CONCLUSION

A team of University professors received a $5.7 million grant from The National Science Foundation’s Plant Genome Research project to expose variations of corn to ozone. The goal of the project is to cross the most ozone tolerant variation of corn with the least to create a tolerant strain that will increase yields for farmers. Based on existing research from the project Soy FACE, Ainsworth expects to see a lot of genetic variation among the plants exposed to the ozone pollution.

PROTECTINGCORN FROM OZONE

Fitzgerald joins board of trustees

T hree University professors received a $5.7 million grant from the National Science Foun-

dation on Jan. 1 to research the effects of ground-level ozone on corn.

Lisa Ainsworth, associate professor in integrative biology and principal inves-tigator on the grant, said the goal of this five-year project is to develop an ozone-tolerant variety of corn.

Ainsworth said ozone, a pollutant, enters a plant through small pores in its leaves and damages it in multiple ways.

“Ozone concentrations in the atmo-sphere have more than doubled since preindustrial times,” Ainsworth said.

“This is a relatively new pollutant that plants are facing, and it’s something that is decreasing yields.”

Ainsworth will be working with two other professors — Andrew Leakey, assistant professor in plant biology, and Patrick Brown, assistant professor in crop sciences.

Brown, geneticist for the project, said they will look for differences in the phe-notypes, or physical characteristics, of the ozone-treated and untreated corn.

Former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is the newest member of the University board of trust-ees, appointed by Gov. Pat Quinn on Friday.

“I am very excited to join the board and be part of trying to help serve a great institution,” Fitzgerald said. “I’m hoping that I can come in with lots of ques-tions and try to learn what’s going on as quickly as I can.”

Fitzgerald is replacing trustee Lawrence Oliver II, whose term expired Jan. 14. Previously hav-ing served as U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois for more than 10 years, Fitzger-ald led the investigations that resulted in corruption charges against former Govs. George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich. He

resigned from the position in June and cur-rently works as a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom law firm in Chicago.

“Fitzgerald is a friend of mine, and I think a friend of anyone who is looking for education in Illinois that’s open to everyone, that gives the opportunity to make our society better,” Quinn said at an event honoring Mar-

Although its been more than 50 years since the Jim Crow laws of the south were abol-ished, Ernest Green, one of the Little Rock Nine, spoke to community members Friday afternoon about how discrim-ination and segregation are still present in today’s society.

Green was the keynote speaker for Champaign Coun-ty’s 12th annual celebration honoring the legacy of civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. Green discussed some of his experiences as one of nine teenagers who were the first black students to attend

Little Rock Central High School in 1957.

“We’re hoping that by bring-ing Mr. Green in we are doing our part, and we hope folks will be encouraged to over-come that mountain which is discrimination, lack of equality and lack of diversity which a lot of us are still see-ing today,” said Otis Noble III, one of the committee chairs planning the event.

At Friday’s event, Green shared one of his favorite memories of King: the “I Have a Dream” speech the day of the March on Washington.

Community members began discussing how to use the com-munity benefit portion of UC2B project funds at a meeting Sat-urday at Salem Baptist Church.

The UC2B project aims to bring high-speed fiber-optic Internet to areas in Urbana, Champaign and Savoy that have been chronically underserved by existing Internet infrastructure.

The policy board for the proj-ect agreed to dedicate a por-tion of its revenue to a fund that would “be dedicated to overcom-ing the digital divide,” accord-ing to the board’s resolution. The board plans to allocate between 2 and 5 percent of the annual rev-enue to the fund. Community members must now decide how they want to use the money to meet that goal.

Saturday morning’s meeting

was “the first of many meet-ings” to decide what to do with the money, said Abdul Alkalimat, professor of African American Studies and UC2B policy board member.

The Rev. Zernial Bogan of the Salem Baptist Church said the meeting was fit for the week-end of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.

“His speech was so eloquent,” Green said. “I soaked it up like a sponge, absorbing every drop of change in his feet. I was moved when he said, ‘My friends, while we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I have a dream, a dream deeply rooted in me.’ Now that I stand here 40 years later, I see Mr. King’s dream come alive after his speech at Washington.”

Each year, community orga-nizations create a theme for the

event, this year being “Having to overcome the mountain.”

“It’s about honoring Martin Luther King and the speeches that he delivered,” said Mariet-ta Turner, one of the committee chairs. “We take a theme from one of his speeches and bring together the community so that we can share in continuing his dream and moving forward and mention those in our communi-ties who have honored Martin Luther King’s teachings.”

The celebration also includ-ed an award ceremony in which community members and local programs were recognized for

their involvement and continu-ance of King’s teachings, Noble said.

One of the programs that was honored was Nathaniel Banks’ music program. Banks runs a program for students who want to learn to play musical instru-ments but lack the access to instruction.

“It’s one of those programs that falls into the same category of what Dr. King encouraged us to be,” Noble said. “More open and free to all citizens.”

MLK Day celebrates progress, acknowledges need for changeBY CANDICE NORWOODASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR

Years before President Barack Obama’s promises of hope and change for the U.S., professor Abdul Alkalimat had witnessed other historically significant events throughout the coun-try. Alkalimat and the campus community will honor Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday to celebrate the progress of civil rights throughout the years while acknowledging that more change is needed.

The professor of African-American studies grew up in the Frances Cabrini housing project on the north side of Chicago dur-ing the 1940s.

The Jim Crow legislation that legalized racial segregation con-tinued to afflict the country; how-ever, Alkalimat said his child-hood experiences in Chicago were not plagued by the blatant brutality often associated with the time period.

“There’s a difference in the black community between hav-ing a consciousness of freedom or a consciousness of oppres-sion,” Alkalimat said. “And I hap-pened to come from the kind of family that was on the freedom side.”

Alkalimat’s family members were community organizers who promoted the importance of their heritage and graduates of prominent historically black colleges.

He explained that with these strong influences, it was never about “if we couldn’t go,” but rather “if we go, we have to fight.”

This spirited mentality soon intensified after the murder of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Chi-cago boy who was mutilated, shot and thrown into the Tallahatchie River in 1955 as punishment for allegedly flirting with a white woman.

“They had a picture of Emmett Till on the cover of Jet Magazine. (It was) this grotesque image of a disfigured body,” he said. “There were memorial services held all around Chicago. ... It was really, psychologically and emotionally, a big thing.”

Till’s death was a significant spark in the fight for civil rights across the country.

During the 1960s, other his-toric events affected the black community.

James Anderson, professor of education, was a graduate stu-dent at the University in 1968 when Martin Luther King Jr. was shot in Memphis, Tenn.

On the day of the assassina-tion, he and three other friends had loaded up a car to drive from the University campus to Nash-ville for spring break. Before heading out, Anderson said he realized he forgot something and returned to his fraternity house.

It was inside the house that he learned that King had been shot. The news did not explain that King had in fact been mur-dered, so Anderson and his friends decided to continue with their journey to Tennessee.

“We arrived in Nashville around 3 or 4 in the morning and very quickly we were sur-round by police cars,” Anderson

said. “There had been a couple of shootouts on the Tennessee State campus, and we didn’t know that while we were in tran-sit Nashville had been burned, that city after city was going up in flames.”

Upon his return to campus Anderson said heartbreak and disbelief over King’s death man-ifested in demonstrations and severe racial tension on campus.

Today, 45 years after King’s assassination, much in the country has changed. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and The Vot-ing Rights Act of 1965 are two of the key initiatives that helped to ratify the American system.

Even with these improve-ments, conversations concerning race and civil rights are not over.

Scholars of African-American history stress the importance of celebrations such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Black History Month not only for the sake of remembering our coun-try’s history but also for promot-ing the rights of all citizens.

“Some would say the existing challenges relating to issues of race and discrimination continue to exist in different forms,” said Menah Pratt-Clarke, assistant provost of the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access. “There may not be a sign that says ‘No Blacks Here’ ... (but) I think it’s important to remember that it’s a shared journey and not just with African-Americans.”

