Resolving pension crisis top priority BY TYLER DAVIS STAFF WRITER

At Wednesday’s campus town hall meeting, Chancellor Phyllis Wise and Provost Ilesanmi Adesida addressed the “two elephants in the room” prior to discussing the state of the campus — state pension plans and the overall budget climate of the campus. As some of the changes from last fall’s pension reform legislation, SB-1, will go into effect as early as this year, Wise said she had a message for those affected: “From the Board of Trustees, to the president, to the provost and myself to all of the campus leadership, we are putting in a huge amount of time to try to figure out ways to mitigate and alleviate the impact of this (reform).” She added that resolving this pension crisis is one of the administration’s top priorities, as the University’s ability to recruit and maintain the best faculty and staff — “foundational to our ability to provide a world-class educational environment” — would be hindered without being able to provide a competitive pension program. Wise said the Board of Trustees has charged the administration with fi nding a set of alternatives for a sustainable supplemental pension plan to recommend to the board at a later date. Finance Professor Jeff Brown, head of the ad-hoc compensation review committee, presented a resolution at Monday’s Senate Executive Committee meeting that will be presented to the full Urbana-Champaign Senate at its meeting this upcoming Monday. The resolution, endorsed by SEC, supports the submission of a resolution to the Board of Trustees calling for the establishment of a flexible supplemental retirement system for all SURS-eligible University system employees. Wise also said she and administrators have been in “constant communication with legislative leaders,” adding that she, along with President Robert Easter and chancellors Susan Koch and Paula Allen-Meares of the Springfield and Chicago campuses, will meet with legislators Thursday. “In all honesty, both Provost Adesida and myself had hoped to be able to present you with very specific plans of what we were going to do (regarding pensions), and we unfortunately still don’t know the details of that and so I cannot do that at the present time,” she said. Richard Laugesen, professor and director of graduate studies in the Mathematics Department, asked Wise about the expected number of retirements this year, remarking that he has heard that the State Universities Retirement System is inundated with a record level of consultations to the point that they can no longer provide individual in-person consultations. Wise said that right now, she

ALMA’S HOME

After two years of repairs, Alma has been returned to campus just in time for graduation. BY CLAIRE HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

After a 610-day leave of absence, Alma Mater returned to a crowd of “happy children” surrounding her base. The corner of Green and Wright streets were blocked off with barricades Wednesday morning to keep admirers at bay, as the construction crew lowered her into place. The final cost of the conservation project was $359,212. It was paid for by alumni and the Chancellor’s Fund, a pool of money from private donors. Led by director Andrzej Dajnowski, the Conservation of Sculpture and Objects Studio, based in Forest Park, Ill., completed the conser-

vation efforts on the Alma Mater statue. Dajnowski’s team placed internal bracing to reinforce the sculpture as it sits on the granite base. Conservators also waxed the internal and external areas of the sculpture to seal the surface and prevent harmful oxidation. This wax seals in Alma’s new bronze color that audience members are still on the edge about. “I’m still getting used to (the bronze color) because it has been green for so long. But I think it looks nice,” said Andrew Jensen, senior in Engineering. “You can actually see a lot of the details now that I don’t think you could see when

it was that dark green.” He said he is excited to have Alma Mater back because he is graduating this spring. He was optimistic that she would be back in time for commencement, but he “was worried there for a little bit.” Clare Curtin, junior in Engineering, is a member of the 1867 Society and has been dressing up as the “Learning” portion of the Alma Mater statue for campus events since it left campus. She said she became so used to Alma being gone that she will be doing double takes for a while, but she is pleased with the changes. “I actually like (the bronze). I think she

Stabbing suspect, 16-year-old sophomore, taken into custody following attack at high school BY MOLLY BORN AND MARY NIEDERBERGER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

MURRYSVILLE, Pa. — Twenty people were injured — four critically — when a teenager wielding two 8-inch kitchen knives Wednesday morning attacked students at Franklin Regional Senior High School in Murrysville. All of the injured were students with the exception of an adult security guard. The suspect, Alex Hribal, a 16-year-old sophomore, was taken into custody after being wrestled to the floor of a school hallway and disarmed by a security guard and a school administrator. The youth was taken to the Murrysville police station, where he was questioned by officers and Westmoreland County detectives before being taken to Westmoreland Hospital for

minor injuries to his hands. After he was treated for his cuts, the suspect, dressed in a hospital gown and handcuffed, was returned to the police station. Wednesday evening, he was taken before District Judge Charles Conway in Export. Westmoreland County Sheriff Jonathan Held described Alex as quiet and said that the teen had not been talking to authorities since he was brought to the judge’s office. Murrysville Police Chief Thomas Seefeld said a motive is still unclear. “Initially, we don’t know what led up to this,” he said. A Franklin Regional student who said he knows Alex well, and who arrived at school after the incident had already began, said he was “shocked, surprised. ... I know him pretty well. ... I’ve

never seen any anger from him, ever.” The student, who asked not to be named, called Alex “sort of a shy person. To me he never seemed like someone who would do anything violent. He never seems very upset or anything of that.” He said Alex’s interests include “hockey, video games, things like that. ... He would always share funny photos that he found on Facebook.” The attacks began before classes started Wednesday morning in a classroom in the school’s science wing when the suspect pulled out two large butcher knives and started slashing and stabbing fellow students, said Mark Drear, vice president of Capital Asset Protection, which provides security guards for the school.

Most of the injured were students. Terrified, the students, some of them wounded, ran from the room with the suspect chasing them down the hallway in a chaotic scene. While running, he stabbed and slashed at other students who had been standing

Hawks make Illinois their new home Up to 2 species of hawks have been nesting in the area BY AUSTIN KEATING STAFF WRITER

