URBANA HOUSE CATCHES FIREURBANA HOUSE CATCHES FIREBY JEFF KIRSHMAN AND CHAD THORNBURGCOPY CHIEF AND STAFF WRITER

An Urbana house located on the 400 block of Oregon Street caught fi re in the late afternoon Sunday .

The owners of the house, Leon and Judith McCulloh , were not home when the incident occurred. The fi rst call was reported by a neighbor to the fi re department at 3:47 p.m. Emergency responders arrived on the scene within four minutes, Urbana Fire Marshal Phil Edwards said. No civilians or fi refi ghters were injured.

The blue house is still standing, and the original location and cause of the fi re are still unknown.

Firefi ghters were still in the process of putting out the fi re as of 5 p.m. Sun-day, at which time Edwards classifi ed the fi re as Second Alarm. Edwards esti-mated 20-25 fi refi ghters were on the scene.

“With the size of the house, the size of the fi re when we got here, we imme-diately went to a second alarm,” Edwards said. “The First Alarm, you would get three engines, then a truck. When you go to a Second Alarm, then you get additional engines, you get an additional command offi cer and you get all these extra resources that come in. That’s the difference between the fi rst and the second alarm, how big the fi re is, how big the building is.”

Edwards said a proper estimation of the damage wouldn’t be known until the investigation was complete.

“When you think about fi re damage, it’s not just what burned, but also what’s damaged by the smoke.”

Jeanne Gravy, 66, was watching TV and working on her computer when she saw the entire side of her next-door neighbors’ house engulfed in fl ames.

“I never use this term, and this time it was of prayer: ‘Oh, my God,’” Gravy said. “I’ve never seen a house like that before. ... I called my daughter. She said pack a bag, get the cats in the crate and get ready to vacate.”

Another one of the McCulloh’s neighbors, Anne Casey , said the house, which was known around the neighborhood for its aesthetics, had been recently remodeled.

“I know them because they have the most beautiful garden in the neighbor-hood,” said Casey, 57. “Everybody goes over there all the time and tells them how beautiful it is.”

A shed located behind a residence across the street from the fi re also caught fi re, but it was extinguished earlier in the afternoon.

“The houses are pretty close here, so there’s a little bit of a challenge there. As far as what’s happening inside, I don’t know what challenge they have inside the house.”

Leon McCulloh is a retired math professor from the University.

The statue that represents the long-stand-ing tradition of the University will be taking a vacation until next May.

The Alma Mater , located on Wright Street next to the Union, will be going under pres-ervation for the next 10 months to fi x cracks and also to bring back its original color through the help of lasers.

The idea to conserve the statute came about two years ago when the Preservation Working Group, or PWG , conducted a cam-puswide survey on what needed to be fi xed. Around 25 students responded and with the help of the PWG, there was a push to get some work done on the statue.

“The Preservation Working Group did a campuswide survey of heritage collec-tions on campus, and we’re looking at out-door art,” conservation librarian and PWG chair Jennifer Hain Teper said. “Because we were looking and, we have a critical eye, we noticed some signs of deterioration on the Alma Mater that concerned us. Basi-cally when you start seeing visual signs of deterioration, that’s usually a good sign that it’s time to have some professional look at

it before the damage becomes permanent.”Teper, Christa Deacy-Quinn and Melvyn

Skvarla , members of the PWG were part of a committee that helped choose a conserva-tor for the Alma Mater.

Deacy-Quinn, collections manager at the Spurlock Museum and PWG member, described the process like going to the doc-tor. The Alma Mater had to be diagnosed and then the process of fi xing it could begin.

The statue will be taken down on Aug. 6 and then worked on by Conservation of Sculpture and Objects Studio . Though the statue was supposed to be taken down ear-lier in the summer, the studio that was awarded the job of restoration picked the date that would work best for them based on availability.

“We had to select a fi rm conservation com-pany that could actually take care (of the Alma Mater) and do the proper thing, so we had to evaluate that,” Deacy-Quinn said.

This isn’t the fi rst time the Alma Mater has been worked on since it was erected 90 years ago. In 1981, the statute underwent small repairs . Caulk was used to fi ll in some of the cracks, and that was the fi rst time caulk was used on the statue . This time the Alma

Mater will be undergoing full restoration.The conservation fi rm is going to go

through and try to fi nd the original color of the Alma Mater.

“Lorado Taft, the sculptor for the Alma Mater, he had a particular color in mind,” Deacy-Quinn said. “What happens is, as it has been outside, the piece has been oxidiz-ing. So that’s why the color has been turn-ing. That may not have been the original color that the artist intended, but everybody is used to seeing the sculpture this color.”

The project has gotten some of its fund-ing from donations. According to Teper, that isn’t the only place money is coming from.

“The Chancellor’s fund was used to pay for this,” Teper said. “They’ve been very sup-portive of bringing in a conservator to be able to do the work and to fund that through campus funds.”

According to Andrew Blacker, who spoke for campus historical preservation offi cer Skvarla while he is on medical leave, the project will cost approximately $100,000.

A big part of the project being delayed was the worry that the Alma Mater would not be up in time for the 2013 graduating class to take pictures in front of. However, in the con-

tract for the preservation, the deadline for the work was scheduled to be done by May. Though it is a later start than some people imagined, that deadline is still on pace to be met. As Deacy-Quinn put it, “what would a graduation be like without the Alma Mater?”

To make sure everyone knows what is going on in the project, there will be three seminars hosted through the year to track the progress of the statue. The fi rst will be on Sept. 28 at the Spurlock Museum.

The meetings will be opened to not just students and faculty, but anyone who wish-es to attend.

“The main thing is the preservation work-ing group also is all about educating peo-ple about preservation,” Deacy-Quinn said. “What we wanted to do is, the Alma Mater is a beloved piece on campus, and we wanted to keep people updated on that and also get them interested in the preservation process.”

As Deacy-Quinn said, fi nding out more about the project may ease the pain that some people may have when the statue is gone.

“Everyone is really interested in the Alma Mater, and if she is gone, we need to be talk-ing about it,” Deacy-Quinn said.

Alma Mater scheduled to be removed for reconstruction in August

The White Horse Inn is prepped and ready. The Champaign health department, not so much.

White Horse had intentions of reopening at its new location at 510 E. John St., the former location of the bar Fire Station, on Aug. 1, but will have to wait at least two weeks for the health department to review the location.

“We put in our paperwork with the health department, but appar-ently there’s a queue that you have to wait for,” part-owner Daina Mat-tis said. “We thought we’d be able to get everything done. We’re quite ready — just waiting on them.”

Mattis said she anticipates the bar will open before the beginning of the fall semester, but that she would prefer there be a couple of weeks to iron out kinks and pre-pare the staff.

The White Horse had been locat-ed at 112 E. Green St., since 1973, but briefly closed under previous ownership in November 2007. Mat-tis and her husband, Aidas, part-owner of the bar and a medical and doctoral student at the University, joined in 2008 and reopened the bar.

