BY CHARLOTTE COLLINS ASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITOR A 2015 study by the Feder- al Reserve Bank of New York has found data suggesting a link between the amount of federal aid available to stu- dents and the rise in tuition, which, for the University, has risen by thousands over the past decade. Mitch Dickey, Student Body President and senior in LAS, said he believes stu- dents are concerned about tuition rates, especially since the recession. Dickey said he thinks the loan availability in the past decade has opened up availability for students to take money, which could, in turn, have the negative effect of higher tuition rates. “I would say that (the tuition rise) is definitely connected, especially when the direct loan and guaran- teed loan program came out of the federal government,” Dickey said. “It just opened up a floodgate for students to really take on the debt and attend col- lege wher- ever they wanted and that allowed University adminis- trators to know that ‘Hey, the students are going to come, there’s demand for it, we can increase the costs and the demand will still be there.’” The report focuses on three specific federal aid programs: Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans and Pell Grants. Each of the programs in the study raise the credit supply for University attendees to use to enroll. According to the report, Pell Grants are awarded through institutions to low- income undergraduates. Direct Subsidized Loans are awarded based on need; the government pays the inter- est while the student is in school. Direct Unsubsidized Loans are not given based on need; they are given, “where the student is responsible for paying interest during all periods,” according to the report. Of the three programs studied, Direct Subsidized Loans and Pell Grants were found to have generated 65 and 55 cent-on-the-dollar increases to college tuition, respectively, while the Direct Unsubsidized Loans were not found to have had a notable effect on price. State aid to schools has been on the decline in recent years, and budget cut plans introduced by Gov. Bruce Rauner means the Univer- sity could see $209 million cut from its budget. Dan Mann, director of Stu- dent Financial Aid at the Uni- versity, highlights the lack of state support as a factor in the rise of tuition in recent years. “The state is no longer providing the same support as they have in the past and that’s been a big part of that decision making,” Mann said. “In recent years, the institution has been put- ting more grant money into financial aid packages in order to help us be a bit more competitive.” Mann said the University mainly factors in how much money is needed to pay for the faculty, as well as how much the state can pro- vide, among other things. He works to provide finan- cial aid reports to the upper adminis- tration, but he said he does not believe they factor aid in when setting tuition. Accord- ing to the report, between 2001 and 2012, the average undergraduate stu- dent tuition almost doubled, going from $6,950 to more than $10,000; it correspond- ed to an average real rate increase of 3.5 percent per year. Randy Kangas, associate vice president for Planning and Budgeting, deals with tuition setting at the Univer- sity. He said they do not look at federal aid given to stu- dents when setting tuition. Kangas said Planning and Budgeting looks at cost structure and the neces- sity of retaining faculty if there are certain unavoid- able costs concerning utili- ties. He also said the aca- demic programs are driven by state support. “I understand the thought that there’s that correlation, but I’ve never heard that discussed other than the understanding that this is a lot of money for students and families and trying to do everything we can do to try and keep tuition rates down,” Kangas said.

Animal whiskers — primarily seal whiskers — inspired Uni- versity researchers and researchers at the Advanced Digital Sciences Center, ADSC, to create artificial whiskers that could serve as an alternative, or additional, sensory system for surgeons. Robo-whiskers is a sens- ing device that “collects measurements with multi- ple whiskers from different directions to produce tomo- graphic images of the fluid- flow,” said Cagdas Tuna, a postdoctoral researcher at ADSC. The artificial whiskers could be beneficial to doctors while performing surgery because of the extra sense it gives them. It provides addi- tional information by giv- ing doctors the ability “to image the sensation of touch as a result of the contact of the whiskers,” said Farzad Kamalabadi, professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a researcher in the Coordinat- ed Science Laboratory. For example, instead of doing an open-heart sur- gery, which increases risk for infection, Tuna said doc- tors can perform keyhole surgery using the artificial whiskers. “Using a thin whiskered catheter tip for this proce- dure may provide the tac- tile feedback as good as in an open surgery using hands, tracking the catheter posi- tion inside the heart precise- ly but with reduced risk of injury or infection,” he said. Kamalabadi said the device could best be applied in a surgical area where a doctor would need an extra sense. “There may be multiple applications, but one of the more immediate applications would allow you to develop this extra sense in the form of images that you build in areas where you don’t have access to either photometric vision — the ability to image something — or you can’t use other modes of sensing, for example in a murky area under water,” he said. Tuna said they are now working on an advanced model of the artificial whis- kers to increase the device’s sensing capabilities. “In this study, we have only considered passive sens- ing, but animals extensive- ly use active sensing, mean- ing that they are responsive to their environment,” Cag- das said. “I believe if we can mimic some of these strate- gies animals use to survive in their environment, we can actually further increase the sensing capabilities of the whiskery system.” [email protected] TYLER COURTNEY THE DAILY ILLINI Sarah Campbell (left), freshman in LAS, talks to Eider Etxebarria, graduate student, and Wole Daramola, junior in LAS, about studying abroad in Bilbao at the Illinois Abroad Day on the Main Quad on Tuesday.

CHICAGO — The Fox Lake, Ill., police officer shot and killed while chasing three suspects Tuesday morning was a 30-year veteran of the force who went by the nickname “G.I. Joe” and was married with four chil-dren, according to police and family.
“He’s got four sons who are going to have to go on alone,” said Terry Rese-tar, mother-in-law of the slain officer, Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, 52.
Gliniewicz radioed shortly before 8 a.m. while on routine patrol that he was going to check on some suspicious activity, Lake County sheriff’s spokes-
man Chris Covelli said during a news conference.
He then radioed he was in a “foot pursuit” but communication was lost after that, Covelli said. Other officers responded and found him shot near Route 12 and Sayton Road, he said.
Gliniewicz was discovered in a marshy area, stripped of his gun and other gear, according to Lake County Undersheriff Raymond Rose. He died at the scene, the undersheriff said.
Police established a perimeter and sent helicopters into the air as they sought three suspects, described only as a black male and two white males, Rose said. Several canine units were also dispatched, as well as SWAT
teams in camouflage.With the help of U.S. marshals,
teams of police from throughout the county searched surrounding woods and businesses in the area. By 4 p.m. CDT, no arrests had been made as more than 100 police officers contin-ued the search.
Parents were asked to pick up their children at local schools.
Friends and colleagues remem-bered Gliniewicz as fun-loving and optimistic and dedicated to his work.
“This should never happen. Joey just loved his job,” said Thomas Pou-los, a retired Waukegan police officer who said he went to high school with Gleniewicz in Antioch, Ill.

BALTIMORE — The 8-year-old boy with the vibrant personality who became the first child to get a double hand trans-plant was discharged from The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Doctors there said his long-term prognosis looked good.
Zion Harvey underwent the groundbreaking sur-gery July 28.
Zion, of Owens Mills, Md., spent a week in the inten-sive care unit before being moved to a medical unit. He spent his final weeks at the hospital getting inpatient
rehabilitation treatment. He has been receiving phys-ical and occupational thera-py several times a day as he works to improve function-ing of his new hands.
The boy will continue to receive outpatient thera-py, which may last as long as two years. The doctors who performed the surgery will continue to follow Zion at first monthly, and then annually throughout his life.
Zion had his hands and feet amputated at the age of 2 after a sepsis infec-tion caused him to develop gangrene.
A team of 40, including nurses and other staff from plastic and reconstructive surgery, orthopaedic sur-gery, anesthesiology, and radiology, took part in the 10-hour operation. They came from Penn Medicine, the Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia and Shriners Hospitals for Children.
Zion had adapted well to
living without hands, but he couldn’t do some things like throw a football.