Back in the ‘80s, Avian Ecologist Mike Ward would look up to the sky near his home in Springfield, peering out for a specific type of bird — the Cooper’s Hawk. But he rarely ever saw one. Now he sees one everywhere he goes. A Cooper’s Hawk is nested across the street from his house and nearly every day, he spots one outside of his office window on the fourth floor of Turner Hall. Apparently, these birds have made a major comeback since the ‘80s, even in urban settings, said Ward. And it’s not just avian ecologists who are noticing this. A pair of hawks have set up a nest in the middle of Champaign local Sue Anderson’s backyard in a big oak , and have since become the block’s new buzz topic. “It draws neighbors together and we’ve had several group conversations to figure out what they are,” Anderson said. “Sometimes we just watch them. It’s kind of fun.” The hawks have been narrowed down to two species: they’re either Cooper’s Hawks or Northern Harriers. Regardless, Anderson’s next-door neighbor, University graduate student Paul Littleton, says he’s “honored” to have the hawks nest near his home. “There’s habitat available in our neighborhood that’s suitable for the hawks,” he said. “It’s just a reflection on the environment.” Ward, who works at the Illinois Natural History Survey and serves as an associate professor at the University, said historically, Cooper’s Hawks have been persecuted by humans. “Back in the ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s, when peo-

ple had chickens in their backyard, people would typically shoot Cooper’s Hawks to keep them away,” Ward said. “So at some point in time, there was obviously some pressure for Cooper’s Hawks not to be in towns.” This was true even as far back as 1906, when a University alum, Alfred Gross, conducted a survey of the hawk in Illinois. “90 percent of damage done by hawks may be properly accredited to (the Cooper’s Hawk),” he wrote in his notes. “And with his perverted taste for chicken, (the hawk) becomes a menace to the country.” The data Gross and his team collected showed low levels of the Cooper’s Hawk, and these low levels persisted throughout most of the century. Ward said this was most likely due to the persecution. Then an insecticide known as DDT came along. Ward said it reduced the calcium in bird eggs so that during incubation, many would crack. “It didn’t help,” he added. But come 1996, the population began to bounce back and the Illinois Endangered Species Protection Board took the Cooper’s Hawk off the endangered species list. “The first nests I saw were in suburban forest reserve types of places,” Ward said. “Then they quickly started showing up in people’s back yards. And so, I think they just figured it out, I mean why not nest in somebody’s backyard?” He added that as communities in Illinois matured, so did their foliage — like the large Big Oaks in Anderson’s yard. “Our urban areas are much more similar to forest habitats than they were years ago. And so as these trees get older, there’s

essentially a forest community without the understory,” he said. “It’s ideal for Cooper’s Hawks and other raptors as well.” Anderson began to notice an influx of hawks in Champaign-Urbana around five years ago, but now that a pair has moved into her backyard, she has mixed feelings. “On the one hand, any type of large bird is an amazing creature,” Anderson said. “On the other hand ... it may keep other birds out of my yard.” Birds, like Mourning Doves or Robins, that would normally come to Anderson’s bird feeder might shy away from the area because the hawk is their predator. And the recent societal drive to naturalize urban areas, Ward said, is partially why the hawk populations are increasing. “A lot of people plant native plants, they leave a little area in the back for the birds and the mammals and stuff,” he said. “It was not too surprising that if we want all these small birds, obviously their predators are going to come along.” And the Cooper’s Hawk, Ward said, is just t he first. He predicts that Red-shouldered Hawks, Merlins, and eventually Swallow-tailed Kites, will see an increase in population. Ward said that Champaign-Urbana hasn’t really reached “saturation” yet, meaning the area hasn’t reached its limit on predator birds. But when saturation does occur, hawks will meet a kind of equilibrium due to their fierce territorial nature. “If you don’t have a hawk around your neighborhood, you will soon.”

He immediately ran into the hallway where he confronted the suspect, who lunged at him with the knife. The security officer took him to the ground and assistant principal Sam King jumped in as well.

Near the bus terminal in downtown Champaign, a first-year Cooper's Hawk stations itself on a chain linked fence. arm the suspect as the police officer arrived and handcuffed the attacker. The initial security guard who confronted the suspect realized he had been stabbed at some point in the abdomen near the rib cage, possibly during the initial lunge. Drear said he is expected to recover from the injury, which was not life-threatening. Ian Griffith, an 18-year-old senior at Franklin Regional, said he was inside the school when he walked down the stairs and saw King with the stabbing suspect. He said he saw the student stab the school security guard. King jumped on the student and Griffith said he then

he jumped on top of the pair. Griffith said he tried to hold down the suspect’s hands and arms and King told him to go fi nd an ambulance. Griffith went to fi nd help and said that when he returned other staff members were helping to keep the suspect contained so he went out to the field where students were gathering. Superintendent Gennaro Piraino said the district’s thoughts and prayers are with the injured and those affected by the incident. “I pray and we pray every day that this doesn’t happen in any school,” he said. “The actions and response of our staff, students and local law enforcement officers saved many lives.”

TOWN HALL and the provost do not know how many people are expected to retire this year. However, they do know that, due to the uncertain future of pension plans, “an awful lot of” retirement-age faculty and staff are making plans and trying to make decisions over the next month or two, which is why it is important for the administration to gather as much information as possible. “Because you’re right — we might face a larger than normal number of retirements this year,” she said. Adesida also emphasized the importance of the University’s continued commitment to remain competitive with its peer institutions in terms of faculty recruitment and retention.

In regards to the current proposed state budget under discussion in Springfield, Adesida said that Easter, Wise and the other campus’ chancellors have been in regular contact with legislators and have made repeated appearances before legislative committees to make a case for continued state investment in higher education, and in particular, the University of Illinois system. Adesida added that legislators have made clear the dire consequences of a possible 12.5 percent budget cut that has been discussed — a budget cut that would reduce University funding by nearly $83 million. “At the moment, we are cautiously optimistic that such a lack of (funding) might be avoided,” he said. He added that the state’s current proposal would add $50 million to the state’s Monetary

ALMA beloved statue, was not the same for some of her friends who graduated last spring. She said it is an honor and a pleasure to portray the iconic statue, and she hopes she lives up to the image expected of Alma Mater. “I have a lot of friends who are underclassmen who don’t even know who Alma is or what she looks like. So just having her back, I know, will add to the environment of what it means to be an Illini,” Chan said. There was only one problem during the delivery, said James Lev, a member of the Alma Mater conservation committee. The new bolts pull the statue together tighter than the old bolts did, he said, which created a problem because it pulled up the front of the statue, making the bottom uneven. But, he said, the team fixed the problem and the

statue is now sitting correctly on the base. As Alma Mater was lowered into her place on the stand, the crowd clapped and the bells of Altgeld Hall Tower rang out the Illini fight song and other Illini-themed songs. “It is quite a responsibility to feel responsible for (Alma Mater) being gone and just making sure that the whole trip, the whole journey is over with and she is back,” Lev said. He said he trusted the Methods & Materials crew who lifted Alma Mater and was not worried about the statue once it made it back to campus. But, he added, he was worried about the statue coming from Chicago on the interstate, especially when it went under bridges. Jennifer Hain Teper, chair of the Preservation Working Group, said it is great to have Alma Mater back on campus, but the conservation process does not stop here. “We are hoping to go back to campus and

say, ‘OK, we tackled what is hopefully the biggest and most expensive one, but it is by no means the only one,’” she said. She said she hopes this process raised awareness for the other pieces of art on campus, some of which are in bad shape and in need of attention. Christa Deacy-Quinn, a member of the Preservation Working Group, said she is thankful to the Chancellor and the Chancellor’s Fund for making the restoration process possible. A re-dedication ceremony is being planned for June, around Alma Mater’s 85th birthday, Deacy-Quinn said. “I am really excited to have everybody get behind this project and realize that preservation is really important,” Deacy-Quinn said. “I am just really happy.”

