Autism Walk raises awareness Annual fundraiser brings families dealing with disease together BY EMMA WEISSMANN STAFF WRITER

Participants in Relay for Life walk a silent lap around the luminaria-encircled track at the Armory. The luminaria bags honored people who have been affected by cancer. Relay for Life was held from 7 p.m. Saturday until 7 a.m. Sunday.

Relay for Life unites community for a cause Overnight event signifies how ‘cancer doesn’t sleep’ BY BRYNN TWAIT STAFF WRITER

Cancer survivors and supporters of the American Cancer Society gathered together at the Armory on Saturday night to raise money for the fight against cancer. Because of rainy weather, the University’s 11th annual Relay for Life was held inside the Armory instead of on the Outdoor Track. More than 120 teams and nearly 1,300 people participated in the relay, which went from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. “It’s an overnight event, signifying the fact that cancer doesn’t sleep, so neither do we,” said Amanda German, area coordinator for the American Cancer Society office in Champaign. All money raised from the event goes toward the American Cancer Society. German said the goal for this year was to raise $150,000. By the end of the night, $112,205 had been raised, but all donations made before August 31 will also count toward this year’s goal. Donations can be made at relayforlife.org/uofi .

Relay for Life helps spread awareness about cancer, said Melanie Woerner, sophomore in ACES and team captain for the Sigma Delta Tau team. “It educates people about cancer, and it kind of unites them and helps them just fight the cause and realize how bad it is and how many people it affects and that something needs to be done to stop this disease from spreading,” Woerner said. She said one reason her chapter participates is that many of the members have been affected in some way by cancer. “My grandpa died of lung cancer before I was born, and recently, one of my teachers passed away from lung cancer,” Woerner said. “I’ve participated for them to fi nd a cure, so that other people don’t have to go through what my family went through.” The night started off with a survivor dinner, followed by the opening ceremony that honored survivors and their caretakers. Throughout the night, team members walked around the track as music was played from the speakers and a capella groups performed live. Around 10 p.m., a luminaria ceremo-

Michael may not be able to speak directly to you, but he may want to shake your hand or reach out for a tickle. Michael Kelly, who was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism at the age of two, and his mother, Pam, of Brocton, Ill., were just two of about 800 people to attend the Champaign-Urbana Autism Network’s fourth annual Autism Walk at Hessel Park on Sunday. Participants made one lap around the park after registering and attending a resource, safety and fun fair. The fair featured a police SUV and ambulance, face painting, miniature horses and booths set up by local businesses informing participants of community resources that provide support to families affected by autism. There were also raffle baskets and special guest speakers including State Sen. Michael Frerichs, D-52, and Diane Ducey, broadcaster for 93.5 Connect-FM. Kelly said she decided to come to the walk to learn about community resources and to feel the accompanying

Nationwide survey gathers info on undergrad life BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER

At the beginning of this semester, undergraduate students received an email from vice president and chancellor Phyllis Wise encouraging them to give their feedback in the National Survey of Student Engagement, or NSSE. This national survey, which also includes results from Canadian schools, was created to improve students’ undergraduate experiences based on the information they provide about their previous or current work environments and learning methods. Carol Livingstone, associate provost for management information and director of the division of management information, said the survey’s questions range from students’ workloads

and relationships with their professors to extracurricular activities and student interaction. “(NSSE) is a study of how students are engaged in learning and, perhaps, being transformed by being here,” Livingstone said. “It’s a national survey — one executed on many other campuses — so we can compare our students’ responses to those at other schools.” Unlike the recent climate survey sent out by Wise, which is a Universitywide survey targeted at students, faculty and staff aimed at understanding the campus environment, NSSE is sent out to undergraduate students at over 590 universities in the U.S. and Canada. The results are available for universities to recognize “modes of student learning,” Livingstone said. They mea-

sure how students perform in certain learning environments and what students do to further engage themselves in their education on campus. Livingstone said that NSSE also compares results from freshmen to results from seniors to see how students change over time and evaluate their growth. The data collected from students at the University will be analyzed and presented in an institutional report. The report includes a summary of the data from all students in the U.S. and Canada who participated in the survey to “generate an overall profile of the undergraduate student” for future research to improve undergraduate education, according to the NSSE website.

Soup kitchen launches 1st lunchtime event ‘EatCUOP Kitchen’ supplies food for 200 people, proves successful BY THOMAS THOREN STAFF WRITER

The 90-person capacity room of the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen filled up quickly Friday morning as 200 hungry men, women and children were treated to a rare meal of pizza and calzones. EatCU, a local food guide website, worked with area businesses to supply 40 pizzas and 10 calzones for its fi rst-ever lunch event, “EatCUOP Kitchen.” The uncommon main course offering — courtesy of Papa John’s Pizza, Domino’s Pizza, Fire Station Pizza and Pub, D.P. Dough and Rosati’s Pizza — could be part of the reason why the kitchen served more people than usual, said Zarina Hock, Friday crew chief and board member for the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen. The soup kitchen also relies on food donations from community members in addition to local businesses. She said the kitchen often serves a ham or beef-based main course, but also offers other well-liked foods such as spaghetti and other “standard, basic all-American food.” Hock said the kitchen’s chefs are “extremely good” at using the limited available ingredients to create new ideas for everyday meals. The soup kitchen also hosts “Taco Tuesdays,” supplied by El Toro, and gives out hot dogs from Sonic and bread from Panera Bread on a regular basis. The lunchtime soup kitchen is only open during the week, but a group of students helps to prepare about 400 sack lunches

