Wall built for Palestine Week Students for Justice in Palestine aims to raise critical awareness of West Bank

BY SAFIA KAZI ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

As a response to growing tensions in the Middle East, a registered student organization, Students for Justice in Palestine, or SJP, is hosting Israeli Apartheid Week to bring attention to conflict in the West Bank.

A major point of contention in the West Bank is the separation barrier that is being built by Israel. Construction on the barrier began in 2002, said Farhad Malekafzali, political science lecturer.

The barrier is about 60 percent complete, with 80 percent of it running inside the West Bank. He said this barrier has been built without regard to existing communities.

“People on one side don’t have access to hospitals, school or work,” he said. “People often need permits to farm their own land.”

Josh Gibbs, president of Hillel, a center for Jewish life on campus, said Israel Week is next week. This will feature a day on the Quad, a party for the holiday Yom Ha’atzmaut, a dance performance and a barbecue.

Prior to an expert panel, SJP set up a large wall outside the English Building. Dana Al-Qadi, member of SJP and graduate student, said this wall was inspired by the wall in the West Bank.

“Palestinians live in an open-air prison. It’s very hard for us (living in Champaign) to under-

Josh Schwenk, senior in LAS, left, and Jesse Phillippe, of Urbana, both support Students for Justice in See WALL, Page 3A Palestine. They helped raise a section of the wall Monday.

Although University President Michael Hogan will officially end his term at the end of June, advancement of the revised enrollment management plan will proceed as Robert Easter, interim vice-chancellor for research, takes over.

The Springfield campus’ senate reviewed the document at its meeting April 6, while the Chicago campus will review it Thursday and the Urbana campus will review it April 23.

Once the plan is reviewed by the three campus senates, it will come back to the University Senates Conference and will be sent to the office of the president for approval.

University Senates Conference chair Don Chambers said the final document will go back to the Board of Trustees for fi nalization only after it has been reviewed by the campus senates and approved by HOGAN each president as well as the University Senates Conference.

The original plan was revised after Hogan and Board of Trustees chairman Christopher Kennedy as well as the University Senates Conferences met twice in January and again in February in response to initial negative feedback. The plan intends to manage future student EASTER enrollment more effectively on all three Illinois campuses.

However, after Hogan resigned in March, questions arose regarding the status of the plan as Hogan was part of the revising process for the document.

Despite this latest change in leadership, Chambers said the document will move forward to the next steps in the revision process without Hogan.

“I don’t expect to see many changes,” Chambers said at the end of March. “At first, there were three or four minor concerns, but they were all addressed.

We (the University Senates Conference) are 100 percent satisfied with the document.”

Nicholas Burbules, vice chair of the University Senates Conference and a member of the UrbanaChampaign Senate, said he is also pleased with the final revisions of the document.

“I feel a lot more comfortable than I did with the original proposal,” he said.

Burbules said it has not been clear what changes will be made to the enrollment management plan once Easter steps in.

Cycling course teaches students safety, rules Class emphasizes road equality for bikes, cars

BY PULU WANG STAFF WRITER

As part of Earth Week, a free CyclingSavvy course was offered to students Monday night at the Activities and Recreation Center and was sponsored by Champaign County Bikes and Students for Environmental Concerns. The course is part of a three-session series.

Gary Cziko, a retired University professor and organizMore on-air: er of the event, said he hosted the course Tune in to WPGU 107.1- because of his interest in cycling.

FM at 5 p.m. for “Bicycing for me more information has so many good on upcoming qualities to it, but CyclingSavvy people are often courses. fearful to ride because they are afraid of the traffic, so we are trying to show them that traffic is nothing to worry about if they know

what they are doing,” he said.

The three-hour course, “Truth and Techniques of Traffic Cycling,” provided students with rules of the road, bicycle safety and traffic cycling problem solving.

“We (also) have on-bike parts (of the educational series) that deal with being able to control your bicycle and actually getting out into the traffic and going through various situations,” Cziko said.

“It’s to be able to use a bicycle safely for transportation wherever you want to go.”

The event was intended to teach students that cyclists have control and are equals on the road.

Daniel Guico, junior in ACES, said after he got a new bike, he was unsure of the rules and how to interact with cars on the road until he attended the course where he said he learned some “typical safety precautions.”

“A lot of things I wouldn’t have thought of, especially going in the center of the (road) for intersections,” he said. “This is kind of eye-opening.”

Cziko focused on two basic ideas dur-

ing the course that are important for bicycle safety: to be visible and predictable to other drivers on the road.

Kelly Payne, junior in AHS, said she is excited about the event because she recently fi xed her bike, but she also wants to be safe on the road.

“I don’t want to put myself in danger or other people in danger on the road,” Payne said.

Cziko said he loves cycling and wants other people to do it because it has a lot of added benefits.

“This is Earth Week. It’s a very sustainable form of transportation. It’s exercise. It enhances the community. It’s not noisy; (it requires) less gasoline.” he said.

“There is an ecological reason, an economic reason. It’s less expensive. You are not paying all your money for the oil. There are also house reasons and community reasons.”

The follow-up session for the course will be held May 5 from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at a location to be announced in Champaign-Urbana.

With 700 security cameras installed over the past three years, the University police department, is continuing to strengthen its camera system.

Detective and security camera technician Tim Hetrick of University Police said that in August 2010, he had 13 cameras in the system. He now has roughly 700 cameras that he is responsible for. He said it was a lot of work to have that amount of cameras installed in such a short period of time.

The police department owns only about 20 of those cameras, which are on the exteriors of buildings in major foot traffic areas while other cameras are located on and inside University and apartment buildings. Hetrick said that each department within the University is responsible for paying for its own cameras and installation.

He said that they install cameras on a need basis to combat certain situations, such as when there were problems with signs and artwork being stolen on Nevada Street.

Capt. Skip Frost of University Police said “they would love to cover every square inch of campus,” but that is just not possible. He added that they try to put cameras in the most effective locations around campus, and so far, it

awareness about the situation, AlQadi said; it is also about making people think critically.

“We want to make the community more educated and critical of the apartheid,” she said. “We also want people to learn to question and not accept everything (they hear) in the media.”

Some students said the week is important to the campus community.

“This event can raise awareness and promote a dialogue,” said

Uzma Ahmad, sophomore in AHS. In addition to promoting a discussion, attendees like community member Jesse Phillippe said the events of Israeli Apartheid Week have the potential to influence the University’s political ties.

“I think that (this event) could potentially get people more interested in the issue,” Phillippe said.

