University’s Climate Survey results soon to be released for public scrutiny BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER
Results from the fi rst ever University-wide Climate Survey will soon be available to students, faculty and staff. The results are being fi nalized by the Survey Research Laboratory on the Chicago campus and an analytical report will be released on uillinois.edu/climatesurvey at the end of April. Despite the “volumes and volumes of data” received from the survey, Marilyn Marshall , director of University academic programs and services, said she is confident that they will get the information on time. She added that the laboratory will continue to analyze the data after the information is released. The climate survey was initially emailed to 106,000 University students, faculty and staff of all three campuses on Oct. 26, 2011. When the survey closed about a month later, about 16 percent, or 17,000 people, had participated, Marshall said. According to a University news release from Nov. 2011, University President Michael Hogan began planning the survey in November 2010 in correlation with the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, which funded the survey. Soon after Hogan initiated the idea, a subcommittee studied similar questionnaires from other universities to formulate questions. It was designed to “measure student and employee perceptions of the academic, working and social environment.” Hogan, although familiar with a presidential position, was new to the University when he began conducting the survey. Tim Johnson , director of the laboratory, said he believes Hogan was interested in getting a “baseline measurement” of the climate on all three campuses among a variety of students, staff and faculty. That way, he added, Hogan could focus on improving those identified issues for students and employees. “I think it was a sincere attempt on his part to understand what the climate was like, and to understand the scope of the problems at
Some students still hope to bring Chief back BY CLAIRE EVERETT STAFF WRITER
Campus Spirit Revival, a registered student organization, is giving students more time to contribute their ideas for a new mascot. While the original art contest deadline was April 15, the group has decided to extend the deadline to Oct. 14 in order to allow for more submissions to . Thomas Ferrarell, president of Campus Spirit Revival, emphasized that the organization’s goal is to get people excited about finding a new mascot and not to take any stance on the Chief debate. “There’s a silent majority of people who are interested in this,” Ferrarell said. “The students need to prove to the administration that they want a new mascot. Everybody definitely has a stake in it.” The Campus Spirit Revival’s goal is to have five student-submitted ideas to vice president and chancellor Phyllis Wise by the Oct. 14 deadline. At that point, however, the issue will be solely in the hands of the administration, Ferrarell said. Some mascot ideas that have been submitted include Colonel Kernel; Lean Mean Mr. Soybean; Trouble, the tractor, and a currently unnamed white-tailed deer. Winners of the contest will receive a $200 Amazon gift card, which may be funded by the Illinois Student Senate, which voted in support of the group in December. Student body president David Pileski said the general consensus of the senate was that if students are passionate about getting a new mascot, then they should be supportive of the new mascot process. “It’s important for this to be dealt with on a student-to-student basis rather than something handed down from the administration,” Pileski said. Karen Sixkiller, treasurer of Campus Spirit Revival, said the organization is taking steps to move past the conflict in a “positive way.”

DAYTIME ASSISTANT EDITOR
little over a year after Green Street fire on March 23, 2011, Zorba’s owner Matt Mortenson reopened the gyros stand that has been serving campus since 1973. Thursday’s customers were greeted by an all new layout. The kitchen is now on the southwest corner of the restaurant, which means the larger seating area is
now off to the left. Additionally, a new wheelchair ramp leads customers from the door to the counter, where they will pass new customized lighting fixtures. Mortenson’s Block I-shaped collage of Illini sports clippings is still there, as it was salvaged from the fire along with two campus-themed murals, which are now hung on the eastern wall. In addition to some of the same decor, Zorba’s customers will also fi nd the
same menu. Mortenson said there was never a time when he considered not rebuilding Zorba’s, though it involved a long process of dealing with insurance companies and the landlord to make sure the building was up to code. For example, the basement ceiling was not high enough at first, so he had to have the floor dug deeper. The community has been very encour-

UI looking to combine cultural centers Three separate drawings were discussed for new building plans BY THOMAS THOREN STAFF WRITER
NATHALIE ROCK THE DAILY ILLINI
Helen Kessler, President of HJKessler Associates, writes down sustainability ideas for a possible collective cultural center at the Illini Union. Directors of the centers met Thursday to view three building ideas.
While the University’s cultural centers and gender and ethnic program offices are currently spread out on campus, the organizations are contemplating coming together in a single building. For the fi rst time, University students and faculty saw concep-
tual drawings regarding the feasibility study for a unified facility after four months of discussion. The centers’ directors and other faculty and students met again Thursday at the Illini Union with the study’s architectural consultant, Moody Nolan, Inc., who presented three conceptual drawings for the building.
The architectural fi rm began working with the University at the end of last summer. At that time, they “had to go through a de-mythicizing” process with students and faculty about the status of the building plans and funding, both of which do not yet exist, said Renauld Mitchel l, director of operations and architect at Moody Nolan’s Chicago office. His fi rm based its designs on student and faculty discussions held in December and again last week. Prior to the fi rm’s presentation, Rory James, director of the Bruce
D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center, assured attendees that Moody Nolan’s presentation was only “a conceptual framework” for the proposed facility. “By no means are we saying this is a blueprint or anything of what’s to come,” he said. Mitchell added that his fi rm’s process of designing the best facility possible for their feasibility study is “dialogue driven” and “dead on arrival” without faculty and, especially, student input.

Despite the name, keeping them in is anything but wise. When wisdom teeth come in, the result is often painful due to overcrowding and can cause damage to other teeth. This time of year, it is not unusual for students to have trouble with their wisdom teeth. Stress and lack of proper rest and diet seem to act as a catalyst for wisdom tooth flare-up. At Affiliates in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, the removal of wisdom teeth is done as an outpatient surgery and is often covered by student insurance.