MIAMI — He said he would campaign for pres-ident “joyfully.” But Jeb Bush has apparently real-ized that happy talk won’t get him anywhere in the era of Donald Trump.
Bush took his gloves off Tuesday in Miami after his campaign released a new web video attacking Trump as a phony Repub-lican. The video came on the heels of a Trump vid-eo Monday slamming Bush over immigration.
Speaking mostly in Span-ish — which will do little to get him press coverage in early-primary states like Iowa and New Hampshire — Bush told reporters he decided to go after Trump “because he attacks me every day with barbarities.”
“The man is not con-servative,” Bush said. “Besides, he tries to person-alize everything. If you’re not totally in agreement with him you’re an idiot or stupid or don’t have energy or blah blah blah.
“That’s what he does, and it’s not good, because there are millions of people who today think their future isn’t as it should be,” add-ed Bush, whom Trump has repeatedly poked as “low energy.” Earlier Tuesday, Bush told Fox News he’s “fired up,” just not run-ning a “campaign based on angst.”
The former Florida gov-ernor insisted he is play-ing the long game and will outlast the summer of Trump. The real-estate magnate has risen to the top of key public-opinion polls, followed by other non-politicians, as Bush has seen his numbers slip to single digits.
“We have to elevate the debate a bit, without a doubt,” Bush said in Miami, still speaking in Spanish and resorting to various sports metaphors. “This is a very long pro-cess. We have to remember that tomorrow’s not Elec-tion Day. We’re in the first inning, no? This is a mar-athon. So I have patience that in the long run we’re going to raise the debate to important topics for the great majority of voters.”
Polls show Trump’s popularity, though, isn’t
based on issues or ideol-ogy. Republicans like that Trump “tells it like it is,” according to a Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Reg-ister poll of Iowa voters released this week. For-ty-one percent of Trump’s supporters consider him “moderate,” compared to 35 percent who label him “conservative.” (Ten per-cent called him “liberal” in the poll, and only 4 per-cent used the term “very conservative.”)
The Trump campaign declined to comment early Tuesday on the Bush cam-paign video, before Bush attended a town hall at La Progresiva Presbyterian School in Little Havana. He fielded questions from high-school students, some of them so young that they were born around the time Bush moved into the Flori-da Governor’s Mansion in 1999.
Bush chose the school to talk about the voucher program he created as gov-ernor that gives corpora-tions tax credits for fund-ing students who want to attend a private or parochi-al school rather than a pub-lic one. Almost all the stu-dents at Bush’s event were Hispanic, and the room got particularly excited when Bush engaged in Spanish-language conversations. A teacher repeatedly referred to him as “Governor Jeb.”
He asked one girl, a senior, where she planned to go to college. She said she didn’t know yet — and countered with a ques-tion about what the gov-ernment could do about securing financial aid for students in the country illegally who might be unable to pursue profes-sional careers because of their immigration sta-tus. Bush responded with
his pitch for reforming the immigration system and giving so-called “Dream-ers” brought into the country illegally by their parents a path to U.S. citi-zenship (others who qualify should earn “legal status,” he said).
Bush noted his wife, Columba, was born in Mex-ico — and that one of his daughters-in-law is Iraqi-Canadian. His young grand-
daughters, he said, are “Texan-Mexican-Canadi-an-Iraqi Americans.”
A boy asked Bush about his favorite food, and he said “Mexican,” endorsing a new restaurant, El Wapo Taco in Coral Gables, as “authentic.” He later posed for selfies with the students.
The optics worked well for diverse Miami, but that’s not where Bush is struggling with voters. His jabs at Trump won’t resonate as much in the rest of the country — and with Trump’s supporters — because they were made in Spanish and are less likely to be translated and picked up by national English-lan-guage news outlets.
Once he was mobbed by reporters, Bush showed flashes of the politician Florida veterans remem-ber from his days in Tal-lahassee. He pushed back at a reporter’s question of his use of the term “anchor babies” (”C’mon, man”) and refused to hit Chris Christie over the New Jersey gover-nor’s remark that visitors in the U.S. might be tracked like Fed-Ex packages so they don’t overstay their visas, Bush didn’t seize the opportunity to hit Christie back.

The cars that race down Green Street every day may imply otherwise, but a report from the U.S. Census report-ed residents in the Cham-paign-Urbana area make up one of the lowest rates of pri-vate vehicle commuting in the country.
The report, “Who Drives to Work? Commuting by Automobile in the United States: 2013,” was published in August by the American Community Survey Reports division of the U.S. Census Bureau. The survey included 15 metro areas throughout the country.
In 2013, 78.4 percent of workers in Champaign-Urba-na commuted to work by pri-vate vehicle. The second most popular mode way to get to work was walking, which was 7.9 percent of commut-ers choice of transportation.
Brian McKenzie, author of the report, said in the report the private automobile is the main form of transportation for work and other trav-el purposes in the United States. In 2013, about 86 per-cent of United States workers commuted to work by private vehicle, either driving alone or by carpooling. The rate
of carpooling has declined since 1980, dropping from 19.7 percent to 9 percent, according to the report
Rita Morocoima-Black, transportation planning manager for the Cham-paign-Urbana Urbanized Area Transportation Study (CUUATS), said process-ing the information found in the census was tasked to CUUATS, the transpor-tation entity of the Cham-paign County Region-al Planning Commission. The commission is a part of the Metropolitan Plan-ning Organization respon-sible for administering the federally mandated trans-portation planning pro-cess for the Champaign-Urbana area, along with Savoy, Bondville and Tolono, according to the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission’s website.
Morocoima-Black said people in Champaign-Urba-na choose to commute to work by vehicle due to con-venience.
“People value time, and they know that walking, biking or taking the bus will take longer time for them to get to work in the morn-ing or back home in the eve-ning,” Morocoima-Black
said. “Another factor for not using transit is the lack of privacy or peace and qui-et time, as well as the lack of direct access to destina-tions outside of campus and the downtowns.”
The report found that nationally, Champaign-Urba-na has a higher rate of pri-vate vehicle commuters than the New York-Newark-Jer-sey City area, Boulder, Co. and Ithaca, NY, among oth-er places.
Bill Brown, Cunningham Township Board member, said the report references Champaign and Urbana as one entity. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Urba-na has about 55 percent of residents using their car to
commute to work, followed by walkers at 15 to 16 per-cent. Sixteen percent of res-idents use public transit and 6 percent bike.
“One thing to remember about the data is that the American Community Sur-vey conducted by the cen-sus takes a small sample by mail every week through-out the year, so 6 percent by bike means an average for the whole year,” Brown said. “It would probably be lower in the winter and higher in other months.”
Charlie Smyth, Cunning-ham Township Board mem-ber, said he agrees with Brown’s assessment.
“Champaign-Urbana is basically in the group with lower automobile use. That’s
important,” Smyth said in an email. “Being a college com-munity like several others on the list, walking is a big sec-ond choice. For those who live near campus, it makes great sense.”
Morocoima-Black attrib-uted a steady rate of the use of alternate transportation methods to efforts that have been made in the last 10 years to make such methods more appealing to commuters.
“The staff at MPO and it’s members have been work-
ing for the last 10 years to make the Champaign-Urba-na urbanized area more bike and pedestrian friendly,” Morocoima-Black said. “(We are) providing new, more and better bicycle and pedestri-an facilities, and conducting
educational and enforce-ment campaigns to educate the people in the communi-ty about the benefits of bik-ing and improving traffic safety.”

