Black fraternity hosts vigil on Quad to increase awareness

For the second time this week, University students held a vigil in honor of Trayvon Martin on Wednesday night.

According to reports, Zimmermann was found with a handgun while Martin was unarmed.

Zimmermann said he acted in self-defense.

The African-American fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha set up the vigil, which included a silent lap around the Quad, spoken word performances and guest speakers. Chapter president Hameed Bello, senior in LAS, said he did not participate in the fi rst vigil on Monday; but he said his fraternity decided to help out after hearing that Trayvon Martin’s family is trying to raise more awareness.

“We recognized it was a situation that we had seen happen before,” Bello said. “It provides a platform for African-American students on campus and as well as other minorities. The vigil provides attention to a situation that is very prominent.”

GOING OVER WITH A BANG Fresh, young duo discusses method, nicknames, reasons for success

BY VERONICA MOSQUERA STAFF WRITER

Since its start in 2009, band Chiddy Bang has been bringing a new vibe to hip-hop through its eclectic mixes of indie and alternative music. Consisting of Chidera “Chiddy” Anamege and Noah “Xaphoon Jones” Beresin, Chiddy Bang, in its new album “Breakfast” has successfully reached a huge fan base despite being young talent. Chiddy Bang currently has multiple college concerts lined up and the potential for more singles to drop.

The Daily Illini: You guys met and started in college. How has your relationship with each other and your music evolved since then?

Noah “Xaphoon Jones” Beresin:

It’s evolved because we’re more comfortable with each other now after about three and a half years.

As with any initial relationship, you’re trying to get to know each other at first. We’re more comfortable with correcting each oth-

er and weighing in with our opinions now. We try to focus on each other, and now we’re traveling and meeting new people. There are amazing new ideas, and you take all that and balance it with the person that you work with.

Meeting more people gets more complicated, but we’re more selfreliant and confident.

Training board votes to not recertify UI Police Institute

Swinging low on the Quad

BY STEVEN VAZQUEZ STAFF WRITER

JOSHUA BECKMAN THE DAILY ILLINI

Michael Smith, junior in LAS, relaxes in a hammock in the high branches of a maple tree on the Main Quad. Placing his hammock about seven feet off the ground “was difficult,” Smith said Wednesday, “and getting in it was weird. But I’ll be out here again.”

INSIDE

WILLIAM SHI THE DAILY ILLINI

Will Patterson, associate director of the African-American Studies and Research Program at the University, speaks during a vigil hosted by Alpha Phi Alpha for Trayvon Wilson.

Students gathered on the Main Quad on Wednesday.

At the start of the month, the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board voted not to certify the Police Training Institute’s April Basic Law Enforcement class. As a result, the Police Training Institute, or PTI, can no longer offer its most basic training class. According to an email from Urbana Police Chief Pat Connolly, the PTI is no longer certified to offer its advanced courses either.

In a letter to affected police stations, the institute’s interim director Michael Schlosser said this is an “unfortunate outcome” because there had been renewed discussions between the board and University in the weeks leading up to the meeting. The discussions aimed to create an agreement that would allow the institute to continue offering its courses.

“It was a shock for me to learn at the board meeting that these discussions were not going to continue,” Schlosser said in the letter.

Schlosser said he was unable to provide further comment.

Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing is a residing member on the board. Prussing

said she believes the decision derived from board director Kevin McClain, who, she said, has a vested interest in closing the PTI so that he can play a leadership role in building a new institute.

In 2010, amidst the budget crisis, the institute was set to close in order to cut costs. Beyond economics, the University’s reasoning was that it was not part of the basic mission of the school. Since then, the decision was put on hold when legislators crafted an amendment to the original bill that established the institute. The amendment would create a source of funding for the institute — a $25 fee leveled against those convicted of misdemeanors and felonies — and would also take the responsibility of certification off the board and transfer it to the University.

Prussing said immediately after the board discovered that the University wanted to close the PTI, it began to look into opening a new academy at Western Illinois University, an effort that she said McClain had hoped to spearhead.

Western Illinois ultimately did not want to go forward with this plan if the PTI was going to remain open.

Supercomputer sparks innovative national studies Despite incomplete status, Blue Waters yielding discoveries

BY KLAUDIA DUKALA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

JOSHUA BECKMAN THE DAILY ILLINI

Recruits of the Police Training Institute perform a plyometric routine before dawn inside the indoor track of the University Armory on Jan. 20. The Illinois Law Enforcement Board voted not to recertify the University’s Police Training Institute’s basic training class.

TRAINING FROM PAGE 1A She said everybody, including University administration and state legislators, was “led along” and had the “rug yanked from under them at the last minute” when the board voted in March to stop certifying training starting in April.

She added that the high participation rates in courses are proof that many police stations

recognize the institute as being valuable.

“Even after the University had signed up 55 recruits for the April BLE course, at the March meeting, this Board voted not to certify PTI, which is sort of saying its education is not adequate,” Prussing said. “Of course their education is adequate. So all the cities that sent these recruits are left in the lurch to try and fi nd other training, even though they sent their recruits here because they appreciate PTI’s training.”

Alluding to McClain supporting the board decision, Prussing called the action “a political move (where) somebody is trying to build their empire at the expense of all the cities and communities that rely on the police training institute, which pioneered police training in Illinois.”

Between the years of 2005 and 2010, the PTI was training over 40 percent of all police recruits statewide. Every other police training academy’s share

of statewide training was going down, but the University’s academy share was going up.

Robin Kaler, University spokeswoman, said the future is uncertain because it is difficult to run this training institute without its most basic course.

She added that the institute is very thankful for the state legislators who are working to resolve the issue.

Board members did not reply to repeated calls from The Daily Illini.

Provost search narrowed down to 3 candidates

BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER

The search committee for the position of provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs has narrowed their search down to three candidates.

Of the fi nal three candidates, two are from the University: Ruth Watkins, dean of LAS, and Ilesanmi Adesida , dean of the College of Engineering. The third candidate is Adam Gamoran , director of the Wisconsin Center for Education Research and the associate dean for research in the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The winning candidate will replace interim provost Richard Wheeler, who has held the position for a little over two years.

While he is still unsure of his plans after the new provost is appointed, he said he will do whatever he can to make the transition go as smoothly as possible.

These fi nalists will participate in the fi rst ever individual public forums, proposed by Chancellor Phyllis Wise who is conducting the search.

In these forums, students, staff and faculty members can meet each candidate, listen to their statements and ask questions about their expectations and concerns regarding the provost position.

