espite being warned by her brother, Jennifer met up with a guy two years older than her. He had a reputation as a jock whose friend circle included “the douchebags.” “My brother didn’t like him, but he’s really cute, so of course I hung out with him,” she said. They started to mess around in his car, and he wanted to go further — further than Jennifer wanted. “He held me down, and I couldn’t really move, and I was in shock,” she said. He took her virginity. She put her feet on his chest, shoved him to the other side of the car and yelled at him to drive her home. When she got there, she got out of his car, crying hysterically, as she sat on her front stoop. “I didn’t want to go inside and face my family, and I was bleeding a lot, and I didn’t know what to do or what to tell my mom because she did my laundry,” she said. “It was probably the worst night of my life.” Jennifer stayed in for the next few weeks but got bombarded with harassing texts from him, one of which read, “You got blood on my shorts, you have to pay for it.” She lied to her mom about what happened, saying he went further than she wanted and caused her to bleed, but she never said she was raped.

Sexual assault a nongendered crime Rick Stejskal, FYCARE instructor and graduate student, works at the Women’s Resources Center because he was sexually assaulted during his childhood. Someday, he wants to be a victim specialist for the FBI in human trafficking. “A lot of people don’t realize that there are male victims of sexual assault, and that’s really important because people teach that it’s a nongendered crime,” he said. “A lot of people ask me, ‘Well, how are you comfortable with saying that so easily? That you were sexually assaulted?’ And it’s just because I don’t let that define me.” Only two of the 35 sexual assault reports in the last three years regard men as survivors. In some cases, men are sexually assaulted but do not identify it as an assault, although they will display the same side effects that a female would after being assaulted, Stejskal said. FYCARE coordinators have taken strides to make the workshop more gender inclusive for men, women and those who don’t identify with either gender, said Molly McLay, assistant director of the Women’s Resources Center.

News 3A

Jennifer’s assault took place the summer before she came to college, so knowing she would soon be far away from him helped, as did meeting better guys. She never reported her assault and does not regret her decision. She said there

are many privacy issues that come with reporting an attack, and she doesn’t think women feel comfortable coming forward, especially when police may turn to victim-blaming. “Part of my reason for not reporting was I didn’t want

When the police are notified that someone has been sexually assaulted, there are three options: the assault can be reported, investigated and followed through for prosecution; the assault can be solely documented for possible future use; or if the assault was reported by someone other than the victim, the victim can choose not to talk to police at all. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or Clery Act, is a federal mandate requiring all colleges and universities that participate in the federal student financial aid program to disclose crime information on campus and in surrounding communities. The Clery Act requires that all known assaults be included in the Annual Security Report crime statistics whether or not the victim wants to move forward with the investigation, said Lt. Tony Brown of the support services bureau of the University police department. If a survivor does not want to make a police report, Un iversi ty police complete

a Campus Security Authority report, and the assault is included in the statistics found in the Annual Security Report. On campus, there are close to 1,000 identified Campus Security Authorities, or CSA, who can contribute to the Clery Act even if there is no investigation, Brown said. A CSA is a campus police officer, security official or other official with student responsibility. CSAs are provided with information to determine if and when a crime should be reported to the security report and are required to complete formal training. According to the, the reason behind incorporating CSAs is that students may be more inclined to report crime to nonlaw enforcement personnel. Although Title IX is often associated with equality in sports, the law is very broad, saying schools cannot discriminate based on gender. Title IX is a “comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity,” according to the Department of Justice.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Plan multiple routes to adventure this year. Revise writing, make repairs, and reconsider feelings before presenting. Past issues can resolve easily.

Visualize future fun, and share possibilities with the ideal partners. Something you’re expecting may not be available. Evaluate resources.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Today is a 5 — Your spiritual practices clear your mind. Dreams and visions make sense. Allow yourself some poetic license. You don’t have to be able to explain everything. Investigate a fascinating subject, and get inspired. Home holds your focus today and tomorrow. Handle chores and plan a luxurious evening.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Today is a 5 — Financial planning is more fun with another today and tomorrow. Your partner’s vision inspires. Figure the costs to make it happen. Be on time. Have faith.

An old dream comes true. Don’t squander savings on a splurge. Some of your rewards are intangible, but still valuable. Count your blessings.

DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD Under Title IX requirements, the University is required to follow up and do an independent investigation of all sexual violence that occurs on campus, Brown said. “We try to empower the victim as much as possible in the circumstances and follow their wishes on how we investigate sexual assault,” Brown said. “Then we always give them the resources that are available both on campus and in the community.” Though many resources are available, Jennifer said the issue of privacy can make them ineffective. “Rape kits are very invasive, and I know they have to be to get the correct DNA, but it has to be done in a caring way that will make women and men feel more comfortable and less embarrassed,” she said. *** On April 4, 2011, the Office for Civil Rights through the U.S. Department of Education issued a “Dear Colleague Letter” to address the issue of sexual violence on college campuses. A Dear Colleague Letter is a guidance letter used to help institutions interpret the law, said Kaamilyah Abdullah-Span, assistant director for the Office of Access, Diversity and Equity at the University. The letter states that colleges and universities are not doing enough to address the issue of sexual misconduct. AbdullahSpan said assaults occur too frequently, and cases are not handled in the spirit of Title IX. The letter states that schools are required to take immediate action to eliminate the harass-

ment, address its effects and “conduct an investigation that is thorough and that is impartial and that is immediate,” Abdullah-Span said. She added that the letter was issued to “make sure that colleges and universities are taking reports of sexual misconduct seriously and not minimizing sexual misconduct.” By doing so, survivors are not further victimized by the institution’s inaction after the incident is reported. “It’s critical for the community to know that if I report this, I’m not going to be shunned, that the University is going to take this seriously,” Abdullah-Span said. “Sexual assault happens. It happens on colleges and universities more frequently than we’d like to believe.” If the complainant wants to file charges, the organization that handles the complaint has primary jurisdiction. If the case is between two students and the victim wants to pursue disciplinary actions, the Office for Student Confl ict Resolution has jurisdiction. If the assault is between a student and employee — such as an instructor, professor or teacher’s assistant — then the Office of Access, Diversity and Equity has jurisdiction, Abdullah-Span said. Though the letter calls for investigation, Abdullah-Span says “investigate” is a nebulous term. It is difficult to determine how many cases are investigated because the way an investigation is carried out varies case to case. “But anything that’s reported, we respond to,” Abdullah-Span said. “Anything that’s reported.” Jennifer thinks current laws work against sexual assault survivors. “I don’t think women feel safe

coming forward. I just don’t,” she said. “It can be embarrassing, and it’s just scary.” The Dear Colleague Letter states that even if an individual does not want to move forward with a criminal investigation or with a disciplinary process, they must know that they are supported and have resources available to them, including the ability to drop a class or move residence halls if the alleged perpetrator is there. “Everyone has to do what’s right for them,” Jennifer said. “If someone wants to report it, great. If it were to happen again today, I might do it differently, I might have reported it, but I don’t have regrets because it was what was right for me at the time.” Prior to the Dear Colleague Letter, programs were put in place in an attempt to curb the rate of sexual assault, such as FYCARE, Abdullah-Span said. “The hope with putting in place these mandatory programs for incoming students is that people are more aware and they’re making decisions that contribute to their safety and to reducing the number of sexual assaults that are occurring because when you’re better educated, you make better decisions,” Abdullah-Span said. There is no way to gauge how effective the programs are because there isn’t an accurate number of the occurrences of sexual assault on campus, she said. But the programs are more than just educational tools. They are also a way for the University to convey that it is not going to tolerate sexual assault. Although Jennifer says she’s biased, she believes FYCARE is an effective program to educate students on sexual assault.

“It clearly describes what sexual assault is,” she said. “(Survivors) might feel super uncomfortable after something, but they think that was normal. It’s not normal. That was sexual assault, and I think it’s important people know that.” *** FYCARE helped Jennifer realize her attack was just that — an attack — something she hadn’t previously believed. “I did not consent to it, he made me uncomfortable, he harassed me for weeks after. I sat in and cried by myself a lot,” she said. “It wasn’t normal.” FYCARE also emphasizes supporting survivors, and with the high rate of assault on campus, Jennifer believes chances are that everyone knows someone who has been assaulted. “We need to know how to be there for them and what’s the best way to support them in this time,” she said. Jennifer is a FYCARE facilitator and said the class she had to go through to become qualified helped her cope. The fi rst person she confided in with her story was Molly McLay, her teacher and the assistant director of the Women’s Resources Center. She didn’t immediately tell her friends from home because they know her perpetrator, so she talked to her sorority sisters. This past winter break, Jennifer fi nally told two friends from home. “I still didn’t tell them the name, but I did say if I ever found out they were going to hang out with this person, I would tell them,” she said. At the end of her freshman year, Jennifer told her mom what happened while she was driving her back home. She was furious