Supreme Court ruling evokes artificial sense of campaign fairness

L

ast week, in its 5-4 ruling in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court held that aggregate caps on individual campaign donations violate the First Amendment and are therefore unconstitutional. Prior to the ruling, an individual donor could spend up to a set limit during a given two-year election cycle across candidates, national party committees, state party committees and political action committees (with individual restrictions for each subset). The ruling did not remove limits on per candidate or per committee giving, although Justice Thomas’ concurrence strongly hinted their days might be numbered, as well. Still, now that the aggregate cap has been removed, individuals are no longer limited to giving only to a specific number of candidates or political entities, and could conceivably exert influence over a wide swath of political races, which is great news — for the few that can actually afford to do so. And therein lies the potential for problems. In Buckley v. Valeo, the Court first gave credence to the notion that money equates to political speech, which is protected under the First Amendment. In the McCutcheon majority’s view, aggregate limits on how many candidates or committees a person can support stifle one’s ability to make his voice fully heard on policy matters they care about. However, aggregate limits also serve as a means of leveling the playing field for all participants in the political process. Politicians make sport of raising money, they seek out those that can bankroll their campaigns; and with good reason, the price of winning — especially at the federal level — continues to soar. Money is a powerful deterrent to potential challengers, and it provides candidates with a means to saturate relevant media markets with their name and brand; money, in many respects, often does buy votes. When a limit exists on how many candidates any one person can give to, it gives incentives to politicians to reach to a broad base of people, which in turn, causes them the need to solicit and account for a wider range of interests. In the wake of the McCutcheon ruling, however, there comes a greater incentive for politicians to flock to those political donors with large stores of capital. Consequently, politicians could find it advantageous to adopt the narrowed views of select big spenders with the means to contribute in order to curry their favor instead of dipping into a more comprehensive pot of people with arguably less dough. The ruling may be premised in ensuring free speech for all, but its effects will certainly only be felt by a very select few. In the 2012 election cycle, less than half a percent of Americans gave political contributions of $200 or more, yet those donations accounted for over 60 percent of the total money raised. Consider college graduates and the large chunk of Americans who are in debt. Few, if any of us, will have the means to donate any substantial amount of money in the near future to political campaigns. And what additional value does this “free speech� ruling give to individuals of low-socioeconomic statuses’ voices? None. For most in this country, the ruling does nothing more than stoke an artificial sense of fairness, while exuding anything but.

Editors at Rolling Stone might be embarrassed to put their John Hancocks on the April 24 issue of the magazine. Ironically, that’s exactly what the cover features — the autograph of Hancock, whose name is often used synonymously with the word “signature� and who co-signed the Declaration of Independence. Rolling Stone attempted to depict the U.S. Constitution on a naked Julia Louis-Dreyfus (think Elaine from Seinfeld), who stares from the cover. But the magazine flubbed by including Hancock’s moniker above the actress’ tailbone, even though his signature is nowhere to be found on the original document. Nice try, guys.

Banning Chief representations violates freedom of speech STEPHANIE YOUSSEF Opinions columnist

On

April 3, a University student wrote a provocative public letter against the University detailing her on-campus experiences as an indigenous student and posted it online. Even after the University retired Chief Illiniwek as a symbol, in the letter, the student demanded that all portrayals of the Chief by students be banned on campus by the University administration. Beyond the disrespect the student said she feels and the controversy behind the representation of the Chief, the letter brings to light an important oversight common with current controversial social issues: This student, and many Americans in general, fail to recognize the definition and importance of freedom of expression. Examples of social issues that also illustrate this failure are the recent controversies surrounding pro-traditional marriage representations by the CEO of Mozilla, Brendan Eich, “Duck Dynasty� star Phil Robertson and Chickfil-A president Dan Cathy. Their shared opinions about marriage have been met with more than just critical reception. Members of the movement for marriage equality — which grounds its principles on being more

accepting and tolerant of the LGBT community — were intolerant of these men’s views and tried to silence them. Whether you agree with their opinions, everyone must fully recognize the fact that when Eich, Robertson and Cathy expressed their views, they were exercising their constitutional right to speak their minds. Opposition can use freedom of expression and voice any disagreement, but it is illegitimate to react with a witch-hunt designed to keep these men from stating their beliefs — no matter how insulted or disrespected their views may make you feel. The United States Constitution does not guarantee the right to not be offended. You are not entitled to restrict others’ freedom of expression — regardless of how personally upset you are. It is an irrefutable element of the Bill of Rights that is crucial in maintaining the freedoms this great country was founded on and the freedoms we still value today. Similarly, you cannot twist general statements listed within the University’s student code to infringe on students’ constitutional right to self-expression. Chancellor Phyllis Wise, the Board of Trustees, the Office of the Dean of Students, the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Access and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the individuals and groups this student’s letter is targeting, are not responsible for the

remnants of the Chief on campus because all clothing shops and registered organizations directly affiliated with the University have already stopped using the Chief as an official mascot. If the University — a public institution receiving subsidized taxpayer funding — tried to ban any form of self-expression on campus, the United States Government would most likely intervene. To say that Chief Illiniwek, a symbol that the University administration has retired, still exists on campus due to the pressures of wealthy alumni or supposed insensitivities toward minority groups is emotional speculation. There is a long history of lawsuits against codes of conduct that restrict freedom of expression because courts rightfully uphold individual rights. In the 1971 case, Cohen v. California, the Supreme Court upheld Paul Cohen’s right to wear a shirt saying “F--- the Draft,� overturning an appellate court’s ruling that his shirt “maliciously and willfully disturb[ed] the peace.� In the 2003 case, Barber v. Dearborn Public Schools, Bretton Barber won his right to wear an anti-George W. Bush shirt in school, despite allegations by the school administration that his shirt promoted terrorism and violated their school code. This is not to say the Constitution restricts you from reacting to something you find personally offensive.

