After the release of a report made by the Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure, stating that Steven Salaita’s appointment should be reconsidered, the Board of Trustees echoed its fi rm stance that he will not teach at the University.

In August, Salaita’s employment was rescinded, causing major uproar with-in the University as well as across the country, and sparking conversations on academic freedom. The com-mittee began an investiga-tion, and the results, support-ing a reconsideration, were released Dec. 23.

The committee was com-prised of seven Universi-ty faculty members from different colleges. David O’Brien, chair of the Art History program, currently chairs the committee. The report stated that Chan-cellor Phyllis Wise raised legitimate questions about Salaita’s “professional fi t-ness.” The report concluded Salaita’s candidacy should be reconsidered by a com-mittee of academic experts in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Less than two weeks lat-er, fi ve past chairs and vice chairs of the Senate Execu-tive Committee wrote a let-ter in response to the report. While members agreed with some points, they ultimate-ly argued that the decision not to employ Salaita should stand.

The next Thursday, the Board of Trustees issued a press release informing the

public that the University will not hire Salaita.

“On Sept. 11, 2014, con-sistent with the recommen-dations of the Urbana chan-cellor and the president, and after careful consideration and discussion, the board voted 8-1 not to approve that appointment,” the press release said. “That decision is fi nal.”

The press release went on to say that despite media reports about the commit-tee’s recommendation, Salai-ta’s employment will not be reconsidered and reiterated that the decision was made independently by the board after much deliberation.

In the meantime, the Asso-ciation of American Univer-sity Professors is preparing its own report on Salaita’s case.

Jordan Kurland, Associ-ate General Secretary for the Department of Academic Freedom, Tenure, and Gov-ernance of the AAUP, said a draft of the report will be sent to concerned parties on Friday.

Concerned parties include University offi cials, such as Wise and board members, along with Salaita and his legal counsel. The concerned parties are asked to respond with corrections and com-ments by Feb. 2.

The University sent eight representatives from the Illinois Student Senate to collaborate with other Big Ten schools at this year’s winter conference for the Association of Big Ten Stu-dents, ABTS. Student del-egates discussed campus and student government related issues at the event, held at Northwestern Uni-versity from Friday until Sunday.

The association’s mission is to create a network for student government lead-ers to share ideas with-

in the conference and to “serve as the active col-lective voice of students” of the Big Ten Confer-ence. They seek to achieve this goal through bi-annu-al conferences, an annual conference geared toward federal lobbying in Wash-ington D.C. and year-round communication among the 14 schools regarding the improvement of student government operations and general campus concerns.

Matt Hill, vice presi-dent-external, was one of eight representatives del-egated to attend the confer-ence from ISS. He said he believes ABTS is gaining infl uence, and that its con-ferences put the universi-ties in a position to commu-

The Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities was awarded a $2,050,000 grant by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to fund new fellowship programs in the areas of bio-humanities, environmental humanities and legal humanities.

“The grant will help us create really exciting research groups to develop all kinds of scholarly activi-ties in the three areas list-ed in the grant,” said Illinois Program for Research in

Humanities Director Dianne Harris. “It will also involve undergraduates who will be able to do research working together with graduate stu-dents and post-doctorates. This, all together, will cre-ate undergraduate certifi cate programs in those areas of humanities.”

Harris said the first research group will launch in 2016 and will work for two years until the next group launches in 2018. The pro-gram was invited by the Mel-lon Foundation to apply for the grant and worked close-

ly with the program offi cer. The program has previously received several grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foun-dation, including a post-doc-torate fellowship grant.

Janelle Weatherford, director of Foundation Rela-tions, assists faculty and administrators with their approach to the Mellon Foun-dation in support of human-ities and art-related initia-tives. Weatherford said the Mellon Foundation is one of the country’s largest pri-vate supporters of arts and humanities at higher edu-cation institutions. They also support performing arts organizations and art

BY JANE LEESTAFF WRITER

Two alumni-founded com-panies recently received funding to develop the digi-tal, entertainment and medi-cal fi elds.

The National Science Foundation awarded two Research Park-based compa-nies, BioAnalytics and Lum-enous, from its Small Busi-ness Innovation Research funding.

There are two phases to the program’s funding. According to the National Science Foundation, Phase I consists of a “short proof-of–concept/feasibility grant,” which is around $150,000 to $225,000. Companies must reapply for Phase II, which is a “longer developing grant” of $750,000.

“That funding is a really great source of funding for

small businesses because the federal government makes those awards and does not take any equity ownership in the company,” said Laura Frerichs, direc-tor of Research Park. “It is in essence, a grant or a con-tract to the company, which is a really nice source of money in the early stages to help de-risk the technology development.”

The Small Business Inno-vation Research funding comes from 14 agencies, the largest funders being the Department of Defense, the National Institute of Health and the National Sci-ence Foundation, Frerichs said. In total, she added, the agencies set aside 3 percent of the program’s extramural research budget to award to

BY HANNAH ALLAMTRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The leader of the U.S. del-egation to this week’s talks on normalizing relations with Cuba has a reputation for determination and exper-tise at the State Department.

Diplomats and Latin Amer-ica specialists describe Roberta Jacobson as a hard-charging stateswoman. As the assistant secretary of state for Western Hemi-sphere affairs, she over-sees 10,000 personnel in 30 countries.

Across the board, diplo-mats described her ascent to assistant secretary from the civil service, not the more specialized foreign service, as “exceedingly rare” and

“practically unheard-of.” Jacobson will be taking the

United States’ fi rst, ginger steps toward normalization after a freeze of more than 50 years.

Jacobson will arrive in Havana on Wednesday for several days of talks, the fi rst since President Barack Obama announced Dec. 17 that the two countries would restore diplomatic relations, which were cut in 1961. The meetings were scheduled before the policy shift was announced; for years low-er-level U.S. and Cuban offi -cials met to discuss a migra-tion accord. But dispatching Jacobson is a sign of the administration’s seriousness about changing course.

small businesses.“We had a really good

year for SBIR funding to the incubators,” Frerichs said. “In 2014, our companies in the incubator, 10 current companies, have received $5,983,000 with 12 separate awards from that federal program.”

BioAnalytics, a biotech-nology company, has been researching and creating a more advanced immunoas-say, a test that detects for-eign molecules in the body.

“The immunoassays have been around for 60 years, and a major problem with that, it has had all of these com-plex steps that people have tried to simplify it by using different detection agents,” said Luke Smith, CEO and research director of BioAn-alytics. “Our platform is by just switching out the anti-bodies that we use in (the immunoassay), we can apply it to whatever we want.”

An immunoassay can detect pathogens like E. coli and salmonella in food and water, cancer and pregnancy, Smith said.

Currently, Smith said, Bio-Analytics is in Phase I fund-

ing with $150,000 for six months of work, which will conclude in the beginning of July. He said BioAnalytics would then move onto part B of Phase I, which provides extra supplementary sup-port with an initial amount of $30,000.

Lumenous, the other recip-ient of the funding, works on improving projection map-ping technology. According to its website, the compa-ny has created technology for Microsoft, Disney and Adobe.

Frerichs said the compa-ny’s founders “became some of the leading experts on that type of augmented reality, internationally, and saw an opportunity to create a busi-ness around it.”

Lumenous could not be reached by press time.

Michael Willard, co-founder and COO of BioAn-alytics, said receiving this funding refl ects well on the University.

“As another company awarded at the U of I, I think that’s just a testament to the community and the kind of prowess that the institu-tion holds in the research community.”

museums. Nancy Castro, associ-

ate director for The Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities, said vari-ous people will participate in the new fellowship pro-grams. The research group will consist of a faculty fel-low, who will serve as a group leader, as well as two exter-nal post-doctoral fellows and four graduate students. Peo-ple with a Ph.D. that also fi t the necessary criteria in the subject area can apply. In addition, three undergradu-ate interns per year will par-ticipate in this group.

“The hope is that the fac-ulty fellow will cast a broad net for other scholars for working in these areas on campus,” Castro said. “This is a great hub for promoting intergenerational cross-polli-nation in these subjects and for bringing people who are thinking about these issues along all different stages in life or scholarly path.”

One main benefi t of the new fellowship program is the curriculum development at the University. Castro said a faculty member and the two post-doctorate fellows will teach courses in the second year, creating larger oppor-tunites for undergraduates to take courses.

In addition, Castro said the program benefi ts many graduate students who do a lot of work and are not always fi nancially supported.

“Its an enormous pleasure that due to the support of the Mellon Foundation we can provide these robust oppor-tunities for our graduate stu-dents,” Castro said.

Elyssa can be reached at [email protected].

nicate and network.“The momentum ABTS

is building as an organi-zation is becoming really big,” Hill said. “The col-laboration that is going on between the Big Ten is going to be unprecedent-ed because we have such a core set of student govern-ment leaders across the Big Ten right now. All the ideas we shared and learned will be huge going forward.”

