Provost candidates address UI community

BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER

MELANIE CHALLBERG THE DAILY ILLINI

U.S. Rep. Tim Johnson, R-15, smiles while addressing his decision to not run for reelection. Johnson was at Urbana City Hall on Thursday to explain his retirement after over 40 years of service. He stated he could not adequately serve the 15th district, continue campaigning and care for his family. “It would be a disservice to us all,” he said.

Johnson drops re-election bid Personal obligations cited as reason not to run 7th time

BY MATT RICE STAFF WRITER

At a press conference in Urbana on Thursday, six-term U.S. Rep. Tim Johnson, R-15, announced his decision to drop his re-election bid, saying he no longer wishes to make the personal sacrifices that come along with the office.

“Aside from the missed birthdays, births and weddings, there are some specific critical family issues that require my ongoing attention,” he said.

“Taken together, I cannot adequately serve the 15th District, campaign in the new 13th District, be in Washington, D.C. and fulfill my obligation to my family. It would be a disservice to us all to attempt that.”

The Republican has served in public office for 44 years, having joined the

Illinois General Assembly in 1976 and the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000. He has often split from his party to stick to his principles, including his harsh criticisms of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He said he is proud of being extraordinarily connected to his constituents.

“The single proudest thing I can look back on is the legacy of the fact that there is a real face associated with real public service,” he said, in reference to his relationship with his constituency.

His decision not to run leaves his ticket on the 2012 ballot for the 13th District vacant. Many names have been put forth as possible replacements, but so far any talk of a replacement is only speculatory. Johnson stated that he has a particular person in

mind to fill his spot but would not offer a name.

“I know them all (the potential candidates), and I like and respect them all,” he said.

Johnson said his decision to drop out of the race was unrelated to the possibility of losing his seat.

“If I felt we were not going to win the election, it would cause me a lot more angst about my decision,” he said.

Jon Schroeder, a local farmer and supporter of Johnson’s, was present at the announcement. He said he understands the politician’s decision.

“Speaking as a farmer, I appreciate his years of service for agriculture,” he said. “He will be missed, but there is an ebb and flow to politics.”

The 66-year-old Congressman said “three more years could be 50 percent of the rest of my life” and added that he was concerned by his colleague Mark Kirk’s recent stroke.

Johnson has made it clear that he does not intend to fade out of the public eye. His potential future endeavors include returning to practicing law

and perhaps even teaching. However, Johnson declared that he would never become a Washington lobbyist.

He said he worked well with people of differing beliefs throughout his career.

“I appreciate my friends, I appreciate people who have been my adversaries because quite frankly that’s the way the system works,” he said.

Johnson intends to resign at the end of his current term. At the announcement, he was surrounded by his tearful family members.

Johnson’s family supports his decision, said Buzz Johnson, the representative’s son.

“Today, our family emotions are excitement and happiness for our dad, and we support him 100 percent,” he said.

Johnson stated that his successor should be nominated by Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady some time after April 20. His successor will then have to face David Gill, a Democrat whom Johnson has defeated in three past races.

The fi nal three candidates for the provost position came to speak with the University community in a series of public forums.

The forums were vice president and chancellor Phyllis Wise’s idea and are a fi rst for the campus. Each candidate had 30 minutes to discuss their strategies for bringing change to the University as well as previous experiences that they believe will help them in the position. After the presentation, a Q-and-A was held for audience members.

Last week, Adam Gamoran, professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin and director of the Wisconsin Center for Education WATKINS Research, held his forum at the Knight Auditorium in the Spurlock Museum. He said he was glad to have a public forum and meet with faculty members.

“The position of provost is one that reaches all the different parts of the Uni- ADESIDA versity, and so it’s important that people have a chance to meet the provost candidates,” Gamoran said.

He added that his background from the positions he held at Wisconsin has helped him understand more about the University of Illinois.

“I served a very wide GAMORAN range of campus roles, so I think my experience in working at the campus level with lots of different schools and colleges would be an asset,” he said. “I have experience with fi nding creative solutions to the challenges that all major research universities are facing.”

The remaining two public forums were held this week on Tuesday and Thursday at 1:30 p.m.

Ruth Watkins, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, mentioned her achievements, which include providing more scholarships to students, increasing transfer students and creating more online courses for students.

Watkins emphasized the importance of collaboration while talking about her main philosophy.

“I try to put the focus on: how do I help people be successful, how do I help them raise up their scholarship and their research to the area and level that they want to, (and) let

Crime Alerts see substantial decline since last term STAFF WRITER

On Nov. 13, students, staff and faculty received an alert from the University Division of Public Safety regarding a shooting near campus that morning. Fast-forward to April, and no other Crime Alert has been issued since.

University Police have confirmed that since the November incident, the campus has not seen any crime warranting the mass distribution and activation of the University’s Crime Alert system.

According to the University Police Department’s archives, there have been no police reports in 2012, compared to 34 alerts issued in 2010 and 15 in 2011.

Capt. Skip Frost of the University Police said only “crimes of a certain magnitude” are published and released, such as armed robbery, sexual assault and aggravated battery.

“It doesn’t mean crimes aren’t occurring,” Frost said. “We do not report minor crimes to everyone.”

Lt. Tony Brown of the University Police said the department’s decision not to disclose these other minor crimes falls in line with the 1990 Clery Act. The Clery Act is a federal statute that requires all financial aid-providing universities and colleges to gather and disclose information regarding crime and safety on or near the school’s campus. However, Brown added that minor crimes are not required to

be reported in these alerts.

For those crimes, Brown said that it is up to a lieutenant or higher ranking department official to decide what gets distributed to Crime Alert subscribers. It all depends on crime patterns, the risks associated with not releasing information, whether or not the crime was an isolated case and how severe the crime was.

“We go more on a case-by-case basis,” Brown said. “We look and see if there is a pattern. Assaults, for one, happen very frequently on campus. But if it is an isolated incident, maybe just one person hitting another, if it appears it is just people getting into a fight, then we probably won’t report it.”