White Horse closed its kitch-en within months of reopening because of its inconvenient location and shut down completely again in February 2010 with intentions of finding a new location.

“The food was struggling because we were so far away, so we decided to close down the kitch-en and open the bar from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. The model was working for us, actually.”

White Horse had its heart set on the central location of 510 E. John

St., but the ownership of Fire Sta-tion secured the spot mere weeks ahead of them.

After looking at a few more locations, including one near Busey Bank, ownership decided to return to its old location in Jan-uary 2011 before it could lose its liquor license. Its kitchen doors remained shut.

“It was definitely frustrating, but we left the building in great shape so we basically just put those old shoes back on,” Mattis said.

Fire Station closed after two years of questionable manage-ment. The establishment was legal-ly a restaurant but often promoted itself more like a bar.

“They just called one day and said we’re not opening,” said Mad-eleine Ogrinc, senior in material sciences and engineering and a for-mer Fire Station employee. “Bad management. ... We were one bar that got badly in trouble.”

At the end of the year, Mattis said, an establishment needs to present certain business percentag-es based on its licenses. As a restau-rant, Fire Station needed at least 60 percent of its profits to come from food and only a maximum of 40 percent of its business could come from alcohol sales. Mattis said she doesn’t anticipate similar problems at White Horse.

While White Horse isn’t interest-ed in focusing as much of its atten-tion on its food menu, it is hoping to attract customers with a unique del-icacy: White Horse will import 12 different kinds of German sausag-es from Continental Gourmet Sau-sages, located in Glendale, Calif.

“It’s just something different that you can’t really get in Cham-paign,” Mattis said. “You can get

burgers everywhere. These sau-sages are different than anything else.”

Mattis said one of the most appealing aspects of moving White Horse to its location was that the bar is how University students will associate the bar with other bars in the “hub of everything.”

“‘Townies,’ as they call them-selves, thought that our bar was a Campustown bar, and the Cam-

pustown people thought we were a Townie bar, so we were alienating both,” Mattis said. “In the heyday, before downtown Champaign was built up, White Horse was the place to go. But once downtown got built up, people started going downtown. We got stuck in no-man’s land.”

Still, establishing a demographic of customers doesn’t happen over-night. Many bars, such as KAM’S, Joe’s and Red Lion, have a strong

Greek presence, while the bars Murhpy’s and Legends cater to a different crowd.

“What I’ve noticed is that even in places like Clybourne’s and Firehaus, during the day they get a bunch of graduate students and construction workers and so forth,” Mattis said. “And we’re happy to hit that market. ... You want to reach out to everybody and have some-thing to appeal to everybody.”

The University’s College of Law has been fined $250,000 by the American Bar Association, or ABA, as the organiza-tion wrapped up its investigation into the college Tuesday.

In November 2011, the University and its hired inves-tigative team found that former assistant dean of admis-sions and financial aid Paul Pless had manipulated student data for eight years in order to make the college appear more selective.

In the fall, the ABA launched a concurrent investi-gation into the situation, the findings of which were not released until Tuesday.

Pless is not mentioned by name in the ABA’s full report — only by title. The college as a whole will pay the con-sequences, including the fine.

The college must also hire and pay a compliance moni-tor for the next two academic years in order to indepen-dently keep an eye on student data entry.

Additionally, the ABA has effectively ended the Illinois Law Early Action Program, or iLEAP, which allowed Uni-versity juniors to apply to the college without having to take the LSAT.

Permission for this program was granted by the ABA in June 2009 as a “variance” of Standard 503 in the ABA’s accreditation rules. Standard 503 requires that students seeking entrance to accredited law schools must take the appropriate test, in this case, the LSAT, according to americanbar.org.

“The Assistant Dean for Admissions was instrumental in the development and implementation of this plan, and noted that a key objective was to secure the enrollment of students with high undergraduate GPAs, without hav-ing to count their LSAT scores, with the resulting benefit from a law school ranking perspective,” the report reads. “The variance was not granted by the Council for this purpose and, had the Council been aware of how it would be used, the variance request would have been denied.”

Forensic analysis of Pless’ computer in the fall revealed emails to colleagues in which he admitted his interest in instituting iLEAP.

A now infamous quote stated his main concern lay in the iLEAP students’ high academic performance in under-graduate studies.

“I am a maverick and a reformer, so I started a new pro-gram for U of I undergrads to apply in their junior year and we don’t require the LSAT,” Pless wrote in an email to a colleague on Oct. 28, 2008. “We have additional essays and an interview instead. That way, I can trap about 20 of the little bastards with high GPAs that count and no LSAT score to count against my median.”

In a move similar to the ABA’s censure of Villanova University’s law school last summer, the organization charged the College of Law with both coming up with a report to be distributed to all accredited law schools and publicly displaying the findings of the investigation for at least two years.

Fires, drought and more than 4,000 broken temperature records have made the summer of 2012 particularly note-worthy. But the unshakeable heat has provided the impetus to push research in alternative fuel sources and bioenergy in a different direction.

The Department of Energy awarded a $12.1 million grant toward research into drought-tolerant grasses as a sustain-able bioenergy source. The fi ve-year project will be headed by the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis in collaboration with the University, the Carnegie Institu-tion for Science, the University of Minnesota and Wash-ington State University.

Andrew Leakey, whose lab will be receiving a portion of the funding here at the University, said work has already begun to get the project rolling and its timing was perfect.

“There are two real purposes for approving the grant. The fi rst is that the drought is the No. 1 thing globally affecting crops. It’s going to be a real challenge to agricul-ture for a long time,” Leakey said. “The other element is that in order to provide enough food and fuel for ourselves, we need to make as much use of the land as possible.”

The lab will be using a panel of 200 hundred genome types of Setaria viridis, a plant closely related to already prominent bioenergy feedstocks, such as switchgrass and even corn . These grasses are then exposed to wet and dry conditions, and they are assessed for the greatest fertility. Those grass types that are most successful under drought-like conditions are then screened for the genetic sequences responsible for their tolerance of drought.

“If we can identify the genes that make (Setaria) drought tolerant, we can develop other drought tolerant crops (because) those genes are probably present in those other

closely related types of grass-es,” Leakey said.

The initiation of the proj-ect is opening many doors of opportunity for undergradu-ates interested in research, Leakey added.

Stephanie Klein, senior in LAS , is one of Leakey’s undergraduate research assistants who has been heav-ily involved in the prelimi-nary work that has been done so far, such as laying out the plots for the panels of Setar-ia and sampling the genetic material.

“I think it’ll be interesting to see how different envi-ronments change how genes express themselves,” Klein said. “Bioenergy resourc-es are a big talking point in today’s economy and politi-cal discourse. So I think my involvement in this project is very worthwhile because it’s a part of something so ground breaking.”