Kevin Harris, vice pres-ident of community rela-tions for Northwestern’s student senate and coordi-nator for the 2015 Winter Conference, believes the conference met the goals it sought, particularly in terms of attendance.

“It was the second time ever we had all 14 Big Ten student governments repre-sented, the largest number of delegates ABTS has ever had, at 92,” Harris said. “It went a long way in terms of collaboration, and we got a lot of great feedback from everyone that came.”

The conference is orga-nized into breakout ses-sions and keynote speakers. Among the keynote speak-

ers this year was Sen. Dick Durbin.

Mitch Dickey, ISS presi-dent, said he believes the conference produced valu-able information to take back to campus, including student government’s rela-tions with the community.

“A takeaway (of mine) was buffi ng up communi-ty relations outside of just the campus area; our stu-dent government hasn’t done a good enough job of that in comparison to some of the other universities,” Dickey said. “Coming back, a lot of us were excited to start talking about get-ting involved with the city councils and the mayors, as well as with the rest of the community.”

Looking forward, Dick-ey said Illinois will most likely be sending students to Washington, D.C. in the spring to lobby at a confer-ence. Harris said the ABTS Winter Conference focused in part on preparing stu-dents for the spring lobby-ing event.

He said the annual lob-bying conference, called the Big Ten on the Hill event, is “a collective way to lobby for higher edu-cation issues” and meet with White House and

Department of Education representatives.

Students will be selected to participate in the lobby event in April.

ize and publish its report on the Salaita case.

Kurland added that until the report is fi nalized, he cannot comment on wheth-er legal action will be tak-en against the University. The AAUP is also in contact with Salaita, who could take action independently; how-ever, the organization was not at liberty to speak about Salaita’s future plans.

Salaita could not be imme-diately reached for comment.

As for the University’s future plans, it seems aca-demics will be working to move past the controversy and reunite the campus.

“I certainly hope we don’t see any similar cases in the near future, but the sooner we can agree on such poli-cies, the better,” Joyce Toll-iver, University professor and co-author of the CAFT response letter, said in an email. “What is urgent is that the campus commu-nity move forward to heal the wounds that have been opened by the responses to this case, and formulating such policies may help us to do that.”

Nick Burbules, SEC mem-ber and co-author, echoed Tolliver, adding that he and others hope to have some new policy ideas to present at the next Academic Sen-ate meeting. Regardless, Burbules said there needs to be an offi cial conversa-tion about the controversy.

“My own view is that we need a University-wide dis-cussion about our policies on academic freedom and free speech, to make sure that we have the right rules in place,” Burbules said in an email. “I assume the topic of social media and ‘public utterances’ would come up in that context.”

Robin Kaler, campus spokeswoman, said the Chan-cellor does not have any fur-ther comment on the Board’s decision.

Democrats push back with Keystone export and steel amendments

Senate Democrats said Tuesday they will push amendments to legislation approving the Keystone XL pipeline requiring that it is built with domestically pro-duced steel and that the oil it carries is used in the U.S.

“The project now would simply pump American oil across the American heart-land — not to be used here — but to be shipped overseas,”

Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, the Senate’s third-rank-ing Democrat, said.

With polls showing a majority of voters support-ing Keystone, Democrats have sought to undermine its purported benefi ts to the U.S. They argue that the oil from Alberta is destined for over-seas markets — an assertion disputed by pipeline builder TransCanada Corp.

BP faces $13.7 billion water pollution ! ne for 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill

The U.S. government argued that BP should pay the maximum environmen-tal penalty, $13.7 billion, in the fi nal phase for the Deepwater Horizon explo-sion, which spilled millions of barrels of crude into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.

“They continue to focus

on their own hardships,” Justice Department attor-ney Steven O’Rourke told U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, according to reports from the court-room in New Orleans. The judge has already ruled that BP acted with “gross negli-gence” in the disaster.

Islamic State threatens to kill Japanese hostages, demands $200 million ransom

BEIRUT — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Tuesday called for the immediate release of two Japanese hostag-es being held by Islamic State extremists seeking a $200-million ransom.

“I strongly demand that they not be harmed and that they be immediately released,” Abe, speaking through a translator, told

journalists in Jerusalem, where he was wrapping up a regional tour. “We will make all possible efforts to release our citizens as quickly as possible.”

The prime minister said he was immediately dis-patching his deputy to Tokyo. Japanese offi cials were reportedly consulting with other countries’ intel-ligence agencies.

Microso" handed FBI data linked to Charlie Hebdo probe in 45 minutes

Within an hour of being asked, Microsoft turned over data linked to the Charlie Hebdo probe to the FBI, Microsoft lawyer Brad Smith said in a speech delivered in Brussels on Tuesday.

The French government sought emails from two cus-tomer accounts as it pur-sued the Charlie Hebdo sus-

pects. Microsoft concluded that the request was “prop-er” and delivered it to the FBI in New York, all in 45 minutes, Smith said.

That showed private com-panies can cooperate with the government, accord-ing to Smith — though he added that extra snooping should only happen if strict-ly regulated.

Obama outlines plans to help middle classBY LESLEY CLARKTRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — Presi-dent Barack Obama worked to frame his fi nal years in offi ce Tuesday as a time of national recovery from unpopular wars and deep recession, striving now to help a middle class left behind by an otherwise grow-ing economy.

“It has been, and still is, a hard time for many,” he said in his second-to-last State of the Union address. “But tonight, we turn the page.”

He drew a broad portrait of a liberal economic program that would take billions from the wealthiest Americans and use it to fi nance a long list of programs for the work-ing and middle classes.

“Will we accept an econo-my where only a few of us do spectacularly well?” Obama asked a joint session of Con-gress gathered in the Capitol where he took offi ce exact-ly six years earlier. “Or will we commit ourselves to an economy that generates ris-ing incomes and chances for everyone who makes the effort?”

Speaking for the fi rst time to a Congress that is now entirely Republican-led, Obama suggested ways he could work with the House of Representatives and the Sen-ate, including on tax reform and trade.

But he also seized for him-

self — and presumably for 2016 Democrats — the ban-ner of income inequality, arguing that while the U.S. economy is recovering and Wall Street is booming, the middle class still needs a boost.

His speech suggested a framework for the coming campaign for a new presi-dent, one where top Republi-cans already signal they plan to stress the fact that the mid-dle class lost ground in the Obama years while offering conservative alternatives to boost jobs and wages.

Republicans, who took control of both chambers in November on a platform that included vows to cut spend-ing, had rejected many of Obama’s proposals before he began speaking.

“The American people aren’t demanding talking-point proposals designed to excite the base but not designed to pass,” Sen-ate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Tues-day on the Senate fl oor. “Chal-lenge us with truly serious, realistic reforms that focus on growth and raising mid-dle-class incomes .”

Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa delivered the Republican response, offering an alter-native vision of governing.

“We heard the message you sent in November — loud and clear,” said Ernst, whose November victory helped

Republicans take control of the Senate. “Now we’re get-ting to work to change the direction Washington has been taking our country.”

Obama called for $320 bil-lion in tax increases over the next 10 years, including fees on certain Wall Street com-panies, eliminating a “trust fund loophole” the White House says allows the super rich to pass on estates tax free, and raising the top tax on investment gains for the wealthy.

Obama proposed using the new tax revenues to make two years of community college free for students, tripling the child care tax credit to $3,000 per child, increasing the minimum wage, provid-ing workers with paid leave and creating a second-earner tax credit of up to $500 for families.

Obama appeared unchas-tened by the loss of Demo-cratic control of the Senate. Instead, he seemed bolstered by the rising poll numbers that have come along with a recovering U.S. economy.

The economy is now strong enough, he argued, that it needs to invest in the middle class .

“At every moment of eco-nomic change throughout our history, this country has taken bold action to adapt to new circumstances, and to make sure everyone gets a fair shot,” Obama said.

THE DAILY ILLINI

EDITORIAL

The start of a new semes-ter brings with it new pro-fessors, new school sup-

plies and new textbooks for our new classes.

Beginning my sixth semes-ter here, I look forward to the nostalgic, and always relax-ing, experience of going to the Illini Union Bookstore, browsing the endless shelves, picking up all of my required materials and waiting for what seems like hours in the long line to the cashier. The best part about this is receiv-ing the parting gift from the register of having my wallet violated by my efforts to get an honest education.

To avoid this whole pro-cess, I wish some Universi-ty professors would be more straightforward about just how “required” their class materials are.

The unfortunate truth is that the money I cough up at

the bookstore every semes-ter goes to heavy compila-tions of motionless black and white text that I will never lay my eyes on. Out of all of the classes I have taken so far at the University, only two have legitimately required me to open the assigned textbook to do well in the class. Many pro-fessors are thorough enough with their course informa-tion that the textbooks are unnecessary.

In addition to our tuition costs, our education requires other extensive expenses. But as a student who appreciates the opportunities and knowl-edge some of these expenses have bought me, I understand that a learning experience this valuable is not necessar-ily going to be thrown at me for free. But this appreciation only applies to the resources that I have actually used.