with coffee every weekend. Danielle Reading, marketing intern for EatCU, said the restaurants that donated food were receptive to the idea of helping the soup kitchen. Dan O’Donnell, volunteer at the kitchen, said attendance was likely higher than usual because the month is about halfway completed, meaning some people have already spent their monthly paycheck and must rely on the soup kitchen for food. He said he expects a “big amount of people for the rest of the month” as more people will deplete the rest of their monthly food funds. Urbana resident Tim Tucker said he tries to supply his own food when he can and only comes to the kitchen for meals when it is a necessity. He said he has had to come to the kitchen every day this week, however, because he is struggling to pay off the remaining portion of a loan. The idea for “EatCUOP Kitchen” originated with Reading after she was hired last fall as an intern. She said she and the rest of the association’s EatCU committee members made plans to move forward with the idea over spring break. She said her committee and EatCU hopes to continue Friday’s “big success” next fall when they plan to host “EatCUOP Kitchen” one Friday per month. Hock said the kitchen would also like to see Friday’s lunch become a regular event. “Our guests would love it and we would love it,” she said.

Tornado deals heavy blow to Okla. town Early warnings credited with limiting casualties BY SEAN MURPHY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WOODWARD, Okla. — The television was tuned to forecasters’ dire warnings of an impending storm when Greg Tomlyanobich heard a short burst from a tornado siren blare after midnight Sunday. Then silence. Then rumbling. The 52-year-old quickly grabbed his wife and grandson, hurrying them into the emergency cellar as debris whirled

rural Kansas, and though communities there and in Iowa were hit, residents and officials credited days of urgent warnings from forecasters for saving lives. When Tomlyanobich emerged from the underground shelter after the storm subsided, he saw a scattered trail of destruction: home insulation, siding and splintered wood where homes once stood; trees stripped of leaves, clothing and metal precariously hanging from limbs. “It just makes you sick to your stomach. Just look at that mangled steel,” he said Sunday, pointing to what appeared to be a giant twisted steel frame that had landed in the middle of the mobile home park, which is surrounded

The storms were part of an exceptionally strong system tracked by the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., which specializes in tornado forecasting. The center took the unusual step of warning people more than 24 hours in advance of a possible “high-end, life-threatening event.” Center spokesman Chris Vaccaro said the weather service received at least 120 reports of tornadoes by dawn Sunday and was working to confi rm how many actually touched down. The storm system was weakening as it crawled east and additional tornadoes were unlikely.

Bridget Golden, sophomore in Education, said she came out to support autism awareness with a few of her classmates and to volunteer at some of the booths. “I just like to see all of the little kids happy and playing with the games,” Golden said. “We’re in a special education class where we learn about different ways to volunteer in the community, so we’re involved through our classes.” Dominique Simmons, coordinator of research programs in Psychology, said she came to the walk because certain undergraduate classes taught her about autism. She also said she wanted to become more involved in the community. “It’s really cool to know that so many people are supportive of parents who have children with autism,” Simmons said. “It really reflects a big sense of community and involvement.” Teresa O’Connor, walk committee chair for Sunday’s event, said the idea of walking around the park was not necessarily to encourage people to donate money, but rather, it was meant to be “symbolic.” The program is funded entirely by grants and is the only fundraising event that the C-U Autism Network holds per year. O’Connor said that many of the participants had a direct connection with the disorder, but there were other community members who just wanted to come out to learn about autism and support the cause. “Quite often, with families who have kids with autism, it’s almost like they isolate themselves because they’re afraid to go out in public because they never know what might happen,” O’Connor said. “And that’s the greatest thing about the walk. Just getting everybody together and seeing the families see other families who are dealing with [autism] and realizing that they’re not alone.”

THE CLOCKWORK MIND

It’s no conspiracy among scientists JOSEPH VANDEHEY Opinions columnist

appy summer, everyone! Yes, I know, it’s not technically summer yet, although try to convince the weather of that, would you? This March broke over 7,000 high temperature records nationally. For once, climatologists did not have to play defensively to the media: Reporters banged on their doors as the heat wave made headlines, demanding to know if this is all the result of global warming. Well, is it? Huh, huh, huh? Which means we’re at t-minus-five and counting for someone to denounce global warming as a hoax and sham. Conspiracy theories allege that scientists, and climate scientists in particular, are governed by a secret cabal who quash dissenting opinions and relegate the scientists who believe them to obscurity. But, like most conspiracy theories, they don’t conform well to reality. Scientific communities actually reward new ideas and dissent from the norm, often more than they would reward results which reinforce the consensus view. Provided the results are accurate, of course. Let me give an example much further away from the blisteringly hot topic of global warming and much closer to my own area of expertise: the Riemann hypothesis. The Riemann hypothesis is generally considered to be one of the biggest — if not the biggest — unsolved problems in mathematics, and there is a $1 million bounty on its proof or disproof. Most every mathematician I’ve met who works in a related field would, if pressed, tell you they think the hypothesis is true. I’m sure I have met someone somewhere who believes it’s false, but mathematicians don’t generally run around introducing ourselves to each other with a hand shake and pronouncement of “Hello my name is so-and-so, and I

