Daniels talks unions to local Republicans as thousands protest outside

STAFF WRITER

In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness month, University students and Champaign-Urbana community members rallied together Thursday night to protest against sexual violence in the 33rd annual Take Back the Night. The event was organized by the Women’s Resource Center and Rape Advocacy Counseling Educational Services, or RACES, based in Urbana.

About 60 participants gathered at Lincoln Square in Urbana before marching west down Green St. chanting and carrying signs protesting rape and violence.

The march ended in a rally on the Quad.

Stephanie Ames, outreach associate for RACES, said that holding the event at night highlighted the cause.

“The nighttime is often associated with violence, so we’re taking back the night, making it our own and making it safe again,” she said.

At the rally, participants were given the chance to listen to Shirley Paceley, founder and director of End Violence Against Women International, as she talked about the significance of raising awareness to the issue of rape and violence. Although she thanked friends and families of victims for participating in the rally, she dedicated her speech and the night to survivors of sexual assault.

“Tonight, we honor victims,” Paceley said. “We see your goodness, and we honor you.”

WILLIAM SHI THE DAILY ILLINI

As a show of support for the Indiana governor, Habeeb Habeeb, newly elected chairman of the Champaign County Republicans, invited Daniels to give remarks at his party’s Lincoln Day Dinner in front of about 800 guests. Prior to the dinner, an estimated 5,000 Illinois laborers and students gathered at the southwest parking lot of Assembly Hall in a protest organized by the College Democrats.

“Right to work laws do not help the economy, they do not grow jobs, (and) they don’t draw business to states,” said Dan Montgomery, president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers. “What they do is lower the average wage and hurt working families like yours and mine.”

To prevent those laws from coming to Illinois, the protesters hoped to send a clear message.

“The message from the 1 million working men and women of organized labor in Illinois to Mitch Daniels is we don’t want, and we don’t need, your extreme anti-middle class agenda here in Illinois,” said Michael Carrigan , president of the Illinois AFL-CIO.

Students ‘Cover the Night’ to raise awareness of Kony After the Invisible Children video went viral this February, people across the nation have decided to take action against Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army, which, the video alleges, abducts children in Uganda for use as soldiers and sex slaves.

Filmmakers Jason Russell , Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole, creators of the nonprofit organization, created the video to bring awareness about Kony. Their mission is to end the violence, improve education establishments in Africa and build an alert system for counter-resistance.

Inspired by the video, students at the University, along with other groups across the country, are planning to “Cover the Night,” as the event is called, and put up 1 million posters, signs and stickers to raise awareness. University students can expect to see the results of this movement at the Undergraduate Library, Illini Union, Allen Hall, Ikenberry Commons, Illinois Street Residence Hall and the Alma Mater on Sat-

Budget request focuses on faculty’s salaries, academic performances

BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER

As the school year comes to a close, University administrators look to hear from the state of Illinois in regards to its operating budget request for fiscal year 2013. The request, which was submitted in September, addressed an increase in faculty salaries in the hopes of improving academic performance on all three campuses.

“Loss of state support for salary increases since FY2002 (fi scal year 2002) poses perhaps the greatest challenge to the University’s overall quality since the late 1980s,” stated the fiscal year 2013 budgetbook.

It went on to say that the University is now fully funding its own salary program because the state provided little or no salary increase funding between 2003 and 2012.

Randy Kangas , associate vice president for planning and budgeting, said the issue had been discussed on multiple occasions by many people, including members of the Board of Trustees and the Office of the President.

In this March 8 file photo, a box full to the brim with KONY posters is seen at the Invisible Children Movement offices in San Diego.

“I think the Kony 2012 campaign is very important ... although it took some time, I am proud to see the Invisible Children group stands up for what they believe in and gather strong support quickly,” he said.

Bolos said she’s been working with the international Invisible Children’s group for three years. After attending the Fourth Estate Conference, a leadership conference, in August 2011, she was inspired to begin a chapter for campus.

Bolos said its main goals are to spread awareness of the war in central Africa and to fundraise for Invisible Children.

She said she has no doubt that Kony will be arrested by the end of the year, but until then the international community needs to contribute to the movement.

Bolos said she hopes to see more involvement within her organization.

“I want people to show up to the meetings and stay proactive about the campaign, instead of just showing interest without taking action,” she said.

In a speech regarding the movement from his 2008 campaign, President Barack Obama encouraged Americans to get involved.

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time,” Obama said. “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

“I’m hoping that the event will open the campus and have big enough coverage of the campaign where more people will be willing to join the revamping of Kony 2012,” said Katerina Bolos, president and founder of the University’s Invisible Children chapter and sophomore in LAS. “The event is to show that this is something very important and won’t fade away any time soon.”

TemiTayo O Ade-Oshifogun, junior in Engineering, said he also has high hopes about the campaign and believes that this is the right way to go about bringing Kony to justice.

“It starts with a cause and many people to support it, and somebody will notice the effort,” he said. “It will take a mass effort of people to make a difference, and a bigger effort from America and the Invisible Children to target a higher power in the government for signifi cant support.”

O Ade-Oshifogun hopes the University chapter will continue to contribute to the worldwide efforts to arrest Kony by 2013.

Take Back the Night event supports sexual assault victims

Ind. governor visits Champaign

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels was the keynote speaker at the annual Lincoln Day Dinner in Champaign on Thursday.

The Republican governor made Indiana one of the most recent states to adopt “Right to Work”legislation, earning Daniels admiration from the Champaign County Republicans and galvanizing about 5,000 union supporters to protest his arrival in Champaign. Illinois is now sandwiched between two Right to Work states, Indiana and Iowa .

Right to Work laws prohibit union security agreements, which prevent established unions from requiring membership and payment of dues.

