· A Double-Edged Sword: Annabelle’s Story ·

UNACCOUNTED Editor’s note: This is the first of a three-part series on sexual assault on campus. The stories in this series contain graphic descriptions by real University students whose names have been changed to protect their identities.

BY BRITTNEY NADLER STAFF WRITER

In her mind, having sex with her ex would bring him back.

In 2012, 12 sexual assaults were reported at the University — that year, a campus of 42,883 students — according to the University Police Department Annual Security Report. All reports were made by females. In 2011, a total of 11 reported attacks came entirely from females, and in 2010, only two of the 12 reports were male, said Lt. Tony Brown of the support services bureau of the University police department. These numbers are vastly lower than the estimates of Molly McLay, assistant director of the Women’s Resources Center. McLay said approximately one-in-five females (or 2,838 undergraduates on this campus in 2012) will be sexually assaulted throughout their undergraduate careers. It would also mean that, annually, 710 females will be sexually assaulted. For undergraduate males, roughly one-in-16 (or 1,106 in 2012) will be sexually assaulted over their undergraduate careers — annually, 277 sexual assaults. That adds up to 987 sexual assaults per year, 975 more than the reported number.

nnabelle felt the pressure. She felt it from her ex-boyfriend, she felt it from his promise to get back together with her and, above all, she felt it from herself. In her mind, having sex with her ex would bring him back. It happened three months after Annabelle, a 17-year-old senior in high school, and her boyfriend, Nick, had broken up. She had been having sex with him because he said it was how she could prove her love to him. In reality, as she would later find out, he was also sleeping with other girls. One night while hooking up in her car, Annabelle brought up the idea of getting back together. But Nick

said she would never be anything but a trophy wife, more of a girl that guys like to toss around until they get bored — a slut. At that moment, she realized what she was doing and that Nick didn’t actually care about her. She began to turn away and told him to leave her alone — but he had a different plan. Nick raped her. “Don’t you like that?” he whispered in her ear. She screamed “Stop!” and he said it again. He told her to shut up while she cried and yelled. She eventually gave up, staring at the top of the car, waiting for him to finish. She then dressed in silence. She stared blankly at the streetlights as she drove him home. He tried to hold her hand and kiss her

good night, but she rejected him. “Thanks for that. I really enjoyed your special treat,” Nick said to her when he left. Annabelle went home that night, keeping quiet about what had happened. She would endure the next six months carrying the burden of that secret. She didn’t go out, and she pretended nothing happened between her and Nick. She stayed in her room at night, alone, crying, and when it all became too much, she stepped in front of a car that “luckily stopped.” Annabelle spent extra time at her local pool and with her best friend. She went to work. She began personal therapy. One day, she even told Nick she forgave him.

Annabelle is part of the majority. Most sexual assaults go unreported for a variety of reasons. Many survivors don’t realize their attack is an assault. Many don’t wish to report the crime, and others don’t want to carry on with the investigation after reporting it. In 2012, 12 sexual assaults were reported at the University — that year, a campus of 42,883 students — according to the University Police Department Annual Security Report. All reports were made by females. In 2011, all 11 reported attacks came entirely from females, and in 2010, only two of the 12 reports were male, said Lt. Tony Brown of the support services bureau of the University police department. These numbers are vastly lower than the estimates of Molly McLay, assistant director of the Women’s Resources Center. McLay said approximately one-infive females (or 2,838 undergraduates on this campus in 2012) will be sexually assaulted throughout their undergraduate careers. It would also mean that, annually, 710 females on campus will be sexually assaulted. For undergraduate males, roughly one-in-16 (or 1,106 in 2012) will be sexually assaulted over their undergraduate careers — annually, 277 sexual assaults. Overall, that adds up to 987 sexual assaults per year, 975 more than the reported number. Every year, Rape Advocacy, Counseling and Education Servic-

es, or RACES, takes nearly 200 crisis calls, sees between 30 to 40 survivors and provides counseling and advocacy to about 130 people. RACES is a community-based rape crisis center in Urbana that offers a hotline, 24-7 medical advocacy, follow-up services and free counseling. RACES advocates also go to schools to teach children about sexual assault and train professionals and community members, said Kerri True-Funk, executive director of RACES. True-Funk said RACES advocates don’t report the calls to the police or to the University because the hotline they run is confidential and anonymous. Victims may not think to report the assault immediately after it occurs, said Megan Pagel, FYCARE instructor and graduate student. “It might not even be something they’re thinking about at that time shortly afterwards,” Pagel said. “Then if they do realize it later down the line, they just figure it happened a while ago, what’s the point now?” Annabelle didn’t report her attack. Describing herself as a justice-oriented person, she said sending Nick to jail would put him at risk of being sexually assaulted. “I didn’t report it because I could never ruin someone’s life like that,” she said. Before actually reporting a sexual assault, coming to terms with being labeled as a victim and possibly being perceived as weak,

vulnerable and exploited can be enough to steer survivors away from fi ling charges, said Rick Stejskal, FYCARE instructor and graduate student. Instead of using the label “victim,” a better term to use is survivor. It provides empowerment and doesn’t diminish the person. “Just the word ‘victim’ in general is a very loaded word,” he said. Annabelle is familiar with the generalizations. “There’s a very big stereotype that people who get raped are stupid and ‘rape will never happen to me,’” she said, “and I guess people are embarrassed about it.” Many survivors of sexual assault know the perpetrator, making it extremely difficult for them to report the assault. Acquaintance rape is the most common type of rape, as 75 to 80 percent of all victims report knowing the perpetrator, True-Funk said. “When you’re dealing with neighbors, friends, dating partners, classmates, it can become a lot more complicated to report to an authority figure that the person that assaulted you is someone you willingly let into your dorm room or you willingly went to a party with,” she said. A few months after the attack, Nick texted Annabelle asking if they could be friends. “I completely exploded on him, saying left and right how horrible he was and how he treated me like shit,” she said. “It felt pretty good.”

Annabelle went home that night keeping quiet about what had happened. She would endure the next six months carrying the burden of that secret. She didn’t go out, and she pretended nothing happened between her and Nick. She stayed in her room at night, alone, crying, and when it all became too much, she stepped in front of a car that “luckily stopped.”

But she never reported him.

“There’s a very big stereotype that people who get raped are stupid and ‘rape will never happen to me,’ and I guess people are embarrassed about it.”