believe the Riemann hypothesis is true.” Since the hypothesis is such a big problem of interest to so many mathematicians, if a prominent academic tomorrow claimed to have solved it, there would be a sudden rash of professors across the country taking a sick day so they could read the result. But I suspect if a serious paper came out tomorrow purporting to disprove the Riemann hypothesis instead, even more mathematicians would be sitting down to read it. When we spend so much time studying something, we don’t say things like “We believe such-and-such to be true” lightly. So when something comes out that circumvents our expectations, that tells us that there was something big — I mean huge — out there that we didn’t understand. Nothing makes an academic more excited than the prospect of a whole new ocean of knowledge just waiting to be explored. The research proposals practically write themselves. Likewise, if tomorrow someone showed a serious flaw in all the current climate models, this person would not be shunned and kicked out of their job. They would be on the cover of Nature and Science magazines for the next three months straight. However, part of the nature of being a conspiracy theory is that any time an aspect of it is torn down, there’s a more convoluted explanation waiting to shore it up. It’s not the logic of the arguments that matter but the end belief. So I don’t expect that this has changed anyone’s mind about climate change. But I hope, at least, it has made scientists seem less threatening. Besides, if science was truly governed by a secret cabal, do you think I’d really be allowed to tell you about — WARNING: The remainder of this column has been redacted for your protection. Nothing to see here. These are not the droids you are looking for. Move along.

ket after graduation. The fact that Westwood college was still churning out degrees with proof that their graduates were not being accepted into the job market is unacceptable. Madigan was right in her disapproval and pursuit of legal action against Westwood College. It is unsustainable that the $870 billion in loans continues rising, creating a bubble that will burst. We’ve seen this happen a number of times in our history, and each crisis began similarly and took an almost identical path of action. This has proven to be a predictable cycle, and it can start to be dismantled by holding institutions like Westwood College accountable for their irresponsibility.

This year, more than 200 University students volunteered as tutors at Urbana High School. Their knowledge and enthusiasm helped students, supported teachers and strengthened the connection between the campus and the community. The tutors came from many disciplines and for many reasons. Some came to gain experience in anticipation of careers in secondary education. Student organizations Phi Eta Sigma, Phi Delta Epsilon and The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers also supplied many willing and able tutors. In addition, a number of other students volunteered to tutor on their own — to give back, make a difference or just to help out. I have been extremely impressed by the commitment and dedication shown by the University’s tutors. In spite of busy schedules and heavy class loads, these students found time to reach out to the students of Urbana High School. And University tutors not only provided academic support, they have also been role models, mentors and friends to our students. On behalf of Urbana High School, I want to thank all of the University students who have tutored at our school. Your gifts of time, talent and energy have helped our students, our school and our community grow stronger. We greatly appreciate your hard work and dedication. Happy National Volunteer Week!

FROM HERE AND THERE

Virtual world reshaping communication REBECCA ROSSMAN Opinions columnist

much for approaching the cute girl standing by the soda fountain and asking her for a dance. Instead, the tale of modern courtship reads something like this: She was being attacked by a mob of beasts when a valiant stranger approached, rescuing her. After she let out a whispered ‘thank you,’ he asked if she would be interested in questing together. From there, it didn’t take long until they began having extended conversations against the backdrop of a tropical forest. For those that haven’t guessed yet, the fairy tale being described here didn’t start in the real world. These days, we are living in the virtual world, and in this case, World of Warcraft (WoW). Apparently, you really can find love in war. Some are calling WoW the future of online dating. The game’s 10 million subscribers stack up quite favorably against Match.com’s 2 million members or eHarmony’s 1 million. Also, the average dating site subscriber spends significantly less time on the site than Warcraft players spend in battle. It’s not just the statistics that should allure singles, Ramona Pringle, a professor of new media at the Ryerson School of

Image Arts in Toronto, told The New York Times. The game’s multiplayer structure encourages forming partnerships to battle monsters. “By going it alone, you won’t be able to master some of the game’s tougher challenges, you will likely take longer to reach the endgame and you don’t have access to the game’s most powerful magic treasures,” Pringle said. In the case of Ghrelsognn and Aleiriella, the two avatars from the tale of modern courtship described above, that’s exactly how it started. But their quest for monsters slowly evolved into chatting about their real lives. After months of online flirtation, the two worked up the courage to finally called each other on the phone. Several more months later, they decided to meet, this time in the real world. According to Aleiriella, their first meeting was truly magical. She was met by Ghrelsognn in the airport, and they were immediately smitten. Although there were unexpected differences, such as Ghrelsognn’s height, the two could instantaneously recognize characteristics about their partner that they had only known through the virtual world up to this point. Today, they’re married. In fact, Aleiriella even moved to Canada to be with Ghrelsognn. So is WoW a paradigm for modern love? Essentially, WoW becomes not so much a game (although this is its initial purpose) but a social networking experience, akin to Facebook or other dating sites. However, one of the benefits of WoW as a para-

digm for modern love is that it is a niche site, connecting individuals based on a serious gaming interest that both parties possess. The two people are able to “date” inside the game in what could be argued as a safe environment because of the virtual nature of these interactions. It also mirrors reality because, unlike a phone conversation, avatars within the game can hold hands and interact just as people do, eliciting a sense of closeness. While the example may be a bit extreme, there are certain characteristics of this WoW phenomenon that explain dating in the 21st century. For today’s generation, we don’t say our feelings aloud. Instead, technology has given us the ability to flirt via text, email, or in virtual chat worlds — choose your weapon. It makes sense. The awkward silences, nerves and inhibitions that come with face-to-face conversation can be pretty damaging. When we don’t face these burdens, we are left desiring something more, beyond the emotionless text message or email. The subtle benefits of face-to-face interaction are many, even beyond facial cues. The ability to be able to have a real conversation is a test for a genuine connection. In the meantime, however, the virtual world is calling. Well ... after a few texts, anyway.

