Petition alleges violation of Ill. Open Meetings Act BY MEGAN JONES

Relevant Illinois Student Senate Constitution excerpts

STAFF WRITER

After a year-long debate regarding the applicability of the Illinois Open Meetings Act to the Illinois Student Senate, Treasurer Kevin Seymour has filed a judiciary petition to the senate’s judiciary branch following an alleged Illinois Open Meetings Act constitutional violation at the senate’s Wednesday, Feb. 5 meeting. “The senate does not follow Open Meetings Act well,” said Seymour, a graduate student. “I think a lot of senators are actually confused about what they should be doing.” The Illinois Student Senate is not technically a public body, so it is not required to follow the Illinois Open Meetings Act; however, within its constitution, student senators bind themselves to it, said senator Calvin Lear, graduate student. Seymour hopes the petition will clarify whether the senate is required to follow the Open Meetings Act, as many questions surrounding the issue have risen in the past, such as the constitutionality of a closed Facebook group, of which several senators were members. “This isn’t the first time we’ve had issues with the Open Meetings Act. We’ve also had other issues with appointments, and this isn’t the last time this is going to happen,” Seymour said. “Since nobody before has really challenged any of the past events with the judiciary itself, I think it’s time that the judiciary actually stepped in and set things straight.” The senate passed a resolu-

According to the Illinois Open Meetings Act, agendas shall be distributed at least 48 hours prior to a meeting.

Carol Leff, associate professor of political science, addresses the audience at a roundtable discussion focused around the events that have happen in Ukraine.

Section 1. The Judiciary A. Upon written request of any member of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign student body, the President shall nominate an outside, independent student organization to serve as the Judiciary, with consent of that organization. 1. A College of Law Moot Court Bench shall be the first organization nominated and does not require approval of the Assembly. 2. The nomination of any organization other than a College of Law Moot Court Bench requires a twothirds (2/3) affirmative vote of the Assembly. 3. No member of the Illinois Student Senate may serve on the Judiciary, regardless of membership in the organization appointed as the Judiciary.

Violence in Kiev touches home President meets peaceful protestors with force BY STEFFIE DRUCKER STAFF WRITER

The events of the Euromaidan, the wave of protests that have erupted in Ukraine’s capital city of Kiev, have developed unexpectedly for Ukranians. Protestors took to Maidan Nezalezhnosti, the city’s main square, to rally against the president’s sudden decision not to sign a trade agreement with the European Union, and Ukraine’s government responded unexpectedly with violence, cracking down on those who gathered in the square by firing rubber bullets. “This new kind of radical eruption was a surprise for a lot of people,” said Ukraine-native

In November 2004, Ukrainians descended on Maidan Nezalezhnosti in response to the results of the country’s presidential elections, which was allegedly corrupted by voter intimidation and direct election

Professor Don Wuebbles educates an audience beyond University students. A leader in the atmospheric science community, Wuebbles travels the country teaching the public and Congress about climate change. “I try to make (people) understand that this is very important to them and that they should be concerned about the effects on their own lives,” Wuebbles said. “But they should also be particularly concerned about the effects on their children and their grandchildren, because it’s only going to get much worse.” Wuebbles spoke to attendees of the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Chicago about research challenges in climate change on Saturday. Wuebbles organized the session and planned on bringing six speakers. Because of the snowstorm on the East Coast, some of his speakers were unable to attend. “The assessment provides the basis for looking at where we’re at in science of climate change, and where are we going ... where should we be by time want to do another assessment?” he said, referring to the Fifth Assessment Report of climate change in which he was a Coordinating Lead Author. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change commissioned the assessment. They recently released The Working Group I Assessment Report 5. Wuebbles spoke to an audi-

ence of about 100 members of the science community and press about the results of that assessment, but he focused on the results of the U.S. National Climate Change Assessment. The results show the global temperature is warming, and scientists think occurrences of severe weather such as floods and droughts are likely to increase due to climate change. When people ask Wuebbles if he believes in climate change, he responds that he doesn’t believe in climate change, but rather he knows the climate is changing. “There is no debate. Our assessments are peer reviewed documents,” Wuebbles said. “Over 97 percent of articles and peer reviewed assessments all agree this is a major issue. The few that don’t say that are proven to be incorrect very quickly.” Wuebbles is a Fellow of the AAAS, as well as a variety of other organizations, including the American Meteorological Society. The American Meteorological Society recently awarded Wuebbles with the Cleveland Abbe Award for Distinguished Service to Atmospheric Science for his “tireless and highly effective contributions to society through rigorous scientific analysis and distinguished public engagement.” “That means your peers have selected you for your knowledge and accomplishments. It’s really a special thing,” Wuebbles said.

CONSTITUTION tion two months ago requiring all senators to complete Open Meetings Act training, but Seymour believes only three or four senators have actually completed the training and submitted their certificates. Seymour said he plans to resign from the senate Monday “partially due to this incident and partially not.” When a senator faces a problem within the body, the student body president must nominate an unaffiliated body to handle the proceedings. The senate is only required to submit petitions to the College of Law’s Moot Court Board of Editors, which has not yet met to decide whether they will accept the case, said Dean Virginia Vermillion, assistant dean for academic administration and dean of students. The Moot Court comprises several law students who typically accept rulings from lower courts and debate the constitutionality of their rulings. “Making sure that we are open and transparent with our dealings is really important,” Seymour said. “We don’t want to erode the trust our public has with our institution, and it seems like these days they aren’t too happy with us.” Student Body President Damani Bolden said he could not speak on the matter due to pending judiciary action. “Please know that my executive team, my staff and the senate is committed to following and enforcing our governing documents and will continue to be leaders on campus in transparency and ethical behavior,” Bolden said in a statement. At last Wednesday’s Illinois Student Senate meeting, Vice President-External Carey Ash introduced an executive order to add presidential appointments to several standing committees. All executive members, except Seymour, agreed to sign it beforehand, Seymour said. Lear believes that while the senate should have the final say, committee chairmen should also be consulted regarding appointments because “if something goes wrong in committee, it is the chairman’s fault.” Ash and Seymour debated whether the item should be added to the agenda, as Seymour stated the senate cannot add items for action, which includes executive orders, without having adding it to the agenda 48 hours in advance. Christopher Boidy, parliamentarian, questioned whether the senate was bound to the Open Meetings Act and said it’s a question worth considering.

WUEBBLES Wuebbles is a leader in the atmospheric science community and has written over 400 scientific articles and has won a variety of awards for his work. As a member of the IPCC, he shares the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with members of the panel and Al Gore. Wuebbles’ certificate is displayed in his office. Atmospheric science professor Eric Snodgrass agrees that Wuebbles, who began teaching at the University in 1994, is tireless in his work. Regardless of his accomplishments, however, Wuebbles remains grounded. “We have two entirely different ways in which we reach the world about the stuff that we do,” Snodgrass said. “While his interactions often deal with Congress and the President and big groups of people the world would call important, my interactions are with students, who I call important. And he sees us as equals, which is one of the things I really like about him.” One of Wuebbles’ public engagements is traveling to Washington D.C. to brief Congress on

“It was an executive order for appointments and not a ground, earth-shattering thing,” Lear said. “But tomorrow it could be an executive order to remove a senator or allocate funds, which is clearly illegal, but someone might not be at the meeting to object if they don’t know it’s coming up.” Lear believes the binding principles of the Open Meetings Act exist to protect members of the public in addition to members of the senate because “everybody has a right to know what the senate is going to talk about at a meeting.” They voted 14-11 with eight abstentions to add the item to the agenda; however, senators then began debating whether a majority or two-thirds vote was needed. Boidy said a majority vote was needed, and the senate moved on despite Seymour and Lear’s warnings. “According to (Robert’s) Rules of Order, a two-thirds vote is needed, but you also have to remember, it’s only two-thirds if you could even do it in the first place,” Seymour said. Seymour added that the senate should also follow Open Meetings Act provisions, such as posting an agenda and holding time for public comment, at their committee meetings as well, which is not usually the case. Lear said the senate could do a better job at posting their agenda in different public places, such as a copy outside the Pine Lounge and on bulletin boards in the Illini Union as well. At the Wednesday, Feb. 12 meeting, Boidy apologized for his mistake and ruled that adding the executive order to the agenda was wrong and violated their constitution. The senate rescinded the executive order and the item will return to the agenda at a future meeting. “If it wasn’t for our parliamentarian, we wouldn’t have done that,” Seymour said. “Now that the parliamentarian said something and I filed a judiciary petition, they realize that maybe they did something wrong. Trust me, I would submit a million other judiciary requests if it was worth my time because we do so many things that just aren’t by our constitution.” Lear worries that the Moot Court will find the rescindment enough and not accept the case, but clarification should be made regarding whether the senate actually violated its constitution. The Moot Court will meet this week to determine whether it will accept the case. If not, a different organization will be appointed.