A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD But she knew exploding at him over text wouldn’t solve anything — it actually made her feel worse. Annabelle looked up counseling centers at his college and told him “he might want to look into it.” “That’s when I decided to try and tell my dad what happened,” she said. She pulled him aside that night and said it simply: She had been raped. But her father, who always liked Nick, looked at her and said he didn’t believe her — that it was probably her fault. “That devastated me.” Her brother had a different reaction. He was mad at her for not reporting it. “He screamed at me,” she said. “He felt it would be my responsibility if someone got raped by the same guy.” The most common sexual assault reports to police are attacks by strangers, McLay said. Reporting someone you know means that others in your life are likely to also know that person. “I’ve heard many survivors say that when they shared it with someone who cared about them, they treated them differently,” McLay said. “Either they didn’t want to talk about it or they minimized the whole experience. Or they treated them like they were fragile and broken, and both of those things can be very harmful.”

To this day, Annabelle’s parents pretend it never happened. They know what Nick did but still insist it was Annabelle’s fault. Her mother doesn’t talk about it. Annabelle did seek counseling, but she never brought up the rape. Instead, she confided in her best friend, Cassie. “I kept silent about it until the night of prom. I was terrified that my date would try to hook up with me, so I had been avoiding him all night,” Annabelle said. Cassie noticed her acting strange and pulled her aside. Annabelle shared everything, and Cassie revealed her own secret: She had been raped when she was 15 by one of her older brother’s friends. From then on, they were each other’s therapy, trying to help the other move on with her life. But Annabelle was brought back to the assault three months later when Nick once again texted her, explaining everything he had done to improve himself. “I am not really sure if he has or hasn’t (improved) because I honestly do not care to ever talk to him again, but there is no part of me that regrets not prosecuting him,” she said. “I guess to me, I don’t think all parts of a person are bad.” One day, Annabelle texted him first. “I don’t know if you even accept or believe this, but you raped me, and I want to say I forgive you.” She said it was the most helpful part of her healing process. Nick never replied. Because the majority of assaults go unreported, many rapists don’t think they’ll ever get caught and are likely to attack again, McLay said. She added that about 90 percent of rapists are “serial rapists,” and only 3 percent of rapists will ever see a day in prison. Reporting perpetrators is one way to hold them accountable for their actions, but this puts more responsibility on the survivor. “That also enforces rape culture because rape culture says a victim is responsible for this (and) needs to do all these things and really shifts the focus off the perpetrator,” McLay said. “It’s sort of a double-edged sword.”

After retrocommissioning

The retrocommissioning team reviews and improves University building’s energy use. The project was started in 2006, and, since then, they have retrocommissioned 50 buildings, including: ALL PHOTOS BY AUSTIN KEATING THE DAILY ILLINI

Chemical and Life Sciences Laboratory

Annual energy avoidance: 22% Retrocommissioned in 2009 Home to 10 Nobel prize winners, this 24-hour research facility uses a lot of power. One of the ways the retrocommissioning team fixed the building’s energy use was by creating an occupancy schedule during unoccupied hours in office areas.

Main Library

Annual energy avoidance: 38% Retrocommissioned in 2011-2012 When the team investigated the building, they found that many rooms were being heated and cooled simultaneously. So one of the highlights of the retrocommissioning is that they calibrated the thermostats to not do that anymore.

Bevier Hall

Annual energy avoidance: 18% Retrocommissioned in 2009-2010 The team changed operation hours for the air handling units to align with occupancy hours. They also abandoned eight unnecessary exhaust fans, keeping cool air and heat trapped inside, depending on the time of the year.

ACES Library

Annual energy avoidance: 42% Retrocommissioned in 2008 ACES is a 24-hour facility, except during the summer. One of the retrocommissioning highlights is that the team programmed occupancy schedules to reduce fan systems while unoccupied.

Multiple projects aim to lower UI utility costs

Retrocommissioning reduces Material Sciences building energy usage BY AUSTIN KEATING STAFF WRITER

The Materials Science and Engineering Building is old and wasn’t really designed with saving energy in mind. Poorly insulated pipes, inefficient heating and cooling systems and a line of other problems have led to a yearly utility bill of about $350,000 — but a team housed in the building’s first floor aims to change that. The retrocommissioning team, headed by Facilities and Services employee for construction projects Guy Grant, is part of a project that has been in place for six and a half years. The team reviews and improves University buildings, and by the time they’re done with a building, they average a 27 percent reduction in utility costs, said Karl Helmink, associate director for Utilities and Energy Services. “We’ve had lists of buildings and the dollar amount of utilities per year they consumed,” Helmink said. “We’ve been working off the top of that list — the most energy intensive buildings off that list.” So far, they have retrocommissioned 50 buildings and avoided about $20 million in utility costs. The inefficiencies are apparent once a student enters MSEB’s front doors — starting off with the door itself. The space between the doors gapes open, letting heat escape in the winter and cold air escape in the summer. But that’s just one of the problems Grant’s team

pinpointed, a “low hanging fruit” that when fixed, will provide energy savings with little effort. His team primarily deals with heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, so one of the big energy savers his team has been working on is reducing heating and cooling in rooms that aren’t occupied during certain parts of the week — essentially letting temperatures fluctuate. “During occupied mode, instead of having a temperature range like this,” he said spreading his hands far away from each other. “It’s more like this,” he said inching his hands close together. The team has also renovated how the building cools air. Instead of recycling the building’s air and cooling it by chilled water whenever the building occupants need cold air, they set it up so that it brings in outside air when it can, what he called “free cooling.” “Why not use 40 degree outside air, mix it with the 75 degree return air and blend it?” he said. MSEB has a lot of labs. In each lab, there’s a fume hood that exhausts air to a fan that propels it outside at a rate of 3,000 feet per minute. But before it leaves the building, it goes through an energy recovery wheel the team installed that recovers the air’s heat. In addition to this, Grant’s team is bringing MSEB a temperature monitoring system that will let the maintenance worker know when something wrong happens. “Some of the stuff we wouldn’t know until some-

body in the building complains that it’s too hot or too cold. With monitor controls, we can set little temperature alarms in here that say ‘Hey, temperature’s too hot.’ It’ll send out an alarm and we can get out and fix it immediately,” Grant said. “Whenever you can monitor something, you have a better chance of addressing problems before it wastes a lot of energy,” he added. The retrocommissioning team doesn’t just deal with older buildings like the MSEB, the team has also tackled big energy users like the ACES library, which was constructed in the ’90s. Helmink said the retrocommissioning team was able to save 40 percent of the building’s annual energy usage. “We were able to ... modify the operation of the HVAC systems so we could save some significant amounts of energy when the library is closed,” he said. Steven Breitwieser, Facilities and Services media communication specialist, said one of the most important aspects of the project is the collaboration between workers that wouldn’t have been brought together before. “You’ve got guys who work on the control system, and you’ve got electricians, and you’ve got pipe fitters and you’ve got sheet metal workers,” he said. “All those guys are working together, dedicated in those facilities to make those upgrades.”