Drug crime arrests and theft cases are not reported with Crime Alerts, for example. In 2011, there were 247 drug crime arrests and 371 cases of reported theft.

According to the department’s security report and other departmental data, there was a decrease in almost every type of offense in 2011 compared to years past.

Burglary has declined every year since 2009, when 103 incidents were reported. In 2011, that number decreased to 35. Statistics for 2011 will be officially confirmed later this year.

However, he added, that does not mean crime now is nonexistent on campus.

Crime Alerts lower now than in previous years With the exception of motor vehicle theft, the number of criminal offenses reported by University police has decreased over the past few years. In addition, no Crime Alerts have been issued this year.

Note: 2011 statistics are not official. University police will unveil official data in the 2011 security report later this year.

Offerman, who appeared sans mustache, had not been back to campus since graduating with a fi ne arts degree in 1993.

‘Dare to Dream’ event addresses proposed building

BY THOMAS THOREN STAFF WRITER

An ongoing discussion regarding the feasibility of giving some cultural centers and gender and ethnic studies programs their own facility continued Thursday night. Nearly 50 students and faculty members attended the “Dare to Dream” event.

The talk began by dispelling several commonly held myths about the status of the project.

Isabel Molina-Guzmán, associate professor of Latina and Latino studies, said the proposed facility would not be a “multicultural center” in the sense that

it would lump all of the cultural centers into a single, merged unit. Instead, she said it would be a facility that allows the various centers and programs to remain distinct units with their own staff. The building would have the added benefit of physical proximity that “would allow for more opportunities for collaboration” between the cultural centers, and gender and ethnic studies programs.

Anna Gonzalez, associate vice chancellor for student affairs, said past concerns about this facility isolating and segregating the cultural centers are

mostly gone as the facility is now viewed as a good thing by most. She said this is in large part because of the quality and planned centralized location of the facility — the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Chalmers Street. She said the “world-class” building and easily accessible location would not make it “far away and hidden” from campus.

Even though everyone involved with the feasibility study agrees on the planned location of the facility, it could still change if a donor were to give funds for another building

in the same location, Gonzalez said.

However there are still some who remain opposed to the proposed collective cultural center.

La Casa Cultural Latina withdrew from the study in a December 14 letter to the University.

Later in the evening, MolinaGuzmán corrected other myths, such as the project already having money and plans to begin construction as early as May. She said there are not any funds for the building thus far.

At this point, architecture fi rm Moody Nolan, Inc. is only looking into the feasibility of

the project, not a fi nal design of the building, said Tony Battaglia, architect for Facilities and Services. This is more of a programming role than a design role for the fi rm he said.

“Programming is taking all the requisite spaces, functions, desires that all the stakeholders have and trying to compile them into a working diagram,” Battaglia said.

Molina-Guzmán said the architects and consultants are trying to help determine if it is possible to include all academic units and cultural centers in one space.

Next Thursday, April 12, the fi rm will present their preliminary ideas for the facility in the form of “thumbnail sketches,” said Ross Wantland, assistant director of the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations. These will be based on the Thursday discussion along with other talking points from feasibility study meetings held this past December.

Wantland said the April 12 meeting will be a “much more advanced” version of the meeting on April 5. It will run from 12:30 to 2 p.m. in the Colonial Room of the Illini Union.

Student group works to end sex trafficking

BY JENNA HOUCHINS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

After the second part of a campaign supporting human rights, the registered student organization International Justice Mission, or IJM, raised a total of $350 to help aid the cause.

The IJM sponsored fundraiser, Loose Change to Loosen Chains, ended Thursday after raising slightly more than $50 in spare change this week. On each day of the event, IJM members gave out free ice pops and iced tea on the Quad to those who donated spare change to help spread awareness about global slavery and sex trafficking.

“People are really generous,” said Steffi Chang, IJM member and junior in LAS. “I’m so blessed when people give us even a penny because I really believe any type of donation can really go a long way to help the cause.”

Donna Yeung, co-president of the Illinois chapter of International Justice Mission and senior in ACES, said she enjoyed spreading awareness through the fundraiser.

“The coolest thing is having people stop by and ask us what IJM is about,” she said.

Advocates for the RSO were prepared to inform students on the issues addressed by IJM. “We tell them what the money is for and if they’re interested, we’ll talk even more about sex trafficking and how it is a really fast growing criminal industry going on,” Chang said.

While some students only stopped by to donate, other students, like Seema Dave , sophomore in LAS, stayed to talk with IJM members about the issues and what the RSO is about.

“At fi rst I just stopped by to donate my extra change from lunch but ended up learning a lot about the issues,” Dave said.

In addition to collecting spare change, the fundraiser also attracted some new members to add to the RSO’s 20 active members and the 100 members on the official list, Yeung said. She said they are not only hoping to support the cause, but grow as an organization as well.

“People really do want to help out after fi nding out about what IJM does,” she said.

IJM will continue their fundraising efforts with other events this semester by partnering with other RSOs such as Liberty in North Korea, or LiNK, and the Human Wrong Initiative, as well as holding its annual benefit dinner on April 15th.

“We should be fighting for those who can’t fight for themselves,” Chang said. “IJM really believes in this cause and I really believe through our efforts and prayer it can be stopped.”

Invisible Children posts sequel to Kony 2012 video

BY JULIE WATSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO — A wildly popular Internet video turned African warlord Joseph Kony into a household name and boosted the international hunt for the brutal rebel leader. Can a sequel do more?

That’s the burning question for the small California advocacy group Invisible Children and its follow-up effort, “Kony 2012 Part II.” The Associated Press was given a copy of the sequel before its Thursday release.

Part II repeats some of the same slick, inspiring shots as the

OFFERMAN FROM PAGE 1A Patricia Lusk , IUB director and head of the special event committee, said Offerman came to campus as part of his college tour.

“As an alum, we defi nitely wanted him to come to campus,” Lusk said. “So we reached out to him, and he was very interested and excited in coming, so we’ve been negotiating with him ever since.”

She said promotion for the event did not begin until earlier this week, when his appearance became official.