Pratt-Clarke went on to add that education is the key, both in terms of minorities gaining the knowledge they need to fight

injustices and in understanding the “intersecting identities” that each individual has.

It is these identities that will help members of different gen-ders, ethnicities or sexual ori-entations recognize their simi-larities and fight for freedom as a whole, rather than for one spe-cific group.

Alkalimat also agrees that it is important to distinguish between legislative discrimination and structural discrimination. Dis-crepancies in education are what fuel much of the inequality that exists in America today.

According to a 2012 report by the Alliance for Excellent Edu-cation, for the class of 2008, 38 percent of blacks graduated from a four-year college with-in six years, compared with 38 percent for Native Americans, 46 percent for Hispanics, 59 per-cent for whites and 66 percent for Asians.

It is this group of college-edu-cated, middle-class minorities who are going to be unsatisfied with their unequal place in soci-ety and will begin to demand a change, Alkalimat said.

“The question today is where is the self-organization going to come from. Or are people just going to roll over and die? I just don’t think people are going to just die,” he said. “There has nev-er been a time when there were not efforts in the black commu-nity, but a lot of time it has taken different forms.”

ALGIERS, Algeria — The death toll from the terrorist siege at a natural gas plant in the Sahara climbed to at least 81 on Sunday as Algerian forces searching the refinery for explo-sives found dozens more bodies, many so badly disfigured it was unclear whether they were hos-tages or militants, a security offi-cial said.

Algerian special forces stormed the plant on Saturday

to end the four-day siege, mov-ing in to thwart what government officials said was a plot by the Islamist militants to blow up the complex and kill all their hos-tages with mines sown through-out the site.

The government said after the assault that at least 32 extrem-ists and 23 hostages were killed. Then, on Sunday, Algerian bomb squads sent in to blow up or defuse the explosives found 25 bodies, said the security official, who spoke on condition of ano-

nymity because of the sensitiv-ity of the situation.

“These bodies are difficult to identify. They could be the bod-ies of foreign hostages or Alge-

rians or terrorists,” the official said. In addition, a wounded Romanian who had been evac-uated died, raising the overall death toll to at least 81.

Death toll rises at Algerian gas plant

BY DAVID ESPOTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama was sworn in for four more years Sunday in a simple ceremony at the White House, embarking on a second-term quest to restore a still-shaky economy and com-bat terrorists overseas while swearing an age-old oath to “pre-serve, protect and defend” the Constitution.

“I did it,” a smiling president said to his daughter Sasha sec-onds after following Chief Jus-tice John Roberts in reciting the oath of office. First lady Michelle Obama and the couple’s other daughter, Malia, were among relatives who bore witness.

The quiet moments were pre-lude to Monday’s public inau-gural events when Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be sworn in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol before a crowd expect-ed to reach into the hundreds of thousands and a television audi-ence counted in the millions. The trappings were in place — the flag-draped stands ready out-side the Capitol and the tables

set inside for a traditional lunch with lawmakers. Across town, a specially made reviewing stand rested outside the White House gates for the president and guests to watch the traditional parade down Pennsylvania Avenue.

A crowd of perhaps 800,000

was forecast, less than the mil-lion-plus that thronged to the nation’s capital four years ago to witness the inauguration of the first black president in Ameri-can history.

The weather forecast was encouraging, to a point.

President Obama sworn in for 2nd term

in lines that don’t show a big dif-ference between the two,” Brown said. “This means they are dealing with the ozone pretty well.”

The end goal of the project is to cross the most ozone-tolerant corn with the least ozone-toler-ant to create a variation that will be resistant to ozone and give an increased yield.

The team members are part of the genomic ecology of glob-al change set of laboratories at the Institute of Genomic Biology, led by Don Ort. The research in these laboratories focuses on how change in climate and other glob-al factors will affect agricultural practices.

“It’s known that there is natural genetic variability so that some cultivars (variations) of corn are more sensitive to this pollution,” Ort said. “But, it hasn’t been pos-sible up until now to systematical-ly transfer that resistance into the kinds of corn that farmers want to grow.”

Ort said the problem with ozone was that it is a secondary pollut-ant, meaning it is formed by reac-tions from primary pollutants, and is short-lived, as ozone’s strength changes from day to day and from place to place. However, with the facilities at the University, the researchers can keep the ozone

levels constant. Ainsworth and Leakey, physi-

ologists for the project, have both worked on soyFACE, which stands for Soybean Free Air Concentra-tion Enrichment. The research project, located on the South Farms, examines the genetic vari-ations of soybeans once sprayed with concentrated levels of ozone.

“What soybean seems to do is increase its antioxidant metabo-lism in response to ozone,” Ain-sworth said. “That’s energetically quite expensive for plants, so then there’s a penalty on growth.”

In the 80-acre field where soy-FACE is located, 40 acres will be converted to a plot containing 200 variations of corn and the rest will remain for soybean research. There are eight total ozone plots on which the corn and soybeans will be tested.

Ainsworth said the search for ozone-tolerant plants will begin this summer and will also double as a plant biology camp for junior high school girls.

Ort said he was excited about the prospects of the project.

“All three of these people are early career and are either assis-tant or associate professors,” Ort said. “This NSF genome program is incredibly competitive and so to get it is a real endorsement of these three faculty members.”

tin Luther King Jr. in Chicago on Friday.

Quinn also announced the reap-pointments of trustees Timothy Koritz, a staff anesthesiologist at Rockford Memorial Hospital, and James Montgomery, a Chicago attorney. Koritz was appointed to the board in 2009 and Montgom-ery in 2007. They are both Uni-versity of Illinois alumni and were appointed to six-year terms.

Oliver, chief counsel for investi-gations at The Boeing Co., said he learned he would not be reappoint-ed to the board when he received a phone call from the governor’s office Wednesday afternoon. Oli-ver was not given a specific rea-son, he said, although “there was reference to the fact that the board has to be balanced.”

By state statute, the nine-mem-ber board must be politically bal-anced. No more than five members of each political party can serve on the board at one time.

Oliver was appointed by Quinn in 2009 as a political independent, serving among the five Democrats and three Republicans. Oliver said it’s possible he was not reappointed because he voted in a 2010 Demo-cratic primary.

“It’s not something I agreed with,” he said. “To be quite hon-

est, I maintain to this day that I am still a politically independent person.”

Contrary to his political inde-pendence, he said, he voted in the primary to support not the party but the candidate, David Hoffman, who was running for U.S. Senate.

Oliver said he was disappoint-ed by the news because he would have enjoyed working with the board for another term. Howev-er, he commended Fitzgerald on his appointment, saying he will be a great addition to the board.

“With Patrick (Fitzgerald), the board is in good hands,” Oliver said. “It has been an honor serving my 3 1/2-year term. The board and the University are in great shape.”

Although Oliver will no longer be a trustee, Quinn said Friday that his office has some very important assignments that he hopes Oliver will partake in, particularly deal-ing with integrity. Oliver previous-ly sat on Quinn’s Illinois Reform Commission, which analyzes gov-ernment procedure.

“(Oliver) served ... very well on the board of trustees of the Univer-sity of Illinois, and I really want him to continue in government,” Quinn said. “I hope he can stay with us in another area of service, and I look forward to working with him.”

“There’s always something you can do to help the com-munity, and that’s what Mar-tin Luther King expressed,” Bogan said.

Alkalimat noted the impor-tance of the community benefit fund before opening the floor for suggestions.

“This is a rare opportunity for us to think about what we want to do for our community,” he said.

Meeting attendees presented several ideas for how to spend the fund. Some suggested pur-chasing new computers for resi-dent use and training residents to use computers.

Artice James, president of the Champaign chapter of the National Council of African-American Men, suggested using the funds to provide job train-ing for the installation of fiber optic material to area homes. James said he hoped many of these jobs will employ minor-ity residents.