A class textbook is some-thing I am willing to pay for if it is an investment I will get some return from — whether in knowledge or in reselling.

However, much to the dis-appointment of me and many of my fellow students, the

only return investment we get from a majority of our textbooks is in using them as paperweights.

Professors should be familiar with these expens-es because the prices of our textbooks are nothing new. The cries of our wallets as we invest in expensive “required” materials have been heard all the way in Springfield. Illinois politicians have been working on funding efforts to use more open source materials in high-er education. If materials are actually required, it would be helpful if professors used more open source materials as they have free licenses to universal access.

I am not directing the blame for book expenses at publishers that make the books or even at the satanic bookstores that inflate their prices well above market value.

Rather, I am directing the blame for this superfluous and unnecessary investment at some of the professors at this university.

Dear professors: If you know that all of the informa-

tion we will need for the class will be provided in your Pow-erPoints and lectures, don’t assign us the responsibility of buying an expensive book we won’t open in the first place. If you know we don’t really need to use the book for your class — and I know that you know that we don’t — please respect us enough to tell us, or at least throw us a hint when you introduce the syllabus.

As broke college students, your honesty will be much appreciated.

In the past, I have had one honest molecular and cellu-lar biology professor inform the class that the required textbook wasn’t really neces-sary — an act that saved the class valuable money, time and effort.

Until the day when all pro-fessors are straightforward and truly understand the defi-nition of the word “required,” there are plenty of resourc-es for purchasing cheaper paperweights.

Time to move on from Salaita

controversy a!er board’s rea"rmation

On Thursday, the Board of Trust-ees reaf-

firmed that Steven Salaita will not be a professor at the University of Illinois. The decision is final de-spite reports and recom-mendations to reconsider the situation, and we are glad to put this situation behind us.

Over the past sever-al months, the University has been nationally crit-icized by the American Association of Univer-sity Professors, notable academics and students regarding Salaita’s with-drawn job offer after he posted a series of con-troversial tweets regard-ing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

We agree with these crit-ics that the University’s hiring procedures need some work, but it’s time to move forward, and the board’s reaffirmation of its September vote allows the University to do so.

A decision had to be reached, and the board de-cided to remain firm. Stu-dents, faculty and outside affiliates have debat-ed Salaita nearly every day since the start of the year. We’ve debated Salai-ta nearly every day in the newsroom since the start of the year, and the one thing we can agree on now is that it’s time for the University to learn from this and take a step for-ward.

In order to do this, the University will need to ad-dress the points raised by critics such as the Com-mittee on Academic Free-dom and Tenure. On Dec. 23, the committee released a recommendation for Salaita to be reconsidered by a group of “qualified academic experts.” They also urged that Salaita should be able to respond before another decision is made.

In an interview with The Daily Illini, Salaita said ideally he would “join the American Indian studies program and get to work. Then, I and the University of Illinois can put this be-hind us.”

Twenty-four days later, a decision was upheld despite these recommendations.

What the report shows is that people are still concerned. While Salai-ta won’t have a job on this campus, what about other future professors?

We think it is highly ben-eficial that professors are taking a look at the pro-cedure that was followed during the Salaita situa-tion, and that they contin-ue to seriously analyze the circumstances that sur-round this case. There is much to be observed, questioned and analyzed as details of the controver-sy slowly unraveled these last several months.

Our campus is full of in-credibly intelligent and talented people, and for a while, that image was overshadowed and in ques-tion by many. We hope that the University can learn from this and make neces-sary policy changes.

Over break, I’ll admit that I became almost obses-sive in researching dif-

ferent spring and summer internships.

It’s almost dazzling to look at all the opportunities out there for college students.

Over the fall semester, I took on my first internship experience. I worked as an LAS 101 Intern, meaning that I taught a course for college freshman on college-success strategies.

Because I intend to become a teacher, the internship was extremely professionally pro-ductive. I was able to teach a class of students and discover what I did well and which of my teaching skills needed the most development.

I received college credit for the internship, and it was the most independent and in-depth teaching experience I’ve ever had.

Although many college-lev-el internships are unpaid, they can be professionally produc-tive. Internships often allow students to gain meaningful experiences and make profes-sional contacts in their field.

Internships are not for any-one at any time. If you do have a heavy course load or have to work during the school year or summer, an internship may not be feasible. Under those

circumstances, it can be dif-ficult to contribute your best work to an internship.

But if you have the time, the potential level of professional development from an intern-ship is something that is hard to find elsewhere. Because of the many benefits, internships can, and should, be crucial aspects of any undergradu-ate career. In my experience, even most summer jobs or coursework don’t lead to the same degree of experience in your prospective field.

Internships frequently count towards school credit; some internships may even require simultaneous enroll-ment in a University course.

And of course, internships also communicate to future employers or graduate admis-sions counselors that you’re a student who is interested in doing more than expected and can balance numerous respon-sibilities at once.

So, consider the time and energy commitment care-fully. But, if you do find that you’re interested in an intern-ship, now is the time to begin looking.

Most summer internships have an application deadline in February, March or April.

Truthfully, it may not be too late for some spring intern-ships, either. Although the deadline for many programs will have passed, there are a few that have application deadlines around late January.

When searching for an internship over break, I utilized many University

resources to help me with the internship application process.

For example, I-Link is an extensive University resource and one of the most compre-hensive search tools avail-able for finding internships for University students. In addi-tion to finding postings for jobs and internships, you can also create a personal profile, view listings for career fairs and can keep track of poten-tial employers, contacts and job opportunities.

Further, if you are plan-ning on staying in the Urba-na-Champaign community for the summer, U Intern can also be helpful as it aims to con-nect students with nonprofit companies for summer intern-ships in the Urbana-Cham-paign area.

Further, you can check with your academic adviser about internships. Often, depart-ments post opportunities that are geared toward a specific major.

There are also other search tools that are helpful for find-ing internships that are not affiliated with the University like Internships.com, Idealist and Experience.com.

After I located a few poten-tial internships, I used other helpful University resources to make me an attractive can-didate for the job.

The Career Center at the University can help immense-ly. The Career Center web-site has entire pages devoted to the creation of profession-al resumes and cover letters.

The website also has sample resumes and cover letters that you can use to help format your own.

Most internship applications require at least a cover letter and a resume. Depending on the type of internship, some may require work samples, references or letters of rec-ommendation, which should be requested as far in advance as possible.

You should create a general resume and cover letter that detail your skills and experi-ences that can serve as a base, but each time you apply for an internship, be sure to send a resume and cover letter that is tailored specifically to that application.

Once you create your resume and cover letter, you can stop by the Career Cen-ter and sign up for an appoint-ment to have it peer reviewed.

For another editing service, especially dealing with spell-ing and grammar mistakes on your cover letters and resume, also consider using The Writ-er’s Workshop.

I understand that college students are busy people, but if you do come up with extra time during the upcoming semester or over the summer, consider an internship.

And when doing so, be sure to take advantage of all the University resources in both finding a program and submit-ting your application.

Everything is wrong in the world seeing as it’s grossly slushy and chilly outside, we’ve been separated from our parents’ home cooking, classes have resumed, and we aren’t able to sleep in anymore. Someone please call us the wambulance ASAP. Maybe it’s just the bad weather, but all of this just makes us want to drop out and cuddle with Netflix. However, for those looking for a silver lin-ing to this dark, looming cloud, at least it’s only a four-day week and it’s syllabus week to boot. All in all, though, win-ter break, we miss you dearly.

There are few things more enjoyable than chowing down on a beautiful, juicy, calorie-ridden double quarter-pounder burger. But evidently in Georgia that pastime comes with its implications when paired with driving. One man was recently ticketed for eating a burger while driving down a highway, in apparent violation of Georgia’s distracted driver law — a law which does not specify food. As the man stated, “Maybe I was enjoying the burger too much; I needed to tone it down.” We say there’s no such thing — you can’t just turn off the passion that comes with con-suming America’s favorite fast food item. And believe it or not, at least in our experience, chewing does not inter-fere with the ability to operate a car.

This February, the Oreo cookie is getting another flavor-lift with the addition of red velvet cookies. This is the straw that broke the camel’s back (or the cookie that busted the consumer’s already-tight pants). Mega Stuf, Triple Double Stuf, berry, watermelon, pumpkin spice, coconut, birthday cake and cookie dough are just some of their too many fla-vors. Why can’t we just return to the good old days when “The Parent Trap’s” Oreo-peanut butter invention was as crafty as you needed to get with such a simply delicious cookie? Make the flavor mayhem stop!

After several years of supposed begging, Justin Bieber is finally getting what he wants — a Comedy Central roast where he can essentially just get trashed on by a bunch of professional trash-talking comedians in front of millions of viewers. However, we can’t imagine the roast will be much different than what everyone’s already been saying about Bieber for years because if you look at most media cover-age of JBiebs, his life is already one, big, giant roast. We are also a little skeptical over whether the Comedy Cen-tral roasters will be able to do a better job at making fun of little Biebs than Zach Galifianakis did in an episode of “Between Two Ferns,” where one of Zach’s comments was, “You’ve had three hairstyles. What’s next for your career?”