Lee deputies are investi-gating a bank robbery that took place Tuesday afternoon at Fifth Third Bank in Bonita Springs.
Deputies responded to the call at 12:07 p.m. at 8800 West Terry St.
Surveillance footage shows a white male entered the bank, brandished a gun and demanded money. He then fled the scene in a gold Pontiac or Buick crossover with an undisclosed amount of cash.
K9 and aviation units were deployed to search the area but did not immediately find the suspect, who is described as a white male about 6-feet-tall between 160 and 180 pounds, according to reports. He was wearing a white ban-dana over his face along with an Ohio State baseball cap. He may have been driving a gold Pontiac Aztek.
A red dye pack was deployed during the robbery and the man or his vehicle may have red dye on them. No injuries were reported during the robbery.

Recent coyote sightings in town aren’t cause for alarm, according to Aberdeen’s ani-mal control officer.
A coyote was spotted this morning on 15th Avenue Northeast.
John Weaver said that seeing coyotes is not that uncommon this time of year.
“We are building into their natural environment,” he said. “Wildlife in gener-al is getting more comfort-able with people, mainly because we’re building into their space.”
Fifteenth Avenue is a prime example as it is built out to North Roosevelt
Street. Weaver said there is a mother coyote and three pups living in a retaining pond in the area.
The coyotes have been spotted several times, but aren’t anything to worry about, he said.
“Coyotes like rabbits and pheasants. They typical-ly want nothing to do with humans,” Weaver said.
Weaver encourages folks who live in the area to use a little common sense.
“Don’t leave food out for your pets, especially if you live along the bike path,” he said. “There’s really noth-ing to do about them unless you’re concerned that they pose a threat.”

THE COLLEGE DROPOUT TO RUN FOR PRESIDENTBA-DA-BA-BA-BREAKFAST, I’M LOVIN’ IT
Over the weekend I watched Last Week Tonight with
John Oliver, when he announced he was releas-ing a book that was noth-ing but a collection of lies and made up facts about history. The book was to be titled “History Lies,” but he then hilari-ously ended the segment saying he had been lying for the entire video and that there was no book to begin with.
Though John Oliver was merely kidding, I spent most of the seg-ment believing every word he said. Growing up, most of us were told “don’t believe everything you hear,” and I’m sure following that advice saved us from a lot of trouble throughout our youth. But as college stu-dents, we are thrown into classrooms with books and exams and are gen-erally trained to believe that what our profes-sors say and the content we read in textbooks are absolute facts.
Though we are mainly here to learn, all students and academics in gen-eral should see the value in approaching what we read and hear with cer-tain degrees of skepti-cism. As students, intro-ducing a healthy level of doubt in questioning underlying assumptions can be helpful in verify-ing information and elim-inating misconceptions.
I under-stand the paradox between what I am say-ing and the fact that you are cur-rently reading this very article, but allow me to explain.
This week, an investigation led by University of Vir-ginia Professor of Psy-chology Brian Nosek found that of 100 psychol-ogy studies published in 2008, only 36 percent of the results were repro-ducible. Over 270 sci-entists on five different continents replicated the 100 experiments and in the end, over 50 percent of cognitive psychology studies and 75 percent of social psychology studies failed to replicate their results when repeated.
The lack of consistent results from these stud-ies show that either the conclusions are wrong, not significant or that more research is need-ed. However, the results of many of these stud-ies are taught in psy-chology classes and are cited in psychology text-books. Though the lack of validity highlights the weak reliability of psychology research, a key takeaway accord-ing to Dr. Nosek is that “one study is not going to be the last word.” But we don’t always think of that when listening to a lecture or reading a textbook.
As students, we enroll in classes taught by very knowledgeable profes-sors who have dedicated their lives to the study of the field that they are
teaching. But it is impor-tant to keep in mind that disagreement exists even among researchers and academics.
For example, in 1998, a researcher conducted a study that found a con-nection between autism and vaccines. The study was not based on statis-tics or reliable research methods, but that didn’t stop it from leading to one in five millennials in the U.S. believing some vaccines cause autism in healthy children. Despite dozens of follow-up studies conducted by other skeptical academ-ics with over 14 million children that found no link between autism and vaccines, people still believed one poorly con-ducted study that was later found to be fabricat-ed. If those who read and reported the initial study had been more skepti-cal of the results and had been more careful in researching more vac-cine studies, the great vaccine debate proba-bly wouldn’t be an issue today.
Now this is not to say that everything we see and hear is all of a sud-den a lie (unless you are a 17th century philoso-pher named Rene Des-cartes). There is a differ-ence between cynicism and skepticism; there are merits to applying rea-soning and critical think-ing to determine validity in every situation.
There is a lot of truth to what we learn in our classes, but there are many uncertainties that are accepted without
substan-tial vali-dation. Some may say that skeptics are pes-simis-tic, but I would argue that skepti-cism can be an extreme-ly posi-tive
influence. Skeptical stu-dents playing the devil’s advocate can help filter out weak arguments and strengthen those that pass the test.
When a professor of anthropology tries to teach you that Chief Illiniwek creates a nega-tive climate against all Native American stu-dents, seek a contradic-tory viewpoint. When former Chancellor Wise emails you that the uni-versity administration is dedicated to academic freedom, look up a recent report by the American Association of University Professors. When some-one tries to tell you that vaccines cause autism, go look at the hundreds of studies done by repu-table researchers that say otherwise.
As students, our oppor-tunity to learn from questioning is one unri-valed in any other set-ting. Academia thrives on curiosity and the advancement of knowl-edge is verified by the ability of students and academics to think criti-cally. Question, doubt and reason through everything, and you will reach well supported, accurate conclusions.

For those curious, James was sorted into Gryffindor (as if that’s a surprise) and Teddy Lupin was sorted into Hufflepuff and is also Head Boy. Congratulations to the first years!
When Wiz Khalifa announced his plan to run for president, it was easily dismissed because of something called an “age requirement.” But then Donald Trump trumped his ridiculousness by signing up — and doing quite well. As if the presidential race couldn’t get any weirder, Kanye West plans to throw his hat in the ring for 2020. Hey, famous people with little political knowledge, how about you don’t run for president any more?