Urbana-Champaign Senate host first meeting of the 2014-2015 faculty senate BY MARYCATE MOST STAFF WRITER

Roy Campbell, Urbana-Champaign Senate Executive Committee Chair, stood in front of a room full of senators, and asked, “How many of you are in the senate for the first time?” A majority of the room raised its hands. This marked the first meeting of the 2014-2015 faculty senate, during which the new senate elected members to the Senate Executive Committee, the University Senates

Conference and Standing Committees of the Senate. During the meeting, the new senators were introduced to the standard senate procedures and were encouraged to participate actively in senate meetings over the next year. “I want to thank all of you for serving in the senate and tell you that this is the most important body on this campus,” Provost Ilesanmi Adesida said. “This is the fundamental basis for faculty governance.

to participate vigorously.” Adesida emphasized the importance of the faculty senate, underscoring the teaching, research, technology and student infrastructure that faculty support through their participation. “One of the objectives is this campus renewal,” Adesida said. “We need to distribute money, funds into buildings, classrooms... and into IT. We need to look at research infrastructure across all disciplines. I really believe that if we invest now, we will reap the

reward in terms of more funding and a better reputation in the future ... And we need to make sure there is a campus conversation with students.” Senators started off their participation in the governance system by electing LAS professor Joyce Tolliver to serve as the University Senates Conference representative on the Senate Executive Committee. The senate also unanimously approved the following faculty nominees: Education representa-

tive Nicholas Burbules, Applied Health Sciences representative Kim Graber, LAS representative Sally Jackson and LAS representative Carol Skalnik Leff to serve a three-year term on the University Senates Conference. Senate Parliamentarian George Friedman addressed the new senate to discuss parliamentary procedures, especially the way in which proposals may be amended, sent back to committee and postponed. “Parliamentary procedure is

designed to make things easier, not more difficult,” Friedman said. “These (procedures) are meant to clarify, rather than obscure.” Following Friedman’s discussion with the senate, the senate elected FAA representative David O’Brien, Business representative Mike Sandretto and Library representative Mary Mallory to serve on the Senate Executive Committee for next year.

More accurate data on sexual assault needed for prevention

Quick Commentary delivers bits of relevant and important issues on campus or elsewhere. We write it, rate it and stamp it. When something happens that we are not pleased with: DI Denied. When something happens that we like: Alma Approved.

‘T

he price of a college education should not include a 1-in5 chance of being sexually assaulted,� Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said. On a campus with more than 41,000 students, it is vitally important to promote an environment in which they feel safe and aware of their surroundings. To do this, we need more accurate accounts of crimes and incidents that go on around campus, so police and the University can work to adequately address these issues. Campus safety rules were recently revised due to the passage of the Clery Act. The act calls for colleges to expand their recording of campus crime information to include offenses such as domestic violence. Reporting crimes, specifically those involving sexual misconduct, is necessary for the overall safety and well-being of students at colleges and universities, particularly because of the overwhelming prevalence of these types of offenses. They occur far more often than we think. The effects of sexual violence and assault can extend beyond physical and mental impacts, proving to be harmful to all facets of the survivor’s life. By becoming aware of the real numbers associated with these kinds of crimes, the University can take accurate approaches to create both preventive and reactionary measures for sexual assault crimes, to help supplement programs such as FYCARE and services at the Women’s Resources Center. The importance of accurate reporting cannot be emphasized enough. During the 2012-2013 school year, The Daily Illini reported that sexual misconduct violations at the University increased 45.45 percent from previous years. But in 2012, only 12 sexual assaults were reported to University police. A couple of years prior, similar numbers were reported. This remains problematic on a campus with tens of thousands of students, where the reality of what goes on is underrepresented and diminished. However, reporting crimes of sexual assault or abuse may often be challenging for survivors, considering the number of assailants who are acquaintances of the survivors. As a result, it is imperative that the University and other colleges across the country determine effective measures to help promote a level of comfort in reporting these kinds of crimes. The University Police are still determining what safety measures will be put in place in the revised campus safety rules, and it is essential to consider the needs of sexual assault survivors so that the burden of responsibility does not rest on their shoulders. Universities should strive to reveal the true amount of campus crime and work toward addressing the needs of survivors in more meaningful, effective ways.

TATYANA MCFADDEN TAKES THE CAKE

GAY LEADERS IN BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

Illinois alumna and Paralympian athlete Tatyana McFadden broke tape again, winning yet another wheelchair race in Boston on Monday. McFadden finished the race in 1 hour, 35 minutes, 6 seconds — not that we’re surprised. McFadden won four races last year — taking titles in New York City, Boston, London and Chicago. But McFadden’s Monday win was especially important because it also marked her 25th birthday. We’re celebrating with you, Tatyana!

The Boy Scouts of America showed their true colors this week when they shut down a Seattle troop for refusing to remove an openly gay Scoutmaster. Though the Boy Scouts accept members who identify as gay, the same is not true of those in leadership positions — a decision that many would consider discriminatory and grounded in misinformation. As said by the executive director of Scouts for Equality, Zach Wahls, “Unfortunately, the BSA’s decision calls into question its commitment to leadership and values by perpetuating an outmoded policy rooted in fear and discrimination.�

Trips home help students with stress management REBECCA KAPOLNEK Opinions columnist

F

or most, college is a fresh start — a chance to assert independence and get away from the careful watch of mom and dad. When heading off for their first year of school, many college kids claim they won’t come back unless it is for Christmas or Thanksgiving break; but as the years pass and the stress hits, heading home for the weekend is a luxury every college student should take advantage of. And it’s one many of us do, judging by the ghost town that was our campus this past Easter weekend. I, along with a large number of other University students who celebrate the holiday, went home to spend some much needed time with our families before the stress of finals kicks in. I believe that all students who are able would benefit from taking some time off from the chaos of college life and heading home throughout the year to relieve stress and maintain family bonds. While I also understand that international students and students

from out of state cannot go home as easily, regular Skype sessions and phone calls could have a similar effect. When we enter college as freshmen, many of us are told by RAs, older friends and professors to stay on campus until Thanksgiving. They say staying on campus will help with feelings of homesickness and allow students to make more friends and memories. While I do agree that students should not go home every single weekend, I do not agree that students should feel like they can’t go home because they’ll suffer from the fear of missing out. Last Easter, I was not able to go home because I had multiple exams on the Monday following that weekend. While all of my friends packed their bags and went to spend time with their families, I was forced to sit in my sorority house alone, studying and wishing I was at our annual family Easter party. Looking back, I regret making the decision to give up family time to stay in Champaign. While it would have been difficult to get in both quality studying and family time all during that one weekend, I could have started my studying earlier and avoided the issue. But other weekends also have