Alkalimat also commented

on the issue of creating per-manent jobs for Champaign-Urbana residents. He said he could see potential for creating a group similar to Best Buy’s Geek Squad.

“Everybody knows when you have a computer, you are going to have problems,” he said. “You don’t know everything.”

UC2B policy board members plan to hold more community meetings, but they have not yet set a date for the next gathering.

F ormer U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald was appointed to the Uni-versity’s board of trust-ees on Friday, replac-

ing outgoing Lawrence Oliver II, who had served on the board since 2009. Fitzgerald’s resume in public service includes prosecuting former Illinois Govs. George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich.

Considering the amount of healing the University has had to endure in the past four years, the appointment could move our institution forward. Gov. Pat Quinn’s appointment of such a diverse legal background could help keep the political corruption of yesteryear at bay.

This is the first academic year in several years without any major scandal by Univer-sity administration. Chancel-lor Phyllis Wise has been in her position for over a year and President Robert Easter in his for more than six months. The University is finally seeing sta-bility and even some progress. Fitzgerald’s appointment, simi-larly welcomed as Wise and Easter were, fits right in with that narrative. The entire Uni-versity system will be eager to see what his presence will bring to the board.

Fitzgerald’s political indepen-dence factored into the appoint-ment. By law, the nine-person board can have a maximum of five members of the same polit-ical party. The board’s current political alignments include five Democrats, three Repub-licans and one independent. While Oliver was appointed by Quinn as an independent in 2009 after the Category I fall-out, he voted in a 2010 Dem-ocratic primary, supporting David Hoffman for U.S. Senate. While this has not been con-firmed as the absolute reason for his not being reappointed, Oliver acknowledged the legal need for the political balance of the board.

The notion is fair, though maybe sometimes irrelevant. If the board does its job, it should be able to ignore political align-ments and do what’s best for the University, regardless of ideology. Therefore, we expect the board and its new addi-tion to do as much as possible for the University’s financial situation in the coming months before the new fiscal year.

As the board meets this week in Chicago, it should be think-ing first and foremost about the people that make up the Univer-sity — the students, faculty and staff.

Students should be afforded the best possible education at the lowest possible cost. The new tuition numbers will be released at this week’s confer-ence, along with new numbers for student fees and housing costs.

Competitvely seeking new faculty should be in the fore-front of the board members’ minds when putting togeth-er salary and pension num-bers. Job security and benefits should be a consideration for the University’s countless staff, which make the infrastructure work.

With Fitzgerald as a refresh-er, let the board of trustees go forward, carving a new path in the name of stability.

M artin Luther King Jr. has gone down in history as a transformational figure who

paved a better path for not only African-Americans, but for all marginalized people in this coun-try. One of his greatest strengths to achieve this was through his rheto-ric. In fact, he was sort of like a living, breathing factory of iconic statements.

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of chal-lenge and controversy.”

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

The list could truly go on and on, but the main themes revolve around love, freedom and a brighter future. For this reason, it seems especial-ly fitting that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is also the same day of President Barack Obama’s inaugu-ral address.

It could be argued that Obama would not be serving a second term as president or have been able to enjoy so many other opportunities had Dr. King not fought tirelessly for the brighter future that we all enjoy and that many of us continue to fight for. President Obama is ful-ly aware of Dr. King’s impact on his life and the path of this country. In

many ways, he has tried to emulate his fight for the greater good during his first term.

While reading up on some of Dr. King’s most memorable statements, I found one he wrote in a letter from a Birmingham jail that is not nearly as famous as many others, but that should be the most impor-tant in guiding Obama’s second term.

“We must use time creatively.”Although it is short, sweet and

doesn’t have the same grandiose nature that both Dr. King and Presi-dent Obama are known for using in speeches, it conveys the ideal marching orders for the president as he begins his final term in elect-ed office.

For many of us, four years can mean a college degree, medical school, a new job followed by pro-motions, all while meeting new friends or love interests. These achievements are pretty basic aspects of life, but are essential for making the most of the time given.

For President Obama, the next four years could mean several chal-lenges from a do-nothing, grid-locked term to a transformational era that sees major changes both in and out of Washington. Unfortu-nately, the former is more likely to occur as Congress remains sharply divided and almost unable to pass legislation on any hot-button issue (which now constitutes just about every issue),

This is why the president must get creative.

The first two years of his first term did not require much cre-ativity in terms of how he could pass major legislation such as the Affordable Care Act or place two favorable judges into the Supreme Court. The last two years were more notable for being some of

the least productive in congressio-nal history, and the public battles between the president and Republi-can lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Dur-ing that time, President Obama had to tread softly to face any chance at re-election and to have a shot at get-ting anything done.

Now, though, the president is fueled by an electoral mandate to, at the very least, push this country forward on the principles he cam-paigned on. Whether his congres-sional colleagues choose to join him in doing so is another story.

Either way, the president must get creative.

This might mean selecting a few key issues to fight to victory on while allowing for compromise on others.

This might mean continuing to pass executive orders within the boundaries of the Constitution while establishing himself as a fear-less commander-in-chief willing to do what is necessary to make life better for Americans.

What this cannot mean, though, is a continuation of drawn-out battles and dramatic headlines splashed across every news site that only result in short-term “solutions” to our many issues. Obama must lead the rest of our government from acting as handymen, who fix lit-tle things here and there, to home builders, who build a stronger foun-dation for us to stand on.

Dr. King creatively used his time on Earth to turn wrongs into rights and build a foundation for a bet-ter America that we still stand on today.

President Obama has four more years to do the same.

Obama should mirror MLK’s creativity

S ome of the best days of the school year are the days when we’re not in school.

Thanksgiving and winter break? I’m all over that. The summer is amazing as well, although it tends to drag if I’m home too long. But the best holidays are sometimes the short ones, the ones that give you an extended weekend, perfect for sleeping in, partying a little bit lon-ger or catching up on TV sh — er, assignments.

Since we’re not basking in the warm glow of the September sun, our Monday holiday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It’s special to many not only because it’s a break but because of what MLK did in his lifetime. And though I’m not above taking advantage of the extra day for my personal shenanigans, I think it’s important to reflect on the work of one our important histori-cal figures.

Except sometimes, for some rea-son, it’s hard for people to do that.

Over the course of the years I’ve been asked by a couple of differ-ent people if I’m “especially super excited” for Martin Luther King Jr. Day or if it’s my favorite holi-day “because ... you know.” The answers to those questions are sim-ple: I’m moderately excited, and no.

But it’s the reasoning behind the questions that bothers me. It

implies that they don’t think the day affects them because of their skin color or that it affects me more because of mine. These ques-tions class MLK Day as a holiday that can only impact a certain sub-set of people. And although I’m no expert on Martin Luther King Jr.’s feelings, I can imagine that is not what he wanted.

The idea behind Martin Luther King Jr. Day is to honor Martin Luther King Jr., who, yes, was Afri-can-American and worked with the civil rights movement. MLK Day is very much about the history of the movement and the struggles minor-ities faced in the past, and it’s an important part of our history. But although this is a big part of the focus of MLK Day, his legacy has done so much more for other civil rights movements.

His work doesn’t just impact African-Americans. When Dr. King said he had a dream, he didn’t mean for it to be exclusionary. One of the most famous lines of his speech is that he believed “all men are cre-ated equal.” The ideas of Mar-tin Luther King Jr. and MLK Day doesn’t just revolve around one spe-cific set of people — everyone can adopt the true meaning of MLK Day as their own just because they aren’t a minority.

MLK valued social justice and giving back to the community, among other causes. As part of the MLK Day celebration, there is the nationwide “Day of Service.” On Saturday, with some events throughout the weekend and Mon-day, all Americans are encouraged

to go out in the community and volunteer.

This is the part of MLK Day that I love the most. Community service is something that affects every-one everywhere, especially on col-lege campuses. It’s something that I don’t do enough of, but it is one thing that makes me feel like I’m making even a tiny impact in the world.