International activists detained at Israeli airport BY JOSEF FEDERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM — Israel detained dozens of international activists as they landed at its main airport on Sunday, preventing them from entering the country to participate in a planned solidarity mission with Palestinians in the West Bank.

Pope asks followers for strength, prayers for birthday, anniversary BY NICOLE WINFIELD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI prayed Sunday for the strength to carry on as he marks two major milestones this week: his 85th birthday and the seventh anniversary of his election to the papacy. The comments, while innocuous, were the clearest sign yet that Benedict has no intention of resigning anytime soon despite his age and increasing frailty. “Next Thursday, on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of my election to the See of Peter, I ask for your prayers, so that the Lord gives me the strength to fulfill the mission he entrusted to me,” he said in French to thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square. Benedict has slowed down recently — he was seen in public for the first time using a cane when he boarded his plane for Mexico last month. During the long, six-day trip to Mexico and Cuba, he at times looked exhausted. He looked similarly tired during the busy Holy Week services that greeted him upon his return to Rome. But Benedict’s health is remark-

ably strong for someone his age. He has never canceled a planned event due to illness and suffers from no known chronic illnesses. Few men his age go to work every day, run a 1-billion strong church, write books, deliver speeches and meet with visiting heads of state. And Benedict has some very pressing issues on his agenda. The Vatican is expected to receive word soon from a breakaway group of traditionalist Catholics on whether they will accept the Holy See’s terms for reconciliation. The group, the Society of St. Pius X, opposes some of the core teachings of the Second Vatican Council, particularly its outreach to Jews. Benedict, who is not unsympathetic to some of their concerns, has worked since the start of his pontificate to try to bring them back under Rome’s wing out of fear that they are essentially creating a parallel church. On the other side of the spectrum are hundreds of dissident priests who are making their voices heard in Europe: Priest movements in Austria and Ireland are calling for a relaxation of the celibacy requirement for priests and

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Former Vice President Dick Cheney walked onstage without any assistance and spoke for an hour and 15 minutes without seeming to tire in his first public engagement since he underwent a heart transplant three weeks ago. He sat in a plush chair throughout the long chat with daughter Liz Cheney but looked better, even, than during recent appearances where he has been gaunt and used a cane. Cheney even threw in a couple of political plugs amid much reminiscing at the Wyoming Republican Party state convention in Cheyenne on Saturday. He said presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt

Romney is going to do a “whale of a job.” He said it’s never been more important than now to defeat a sitting president and the Republican Party should unite behind Romney. “He has been an unmitigated disaster to the country,” Cheney said of President Barack Obama. Cheney’s heart transplant in Virginia on March 24 initially canceled his trip to the state party convention but he got lastminute medical clearance to go. “I’m not running any foot races yet but it won’t be long,” he said. He owed a “huge debt” to the unknown donor of his new heart, he said, and to medical technology. He did not take the opportunity to weigh in on health care politics. He didn’t stumble in his words

and his voice was clear “I was amazed he was able to say so much over the whole course of an hour,” said one delegate to the convention, Helen Bishop, of Moran in Jackson Hole. “I thought it would be a really brief, ‘hi.’” Cheney neither arrived early nor stuck around to shake hands: It was fly-in, fly-out. Bishop speculated he might soon return to Jackson Hole, where he has a home in the exclusive Teton Pines neighborhood. He is an avid fly fisherman. Nearly all of the talk traced the more than 40 years of Cheney’s political career, including the controversial waterboarding and other interrogation practices the Bush administration employed to extract information from terrorist suspects.

US-led exclusion of Cuba threatens future of international summit BY FRANK BAJAK AND VIVIAN SEQUERA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RAHMAT GUL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An Afghan man examines the remains of a car after three suicide bombers were killed before they reached Jalalabad airport, which security forces say was their target, in Jalalabad, east of Kabul, Afghanistan. On Sunday, the Taliban launched a series of coordinated attacks on at least seven sites across the Afghan capital, targeting NATO headquarters, the parliament and diplomatic residences.

Boldest assault in years: Taliban attacks multiple Afghan cities BY HEIDI VOGT AND RAHIM FAIEZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban insurgents struck the heart of the Afghan capital and three eastern cities Sunday, firing automatic weapons and grenades at embassies, government buildings and NATO bases as they launched the spring fighting season with the boldest and most complex assault in years. The multi-pronged attacks show the Taliban and their allies are far from beaten and underscored the security challenge facing government forces as U.S. and NATO forces draw down. The majority of international combat troops are scheduled to leave by the end of 2014. The first blasts rocked the dip-

lomatic quarter of Kabul on Sunday afternoon, and soon gunshots and rocket-propelled grenade fire were ringing out across the city. Smoke rose over the skyline as sirens wailed. A loudspeaker at the U.S. Embassy could be heard barking: “Duck and cover. Move away from the windows.” One police officer and 17 militants were killed in the attacks, the most widespread in the Afghan capital since an assault on the U.S. Embassy and NATO headquarters last September blamed on the Haqqani network, a Pakistan-based insurgent group allied with the Taliban. Fighting continued more than 12 hours after the fi rst blasts, with explosions echoing into the night.

