned to form, amassing 1,168 yards and 15 touchdowns in the process.

The offensive lapses and the inability to close out games that plagued the Badgers all sea-son were absent in Saturday’s thrashing of the Cornhuskers.

“He obviously came up with a game plan,” Bielema said of offensive coordinator Matt Can-ada after the Badgers’ 640-yard, nine-touchdown performance. “I’ve been impressed with his creativity ever since I’ve known him.”

That creativity was on full display Saturday. The Badgers ran end-arounds, used Ball and fellow running back James White at quarterback, and had wide receiver Jared Abbrederis complete a pass to quarterback Curt Phillips, mirroring a play they ran in last year’s confer-ence championship, when Ball hooked up with former quar-terback Russell Wilson against Michigan State.

“It was a mixed bag,” Bielema said of the play-calling. “Matt

kept talking about having an indoor game, being able to exe-cute certain things.” He added with a smirk, “There were prob-ably a couple we haven’t used yet either that will remain a little secret.”

The Big Ten’s Rose Bowl Game representative has five losses and only reached the conference title game as a result of the ineli-gibility of Leaders Division foes Ohio State and Penn State for postseason play, but the Badgers took advantage of the opportuni-ty and provided the conference with another wacky outcome in 2012 — blowing out what was thought to be the best eligible team in the Big Ten.

“I don’t have a normal locker room,” Bielema said. “I’ve got a group of men that is uncom-mon in the way they go about their business. I knew the kind of room I had. That’s why today isn’t a big shock for me.”

The way Ball overcame the adversity and helped his team didn’t surprise the seventh-year head coach.

“I think when Montee made the decision to come back and spoke up last year in the Rose Bowl locker room, we all knew we wanted to get back to Pasade-na, (Calif.)” Bielema said. “When he did that, I think it spoke vol-umes to all the people around him.”

With losses in the past two Rose Bowls by a combined nine points, the Badgers’ unlikely appearance against Stanford will pit them as the underdogs once again.

“We love when people say you can’t,” Bielema said. “We heard it from a lot of different people. Lot of talking heads.

“You just quietly store it away. ... Kind of walk softly and car-ry a big stick. When you have a chance to take a swing, take it hard.”

With five weeks to prepare for the Cardinal, Ball’s and the Bad-gers’ hardest swing may be yet to come.

AJ MAST THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wisconsin running back Montee Ball holds up the Big Ten Championship trophy after Wisconsin defeated Nebraska 70-31 in Indianapolis on Saturday to guarantee a spot in the Rose Bowl.

Ball’s senior season includes running back’s 3rd trip to Rose Bowl

lant said. “How they practice is how they play, eventually, that’ll show.”

Bollant has especially been impressed with Smith’s recent performances, particularly in matchups against the oppositions’ point guards.

“I was really pleased that she showed a lot of (potential) this last week,” Bollant said. “She had 14 assists in one game and 17 points the other game against (a point guard) in the ACC and (another point guard) in the Pac-12 — high-ly regarded point guards.”

Smith attributed a lot of her improvement to Illinois’ new system.

“I love everything. ... I think it fits us so perfectly,” Smith said of Bollant’s up-tempo offense. “And our defense, I love the Buzz, it’s so exciting to play. Just the aggression that we have on both ends of the floor is just exciting to play in.”

As Smith has provided the dis-tributing, Crawford has helped ignite the scoring. She has emerged as the Illini’s second leading scorer at 16.1 points per game, which also ranks eighth in the Big Ten. Crawford has con-tributed on the defensive end as well — pilfering 2.1 steals per game, which ranks ninth in the conference — while upping her rebounding average to 5.4 per game. Her free-throw percent-age of 77.8 and 3-pointers made per game at 1.7 are good for 12th in the Big Ten.

While the sophomores’ have achieved unforeseen success to start the season, senior forward Karisma Penn said she expected them to step up.