As if college students don’t have enough fi-nancial
concerns, the Federal Re-serve Bank has found a link between increasing feder-al aid and rising tuition, in a report they published this year.
It is troubling, disheart-ening and upsetting to see a link between rising aid and rising tuition. Increasing fi-nancial aid is clearly meant to assist and ease the bur-den of college costs, ideally making a college education more feasible for students. But that theory and goal is made useless if tuition rises with it.
The prospect of tuition ris-ing with aid continuing will make it increasingly diffi-cult for lower and middle class families to send their children to college. And if Governor Rauner’s propos-al to cut the University’s funding is approved, Illinois students and the state as a whole are looking at a bleak fiscal future.
In a Daily Illini article published today, Associ-ate Vice President for Plan-ning and Budgeting Randy Kangas said that when the Board of Trustees sets tu-ition each year, it does not look at federal aid given to students. If there are stu-dents in need and receiving federal aid, the University should consider that factor when setting tuition.
The Daily Illini also inter-viewed Dan Mann, direc-tor of Student Financial Aid, who said the lack of state support has been a factor in the recent years of tuition rise. “The state is no lon-ger providing the same sup-port as they have in the past and that’s been a big part of that decision making,” Mann said. “In recent years, the institution has been putting more grant money into fi-nancial aid packages in or-der to help us be a bit more competitive.”
Incidentally, efforts have been made in the past few years to increase University enrollment. Seemingly mis-guided attempts have tar-
geted the notification date for applicants, which result-ed in getting rid of defer-ring students.
However, no amount of ef-fort can truly help enroll-ment numbers without look-ing at the skyrocketing tuition that makes it hard for many in and out-of-state applicants to attend the Uni-versity.
One of the best parts about attending this institution is the ability to interact with different students from dif-ferent backgrounds. With-out taking a firm look at our tuition rates, we face find-ing ourselves surrounded by people only with the thickest wallets.
By cancelling out the ef-fects that financial aid has, we make this institution more difficult to attend, which directly goes against recent University efforts. The University needs to take a serious look at the tu-ition prices, and they should do students the courtesy of considering financial aid rates and student need when doing so.
There is a lot of truth to what we
learn in our classes, but there are many
uncertainties that are accepted
without substantial validation.”

Bikers using yoga for relief
“It’s literally littered with karaoke places,” she said.
A Plus’ karaoke design is based off of KTV, which is a popular karaoke chain in China.
“To Chinese people, (KTV) stands for a certain way to entertain,” Yu said.
All of the décor and sys-tems were custom-ordered from China. After Yu designed everything, he sent his ideas to a compa-ny in China. It was shipped from Shanghai to Urbana in less than one month.
“I couldn’t find the furni-ture that met my require-ments here,” Yu said, pat-
ting the lilac arm of a velvet booth in the café connected to the karaoke rooms.
The café is a unique addition and will be open during the day, as well as serving late-night karaoke patrons. It will carry tra-ditional bar food, noodles, fried rice and teas.
The café is purposeful-ly painted white with light colors, and Yu said being on the second floor makes it even brighter.
He said this is very dif-ferent from other karaoke lounges: “They paint the whole place black, so it’s going to be really dark in the daytime.”
Bianca Carbajal, senior in Education, said this was a downside when she went
to Star Karaoke in Savoy.“The atmosphere wasn’t
as lively, it was very dark,” she said.
Carbajal added that stu-dents would be interested in A Plus because it’s some-thing different.
“Students get bored after a while, and they want to do something that’s off cam-pus, so having something like that is nice,” she said.
Since students have so many options on campus, Yu said the karaoke lounge is made for Urbana locals as well as students.
“It’s going to take them a little while to know this place, but once they come here, they will love it. I guarantee it,” he said.

Keeping a bicycle bal-anced and rolling puts stress and strain on the body that riders can pre-pare for, and recover from, with the right exercises.
As more people use bikes to commute, to exercise and to socialize, they may find themselves with aches and pains that were con-sidered par for the course when riding was occasion-al but can nag and dis-courage when it’s count-ed on as transportation or recreation.
From 2000 to 2013, the number of U.S. bike com-muters grew by about 60 percent, according to the League of American Bicy-clists, an advocacy group. In the decade between 1999 and 2009, the number of U.S. bicycle trips jumped from 1.8 billion to 4 billion per year, according to the federal Bureau of Trans-portation Statistics, which also found in 2012 that the average length of a bicycle trip was slightly more than an hour.
Biking, like running, is good aerobic exer-cise, said Bob Oppliger, a retired exercise science researcher at the Univer-sity of Iowa, and it has the advantage of causing less stress on the joints.
“Physical activity in and of itself is good. Biking is particularly good for those who are overweight,” Opp-liger said, but the static position of cycling can cost the body in lost strength and flexibility.
Hunching over handle-bars while perched on a narrow seat, pedaling con-stantly and holding up the head to watch the road take a toll on muscles from the neck to the feet, the spine and back. Getting a bike that fits the rider’s frame and range of motion is important, but so is devel-oping habits to restore the body after a strenuous
workout and to build endur-ance for the next one.
Uma Kleppinger, who was a competitive cyclist and now is taking up BMX racing as she’s about to turn 49, believes yoga adapted for the particu-lar repetitive strains of cycling can keep riding fun and healthful.
“I wanted to help cyclists get to the heart of what’s beneficial to them,” said Kleppinger, of Portland, Ore. Her book “BikeYoga” offers a number of what she calls “stripped down” pos-es that if practiced consis-tently can cultivate flexibil-ity and strength.
It’s not yoga “for already bendy women,” she said, though some movements are similar to those in oth-er forms of yoga. The poses are intended to counter the shortening and tightness in muscles and tendons that come with cycling and can cause discomfort, poor posture and shortness of breath.
“You’re sitting while cycling,” she said, “the worst possible position for the human body. Stress gets stored and those areas need to be opened up. The hips, lower back, shoulders and neck _ the core strength brings it all together.”
The locust pose, for example, in which the chest and legs are lifted simul-taneously, strengthens the back and tones the abdo-men. Kleppinger says the sphinx, a kind of back bend with legs outstretched and arms flat with elbows under shoulders, helps keep the spine strong and flexible and boosts the nervous system.
The plank, in which the body is supported on straightened arms and toes, is good for the core, arms and legs. The camel pose, where the body leans backward over bent legs and straight arms with fin-gers nearly touching toes on the floor, is particularly good to counter hunching.
Debbie Russo, who owns NEXT Yoga studio in Wheaton, Ill., and works with athletes of all ages and abilities, sees yoga as having an overall ben-eficial effect on the minds
of cyclists as well as their bodies.
“ Yog a i nc r e a s e s strength, flexibility, focus and balance and can pre-vent injuries,” said Russo, who stumbled into a yoga class about 13 years ago in an ongoing quest to find some way to feel better as she struggled with Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflam-mation of the bowel.
Yoga works to lengthen the hip flexors for more flu-id movement in pedaling and to lessen lower back pain, and it stretches the spine to combat rounding of the shoulders and tight-ness in the neck, she said. She added that emphasis on deep breathing and medita-tion helps with focus.
“It calms the central ner-vous system and lets you laser focus when needed, like when you’re close to another cyclist or about to turn a sharp corner,” Rus-so said.
Practicing yoga “can prevent injury if you know what your body feels like on a good day. That aware-ness may get you to back off,” if the strain from cycling is too intense, she said.
Russo, like Klepping-er, believes the maximum benefit from yoga comes when a ride is over. A lit-tle stretching before is good so the muscles are not too tight, Russo said, but after being hunched over for a period of time, “it’s uber important to lengthen the spine and muscles for future rides.”
Kleppinger agrees. She said doing yoga “after makes a whole lot of sense because tissues are flush and saturated and ready to stretch.” She suggests about 20 minutes of target-ed poses after a ride and more general movements any time of day to counter the sedentary nature of many jobs and activities.
The value of stretching is hard to quantify, Oppliger said, but the very nature of cycling causes parts of the body to fatigue.
“It’s probably more a feel-good type of deal. Any way we can think of to reduce stress is valu-able,” he said.
UMA KLEPPINGER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE The seated twist releases hip flexors, iliotibial bands and glutes while strengthening back muscles. Breathing should be deep and stretch laterally into the sides and back of the rib cage for the most powerful effect.