On Monday, the University participated in Israeli Apartheid Week by hosting a panel of experts on this subject. Teresa Barnes, pro-

fessor of African studies and history, spoke at the event. She discussed the history of the apartheid, specifically its manifestation in South Africa. She said regardless of what it’s called, discrimination is harmful. Even though some people may not think there is an apartheid in the West Bank, she said, it is still detrimental.

“Whatever (they’re) called, policies that divide people from each other are inherently destructive and violent,” Barnes said.

Urbana police charge gunshot victim with giving false information

From left to right, Farhad Malekafzali, political science professor; Teresa Barnes, African studies and history professor; and Robert Naiman, policy director of Just Foreign Policy, speak during a panel discussion called “Apartheid 101.” The event took place in the English Building on Monday.

A 25-year-old Urbana male was arrested April 10 on the charge of obstruction of justice and falsifying information as to his whereabouts when he suffered a gunshot wound, according to an Urbana police report.

According to the police report, shortly before noon on April 10 , the suspect went into Carle Clinic to be looked at for a gunshot wound. When Urbana police officers arrived to question the offender, he said the wound was from an incident in Indianapolis.

Urba na officer Osc a r Gamble said the incidence was suspicious because it is unusual for someone to travel from Indiana to Urbana with a gunshot wound.

Urbana police staff said they also believe the offender could be wanted by the Champaign Police as he could be involved in another investigation regarding fi rearms.

However, officers at the scene believed the offender’s

statement was false, Gamble said.

He said police who were at the hospital believed he was lying to prevent officers from linking him to an unlawful discharge fi rearm investigation in Champaign.

By lying, Gamble said the offender may have thought that by providing false information about where he was shot could get him out of prosecution in the Champaign case.

“He was trying to send them (the Urbana officers) on a wild goose chase,” Gamble said.

Gamble said the alleged lie, which is considered planting false evidence, was the offender’s attempt to try and free himself from the Champaign case — it does not necessarily mean he was trying to plant any physical evidence in a particular location.

There is no word yet on the Champaign department’s involvement on this case.

However, Gamble said further details suggest “it doesn’t look like he was hiding a gun” at the time of his arrest.

Virginia Tech remembers shooting, but students return to class THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

32 lives that were “hastily taken, leaving absences that will never be filled and a profound sense of sorrow in the lives of those impacted,” the proclamation reads in part.

At 9:43 a.m. Monday — the time when gunman Seung-Hui Cho began killing 30 students and professors at Norris Hall — McDonnell was calling for a moment of silence in Virginia. The Capitol Square Bell Tower in Richmond will then toll for each victim.

On campus, events will also include a community picnic on the Drillfield, a display of memorial items sent to Virginia Tech from other colleges and universities and performances. Several locations have been set aside on campus as “quiet places for reflection.”

At Norris Hall, where Cho also killed himself, an open house was scheduled. The former classroom building is now home to the Center for Peace Studies and Violence Prevention.

The center was established after the killings at Norris Hall in 2009 “to transform a place of pain, suffering and violence that can prevent future violence,” director James Hawdon said. The center promotes student volunteerism and “nonviolent compassionate communication” techniques, he said.

We hope we can make a difference.”

McNamee said survivors and parents of students slain five years ago have been part of the planning committee on anniversaries. They were fearful the events of April 16, 2007, would dim with time, so the university has stuck to symbolic remembrances of the day such as the candlelight vigil and a 3.2-mile run over the weekend that attracted 6,800 participants.

While the vast majority of students who were on campus in 2007 are gone, many current faculty members were there. He said he has heard no complaints about the decision to hold classes Monday.

Still, he said, memories of that day “can catch you by surprise.”

“It’s not too deeply buried,” McNamee said. “A faculty member may be teaching and remember that day.”

The employee gave the man the money, and he left. The suspect was seen entering a gold four-door car that was headed westbound on Bloomington Road. No injuries were reported.

The Chabad Center for Jewish Life, in partnership with University Dining, began a pilot program at the Ikenberry Commons dining hall where

they served hot kosher meals.

The meals will be served from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. between Monday and Thursday.

Easter has said that he needs to become educated about the enrollment management plan,” he said. “I am assuming that there will be some continuity in terms of this proposal and trying to move at least some pieces of this proposal forward.”

The key changes from the plan include the establishment of early tuition decisions, the creation of an enrollment management policy council and the appointment of a committee to conduct assessment studies on the feasibility of using the Common Application and on cost-benefits to changing

enrollment information technology. The council would consist of campus provosts and will be led

by Christophe Pierre, vice president for academic affairs.

University spokesman Tom Hardy said the council would suggest improvements on enrollment management plans to the president, vice presidents and chancellors of all three campuses.

“They would examine how the University conducts enrollment management policies and whether it is appropriate to make the recommendation to the president,” he said.

when they reviewed the footage at the police station, it was evident that the individual was not the only aggressor, and if it had not been for the footage, the individual may have gone to jail.

Though he said that the cameras do allow police to look at situations more objectively, they cannot be used in all situations.

“What they’re used for and how they’re used is pretty restricted,” Christensen said. “They are strictly used for investigating criminal incidents, responding to calls, things like that. They cannot be used for human resource investigations.”

Christensen added that the cameras do not infringe on private living areas, such as apartment buildings. He said technology allows the cameras to block out those areas if they are located somewhere near an apartment complex.

“The bottom line is they do have a deterrent effect,” Frost said. “I can tell you that we have seen a substantial slowdown in our criminal activity, especially major incidents, I would say, in the last nine months because people are realizing that when they come on campus, they’re on camera.”

BLACKSBURG, Va. — Students were headed to class Monday at Virginia Tech, the first year the school hasn’t suspended instruction to mark the anniversary of a 2007 rampage that left 32 people and the gunman dead.

The massacre was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Provost Mark McNamee , who chaired a committee that planned memorial events in the years after the shooting, said the return to classes reflects the lives of those slain.

“Their passion for education, their desire to do good in the world, their commitment to their disciplines come through so strongly that we felt being in classes was one special way of remembering them onward,” McNamee said. “This is what they did, this is what we do, and it’s important to us.”

Interim chief of police Jeff Christensen of University Police named one case when the cameras proved to be a beneficial resource. Police responded to a fight at Sixth and Daniel streets, where it was being reported that one person was the sole aggressor of a fight. Christensen said

Champaign scores high in fire defense The Insurance Services Office, a private company that rates community fire protection, has placed the Champaign Fire Department at Class 2, a step below the highest ranking.

Champaign is evaluated

about once a decade on its capabilities to respond to fires on a scale of one to 10.

A Class 2 rating means Champaign is in the top 2 percent of communities in the nation in terms of its fire defense and that the city keeps fire insurance rates low for Champaign properties.

