Its distin- guished faculty, outstanding resources, breadth of academic programs and research disci- plines, and large and diverse student body constitute an educational community ideally suited for scholarship 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 at- tracts more than $184 million a year in private, state, and federal grants and contract appropria- of Illinois Champaign tions. In recent years, a signifi- cant amount of this support has been directed toward the crea- tion and development of major centers for advanced research and study, including more than $100 million for the National Center for Supereomputing Ap- plications and the Center for Supereomputing Research and Development. Together, these two centers have established the University as a recognized world leader in the fields of supereom- puting architecture, design, and applications. In 1989. the University inaugurated the Arnold O. and Mabel M. Beck- man 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 27,000 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 Engineering, College of Fine and Applied Arts. College of Liberal The English Building, located on the UI Quadrangle The Ul Auditorium, viewed from the mini Union 2 Illinois Basketball 1989-90 Arts and Sciences, Institute of Aviation, and School of Social Work. About 30 percent of the cam- pus's graduates choose to continue their education in graduate or professional schools. Typically, 90 percent ofgradu ates who apply to law school are accepted: 78 percent are ac- cepted to medical school. Academic resources on the campus are among the finest in the world. The University ol Illinois Library at Urbana Champaign is the third largest academic collection in the nation, housing more than 1 1 million items in the main library and 38 departmental libraries. Only Harvard and Yale have larger collections. The Library's computerized cataloging system was the first in the world to serve as the primary access to a large academic library. Users can access the Library's collec- tions from more than 200 computer 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 22.000 instructional material files at 2.200 terminals each day. NovaNET. the University's newest full-service computer network, delivers computer- aided instruction via satellite. In recent years, the University 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 librar- ies for use in classroom instruc- tion, study, and research. Project EXCEL (Excellence in Computer-aided Education and Learning), an IBM-supported program initiated in 1984. encourages the development of Krannert Center for the Performing Arts curriculum software packages in undergraduate classrooms across the campus. Among the University's most significant resources is its talented 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. Eleven chief executives of Fortune 500 companies are alumni of the campus. 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 by 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 Lu- ciano 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 Chicago among Illinois public art museums: the World Heritage Museum; and the Museum of Natural History. Other major facilities include the Assembly Hall (16.000 cont'd 1989-90 Illinois Basketball 3 Pi seats). Memorial Stadium (69.200 seats), and the Intramu- ral-Physical Education Building, one of the largest recreational facilities of its kind on a univer- sity campus. Located in east -central Illinois in the two cities of Urbana and Champaign (population 100.000). the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the state of Illinois' flagship public university. ■ 1 y • »m umm^TW "*■ • Ml MM A ,11 |M{ ag 1,* i-^f* , «■ <** ami ■,'»*- «* «. -. » ^' *1 •«*•«■« ■ M M/J ■ HHP B.

The University of Illinois offers the best of both. Opportunity comes 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. ■ 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 31 times since the awards were instituted in 1984. Four members of the faculty have won the National Medal of Science. ■ The nation's largest public university library, with more than seven million volumes and more than 1 1 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 universities." Learning and participating are important outside, as well as in- 6 Illinois Basketball 1989-90 side, the classroom. And at the University of Illinois, the oppor tunities are as limitless in extracurricular arenas as they are in academic arenas. Hous- ing'? 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 interests. Sports and recreation? The Intramural- Physical Education Building is one of the largest complexes on any campus, with four gymnasi- ums. 23 handball/racquetball courts, weight and exercise equipment, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts and more. The U of 1 has one of the mosl comprehensive intramural sports programs in the nation. II the great outdoors is more to your liking, the university's 1.500-acre Allerton Park in- cludes sculpture gardens, for- mal gardens and natural wood- lands. Culture and entertain men!'