Senators address sexual assault on college campuses

3A

After fighting on separate sides about the best way to fight sexual assault in the military, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Claire McCaskill of Missouri have joined forces to address sexual assault in a different area — college campuses. In a letter sent on April 4, they asked the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education for funding to more efficiently investigate and enforce sexual assault laws at universities. “When our young people go on to higher education, it should be an opportunity to learn, grow, pursue their dreams and prepare for their future careers,” Gillibrand said in a statement. The letter requested $109 million for thorough and proper investigations at the Department of Education, the enforcement of laws and the hiring of staff that is specially-trained.

McCaskill is aware of the lack of reporting and resources as well as the poor treatment of survivors. “After being victimized by a crime as deeply traumatic and personal as a sexual assault, no young man or woman should be left to fend for themselves,” she said in a statement. “Our schools must provide the highest level of responsiveness to ensure that victims are protected and empowered, and that perpetrators don’t get a free pass.” This initiative has reached as far as the White House where President Barack Obama signed a presidential memorandum in January to create a task force to protect students from sexual assault. He also released a report titled, “Rape and Sexual Assault: A Renewed Call to Action.” Obama said he will hold schools accountable to federal agencies if they do not confront the problem. “To everybody who’s ever been assaulted, you are not alone,” he said. “We have your back. I have your back.”

at the situation and the fact that Jennifer never took pregnancy or STD tests. Her mom made her get tested, and the results all came back negative. “The pain that you feel when you go through a sexual assault is awful, and you don’t want anyone else in your family to have to feel bad for you or go through the pain with you,” she said. “It’s almost to protect your family and friends, too.”

“We try to empower the victim as much as possible in their circumstances and follow their wishes on how we investigate sexual assault. ”

Illinois Bike Transportation Plan implemented Plan aims to create a sustainable, multimodal transportation system across Illinois

BY JOSHUA WINTERS STAFF WRITER

On April 16, Gov. Pat Quinn, along with Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider, introduced the Illinois Bike Transportation Plan to the public. The plan provides policies an implementation process to the Illinois Department of Transportation, IDOT, to help create a more sustainable multimodal transportation system across Illinois. The plan lays out over 200 suggestions and action items for IDOT to improve its capacity to accommodate Illinois cyclists in a cost-effective manner while improving their safety. The plan targets several topics to improve the existing transportation system, including facility design and maintenance, network gaps, grant funding programs, safety education and enforcement and internal governance and coordination. The plan also includes performance standards to measure the progress of implementation. “The Illinois Bike Transportation Plan is framed around five key principles: safety, connectivity, access, choice and collaboration,” said Schneider in a press release. “These principles helped guide the development of the plan and will be instrumental to implementation. The

plan will ensure that Illinois remains a model of excellence in sustainable transportation.” In the same press release, Gov. Quinn expressed his optimism for the plan. “The Illinois Bike Transportation Plan will help develop a safer and more efficient transportation system for everyone who rides a bike in our state,” Quinn said. “In Illinois, we pride ourselves on our 21st century transportation system, and this plan will guide our future work to expand access to this safe, cost-effective and green form of transportation.” Project manager of the Illinois Bike Transportation Plan, Gabe Sulkes, said that the increase in communication between regions and organizations in Illinois introduced in the plan will benefit the transportation infrastructure in places like the University of Illinois. “The plan enhances coordination with municipalities, regional planning organizations and educational institutions across Illinois via the creation of an inter-agency bike/ped task force,” Sulkes said. “The plan also specifically incorporates feedback from Champaign County’s Regional Planning Commission and includes a section entirely devoted to prioritized

network recommendations that will connect Champaign to communities such as Oak Park and Effi ngham via state roads.” To create the plan, IDOT executed an outreach program to roughly 4,000 individuals across the state, as well as 50 non-profits, 60 local agencies and 11 educational institutions. According to Sulkes, the drafting process lasted about 16 months from start to fi nish. The University Police Department is already ahead of the curve when it comes to creating a safe multi-modal transportation system. University Police Department Deputy Chief Skip Frost said the University strives to be a leader in crafting new policies and campus police are already working on campus bicycle policies. “Anybody that has spent any time on this campus realizes that multi-modal is something that describes the campus,” Frost said. “We have to make sure that we’re pedestrian friendly, we have to make sure we’re bicycle friendly, and in the end we have to make sure that we can promote a safe and efficient flow of traffic no matter what mode of transportation someone uses.” AUSTIN BAIRD THE DAILY ILLINI