It turns out being hap-py could lead to more than just feeling good — it could also be associated with good health.

A new study suggests a link between having a pos-itive attitude and being in better cardiovascu-lar health in comparison to people who are more pessimistic.

Researchers from the University of Illinois, Northwestern University, Chapman University, Har-vard University and Drex-el University conducted the research based on data gathered by the Multi-Eth-nic Study of Atheroscle-rosis, which followed and surveyed about 5,100 U.S. adults aged 52 to 84.

Over a span of 11 years, participants’ cardiovas-cular health was assessed based on factors such as blood pressure, physical activity, body mass index, blood sugar, cholester-ol, diet and whether they smoked or not. Their opti-mism levels were also cap-tured in a questionnaire.

Results of the study found that people with the highest levels of optimism were two times more likely to be in ideal cardiovascular health when compared to pessimis-tic individuals of the same age and sex.

Rosalba Hernandez, pro-fessor of social work at the University, is lead author of the study.

“I think the important thing (about this study) is that here we’re at least establishing a link, that there is some association,” Hernandez said.

While past research has looked into the effects that depression and anxiety can have on cardiovascu-lar health and has shown more optimistic people are less likely to experi-ence a heart attack, this

goes beyond those studies to demonstrate the positive outcomes of optimism.

“This ... examine(s) how a psychological asset — name-ly, optimism — can protect cardiovascular health,” said Julia Boehm, coauthor of the study and assistant professor of psychology at Chapman University, in an email. “Rather than just focusing on disease events, this study examines a more positive way to conceptual-ize health — not merely as the absence of disease, but as the presence of protec-tive factors.”

The study does not deter-mine whether optimism leads to better cardiovascu-lar health or vice versa, but future studies will examine causality.

“Because this study assessed optimism and cardiovascular health at the same time, we can’t say which causes the oth-er,” Boehm said. “That will have to be addressed in future research.”

Hernandez said this study gives researchers the abil-ity to continue to do experi-mental studies to establish a longitudinal association between the two factors and further validate a link.

She also said she’s inter-ested in further investigat-ing the effect race and eth-nicity can have on optimism.

Because an equal number of participants were select-ed from four ethnic groups — Caucasian, Latino, Asian-American and African-Amer-ican — Hernandez separated the data gathered from each group and looked at the link between optimism and heart health within each.

“Although not significant, we did see ... optimistic peo-ple in the Latino group were four times more likely to have ideal cardiovascular health,” she said. “So it kind of suggests that optimism in terms of heart health might even play a different role across different ethnic groups.”

Hernandez said this means future studies will need to disentangle not only why optimism and heart health are linked, but also whether the association dif-fers by ethnic group.

If anything, results of this research might be enough reason to start each day with a positive attitude.

recordings in 1920 in New York, which are the basis of the album.

Martin said Jones gets ignored for his role in the transition between the social dancing music that was popular in the 1910s and the jazz of the ‘20s, and this album shows the ten-sion in the arrangements.

“It’s got a lot of the old but it’s looking forward so it’s very exciting if you have a historical mind and an appre-ciation for the beauty of the arrangements,” he said.

Hennessey and Martin said their favorite album they produced was “Lost Sounds: Blacks and the Birth of the Recording Industry, 1891-1922,” which won a Grammy in 2006. They also cherish their experiences at the Gram-my Awards.

Hennessey said that on Saturday, the day before the televised event on Sun-day, there is a Grammy awards ceremony for life-time achievement awards

and technical awards. She explained that these are the awards they may announce on TV that were previously given out. She also said that there is no “velvet rope” on Saturday, so if you are famous and present, you are willing to talk to anyone you run into.

“Our first year, the Grateful Dead got a life-time achievement award, so there was the Grateful Dead sitting right next to us, and I congratulated one of them in line!” Mar-tin said.

Hennessey and Martin also recall meeting Kathy Griffin. Hennessey said they showed Griffin where to get her medal that all nominees receive.

“I was like you’re a G, I’m an H; I’ll get you to the front of the line!” she said.

This year Martin plans on taking his mother as his plus-one.

“I’ve had my fun, now I can take someone who might appreciate it and might enjoy something that we’ve done,” he said.

Martin said the big-gest challenge of having a

record label is promotion. He explained that shortly after they launched, they were featured in the New York Times.

“We didn’t know anything about it and the phone was ringing off the hook. I can’t tell you what that does for business!” Martin said.

However, he said that the coverage declined after about eight or nine years. Now the couple is develop-ing social media to get their name out there.

“Trying to raise aware-ness for something peo-ple have never heard of is a challenge,” Hennessey said.

Despite the obstacles they have faced, Hennessey said it is worth it when they are able to create some-thing cool.

“This stuff is really the ultimate alternative music,” Hennessey said. “It was recorded live and they couldn’t mess with it or change it ... it’s the opposite of autotune.”

BY SARA BAUKNECHTTRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

PITTSBURGH — This is home to the American Mus-tache Institute, and former Mustached American of the Year titleholder Adam Caus-grove of Mount Washington. Now, he’s in good company.

Conor Barrett, 25, of Point Breeze, Pa., is the Wahl Man of the Year for best facial hair in the nation. He was one of 12 finalists who went “face-to-face” for the title.

“I found out about a month ago, and I had to keep it a secret,” he says. “Now it’s a bit of a relief that I can tell people. So far, it’s been pret-ty wild.”

The public had the chance to vote for its favorite face of hair on Facebook, and that pick made up 40 percent of the score. The rest was based on a review by a judging pan-el, which ranked finalists on general enthusiasm for facial hair, media readiness and potential brand ambassador-ship for Wahl, which makes facial grooming products.

Barrett credits the sup-port of family members and friends — especially mem-

bers of the Steel City Beard and Mustache Club — for helping him secure the top spot.

Wahl visited places its research deemed to be the “Most Facial Hair Friend-ly Cities in America” (Pitts-burgh ranks No. 20 on the list) and brought along a mobile barbershop to scout men with the best beards and mustaches. Barrett’s full, burly beard earned

him the name of Wahl Man of Pittsburgh and got him in the running for the grand prize.

And the grand prize is (drum roll) ... $1,000, a national advertisement spot for Wahl grooming products and all the bragging rights and glory that go along with being Wahl Man of the Year.

“I’m coming after (Pitts-burgh Steeler lineman Brett) Keisel now,” he says.

A new group fitness class marches to the beat of its own drum.

The POUND class, which combines rhythmic drum-ming with high-impact workouts, will be taught by David Robertson at the ARC at 6 p.m. every Thursday.

Robertson, senior in Media, said the workout is “totally something new and inventive that we’ve never had at Campus Rec before.” The program is pioneering at the University because no other major university in the nation has a certi-fied program, according to Robertson.

POUND, created by drummers and fitness experts Kirsten Potenza and Cristina Peerenboom, uses Ripstix, which weigh twice as much as a stan-dard drumstick, according to Robertson.

“While that seems like a very small difference, when you’re waving those around in the air and hit-ting them together for an entire hour, the amount of work that you’re doing, the difference is huge,” he said.

Ripstix are provided with the class and are the only

special equipment required. They also provide a unique satisfaction.

“You’re actually hear-ing the work you’re doing,” Robertson said. “What a great way to relieve stress and anxiety from the week than hitting the floor and hitting the sticks together.”

Chris Hedlin, graduate student in English, partici-pated in the demos, which took place in the middle of December, and attested to the benefits of the sticks.

“I felt like using the drumsticks also helped me push myself,” she wrote in an email. “I sat deeper into my squats, for exam-ple, because it was fun to be able to hit the floor with the drumsticks.”

Working in time with the rhythm also distract-ed from the intensity of the workout and made it more enjoyable, according to Hedlin. The upbeat, mod-ern music was also a draw.

“I know some people think because we’re using drumsticks; the whole class might be rock music, but that’s not the case,” Rob-ertson said.

Some of the artists he uses include Skrillex, Brit-ney Spears, DJ Snake, Dil-lon Francis, Fitz and the Tantrums and Iggy Azalea.

Some other exercise classes license their own music or use low-quality covers of songs, accord-ing to Robertson. Purchas-ing all of their music from iTunes means this will nev-er be the case for POUND, because “the creators real-ly believe in supporting the

music industry,” he said.The instructors are also

encouraged to choreograph their own workouts in order to keep up with the newest releases, meaning workouts are frequently refreshed. Robertson said his class will be a mix of his own cho-reography and established workouts.

Playing the piano for 15 years and being involved with choir and musical theatre allowed a “perfect fusion of my love for exer-cise and all that musical background,” he said.