Undergraduates aspiring to work in the industry or pursue graduate work have been critical resources for carrying out the project, Leakey said, and was the reason why the University is one of the collaborators.

“It’s a two-way street: We have the resources and peo-ple to carry out this research, and the students have this wonderful opportunity to be a part of something excit-ing,” Leakey said.

U.S. Congressman John Shimkus, left, speaks on Friday with Luke Timmermann in one of Timmermann's remaining corn fi elds at his St. Rose, Illinois dairy farm. He raises the corn as feed for his dairy operation, and has had to harvest much of it and place it in long-term storage as silage for the livestock due to the drought. The corn is stunted in size and development due to the drought and, despite Timmermann's efforts, to increase size and yield.

It may not seem logical to hang the num-ber four on a door in a three-bedroom apartment, but John Lock, 2011 Univer-sity alumnus and Nabor house fraternity board member, plans to proudly display this remnant of his Nabor house bedroom in his new place. The small keepsake will remind him of the time he spent in the old white home that was demolished earlier this summer.

According to Lock, the agricultural fraternity house on Lincoln Avenue held around 30-40 members each year, and the wear and tear on the house was evident. On the second floor, he said, there was even a hallway with curved flooring.

“You couldn’t roll a ball down the hallway without it hitting into the wall,” he laughed.

For the past seven or eight years, the fraternity board has been working to get plans approved, but the funds for $2 mil-lion construction costs were raised in less than a year by an alumni base of about 500.

“The fact that we could do that was ... I couldn’t believe it,” Lock said. “Our alumni were really generous.”

Part of the fundraising effort was an initiative called “Building with Bushels,” said Jeff Ray, vice president of the Nabor house fraternity board. Keeping with their agricultural tradition, Nabor house accept-ed livestock or grain donations and sold them, putting the profits toward the new house. Ray said that a significant amount of money was raised through this effort, the brainchild of Bob Stewart, Nabor house fraternity president.

The demolition began May 17, according

to the project website, “BuildNaborHouse.com.” The building company, Homeway Homes, constructed the house off-site in 19 pieces and the project is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 15, Lock said. Until the house is ready for members to move in, the plan is in motion for members to live in Illini Towers.

Though nothing has been signed yet, Lock said that the fraternity will pay to house as many of the 36 members as it can afford in IT.

Figuring out where to house members until the project’s completion is only one of the many details that had to be worked out in the expensive project. The board mem-bers are volunteers but have been putting in countless hours to make sure everything runs smoothly.

“That’s one of the founding spirits of Nabor House: to work, work hard and work together and so we’ve definitely been doing that through this project,” Ray said.

Lock said that members and alumni look forward to having a spacious new facil-ity where members can live comfortably, alumni can attend annual meetings and potential high school recruits can visit. They anticipate that the new house will be helpful in this fall’s recruitment.

Nabor House is not the only fraternity undergoing changes this summer. Ashley Dye, director of fraternity and sorority affairs, said that Acacia will be making renovations to the former Phi Mu soror-ity house before calling it their home in the fall.

Their crest and fraternity name are already boldly on display against the white brick exterior of the house.

Sigma Kappa sorority also will have a new a ramp on the west side of their house when members return in the fall. Fund-ed by Sigma Kappa’s finance corporation funds, the ramp is part of a Sigma Kappa initiative to ensure that they include every-one, including a current member who uses a wheelchair, said Doris Liestman, Sigma Kappa’s property manager.

“We felt like we wanted our house to be accessible to everyone — both members and grandparents and family that come to our house in wheelchairs,” she said. “And we want everybody to be able to enter and partake.”

The project began July 18 and is sched-uled to be complete in early August, Liest-man said.

The Urbana City Council will vote this week on a con-troversial video-gambling ordinance. The ordinance will decide whether the city of Urbana will allow video-gam-bling machines in bars and restaurants.

On Monday, council members will finally decide where the city stands on this issue.

At last week’s meeting, several stipulations of the ordi-nance were revised. As it currently stands, the ordinance states that businesses that want to have video-gambling machines must pay a $200 licensing fee. These businesses do not have to limit their entry to 21 year olds.

The initial proposal was revised so that now 12 licenses will be available to Urbana businesses versus the original six licenses. The state law on this issue is generally regard-ed as less restrictive than the Urbana law.

Last month, the Champaign City Council decided it would not ban video gambling. Staying competitive within the area for Urbana might mean needing to approve this ordinance. But many in the community have a problem with allowing gambling machines in local businesses.

The Urbana City Council has taken all of this informa-tion into consideration and believes the ordinance is rea-sonable as it stands.

“I support the ordinance as it’s revised because I think it strikes a middle ground between the points of view that we should ban it or it should be restricted,” Alderman Diane Marlin, Ward 7, said.

Alderman Charlie Smyth, Ward 1, agreed that the law has

been revised to try to please both proponents and opponents. “I have no problem with the ordinance as it’s revised,”

Smyth said. “It’s a more reasonable licensing price from a city point of view.”

Smyth and the other aldermen will have the ability to revise the ordinance later in the year should they see fit.

“We’re protecting ourselves in a way by limiting the num-ber of licenses that will be granted,” Smyth explained. “But there is the ability to add more licenses.”

Not everyone sees the ordinance as being the best solu-tion to the problem.

Alderman Robert Lewis, Ward 3, wants people to know the law may have more of an effect on our community than they think.

“Some will tell you the statistical impact of video-gam-bling machines is minimal,” Lewis said. “But I think eco-nomic times mean people are more inclined to take a chance and gamble.”

Besides being morally against gambling, Lewis thinks the ordinance might have unforeseen consequences.

“This might put additional stress on local law enforce-ment,” Lewis explained. “University students would have more access to gambling, and students shouldn’t be squan-dering their funds.”

Not passing this ordinance, however, might do more harm than help for the city of Urbana.

“We’re taking a practical position at this point,” Smyth said. “People will always find a way to gamble if they want to, and it allows Urbana businesses to be on equal footing.”

The issue has been compared to that of alcohol prohibi-

tion, namely people will gamble regardless of whether it is a societal cost. The Urbana City Council says that they regard liquor licenses in the same way.

“If our business community needs this to be competitive, and it has no real impact on the city. I don’t see any reason why we should stand in the way,” Smyth said.

In 2009, the state approved its Video Gaming Act. The act imposed a tax on the net income of each machine and directs a percentage of those revenues to state projects.

Some of the aldermen believe the state needs to come up with better ways to raise funds.

“Making money off of gambling is a lousy way to fund government,” Smyth said. “In many cases, gambling takes advantage of those with lower incomes.”

Smyth explained how those in poverty may be more like-ly to seek out gambling as a means of desperately trying to find a way out.

“We may end up taxing people who may not be in a posi-tion to pay,” Smyth said. “Ironically, most of the time it ends up being the lower income people who can’t afford it.”

“I think that when this law was signed to raise revenues, it was misguided,” Lewis said. “I think it impacts more peo-ple than one could anticipate.”