You have the right to try to shed light on the issue and start a movement away from offensive practices. A good example of this — which the student who authored the letter could learn from — is the R-Word movement, which campaigns against the use of the word “retard� in a derogatory manner. The campaign does so by spreading awareness through social media, asking people to pledge against using the word and supporting its mission’s cause with evidence as to why the word is hurtful. The campaign’s mission is not to make it illegal to use the word — doing so would be a violation of individual rights. With the way the campaign carries its mission, it achieves respect by making its pledge a personal choice as opposed to a forced one. I strongly value my right to speak my mind, regardless of the public’s reception. My individual rights stay with me wherever I go — they cannot be taken away just because I cross campus boundaries, for example. Restricting my ability to exercise my freedom of expression on campus by banning Chief Illiniwek clothing because it may offend others is unconstitutional and should be rejected by every student.

‘Walk A Mile’ aims to promote awareness about sexual assault BY RAYMOND SOBCZAK STAFF WRITER

The sound of galloping heels will soon strut across the Quad. Students, faculty members and community members will whoop and holler as the ninth annual “Walk A Mile” event begins. On Friday, an estimated 500 men will gather on the Main Quad at 5 p.m. to walk four laps around the Quad while wearing heels. The event is free for participants and is open to the public. “The program wants men to literally ‘walk a mile in someone else’s shoes,’ to understand where (women) are coming from,” said Anna Kaszuba, sophomore in LAS. This year, the event is called “Walk A Mile” rather than “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” to promote gender-inclusiveness and gender-neutrality, according to Molly McLay, assistant director of the Women’s Resource Center. In accordance with the event, Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council donated a combined $1,000 to the Rape Crisis Center and others can donate there too, Kaszuba said. Matt Stein, sophomore in LAS, will be attending for his second year. “Last year, my brothers and I went just to show our support, then I decided I would help organize things and volunteer for the organizations that sponsor it,” Stein said. The Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council, Black Greek Council, United Greek Council, Campus Union for Trans* Equality and Support (CUT*ES), Illini Art Therapy Association, Fraternity & Sorority Affairs and the Women’s Resources Center are all organizations on campus that are sponsoring the event. Stein also said that he is looking forward to this year’s event because he and his fraternity brothers are participating in it

again. Although the event might be a spectacle to witness, there is a deeper meaning associated with it. “Walk a Mile” is an national campaign that seeks to raise awareness and spark conversation about male-sexualized violence against women. However, McLay said the event also creates a community for victims of sexual assault to turn to. McLay said because the event garners a lot of attention and brings a large audience, students may feel more comfortable identifying with others through shared experiences. Megan Pagel, FYCARE graduate assistant, got involved in work revolving around sexual assault because it is an issue that affects a lot of people, and many people may not know what it is or may believe myths about sexual assault. “My aim in doing this work is to educate others on what sexual assault is and the importance of the issue and encourage others to intervene if they see a potentially violent situation,” Pagel said. “I’d like to motivate people to speak up about this topic, even if you don’t know a survivor

personally.” The University has been participating in the event for the past eight years, so this will be its ninth year. “Some people don’t realize how much of an impact sexual assault makes on this campus,” Stein said. According to the University of Illinois Women’s Resource Center, one out of every six, or 17 percent, of University female students will experience sexual assault and only 5 percent of these women report the assault. In the United States, someone gets raped every two and a half minutes. The organizations created a slogan to help promote Sexual Assault Awareness Month: “I STAND with survivors against violence and to end rape culture.” “Sexual assault happens to people of all ages, races and classes, which is why it’s really important that one speaks up when they hear a rape joke or steps in when they spot a situation that could be dangerous,” Pagel said.

LOS ANGELES TIMES

SAN FRANCISCO — At 6 feet 4 inches, JR Curley is used to getting noticed. Just not like this. Ever since he got a pair of Google Glass in November, he has been turning heads at the grocery store, in restaurants, on the street, even at Disneyland. People approach him all the time to ask about his headmounted, Internet-connected computer, which is worn like a pair of glasses. He spends so much time letting them try on Glass that his wife has begun referring to herself as the “Glass bystander.” For all the controversy Glass has generated for its ability to take pictures or fi lm video with a simple gesture or voice command, Curley says the attention Glass gets on the streets of Los Angeles has been positive. Not once has he been asked to take off Glass in an establishment and no one has expressed discomfort that he might be taking photographs of them or video recording them, he said. In fact, he’s the one who has had to get accustomed to people whipping out their smartphones and taking pictures of him without first asking permission. “As with any new technology, the more people have it, the more it generates a broad understanding,” said Curley, 41, a design studio director of an accounting fi rm who lives in Manhattan Beach, Calif. Curley and dozens of others who are early testers of the device report little or no backlash from the public. In fact, they say a series of high-profile yet isolated incidents have given Glass an unfair rap. Glass users have been tossed from movie theaters. The device has been banned in bars, restaurants and casinos. A San Diego woman was pulled over for driving with Glass, and a few states

are considering banning drivers from using Glass out of concern that the small screen will distract them on the road. One of the most notorious incidents took place in a San Francisco bar in February when social media consultant Sarah Slocum said she was attacked for wearing Glass. Despite allegations from bar patrons, Slocum denied surreptitiously recording anyone there. But court records show that in 2012 her neighbors got a restraining order against her for crouching outside their open window and recording them with her smartphone. All of which has raised the question: Is Glass really about to strip away the last shreds of privacy, as some people suggest? Glass users chalk up any anxiety to a natural fear of the unknown. They say that fear will subside when the technology is in more hands and the social norms have been sussed out. Besides, they say, there are far less expensive and more effective ways to covertly record someone than wearing a computer on your face. Andrew Barash, 33, a software developer with OpenTable who lives in Marin County, Calif., says he has yet to have a negative encounter while wearing Glass. People who run into him in store aisles occasionally joke with him: “Am I being recorded?” “I say, ‘Yes, there’s a security camera right over there,’ “ Barash said. Mostly, he said, “people are excited to see it and try it. Once they see it in person and how it works, it generally dissipates any concerns about recording.” Google is betting that Glass _ the most hotly anticipated technology since the iPhone and the iPad _ will lead a revolution in wearable devices that will change how people interact with technology _ and one another. But first it has to win over the public. Curley is just the kind of poster child Google wants for Glass.