“This type of law creates a huge freerider problem because workers can still receive union protection without paying their dues,” said Matthew Finkin , law professor. “A union must represent all workers of a particular bargaining unit, not just those who support the union.”

Finkin said laws like Right to Work are intended to weaken unions. Right to Work legislation is now in place in 23 states, and the protests were intended to show Illinois Republicans that they will face intense resistance should they try to enact similar legislation in Illinois.

“Right to Work is a misleading name for the legislation,” said Shana Harrison, president of the registered student organization College Democrats. “It weakens labor unions in many ways, and we want to send the message that Right to Work won’t work in Illinois.”

Sorry, day-drinkers: ‘Mad Men’ antics don’t hold up in modern-day advertising agencies

Breast-cancer charity faces heavy decline in participation

BY JAMIE STENGLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The creative process:

BY KEVIN FERGUS STAFF WRITER

Fans of AMC’s “Mad Men” cite the smart writing, powerful acting and thought-provoking storylines among the many reasons to watch. But there’s also the fact that the show makes an advertising agency look like a fantastic place to work.

The appeal of spending your life wearing stylish suits and daydrinking in Manhattan (or Chicago, for us Midwesterners) is obvious. The show is often praised for its accurate historical details, but how close is life at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce (or SCDP) to life at an advertising agency in 2012? An assistant advertising professor and three alumni working in advertising agencies discussed the show’s depiction of their industry.

Drinking: Hardly a scene goes by on “Mad Men” without a character imbibing; scenes set at the office aren’t excluded. Brittany Duff, assistant professor in advertising, said this is an exaggerated depiction of drinking in the industry.

“I’d say there’s more drinking than in other industries, but it’s certainly not like anything in the show,” she said.

Lacey Meece, who graduated from the University in 2009, is an assistant media planner at Cramer-Krasselt, an advertising agency in Chicago. Meece said her schedule is too packed to drink like Don Draper.

“We don’t have time to drink like they do. ... We spend our days going in and out of meetings.”

However, networking is still very important in the advertising industry, which leads to a lot of drinking after hours. Duff said it is important to build relationships with clients and people at other agencies. This means that at dinners, parties or happy hours, unsurprisingly, alcohol is present.

Brent Trotter graduated from the University in 2010 and works as an assistant account executive at Ogilvy & Mather in Chicago.

He said “Mad Men” focuses too much on this part of the industry.

“Most agencies live by the work hard, play hard mantra that seems pretty prevalent in ‘Mad Men.’ Maybe in the show, they drop the work hard part, though,” he said.

Many episodes of “Mad Men” present one of Don’s brilliant ideas — he often thinks of it as he’s talking to clients, and it usually saves SCDP from financial catastrophe.

Duff said this would never happen in real life.

“You work and work on an idea, you fine-tune it, and you present it to your clients. ... There’s not these flashes of brilliance that happen halfway through the presentation,” she said.

Don is so assured of his own brilliance that he regularly dismisses clients’ ideas. This is also a fantasy. “(Don) is rude. He doesn’t listen to (the client’s) point of view,” Meece said. “But we’re trying to win them over; they pay us.”

The show is more accurate with its handling of Peggy Olson, a copywriter at SCDP. Peggy spends her days thinking up ideas for ads and presenting them to her boss, Don. If he doesn’t like them, it’s back to the drawing board. Meece said this is still the way a copywriter works.

Social attitudes: The characters on “Mad Men” are a product of their time, and their outlook on race and gender issues can be shocking to modern audiences. Not surprisingly, SCDP is also very white-male dominated.

Besides Peggy and office manager Joan Holloway (and Megan in season five), no women or minorities rank higher than secretary.

“In my department, it’s actually mostly women .... I think it’s the guys that need to watch out,” said Jessica DeFranco, senior media planner at Cramer-Krasselt, who graduated from Illinois in 2009.

DeFranco, Meece and Trotter all agreed that there is a big push for diversity in the industry today, but Duff is skeptical that the problem is completely fixed. She said there are lots of young women in advertising, but men still tend to dominate the higher positions.

Duff said advertising is also still overwhelmingly white.

“I don’t think you need to be black to speak to a black person or a woman to speak to a woman, but when an industry that’s supposed to speak to everybody doesn’t reflect the diversity of the country, I think that’s a problem,” she said.

NATHALIE ROCK THE DAILY ILLINI

Reverend Dr. Mel White speaks about his experience as a gay Christian man in America at the Community United Church of Christ on Thursday. He spoke of his journey in coming to terms with his sexuality, as well as experiences such as traveling the country to bury people whose pastors would not because they had died from AIDS. White has authored two books, including “Stranger at the Gate: To Be Gay and Christian in America.”

Students recognize Day of Silence to raise awareness of LGBT identity

BY THOMAS THOREN STAFF WRITER

University students are staying silent to speak out against harassment and bullying which can silence LGBT-identifying people.

Schools of all levels throughout the country are recognizing the national Day of Silence Friday, but University offices and student organizations collaborated to schedule a unique day for campus.

Katy Weseman, assistant director for the LGBT Resource Center, said the purpose of the day is to “raise awareness about the silence that LGBT people face by either being forced to be in the closet about their sexual or gender identity, or being forced into the closet by policies or environments where they don’t feel comfortable coming out.” Friday’s events will begin at noon with a rally led by the Rev. Dr. Mel White on the Quad. White, the keynote speaker, focuses his speeches on the interactions between LGBT and Christian identities. In his speech Thursday evening, “Stranger at the Gate: To Be Gay and Christian in America,” White spoke about his experiences as a gay Christian pastor to a crowd at the Community United Church of Christ. The registered student organization Building Bridges led the initiative to bring White to campus. Building Bridges President Harrison Hakes, junior in FAA, said his organization exists because Christians and LGBT people are often viewed as conflicting groups.