The sophistication and firepower of the latest strikes, as well as the high-profi le government and foreign targets, bore the hallmarks of the attack last fall and others carried out by Haqqani insurgents. As in the earlier attack, armed insurgents took over half-built buildings Sunday and used them to fire down on nearby embassies and bases. In the streets of Kabul’s Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood, where a NATO base and a number of embassies, including the U.S. Embassy, are located, residents scrambled for cover as gunfire rained down from all directions. “I saw two Land Cruisers pull up and two militants jumped

from the car,” said Mohammad Zakar, a 27-year-old mechanic who has a shop near the building commandeered by the militants. “They opened fire on an intelligence service guard ... They also fired and killed an Afghan policeman and then they jumped into the building. All the shops closed. I ran away.” Across town at the parliament building, insurgents climbed to the upper floors of another empty building and fired on lawmakers below. A few legislators climbed on the roof of the parliament and fired back. “I shot up to 400 or 500 bullets from my Kalashnikov at the attackers,” said Mohammad Nahim Lalai Hamidzai, a lawmaker from Kandahar.

CARTAGENA, Colombia — Could this weekend’s gathering of about 30 Western Hemisphere leaders be the last Summit of the Americas? The question hung in the air as the leaders convened Sunday for a private morning retreat. Washington, backed by Canada, was standing fast against widespread demands to include in the meeting’s fi nal declaration language specifying that Cuba be included in future hemispheric summits. “All the countries here in Latin American and the Caribbean want Cuba to be present. But the United States won’t accept,” President Evo Morales of Bolivia told reporters late Saturday. “It’s like a dictatorship.” Morales and other leftist leaders have been insistent that this weekend’s meeting in this Caribbean colonial port, which wraps up at midday, will be the last regional summit under Organization of American States auspices unless Cuba is invited in the future. The top international adviser to Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, Marco Aurelio Garcia, said the differences could mean the summit will end with no final declaration. U.S. President Barack Obama’s

peers lectured him Saturday over his unflagging opposition to Cuban participation due to U.S. objections to the communist-governed Caribbean island’s lack of democracy. But a senior U.S. administration official said in a briefing for White House reporters Saturday evening that the subject did not come up in any of Obama’s brief meetings on the summit’s sidelines with the leaders of Guatemala, El Salvador, Argentina and Peru. The foreign ministers of Venezuela, Argentina and Uruguay have said their presidents won’t sign any declaration unless the U.S. and Canada remove their veto of future Cuban participation. Asked if Obama and the leaders discussed the question of countries not signing off on the final declaration, the official said, “No.” The Cuba issue led Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa to boycott the summit, and Nicaragua’s leftist President Daniel Ortega also sat out the meeting, though he offered no explanation. Venezuela’s cancer-stricken president Hugo Chavez also was absent. He flew Saturday to Cuba, where he has been undergoing radiation therapy. Even moderates such as Santos and Rousseff said there should be no more America’s summits without the communist island.

He was the first selection when the seniors drafted the teams Tuesday night. “I’ll be making the trip to get a barbacoa burrito,” he added. The Blue took a one-point lead on a 47-yard field goal by sophomore kicker Nick Immekus with 1:22 remaining in the controlled scrimmage. The

loss was a spring-game first for Scheelhaase, who was on the winning side the previous two seasons. “It was disappointing, but this was fun,” he said. “Whether it’s a spring game, whether it’s the first game of the season, whether it’s the Big Ten Championship game, it comes down to the same things: holding on to the ball, executing. ... It’s all things we learn from. That’s why you practice them. That’s why you have game-like situations, just so you know.” Neither Scheelhaase nor sophomore quarterback Reilly O’Toole distinguished himself in the scrimmage, and head coach Tim Beckman described the quarterback play as “off and on.” He didn’t offer any insight into his plans to use the two quarterbacks during the season. “We got to get better, but not just at quarterback,” Beckman said. “That’s the one that’s always looked at. That’s the one that’s always critiqued. Every position.

The Illinois softball team snapped Wisconsin’s ninegame winning streak but dropped two of three games to the Badgers over the weekend. The Illini lost game one Saturday and split a doubleheader Sunday. The Orange and Blue (1820, 3-9 Big Ten) dropped Saturday’s opener 8-0 after wet conditions pushed the start time back an hour. The Illinois defense committed four errors, which led to four unearned runs. Pitcher Pepper Gay accounted for two of those errors, twice failing to hit the fi rst baseman on balls batted back to the circle. Gay’s second error was an underhanded toss that was bounced to fi rst baseman Danielle Vaji . “We didn’t make great defensive plays at some critical times,” head coach Terri Sullivan said. “We had some early momentum. I liked our approach at the plate, I thought that we were keeping them off balance.” Wisconsin second baseman Whitney Massey drove in two runs for the Badgers, scoring twice. Both Gay and Jackie Guy surrendered four runs from the circle Saturday. Illinois got ahead early in the fi rst game of Sunday’s doubleheader when shortstop Jessica Davis blasted a home run to left field. The Badgers (24-13, 8-4) would answer with a run of their own in the third, coming on another throwing error from Gay. Gay missed catcher Stephanie Cuevas on a throw home with the bases loaded. “She’s never had this problem before,” Sullivan said. “You see it in the major leagues as well, sometimes you get in a funk, but she’ll get out of it. She’s fi ne.” The Illini put up four more runs in the fourth inning, scoring the fi rst when Jess Perkins scored on a Danielle Vaji bunt that was thrown into right field by the Badgers. The following pitch, Vaji scored on a suicide squeeze from designated player Jenna Mychko. “I had the bunt sign and she threw me a changeup,” Vaji said. “So that was kind of a gift. It was a big momentum changer. A couple of hits came after that, so it really did spark the offense.” Entering the seventh inning down 8-3 , Wisconsin mounted a furious rally to score four runs and put the tying run on second base. Gay managed to get Wisconsin right fielder Mary Massei to fly out to center for the fi nal out of the game. The rubber match was highlighted by a barrage of home runs from Wisconsin.