.' The domed Assembly Hall scats more than 16.000 for rock concerts, ice shows, circuses. Broadway 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 — "Arguably the best performing arts facilities in the nation." according to the education editor of Time Magazine — 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, restaurants, movie theaters, night spots and many other big-city amenities. Yet, they retain a Midwestern college- town atmosphere. 1989-90 Illinois Basketball 7 The Assembly Hall There is just one facility that could host not only Fighting Illini Basketball, but also the Ice Capades, Whitney Houston, Huey Lewis and the News. Stevie Wonder. Broadway plays and Bill Cosby. That place is the Assembly Hall. One of the world's most 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 built between 1959 and 1963 at a cost of $8.35 million. The structure consists of two concrete bowls placed face to face; the 400-foot diameter of the dome makes it the largest of its kind in 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 basket- ball) an excellent, unobstructed view of the exciting action on the court. That capacity has been stretched to overflowing on 37 occasions; seven of those tightly- packed crowds viewed games just last season. The all-time attendance 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 25 seasons they have won 76% of the games they have played (260-81 record). In fact, in a recent two-year period, the Fighting Illini went on a streak of 31 wins there. In 1988-89. Illinois averaged over 12.000 fans per home game for the tenth consecutive season; 262.215 fans passed through the turnstiles (average of 15.424 per game), including the four millionth Fighting Illini basket- ball fan. Only in 1979-80 did the Fighting Illini plav before more home fans (271.375). In 1970- 7 1 . the Assembly Hall accom- modated an NCAA record-setting 177,408 spectators (since broken), when all 11 home games were sellouts. 8 Illinois Basketball 1989-90 Division of Intercollegiate Athletics 11 John Mackovic. Director of Athletics 12 Athletic Facilities 13 Head Coach Lou Henson 18 Illinois Basketball Coaching Staff 20 Support Staff 1989-90 Illinois Basketball 9 Division of Intercollegiate Athletics The forerunner of the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics (D1A), 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-Cham- paign campus. The Chancellor has final say regarding the athletic program in all areas except the budget and approval of major appointments. Those decisions rest with the Univer- sity of Illinois Board of Trustees. The Athletic Board serves the DIA in an advisory capacity. It is composed of 17 members, 14 of which are voting members (eight faculty, four alumni and two students): 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 re- ceipts from football and men's basketball, television rights fees for those two sports, and dona- tions to the Grants/In/Aid (athletic scholarship) program. Director of Athletics John Mackovic In less than two years, from when he first came to the Uni- versity of Illinois as head football coach, John Mackovic has: assembled one of the top football coaching staffs in the country; turned Illinois into a Big Ten Conference football contender, resulting in the school's first bowl game appearance (All American Bowl. Birmingham. Ala., last December) since 1985, and a 1989 preseason top-20 ranking; he was named Illinois' Director of Athletics, and has put together one of college athletics' outstanding manage- ment teams. Mackovic was named Illinois' football coach Feb. 3. 1988. and hit the ground running. With virtually no time to recruit players, he took over a team that was coming off back-to-back 4-7 and 3-7-1 seasons: his first Fighting Illini squad captured six wins and a tie in its last nine games of the regular season, and played Michigan for the Big Ten title before earning a berth in the All American Bowl. For leading this Illinois team out of the doldrums and into a championship-contending position, Mackovic was honored by both his Big Ten coaching peers (UPI) and by members of the media (AP) as the Big Ten Athletic Board James D. Anderson, Chair David L. Chicoine, Faculty Representative Mildred B. Griggs, Faculty Representative Ronald Bess Kenneth R. Boyle Diane F. Carothers William Choslovsky David J. Downey James A. Gentry Lowell R Hager John Mackovic Richard L. Margison Jane Hayes Rader Susan R. Roesch Stephen F. Ross Bryan K. Rowland Richard F. Wilson Coach of the Year. It marked the second time in conference history that a first-year coach had captured the prestigious Dave McClain Coach of the Year honor (the other was Earle Bruce of Ohio State in 1979). After demonstrating his leadership abilities on the football field. Chancellor Morton Weir and other University of Illinois administrators made a choice for the vacated Director of Athletics position by naming Mackovic to the dual role of A.D. /Football Coach Dec. 23. 