Offerman performed to a crowd of about a thousand at the Illini Union, interspersing his comedy with original songs, which performed while he played acoustic guitar.

“There are similarities, but it’s nice to see that he’s not Ron Swanson,” said Colleen Daniel , University alumna. “It was nice to see a different side of Nick Offerman.”

original of a young global community mobilizing into action. But noticeably missing is the voice of the organization’s co-founder, Jason Russell, who directed the first video. Russell was diagnosed with brief psychosis last month after witnesses saw him pacing naked on a sidewalk in a San Diego neighborhood, screaming incoherently and banging his fists on the pavement. His outburst happened shortly after Kony 2012 thrust the group into the global limelight.

The sequel also lacks the kind of narrative that made the original unique. The fi rst Kony

Some of Offerman’s comedy toed the line between the religious and the risque. Tip No. 8 on Offerman’s list to achieve prosperity was to “follow Jesus Christ, if it gets you sex.”

Gina Yoo, freshman in LAS, said it was interesting to see the dirtier side of the television star.

“It just makes him seem a lot more worldly, a lot more experienced,” Yoo said.

“It’s interesting to see what perspective he has and how he actually knows a lot about the Bible.”

The comedian took time at the beginning of his performance to thank University professors Shozo S ato a nd Robi n McFarquhar, saying that he would not be where he is if not for their guidance.

“He referenced a lot of the classes we took in theater,” Daniel said. “I probably thought it was a lot funnier than some other people think because they didn’t know what he was talking about.”

2012 presented the global issue through a child’s eyes, with a discussion between Russell, who directed the video, and his young son Gavin about stopping the bad guys.

The latest video (http://apne. ws/HZvaiz) is a traditional — albeit hip — documentary that addresses criticisms fired at the San Diego-based nonprofit since its overnight launch to fame.

Among the complaints were that Kony 2012 was too American-centric, that the group spends too little money directly on the people it intends to help, and that it oversimplified the

CRIME ALERTS FROM PAGE 1A There are many factors that go into this decrease in crime, officials said. Frost said the installment of more than 500 cameras by the start of the 2011 fall semester is one main factor. These cameras, installed all across campus, are being noticed by potential criminals, he added.

“Most criminals, believe it or not, are shy in front of a camera,” Frost said.

Change in weather can also be a factor in crime. Brown said winter tends to bring crime down as more people stay indoors, but with a milder 2012 so far, he added that he appreciates the stillness in campus crime.

“Generally, spring semester tends to be quieter for crime,” Brown said. “Fall tends to be a bigger problem for us as the past few years were.”

This comes as good news for students and others on campus.

David Pileski, student body president, said the students he has

26-year-old confl ict involving Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army.

The original video drew some 100 million hits on YouTube, and likely will go down in history as a case study on what can go viral, says pop culture expert Robert Thompson. But the Internet is fickle, he said.

“The fact is, the story has developed in so many odd ways with all the controversy, and the sequel can’t really promise the bang of that first video — which is informing people of something they did not know before,” said Thompson, a Syracuse University professor. “Now we’re getting talked to are very happy with the current state of security at the University.

One of his first initiatives as president of the Illinois Student Senate was to create a safety committee to plan events and raise awareness about how to stay safe.

He said he considered it “a good policy move to start things off” during the first few weeks of his term.

“We’ve seen that University Police has truly done its best to ensure safety on campus,” Pileski said.

Sharon Lee, program advisor at the Illini Union Parent Programs, said she has not heard of any concerned parents who were put on the crime alerts Listserv. The lack of Crime Alerts has made many parents feel safe about what is going on at the campus, she added.

“Usually when there is an increase in crime, parents will call with concern,” Lee said. “But the fact that there are no crimes to report must be a good thing for them. Haven’t had any calls wondering whether the system is down.”

into the details, which is never that thrilling.”

But then again, Thompson added, what goes viral never ceases to surprise.

Ben Keesey, Invisible Children’s CEO, said the sequel was made in two weeks. The thinking, he said, was the organization needed to answer to people wanting to know who was behind last month’s Internet success that prompted a bipartisan group of 40 U.S. senators to back a resolution condemning Kony and had children around the entire country asking their parents to do something.

PROVOST FROM PAGE 1A my partners in on that effort ... (and) help me when I need it down the road?” Watkins said.

At Thursday’s public forum, Ilesanmi Adesida, dean of the College of Engineering, also talked about his accomplishments and spoke with the public about his vision for the position of provost. He said he was happy with how many people showed up to the public forum.

“We’ve done a lot of things in Engineering, but I see some of the things that we have done that can be taken to the next level and used to solve some of the critical problems we have on the campus,” he said.

“I want to see some of those things expand in other areas.”

The public can submit their comments on each candidate through an anonymous webbased form, which can be found on the provost search website.

VERONICA PHAM THE DAILY ILLINI

Your support makes it possible to run Daily Illini To create dialogue, we need your voice RYAN WEBER Opinions editor

“N

ewspapers are a dying industry” is the banner that flies in the face of every media outlet that has the fighting spirit to run the presses despite the dismal drop in the readership of traditional broadsheet newspapers, giving way to an increased online audience.

Just more than a month ago, news broke about The Daily Illini’s unfortunate financial state, which, to the delight of our staff, raised from the shadows support for the work we do here — alumni, faculty and even other universities voiced their concerns about our newspaper’s situation. Most importantly, we received, what I would call, overwhelming support from the students, concerned about the future of this publication.

We wouldn’t be here producing content five days a week if it weren’t for the University’s students. Everything we do, from writing, researching and reporting to producing and distribut-

ing this paper, is for our readers — the students.

Here, I speak for myself. Before arriving on campus, the utterance of “The Daily Illini” meant nothing to me.

I once read that two years from now, you won’t recognize yourself. Well, two years after sitting in my first lecture in Foellinger Auditorium, I find myself as the opinions editor. Everyone says it, but it’s true: Never would I have seen myself here.

Now that I am, I have a responsibility to you, our readers. In any newspaper, we columnists, bloggers and cartoonists have a special role of contextualizing news stories and coloring them a new shade. We take the news stories of the day a step further to argue their relevance and merit. Sometimes, a news story cannot speak for itself, so we give it a voice.