Champaign Fire Chief Douglas Forsman said he was pleased with the rating, especially given that other cities in Illinois have begun to lack in quality.

“We are fortunate to have the kind of support from our

city council, administration, firefighters union and our great employees that allows us to maintain this rating,” Forsman said in a press release. “A number of other cities in the state have slipped back a bit in their classifications.”

The Insurance Services Office evaluates communities by looking at their water supply and their emergency dispatching capabilities.

“They look at all of our records as well as every piece of equipment that we have on every fire truck,” Forsman said in a press release.

Surveillance cameras used by University costly, but beneficial

As shown in previous year’s examples, cameras play big role in preventing crime

T

here are around 700 surveillance cameras in operation on this campus. Police hope for as many as 4,000 cameras running in the next couple of years. But we shouldn’t look at this as a threat to our privacy. In the highly documented world we live in, it would be unwise not to use the tools our society provides to prevent crime.

These cameras proved their usefulness in the fall. In October, a camera caught a robbery which occurred outside the Espresso Royale at 602 E. Daniel St. The victim was sitting at a table outside the coffee shop when another man exited the coffee shop, grabbing and then running away with the victim’s iPad. A second man displayed a handgun to the victim before running west away from the coffee shop.

Without the camera on a building opposite of the coffee shop, police would be lacking the video evidence they’re using in court against the suspect right now.

In that same month, a man entered a women’s restroom in Scott Hall, where a female student was taking a shower.

Police were able to profile the suspect using the video from a security camera installed inside the building.

The cameras are worth both the cost of operation and any so-called cost of privacy.

Although cameras are everywhere, we are not being watched in a “Big Brother” sort of way but rather to ensure our safety. In the case of last semester’s incidents, the advantage of video footage was undeniable, and more cameras installed will only help

more would-be victims of crime on campus.

As the surveillance culture is more publicized — for example, by signs warning potential criminals tha they are being watched — the cameras will further deter crime. Crime will decrease, as we already have seen in the case of trespassing in residence halls.

When University students’ lives and safety are at stake, video surveillance is necessary. Besides the interest of students, billions of dollars in taxpayer money is invested in the University. Doesn’t the University have a responsibility to those taxpayers to keep those investments safe?

Simply put, in the case of safety, the benefits outweigh the cost.

The only precaution would be to protect the identities of those not involved in the crime.

For example, when the video from the Scott Hall incident was first released, the faces of passersby and residents not involved were in plain sight. It is the responsibility of the police department to blur out these faces to protect identities of the innocent, without, of course, profiling any subjects.

LIKE YOU MEAN IT

Prevalent politically apathetic attitudes need to be put to rest Post-modern cynicism may have undue influence on the minds of our generation MICHAEL HOFFMAN Opinions columnist

T

here is no such thing as having too much cynicism in the arena of American politics. If our political world were condensed into a basketball game, it would resemble the Malice at the Palace, the incident in 2004 when player Metta World Peace, then

known as Ron Artest, left the court and ran fi fteen rows into the crowd and assaulted a fan.

Similarly in our politicomediaverse, there seems to be no such thing as “out-ofbounds.” What really happens when Rush Limbaugh’s deplorable ideas and merciless attacks flood the airwaves? He continues to throw the same punches on his show the very next day.

It seems that such rhetorical absurdity is growing more and more accepted, and instead of fighting to make our national conversation more reasonable, the populace reacts just as they are expected to — with apathy.

Not caring about politics is dangerous, for sure, especially in America. We are much less politically informed than the rest of the world and people generally don’t become aware

of the systemic injustices until after it has personally screwed them over.

Reasoning like a true American, there must be someone, or something, to blame for all of this. And the culprit may have something to do with that annoying little cultural fog people call post-modernism.

The term inherently confuses, and the truth is that nobody really knows what it means, but hey, something had to come after modernism. The overall sentiment that I gather is that it’s a more pessimistic form of the HBO series Portlandia, an ironic caricature of Portland, Oregon where the ‘90s counter-culture has become the mainstream. It’s a paradoxical conclusion for a generation that did everything they could to go against the grain.

If post-modernism were a

color, it would certainly be gray. The basic world view it communicates is that the world is more complicated than you realize, and it usually just ends up with the CIA helping to overthrow a government that disagrees with us.

In this cloudy haze of cynicism nothing, no matter how outrageous, is too absurd. For example, Dick Cheney openly admitted on national television to committing war crimes.

The key word here is national, because I suspect if he ever leaves the United States there is a good chance he will be arrested and tried.

So when our generation rolls into town, we won’t be apathetically prepared for the worst like the post-modernists. We must quite literally expect the worst. And the distinction is important because

instead of repeatedly focusing on the problems of our society, we should be re-imagining solutions.

But the post-modernists have one thing right: nothing is impossible. After all, the former bad-boy of the NBA Ron Artest changed his named to Metta World Peace, which is probably the most valuable message one could condense into a name.

The only cultural phenomenon that comes close to rethinking the way to do things is Occupy Wall Street, obviously. In only two months it achieved a majority of Americans’ support, partially based on the fact that it was not the same type of hierarchical, top-down political engine that we are sold to as “change” through the mainstream political outlets.

For the post-modernists, privilege can be so boring, especially when you know about all the atrocities our government commits to ensure we have it. But when those privileges are taken away, packaged as “balancing the budget” and “austerity,” the process starts to come full circle against those who least expected it. At some point, something’s gotta give.

So here we are today on the cusp of something that is extraordinarily original.

If the post-modernists could name this new cultural movement, you know they’d like to just add another “post” to the beginning of the term. But deciding what’s hip isn’t up to the old-timers. Occupiers are more creative than that.

BARBERSHOP FROM PAGE 6A Denzer and Mochel both said that one of their favorite parts of the job is the daily conversations they have with their customers.

“I don’t even know a lot of times what we tell people, because we just talk about stuff that’s going on in our lives,” Mochel said. “Like my daughter got her wisdom teeth out, so there’s probably 20 to 30 customers walking around town that know that my daughter got her wisdom teeth out

yesterday.”

Mochel added that being located on the University campus is another perk of his job.

“We like it here,” Mochel said.

“Students are interesting, (and) you’re always getting different people.”

Denzer said that although they love their location, “once you get established you don’t want to move, unless you have to.”

As for how they have survived their 20-plus years together, Mochel said although him and Denzer are very different, their relationship is about giving and taking.

“We’re completely different, but we are both the same in certain ways,” Mochel said. “We sort of both go a little bit out of the way not to stomp on the other guy’s feet, which I think when you’re a business partner, that’s pretty important.”

Denzer and Mochel hope one day that they can own their own building for their barber shop.

“I think both me and Dave would love to stay in this business, even down here if we could, until we go to retire,” Mochel said.