“We want to support that you can have both identities,” he said. “You can pursue both spirituality and sexuality and embrace both identities.”

Participants will hold a die-in at the intersection of Green Street and Wright Street Friday afternoon and

a hug-in on Green Street on Friday night. The die-in will feature students laying in the intersection during the walk signal to represent LGBT deaths throughout the year that were a result of bullying and suicide.

“It’s a visual way to show the impact of all these people who have died,” Hakes said.

This will transition into a second speech by White at the Alma Mater, which will culminate with the participants breaking their silence at 5 p.m.

The Green Street hug-in is unique to the University campus because it was created four years ago when Steven Velasquez was attacked on Green Street because his attackers thought he was gay. The Day of Silence participants responded to this attack by creating a tradition of walking along Green Street while handing out hugs, ribbons and bracelets. They also speak out against discrimination and hate crimes.

Raising awareness of LGBT peoples’ silence is the most important part of the day, said Josh Pagan, vice president of the registered student organization Pride. He said he takes a different approach to the Day of Silence because he does not remain silent throughout the day. Instead, he takes it upon himself to inform bystanders why the participants are silent.

“It’s effective to raise awareness, but you also need to have that person that’s vocal to explain why people are being silent,” said Pagan, junior in LAS. He said the LGBT community is focusing on reinventing their outreach methods and will use the Day of Silence to begin these efforts.

“I’m hoping this is a good start to expanding and changing the ways we reach out to LGBT students, and also just other parts of the University,” Pagan said.

SADIE TEPER THE DAILY ILLINI

Participants cheer as they walk on the main Quad in the Take Back the Night march against rape Thursday night.

TAKEBACK FROM PAGE 1A tor of sexual assault education at the Women’s Resource Center, said Paceley is a long-time advocate, who was chosen to speak because of her decades of antisexual violence work.

Scott said it is a rare opportunity for people to be very vocal and public about a protest, and she hoped participants found what they were looking for at the event. She added that when survivors, allies, community members and students come together to protest something as important as sexual violence, it promotes a “sense of strength and empowerment.”

“People just really enjoy the sense of community, knowing that there’s a large group of people fighting for the same cause,” Scott said. “Take Back the Night is also really powerful for survivors and victims because they realize they’re not alone.”

Ally Alvarez, freshman in LAS, agrees with Scott saying she feels proud to be a part of something so significant. She said if people spread the word beyond the event, she believes participants can make an even bigger impact on the community.

“The issue of sexual violence is extremely important, and I really think there should be more awareness about it,” Alvarez said. “It’s great that the whole community is com-

ing together for something like this.”

According to takebackthenight.org, the first Take Back the Night event took place in Philadelphia in 1975 after a young woman was murdered while walking home alone. Citizens came together for a candlelight march through the streets of Philadelphia. Since then, the movement has spread world-wide.

“The ultimate goal is to bring visibility to the issue of ending sexual violence,” Scott said. “(Take Back the Night) is something that is really recognizable for people. We’re giving the community awareness about a big issue. Everybody can do something to stop it.”

DALLAS — For years, Katie Sanchez participated in her local Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, raising money annually to honor her aunt, cousin and a male friend — all breast cancer survivors.

But when her local race rolls around this fall, she won’t be there. She already donated her entry fee to Planned Parenthood.

“Pretty much everyone I walk with has decided to do something else,” she said.

Sanchez and many other Komen supporters have abandoned the nation’s largest breast-cancer charity since news emerged in late January that it had decided to stop making grants to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer-screening. Komen soon reversed that move following a three-day onslaught of criticism.

Organizers of individual Race for the Cure events — 5K runs and walks that account for most of the charity’s fundraising — have seen participation decline by as much as 30 percent. Most also saw their fundraising numbers go down, although a couple of races brought in more money.

Race organizers acknowledge the effect of the Planned Parenthood debacle, which angered people on both sides of the abortion debate.

“I think there’s no getting around the fact that the controversy did have an impact,” said Leslie Aun, a spokeswoman for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. “We’re not back where we were. We know that it’s going to take a while.”

BUDGET FROM PAGE 1A “The top thing that makes a University what it is, is the faculty and staff,” Kangas said.

“The budget request that was made last September to the state highlighted (salary increases) and had funding for a 3 percent salary program; we will see what happens based on legislative action in the spring.”

Given the state-University funding history, the University of Illinois Foundation is seeking to find additional ways to fund the increases.

Donald Kojich, vice president for marketing and communication of the University of Illinois Foundation, said the foundation’s started a campaign in 2003 to alleviate the funding situation.

“For faculty support, 1.671 billion dollar goal are what we have raised that are gifts, pledges and commitments,” Kojich said.

In fiscal year 2011, the salary rates of Urbana campus faculty members ranked 19th out of 21 peer public universities, a group of similar universities established as peers by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

Paul Diehl, political science professor, said as a faculty member, he would like to see some state money go toward faculty member positions that were cut.

“Generally, we have not received a large salary increase for the last several years, and we have started to fall behind some peers,” he said. “From a faculty member standpoint, it isn’t just paying more for the faculty members that are here but trying to increase the size of the faculty given that it shrinks substantially.”

Diehl said it is vital to recruit more faculty members by having competitive salary rates as the student population increases.

“We like to do a good job in teaching and advising students, and the fewer faculty members and more students, it becomes more difficult,” he said.

Campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said the Urbana campus will have “dozens” of staff members to fill the vacancies, hopefully by the fall.

THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID

How far is too far when it comes to extreme dieting?

MELANIE STONE Opinions columnist

“I

t’s called the Marshmallow Diet,” my friend Trish informed me as we stood in her kitchen. “You just eat one bag of marshmallows throughout the day, and that’s it.”

I stared at her in disbelief.

“How can that possibly work?”

