University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Since its founding in 1867, the
University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign has earned a reputa-
tion as an institution of interna-
tional stature. Its distinguished
faculty, outstanding resources,
breadth of academic programs
and research disciplines, and
large and diverse student body
constitute an educational com-
munity ideally suited for scholar-
ship and research.
Known internationally for its
achievements in research and
graduate study, the University
enrolls some 9,000 graduate and
professional students in more
than 100 disciplines, and ap-
proximately $200 million a year
in private, state, and federal
grants and contract appropria-
tions. In recent years, a signifi-
cant amount of this support has
been directed toward the creation
and development of major
centers for advanced research
and study, including more than
$100 million for the National
Center for Supercomputing
Applications and the Center for
Supercomputing Research and
Development. Together, these
two centers have established the
University as a recognized world
leader in the fields of
supercomputing architecture,
design, and applications. In 1989,
the University inaugurated the
Arnold O. and Mabel M.
Beckman Institute for Advanced
Science and Technology. The
most visible example of the
University's commitment to
interdisciplinary study, the
institute brings together investi-
gators from several disciplines for
the study of human and artificial
intelligence.
The University's research
mission shares prominence with
a fundamental commitment to
undergraduate education. Nearly
26,000 undergraduate students
are enrolled in 10 undergraduate
divisions, together offering more
than 4,000 courses in more than
150 fields of study. The divisions
include the College of Agricul-
ture, College of Applied Life
Studies. College of Commerce
and Business Administration,
College of Communications,
College of Education, College of

j Engineering, College of Fine and
Applied Arts, College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences, Institute of
Aviation, and School of Social
Work.
About 30 percent of the
campus's graduates choose to
continue their education in
graduate or professional schools.
Typically, 90 percent of gradu-
ates who apply to law school are
accepted; 75 percent are accepted
to medical school.
Academic resources on the
campus are among the finest in
the world. The University of
Illinois Library at Urbana-
Champaign is the third largest
academic collection in the
nation, housing more than 13
million items in the main library
and 35 departmental libraries.
Only Harvard and Yale have
larger collections. The Library's
computerized cataloging system
was the first in the world to serve
t as the primary access to a large
I academic library. Users can
(access the Library's collections
from more than 200 computer
I terminals placed throughout the
campus.
The University supports a
' long tradition in computer-aided
education. PLATO (TM), the
largest computer-based instruc-
tional system in the world, was
developed at the University of
Illinois nearly 30 years ago.
Today, more than 65,000 users
(worldwide take advantage of
J 22,000 instructional material files
I at 2,200 terminals each day.
NovaNET(TM), the University's
newest full-service computer
i network, delivers computer-aided
instruction via satellite.
In recent years, the Univer-
sity has entered into cooperative
agreements with such corpora-
tions as IBM. AT&T, Apple, and
Zenith, placing 8,000 computer
terminals in classrooms, resi-

dence halls, and campus libraries
for use in classroom instruction,
study, and research.
Among the University's most
significant resources is its tal-
ented and highly respected
faculty. More than 80 faculty
members belong to the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences,
the National Academy of Sci-
ences, or the National Academy
of Engineering. Nine scientists
have received the National Medal
of Science and 42 have received
the Presidential Young Investiga-
tors Award while on the faculty.
Professor Emeritus John Bardeen
won the Nobel Prize in physics
twice — the only person ever to do
so.
Another prime indicator of
the University's excellence is the
success of its alumni. Eight
graduates have won Nobel Prizes
for the United States, and another
15 have won Pulitzer Prizes.
A major center for the arts,
the campus attracts dozens of
nationally and internationally
renowned artists each year to its
widely acclaimed Krannert
Center for the Performing Arts.
Designed bv alumnus Max
Abramovitz, an architect of New
York City's Lincoln Center, the
facility has four indoor theaters
and an outdoor amphitheater.
Together, they host more than
275 performances each year,
including those by major sym-
phony orchestras, classical and
modern ballet companies, and
individual artists such as Luciano
Pavarotti, Jean-Pierre Rampal,
and Issac Stern.
The University also supports
three major museums: the
Krannert Art Museum, second
only to the Art Institute of Chi-
cago among Illinois public art
museums; the World Heritage
Museum: and the Museum of
Natural History.
Other major facilities include
the Assembly Hall (16.153 seats),
Memorial Stadium (70,100 seats),
and the Intramural-Physical
Education Building, one of the
largest recreational facilities of its
kind on a university campus.
Located in east-central
Illinois in the two cities of
Urbana and Champaign (popula-
tion 100,000), the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is
the state of Illinois' flagship
public university.
Campus Life
N
()
In academics, as in athletics,
opportunity and support are vital
to success. The University of
Illinois offers the best of both.
Opportunity conies in myriad
forms, including:
■ More than 4,000 courses in
more than 150 fields of study.
"A mind-boggling variety of
majors is available," wrote
Gene Hawes, author of The
College Board Guide to Going
to College While Working.
m A distinguished faculty.
Twice in the last five years,
the U of I has led the nation in
number of Fulbright Scholars.
Illinois faculty members have
been named Presidential
Young Investigators 42 times
since the awards were insti-
tuted in 1984. Nine scientists
have won the National Medal
of Science while serving on
the UI faculty.
■ The nation's largest public
university library, with more
than 7.5 million volumes and
more than 18 million items.
■ Student access to more than
8,000 computer workstations
in classrooms, libraries,
residence halls and the Illini
Union.
Assistance is available to all
students to help them make the
most of these vast resources.
Student-athletes come under the
special program of the academic
services office, overseen by a full-
time academic counselor. It
includes educational evaluation,
advising, classroom performance
monitoring, scheduled study
halls, tutoring and effective use
of university facilities.
It is little wonder that the
1988 edition of Selective Guide to
Colleges, by Edward B. Fiske,
education editor of The New York
Times, awards the U of I five
stars, its highest ranking, and
describes it as "a giant among
academic institutions, ranking
among the world's great universi-
ties." Learning and participating
are important outside, as well as
inside, the classroom. And at the
University of Illinois, the oppor-
tunities are as limitless in extra-
curricular arenas as they are in
academic arenas.
Housing? First-rate residence
halls with good food, the nation's
largest fraternity and sorority
system, independent housing and
a wide range of apartments
provide broad choices of where
and how to live.
Activities? More than 700
student organizations provide an
outlet for every interest, from the
philanthropies of Volunteer Illini
Projects to the rock music of
student radio station WPGU.
There are more than 40 student
organizations for minority inter-
ests.