I don’t distance myself from the work MLK did with the civil rights movement — and I personally take that to heart — but I love that his legacy is synonymous with vol-unteer work. Thus, I’m surprised when people assume the day means anything to me just because I’m African-American. This idea is one that goes beyond any color barrier, an idea that we can all get behind.

If you’re like me and waited till the last minute, it’s not too late to sign up for volunteer work. If you’d like to volunteer, check out the Office of Volunteer Programs’ web-site. And if you haven’t signed up for a project, remember that MLK didn’t just take a day to introduce the world to his work. He used a lifetime. And, based on that, we can honor him by volunteering at any point in the year.

We can get behind a historical figure, regardless of who we are, or who that historical figure is. It’s not about celebrating because you’re a certain race. It’s about celebrat-ing because we can help out our community.

All races should celebrate MLK Day

If someone would just listen to us, we would be OK. You try to find your voice, but try as you might,

no one is listening. So you keep on searching.

But it’s hard. You want to change the world with your altruistic ideas — if someone would just hear you out, you know you could get things mov-ing. Unfortunately, you are only one blogger among millions, one Tweeter of over 200 million and one human of 7 billion others searching for a voice of their own.

The simple truth is that, try as you might, you probably won’t be heard in the far reaches of Tokyo or Buenos Aires or Cairo or Paris.

But people in those corners of the world try every day to speak up and be heard, hoping someone would just listen. Sometimes something horrific propels a voice to mainstage.

The gun control debate is nearly ceaseless. The shooter at Newtown, Conn., who killed Charlotte, Mary, Daniel, Grace, Rachel, Olivia, Jose-phine, Ana, Dylan, Dawn, Madeleine, Catherine, Chase, Noah, Jesse, Caro-line, James, Anne, Emilie, Victoria, Jessica, Avielle, Jack, Lauren, Ben-jamin and Allison, gave not himself a voice but gave a nation a chance to reexamine gun control laws in the United States.

Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head by Taliban forces because she spoke out for basic social justice, proved that no matter how young you are or where you’re from, you can be heard.

It would seem, then, that you must be a martyr, but it’s quite the contrary.

In the arts, Kathryn Bigelow, the Academy Award winning director of “The Hurt Locker” and director of “Zero Dark Thirty,” is one of barely 10 percent of women who have directed a top-250 grossing movie. Her work stands as a testament that despite past (and undoubtedly present) prejudices, you can create and distribute some-thing that needs to be said.

This past summer, the country went up in arms against anti-gay state-ments from head honchos at Chick-fil-A. Activists voiced their opinion about the statements, and each statement was met with opposition, reaffirming that they were heard. Because if any-thing signals that you were heard, it’s a dissenting opinion.

Then there are those who uninten-tionally rocketed to Internet fame, like the Reverend Phil Snider of Missouri who delivered a beautifully crafted and effective speech to express his distaste for anti-gay legislation in his city. (It is a speech that resonates all the more true on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.) Or there’s the Wiscon-sin news anchor Jennifer Livingston who’d had enough of the bullying in this country and told a viewer of the live newscast that he had no right to make fun of her obesity.

On campus, we have the ongoing debate, where Chief supporters tire-lessly advocate for their mascot. One camp wants Illiniwek back because he was the figure that bound this Uni-versity together. Another camp wants him to remain removed from this school’s culture because they believe racism was the only viable message that could be derived from the mas-cot. Others are on the search for a new symbol to represent this school. The debate, although making nation-al news in 2007, is a conversation that generally ensnares only those in this community.

And there are those whose names will never be known who speak out for causes they believe in with every fiber of themselves. We will never hear them all. And, really, we don’t always have to.

By simply making your voice heard to at least one person — letting just one other person — consider your words for even half a second, you’ve found your voice. Have you imme-diately affected the world’s course? Stopped the next genocide? Prevent-ed the next war? No, you probably haven’t, but you may have spread an idea.

Often, the most powerful voic-es started somewhere hidden from most of the public eye, and they spread, gaining momentum along the way. Those who we now hold up as the epitome of the fight for social justice and equality — Yousafzai, Snider, Livingston and countless oth-ers — sought to be heard in their immediate area, but their message caught fire on a national and interna-tional scale.

You can’t anticipate when you will be heard, if ever you will, but that doesn’t mean you should be silent. If you aren’t talking about what you believe in, then it could die away. And you can guarantee then, you’ll never be heard.

Boeing woes raise questions about FAA’s ability to regulate

French military, Mali coming close to recapturing central town from al-Qaida

Netanyahu talks Iran ahead of national elections

BY DAVID KOENIGTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS — After two sepa-rate and serious battery prob-lems aboard Boeing 787s, it wasn’t U.S. authorities who act-ed first to ground the plane. It was Japanese airlines.

The unfolding saga of Boe-ing’s highest-profile plane has raised new questions about fed-eral oversight of aircraft mak-ers and airlines.

Some aviation experts ques-tion the ability of the Feder-al Aviation Administration to keep up with changes in the way planes are being made today — both the technological advanc-es and the use of multiple sup-pliers from around the globe. Others question whether regu-

lators are too cozy with aircraft manufacturers.

Even as they announced a broad review of the 787 earli-er this month, top U.S. trans-portation regulators stood side-by-side with a Boeing executive and declared the plane safe — saying that they would gladly fly in one.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood repeated his endorsement Wednesday.

A few hours later, the FAA issued an emergency order grounding the planes.

Despite their concerns, many safety experts still believe that the current regulatory pro-cess works — the 787s were grounded before any accidents occurred.

The Dreamliner is the first airliner whose structure is made mostly from composite materials rather than alumi-num. The plane relies more than previous airliners on electrical systems rather than hydraulic or mechanical ones, and it’s the first airliner to make extensive use of lithium-ion batteries to power cabin-pressurization and other key functions.

Such technological advances may force the FAA to re-exam-ine the way it does its job.

“We’ve gone from aviation to aerospace products that are much more complex,” said Rich-ard Aboulafia, an aviation ana-lyst with the Teal Group. “The FAA is equipped for aviation. Aerospace is another matter.”

BY AMY TEIBELTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM — Two days before national elections, Isra-el’s prime minister on Sunday shrugged off international criti-cism of Israeli settlement con-struction, charging instead that Iran’s suspect nuclear program the real threat to regional security.

Speaking to his Cabinet, Ben-jamin Netanyahu said he had told a group of visiting U.S. senators over the weekend that “the prob-lem is not building ... The problem in the Middle East is Iran’s attempt to build nuclear weapons ... This was, and remains, the main mis-sion facing not only myself and Israel, but the entire world.”

Israel, the U.S. and much of the international community believe Iran may decide to produce nucle-ar weapons, a charge Tehran denies.

Netanyahu, who has repeatedly spoken of the Iranian nuclear pro-gram throughout his four year-term and long before, has claimed credit for helping put the issue on the international agenda.

The international community has slapped economic sanctions on Iran, also urging Tehran to open its program to \ inspectors. While the sanctions have hit Iran hard, its government has refused to cooperate with inspectors or halt enrichment of uranium.

Netanyahu has welcomed the international pressure on Iran, but he has also repeatedly indicated Israeli might attack Iran, alone if necessary, if he concludes that

diplomacy has failed. The final polls ahead of the vote

have all predicted Netanyahu’s hard-line bloc maintaining a sol-id lead over center-left opponents.

French troops walk in Niono, about 250 miles north of the capital Bamako on Sunday. The Malian military announced late Saturday that the government was now controlling Diabaly, marking an important accomplishment for the French-led offensive to oust the extremists from Mali. French officials questioned if the town had been recaptured.

BY BABA AHMED AND KRISTA LARSONTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAMAKO, Mali — Backed by French air strikes, Malian forces appeared close to recapturing a key central town in Mali where bands of al-Qaida-linked fighters had holed up, France’s defense minister said Sunday.