1st annual Korean week raises awareness through celebration BY PULU WANG STAFF WRITER
The first official Korean week at the University will come to an end Saturday after a week fi lled with events spreading awareness about traditional Korean culture. Korean Week began April 7 and was hosted by the Korean Student Association, or KSA, one of the largest student organizations for Korean students on campus. The registered student organization organized 13 academic, social and cultural events for the week, which were all open to the public. The decision to host Korean Week stemmed from concerns by Korean students who felt invisible on campus and to increase communication amongst the international students on campus. KSA kicked-off the week with a talent show Saturday night, which about 400 students attended. The Korean Expo, held Thursday, included displays of tradi-
Korean week endured various thefts The first annual Korean Week held at the University fell victim to multiple thefts. Yujin Kim, member of KSA and junior in LAS, said that two items were stolen from the registered student organization. First, the Korean Student Association, or KSA, hung a banner on the Alma Mater advertising the week, which listed the times of the events. After hanging the banner on Friday, April 6, KSA members discovered on Saturday that the banner had been stolen. On Saturday, KSA hung a Korean National Pride and Illini Pride Flag in its place, but they were also stolen. tional Korean clothes, food, calligraphy, popular movies and soap operas. Those who attended the Expo had the opportunity to learn about Korea by participating in different activities like a scavenger hunt. Hakyung Ku, freshman, said the Expo yielded low turnout, and that she wished it had been better advertised. “I think the only people who come are actually really into Korean culture and people who
know a little bit about Korean,” she said. “People who don’t know anything about Korean, they just walk away instead of coming in.” Ku was in charge of the calligraphy station at the Expo. “I gathered all the information of what it is. I also gave a separate space, I let them actually write it using ink. They can experience what (Korean Calligraphy) is like,” Ku said. KSA also held a Korean Dish sale on Thursday. Raphael Son,

before. We should have more international weeks,” she said. Un Yeong Park, president of KSA and graduate student, said he was happy with the success of Korean Week. “Many people now know what the Korean Student Association is doing. I am quite satisfied with the whole event schedule,” Park said. The event will end Saturday with a traditional Korean baseball tournament.

One customer, Jerry Montgomery, said he’s been coming to Zorba’s for lunch since 1974, and is thrilled to have it back. While it was closed, he went to other restaurants in the area, which said he enjoyed, “but it wasn’t Zorba’s.” Montgomery ordered the chili, which he said was “wonderful as ever,” and convenient because it is served year-round. He plans to resume eating lunch at Zorba’s about four times per week. As a result of the new layout, live acts will now be able to perform in the large customer area by the window facing Green Street. Local jazz bands are already contacting Mortenson about performing at Zorba’s once again. Michael Smith, junior in LAS, said he mostly comes to Zorba’s for Jazz Nights on Thursdays. “It’s good to have places like this back,” Smith said. Mortenson said the support from the community has been “overwhelming.” He added that he received three flower deliveries from local businesses welcoming him back. “This busiest lunch we’ve ever had,” he said. “It’s very touching; it means everything to me. We’re selling gyros and fries, but it’s about the relationships we make. ”

Refugee center celebrates annual fundraising dinner
SURVEY
Group continues to assist refugees and immigrants
MASCOT
BY DANNY WICENTOWSKI STAFF WRITER
In the weeks before her citizenship test, Phien Thi Bui practiced her lessons like a dutiful student. She practiced during her free time, at home late into the night, even on the production line at the Solo Cup factory where she and her four grown children worked. And even after she passed the test, she continued to practice on her own. “After taking the oath, I was very happy,” said Phien. Phien, her husband Trieu The Van, and their four children came to the U.S. as political refugees in June of 1995. From that time onward, they were shepherded through the rocky cultural transitions by the East Central Illinois Refugee Mutual Assistance Center, or ECIRMAC, which is marking 30 years of service during its 5th annual fundraising dinner Saturday. ECIRMAC co-director Anh Ha Ho said the center provides services on a daily basis to refugees from countries in Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and South East Asia. Ha, who emigrated to the United States 37 years ago, explained that refugees need coaching in everything from dressing for the new climate to fi nding jobs to receiving necessary social services. She estimates that between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2012,
CENTER FROM PAGE 1A Miguel Gonzalez , designer for Moody Nolan, presented the fi rm’s three concepts for the proposed facility. While the designs differ in areas like spacial organization, all three contain the same core idea: separated academic units and cultural centers, and a shared public space. The three approaches were designed without any bias,
the center has helped 1,750 refugees and immigrants. The center has been in operation since 1982, which was founded by refugees from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia who fled the region during the years following the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. Like many of the fi rst refugees helped by the center, Trieu had been an official in the Vietnamese government until 1975, when the country became unified under a communist government. After six years of hard labor in a “reeducation camp,” Trieu was allowed to return to his family in 1981. While his years of imprisonment qualified him for immigration to the U.S., his wife, Phien, could not bring herself to leave their home. “She did not believe it, and wanted to see other people try and see if it would work,” Trieu said. They stayed in Vietnam until 1995, when Trieu showed his wife the six passports that would take them to a better life in Champaign, where Trieu’s brother-inlaw lived and worked at the Solo Cup factory. With two weeks before their arrival, Trieu’s brother-in-law turned to Ha and ECIRMAC to fi nd housing for the family of six. The furnished apartment Ha found in Champaign was just the beginning of the relationship Mitchell said. No one option is expected to be perfect and without need for alteration. Because the unifi ed facility would only have a 20,000 square foot foundation, located at the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Chalmers Street, the designs had to make efficient use of vertical space. The fi rst design, presented by Gonzalez, called “Side-by-Side,” featured academic units on the west side of the building and an open area between the cultural centers on the east side.
between Trieu’s family and the refugee center. Ha regularly checked on the family’s needs and led their English and citizenship classes. She was there when Phien and Trieu received their citizenship papers on January 11, 2002. ECIRMAC also arranged for a house to be built for the family through the Habitat for Humanity program. A framed painting of a cottage set on rolling hills sits in the family’s living room, a housewarming present from Ha when the house was completed in 1998. But sometimes Ha must deal with the refugees’ unrealistic expectation of the U.S. Some leave relatively comfortable lives in their home countries believing that “everything will be served to them on a silver platter,” Ha said. But these families discover that their diplomas are worthless in the here, she said. In order to provide for their families, these academics and professionals find themselves working menial or factory jobs. “We have to (teach) them that no matter what, they are not losing any of their dignity,” Ha said. She recalls running into a former judge who had been reduced to sweeping floors in a Wal-Mart. “I asked him if he had any regrets,” she said. “He said ‘No, because I see that the future of my children is safe.’” This concept, like the following two, featured a basement level with music and dance studios and practice areas. They also all had ground fl oors with a 250-person capacity multipurpose room, an 80-person capacity large classroom and a 25- to 30-person capacity small classroom. The design’s second floor, like the other two designs, featured an outdoor “green terrace” that would contain a gardening area and would be both public and private because it would be