Although Wuebbles travels across the country giving talks about climate change, he still finds time to work with his doctoral candidates. “He’s always very responsive and will call you if you need to have a meeting or need help with anything,” Janssen said. Wuebbles is in his mid-60s, but he has no plans to retire yet because he is “having too much fun to retire.” “The reason I’m here in the first place, doing what I do, is because God gave me the talent to do what I do — studying science,” Wuebbles said. “And I want to think back to how can I apply that talent to understanding how we are affecting the world around us and how is it impacting humanity.”

Kerry urges Indonesia to fight climate change BY PAUL RICHTER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Secretary of State John F. Kerry on Sunday called on Indonesians to mobilize against climate change as part of a broader effort to enlist help from developing nations that have resisted pressure to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Speaking to a young audience at an urban shopping mall, Kerry made an impassioned argument that the archipelago’s economy and physical survival is threatened as temperatures and water levels rise. He urged ordinary Indonesians to apply political pressure on leaders who, by overwhelming margins, still doubt the threat will affect their interests. Calling climate change “the greatest threat the planet has ever seen,” Kerry warned that climate change will raise sea levels by 1 meter (3.28 feet) by the end of the century, enough to put half of Jakarta underwater. Climate change also threatens fish species that account for 40 percent of the sales of Indonesian fisheries, he said, in a speech

webcast throughout the country and abroad. Kerry argued that Indonesia’s economy would be hurt more by doing nothing than by accepting the costs of cutting emissions and shifting to cleaner energy. He said storms produced by climate change were “perhaps even the world’s most fearsome WMD,” or weapon of mass destruction. Developing countries have argued that the problem is largely the responsibility of wealthier countries that use more energy, adding that they need to focus instead on stepping up their economies to lift their populations from poverty. Kerry, who believes the developing world’s resistance has become a major obstacle to progress on the issue, made a similar address in June in India. He has also been pushing China, now the No. 1 producer of greenhouse gases, to step up its efforts, a development officials hope could motivate other developing nations. Kerry visited Indonesia as part of a week-long visit to Asia that has also included stops in Beijing and Seoul.

George Zimmerman leaves court with his family after Zimmerman's not guilty verdict was read in Seminole Circuit Court in Sanford, Fla. on July 13. Jurors found Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla.

Zimmerman homeless, jobless almost 2 years after acquittal BY PARESH DAVE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

George Zimmerman, the 30-year-old Floridian acquitted last year of murdering Trayvon Martin, says he’s homeless, jobless and struggling with posttraumatic stress disorder. Zimmerman made these comments in an interview with Spanish-language television network Univision that’s scheduled to air at 7 p.m. Sunday, a week and a half before the second anniversary of the shooting. An English-language translation of the interview was released Saturday. Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch volunteer who encountered the unarmed 17-year-old at a gated commu-

nity in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman said he suspected that Martin might have been the burglar responsible for a string of break-ins. Amid a confrontation, Zimmerman shot the teenager, later saying he did so in self-defense. “In my mind and between God and me, I know that if I didn’t act, act the way I did, I wouldn’t be here,” he says in the Univision interview. “I mean, he wasn’t playing around,” Zimmerman says at another point. Other notable moments in Zimmerman’s interview, seven months after the trial: He says he never realized that Martin was unarmed, but that Martin was clearly trying

to grab the gun from him. He initially thought that his bullet had missed Martin and potentially struck a neighbor’s house. He has a debt of $2.5 million owed to his lawyers, Mark O’Mara and Don West. He has raised more than $300,000 from online donors and said he hopes to collect additional funds through a lawsuit he’s filed against NBC News over an edited 911 call, which he alleges made him look racist because a question and answer were mixed. He says he hasn’t collected welfare and will work as a cook if he has to. He’s living off his family for now. He wears a bulletproof vest

all the time. He has to watch where he goes, including the doctor’s office, because any business or person he associates with starts getting death threats. He says he wants to resume studying to become a lawyer, so that no one else has to suffer an injustice comparable to his. Zimmerman ends by saying he expects the case to chase him forever. He describes himself as “a good brother, a good son, a good grandson, a good friend” trying to live a positive life and said that he would like everyone to give “the benefit of the doubt like I do, and want to forgive, want to go on with their own lives.”

Dog population runs wild at 2014 Winter Olympics BY ELLIOTT ALMOND MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

SOCHI, Russia—It’s a dogs’ day afternoon in Sochi. Packs of mutts roam the downtown streets of the city center and the Adler district. Scores of them have shown up in the new mountain villages the Russian government has built for the 2014 Winter Olympics. The Sochi Games have drawn scrutiny over security, weather, gay rights and even funny-looking toilets. But perhaps the most unexpected story surfacing here this month is the pooch problem. While free-roaming dogs is a global issue, it has been spotlighted in Sochi because of reports that Olympic organizers hired contractors to exterminate at least 2,000 animals. That grim news helped fuel interest in protecting the animals, who hang around populated areas begging for food. Most of the canines are friendly instead of the teethbaring ferals that often run in packs—which explains why a

UKRAINE fraud. Ukraine’s Supreme Court nullified the results of the first runoff in December 2004, and a second, fair election was held. “The revolution was uniting the nation, but the events following didn’t do much for the people,” said Samiylo Habrel, freshman in the Engineering and another Ukrainian who experienced the Orange Revolution. Protestors settled on Maidan Nezalezhnosti again last fall, almost exactly nine years after the start of the Orange Revolution. The president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, had been working for several years on an association agreement with the European Union. This agreement is a political and free trade agreement that could ultimately lead to Ukraine becoming a member of the EU. However, Yanukovych suddenly decided not to sign it in November 2013, causing protestors to take to the Maidan Nezalezhnosti. Carol Leff, an associate professor of political science at the University, explained that the president

number of visiting athletes are among those trying to help. “It makes me sad seeing dogs on the streets,” said Brita Sigourney, a Carmel, Calif., athlete who will compete Thursday in the new extreme sport of ski halfpipe. Sigourney, 24, found two adolescent dogs near the athletes village in the Caucasus Mountains, and well, it was love at first sight. She returned to the spot a few days later to check on her new friends. Sigourney found one of the dogs. “The workers around said the other disappeared,” she lamented. Sigourney will be out to win a medal in the one-day event at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park this week. But she’d like to pack another memento from the Sochi Games. “I wish I could bring this puppy home,” Sigourney said. Many share those sentiments. Silver medalist freeskier Gus Kenworthy plans to take five dogs home that he picked up on the claims that he didn’t sign the deal “to ensure the national security of Ukraine ... and its trade relations with Russia,” as Russia is an important energy resource and partner for Ukraine. Leff was one of the three panelists in a roundtable discussion of Ukraine’s current events and political protests Friday at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science. Wallo, another panelist on the roundtable, also commented on Yanukovych’s sudden change of course. “Since he was preparing for the association for such a long time, the suddenness of this was what really angered people,” Wallo said. “They felt like they were manipulated.” The bad blood between the president and his people became even more volatile when he attempted to disperse protestors on the Maidan Nezalezhnosti using violence. “The most appropriate action would be replacement of most of the government and maybe new elections,” Habrel said. “The current president does not look out for the people, and he has his own beliefs. The current president is