N
O
Sports and recreation? The
Intramural-Physical Education
[Building is one of the largest
(complexes on any campus, with
four gymnasiums, 23 handball/
racquetball courts, weight and
exercise equipment, indoor and
outdoor pools, tennis courts and
more. The U of I has one of the
most comprehensive intramural
sports programs in the nation. If
the great outdoors is more to your
liking, the university's 1,500-acre
Allerton Park includes sculpture
gardens, formal gardens and
natural woodlands.
Culture and entertainment?
The domed Assembly Hall seats
more than 16,000 for rock con-
certs, ice shows, circuses, Broad-
way musicals and, of course,
Illinois basketball. Beautifully
restored Foellinger Auditorium
on the Quad seats 1,750 for
concerts, films and speakers. And
the Krannert Center for the
Performing Arts is "arguably the
best performing arts facilities in
the nation," according to the
education editor of Time Maga-
zine. It holds four theaters for
plays, dance and concerts by
such famed names as the Chicago
Symphony and Itzhak Perlman.
Off campus? Champaign and
Urbana, with a population of
100.000, offer shopping, restau-
rants, movie theaters, night spots
and many other big-city ameni-
ties. Yet, they retain a Midwest-
ern college-town atmosphere.

Academics
UIUC is among the nation's
leading public universities,
enrolling some 26,000 talented
undergraduate students. Its
faculty, prominently represented
in the most esteemed scholarly
academies, is dedicated to the
University's founding land-grant
mission — providing an education
that offers the most advanced
technical and professional
instruction in the context of a
broad-based education in the
liberal arts and sciences. Stu-
dents are admitted to one of the
University's 10 undergraduate
divisions that together offer more
than 4,000 courses in some 150
programs of study.
The University's commitment
to providing the richest possible
educational environment is seen
throughout the campus — from the
nation's third largest academic
library, to support for innova-
tions in computer-aided instruc-
tion and nationally recognized
programs and services for dis-
abled students. The Undergradu-
ate Library offers extensive
instructional programs on using
the library and its services,
including library tours, computer
workshops, reference services,
and term paper research counsel-
ing. The University's progressive
residence hall system provides a
full range of programs and
services designed to support each
student's academic pursuits.
Assistance is available to all
students to help them make the
most of these vast resources.
Student-athletes come under the
special program of the academic
services office, overseen by a full-
time academic counselor. Aca-
demic services offers educational
evaluation, advising, classroom
performance monitoring, sched-
uled study halls, tutoring and

The Assembly Hall
I There is just one facility that
could host not only Fighting
I Illini Basketball, but also the Ice
Capades, Whitney Houston, Huey
I Lewis and the News, Stevie
' Wonder, M.C. Hammer, Broad-
I way plays and Bill Cosby. That
I place is the Assembly Hall.
One of the world's most
t unique arenas, the Assembly Hall
has won world-wide acclaim for
[ its architectural design — a design
that has been used as a model for
| more than 125 buildings around
the globe. The Assembly Hall was
t built between 1959 and 1963 at a
cost of $8.35 million. The struc-
I ture consists of two concrete
' bowls placed face to face; the
, 400-foot diameter of the dome
i makes it the largest of its kind in
II the world.
Its circular seating arrange-
ment makes the Assembly Hall
an ideal place to watch an event;
it gives each of the spectators
(potentially 16,153 for basketball)
an excellent, unobstructed view
of the exciting action on the
court. That capacity has been
stretched to overflowing on 41
occasions; four of those tightly-
packed crowds viewed games just
last season. The all-time atten-
dance mark was set March 1,
1987, when 16,793 Fighting Illini
fans enjoyed a victory over
eventual national champion
Indiana.
Illinois has enjoyed great
success in the Assembly Hall. In
28 seasons the team has won 77
percent of the games it has
played (273-82 record). In fact, in
a recent two-year period, the
Fighting Illini went on a streak of
31 wins there.
In 1989-90, Illinois averaged
over 12,000 fans per home game
for the 11th consecutive season;
224,443 fans passed through the
turnstiles (average of 16,031 per
game). Only in 1979-80 and 1988-
89 did the Fighting Illini play
before more home fans (271,375
and 262,215 respectively). In
1970-71, the Assembly Hall
accommodated an NCAA record-
setting 177,408 spectators (since
broken), when all 11 home games
were sellouts.

O
University of Illinois Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees of the
University of Illinois exercises
final authority over the admin-
istration and governance of the
University, within limits fixed
by the Illinois Constitution and
state law.
Trustees are elected
statewide by the citizens of
Illinois in November general
elections. The nine elected
members serve six-year stag-
gered terms; three terms expire
and are filled every two years.
Board members serve without
pay.
The governor of Illinois is
an ex officio member of the
board. Two students, one from
each campus, serve single-year
terms; student trustee votes are
advisory only. The student
trustees for 1990-91 are Dawn
Kelly (Chicago campus) and
Scott Forbes (Urbana-
Champaign campus).
The president of the board
is elected annually, in January,
from among the elected trust-
ees.
'Because of the early printing deadlines for
this media guide, the makeup of the Board
of Trustees may be different from that
shown above. The terms of Trustees Bacon,
Gravenhorst and Hahn will have expired on
Januarv 1, 1991. following the November
election, although each will have sought re-
election.

executive officers of the Big Ten
Conference universities.
Dr. Ikenberry lives with his
wife, Judith, in the President's
House in Urbana. The Ikenberrys
have three sons.
Chancellor Morton W. Weir
Morton W. Weir became the
campus' fifth chancellor in April
of 1988. Weir joined the Urbana-
Champaign faculty in 1960 and
has served in a variety of faculty
and administrative posts since
then. Before assuming the
leadership of the campus, Weir
served as vice president for
academic affairs, the senior
academic officer for both U of I
campuses, at Urbana-Champaign
and Chicago.
Weir is a fellow of the Ameri-
can Association for the Advance-
ment of Science and member of
the Society for Research in Child

Weir is a native of Canton.
He and his wife, Cecelia, have
three children.