value. I have always been notorious for going home on random weekends throughout the year, and I can confidently say it has helped with my stress management. When students are feeling overwhelmed, a trip to their hometown, complete with sleeping in their own bed, eating their mom’s homemade lasagna, not having to wear flip flops in the shower and bonding with their siblings should be enough to reinstate a sense of peace in their lives. Being in a familiar environment surrounded by loved ones should remind students that there are more important things in life than the latest campus drama, getting a C on a Spanish test and being dumped by that person you were kind-of-sort-of seeing. For me, going home puts things in perspective. The University and freshman seminar classes need to do a better job of squashing the idea that going home on random weekends throughout the year is the reason some students have social issues in college. Though this is a misconception held by many, I’ve found that it’s untrue. There will always be another party, event or game on another weekend. If we made our decisions on when we

went home based on if there is something we should miss out on that weekend on campus, we would never ever go home. There is always a choice and a sacrifice to be made. But, in the end, I believe missing one of the 50 parties or one of the many sporting events that happen every semester is worth all of the relaxation one gains from heading home for the weekend. After spending time with family I haven’t seen in months and taking a trip to my favorite local Mexican restaurant, I feel more than ready to take my finals this semester. There should not be any shame in going home for a weekend while in college. College is an extremely stressful four years for young adults, and we should strive to do anything we can to eliminate unnecessary stress in our lives. So if you are contemplating whether or not to go see your mom who has been calling you nonstop asking when you will be back, consider taking the time to make a visit. There is no better way to rejuvenate a person than the familiar taste of home. Home really is where the heart is.

Earth Day shouldn’t be the only time we care about Earth THADDEUS CHATTO Opinions columnist

E

very year as April rolls along, I can’t help but think of Captain Planet. When I was a child, I used to frequently watch the show “Captain Planet and the Planeteers.� The cartoon series is about five individuals, dubbed the Planeteers. With magic rings, the characters are tasked to defend the Earth from disasters that threaten the planet and help educate mankind to keep more disasters from happening. When the Planeteers can’t stop the disaster on their own, they can use the five rings to summon the ultimate hero of the environment, Captain Planet. The show was created to influence kids to start thinking about the environment. It’s up to us to make sure that planet Earth is safe from mankind’s pollution and waste. Beginning in 1970, the United States has celebrated Earth Day on April 22. The holiday’s purpose is to educate the public about environmental issues. Today, the holiday is commonly celebrated for a week and events are centered on green awareness. One day of environmental awareness is good, and a week is even better. But it would be best to raise awareness of issues concerning the

environment all year long. Issues include climate change, alternatives to fossil fuels, “greener� living and many more. It’s about time we celebrate Earth Day not just once, but every day of the year. By giving the Earth just one day to celebrate, it’s as if we are only paying attention to the importance of the environment one day of the year. Making sure the planet is healthy is something we should be striving to ensure and celebrate for more than just a day or week. It’s critical for college students to become involved because we are the future. The reason Earth Day was held on April 22 was to include as many college students as possible to hear about environmental issues and help transform their attitudes. In doing so, the support of many college students across the nation helped bring attention to environmental issues on the very first Earth Day. Celebrating Earth for an entire week is essential for the idea of Earth Day because it engages many college students with the idea of living a lifestyle that is better suited for the health of the environment. And dedicating a whole week will give Mother Earth a special time of the year. For example, the University has several events taking place this week in honor of Mother Earth. Events include activities in which students can learn how to create

environmental friendly supplies, seminars focused on how to promote sustainability, and speeches from individuals promoting a more ecological lifestyle. It’s great that we have a week full of special activities focused on the environment, but we should be conscious of these topics throughout the year. Recently, six University residence halls took part in a three-week competition called the Eco-Olympics. The point of the contest was to help conserve water and energy use on campus and teach good living habits. Instead of just having this as a three-week competition, University housing should have had this plan implemented from the beginning of the school year. As much as I am picking on the University to expand the awareness of Earth Day year around, I must admit that this school would make Captain Planet proud. When I started my freshman year. I was unaware that the University was one of the greenest campuses in the nation. The University’s sustainability initiatives have been named one of the best in the country. This year, the University has been on the Princeton’s Review Green Honor Roll for the second year in a row, making it “one of only 22 colleges to earn a perfect score of 99 and the only Big Ten school to make this list.� The University serves as a prime example of an organization practicing and constantly raising aware-

ness of the environment. While reminiscing about the show, I now realize Captain Planet looked ridiculous, especially with that grass-green mullet. However, the message of the show is clear and still relevant today: The power to save the planet is ours. I’m pretty sure Captain Planet said that in every episode, but he was totally right. The power to ensure the sustainability of Earth is truly up to us. Our actions (or lack thereof) will dictate the future of the planet. What I also enjoyed about the show was that the five Planeteers were from all over the globe. For example, one person was from North America, another from Asia, etc. This symbolizes that the power to be eco-friendly is in all of us across the world, and not just us college students in Illinois. Unfortunately for us, we don’t have a Captain Planet to rely on when disasters or pollutions get out of hand. It’s up to us to be the Planeteers — minus the magic rings. Being conscientious about the well-being of the environment all year long could really make us feel like we are part of something bigger. We can take the passion and education that occurs on Earth Day, and make sure it is heard all the time.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Faculty voices ignored in Illinois’ pension crisis Faculty are already dismayed by pension reform legislation that is likely to prompt a brain-drain come summer. Chris Kennedy’s remarks about how faculty ought to take action add bewilderment to dismay. Why are faculty not “up in arms, walking out of the classroom protesting?� That’s only a step one takes with the

protection of a union. Public employee unions throughout Illinois have been diligently battling to bring their pension concerns to the attention of Springfield for years. But faculty efforts to have their voices heard in that way have been consistently stymied by the University administration, which has spent taxpayer money taking the

UIC United Faculty to court rather than supporting faculty efforts to be heard. We have been assured that faculty don’t need a union — that the shared governance structure, with a strong Board of Trustees at the helm, will protect our interests. So which is it, Mr. Kennedy? If the Board of Trustees can

no longer protect the academic integrity of a world-class institution by protecting our pensions, then it’s time for it to lend its support to the existing faculty union at the Chicago campus and the creation of one here on the Urbana campus.