While the emphasis on rhythm is a natural appeal for musicians, Robertson said he plans to spend the first 15 minutes of the hour time slot to explain musi-cal terms like “4/4 time,” as well as the unique moves in each routine.

The workout tracks are categorized by muscle focus, according to Rob-ertson. Set tracks require doing all moves from a squat position and lunge tracks use a lunge posi-tion. TNA (thigh and ab) tracks entail lying on the ground for hip bridges and core work. Kick tracks tar-get hip flexors and use base kicks. All of these are com-bined with cardio to create an intensive workout.

Elyse Dillon, senior in AHS, also took some of the demo classes.

“It’s high intensity with tons of squats, lunges and core engagement,” she wrote in an email. “It’s a fresh and exciting new class that will break up any bor-ing workout routine.”

Out of Robertson’s other group classes Dillon has taken, she wrote this was the most challenging.

The class sizes have a capacity of 35 to 50 people, due to Ripstix availability. Though only one day a week is scheduled, more days could be added if there is high demand.

Robertson said he was drenched after his 25-min-ute demo, but the fun of the music and group set-ting makes the exertion less noticeable.

“It’s really rewarding when the whole class is doing it together,” he said. “It’s so cool to hear every-one hitting on the same beat and you totally forget that

you’re exercising and doing a workout.”

Anyone can participate Thursday during Campus Rec’s free week, which began Tuesday and runs until Jan. 27. Students who want to continue will need to purchase a group fitness pass for the semester.

Robertson recommends standard workout clothes such as leggings, yoga pants and basketball shorts. Though some tracks are shoes-optional, he suggests footwear due to the intensi-ty of most of the routines.

Robertson said he was excited to bring POUND to campus and be on the cut-ting edge of fitness trends.

“I think it’s going to be

something that people who are looking to lose weight will be drawn to, or people who just want a musical out-let, or people who just real-ly like awesome music,” he said.

Meagan Hennessey is a manag-er of web services for the College of Business, updating websites and helping faculty with their sites. But what people may not know is that she won a Grammy — and may have another on the way.

With husband Richard Martin, Hennessey owns Archeophone Records, which means the archae-ology of sound. Since launching the label in 1998, the couple has pro-duced and restored albums from the years 1890 to 1925, known as the acoustic era of sound. Their albums have earned 11 nominations at the Grammy’s, five for their music and six for their writers’ album notes. In August, Hennessey and Mar-tin released the album “Happy: The 1920 Rainbo Orchestra Sides,”

which has been nominated for Best Historical Album and Best Album Notes at the 2015 Grammy’s.

“We kind of backed into it – (we) began to wonder what happened before rock n’ roll and began col-lecting records,” Hennessey said. “At some point we realized that they were at risk of not being preserved and no one was going to hear them or know about the music unless we started putting them out.”

Martin said he feels a special con-nection to the era of music because no one else in the world is focus-ing on it.

“We are the only place to get this material so we are very happy to have that advantage. We feel that is has been underrepresented, under-served, misunderstood, underappre-ciated, and we are aiming to open it up,” he said.

Martin explained that the acous-tic era of sound is different from the music of the late 1920s and 1930s because it was made without elec-tricity. He said it is just the power of the singer’s voice and instruments.

“We think it is beautiful. It has its own charm to it,” he said.

As the cofounders and only employees of the record label, Hen-nessey and Martin juggle many responsibilities. Martin focuses on the restoration of the records, trans-ferring them to digital and doing distribution. Hennessey, in addition to her job at the University, works on the website and the e-commerce side of the business.

Together, the couple works on research, layout and design. They also search for records together.

Martin said that when they start-ed nearly 20 years ago, they visited

a lot of flea markets, haunted hous-es and antique malls. However, he said records are now long gone from most of those places.

They now look to online and pri-vate auctions.

“We have forged really close rela-tionships with some world class col-lectors, and they are very interested in preserving American history,” Martin said.

Their latest Grammy-nominat-ed album, “Happy,” reflects this history.

Martin explained that the musi-cian, Isham Jones, was a Chicago staple who had a band called the Rainbo Orchestra. He was well known for songs like “It Had to Be You” and “I’ll See You in My Dreams.” Jones made his first

Sitting at 2-4 in Big Ten play, the Illinois women’s bas-ketball team and head coach Matt Bollant are already forced to adjust to a major bump in the road. Senior guard Ivory Crawford has now been sidelined for a week with a knee injury.

“Obviously, the injury to

Ivory (Crawford) is a big deal to us, she’s kind of our senior leader and has that toughness and made a lot of plays down the stretch, and I think that really hurt us in the Nebraska and Michigan State games,” Bollant said.

Crawford is the team’s leading scorer, averaging 15.9 points per game and is in the Illinois program’s top

20 all-time for points. Craw-ford’s absence has been apparent in the Illini’s three straight losses without her, only scoring a high of 56 points in any of those games.

“Honestly, we need to make more plays,” Bollant said. “I look at Kyley (Sim-mons) and Brittany (Carter) and Jacqui (Grant) in the past three games, they haven’t

been great.”Freshman guard Amarah

Coleman has stepped into the starting lineup in Crawford’s place and helped carry the load on the offensive end. In the Illini’s most recent game, Crawford posted 24 points in a loss to Maryland. Cole-man and post player Chatrice White have responded well to their high levels of responsi-

bility as freshman.“I’m excited about our

freshman, if you look at our leading scorers in the Big Ten after six games, our top three scorers are two fresh-man and then Ivory (Craw-ford),” Bollant said.

Not only does more respon-sibility fall on the shoulders of the freshmen with Craw-ford stuck on the bench, but

it also shortens an already tight rotation. Freshman guard Brooke Kissinger and senior Taylor Tuck have seen minutes off the bench spo-radically, but will most like-ly become more involved in rotation until Crawford returns.

The defense needs to be better.

That was Illinois head bas-ketball coach John Groce’s thought following an 80-74 loss to Indiana on Sunday — a game his Illini team let go in the final minutes.

Illinois couldn’t put a stop to a 13-2 Hoosiers run that ended the game and handed the team to its fourth confer-ence loss. It was the fourth loss in six games for a strug-gling Illini squad.

But the trouble isn’t over for Illinois. A 7-foot A.J. Hammons will likely give the Illini a headache under the basket Wednesday night when Illinois (12-7, 2-4 Big Ten) hosts Purdue (11-7, 3-2).

The junior center has aver-aged 6.2 rebounds per game and just over 10 points, while leading the Big Ten with 45 blocks this year. Illinois’ Nnanna Egwu is averaging just over five rebounds and has struggled as of late.

Egwu fouled out of Sun-

day’s loss to Indiana with just two rebounds and no points in 27 minutes — a performance Groce said wasn’t up to par.

The senior center’s 102 rebounds in 19 games is third on the team behind guards Rayvonte Rice (105) and Mal-colm Hill (103).

Indiana head coach Tom Crean said Egwu’s perfor-mance is about more than statistics.

“Egwu, to me, is as versa-tile, valuable and as mobile as any big I can think of,” Crean said after Sunday’s game. “It’s not about points and rebounds. It’s about his action.”

Crean said Egwu’s mul-tiple efforts are key to his impact on games.

His efforts are subtly translating onto the stat sheet, though. Egwu’s team-leading 32 blocks this season give him a career total of 174 — just three shy of tying the Illini record for blocks in a career.

And Illinois might finally get help for Egwu in forward

Leron Black, who has steadi-ly improved throughout the season.

“He’s making fewer and fewer mistakes everyday,” Groce said of the freshman.

Black had nine rebounds and eight points Sunday against Indiana.

“He’s definitely getting better,” junior guard Ahmad Starks said. “He always brings that aggressive inten-sity to the game. We always like that.”

Offensively, the Illini have been impressive on the court. Behind the hot shooting duo of Starks and sophomore Kendrick Nunn, the Illini made 20 3-pointers in the past two games combined, scoring more than 70 points in each.

Purdue ranks last in the Big Ten in opposing team’s 3-point percentage and has allowed an average of 65.3 points per game this season, 11th in the conference.

“Those shots will come all year,” Starks said.

But if the Illini defense

continues to struggle in con-ference play Wednesday, they’ll need those shots to count.

Illini looking to turn the tide vs. Purdue

JOSEPH LEE THE DAILY ILLINI Illinois forward Leron Black goes up for a shot against Indiana at State Farm Center. The Illini lost Sunday’s game 80-74 and have lost four of their last six games, struggling defensively.

Sunday’s basketball game between Illinois and Indiana featured

long stretches of exciting basketball, with free-flow-ing offenses and not much quality defense.

Expect Wednesday’s matchup between Purdue and Illinois to play out in opposite fashion.

The Hoosiers had quick, athletic players who were all capable of filling it up from long range. But they had virtually no size in their frontcourt. John Groce’s Illini will get a dif-ferent look Wednesday, as Purdue brings size and strength to State Farm Center.