This is a multifaceted issue that will undoubtedly remain controversial. The Urbana City Council will do their best to come up with a solution that keeps everyone’s interests in mind.

“We tried to find a balance, something we can live with,” Marlin said. “It won’t make everyone happy, but it strikes middle ground.”

In a summer characterized by a drought, it comes as no sur-prise that Campustown businesses haven’t exactly been making it rain.

With many businesses trying to conserve resources and funds in a time when two-thirds of the student population has vacated campus, there are plenty of white sheets of paper taped on doors announcing summer hours or impending renovations.

“It’s just a mat-ter of when peo-ple come out,” said John Acord, a man-ager at Murphy’s Pub. “I mean during that heat spell, a lot of people were stay-ing inside.”

Acord said he had no specific knowl-edge of the pub’s financial numbers, but said the bar experienced a fair-ly slow summer, relative to the eight years he’s worked there. Acord said the bar was inhibited by the lack of suc-cess from Chicago sports teams.

“Last summer it was better because the Bulls made a deeper run in the playoffs, and that always helps our business,” he said. “The Bulls obviously had a problem in the first round , so that kinda hurts because obviously there are plenty of Bulls fans around here.”

He added that the lack of success by the Blackhawks and the Cubs were detrimental to business. He said it has been reaching capacity about once a week, and that’s with keeping the east wing of the pub closed, as compared with reaching capacity three or four nights a week

during the school year.Many bars have taken to closing

down early on weeknights.As the amount of drinking on

campus goes down, so does the amount of late night food cravings. Many school-year mainstays, such as Fat Sandwich, have reduced busi-ness during the summer.

One late night food stop, Silver Mine Subs, has faithfully endured

the tepid busi-ness climate, r e m a i n i n g open until 3 a.m. every night — even on nights when its neighboring bar and stron-gest produc-er of custom-ers, KAM’S, is closed. Silver Mine, locat-ed on Daniel Street, shares the street with Subway, which has closed for the summer, a vacant building that formerly housed the bar

C.O. Daniels, Home of Gourmet Chi-nese Restaurant, which was closed into July for renovations, KAM’S, the Illinois Union Bookstore and Espresso Royale, which truncated its hours this year.

Why stay open in such an unideal context? Advertising, said manager Patrick Grady.

“Basically, we’re open 7 (a.m.) till 3 (a.m.), I mean why not do that? It doesn’t make any sense to change hours,” Grady said. “If people are used to you being open till 3 a.m., and then you start closing early: ‘Are they gonna be open?’ That’s gonna be their question.”

During the summer, Campus-

town businesses lose their employ-ees in the same way they lose their patrons, so businesses can rehire a smaller staff to save money. Despite this, businesses know to brace for impact in the wake of losing so many consumers, relying on sum-mer school students, University camp attendees and residents from other parts of the city to get by.

An event that helped out Campus-town business earlier in the sum-mer was Streetfest, a one-day block party on Green Street that featured live music and various food specials and entertainment acts. Also, the weekly Thirteen Thursdays helps

bring Champaign residents to Cam-pustown for discounts and deals during the summer. Both were championed by the Champaign Center Partnership, or CCP, which seeks to integrate patrons from the city’s different business districts.

The CCP’s executive director, T.J. Blakeman , said his institution’s initiatives have proved beneficial to fighting Campustown’s summer slowdown.

“I think (business) has been very similar to other years, although I’d like to think with some of the extra stuff we’ve been doing on campus, that that’s helped,” Blakeman said.

“Thirteen Thursdays, we did our summer concert down there, we’re hearing that those things are driv-ing traffic.”

The worst part of the summer is around the corner: the leasing gap. Summer school is over, the fall semester has yet to begin, and most of the relatively sparse reg-ular business Campustown estab-lishments have come to rely upon vanishes.

Luckily for the Campustown economy, it’s just a few short weeks until the fall semester begins, bringing nearly 40,000 students with it.

Campustown businesses await students returnDrought, heat present additional challenges during summer months


Murphy’s Pub is one of many establishments suffering through the summer slowdown. The heat and drought have exacerbated an already bad business climate in Campustown during summer months.

It doesn’t make any sense to change hours.

If people are used to you being open till 3

a.m., and then you start closing early: ‘Are they gonna be open?’ That’s

gonna be their question.”PATRICK GRADY,

manager for Silver Mine Subs

Opinions8MondayJuly 30, 2012The Daily Illiniwww.DailyIllini.com

Coming to Illinois from across the country, I have scoured the Champaign-Urbana area for unique cui-sine and new eateries that are unavailable in my

native Oregon. Papa Del’s, of course, is a favorite haunt of mine, and I try to make a trip out to Steak ’n Shake every month or so as well.

However, despite its absence in my hometown, I have felt no strong impulse to give the local Chick-fil-A a try.

The chicken-specializing fast-food chain hit the news recently after remarks by its COO Dan Cathy in defense of “the biblical definition of the family unit.” Chick-fil-A has earned fame for basing its business practices on biblical principles, most visibly closing Sundays, but these prac-tices have led to some infamy as well: The company has donated millions of dollars over the years to what it calls pro-family groups — and what others call anti-gay groups.

The COO’s remarks have thrown the company’s busi-ness practices back under the limelight. The Jim Henson Company severed its ties with Chick-fil-A, pulling Ker-mit and Miss Piggy from kid’s meals across the nation. Several mayors, including Rahm Emanuel of Chicago, have objected to the building of any more Chick-fil-A franchises in their cities (for which, in turn, the mayors have been scorned by the left and right).

And there have been renewed calls for a general boycott.

Odds are if you have hung around the Quad long enough, dear reader, you have met someone whose whole rai-son d’etre entails convincing you to join their boycott of choice. You try not to make eye contact. You run. You hide. But they find you all the same, shoving a pamphlet under your nose until you are forced, guiltily, to take it and slink off the Quad.

Half the time, the reasons given for joining the boy-cott make me less interested in protesting, not more. I

do not need the concern of animal cruelty hanging over my head to make me forsake eating a steak in favor of a few more carrots; wanting to eat healthy does that job just fine. Reducing global bovine discomfiture is then a nice bonus, rather than a gnawing guilt.

Likewise, I have no desire to transform into a seething ball of hate and bile toward Chick-fil-A; most would be turned away by my anger, and it would give the targets of said anger a martyr complex they do not need. Still, I do not want to go there. The way Chick-fil-A has politi-cized its food (and thereby, my purchase of its food) has pushed me away.

In some sense, one cannot avoid politics in food. I am sure that I have, at some point, purchased an onion grown on the farm of a racist, misogynist twit who believes that Muslims and anyone of Mexican descent should be deported without due process. There is nothing I can really do about that.

After all, grocers do not place stickers on each onion they sell warning potential buyers of the political incli-nations of the grower. The good and bad are tossed in alike. There is no way to support any political view over another by picking a certain kind of onion — unless you pick up the organic one, but that is another issue entirely.