Plush couches with rhinestone studs, classical art and gilded wallpaper aren’t typically what comes to mind when someone mentions “karaoke,” but these decorate the seven private rooms in A Plus VIP Lounge.
The venue, at 214 W. Main St. in Urbana, has transformed its second floor into a karaoke lounge. The upper level should be open within the month, according to owner Di Yu.
“We want to make it a multilevel business and a flagship for the entertainment for this area,” Yu said.
The combined levels will make A Plus one of the three largest karaoke clubs in the this region
of the United States, according to Yu.Yu, who came to the University to study com-
puter science, said he wasn’t sure how popular the lounge would be with American students.
“This kind of entertainment is very new to them,” he said. “In Chicago, I saw people using the rooms, but they mainly use it as a private room. They don’t sing songs; they just plug in their own iPods to play music.”
To most campus students, karaoke is limited to choosing from a book of songs and serenad-ing everyone in the bar. The setup at A Plus is much more private.
“Asian people get really shy, and they don’t want to sit in front of everyone to sing,” Yu said. “But they feel comfortable with their friends in a small group.”
The rooms in A Plus range from medium to extra-large. They will cost less than $40 per hour, depending on size. Customers will also get a personal waitress and bartender for their room, which is how karaoke lounges are in Chi-na, according to Yu.
In China, karaoke is second-best to having tea with family, said Ada Tan, junior in Busi-ness. Tan studied abroad in Hong Kong and has family there.
“It’s not just about singing, but coming togeth-er,” she said.
Tan went to the busiest part of Hong Kong with her friends, who she said love karaoke and go every month.

R & B artist to perform at Canopy ClubBY MARA SHAPIROSTAFF WRITER
For Detroit-based artist Christian Ber-ishaj, also known as JMSN, music has always been an important part of his life.
“It’s me. It’s JMSN,” he said. “There’s only one of me, and that’s what makes me unique.”
The R&B artist, however, didn’t break into the music industry until 10 years ago, when he was 17 years old. This Wednesday at 8 p.m., he will perform at the Canopy Club, with local band BOYCUT as his opening act.
“I love playing every show,” JMSN said. “It’s great.”
JMSN was featured on Kendrick Lamar’s album, “Good kid, m.A.A.d city,” including the popular song “Bitch, Don’t Kill my Vibe,” amongst other tracks like “The Art of Peer Pressure,” “Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst” and “Real.” He has also worked with Tyga on his song “Drive Fast, Live Young,” and with Game ft. J. Cole on “Pray.” JMSN’s song “Street Sweeper” has over one million plays on SoundCloud, and his track “Love & Pain” was featured on VH1’s “Single Ladies.” His personal favorite song to perform is “My Way.”
JMSN had a positive experience working with Kendrick Lamar, an artist he is also a fan of.
“I learned a bunch, and it’s always good to be around people that you’re fans of and respect.”
JMSN said Prince, R. Kelly and Whitney
Houston were all influences growing up. Adam Miltenberger, who handles the tour
promotions of JMSN, describes the artist’s work as “very soulful R&B.”
Miltenberger said that students will enjoy the artist’s enthusiasm and energetic live per-formance when he comes to the Canopy Club during his “Forever Blue” tour.
“It’s a cool opportunity to see an up-and-coming talent in the music industry in an intimate club setting,” Miltenberger wrote via email. “With the way things are going for JMSN, this may be the last opportunity to see him like this.”
Noah Karvelis, senior in FAA, said he wants to see what the concert has to offer. Karvelis intends to go to the concert to see his friends in BOYCUT, but is also intrigued by JMSN’s work with Kendrick Lamar.
“I want to see good hip-hop live,” Karvelis wrote via email. “This is especially impor-tant to me because of my academic interests in music education, which focuses a lot on the inclusion of hip-hop in the music classroom,”
JMSN said students will feel the energy from the show.
“I love what I do either way,” he said. “They want to come and feel some good energy, some positive energy.”

Editor’s Note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down each week and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.
Last week, when Illinois soccer forward Jannelle Flaws was a few goals away from becoming the pro-gram’s all-time leadering scorer, goalkeeper Claire
Wheatley promised to bake her a cake to celebrate the accolade.
But despite Wheatley’s promise and the seeming inevitability of a broken record, Flaws knows that nothing in life is guaranteed.
She entered college in 2010 after attending Glenbrook South High School in Glen-view, Illinois .
Two torn ACLs later, and Flaws is now in her sixth sea-son of eligibility .
Flaws’ collegiate career hasn’t exactly followed the
path she envisioned, but since her 23-goal season in 2013, she hasn’t looked back .
“I’ve always been a goal scorer, even in my club days and high school days,” Flaws said. “I’ve always had that vision of the kind of player I was, and I’ve always wanted to do this.”
Fast forward to Sunday, when Flaws not only broke Tara Hurless’ 47-goal scor-ing record, but also netted a hat trick in the opening 25 minutes of Illinois’ match against St. Louis to put an exclamation point on her much-anticipated night .
When she scored her fi rst goal and broke the record in the 15th minute, Flaws immediately looked for head
coach Janet Rayfi eld .The two met on the side-
line near the Illinois bench and embraced.
While the hug was a natu-ral reaction, that record-set-ting moment for Flaws has been at the back of her mind for quite some time.
“Her belief in me, when I didn’t believe in myself, was a big motivator for me to get back on the fi eld,” Flaws said. “To get that moment was huge, but to be able to share it with someone like her-self who’s meant so much to me and my career was even more special.”
Rayfi eld has been there for every moment of Flaws’ Illi-ni career
Having that moment with
Flaws was fi tting for a coach who has seen someone at their best, and worst.
“She turned and start-ed coming this way, and I stepped out and there wasn’t anybody between us,” Rayfi eld said. “It was sort of a natural thing that happened.”
Rayfi eld saw a natural goal scorer when she recruited Flaws back in high school. She said Flaws’ knack for scoring is “intangible.”
While Rayfi eld might be one of her biggest support-ers, it is no secret that Flaws is her own biggest critic. She can describe every goal she had in her fi rst season on the fi eld with the Illini.