The French military has spent the last nine days helping the West African nation of Mali quash a jihadist rebellion in its vast north-ern desert. The comments Sunday from Jean-Yves Le Drian, howev-er, appeared to cast some doubt on local military claims that the town of Diabaly had already been recap-tured from the Islamists.

The town of 35,000, which hosts an important military camp, was taken over by al-Qaida-linked mili-tants last week.

“Right now, the town of Diaba-ly is not retaken,” Le Drian told France-5 TV. “(But) everything leads us to believe Diabaly is going to head in the positive direction in the coming hours.”

The French military said its fighter planes and helicopter gun-ships had carried out a dozen oper-ations in the previous 24 hours — half of them to strike “terrorist vehicles.” The report came late Sunday in a statement on the mili-tary’s Web site.

Previously, Mali’s military had claimed the government was back in control of Diabaly — a potential breakthrough in the French-led campaign to oust extremists there.

The contrasting accounts were emblematic of the confusion in the embattled West African country, where French forces opened an air campaign on Jan. 11 and have been building up troop levels to help restore government control in central and northeast Mali.

The zone around Diabaly remains blocked off by a mili-tary cordon and it is not possi-ble to independently verify the information.

Video obtained by The Associ-ated Press from Diabaly on Sat-urday showed burned-out vehi-

cles, scattered bullets and several armored vehicles belonging to the Malian army lying abandoned and damaged along roadsides. Displaced residents and Malian officials described how Islamists fled the town on foot after days of French airstrikes that destroyed their vehicles.

For government supporters, the incursion signaled an alarming drive by the jihadists into cen-tral Mali — and closer to the cap-ital of Bamako — from the base they have established in the coun-try’s vast northeast. The Islamists captured the Texas-sized north-eastern expanse nine months ago, exploiting a power vacuum after a military coup in the dis-tant capital.

Also Sunday, French forc-es extended their deployment northward from the central town of Markala, reinforcing their presence in the towns of Nio-no and Mopti, said Col. Thier-ry Burkhard, a French military spokesman.

Advisers will offer tips, encouragement at study abroad fairBY ADLAI STEVENSONSTAFF WRITER

The Study Abroad Office sends more than 27 percent of the University’s students around the world each year to expand educational experienc-es. It hopes to attract more indi-viduals to their wide options of programs at the study abroad fair held Tuesday in Room C and the South Lounge inside the Illi-ni Union. Starting at 11 a.m., students can interact with peer advisers to learn about the edu-cational opportunities available and most efficient ways for them to apply.

Study abroad programs may offer enough persuasion just from the peer advisers’ unique stories. The advisers are insightful and willing to answer any question and describe their personal study abroad experi-ences in great detail.

“I was able to bungee jump off of the second highest platform in the Southern Hemisphere,” said D.J. Callender, senior in AHS, who studied abroad at Lin-coln University in Queenstown,

New Zealand, during the spring semester of his junior year.

“Queenstown is known as the mecca for outdoor pursuits, and the list of things to do there is endless — bike trails, jet boating, white water raft-ing, scenic heli-copter tours to view the glaciers ... all incredible chances.”

Fun as these activities can be, Study Abroad offers students more than just tourist trips. The programs are academic and immersion-based as opposed to extended vacations. Peer advisers empha-size that those who travel are there to engage with a different community.

Tara McGovern, senior in LAS, observed the environmental con-sciousness in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, when she travelled

there for a semester of her junior year. She said ecotourism was popular in forest areas through-out Ecuador.

“They have a rain forest in their backyard, and their econ-

omy depends on the oil that they export from the forests,” McGov-ern said. “Ecua-dor is the only country that gives constitu-tional rights to Mother Nature, and it was inter-esting to see elite business types cooper-ate with indige-nous people, who both want to pre-serve their envi-ronments. It was

very strange, for me at least, to see those groups be politi-cally aligned and share simi-lar goals.”

Academic focus is an integral part of studying abroad so stu-dents can find the most favor-

able areas to follow their pas-sions and interests.

“Being a recreation, sport and tourism major, Queensland was a great place to be for the specific courses I was able to take and the outdoor activities intrinsic to the area,” Callender said.

He also mentioned that students can take on an outsider’s perspec-tive as foreigners.

“Generally, back at Illinois, you’re an American student par-ticipating with just about all American students learning about things in America. In New Zea-land, I took courses through a dif-ferent lens with new information,” he said. “Before New Zealand, I never had that different, particu-lar sense of perspective in class.”

Learning experiences also exist beyond the walls of the University while studying abroad. McGov-ern lived with a host family dur-ing her four months in Quito who did not speak English, and com-municating with them provided a sharp learning curve.

McGovern said learning a native language is not best done in a classroom.

“You do that by actually inter-acting with people and putting it to useful practice,” she said.

Eye-openers were plenty for the two advisers while abroad, and not without noticing prej-udices of their own. They now have friends around the world they regularly talk to. They were forthright about the ben-efits studying abroad can offer the future careers of students.

“I think it can only help your chances no matter what your future endeavors are,” Callen-der said. “If I go to a potential employer and include my expe-rience in New Zealand, there’s not only a good chance I’m the only candidate who’s done that, but it’s also unique in the sense that I can then pay forward my experiences.”

Life after college remains uncertain for both Callender and McGovern. However, along with other students who have gone abroad, their travels have helped them develop a sense of ease and confidence.

“It’s not so much as cement-ing the future as having a posi-

tive outlook to what’s ahead,” said Ruchi Tekriwal, junior in LAS, who went to Morocco last fall. “I’m very glad that time away gave me a new perspective.”

Tekriwal and McGovern said they originally planned to go into academia right after finish-ing their undergraduate years at the University but now want to explore other options before graduate school.

All peer advisers recommend that students who want to travel during their college years should start planning with the Study Abroad Office as soon as possi-ble so operations can run smooth-ly. Even with extensive research and preparations, they say it is crucial for students to enter their travels with no expectations.

“My word of advice is to just dive in,” McGovern said. “Stay open-minded and do as much as you can with the most freedom you’ll probably ever have. There won’t be anything else in your life like it.”

BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGERSTAFF WRITER

Eleven days can make quite a difference.

On Jan. 10, the Illinois women’s basketball team defeated North-western with ease 65-47, but the Illini couldn’t repeat their perfor-mance Sunday, falling to the Wild-cats 62-58.

“It was a very disappoint-ing loss. I’m frustrated with our team,” Illinois head coach Matt Bollant said. “To come out here and have 2,500 fans come out and support us. With the way we played at Nebraska, to have a lack of ener-gy and a lack of excitement to play in the first half was shocking and there was no excuse for it.”

Bollant cited a lack of discipline on both ends of the court as rea-sons for Illinois’ loss.

Illinois’ offensive struggles defined the first half, and the Illi-ni trailed 25-20 at halftime. The Illini outrebounded Northwestern 20-16 and committed 11 turnovers to the Wildcats’ 12, but a 7-for-29 performance from the field, including going 1-for-8 on 3-point-ers, led to the deficit. Illinois also committed nine fouls to North-western’s four.

Illinois suffered from foul trouble all day. Seniors Karisma Penn and Adrienne GodBold both fouled out, along with sophomore point guard Alexis Smith. The Illini were forced to play the final

two minutes without their three starters.

“For four or five minutes, (God-Bold) was the one scoring and making plays,” Bollant said. “It would have been nice to keep her on the floor and continue to make plays in the last couple minutes.”

GodBold led the Illini with 21 points and nine rebounds. She has now fouled out in six of her seven games.

“We need to find a way to keep her on the floor more — her fouling out really hurt us,” Bollant said.

Illinois opened the second half on a 14-6 run and took its first lead with 15:03 left. The teams exchanged the lead six times and tied eight times.

Northwestern head coach Joe McKeown was given a technical foul with 8:54 left. Amber Moore converted both free throws, and GodBold converted two on the fol-lowing possession. Two Penn free throws on the next possession gave Illinois a six-point lead, its largest of the game, with 8:07 remaining.