What is most interesting about being able speak where news cannot is that we can also listen in a way that news cannot. We want to hear what you have to say. We want a dialogue — for you to join the conversation.

As I move into the coming year as editor, I expect Opinions to continue to push what we have to say into the lecture halls, cafeterias and libraries in which you read us. Because even if newspapers are a dying industry, we, and what we have to say, are not going anywhere.

THOUGHTS ON THE SIDE

GUEST COLUMN

Health care another thing to worry about Time spent online can TOLU TAIWO Opinions columnist

I

n T-minus one year, one month and some odd days, I will be entering “the real world.”

Many of you know about my obsession with my quarter-life crisis and the indecision of my future, so I’ll spare you those details. Yet, beyond the search for a perfect graduate school and housing, I worry about one other pivotal thing: health care.

Yep, you heard right: I did say health care. I want to sleep at night knowing that if I break my arm fighting off a bear in the woods (yes, I do plan to be that awesome in my later years), I’ll be taken care of.

And with all the debate around the Affordable Care Act lately, I’m not quite sure that will happen.

For three days beginning March 26, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the constitutionality of the act. If found unconstitutional, several provisions, if not the entire law, will be cut. The Court will make a decision in late June, so I can already tell you which month will be a nail-biter for me.

True, there are some things in the act that don’t really concern me yet. Point: my eyes glaze over when I read “Medicare.” But the most important provision for me — and for all

of us students — is the individual mandate that will require all to get health insurance. There’s debate over whether the mandate is “forcing” us against our free will.

Now, let me be clear, I don’t like to be “told” to do anything. I cross the street when the stoplight tells me to wait, and I touch hot plates at restaurants when the waiters tell me to be careful. When I heard the government wanted to make me buy health care later down the road, my first thought was to barricade myself in my house and never pay taxes, Ron Swanson-style.

However, this is something that needs to be mandated to college students. Realistically, I’m the weird exception to

the rule. Most people aren’t thinking about health care now, and chances are they won’t be thinking of it right after graduation. But later, we don’t want to regret not purchasing insurance. It may seem intrusive, but it’s for the sake of our health.

Of course, there’s a reason the act doesn’t often cross our minds: We’re not “out in the real world” right now. We’re in the world of our parents’ health insurance and McKinley. Plus, the Act is long and, again, a lot of the provisions, while wonderful for us, may not kick in at this point in our lives.

But if by some reason, the whole law was shot down, one important provision — that we’ll stay on our parent’s health care about five years after col-

lege — will disappear.

You think it’s daunting to start paying at 26? Can you imagine doing so the second you graduate, without time to ease into it? I can. It’s my version of personal hell.

Maybe I’m just being paranoid. After all, Obama is apparently confident that the Supreme Court will back him up. Still, the individual mandate works. It may be a pain, but it’s going to force us to think into the future and protect ourselves from any mishaps.

We should be able to enter the real world somewhat confident in ourselves and our health: birth control, runny noses broken bones and all.

help fight world hunger T he United Nations has set eight Millenium Development Goals for 2015, and I took a class where we spent some time focusing on each of these goals. The first of them is to end poverty and world hunger. The United Nations’ goal to halve the proportion of people living in hunger is that which I am focusing. Over the past month or so, I have tried to raise awareness of world hunger.

I have talked to people by word of mouth, and I have created a twitter account, @ fiteworldhunger, The World Food Program sponsors Free Rice, a website that makes it so easy to make a difference internationally.

On this site, you can answer very simple questions, including English vocabulary questions such as “teacher means: instructor,” in which you donate ten grains of rice for every correct answer, via the United Nations World Food Program.

How many study breaks go by watching the same Youtube videos or by clicking on the same Facebook tab over and over? This is an opportunity to actually send food to those who need it and at no cost to you besides a couple clicks.

Certainly chronic hunger

is not as severe an issue in Champaign and Urbana as it is for those starving in developing nations across the globe, but there are local resources such as food pantries. I know that visiting a food pantry and donating food isn’t the simplest thing to do, especially with our busy schedules, but what is easy is staring you right in the face — the internet is such a simple way to make a difference.

The point is this: One in every four children under five is underweight in developing regions. The problem is worse in South Asia, where half of these children live impoverished. To think that you can make a difference while sitting at a computer, answering easy questions, is truly incredible. I didn’t realize these resources existed before, but it appears that the United Nations found a way to reach a generation addicted to Facebook and the Internet.

Even though 925 million people are projected to suffer chronic hunger this year, you can help make a difference and prevent it.

One in every four children under five is underweight in developing regions.

The problem is worse in South Asia, where half of these children live impoverished.

THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID

You’re already beautiful; now show the world your ‘naked face’ MELANIE STONE Opinions columnist

I

t’s no secret what’s in my bathroom drawer: makeup, a hair straightener, perfume, nail polish, lotions, a curling iron and much more.

I call these things my beauty essentials — tools of the trade that are important to girls everywhere.

Admittedly, I rely on these products, and I know I’m not the only one. Appearances matter, especially for women.

We work tirelessly to smooth our frizzy hair, achieve flaw-

less skin and seek perfection to no avail.

Two women, Molly Barker and Caitlin Boyle, are quite familiar with this primping cycle. The duo started “The Naked Face Project” a few months ago as a way to figure out the intention behind their beauty habits.

Barker and Boyle are no strangers to encouraging and empowering women. Girls on the Run, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping preteens gain self-respect through running, is Barker’s movement.

Boyle’s revolution is called Operation Beautiful, in which people post anonymous notes in public places in an attempt

to end negative self-talk.

“We said to ourselves, let’s Over the years, they kept just eliminate all of our primpgetting the same question: ing habits,” said Barker. “Let’s “Why wear go to the beauty makeup or coldesert, so we or your hair if can figure out we are beautiwhy we’re doing ful the way we these things.” are?”

her experience. “I love the things I’ve done with my life, yet I still have issues with my beauty and body and everything. It’s been an enlightening process.”