However, Chick-fil-A’s statements and contributions might as well have slapped that sticker onto their meals: If you purchase this lunch, part of the proceeds will go to these causes. It would be one thing if Cathy himself, using the wealth he has accumulated from successfully managing his company, were to support these causes; at least then there would be a step removed and no direct connection to what my money would support. But here, the company itself is giving the money.

Simply put, if my lunch has to be political, I at least want it to be political toward things I support.

So, Chick-Fil-A, as cute as your cows are suggesting that I “Eat Mor Chikin,” if I feel the need for a fast-food lunch, I might skip your place and pick up a smoothie instead.

Which, as a nice bonus, will probably make some ani-mal cruelty crusader quite happy.

I take my food without politicsE very four years

during the sum-mer, the world

surrounds around its televisions to watch the top athletes com-pete for two weeks in sports varying from swimming to equestri-an.

The Summer Olym-pics is an event unlike any other. The 2012 London Games has over 10,000 athletes represent-ing 204 countries — 11 more countries than in the United Nations — and all have at least one woman on their team.

It’s a time where we watch sports that otherwise go undetected for four years. When was the last time you watched swimming or gymnastics? But even though the baseline for the Olympics is all about sports, it is so much more than that.

These two weeks are about friendship between other athletes, but even more friendship between other countries. It’s about achieving the ultimate sports dream. It’s about respect for other athletes, coaches and countries. It’s about achieving excel-lence and returning home a hero, even without a medal.

It’s those three Olympic values — friendship, re-spect and excellence — that shape every Olympics.

The Olympics represent what we should strive for this world to become: competitive, but respectful.

There will always be rivalry in sports, even rival-ry within the same team, and there will always be winners and losers in sports. But that is not what the Olympics are about.

The Olympics are about everything the offi-cial website says, “To build a better world through sport.”

So, while watching these Olympic Games, go ahead and cheer for the athletes of your country. But also cheer for the handshakes that conclude ev-ery competition.

Olympics are more than just sports

BY CHAD THORNBURGSTAFF WRITER

CHICAGO — When Illinois head coach Tim Beckman took the podium Thursday at Big Ten Football Media Days, he didn’t waste any time before addressing Illinois’ alleged recruiting of Penn State’s players in State College, Pa.

“I know it’s going to be asked, so I’m going to attack it because I’m a proactive guy,” Beckman said. “We were in State College, but we did not go onto their campus.”

In wake of the sanctions imposed by the NCAA and the Big Ten, all Penn State players are able to change schools without penalty or limitations on transferring within the conference.

“It’s like NFL free agency without the rules,” said Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien. “They can do what they want as long as they tell our compliance office that they’re con-tacting these kids, and it is what it is.”

Reports surfaced Wednesday that a contingent of Illi-nois coaches was spotted leaving an airport on the way to meet with Penn State players. Beckman confirmed eight coaches went to State College but said they set up shop at nearby restaurants rather than on Penn State’s campus.

“I did not want our coaching staff on their campus,” Beckman said. “I told the staff before, we’re going so that the players can come to us and not us go to them. I don’t know if that makes it right or not, but that’s what I said as a head football coach.”

Beckman said the coaches were sent to Penn State in response to a player who reached out to them with interest in transferring to Illinois, and then the staff made them-selves available to “a few” other players interested in mak-ing the move to Champaign.

To comply with NCAA rules, Illinois sent Penn State a list of players the Illini are in discussions with, but Beck-man declined to comment on which players or how many names are on the list.

Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas said Illinois is operating within NCAA and Big Ten protocols and that

he’s comfortable with how the Illini coach-es have handled the situation.

“The focus is on us because it was rec-ognized that we were there,” Thomas said. “But I can tell you we weren’t the only ones that were.”

He added that he didn’t necessarily view the Illinois con-tingent in State Col-lege as recruiters.

“When I think of that, it’s going in and doing a hard sell and being really aggres-sive,” Thomas said. “That wasn’t the case here.”

Penn State’s play-ers aren’t only on Beckman and the Illi-ni’s radar. USC’s Lane Kiffin is reportedly close to luring away Penn State’s star run-ning back Silas Redd, and O’Brien told ESPN on Wednesday that there were numerous coaches on Penn State’s campus recruiting his players.

“I have no idea what schools were on our campus, nor do I care,” O’Brien said. As of Thursday, O’Brien said he doesn’t know if any players plan to transfer.

Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said he is concerned the situation could cause be damaging to the health of the

league and its players. Delany met with the conference coaches Thursday morning and laid out the ground rules for the transfer protocols.

“We’ve tried to articulate how this could be damaging,” Delany said. “If a player is interested in talking to you or has an interest in your university, so be it ... But there comes a point of reasonableness, where if a person says, ‘I’m not interested, I don’t want to talk to you,’ move on.”

“No sanction, no politician is ever going to take away what we’ve got here,” Penn State linebacker Michael Mauti said outside the school’s football facility Wednesday. “We’re going to fight for Penn State, fight for each other. Because this is what Penn State’s about — fighting through adversity.”

Mauti’s sentiments are noble, but they are also misplaced. Unprecedented crimes called for an unprecedented series of penalties.

The sanctions against Penn State are not the result of a witch hunt by the NCAA. Nor is it the NCAA’s fault that Penn State is in trouble. Mauti, who appears to be speaking for many in Happy Valley, is pointing his arrows at the NCAA for taking away the bowl games and the scholarships and the money. But the NCAA didn’t do this. Penn State officials did.

Mauti and head coach Bill O’Brien are treating the situation like it’s any other source of adversity. This is not something to use as a chip on your shoulder. This isn’t just football. It’s more, and it’s worse.

I’m not going to pretend that restrict-ing the football team from bowl games will

enhance the victims’ healing process. But where was the outcry when USC was pun-ished in 2010 or any of the other acts deemed worthy of penalization by the NCAA? Matt Barkley shouldn’t have to answer for some-thing Bush did.

Yet that will always be the case. Punish-ment by the NCAA is always flawed to an extent because players who accept illicit benefits are often out of college by the time they surface. That’s life. The Penn State play-ers can still keep their scholarships even if they elect to stop playing football. And if they want to transfer, they can do that too. In the shady underworld of college recruiting, all a player can do is hope their school stays clean. This is not a perfect solution. Actions by the NCAA either extend to students who weren’t involved, or it is going easy on an institution that can’t possibly suffer enough for its crimes. I’m OK with suffering at the expense of football games.

As Yahoo columnist Dan Wetzel wrote: “Penn State and its fans always said the pro-gram was about more than winning. The next decade will offer them a chance to prove it.”

Sometimes, the fight against adversity is one worth conceding.

BY ETHAN ASOFSKYSTAFF WRITER

I’m not going to pretend to be an expert in punishing monsters, but in the wake of the unprecedented penalties against Penn State’s football program, it’s apparent the NCAA isn’t an expert on the subject either. These are uncharted waters.