Chief llliniwek
One of the most dramatic
and dignified traditions in
college athletics is the per-
formance of Chief lllini-
wek at the University of
Illinois. Since 1926, this
symbol has stirred pride
and respect in audiences at
Memorial Stadium and the
Assembly Hall.
llliniwek (pronounced
"ill-EYE-nih-wek") was the
name of the loose confed-
eration of Algonquin tribes
that once lived in the re-
gion. The French changed
the ending to "ois" in
naming what became the
state of Illinois. llliniwek
means "they are men," and
former Illinois football
Coach Robert Zuppke is
believed to have suggested
calling the UI symbol Chief
llliniwek.
In 1926, Assistant
Band Director Ray Dvorak
conceived the idea of per-
forming an American In-
dian dance during halftime
of the Illinois vs. Pennsyl-
vania football game in
Philadelphia. Lester Leutwiler, a
student interested in Indian lore,
was chosen for the role. Leut-
wiler's performance, done in a
homemade costume, was re-
ceived so well that he was asked
to continue his dance through the
1928 season.
Webber Borchers, the second
Chief llliniwek, was the first to
appear in authentic American
Indian regalia. He initiated a
campaign to raise money to
replace his homemade outfit with
an authentic one, but with the
Depression on, he received just
$15. However, a Champaign
merchant stepped in to fund the
rest and Borchers was off.
He recalled: "In the sum-
mer of 1930 I went, at my
own expense, to the Pine
Ridge Reservation in South
Dakota. I hitchhiked out,
called an Indian agent and
explained my mission. He
and an Indian trader called
in an older Sioux Indian
woman. She and two
younger women made the
suit."
On Nov. 8, 1930 in New
York's Yankee Stadium,
Illinois faced Army in the
seventh game of the
season. It was there that
Borchers made the first
appearance of Chief
llliniwek in that outfit.
Since then, five different
authentic outfits have been
used by Chief llliniwek.
The one used in perfor-
mances now was pur-
chased in 1983 from Sioux
Chief Frank Fools Crow,
and is topped by a head-
dress of turkey feathers.

Division of Intercollegiate Athletics
The forerunner of the Division of
Intercollegiate Athletics (DIA),
the University of Illinois Athletic
Association, was chartered in
1892 as a not-for-profit corpora-
tion of the state of Illinois; it was
charged with overseeing and
conducting the University's
intercollegiate athletic programs
and associated support services,
and operated as a separate entity.
After the state legislature
voted in June, 1989 to bring UI
athletics within the University
proper, the DIA assumed the
functions and responsibilities of
the Athletic Association. The
Division of Intercollegiate Athlet-
ics began operations officially
July 1. 1989.
The Director of Athletics is
the Division's chief executive
officer, and reports directly to the
Chancellor of the Urbana-
Champaign campus. The Chan-
cellor has final say regarding the
athletic program in all areas
except the budget and approval
of major appointments. Those
decisions rest with the University
of Illinois Board of Trustees.
The Athletic Board serves the
DIA in an advisory capacity. It is
composed of 18 members, 15 of
which are voting members (eight
faculty, four alumni, two stu-
dents and one representative
from the University's Board of
Trustees); the three non-voting
members are from the University
administration.
The faculty and student
members are nominated by the
Urbana-Champaign Senate and
selected by the Chancellor for
consideration by the President of
the University and the Board of
Trustees.
DIA revenues are derived
from three major sources: gate
receipts from football and men's
basketball, television rights fees
for those two sports, and dona-
tions to the Fighting Illini Schol-
arship Fund.

University of Illinois Athletic Facilities
With revenue generated from
three major sources (football and
men's basketball gate receipts,
radio/television revenue and
donations), the University of
Illinois over the years has been
able to maintain and upgrade its
athletic facilities, staying on par
with the best major collegiate
programs across the nation.
The Division of Intercol-
legiate Athletics is in a stepped-
up phase of capital development.
Recent additions to the athletic
facilities during this Campaign
for Excellence include new arti-
ficial turf on the Memorial
Stadium football field, as well as
an air-supported dome to cover it
during the off season. The
"bubble," as it is called, allows
for Zuppke Field to be utilized
year round for such activities as
postseason bowl preparation, in-
tramurals, and spring baseball
practice, as well as others. Other
additions to Memorial Stadium
include a nationally-renowned
football/training headquarters,
featuring one of the nation's
largest and most advanced weight
training rooms, a sports medicine
area, and athlete study halls. This
has brought all aspects of the
football program into one central
area, thereby increasing effi-
ciency and performance.
Football is not the only ath-
letic program receiving a boost
from the new and improved fa-
cilities. Baseball begins its fourth
season in the first-rate Proano
Stadium, which seats 1,500 and
is targeted for an expansion to
accommodate 5,000.
The nationally-acclaimed
track team is also primed for its
fourth season in the $2.2 million
dollar track and field stadium.
Future expansion plans for this
facility allow for up to 12,000
seats.
During the summer of 1990,
the DIA began construction on
one facility and renovated an-
other. In August, formal ground
greaking for the 14-court Clinton
C. and Susan A. Atkins Tennis
Center took place, with comple-
tion for the $2.5 million indoor-
outdoor facility slated for the fall
of 1991. In September, Illinois'
volleyball team took up residence
in its newly-refurbished home,
historic Huff Gymnasium.
On the drawing board is an
athletic administration office
building, featuring a public
gallery, U of I Hall of Fame, and
offices for numerous Division of
Intercollegeiate Athletics person-
nel. Also planned is a 5,000-seat
multi-sports competition build-
ing, which would provide much
needed space for practice and
competition in volleyball, wres-
tling, fencing, gymnastics and
basketball.
The "bubble" transforms the Memorial Stadium turf each winter
into a climate-controlled workout for the Fighting lllini student-
athletes.
Illinois' athletic teams have state-of-the-art training facilities, such
as this weight room at Memorial Stadium.