I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if the ladies of Chambana embarked on such a journey. Here, and on every other college campus, there is an obsession with physicality. We pile on mascara and curl our hair, and for what? To attract members of the opposite sex? To feel better about ourselves?

Perhaps Barker and Boyle are truly on to something.

If we attempted “The Naked Face Project: University of Illinois,” we could come one

step closer to understanding ourselves and our reasons behind all of these beauty habits. Getting our eyes off ourselves is by no means an easy task, but this project might go a long way when it comes to eliminating selfishness, vanity and narcissism.

“Just try it for two weeks and see what happens,” said Barker eagerly, excited to see her project reach a new audience. “For us, we began to feel free at that two-week point.

If you can get through two weeks, you’ll really reap the benefits.”

Two weeks. Au natural.

Girls, can we do it?

Rebel insurgent group calls for cease-fire in north Mali

DOONESBURY

GARRY TRUDEAU

BY RUKMINI CALLIMACHI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAMAKO, Mali — The rebel group that recently seized control of Mali’s remote north in a maneuver that effectively partitioned the country in two announced a cease-fire Thursday, saying they had reached their military goal.

Moussa Ag Assarid, a spokesman for the National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad, said the group was declaring the cease-fi re to allow humanitarian aid to resume in the north, where shops were looted.

In Ivory Coast, the military chiefs of the nations bordering Mali met Thursday to hash out their plan for a military intervention. Deputy Ivorian Defense Minister Paul Koffi Koffi said military action is being considered both to reverse the coup that deposed Mali’s president last month, as well as to preserve Mali’s territorial integrity after the rebel advance in the north.

He instructed the army chiefs of the 15 nations in West Africa to draft a detailed plan, including how many troops each intends to send, how quickly they could ready them and what logistical means they plan to contribute.

In Paris, Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said France is ready to help African forces on a logistical level. The chief of staff of the French army, Adm. Edouard Guillaud, traveled Thursday to Burkina Faso to discuss details with the president.

The rebels launched their insurgency in January, saying they wanted to establish an independent Tuareg homeland in the north, known as the Azawad. They only succeeded in taking small towns until March 21, when disgruntled soldiers stormed the presidential palace in the distant capital of Bamako, overthrowing the president.

Illinois gun laws fall short on promoting safety, audit says

BY JOHN O’CONNOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPRINGFIELD — State oversight of gun ownership in Illinois is “limited” in its ability to safeguard the public because of poor follow-through, inadequate collection of mental health records and tardy action on permit applications by “overwhelmed” Illinois State Police officials, an audit Thursday reported.

The state police program for issuing and monitoring Firearm Owners Identification cards falls woefully short in gathering court records on potentially mentally ill gun owners, confi scates only 30 percent of the FOID cards that police revoke and doesn’t report critical information to federal authorities required by a criminal background database, the report found.

Lawmakers ordered Audi-

tor General William Holland’s assessment last spring after the uproar caused by an Associated Press public-records request for names of the state’s FOID-card holders.

State police denied the AP inquiry, but the attorney general said the records should be released, prompting a successful Illinois State Rifle Association lawsuit and pushing legislators to ban disclosure but calling for a study to ensure there is proper gun-permit supervision.

“Our audit concluded that the effectiveness of the FOID card program is limited in promoting and protecting the safety of the public,” Holland wrote. Deficiencies in mental health reporting alone, he said, “seriously undermine the effectiveness of the FOID program.”

The state police largely agreed with the fi ndings and

said it is making improvements.

Spokeswoman Monique Bond pointed out FOID applications topped record levels during the period audited, 2008 to 2010 — about 300,000 a year.

Preview of New Art Film Festival showcases local filmmaking talent Annual event’s 3rd outing to showcase more documentaries

BY CHRISTINE BEDNARZ STAFF WRITER

The Art Theater and C-U Confidential hosted a preview event yesterday featuring local film artists in preparation for the third annual New Art Film Festival, or NAFF. Jason Pankoke, programmer of the event, said the festival is intended to help local filmmakers showcase their work and boost their careers.

However, he said this year’s festival will be different from previous years.

“This year will be a lot more eccentric, partially because there will be more documentary pieces,” Pankoke said.

Some of the films at the preview included a music video directed by Chris Eitel, of Urbana, called “Life Inside an Elephant”; a science fiction short directed by Chris Lukeman, of Champaign, called “Once Upon a Time in 1973”; a period short directed by Braden Boe, of Charleston, Ill., called “A War for II”; and a music documentary directed by David Gracon, of Champaign, called “Walls of Sound.”

“Walls of Sound” was shown in its entirety at the event, while only portions of the other films were presented.

The film features a record store in Eugene, Ore., that struggles to stay in operation amid the world of legal and illegal digital downloading, according to a press release.

Pankoke offered his insight on the connection between “Walls of Sound” and the purpose of NAFF.

“In the age of rapid downloading, people can definitely empathize with the plight of being an independent business person, which is also exactly why we do this festival, to help promote struggling local film makers,” he said.

The event also made it possible for Thomas Cord, a local film director and New York photographer, to debut his film “Riding Virginia.” The film includes a Champaign-based cast and crew selected by Brett Hays from Shatterglass Studios.

Pankoke said he along with the filmmakers have done their best to compile the best show for 2012.

“Several pieces are collaborations across campus,” he said. “The films take a lot of people pulled together to make ... the miracle of just getting it done and creating something worth showing.”

The NAFF will take place April 20 from 5 p.m. to midnight as a featured event of the 10th annual Boneyard Arts Festival. The complete list of featured films will be released Monday.

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — A Marine is facing dismissal from the military for posting Facebook images of President Barack Obama’s face superimposed on a donkey and for selling “Nobama” bumper stickers online, a prosecutor said Thursday.

Sgt. Gary Stein, 26, acted irresponsibly and disregarded repeated warnings that his anti-administration postings violated Pentagon policy involving members of the military, Marine Corps Capt. John Torresala said during a hearing at Camp Pendleton.