“I think I reflect the thinking of the campus when I say that we’re very pleased that this is an open and transparent process,” said Paula Kaufman, search committee chair. “It’s really the fi rst time that the whole community will have an opportunity

Q&A FROM PAGE 1A

to meet with the candidates for this really important position.”

Campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said Wise believes that students, staff and faculty members will work closely with the provost on many important issues in the future.

Because of this close proximity, Wise thinks it is important for them to meet the candidates and give their input.

In an email to faculty and staff, she said, “Your feedback is an important part of this process.”

The public will have the chance to comment on each candidate through anonymous web-based forms, which are found on the provost search website.

The search began in December 2011 when Parker Executive Search, a fi rm based in Atlanta, was hired to work with the search committee to build a large pool of candidates following the Feb. 15 application deadline.

The committee met with each candidate for an interview and assessed both the interview and paperwork provided by each candidate.

The three fi nalists were presented to Wise who accepted the recommendations, Kaufman said.

Kaufman said shortly after the forums, the committee will assess the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate, but Wise will make the fi nal decision.

“From the entire search process, we hope to result in a really good provost: someone who is exemplary, someone who is able to

YOSPUORR TS

Six research teams across the U.S. have recently begun using the first phase of the Blue Waters supercomputer to answer a range of scientific questions.

Blue Waters is located at the University and is sponsored by the University’s National Center for Supercomputing Applications, or NCSA. Supported by the National Science Foundation and the University, the Blue Waters Project will allow scientists to make discoveries in various fields of research using a newly developed supercomputer. This supercomputer will be capable of one petaflop of sustained performance, which will ultimately allow the supercomputer to make quadrillions of calculations per second.

NCSA spokeswoman Trish Barker said the completed Blue Waters sustained petascale supercomputer is expected to be one of the most powerful and up-todate research tools in the world.

She said the finalized supercomputer will be built from hundreds of thousands of processors and should be finished later this year. The incomplete Blue Waters supercomputer, also referred to as the Early Science System, is already being utilized by various universities.

“Right now we have about 15 percent of the supercomputer installed, and this small portion is already being used by scientists and engineers for research,” she said.

Barker said there were over 20 proposals submitted to the NCSA from different research teams detailing how they could use the Blue Waters supercomputer to benefit their studies while it is being built. Due to a limited amount of space on the unfinished Blue Waters supercomputer, only six teams were selected.

“It was a very difficult decision,” Barker said. “All of the research groups are very talented and are going to be doing very interesting and important work.

We felt that these six teams were very experienced in using systems during early phases, that they had projects that could be

VIGIL FROM PAGE 1A law. As many as 25 states have some form of the law, according to San Francisco-based group Legal Community Against Violence. According to Florida statutes, these types of laws justify using deadly force in order to prevent death or “great bodily harm.” .

Sgt. Brian Ingram, with Illinois State Police District 10, said while Illinois has laws that give victims the right to use force when necessary, the laws are not identical to the Florida statutes.

“The Florida ‘stand your ground’ laws are unique to that state,” Ingram said.

According to the Illinois statutes, a person is justified to use force against another when he feels it is necessary to defend himself against unlawful actions. However, such selfdefense is only valid if there is reasonable belief that it would prevent death or injury.

This law applies also to people defending their own property or someone else’s.

In both cases, use of deadly force on an aggressor is only justified when there is reasonable belief that it would stop the aggressor from further committing a forcible felony. And in the case of a dwelling, the

completed within the next few months and that their software codes were well-prepared to use the supercomputer.”

Some of the topics the research teams are examining are explosive burning in Type Ia supernovae and a closer look at a vital step in HIV infection development.

Brian O’Shea, assistant professor at Michigan State University, and his research team were one of the six chosen teams to utilize the Early Science System. O’Shea and his team are studying the evolution of the first generation of galaxies and how they were formed.

He said his research team sees remnants of this first generation of galaxies in our own Milky Way and that those remnants represent the transition between the early state of the universe and the more complex universe commonly seen today.

“Blue Waters is meant to be used for the largest-scale supercomputing, for problems that require the highest-performance systems available,” O’Shea said.

“We thought that this particular problem, which requires the modeling of many problems simultaneously, would be a perfect application for Blue Waters.”

O’Shea said he hopes to figure out how the properties of galaxies have evolved over the 14-billion-year lifespan of the universe.

According to the NCSA website, the University is also utilizing the Early Science System.

Klaus Schulten, physics professor, and his research team are creating a simulation of a cylinder-shaped protein coating that encases the HIV-1 genome. This simulation, which shows how this protein disassembles and releases its genetic material in the body, will imitate an important step of development in the HIV infection.

He said his research will help people better understand a crucial step in how HIV develops.

“We want to understand how to protect people from the HIV virus,” he said.

Andrew Doskochynskyy, freshman in Engineering, said he is excited to see how research will evolve because of the Blue Waters supercomputer.

“I hear that the Blue Waters supercomputer is already letting researchers study things no one else can,” he said. “It’s crazy to think how quickly technology is advancing. I can’t even imagine the things the supercomputer will be able to do once it’s fully built.” intruder must have also made or attempted entry in a “violent, riotous, or tumultuous manner.”

As for the case of concealed weapons, which has also raised questions in the Martin case, Ingram said Florida’s stance is its responsibility. Illinois, he added, has a ban on both the concealed and open carrying of weapons.

“Illinois is the only state in the country with such a law banning concealed weapons,” Ingram said.

Bello said the African-American community on campus has taken great interest in the case.

Alexis Pope, treasurer of the local chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists and senior in media, said she believes race is the key issue.

“If it was a white male in Trayvon’s place, and the shooter was black, I feel they would have arrested him right then and there,” Pope said.

Bello added that race is an issue but not the only factor, saying that the laws in question are as much to blame.

“I feel it is more of a mixture of both,” Bello said. “We know there is a racial thing; we’ve always tried to overcome it for a long time. The thing is that history always repeats itself.

There’s always remnants of a situation that come back to haunt us in different places.”

Martin shooting made all the more tragic by lingering uncertainty On

Feb. 26, 17-yearold Trayvon Martin was shot and killed in Sanford, Fla. while walking through The Retreat at Twin Lakes neighborhood. The unarmed teen was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain. Zimmerman told police it was an act of self-defense. Due to a Florida law stating that deadly force is justifiable in cases of selfdefense, Zimmerman still has not been taken into custody. Martin’s friends, family and supporters, however, are now calling for the shooter to be put in jail and on trial, claiming that the teen was murdered because of his skin color.