Beckman lawsuit possible soonBY MICHAL DWOJAKSTAFF WRITER
Tim Beckman might not be done with the University of Illinois.
The former head football coach might be the latest per-son to fi le a lawsuit against the University and the ath-letic department.
After Athletic Director Mike Thomas fi red him on Friday, Beckman released a
statement to The Associated Press that implied he might sue the University for wrong-ful termination.
“The fact that the Univer-sity did not even complete its investigation in this matter is evidence that this entire process was nothing more than a rush to judgment and confi rms the University’s abject bad faith,” Beckman said. “Furthermore, the Uni-
versity’s actions today are in violation of the procedures mandated under my employ-ment agreement. As such, I will vigorously defend both my reputation and my legal rights.”
Thomas fi red Beckman after he received the prelim-inary fi ndings of an investi-gation conducted by external reviewer Franczek Radelet of Chicago. The athletic direc-
tor said he learned of efforts to deter injury reporting and infl uence medical decisions to pressure players to avoid or postpone medical treat-ment and continue playing despite injuries.
Beckman also threatened to take away scholarships during the spring semester of their senior year if players
Recruiting is tricky.Every year, coach-
es have to deal with the delicate task of evalu-ating players and identify-ing who they can realisti-cally devote their time and resources toward. This must be done while also bal-ancing the intentions and motivations of those young athletes with a limited num-ber of scholarships that the coaches have at their disposal.
Highly ranked recruits come from different back-grounds, and each carry their own sets of baggage. They all have different lists of schools and visits to take on separate sched-ules. We saw this play out just last fall when John Groce was recruiting a pair of elite point guards, Jalen Brunson and Jawun Evans, to Illinois.
Groce gambled, going all out and attempting to lure one of either Brunson or
Evans. In no universe was Groce going to land both McDonald’s All-Americans, and in hindsight I’m not so sure he had a favorable chance to land either one. Brunson ended up choosing Villanova, and Evans picked Oklahoma State.
In the end, Groce wasn’t able to land a true point guard in the 2015 class.
Though it’s not identical, we’re now seeing a simi-lar situation play out in the 2016 class with Illini point guard targets Xavier Simp-son and Charlie Moore. Simpson and Moore (No. 66 and No. 82 in ESPN’s Top 100, respectively) aren’t as highly ranked as Brunson and Evans were, but the scenario could end in famil-iar fashion if Groce isn’t careful.
Groce is still trying to build a solid foundation for his program in year four, and getting a point guard remains vital. Jaylon Tate is the only true point guard on scholarship who will be on the Illini roster past the upcoming season, so the Illini need to shore up their

BY DANIEL DEXTERSTAFF WRITER
The fi rst time Illinois volleyball head coach Kev-in Hambly met his starting setter Jordyn Poulter, she was 12 years old .
Eight years later, she and fellow freshman mid-dle blocker Ali Bastianelli fi nd themselves in the start-ing lineup for the No. 6 vol-leyball team in the country .
Their impact, both pos-itive and negative, was noticeable in the Illini’s season opener. In Friday’s sweep of Louisville, Poul-ter contributed 35 assists while Bastianelli added three kills and fi ve blocks, giving fans a glimpse of why the pair was so heav-ily recruited to come to Illi-nois in the fi rst place .
However, Hambly said after the match that the pair looked frantic at times, something that is to be expected of freshmen play-ing in their fi rst collegiate game. Poulter said after the match that certain moments
didn’t play out exactly as she imagined it would.
“I think you try and look at yourself playing situa-tions where you are always succeeding and there were times where I struggled (during the game),” Poulter said. “I had to take a step back and understand my role on the team and where I was at the moment.”
It’s a system and envi-ronment that both players have had to get adjusted to, particularly in terms of the speed of play. Hambly is attempting to run a higher tempo offense this season, and the weekend’s errors suggest that everybody still needs time become accus-tomed with it. The Illini committed 42 errors over the weekend, including 22 against Louisville .
While learning a new system has been a chal-lenge for Bastianelli, she has bought into the expec-tations Hambly has set for her and the rest of the team. Part of the reason she came
to Illinois was because she believed in the kind of cul-ture Hambly is trying to establish amongst the team.
Bastianelli was ranked No. 10 nationally in the 2015 recruiting class. Poul-ter was ranked No. 3 and the team’s third freshman, Beth Prince, was ranked No. 52.
“Going from high school and club to college is a big challenge,” Bastianelli said. “The club team I played for ran a slower tempo. The speed and learning how Kevin wants us to play was my biggest obstacle, but I’m working at it every day.”
According to Hambly, both Bastianelli and Poulter are already showing signs of maturity and a strong level of communication on the court. He attributed their ability to be vocal with their comfort level with the veterans of the team.
Now with their fi rst taste of competition behind them, Bastianelli and Poulter will have to wait another month
before they play in the con-fi nes of Huff Hall again, but the memories of their fi rst collegiate matches will cer-tainly be unforgettable.
“It was really great play-
ing in Huff for the fi rst time,” Poulter said after the Louisville match. “I was a spectator for such a long time, and fi nally getting to step on the court and seeing
what the atmosphere is like when you are playing was a lot of fun.”

ILLINI WEEKWEEKOF THE
JANELLE FLAWS ALONE AT THE TOP
In many ways, college football is a glori-fied farm system for
the NFL.Outside of the common
college football debates — which team should be ranked where, who should win the Heisman Tro-phy and which confer-ence reigns supreme — a typical theme each season involves the status of the next NFL draft class.
Though the Big Ten has a solid track record in pro-curing consistent NFL talent, now that the con-ference is in the process of restoring its national reputation, paying special attention to which players can bolster their own NFL futures will be critical to watch this season.
Fans should look at the best players in the confer-ence in a similar fashion to how investors follow the stock market; with an eye out for long-term growth as opposed to short-term gains.
Any casual observer of the Big Ten will invari-ably notice the substantial depth among the confer-ence’s quarterbacks.
Cardale Jones, J.T. Bar-rett, Connor Cook and Christian Hackenberg will be competing as much for the title of best Big Ten quarterback as they are competing to impress NFL scouts.
Since Michigan State and Ohio State are likely the top two contenders in the conference, it is fit-
ting that Jones, Barrett and Cook will be fighting to establish themselves as the top Big Ten quar-terbacks heading into the 2016 draft.
What makes Cook the surest bet is that the Spar-tan carries many of the intangibles needed to wow NFL teams desperate for stability at the position.
In his two seasons as a starter, Cook can be best defined as a high-ly efficient quarterback who doesn’t turn the ball over and knows how to win. Consider that he has thrown for 46 touch-downs compared to 14 inter-ceptions — about a 3:1 ratio — over his career and pos-sesses a record of 23–3.
At Ohio State, the choice of who starts at quarter-back will have a major impact on the draft status of Jones and Barrett. The odd man out may opt to stay another season, while the starter will likely make the jump to the NFL.
Jones may not be iden-tified by the intangibles but by his size and arm strength. Both of these attributes were clearly on display in leading the Buckeyes to the national championship.
Barrett may not have the downfield arm strength or the imposing size of his competitor, though his ability to make plays with
his legs makes him a solid dual-threat prospect. Giv-en the current success of a player like Russell Wilson, he is a fascinating guy to watch in preparing for an NFL future.
The biggest Big Ten quarterback mystery this season will be Hacken-berg, especially in seeing if he can finally light it up as a college quarterback and morph into an elite draft prospect. Hacken-berg has all the skills to do so; it is just a matter of him living up to the hype he brought to Penn State.
Similar to Melvin Gordon of a season ago, Eze-kiel Elliott not only represents the Big Ten’s best chance to take home the Heis-man but also as one
of the running backs with the highest professional ceiling.
On the defensive side, the Big Ten has an immensely strong crop — especially on the D–line.
In the quest to become the next great J.J. Watt–like destroyer of offensive game plans on Sundays, the battle to watch will be between Joey Bosa, Shi-lique Calhoun and Anthony Zettel.
All three defensive standouts have the most potential to dominate at the next level of any play-ers in the conference, so their season-long duel is more about positioning in
the first round of the draft than anything else.
All the players men-tioned above are already bona fide draft prospects, though this season is more about proving where each player may be drafted and how successful they may be as professionals.
The biggest wildcard of any player in the Big Ten in terms of draft poten-tial is quarterback-turned-wide receiver Braxton Miller.
Due to a combination of his athleticism, speed and versatility, it would not be a surprise if he excels at the position — even becoming one of the team’s most potent options.
With a strong campaign at receiver, Miller can easily become the next former college quarter-back to be a productive receiver in the NFL: see Hines Ward, Julian Edel-man or Antwaan Randle El.
With the Big Ten once again in the discussion of elite college football conferences, it will be of greater importance to closely follow not only how the conference performs in nonconference games and during bowl season but how it performs in late April in Chicago.
It’s not enough to rank conferences by national titles or bowl wins any-more. Nowadays, confer-ences are best judged by how many of its former players will be mentioned in NFL draft coverage — be it fantasy or reality.