Director of Athletics John Mackovic
As Director of Athletics and
Head Football Coach, John
Mackovic brings a wealth of
successful coaching and
administrative experience to
the Division of Intercol-
legiate Athletics. His integ-
rity, attention to detail and
success on and off the field
with the Illinois football
team led to his appointment
as director of athletics by
the Board of Trustees of the
University of Illinois in
December of 1988.
Under Mackovic's
leadership, Illinois led the
Big Ten Conference with
seven league titles (men's
and women's track, volley-
ball, baseball, men's gym-
nastics) and one NCAA
national championship
(men's gymnastics) in 1988-
89. In addition, the men's
basketball team advanced to the
NCAA Final Four. In 1989-90,
Illinois captured two Big Ten
titles (women's gymnastics and
baseball).
Mackovic's administration
also can take credit for the
department's aggressive cam-
paign to improve the University's
athletic facilities. During the
summer of 1990, construction
began on one facility while
another was renovated. Formal
groundbreaking for the 14-court
Clinton C. and Susan A. Atkins
Tennis Center took place in
August, with the giant structure
slated for completion during the
fall of 1991. The refurbishing of
historic Huff Gymnasium last
summer gave the Fighting Illini
volleyball team a new home
beginning with the 1990 season.
Mackovic's expertise as a
football coach at the University of
Illinois speaks for itself. The
third-year Fighting Illini mentor
is widely recognized as one of the
nation's premiere strategists,
having been named the Big Ten
Conference's Coach of the Year in
each of his first two seasons, an
unprecedented feat. During
Mackovic's first two seasons, the
Fighting Illini compiled a 16-7-1
overall record and a 12-3-1 mark
in conference games. Both teams
went on to post-season Bowl
appearances, with the 1989 squad
emerging as champions of the
Florida Citrus Bowl.
Prior to arriving at Illinois,
Mackovic served as president of
the Cypress Professional Devel-
opment Group, a consulting and
training organization. He
also is president of his own
company, Yes, Inc. a ser-
vice-related organization
directed to motivational
speaking with radio and
television exposure.
Mackovic also has been
active in a number of civic
and charity events, includ-
ing the Champaign-Urbana
March of Dimes. He also is a
member of the Board of
Directors of First of America
Bank in Champaign.
Mackovic was previously
head football coach of the
Kansas City Chiefs of the
National Football League
and at his alma mater, Wake
Forest.
Mackovic was an all-
conference quarterback at
Wake Forest and graduated
in 1965 with a bachelor's
degree in Spanish. He earned his
master's degree in educational
administration from Miami of
Ohio in 1967.
Mackovic, his wife, Arlene,
and children, Aimee and John,
reside in Champaign.

Head Coach Lou Henson
Lou Henson is at the pinnacle of
his profession. The 58-year-old
Okay, Okla., native enters his
29th season of college coaching
as the fifth-winningest (556
victories) active NCAA Division I
coach. After guiding Illinois to its
most successful basketball season
ever (record 31 wins and NCAA
Final Four appearance) in 1989,
Henson is one of just nine
coaches to have taken teams from
two different schools to that late
March-early April extravaganza.
Henson has a proven track
record wherever he has lent his
expertise. His teams have either
tied or set school records for
Under Lou Henson, the Fighting lllini have:
■ Made their first NCAA Final Four appear-
ance since 1952
■ Won 20 or more games for eight consecutive
seasons
■ Made 11 consecutive postseason appear-
ances, eight of which have been in the
NCAA Tournament
■ Become one of just two teams to receive top-
20 NCAA Tournament seeds in each of the
last six seasons
■ Become a fixture at or near the top of the Big
Ten Conference defensive statistical charts
■ Made him the 21st coach in NCAA history to
have won 500 games in a career; No. 500
came Feb. 29, 1988, at Indiana
■ Produced a 150-29 (.838) non-conference
record
■ Put together 10 of the 16 Illinois basketball
20-win seasons, and 10 consecutive seasons
with 10 or more Big Ten wins
■ Won an average of more than 24 games per
season over the last seven years
■ Sent eight players on to the NBA (who are
currently playing, according to pre-season
rosters): Eddie Johnson (Phoenix Suns),
Derek Harper (Dallas Mavericks), Ken
Norman (Los Angeles Clippers), Nick
Anderson (Orlando Magic), Kenny Battle
(Phoenix Suns), Scott Meents (Seattle
Supersonics), Kendall Gill (Charlotte Hor-
nets), and Marcus Liberty (Denver Nuggets).
■ Played 15 seasons, placing Henson behind
only Harry Combes as the Fighting lllini
basketball coach with the longest tenure,
and tying him with Combes as the coach
with the most wins at Illinois (both men
have 316-150 records with the Fighting lllini
as Henson begins this season).

victories (in a season) seven
times. It is no accident that
Henson-coached teams have
averaged more than 21 wins per
season, including eight consecu-
tive seasons with 20 or more
wins, and postseason appear-
ances every year since the 1979-
80 campaign.
Henson's basketball career
began in his hometown. After
taking his skills to Connor (Okla.)
Junior College and New Mexico
State, he moved to a less familiar
vantage point, the sidelines. He
ventured immediately into
coaching, spending six seasons at
Las Cruces High School in New
Mexico, where he served as
junior varsity coach for two
years, before being promoted to
head coach. While at LCHS,
Henson compiled 145 wins
against just 23 losses, capturing
three consecutive state champi-
onships along the way.
Hardin-Simmons gave
Henson his first opportunity at
coaching at the collegiate level,
and he seized the opportunity by
putting together 20-victory
seasons on two occasions. Those
20-win seasons sandwiched a 17-
win campaign, and each was
built around a forward out of
Syracuse, N.Y., named Dick
Nagy. Nagy, now an assistant
coach with Illinois, recalls what
it was like to play for Henson.
"He's the guy who taught me
what it means to play hard and
work at defense. If you made a
mistake you were out and you
knew it. He never interfered with
the things you needed to keep
relaxed when you were shooting.
His system hasn't changed,
although he may be more flex-
ible."
Henson's fourth and final
season at Hardin-Simmons ended
at 20-6. That same year (1966),
New Mexico State was finishing
at 4-22. The Aggies called upon
16
N
O
Henson to rebuild their program,
and the next season he produced
a 15-11 slate, and took the team
on the first of six trips to the
NCAA tournament. Of those
appearances, the 1970 season was
the most fruitful; New Mexico
State finished the season with 27
wins and three losses. The final
loss was to eventual champion,
UCLA, in the semifinals of the
NCAA tournament. It was the
third consecutive time the Bruins
had knocked off Henson's Aggies.
New Mexico went on to win its
final game against St.
Bonaventure, and finished third
in the tournament. Members of
that 1970 quintet included three
players who made names for
themselves in the NBA: Sam
Lacey (Kansas City Kings),
Charlie Criss (Atlanta Hawks)
and All-America guard and
current Illinois assistant coach,
Jimmy Collins (Chicago Bulls).
On top of the four 20-win
seasons at New Mexico State,
Henson won 19 games twice and
had only one losing season. Over
his 28-year career, Henson has
had just three losing seasons.
Within two years of each, he had
either won 20 games or led his
team to a postseason tournament.
Despite the three years of
disappointment John Wooden's
teams handed Henson at tourna-
ment time, it was Wooden's
retirement that paved the way for
Henson's arrival in Champaign.
UCLA decided to replace
Wooden with then-Illinois coach
Gene Bartow. Henson was chosen
to fill the vacancy left by Bartow,
and rebuild a team that finished
8-18 the previous year. He was
the third coach in as many years
for Illinois.
Henson's combined record
for his first three seasons at
Illinois was just two games over
.500. From then on, he has never
been fewer than seven games