‘Reverse culture shock’ affects growing international population BY STEPHANIE KIM STAFF WRITER

They make up 21 percent of the University’s student body, represent 115 countries from around the world and help make the University the most diverse public university in the Big Ten. They are the 8,850 international students on campus. On Tuesday, the Asian American Cultural Center aims to change the usual conversation on international students from statistics to personal stories. The AACC will host a workshop from 6-7:30 p.m. to discuss the adjustment from American culture to life at home — otherwise known as “reverse culture shock.� “They may go home, and friends and family may not know this new person,� said Mai-Lin Poon, assistant director of the AACC. “They may hear you on the phone and see you through Skype, but it’s different when it’s face-to-face with that person for the first time.� Jessica Biddle, assistant director of International Student and Scholar Services, said culture shock is an important topic that usually goes unmentioned. “We don’t talk about what it’s like to go home again; we talk about culture shock and adjusting to (the) U.S.,� Biddle said. “But a lot of times, it’s not brought up about how difficult it is to go back home now that

you’ve had this international experience.� Poon and Biddle will co-lead the workshop, “Americanization and Reverse Culture Shock.� The workshop is part of the InterConnect series, which focuses on different aspects of American culture as well as exposure to University resources, according to Biddle. The night will begin with a brief overview of the two concepts followed by an interactive dialogue between a panel of five international students and the attendees of the workshop. “It’s creating safety and support, to empower people and to share stories and experience because there’s value in them,� Poon said. While this workshop will be the first of its kind, it aims to resolve an issue many international students may have had to wrestle with for decades. Since 1967, the first year accounted for in the records of the Division of Management Information, international students have had a growing presence on campus — particularly students from Asian countries. At the start of the spring semester, enrollment reports of the University showed that 21 percent of the total on-campus student population was international. “(Asian countries) have always

been a large percentage of the foreign student total, and that percentage has been increasing in recent years,� said Elizabeth Stern, DMI associate director. From 1967 to 2014, the percentage of Asian international students of the total international student population has grown from 58 percent to approximately 89 percent, Overall, the entire international student population has grown from 1,108 students in 1967 to 8,850 students in spring 2014. The workshop seeks to address this growing number and the possible hardships international students face while adjusting to life both on and off campus. “How do you handle change when there’s a fixed idea of home?� Poon said. “It’s not a quick fix but information. You learn best from talking to others.� While the event is advertised to international students, domestic students are welcomed to come and are even encouraged to attend. “Especially with a topic like this, it can be useful for anybody,� Biddle said. “It’s that idea of you realizing that you’ve changed and people not realizing that you’ve changed.�

BIDDER 70 es: making a false statement and violating the Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act. After nine delays in trial and two years, DeChristopher was found guilty on both counts and sentenced to two years in federal prison in 2011. The documentary “Bidder 70� was released in 2012 and not only features the story of DeChristopher and his protests of the auction, but also highlights some of today’s environmental concerns, such as the atmosphere’s carbon dioxide rates, which currently stand at 400 parts per million as compared to the normal 350 parts per million, according to the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. Bullfrog Films cofounder John Hoskyns-Abrahall, the film distributor that worked with SECS to arrange a showing of “Bidder 70,� said his company caters to all groups but finds success with high school and college audiences.

12 BIDS PROTEST OF

PHOTO COURTESY OF BETH GAGE

Documentarian Tim DeChristopher, who began his environmental activism while a student at the University of Utah, protested a Bureau of Land Management auction in 2008. The registered student organization Students for Environmental Concerns will host a screening of his film, “Bidder 70,� which captures his protest of the auction, during which he bid up to $2 million on several parcels of land in Utah.

SECS will celebrate Earth Day Week by screening DeChristopher’s environmental documentary ‘Bidder 70’ BY BRIDGET HYNES STAFF WRITER

Tim DeChristopher was a 27-year-old college student at the University of Utah in 2008 when he disrupted a federal auction under the Bush administration. According to the documentary detailing this event, the auction aimed to sell oil- and gas-drilling rights to under 150,000 acres of Utah wilderness, including areas near Arches National Park. DeChristopher originally went to the auction to protest it, yet, upon arriving, he was asked whether he was a bidder. He said yes and proceeded to win 12 bids in a row for parcels worth more than $2 million. Before anyone learned of who he really was, DeChristopher had already won so many bids and pushed up the prices of others during the auction that the entire event had to be canceled. “We’ve always been told that things are just beyond our control and that corporations have all the power, and we don’t

often get reminded that we’re citizens of what was once the greatest democracy on the planet. And that we’re human beings with the power to inspire others with our actions,� said DeChristopher in the documentary about his protest: “Bidder 70.� On Tuesday, Students for Environmental Concerns, a registered student organization, will hope to spread DeChristopher’s message of environmental protection by hosting an outdoor showing of “Bidder 70.� The showing will be on the Quad near Anniversary Plaza at 8 p.m. as part of SECS’ Earth Day Week initiative. If it rains, the group plans to have the showing at the University YMCA on Wright Street in Champaign. Michaele Strauch, project chair of Earth Week for SECS, said the group always tries to show at least one environmental movie during Earth Week. Strauch said the organization thought this movie in particular would resonate with students because DeChristopher was

a college student at the time of his protest. “We are here for four short years. The best thing to do while we’re here on campus is to get involved in something, whether it’s an RSO on campus, environmental or not,� Strauch said. “Getting involved is the way to realize how your individual changes can make a bigger difference.� By the time 30 days had passed after the auction — the mandated time period between a canceled auction and the new auction — the Obama administration had taken office. The new Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar found the auction to have broken rules set by the Bureau of Land Management, the auction’s host. The rules involved the legality of auctioning off public land for energy purposes without thinking about the impact it would have on the environment. However, DeChristopher was still indicted by the federal government on two charg-

BOSTON STRONG

Alumna McFadden wins her 2nd major marathon this year

U

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

niversity alumna Tatyana McFadden won the Boston Marathon’s women’s wheelchair division on Monday, her 25th birthday. The win comes eight days after McFadden won the London Marathon. McFadden is halfway to her goal of sweeping the four major marathons — London, Boston, Chicago and New York — for the second year in a row. McFadden achieved that feat in 2013 and is the only person who has swept all four major marathons in a single year. This year’s Chicago and New York marathons take place in October and November, respectively. In the interlude, McFadden won a silver medal at the winter Paralympics in skiing. She has won 10 marathons and 11 Paralympic medals, including three gold. She won Monday’s marathon by more than two minutes.