New app helps forge connection between businesses, customers BY HANNAH PROKOP, LAURA SHAY AND MICHAEL KOZUCHOWSKI DAYTIME ASSISTANT EDITORS
A new app for iPhone and Android, Champaign City Center Perks, allows shoppers access to businesses in Champaign that would not normally be available to them. “Our main goal was to fi nd a way to link customers with businesses in Campustown, Midtown and Downtown,” said T.J. Blakeman , executive director of business for the Champaign Center Partnership. The free app can be downloaded at the iPhone App Store and from the Android Marketplace. Smartphone users can download the app by searching “Champaign.” Brian Durkin, general manager of Destihl restaurant and brew works in Champaign, said he believes that “it helps to get the word out” — though he also states that “it’s probably too early for me to really say.” Brian and his staff have been telling customers in the store about the app when they come in for meals and drinks. The Center City Perks app allows participating merchants to send out text notifi cations to app users who have followed their business along with listing “perks.” Participating businesses will also offer loyalty cards and benefits.

FROM PAGE 1A “We all agree that we like having a mascot and something that brings us together,” Sixkiller said. “As long as the University has no official mascot, the unofficial mascot is going to continue to be a divisive factor on campus.” However, Students for Chief Illiniwek, or SFCI, are continuing their efforts to bring the Chief back, despite the NCAA’s ban. The group is trying to convince the Peoria tribe, the closest descendents of the Illiniwek tribe, to give their permission to the University to use the mascot again and reverse the ban. Ivan Dozier, president and SFCI-selected Chief Illiniwek, who is half-Cherokee, asked that students outside of SCFI, however, not bother the tribe as they have been upset about the amount of students contacting them about the issue. “The University has their hands tied by the NCAA, and the only reason that’s in effect is because CLAIRE EVERETT THE DAILY ILLINI of the Peoria of Oklahoma,” Doz- New mascot art submissions hang on the wall of Karen Sixkiller, treasurer of ier said. “We’re really working Campus Spirit Revival, from the RSO’s art competition, which ends Oct. 14. hard to get the Chief back as a “The Chief was created by their quest for a new mascot. symbol in some way, shape or “We realize some people love form.

Gonzalez then presented the remaining two designs, which did not make the separation between the academic and cultural units so pronounced but still gave the various units equal resources. Following his presentation, most of the crowd’s feedback was in favor of these last two designs over the “Side-by-Side” concept because they were more integrated. In all three designs, each cul-
tural center and academic unit would have its own space for offices, lounges and conference rooms. The cultural centers would have their own pantries while the academic units would have access to shared pantries. In addition to their own smaller conference rooms, each floor would have a larger conference room for all units to share. Moody Nolan will also preserve murals from some of the cultural centers’ current locations. Despite the units’ specifi c
locations in the designs, the placements were “completely arbitrary” and could still be rearranged following future discussions between Moody Nolan and the University, Mitchell said. After the fi rm’s presentation, students and faculty expressed the desire to have future meetings to continue the feasibility study’s discussions, particularly in more intimate settings, such as at each cultural center and gender and ethnic program office.

THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID
Suburban teen murder unites community O’Laughlin tragedy instills importance of living full life MELANIE STONE Opinions columnist
It
was almost six months ago when the western suburbs of Chicago were rocked by an unfathomable crime. On an October afternoon, Kelli O’Laughlin was murdered in her Indian Head Park home. The details were gruesome: Her killer broke into her house, stabbing her multiple times when she came home from high school. O’Laughlin’s mother arrived home shortly thereafter to find her daughter, slain as the result of a burglary gone terribly wrong. The story broke hearts. It broke the hearts of those at Lyons Township High School (LTHS), where O’Laughlin was a freshman. It broke the hearts of people from all of the surrounding towns, including my own. It broke the hearts of anyone that had ever known her. As I drove home down Interstate 294 toward Hinsdale this past weekend, I was reminded of the tragedy. The catwalk connecting my town to Western Springs was decorated with plastic cups, spelling out, “We love you, Kelli.” She would have turned 15 on April 2. In honor of her birthday, hundreds of people gathered in a park to celebrate her life. They released balloons filled with handwritten notes about her. Among the crowd was Andrew Allison and his wife, the couple who lives next door to the O’Laughlins. “There were friends Kelli went to camp with, friends from high school, friends from choir,” said Allison. “She had so many friends, and they all had stories about different things they’d experienced with her.” Allison also remarked about how strong O’Laughlin’s parents were at the celebration. “I can’t even imagine how difficult it was for John and Brenda to talk about their daughter without completely breaking down,” he said quietly. “They’ve suffered such a great loss. She was a part of their life that’s gone, never to be filled.” Plastic cup messages cover fences and bridges in the area and so do the white ribbons on the trees. In the wake of O’Laughlin’s death, the entire community lined the streets, tying the ribbons to tree trunks. Six months later, those ribbons are still there, celebrating her life and symbolizing the
healing. LTHS has done much to honor her. In February, there was a blackout basketball game at LTHS against my old high school, Hinsdale Central High School (HCHS). Students from both schools packed the stands, clad in black shirts. Throughout the night, students and families participated in games and fundraisers, bringing in a whopping $23,000 for the Kelli Joy O’Laughlin Memorial Scholarship Fund. “Your alma mater (HCHS) did something amazing,” said Jennifer Bialobok, director of community relations at LTHS. She told me how HCHS hung blank banners in the cafeteria, inviting students to sign them in memory of O’Laughlin. The student council president of HCHS brought these now-signed banners over to LTHS in the days following her murder. “It’s that kind of support that has helped LTHS and our families and our kids work through the grieving process,” said Bialobok. On Easter Sunday, Leah DiNicola, my cousin and a sophomore at LTHS, and I were babysitting the younger kids at the park. As we twirled around on the swings, we got to talking about what happened. Leah had gone to school with O’Laughlin since their elementary years. “She was that happy, bubbly little girl who was constantly surrounded by her friends,” Leah said, voice wavering. “And she was always smiling.” For my cousin, the effects of the crime are lasting. “Kelli’s death was kind of like, a wakeup call. It made me realize that I needed to stop fooling around and making bad decisions,” she confided, feet dragging in the dirt. “Her murder really reminded me that I only have one chance to live, and I don’t want to waste it.” What happened last October was a tragedy, a horrific event that shocked O’Laughlin’s community. But amidst the pain, there is hope. A healing process is underway. “Of course we all miss her,” said Allison. “But we still have fond memories of Kelli. She would come over and talk to us as if she was a part of our family. She was quite a kid.” Anyone who knew O’Laughlin agrees that she was beautiful girl, inside and out. She sounds like someone I would have wanted to be friends with. In this world, we will have trouble. Life is fragile, and it can be cut short in an instant. For those that knew O’Laughlin, the journey to normalcy is a long one. But there is hope: Time heals all wounds. “I know that her memory will live on forever in the hearts of everyone who ever met her,” said my cousin, as we slowly walked back toward my house. “She was one of those people that you just don’t forget.”
In this world, we will have trouble. Life is fragile, and it can be cut short in an instant.

This also has similarities to when, two years ago, Google bought Picnik, a free photosharing website that’s similar to Instagram, except with 500,000 more features. Since Google decided that the price they bought Picnik for was not worth the cost, it’s killing the site on April 19. I’m not saying that big companies shouldn’t buy other companies they want, but only if they have the means to take care of it. If giants are blindly buying the awesome underdogs, then discarding them less than two years later, they need to

For photo lovers, or those who just like to take creatively colored photos of their shoe, Instagram is their escape, their own personal way to show people they can use color filters correctly. And Mark needs to respect that. After all, he made the commitment, so he better be ready to live in a world of sepia and Polaroid look-alikes for a while now.

Secret formula for happiness: For this girl, delicious chicken gyros T
oday I was reunited with an old friend of mine. Her name is Zorba’s. A little over a year ago, Zorba’s was the victim of a terrible fire ravaging one of the main streets on campus, and I was unsure of whether she’d ever return. Though other buildings were lost to the fire, I really only cared about Zorba’s. She wasn’t the classiest of ladies, but she had the best gyros in town and fantastic fries to boot. Every time I passed her, I’d check in to see how she was doing. She looked pretty awful for a while, hidden by plywood barriers. With time, though, she
began to show her face. Scarred and burned, she embarked on the long and winding road towards recovery. She was making wonderful progress, but I didn’t expect to see her back to her old self any time soon — much less at all. As if by some act of fate, my 12 p.m. class was cancelled today. In light of such good news, I decided to treat myself to lunch. Heading down the street I had to do a double take. Was it true? Was I just imagining things? No, ZORBA’S WAS OPEN. SWEET, SWEET ZORBA’S WAS BACK, AND I WAS ABOUT TO SHOWER HER
WITH LOVE (and money). Some people might ask, “Amanda, how can you be so thrilled about the return of a restaurant? Surely there’s another place on campus that serves decent gyros.” To them I shake my head. Clearly, you’ve never eaten at Zorba’s. In all honesty, I’ve never felt so giddy waiting for food. Not
only was this going to be delicious, but I had been looking forward to this since she suffered the accident. Trust me when I say she had no problem greeting me with open arms. Though she had gotten some work done, she was still just as lively and personal as I remember. She even had the exact same menu. I had to wait quite some time for my order. She was pretty
Heading down the street I had to do a double take. Was it true? Was I just imagining things? No, ZORBA’S WAS OPEN.
busy, though, with everyone who had come to celebrate her return so I didn’t mind. Gyros turning, steam burning, oil churning, I knew that I was in for something good. I practically ran to the counter when they called out my name. Throwing my money at the cashier, it took everything in my power to maintain my composure. But this was it! Finally, my friend was back and better than ever. Let me tell you, chicken gyros have never tasted so good. Sometimes I wonder how I can write so much about food. Greasy, unhealthy, this-is-going-
to-lead-to-an-early-deathbed food. But the more I think about it, the more this is a story about returning to something you love. Something near and dear that’s gone away for a long time. Food, places, people — these are the things we take to heart, and there’s no doubt that returning to anyone of them should make you as happy as I was today. So go out. Eat at your favorite restaurants. Visit your favorite places. Love your favorite people. Don’t hold back because this, my friends, is the secret to happiness.