1988. Mackovic attended Wake Forest, and was a starter at 10 Illinois Basketball 1989-90 John Mackovic quarterback in a backfield that included his close friend, the late Brian Piccolo. Following his graduation from Wake Forest in 1965. Mackovic accepted a graduate assistant position with fellow Barberton native Bo Schembechler at Miami of Ohio. After completing work on his master's degree in educational administration. Mackovic served one season as basketball coach at Fort Knox. Ky.. with the United States Army. Mackovic returned to coach- ing football in 1968 when he took over the Army's plebe team. During the next eight seasons, he spent time as an assistant at San Jose State. Army (once again), and Arizona. In 1977. he joined Purdue's staff as offensive coordinator where he was responsible for developing the skills ol All-American quarter- back Mark Herrmann. Alter eight seasons as an assistant coach. Mackovic earned his first head coaching spot at his alma mater. Wake Forest. In his second season with the Deacons, he led them to an 8-3 mark which produced the school's first appearance ever in the national rankings and a spot in the Tangerine Bowl, just the third bowl game participation by a Wake Forest team. Following the 1980 season at Wake Forest. Mackovic gave up his head coaching duties to become quarterback coach under Tom Landry in the Dallas Cowboys organization. Two successful years with the Cow- boys produced NFL playoff berths and saw Dannv White emerge as a Pro Bowl quarter- back. In 1983. at the age of 39. Mackovic was selected as the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. He quickly look a floun- dering offense that was among the NFL's worst and turned it into one of the league's mosl prolific attacks, finishing his first season with the third best passing attack in the league. Three rebuilding years paid dividends in 1986 as the Chiefs posted a 10 6 record and earned the team's first NFL playoff appearance in 15 years. In doing so. Mackovic became one ol the few coaches in the game today to lake losing teams in both colle- giate and professional football and turn them into winning organizations. While sitting out the 1987 season as ,i coach. Mackovic served as president of the Cypress Professional Develop- ment Group, a consulting and training organization targeted to middle and upper-level manage ment. He also founded and established his own company. Yes. Inc.. a service related organization directed to motiva- tional speaking with radio and television exposure. He currently serves as president of Yes. Inc. Mackovic also has been active in a number of civic and charity events, including serving as co- chairman of a Kansas City March of Dimes benefit dinner that generated more than $100,000 in proceeds to help lii ^rs?* Scott Nagy Scott Nagy returns for his second year with the Fighting Illini coaching staff as a gradu- ate assistant. Nagy is a graduate of Delta State University in Cleveland, Miss., where he not only lettered four times, but started every game, in each of those seasons. Along the way. he was named conference Fresh- man of the Year, Delta State Senior Athlete of the Year and conference Athlete of the Year. He also helped lead the States- men to the 1987 NCAA (Division II) Final Four in Springfield, Mass. He dished out 549 assists in his college career, including 234 in one season. Nagy spent several years during his youth in Abilene. Texas, but moved to Champaign (111.) and attended Centennial High School, where he played on the Chargers' 1984 IHSA "Elite 8" basketball team. He earned his bachelor's degree in Busi- ness Management at DSU and is currently enrolled in the Sports Management program at the University of Illinois. His duties with the basketball program include assisting with practice and academic monitor- ing of the Illinois student- athletes, and overseeing recruit- ing mailings and film exchanges. He is single and lives in Cham- paign. 1989-90 Illinois Basketball 19 Support Staff SECRETARIAL STAFF: Sandra Langley (standing) and Dorothy Damewood (seated).