over that mark. Former assistant
Tony Yates made recruiting
inroads to Chicago, and Jimmy
Collins has strengthened those
ties. This has all provided the
foundation for a program that is
generally considered one of the
nation's best, year-in and year-
out. With the NIT final four
appearance in 1980. a Big Ten co-
championship in 1984, eight
consecutive NCAA tournament
appearances and the Final Four
trip to Seattle in 1989, the pro-
gram has consistently been oneof
the country's strongest. In fact,
Illinois and Duke are the only
two teams to have received top-
20 NCAA seeds the last six years
in succession.
Henson has always been a
stickler for defense. His 1966
New Mexico State squad held its
opponents to 39 percent shooting
from the field. For the past six
seasons, his teams have been
either first or second in the Big
Ten in at least one of the two
defensive statistical categories
(FG percentage or points al-
lowed). Since he has led the
Fighting Illini program, the
opponents' combined field goal
percentage is 44.4, while the
Illini have shot 49.1.
Lou Henson earned his 500th
career victory at Indiana Feb. 29,
1988. He is the 21st coach in
NCAA history to manage that
feat. His 556 wins ranks him fifth
among NCAA Division I active
coaches. In addition, he has won
more games than any other
current Big Ten coach.
Henson and his wife, Mary,
have four children and live in
Champaign.
"My philosophy is to be a dictator
on the floor and friendly off. I
want to be fair and have an inter-
est in the players. You should be
concerned about their grades and
help them with their problems.
Every good club has discipline . . .
it is impossible to be a good coach
without discipline. You can't teach
in a classroom without it. Coach-
ing is teaching."

Illinois Basketball Staff
DiCk Nagy Assistant Coach
From Hardin-Simmons to the
NCAA Final Four, Dick Nagy has
been with Lou Henson both as a
player and as an assistant coach.
In fact, since he rejoined Henson
in 1979, the Fighting Illini have
played in post-season tourna-
ments every year.
Nagy, a Syracuse, N.Y.,
native, began his long association
with Henson when he was
convinced by the future Illinois
mentor to attend Hardin-
Simmons. Nagy, who had been
out of high school for three years
and had played independent
basketball in Syracuse, led the
Cowboys to a pair of 20-6 records
in two of the three seasons he
and Henson were together. After
Henson departed Hardin-
Simmons for New Mexico State,
Nagy captained his second
Cowboys team, and then went on
to serve as an assistant coach at
the school for two more years.
Nagy later moved on to start
the basketball program at Barton
Junior College in Great Bend,
Kan., in 1969. After the 1976
season, Nagy moved into private
business before accepting the
head coaching job at East Central
Junior College in Union, Mo.
In addition to his coaching
(primarily with the inside play-
ers) and recruiting duties, Nagy is
the coordinator of Illinois'
highly-successful summer basket-
ball camp. He has two children,
Robin and Scott, and lives in
Champaign.
Jimmy Collins Assistant Coach
A former first-round draft pick of
the Chicago Bulls, Jimmy Collins
rejoined Lou Henson in 1983 as a
full-time assistant.
Collins was a star guard at
New Mexico State under Henson;
he averaged 20.1 points per game
over his three-year career, leading
the Aggies to an NCAA Final
Four appearance in 1970. After
college he spent two-and-a-half
years with the Bulls, and finished
his playing career with the
Carolina Cougars of the American
Basketball Association.
Collins was a probation
officer in Chicago prior to coming
to Illinois. He was also a volun-
teer coach at St. Thomas School
in Chicago, and coordinated
summer basketball leagues in the
city. Collins has also coached in
the pro-college league of Chicago,
where he was named Coach of
the Year in 1981.
A native of Syracuse, N.Y.,
Collins received his bachelor's
degree in journalism from NMSU.
Following his pro career, he
returned to the Las Cruces
campus to serve as a graduate
assistant. He returned to Chicago
in 1976 to enter private business
before joining the probation
office in 1977.
His coaching responsibilities
with Illinois, in addition to
recruiting, lie largely with the
development with the guards.
Collins and his wife, Hettie, have
four children, Erica, Kenny,
Semaj and Brandi, and live in
Champaign.

Mark COOmeS Assistant Coach
In his second stint as an assistant
under Lou Henson, Mark Coomes
has spent a total of eight years
with the Illinois mentor.
A native of Shannon, 111.,
Coomes graduated from Western
Illinois University in 1974. He
went to New Mexico State as a
graduate assistant under Henson
from 1974-75, earning an M.A. in
education management and
development in 1975.
Following the 1975 season,
Coomes followed Henson to
Illinois as a part-time assistant,
and stayed there until being
named an assistant at Northern
Illinois. He was at NIU from
1977-82 before being named head
coach at Wabash Valley Commu-
nity College in Indiana. He
compiled a record of 63-13 in two
seasons there and was a two-time
NJCAA Region XXIV Coach-of-
the-Year.
In 1984, Coomes was named
head coach and athletic director
at the University of Southern
Indiana and led his team to a
conference co-championship. He
returned to Illinois the following
season to rejoin Henson.
Coomes' chief coaching
responsibilities are in the areas of
scouting, developing game plans,
and monitoring the academic
progress of the players. He and
his wife, Linda, have two chil-
dren, Anthony and Andrea, and
live in Champaign.
Aflthony WelCh Graduate Assistant Coach
Anthony Welch is no stranger to
the University of Illinois or the
Henson basketball system. He is
the newest member of the staff,
returning to Champaign this past
summer. Welch played for the
Fighting Illini from 1981-86, and
lettered four times. The 27-year-
old Grand Rapids, Mich., native
scored 1,217 points while help-
ing Illinois to a 113-46 (.711)
record during his tenure as a
player.
Welch received his bachelor's
degree in political science/
business administration from the
U of I in 1986. He was a third-
round draft choice of the NBA