Apparently, the sugary white fluff is supposed to expand in your stomach, making you feel full. That’s what my friend claimed, at least. For about 10 seconds, I seriously considered trying the Marshmallow Diet, until my brain’s common sense kicked in. Plus, I don’t even like marshmallows that much.

Later that day, I got to thinking about crazy diets and weight loss. We go to ridiculous lengths in order to drop a few pounds, and for what? To fit into those jeans? To look great in a bikini?

I couldn’t help but wonder: How far is too far?

Just this week, I learned of a new extreme one that’s far worse that the Marshmallow Diet: The Feeding Tube Diet.

It’s exactly what it sounds like.

A person sticks a tube up his or her nose, receiving just 800 calories per day in a desperate attempt to lose weight. This tiny tube goes through the nose and straight to the stomach, sending protein, fat and water. And absolutely no carbs.

According to a New York Times article, this route to thinness is used “casually” in Italy and Spain. That’s right, casual-

ly. Imagine girls walking down Green Street with tubes stuck up their noses. It’s far-fetched, but if it can happen in Europe, then surely the trend can gain popularity here.

This is an issue that hits home. Ever since middle school, I’ve struggled with body image issues, constantly trying to control my weight. I count calories, work out every single day and strictly regulate my intake of the forbidden foods: cookies, cake, candy and anything else with skyrocketing sugar counts.

Frosting is my all-time favorite treat; I haven’t consumed it without feeling guilty in years.

“You always eat so healthy,” people tell me. “Salad for dinner, again?”

Yes, salad is my dinner almost every night. Boring, boring salad. I just can’t allow myself the satisfaction of a greasy slice of pizza or French fries, let alone anything else that would disrupt my daily caloric intake.

However, there’s a fine line between calorie control and feeding tubes. These extreme techniques are taking things too far.

And, what’s more, they don’t provide long-term results. Jeanette Andrade, graduate assistant at McKinley Health Center and registered dietician, said they are simply a quick fix.

“Fad diets don’t work,” she said.

“They don’t teach you how to eat properly.”

Marshmallows certainly don’t reflect appropriate eating habits.

A bag of them is as nutritional as a doorknob. Still, fad diets like this are taking over. Don’t forget about the Hollywood Cookie Diet, the Cabbage Soup Diet and the Baby Food Diet. The list

goes on and on.

“It’s hard to say how many students on campus are trying these diets,” Andrade said. “I do think it’s rampant, but it’s with the students who aren’t coming to us. People don’t come into McKinley and announce that they’re on a fad diet.”

The bottom line is this: Fad diets fail. Maybe it worked for one girl who was trying to slim down before spring break. Or maybe it worked for someone who needed to lose weight to fit into a certain dress. But the

results of these diets are temporary, and the weight will always come back.

I know how it feels to look in the mirror and cringe. I’ve been there. But resorting to a feeding tube is dangerous and is not going to bring you anything but hunger pangs and strange looks.

Are fad diets really worth the emotional and physical pain?

Will losing 5 pounds in a few days truly bring you happiness?

I think not.

Student body president plans to continue UI tradition of excellence To my fellow students of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: First and foremost, I’d like to introduce myself as your new student body president. I’m honored to have been elected to this office, and I pledge my time and energy to fight for students throughout my term.

In this upcoming year, a major priority of mine will be to increase the collaboration of student organizations across campus. So much energy and enthusiasm flows across this campus — in student organizations, in research and in classrooms. We should channel this energy when our interests align, and in doing so, there is nothing on this campus that we cannot alter for the better. The University is home to some of the best and brightest from across the world.

Let’s preserve our long-standing tradition of excellence and be a model of how a community can work together to promote a common interest and effect beneficial change.

The Illinois Student Senate is the official student government of our campus, and we are committed to representing the interests of you, the stu-

THOUGHTS ON THE SIDE

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Cut Ill. budget, not humanity For the second year in a row, Gov. Pat Quinn is trying to save the state money by cutting services to those with severe mental illness. This year Quinn’s budget plan includes closing Tinley Park and Singer mental health centers.

In his budget address, Quinn set a goal to move patients out of institutions and into a community-based care setting. The patients who would be displaced from these facilities are the most severely mentally ill.

Although there is a one-time increase in funding for community mental health

centers in the regions where these facilities are located, this will not be sufficient for the continued treatment of the former patients after year one. Community mental health centers are already eliminating programs and staff every year due to funding cuts, and this will no doubt have to continue for years to come without increased funding for community-based services.

Without the availability of comparably intensive services in the community as those they are currently receiving at Tinley Park or Singer, the displaced patients will almost assuredly end up on the streets, more likely to commit a crime, sending them to jail where it

costs more to house them than it would cost to keep the mental health facilities open. The state of Illinois and its taxpayers will be paying for these patients’ care in one facility or another; it just seems more humane to treat them in a mental health facility rather than jail.

It is clear that the state budget needs to be reworked but not at the expense of those without the ability to speak for themselves. We must fight for the severely mentally ill and provide them with the treatment and services they need and deserve.

T

oday marks one of the last days of National Volunteer Week. Better than “Organize Your Files” Week or “Cleaning for a Reason” Week, Volunteer Week is a seven-day fiesta that celebrates all things volunteerism and goodwill.

One event the University does is a recognition ceremony for star volunteers. I’ve had the privilege to learn more about these individuals through talking to some people in the Office of Volunteer Programs.

The 12 individuals who have worked through different situations — from raking leaves for the elderly, to weekly working with various food banks.

In truth, they aren’t the only outstanding people.

Many students I know volunteer. We’re a campus where many people think beyond the Quad and look at the ways to help out the city as a whole.

However, I am calling out those who don’t, of which I am one of the worst culprits: I haven’t volunteered since my junior year in high school.