However, as for now, they are content with their business as it is.

Warm weather, improving job market spur increase in March consumer spending

BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans bought more electronics, started home improvement projects and updated their wardrobes last month, inspired by warmer weather and a healthier job market.

Retail sales rose 0.8 percent in March, the Commerce Department said Monday. The gain capped a strong quarter for retail spending, which is contributing to a brighter outlook among economists for growth in the JanuaryMarch quarter.

Businesses are responding to the higher sales by restocking their shelves at a steady pace, a sign that they expect the trend to carry over into the spring.

More retail spending also helped offset a decline in confidence among homebuilders.

And it could ease concerns about March hiring, which slowed to half the pace of the previous three months.

“Retail sales soared in March with stores in just about every category recording sharp increases over February levels,” said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors.

“And let’s not forget, the February spending was strong.”

The retail sales report is the government’s fi rst look at consumer spending each month. The gain contributed to a mixed day of trading on Wall Street.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed up roughly 72 points to end the day at 12,921. But the Standard & Poor’s 500 index ended the day essentially flat, while the Nasdaq composite fell 23 points.

Americans are spending more despite paying higher gas prices and seeing little growth in their wages.

Shoppers bought more furniture, groceries, clothes and sporting goods last month. They also paid more for gas.

Still, excluding cars, gas and food, sales rose 8.2 percent in the first quarter, the most in two years.

The gain pushed total retail sales to a record high of $411.1 billion, 24 percent higher than the recession low hit in March 2009.

“This is a good report,” said Chris Christopher, an economist at IHS Global Insight. “Consumers are spending despite feeling the pump price pinch.”

Other recent data suggest stronger growth in the January-

Tweeting puts right to fair trial in jeopardy

BY MICHAEL TARM ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Getting news from a big trial once took days, moving at the speed of a carrier pigeon or an express pony. The telegraph and telephone cut that time dramatically. And in some states, television delivers it live.

In the Twitter age, courtroom journalism is broken up into bite-size reports that take shape in seconds — as fast as a reporter can tap 140 characters into a smartphone. And that’s increasingly putting reporters on a collision course with judges who fear that micro-blogging could threaten a defendant’s right to a fair trial.

The tension was highlighted recently by a Chicago court’s decision to ban anyone from tweeting or using other social media at the upcoming trial of a man accused of killing Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson’s family. Reporters and their advocates insist the practice is essential to providing a play-by-play for the public as justice unfolds.

A shopper carries bags of merchandise in Freeport, Maine. U.S. retail sales rose at a solid pace in March. On Monday, the Department of Commerce attributed the rise to the healthier job market and warm weather, which encouraged more consumers to shop.

March quarter.

Business stockpiles rose a seasonally adjusted 0.6 percent in February, the Commerce Department said in a separate report Monday.

Larger stockpiles require businesses to order more goods. That leads to more factory production, which boosts growth.

And overall sales — which includes wholesalers and manufacturers as well as retailers — grew 0.7 percent, more than inventories. That’s a good sign because it is evidence that companies aren’t building too much inventory, which can lead to production cutbacks.

James Marple, an economist at TD Bank, forecasts the economy expanded at an annual pace of 2.7 percent in the January-March quarter. That’s a full point higher than his estimate a month ago.

Still, the housing market has struggled to gain momentum.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo said in a third report Monday that its builder sentiment index fell for the first time in seven months.

Builders also expressed weaker confidence in sales over the next six months.

“What we’re seeing is essentially a pause in what had been a fairly rapid buildup in builder confidence that started last September,” said David Crowe, chief economist with the homebuilders’ group. “This is partly because interest expressed by buyers in the past few months has yet to translate into expected

IPEF FROM PAGE 6A from IPEF that matched his scholarship from the Pat Tillman Foundation, a national partnership program. Glass has served 10 years active duty in the U.S. Air Force, and said that receiving these scholarships played a role in his decision to pursue a medical degree.

Glass said the extra scholarship money is especially helpful since his expenses are different from the average college-aged student. “(Without the scholarship) it would have made things a lot more difficult for me and my wife,” Glass said. “Right now she’s pregnant, and our fi rst child is due next month ...

These scholarships are helping us live a comfortable lifestyle and move along with our plans to be a family.”

Glass’s ultimate goal is to run his own business emphasizing preventative health care. He is an Air Force pararescueman and said he decided to pursue medicine because of his experiences in Afghanistan.

“When you donate to a veteran who’s going to school, they’re going to school because they had a life experience and they know that’s what they want to do,” Glass said. “So you’re paying it forward to them to reach their goals.”

Students and Illinois residents can pay it forward for a small price.

“You might skip Jimmy

sales activity.”

Also, an index measuring manufacturing activity in New York fell to its lowest level in five months. The New York Federal Reserve Bank’s Empire State survey fell to 6.6 in April from 20.2 in the previous month.

Many economists cautioned that warm weather likely contributed to the rise in retail sales. More job gains and greater income growth is needed to sustain spending.

“There’s a limit to how much people can dip into savings to fi nance consumption,” said Neil Dutta, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Americans are more confi dent in the economy after seeing hiring strengthen this winter.

Job gains averaged 246,000 per month from December through February. Hiring slowed to half that pace in March, although economists have suggested the lull may be temporary.

More hiring has helped lower the unemployment rate from 9.1 percent in August to 8.2 percent in March. Still, the stronger hiring hasn’t translated into higher salaries. Americans’ pay isn’t keeping pace with inflation. That, along with higher gas prices, could restrain consumer spending later this year.

Gas prices rose more slowly last month, according to a separate report released last week.

And in the last two weeks, they are showing signs of leveling off.

That may also be giving consumers more incentive to spend.

John’s one day a week in order to give $8 to a veteran,” Garland said. “It’s a way of getting everyone involved.

Even people who can’t make $100 donations can still contribute and show their appreciation of veterans for the cost of a Starbucks cup of coffee.”

The class’ group of four students, led by Brooks Golden, junior in ACES, is currently focusing on raising money and awareness for Bucks for the Brave.

They started off by trying to contact potential donors all over the state of Illinois, but had trouble receiving responses, so narrowed their focus to campus. Their next effort will be a Bucks for the Brave barcrawl on April 27.

“We decided it would be most effective for a college campus,” Golden said.

The group will be selling T-shirts for the barcrawl, and any profit from the sales will go directly to Bucks for the Brave.

They have also been trying to gain “likes” on their Facebook page, make a number of changes to the website and suggest ways to integrate the organization with social media, Golden said. “(The class) is a bridge between students’ academic life and professional life,” Kurtz said. “It helps them learn how to interact with peers and what expectations will be when they leave (the University).”

