I am proud to brag about my favorite college basketball team, the NUMBER 1
FIGHTING ILLINI, who just happen to be playing in this week's Final Four in
St. Louis.  What does this have to do with libraries?  Well, our DIA
(athletic department) is selling ORANGE wristbands with the proceeds to go
to the University of Illinois Library Campaign.  Here is the info:


Illinois “LOYALTY” Wristbands
Show your Illinois loyalty with the official University of Illinois
“LOYALTY” wristband.
In the footsteps of the popular yellow “LIVE STRONG” wristbands championed
by Lance Armstrong, proceeds from sales of the bright orange Illinois
wristbands will be donated to the U of I Library Campaign.
“The Library’s partnership with DIA is the first to combine academics and
athletics, which will broaden the visibility of the Library Campaign and
serve as yet another source of Illini pride,” says Paula Kaufman, U of I
head librarian.
Illinois “LOYALTY” wristbands cost $2 each. They can be purchased in person
at the Main Library, Room 227, as well as Gameday Spirit Sports, Jimmy
John’s Gourmet Sub Shops, WDWS, the News-Gazette, and the U of I Athletic
Ticket Office.
They also are available at Illinois home athletic events or by phone
(minimum 100) at 866-Illini-1.
Go Illini

We often complain about how sports sometimes seem to overshadow academics in
our schools.  Here is one way it can help out.  I'm proud to be an Illini
alum (I liked it so well I graduated twice!! once in elementary education,
and once in library science), and I'm proud that I have two sons currently
attending college there.


GO ILLINI