I’m one of those hyper-involved, always-moving types. I write for various publications, work for the Leadership Center, work for a publishing center and keep my grades up. I log a crazy amount of hours for the Illini Union Board. Occasionally, I sleep. So I’ve always justified not doing anything more because, well, I’m busy.

The things I do benefit my campus community. Isn’t it enough?

Not really. I’m not going to devalue my accomplishments because they are things I’m extremely proud of, and I’m obviously a strong advocate for enhancing student life. But I still

needed to branch out. I was getting slightly self-absorbed.

Cue my class Learning in Community, which I took for the semester. I looked at my track record for community service at the University (it was zero), and decided to give it a try.

Unfortunately, the only one I could take was the Boys & Girls Club section, which slightly dampened my idealized version of volunteering. I dreaded the idea of working with kids because I had visions of constantly getting kicked in the ankles. Let’s face it, I’m not one to win any Maternal Figure of the Year awards.

As I spent more time at the club, though, I began to feel happier about myself and my involvement. The kids have taught me a lot, especially on just being young again. I feel like I’m influencing someone by talking to them and making them feel important.

And every Friday that I go, I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time.

Volunteering doesn’t just have to be something we do only to help out the community or to put on a resume or because our friends are doing it too. These are all good reasons, but there’s also the introspective reason as well: Volunteering teaches you more about yourself.

By volunteering, people may find an inner strength or talent they never had or decide they care even more about an issue.

For me, it was relearning all the values I held dear as a kid, like fairness and equality for all people. For others, it could be realizing their love for nonprofit organizational work or writing grants. And that self-discovery, that piece of ourselves we all strive to find in college, makes reaching out to the community worth it.

Happy Volunteering Week, everyone. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the club.

By volunteering, people may find an inner strength or talent they never had or decide that they care even more about an issue.

A woman walks her dog along a trail at the Gebhard Woods State Park near Morris, Ill. Money raised from proposed admission fees would help replace funding cut from state parks in recent years and would go to upkeep and repairs.

Admission fee proposal in works for State Parks

BY SHANNON MCFARLAND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLINTON, Ill. — Melissa Blasen doesn’t think twice about crossing into property owned and managed by the State of Illinois when she heads out for her usual two-mile loop walk. She’s been coming to Weldon Springs State Park for years, to exercise or enjoy the outdoors with her two young grandchildren.

But Blasen and other Illinoisans may soon face a choice — watch the state’s parks fall further into disrepair, or chip in a few dollars for their upkeep.

With the state deeply in debt, lawmakers in Springfield are mulling a proposal to charge admission fees for the first time to the state’s hundreds of recreational properties. The money, proponents say, would be used to close a $750 million backlog in park maintenance and repairs

because of years of shrinking budgets.

If the legislature approves it, a bill sponsored by Rep. JoAnn Osmond, R-Antioch, would allow state officials to charge visitors an annual or daily fee to enter state parks. An annual admission fee would be no more than $25 and a daily pass around $5 to $8.

The House approved Osmond’s measure by 81-29 in March, and it is now moving through the Senate. The original bill would charge fees to anyone who entered the parks, but Osmond said the Senate may amend the bill to affect only car visitors.

Marc Miller, director of the state Department of Natural Resources, said the idea isn’t merely keeping the park’s buildings looking nice. It’s about the health and safety of the parks and visitors.

An estimated 45 million people

per year visit Illinois’ 324 stateowned natural properties, including state parks, officials say.

DNR officials would decide which properties would require admissions, meaning they could adopt a different policy for those hiking the cliffs at popular Starved Rock State Park than for others who just want to use the picnic tables at Channahon State Park.

State funding for the parks had been cut from $23 million in 2006 to $9 million in this year’s budget.

Officials estimate the proposed entrance fees would bring in $7-8 million. The permits would give the parks dedicated funds, like hunting and fishing fees do for wildlife areas.

“Bottom line is that we need to support state parks,” Miller said.

“With the pressures on the state budgets, the department is going to continue to be squeezed out of that revenue pie.”

MARCO AND MARTY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

J ERUSA L EM — Israe lis flocked to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial Thursday to read the names of loved ones who perished at the hands of the Nazis during World War II, a rite that has become a centerpiece of the country’s annual commemoration for the 6 million Jews killed in the genocide.

The ceremony, known as “Every Person Has a Name,” tries to go beyond the huge numbers to personalize the stories of individuals, families and communities destroyed during the war.

Zvi Shefet, an 87-year-old survivor, carried a list of 48 names, including those of his parents, his lone sister, his grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Having fled to the countryside, he remained not only the lone survivor of his family but also one of the few Jews to escape from the village of Slonim — then part of Poland, today in Belarus — where Nazi troops massacred nearly 30,000 Jews and dumped their bodies into open pits.

“These people have no grave, no tombstone. Their names are written nowhere,” said Shefet, who later migrated to Israel and now has three children and eight grandchildren. “When I go to Yad Vashem, it is like I am going to the cemetery, to remember my family but also my community

— all those who died and have no one left behind to even remember them or commemorate them.”

Israel came to a standstill Thursday morning to honor the victims when sirens wailed for two-minutes across the country.

Pedestrians stood in place, buses stopped on busy streets and cars pulled over on major highways — their drivers standing on the roads with their heads bowed.

In homes and businesses, people stopped what they were doing to pay homage to the victims of the Nazi genocide, in which a third of world Jewry was annihilated.

A wreath laying ceremony at Yad Vashem followed, with Israeli leaders and Holocaust survivors in attendance. Other ceremonies, prayers and musical performances took place in schools, community centers and army bases.

The annual remembrance is one of the most solemn on Israel’s calendar.

Restaurants, cafes and places of entertainment shut down, and radio and TV programming were dedicated almost exclusively to documentaries about the Holocaust, interviews with survivors and somber music. The Israeli fl ag flew at half staff.