American Meb Keflezighi won the men’s title in the marathon, kissing the ground and weeping after he crossed the finish line to the roar of the joyous crowd. It’s the first time an American has won the race since 1983, when Greg Meyer captured the laurel wreath. Keflezighi, from San Diego, finished in 2 hours, 08:37 seconds as crowds along Boylston Street chanted “USA!

I’m so lucky to be the champion. “It’s not about me,� he continued. “It’s Boston Strong. Meb Strong.� The 38-year-old elite runner said he had vowed to win the race after the Red Sox won the World Series last fall and the trophy was brought to the Boylston Street finish line by outfielder Jonny Gomes.

Eastern Illinois coming to town Tuesday will be the first of two opportunities for Illinois baseball to shore up its defense before facing Big Ten-leading Indiana this weekend. Illinois swept Penn State in a three-game road series last weekend to continue its best Big Ten start in Dan Hartleb’s nine years as head coach (9-3). A pair of errors in each game cost the Illini two unearned runs in the series, which could cause issues this weekend against Indiana. “We need to clean up a few things this week, from a defensive standpoint,� Hartleb said. With Monday serving as the team’s off-day, Illinois will take on Eastern Illinois at home Tuesday night. Panthers junior Caleb Howell will give the Illini defense its biggest challenge, batting .407 on the season and ranking him as high as fifth in the country. Howell’s 61 hits this season are 10 more than any Illini hitter, while his .480 on-base percentage makes him a formidable scoring threat. Illini third baseman Ryne Roper provides his team with dual-threat capabilities, though, having been named Big Ten Freshman of the Week for his performance against Penn State. Roper led the Illini offensively over the weekend, batting 5-for-12 with three runs and three RBIs. His perfect fielding percentage also contributed four assists and three putouts. Illinois’ biggest defensive concern comes from shortstop

Adam Walton, who committed three errors in the series — two throwing, one fielding. However, Walton also helped turn the game-ending double play in Sunday’s series finale. “It’s just about consistency,� Hartleb said. “You need to do things well in all three aspects to win.� The offensive numbers improved greatly over the weekend after a low-scoring effort last Tuesday against Illinois State.

“It’s just about consistency. You need to do things well in all three aspects to win.� DAN HARTLEB HEAD COACH

Meanwhile, the Illini pitching staff hasn’t struggled much since its first week. In fact, five games in the next six days is exactly what pitching coach Drew Dickinson wants for his staff. “The more you play, the better you are as a team,� he said. “When you play Friday through Sunday and then have to wait five days to play again, it’s tough.� Starting six different pitchers so far in the season has given the Illini some flexibility in terms of matchups — even more so with nine pitchers throwing more than 15 innings.

POINT-COUNTERPOINT WILL THE MIAMI HEAT THREE-PEAT AS NBA CHAMPIONS? Hopeful fans cannot expect three-peat from Miami Heat with Big Three’s deterioration BRETT LERNER Staff writer

In

July 2010, the city of Miami was introduced to the new “Big Three,� as Dwyane Wade welcomed in his new teammates LeBron James and Chris Bosh. James had recently announced that he was “taking his talents to South Beach� and Bosh had decided to play the third wheel on the NBA’s new super-team. At the huge introduction event, James declared the Heat would go on to win multiples championships, and I’m not talking about two or three or even seven. To date, the Heat have appeared in three straight NBA Finals and have captured the past two NBA titles. Although James exclaimed that the Heat would win more than just two titles four years ago, the trio might have to settle. The Heat very well could dominate the rest of the Eastern Conference in this year’s playoffs, but they will not be hoisting the Larry O’Brien Trophy for a third consecutive year.

Miami Heat, LeBron should breeze through NBA playoffs to 3rd straight championship

The Big Three the Heat assembled are quickly deteriorating and becoming the Big One, a situation James knows all too well. old, Wade’s knees seem like they’re closer to 50 in Wade’s 10th NBA season. Although he statistically played well in his appearances this season, Wade only played in 54 of the Heat’s 82 games this season. Wade’s season average of 19 points per game, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists could be good enough to get the Heat to their fourth straight finals appearance, but it simply doesn’t seem like his knees will carry him all the way through the Finals, which are estimated to begin on

LeBron James and the Miami Heat began the quest for their third straight NBA championship on Sunday against the Charlotte Bobcats when they took Game 1.

eBron James became one of America’s most hated professional athletes after publicly announcing he was “taking his talents to South Beach� in the summer of 2010. The Big Three of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh had a first season that didn’t go as planned. The Heat were defeated by the Dallas Mavericks four games to two in the 2011 NBA Finals. James only averaged 17.8 points per game during that series, but his fourth quarter woes were the cause of considerable negative attention. Fast forward to today, and the Heat have earned a trip to the NBA Finals in every year of the Big Three era, and have come away with a championship in the last two years. Four-time MVP LeBron James played with a chip on his shoulder during the 2012 NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He averaged 28.6 points per game in that series to go along with 7.4 assists and 10.2 rebounds. Let those numbers sink in for a

moment. Last year James’ scoring decreased in the playoffs to 25.3 ppg, but he had better role players around him, such as Ray Allen and Chris “Birdman� Andersen. Although it’s

Fast forward to today, and the Heat have earned a trip to the NBA Finals in every year of the Big Three era. weird to call future Hall-ofFamer Ray Allen a role player, his jaw-dropping three-pointer with 6.7 seconds left in Game 6 against the San Antonio Spurs single-handedly changed the Finals. Birdman’s role isn’t to score; he defines a perfect hustle player and someone to crash the boards, given that this Miami Heat team lacks height. The other two members of the Big Three haven’t been left out of the Heat’s success. Bosh has become more implemented in the offense, after not getting as many touches back when they lost to the Mavs in 2011. I

Softball to take on NU on Tuesday

Success for Illinois men’s tennis should not surprise its fans ALEX ROUX

BY DANIEL DEXTER

Illini columnist

STAFF WRITER

After struggling with it in recent games, the Illinois softball team (19-21, 3-12 Big Ten) focused on fielding at practice in order to avoid committing errors. The hard work paid off, as the Illini defense didn’t record a single error during its weekend series against Purdue (24-21-1, 11-4). The team committed seven errors in its series against Wisconsin the previous weekend, and another four in its loss to DePaul last Wednesday. Head coach Terri Sullivan was not accustomed to seeing the team commit so many errors, and she is confident the team won’t experience similar issues again moving forward. “We have a very solid defense,� Sullivan said. “It was uncharacteristic of us, those few games where we did have those errors. We had a chance to get back out there, and we knew what we were capable of doing.�

Illini close out one-run game Another issue the Illini have been dealing with in recent games is their ability to close out games with tight scores. The Illini had the lead going into the late

The team also wasn’t able to generate enough runs to get past Purdue’s one-run lead in the second game over the weekend . In the third game, Illinois demonstrated it is capable of holding onto the lead, as it held off the Boilermakers in the late innings to grab a 3-2 victory in the series fi nale. “We just had to focus throughout the fi nal innings especially,� Kylie Johnson said. “We kept chipping away. “Even though we didn’t score after we got the three runs, we were still very solid with our defense and putting the ball in play. We were a little bit tougher mentally today than the DePaul game.�

The Illini face Northwestern in midweek doubleheader The softball team won’t have much time to rest before taking the field again against Northwestern (27-11, 9-6) at home on Tuesday. The team will be looking to build some momentum going into the Big Ten tournament, after finishing the Purdue series with a win. The Wildcats are coming off of a three-game sweep of Indiana at home, but the Illini are eager to play more games after ending their eight-game losing streak against Purdue in the series finale. “It was a must-win,� Sullivan said. “They had to get one to get back on track, and I know they will be looking forward challenging week ahead with great opportunity to build momentum.�

Liverpool, soccer deserve attention from American fans PETER BAILEY-WELLS Assistant sports editor

A

pril is an exciting time in sports. Baseball is back, the NBA and NHL playoffs are heating up, and the NFL draft is fast approaching. It wouldn’t be April without a full sports calendar. Unfortunately, there is something that is often left off of that calendar. American fans have a unique ability to ignore the world’s favorite sport: soccer. The original football often gets thrown under the bus by American fans because our domestic league is relatively poor in terms of talent. But this year, there is a team across the pond that is worth paying attention to, despite the dis-

tance separating it from the U.S. The English football club Liverpool is currently sitting fi rst in the standings of the Barclay’s Premier League, with just three matches to go. Led by forward Luis Suarez, the team is primed to eclipse Chelsea’s goal record by a single club in a Premier League campaign. Liverpool stands at 96 goals after 35 matches, behind Chelsea’s record of 103. OK so they score a lot, so what? I still like watching hockey and football better, because those guys kick the crap out of each other while they’re playing. Well for one thing, Suarez’s 30 goals is more goals than two other Premier League teams. Two more goals, and he’ll have sole possession of the EPL record for most goals in a season. Combine Suarez’s 30 goals and fellow forward Dan-

iel Sturridge’s 20 goals (second place in the EPL), and the pair have outscored 12 teams, more than half of the teams in the EPL. Oh yeah, and this team hasn’t lost a league game since before the New Year. The last time Liverpool lost an EPL match was Dec. 29 against Chelsea, 2-1. Since then, the team has recorded 16 wins and two draws, a winning streak that has catapulted them to the top of the standings. Take the Miami Heat’s 27-game win streak in the 2013 regular season, and imagine if instead of dropping two games to the Bulls and Knicks they had continued their win streak through the end of the season. Liverpool hasn’t lost a game for the entire second half of the season. You may not have known it, American sports fans, but this is the highest scoring team in

the history of the most important domestic league in soccer, which is a pretty big deal. Peyton Manning’s offensive success with the Denver Broncos this season drew remarkable attention and significant praise. Liverpool is imitating that success this season and has garnered scarce attention in the U.S. Soccer may not get much love or respect from American sports fans, but this is a watchable team for an American audience with a short attention span. As of this year, the entire season of the EPL is available on NBC and NBCSN, so American fans have no excuse as to why they haven’t been watching Liverpool’s record-setting run.

ustained success is the status quo for Illinois men’s tennis. The Big Ten tournament begins this Thursday at Michigan State, and the Illini will compete as a sizzling No. 2 seed. They’ve won seven matches in a row to bring their final regular season record to 20-7, which complements a conference record of 9-2. They trail only perennial tennis juggernaut and nationally No. 1 ranked Ohio State in the Big Ten Standings. Head coach Brad Dancer has quietly constructed another strong roster that could be a force in the postseason. His team hasn’t necessarily grabbed headlines or garnered widespread attention, but the Illini are once again getting the job done in Dancer’s ninth season at the helm. It’s okay to be impressed, but you shouldn’t be surprised. The Illini have enjoyed success for nearly two decades straight on the tennis court, highlighted by winning the National Championship in 2003. Under Dancer, the Illini have maintained a streak of 18 straight NCAA tournament appearances, and should coast to their 19th consecutive appearance regardless of how they do in the Big Ten tournament. Last season, Illinois hosted the NCAA Championships on its home court in Urbana. The Illini failed to qualify, bowing out in the Second Round of the NCAA tournament. It was only the second time in 12 years that the Illini did not reach the Sweet 16. While it was considered a disappointment that they were unable to qualify for the Round of 16, think about what that says about the state of the program as a whole. In this era of Illinois tennis, the NCAA tournament is more an expec-

tation than a privilege. When compared to some other sports at Illinois, men’s tennis is a powerhouse. A winning record is essentially a given. I would love for the Illinois basketball program to get to a similar level. At this point, a “down year� in Illinois tennis would be considered a successful season in basketball if the overall team record and accomplishments were translated to the hoops program. Heading into the postseason, the Illini sit at No. 10 in the country. Year after year, the Illini pop up in the national rankings that are normally loaded with southern and warm-weather schools. This season has been no different, as they peaked in the rankings at No. 6 in mid-March. Dancer’s 2014 Illini team has been fueled in part by sophomore Jared Hiltzik, who made it to the Round of 32 in the NCAA singles tournament last year as a freshman. The 2013 Big Ten Freshman of the Year’s 27-9 overall record has complemented the strides made by juniors Farris Gosea and Tim Kopinski, who racked up 33 and 31 wins this year, respectively. The lineup has nicely taken shape with a mix of youth and experience, and looks to be solid for the end of this season and through the next. The roster features no seniors, and the experience that Dancer’s young squad gained these last two seasons should pay off. Can Dancer’s squad make the leap and become elite? We’ll have to see. The roster next season will be loaded with upperclassmen who will have lots of postseason experience. But regardless of how the Illini fare this postseason, you should feel confident about the future. If recent history has told us one thing, it’s that Illinois tennis will be good again next year.