Sochi has highlighted numerous problems including dog overpopulation. streets of Rosa Khutor, close to the Olympic mountain venues. “I’ve been around animals all my life,” said Kenworthy, of Telluride, Colo. “It’s hard to watch.” Amanda Bird, U.S. bobsled and skeleton press officer, also plans to bring home a pooch. Those bringing back dogs are required to get two pieces of paper to do so: an international health certificate and proff of rabies vaccination. Her husband already has picked out a name: Sochi. Kelly O’Meara, the Humane Society International director for companion animals and engagement, said most dogs in Russia end up homeless because of

abandonment. “Dogs are brought into homes as puppies, but then abandoned once they become adults,” he said. The street dog population generally increases with human expansion because of a readymade food supply. In the past seven years, Sochi has experienced exponential growth for a seaside city of 400,000. Thousands of workers descended on the once-quaint town, and brought dogs with them to guard the construction sites. But they departed without taking the dogs with them, according to local activists.

trying to oppress the people.” Use of force is one of the main differences between the Euromaidan and the Orange Revolution, which remained completely nonviolent during its duration. It has been a mobilizer for many to flock to the Maidan Nezalezhnosti and for other world leaders to stand with the protestors. According to a December study done by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology, 70 percent of people surveyed on the Maidan Nezalezhnosti said they weren’t there because of the EU deal, but because the government chose to engage in violent crackdowns. “The United States expresses its disgust with the decision of Ukrainian authorities to meet the peaceful protest in Kiev’s Maidan Square with riot police, bulldozers, and batons, rather than with respect for democratic rights and human dignity,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement in early December. “This response is neither acceptable nor does it befit a democracy.” Wallo described the difficulty of watching the protests unfold from afar. “Watching how the riot police

were trying to storm the Maidan one night, I knew I was afraid for who was there and sort of felt helpless since I couldn’t help them in any way from here,” Wallo said. In contrast, she said her father and brother, who experienced some of the violence, said they felt tense when violence would erupt but supported by those around them and strengthened by the importance of their mission. “Even though physically it’s difficult, emotionally it’s inspiring because you see so many people fighting together for a common goal,” she said, adding that the feeling was similar to that which she felt during the Orange Revolution. Wallo also said her friends and family live in a strange mode now where they work during the day but spend much of their time following what’s happening on Maidan Nezalezhnosti by watching the news and following the Euromaidan’s Twitter account. “It’s almost this surreal space — no one knows what’s going to happen,” she said.

Be thankful, not bitter, toward winter weather cleanup efforts on campus

T

his winter has been among the snowiest ever for much of the Central Illinois region — although we feel like we hear that every year. The snow has hit the campus area hard and created a variety of safety and transit problems persisting for weeks. Many individuals, even the most cautious folk, have slipped and fallen on some form of ice this winter. And, in many situations, individuals with mobility issues have found their way to class, their dorm and their extracurricular activities virtually inaccessible. We’re sick of slipping on the ice, snow, slush and so on that has accumulated due to the lackluster snow-clearing efforts of a variety of landlords, Greek houses and other private businesses on campus. Frankly, we think a lot of these organizations deserve to be held responsible for their failure to do so, and others deserve to be praised. Per the City of Champaign, “Property owners within the City’s University District and Downtown Business District are required to remove snow from sidewalks after at least two (2) inches of accumulation and also after accumulations of ice, sleet, or freezing rain.� Clearing is required within 48 hours of a declaration by the City’s Public Works Director. You can do your part by filing a nuisance complaint against a noncompliant business or privately-owned property with Champaign on the City of Champaign’s neighborhood services department page. Urbana has similar requirements, but requires clearing of a snow and ice nuisance within 24 hours of a declaration by their Public Works Director. Complaints can be lodged by calling the Urbana Environmental Compliance Officer at 217-3842416. That said, several entities, including the University, the Champaign Police Department and the Champaign-Urbana MTD deserve our thanks for doing a great job of ensuring our safety so far this winter. The University, especially the individuals working in Facilities and Services, has stayed on top of the weather and getting its paths cleared within a reasonable amount of time. University officials also have been prompt about sending out emails to the keep the campus community abreast of snow clearing efforts and upcoming inclement conditions. As reported in The Daily Illini last week, members of the Champaign Police Department also got in on the act by personally salting sidewalks (in response to vast amounts of evening-venturing slips and falls) while the Champaign Public Works Department was consumed with street clearing activity. We also would like to tip our hats to MTD for meeting our transit needs in admirable fashion in spite of the weather. Just like the University, MTD has made a diligent effort to keep their property, such as their bus stops, clear of snow and ice. Additionally, many of us have still been able to get to work, class, the gym and beyond thanks to the great efforts of MTD bus drivers who have had to put up with really rotten driving conditions this entire semester. Be sure to thank your driver at the end of your next trip. We students are sometimes so focused on what we don’t have — such as wholly cleared streets and sidewalks immediately following inclement weather — that we often disregard what we do have — such as a police department that is willing to go out of its way to make paths around campus more accessible, despite snow and ice clean ups not falling specifically into its jurisdiction; bus drivers that transported mass amounts of students to and from their designations, all while continuously getting stuck in the snow and having to reroute; a University that keeps its students updated on threatening weather conditions and the status of University operations. So, thank you, University of Illinois, for doing your best when conditions were far from ideal.

Academic integrity reflects our personal, moral values SEHAR SIDDIQUI Opinions columnist

S

ince the 2006-07 academic year, there have been over 1,600 violations of academic integrity at the University. I never thought it was that prevalent of a problem until I noticed how often my professors felt the need, in the beginning of a semester, to give us warnings about cheating despite including information about it in their syllabi. Last year I took STAT 100, and the first day we received a talk about academic dishonesty. The professor said she had to videotape every exam because of instances of cheating in previous semesters. She gave us the incentive of extra credit on the final exam if nobody cheated, but also mentioned that over all the years she had taught, she was never able to give out that extra credit. Obviously cheating has become a larger issue than it should be if a professor is going to the extent of rewarding students for practicing academic honesty — something all students should naturally uphold anyway. Even with the threat of being watched and offering extra credit as incentive, my class didn’t receive that extra credit on the final exam. I was shocked because I don’t think cheating on any exam is ever worth it, but especially because I didn’t realize college students were so willing to put their reputation or academic career at risk for one exam. Despite warning her students each semes-

ter, our professor always had at least one student who cheated. This shows that in some cases the motivation to get a good grade is stronger than the desire to actually learn something. The International Center for Academic Integrity reports that “grades, rather than education, have become the major focus of many students.� Like many things in our society, for some, education is becoming more about instant gratification than hard work. This could be attributed to the fact that it is simple for a student to get an A in a class without actually learning anything or trying too hard. It makes sense if these students who are used to minimum work for achievement are more prone to cheat when they are thrown into an environment where they must work harder to get an A. And when many of these classes follow a model requiring only memorization and occasional participation as a means for success, then they are more prone to cheat to get ahead. Rote memorization, for example, measures an individual’s ability to regurgitate information and facts rather than an actual application of what has been learned. Memorization can be achieved much more quickly than application of concepts which could be why sometimes most of the academic violation cases are concentrated in programs known for difficulty in application — such as in the engineering department. Even participation points that encourage students to attend class are usually just points for being there and there are no violations for getting the wrong answer. I have taken many classes where memorization and simple participation was good enough to

receive an A in the class. Some students’ actions are driven purely by labels, such as whether they receive an A, while others care more about the means to the ends, such as how much work they put into the grades they receive and how honest they are about their efforts and consequent grades. Students who are only concerned with a letter grade would be more likely to cheat because there is more riding on their result rather than their experience. Cheating allows this kind of student to bypass many other steps and speed up the process of achieving a good grade. And if the student can get away with it, there isn’t much else motivation to learn. Despite the fact that many professors address academic dishonesty on paper and in person, warn students of being recorded and offer incentives to remain honest, students will cheat. Although a solution could be as simple as requiring all students to take a course on academic integrity, the type of student who blatantly cheats on an exam probably has different educational and moral values that cannot be altered by a course. Such a class could help alleviate cases of accidental incidences of plagiarism, however, outright cheating during an exam is obviously a reflection of an individual’s morals in a stressful situation. The action of cheating can only be changed through the independent actions of the individual and cannot simply be taught.