He wears it between six and eight hours a day to send text messages to his wife, take photographs and videos of his two daughters, and look up directions. He even taught his 3-year-old to take pictures with it. When his Glass broke and he was without it for a few days, he could not bear to pull the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 out of his pocket. “I can’t imagine my life without it,” he said of Glass. Even with those kinds of testimonials, Google has been rolling out the device slowly and cautiously. The Internet giant plans to begin selling the device later this year. With controversy mounting over Glass in recent weeks, Google has gone to great lengths to educate the public about the device. It recently put out basic etiquette and safety tips for Explorers, reminding them to be respectful and to ask permission before taking photos or filming, just as they would with a smartphone. It also tried to debunk the “top 10 Google Glass myths.” “Glass is new and very few people have the device, so we wanted to help people better understand how it works,” Google said in an emailed statement. It takes time for society to adjust to any new disruptive technology, said Matt McGee, founder of the news website Glass Almanac and a Glass wearer. He likens recent debates over Glass to early objections to the use of cellphones in the 1980s and 1990s. But he also says it may take years for Glass to be fully embraced, just as smartphones had to prove their utility and come down in price before overtaking cellphones. “We have to be cognizant that maybe it’s not smart to wear Glass in certain situations. Maybe we do need to leave it at home sometimes,” McGee said.

usic without instruments, choreographed dance sequences and matching ensembles take center stage Saturday as a cappella group No Comment puts on their spring show, “A Cappella Extravaganza,� or AcX. This year will be the tenth anniversary of AcX and will take place at Lincoln Hall Theater. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the show will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets will be sold on the Quad and can also be purchased at the door. It is $10 per ticket and $7 for University students. This year’s AcX will be a comeback show for their decade anniversary. Last year’s performance was pushed to the summer due to No Comment’s illustrious competition season. The group made it through regional quarterfinals and semifinals to represent the Midwest in New York at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA) finals last spring. With all the success they were receiving during competition season, No Comment was unable to find the time to put together a spring show and pushed it to the summer, resulting in a smaller turn-out. This year, however, they are expecting a large audience. The show will consist of No Comment performing all the songs on their repertoire. There will also be guest performances from another University a cappella group called Chai Town and another group from St. Louis University called Beyond All Reason. During the show, No Comment will have three costumes changes, and in between each change,

Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity’s contributions to the Champaign-Urbana community range from assisting at nursing homes to participating in the Books to Prisoners program. But, for the first time, the fraternity will host a 5K to benefit the Special Olympics as well. The 5K, titled “Running for the Gold,� will take place Saturday at 8 a.m. The course will begin at 1800 S. Lincoln Ave. in Urbana near the University Arboretum. Individuals can register for the event online, and the cost is $20 to enter. Joel Sarmiento, event chair for the fraternity and sophomore in Engineering, said the event is exciting for the fraternity as it begins to take on new projects to support the Special Olympics. Sarmiento said this will be one of the few philanthropic events the fraternity has hosted on campus in recent times. “Alpha Phi Omega is a national fraternity,� Sarmiento said. “Some people believe that us being a service fraternity means we’re a lot smaller, but we’re a national fraternity and we’re centered around service ... Alpha Phi Omega usually performs about 30,000 hours of community service per year.� Vikram Reddy, former chapter president and junior in Engineering, said the event will differ from the “service-oriented actives� that Alpha Phi Omega usually puts together. Reddy said the project has been a long time in the making. “This project has theoretically existed for the past four semesters, so I’m really excited,� he said. According to Reddy, Alpha Phi Omega has been working on this project over the past year and wanted to pick an event that was focused on its cardinal values of leadership, fellowship and service. Reddy said he thought a 5K would be something a wide variety of students and other community members could participate in. Priyal Amin, co-chair of the event and sophomore in LAS, said the event’s proceeds will benefit the Special Olympics. “We opened it up to the whole chapter, and after discussing, we all felt some sort of passion toward the Special Olympics,� Amin said. “This was something we are passionate about.� Proceeds will go directly to the local chapter of the Special Olympics in Champaign, according to Amin. Alpha Phi Omega has donated its time and services to the Special Olympics before, Amin said. But this time the fraternity will be making a monetary donation after the event. “This money will help (the Special Olympics) continue to put on their events, pay for food at their events, and prizes and awards — just anything to support that,� Sarmiento said. Reddy said the chapter’s ultimate motivation behind putting on this new event is to continue its philanthropic duties in a new manner. “We wanted to spark the interest in doing philanthropy for external charities,� Reddy said. “We also want to continue providing service and volunteering on campus as a whole.�

Bragging rights on the line in Orange and Blue Spring Game BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

Other than steaks and beans and weenies, bragging rights will be on the line this Saturday at the Illinois football annual spring game. The Illini broke into Orange and Blue squads via a player’s draft by senior captains and will hold the intrasquad scrimmage at 2 p.m. at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. The two teams will be coached by Alex Golesh, running backs, tight ends and recruiting coordinator, and Mike Ward, inside linebackers coach. The two have a history together, which fuels some of the rivalry coming into the intrasquad scrimmage. Golesh tried to get a job with Ward, who was the defensive coordinator at Bowling Green at the time, as a graduate assistant in 2006. Golesh sent Ward “no short of 70 letters� about the open position, only to be snubbed for the position by another candidate. Golesh ended up at Northern Illinois as a graduate assistant, but the two were reunited at Toledo in 2009 and even-

tually both followed head coach Tim Beckman to the Illini. “When we were back together at Toledo, he heard about that quite a bit. He still hears about it,� Golesh said. “I don’t know if there are a whole lot of better things than beating Mike Ward.� Golesh was the offensive coordinator on the winning Blue team a year ago, by putting up 35 points over offensive coordinator Bill Cubit’s Orange team. Those bragging rights last all year. “They had more yards, we had more points, which is what matters,� Golesh said. In this year’s player’s draft, quarterback Wes Lunt was the first overall pick, selected by the Blue team, where one of the captains is Reilly O’Toole. Lunt and O’Toole will split time on the Blue team, while Aaron Bailey will be given full reigns of the Orange team. Beckman said that he wasn’t entirely sure when a decision would be made and the quarterback competition could leak into the fall. “It’s been a great battle,� Beck-

man said. “I don’t think I could jump out and say right now who’s going to start. But that’s why you compete.� Beckman said that he would need to sit down and discuss with Cubit before the staff goes out to start recruiting after the spring game. Bailey will have a full complement of skills players as the Orange team has both starting running backs in Donovonn Young and Josh Ferguson, as well as top receivers Martize Barr, Geronimo Allison and Mike Dudek. Rules for the scrimmage will be three quarters with a normal clock, while the fourth is on a running clock. There will be no kick returns and all punts must be fair caught. The offenses will be limited to one trick play per quarter and no unbalanced formations, while the defense can’t utilize corner or safety blitzes. “If I can get 12 trick plays in, I’m going to do it and plead ignorance,� Golesh said. “We’re going to try and blow that scoreboard up. Down and distance doesn’t matter, we’re going

to put points on the board.� Also in attendance will be former Illini players acting as honorary coaches. Dino Pollock, Juice Williams and Tim Simpson are on one side, with the possibility of Rashard Mendenhall joining the staff if his schedule complies. On the other team, Eric Rouse, Martez Wilson and Dana Howard will assist as honorary coaches.