Dave Denzer, left, and Gene Mochel cut hair together in their shop on Green Street called Dave and Gene’s Barber Shop. Their shop is located at 509 E. Green St. and has been open since 2000.

Local barbershop brings character, cuts to campus

BY MORGAN QUILICI STAFF WRITER

It’s

not common nowadays for one to encounter an old-fashioned barbershop that is equipped with a red-and-white spinning barber pole, classic leather black chairs and even a pool table. However, many University students have probably passed such a place on their daily walks down Green Street, yet have never known it.

“There aren’t a lot of ‘barbershop’ barbershops (anymore),” said Gene Mochel, co-owner of Dave and Gene’s Barber Shop located at 509 E. Green St. “We do some things that a lot of other shops in town wouldn’t touch.”

Dave Denzer and Mochel opened up their shop in 2000, after the closing of Terry’s Barber Shop, where they both worked.

The story of how the two met is almost as unique as their barbershop. Both natives of Champaign and students at Centennial High School, Denzer and Mochel met each other while dating a pair of sisters.

“I was always Gene, and Dave was always that other guy that was around the house,” Mochel said, in regards to how the two fi rst encountered each other and eventually became friends.

After high school, Denzer went off to barber school and Mochel went on to attend school at the University.

But when Mochel flunked out, Denzer talked him into going to barber school.

“I went to barber school fi rst and I needed someone to work with,” Denzer said.

Denzer said that his father, who is also a barber and still works at a shop in downtown Champaign, inspired him to pursue a career in cutting hair.

“I didn’t want to be on the road, sleeping in some hotel,” Denzer said. “It’s eight to five everyday, and you’re home every night.”

Unlike Denzer’s father, Mochel, a father of two, jokes that he would never let his children cut hair.

“My daughter went off to tech school this year and I told her anything but cutting hair,” Mochel said. “In the course catalog from the tech school, the worst paying job coming out of school was cutting hair, so I’m not going to encourage my kid to do that.”

He added, though, that the male customers contribute to his decision as well.

“Some guy customer would be hitting on her and the next thing you know, I shave his head,” Mochel said.

While Denzer and Mochel said they really enjoy doing what they do, the downside of running a barbershop is that neither of them have had the chance to put away as

much retirement money as they’d like.

“We like what we have, so we’ll keep it this way until we can’t make money, and then we’ll do something else (to the shop),” Mochel said. Some changes to the shop include adding another chair or improving the aesthetics of the shop.

Dave and Gene’s Barber Shop already has plenty of character, shown through their decorations of Illini paraphernalia. The walls are covered with posters as well as baseball cards collected by Denzer, who personally owns 10,000 baseball cards. Mochel’s hobby of working at Boy Scout camps is also displayed in the shop through pictures of his camping adventures.

Over the years, Denzer and Mochel have acquired quite a loyal customer base, and they even cut hair for a family of three generations. “(They’re) nice guys and Dave always has good stories to tell,” said Yousif Al Rawi , a graduate student in employment relations and a customer of about a year.

Al Rawi described the two barbershop owners as “personable,” as proved by Mochel’s friendly wave to a customer as he passed the shop.

Students support veterans with Bucks for the Brave

BY JORDAN SWARD FEATURES EDITOR

A new micro-donation campaign is asking Illinois residents to honor our military families’ service by “sacrificing everyday items that normally cost you a few bucks.”

Bucksforthebrave.com is a website directly supporting the Illinois Patriot Education Fund, or IPEF. A group of University students in a small business consulting course (BADM 445) have made it their semester-long project to spread awareness for the organization.

According to the Bucks for the Brave website, by sacrificing

your daily $2 coffee or just one $4 gallon of gas, you can instead donate that money to honor Illinois active duty military members and their families.

In April 2011, Mark Slaby created IPEF to raise scholarship funds for active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces beyond the fi nancial assistance offered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill. IPEF also provides financial assistance to family members of the men and women who have given their lives or have become disabled while serving in the military.

IPEF helps support elementary through graduate education,

but also expands its reach to school supplies, programs and professional tutors, according to its website.

Bucks for the Brave enables people to donate $1 to $10 each day, week or month. The website also includes a video component, where donors can post a YouTube video to show how they are sacrificing everyday items for money to donate.

The small business consulting class, taught by adjunct lecturer Jeffrey Kurtz , pairs student groups with small businesses, nonprofit orga n i z at ions , governmental units or the

University to solve problems these organizations have. The purpose of the class is to give students an opportunity for real world experimental learning, Kurtz said.

He said he chose to work with IPEF when his class was short a few clients.

“Mark (Slaby) told me about his organization, and I am very supportive of our veterans and people that are in the Armed Forces,” Kurtz said.

By spreading the word about IPEF and Bucks for the Brave, the class hopes to garner donations from Illinois

residents, even if they donate just a few “bucks.”

“The state of Illinois is very generous in that it offers a tuition waiver for veterans who attend a public school in the state of Illinois. Veterans also have federal benefits they can use,” said Chad Garland , graduate student and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.

Although these state and federal benefits make education more attainable, there are still gaps in them, said Garland, who is a former Daily Illini employee.

There are instances when benefits get cut off at the end

of a semester, when rent is still due. Benefits also don’t always cover the entire cost of books, or are exhausted during an undergraduate education. IPEF helps veterans in these times of struggle.

Garland volunteers as an intern for IPEF in handling its social media sites. He said that although a $1,000 scholarship might not pay for a semester of tuition, it could still make a difference in a person’s life.

RAISING THE BARS

WEINSTEIN’S WAY: UNEVEN BARS

Illini gymnast hopes to leave no ‘room for error,’ focuses on correcting flaws

Editor’s note: This is the second of a four-part series previewing women’s gymnastics all-around competitor Alina Weinstein’s preparation for the NCAA Championships in Duluth, Ga., on April 20 to 22.

DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Editor’s note: The following is a partial transcript from an Illini Drive @ 5 interview with Illinois head football coach Tim Beckman, who recapped Saturday’s Orange and Blue Spring Game.

Though Alina Weinstein suffered from a concussion during this event midseason, it hasn’t affected her memory of how to perfect an uneven bar routine.

Beginning her second appearance at nationals on the uneven bars will not be unfamiliar territory. The Illini began their first rotation at the NCAA Championships on the bars last season, where Weinstein scored a 9.725.

Already having national competition experience, Weinstein is aware of the pressures she will face and is focusing on controlling them.

“Bars is an event for me that I get a little bit more nervous about because there is a lot of room for error,” Weinstein said. “It’s kind of like beam. It’s not a power event, it’s more of a precision event. I want to be more confident on national stage. I am really going to try and play with my emotions and play with my adrenaline in the gym and see how I can control my routines and my body while I’m getting emotional.”