1990-91 Prospectus
The Fighting Illini basketball
team takes on a new look for
1990-91. It will compensate for a
lack of overall experience with
talent and enthusiasm. Since
most of the conference schools
will be fielding younger teams
this year, the prospects for an
upper division Big Ten finish, a
ninth consecutive NCAA Tourna-
ment berth and another 20-plus
win season still appear bright.
Veteran Coach Lou Henson
will have a challenge on his
hands, with the departure of five
players who started the majority
of last year's 29 games. Kendall
Gill, the 1990 Big Ten scoring
champion and Stephen Bardo,
one of the Big Ten's top defensive
players, have graduated and
appear to be headed for NBA
careers. Would-be senior Marcus
Liberty has opted to test his NBA
fortunes a year early, and Ervin
Small and P.J. Bowman have
completed their eligibility and
are pursuing other career inter-
ests. Out of 145 player starts in
1989-90, 18 are represented on
the 1990-91 roster, so the Fight-
ing Illini have the equivalent of a
little less than one full-time
starter returning, represented by
junior forward Andy Kaufmann
(16 starts last season), and Andy
Kpedi (two starts). Rodney Jones
started seven games last season at
center, but was declared aca-
demically ineligible after the
completion of the summer term
in August. The bonus, however,
is that Larry Smith, who played
extensively at point guard on
Illinois' 1989 NCAA Final Four
team, will be back for his senior
season after sitting out last year.
But few, if any, positions, appear
set prior to the beginning of fall
practice.
"You can't lose five starters
off a team and not have it hurt
you," Henson said. "But six other
Big Ten teams this year have a lot
of young players like we do.
Michigan State, Indiana and Ohio
State will be tough to catch, but I
like our talent, and I like our
chances at finishing in the top
half of the league and going again
to the NCAA Tournament."
FR0NTC0URT
It appears that three players
will vie for the starting center
and power forward positions.
Andy Kpedi (6'8", Sr., Kankakee)
showed flashes of exceptional
play (especially defensively) in
the middle of last season (2.8
ppg, 2.8 rpg) despite being
plagued much of the time by a
stress fracture in his right shin
bone, and is expected to be at full
strength for his final UI season.
Highly-talented Deon Thomas
(6'9", Fr., Chicago), 1989 Mr.
Basketball in the state of Illinois,
should shake off the cobwebs
after redshirting last season (and
not practicing during NCAA
deliberations on the Fighting
Illini basketball program), and
could become a major force
inside, both as a scorer and a
rebounder. Tom Michael spent
the 1989-90 campaign learning
the ropes and getting stronger as
a redshirt player; one of his best
assets is his shooting range, and
his success will have a great deal
of bearing on how the team will
Andy Kaufman will be Illinois' most experienced player in the frontcourt

N
O
fare. Scott Pierce (6'8", Fr.,
Euless, Tex.), a proven scorer and
rebounder during high school in
the Dallas area, will provide
depth in the forecourt while
serving his "apprenticeship."
Andy Kaufmann (6'6" junior,
Jacksonville) has the inside track
as the starter at small forward. He
played in 12 games as a freshman
before being sidelined for the
remainder of the season with a
blood clot near his left armpit,
and came back to start 16 games
last season. Kaufmann has the
most experience of any frontcourt
player on the squad, and will be
counted upon for leadership and
scoring. Tim Geers (6'5" So.,
Chicago), is expected to make his
move this season and see some
quality time along with
Kaufmann. Geers has good court
awareness and possesses a soft
shooting touch from medium
range. Both Kaufmann and Geers
could see time at both forward
positions.
BACKCOURT
The return of Larry Smith
(6'4" Sr., Alton) to the Fighting
Illini means that the team will
have an experienced starter at
point guard. Smith was espe-
cially instrumental down the
stretch in Illinois' drive to the
NCAA Final Four in 1989. His
ballhandling, penetrating and
traffic directing ability will be a
key to UI fortunes this season.
Smith could occasionally be
asked to play at one of the wing
spots, depending upon how some
of the younger players develop.
Henson has a versatile talent
pool among the guards. One
sophomore and two incoming
freshmen join Smith in the
backcourt, which could have any
of the players in either of the two
positions. Brooks Taylor (6'4"
So., Chicago) played the most of
any of last year's freshmen; the
bulk of his playing time was at
point guard, but he is capable of
contributing at the wing position
as well. Two-time all-stater
Rennie demons (6'0", Fr.,
Springfield), a phenomenal
leaper, showed excellent ability
to both penetrate and score at the
high school level, and will be in
the thick of the wide-open
competition for playing time at
guard, as will T.J. Wheeler (6'4",
Fr., Christopher), who was
frequently a 30-point scorer in
high school. He was effective as a
leader as well, playing point
guard on his basketball team and
quarterback on his football team,
and his outside shooting should
prove to be a formidable weapon
at Illinois.
THE SCHEDULE
The Illinois schedule, as
usual, is a competitive one, with
two tournaments among its 30
games. "Our schedule once again
is a very attractive one," Henson
said. "Our team will be in the
San Juan Shootout Thanksgiving
weekend in Puerto Rico with a
very diverse field of teams, and
we have our own tournament (the
Illini Classic), with Oregon State,
Long Beach State and Georgia
Southern). We look forward to
playing at Penn State, who will
soon be a conference opponent,
and we also have December
games against Missouri, LSU and
Memphis State, which should
help us to be ready for the Big
Ten season."
. . . while Larry Smith, who started on the
1989 Final Four team, will be the veteran in
the backcourt.

March 4, 1990 at Champaign
Illinois had a score to settle with Iowa, specifically, that 69-67 loss on the
Hawkeye's home court Jan. 29. And there was the added emotion of the
game being the last at home for seniors Stephen Bardo, P.J. Bowman,
Kendall Gill and Ervin Small, as well as the strained relations because of
the controversy surrounding Illinois' and Iowa's roles in the recruitment of
Fighting Illini redshirt Deon Thomas. The Hawkeyes tied the score very
early, at 2-2 and 4-4, but Illinois was off and running after that, pushing the
lead to as much as 26 points in the first half. The Fighting Illini expanded
that lead to a maximum of 41 points (113-72) on a Stephen Bardo three-
pointer with 2:13 to go in the game. The 33-point final margin is the largest
ever in the Illinois-Iowa series, and the 188-point total for the Fighting
Illini was the top scoring output for the team since it defeated the
Hawkeyes 188-94 on March 8, 1989. Andy Kaufmann tied his career high
with 21 points, and Ervin Small had the best night of his career in terms of
scoring, putting in 19 points, including the first collegiate three-pointer.
Kaufmann and Marcus Liberty were also perfect from long range, pacing
Illinois to a (school) record 13 trys for the game.