Give back as a way to show gratitude MATT PASQUINI Opinions columnist

In

high school, community service was always something I took to heart. While I wasn’t a regular volunteer at the local soup kitchen or at our local miracle field, I would occasionally participate in service projects through my youth group and even took the initiative to organize my own project with other students from my high school band. Participating in community service always brought me strong intrinsic rewards. The satisfaction of knowing that I helped someone while opening myself up to new experiences is unparalleled, and a feeling I hope everyone can experience at some point in their lives. But even more, I’ve always felt a responsibility to participate in community service. Back at home, my high school marching band was largely supported by the fundraising of band members. The money we raised allowed us to compete in state and regional competitions and even participate in the Bands of America Grand National Championships. In essence, doing community service was a way of saying thanks to the people who have done so much to support us. The financial support of former band parents, supporters of the fine arts and people who were in the giving mood is the reason our marching band was able to take advantage of these once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Here at the University, we’re surrounded by a community similar to the one I have back at home. While it’s true that there’s a price tag on the college experience, the tuition and fees we pay aren’t enough to support all of the functions that allow the University to create experiences for personal development and growth. On June 1, 2007, the University of Illinois Foundation launched the Brilliant Futures Campaign which was designed to, “secure the reputation of the University of Illinois as the nation’s top public university and as a leader in private fundraising.� It was the largest campaign ever launched with a goal of raising $2.25 billion and it proved fruitful seeing as they surpassed that goal and raised $2.43 billion. That’s almost a $180 million difference. This money was meant to support all three University of Illinois institutions — at Champaign-Urbana, Chicago and Springfield — and our campus was fortunate enough to receive the largest portion of the money raised. More specifically, the money that was collected is being used to further research opportunities for students and faculty, expand opportunities for more students through additional scholarships and fellowships, and enhance the student life by providing more academic programs and cultural opportunities. The breakdown shows that our University’s alumni were the biggest donors. Testimonies from the Giving at Illinois page identify multiple reasons as to why alumni were so eager to give back to the community, ranging from gratitude for the given opportunities to honoring current and former faculty

members. One donor, Melissa Casey, who graduated from the College of Business in 1989, said she gave, “In memory of Professor Dick Hill, whose impact on my career and life was immeasurable.� Another donor, Joyce Hodel, who graduated from the College of Media in 1981 said, “I think it’s important to continue supporting my alma mater. I want to see it maintain its excellent reputation — as an alum (a proud one!), I think I continue to benefit from that.� At one point these alumni were students as well. The donations many of them made are a strong representation of this give and take mentality, where they gave back to the University that enabled them to be in the positions they are in today. I encourage the student body to recognize the opportunities we are provided with on campus and engage and give back to the community. This is all possible by participating in events such as iHelp, which is a day of service organized by the Student Alumni Ambassadors, or utilizing the Office of Volunteer Programs which connects students with volunteer opportunities throughout the community. What we do here as students wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for the all the support we receive from the campus, Champaign-Urbana community and many others. In the rush and stress of the student life, it’s important to step back and simply give back to show thanks for the opportunities that surround us.

“Endless Love� fails to overcome mediocrity ELIZABETH DYE Opinions columnist

BY ELIZABETH DYE STAFF WRITER

S

hots of two insanely attractive teenagers wrapped around each other’s bodies with their tongues navigating each other’s mouths; slow motion scenes of them running around scantily clad in water-soaked swimsuits; a glimpse of the pair holding hands while jumping off a pier into a lake; and a shot of them sharing a bubble bath together against a backdrop of dim light cascading from a bathroom window. These are the scenes that indicate that the two main characters in the film share an “endless love,� like the title so suggests. But, from the sky blue graduation gowns worn in the opening scene, to the alarming and distracting older appearances of the actors playing high school-aged teens, the film “Endless Love� lacked believability, with the above scenes making the film feeling less like a romance movie, and more like a lengthy advertisement for a sensual perfume campaign. “Endless Love,� an adaptation of Scott Spencer’s 1979 novel of the same name and remake of Franco Zeffirelli’s 1981 film, was released this Valentine’s Day, tagged as two young lovers who “say goodbye to innocence.� The lovers in question are Jade Butterfield (played by Gabriella Wilde), a rich girl who spent her whole high

school career sheltered at home with her parents after the loss of her brother, and David Elliot (played by Alex Pettyfer), a mechanic’s son who has had eyes for Butterfield since the 10th grade. The two have just graduated high school, and after a few conversations, much to the chagrin of her overbearing, protective father, the pair becomes instantly inseparable. Apart from their obvious physical attraction, little else explains why the duo shares such intense passions for each other. The most David really had to say about Jade was, “I think she’s amazing.� This generic line seemed to prove how little he really knew about her, considering the two spent more time kissing in scenes than they ever did discussing their lives, making the connection past their physical one hard to understand or believe. The director of the film, Shana Feste, must have thought the best way to translate the love of a 17 year old on the screen is to show her dancing or running around, considering the amount of scenes included in which Jade spends flailing her gangly limbs. What makes the arm flailing worse is Wilde’s acting while doing so. Wilde very much appears to be an older actor trying to act like the younger, 17-year-old character that she plays. This becomes all the more evident in her character’s wardrobe and hair choices: random variations of small braids and Converse All Star Sneakers with almost every outfit. The acting in the movie doesn’t get much better apart from Wilde’s. Every line delivered seemed to come out

strained or forced. The only saving grace in the film was the acting by talented newcomer Rhys Wakefield, who portrayed Jade’s lighthearted yet rebellious older brother, Keith Butterfield. In addition, the characters seemed all too typical. David’s token best black friend cracked jokes and sang for comedic relief, a sidekick role, all too overplayed in Hollywood blockbusters. Jade’s dad, Hugh Butterfield (played by Bruce Greenwood), exhibited little dimension, other than anger and unexplainable condescending behavior toward David. Alex Pettyfer may have seemed the most unnatural playing his character’s role, with even a scene where he displays his actual English accent in such a strained manner, that it feels like he’s even faking his natural voice. Moreover, the scenarios in the film seemed to escalate too quickly and almost forced into the film to add more suspense or move the film along, causing the entire movie to seem artificial and contrived. Take, for example, the bewildering shift Jade takes from a naive high school virgin to sex fiend within a matter of days. In reality, the film became less of a movie about everlasting love and more about how the loss of a son turns a father into a villain, aiming to prevent the love David brings to his family. But one thing is for sure: Most audiences will find that “Endless Love� brought much more than love to screens this Valentine’s Day.

Digital age makes heartbreaks harder BY SALVADOR RODRIGUEZ LOS ANGELES TIMES

I’m not celebrating this Valentine’s Day. A few weeks ago I broke up with my fiancee. It was a difficult breakup, so I immediately stopped following her on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and deleted her name from my iPhone address book. I thought that would be enough to disconnect her from my digital life. But I’m finding out _ as many others have in the age of smartphones and social networks _ that connecting is easy, but severing ties online is nearly impossible. Take even the basic task of doing an Internet search. When I type in the letter “T� into my Web browser, Google suggests Twitter and just below that it lists my former fiancee’s Twitter handle. Other social media platforms serve up similar uncomfortable reminders. It feels like no matter what I do, I run into her online. Ka-Yuet Liu, a sociologist who studies social networks at the University of California-Los Angeles, said I’m not alone. Social networks have taken away some of the controls that we have over our social lives. As soon as we post information, it is forever on the Internet somewhere, she said. That means you can’t undo or wipe away a memory by merely pressing the delete button. Adrian Miller, who runs a

Los Angeles Web branding firm, recently ended a relationship with his longtime girlfriend, leading him to swear off social media so that he can focus his attention on other things. Miller, 43, said that disconnecting is tough because many people rely on the Internet to manage a great deal of their social lives, so they share too much personal information. He has kept busy working on HeartBreakSecrets.com, a new website he created that gives users who are dealing with breakups a place to go to write about their experiences anonymously. A few years back, Miller left a job under less-than-friendly terms. In the years before social networking, he would have naturally stopped seeing his former colleagues and hearing about them unless he sought them out. But because he was friends with them on Facebook, Miller said he had to manually delete all of them, one by one. After my breakup, when I typed “V� (the initial of my former fiancee’s first name) into the Twitter search feature, her profile was the first suggestion that popped up. On Spotify, a music streaming service, I was able to delete the playlists I shared with her and unfollow her so I won’t see what she’s listening to. But I have not been able to block her from seeing what I’m enjoying.