“We’re going to try and blow that scoreboard up. Down and distance doesn’t matter.�

habazz Napier, a national champion, was defiant in victory as he stood with his team under the raining confetti after Monday’s title victory. He remembered being banned by the NCAA; he remembered being written off by everyone else. As far away as Illinois football is from sniffing championships, it needs to make a few memories to carry with it into next season. There’s actually a lot to look for in this week’s spring scrimmage, but it’s a hardly compelling proposition to sift through the wreckage left in the wake of 18 losses over two seasons to find the hopeful bits. Illinois will have trouble truly winning Saturday in the way the program wants — in the eyes of the fans. If the scoring is plentiful, the takeaway will be concern over a defense that didn’t show improvement. If the defense is stingy, the story becomes the ineptitude at the quarterback position. Illinois isn’t a rabid football school like one might find in SEC country (insert picture of Block I’s showing at 2013’s Senior Day here), and with faith in the coaching staff as low as ever, the changes that will be on display Saturday may not fit what Illini fans are pining for. A spring contest between Illinois squads will be like trying to generate a fire by rubbing your palms together — not enough heat and not

enough spark to work by itself. What Illinois needs is another school it can overpower. Unfortunately, it’s spring ball, which means the only options are Orange or Blue. Illinois fans, steeped in the mind set of “you come to me, significant rooting interest,� probably won’t care much about the spring scrimmage. And let’s hope the players take note — let’s hope it gets them up in the morning. Let’s hope this period of non-belief among the so-called “faithful� stirs in them something that hasn’t been present the last two seasons. Maybe one day an Illinois player will chastise those that wrote off the team, but first that right must be earned. The Illini can’t earn it Saturday. But they can start making their case.

The quarterback competition Illinois as a program has fully embraced its quarterback competition, which is the noble alternative to riding the wave of hopefulness brought in by the arrival of Wes Lunt. Some fans believe he can be an offensive savior, though they should know that’s not really how football works. Illinois could have blindly thrown support behind Lunt as “the guy,� as they did with Beckman’s bold New Era. But having apparently learned from this last folly, they elected the more pragmatic approach of letting Lunt earn the hype. Competing with Lunt for the starting quarterback spot are returning players Reilly O’Toole and Aaron Bailey. O’Toole is someone I’ve personally written off, and

Men’s gymnastics hopes to bring home national title BY KIERAN HAMPL STAFF WRITER

The No. 5-ranked Illinois gymnastics team hopes to top the field this weekend at the 2014 NCAA Championships. Late Tuesday afternoon, the Illini boarded the bus to Ann Arbor, Mich., with a practice day scheduled for Wednesday, before the three-day event begins. The team, which placed fourth at the Big Ten Championships, is looking to increase its hit percentage heading into the biggest event of the year hoping to

accomplish their preseason goal of winning a national championship. The Illini last won the title in 2012. Illinois will compete in the afternoon session on Thursday against No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 4 Stanford, No. 8 Iowa, No. 9 California and No. 12 William and Mary. The top three teams from each session will advance to Friday’s team finals. On the first day, the Illini will be competing against Iowa, which is the only team in their group they’ve already competed against this

season, compared to the night sessions, where they’ve competed against all six teams. Despite not being familiar with the early opponents, unlike other sports, scouting will not play a role and the Illini will only be focused on their individual performances. “It’s a competition against yourself, you have to do the routine that you have done 100 times already this year,� head coach Justin Spring said. As a team the Illini are ranked in the top 10 in the country on every apparatus heading into

this event. Junior Jordan Valdez leads the nation on high bar and is fifth on parallel bars, freshman Chandler Eggleston is currently No. 2 on floor exercise and fourth on vault. Sophomore C.J. Maestas comes in at No. 3 on both still rings and in the all-around. The Illini had two full weeks of practice to get ready for the finals. Besides just trying to perfect their sets, they have also placed a ton of emphasis on mental preparation. The coaches created mock meets in order to get the gymnasts ready for the pres-

sure they will be facing before each routine. “It is a lot of mental preparation outside of the gym,� senior Chad Mason said. “I am always thinking about my set.� With the competition starting Thursday, Spring has stopped telling the team they must handle the pressure. They know what they need to do to be successful this weekend and the statistics have proved they can win if they go out and hit their routines. “The guys don’t have to do anything extra special this weekend,

no one needs to do something that they have never done before,� Spring said. The national champion team will be named in Friday’s finals. Also, the top 10 athletes from each individual event will compete in the individual championships on Saturday. For an Illini team that came into the season with high expectations, this is its chance to prove how good it can be.

Pommel crew bonds through consistency BY KIERAN HAMPL STAFF WRITER

For the Illinois men’s gymnastics team, the pommel crew, as they like to call themselves, goes beyond being one of best components in the fifth-ranked Illini lineup. Most gymnasts on the team compete in multiple events in each competition and have to spend practice time preparing accordingly. Sophomore C.J. Maestas competed in five of the six events during the Big Ten Championships two weekends ago. The one event he was not a part of was the pommel horse. Pommel horse is a very specialized event and unique in that most of the athletes who have competed on the event for the Illini this season solely compete on pommel horse or are doing just one other event. The pommel crew consists of freshman Matt Foster, sophomores Logan Bradley and Jacob Tilsey and seniors Cole Smith and Chad Mason. Because the lineup has been so consistent throughout the year, the five gymnasts have become very close with each other. Every practice, they spend two hours working with each other in the back corner of Kenney Gymnasium, separate from the other gymnasts. This atmo-

sphere has provided them with the opportunity to push each other every day, also allowing them to grow with each other and develop strong friendships. “With the season winding down, we have been together for a very long time and have developed great friendships, hanging out inside, as well as, outside of the gym,� Bradley said.