UC Davis police criticized for pepper spraying protesters

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — State lawmakers are calling for greater oversight of campus police departments after investigators blasted administrators and officers at the University of California, Davis, for pepper-spraying demonstrators — a police action that drew widespread criticism after a video went viral. In a report released Wednesday, a UC Davis task force said the decision to douse seated Occupy protesters with the eye-stinging chemical was “objectively unreasonable” and not authorized by campus policy. “The pepper-spraying incident that took place on Nov. 18, 2011, should and could have been prevented,” concluded the task force created to investigate the confrontation. The chemical crackdown prompted widespread condemnation, campus protests and calls for the resignation of Chancellor Linda Katehi after videos shot by witnesses were widely played online. Images of an officer casually spraying orange pepper-spray in the faces of nonviolent protesters became a rallying point for the Occupy Wall Street movement. The task force blamed the incident on poor planning, communication and decision-making at all levels of school administration. Lt. John Pike and other officers said they needed to use pepperspray to break through a hostile crowd, but the investigation determined police were able to step over the seated protesters and walk through the throng of onlookers, according to the report. Assembly Speaker John Perez, who sits on the UC Board of Regents, said in a statement that

On March 27, supporters of Pakistani religious parties rally against government allowing NATO to resume shipping supplies through the country to its troops in neighboring Afghanistan. American hopes that Islamabad will reopen its supply lines to the Afghan War are snarled in Pakistani domestic politics.
Pakistan re-engages with NATO New guidelines pave way for supply lines, end militant strikes BY CHRIS BRUMMITT AND MUNIR AHMED THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s parliament on Thursday unanimously approved new guidelines for the country in its troubled relationship with the United States, a decision that could pave the way for the re-opening of supply lines to NATO troops in neighboring Afghanistan. The guidelines allow for the blockade on U.S. and NATO supplies to be lifted, but also call for an immediate end to American drone strikes against militants on Pakistani soil. However, the lawmakers did not make a halt in the CIA-led missile attacks a prerequisite to re-opening the supply lines, as some lawmakers had been
demanding. The government and the army will use the recommendations as the basis for re-engaging with Washington. Ties between the U.S. and Pakistan all but collapsed in November after U.S. airstrikes inadvertently killed 24 Pakistani soldiers on the Afghan border, after which Islamabad blocked the supply lines in protest. Washington wants the relationship back on track. The U.S. State Department expressed respect for the Pakistani parliament’s decision. “We respect the seriousness with which parliament’s review of U.S.-Pakistan relations has been conducted,” said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. “We seek a relationship with Pakistan that is enduring, strategic, and more clearly defined. We look forward to discussing these policy recommendations with the Government of Pakistan and continuing to engage with it on our shared interests.”
About 30 percent of supplies used by NATO and U.S. troops in landlocked Afghanistan are transported through Pakistan. Washington also needs Islamabad’s cooperation to negotiate an end to the Afghan war because many insurgent leaders are based on Pakistani soil. The drones are a source of popular outrage in the country and have fueled anti-U.S. sentiment, although Pakistan’s powerful army has tacitly aided the missile attacks in the past, weakening Islamabad’s official stance that they are a violation of sovereignty. Washington has ignored previous entreaties by the parliament to end the strikes, and is seen as unlikely to change its policy now. Despite calls by Islamists for a permanent supply line blockade, few inside the Pakistani government or the army believed this was desirable, given that Pakistan relies on the U.S. and other NATO countries for its economic survival and diplomatic and military support.

North Korea launches long-range rocket; Reports indicate missile failure BY JEAN H. LEE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea fired a long-range rocket early Friday, South Korean and U.S. officials said, defying international warnings against moving forward with a launch widely seen as a provocation. Liftoff took place at 7:39 a.m. from the west coast launch pad in the hamlet of Tongchang-ri, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul said, citing South Korean and U.S. intelligence. However, the launch may have failed, U.S. officials said in Washington. South Korean officials said they could not confirm that. Japan’s Defense Minister Naiki Tanaka said, “We have confirmed that a certain flying object has been launched and fell after
flying for just over a minute.” He did not say what exactly was launched. He said there was no impact on Japanese territory from the launch. In Pyongyang, there was no word about a launch, and state television was broadcasting video for popular folk tunes. North Korean officials said they would make an announcement about the launch “soon.” North Korea had earlier announced it would send a threestage rocket mounted with a satellite as part of celebrations honoring national founder Kim Il Sung, whose 100th birthday is being celebrated Sunday. Space officials say the rocket is meant to send a satellite into orbit to study crops and weather
patterns — its third bid to launch a satellite since 1998. The United States, Britain, Japan and others, however, have called such a launch a violation of U.N. resolutions prohibiting North Korea from nuclear and ballistic missile activity. Experts say the Unha-3 carrier is the same type of rocket that would be used to launch a longrange missile aimed at the U.S. and other targets. North Korea has tested two atomic devices but is not believed to have mastered the technology needed to mount a nuclear warhead on a long-range missile. North Korean space officials have dismissed assertions that the launch is a cover for developing missile technology as “nonsense.”

OFF THE RECORD
Dissecting Lolla’s lineup Despite lack of heavy-hitting headliners, fest still worth your time JOE WARD Staff writer
L
ollapalooza’s headliners are supposed to be the blockbuster acts that draw the massive crowds to the lakefront in the first place. The acts in the middle of the bill make sitting in the sun for 10 hours worthwhile, and the third-tier acts give festival goers-cummusic snobs reasons to be just that — the “I saw this band when they opened the damn fest!” guy. You heard that a lot two years ago when Lady Gaga headlined Lollapalooza after performing in the lunchtime slot just a few years earlier. Her performance nearly shut down the south end of Chicago’s Grant Park with the number of little monsters staked out hours before their hero’s set. Last year, Eminem brought a million of ‘em just like him, who dressed, walked and talked like him. (Maybe not a million, though.) This year, don’t expect the same enthusiasm. Instead, what we get is a faltering Red Hot Chili Peppers, a reunited Black Sabbath, solo Jack White, dubsteppers Avicii and Justice, newly re-imagined The Shins and the newest addi-

That is not to say any of these acts are mediocre (okay, a few are) and this certainly doesn’t mean they don’t have widereaching fan bases. But none of these acts have the crossover appeal of a Coldplay or Green Day. The electro-heads won’t be interested to hear over-the-hill Black Sabbath, and the metal heads wouldn’t step near the electronic area known as Perry’s Stage. This reality might sit just fi ne with Lollapalooza promoters, who book enough artists (over 100) to satisfy any music fan’s tastes. Promoters have had tremendous success increasing the amount of electronic dance acts, whose fans are the target audience of destination festivals. The area needed for Perry’s Stage seems to increase annually, and this year is no exception as promoters say they plan to relocate the stage once again. One of those electronic artists promoters brought in last year was Girl Talk, who during his performance slammed the idea of housing all the dance music under one tent rather

Booking niche acts, however, seems to have worked for the fest that sold out last year and will surely come close to selling out again this year. Still, it’s the niche artists whose music has crossover appeal that make this a bill worthy of buying a three-day pass.