If history is any indi-cation, the Boilermakers will attempt to play sti-fling perimeter defense and get away with as much hand-checking as possible. They’ll turn the game into 40 minutes of gritty, grind-it-out play, which won’t be easy on the eyes of your average fan.

This strategy has worked well against Illinois in Matt Painter’s time at Pur-due. The Boilers have won nine of their last 10 games against the Illini, includ-ing four of their last five in Champaign. They’ve owned Illinois the past decade, and Painter is 12-5 against the Illini in his career.

Every year, I’m guilty of foolishly penciling in Purdue as a “W” on the

schedule before the season even starts, and every year Purdue punks Illinois. I’ve finally learned my lesson, and am certainly not com-fortable predicting an Illini win Wednesday.

I might not be writ-ing with confidence, but that doesn’t mean I don’t expect the Illini to play with confidence. Their play was poised and composed against Indiana until the final two minutes of the game. They withstood mul-tiple Hoosier runs and hit back with scoring bursts of their own, even when a second-half deficit reached double digits. Even though Illinois didn’t hold on for the win, it was an overall encouraging performance out of a team missing its best player.

In Rayvonte Rice’s absence, sophomore guard Kendrick Nunn has stood tallest, averaging 17 points over his last four games. That includes a 25-point performance against Nebraska and a 24-point showing against Indiana; he shot 17-of-26 overall and 10-of-17 from three during those two contest. It’s hard to even tweet about Nunn these days without using the fire emoji.

Malcolm Hill has also been consistently good, averaging 15.5 points and 5.3 boards since Rice’s Jan. 5 hand injury. The Illini will have to continue to rely on Hill and Nunn to provide the brunt of the scoring until Rice’s return, and the sophomore duo will have to overcome Purdue’s

JOSEPH LEE THE DAILY ILLINIIllinois' Malcom Hill goes up for a layup against Indiana at the State Farm Center on Sunday. Hill has been one of the key contributors without injured Rayvonte Rice.

Illinois athletics is known for producing profes-sional athletes. Deron Williams and

Rashard Mendenhall are the two who immediately come to mind as success-ful Illini in the pros, but a seemingly unrecognized pro is tennis player Kevin Anderson.

Currently ranked at No. 15 in the world, it’s hard for me to imagine why Anderson isn’t well known around campus. He’s totaled more than $4 mil-lion in career prize money

and reached the fourth round at the French Open, Australian Open and Wim-bledon, the first player to do so from his native coun-try of South Africa.

At Illinois, Anderson fin-ished the 2005-06 season ranked fifth collegiately and advanced to the semi-final of the NCAA singles tournament.

The 2015 Australian Open kicked off Mon-day and Anderson is once again representing the Orange and Blue in the tournament.

Because tennis players start to compete in tourna-ments in their early teens, many professional tennis players elect not to play in college. Anderson is one of the few exceptions and it’s

refreshing to see. Another tennis star who competed in college is John Isner, who attended Georgia at the same time Anderson was at Illinois.

The big-serving Ander-son opened the tourna-ment with a first-round win against Diego Schwartz-man, 7-6, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4. Up next is a second-round date with Ricardas Beran-kis on Wednesday.

Anderson will look to build off his strong 2014 season and advance to a quarterfinal in a Grand Slam, something he has never accomplished in his career.

Another Illini connec-tion at this year’s Austra-lian Open is tournament director Craig Tiley, who

was the head coach for the Illinois men’s tennis pro-gram for 11 years, starting with the 1994 season. Tiley led the Illini to an unde-feated 2003 campaign, cap-turing the national cham-pionship along the way.

As tournament direc-tor, Tiley is in charge of many aspects of the event. Australia is known for its scorching summer heat, and one of Tiley’s influ-ences on the tournament is the introduction of a third retractable roof on Mar-garet Court Arena at Mel-bourne Park, the event’s site. This addition makes the Australian Open the first Grand Slam site to have three roofs.

In a tournament that features greats like Rog-

er Federer and Maria Sharapova, Craig Tiley is an important man in the tennis world this month.

Anderson and Tiley experienced major success at the U of I, and people on campus should familiarize themselves with the two by watching the Austra-lian Open these next two weeks.

It’s crazy to think two former Illini would have such great impact on the tennis world, but Ander-son and Tiley are making Champaign-Urbana and this campus proud.

pesky defense for Illinois to come out on top.

Senior Ahmad Starks and freshman Leron Black both recorded their most impactful games in Illi-ni uniforms Sunday, with Starks scoring 19 points and Black recording eight points and nine rebounds. While those performanc-es were great off the bench, the starters they subbed for (Aaron Cosby and Nnanna Egwu) both went scoreless. The Illini need production from their starters as well, or solid showings from the bench will go to waste.

The challenge for Illinois will be containing Purdue’s massive front line. Centers A.J. Hammons and Isaac Haas are both seven feet tall, and players like Rapha-el Davis and Kendall Ste-phens (6-foot-5 and 6-foot-6, respectively) will stretch an Illini team that essentially starts four guards. Groce will have to get creative on defense, and don’t be sur-prised to see more zone than usual to compensate for size mismatches.

The Purdue basket-ball program has declined in the last several years under Painter, even if the results against the Illi-

ni don’t reflect it. Though Painter has a scrappy team this year, the Boilers are probably not making the NCAA tournament. If Illi-nois is going to get back to the level that Groce and fans aspire to reach (regu-larly making the NCAA tournament), Purdue is a team the Illini need to con-sistently beat.

Illinois’ NCAA tourna-ment hopes for this sea-son have taken a hit, but they’re still alive. A home loss to Purdue would put them on life support.

(depth),” Bollant said. “We’ve tried a lot of different kids over the last few games and we’re searching for who’s going to help us off the bench, who’s going to be consistent, and I don’t think we’ve found that yet,”

For Bollant, the issue

comes down to a matter of trust. Crawford has been one of the most dependable play-ers in the program for years and is one of the few impact seniors on the current roster. This means Bollant and his staff are putting their trust in younger players and trans-fers who are still feeling their way through the program and the Big Ten, only six games into conference play.

“We’re having to trust a lot of kids that are putting on an Illinois uniform for the first time and that’s a challenge, to be really consistent,” Bol-lant said.

As for Crawford’s return to the court, it may come soon-er than expected. The initial time table was about four weeks for recovery. Bollant said it looks like Crawford is on pace to be back in uniform

closer to three weeks total. “It’s hard to know right

now, but she’s ahead of sched-ule, so we’ll see,” Bollant said. “I know she’s anxious to get back on the court and obvi-ously we’re anxious to have her back as soon as possible.”

Not all members of the ’85 Bears corroborate the tales of widespread abuse of painkillers and other drugs as chronicled in this week’s “Real Sports” on HBO.

Former Bears coach Mike Ditka and quarterback Jim McMahon, among others, said that the abuse contrib-uted to many of the former Bears players being severely debilitated now.

McMahon, Richard Dent and Keith Van Horne are part a group of former players who accused the league in a law-suit of supplying them with strong painkillers and other drugs that allowed them to play but ultimately negatively impacted their lives. The law-suit seeks unspecified dam-ages on behalf of more than 500 former players.

“As far as McMahon, when did he play?” quipped Bears Hall of Famer Dan Hampton during an interview with the Tribune on Tuesday.

Hampton often feuded with McMahon because he felt the Super Bowl XX quarterback was unwilling to play hurt.

“When was he getting them? When he was in the hot tub? I don’t remember him playing that much.

“I’ve got to be complete-ly honest. I am just at a loss. And I think I have made the analogy that a soldier, 30 years later, says: ‘Hey, they made us carry guns.’ I mean, that was part of the business. ... I always said that the day I walked into the Chi-cago Bears locker room for the first time, it was the last time I felt good. After that it was a war of attrition due to the contact, due to the extent

of games and the practices.”Hampton and former Pro

Bowl safety Gary Fencik acknowledge that painkillers were available, but it was up to the individual discretion of the players not to abuse them.

“I think that if you want-ed it, you could get it,” said Fencik, who played with the Bears from 1976-87 and is the franchise’s all-time leader in interceptions. “But I don’t have any experience to really make that anything but a qualified statement. I feel pretty fortunate that I thought the care that I got was good.”

“I saw someone was talk-ing about painkillers (being on planes) coming back from away trips with a lot of liquor. Yeah, people did have beers and I took a lot of anti-inflam-matories. But as far as the wider use of painkillers ... I am not being naive. I knew it happened. I just don’t know whether or not it was abusive or not.”

Hampton agrees.“Fred Caito, our trainer,

did a masterful job of know-ing where that line was,” Hampton said. “Certain play-ers, obviously, were very ... some of them had blisters from running routes. They are not going to have all of the skeletal aches and ail-ments like I do when I am getting hit from different directions and double teams and all that.”

Caito, now retired and liv-ing in Ohio, declined to com-ment when contacted by the Tribune Tuesday.