On Dropbox, the cloud storage service, are hundreds of photos of us together shot with my phone that it backed up for me automatically, along with countless other photos. I’ve stopped trying to go through them and delete them one by one. Google Plus does the same, and it also stores some GIFs, or short slide shows, of my proposal to her. It will be a while before I browse through my photos on either of these services. We’ve been apart for a few weeks now, but the most recent instance of randomly coming across her on the Web was one that was particularly devastating. It came courtesy of LinkedIn, the social network for professionals. I logged into LinkedIn because I hadn’t used the service in a while and I had a lot of notifications that needed attention. I went through dozens of connection requests and was feeling very proud of myself for clearing them out. I finished the last request, and that’s when I felt as if Tyler Durden of “Fight Club� had punched me right in the stomach. “Join V ... , Dustin and 313 others who have found people they already know,� the service said, hoping to keep me on its website a little longer. When I saw her avatar right below that suggestion, LinkedIn nearly brought me to tears.

Boucher said the sale’s proceeds will go to the Center for Children’s Books and its sister unit, The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, which is a children’s book review journal. Over the course of the year, publishers send books for The Bulletin to review, and the extra copies are donated to the book sale, Boucher said. The Bulletin is the ranked fourth in the nation for reviewing children’s books, according to Boucher.

Andracki said the book sale is also a way for people to learn about the center and encourage them to come to library when it’s not a book sale. Additionally, attendees are able to see the resources that are available at the Center for Children’s Books. “I really do hope that people are able to see the philosophy of the Center for Children’s Books and become more familiar with us,� Andraki said.

Children’s books of all kinds available at the 13th annual book sale BY ARIANA CONNER STAFF WRITER

T

housands of new and used children books line the shelves of Room 24 in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, ready to be purchased. Normally, teachers, librarians and students will line up outside the building well over an hour before the doors open, waiting for the much anticipated annual event: the Center for Children’s Book Sale. Katie Boucher, graduate assistant at the Center for Children’s Books and graduate student, described the fi rst day of the sale as a “mad dash.� “The veterans go straight to the areas that they know, and it’s kind

of exciting to watch because everyone is there and they just enjoy it,� she said. The 13th Annual Center for Children’s Book Sale will take place Monday through Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m, and admission is free. A pre-sale kicked off the event on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission to the event was $20, and guests were able to have fi rst selection of the book sale collection. Kelly Bracken, a senior in Education, wrote in an email that she went to the pre-sale looking for books for future classrooms. “I thought it was great,� she said. “They had beautiful, new hardcover books for $5 that would have cost me $15+ easily. I’m glad I did the pre-sale to get the best selection.�

On Monday, the sale will feature books with a range of genres, including non-fiction, fiction, fairy tale and young adult novels. There will also be board books, activity books, series books and more, Boucher said. Hardcover books will be $5 each and paperbacks will be $1 to $2 each. “(The book sale is) our largest undertaking by far,� Boucher said. “It started very small, and it has continued to grow as it gained popularity and people began to start hearing about it. And now, people email us in December asking to make reservations.� Thaddeus Andracki, outreach coordinator for Center for Children’s Books, said the book sale has more used books this year, coming from mass donations.

Professional etiquette seminar held to aid international students BY BRIDGET HYNES STAFF WRITER

Salt and pepper shakers should always be together when passing them across a table. Name tags should always be worn on the right side of the body. And, American football can be a great conversation starter with a potential employer. These were just a few of the tips that Dr. Courtney Price, cofounder of “Solving the American Employment Puzzle� program, spoke about during Saturday’s seminar at the I Hotel and Conference Center in Champaign. About 150 international students gathered early Saturday morning with their heads cocked and pens poised — listening attentively to both Price

and her partner Jill Hansen, as they spoke on a variety of topics surrounding American business etiquette and culture. The seminar, brought to the University by both Price and Hansen, was hosted by Engineering Career Services, the college with the highest number of international students at the University. Price and Hansen were prompted to start the workshop about five years ago in Denver. Clients of their management consulting company “VentureQuest� expressed their desire to hire international students for the unique global perspective they could bring to companies, but were also saying that these students were falling short in

some areas of business etiquette. Thus, Price and Hansen developed “Solving the American Employment Puzzle,� with a main focus of helping international students prepare to fi nd employment in the United States after graduation. According to the seminar’s informational website, only 11 percent of international students studying in the United States will actually obtain employment in the country after graduation. Jerome Ng, assistant director of Engineering Career Services, said he and his colleagues at the University saw the need to bring a workshop geared specifically toward international students. He said that while domestic students are largely accustomed to self-

promotion and the idea of networking, for some international students this concept differs from their culture back home. Sophie Li, international student from China and sophomore in Business, said she finds it hard to step forward and promote herself, simply because she is not used to it. She said she thought the seminar was most helpful in learning the importance of being confident around potential employers. “I feel like in the United States, you need to speak up and take the initiative to tell people what you are good at,� she said. “In the culture that I come from, usually if employers are interested in you, they try to find out what you are good at, instead of you tell-

ing them what you are good at.� Ng, a native of Singapore, said this lack of emphasis on networking and self-promotion in certain cultures like East Asia is the result of a greater emphasis on grades. If you get good grades and get into the toptiered schools, you are more or less guaranteed the job and there isn’t a need to “actually promote yourself.� For international students coming to the United States, this can take some getting used to. “Here you can be at a lowerranked University and still have an opportunity. It’s not as much about your status, but about what you bring to the table,� Ng said. During the seven-hour seminar, various business profes-

sionals gave tips to international students about how they can convey their skills to prospective employers. Afterward, attendees were given the opportunity to network with speakers and various professionals who attended the event. At one point in the seminar, Price and Hansen conducted a mock networking conversation, playing the roles of “prospect� and “employer.� Many international students in the audience learned that networking is not as ingenuine as they had previously thought. “In the past, I had always thought of networking as insincere, and I didn’t really want to

Illinois’ Jaylon Tate (1) attempts to block Ohio State’s Aaron Craft (4) during the game against No. 22 Ohio State at State Farm Center on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014. The Illini lost 48-39.

Illinois offense ‘anemic’ in 48-39 loss Ohio State clamps down, pulls away in 2nd half BY SEAN HAMMOND SENIOR WRITER

Unless Illinois draws Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament in March, Saturday may have been the last time the Illini will see Aaron Craft. They’re probably not too upset about it. Even with foul trouble limiting his first half playing time, Craft led Ohio State with 14 points in a 48-39 victory over Illinois at State Farm Center. Craft shot 5-for-6 from the field in what was Ohio State’s lowest scoring game of the season. Ohio State has bested Illinois six of eight times since Craft became a Buckeye. But what overshad-

owed Craft’s performance in this game was Illinois’ feeble offensive showing. This Illini team has seen its fair share of poor offensive play in 2014, but Saturday’s loss topped it all. Illinois’ 39-point output was its lowest of the season, and the lowest of any Illinois team since 2009. “Our offense was anemic (Saturday),� head coach John Groce said after the game. “I thought Ohio State had a lot to do with that. I thought they imposed their will on the defensive end.� The Illini shot 28.3 percent from the field and mustered only

16 points in the second half, after leading 23-20 at halftime. Groce’s squad nearly had as many turnovers (13) as it did field goals (15) for the game. Illinois started the game with four different players contributing field goals in the first four minutes of play. Point guard Tracy Abrams hit two threes in the half, and center Nnanna Egwu grabbed 11 of a career-high 14 rebounds in the opening period. Craft was forced to sit for much of the half after picking up two early fouls. He had scored seven points in the first 4:22 but did not score the rest of the half. The Illini came out exceedingly cold in the second half. As a team, Illinois shot 6-for-22 in the half with three field goals in the last-ditch effort to the final two minutes.