Illinois led 54-50 when Penn fouled out with 5:25 left but was unable to hang on. The Illini were up 58-56 when GodBold fouled out with 2:00 remaining.

Illinois didn’t score after God-Bold fouled out, and Northwestern finished on a 6-0 run.

Northwestern was the first team

Illinois hockey sweeps No. 13 Iowa State in Big PondBY PATRICK KELLEYSTAFF WRITER

After three periods of play, overtime, and a tied shootout, Illini head coach Nick Fabbrini looked past his top-10 goal scor-ers and tapped forward John Scully to take the last shot in Friday night’s shootout against No. 13 Iowa State.

Scully skated toward cen-ter ice, gaining control of the puck as he maneuvered down the right side of the Big Pond. Approaching the net, Scully faked to the goalie’s right side, drawing his opponent in the direction of the deke before

finally slipping the puck past the goaltender’s off-balanced left side.

“There are a couple moves that I like to pull when I’m com-ing down the right side,” Scully said. “You got your forehand, you can go left side five-hole, you can bring it back on the back hand like I was able to do there. ... The goalie bit on that first shot fake and I was able to kind of slide it back behind him.”

With that final penalty shot, the Illini sealed a 3-2 victory Friday and set the tone for the rest of the weekend. The Illini’s

ability to win with depth led to a 5-0 shellacking of the Cyclones in Saturday’s finale.

The seven Illinois goals scored in regulation on the weekend came from six differ-ent players, three of which — Jacob Matysiak, John Scully and Ben Burbridge — are out-side the top five goal scorers on the roster. Burbridge’s goal in the second period of Saturday’s game was the first of his career.

“It was a good example of everyone contributing,” Fabbri-ni said following the Illini’s 5-0 Saturday night victory. “Wheth-er you’re playing 25 minutes a

game or five or six minutes a game. We had everyone in the lineup contributing, staying positive on the bench ... that’s all stuff that goes a long way. When you’re in tight games at league and nationals, that posi-tivity ... will keep you in games.”

Also keeping the Illini in the game was the timing of the goals. Four of the Illini’s sev-en regulation goals came either within the first four or last four minutes of the given period.

“Fabbrini has been talking about what he calls momentum goals, and those are goals you get in the first minutes of the

period and the last minutes of the period,” Scully said after Friday’s win. “It kind of went against us at Lindenwood (when Illinois lost 7-4 last Friday) ... it does play a factor and for us to get ahead tonight it was defi-nitely a big plus.”

While the No. 9 Illini spread the puck around on offense, their defense was equally impressive. Goaltender Nick Clarke allowed only two regulation goals during Friday’s game and shut out the Cyclones on Saturday, chalking up his third shutout of the year.

Assisting Clarke was a reju-venated defense that was per-

fect on the penalty kill for the weekend.

“I think that everyone is finally buying into our system of blocking shots and putting in 100 percent effort into every shift,” Burbridge said. “Last Saturday we played Lindenwood ... we had everyone selling out, everyone going as hard as they possibly could just playing like it was their last game and we carried that momentum through here and it’s been working.”

Men’s gymnastics ties for 2nd at Windy City InviteBY GINA MUELLERSTAFF WRITER

After sophmore C.J. Maes-tas tore his right tricep dur-ing the preseason, the Illi-nois men’s gymnastic team’s search for a new leader began. Senior Yoshi Mori was expect-ed to lead the team in Maes-tas’ place, in part because of his experience from the 2012 Visa Championships, but he also suffered a preseason inju-ry — to his collarbone. After only being in the gym at full health for one week, Mori took third in the all-around and first on the pommel horse with a career-high score of 15.3 on Saturday at the Windy City Invitational.

“Obviously the loss of C.J. hurts bad, but I think Yoshi understands that we need him in a big way,” senior Vince Smurro said. “He’s coming off of a big injury too, which is a nagging thing, and for him to step up like that is a great thing. I think everyone knows we really need him to step up if we want to be successful.”

Illinois tied for second with Ohio State, scoring a 427.750, falling just behind Michigan, which earned a 431.300. Min-nesota placed fourth (425.750), followed by Iowa (422.350) and Illinois (Chicago) (401.600). Many Illini made their debut appearance this season after coming back from injuries suf-fered during the preseason. After only practicing his rou-tine on the floor exercise for four days, Smurro compet-ed on the three events at the Windy City Invitational.

“Vince has been looking good at practice,” Illinois head

coach Justin Spring said. “The power was there, it’s just the endurance at the end of the set wasn’t, but we know that he is a competitor and did very well for us all last year. Some-times you just have to look at potential.”

The new six-up, five-count format is causing major chang-es in lineups, and Illinois is still struggling to adapt.

There is now only one score that will not be counted in the team’s total for each event, as opposed to two scores not counted in years past. This puts more pressure on indi-vidual gymnasts than in past seasons.

“We’ve got to look at con-sistency a little bit more and that has a little bit more weight behind it this year because of the added score that we are counting,” Spring said. “Espe-cially when we are going to the five-up, five-count in March, that’s going to be the most con-cerning factor when choosing lineups.”

The intensity of the season rose this weekend after the Illini competed alongside some of their Big Ten rivals. It was the first invitational the fresh-men competed in and the ener-gy from the crowd was high. Illinois got a taste of what both the atmosphere and the com-petition will be like later on this season.

“The Windy City is a good meet because it’s basically a mini Big Ten (Championship), without Penn State,” Smurro said. “It was definitely inter-esting to see what other teams

Players to hold meeting after disappointing loss

Illinois women’s basketball players have decided to call a players-only meeting after Sunday’s loss to Northwestern.

Head coach Matt Bollant said he was shocked by the team’s lack of desire to play and low energy level that led to the loss.

“We just weren’t focused,” senior Adrienne GodBold said. “We came in thinking Northwestern would just lay down. We didn’t have the energy we were supposed to have at jump ball.

“We’re going to figure some things out, and make sure we have energy in practice.”

Illinois has an eight-day break before playing Minnesota on Jan. 28.

Despite prior win, Illini fall to Wildcats

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Karisma Penn (00) reaches for the loose ball during the Illinois’ loss to Northwestern at Assembly Hall on Sunday. Despite beating the Wildcats 65-47 earlier this season, the Illini fell 62-58.

Illini sliding down a slippery slope

Tyler Griffey slowly walked off the court with his head down, orange jersey already

off, wearing only his sweat-drenched orange cutoff.

Just when it couldn’t seem to get any worse for Griffey and his Illini teammates, it did. If the crushing blowout defeat at Wisconsin two Saturdays ago signaled the derailing of the Illi-nois bandwagon, last Thursday’s loss at home to Northwestern was a flaming crash and burn.

The 68-54 loss was maybe the most demoralizing of Griffey’s Illini career, quite an accom-plishment for a senior class that has made a habit out of subma-rining high hopes.

For the second straight outing, Illinois was never in the game, Northwestern quickly building a double-digit lead that the Illini only cut below 10 momentarily late in the second half.

The Wildcats got whatever shot they wanted on offense, repeatedly gouging Illinois for drives, backdoor cuts and threes. The once solid Illini defense had more holes than a Michael Bay movie. The offense was, if possible, worse, creat-ing very few open looks against

a Northwestern defense that entered the game allowing more points per game in con-ference play than any team in the Big Ten. Where is the exe-cution and poise the Illini dis-played during impressive non-conference victories? Where is the confidence and loose play? The toughness and together-ness? The preparation, focus and passion?

After watching Illinois’ play sputter to a grinding halt in recent weeks, it was surreal to watch No. 13 Butler and No. 8 Gonzaga face off in Saturday night’s marquee matchup. It feels like years ago that we watched the Illi-ni control Butler in winning the Maui Invitation-al before march-ing into Spo-kane, Wash., and knocking off the Zags.