Details that have emerged about the background of the shooter and the shooting itself make it even harder to believe that the police have taken no action to arrest Zimmerman. In 2005, he was charged with assault on a police officer and accused of domestic violence. He

had also placed more than 40 phone calls to the police in the past, many of which were to report “suspicious” black males. During his Feb. 26 call to police, the dispatcher told Zimmerman not to follow Martin, yet he continued to do so.

Though there is a strong negative public view of Zimmerman, there is always a “he said, she said” game that can shed a new light on a case. For example, an eyewitness claims to have seen Martin pinning Zimmerman to the ground. Other information released also revealed that Martin was not in school that day because he was suspended after marijuana residue was found in his backpack.

Tragically, the Martin family is left mourning their loss along with lacking the answers they deserve to receive: was the shooting simply an act of racism? Or was it actually Martin that provoked Zimmerman? The problem now is that even if something were to be done, it

would be too late to go back and try to collect evidence from the scene. It is difficult to decipher exactly what happened before, during and after the shooting because there is no one who can provide substantial evidence to support Martin’s side of the situation. Convicting Zimmerman beyond reasonable doubt is also challenging given the amount of time he has had to build a solid defense.

Despite the foggy details surrounding the killing, one thing is clear: Zimmerman should have been taken into custody and fully investigated from the beginning.

Presidential candidates slow to give plans for war in Afghanistan MEGAN GRAHAM Opinions columnist

E

veryone is talking about Afghanistan. But no one knows quite what to do about it.

The Huffington Post’s front page last weekend illustrated the dilemma with a blaring headline: “DUMBSTRUCK.” A photo of the four last GOP men standing was posted below — Mitt Romney looking smug, Rick Santorum looking queasy, Paul looking jolly and Newt Gingrich looking like he had better things to do.

American support for the war in Afghanistan is continuing to falter — a recent New York Times/CBS News poll showed that 69 percent of Americans thought the United States should not be at war in the Middle Eastern country. After the ninth anniversary of the war in Iraq trudged by last week, Americans are looking to presidential hopefuls to reveal their plans for the future of war in Afghanistan, now over a decade old.

But the answers, as of yet, have been largely ambiguous.

But there has certainly been some cattiness. Romney has condemned President Barack Obama for “failed leadership” in setting the 2014 NATO-backed deadline for an Afghanistan exit, but hasn’t said he would change those plans. Gingrich said this month that the war may “not be doable” and also chastised the president for apologizing to Afghan leaders following a recent Quran burning at a U.S. military base. Santorum also said Obama’s apology signaled “weakness,” and that the U.S. should either commit to

winning the war or “get out.”

Only Paul, whose chance at winning the nomination is, at this point, basically nil, has definitively said he would end the war immediately if he were elected.

In short, there’s been outright indictment for what we’re doing right now, without any original thoughts on what we should be doing instead. Julie Pace’s Associated Press piece on the topic — “GOP field quick to criticize Obama on Afghanistan, but have few policy plans of their own” — has been widely disseminated after being published Mar. 24. Though the ambiguity is becoming increasingly frustrating for voters, I think we may be pushing the candidates for answers too soon.

The war in Afghanistan, which in the beginning held almost uniform bipartisan support and gradually became more of a party issue, no longer rests on party lines. Many Republicans have been supportive of Obama’s wartime actions, making it difficult for the GOP presidential hopefuls, who in past months have heavily relied on anything anti-Obama when proposing policy, to make decisions about our future in the Middle East.

“This is not an issue that is so simple that reflexively turning to a Republican line of attack is going to be the answer,” said Michael O’Hanlon, a fellow at Washington-based think tank Brookings Institution, in Pace’s story.

In such a polarized time in American politics, it would be outrageous for one of Obama’s opponents to admit they would follow in his path. Think about the last time you heard one of the candidates say, “This is something we’re doing right.”

Can’t? That’s probably

because it rarely happens, even when praise is due.

“This year’s GOP candidates ... find their party’s hawkish tendencies butting up against the public’s growing impatience with the Afghan war,” Pace’s story said , which succinctly identified most of the candidates’ sentiments (like Romney’s battle cry, “Of course you take out our enemies, wherever they are. These people have declared war on us. They’ve killed Americans. We go anywhere they are, and we kill them.”)

I think pressing the candidates for answers at this point may be dangerous; effectively pigeonholing them to overly severe promises if one ends up in office early next year.

Pressing candidates at this point, when their plans will be inextricably linked to garnering votes instead of identifying what is best for our country, may very well result in more hawkish policy that Americans simply don’t want.

Asking these questions in a contentious political battle will inevitably (and immaturely, but hey, that’s politics) result in answers that call for the opposite of whatever we’re doing now, as is the way with any voting point in any election cycle.

Republican candidates have said, perhaps correctly so, that they would prefer to outline plans after ascending to office, where they would have the ability to conduct more thorough reviews. Though we should be pressing them on these difficult questions, we shouldn’t punish them for not having the answers.

Sometimes an honest “I don’t know ... yet” is the best answer we can hope for.

KEEPING IT REAL

Insurance mandate helps provide access, keep cost down for sick, healthy NISHAT KHAN Opinions columnist

M

andate. It might mean we have to be present in class, be at a meeting or be somewhere at a certain time.

There’s something determined and angry about the word that seems to cut at our sense of liberty. Why can’t I eat Cheetos and watch re-runs of Punk’d right now?

We don’t like being told what to do. And we certainly don’t like being forced to do anything.

The 26 states opposing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) say the individual mandate is doing

just that.

The individual mandate is the requirement that all individuals who can afford health care insurance buy some kind of minimal insurance policy. People who can afford health care insurance are considered those “for whom the minimum policy will not cost more than 8 percent of their monthly income, and who make more than the poverty line,” explains Ezra Klein of the Washington Post.

In other words, if the cheapest health insurance is costing you more than 8 percent of your monthly income or you have little to no income, then you don’t have to worry about all the fuss on the hill this week. To be clear, if your income is that low you’re probably getting government

subsidies that support some kind of health care for your family.

So, what’s the legal question here? Opponents of the mandate are challenging whether regulation of the health care market is a power allotted to Congress under the Commerce Clause.

The Commerce Clause allows Congress to regulate interstate activity. Opponents are saying that the choice not to buy health care is “economic inactivity” and thus can’t be constituted as behavior the government can regulate.

Supporters of the bill say the choice not to buy health insurance has serious economic consequences and therefore has a very real effect on interstate commerce. The decision not to buy coverage just shifts the cost

burden to other people. A primary example might be emergency room visits, which have to be paid for by the hospital or tax payers, Klein said.