“We didn’t take quite as much advantage as we did in the first half,� Groce said. “We’ve got to impose our will. Weren’t they playing the same defense in the first half? ... Yeah.� While Illinois was struggling offensively, the Buckeyes were crashing the boards and taking advantage of Illinois mistakes, scoring 15 points off Illinois turnovers. Craft knocked down a three at the 15:14 mark to give Ohio State its first lead in nearly 22 minutes of play. The Buckeyes would never look back, extending their lead to as much as 13. Behind Craft’s 14 points, LaQuinton Ross put in nine points for the Buckeyes, and Marc Loving added eight. Only six players scored for Illinois, with Abrams and Rayvonte Rice scoring 13 and 11, respective-

ly. Ohio State is one of the better defensive teams in the Big Ten, but Abrams wasn’t so quick to give the Buckeye defense credit. “Sometimes it’s a matter of you being tough,� Abrams said. “I give those guys a little bit of credit, they played hard and smart. But it’s a matter of you being tough.� The Illinois bench contributed only two points, those coming from Joseph Bertrand, who Groce frankly stated has to play better. He said the same thing of his five freshmen. “Our young guys, they were just OK today,� Groce said. “They’ve got to be a little bit tougher.� They could learn a thing or two from watching a guy like Craft.

Illini drop 2 of 3 in opening weekend Pitching staff ’s ‘disappointing’ performance limits Illinois BY J.J. WILSON ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

Illinois baseball didn’t look like it was missing pieces on offense this weekend. Instead, it was Illinois’ pitching staff that seemed absent in Atlanta, allowing 45 hits and 28 runs as the Illini dropped to 1-2 against Georgia State in their season opening series. Friday night, junior Will Krug’s leadoff double positioned the Illini for an early 1-0 lead. Another run in the second followed by a two-run homer by Reid Roper in the sixth would extend the Illinois lead to 4-1.

“I put in the time in with the work, our team put the time in, and we just wanted to do well and show that off this weekend,� Krug said. “We did our job and we did a good job of getting to the bullpen for the most part.� In the bottom of the seventh, sophomore pitcher Kevin Duchene forfeited his sixth hit and first walk before being relieved by Tyler Jay after 100 pitches. An RBI groundout would narrow the gap to 4-2 to end the inning. Senior closer Ronnie Muck replaced Jay in the eighth after another run was scored, but the Panthers would send the game into extra innings after scoring again in the ninth. After Illinois was unable to score, Georgia State put the game away in the bottom of the 10th after Muck walked the leadoff batter.

“Overall, we pitched poorly,� head coach Dan Hartleb said. “We got the back end of our bullpen, which should be very strong, and we were poor.� Illinois looked as if it would go down in similar fashion Saturday night after falling into an early 5-0 hole in the first inning, but an eight-run, offensive explosion in the fourth would award the Illini a lead they would never surrender. Georgia State would come within one run again in the sixth before being put down by Illinois, 19-13. Again, the Illini saw production out of Krug, who led the order and batted 4-for-6 with three runs, two RBIs and three stolen bases. Sophomore Ryan Nagle chalked up three runs of his own to go along with four RBIs, finishing 4-for-5. Meanwhile, Roper homered for a sec-

ond consecutive day, this time into right field for an RBI. With the series split, Illinois went down early again Sunday afternoon, trialing 4-1 by the fifth. Five runs scored in the sixth would put the Illini back on top, but another five runs allowed by the bullpen would seal the win for the Panthers at 10-6. Starter Drasen Johnson pitched a career-high 10 strikeouts in Sunday’s game, but sophomore reliever Nick Blackburn would be the only of four relief pitchers to throw another strikeout. Blackburn’s two walks and four earned runs would pin him with the loss. “We didn’t throw the ball well this weekend,� Duchene said. “That’s what it comes down to.�

The Illinois women’s basketball (9-16, 2-10 Big Ten) team could not get over the hump on a day where it traded basket after basket with Michigan (15-10, 6-6), as well as its orange and blue uniforms for pink on “Play 4 Kay� day at State Farm Center. The 70-63 loss marks the team’s seventh in a row. The Illini have not won a home game in conference play this season. Post play proved to be the difference, as Michigan fed bigs Cyesha Goree and Val Driscoll constantly for easy

baskets. Goree, who came into the game averaging 11.5 points per game, exploded for a career-high 30 points and 19 rebounds, with 19 of her points coming in the first half. “We just didn’t have an answer for (Goree),� head coach Matt Bollant said. “Obviously she was the difference in the game. Our inability to keep her off the glass, I thought she was really good. We just didn’t do a good job of keeping her from getting boards.� A large portion of the Wolverines’ points in the paint resulted from their dominant rebounding. The 6-foot-

3 Goree and 6-foot-4 Driscoll were overpowering, as the duo grabbed 38 percent of the game’s total rebounds, and Illinois was outrebounded 48 to 19. Bollant looked to his bench early and often for a spark, and he seemed to have found one in guard Taylor Tuck. The junior did her best Ivory Crawford impersonation and anchored a struggling Illini offense when Crawford had to sit out with foul trouble. Tuck was aggressive with her drives, getting to the line five times and even knocked down a 3-pointer in what was her best game of the season.

She fi nished with career-high of 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting. Crawford herself could never get into a rhythm, fi nishing with seven points and taking only five shots, but guard Amber Moore conveniently regained her shooting stroke to keep the Illini in the game. The senior scored 19 points, making five threes in the process. “It was probably one of my best games since I’ve been at Illinois,� Tuck said. With no true way to stop the bleeding on the glass, the Illini relied heavily on the hands

Women’s basketball losing streak extended to 7 BY BLAKE PON

college basketball was a 20-minute game, Illinois would be near the top of the Big Ten. But those last 20 minutes have done the Illini in all season long and Saturday’s game against No. 22 Ohio State was no different. Illinois’ offense fell fl at in the second half of a 48-39 drubbing against Ohio State on Saturday. The game was physical, sloppy and at times, borderline unwatchable, but Illinois embraced the ugliness in the fi rst half. The Illini fought in the early going, you have to at least give them credit for that. Ohio State’s offense was dreadful in the fi rst half, scoring only 13 points in the half court. Aaron Craft, the emotional leader of this Buckeyes squad, scored seven points in the fi rst half but left early with foul trouble. Ohio State was left with nowhere to go offensively. Illinois, and in particular Nnanna Egwu, took advantage. Egwu shut down the paint for the Illini in the fi rst half. He had 11 rebounds and two blocks in the fi rst half alone, playing a large part in Ohio State’s 32.1 percent shooting. Illinois, thanks to its aggressive play, led 23-20 at halftime. Then everything fell apart. Illinois had one of the most brutal 20-minute stretches of basketball you will ever see. Give credit

Softball opens season with program’s best start BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