Gone are for- wards Kenny Battle (16.6 ppg. 4.8 rpg), and Nick Anderson (18.0 ppg. 7.9 rpg), and center Lowell Hamilton (13.6 ppg. 5.7 rpg). That trio led Illinois in both points scored and rebounding. In all, they combined for 56 percent of Illinois' scoring and 49 percent of its rebounds last season. Battle and Anderson were both ail-Americans and Hamilton earned honorable mention all-Big Ten Conference. Smith had shown flashes of brilliant play during Illinois' Final Four run. Head Coach Lou Henson has a solid nucleus returning on which he can build. Led by seniors Stephen Bardo (8. 1 ppg. 4.0 rpg), and Kendall Gill (15.4 ppg, 2.9 rpg), Henson again fields a team that could wm 20 or more games and take its eighth consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament. In the eighties, 20-win sea- sons have become commonplace in Champaign. In that decade, the Fighting Illini have racked up 233 wins, for an average of better than 23 wins per season — all accomplished against some of the toughest collegiate competi- tion in America. Illinois again faces a schedule most schools would not envy. In addition to the always-tough Big Ten schedule beginning in January, the team plays at Florida and Mississippi, and at St. Louis against Missouri. Lou Henson's 15th Fighting Illini team takes on a slightly bigger look than last year's, but look for it to be nearly as quick. Henson has brought in seven new faces, at least three of whom figure to contribute immediately. Perhaps the biggest loss is the scoring and rebounding strength of Anderson, who chose to forego his final year of eligibility and enter the NBA draft. His loss and the loss of Battle and Hamilton is eased a bit by the addition of three new post players, two of whom have earned allAmerican status. Those three join 6-foot-7- inch senior Ervin Small (2.1 ppg, 2.1 rpg), and 6-foot-8-inch junior Marcus Liberty (8.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg) in providing Illinois depth at a position in which it was lacking last season. Liberty. USA Today's 1987 high school Player of the Year, could step forward and become one of the best small forwards in the country. He is an excellent ball handler and can play shooting guard; he made great strides defensively last season. Rodney Jones, a 6-foot-7-ineh post -man who began working out with the team last January after transferring from New Mexico Junior College, is a likely candidate for one of the front line positions. Jones, who averaged 24.5 points and 14.4 rebounds per game in his final season at NMJC, shot 60 per- cent from the field and led the Western Junior College Athletic 22 Illinois Basketball 1989-90 Conference with 93 blocked shots. He has the added advan- tage of having been in the system more than half of last season. Another junior college transfer, Andy Kpedi (pro nounced Peddy), a native of Warri. Nigeria, bolsters the Illinois front line. Kpedi. who attended Kankakee Community College, earned NJCAA second team all -America honors by averaging 16 points and nine rebounds per game last season. Deon Thomas is the third piece in the front line puzzle for the Fighting Illini this vear. Thomas, 1989 Mr. Basketball in the state of Illinois, is the third of the last four recipients of that award to play for Henson. The 6- foot-8-inch ail-American comes to Illinois from the same high school that produced Anderson. At Chicago Simeon. Thomas averaged 24 points. 12 rebounds and six blocked shots per game, numbers good enough to earn him second team mention on Basketball Times' high school Ail-American squad. Freshman Tom Michael (6- foot-8-inches) and 6-foot-6-inch sophomore Andy Kaufmann (4.3 ppg, 1.7 rpg) also provide depth in both the front and backcourts, respectively. Kaufmann. who played in 12 games last season prior to being sidelined for medical reasons, averaged nearly 30 points per game in high school and could see considerable action this season. The backcourt for Illinois in 1989-90 could be among the best in the country despite the loss of Larry Smith until the 1990-91 season due to academic reasons. Led by two seniors, this area is a key to the team's success this season. With a duo of Kendall Gill, and Stephen Bardo. Illinois possesses not only good quickness, but also excellent size. Bardo. who was named as the Big Ten's 1989 Defensive Player of the Year, is 6-foot-6-inches and has proven he can defend shooting guards and post-men effectively. Gill is a preseason ail-American at shooting miard. He shot 54 percent from the field 46 percent from three-point range last season. Senior P.J. Bowman (3.0 ppt*. 1.0 rpg) saw action in 29 games last season and provides the team with another legitimate three-point threat. Bowman is joined by freshmen Brooks Taylor and Tim Geers of Chi- cago's De La Salle High School and Bloomington High's Ken Gibson, all of whom received all- state honors. The 1989-90 version of the Fighting Illini basketball team appears to be a promising blend of young players and experi- enced veterans. This is a bigger team that looks to push the ball up the floor as much as ever. It could be the ninth consecutive Illinois team to increase its scoring average over the previ- ous season. Although the Fight- ing Illini are hard pressed to match the success of last year's squad, it shapes up to be an- other exciting and successful season of Illinois basketball. 1989-90 Illinois Basketball 23 Player Profiles 24 Illinois Basketball 1989-90 > numn t t«iw iWB Stephen Bardo 6-6. 197 Senior Carbondale, 111.