Mandate isn’t a pleasant word, I agree. However, in this case, the mandate was designed so that everyone can pay into a service they will need at some point in their lives.

If you don’t mandate insurance, sick people will be the only ones buying it, causing premiums to skyrocket and driving health care costs up considerably. The mandate requires both the sick and the healthy to buy in so that the costs can stay low for everyone.

Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr, who is representing the government in court this

week, said that everyone will seek health care during their lifetime, the government is just regulating when they have to buy it.

That argument didn’t go over so well with the Court on Tuesday.

Chief Justice Roberts asked if you could make people buy cell phones because one day they might need to make a 911 call.

Justice Antonin Scalia said that everybody needs to eat. So, can you make people buy broccoli if you make them buy health insurance?

They asked some difficult questions, perhaps simplifying the concept of the mandate to a point that ignores the context.

If someone didn’t have a cell phone, no one is going to have to

bear the burden of the costs for someone not having one.

If someone needs health care badly, they will go to the emergency room. They will get care, and somebody will pay for it.

It’s hard to simplify the health care mandate to these kinds of questions. People need health care, and they’ll get it one way or another.

The thing is, they should be able to get it too. We all deserve access to health care when we need it, and the mandate can only help us there.

Not only does it mean more people have access to care, but it shifts the cost burden as well.

At the end of the day, those are both good things.

Anthropologists discover ancient human remains

BY ALICIA CHANG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Lucy, it turns out, had company — another prehuman that also walked but spent more of its time in trees.

Until now, there was no proof of another human relative living around the same time as the species made famous by the Lucy skeleton. But a fossil discovery reveals there was another creature around 3 million years ago and it gives new insight into the evolution of a key human trait — walking on two legs.

The creature came to light when an international team of researchers unearthed a partial foot in eastern Africa. Like Lucy, it walked upright, but had a grasping foot that it used to climb tree branches. Scientists said it’s now clear that various human relatives experimented with upright walking.

Various hominin species have co-existed throughout human evolutionary history, but this is the first sign of another during Lucy’s time.

So what was this tree-climbing and ground-dwelling creature?

Scientists don’t yet know because no skull or teeth have been recovered to make a determination. But it’s clear the foot did not come from Lucy’s species, Australopithecus afarensis.

It’s rare to find prehuman feet because bones are fragile and don’t preserve well. So American and Ethiopian scientists led by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History were excited when they excavated eight foot and toe bones in 2009 in the remote Afar region of Ethiopia, 30 miles north of where Lucy was discovered in 1974.

By analyzing the bone structure and dating the surrounding dirt,

the team concluded the fragments came from the right forefoot of a human relative that lived 3.4 million years ago. While Lucy had humanlike feet, this creature was less advanced.

“This find is the first good evidence that there was a second, different species lineage” at that time, said Tim White, director of the Human Evolution Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley. The ability to walk upright is a key feature that separates humans from other great apes.

The new specimen’s foot resembled that of Ardi, short for Ardipithecus ramidus, a species that lived a million years earlier than Lucy in what is now Ethiopia. But scientists don’t know whether it is a descendant or close relative.

Like Ardi, its big toe is set apart from the rest of its foot, allowing it to grip tree branches, and it had no arch. There are signs in the bones and joints that it walked on two legs — at least some of the time.

Instead of pushing off from the big toe like modern human, it took off from the outside of its feet.

Scientists said it’s hard to glean what its stride was like without knowing the shape of its ankles, knees and hips. But it likely was not very efficient and moved around awkwardly. Without a foot arch, it also could not travel as far as Lucy.

While the 3-foot-6-inch Lucy spent some time in the forest, her vastly different feet meant that she was better adapted and more comfortable wandering around open fields than the newly discovered creature was.

What are the chances the two interacted? If they met, scientists said they probably did not socialize, given their different lifestyles.

London’s security on high alert for Summer Olympics

BY PAISLEY DODDS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Britain has planned for a dizzying array of security nightmares surrounding the Olympics, including a coordinated attack like the London transit bombings, a dirty bomb or a cyberattack.

In the wake of France’s deadly shootings, one scenario weighing heavily on the minds of security officials is the self-starter operating with little or no help from others.

And, they admit, there are limits to what security personnel can do.

“You cannot exclude something similar,” said Denis Oswald, head of the International Olympic Committee’s coordination commission for the London Games.

“Every Olympic venue will be specially protected, but of course, when you are in the street, people waiting for the bus waiting to go to an Olympic venue could be a target.”

“The reality is that there are hosts of people like this and most of them will never do anything,” said a British government official who spoke on condition of anonymity to the AP because of the sensitivity of his work. “You can’t follow everyone around.”

“The profile of these loners is different to what we saw with the four suicide bombers in 2005,” said Noman Benotman, a former jihadist with links to al-Qaida who still maintains contacts within the jihadist community.

“Many of them have some training, a strong conviction and they manage to stay off the radar for the most part.”

Although the 8,000-mile torch relay starts in May — more than

two months ahead of the games — security and law enforcement officials are bracing for a number of potential threats.

Inside Britain’s domestic spy agency of MI5, a clock counts down the minutes before the torch arrives in England.

“To terrorists, the Olympics present a golden opportunity because they know they will get the world’s attention,” said Benotman, who now works as an analyst for the London-based Quilliam Foundation. “It doesn’t really matter whether they kill seven or 70.”

Although there is no intelligence to suggest a credible and specific threat to the games, officials have spent years taking precautions for the Olympics since London won the bid the day before the 2005 attacks.

Britain is already known as a leader in ‘Big Brother’ surveillance — there are nearly 30 CCTV cameras near George Orwell’s house alone in North London. The author of “1984” warned more than six decades ago of a time when it would be nearly impossible to escape from the watchful eyes of the state.

For the games, more cameras will be added to Britain’s 4.3 million, and some will be used in conjunction with advanced facial recognition software and databases that can match vehicle registration numbers to names.

Olympic venues have also been designed with security threats in mind — shatterproof glass has been installed, structures have been built with advice from explosives experts and pathways have been laden with curves and gaps deliberately meant to slow down a potential attacker.

Senate to discuss state scholarships

BY CHRISTOPHER WILLS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

In this 2007 photo, the 3.2 million year old Australopithecus afarensis skeleton called Lucy, part of a new exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Houston, is seen. A fossil discovery reveals another creature around 3 million years ago and it gives new insight into the evolution of a key human trait on walking on two legs.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Politicians love to talk about the importance of education. In Illinois, legislators go a step further and personally award scholarships to state universities — sometimes to friends, donors and political allies.