The world of college football is unfamiliar with the types of people who hid Jerry San-dusky’s atrocities that took place in Penn State locker rooms, elementary schools or in a ques-tionably soundproofed basement.

But those are criminal allegations. The NCAA, by namesake, is an athletic associa-tion. The monster it sought to punish earlier this week was the Penn State football program, and the overbearing culture that led to a “lack of institutional control” by the university.

The 96 men on the Penn State roster are now essentially NFL free agents, minus a paycheck. In so many words, the NCAA’s mission is to turn the football program into a ghost town; its players best suited by transferring and leav-ing the program in the dust.

The NCAA’s punishment ultimately misfired at the wrong perpetrator. It’s not the players. It’s the culture. Some things are just bigger

than football. That’s the NCAA’s message, and it’s an important one. However, the punishment that was imposed is lazy. It’s uncreative in a matter that deserves the utmost creativity.

Former Daily Illini assistant editor Spencer Turkin and I were talking the night before the “unprecedented sanctions” were released. He came up with, what I believe, is a proper solu-tion that delivers the correct message.

Let nobody in. Allow Penn State football to continue as usual, bowl-game eligibility and all, but don’t let fans into the stadium for the next few years. Outlaw tailgating. Blackout the television feed in Pennsylvania. Mandate the formation of a victim charity fund. Don’t allow the university to take in football rev-enue, but make it dish out stipends to local businesses and workers that would lose mon-ey from the eliminated crowds on Saturdays. Send the culture surrounding the program back to the Stone Age.

Punish the real monster. When Joe Paterno first took over, his football program put State College, Pa., on the map. The NCAA should entrust academics to keep it there. Make the university shift its focus from football and prove that “We are Penn State” means more than what happens from end line to end line.

Beckman addresses Penn State recruiting

NCAA sanctions to Penn State: fair or targeting the wrong people?


BY JAMAL COLLIERSTAFF WRITER

As soon as Illinois head coach Tim Beckman arrived at Illinois, he made no secrets about engag-ing in a rivalry with “the team up north.”

In the Illini locker room and meeting room, a Northwestern sign has been crossed out — Beckman’s doing. He has no interest in deny-ing or hiding it, either,

“Starting in high school, remem-ber the team you played down the road that was the team you had to beat” Beckman said. “This is our state school. I figured that would be the rivalry.

“I respect Coach Fitzy (North-western coach Pat Fitzgerald) and his program. I’ve been up there quite a bit, I hope he wins every game but one.”

Illinois, and more specifically Beckman, seem intent on pushing a rivalry between the two schools.

The coaches both expressed a mutual respect for each other and have known each other long before their days in the Big Ten.

But does Northwestern real-ly consider it a rivalry? Fitzger-ald has continually played down a possible rivalry between the two schools.

“I don’t follow a lot of those things closely because I take the focus and the attention on to our program,” Fitzgerald said. “And we’re focused right now on our opener. But before that, we’re going to be focused on ourselves. We have to get a lot better than we were last year, and that’s the chal-lenge as a coaching staff.”

Maybe this rivalry could get heated one day, but for now it doesn’t seem so. Not to North-western linebacker David Nwabui-si, who acknowledged that maybe the rivalry is more fun for fans and alumni at the moment.

“I’m sure fans get a kick out of it,” Nwabuisi said at Friday’s Big

Ten football media day. “Proba-bly got Illinois guys working with Northwestern guys and they’re probably talking smack in the office before they play every year. For us it’s really another game on the calendar. The only difference is were playing for that Land of Lincoln trophy.”

Northwestern offensive lineman Brian Mulroe did go as far as to call the game a rivalry, but then downplayed it meaning more than any other Big Ten games.

“Just any Big Ten opponent is going to be a crazy game,” he said. “Sure it’s a rivalry, but do we change our mindsets going into the

game, probably no.”Despite any Northwestern objec-

tions, Beckman is going to push the matchup with the Wildcats every year, especially if the game can continue to have special venues such as when the game was played at Wrigley Field in 2010.

“I’ve been in those big rivalry

football games, and I think it’s something that you breed through your program,” Beckman said. “We call it the team upstate. And I’m not scared to say that. That’s the school we’re going to call it. We’re going to make it a rivalry and we’re going to make it a very, very important part of our football season.”


CHICAGO — It’s an old sports cliché: taking it one game at a time, one play at a time. It’s also a goal and the mindset the Illinois football team has adopted this year — one that every player is reminded of every time they look down at their right wrist.

The four Illinois representatives at Big Ten Football Media Day, head coach Tim Beckman, offensive line-man Graham Pocic, quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase and defensive lineman Michael Buchanan, each sported a fat, orange wristband with blue letters reading the word “one” written on it.

Directly on the other side is a date, one that Beckman has mentioned several times during the two-day event in Chicago: 12-1-12. It’s the date of the Big Ten Champion-ship game in Indianapolis.

The phrase “one” has a double meaning — an acronym for “operation new era” and to serve as a constant remind-er to take everything one step at a time.

“The fact that one play can change the game,” Scheel-haase said. “That one player. It’s important for all of us. It’s what we’re all about.”

Former players were given the exact same wristband, but with the colors reversed, a blue band with orange writing. Offensive line coach Luke Butkus will be seen sporting both, since he’s a former player and a part of the current program.

The idea for wristbands dates back to Beckman’s days at Oklahoma State, but he gave credit to his wife for the idea of the theme.

“Because the ‘one’ is so important in everything you do,” Beckman said. “Have to take your first step, make

your first catch. In the weight room, you have to have your first rep.

“All of the things important with the name one ... because this is new and the culture is different from what they have had in the past.”

Beckman professed he’s a big believer in mottos and goals to keep his players motivated and that is the key for the constant reminders about the date. As he turned his wristband to the other side, he spoke about how he always wants the goal of the team to be a champion. He’s tried to instill the date in his players’ minds, reminding them of it in as many ways possible.

“We never take these off,” Buchanan said. “It’s kind of like our calling card. Our image. It’s always on our mind, winning a Big Ten championship, and we want to change the program.”

Penn StateOriginally,

Penn State players were not going to attend to Big Ten media days . It wasn’t until a few moments

before the event started that we found out they would be in attendance. It’s hard to view Joe Paterno in a differ-ent light after what has been uncovered through the Freeh Report, but try to bear with me on this.

Paterno still was the person that brought players to Penn State that left the program as role models in society, and as genuine men. And that’s exact-ly what the three Penn State players showed with every question presented: class. Bill O’Brien does have a lot on his plate in his fi rst year, facing the uphill climb of the sanctions delivered by the NCAA. But based on the quality of play-ers he was able to retain for the upcom-ing season, he can still sell the pro-gram’s quality and the NFL pedigree he hails from.