^ILLINOIS VS. MICHIGAN LAST SEASON
lanuary 15, 1990 at Champaign
This was the first meeting of these two teams since the 1989 NCAA Final
IFour. Michigan led all the way in this contest; its biggest lead was 12

point on five occasions, 41-40 (with 18:23 to go), and four times in the final
(3:19. Stephen Bardo led all scorers with a career-high 20 points; he added
seven rebounds. Terry Mills grabbed 10 rebounds (and scored 18 points),
and Loy Vaught chipped in with 14 rebounds (and 11 points), contributing
■to the Wolverines' 41-31 dominance on the boards. Illinois' meager 40.8%
: field goal shooting contributed to its demise. The Michigan win snapped
■ Illinois' 28-game home winning streak and the Fighting Illini string of 10

February 11, 1990 at Ann Arbor
The Fighting Illini attempted to avenge their only home loss of the season,
but without success. The trio of Rumeal Robinson (29 points), Terrv Mills
(20 points) and Loy Vaught (16 points, 18 rebounds), proved to be just too
much for the Orange and Blue. The 14-point final differential equalled
Michigan's 29-15 point advantage from the free throw line. The Fighting
Illini kept it close for the first half (they trailed 41-38 at the intermission),
but it was all Michigan (even without the injured Sean Higgins) in the
second twenty minutes, which finished with a 40-30 rebounding advantage
and a 53.6%-to-45.5% field-goal shooting advantage.

ILLINOIS VS. MICHIGAN STATE LAST SEASON
January 18, 1990 at Champaign
; Improved shooting made a major difference for Illinois against MSU. The
•Fighting Illini hit on 57.4% of their shots (a season best). After Spartan
guard Kirk Manns opened the game with an 18-foot jumper, Illinois
, responded, and never trailed for the balance of the contest, although MSU
[came as close as three points with 6:56 to go in the game, on Ken Redfield's
'three-pointer from the right corner. Illinois responded then writh a 14-2 run
[[started by a dramatic Rodney Jones block of a Matt Steigenga dunk
attempt), which put the game out of the Spartans' reach. Marcus Liberty,
:two days after losing his grandfather to a heart attack, tied his then-career
fchigh of 26 points on 10-of-14 shooting: he also led the Orange and Blue
Jwith seven rebounds. The win was the seventh in a row for the Fighting
Illini against Michigan State.

February 17, 1990 at East Lansing
Illinois received a rude welcome for its first visit ever to the new Jack
Breslin Center on the MSU campus. The Fighting Illini were colder than
the weather — they shot an anemic 29.6% from the field in the first half,
and weren't much better after the break, ending up with their worst
percentage of the year (39.0%). Part of Illinois' difficulty was due to foul
trouble: Stephen Bardo and Marcus Libertv both missed about 16 minutes
of action due to the fact thev picked up two early fouls apiece. The
Spartans, though not shooting well either in the early part of the game,
jumped out to a 22-10 lead, with 7:17 to go before half time, and never
trailed in the game. They benefitted from the plav of huge freshman center
Mike Peplowski (6-10, 270, eight points, five rebounds), who had been
injured earlier in the season, and didn't play in the game at Illinois Jan. 18.

February 8, 1990 at Champaign
.: was sweet revenge for Illinois on this night in Champaign; the Golden
gophers had handed the Fighting Illini their first loss of the season in
Minneapolis a month earlier. Marcus Libertv was the ringleader of the
Uinois assault, collecting a career-high 33 points, as well as 10 rebounds.
.endall Gill also turned in a sterling performance, with 26 points and nine
oards. Minnesota was whistled with 30 fouls, compared to Illinois' 19; the
ighting Illini went 35-of-42 from the free throw line, while the Gophers
! it on 10-of-20. Despite being significantly outsized on the front line,
(.linois edged Minnesota, 44-43, in the rebounding department. A minute
ito the game, the Gophers (who launched 86 shots in the game) led, 3-2,
i ut Liberty's first basket of the night gave the Fighting Illini the lead, and
flenson's troops never looked back.

rebruary 14. 1990 at Champaign
Valentine's Day evening in Champaign was fit for neither man nor beast.
Vhile the ice storm that night cut off power from many area residents, the
'ighting Illini shut down any power the Wildcats had. Illinois had defeated
Northwestern 10 straight times in Champaign and 13 consecutive times
iverall, going into this one, which turned out never to be a contest after the
1-11 tie with 12:01 to go in the first half. Five Illinois players scored in
'louble figures, four had seven or more rebounds apiece, pacing UI's
lominance of the battle of the boards (36-23). In this game. Kendall Gill ran
lis streak of consecutive successful free throws to 27 (the fourth-longest
treak in the team's history) before missing.

ILLINOIS VS. PURDUE LAST SEASON
January 20, 1990 al West Lafayette
It was the fourth game in eight days for Illinois, and the Fighting Illini
found the going tough from the outset. The Boilermakers raced to a 17-7
lead, and never let the visitors get closer than seven points all night long.
Illinois dug a hole for itself early, shooting just 37.9% from the field in the
first half, and Kendall Gill was the only UI player to shoot any free throws
(he was three-of-five) in the game; Purdue went 27-of-38 from the line. Gill
went 10-of-14 from the field to lead all scorers with 23 points, and added a
team-high nine rebounds. Stephen Scheffler missed his first shot, but went
seven-of-eight from the field and six-of-six from the free throw line; he led
the Boilermakers with 20 points and nine rebounds.