For a century, each Illinois legislator has had the power to hand out a few scholarships every year without regard to students’ needs or qualifications, which fit comfortably in the state’s tradition of favors for people with connections. In recent years, a state lawmaker helped a political backer’s four children with $94,000 worth of tuition waivers. Another gave a scholarship to the son of a Chicago alderman. Federal investigators are also looking into cases of recipients with suspicious addresses.

The Illinois House voted last week to get rid of the freebie program; the big question is whether Senate Democrats will allow a vote on what Gov. Pat Quinn calls “political scholarships.”

Supporters insist the scholarships are a way to help poor but promising students.

Critics contend that if Illinois lawmakers want to help the state’s education system, they should support programs that provide aid to needy students.

The chief sponsor of the bill to abolish the Illinois waivers, Rep. Fred Crespo, said it’s clear some legislators are abusing their power.

“This is not really helping that many students,” said Crespo. “This is just a feel-good kind of thing.”

The tuition perk comes with one rule: Lawmakers are supposed to award the waivers to students who live in their districts. But that rule is often broken.

Crespo said keeping the program just perpetuates Illinois’ reputation for corruption.

“If someone votes against this bill, they’re enabling unethical behavior. It’s as simple as that,” Crespo said.

UI Greeks hold community charity events STAFF WRITER

As spring continues to taunt everyone with its warm temperature, brightly-colored nature and intoxicating sun rays, it also brings the Greek world together for the prime time to give back. It’s that time of year when sororities and fraternities are keeping busy with organizing and promoting their respective philanthropy events.

This week, for example, Sigma Alpha, is holding its first jeans drive. Jeans and denim material will be donated to Habitat for Humanity, said the sorority’s philanthropy chair, Amanda Kazmierczak, senior in ACES. The jeans will be turned into insulation for houses that are being built.

Kazmierczak said she got the idea to get involved in high school, but this is the first time Sigma Alpha has done it on campus. The girls are collecting donations this week on the quad and various spots around campus.

In addition, the ladies of Alpha Xi Delta are hosting their annual barbecue at their house Wednesday, April 5 from 5 to 7 p.m. for their charity, Autism Speaks, in honor of Autism Awareness Month.

children in the country and is the fastest-growing development disorder,” said Alpha Xi Delta’s philanthropy chair Beth Dixon, sophomore in DGS. “We’re really passionate about our philanthropy.”

Also this weekend is Alpha Tau Omega Recess, where Alpha Tau Omega will host a three-day series of tournaments. Friday is a sand volleyball tournament, Saturday is a three-on-three soccer tournament and Sunday is a flag football tournament. Sororities are participating in the tournaments, which will take place in Frat Park. They encourage the public to attend and watch.

Alpha Tau Omega’s event will wrap up with their annual blood drive on April 13, one of the largest blood drives in the state. They strongly encourage students to donate. All proceeds go to the Chicago and Northwest Indiana McDonald House Charities.

“Service is something I think everyone should do,” said Alpha Tau Omega’s philanthropy chair Kyle Gaughan, sophomore in LAS. “We are fortunate to attend a university like this. Giving back is the least we can do.”

philanthropy go hand in hand, but students involved even go above and beyond what’s expected of them.

“We often participate in other philanthropy events such as Kappa Delta’s dodge ball tournament and Delta Delta Delta’s Greeks at Bat. There are some people in our house that do service around the committee,” Gaughan said. “For example, I volunteer at Champaign-Urbana Recreation. I am paired up with a resident who wants to participate in a 5K race, and I practice with him and run the race with him.”

Nearly all sororities and fraternities are hosting or participating in philanthropy events this spring; it’s the perfect opportunity for everyone to let the spring fever subside for a little bit and give back.

Some other events coming up include Delta Zeta’s Turtle Tug aiding children with chronic illness, Fiji Phi Jamma Delta Keep on Keeping On charity, Alpha Omicron Pi’s Putt Out Diabetes, and Alpha Chi Omega’s Collection Drive collecting gently used phones and equipment for Verizon’s HopeLine.

Guests sleep in history at Illini Union

BY REEMA ABI-AKAR STAFF WRITER

Often overlooked but always welcoming, the Illini Union Hotel has been receiving a wide range of guests since the Union’s construction in 1941.

A not-so-hidden gem within the Union, the hotel’s walls and rooms contain intricate detailing in the wood and around the ceilings. With a certain antique yet refined quality, some tend to forget that it holds as much history as the Union itself.

Whether they know it or not, all guests receive a free history lesson nestled within the walls of the hotel’s rooms: Originally, the Illini Union was a Works Project Administration (WPA) development as part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal. Putting people to work to bring the nation out of the Great Depression, architectural ventures such as this were undertaken around the nation. From the ashes of the Depression came this Colonial Virginia-inspired building, christened by Eleanor Roosevelt herself.

Manager Wally Lotz has presided over the hotel for six years, overseeing one of many remodeling periods throughout its history.

“There was a major renovation project in the mid-60s, which added 76 hotel rooms to the south addition of the building,” he said. Two more face-lifts, one in 2004 and one in 2009, supplemented it, he added.

These rooms have housed countless people throughout the hotel’s history — alumni, University guests, potential students or other visitors to campus are welcomed within the top two floors of the Illini Union.

er they’re a departmental guest, whether they’re a perspective employee, (or) a perspective graduate student brought here by the department. Some people are here for conferences that are sponsored by certain departments.”

With an average of 375 to 400 guests per week, the hotel also houses its fair share of mothers, fathers and relatives, especially on special campus events like Dad’s Weekend or Mom’s Weekend.

“I think it’s awesome because people can just enjoy the proximity of everything on campus if they (stay) there,” said Olexandra Kostenko, graduate student in LAS. “On Green Street they can find everything they need to dine out, and even in the Illini Union there are many options.”

Its central location on campus means that the Illini Union Hotel guests enjoy views of the Main Quad and its surrounding buildings.

“I think it would be a good place to stay because it’s kind of central to everything,” said Elizabeth

Rivera-Cruz, senior in LAS. Another thing that students may not know is that for less than $50, the hotel offers a quiet place for students to study for finals. This could be helpful to anyone with bothersome roommates or those who would just like time to themselves during finals week.

Ya Zhang, graduate student in Engineering, commented that it would also be convenient for students moving from apartment to apartment between semesters.

That way if there is a couple of days’ gap in between leases, they will have a place to stay in the meantime.