Becoming a Division I coach isn’t an easy thing to do without an impressive sports background.
For some coaches, such as Illinois men’s tennis coach Brad Dancer, words on a résumé do not fully repre-sent all that he has been a part of in the tennis world.
Prior to professional coaching, Dancer pursued a tennis playing career. That pursuit wasn’t the bright spot of his career, he said.
“I had pretty good speed, but I had a very bad fore-hand,” Dancer said. “The only thing I could do was run around and try to think my way out of a tennis match.”
Despite his short-lived playing career, Dancer man-aged to garner an All-Big Ten selection and appear in an NCAA Championship dou-bles final in his senior year at Michigan State. Dancer played small money tourna-ments following his gradua-tion from Michigan State, but never made an appearance on any professional tour.
Only a year removed from college, Dancer began his collegiate coaching career at his alma mater. There he served as an assistant coach from 1993-98 while explor-ing other coaching options. During that time, he got an opportunity to work with Bil-ly Jean King, one of tennis’
all-time greats.Dancer lived in Aspen,
Colorado, at the time, and was already working with Martina Navratilova, anoth-er all-time great, who was close with King. Navratilova put Dancer in contact with King and Dancer assisted her when she was the head coach of the U.S. Fed Cup team.
He said the time he spent working with King was one of the greatest experiences of his coaching career.
“She was very patient with me as a young coach com-ing up through the ranks,” Dancer said. “She meant so much to me in just modeling her energy and enthusiasm about how she goes about everything.”
Dancer’s connections to big names in the sport did not end at Navratilova and King.
In 1998, he transitioned to coaching professional ten-nis for the Delaware Smash of World Team Tennis. He coached the team through 2004, although the season only lasted a few weeks dur-ing each summer.
“There was something like 58 years of profession-al experience between four of our top players,” Dancer said. “It was nothing short of remarkable.”
Along with the players that made up the bulk of the experience, such as Patrick
McEnroe, Mary Jo Fernan-dez and Jim Grabb, there were also a few new age play-ers to come under Dancer’s tutelage, including Lindsey Davenport and current world No. 1 Serena Williams.
Having been all over the
map and having worked with some of the top players in the game, Dancer brought immense experience with him to Illinois when he became an associate head coach in 2004 before ulti-mately becoming the team’s
head coach in 2006.Over the last decade,
Dancer has maintained the Illini’s status as a perenni-al powerhouse. Looking for-ward to what’s next in his career, Dancer said he didn’t know what was in store, but
that he doesn’t see himself leaving what he’s built.
“People always ask what’s next, and for me it’s going to be here at Illinois.”

dard– a huge disappointment.For the redshirt senior,
that season was a disaster and is partially what con-tinues to motivate her to run up the scoring numbers and take advantage of every chance she gets.
“I guess it meant some-thing to me, but I was not very fond of that season,” Flaws said of her first colle-giate goal. “I don’t know if I would call it a very proud moment, but it was definite-ly the start to my goal scor-ing here.”
Flaws’ 2011 season was bracketed by her two torn ACLs — one in the Summer of 2010 and one in the Spring of 2012 — and marked the last time Flaws wasn’t the Illini’s star player.
The record-breaking goal did mean something to Flaws. It was validation for just how far she had come.
The celebration was also made special in part because Hurless was in attendance to present the game ball to Flaws after the match.
The two scorers met back
when Flaws was a freshman, and have communicated ever since.
“She’s a stats girl,” Hur-less said. “She always said that was a goal, to beat my record.”
For Hurless, it was an emotional moment, “to say the least” when she present-ed the ball to Flaws. It was the first time that Hurless had walked onto the field – which she once dominated – since she graduated.
And while breaking Hur-less’ scoring record at Illi-nois could be seen as the icing on the cake of Flaws’ storied career, if you ask her coach, she isn’t done yet.
“When she started scor-ing goals, you start doing the math, and you give her four years, 50 certainly wasn’t out of reach,” Rayfield said. “Who knows what that num-ber is going to be by the time she finishes out.”
Regardless of the end number, Flaws welcomes the recognition.
“I want to get my name out there,” said Flaws. “I want to play after college.”

weren’t on the team.The final findings are yet
to be released. Thomas said he couldn’t comment on the ongoing investigation and failed to give more infor-mation on when Franczek Radelet would conclude their review.
If Beckman were to sue the University, the school could claim it fired Beckman for cause. In section 4.2.d. of the contract he signed with the University in 2012, the University can fire Beck-man for “any serious act of knowing misconduct by Head Coach.” The listed miscon-ducts include “injuring, abus-ing, or endangering others, which in the sole reasonable judgment of the University substantially impairs Head Coach’s ability to provide effective leadership.”
Beckman’s total compen-sation was scheduled to be $1.8 million with a base sal-ary of $400,000. He received a $150,000 bonus because he retained his job beyond Janu-ary 31. Since the University is claiming to have fired him with cause, the University “shall be without liability to the Head Coach, or any oth-er penalty.” Illinois will not be liable of any base salary or any additional compensa-tions that were included in his contract — if they are judged to have fired him with cause.
Beckman and University administration could not be reached for comment with regards to a potential lawsuit.
Thomas and the athlet-ic department respectfully declined to comment on a potential lawsuit.
Friday, when he announced Beckman’s dismissal, he didn’t announce any updates in the women’s basketball and soccer investigations and lawsuits. The women’s bas-ketball investigation found no wrongdoing by the coaching staff in early August. Seven former players filed a $10 mil-lion lawsuit against the Uni-versity, naming head coach Matt Bollant, former assis-tant coach Matt Divilbiss and Thomas.
Former soccer player Casey Conine filed a law-suit against the University on June 8 over the mishan-dling of concussions that she suffered.
“I think the culture in our Division of Intercollegiate Athletics is tremendous,” Thomas said during Friday’s press conference. “I believe in our coaches, staff and stu-dent-athletes who come to work every day and partici-pate every day with integrity on their sleeves. It’s all about doing things the right way.”
Despite the findings in the investigation, head football coach Bill Cubit said that he didn’t know about any of the allegations made against Beckman. The head coach said he didn’t think anyone on the staff was guilty of player mistreatment.
“I don’t know that went on, I really don’t,” Cubit said. “That’s why you have train-ers ... I think all our coaches are educated enough when they should send them (play-ers) there if you suspect anything.”