The Orange and Blue started off this season struggling on the uneven bars, but climbed steadily to consistency, scoring above a 49 at the State of Illinois Classic meet (49.025) and setting their seasonhigh score at Big Ten Championships with a 49.100. Weinstein said that with the addition of a new dismount to her routine, she was contributing to the struggle.

“I think I might have been part of the problem this year,” Weinstein said. “Adding that new dismount in, it was a little tricky for me to figure out my endurance

Illini Drive @ 5 — What did you take away from the game on Saturday?

Tim Beckman — It was good.

We went 15 days of practices. We worked on our fundamentals so that we’re better tacklers, we’re better blockers, we throw the ball better, catch the ball better, do the things I think sometimes we are lacking. And I think our players got better on that.

ID @ 5 — Can you assess for us the play of your quarterbacks?

Beckman — I thought that

Reilly (O’Toole) did some good things and I thought Nate (Scheelhaase) did.

And when Miles (Osei) came in, he ended up playing some good snaps at quarterback, also. So that’s what the greatest you got about the game of football is, we got so much time to practice and prepare that there will be some great competitions at that quarterback position.

ID @ 5 — What do you foresee as the backfield? Do you see a running back by committee?

Beckman — I see both

(Donovonn Young and Josh Ferguson having) a good opportunity to be on the field at the same time.

They’re both very talented.

Josh being in his fi rst year, really Donovonn being involved in his fi rst year of college football. They’re young. Both are very ath-

Rid of injury, Ferguson finds stride in Orange and Blue game

Illini hope to break 4-game losing streak with Redbirds rematch

After missing most of last season with a hamstring injury, running back Josh Ferguson showed few lingering effects in Saturday’s spring football game, rushing for 130 yards on 20 carries as the featured back for the winning Blue team.

“He really stepped up, didn’t he?” head coach Tim Beckman said after Saturday’s game. “We saw the same thing that we saw early in camp. He’s got great speed, great burst and defi nitely a guy that’s learning as it goes on because he’s still just a freshman.”

The only time his injury may have been a factor was on a 68-yard run when Ferguson was caught from behind by defensive back Justin Green.

“I wish I would have scored, trying to get my stride back on that last run,” Ferguson said. “I’ve got the burst and everything back, just looking for the fi nish.”

When Ferguson does find his stride, he looks to be a significant factor for Illinois’ offense. Ferguson redshirted his freshman year after tearing two hamstrings in his left leg while returning a kick in a Week Four practice.

“It was a pretty wet surface,” he said.

“I slipped and it just popped. Prior to that, I had some tightness that I should have taken care of .... It was worse than expected to say the least.”

Ferguson said coming off the injury has made him hesitant at times during the spring.

“It was the first time sprinting like this and playing football in a long time,” he said. “It’s really relieving to just play football again. Not being in rehab all day, every day. It’s been a long offseason; happy to be back.”

Now that he’s healthy, Ferguson’s focus shifts to building on his 185-pound

“With our workout plan, I’ll definitely get even faster,” he said.

Even with the added weight, Ferguson will be small compared to other backs in the Big Ten. He said he uses criticism of his size as motivation.

“It’s definitely a chip on the shoulder,” he said. “I’ve been hearing that since I’ve been playing football at 8 years old.

Not a lot of backs like this in the Big Ten, but there’s been plenty around the country.”

No. 1 recruits When Beckman was hired at Illinois, he had to immediately jump into the recruiting process as he was already late to the game. Lucky for him, his top recruits were nearby.

Before the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in early January, Beckman met with center Graham Pocic, defensive tackle Akeem Spence, defensive end/outside linebacker Michael Buchanan and cornerback Ter-

ry Hawthorne, all Illinois players who were considering the jump to the NFL. “They were our No. 1 recruits,” Beckman said after the spring game. “It’s a culture change because there’s been a lot of players that have decided to come out early in this program, and I hope these four gentlemen set a precedent for what can happen here in the future. It’s an opportunity for the senior class to be known for something special.”

Buchanan said he was impressed

by Beckman’s honesty about his draft prospects, adding that he thought a new coach would try to skew the numbers in an effort to get him back for another season.

“He got us our grades early,” Buchanan said. “He told us, ‘You might be projected to go this round and everything.’ He was just very honest. I was surprised.”

Hawthorne said he considered declaring for the draft, but the meeting with Beckman, combined with advice from

Spring notices similarities in 2006, 2012 championships

BY EMILY BAYCI SENIOR WRITER

Editor’s note: This is the second of a four-part series previewing the men’s gymnastics NCAA Championships in Norman, Okla., on April 19 to 21.

Justin Spring isn’t sure when he realized the parallels. It could have been during summer, before the school year began, or when the championship site was announced or just a day sitting in his office.

What the Illinois men’s gymnastics coach remembers is the feeling that swept over him when the realization clicked about the location of the 2012 NCAA Championships and the team he was bringing there.

“It hit me a little bit and then I just laughed and was like, ‘Oh wow, wow, this is really happening,’” Spring said in January.

The Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Okla., will be the site of the championships for the first time since 2006 - Spring’s senior year at Illinois, when his team was slated to win the NCAA title but walked away with the runner-up crown. Illinois was .425 points behind Oklahoma, narrowly missing what would have been the pro-

gram’s first NCAA Championship in 17 years.

“It was gut wrenching losing by such a small amount,” said Adam Pummer, co-captain with Spring on the 2006 team. “It’s still tough to think about not coming away with the trophy.”

It’s now been 23 years since Illinois last won a men’s gymnastics championship. The Sooners are now ranked No. 1, though the No. 4 Illini boast the highest start values in the nation.

“It’s no surprise, really, that it happened like this,” former Illinois head coach Yoshi Hayasaki said. “I believe it’s going to come down to Illinois and Oklahoma once again.”

There are several theories behind why the Illini lost in 2006: they were just outperformed, it was the influence of the Sooners crowd or it was the judging system at the time.

“Everything went the Oklahoma way,” Hayasaki said. “I think the fans knew who had really won, and I know we performed better.”

Pummer said that whenever the 2006 teammates get together they reminisce about that meet.

He said the mentality back then was to focus on the routines, and

Illini softball falls twice to Badgers, Leathernecks next

BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER

After two more losses over the weekend, the Illinois softball team has dropped to 3-9 in Big Ten play. The team sits ahead of only 0-12 Michigan State, which it does not face this season.