“Before the season, I said that Alexis Smith was going to sur-prise people. I think she’s been doing that,” Penn said. “Ivory, I remember when I first watched her freshman year coming in, and everybody in the gym was just in awe of her talent, period.”

Although Penn said she expect-ed this kind of production from her teammates, Crawford didn’t even think she would improve this fast.

“I had no clue it was going to be this way,” Crawford said. “I knew that I was going to make a change, but I didn’t know it was going to be this type of way. I thought I was going to be more of a defensive player and just get more steals, but now I’m more of an all-around player, just con-stantly running the floor offen-sively and defensively.”

Penn said Crawford can be more consistent. The sophomore guard agreed, saying she must produce on a game-to-game basis. After scoring a career-high 32 points against Cleveland State, Crawford finished with only six points on 1-for-10 shooting in the next game against Tulsa.

“I need to work on just having that game like I did against Wake Forest and Cleveland State and just have that consistency as a leader because my teammates are willing to look up to me,” Crawford said.

Penn herself had similar suc-cess in her second season. She put up career-high numbers across the board, finishing the season averaging 17.3 points and 10.0 rebounds per game while break-ing the single-season blocked shots program record with 78. But Penn saw a sharp decline in her play during her junior year.

“You just have to have the want to (improve),” Penn said. “My (sophomore) year, I wanted it bad, I really wanted it. They have to have that same mentality every year and block out every-thing else. You know, just keep pushing through and fighting.”

Bollant said he doesn’t expect Smith and Crawford to slow down anytime soon.

“Those sophomores are going to be part of the core of this pro-gram,” Bollant said. “The excit-ing part is those guys getting better and having three years to build with them. And they’ve had to kind of be thrown into the fire because they have to play right now. They kind of grew up fast and learned on their way, and that’s a tough situation to be thrown in, but that’s where we’re at.”

ten hurt. There are hard times, but the good always outweighs the bad.”

As an athlete accustomed to playing a prominent role in his team’s success, spending the 2013 season, as a spectator won’t be an easy transition. His role as a vocal leader, however, should help ease the transition. Maestas served as one of the loudest members of last season’s national championship-winning team, providing morale support and securing his status as one of the more selfless members of Illinois’ roster.

Now that he’s limited to the sidelines, Maestas said, his voice will serve an even more promi-nent role.

“I’ve always been a leader on the team,” Maestas said. “Wheth-er I’m on the floor or not, I’m going to push these guys. I’m not going to isolate myself. This is my team, these are my guys. You could put me in a full-body cast and I’d still be wheeled out to be with them.”

If there is a positive to take away from Maestas’ injury, it’s that his absence from the 2013 season will allow for his training to smoothly lead into a potential appearance in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Mae-stas would have had to train in an environment less conducive to success than as an Illini had he finished his collegiate career in 2015.

With 2013 now serving as a gap year, Maestas’ senior season will take place in 2016, with the Olym-pic trials starting shortly after the end of the NCAA season.

“You don’t have a lot of oppor-tunities to get in and compete and raise your hand in front of a real judge for it to count very often once you’re out of the collegiate ranks because there’s not a lot of meets throughout the year domes-tically,” Spring said.

“I guess you could say I got hurt at the perfect time, you know,” Maestas said. “I don’t like to say that, but I still got three more years until the Olympics.”

The loss of Maestas is sure to hurt Illinois’ chances at repeating as national champions and, at the very least, diffuse the Illini’s No. 1 preseason ranking.

Spring pointed to the Illini’s depth, which proved to make the difference at last season’s NCAA Championships when both Mae-stas and standout Paul Ruggeri were unable to secure key points on the high bar. Maestas, ever the optimist, expressed confidence that Illinois’ quest to repeat as national championships is still intact.

Monday marked Maestas’ first day of rehab. He spent his first day out of the sling working on extending his arm, flexing and unflexing.

“I have so much faith in my team,” Maestas said. “They’re amazing, amazing athletes, and I hope my spirit is still in the gym. I know it is.”