“People have their weddings here,” Lotz said. “Students, when they get married, they have their wedding in the Illini Union, and they have their guests stay (at the hotel), and it works out.”

Carved within the elaborately decorated wood, the history of the Illini Union Hotel continues to bring in hundreds of visitors to this centrally located, historical building.

‘Tricksters’ comes to campus, flips out

Emerging sport combining gymnastics, martial arts, dedication brings together this close-knit RSO

BY KELLY CHUIPEK STAFF WRITER

What do you get when you combine martial arts, gymnastics and a little bit of break dancing? You get the Champaign-Urbana Tricksters, an RSO started on campus in Fall 2010.

Tricking is a relatively new sport, taking the techniques of gymnastics and the kicks of martial arts to create a new type of acrobatics.

Emerging as a world sport in the early 2000s, tricking has spread through the use of YouTube, giving participants the chance to share their moves with people all around the world.

For club president Jose Martinez, junior in LAS, joining the tricksters when the club first opened seemed like a natural progression from his childhood interests.

“When I was 12, I started karate. After karate, I became interested in martial arts choreography,” he said. “I accidentally did a front-flip and I thought to myself, ‘I can do that on purpose if I wanted to.’”

Standing in the combat room in the ARC on the first day the Tricksters officially started, Martinez was not sure what direction the club would end up going.

“There was really not too much structure to the ing this,” Martinez said. “The oldest member probclub,” he said. “We all wanted to learn, and we knew ably isn’t even the best because he teaches us and at least a little bit. We all just threw what we knew we learn from his mistakes. I teach others and they learn from my mistakes.” and started from there.”

he has learned 10 tricks in the two months he has been a member.

While members are learning new tricks and sometimes making mistakes, they feel support from their fellow tricksters.

“Every time you do something new, people cheer for you. You mess up, people pick you up,” Martinez said. “We’re just trying to do our thing and enjoy ourselves.”

For Jen Chan, freshman in LAS, this “trickster family” as she calls it, has given her the support to overcome the biggest obstacle for tricksters: fear.

“The biggest challenge is getting over fear,” she said. “There are some gymnastics moves, and to do this, you have to get rid of the idea of ‘oh, I can’t do it’ and you just have to do it. Once you do accomplish it, it’s the best feeling in the world.”

Martinez can agree with Chan on overcoming fears, stating that he learned to overcome many things in tricking. But to him, it’s even more than that.

“It’s a form of self expression, it relieves stress, and it teaches you how to push your limits,” he said.

“It helps you break any limits that you ever thought you had.”

ewly hired Illinois women’s basketball head coach Matt Bollant was familiar with his new employer before athletic director Mike Thomas contacted him about the open head coaching position.

Bollant’s former team, Green Bay, soundly defeated Illinois 82-62 at the San Juan Shootout in November.

While explaining his impressions of the new roster he has inherited at Illinois, Bollant posed a philosophical question referring to the game played in San Juan between his former team and new team.

Bollant built Green Bay into a top women’s basketball program, losing just 19 games in the five seasons with the team. But even though the Phoenix’s success translated into victories on the court, Bollant said that recruiting victories were not as frequent.

“A lot of players have said to me ‘Nobody has called me, nobody has emailed me, nobody has Facebooked me, nobody has built a relationship like you,’” Bollant said. “And then you still lose them.

International competition provides Ruggeri lessons for home SENIOR WRITER

Editor’s note: This is the sixth part of a series highlighting Illinois gymnast Paul Ruggeri’s road to potentially qualifying for the 2012 London Olympic Games.

The majority of Paul Ruggeri’s accolades come on high bar. The senior Illinois gymnast is a two-time NCAA Champion, one-time U.S. National Champion (2009) and three-time international medalist on the event.

On March 20-26 at The Cottbus (Germany) World Cup, Ruggeri competed for Team USA on the international stage against the world’s top gymnasts and came away with a silver medal on the high bar. It’s clearly his best event, but not the one he thinks could be what he does best with in Olympic qualifiers and the actual Olympics.

Rather, Ruggeri thinks it may be the floor, the one event in which he didn’t make the finals in Germany. Ruggeri took sixth on the vault.

“I was a little off on the floor

from my first pass,” Ruggeri said. “I didn’t use the surface to my advantage.”

In Germany, the gymnastic equipment used is Spieth Anderson, a harder surface. Ruggeri typically trains on AAI-American Athletic Inc. equipment, with a soft-yet-firm surface. His favorite floor surface would be with the equipment in Asia, where he competed at the Japan Cup, on a springy surface.

The inconsistency of the floor surfaces causes for it to be an inconsistent event in the Olympics because most of the gymnasts are competing on something they are unfamiliar with.

“You never know who is going to hit floor,” Ruggeri said. “People say floor is your best chance because you never know who is going to hit. As long as you’re clean, it’s pretty easy to get it done.”

Looking back, Ruggeri realizes he can now think about his technique more and what he can change for different surfaces.

“We had taken the surfaces into account but probably

court, but still because of academics and all those other things, it was a challenge recruiting.”

Bollant’s recruiting battles could become significantly easier at Illinois, especially with the prospects of the Assembly Hall renovations. His move to the Big Ten has already been noted on the recruiting trail, too.

Minnesota-based AAU coach Bill Larson contacted Bollant last night after he accepted the position at Illinois. Larson runs the North Tartan AAU team that has seen over 350 women’s basketball players receive college scholarships, including reigning Big Ten freshman of the year Rachel Banham of Minnesota. Four Gophers’ starters last season had previously played for Larson.

He said his program’s pres-

could have made some changes,” said Illinois assistant coach Ivan Ivankov, who traveled with Ruggeri.

In London this summer, the brand Gymnova will be used, which is harder than an American floor but not quite as hard as in Germany.

The high bar is typically consistent across the board, something Ruggeri finds comfort in. He finished .200 of a point behind Epke Zonderland from the Netherlands at the Cottbus Cup after placing ahead of Zonderland in prelims.

“Zonderland is arguably one of the best high-bar guys in the world,” Illinois head coach Justin Spring said. “He’s always

in every final he ever goes to in world championships, these world cup meets and Paul beat him out in the first day and was nipping on his heels in finals, got second by only a couple tenths. That says a lot.”

The format of competition in Germany was something also similar to the Olympics. There were four days of competition with preliminaries and finals, something Ruggeri has never experienced before and he thought was long and grueling.

“I learned how to handle my anxiety over a long time,” Ruggeri said. “I had to revamp every single day and I had to bring new energy to the competition every single day.”