This was Illinois' seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, and sixth straight as one of the top sixteen seeds. The mini seven year streak in the NCAA Tournament is the longest of any Big Ten team. First stop on the Battle to Seattle: The Indiana Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis. Although the Fighting Illini football team played here in 1984, this is the first dome in which an Illinois basketball team has played. The Fighting Illini seemed to be at home in the dome as they defeated McNeese State and Ball State, on their way to the Metrodome and eventually the Kingdome. Lowell Hamilton's best performance of the tournament was a nineteen-point. five- rebound effort against Ball State. Illinois' second-round 72-60 win over the Cardinals sent the team to Minneapolis for regional competition the following weekend. 74 Illinois Basketball 1989-90 ...A Look. Back. Next step on the tournament trail was Minneapolis, where the Fighting Illini disposed of some more Cardinals, this time, the Louisville variety. Here point guard Stephen Bardo drives left of the lane, as Marcus Liberty positions himself for the entry pass. Liberty played one of his finest games of the season, contributing 14 points and eight rebounds in an expanded role (due to Lowell Hamilton's early-game injury). Mick Anderson turned in probably his most impressive performance of his career at Illinois in the 89-86 regional final victory over Syracuse. Anderson's 24 points and 16 rebounds helped the Fighting Illini to their first trip to the Final Four since 1952. Afterward, Anderson, decorated with a net from the Metrodome. reflected on Illinois' stunning performances in the Battle to Seattle. An emotional Fighting Illini basketball team celebrates its hard fought win over Syracuse and their berth in the NCAA Final Four. 1989-90 Illinois Basketball 75 This was not just another Big Ten game. Here, Illinois and Michigan tipped off their clash at the 51st NCAA Final Four in Seattle. It was the third time in the last 14 years that two Big Ten teams had met in the Final Four. Kendall GUI drives for a reverse layup against Michigan in the national semifinal game at Seattle. Illinois defeated the Wolverines 89-73 and 96-84 during the regular season, but were edged out. 83-81. in their bid to compete for the national championshp. Gill is projected as an all-American candidate for the 1989-90 season. Kenny Battle's infectious smile seems to punctuate the 1988-89 Illinois basketball season, one that Fighting Illini faithful won't forget. Battle is a rookie with the NBA Phoenix Suns. 76 Illinois Basketball 1989-90 Illinois Basketball...

Since 1926, the Chief has been a fixture at football and basket- ball games. Whether leading the band onto the field at Memorial Stadium or exploding from the tunnel of Assembly Hall, the Chief is sure to put on a performance not soon forgotten. Chief Illiniwek was created when assistant Band Director Ray Dvorak conceived the idea of perform- ing an Indian war dance at halftime of the Penn- sylvania/Illinois game in Philadelphia. Lester Leut- wiler, a student interested in Indian lore, was chosen to perform the first dance. Wearing a homemade Indian costume, Leutwiler's perform- ance was so well received that he was asked to continue his dance throughout the 1926 season. He remained Chief for the following two seasons, and in 1929 the late Webber Borchers became the second chief. Borchers believes the name Chief Illiniwek (111- LYE-nye-wek) was suggested by Illinois football coach Robert Zuppke. It was Borchers who first appeared as Chief in an authentic Indian costume. He initiated a campaign to raise money to replace his homemade costume with an authentic one. but due to the Depression, he received just $15. A Champaign merchant stepped in to fund the rest and Borchers was off to South Dakota and the Chief Illiniwek Through the Years... 1. Lester G. Leutwiler, Urbana 1926-28 2. A. Webber Borchers.

He and an Indian trader called in an older Sioux Indian woman. She and two younger women made the suit." Borchers' initial plans were to bring the suit back in time for the first game, but it would not be ready in time. The seventh game of the season. Army vs. Illinois in New York's Yankee Stadium. Borchers made the first appear- ance as Chief Illiniwek in authentic costume. The date was Nov. 8, 1930. Since that date, five different authentic cos- tumes have been used by Chief Illiniwek; the most recent being purchased in 1983 from 93-year old Indian Chief Frank Fools Crow. The elaborately- beaded costume includes moccasins, blanket, peace pipe, pouch, breastplate and a war bonnet with 90 eagle feathers. Included on the bonnet are the names of every chief of the past (including Princess Illiniwek ldelle Stitch, who assumed the postion in 1943. during World War II). The dance itself is an actual series of Indian steps with each person adding their own individual touch. The current chief is Tom Livingston, a senior from La- Grange, 111. 78 Illinois Basketball 1989-90 Illinois Basketball Year-by-Year Season Big ren Big Ten Year Coach W L W L Finish 1906 Elwood Brown (. s 2 6 fifth (Tl 1907 F.L, Pin< kney 1 in II s fifth 1908 Fletcher Lane :'n 6 1 1 third 1909 Herb V.