We are no longer watching that same Illinois team. It’s as if the Illini players have had their abilities sucked away, Monstar style, and only look like the same players from two

months ago.In the news conference fol-

lowing the Northwestern loss, John Groce was as subdued as I’ve ever seen him. His head often resting on his left hand, Groce spoke in softer tones, the intense stare that we’re so accustomed to now peppered with uncertainty.

The first-year head coach said the Illini simply must play bet-ter, giving few specifics on how they would do that. He didn’t anticipate doing anything dras-tically different to prepare for

Nebraska on Tuesday.

“We’re not gonna jump off a cliff or any-thing like that,” Groce said, add-ing that in the practices leading up to Northwest-ern his squad’s offense looked as

good as it has all season. But the Illini are on a differ-

ent sort of cliff now after yet another eyebrow-raising loss has raised the “fraud-alert” to Threat Level Five. They now stand 14-5 and 1-4 in the Big Ten. In a different year, that

wouldn’t be cause for much con-cern, but the conference is abso-lutely stacked and leaves little room for error this season.

Illinois will travel to Nebras-ka on Tuesday in a game it must win given that the schedule after the Cornhuskers looks like this: No. 5 Michigan, at No. 18 Michigan State, Wisconsin, No. 2 Indiana, at No. 9 Minnesota. The Illini will almost surely not be favored in any of those games. There is a very real possibility they could finish that stretch 2-9 in the Big Ten (hell, given how they’ve been playing recently, there’s no reason to think they will beat Nebraska either).

Illinois would have to finish with seven straight wins to get to .500 in the conference, usual-ly the benchmark of teams that find themselves on the right side of the NCAA tournament bub-ble. This season, an 8-10 Big Ten record might do it, especially considering the strength of Illi-nois’ nonconference resume.

But what once seemed like a lock is far from it.

Through 2 ! years of journalism school, I’ve been told a phrase that I’ve never really put much

stake in: “If your mother says she loves you, check it out.”

I’ve also been taught to recre-ate scenes by asking detail-oriented questions: What was your reaction to hearing that? What color was the mug of coffee he sipped before he said that? What time of day was it? Was the room hot or cold?

Sources are to be taken, for the most part, at face value. So if your mother says she loves you, isn’t that good enough authority?

Well, thanks for clearing that ques-tion up for me, Manti Te’o. Now I totally get it.

In my column last week, I tipped my proverbial hat to Deadspin as a sort of righteous third party in the world of sports news, similar to what Jon Stewart does to the news media with “The Daily Show.” Fewer than 48 hours later, Deadspin breaks its biggest story ever, uncovering Len-nay Kekua as a hoax and reminding us that not only does the site analyze the news, it also takes what it can get on the reporting end of things. In this case, it got an overlooked nugget of pure gold.

The drama that ensued took place on two fronts: the Manti Te’o’s actual life, emotional state and public rep-utation front; and the journalistic front. What makes Deadspin’s story so spectacular is that it was so easy, so in front of everyone’s nose, yet no one had the audacity to question the most basic of accepted truths about whether someone we’ve never inter-acted with actually exists.

By finding the answer to this ques-tion, Deadspin embarrassed Sports Illustrated, The New York Times and the South Bend Tribune, all of which had quoted Te’o’s poetic waxings and settled for no near-contact with a cru-

cial source for what was one of the biggest college football stories this year. ESPN and the rest of the sports media bobbed their heads along the fairy tale’s epic course as the Ameri-can public dug emotional roots into poor Manti Te’o’s story.

All those who covered Te’o’s jour-ney should feel duped, but should they be blamed for poor reporting? The public is pretty sympathetic in this particular instance — everyone was fooled.

Pete Thamel, who wrote the cov-er story about Te’o for SI in October (and who used to write for The New York Times), posted a story detail-ing his conversations with Te’o about Lennay Kekua, and in an interview with Dan Patrick, Thamel recounted the red flags he came across but end-ed up ignoring.

“I did look for an obituary, I did look for a death notice, I did look on Lexis-Nexis to see if she existed. I didn’t find anything in those,” Thamel said. “And in some sense, I communi-cated that while we were fact check-ing to my editors. There were small red flags.”

In his fallout story, Thamel said he also called an assistant athlet-ic director at Stanford, from where Kekua supposedly graduated, to find out what year she graduated in. There was no record of her, and the assistant athletic director comment-ed how strange it was that he had never heard of a student dating Te’o. Thamel admitted this was “the most glaring sign” he overlooked. In the end, however, the word of mouth pre-vailed over the lack of a paper trail.

“There was a whole level of detail there,” Thamel explained to Pat-rick. “You were able to write around it because you had a whole football team, university, community and country.”

You also had pictures of Kekua sur-facing through various media. CBS in particular used a picture for a television segment they did — once again cutting corners and assuming the pieces fit. In Timothy Burke and Jack Dickey’s famed story for Dead-spin, they used these pictures, linked

to Kekua’s Twitter account and ham-mered away at examining what was absolutely a loose end. They did relat-ed-images searches and found the Instagram account of a girl who had unknowingly become the face of trag-edy for the Notre Dame football faith-ful. From here, Deadspin tracked down Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the now-known perpetrator of the prank that fooled the nation.

This extra step was the one the major media failed to take. The only reason Deadspin took it was because they have the spare time to couple with the cynical skepticism, unlike the major-market players that can’t chase leads that may go nowhere.

In a YouTube segment for ESPN’s “Around the Horn,” columnist Bill Plaschke made the point that, while you don’t just ponder a person’s exis-tence, you do try and track down that person or sources close to them for your story.

Most of these attempts were walled off by the facade of family privacy, in which case you should ask yourself why her boyfriend is bludgeoning that privacy by sensa-tionalizing her.

The problem was that while the math didn’t add up, no one had the time to figure out why.

Regardless of what this hoax was to Manti Te’o, it was the perfect

crime to the journalism industry. It was a victimless crime, one that we can learn a lesson from but not nec-essarily do anything about.

For Tuiasosopo and his associ-ates, it was just another one of the many unintended side effects of a joke that turned into something larger than life. For journalism, it’s a new rendition of an old adage: “If the whole country says his girlfriend loved him, make sure she actually existed.”

She didn’t.

Illinois’ No. 16 men’s tennis team launched into the 2013 dual meet season with two victories over Toledo and Ball State.

In Indianapolis, the Illinois and Toledo coaching staffs tested an alternative scoring format, where every game added to the cumula-tive score instead of each match. After sinking the Rockets 83-42, head coach Brad Dancer found the scoring experi-ment a success.

“Scoring for-mat was a big positive,” Dancer said. “We’re look-ing to continue to try and do differ-ent things with that this year and next.”

Winning all four of the dou-bles matches put the Illini up quickly 24-12, but what helped were the pairs’ abilities to keep the other side from cap-turing many game wins. Sopho-more Farris Gosea and freshman Alex Jesse claimed a dominant victory right at the start of 6-1 while freshmen Jared Hiltzik and Julian Childers finished them off 6-3.

While the Illini lost one singles match, strong wins by sophomore Ross Guignon, 10-1, and freshman Brian Page, 10-2, finished off the Rockets and sent Illinois back on the road for its second match of the day, this time against Ball

State in Carmel, Ind.The Cardinals beat down the

Illini early, taking two doubles victories over pairs Page and Hiltzik 8-3 and Guignon and senior Bruno Abdelnour 8-5.

“We get beat up every time in doubles,” Dancer said. “We’ve got to improve our execution.”

Illinois returned fire in singles with Hiltzik, winning 7-5, 6-2 leav-ing the match tied 3-3. Abdelnour

gave the Illini the final push over the Cardinals in a tough win, 4-6, 7-6(4), 7-6(1), end-ing the match 4-3.

“We were res-cued a little bit by Bruno,” Danc-er said. “There’s a lot of times that Bruno’s done that, and I’m proud of him for keeping his composure and also playing his best tennis.”

Abdelnour said he felt the pres-sure but put it out

of mind, found his focus and let his body do its thing.