“We have been together for a very long time and have developed great friendships.� LOGAN BRADLEY SENIOR GYMNAST

The lone freshman of the group, Matt Foster, came into the Illinois program this year after competing in every event for the junior national team. After injuries early in the season, he was relegated to solely competing on the pommel horse. This has been a blessing in disguise for Foster, who has won three titles this season and set

a career high of 14.950. “The older guys have taken me under their wing and have really helped my confidence a lot,� Foster said. “You have five people together as family.� Foster emphasized the pressures of competing in one event during each competition and having only one opportunity to go out and stick your routine. He said the older guys have coached him through how to attack the competition, whether he needs to go into his routine conservatively or aggressively, depending on the situation. “We have done everything we could this year to prepare for these situations, starting with pressure sets,� Mason said. In a sport like gymnastics, where one mistake can ruin an individual score and the team’s chances of placing well in that event, perfection and handling the pressure is key. “These guys have stepped up in a sport of perfection with only one opportunity to perform,� head coach Justin Spring said. During practice, the team will yell as loud as it can in an attempt to distract the gymnast performing his routine on the pommel horse and to recreate pressure situations. Despite not accounting for the nerves that play a huge role during com-

Matt Foster performs the pommel horse routine against Ohio State on Jan. 26. petitions, this exercise goes a long way in putting them in an uncomfortable situation while performing. Not only does the “pommel crew� compete against other teams, but also against each other. As competitors, each gymnast strives to be the best on the squad.

“We have continually made progress with our scores, so you kind of put pressure on the person in front of you and the person behind you to perform,� Bradley said. The bond these five gymnasts have created has allowed them to flourish as a unit this season, accounting for five victories, 20

Illini rolling early in Big Ten play Team improves pitching, overcomes adversity to reach 2nd in conference ALEX ROUX Illini columnist

D

on’t look now, but Illinois baseball is on a roll. Last time, I wrote about Dan Hartleb’s squad, it was struggling to find consistency before spring break. The pitching would be lights out, and the bats would be silent. The bats would come alive, and the pitching would falter. Illinois posted just a 7-9 overall record heading into the home opener at Illinois Field. Now, we’re already halfway through the season. In the last three weeks, everything seems to be clicking for the Illini. They’ve won 10 out of 12 games and gotten off to a 5-1 start in Big Ten play, good for second place in the con-

ference standings. So, what’s sparked the recent stretch of solid play?

Quality pitching The Illini pitching staff has been highly touted all season, and it’s performing up to expectations. Kevin Duchene’s stellar 1.70 ERA leads the rotation, and Ryan Castellanos’ impressive 3.18 is the highest ERA among any Illini pitcher who has logged at least 30 innings on the season. Starter John Kravetz was named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday after pitching eight scoreless innings and striking out seven in Sunday’s 1-0 win over Northwestern. If the Illini want to sustain their momentum, it’s huge for them to get a dominant performance like the one Kravetz turned in when their offense stalls.

Overcoming adversity The Illini have battled through adversity during their run, the scope of which has ranged from inconvenient to emotional. Three games (Illinois State, Missouri and Eastern Illinois) have been

postponed or cancelled in the last three weeks, all of which could be considered rivalry matchups. The changes in scheduling haven’t affected the Illini during their winning stretch, as they were victorious in both post-rainout games to date. A forearm injury has plagued No. 1 starter Duchene over the last several weeks, and he’s still listed as dayto-day. The rest of the pitching staff has picked up the slack, having only allowed 2.3 runs per game since Duchene’s last appearance on March 14. Sadly, head coach Dan Hartleb’s father passed away on April 5. Hartleb had missed several games since the end of March to be with his ailing father, leaving associate head coach Eric Snider to run the team in his absence. Sophomore shortstop Adam Walton told The Daily Illini that Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Northwestern was for Hartleb and his late father.

Soft start to the schedule I don’t want to take anything away from the Illini’s hot streak, because they’re playing great baseball. They took three of four games from Xavi-

FOLAKE OSIBODU THE DAILY ILLINI

Ryan Castellanos pitches during the game against Penn State on May 11. The Illini won 8-6. er, and the Musketeers are no slouches at 16-14 overall. But the 5-1 conference start came at the expense of two of the conference’s worst teams, Purdue and Northwestern. The Boilermakers and Wildcats currently have an abysmal combined record of 11-44. The schedule gets tougher from here on out, headlined by a three-game series with fi rst-place

Indiana on April 25 at Illinois Field. If the Illini can maintain this high level of play against the top of the league, look for them to make some noise in the postseason once Duchene gets healthy.

Illinois baseball finding ‘recipe for success’ with consistency from pitching staff BY NICHOLAS FORTIN STAFF WRITER

For Ryan Castellanos, it’s easy to see why the Illinois baseball team keeps on winning. “I feel the recipe for success in baseball is to have a good staff with an opportunistic offense,” the pitcher said. “If you look at UCLA last year, they had one of the best staffs in the nation and they had a nice opportunistic offense. I feel that we resemble that this year.” The Bruins rode their pitching staff to a national championship a year ago. The Illini are in the midst of a five-game winning streak, their longest of the season. To Castellanos the team’s

FOOTBALL someone whom I think would be viewed as a disappointing winner of this QB competition. It would take a few wins for Illini Nation to buy in and believe he’s anything more than the guy who comes in and commits unfortunate turnovers. If he winds up with the spot, I will gladly be wrong. It just still feels like it’s not the right fit. Bailey is a fascinating case. He feels like the youngest candidate for the position, and by age, he is. But his eligibility is

success starts with the pitching staff. “I feel we got a pretty good staff from the starting rotation all the way to the bullpen,” Castellanos said. “We’ve got arms out of the pen that can come in and shut it down, and we’ve got starters who go in and go as deep as they want to.” It’s hard to disagree with him. After starting the season 2-4 and giving up 28 runs over the first three games of the year, the team has settled down and the pitching staff has started to take over. So far this season, the Illini are 12-2 in games in which their opponents score three runs or fewer. Illinois has given up just seven

runs in its last five games, shutting out Northwestern twice in the process. Over the five games, the Illini have had strong outings from each of their four starters. Castellanos threw a complete game, junior Drasen Johnson threw a 10-strikeout and seven-inning shutout, and John Kravetz threw an eight-inning shutout. As associate head coach Eric Snider put it, “Our pitching has just been outstanding.” All of Illinois’ starters have been able to have success so far this season. Both Kravetz and sophomore starter Kevin Duchene have won Big Ten Pitcher of the Week for