“(Caito’s) job was to admin-ister and adjudicate who needed some pain medica-tion and who didn’t,” Hamp-ton said. “How many players

came through there? He had to basically be the arbiter of knowing if somebody was abusing these pain medica-tions, or do they have to have them in order to show up for practice and be able to get ready for a game properly.”

Hampton also acknowl-edged the access to painkill-ers and alcohol on the planes.

“You know, we would get on the plane after a game and every seatback would have two cans of beer. Some guys wanted to drink beer, some guys didn’t. Every year in training camp I would have to find all of the Christian guys that didn’t drink. Those

extra beers on a flight would come in handy.”

But Hampton disavowed the notion that players were coerced to abuse any sub-stances. He said he used painkillers only to perform better on the field.

“I hate to say it, but they are (taking) the dumb jock (stereotype) to a new low. I shake my head. I could not have functioned as well as I did without the help of some of the medications,” Hamp-ton said.

“They are my teammates from long ago and I wish them well. But the truth is the truth.”

The Ravens moved quick-ly to replace Gary Kubiak, announcing Tuesday after-noon that they have hired former Chicago Bears head coach Marc Trest-man as their new offensive coordinator.

The announcement comes a day after Kubiak was offi-cially announced as the Den-ver Broncos’ head coach. Ravens coach John Har-baugh, who is in Arizona preparing to coach one of the Pro Bowl teams, inter-viewed Trestman and for-mer Broncos offensive coor-dinator Adam Gase for the position on Monday.

Trestman, 59, coached the Bears the previous two seasons, compiling a 13-19 record. He was fired earlier this month after the Bears completed a 5-11 season.

“Marc is a very cerebral guy,” said former Ravens head coach Brian Billick, now an NFL Network ana-lyst. “I would imagine he and Joe (Flacco) would get along very well. Both have that calm, cool demeanor. Again, Marc would have to show some flexibility, even to the degree of using the same verbiage.”

Known for his ability to get the best out of quarter-backs, Trestman has exten-sive experience at several levels. He was the offen-sive coordinator/quarter-backs coach for the Cleve-land Browns in 1988 and 1989, and that Browns team included current Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome.

He’s also had stints as the offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, Arizo-na Cardinals and Oakland Raiders.

After two years as the offensive coordinator at North Carolina State, Trest-man coached for five seasons in the Canadian Football League, where he won two Grey Cups as the head coach of the Montreal Alouettes.

He’s helped numerous quarterbacks, including Ber-nie Kosar, Rich Gannon and Jake Plummer, earning the nickname of the “quarter-back whisperer.”

His task will be to contin-ue the momentum that the Ravens built offensively this past season. Quarterback Joe Flacco had one of the best seasons of his career, and the Ravens set fran-chise highs in total points and yards.

Gary Kubiak said he sat down with his wife, Rhon-da, shortly after the Ravens’ AFC divisional playoff loss to the New England Patri-ots, and they decided that he was going to turn down oth-er head-coaching interview requests because he wanted to remain the offensive coor-dinator of the Ravens.

But he acknowledged Tuesday that everything changed when his close friend and former team-mate, Denver Broncos gen-eral manager John Elway, called Ravens coach John Harbaugh and expressed an interest in talking to Kubiak for his head-coach-ing vacancy.

“I was very comfortable saying, ‘No, I’m going to con-tinue this path that I’m on

and keep going,’ but this is a game changer. It’s as sim-ple as that,” said Kubiak, who had declined to interview for the New York Jets and Chi-cago Bears’ head-coaching jobs, and said the Broncos’ opening was the only one that would have gotten him to leave Baltimore.

“That’s the same word that I think I used to coach Har-baugh when we talked after John had called and asked permission to visit with me. This is where I got my start. This, like I’ve said over and over again, is home for me. This means so much for me. ... This was a chance of a lifetime.”

Kubiak, 53, was intro-duced as Denver’s new coach during a news conference at the Broncos’ headquarters during which team president Joe Ellis called him a “per-

fect fit to be our head coach.”Kubiak, who had spent 20

seasons with the Broncos as either a player or assis-tant coach, replaces John Fox, now the head coach of the Chicago Bears. Elway acknowledged that Kubiak was the Broncos’ top choice from the day that the organi-zation parted ways with Fox after a disappointing playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

“Our concern was did (Kubiak) want to do this again,” Elway said. “Once we got to sit down and talk to him, there was no question in my mind that he wanted to be the head coach of the Denver Broncos.”

Kubiak started his com-ments by thanking the Ravens, specifically men-tioning Harbaugh, team own-er Steve Bisciotti and gener-al manager Ozzie Newsome.

The Ravens hired Kubiak as offensive coordinator last January after Jim Caldwell left to become the head coach of the Detroit Lions. At the time, Kubiak was about a month and a half removed from being dismissed as the Houston Texans’ head coach, and he was still recovering from a major health scare.

“That was extremely important to me,” Kubiak said. “It’s been a heck of a year for this guy, and with-out that organization giving me an opportunity at about this same time last year, I probably wouldn’t be here today. I really want to thank Steve, Ozzie, John, the play-ers, the organization. I was proud to be a part of them and I appreciate the oppor-tunity that they gave me. It was a wonderful experience. I learned a great deal.”

With Kubiak calling the plays, the Ravens set fran-chise highs in points and yards, quarterback Joe Flac-co had arguably the best season of his career, and the team’s running game became formidable again. But in his news conference, Kubiak stressed how much he learned from the Ravens.

“I really can’t explain the value of last year for me as a coach,” he said. “Being around John Harbaugh, being around that organi-zation, being around Ozzie Newsome, and watching them go about their business, how they go about being suc-cessful week in and week out. I take all that as I move forward. I know that I’m a lot better coach now than I was when I left.”

Kubiak now will assemble his coaching staff, which will

include former Ravens assis-tants Rick Dennison as offen-sive coordinator and Brian Pariani as tight ends coach.

Also on Kubiak’s agenda is a sit-down meeting with record-setting quarter-back Peyton Manning, who hasn’t decided whether he will return to the Broncos for another season.

“I want to be the best sup-port system that I can be for Peyton. We’ve had some great conversations and I want to have many more,” Kubiak said. “It’s easy to build a playbook for him. He’s been a master at it for many, many years. You’re talking about a Hall of Fame player, a Hall of Fame per-son....This is his time, his decision, and I need to be here for him in any way I can. That’s what I have planned.”

The Illinois men’s tennis team‘s season came to an end last year in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament. It fell 4-0 in only its second shutout loss of the season. Both of those losses came against the same team: the Baylor Bears.

Baylor was a thorn in the Illini’s side last year. Led by two top-15 players in Julian Lenz and Patrick Pradella, the Bears effectively shut down a highly-ranked Illinois team. Now it’s a new season, and after last year’s defeats, the No. 11 Illini are headed to Waco, Texas, to take on No. 6 Baylor in an early-season dual meet.

“We have a lot of respect for their team and feel like we want to give our guys a great challenge here early in the season,” head coach Brad Dancer said. “We came here to win this match.”

No. 40 Tim Kopinski played in both of the team’s match-es against Baylor last year, falling to Pradella, who has since graduated, and Diego Galeano. Kopinski already faced the Bears’ best player this fall in the Round of 16 at the ITA All-American Cham-pionships. Then-No.1 Julian Lenz defeated Kopinski in a hard-fought match 6-7 (2),

6-2, 7-5. Kopinski said in the fall that he had his chances in the match but couldn’t finish Lenz off. Now he may have the chance for an early sea-son rematch.

Both Kopinski and Lenz kicked off their spring sea-sons last weekend. Lenz had a seven-match win streak snapped that dated back to the first round of the All-American Championships in November. Kopinski went 1-1 against Memphis’s top-two players at the Illini Invite in Fort Myers, Fla. The Illi-ni finished 17-6 overall in the tournament.

Baylor will see some familiar faces as Illinois returns every player from last season’s roster. But Illi-nois has also added some impact freshmen in No. 44 Aleks Vukic and No. 62 Aron Hiltzik. Both earned individ-ual rankings after strong fall seasons and Vukic went 5-0 at the Illini Invite. The Illini have four players ranked in the ITA Top 125, compared with Baylor’s three.

Baylor started its spring season with an 18-11 mark at the Sherwood Collegiate Cup in Thousand Oaks, Calif., last week. It faced some of the top teams in the NCAA, including reigning national champion and cur-rent No. 1-ranked USC and No. 4 UCLA. Four of the six singles players who defeated the Illini in the NCAA tour-nament are back this year for the Bears.

While the Illini feature mostly American-born play-ers, for Baylor it’s the oppo-site. The Bears only have two Americans on their ros-ter and neither played a sin-

gle match in the fall season. Eight of Baylor’s 10 players hail from Europe or South America. It’s a different approach from Dancer, who said in the summer that he takes pride in having such a domestic and Midwestern-based team.

“They’re two different phi-losophies on how to build a program and we have a lot of respect for what they’ve been able to accomplish,” Dancer said. “They’ve got great players and they’re well-coached.”