You won’t find models in slinky dresses and stilettos on this runway. Instead, you’ll find gymnasts dressed in leotards with chalked feet. The vault is one of four events junior Alina Weinstein will compete in at the NCAA Championships in the all-around competition for Illinois women’s gymnastics. The vault has proved to be somewhat of a struggle for the Illini this

year, but Weinstein saw the weak point as an opportunity to step up as a leader and improve her personal score for the team. “I’ve been trying to make my vault as good as possible because I knew that this was an event that was generally a lot weaker for us,” Weinstein said. “We had Amber (See), our Big Ten Vault Champion, struggle a little bit on vault. She has a beautiful vault when she can hit it but she struggled with consistency this year. I knew that I needed to be dependable and I knew that the vaults that I was doing last year weren’t going to cut it.” Weinstein set a new careerhigh of 9.875 with her upgrade. Posting this score during a meet

later in the season against Kentucky allowed Weinstein to earn her first-ever vault crown. Weinstein averages a vault score of 9.808 this season, surpassing her all-around team competitor Kelsey Joannides, who averages a 9.794. Weinstein had the pressures of taking on a leadership role as well as upgrading her vault in the beginning of the season, and now has a more relaxed mindset competing in the event. “This event is actually kind of fun for me now, because I think that I’ve been doing really well in practice and in the competitions to really take my vault up

Men’s gymnastics undergoes unusual preperation Editor’s note: This is the first of a fourpart series previewing the men’s gymnastics NCAA Championships in Norman, Okla., on April 19-21. BY EMILY BAYCI SENIOR WRITER

In the slight chance of a crazed fan running into the Lloyd Noble Center and throwing foam blocks at gymnasts or a tornado rolling through Norman Okla., and all the gymnastics apparatuses turning sideways, the Illinois men’s gymnastics team will be prepared. Illinois head coach Justin

Spring has spent the last few weeks anticipating every freak occurrence that could possibly happen, so the Illini will be ready come the biggest meet of their careers: the NCAA Championships. One of his favorite ideas is having mock meets similar to that of a championship meet, with everybody performing one at a time like they will this weekend. Even crowd noise blares over the loudspeaker to stimulate the environment. Spring walked in one day and his athletes grumbled, thinking

he was going to blare the crowd noise again. “Not today,” he said. “Today we’re having no noise at all. Absolutely nothing.” The women weren’t in the gym that day with their floor routine music, there weren’t any high school athletes running laps around the upstairs track and all side conversations stopped. Dead silence fi lled the gym. “The guys would make mistakes at first and someone would start cheering at the beginning of the routine,” Spring said. “Then they would catch themselves and

be quiet.” The gymnasts were allowed to cheer once an athlete completed his routine, but not a sound was heard before that. “That was probably the worst thing we ever did to the guys,” Spring said. “It was very eerie and quiet in here. Talk about being prepared, because it probably won’t ever be like that in a meet.” Aside from noise, many of Spring’s ideas include tampering with gymnasts specific routines. He threw foam blocks in front of gymnasts mid-floor rou-

tine, so they would have to alter their plan of action. Sophomore Jordan Valdez performed his high bar routine without warming up and facing the opposite direction he normally faces. “It takes you out of your comfort zone,” Valdez said. “I still hit it, though, my high bar routine is pretty consistent.” Paul Ruggeri was working on his pommel horse routine another day when he had to face sophomore Mike Wilner, who was sitting under the apparatus. He tried to maintain his concentra-

tion and avoid falling on Wilner, who was staring at him the entire time. “It defi nitely throws you off your normal cycle,” Ruggeri said. “It helps you to react to different situations, so you don’t get to comfortable.” The odds are slim that any of these situations will ever happen in a real competition, especially the championships. “The situation was there and they went through it and hit, and that’s the whole idea,” Spring said. “To be prepared for anything.”

Illinois finishes weekend strong, defeats Penn State 5-2 BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s tennis team has proved the ability to adapt all season. Despite inclement weather that moved both weekend matches indoors, the Illini adjusted and were able to beat Penn State 5-2 Sunday at Atkins Tennis Center. “Our team has adapted incredibly well all year,” head coach Michelle Dasso said. “We’ve played in all kinds of conditions. We played in windy conditions, rain breaks, inside, outside. They’ve handled each challenge, and that’s really a testament to our girls’ toughness.” No. 23 Illinois (15-6, 7-2 Big Ten) set the tone early, sweeping all three doubles matches to take a 1-0 lead overall . In singles, the Illini went 4-2, with senior Marisa Lambropoulos earning the clinching victory. Amy Allin and Rachael White earned singles wins for Illinois, as well as sophomore Allison Falkin, who upset No. 74 Petra Januskova 7-5, 3-6, 1-0 (10-5). Freshman Melissa Kopinski dropped her match 6-3, 6-2 and senior Chelcie Abajian was ahead 6 - 4, 1-3 before withdrawing with an ankle injury. Dasso pulled her after Lambropoulos had clinched the overall match for Illinois. “She’s playing a little beat up,” Dasso said. “She has a slight tear in her ankle, so we’re just being smart. We want to keep her healthy and keep her as an option for the end of our season.”