The Illini (18-20, 3-9 Big Ten) have struggled offensively for much of the season, but the lineup was not the problem in the three-game series with Wisconsin this weekend. The Badgers (24-13, 8-4) scored a total of 25 runs in the series, by far the most that Illinois has surrendered in any three-game stretch this season.

Justin Spring, men’s gymnastics head coach, watches during a men’s gymnastics meet at Huff Hall on Feb. 14, 2009. Spring‘s gymnastics squad is slated to compete at the NCAA Championships starting Thursday. as long as the team did just that and left everything on the floor, nobody could beat it.

“As long as they do that now, they can easily win,” Pummer said.

The runner-up finish is one of Spring’s only missed accomplishments as he conquered practically every feat during his athletic career: Individual national championships and Big Ten championships, the Nissen Emery Award, a team Big Ten Championship and an Olympic

bronze medal.

Spring wishes he knew back then what he knows now, about the leadership and responsibility needed to push a successful team. He hopes his newfound knowledge can lead the Illini to a first-place finish, in what is almost a second chance for him.

“I think I would be just as excited if they won now,” Spring said. “I never realized how much I would enjoy living through this all over again with them.”

Frustrated Cubs fans need to hold out a little longer for team to bounce back

Illinois, a team averaging 2.89 runs per game this season, scored 15 runs in Sunday’s doubleheader after being shut out in the opener Saturday. The Illini, who were without senior slugger Meredith Hackett this weekend, had hits from every spot in the lineup except the leadoff spot.

“It was good to see everyone contributing,” right fielder Nikki Simpson said. “I think it’s a big spark.”

Simpson, hitting from the eight hole in the lineup, had five hits on the weekend and also reached on a walk. She and ninth-place hitter Alex Booker combined for nine hits and five RBIs on the weekend.

“I love when me and Alex bat next to each other,” Simpson said. “I think we work well together. We always say, ‘If I get on (base), you’re getting on’ or, ‘If you get on, I’m getting on.’”

The absence of Hackett, who is not with the team because of personal reasons, leaves a substantial hole to fill in the lineup, as well as at first base. Fellow senior Danielle Vaji filled in at first this weekend.

“I’m feeling more and more comfortable every time I’m (at first),” Vaji said. “I know coach has my back. As long as (head coach Terri Sullivan) has confi-

dence in me and I’ve got confidence in myself, then my team’s got my back.”

“Danielle steps up anytime we ask her to play somewhere defensively,” Sullivan said.

“She’s a very unselfish player and we know she can hit the long ball, sometimes she just has to commit to that swing instead of slapping.”

Juniors Pepper Gay and Jackie Guy threw all of the innings for Illinois this weekend. Gay surrendered 16 runs, only eight earned, while Guy surrendered nine, seven of those earned. In Sunday’s finale, they gave up a combined six home runs to the Badgers.

“We ended up outhitting Wisconsin, but six of their seven went out of the park and that was really the difference of the game,” Sullivan said. “I like that our offense was there, but now we need to get the defense, pitching and offense all there at the same time.”

Nonconference battle awaits the Illini on Tuesday Western Illinois is next on the schedule for the Illini. The Fighting Leathernecks (22-18, 12-3 Summit League) come to Eichelberger Field on Tuesday looking to avenge a doubleheader sweep from last May. Western is led by freshman Sammy Marshall, who is hitting .420, and senior Jamie Gross, who has hit five home runs on the year. The Leathernecks feature two pitchers, Hailey Bickford and Kelsey Michelini, who have both thrown over 100 innings this season. At 2.62, Bickford boasts the better ERA, but Michelini has 12 wins compared to Bickford’s eight.

Illinois won two tight games at Eichelberger last year, 3-2 and 2-0. Western won the Summit League in 2009 and 2010 before finishing fifth last season.

“One of our rules that we live by is to win the state,” Booker said. “We want to win every game we play in our state or against someone in our state.”

at the end of a routine. A couple of routines I messed up my dismount. When you have somebody at the end of the lineup messing up a bar routine, it doesn’t really add to the confidence of the bar lineup.”

Weinstein posted a score of 9.675 in the first meet this season and then earned her lowest score of the season against Ohio State after falling in the event with an 8.650. The mistakes that Weinstein made at the start of the season have encouraged her to heighten her performance on the uneven bars.

“I’ve had a couple of mishaps, but I have literally had every kind of mishap that could have happened,” Weinstein said. “I gave myself a random concussion on missing a skill on bars, I’ve missed a couple of dismounts, I’ve done alternate dismounts to make up for the fact that I didn’t want to fall, I changed my dismount at the beginning of the year last minute.

I’ve literally made every mistake possible. After those mistakes I just got into the mindset that I just need to hit routines.”

Though the addition of a new dismount proved to be a problem for Weinstein in the beginning, she never faltered when it came to her strengths on the event.

“In college gymnastics you have to almost be perfect,” Weinstein said. “If you hit all of your handstands then you have a cleaner look to you, you don’t have as much of a deduction in that area.

College gymnastics really emphasizes the form. I’m generally really good about hitting my handstands and my form on the bars.”

As Illinois began the season adjusting to new members in the bar lineup, Weinstein also spent time adjusting to her new higher skill level dismount. Once adjusted, she earned an uneven bar crown against Michigan, setting her season-high score of 9.875. Weinstein earned another uneven bar title at the State of Illinois Classic, matching her seasonhigh score and tying with teammate junior Jaclyn Kantecki.

“Alina has gotten a lot more confident in her bar routine this year,” Illinois head coach Kim Landrus said. “She added a new dismount that had a higher level of difficulty. At the beginning of the year she was just adjusting to the change, but she’s really got into her comfort zone with that and is confident. She has really come on strong the last half of the season.”

The preparation for the national uneven bar competition this week has not differed much from the beginning of the season. No drastic changes have been made to Weinstein’s routine, it is more about adding on the final touches.

“It’s just fine-tuning everything,” Landrus said. “It’s the same thing that we have worked on with the team all season. It’s the hitting the handstands, the getting the landings, making sure that you swing bars and you don’t muscle bars.”

letic. They’re two different types of running backs.

F

or most Cubs fans, including myself, it seemed like the 2012 season was over long before it even began. Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Pena departed for greener pastures, and three (yes, three!) years were still left on Alfonso Soriano’s embarrassment of a contract.

It only got worse. The farm system was almost completely barren of promising young talent, and pitching appeared to be nonexistent beyond Ryan Dempster and Matt Garza. The Reds, Brewers and Cardinals were brimming with young talent. Yep, we should just pencil in a last-place finish in the NL Central over the next decade or so.