Though the Illinois softball team finished the weekend with its first two losses of the season, the Illini opened outdoor play at the USF Tournament in Tampa, Fla., with three straight wins resulting in the best start to a season in program history. Illinois carried over the momentum from its opening weekend winning streak, earning eight straight wins and surpassing the previous record of six straight wins to begin a season. “We had some quality atbats and missed chances,� head coach Terri Sullivan said. “But we were ready to play. We were mentally focused. We’re really proud, as they brought that mental toughness.� Illinois defeated Wright State 8-0 on Friday before beating Pittsburgh 2-0. With Friday’s wins, the Illini got their first two shutouts of the season from junior Shelese Arnold and freshman Brandi Needham, respectively, who gave up just seven hits combined to go along with seven total strikeouts. The win against Wright State was Arnold’s third career shutout. The game against Pittsburgh

tie for fifth-most all time in the program’s history. Though the mental preparation carried over to the Tennessee game, the runs did not, and the Illini were held scoreless for the first time this year. With such late games fatigue seemed only natural, but Sullivan said her team came ready to compete. “We were really, really excited to face the challenge of playing them,� Sullivan said. “Especially a team that has clearly earned where they are right now. We expect to get out there and play great softball.� The Illini limited Tennessee to just four hits over the first five innings, but an eight-run seventh inning cemented a loss for Arnold who pitched a complete game. Where the Illini offense made history just hours earlier, they failed to score against Tennessee’s senior pitcher Ellen Renfroe, a two-time All-American who allowed just five hits, no walks and struck out 12 batters. The Illini closed out the tournament looking for a win against host South Florida, but were defeated 2-1. Needham lost her first game of the season to South Florida, and

was closer than the one against Wright State, as the Panthers had multiple situations to score, but ended up stranding nine players on base. Sophomore Katie Repole went 3-for-4 on Friday after going not getting a hit last weekend. Working on mental prepartion, Repole adapted a more relax attitude. “You need that first one when you’re struggling, and you can usually get it rolling,� Repole said. “You need just one, and it was nice to get that first hit.� Saturday saw the winning streak continue for Illinois as the Illini took the first game 15-2 over Binghamton, before a 10-0 loss to No. 1 team, Tennessee. Playing in the last games of the day, the first pitch against Binghamton was not until 8 p.m., followed by a 10:40 p.m. start time to the Tennessee game. Sophomores Allie Bauch and Remeny Perez got the game started by hitting back to back home runs, a feat never done before by a pair of Illini. Perez went 4-for-4 on the day. The Illini finished the game with a ninerun fifth inning, which helped account for the largest margin of victory since 2010. Eleven Illinois players scored and the team had 17 hits total, a

With the two losses, the Illini have decided to use those game situations as preparation for the next time it comes down to the final innings. “It’s a learning experience,� Arnold said. “It’s never going to

get easier, it’s going to get better, and I think next time we play someone like that, we’ll come out on top.�

Season-worst 1st half dooms Michigan in loss BY MARK SNYDER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — It only took Jon Horford a few minutes to realize what was happening. The Michigan basketball team came off a four-day break on Sunday, basking in its dramatic road win at Ohio State and was on its comfortable home court for the first time in 11 days. The Wolverines were hosting Wisconsin, which they defeated in Madison, Wis., a month earlier. With everything lined up for the first place team, it all vanished quickly. For the first four minutes, then the first 10 minutes, then essentially to halftime, they showed little life. No matter how many times Horford tried to energize them, there was little response and the worst first half of the season sealed their No. 15 Wolverines’ fate in a 75-62 loss to the No. 21 Badgers at Crisler Center. Thanks to Michigan State’s similar selfimplosion against Nebraska, the Wolverines still share first place in the Big Ten. But Sunday, they hardly looked the part.

“It’s normal and it’s natural and it’s OK, but when guys address it, we have to be able to make the change,� Horford said after the game, referring to a first half that featured a season-low 19 points, 31.8 percent shooting and zero assists. “When guys are like, ‘Hey, you have no energy out there, you’re playing really sluggish, you have to make the change, you have to amp it up,’ we have to not take it personally and we need to address that immediately.� Though Michigan coach John Beilein vehemently disagreed, saying he felt the Wolverines (18-7, 10-3 Big Ten) were giving full effort, Horford’s teammates could feel the difference from most of their big wins. “Defensively and offensively, there just wasn’t that sense of urgency there,� said guard Nik Stauskas, who only scored 11 points. “Whether that was rotations on defense or being aggressive on the offensive end, making smart decisions, it just wasn’t there (Sunday).� Though the energy boosted a bit after halftime, with the Wolverines already trailing by 15, most of it came from only one player, guard Caris LeVert, who threw

in a career-high 25 points. Michigan couldn’t make up any ground early in the second half, still down 16 with 15 minutes left. So LeVert stopped waiting and pulled a three, igniting a 7-0 run. That turned into a 23-10 spurt where he had 14 points and the Wolverines got themselves with a chance, closing within three at 52-49 with 6:16 to play. “We were getting stops but we weren’t getting any scores at that point, I found some openings and knocked some shots down,� he said after finishing with the 25 points, including 5 of 6 from three, the one miss going halfway down before popping back up. Climbing within one possession against most teams with your home crowd supporting could be enough to push over the top. But Wisconsin (21-5, 8-5) is a different animal, with its ball control offense and staunch ball protection. The Badgers committed only two turnovers all game – one on a dubious charging call – so there were few openings and after Michigan threatened, Wisconsin respond-

ed with a 13-3 run, ending the game with just over two minutes remaining. After digging that early hole, it was just too much to finish the job. “Wisconsin does not turn people over and we had seven (first-half) turnovers against them, that makes the game even shorter,� Beilein said. That Michigan even got within three is a testament to LeVert’s will. Because the rest of his team offered little or nothing. Stauskas and Glenn Robinson III combined for 21. Derrick Walton and Zak Irvin combined for zero field goals in the first 39 minutes. There was no help, while Wisconsin big man Frank Kaminsky did whatever he wanted with 25 points and 11 rebounds, routinely attacking the basket. “I’d just say Wisconsin was mentally sharper than us,� Beilein said. “They were better than us today.� With a week off before Michigan State comes to the less-intimidating Crisler, with Big Ten first place on the line, a repeat may have more permanent consequences.

LOSING STREAK

WONSOVER

of their guards, who frequently generated turnovers and steals late in the game to close the gap. Illinois did its best to keep Michigan on the perimeter, but almost every missed shot resulted in an offensive rebound. The game was never out of reach for the Illini, as the Wolverines’ lead fluctuated from 12 points to two points at times in the second half. Down the stretch, however, the Illinois offense couldn’t get its long-range shots to fall, ultimately costing the Illini the game. Bollant singled out his team’s lack of a consistent scorer as the team’s Achilles’ heel this season. “Different players are stepping up on different nights, so we can’t rely on that same kid,� Bollant said. “It’s hard ... to know who to put in and who to play when they play one way that game and a different way the next game. Our inconsistency as a team is hurting our team.�

to Ohio State’s nasty, in-yourface style defense, but Illinois’ offense reached a new low. Illinois drained the life out of State Farm Center amid countless turnovers and bricked shot attempts in the second half. Illinois shot just 6-of-22 in the second half, which equated to an awful 27.2 field goal percentage. The Illini could only muster 16 points, with 10 of those coming in the last four and a half minutes of garbage time. Illinois head coach John Groce put it best as he said “our offense was anemic today.� Ohio State went on a 12-0 run spanning seven and half minutes when Illinois only trailed 30-29. Illinois missed all four of its field goals in that stretch and turned it over five times. Craft deservingly gets the lion share of credit for Ohio State’s fourth-best defense in the nation, according to defensive efficiency, but the Buckeyes are stacked with other great defenders. Shannon Scott was a hound Saturday, totaling five steals and getting numerous other deflections. Amir Williams solidified the paint for Ohio State, blocking two shots and altering attempts around the rim throughout the game. Illinois was overwhelmed by Ohio State’s defensive intensity.

last opening weekend and only recorded one less hit (34). This was reinforced by a fewer number strikeouts (25) and walks (16). “I thought we had a lot of quality at-bats, we had a number of guys who hit the ball hard on a consistent basis,� Hartleb said. “I just thought for a group that was unproven, they went out and compete well the first weekend.

where Illinois forced Rayvonte Rice to do too much, other players tried to get involved, but nothing was falling. Almost every shot Illinois attempted in the second half was contested. The Illini struggled to create any separation as the Buckeyes coaxed Illinois into taking long jumpers. Tracy Abrams gave credit to Ohio State’s pesky defense but said “it’s just a matter of you being tough.� The Illini weren’t tough on Saturday, and it cost them.