Unusually warm weather helps Ill. unemployment rate drop in March

BY DAVID MERCER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHAMPAIGN — Illinois’ unemployment rate fell below 9 percent in March for the first time in more than two years in what continues to be a slow, sometimes unsteady recovery from recession, the state Department of Employment Security said Thursday. Manufacturing appears to be driving much of the decrease.

March unemployment dropped to 8.8 percent from 9.1 percent a month earlier. Unemployment has decreased for seven straight months, though joblessness in Illinois remains higher than the 8.2 percent nation rate. Illinois unemployment is typically higher than the country as a whole.

“The job growth is real, the decline in the unemployment rate is real, and what also remains real is the potential for up-anddown movement in both numbers,” department spokesman Greg Rivara said. “That up-and-

down movement or that volatility has been the hallmark of this recovery.”

The department reported big gains — 8,100 net jobs added — in the professional and business services sector, an area that is largely driven right now by temporary jobs. Rivara said many of those gains appeared to be in manufacturing, an area where the recovery has been relatively strong but where some employers haven’t been confident enough to add their own employees.

“You have a company that sees an increase in orders, is unsure about how steady that increase is going to be and goes for temporary help to fill that hire,” Rivara said.

Manufacturers combined to add another 5,200 employees to their own staffs in March.

Employers in the heavily weather-related leisure and hospitality sector also were hiring in March, adding 5,500 jobs in March.

“You had an unusually warm March,” Rivara said.

Earlier this month the Illinois Water Survey reported that this March was the warmest in recorded history in Illinois and eight other Midwestern states, wrapping up the warmest winter in Illinois since 1895.

The biggest drop in jobs was among construction fi rms — another industry closely tied to the weather — which reported a net loss of 5,000 jobs in March.

The loss in March followed an increase of 6,000 jobs in February, which at the time was attributed to unseasonably warm weather.

Construction firms might have added so many jobs in February, Rivara speculated, that few were hiring in March.

In all, Illinois has added 142,000 jobs since January 2010, the month the state started adding jobs after the long climb back from the recession, the department said.

Men’s gymnastics places 1st at NCAA preliminaries

BY EMILY BAYCI SENIOR WRITER

It didn’t even matter if the Illini won the meet, yet 16 gymnasts looked on nervously as the judges calculated freshman C.J. Maestas’ ring score. It was the conclusion of the preliminary session of the men’s gymnastics NCAA Championships on Thursday night, and Illinois was roughly a point behind host Oklahoma.

The Illini frantically tried to add in their heads when the judges posted a score of 15.450 for Maestas to see if they could overtake the Sooners. Illinois ended the night victorious, winning 356.250-356.200

against No. 1-ranked Oklahoma.

Illinois was able to pick what rotation they begin on Friday because of the first-place finish.

The gymnasts chose vault so they would end on rings — just as they did Thursday.

“We like the high energy that starts on vault,” Maestas said. “It gets us pumped up and ready to go.”

The top three teams in the evening session of six (Illinois, Oklahoma and UC Berkeley) advanced to Friday night’s team finals. They will be joined by Michigan, Penn State and Stanford, which are all vying for the national crown.

The Illini rested many of their top athletes, using five gymnasts in multiple events instead of six.

“We didn’t want it to be too perfect, of course, because we wanted to have room to rev up for tomorrow,” freshman Mike Wilner said.

The Illini’s main focus is Friday night, when they are putting their strongest lineup forward in an effort to win their first NCAA championship in 23 years.

“Tomorrow is a whole different demon,” head coach Justin Spring said. “The energy in this place is going to be big and Oklahoma is going to feed off that energy, but we just need to do our job.”

Oklahoma a top contender for NCAA title In a field with many strong teams, Spring said Oklahoma is probably the Illini’s toughest competition.

The top-seeded Sooners have the advantage of the host crowd and have won every NCAA championship they have hosted (2002 and 2006). They haven’t lost a regularseason meet at home in 19 meets.

“We will certainly use the home crowd to our advantage,” Oklahoma head coach Mark Williams said.

ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL Weinstein represents women’s gymnastics at NCAA championship

BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER

This time last year, Alina Weinstein was traveling with the Illinois women’s gymnastics team to compete at her fi rst-ever NCAA Championships. This year, she is traveling to nationals again but will be the only gymnast representing the Illini.

Already having one year of experience will benefit Weinstein by allow-

ing her to focus more on herself than the overpowering environment.

“Last year, nationals was very nerve racking and was a little overwhelming because I hadn’t been there before,” Weinstein said. “To be amongst such great gymnastics was defi nitely overwhelming. I didn’t really handle the experience as best as I could. I was very jittery, and I think this year I will be a little bit

more calm. I know what to expect going there, so I think that I’ll be able to focus on just doing the job that I do in the gym and not worry about the external factors.”

Though Weinstein won’t be surrounded by familiar orange and blue leotards, she might fi nd familiarity rotating with the Big Ten’s new addition, Nebraska. The Cornhuskers will be starting the meet on the uneven bars, the balance beam and then a bye rotation. The fl oor exercise will follow, and then they’ll end on the vault during the fi fth rotation.

“It’s defi nitely going to be weird because I look forward to hanging

out with my teammates on road trips and being with them. When we’re at meets, I compete for them. It’s going to be weird competing for myself and being with a different team because we kind of have confl icting goals. They’re obviously going to try and go to the Super Six and I’m just trying to have fun and represent my team the best I can.”

Weinstein worked hard in order to compete last season as a sophomore after not seeing much competition during her freshman year. She competed in the all-around competition in every meet except for one during the 2010-11 season. Weinstein

competed in the all-around again this season, with the exception of one meet where she suffered a concussion. She has set a new careerhigh record in the all-around with a 39.450, which crowned her the second-ever regional all-around champion from Illinois.