Collapsed state fair stage did not meet safety standards to victims’ legal claims. During a 90-minute presentation to the Indiana State Fair Commission, officials from Thornton Tomasetti, an engineering company, and emergency planning advisers Witt Associates detailed the results of their separate investigations into the Aug. 13 collapse, which also injured dozens of people and which happened just before the country duo Sugarland was to perform.
BY RICK CALLAHAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — The stage rigging that collapsed and killed seven people at the Indiana State Fair last summer did not meet industry safety standards and the tragedy was compounded by the absence of a fully developed emergency plan, investigators concluded in reports released Thursday, likely adding weight
Fair organizers were not legally required to have the stage inspected because it was a temporary structure, Thornton Tomasetti reported. But company vice president Scott Nacheman told the commission that the metal rigging structure used to support speakers and lighting didn’t meet industry safety standards, which would require it to be able to withstand wind gusts of 68 mph.
Gusts reached an estimated 59 mph when the rigging collapsed, he said. The company determined that parts of the rigging’s support system began to give way at gusts of 33 mph and that by the time they reached 43 mph, the structure could no longer support itself. Testing showed gusts of 25 mph could have caused the structure to collapse. Thursday’s findings are expected to

Battle of the Orange and Blue Illinois backfield to feature Young, Ferguson in upcoming season
BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER
Running backs Donovonn Young and Josh Ferguson will share more than just a friendship next season. They will likely share the backfield for Illini football. “Me and Josh are actually best friends, so we just push each other,” Young said. “In the end, we’re all teammates and we just want the team to succeed. If Josh does good, that’s great. If I do good, that’s great because it’s gonna help the team. I’m not looking at it as ‘me against him’.” Both Ferguson and Young are coming off their first seasons at Illinois. Young finished with 87 carries for 451 yards and six touchdowns, but struggled with ball security at times. Ferguson redshirted the 2011-12 season after a hamstring injury derailed his freshman campaign. While Ferguson is healthy now, Young re-fractured his foot, an injury originally suffered in high school, when he made a hard cut during winter workouts. “Things happen, you know, and you gotta bounce back from them,” Young said. “I’m taking mental reps. ... I make sure I go over and watch carefully, watch what’s going on and then in the film room, we take care of what I need to know.” Head coach Tim Beckman said Ferguson is currently the No. 1 running back because Young’s injury kept him off the field until last week. “But what Donovonn showed me is that he’s very capable,” Beckman said. “I think Josh is a little bit more of a slash, get him the ball on the perimeter. Donovonn gets downhill and runs hard. He’s got great pad level, he’s bigger. Both of them have shown that they can be very, very successful against a pretty good defense.” The absence of Young has given Ferguson a chance to step up as the featured back this spring. “It’s been a great experience,” Ferguson said. “Putting some needed pressure on me to learn the new pays, finish the practice strong.” Junior quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase said the spread offense the Illini will run should tailor to Ferguson’s skills. “This offense, it puts you in space,” Scheelhaase said. “That’s a guy, for any defense, they don’t want to see him one-onone with anybody just because of what he can do with the ball in his hands.” The Illini do not have any junior or senior running backs on the roster, and with 87 career carries, Young is the most experienced of the bunch that includes three sophomores, two redshirt freshmen and three incoming freshmen. “That will be a great opportunity to step up ourselves,” Ferguson said. “Don

Spring scrimmage game offers first glimpse of Beckman-era Illini BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER
The stakes are high for Saturday’s Illinois football scrimmage. The winning team in the annual Orange and Blue Spring Game — from the players and coaches, to the staff and honorary alumni coaches — will receive a steak dinner. “This is a competition,” Illinois head coach Tim Beckman said. “The winner will be rewarded, the loser will get their beans and weenies. And that’s the way it is. That’s life, that’s the game of football.” Beckman said although it will be a controlled scrimmage, the Illini will approach it as if it’s a game. “There’s nothing that’s gonna be scripted,” he said. “I’ve been at places before where things are scripted so we get a big play. No, no, no. This is a game.” But there will be some differences. The second half will utilize a running clock except when the game is within one possession in the final two minutes. All coaches will be on the sidelines and quarterbacks will not be fully

Jeff George, Mike Holmes and Brit Miller will return to coach for the Orange team, and Dana Howard, Tim McCarthy and Doug Dieken will join the Blue team. Beckman will introduce the honorary coaches after the first quarter, accompanied by highlight videos from their days playing in orange and blue. Seven Big Ten teams will take the field for spring games Saturday along with Illinois, while the remaining five will do so by the end of the month, as each prepares to compete for the conference title next season. “Everybody is saying the same thing, that we want to go out there and win every game,” Scheelhaase said. “But it really comes down to who is going to go out there every day and get better, who’s gonna go out there and put in the extra work to be the best football team because ... ultimately one team is gonna do it moreso than anybody else.”