In London, the competition spans 11 days, though it is highly uncommon for a gymnast to ever compete on all 11 days.

Now Ruggeri must put the international worries aside and focus on the Big Ten and NCAA Championships, where he competes on his consistent AAI equipment and won’t compete for more than three days in a row.

“This meet was right in line with our season,” Spring said.

“It was good for him to go out and do those routines in a much higher level of stress environment to go and compete on podium on the international stage.

Now he’ll come back and turn it on in practice.”

As the search to name the next Illinois men’s basketball coach appears headed toward its 21st day, there has been another turn in Illinois Athletic Director Mike Thomas’ reported pursuit of Ohio coach John Groce.

Ohio athletics spokesman Drew Wiseman said Wednesday that university administrators are interested in retaining Groce and are attempting to put together funds to retain him, but aren’t sure the sources of those funds.

According to The Athens Messenger, discussions were in the works between Ohio Athletic Director Jim Schaus and President Roderick McDavis to increase Groce’s salary, possibly up to $500,000 annually.

Wiseman said the Bobcats head coach is earning $355,000 this season in base salary and bonuses. Ohio’s athletic department budget was reported at $22.8 million for 2010-11 — about $50 million less than Illinois’.

Chicago native and junior Bobcats point guard D.J. Cooper took to Twitter, supporting his head coach, while also suggesting a means to retain him.

“If coach goes to U of I just know my homie @djrich32 (D.J. Richardson) will be in

Sanchez’s triple seals win over Indiana State Productive lineup, Gay’s pitching contribute to 7-2 victory for softball

BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER

The Illinois softball team won its ninth game in its last 11 Wednesday, getting contributions from all over the lineup. Seven players recorded hits for the Illini in a 7-2 victory over Indiana State, including four from third baseman Kelley Wedel .

After three scoreless innings, the Illini (16-11, 2-1 Big Ten) cracked the scoreboard fi rst when catcher Stephanie Cuevas followed a Wedel double with a run-scoring single to center field in the fourth inning. Cuevas would go on to score the Illini’s second run in the inning on an infi eld single from center fielder Alex Booker. The ball came off Booker’s bat with backspin, landing directly in front of the plate and stopping.

“It happens,” Booker said. “You just have to run it out and try to get on base any way possible. If that happens, I’ll hopefully beat the defense out and look for extra bases.”

The Sycamores (11-14, 0-6 MVC) came back with two runs of their own in the fi fth inning. With a runner on fi rst, Indiana State shortstop Megan Stone hit a grounder to her counterpart Jessica Davis, whose throw to fi rst sailed over fi rst baseman Meredith Hackett and into right field, scoring a run. Right fielder Brittany Sanchez overshot Cuevas on the throw home, allowing Stone to score on the ball she put into play and tying the game at two.

Illinois broke the tie with four more runs the next inning, highlighted by a two-run triple to center field from Sanchez.

“All game they were playing me in,” Sanchez said. “She threw a pitch up and I just took advantage of how shallow the outfielders were playing.”

“I’m excited about (Sanchez) as well,” head coach Terri Sullivan added. “We really think that Brit is a great offensive player. She hasn’t been doing what she wants at the plate or seeing the ball as well as she can. She came today really relaxed with a really good game plan.”

The Illini picked up another run in the sixth on a sacrifice fly from Cuevas that scored pinch runner Nikki Simpson .

Pepper Gay threw five innings for the Illini, striking out eight batters and walking three. Jackie Guy fi nished out the game, throwing two scoreless innings.

“We wanted both of our pitchers to throw a little bit tonight,” Sullivan said.

“Pepper really stepped up when she needed to, being a leader for our team.

I think Jackie came in and gave them a different look and kept them a little bit off balance. They teamed up to put together a victory and that’s what matters in the end.”

Illinois pitchers surrendered six hits and just one to the bottom six hitters in the Sycamores’ lineup. The two unearned runs in the fourth inning

In its previous three games, Illinois had averaged more than 15 runs allowed per contest. If Bradley thought it was playing the Illini at an opportune time, it was mistaken.

Illinois built a lead and was able to keep it, knocking off Bradley 6-3 in Peoria, Ill. “I was really disappointed in the last three outings,” Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb said.

“Our starters weren’t good, our bullpen wasn’t good, just a total disappointment. For the group to come out today and do a good job, hold Bradley to three runs, I was really pleased.”

game at Illinois State, the Illini (12-10, 1-2 Big Ten) plated runners in four of their first seven innings to mount a 6-1 lead.

Senior starter Nick Chmielewski righted the ship that carries Illinois’ pitching staff, throwing six innings of one-hit ball, allowing only a single unearned run separating him from a shutout performance.

“I just wanted to go out there, have fun and just compete, play like a little kid again and forget all the stuff that’s happened over the past couple days,” Chmielewski said. “The guys coming in after me too — no matter what, all our guys were attacking the zone and competing, which we haven’t been doing lately.”

Chmielewski, who last pitched on March 11, walked Braves leadoff man Chris Godinez but recovered quickly, retiring Godinez on a pickoff play.

Quick recovery was the theme for the Illini on defense Wednesday night, as they committed two errors, but both times retired the two subsequent batters to end the inning. Likewise, the Illini made sure home runs by Braves outfielders Max Murphy and Andrew Wasmund in the eighth and ninth innings were the only offense Bradley (11-10-1) produced in those frames.

Redshirt freshman Reid Roper closed the game, moving from second base to the pitcher’s mound in the ninth inning. Roper had hiccups at both spots, but

the team pulled together to get the win.

“Today I made an error, and the pitcher made a good pitch, got us the ground ball double-play to get out of the inning, so he picked me up there and that was huge,” Roper said. “Same thing, I gave up the home run ... and went right back to throwing strikes again, so I think that’s kinda the mentality you have to have.”

With the team’s home opener Friday against Mississippi Valley State, the Illini are satisfied to have put forth an all-around solid performance.

“Defi nitely an extremely complete game,” Chmielewski said. “I know we’ve had a few this year, but especially after the past couple days, it’s huge to have this.”

school that we haven’t. We’ve even sent kids to Penn State.

The kids that we’ve had at his program before have excelled and it’s going to carry on now to Illinois.”

Before any of his recruits make it onto campus, though, Bollant will have the larger task of turning around a team that went 11-19 last season. He has already identified the cur-

rent roster’s shortcomings — the same flaw he exposed in his matchup against Illinois last season.

“They were very athletic, but they weren’t a very good passing team,” Bollant said. “There were times when (Karisma) Penn was open inside and they couldn’t get her the ball. It doesn’t matter what offense you run, it’s only as good as your ability to pass

and shoot.”