Wait just a minute, Northsiders. While these times are dark indeed, our time is coming. In the past few months, the mentally unstable Carlos Zambrano was shipped to Miami, and the Cubs received Chris Volstad, a former first-round pick, in return. Sean Marshall, who was approaching a rich payday, was sent to Cincinnati for pitcher Travis Wood, who is still under club control and will be a much cheaper option. Promising pitcher Andrew Cashner was used to attain highly touted prospect Anthony Rizzo, who appears ready to anchor first base at Wrigley for years to come.

Front office management has already started to make an impact, and if it holds true to the rebuilding path, the Cubs will be contending sooner than we think. I hope Theo is reading because I’ve got four more steps for him to lead the Cubs back to relevance.

1) Trade the corpse of Soriano Of course, he is not actually dead, but the way he plays left field sometimes makes it hard to believe he has a pulse. I’ll be the first to admit my excitement when the Cubs signed him after the 2006 season; after all, he had just hit 46 homers and stole 41 bases for the Nationals. Sure, give him $136 million.

He was worth the $9 million he made in 2007, when he hit .299 while going deep 33 times, but his current $18 million per year salary is staggeringly awful. Over the last four years, he has only averaged 128 games and strikes out nearly three times as often as he draws walks.

He is a defensive liability and seems to make no effort to adjust to pitchers throwing him sliders low and away.

It might seem impossible to dump him on another team, but similar trades have been made before, like

MARCIO JOSE SANCHEZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chicago Cubs’ Starlin Castro celebrates in the dugout during a spring training game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 2. In order for the Cubs to compete, they should sign Castro to a multiyear deal. when Milton Bradley was traded for Carlos Silva in a swap of a bad contract for a clubhouse cancer. Zambrano also appeared untradeable at times, but the Cubs ate some salary and sent him packing.

If a trading partner in the American League is found, Soriano could be a valuable option as a designated hitter.

The Orioles are an intriguing option, as they currently have journeyman Wilson Betemit hitting .214 in that role. After Soriano leaves, Brett Jackson, one of the Cubs’ top prospects, could step right in and fill the void. The Cubs would probably look for little in return; the deal would just create more financial flexibility for Chicago.

2) Trade Marlon Byrd Entering the final year of his contract, Byrd is both a reliable everyday outfielder and a relatively cheap trading piece. The 34-year-old veteran won’t be around when the Cubs are competitive again, and he provides the opportunity for the team to gain from his departure in the form of promising young talent from another organization.

Whereas Soriano and his contract would be a challenge to trade, Byrd could be a sought-after commodity around the deadline when teams in the playoff race need another bat.

If the Cubs could strike a deal similar to the Mets sending Carlos Beltran to the Giants for Zack Wheeler last year, they would come away with fantastic value.

It is difficult to predict injuries, but teams like the Giants, Brewers, Braves or Marlins could be in the market

for more offense at some point.

The Braves have an embarrassment of riches in the minor-league pitching department, and the Cubs could definitely use another young arm.

3) Sign Starlin Castro to a multiyear deal I wrote last week about the ingenuity of the Rays signing players like Evan Longoria and Matt Moore to relatively cheap, long-term contracts.

The Cubs have the chance to make a similar deal with Castro, who had 207 hits last year at age 21.

He won’t be arbitration eligible until next season, but another campaign like last year’s could make those negotiations very expensive for the Cubs. Longoria was given a six-year, $17.5 million deal early in his career, and giving Castro a similar deal could lock up the Cubs best player at a discount.

Players like Castro don’t come around very often, and the Cubs need to make sure he remains on the north side of Chicago for the foreseeable future.

4) Decide on the futures of Geovany Soto and Matt Garza

Both players have been solid contributors for the Cubs and are entering their final arbitration years, both without a long-term deal. The Cubs could either choose to sign them, trade them or allow them to test the free-agency waters.

Garza was the subject of trade rumors for most of the winter but ultimately stayed with the Cubs. Witsolid

starting pitching at a premium these days, Garza could demand a nice package of top prospects in any trade. If the right situation of a desperate team with talented young players presents itself, the trigger needs to be pulled. On the other hand, a long-term deal could ensure that Garza is still around when the Cubs are competitive. If the Tigers have an injured pitcher around June, they could fear their own inability to compete with the likes of Texas and Tampa Bay enough to overpay for Garza.

The same principles apply to Soto. Catchers with power are rare, and teams with a need in that area could overpay for the chance to sign the former Rookie of the Year.

If no market develops, the Cubs don’t need to push the envelope either. Whatever the organization decides, Garza and Soto cannot get to free agency without a resolution, or the Cubs could potentially lose them without getting a single thing in return.

After a less-than-promising 3-7 start to the season, 2012 looks like it could be even longer of a season than Cubs fans initially anticipated. Even if it is a lost cause, there is plenty to root for. Tracking trade rumors and realizing the potential for the pieces to come together a few years down the road is not just a way to pass the time; it is a baseball fanatic’s version of beautiful piece of artwork slowly coming together. I for one can’t wait to see Theo’s masterpiece.

Beckman — This is what the program is about. It’s not about the guys that are playing now. It’s about the guys that have built this program.

Traditionally wise, this is one of the top programs in the Big Ten. We’re going to teach these young men about the traditions of this program and it’s proud to be an Illini.

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1B his family, has him back preparing for his senior campaign.

“I was thinking about it, but of course you got to sit there and talk with the fam (and) parents about it and just see what they think,” Hawthorne said. “Once I sat down with my mom (and thought), ‘I’m done in December, why not just come back and graduate?’ And then just be done. And that way I have a backup plan if that doesn’t work out for me.”

Competition at kicker While special teams were not live during Saturday’s scrimmage, it offered a glimpse at the competition for place kicker that will likely continue throughout the summer.

“It’s a wide-open race,” Beckman said. “It’s not even close to where it needs to be.”

Three players attempted field goals in the game: freshman Taylor Zalewski, sophomore Nick Immekus and sophomore Patrick Dunn. Zalewski was perfect on both of his attempts of 48 and 31 yards for the Orange team.

Immekus and Dunn both kicked for the Blue squad, with Dunn missing a 43-yard attempt and Immekus going 2-for-4. He sent kicks of 26 and 47 yards through the uprights, while missing two at 45 and 53 yards.

New tradition Beckman dusted off old hardware for the annual Orange and Blue Spring Game.

In addition to a steak dinner, the Blue team, which won 13-12, was presented with a trophy at the end of the controlled scrimmage. Beckman said he found it in a trophy case in Memorial Stadium.

“I guess the last time it was given was 2002 because that’s the last number that’s down there,” Beckman said. “I don’t know where it came from. So we decided to clean her up and give it to the team that won today. They’ll get to put that 2012 up there, and then they’ll get to eat their steaks while the other ones eat the beans and weenies.”