Comments that were prejudicial to good order and discipline were posted on the Facebook page used by military meteorologists and could have influenced junior Marines, the prosecutor said.

Stein’s security clearance was taken away and he has no future in the Marine Corps because he can’t do his job, Torresala said.

Backed by a team of lawyers and congressmen, Stein is fighting to stay in the military and test its longtime policy of limiting the free speech of members.

His lawyers and the American Civil Liberties Union contend his views are protected by the First Amendment.

Stein has rallied support since he was notified last month that the military was moving to discharge him after determining he was in violation of the Pentagon policy barring service members from engaging in political activities.

“The military may be different from the civilian world, but it’s not exempt from the First Amendment,” said David Loy, legal director for the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial counties. “Sgt. Stein didn’t say anything for which the Marine Corps has any right to punish him.”

The Marine Corps has said it decided to take administrative action after Stein declared on Facebook that he would not follow unlawful orders from Obama.

In addition to being discharged, Stein said, he would have his rank reduced to lance corporal if he is proven to be in violation.

He said he was removed from his job at the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot in San Diego on Wednesday and given a desk job with no access to computers.

Loy said Stein did not threaten order or discipline or take positions that anyone would attribute to the Corps.

Instead, the Corps is threatening loyalty and morale in its ranks by persecuting a Marine for exercising his free speech rights, Loy said.

Stein, a nine-year member of the Marine Corps, has said he started a Facebook page called Armed Forces Tea Party to encourage fellow service members to exercise their rights.

Defense lawyers began the hearing Thursday by asking board members about their understanding of military policy limiting members from engaging in political activities and the guidelines on expressing their personal opinions.

Police say Oakland shooter may have had multiple targets Hundreds gather Tuesday to mourn loss of 7 victims

BY TERRY COLLINS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEN MARGOT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mourners attend a memorial service at the Allen Temple Baptist Church. Several hundred people gathered Tuesday night for a prayer vigil for the victims of Monday's shooting at Oikos University, a small Christian school in Oakland.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Police said Thursday they were investigating the possibility that a gunman who killed seven people at a tiny private Christian college was seeking multiple intended targets in his rampage.

A day earlier, police said the apparent target had been the director of the nursing program at Oikos University.

However, Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan said late Wednesday the gunman had been seeking another female administrator, not the director of the nursing program.

Officer Johnna Watson, a police spokeswoman, would not identify the other administrator but said she no longer works at the school.

She did not clarify whether the nursing director could be among the group.

Summer classes Registration begins April 16.

Class sessions start May 21, June 11 and July 9.

“We’re still looking at if there were any other intended victims as well. That’s part of our ongoing investigation,” Watson said Thursday. “We’re keeping the investigation open for the possibility if the suspect was intending to harm any other administrators.”

Suspect One Goh, 43, has been charged with seven counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder, plus a special circumstance allegation of committing multiple murders that could make him eligible for the death penalty.

He did not enter a plea or make a statement during his first court appearance Wednesday.

Police said Goh acknowledged forcing a woman from her office at gunpoint into a classroom, where he fatally shot several people before fleeing in one victim’s car, according to a police affidavit.

Nursing student Ahmad Sayeed said a gunman burst through the back entrance of the lecture hall holding a terrified school receptionist hostage and began randomly firing. The receptionist, Katleen Ping, 24, was among the slain.

Police arrested Goh about an hour after the shooting spree at

a supermarket a few miles from campus.

In a Wednesday interview with The Associated Press, Oikos nursing director Ellen Cervellon said her conversations with several students and faculty members led her to believe the gunman was looking for her.

She said Goh had dropped out of the nursing program at the tiny private school around November and became angry when she told him the school could not refund all his tuition money.

Cervellon wasn’t on campus Monday when the rampage occurred. She did not return calls Thursday seeking further comment.

Investigators have said Goh was angry about being teased for his poor English at the school, which is focused on serving Korean immigrants but is attended by students from around the world. Victims of Monday’s shootings came from a number of countries, including Korea, Nepal, Nigeria and the Philippines.

Goh was born in South Korea but became a U.S. citizen, police said.

Sports Newly released Williams’ tape reveals more skeletons in Saints’ closet KEVIN THORNTON Sports columnist

of splitting time. “We’re good friends, so it’s really easy to cheer him on when he does well and I think vice versa for him.”

O’Toole threw for 270 yards, one touchdown and four inceptions while completing 40 of his 67 pass attempts as a true freshman. He said although his playing time was limited last season, the experience has proved valuable this spring.

don’t know if New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has any hobbies outside of football, but now would probably be a good time to pick one up.

On a day where Payton, general manager Mickey Loomis and assistant coach Joe Vitt were set to appeal their suspensions stemming from the bounty scandal, disturbing new audio of former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams surfaced.

While working on a documentary about former Saints special teams player Steve Gleason (suffering from ALS, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), filmmaker Sean Pamphilon was able to record a “please tell me you’re not recording this” type of speech given

by Williams. It was delivered the night before the Saints divisional playoff game against the 49ers this January — which the Saints lost anyway, go figure. Loaded with words you can’t say on television, Williams’ speech was probably a lot like many pregame pep talks, but way more incriminating.

Referring to 49ers running back Frank Gore, Williams said, “We’ve got to do everything in the world to make sure we kill Frank Gore’s head. We want him running sideways. We want his head sideways.”

When talking about backup running back Kendall Hunter, Williams continued, “Little 32, we’re going to knock the f*** out of him.” Despite sounding violent in nature, these comments and Williams’ use of the phrase “kill the head, and the body will die” wouldn’t shock many who’ve been in a football locker room before.

His speech takes a more serious tone, however, when talking about wide receiver Kyle Williams — who was then recovering from recent concussions: “That little wide receiver, No. 10 ... We need to f----- put a lick on him now.”

These words could be the figurative nails that shut the coffin on Williams’ NFL career, as Pamphilon told Yahoo Sports that he released the audio of the speech because of how uncomfortable Williams’ comments — specifically about Kyle Williams’ concussions — made him feel.