Bollant admitted that he does not expect Illinois to have immediate success but believes that changing the culture in the program will lead to success on the court and, eventually, in recruiting.

“If we can become the 10thranked team in the country here, where we can go recruiting-wise is pretty exciting.”

WOMEN’S FROM PAGE 1B players are excited to play for Bollant after seeing his team in action this season.

“They were very intense,” Magrum said of the Phoenix. “We could tell they were very intense and very well coached. They play very, very aggressive and definitely played together as a team.”

In the Nov. 24 contest, Bollant said Law’s Illini struggled against his half-court trap and that they need to improve their mental quickness to pair with their athleticism.

“I think they’re physically as gifted as just about anybody in the Big Ten,” Bollant said. “We need to teach them to play quick mentally, and tomorrow we’ll be doing a drill, 2-on-2, that if you don’t play quick mentally, you’ll stand out like a sore thumb.”

Bollant will meet with assistant coaching candidates this weekend. He said he already has one meeting scheduled for Saturday night and mentioned his former

Reports surfaced Tuesday that Illinois and Groce came to an agreement and a press conference to introduce the new coach would happen that day but were quelled by the athletic department.

At today’s press conference for the hiring of women’s basketball coach Matt Bollant, Thomas ignored questions regarding the men’s vacancy. associate head coach at Green Bay, Mike Divilbiss, as someone he’d like to bring to Illinois.

“I’ll save a spot for him. He’s as good a teacher of the game of basketball as I’ve ever been around,” he said.

Bollant is optimistic about turning the program around but said he didn’t know when to expect results.

“It’s hard to know,” Bollant said. “Obviously, I would not have taken this job if I thought it was a four, five, six year process. I think it can be quicker than that. But I can’t make any promises to how quick.”

When asked if he can compete for national championships at Illinois, Bollant said it’s too soon to tell.

“I think it’d be foolish if I told you we’re competing for national championships,” he said. “Weren’t not. Next year, we’re not gonna win the national championship.

Our goal is to get better and then take it from there and keep taking steps. ... It will depend on how we practice and how good our cultures are.”

During 3-week break, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf looks forward to tournament season

BY CHARLIE MANIATES STAFF WRITER

Illinois womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf head coach Renee Slone feels confident that the team can continue to improve in its fi nal two tournaments before postseason play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every tournament so far this spring has been a building process,â&#x20AC;?

Slone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each week we continue to learn something new, as well as refi ne our skills.â&#x20AC;?

The team is currently in the midst of a three-week layoff after competing in the BYU Entrada Classic in St. George, Utah, over spring break.

Illinois finished fourth out of 12 and was led by senior Hailey Koschmann, who tied for second place individually. She finished three-over-par for the tournament, three strokes behind the overall leader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her ball striking was very good, she hit a lot of fairways even though the conditions for this particular course were very wishy-washy,â&#x20AC;?

Slone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She did a very good job of playing good placement golf and putting herself in the proper positions.â&#x20AC;?

Slone felt that the team as a whole could do better and plans on using this tournament as a learning experience because this course is important for the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very rarely in this game do you reach that point where there is something that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel you couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done better, but we did some very positive things in this tournament,â&#x20AC;? Slone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This particular golf course is great preparation for some layouts we will see later this season, specifically the Scarlet Course at Ohio State and French Lick Resort (in Indiana) for the Big Ten Championships.â&#x20AC;?

The Illini will compete next week in the Knights and Pirates Invitational in Melbourne, Fla. Before that, they will continue to regroup and refocus both on the course and academically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of at that midpoint of the spring season, and the next two months get to be a little hectic with our tournament schedule and the conclusion of classes,â&#x20AC;? Slone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to have a little bit of a breath-

er where they could focus on academics and some other things so for the last half of the semester everyone is full energized.â&#x20AC;?

With four events completed already in the spring season, the Illini have yet to finish worse than fifth. In addition, senior Nora Lucas and Samantha Sloan and sophomore Katelin Dilger have each been named Big Ten Golfer of the Week once this spring.

Dilger did not seem worried about what lies ahead for the Illini and denied feeling any pressure from postseason play, which begins at the end of April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach is always saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a marathon, not a sprint,â&#x20AC;? Dilger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we want to keep that in mind and just focus on each tournament as it comes up.â&#x20AC;?

She did, however, share the same optimism in the team for the rest of the season that Slone did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There have defi nitely been some things to build our confidence,â&#x20AC;? Dilger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having individual and team success always is a nice way to start the first half of the season.â&#x20AC;?

Former hockey player Nick Fabbrini named head coach for 2012-13 season DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

The new Illinois hockey coach will be familiar with his surroundings before his first day on the job.

On Wednesday, former player and assistant coach Nick Fabbrini was named as the new coach of the hockey club this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great opportunity for me,â&#x20AC;? he said of his decision to apply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The coaching thing kinda just made sense because I enjoy it. I like working with kids and the opportunity to give back.â&#x20AC;?

Fabbrini played for the Illini from 2005-08, was a member of the 2005 ACHA Championship team and a major contributor on the 2008 ACHA Championship team, which culminated in a perfect season.

But during his time with the Illini he said he did not think about coaching as much of a possibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was playing, I ran some summer camps and clinics, but to be honest, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think too far past playing while I was skating,â&#x20AC;? Fabbrini said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kinda thought about it but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t foremost in my mind.â&#x20AC;?

He joined the Illini as an assistant under previous head coach Chad Cassel for the 2008-09 season before coaching in the Chicago suburbs for the past two years. Cassel, who retired at the end of last season, called Fabbrini about

the opening and encouraged him to apply.

Now that he is the head coach, he wants to make one thing clear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really here to be (the playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) friend,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m their coach first. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here for any problem they might have away from the rink in that aspect. But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think my age should diminish their credibility with them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anything, it will help me relate to them,â&#x20AC;?

Fabbrini said.

Sophomore forward Eddie Quagliata said likewise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was in our shoes just a short time ago, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have a guy you can approach like that with any problems or questions,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Illini will have to transition from a coach who has been with them for about 15 years to a relatively new face and this means new workouts. As for one of the changes, Fabbrini looks to implement off-ice training in the coming weeks.

Sophomore forward Austin Bostock said while no one knows what to expect of Fabbrini as the coach, the hardest thing about transitioning coaches is learning their systems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before I came (to the University), I was coached a completely different way than Chad taught us, not necessarily a good or bad way but just different,â&#x20AC;? Bostock said.