Illini softball overcomes Panthers to end 7-game losing streak
STAFF WRITER
“We had a really good weekend last weekend and our times and performances were really good, it was a big step forward.”
BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER
The Illinois softball team’s offense fi nally awoke from its slumber Thursday, scoring four runs to equal the total amount scored the previous seven games combined. The Illini (17-18, 2-7 Big Ten) needed extra innings to break their program-worst seven-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over Eastern Illinois (20-17, 10-6 Ohio Valley) in Charleston, Ill. Illinois’ last victory came on March 28 against Indiana State. The Illini needed the eighth inning of their eighth straight game to fi nally put up more than one run in a game. The lineup had gone 58-straight innings without scoring multiple runs in an inning. “We had our backs against the wall again, and the team did not give in and did not feel sorry for themselves,” head coach Terri Sullivan said. “It didn’t come easy, but we fi nally got the offense going today.” Panther’s left fielder Melise Brown led off the fourth inning with a triple to left center following three scoreless innings. One batter later, Eastern’s Reynae Hutchinson hit a grounder to Illinois’ second baseman Jami Schkade. The ensuing throw home was too late to

Illini baseball to face conference-leading Boilermakers Head coach Dan Hartleb seeks 200th victory in weekend’s road series in West Lafayette BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER
For the Illinois baseball team, getting to play at Busch Stadium was a dazzling opportunity. And while the facilities in West Lafayette, Ind., aren’t as nice, the games the Illini will play there this weekend hold greater importance. With a road series against conference leader Purdue (25-5, 7-2 Big Ten) on the weekend slate, Illinois (18-13, 3-3) has to shift its attention from ballparks to ballgames, something Illini head coach Dan Hartleb doesn’t see as a difficulty. “You don’t have to talk to these guys about refocusing,” Hartleb said. “It was a game on the schedule, and in a good venue but they
know it’s an important conference weekend. You don’t even have to talk to them about those things.” For Hartleb, the weekend’s series presents the opportunity to earn his 200th victory as Illinois’ head coach. “I didn’t even know it was gonna be my 200th win, honestly,” Hartleb said. “All that means is you’ve had some good players who’ve done a great job on the field, you’ve been surrounded by good assistant coaches. It goes next to my name, but it comes back to the team and everybody involved.” Hartleb is currently seventh on the all-time wins list at Illinois, but could be fifth by season’s end if he passes Wally Roettger’s
mark of 212 wins (Carl Lundgren, 209). Including this weekend, Illinois has 22 games remaining before the Big Ten Tournament. Purdue comes in atop the conference, having swept Northwestern last weekend. The Boilermakers have eight position players who are batting over .300 and two pitchers with ERAs under 4.00. Illinois, meanwhile, has five batters over .300 and no regular pitchers with an ERA under 4.00. The Illini’s Friday starter Kevin Johnson’s streak of fivestraight wins came to an end last week against Indiana. Johnson, who allowed seven earned runs in 2 2/3 innings against the Hoosiers, said he was missing his “put-away pitch.” “I’d get guys ahead, 1-2, 0-2, but just couldn’t put them away, but I worked a lot in the pen on that: throwing breaking balls that look like strikes, that hitters
will swing at when I’m ahead in the counts,” Johnson said. “I’m just not trying to be too perfect to where I make the count go 2-2 or 3-2 even and then have to throw a fastball right down the plate.” The Illini have been keeping their preparation steady, working in practice on shoring up their bunt defense, which has been an area of struggle for the team of late. “A lot of times we just get so into the moment that you don’t really think to talk and let the right guy make the play,” third baseman Brandon Hohl said. With the awe factor of playing at Busch Stadium having worn off, the Illini look to put a dent in Purdue to gain an advantage in the conference. “Every game means something, but when it comes down to it, these are the games that we need to win,” Hohl said.
“A lot of times we just get so into the moment that you don’t really think to talk and let the right guy make the play.” BRANDON HOHL, third baseman
With no game film available of the Beckman-era Illini, Beckman said the Illini won’t stray far from the basics during the controlled scrimmage. “Let’s all be realistic here,” Beckman said. “This is the first time that we’ve been on TV, and we’re not going to showcase everything we do. That wouldn’t be very smart.” Beckman said he’s installed about 50 percent of the playbooks on both sides of the ball in the 15-practice spring session. But he said Saturday’s spring game isn’t about practicing the intricacies of the offense or advancing defensive schemes. “We’re gonna play solid football,” he said. “We’re gonna tackle, block and do the things that we think are necessary for this to be a good football game.”
MEN’S TRACK FROM PAGE 1B to start out a little further along, but of course it was good to get the school record in the hammer in the first meet, but then I have had kind of some tough times,” Fraker said. With a significant meet coming up next weekend at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., the Illini will use this meet partially for rest but will stay focused. “It’s just really important that the guys keep their focus every week and try to keep getting better,” Turk said. “It really is just about being competitive, putting your best performance out there that day, we always stress to the guys every time you go out on the track it’s a chance to put a big performance out there, put a PR out there, show how competitive you are, and that’s what we really want to see continue.”

Chicago Cubs starter Matt Garza delivers a pitch against the Milwaukee Brewers during the first inning of a baseball game in Chicago. After a shaky start, Garza was close to unhittable on Thursday.
Garza achieves success after Dempster’s modifications THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Matt Garza felt a little off during his first two innings on Thursday. After a few quick adjustments on the advice of Ryan Dempster, he was close to unhittable. Garza pitched three-hit ball for 8 2-3 innings, and the Chicago Cubs sent Zack Greinke to his worst beating in 1½ years in an 8-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday that prevented a four-game sweep. Helping the Cubs improve to 2-5, Garza (1-0) struck out nine
and walked two — both in the first two innings. He induced Cesar Izturis to hit into an inning-ending double play in the second, starting a stretch in which he retired 16 of 17 batters. “I asked Dempster if he could look at something and right away he said, ‘Yeah. It looks like this,’” Garza recalled. “It’s awesome to have a guy like that on the bench.” Nori Aoki reached with two outs in the ninth when Garza threw his comebacker over first baseman Bryan LaHair and into
the stands for a two-base error. Garza was removed after 119 pitches and Shawn Camp needed just four pitches to end it, retiring pinch-hitter George Kottaras on a game-ending groundout. “I’m fine throwing it to the bases. It just slipped out,” Garza said. “All spring I was dotting him in the chest.” It would have been Garza’s first shutout since July 26, 2010, when he pitched a no-hitter for Tampa Bay against Detroit. “When I start something, I
intend to finish. I was one out away,” Garza said. “We won, that’s the plus side.” Greinke (1-1) allowed eight earned runs for the first time since Minnesota beat him — coincidentally the same day Garza threw his no-hitter. “After the first two innings keeping the ball down low, he started elevating his pitches,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. “I know they didn’t continue to hit the ball that hard, but everything fell apart and everything was placed perfectly.”