Illinois has won eight of its last nine matches, while Penn State (11-9, 3-6) has lost five of its last six. There are only two regular season opponents left for Illinois, and the team is determined to be playing its best tennis when it matters the most. “Confi dence is key,” White said. “I think we’re playing consistently well which is always important and really clicking as a team.” Both Falkin and Allin fi nished the weekend with two singles wins, picking up victories in their Friday match against Ohio State, where the team won 4-3. Falkin completed a perfect weekend, as the combination of her and Abajian were 2-0 in doubles matches. “I can’t complain,” Allin said. “We played very well, very aggressive like we needed to and got it done.” Illinois stayed just one game back in the Big Ten standings and currently would be the three seed going into the Big Ten Tournament. No. 11 Northwestern (15-7, 8-1) swept Penn State and Ohio State this weekend , while No. 14 Michigan (14-6, 8-1) also grabbed a pair of wins. No. 17 Nebraska (213, 7-2) lost to Michigan on Friday, falling under Illinois in the standings as a result of the head-to-head tiebreaker. Illinois beat the Cornhuskers 4-3 on March 24 . “My team continues to impress me,” Dasso said of Sunday’s victory. “This was the best match across the board for us.”

Baseball continues season-long trend against Big Ten competition BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER

Despite three chances in three games to buck a seasonlong trend, the streak continued for Illinois baseball. The Illini (18-16, 3-6 Big Ten) lost all three contests to conference-leading Purdue (28-5, 10-2) over the weekend, pushing their record to 0-16 when trailing after five innings. “It’s defi nitely frustrating to know that we can’t come back right now,” sophomore Thomas Lindauer said. “Somebody has to step up sooner or later and make a big play or get a big hit, or it’s gonna be a tough Big Ten season.” Comparatively, Illinois was

10-18 last season when trailing after the fifth inning. Illinois had the tying run at the plate in the eighth inning or later in all three games. Friday’s contest was a pitcher’s duel, and though Illini starter Kevin Johnson pitched a complete game, it was Purdue’s Joe Haase who earned the win in 7 and 2/3 innings of shutout work. Haase was pulled in the eighth inning, and the Boilermakers bullpen kept Illinois scoreless. Purdue won by a fi nal of 3-0. Johnson allowed three earned runs off eight hits in the eightinning effort. He did not surrender a walk or hit a batter. “It was a tough loss, obviously we didn’t hit as well as we’d

planned pretty much all weekend, but Friday especially, just being shut out — it was kind of a tough game,” Johnson said. Saturday’s contest was postponed due to rain, setting up a doubleheader for Sunday. The Illini used Saturday to practice at Purdue’s indoor facilities, but the extra reps were not enough to reverse Illinois’ fortunes for Sunday. In the fi rst game of the doubleheader, starter John Kravetz allowed one run through five innings, but was unable to record an out in the sixth before allowing two more runs. The Illinois lineup again struggled, leaving eight runners on base to match the team’s eight hits. First base-

man Jordan Parr scored in the ninth inning to break a 19-inning scoreless streak. The Illini had runners on first and second with no outs in the ninth before two pinch hitters led to the game’s fi nal three outs. Thomas Shelton struck out, and David Kerian followed by grounding into a game-ending double play. “When I put those pinch hitters in, I put ‘em in for some guys that hadn’t swung the bat well,” head coach Dan Hartleb said. “And I wanted to give somebody a chance off the bench to come in and help us out. ... They didn’t produce, but at the same time the guys that were in there (Kelly Norris-Jones and Bill Charvat)

had had multiple chances and hadn’t produced all weekend.” The second game of Sunday’s doubleheader was the closest Illinois came to notching that elusive comeback win, as a single from Lindauer tied the game in the top of the eighth inning. Purdue responded with two runs in the bottom half to pull away from Illinois. Brian de la Torriente started the weekend’s fi nal game on the mound, as opposed to typical Sunday starter Josh Ferry. “Brian earned the start, he did a very good job against (Eastern Illinois on Tuesday) and I thought he did some good things (Sunday), worked his way out of some jams,” Hartleb said. “We didn’t

!!!"#$%&'%&&%(%")*+ !!!"#$%&'%&&%(%")*+ !!!"#$%&'%&&%(%")*+

help him out in the first inning, we had a routine double-play ball that we boot. If you make that play, ... it’s a 1-2-3 inning basically. Instead, it ends up being two runs, and we lose by two runs.” Though the weekend looked to be a battle of two powerful lineups, it was the pitching and defense that paced the games, as Purdue’s five runs Sunday were the highest output from either team all weekend. “I thought the defensive and pitching sides of the game were as good as I’ve seen in two years,” Lindauer said. “We’re both supposed to be good hitting teams, but the pitching and defense really shut it down this weekend on both sides.”

Junior quarterback Miles Osei passed for 115 yards, completing 8-of-12 of his throws while also playing running back and wide receiver. “We’ve got to be a little bit more consistent,” Scheelhaase said. “You’ve got different guys playing different positions and it is a little different, but for sure we’ve got to be better execution-wise.” All of the quarterbacks had to contend with a relentless pass rush on both sides that recorded nine total sacks, including 4.5 by senior Michael Buchanan, who

The Illini have also been missing fellow senior Kelley Wedel , who has also been out for two weeks with a hand injury. “They’re big contributors most of the time,” said Vaji, who is fi lling in at fi rst base for Hackett. “With those two out, Nikki and I both know that we need to be leaders and be that spark for the team.” Although the Illini dropped the series, Sullivan was encouraged by the performance of the offense. “There’s a lot of hitters on this team that we’ve believed in all season,” she said. “They just needed to get that fi rst big hit to get the offense going.”