their performances, with Kravetz picking it up this week after shutting out Northwestern and recording 10 strikeouts on Sunday. After not giving up a walk in his seven-inning outing on Saturday, Castellanos extended his streak of innings without a walk to 34. Castellanos leads the NCAA in innings thrown without a walk so far this season. The Illini pitchers’ success has placed them toward the top on a number of Big Ten statistical categories. Johnson is second in the Big Ten with 41 strikeouts on the season and sophomore reliever Jay is seventh with three saves. “They’re throwing quality pitches,” Snider said. “Each indi-

vidual starter keeps coming out and they put up zeros and it’s just great to see that confidence in an 18-, 19-, 20-year-old college kid.” Illinois’ pitching staff has been able to excel in the past three weeks, even without Duchene, who is usually the team’s No. 1 starter. Duchene, who was last year’s Big Ten Freshman of the Year pitcher, has been out since late March with what the team is calling “forearm tightness.” When asked about just how well the team has been pitching in Duchene’s absence, Snider said that it’s “scary” to think about the fact that the Illini have a deep enough pitching staff to have been so success-

ful without him. With a three-game series against Michigan looming this weekend, the Illini know that they will need to continue to pitch well in order to keep the winning streak going. Snider said the Illini have been successful at being able to “come out and pound the zone,” and that pitching prowess, along with an opportunistic offense has made the difference for the Illini so far this season. “It’s been really fun to watch and it puts us in a position to win ball games,” Snider said.

the same as Lunt’s, and he can’t quite make all the throws Lunt can. He’s gone from the freshman whose future teems with excitement to the sophomore slipping through the proverbial cracks, and he hasn’t even finished his second semester of classes. While watching O’Toole is old hat for Illini fans, seeing Lunt and Bailey cut it loose on Saturday will be refreshing.

Illinois attack will gladly let his play speak for him. It will be the first peep Josh Ferguson has made in months. Ferguson was dazzling at times in the fall, effortlessly shaking defenders and high-stepping into sole possession of the starting running back spot. As a junior, he will return with heightened expectations and heightened confidence. Donovonn Young should resume his role of backup but with a newfound envy for the spotlight. Not all envy is bad. Running back is Illinois’ most boring position to talk about; it’s the same as last year, only slightly better. Expect the running

game to loom large in the scrimmage. The receiving corps has to replace a lot of vacancies with a rag-tag senior class that wound up providing Illinois with an identity in tandem with Nathan Scheelhaase at quarterback. Mike Dudek and Geronimo Allison will be new names to watch. The tight ends and offensive line remain basically intact, minus graduation of Corey Lewis and Evan Wilson.

going to be something of a face for the entire defense, and now that duty will fall to linebacker Mason Monheim or a player to be named later. An already weak unit lost Tim Kynard to graduation before Bates announced his departure. Now DeJazz Woods or Dawuane Smoot will have to fill the void at the LEO position, while junior college transfer Jihad Ward waits in the wings as someone who could potentially bolster the defensive front — but not until he’s on campus in the fall. Jonathan Brown is gone, and making the switch to linebacker is Mike Svetina, who was

impressively mediocre for someone playing a made-up position dubbed the “STAR.” Earnest Thomas III slides into that aforementioned linebacker-safety hybrid slot, hoping to provide a little more speed for Illinois defensively. The main thing to look for will be the secondary. Did a green group learn from the seasonlong beatdown opposing offenses handed it? Hopefully. Just don’t make the quarterbacks look bad.

The rest of the offense While the quarterbacks and personnel changes will rule headlines, the quiet rock of the

Illinois’ Farris Gosea hits the ball during the match against No. 8 Texas on Feb. 9. The Illini won 4-3. Gosea and the Illini will travel to Iowa City on Friday to play the Hawkeyes, finishing over the weekend at Nebraska. bit of excitement about it being the last regular season road trip,” Dancer said. “It seemed like all we did was travel for a little bit.” The road trip will be vital for Illinois, as the team is still jockeying for a position in the Big Ten standings to improve its seeding for the conference tournament. Illinois currently sits fourth in the conference, but would be second if not for

the conference overruling their match result against Penn State. Gosea’s junior counterpart Kopinski has also been anchoring the Illini in singles, winning his last seven matches straight. Kopinski and Gosea are tied for the season lead in singles victories at 17 apiece. “I’m more confident now than a few weeks ago, I’ve kind of played better in situations where I’m down and used my serve bet-

ter,” Kopinski said. Although Gosea has his differences off the court, on the court everyone wants to follow his example and do what he does, which is win. “There’ll never be a dull moment around Farris,” Dancer said.

him out of the lineup, which made it Gosea’s time to shine. With a 9-1 record when playing No. 1 singles and and 8-2 record against nationally ranked opponents, Gosea is playing his best tennis under the brightest lights and has developed drastically from playing sixth singles last season. “I feel like I’ve just been practicing a lot harder, I’m more focused on what I need to be focused on and not let other aspects of my life get involved into my tennis,” Gosea said. With Illinois’ roster possessing no seniors, Gosea is one of the team’s veteran leaders as well: Gosea, Ross Guignon and Tim Kopinski are the only juniors on the team. Being a team leader is different in college tennis than in most sports because of its individualized focus, but Illinois’ juniors have one area of focus. “I feel like it’s more leading by example, me, (Kopinski) and (Guignon) I feel like do a good job of focusing on what we need to be focused on,” Gosea said. Gosea looks to continue his hot streak this weekend, as he leads the Illini into their final Big Ten road trip of the season. Illinois first plays at Iowa on Friday and then finishes the weekend on Sunday at Nebraska. “To be honest there’s a little

Farris Gosea is a bit different than many of his teammates. His hometown isn’t in the state of Illinois, which is something that five of his teammates have in common. It also isn’t in a different Midwestern state like his other two teammates. Gosea also speaks with an accent that is much different than one from Chicago, or anywhere else in the United States for that matter. Illinois’ top singles players hails from Cardiff, Wales and has done as much on the court to distinguish himself this season as he inevitably has off of it. Both Gosea and the Illini are ranked at No. 11 in the country; Gosea at singles, and the Illini as a team. “It’s funny, it’s like the same story every time. The guy puts his mind to something and then the results aren’t there and they slowly start to come in and once they come in, the accolades come in and everything just kind of snowballs. I think that’s what you’re seeing with Farris right now,” head coach Brad Dancer said. Gosea’s talent wasn’t doubted around the Illinois program even when he was struggling to

reach his potential, as his ability was the reason he ended up here in Champaign. When Gosea came for his official visit to Illinois, Dancer wasn’t on campus so the two didn’t meet. Upon committing to play for the Illini, Gosea still hadn’t met Dancer. It wasn’t until Gosea got to school at the beginning of his freshman year that the two finally met.