Illini baseball stops by to chat with Illini Drive

Blackhawks win Game 3 of series against Blues

Walton, Krug and Castellanos discuss road wins, traveling and recent pitching injuries DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Editor’s note: The following is a partial transcript from WPGU’s sports talk show Illini Drive interview with Illinois baseball players Adam Walton, Will Krug and Ryan Castellanos. Illini Drive: Without further ado, we’ve got the guys from the baseball team here, and they came in from a luxurious flight out of Penn State. Tell us about that, getting back from Penn State. There’s no direct route to get from Happy Valley to anywhere, so how was that flight, trying to get back? Adam Walton: It was interesting. We went from Happy Valley to Philadelphia, and we had our own flight. It was the 35 guys on the team that traveled and the coaches. ID: Was there a lot of space on that flight? AW: No, it was a small little propeller plane. Will Krug: I don’t think it was chartered. I just think it was full. Ryan Castellanos: It was a compact flight. Every seat was taken, I believe, and it was the entire baseball team, so that was pretty cool. AW: We had 45 minutes to an hour of layover in Philadelphia, and then we flew into Indianapolis, and then took a bus to Champaign.

RC: We felt OK because we have a lot of experience on this staff. It’s a young staff. We have one senior: Ronnie Muck. We have a lot of games, a lot of innings between us — we have regional experience. So we felt good and we felt confident. Of course, we want Kevin back as soon as possible, but we felt confident with the guys we have out there.

RC: Coaching. Mindset. We believe in each other whether or not we have our ace out there. Last year we went through the same thing. Kevin Johnson went down toward later in the season, and we had guys step up. Same thing happened this year. And when Kevin gets back, I can’t wait to see what we can do out on the field.

FROM 1B

POINT June 5. With what we’ve seen from Wade so far this season, it seems unreasonable to believe that he’ll last through the postseason. Wade’s health leads to bigger problems for the Heat because without him, the Heat are lacking a second scorer to support James. Bosh, the third member of the Big Three, is only one step above a role player, averaging 16.6 points per game and 6.6 rebounds this season. There’s no doubt the Heat will need those 17 points every night in the playoffs, but it’s hard to see Bosh regularly stepping up and scoring 25 to win the Heat a playoff game. With doubts about Wade’s health and Bosh’s third wheel status, the role players seem to be the Heat’s last hope to complete a three-peat, and the roster is thinner than ever. The one knock on the Heat in recent years has been their bench production, but they have seen huge moments from their bench players in past playoff runs. This year’s team no longer has Mike Miller, who hit big shots in last year’s playoffs. The Heat also don’t have Joel Anthony any longer, which gives them even

BASEBALL Even without No. 1 starter Kevin Duchene, the Illini pitching staff won 14 of its last 19 matchups, including two Big Ten sweeps. Closer Tyler Jay leads the bullpen with two wins and five saves. His 1.78 ERA also leads the team’s active pitchers, second only to the injured Duchene’s 1.70 ERA. “Barring injuries, (Jay) will be here next year, and that’ll be it,� Dickinson said. “He’s a guy who could be in the big leagues at the end of next year.�

less depth in the front-court, a spot where they’ve always been relatively weak. The Heat came into this year’s postseason with a 13-14 record in the season’s last two months and with lingering questions about where their production will come from. It’s hard to put too much emphasis on the NBA regular season, but such a prolonged lull could harm the Heat heading into the playoffs, especially considering opponents they could face if they reach the finals again. The Western Conference is stronger than ever this season. Whoever fights their way through the West will not only be battle-tested, but they’ll undoubtedly have a full head of steam and momentum as they roll into the Finals. The Heat won’t be able to be the fi rst NBA team to three-peat since the early 2000s Lakers because LeBron simply can’t do it alone, which it looks like he’ll have to. We watched this movie over and over again when the four-time MVP was in Cleveland, and his worst nightmares might be resurfacing heading into this year’s playoffs.

COUNTERPOINT can’t possibly forget about the backbone of this team, 2006 Finals MVP Dwyane Wade. He has been playing like the Wade everyone fell in love with before he suffered a string of injuries. With a mastermind like Pat Riley running the front office, having the best player in the league in LeBron James and with Wade playing at a high level, there’s no doubt in my mind that this team will repeat as NBA champions.

There’s no doubt in my mind that this team will repeat as NBA champions. Transition points are huge for this team to make up for its lack of size. So is the success of shooters like Mario Chalmers and Shane Battier, who spread the floor, making it easier to obtain those easy rebounds and run the fast break. This year’s team also consists of another big body presence in Greg Oden. Although he’s not the Ohio State phenom that he once was, his role on this team can be huge moving forward. The rest of the Eastern Conference is a joke this year. There was plenty of hype surrounding home court advantage for the Indiana Pacers, but it ended up being meaningless in Game 1 on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks, as Indiana lost 101-93. While Joakim Noah is having an MVP-like season, the Bulls can’t make serious noise without Derrick Rose, and overall Chicago doesn’t have enough offensive firepower. The Brooklyn Nets are the only potential threat in the East, but there’s no telling when their veteran players’ fuel gauge is going to hit E. Miami came out flat during the

Brett can be reached at blerner2@ dailyillini.com and @Blerner10. Eastern Illinois’ 5.91 team ERA doesn’t pose much difficulty for the Illini at the plate, either. Still, Tuesday’s game is another game that factors into RPI for the postseason, which means Hartleb fully expects his team to bring its full effort to the field — even if it serves as more of a tune-up for this weekend’s series with Indiana. “Everybody needs to just continue to stay focused,� Hartleb said. “We’ve got half the Big Ten season to go, and we need to continue to play at a high level.�

Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh, right goes to the basket against Charlotte Bobcats defender Josh McRoberts in the second quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Eastern Conference quarterfinals at the American Airlines Arena in Miami on Sunday. first quarter in Game One on Sunday against the Charlotte Bobcats, but heated up in the second half. The Big Three combined for 63 of the team’s 99 points, but what was an even bigger story was James Jones contributing whenever he was on the floor. His job is quite simple, considering he’s open all of the time because most of the attention being focused on James and Wade. He capitalized on that Sunday, scoring 12 points. The key for Miami’s three-peat will be consistency from the role players. Mike Miller was that guy last year, and without him, this year needs to be a collective effort. One game it can be an offensive rebound from a Udonis Haslem, or a wideopen three from a Norris Cole. Nowa-

days, 30 years of age is the new “old� for the NBA, and many people say that Wade needs to retire. When you make the biggest sacrifice by setting your ego aside for the greater good of the team, you become a true leader. This era of basketball is not as physical as the ’90s, and you can’t win by yourself anymore. Kobe Bryant had Shaquille O’Neal, Michael Jordan had Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. The list goes on. While James is clearly the best player on the team, he can’t win another ring without the re-emergence of Wade.