Still, he was not happy about his performance.

“I was warming up in the morn-ing and kind of felt something in my ankle, but it wasn’t real-ly something I wanted to tell the coaches,” Abdelnour said. “I just wanted to keep tough and battle through it.”

Even a win over Iowa State the night before couldn’t save the Illi-nois swimming and diving team from falling to 2-3 on the season after a devastating loss to Iowa.

On Friday, the Illini smoked the Cyclones 194-106 after driving ahead early and claiming wins in the first four races.

“To win those first four events and have that momentum was huge for us and was kind of a springboard as it carried us through the rest of the meet,” head coach Sue Novitsky said.

Junior Courtney Pope and soph-omore Alison Meng led their team in individual victories, Pope win-ning the 500 free (5 minutes, 3.21 seconds), while Meng won the 100 back (56.69) and 100 free (53.11). Pope and Meng were also part of the wins in the 400 medley relay (3:51.14) and the 200 free relay (1:37.18).

Across the pool, senior div-ers Keri Eberhardt and Darragh McDermott rocked the boards by taking second and third in the three-meter dive, respectively. Later, McDermott captured a win in the one-meter dive with Eber-hardt finishing second.

With two additional fourth-place finishes by sophomore Erika Murphy, the divers cumu-latively contributed a strong 24 points to the overall score.

“It really just comes down to

every individual dive and mak-ing sure that you’re on,” McDer-mott said. “We brought it back in the one-meter and made sure we were calm and didn’t let the three-meter affect us.”

Novitsky said she was pleased with how clean and sharp the swimmers were off the walls, say-ing that it made the difference as the meet went on and they got tired.

The Illini’s endurance would only continue to be tested, as they would be back at it the next morning against a Big Ten com-petitor at their fifth annual Splash Bash — an event where family and friends were invited to enjoy snacks and partake in games while watching the meet.

Being at home again promised a certain energy Novitsky said she was counting on, but she wasn’t

about to let her swimmers lose track of what was important.

“(We were) just reminding them that a lot of their family is here and it’s not a night out with them,” Novitsky said. “They’ve got a job to do.”

Disappointment filled the pool nevertheless, as Illinois barely managed to secure three wins the entire meet. With a final of 196-102, the Illini dropped to 1-2 in the Big Ten and brought back haunt-ing ghosts of seasons past, where they finished in the lower half of the Big Ten Championships.

“We can’t control what Iowa did,” Novitsky said. “We need to work on doing a better job of get-ting ourselves ready to go, day-to-day, session-to-session.”

With the Big Ten Champion-ships five weeks away, Pope and Meng said they trust their coach-

es will help them have a good taper.

“It’s always hard to come back (from a meet the night before),” Meng said. “But that’s what we need to learn for the Big Tens and how to prepare for it.”

Novitsky also said she isn’t let-ting the fast-approaching Big Ten Championships bother her, and intends to keep her swimmers focused.

“My concerns are working on my team and making them a bet-ter team,” Novitsky said. “I can’t be concerned with what the 11 other schools are doing.”

Illinois will host its final dual meet of the 2012-13 season against Nebraska next Saturday at 11 a.m.

Women gymnasts fall to Michigan, see improvementBY NICHOLAS FORTINSTAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s gymnas-tics team seemed frazzled as it made the transition from floor to beam, the final event of the day. After a strong start on bars and vault, the Illini had stumbled a bit on floor with two falls in the event. At this moment, head coach Kim Landrus noticed the team’s nerves and pulled them together for a pep talk that boosted their spirits and pro-pelled them to an extremely strong finish and a school record on the day.

“I really think they took what I said to heart,” Landrus said. “I told them that I needed them to move on and go out and attack the beam, be really aggres-sive and own it, and they did. The girls were on a mission, they wanted to walk out of Crisler Center knowing they finished the meet off really strong, and they did that. All of the girls that went up real-ly did their job and I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

Illinois finished with the third-highest beam total in school history. Illinois scored 49.250 as a team on the beam, outscoring Michigan by .025 to win the event. The Illini lost overall to the Wolverines on Sat-urday in Ann Arbor, Mich., by a score of 197.350 to 195.100, but they view this meet as a major improvement from the week before.

“I think we took another step in the right direction,” Landrus said.

Illinois started its day with bars where the team was led by dual 9.825’s from sopho-more Sunny Kato and senior Ali-na Weinstein, who tied for fifth in the event. The Illini scored 48.950 to the Wolverine’s 49.325.

“Sunny Kato really pulled through,” Landrus said. “She

has always been excellent on bars and beam and we knew that she had the potential to do what she did (Saturday), so it was fun to watch and it was great to see her go out and hit two solid routines.”

During its second rotation, Illinois scored a 48.600 on vault, as freshman Giana O’Connor and Heather Foley had career-highs. O’Connor and Weinstein led the team in the event, each scoring 9.775.

After vault, the Illini moved to floor, where both of their first two gymnasts fell. Illinois was able to regain its consistency, as three of its next four gym-

nasts finished the event with c a reer -h ighs . Weinstein led the way for the Orange and Blue, posting a career-high of 9.925.

“This weekend we made a mis-take on floor,” Weinstein said. “Last weekend it was a differ-ent event, so we just need to keep working on put-ting all of our events togeth-er. We obvious-ly demonstrated that we’re capa-ble of scoring big

and doing well, but we need to stay mentally focused for the entire meet.”

After the pep talk, the team did what Landrus wanted of them and “owned” the beam. Illinois had five of the top eight scores and Kato led the team in a second event on the day, post-ing a 9.875, which won her the individual beam title on the day.

“I think that our performance was really great,” Weinstein said. “It was definitely a big improvement from last week-end, we took a giant step in the right direction this weekend and it was just nice to see us put it all together for the most part.”

to play Illinois twice this sea-son, and it was able to do a better job of solving Illinois’ Buzz defense in its second try.

“We just made plays,” McKeown said. “Defensive-ly, they don’t let you run your offense, so you got to make plays, so I thought we did a better job with that tonight.”

One player who made plays for the Wildcats was senior forward Kendall Hackney, who finished with 21 points. Illinois couldn’t keep track of Hackney, and she found herself unguarded under the basket on multiple occasions.

Northwestern point guard Karly Roser also improved, turning the ball over nine times after committing 15 turnovers in the teams’ first meeting. Overall, the Wild-cats cut down on turnovers, finishing with 23, 11 fewer than in the Jan. 10 matchup.

Illinois was coming off a 62-52 win at Nebraska on Thursday, one of its most impressive of the season, but with Sunday’s loss, the Illini fell to 0-4 in games decided by fewer than four points.

Illinois was celebrating the 40th anniversary of Title IX by honoring local women who have impacted the com-munity, as well as former Illini athletes. Among those honored were Urbana May-or Laurel Prussing, 2003 Miss America Erika Harold, Paralympian Jean Driscoll and basketball great Ash-ley Berggren. The Illinois volleyball, soccer, softball and women’s gymnastics teams were also honored. The teams were available for autographs and pictures before the game.

Illinois had a crowd of 2,495, the second-highest of the season, and the highest-paid attendance for a game since around 4,800 watched as Illinois hosted Marquette in the 2010 WNIT.

are working on and how they are coming along. UIC last week was kinda just a warm up, but the freshmen got to feel the intense energy Saturday and

it’s one of the most fun meets of the year.”

This is the second year in a row that Illinois has finished one place short of taking the Windy City Invitational title. The last time the Illini clinched the title was in 2011. Though the close finish brings disap-

pointment, Illinois won’t let it affect the outcome of future competitions.

“We’re not really looking at any other teams,” Mori said. “We aren’t really focusing on why Michigan beat us. We are trying to do our own thing, like an ‘all eyes on us’ type of thing.

We’re not very far behind and we know there are a lot of improvements that we need to make. This was a good wake-up call for us to find out what we did wrong and fix it.”