Michael Mauti on the support from the Penn State community: “I’ve had plenty of students email, text me. We hang those emails on our wall for moti-vation. We’ve gotten support from entire Penn State family. I’ve heard from department heads, former players, former coaches. The whole community is backing us.”

NebraskaThe inaugural season

in the Big Ten for the newcomers from Lincoln had its up and downs. They held their own at home, killed on the road, destroyed in the bowl game. Credit the rest of the conference for hold-ing their own last season as many were expecting the Huskers to win the conference handily in their fi rst season. Now that it has the lay of the land, Nebraska can get more familiar with its opponents. Senior running back Rex Burkhead was the ultimate workhorse last season, but expect other backs to get reps next season. However, Nebraska will be very reliant on the run if quarterback Taylor Marti-nez can’t correct his infamous throwing motion.

Burkhead on his workload and the offense: “It depends how the games go. But we have a few new guys that had a good offseason. You’re going to see a lot more comfortable team. Guys know what they were doing now and aren’t running around like chickens with their heads cut off.”

WisconsinFor two straight

years, Bret Bielema’s squad has fell short in the Rose Bowl . Still, you can’t take away from the program he has advanced in his six years at the

helm. Wisconsin has seemed to master the transfer rules, luring their second straight “rental quarterback” to Madison. Last year it was Russell Wilson , and this year it’s Danny O’Brien this year. O’Brien will have two years of eligibility after graduat-ing early from Maryland .

Like Wilson, O’Brien enters the season as probably the best quarterback in the conference without even taking a snap in the Big Ten.

It’s certainly a defi nite that senior run-ning back Montee (now pronounced “Mon-tay”) Ball is the best running back in the conference. He’ll be one of the Heisman frontrunners at the beginning of the sea-son. Ball says the transitions from Scott Tolzien, to Wilson, to O’Brien behind cen-ter has given him different ways to attack defenses. Tolzien was a game-manag-er, Wilson was a risk taker and O’Brien should be a combination of both.

Ball on what Heisman candidates he’s keeping an eye on: “Marcus Lattimore (South Carolina). I have much respect for him and how hard he works. To see the stats he puts up, I most defi nitely try to match him or beat him and I’m sure he does the same.”

Michigan StateRunning the foot-

ball and good defense — basic, but its what made head coach Mark Dan-tonio successful in East Lansing. Last season reminded me of shades of Jeff Smoker, T.J. Duckett and Charles Rog-ers (back when Sparty

wasn’t a choke artist). The offense los-es a lot of fi re power, especially at wide receiver. DeAnthony Arnett arrives from Tennessee and should be the primary target . Defensive end William Gholston and defensive back Johnny Adams were two of the 10 that were named players to watch in the Big Ten .

Dantonio on reaching the posteason: “It’s always been our conversation in our locker room, to get to the Rose Bowl, whether it was 2007 or what year it’s been. And that, to me, is our goal. I think you have to make your goals and you have to climb the ladder when you get to your goals, to get to those goals.”

Ohio StateEnter Urban Meyer to the

Big Ten. After a year in the broadcast booth calling Big Ten games, Meyer brings his championship pedigree and SEC speed from Florida to a conference that has been slowly evolving from tradi-tional stereotype of pro-style offenses and defenses. Mey-er’s offense is very quarter-back-centered (see Alex Smith, Chris Leak and some fellow named Tebow), so Braxton Miller comes into the spot-light after a freshman year in which Ohio State fans would cringe when he dropped back to pass. Despite a year where the postseason isn’t a option for the Scarlet and Grey, an easy nonconference schedule (not a surprise) and favorable Big Ten slate could have Ohio State sitting pretty for a high fi nish. One can only expect the Michigan game to be Ohio State’s bowl game.

Meyer on the Big Ten competing with the SEC: “They have to win bowl games. The coaches in this conference would know much better than I would. I’ll know more obvi-ously next year. But I know one thing: I’ve watched enough fi lm this summer, there’s some very good teams in this con-ference. I anticipate winning is not that far off.”

IllinoisBefore it was

reported that Illi-nois had coaches in State College, they were just another school coming to Chicago to talk to the media about the upcoming season. Instead, fi rst-year

head coach Tim Beckman was bombard-ed with questions about his decision to look at Penn Sate players. Other coach-es were quick to say they decided to not look into Penn State. Then again, can you blame Illinois at all for this? Penn Sate players can play right away, and Beck-man is trying to put his mark on a pro-gram that has been marred by inconsis-tency during the Ron Zook era .

As far as the season goes, Illinois will look to make the most of the absence of Ohio State and Penn State from reaching the Big Ten Championship game. Expect plenty of competition entering the start of Camp Rantoul.

Beckman on the offseason mental-ity: “If you’ve read any of the Twitter stuff that I tweet about Illini Football (@coachbeckman), you know that we build it through competition. I think we had 15 outstanding days of spring going over, competing and playing the fi rst play as if we played the last play and playing at a tempo that we believe is going to be the Illini tempo and being a fi nisher by competing.”

MichiganThe success of

head coach Brady Hoke’s fi rst season warrants him a name on a sandwich at any Ann Arbor eat-ing establishment. I love how Hoke is more personable on the sidelines, never putting on a headset. His coordinators did a masterful job of playing to the team’s strengths of offensive speed on the edges and interior strength on defense. We’re still waiting on Denard Robinson to become a better passer.

Not many are expecting him to come out and carve up the Alabama secondary to open the season . Shoe-lace and the Wolverines will have to survive road tests at Nebraska and Ohio State to be in contention to make it back to Indy.

Hoke on having the tag of the favorite: “Not much, to be honest. I think we were picked fi fth in our divi-sion a year ago. We don’t put much stock in that. It’s like anything in life: It’s not where we start but where we fi nish.”

This year’s MLB First-Year Players draft was much easier for the Illinois baseball team to take than last year’s.

The Illinois team that won the Big Ten Championship in 2011 saw nearly half its members leave for graduation or because of the draft. It forced the Illini to go into 2012 with 18 players who had never played an inning at Illinois.

Four Illini were drafted in this year’s draft this past June, three of them underclassmen — Matt Milroy, Kevin Johnson and Jordan Parr — along with senior Willie Argo, who had no choice but to go to the next level. Milroy decided shortly after that he would sign with the Miami Marlins minor league system.

That left Parr, the Illini’s lead-ing hitter, and Johnson, Illinois’ Friday starter and ace of its staff, to decide just how high the Illini’s incoming expectations could be next year. Losing those players would’ve forced the Illini into a situation similar to last year’s, try-ing to replace so much production and find consistency in the team.

Both Parr and Johnson are cur-rently playing on the same team in Northwoods League during the summer and had a decision to make. They both expected to go somewhere in the top 15 rounds and neither did. Parr fell to the 26th round to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Johnson to the New York Yankees in the 31st. They both spoke to their families to decide what’s best for them, but also confided in the coaching staff.