In my opinion, the most alarming part of the audio is when Williams talks about receiver Michael Crabtree: “We need to decide whether Crabtree wants to be a fake-ass prima donna, or he wants to be a tough guy. We need to find out. He becomes human when we f------ take out that outside ACL.” It’s one thing to tell your players to play physical and hit hard, but it’s completely different to encourage them to target another player’s knee — especially one with a history of knee problems — potentially ending someone’s career and taking food off his family’s table.

Technically it’s not against the rules to use a player’s injury history against them, but it’s definitely unethical. And although Williams never specifically mentions the bounty program, he repeats the phrase “I got the first one” while rubbing his fingers together, indicating cash payment, according to Pamphilon’s recording.

Making the situation worse, this speech took place about a week after the NFL reopened its 2010 investigation into the Saints’ bounty program, after team officials denied such a system existed.

It’s unclear if NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had heard this audio before handing down his punishment, but this recent public revelation is going to make it very difficult for Payton

Gymnastics sets bar high for regional competition JOSHUA BECKMAN THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Sarah Fiedler, competing on the beam above, and the rest of the women’s gymnastics team will host the NCAA regional competition at the Assembly Hall this Saturday. The Illini enter the field in the fourth seed out of six but aim to win.

BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER

After a week off from competition, the No. 22 Illinois women’s gymnastics team will host the NCAA regional competition Saturday for the first time in program history. The Orange and Blue enter the competition as the fourth seed in a six-seed field; however, it does not falter their confidence.

The Illini will welcome No. 2 Oklahoma, No. 11 Stanford, No. 14 Denver, No. 24 Kentucky and

Illinois-Chicago to the Assembly Hall.

“We know that we need to concentrate on ourselves,” Illinois head coach Kim Landrus said.

“We can’t worry about if we are first seed or sixth seed. We need to worry about one routine, one event, one skill at a time.”

The solid performance at Big Ten Championships by the Illini has helped bring momentum into the gym during practice. Senior Kelsey Joannides said the energy has risen in the gym although

the season is coming to an end.

“There’s days that we come in and we are tired; it’s been 13 or 14 weeks straight now, you’d think that we’d start to be a little more tired, but I think that we know this is the peak time,” Joannides said. “In your head, you don’t want to let yourself get down. You bring it every day knowing that this could be our last meet; this could be our last Monday practice or Tuesday practice. The energy is a lot better because we know what

we want to accomplish and we know what it’s going to take to get there.”

Unlike its regular routine, Illinois has had two weeks to prepare for the Champaign regional. As a leader, Joannides has been trying to keep her teammates focused during practice.

Illinois continues to build on what the team has been working on in practice all season long.

Men’s gymnastics gunning for 4th consecutive Big Ten title Illini reminisce on past Big Ten wins as they anticipate another title

BY EMILY BAYCI SENIOR WRITER

DARYL QUITALIG THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Paul Ruggeri and the rest of the seniors on the men’s gymnastics team will aim to claim their fourth Big Ten Chmapionship title this weekend in Iowa City, Iowa.

This year’s Illini seniors don’t know what it means to lose a Big Ten Gymnastics Championship. Every year of their college careers, Illinois has taken the conference title. This weekend at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa, the Illini are hoping for a four-peat.

“You really take ownership to know you have won four rings out of your four possibilities,” Illinois head coach Justin Spring said. “In essence, you can say that you’ve had a perfect Big Ten run.”

The championships are a far cry from what Illinois entered three years ago, on April 3, 2009, in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Illini were the underdogs and hadn’t claimed a Big Ten title in five years. They were trailing the entire meet and came back in the last rotation to share the crown with Michigan.

Track heads South for Battle on the Bayou Women’s track to face top-ranked opposition in La.

BY BOB MERLO STAFF WRITER

After taking home six event victories last weekend, the Illinois women’s track and field team will attempt to take its momentum south, competing against some of the nation’s top teams.

The Illini will travel to Baton Rouge, La., for LSU’s Battle on the Bayou. They will face the likes of No. 2 LSU, No. 10 Texas Tech and Big Ten foe Penn State.

With three competitive outdoor meets already under its belt, this weekend will provide the Orange and Blue with its best indicator of progress that the team has had all year.

“This is going to be our biggest meet of the season. We’re really expecting to go in there and get some personal bests and run fast,” head coach Tonja BufordBailey said. “The weather is going to be nice, competition is going to be great — this is really going to be our indicator of where we are and what we need to do in training, getting ready for postseason.”

All-American freshman Ashley Spencer looks to return to form this weekend after battling illness the past two weeks. She currently holds the nation’s fastest time in the 200 meters and will lead six other Illini competing this weekend.

“She’s still a little down, not at 100 percent, so we’re still going to work her through it though because she’s been out for a few weeks,” Buford-Bailey said. “She’s going to run the 200 again and an open relay, so we’re hoping she’s going to be back to where she was a month ago.”

Spencer took home the Big Ten indoor title in the 200 and was integral in Illinois’ title in the 4x400 meters as well.

The Illini’s success in indoors has carried over to the outdoor season thus far, and hopes are that it will continue.

“We came off of a pretty good indoor season, and everyone still has that momentum going, and we’re just ready to keep going and just get better and better,” sprinter Ashley Kelly said.

At this point last season, the Illini were coming off a disappointing seventh-place finish at Big Tens, and they were still practicing indoors due to the weather. This year, their fourth-place finish indoors and warm temperatures have them better prepared for meets like this one.

“I think the first two weekends were kind of like getting your feet back under you, getting used to outdoor track again, adjusting from indoors to outdoors,” Kelly said. “LSU is going to be more about just putting your race together, everything you’ve worked for in practice and really executing it against competition.”

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1B “As the season progressed last year, I got more and more comfortable,” O’Toole said. “Not only for me, but I feel like my teammates, they can see that I was somewhat successful in some games. Knowing that I can actually go out there and make plays, they can trust me.”

Beatty said O’Toole has improved as a leader and that he brings a positive energy to the team.