“It’s such an opportunity for Alina,” Illinois head coach Kim Landrus said. “She’s really come into her own this year. Her freshman year she started off and only competed one meet in the all-around. Sophomore year was a little bit slow, and this

Baseball expects pitching improvements will conquer Ohio State

BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER

After bouncing back from a four-game slide with two midweek wins, the Illinois baseball team is set to dig in at home against Ohio State for a threegame weekend swing.

The two teams sport similar overall records, though Illinois (20-16, 3-6 Big Ten) is coming off being swept last weekend in West Lafayette, Ind., by Purdue. Ohio State (21-16, 6-6) lost the last two

games of its weekend series with Nebraska before dropping two midweek games against Xavier and Cincinnati. All four Buckeyes losses were at home.

Ohio State and Illinois rank ninth and 10th in the conference in ERA, respectively, though the Illini have not allowed more than five runs in any of its last seven games, its best such streak of the season. Illinois had a threegame period two weeks prior to that stretch wherein it allowed

47 runs.

“I thought (the pitching staff) performed very well at Purdue, and I thought they performed well the two games this week,” Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb said. “Even when we had a couple little scuffles, we either worked out of situations or we had a pitcher come in and pick a guy up, and that’s what it takes to be a good pitching staff. So I think we’ve made a lot of progress.”

With a redshirt freshman

catching and two true freshman in the normal weekend rotation, there has been somewhat of an acclimation process for the pitchers and catcher, which the Illini may be starting to get past.

“It’s improved a lot, it’s a long way from the first day,” catcher Kelly Norris-Jones said. “I know the routines, and they know mine.

We’re closer, everyone’s more close as a group, so it helps a lot.”

“It’s gotten to the point where Kelly just kinda reads my mind

out there,” Saturday starter John Kravetz said. “I have my grip already set, and I know he’s gonna throw (the corresponding signal) down on a certain pitch.”

While the credit for the improvement could easily be given to the pitching, Illinois has reigned in error-making tendencies such as making aggressive, risky throws when there is a slim chance of making the intended play.

“We’ve really cleaned it up ...

Coach Hartleb was preaching that at the beginning. ‘It’s really hard to win games when you don’t even give yourself a chance,’” right fielder Davis Hendrickson said. “So as long as we’re not making errors, we’re giving ourselves a chance to win.”

On the mound, Illinois will lead the series with its usual one-two punch of ace Kevin Johnson (5-3, 3.95 ERA) and Kravetz (5-3, 4.69 ERA), but Sunday’s starter is yet to be determined.

Illini men’s tennis seniors prepare for final match

BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

Senior day can affect players in completely different ways. Just ask the two on the Illinois men’s tennis team.

“Yeah, it really has (sunk in),” Roy Kalmanovich said. “I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and it’s an interesting feeling knowing that it’s coming to an end. But it’s been a great experience, and I definitely think four years is enough.”

“Not really,” Dennis Nevolo said. “It still feels like it’s just another match right now. Maybe it will sink in while we’re playing.

It’s not something I’ve thought about too much.”

The two teammates will be playing their last home match at Atkins Tennis Center on Sunday against Purdue (10-13, 2-7 Big Ten). However, the team first must travel to Bloomington on Friday against No. 36 Indiana (18-8, 5-4).

The No. 20 Illini (13-6, 7-2) have lost three of their past five, losing back-to-back matches for the first time this season to No. 6 Kentucky and No. 3 Ohio State last week.

“We talked during the long bus rides about the standards we want to set for the program,” Illinois head coach Brad Dancer said.

“We don’t feel like those matches against Kentucky and Ohio State measured up to that standard.”

Illinois moved up in the rankings by three spots despite the losses.

The team currently sits third in the Big Ten standings behind Ohio State and No. 21 Michigan. The two Illini seniors headline the singles rankings, with Nevolo coming in at seventh and Kalmanovich at 30th in the nation. They are ranked 20th overall as a doubles pair and have posted a 7-2 record this season (6-1 in conference).

Indiana will commemorate its three seniors Friday during its senior day. It has been an up-anddown year for the Hoosiers, but they look to end on a high note and send their seniors out in style. A win for the Illini against the Hoosiers would even the all-time record between the two schools at 42 wins apiece.

“I think our guys are pretty good about focusing one match at a time,” Dancer said. “We lost to Indiana last year, and that was a pretty big low note on the year for us, so we’ll see if we can bounce back against them this time around.”

Purdue has lost three straight matches overall and is coming off of a six-match home stand. The last road competition for the team was April 8 at Iowa.

Despite the losses last week, Kalmanovich stressed the importance of learning something from each match and becoming better as a team.

“I feel we’re a little more experienced now,” he said.

“There’s been more of an urgency to win because of the losses before.

So I think that’s almost a good thing heading into these last two matches.”

Practice in the gym the past two weeks has been different for Weinstein because she is the only one in the gym preparing for another competition. But having her teammates in the gym as a support system help Weinstein stay focused.

“It’s different just because we feed off of everybody in the gym,” Weinstein said. “I feed off of everyone else’s energy and when we are all having the same task and same goals, it’s a lot easier. Now it’s just different. I can’t say that I’m less motivated because I’m defi nitely excited, but I defi nitely miss working out with the rest of my teammates.

Resurgent softball anticipates Hackett’s return

BY DAN LONGO STAFF WRITER

The Illinois softball team will have a chance to make up some ground in the conference standings this weekend, as it will host the second-best team in the Big Ten, Purdue. The Illini enter this weekend’s series sporting some momentum after winning three of their last five.

After scoring just four runs during its seven-game losing streak, the Illini offense has responded by scoring 24 runs in the past five games.

“I believe mentally we’re a lot stronger in the box,” shortstop Jessica Davis said. ”We’re going up there with the confidence and we know we have the ability to go up there and have a great offense.