Second annual bike census on campus shows imbalance between bikes and available racks BY MEGHAN WEBBER STAFF WRITER

Wednesday marked the second campus bike census this school year, with the fi rst census taking place in the fall, last semester. The Every Bike Counts bicycle census was brought to life on Oct. 23 by Jeff Yockey, president of Champaign County Bikes, and Amelia Neptune, who at the time served as the University’s campus bicycle coordinator, when Yockey and Neptune began discussing the increased number of

bikes on campus. “We were seeing a great number of bikes locked to trees, signs and handrails instead of in bike racks,” Yockey said. “We decided it was important to document this situation with real data, so we began to plan an all-campus bike count.” For this semester’s census, Yockey teamed up with Andy Kopp, the bicycle planning intern at Facilities and Services, which is co-sponsoring the event.

“I love bikes,” said Kopp, a senior in FAA. “Jeff did (the census) last fall with Amelia Neptune, she was the campus bicycle coordinator but she has since taken a job with the League of American Bicyclists, and I’m here in her absence helping Jeff.” According to Yockey and Kopp, campus has a little fewer than 5,000 bicycle racks, and with the 5,573 bikes accounted for last fall, there is clearly an imbalance between bikes and

bike racks. Students with bikes are beginning to notice the lack of the bike space as well, turning to unconventional parking resources such as trees and street signs. “The lack of bike racks on campus is defi nitely an inconvenience,” said Joey Marks, freshman in Business. “I’m glad that this organization is taking measures to improve an aspect of daily life on campus, which will in turn make getting to class easier.”

The census, which occurred at 10 a.m. Wednesday, was done in only one hour with the strategic division of the campus into 24 sections and the assistance of approximately 22 volunteers. According to Kopp, the bike census will not impact the city of Champaign, but only the parts of campus that are encompassed by the city. “We’re trying to fi nd data for decision makers,” Yockey said. “About half of the bike racks at the University are substandard,

they need to be replaced. And so we’re documenting how many bike racks are in great shape and meet the standards and what bike racks don’t. If we can tell them (the decision makers) how many bikes we have on campus, then they will know how many racks we need.” Kopp said the census results are expected to be in on Thursday.

Let’s party like it’s 1564 an attempt to give tribute to a historic figure, today we highlight thee most brilliant, literary genius of th’ English tongue. On the day aft’r tom’rrow we celebrate his day of christening and mark the 450th anniv’rsary whence he came to this world. William Shakespeare, born around April 26, 1564, is arguably the most influential writer of all English literature. He is credited with inventing around 1,700 words, writing over 35 plays, 154 sonnets, multiple narrative poems and becoming the most performed playwright of all time. Shakespeare began his career as an unknown playwright and grew to become one of the most acclaimed writers in English literature. Best known for his playwright genius, Shakespeare’s name has endured the test of time and is still extremely prevalent in academia across the world. While most authors are placed within a canonical time frame, Shakespeare is, more often than not, given his own canon in literary studies. His influence across all fields of study is unparalleled. His plays have allowed audiences, readers and learners to create and imagine so many possibilities when reading a text — his words have come to life through the eyes of readers and are filled with not only Shakespeare’s ideas, but the ideas of those experiencing the text as well. His plays and poetry are filled with love, vengeance, politics and war — themes and situations that are still wildly relevant in today’s world. Though some modern audiences believe his works are difficult to read, once readers immerse themselves in the language, they begin to pick up on all the nuances that make his writing so memorable. His works and themes are so resilient they’ve inspired a multitude of modern day adaptations — think “10 Things I Hate About You� or “She’s the Man.� He also created wonderfully relatable characters and gave female characters an agency and autonomy that was far beyond his time. Shakespeare’s words stir the very soul of every audi

ence member, and his plays are layered with meaning atop meaning. This multiplicity of language speaks to the remarkable nature of every play he wrote and of the mesmerizing wonder that captivates audiences century after century. When laboring over papers and assignments these last few weeks, remind yourself to give Shakespeare a pat on the back — without him you probably wouldn’t have many of the words you used to write them. As we head into finals season, graduation and the dreaded real world, remember the words of the great William Shakespeare: “Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.�

Basic research funding essential for universities, invention STEPHANIE YOUSSEF Opinions columnist

As

a molecular and cellular biology major, I have been encouraged to participate in university research since my first day on campus. Having just started my undergraduate research this week, I have a new-found appreciation for the money and effort that goes into research labs. It is well established that university research is important in developing new technologies and broadening academic knowledge, but this research must be funded before it can make any contributions. In fact, about 60 percent of funding for university research across the country depends on federal grants, and these grants have helped fund countless revolutionary breakthroughs. But the recent approval of federal budget cuts in funding for general research, which is estimated to reduce GDP by more than $200 billion over the next nine years, will hinder this progress. Because of this, the federal government should not cut funding for basic university research. At a highly research-oriented institution such as the University of Illinois, which conducted more than $583 million in research in science and engineering in 2012, these federal budget cuts will negatively impact

our contributions to knowledge. Some may argue that scientific research should be funded by the private sector because if a company funds a study that fails, it is merely a bad investment on its part. If a federally funded study costs billions of dollars and research is inconclusive, American taxpayer dollars have gone to waste. For instance, this is the case with various U.S. government agencies, which have doled out more than $154 billion taxpayer dollars to green energy companies since 1973 — many of which are either currently bankrupt or are headed that way. However, most of the research at universities such as ours is basic research, derived from pure curiosity and meant to contribute toward a greater understanding of a given subject — not necessarily for a target application or return profit. Applied research, on the other hand, such as what is used by companies, is directed toward a specific product or return goal. It builds upon discoveries made with basic research and puts those discoveries toward developing products and earning profits. Thus, the federal government should fund the kind of basic research that goes on at universities — rather than applications for that research. Allow me to explain. Basic science is unpredictable and cannot be compared to companies doing applied research with the hopes of earning a profit. Professor Michel Bellini, who runs a cellular

biology lab at the University, vouches for the fact that “when you propose a project, you never know for sure where that research is going to take you.� Despite the success Dr. Bellini has found in his lab, the potential for basic studies to yield moot results — regardless of how well studies are prepared — is characteristic of the unpredictable nature of science. To make new discovers, researchers must sometimes fail. Even conservative thinker Margaret Thatcher understood the importance and difficulty of basic science research. She said, “Although basic research can have colossal economic rewards, they are largely unpredictable. And therefore the rewards cannot be judged by immediate results.� Though also unpredictable, applied research funding should be left up to industry and the private sector. My view, and what history has told us time and time again, is that competition is a much better way to innovate and profit compared to using government efforts. Applied research, where there is a goal for profit, would be better funded by the private sector, but basic research should be funded by federal grants. Unfortunately, with the backwards way the current administration handles research funding, this is not the case. The current administration deserves little praise for its attempted contributions to science, as it misunderstands the difference of the implications of basic and applied research. The $154 billion taxpayer

dollars allotted toward failed green energy research — which can be categorized as applied research — would have been better handled by the private sector, as that was taxpayer money lost. At the same rate, according to a 2013 Association of American Universities survey, the federal budget cuts for basic research grants have had noticeable negative impacts on 81 percent of responding universities — such as the University of Illinois — which have historically provided breakthroughs in basic science knowledge and supported American invention. In fact, more than half of these universities have started reducing research positions available at their respective institutions due to lack of funding. This also has dire implications on applied research industries, as basic research universities are mainly responsible for creating a pool of fundamental knowledge on which, historically, industry draws from. Simply put, basic research lays the groundwork for applied research used by companies. In cutting funding for basic research, the government has failed to uphold the history America has of funding institutions such as the University of Illinois — institutions that continue the tradition of innovation that helped build this country to where it is today.

‘FRIENDS’ FINISHED FOREVER

BRITISH MALL TACKLES GROUND-BREAKING ISSUES

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WRIGLEY FIELD!