February 21, 1990 at Champaign
Just as it was looking like Illinois might be heading toward a sub-. 500 Big
Ten record, the team came up with an extraordinarv effort, shocking the
then-first place Boilermakers, 90-78. The three Fighting Illini centers. Ervin
Small. Rodney Jones and Andy Kpedi held Purdue standout Stephen
Scheffler to just four baskets from the floor, while combining for 16 points
and 10 rebounds themselves. Kendall Gill, who played his second
complete game of the season, led Illinois with 21 points, while Marcus
Liberty added 20. Stephen Bardo scored 18, and Andy Kaufmann chipped
in with 13. The hot-shooting Boilermakers hit on 55.6% of their shots,
while the Fighting Illini made 52.7% of theirs. Surprisingly, UI
outrebounded PU, 34-21. Illinois' 16-0 run from 10:05 to 4:36 to go in the
first half took the score from 16-16 to 32-16, and shocked the visitors.
Twice Purdue narrowed the gap in the second half to seven points, but on
both occasions Illinois thwarted the comeback attempts.

ILLINOIS VS. WISCONSIN LAST SEASON
n
January 4, 1990 at Champaign
Number 4-ranked Illinois started off its 85th season of Big Ten basketball in
impressive fashion, shrugging off a 10-9 deficit early, and pushing out to a
il4-point halftime lead which ended up being the final margin. While
Marcus Liberty couldn't buy a basket (he was two-of-10), he more than
made up for it with 11 rebounds. Kendall Gill led the Fighting Illini with
'20 points on eight-of-eight shooting. The story of the day was not Illinois'
relatively easy victory, but that it came on the heels of an llth-hour NCAA
Ruling that permitted Gill and Stephen Bardo to play after having been
declared "technically ineligible" by the University the day before the game
.(for having inadvertently received preferential treatment in handling of
'paperwork for automobile loans.)

January 25, 1990 at Madison
Senior guard P.J, Bowman made his first start for Illinois in this game.
Except for a brief 6-4 deficit early, Illinois led the entire way until 2:26
remained in second half, when the Badgers, in the midst of a 14-2 run, took
a 59-58 lead. Down the stretch, free throws bv Stephen Bardo (two-of-two)
and Ervin Small (one-of-two) helped the Fighting Illini regain the lead, but
the outcome was truly in doubt until the final gun. Danny Jones was a force
for the Badgers, scoring 19 points and grabbing nine rebounds, wmile
Marcus Liberty hit for 21 and pulled down nine caroms. The win was the
22nd in the last 24 games for Illinois against Wisconsin.

Team Highlights
i Illinois' 1990 NCAA Tournament apppearance
was its eighth straight; its streak is the longest
current one in the Big Ten. It was also the 11th
straight year of post-season plav for the Fighting
Illini.
i Kendall Gill became the first Illinois player to win
the Big Ten scoring title since Andy Phillip in
1943.
i The Fighting Illini team free throw percentage of
.743 for the season is a school record. The previ-
ous record was .737, set in 1956.
'i Illinois shot under .500 (.477) from the field for
the first time in five years. The 1989-90 season
was the first since 1981-82 that the team did not
improve on its previous year's scoring average.
i Lou Henson ended the season with 316 career
I wins at Illinois, tying him with Harry Combes as
the school's all-time winningest men's basketball
1 coach.
i Kendall Gill scored more than 20 points in each
of his last 10 games. He also tied Northwestern's
Walker Lambiotte for the Big Ten leadership in
steals (1.94 per game).
i When Illinois received the fifth seed in the NCAA
Midwest Regional in March, it broke a streak of
six years during which the team was annually
among the top four seeds.
i Kendall Gill was selected #5 by the Charlotte
Hornets of the NBA in the opening round of the
league's draft. Gill's selection was the highest ever
for an Illinois basketball player. Stephen Bardo
and Marcus Liberty (a junior) were second-round
, picks by the Atlanta Hawks and the Denver
Nuggets, respectively.

Kenny Battle Award
The Kenny Battle Award honors the
former Fighting 111 ini forward who
was known for his tremendous
amount of effort exerted in games, as
well as practices. The award origi-
nated during practice as Head Coach
Lou Henson talked about the kind of
effort a player gave in practice and
during game time. Henson expressed
his wish for every player to come out
and give what Kenny Battle did. In
the words of Assistant Coach Mark
Coomes, "Kenny Battle exemplified
giving with everything he had all the
time — 100 percent effort."
The coaches felt no one could
come up to the effort Battle contrib-
uted, but encouraged everyone to try
to come close. The winner is chosen
by the players and the coaches.

MEDIA PROCEDURE FOR INTERVIEWS WITH
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS COACHES, ATHLETES
AND ADMINISTRATORS
To facilitate the schedules of Division of Inter-
collegiate Athletics' (DIA) coaches and administra-
117
N
O
I
s I
tors and to expedite media requests, the University
of Illinois Sports Information Office encourages
media personnel to arrange interview requests
through the Sports Information staff. Whenever
circumstances prevent media personnel the time or
opportunity to follow this procedure, DIA coaches
and administrators are encouraged to accomodate
media requests. Coaches and administrators have
the flexibility to establish and maintain relation-
ships with media that accomodate their respective
schedules. This interview procedure is designed to
enhance the availability of DIA staff members to
answer questions from the media at a time which
best facilitates each individual's schedule. Tele-
phone calls to the homes of DIA staff members from
the media may be made upon consent of the indi-
vidual coach or staff member.
Interview requests from the media for University
of Illinois student-athletes should be arranged
through the Sports Information Office. Media
personnel are asked not to call the student-athlete at
his residence.
In most situations, the most convenient opportu-
nity for media interviews is following the team
practice sessions. If this is not a convenient time for
the media, return telephone calls from the athletes
to the media will be arranged. The student-athletes'
academic endeavors are of the utmost importance,
and they will not be asked to miss classes for pur-
poses of a media interview. In most situations,
student-athletes are not available on the day of
scheduled intercollegiate competition until after the
event is completed.
For more information, call the Sports Informa-
tion Office at (217) 333-1390.
PARKING
No parking passes are issued at the Assembly Hall.
All parking is free and adjacent to the building.
Media personnel are encouraged to arive at least 45

lot (enter from Fourth Street), since the "Press and
Participants" entrance is located on that side of the
arena (see map).
PREGAME AND POSTGAME SERVICES
Play-by-play, halftime and complete final statistics,
quote sheets, and pregame and postgame notes are

tion will be distributed to media at their position in
the press box.

connectors. i
TELEPHONES
Telephone lines in the press box must be ordered at
least one week in advance of the game(s) for which
they are needed. The orders should be addressed to
Tony Mangano of Illinois Bell (312/727-5194, during
regular business hours). No telephone lines or
instruments are available through the UI Sports