Sports analysts get paid to call out athletes KEVIN THORNTON Sports columnist
If
you haven’t been following the Skip Bayless vs. Jalen Rose feud that took place earlier this week on ESPN2’s “First Take,” I’d highly suggest checking it out — it’s hilarious. For those unfamiliar with “First Take,” it’s basically a louder, less entertaining version of “Pardon the Interruption” with Mike Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser. The show brings on different analysts, and the occasional athlete or celebrity, every day
to voice their opinions on a variety of sports topics, and basically it’s Bayless’ job to actively disagree with everything they say. If it’s a slow sports day, the producers will usually just throw Stephen A. Smith on the show and have the two yell at each other for a while. Before I go any further, I have to admit that I’ve always disliked Bayless. He’s ESPN’s version of Rush Limbaugh or Howard Stern. He loves to be that controversial loudmouth who stirs things up to make people angry and ultimately watch his show. Bayless has a history of some moronic opinions: He would rather take Tim Tebow over Aaron Rodgers in a two-minute drill, he thinks the NBA regular season is more
exciting than March Madness and kicking field goals is a silly way to decide football games. Given his history of over-exaggerating things, it should have been no surprise when Bayless tweeted on March 31: “Tall for age in 9th grade, chosen MVP of state-wide basketball camp over several future D1 Players. Decided I was Maravich. Coach disagreed.” Followed by another tweet: “FYI: I started for high school team that lost in state fi nals. Coach didn’t like me b/c I shot too much and he wanted me to be more PG.” Bayless found himself in a little trouble, however, when NBA Analyst Jalen Rose discovered that Bayless only averaged 1.4 points per game during the sea-
son in question. Rose, channeling his inner Terrell Suggs, obviously jumped at the opportunity to call Bayless out on Tuesday’s show, saying he was “Water Pistol Pete Jr,” instead of the “Pistol” Pete Maravich that he compared himself to. Exposing this truth escalated into a heated confrontation between Rose and Bayless that exploded over Twitter and other social media. Bayless’ self-delusion aside, is anyone really surprised to fi nd out that he wasn’t a particularly good basketball player? The day after the online uproar, Rose and Bayless sat down again to discuss the previous day’s events. Rose didn’t think it was appropriate for someone who wasn’t particu-
larly skilled himself to call out or pick on professional athletes. After about 10 minutes, Stephen A. Smith showed up to throw himself in the middle of the debate and grab himself a little bit of the spotlight by yelling and interrupting for 15 minutes. For those unfamiliar with Smith, he subscribes to the belief that if you can talk louder than your opponent in a debate and cut them off when they’re talking, you win. In this case, Smith must consider himself a winner because Rose appeared to be on the verge of tears, looking like the only sane person in a mental institution. Smith was defending Bayless and other similarly opinionated journalists, basically saying that
it’s his right to call professional athletes out when they deserve it. Although I typically don’t agree with “shock value” personalities like Smith and Bayless, I have to say I’d side with them on this one. Pro athletes understandably don’t like being called out by talking heads like Bayless, but as public figures, they need to get used to it. Despite the fact that I dislike Skip Bayless and how he operates, it’s his job to make the majority of America hate him. And I’ll admit it, he’s very good at what he does.

Hailey Koschmann is no stranger to success. Among many other achievements, Illinois women’s golf senior was the IHSA Class AA state champion in 2007. The early success in high school, however, did not put any extra pressure on her to perform well at the collegiate level. “I think there was a little bit of pressure, but I think that’s something everybody experiences going into college,” Koschmann said. “It wasn’t bad pressure, though, and it didn’t hurt me at all as much as it motivated me.” As a freshman at Illinois, Koschmann competed in nine of 11 events and posted a scoring average that ranked second overall on the team. Since then, she has ranked no lower than third in scoring average during her four years. “I never really thought about (scoring average), it was never something I considered. I just tried to go out there and do my best and not worry about how I was doing in relation to the team,” Koschmann said. “Whether I was first on the team or last, I was just trying to contribute what I could.” Arguably her best season was her sophomore year, when she ranked first in scoring average on the team and fourth all-time for the program. Koschmann placed first individually in two tournaments. She said those victories were her most memorable achievements during her time with the Illini. Koschmann credited her successes to everyone that has been a part of
the program, including her teammates. “The girls on the team are very competitive, we push each other in practice and in tournaments to give our best,” she said. “That has definitely helped both me individually and the team as a whole.” She also gave credit to head coach Renee Slone, who has been her coach throughout her entire collegiate career. “She’s helped me a lot in the mental game, in preparing for tournaments and staying focused,” Koschmann said. “She’s always pushing us to do better.” Slone was less modest in her assessment of Koschmann. The coach was impressed with her from the start, stressing that she has a huge will to win. “Hailey is very competitive, she does not like to lose,” Slone said. “She has an extra gear when it comes to that, so can kind of flip a switch and turn that mode on. That would be the thing that really sticks out about her.” With her career winding down, Koschmann is beginning to put together plans for life after golf. “I don’t really know (my exact plans), I don’t think I’ll be playing golf, but I hope to work in Chicago,” Koschmann said. Slone said Koschmann, an advertising major, has been interviewing for positions that correspond with her degree. Koschmann will compete in her final regular season tournament, the Lady Buckeye Spring Invitational, next week before postseason play begins with the Big Ten Championships on April 27.