Illinois went on a late 7-0 to cut Ohio State’s lead to just five with a minute left, but it was too little too late. Illinois once again let a winnable game slip out of their hands. Groce is left wondering how he can jump-start this Illini offense. The addition of Kendrick Nunn and Malcolm Hill into the starting lineup paid off in the early going, but the rotation has proven to be no different. Personnel changes aren’t going to turn this offense around. Instead Groce’s system needs some tinkering. Groce had to know this year’s team was never going to fit his system as well as last year’s squad. Illinois doesn’t have reliable shooters available or a plethora of ball handlers. This year’s team also lacks effective pick and roll operators, which Groce loves to feature in his offense. Twenty-six games into the season might not be an ideal time to make drastic changes to the offense, but this team needs some spark. They need something, anything to get them going. “We better figure it out,� Groce said. If not, second halves like the one Illinois played Saturday will become a defi ning trait of the program.

Illinois had one of the most brutal 20-minute stretches of basketball you will ever see. Abrams led Illinois with 13 points after failing to score a field goal in consecutive games, but Egwu was the lone bright spot of this game for the Illini. The junior center, who often doesn’t take advantage of his 6-foot-11 frame, fi nished with a careerhigh 14 rebounds and three blocks. You can’t carry a team by playing stellar defense, but Egwu almost did. Ohio State shot just 38.3 percent from the field, but that’s Duke-esque offense compared to Illinois’ 28.3 percent shooting.

Weekend sweep may not be enough for nationals BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

The Illinois hockey team (19-162) swept Indiana (6-17-2) this weekend, but it still may not be enough to propel the team into the American Collegiate Hockey Association National Tournament. The No. 19 Illini defeated the Hoosiers 6-3 on Saturday night after a 12-0 shutout Friday, but the team is still uncertain about whether it will be selected for the national tournament when the ACHA selection show takes place Monday. Illinois’ chance at making the ACHA national tournament is up to the discretion of the league’s computerized rankings — which is being used for the first time in the league’s 22-year history. Indiana came into the weekend in last place in the CSCHL conference, with the Hoosiers only win coming against the Illini earlier this season on Nov. 16 (2-1). Senior forward John Scully helped Illinois to a two-game sweep with five goals on the weekend, including a hat trick during the first period of Friday night’s 12-0 win.

“It was fun out there,� Scully said. “It was one of those things where the puck was just kind of finding me and I was not as much trying to run around out there, but just trying to find the soft areas, go hard to the net and bang it in.� Illinois took Friday night’s game easily, exploding for a seven-goal first period en route to a 12-0 shutout. Indiana responded on Saturday night, as the Hoosiers were able to put three goals past sophomore goaltender Joe Olen, but weren’t able to keep up with Illinois’ onslaught which brought 60 shots on goaltender Jimmy Rosen. “We came in this weekend and knew what’s at stake,� freshman defense Cody von Rueden said. “Our season’s on the line and when you can gain chemistry like that early and put in seven goals right away, that’s what you want to do. You want to get the ball rolling, you want to put them down and you don’t want them to get in the game.� Illinois had 127 shots on the weekend, while Indiana had just 50. Indiana’s freshman goaltender Jordy Reizen got the brunt of it on Friday night, facing 67 shots and

allowing 12 goals, while having to block out a vocal Illini crowd. Indiana’s only salvation on Friday night came during a 15-minute delay in the second period after Scully put a thunderous hit on a Hoosiers defenseman, jarring the glass loose behind the net. Tensions between the CSCHL rivals finally boiled over on Saturday night after Illini captain Austin Bostock was ejected in the third period following a late-hit on Indiana sophomore Sam Linder, who remained on the ice with an apparent upper-body injury. Illini head coach Nick Fabbrini confirmed Austin Bostock would not face a suspension from the league following the game misconduct penalty, but agreed with the referee’s call to eject the team captain. “I don’t know what he was doing,� Fabbrini said. “I don’t think there was any intent there to hurt the kid, but you can’t make that play. Ever.� With the Illini’s playoff hopes still in limbo, Fabbrini said the team remains nervous about the ACHA’s selection show, which will take place on Monday.

MICHAEL BOJDA THE DAILY ILLINI

John Scully goes backhand to put in the first goal of the night in the 1st period of a 6-3 win against Indiana on Saturday night at the Ice Arena. “I would hope that (this weekend’s sweep) is going to be enough,� Fabbrini said. “It’s going to be really close. It’s been a little bit of a tougher year than I was hoping

for, but I think we’ve really come together here the last couple of weeks and we’ve been playing some of our best hockey of the season. I think if we get in, we’re going

to be a really dangerous team.�

Illini finish 7th at Big Ten Match Play Championships BY DAN BERNSTEIN STAFF WRITER

In match play, you need to make birdies. The Illinois men’s golf team was incapable of doing that this weekend at the par-72 Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Fla. The Illini failed to repeat as Big Ten Match Play Champions, as the team finished seventh out of 12 Big Ten teams. “We did not go down and take care of business,� head coach Mike Small said. “It was disappointing

and surprising the way we competed, but the Big Ten is a good, strong conference so any time a team in the Big Ten has a chance to get us. We need to meet their intensity. We can’t just waltz in there and think we’re going to win.� Illinois entered the weekend as the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, which gave it a first round bye into the quarterfinals where they faced Michigan. Sophomore Charlie Danielson got off to a good start for the Illini, as he defeated Reed Hrynewich 5 and 4. Daniel-

son was able to take a 1-up lead at the turn, before birdieing four out of his first five holes on the backnine to seal his match. Brian Campbell also received a point for Illinois, as he was able to pull out a 1-up victory against Michigan’s Chris O’Neill. The match was all-square through 17-holes before approaching the longest par-4 on the course, the 482-yard 18th. Campbell was able to par the hole to take the match. “(The 18th hole) was playing pretty difficult, but I put myself

in a good place off the tee,� Campbell said. “I used my short game to get up and down to save par. That round was a battle.� The other three Illini golfers Jonathon Hauter, Alex Burge and Thomas Detry all lost their respective matches, as the Wolverines advanced to the semi-finals with a 3-2 victory. Small blamed the loss on the Illini’s inability to make birdies. Burge only birdied one hole in his 16-hole match, while Hauter finished with only two birdies. Detry lost four out of his final

six holes to come up short in his match. “We did not play with the edge we needed to play with,� Small said. “We were our biggest problem. We were soft.� The Illini weren’t able to bounce back in the consolation bracket against Minnesota on Saturday morning. Campbell was the only Illinois golfer to win his match, as the Illini fell to the Gophers 2-1-2. Campbell managed to birdie six of the first 10 holes he played, but his solid performance was not enough.

In the Illini’s final matchup of the tournament, they were able to pull out the 2-2-1 victory because of the tie-breaker of total holes won. After a disappointing seventhplace finish this weekend, the Illini will go back to work in Champaign for a couple weeks, before traveling to Tampa, Fla. to compete in the USF Championships.

The difference was as small as 0.025, and it was never larger than 0.175. Again finding itself in a tight contest, the Illini again lost a close meet. Illinois lost its second close match in a row to Penn State, as it lost to Michigan by 0.225 last weekend. The defeat, however, didn’t prevent the team from being proud of the meet. Although they lost 196.675-196.500, the gymnasts are still proud of their performance. “It’s really about our performance, and I have to say we went out there, and we had a new team high score,� head coach Kim

Landrus said. “And we did some great gymnastics and great routines. I think everybody’s a little bit disappointed that we didn’t come out with a win, but we’re really happy with so many of the things that we did do.� The Illini began on the uneven bars, where they scored a 49.100. This was enough for them to lead by 0.100 after the first rotation. Following that, the team headed to vault. This was the only event where it failed to score above a 49, finishing at 48.975. “It all comes down to dynamic vaults with good landings,� Landrus said. “There were probably a couple performances (Saturday) that we need to make sure

Junior Sunny Kato won her third title on uneven bars this season with a 9.900. Sophomore Giana O’Connor’s 9.900 on floor gave her first place. Both Kato and O’Connor tied their career high scores for the respective events. Freshman Emily Lennon won her first title by scoring a 9.900 on the balance beam. This also gave Lennon a new career high on the apparatus. “We knew she was capable of putting up a high score on beam if she just goes and does the beam