For nearly 10 years, we’ve been friendless. Well, Friends-less. The series starring Courtney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer aired its last episode on May 6, 2004. Since then, many have wishfully speculated about a “Friends� reunion. But Cox squashed those dreams once and for all Monday night on “The Late Show� with David Letterman, when she confirmed that a “Friends� reunion was “not going to happen.� Though the series’ co-creator Marta Kauffman told fans the same thing a year ago, hearing the ugly truth hurts even more coming from the friend herself.

A 10-year-old girl inspired change of epic proportions at a local British mall. As part of an assignment for class, she wrote a formal letter to the mall complaining about slow walkers, saying with great passion and urgency, “I am incredibly disappointed by people walking around your shopping centre — it annoys me so bad I want to scream. Will you ever tell people not to walk so slow? If you do this for me I will be delighted — please do it.� And they did — the mall put in a “slow lane� and a “fast lane� for shoppers. We think this girl is on to something big and are considering writing a similar letter to the University to have this idea implemented on campus sidewalks. To slow walkers on Wright Street, you annoy us so badly we want to scream.

For the 100th birthday of Wrigley Field on Tuesday, Carlo’s Bakery, which is famous for the reality TV show “Cake Boss,� baked a 400-pound, 5-foot-by-5-foot cake to honor the Friendly Confines. The cake took more than six days and four bakers to make. But even more impressive than its size was its appearance, as it didn’t resemble just any old birthday treat. Instead, it was a replica of the stadium itself, including fans, outfield ivy and the scoreboard. What better way to celebrate? After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Ebertfest pick plays up Italian stereotype

T

he late and great film critic Roger Ebert, a local boy who did good (in both senses), loved Italy, Italian culture and Italian-Americans. He visited the country frequently, admired filmmaker Federico Fellini, and felt a cinematic, Catholic kinship with an American filmmaker of Italian heritage, Martin Scorsese. In 1996, he also praised actor Stanley Tucci for trying to move beyond Italian movie stereotypes with his independent film “Big Night.� I had the pleasure of meeting Roger and his lovely wife, Chaz, after a screening of “Big Night.� I was a young film critic for Fra Noi, Chicagoland’s ItalianAmerican newspaper, and was assigned to review it at a private, mid-afternoon screening in the Loop. As I waited in an elevator afterward, hurrying to meet my deadline, in walked Roger and Chaz. I introduced myself, praised Roger for his love of Italy and Italian culture throughout his work, and noted that “Big Night� was one of the few American films I could recall that viewed its Italian characters as complex and dignified, free of the usual Hollywood scorn. Roger paused, nodded, and replied, “You know, you’re absolutely right.� He then waxed nostalgic over how actress Isabella Rossellini, a star in the film, looked so much like her mother, Ingrid Bergman, and soon began naming all of the “great neorealist� movies made by her filmmaker-father, Roberto, in the 1940s. DING! The elevator door opened and Roger and Chaz wished me a nice day. It was, to use the title of a David Lean film, a very “brief encounter,� yet Roger’s personal warmth and love of movies made that elevator glow. A year after his passing, Roger’s introduction to a review of the 1993 film “Arizona Dream� is especially poignant: “Heaven, if I am given a choice, will include an Italian restaurant with an outdoor patio, shaded by a grape arbor, under which large plates of spaghetti are served while an accordion plays in the twilight (‘Arrivederci Roma,’ please).� So it doesn’t bother me that “Do The Right Thing,� directed by Spike Lee, one of the films to be screened at the this year’s Ebertfest, was one of his favorite movies — even though, from my perspective, it unfairly equates Italian-American culture with white racism. As stated, Ebert loved Italic culture. A review of Lee’s career, however, reveals the total opposite — a consistent denigration of Italian-Americans, either as racists or low-lives (“Do The Right Thing,� “Jungle Fever� and “Summer of Sam�). Lee even carried this antipathy with him across the Atlantic when he filmed “The Miracle of St. Anna,� where he outraged the Italians by suggesting that World War II partisans were in cahoots with the invading Nazis whom they were fighting. But altering reality is a familiar pattern in Lee’s films, particularly when it comes to making Italian surnamed characters the antagonists. “Do The Right Thing� is a perfect example. Lee based it on a real-life 1986 incident in Howard Beach, New York, where a young African-American was struck and killed by a car while fleeing from a group of multiethnic white teens attacking him with a baseball bat. It happened near a pizzeria, which, in Lee’s mind, automatically meant “Italian.� And yet, in “Do The Right Thing,� the Italian characters, the ostensibly sympathetic pizzeria owner Sal (Danny Aiello) and his respectively racist and dim-witted sons Pino and Vito (John Turturro and Richard Edson), stoke the fires of racism. The danger of such relentless negative propaganda is that it deepens stereotypes rather than shatters them. Such images obfuscate history. Is Lee aware, for example, of the shooting and lynching of eleven Italians in New Orleans in 1891, one of our nation’s worst massacres? Of the public execution of anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti in Boston in 1927? Of the Italian-Americans declared “enemy aliens� by the U.S. government during World War II? And is Lee aware that many ItalianAmericans throughout history — such as Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, Congressman Vito Marcantonio, jazz band leader Joe Marsala, labor activist Emma Bambace and entertainer Frank Sinatra — devoted their lives fighting for AfricanAmericans’ civil rights? In fairness to Lee, his dim view of Italians may have well been influenced by the negative portrayals enshrined by directors named Scorsese and Coppola, which proves that you don’t have to be black to be an Uncle Tom. In 2014, Italian bashing remains a billion dollar Hollywood industry. At Ebertfest, however, one can still reexperience what the poet Dante Alighieri called “l’esperienza di questa dolce vita� — the experience of this sweet life. Or, to borrow the title of Roger’s book, “Life Itself� — as seen in the movies.