Parr spoke to bench coach Eric Snider and head coach Dan Har-tleb separately three times, each over the phone, while Johnson spoke with pitching coach Drew Dickinson and coaching assistant

Jason Anderson, each of whom had a large impact on both players’ decisions to stay.

“The cool thing about them is they never tried to tell me what I should or shouldn’t do,” Parr said. “They never tried to do it selfish-ly for the program, so they could get me back and they could have a good player on the team.

“I think that it was one of the those experiences that was real-ly cool of your coaches to help be your mentor too.”

From speaking with his coaches before the draft, Johnson drew a line at the 15th round, although he admitted that he probably would have signed a contract if he got drafted in the top 20 rounds.

Even then, seeing his name get-ting drafted, especially by an orga-nization with the history and tra-dition of the Yankees, was enough to make Johnson think twice about his previous precedent.

He spoke with Anderson, a for-mer Yankees player, about how the team’s system worked; he ulti-mately decided that he should stay in school.

Johnson said the opportunity he wanted would not likely be there in the Yankees system, adding that he wants to go into the big leagues as a starter and he was likely being drafted as a reliever.

Hartleb praised the idea of con-sorting with his players, but said he really thought the two were intelligent enough to make their own decisions.

“We didn’t try to sway them, but I think they needed to be edu-cated and they needed to under-stand exactly what they’re dealing with,” the eight-year head coach said. “I think they both made good decisions.”

Johnson and Parr are taking this experience as a motivation-al tool.

Both players mentioned how not getting drafted as high as they liked increased their desire and intensity training during the summer.

“I feel like there’s some things I can improve on and that there’s no reason I can’t get drafted again higher next year,” Johnson said. “It is a little bit of a disappoint-ment. It kind of makes me want to work a little harder than last year.”

With Parr and Johnson a part of the Illini next season as well, Illi-

nois could be in position to make a run at the Big Ten Championship. Parr says he is excited about the prospects of next season, in what will be his second at Illinois. He wants to take on a leadership role, not necessarily by being the most outspoken, but with his play and leading by example.

Johnson, who was on the 2011 Big Ten championship team, said he believed this team could be “the best team since I’ve been at Illinois.”

However, Hartleb isn’t buy-

ing into the hype too much. He’s excited to not have had his roster depleted by the draft but he still knows nothing will be handed to the Illini.

“We have to improve,” Hartleb said. “If we don’t improve, then we’re right back where you were a year ago.

“I think we can be a very good team, but you can’t talk about being a good team you have go out and you have to prepare and then you have to go out and get your job done.”

BY CHAD THORNBURGSTAFF WRITER

CHICAGO — Since arriving in August, Illinois head football coach Tim Beckman has made an effort to gen-erate excitement about his new program.

On Aug. 26, the day before classes begin at Illinois, Beck-man plans to get the fans involved in a big way — possibly in a record-setting manner.

Beckman will welcome the student body to Memorial Stadium to watch the football team practice over a din-ner of burgers and hot dogs. At the end of the practice, he plans to invite all of the fans to join the field goal unit on the field.

“We’ll try to get as many people on that field as we can and take a picture from the press box and see if we can set a Guinness record,” he said. “I don’t know how many

people have ever been on a field while you’re kicking a field goal. I just thought it might be something neat for the student body to be there.”

Cramming the field with fans isn’t the only plan Beckman has to reach out to the Illinois faithful. He hopes to invite a student organization to watch each home game from the balcony outside his office, calling it “Beck’s Balcony.”

“Set up some tents, put bar stools up there, some food,” he said. “Let them be a part of (the game).”

He also said he’s in discussions about developing a stu-dent body flag to be flown at Memorial Stadium and the students can vote to decide which player will carry it out to the field for each home game.

“With Coach Beck, we’ve all been excited about what he brings to the table, and we’ve rallied behind that,” quar-terback Nathan Scheelhaase said. “He brings excitement

to every day and to everything we’re doing. Whether it’s being out there on the practice field or whether it’s going to a meeting, he brings excitement to it one way or another.”

Beckman has employed a proactive approach to getting Illini fans involved in a team that spoiled a 6-0 start with an 0-6 finish last season.

“We need the 12th man,” Beckman said. “I’ve coached and played in stadiums that are nuts, and it’s definitely a factor in the football game.”

Beckman’s energetic personality isn’t just directed toward the fans. Defensive end Michael Buchanan said Beckman’s liveliness rubs off on the Illini players.

“He’s very high energy,” Buchanan said. “When he texts, he’s an all caps kind of guy ... That’s just his personality.”

Max Tane contributed to this report.

Illinois’ Jordan Parr connects with the ball during a game against Indiana at Illinois Field on Apr. 8. Parr will be returning to Illinois in the fall despite being drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 26th round of the MLB First-Year Players draft. Pitcher Kevin Johnson will also return, turning down a draft offer from the New York Yankees. “I feel like there’s some things I can improve on and that there’s no reason I can’t get drafted again higher next year,” Johnson said.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD

2010 Tribune Media Services Inc. Distributed by Knight Ridder-Tribune Information Services.

Today’s Birthday (07/30/12). The year brings a boost in popularity early on, along with the urge to explore and discover new boundaries. Push your own envelope, and develop a challenging study plan. The world is your oyster. Balance it sustainably.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 8 -- Taking risks allows you to get farther now, even if you may find disappointment at times. Reinforcing the structure helps the commitment. Leave enough time for family.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Listen as a loved one tries to explain, and consider the feelings underneath. Try not to take it personally. You can learn whatever you need to know.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is a 8 -- It’s not all about you. Be aware of your surroundings and your partners. Measure your progress, but keep moving forward. Arrive early to see the tourist attractions before they get crowded.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is a 9 -- A good attitude counts. Be creative when it comes to improving your home. Save more than you spend. Turn complaints into possibilities.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- You’re lucky in love, but it will require listen-ing and patience. Work within the system. And don’t make assumptions. Imagine the other side of the looking glass.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Be a source of comfort and good sense. Friends love your positive outlook. Use

frugality to your advantage. Do it carefully so you won’t have to do it all over again.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Don’t get lost in the details, and keep moving forward. Family and/or friends give you a boost but not necessarily in romance. Be practical, and accept a compromise.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 9 -- Resist temptation and you’ll be surprised at how much you can save and increase your credit rating. A female directs the show from behind the scenes.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 9 -- You’re in charge and enjoying it. Consider all options, and break the pattern. Record the results. A female could use encouragement and support.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Go along with rules your partner

sets to surmount a difficult situation. It all ends up working out for the best. A person who looks weak is really strong. Don’t take things at face value.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 7 -- Your time is best spent with friends. Listen and avoid conflict. Move romance to the top of your priority list. Set up a savings system that works. Consulting an expert helps.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 7 -- List what you need to learn, build a new framework and go for it. Don’t despair if a loved one doesn’t like what you like. Your enthusiasm could be quite attractive.