miere yurchencko fulls within the country.” Weinstein’s lack of experience in the vault has helped her develop her strengths and focus less on her weaknesses. “It’s funny because this didn’t use to be a strong event for me, but I really learned how to gain height on this event,” Weinstein said. “I guess my strength is that I can set up a good vault and go really high on it and obviously have a good landing. I have been working a lot on sticking my vault, and so everything just came together at regionals. ... If I can pull all of that together again at nationals, then I think that could potentially get me a really good score.”

whole point higher this season at 9.808 than 2010-11’s 9.704. “Her vault has developed immensely,” said Illinois head coach Kim Landrus, who has watched Weinstein’s development on the vault more than anyone. “She did not compete vault until regionals her freshman year. She had been working on it, but it wasn’t quite ready. Sophomore year, she did compete vault, but it was just a yurchenko full, a common vault for about 90 percent of the country. Alina’s is just another yurchenko full, but she has really worked on her technique. She’s worked on getting a lot of power, distance, height, and it has really progressed into one of the pre-

and to work on my power to have a really high vault,” Weinstein said. “When I’m going for my vault at the beginning of the runway, it really is a fun thing for me. It’s like, ‘OK, well am I going to stick it this time,’ and how high is it going to be? ... This is one event where you run down the runway and it’s over in a matter of 10 seconds, but it’s exhilarating when you stick that vault.” Aside from competing against other teams this season, Weinstein has been in steady competition with one of her own teammates. Her friendly rivalry with

Joannides is a factor that Weinstein attributes to her success. “Kelsey is an amazing competitor and an amazing friend to me,” Weinstein said. “We had the perfect balance of friendly competition and just being friends. I think that is a very special relationship to have with one of your teammates. ... We competed with each other all year because we knew that we were each other’s biggest competition. I knew that if I didn’t stick my vault, that Kelsey would, and that drove me to do my best in every competition.” Weinstein scored a 9.8 on the vault at her fi rst-ever appearance at the NCAA Championships with the Illini in 2011. Weinstein’s average on the vault is almost a

assessments to be made. The Illini’s 12-game slate features seven home games, all winnable. Games at Ohio State, Wisconsin and Michigan will more than likely be losses, but road contests against Arizona State and Northwestern are toss-ups. A third-consecutive 6-6 regular season with the potential for a third-straight bowl appearance was on display Saturday. Anything exceeding that will be welcomed with open arms. The coach, whose personality has been metaphorically said to make caffeine nervous, has used that same trait to reinvent the buzz around a team that deserves it.

reverse flea-fl icker play calls can give you an idea of what to expect. Seeing Hawthorne on the offensive side of the ball was what was most intriguing Saturday. With the likes of Oklahoma and Missouri among others that joined Illinois in the recruiting of Hawthorne, it’s anybody’s guess as to why he chose the Illini over programs that have been better in recent memory. One could assume Illinois presented an opportunity to play wide receiver and cornerback, but all that matters is instead of wasting all four years of his speed and athleticism on one side of the ball, Beckman has intentions to utilize it on offense as well. Ambiguity is a mainstay with a new coach, but a depth chart and a regular season schedule always allows for

affair was something to see. Besides awarding the victor with steaks, which the Blue Team earned with a 13-12 victory for those keeping score at home, Beckman allowed his players to draft the two teams and fans to call two offensive plays. He even dusted off a spring game trophy that hadn’t been used since 2002 — or in other words, since Ron Zook was hired. What Beckman’s predecessor didn’t do and ultimately resulted in his dismissal was maintain consistency, particularly in the win department. Even in a season that started off 6-0 , the Illini failed to win a game for nearly three months, something

Akeem Spence and the aforementioned Buchanan. Beckman chose not to showcase special teams, but the 14 punts it did show kept conversation about last season’s offensive struggles alive. If there’s one thing worth noting, it was the creativity Beckman’s Illini showed. Junior Miles Osei’s developing role in 2012 will be an interesting one. Seeing him return punts and play quarterback, running back and wide receiver in one outing was all anyone needed to know that the coaching staff will exercise his versatility. As a new coach in the conference, it’s likely Beckman kept his playbook a surprise for the regular season. But witnessing Osei at multiple positions and double-

while also returning key contributors from the 2011 team. Of those key contributors, senior Michael Buchanan was a menace in collecting 4.5 sacks, and fellow senior Terry Hawthorne caught a touchdown pass, played cornerback and returned punts. On offense, sophomore running back Josh Ferguson used bursts of speed and some quick cuts to rack up 150 yards, including a 68-yard scamper. Given fellow sophomore Donovonn Young’s foot injury and ongoing fumble woes, expect Ferguson to make big contributions. Sophomore Reilly O’Toole slightly outperformed two-year starter Nathan Scheelhaase at quarterback. O’Toole, however, had to deal with Glenn Foster,

that sucked the wind out of an Illinois sail that had the potential for, dare I say it, three BCS bowl games in one 10-year span. While Zook’s coaching deficiencies, memories Illini fans need not recall, shot a Memorial Stadium-sized hole through that Illini sail, it did not completely sink the ship. Beckman’s visor-clad, grayhaired head may resemble that of Zook’s, but his passion and football background tell another story. Having not had consistent winning seasons since the late ‘80s, Illini fans may be skeptical buying into another football coach. What cannot be forgotten amidst the transition from Zook to Beckman is that the Illinois football team is vying for its third-consecutive winning season and its thirdconsecutive bowl appearance,