depth.Like the Brunson and
Evans recruitments, Simp-son’s and Moore’s visits are staggered (though Simp-son’s and Moore’s are far-ther apart.) Simpson visited this weekend and had high praise for Groce and Illi-
nois, while Moore is slated to visit the weekend of Sept. 25. And like Brunson and Evans were at the time, Simpson and Moore seem to be heavily considering oth-er schools besides Illinois.
Even though it hasn’t really paid off yet, playing time at the point guard posi-tion has always been one of Groce’s strongest points of leverage.
Most recruits want to play right away, which is why I think it’s unlikely that Groce has any shot of landing two top-100 point guards like Simpson and Moore in the same class.
With Simpson’s visit in the rearview mirror, Groce will have to gauge his interest level in other schools, especially if he follows through with vis-
its to Wisconsin (a visit to Madison may be forth-coming) and Miami (Flor-ida). Iowa State is also in the picture.
Moore will visit Cali-fornia (Sept. 11) and Pitts-burgh (Sept. 18) before he makes it to Champaign, with a visit to Memphis also scheduled for Oct. 2.
So much could unfold in these next several weeks,
and Groce will have to have his finger pressed tight on the pulse of both recruitments. If Simpson and Moore both choose to go elsewhere, Groce will need to have a back-up plan in place. Te’Jon Lucas out of Milwaukee is a potential fallback option.
If Simpson or Moore eventually commit to Illi-
nois? Great. If Lucas or some other dark horse does? Well, okay. The Illi-ni need warm bodies to run the show.
Groce just can’t strike out. He needs to go get somebody, and he must go about it carefully.

Athletes are super-stitious. For some ath-letes, the entire day prior to their event can be determined by their beliefs about what does and doesn’t work for them. But where is the line between superstition and ritual drawn? A ritual, some-thing someone will do consistently before an event, does not become a superstition until that person believes that by completing the ritual, they will win the game or meet.
Ian Barnett, senior on the Illinois men’s cross-country team, doesn’t have any superstitions. He believes that all the hard word he puts in will help him race well, but he does typi-cally watch a “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” marathon in the hotel before the race — if it’s on TV.
A ritual doesn’t have to be something extra, however. It could be an athlete just going through their typical pre-event routine of stretching or relaxing. That’s what junior Sean Pengelly does.
While some might roll their eyes when they hear someone singing their favorite pump-up music to them-selves before game-time, there’s no doubt that completing these rituals or superstitions brings a certain level of calm to athletes before a competition, and for regular people, before they start their days. Shoes
For runners, hav-ing the correct shoes is imperative because each runner has a dif-ferent stride and style — which can change throughout their run-
ning careers. Finding the shoe that works best can sometimes be hit or miss. Some run-ners need extra sup-port, others prefer to wear a lighter shoe ver-sus one that could weigh them down, it’s a matter of personal preference and perspective.
For Pengelly, the physical build of the shoes and their visual appeal make Nike his favorite.
“They are great for a distance runner,” he said. “Especially the structure-type shoe for someone like me who needs the extra support over the long mileage weeks.”
Just like car ties, run-ning shoes start to go bad and lose their tread and structure after they get used for so many miles, which is why it isn’t uncommon for run-ners to have multiple pairs of shoes for differ-ent types of workouts or to alternate which shoes they wear. There is no standard rule, however, once more, it’s up to the runner and what feels comfortable for them.
Junior Dylan Lafond currently owns three pairs of shoes; Nike Pegasus 31 for his every day runs, Nike Lunar Racer 3 for workouts, and Nike Mutumbo Elite shoes for racing, which he runs 350-400 miles in before he gets a new pair.
On the other hand, Pengelly has a “‘junk’ pair of training shoes, a pair of training flats, a pair of racing flats (for roads, tracks, and even-footed cross-country courses), track spikes (for faster track events or flat-foot-ed, fast cross-country courses) and a pair of cross-country spikes.”

MANHATTAN, Kansas — Before Kansas State stu-dents can pick up their tick-ets to home sporting events this year, they have to sign a sportsmanship pledge in which they promise to “refrain from using profan-ity and inappropriate chants” and to “show respect for all participating student-athletes, coaches, fans and officials.”
Any student found in vio-lation of the sportsmanship pledge risks punishment from the school, including being removed from games and hav-ing their tickets taken away for the athletic year.
The sportsmanship pledge is a first of its kind in the Big 12. K-State students and ath-letic administrators came up with the idea together, said Scott Garrett, K-State’s senior associate athletic director for external operations. They held several meetings on sports-manship after K-State’s men’s basketball victory against Kansas last season at Bram-lage Coliseum, where students loudly chanted inappropriate language during the game and stormed the court afterward. A student seemingly went out of his way to bump KU’s Jamari Traylor.
Arena security failed to properly control the postgame celebration, which led to a rep-rimand from the conference and new Big 12 policies on the subject. Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby can now punish schools with fines and more serious measures if they lose control of future game-day atmospheres.
In his latest letter to K-State fans, athletic director John Currie praised the sports-manship pledge, writing that sportsmanship has become a conference-wide emphasis.
“We take sportsmanship very seriously,” he wrote, “and truly believe that our fans are the best in the country.”
The hope is for them to be both vocal and respectful.
“We don’t want to do any-thing to diminish the type of atmosphere that we have from a competitive standpoint,” Garrett said. “Our students make a very intimidating environment. We don’t want to take away from that. This is a way for us and for our stu-dents to take leadership.
“There is a very vocal minority of people that don’t necessarily behave the right way all the time, but it rein-forces for the ones that are positive that the culture at Kansas State is for our stu-dent fans to provide a posi-tive atmosphere, not one that detracts from our national reputation.”
Garrett said he has not heard any complaints from students about the pledge.
“We had a student sports-manship committee with lead-ers from all across campus,” Garrett said, “and they have really been pleased with how things came together. It has been positive.”
Question is, how serious-ly will K-State enforce the sportsmanship pledge? When a student, or group of students, curses during a game, will they really be banned from football games for the remain-der or the year? Will they be
issued a warning? What if the entire student section chants something inappropriate?
The answer is to be determined.
“We will deal with those on a case-by-case basis,” Gar-rett said. “That is no different from what we have had before. We have had ejections for stu-dents that consumed alcohol and were physically impaired. We have had ejections for stu-dents with profanity on their shirts. Sometimes they go through campus police, some-times they go through the stu-
dent judicial system.“Basically, we don’t want
to surprise anyone. Here are our expectations and here is what can happen if you don’t meet those expectations down the road. I hope we don’t have to do that. That wasn’t the intent of making them sign this pledge. Our students are prepared to take ownership of really providing a competitive environment without modify-ing the game-day experience. They are committed to help-ing us reinforce that positive culture.”