It’s just us putting it together and believing in ourselves.”

It recognizes excellence in gymnastics, good sportsmanship and high academic performance during an athlete’s collegiate career.

“Paul is a great sportsman as well as character and with his teammates,” Spring said. “It is very well deserved, I’m very proud to have him and am sorry to see him leave.”

Four Illini gymnasts have received the award: Ruggeri, Luke Stannard (2010), current Illinois head coach Justin Spring (2006) and David Zeddies (1989).

Ruggeri took Big Ten titles on the vault and floor on April 7 and holds 73 career victories — the third most in program history.

On the mound, the Illini will be led by Pepper Gay, who is coming off a strong outing against Western Illinois. If there is a soft spot to Purdue, it would be its pitching as its team ERA ranks eighth in the Big Ten.

Men’s track and field heads to 2 away games

BY BOB MERLO STAFF WRITER

The Illinois men’s track and field team will have a full squad competing this weekend, with different event crews competing at different meets, 2,500 miles away from each other.

The sprint and field event crews will travel to Fayetteville, Ark., to compete in the John McDonnell Invitational, while the distance squad will make the trip west to compete in the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Ca. The meets should provide the Illini with a benchmark for their performances in the Big Ten Championships, which is only two weeks away.

“This is the time of the year where everybody is going to have an eye on them,” head coach Mike Turk said.

Steroids not the only aspect of sports drug culture

Survey says almost a quarter of athletes admit to using cannabis within past 12 months KEVIN THORNTON Sports columnist

C

ollege football programs around the country are helping to redefine the term “higher education.”

An ESPN article Wednesday put the Oregon Ducks on the hot seat, revealing the prevalence of marijuana use by its football players over the last 15 years. According to the story, former and current Ducks estimate between 40-60 percent of their teammates smoked weed.

“If you’re not hurting the team, everyone’s cool with it,” former Oregon quarterback Akili Smith explained with regard to how players police themselves.

Fenuki Tupou, a former Duck and current member of the New

Orleans Saints, addressed one of the reasons why college athletes smoke pot, saying, “When you’re bored, it’s not like you’re going to read a book.”

This isn’t the first time the Oregon football program has been in the national spotlight for transgressions involving marijuana. Quarterback Darron Thomas and cornerback/ punt returner Cliff Harris were pulled over last June after being clocked at 118 mph. According to the police report, the car smelled like pot, Harris’ eyes were “blown,” and when the officer asked who had marijuana in the car, Harris replied, “We smoked it all.”

Harris and Oregon are hardly alone in their casual attitude in regards to marijuana. In February, four Texas Christian University football players were arrested after getting caught in a drug sting. These are only two of

many similar stories that occur on college campuses around the country every year.

The NCAA’s latest drug-use survey from 2009 revealed that 22.6 percent of athletes admitted to using marijuana in the previous 12 months — football having the highest percentage at 26.7.

These numbers force the question to be asked: Is anyone really surprised to find out some college students smoke weed?

College students aren’t the only one’s responsible; their views simply mirror the values of the country they were raised in. Marijuana is the third most popular recreational drug in America behind alcohol and tobacco. Nearly 100 million Americans have used marijuana, and almost 15 million have smoked it within the last month.

Sixteen states, as well as Washington D.C., currently allow medical cannabis or have decriminal-

ized marijuana in some form.

Despite all the risks of getting caught and punished for using an illegal substance, people still do it. And professional athletes are no exception. Far too often we are able to see — in both sports and society — that alcohol is a more dangerous and detrimental drug than marijuana. Look no further than Adam “Pacman” Jones or Donte Stallworth to see how devastating alcohol can be.

Pro sports used to hide behind a veil of professionalism and integrity, but the NFL, NBA and MLB have all had their own drug cultures exposed. Baseball is still reeling from the revelation of the whole steroids and performanceenhancing drug-era; it may never fully recover if forced to put asterisks on a multiple decades of records.

One NFL executive who interviewed prospects at the combine said around 70 percent confessed

of the greatest freshman years ever at Kansas State and it was debated if he or Derrick Rose should be selected No. 1. Lucky for Bulls fans, Beasley has since been involved in multiple off-thecourt issues, including the time he tweeted a picture of his new back tattoo without first making sure his bag of pot wasn’t in the frame.

Michael Phelps: Can anyone ever forget the first time they saw the picture of Phelps smoking a bong? Phelps holds the all-time record with 14 gold medals, eight in the Beijing Olympics alone. He lost some endorsements because of the scandal, but his experience with marijuana and chlorine would make him a great spokesman for Clear Eyes.

to smoking pot. Given marijuana’s popularity, teams could assume the player was lying if they denied ever using it. Some agents believe that teams care more about character and integrity than marijuana use, suggesting lying would be worse than admitting to smoking weed.

Most people probably wouldn’t consider marijuana to be a performance-enhancing drug. It pretty much has the opposite effect, which makes it that much more impressive when high-caliber athletes are discovered to have smoked pot. Here are three of the most famous professionals to be caught: Ricky Williams: Many consider the Heisman winner and Pro Bowl running back to be synonymous with marijuana. He violated the NFL’s substance abuse policy more often than most people get caught speeding.

Michael Beasley: He had one

“We’re playing up North again, so the grass is different, we’ve been South all year,” Burge said.

“The climate will be different. We expect more wind and colder weather. We’ll see some teams at Purdue that we’ll see at Big Tens.”

The Boilermaker Invitational features two teams in the top 25 in No. 21 Kent State and Big Ten-front runner No. 25 Iowa. Five Big Ten teams in total, including Indiana and Michigan State, will compete at Purdue’s invitational.

Guthrie has confidence in the team despite the tough competition. “(The tournament) is out there for the taking.