“He’s kind of infectious,” Beatty said. “Those guys, they like his personality. He gets excited. He hit a big ball yesterday and he was chest bumping everything.”

In addition to competing for playing time, Scheelhaase and O’Toole, along with Osei who has also been playing running back, have had to learn a new offense.

Co-offensive coordinators Billy Gonzales and Beatty have implemented their spread offense in spring practices, which Scheelhaase said is considerably different from what the Illini ran last season under former offensive coordinator Paul Petrino. Scheelhaase said the new offense emphasizes getting players the ball in space.

“Obviously that is just a different feel for everybody,” he said. “I think guys have seen what it’s been able to do as far as get them chances to make bigger plays and things like that.”

Scheelhaase said the Illini haven’t gotten too far into the intricacies of the system, as Beatty and Gonzales have opted to focus on the basics this spring.

“We need to get a whole lot better,” he said. “We need to learn a whole lot more, just the smaller parts, the fine details of what makes the offense really work. But I think guys can see that, can see the development that we’ve all had as far as what this offense has done.”

With the quarterbacks’ varying strengths and skills, Gonzales believes the Illini are very strong at the position.

“What we’ve realized is, son of a gun, we’ve got three guys that can run the offense extremely well,” he said. “Bottom line is you better be a great leader to play that position, plain and simple. No matter what offense you’re running, you better have great leadership skills.

“And all three guys have stepped up and done a fantastic job so far.”

The Illinois men’s track and field team will get a chance to see how it stacks up against some of the best teams in the nation this weekend.

In Baton Rouge, La., the Illini will compete in LSU’s Battle on the Bayou.

Among others, the Illini will battle with the likes of No. 2 LSU, No. 7 Texas Tech, No. 9 Mississippi State and No. 20 Iowa.

The meet will be the first of the outdoor season for All-American Andrew Riley, as well as for other top Illini athletes.

“With the competition this weekend, we’re really looking forward to this meet,” head coach Mike Turk said.

“Obviously, we’re going to have some top-level competition from across the country and it’s a great facility, the weather is going to be hot, and this is a great early season meet for us.”

“We’re going to be opening up with some of our guys that haven’t been on the track yet this outdoor spring, or guys that haven’t been running their main events,” Turk said.

The meet should provide the Illini with the benchmark they have been looking for, as their top performers will have an opportunity to see how they stack up against top-notch competition and see what needs to be done to improve.

“I’ll be looking back and comparing where they were at this time last year,” Turk said. “I know all indications have been that we’re a little ahead of where we were last year at this time, so I want to see that trend continue.”

Illinois women’s tennis eyes victory over Michigan, shot at Big Ten lead Illini hope to end Wolverines’ 3-year, 30-match winning streak in Big Ten play

BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

A battle against a top-20 team for a share of the Big Ten lead is the challenge that faces the Illinois women’s tennis team.

No. 19 Illinois (12-5, 4-1 Big Ten) hits the road this weekend to face conference-leader Michigan on Saturday and then Michigan State on Sunday. The Illini have won six in a row, four of them conference wins, a run that has propelled them to the national rankings. The No. 19 ranking is the fourth highest in school history — the highest was in 2004 when Illinois was ranked No. 16.

“We’re not going to change one thing,” head coach Michelle Dasso said. “We’re trying to keep things as consistent as we’ve been over this last month or so.”

The No. 15 Wolverines (12-5, 5-0) have also been hot, winning five straight matches. They have been a juggernaut in the Big Ten over the past three years, as they haven’t lost a conference match since March 29, 2009, where they dropped a 6-1 decision to Northwestern. The threeyear streak spans 30 matches, and their head coach Ronni Bernstein is 43-2 in her career in conference clashes. Both losses came against Northwestern.

“That can wait for NCAAs,” he said.

If the Illini win the NCAA title match, they will have won the first national championship for the program in 23 years and the first for Illini athletics in nine years.

That goal was not quite conceivable three years ago. If the Illini accomplish it, Spring said more intense emotions can be expected.

“There’s a lot of teams I was on where winning a championship, getting a ring is just an endless pursuit that never happens,” Spring said. “Having the opportunity to win four Big Tens in a row and a national title, it’s pretty unreal.”

Michigan State (8-8, 0-5) is in the conference cellar, having lost four in a row and seven of its past nine overall. However, it does boast an 8-4 record at home this year.

“I don’t really care what’s going on with any other team in the Big Ten other than the University of Illinois,” Dasso said.

Though the Illini placed fifth at the Big Ten Championships, they recorded their secondhighest score this season with a 195.850. The Orange and Blue plan to carry the momentum into

(suspended one year), Loomis (eight games) and Vitt (six games) to win their appeals.

Not only did they deny the program’s existence but continued its practice after multiple warnings by the league to stop. In addition to the suspensions, the Saints were forced to forfeit their next two second-round picks and fined $500,000.

Williams became a member of the St. Louis Rams’ staff before the penalties were announced. Goodell has since suspended him indefinitely from the league, and there’s no indication he plans to appeal it. Despite telling his players, “We don’t f****** apologize for how we’re going to play,” Williams has publicly apologized twice since the scandal went public. Now I’m not friends with Goodell or anything (yet), but I’ve got a good feeling Pete Rose will get into the Baseball Hall of Fame before Williams is allowed to coach another NFL team.

As far as Payton’s concerned, he should hope Bill Parcells wants to coach the Saints next year and find a good book to read — as it looks like he’s going to have a lot of free time on his hands for the next 12 months.

From the circle, Gay has thrown well in her last two outings, pitching 16 1/3 innings and surrendering just two runs but picking up two 1-0 losses. Her 1.74 ERA is good for third in the Big Ten. Even though it is the fi rst meeting between these teams that any of the current players will remember, the Illini see it as just another '()&*+,&'--.&&&&&&&&&&/+01&2&&&&&&& Big Ten series.

“We’re looking to welcome them into the Big Ten by showing them how the Big Ten plays,” Booker said. “And hopefully we’ll get a 6 8 couple wins on the weekend.”

Nebraska’s Bowlin Stadium is known for being a tough environment for road teams to play in.