For now, Dancer is ready

to see how the Illini respond in a match against the team that eliminated them last year. While it’s still just the first dual meet of the season, Dancer says the Illini are in Waco to win.

“We know it’ll be a long season; we know we have lots

of great challenges in front of us after this match,” Dancer said. “But we’re coming here to win this match.”

The players came out for pregame layups with little buzz in the crowd. As with many minor league sports, the game itself wasn’t the focal point to many in attendance.

For many youngsters it was a fun night out, watch-ing the 76ers NBA Devel-opmental League team, the Delaware 87ers (known as the Sevens) compete, while also participating in other activities that were offered while the game was being staged.

The players view it as much more, a way to lift themselves out of obscu-rity and into basketball’s big time.

When the Sevens take the court at the Bob Car-penter Center at the Univer-sity of Delaware, it’s at least theoretically a chance to get one step closer to fulfilling a lifelong dream, so nothing but the game itself matters.

The players are willing to toil in relative obscurity, for little pay, less fanfare. For many, it’s a step down from their college days, where in many instances the gymna-siums were packed, the tele-vision lights blaring.

“It’s a humbling experi-ence,” said 87ers point guard Nolan Smith, a former first-round draft choice of the Portland Trail Blazers and ex-Atlantic Coast Confer-ence Player of the Year at Duke. Smith suffered a sea-son-ending knee injury last weekend.

It’s an experience many are willing to go through in order to either return to

the NBA, or get there for the first time.

The Sixers are one of eight NBA teams that actu-ally own their own NBA Development League fran-chise, although all 30 NBA teams have the ability to send players to its official 18-team league.

While the D-League doesn’t make financial fig-ures public, the highest sal-aried players such as Smith earn just $25,000 for the 50-game schedule. More often, the pay is even less. The players also have their living expenses covered.

There are different levels of motivation for the play-ers. Sevens rookie Ronald Roberts Jr., the former star at St. Joseph’s, has already reached the NBA, albeit briefly. Earlier this year he was called up by the 76ers and spent two games on the roster.

“I did something many people never get the chance to do,” Roberts said. “I stepped on an NBA court.”

Of course that isn’t good enough for Roberts, which is why he is playing in Del-aware. At 6-foot-8, Roberts

can jump out of the build-ing and he provided sever-al highlight-film dunks dur-ing his NBA weekend. But he must work on his perim-eter game, creating his own shot and defending smaller but quicker players.

Despite the lower pay and profile, he is having the time of his life.

“This has been great because I get to work on my game so much and we have great coaches and I am working hard, trying to get to the NBA,” Rob-erts said.

And he doesn’t mind the meager pay.

“Since I am out of col-lege, I never made money so now I am getting paid to play basketball, and the best part is that I can work on my game all day and not

have to worry about taking exams, or going to class.”

D-League talent level comes in all forms. Some players were once projected to be NBA difference-mak-ers but didn’t pan out, such as 7-foot-3 center Hasheem Thabeet. The second overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft from the University of Con-necticut, Thabeet played 224 games in five NBA seasons, few of those games with distinction. Now he is com-peting for the Grand Rap-ids Drive, the minor league affiliate of the Detroit Pistons.

“How many people get to play in the NBA,” Thabeet asked when talking about his motivation to compete in the minors. “When you get an opportunity like this (in the D-League) you don’t let it go. We love this game.”

Trevone Boykin is one of several players that burst onto the college football scene with their stellar play in 2014.

The versatile quarterback springboarded TCU into the national spotlight as a pos-sible College Football Play-off contender and while the Horned Frogs fell just short of the prize, Boykin show-cased a potential that makes him one of my Heisman Tro-phy candidates in 2015.1. Trevone Boykin, QB, TCU

Buzz: Since 2000, a quar-terback has won the award 13 out of 14 seasons and Boykin’s style of play fits well into the recent trend of win-ners. A strong-armed throw-er whose mobility provides him with an added dimension, Boykin could build off a sea-son where he combined for 4,616 total yards.2. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio StateBuzz: Elliott galvanized his spot on this list after his tremendous late-sea-son run when he amassed three straight 200-plus yard rushing performances in the Big Ten Championship,

the College Football Playoff semifinals and the National Championship.3. J.T. Barrett/Cardale Jones/Braxton Miller, QB, Ohio StateBuzz: Regardless of which player ends up starting the season at quarterback, it’s a good bet that that player will have a tremendous season for the Buckeyes. An Ohio State quarterback has won Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year three straight seasons and look for it to be a fourth in 2015.4. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSUBuzz: Fournette embodies the hard-nosed rusher that the Southeastern Conference is known for producing. As a freshman, he rushed for 1,034 yards with 10 touch-downs as his emergence late in the season put relent-less pressure on defenses to adjust to his presence in the game.5. Dalvin Cook, RB, FSU

Buzz: Cook was another freshman who demonstrat-ed big-game potential late in the season helping propel Florida State into the College Football Playoff. The Miami native rushed for 1,008 yards with eight touchdowns and figures to play a bigger role for the ‘Noles in 2015.6. Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi StateBuzz: Prescott’s no strang-er to Heisman hype after the junior helped guide the Bulldogs to the top-spot in the weekly rankings. How-ever, a couple of sub-par per-formances late in the season

against Alabama and Ole Miss thwarted any chance in 2014. Perhaps a reboot in 2015?7. Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia

Buzz: Todd Gurley’s midsea-son suspension along with an array of injuries at the posi-tion thrust the freshman run-ning back into the starting role where he thrived. Chubb rushed for 1,547 yards includ-ing a career-best 266 yards against Louisville in the Belk Bowl.8. Cody Kessler, QB, USC

Buzz: Kessler thrived in Steve Sarkisian’s offense in 2014, passing for 3,826 yards and 39 touchdowns. His deci-sion to return in 2015 helps put USC in the hunt for a Pac-12 title and makes him one of the elder statesmen in the conference this season.9. Samaje Perine, RB, OklahomaBuzz: Another freshman sensation who had a break-out season after rushing for 1,713 yards and 21 touch-downs for the Sooners. Per-ine led the Big 12 in rushing highlighted by his record-setting 427 yards and five touchdown game against Kansas.10. Derrick Henry, RB, AlabamaBuzz: Could this be the year a running back wins the award? The last one to do so was Alabama’s Mark Ingram in 2009. Henry could add to that legacy after rushing for 990 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2014. With T.J. Yeldon off to the NFL, Henry’s role in the offense is sure to grow in 2015.

Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down on Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.

A s one of the leaders and top per-formers on the Illinois men’s gymnastics team, redshirt

junior C.J. Maestas knows how to carry his team in more ways than one.

During this weekend’s Windy City Invitational, Maestas had a stand-out performance against a fi eld that included the two-time defending national champions, Michigan, and last season’s fi fth-place Ohio State. He clinched the fl oor exercise (with a score of 15.150), still rings (15.400) and all-around (87.500) titles.

Maestas is now tied for fi fth on the Illini’s all-time list for most still rings titles with 16 and is sixth in all-around titles with 10.

“C.J. is that guy who’s going to go out and hit,” head coach Justin Spring said. “You have some com-petitors that just live for competition, they get excited and then they rise to the occasion ... C.J. is on that level.”

During the invite, there were times when the team felt skeptical about its chances of coming in fi rst. Senior Jordan Valdez said the team was sur-prised when it heard the results.

Although skeptical, Valdez said part of what kept the Illini motivat-ed throughout the invite was Maes-tas’ performance.

“They talk about momentum in football games and basketball games, but it really is a shift that you can feel when you have a guy like C.J. that just goes out and does amazing gymnastics,” Valdez said. “He pumps up the crowd, he pumps up the team and it rolls over into the next guy’s routine.”

Gaining energy from Maestas’ routines at the Invite came during moments when the Illini were in need of a momentum shift.

“The way the timing worked out in our lineup, C.J’s routines came up after a couple hard routines for the team, and that shift really helped out the next few guys,” Valdez said.

While Maestas helped swing momentum with his title clinching

routines, he also is known to provide spark while being a spectator.

When not competing, Maestas is known as one of the more vocal lead-ers who teammates can look toward for encouragement or advice about a certain routine.

“He is able to rally the troops and really get them to buy in and feel excited,” Spring said. “You can’t lead a group of 15 men into battle without great leadership, they’ll lose them-selves. C.J. is that (leader).”

Maestas said one of the most important things he tries to accom-plish as a vocal leader is teaching the newer members of the team how to never be satisfi ed and keep moving toward bigger goals.

“I know what it takes,” Maestas said. “We won the national champi-onship my freshman year in 2012. My junior year we went to Michigan and we took fourth. That was a tough pill to swallow. The sophomores and freshmen who are younger don’t real-ly understand yet, but we’re trying to teach them that just because we won, doesn’t mean anything. We can always do more.”

With key injuries to sophomore Chandler Eggleston and junior Fred Hartville, the Illini will be even more reliant on the performances and leadership of Maestas in the coming weeks.