Bill Dal Cerro is a Chicagoan, educator, and national president of the Italic Institute of America, an ItalianAmerican think-tank based in New York.

Runners gather for Ill. Marathon BY DAVID ROTHMUND STAFF WRITER

For the past five years, thousands of individuals have traveled from across the globe to run on the flat terrain around Champaign-Urbana in the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon races. This year, the marathon’s events will begin Thursday and continue until Saturday. Last year, the event attracted a variety of participants. Race organizers continue to offer a youth run, 5K, 10K, relay, half marathon and marathon. Participants can also attempt one of the three I-Challenges, which are a combination of the 5K along with an additional race. According to Jan Seeley, codirector of the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon, the organization is planning to attract over 20,0000 entrants this year. Over the years, more and more participants have gathered to finish their races in Memorial Stadium, and now having been named one of the “best new marathons� by Runner’s World magazine, the numbers continue to grow, according to Seeley. Paul Chae, junior in Business, will be participating in this year’s race. Chae, who has raced in two Christie Clinic Illinois half marathons, said he signed up to run his fi rst marathon this year. Even though Chae is recovering from a knee injury, he said he is determined to fi nish the race. “It’s my goal, I want to accomplish it,� Chae said. Chae said he began training at the beginning of the Spring semester and is utilizing other

My overall attempt in this piece is to present my genuine self on stage, which is emotionally exhausting since I am allowing strangers to enter into a vulnerable place with me.� Angie Pittman, second year graduate student in dance, is also ready to perform her duet with fellow graduate student and friend, Jessica Pretty, in Thursday’s show. “I’m excited about it,� Pittman said. “The prep for the show has gone relatively smoothly so far, so I hope this means for a smooth show run.� Pittman and Pretty started their collaboration for their

forms of cardio to train, such as cycling, because he said it is easier on his joints. Registered or not, Seeley said training is crucial when deciding to run long distances. “Don’t run a race you’re not prepared for,� she said. According to Seeley, the event has gained a high reputation the past five years because Champaign-Urbana and the surrounding communities have embraced it. “Their attitude is a backdrop for us to have for the race,� she said. “(The event helps) improve the health and wellness of the community. It’s the most important thing that we’re doing, we’re changing lives.� Chae said he believes the community has embraced the event, mainly because of all the attractions, which include live bands playing music on the sidelines of the race’s course. “The entertainment they have on the course helps me keep my mind off of things,� he said. Having been a runner since junior high, Chae said his main goal is to fi nish the marathon and prove to himself that he can work to improve his running in the future. However, Chae said signing up for such a huge commitment was not easy. “Finding the balance to workout, do well in school and be social is hard at fi rst, but after a while you get into a routine,� he said. Chae said that if you are having troubles with training, try to “put the workout times in your calendar so you can physically duet, entitled “About[mess],� in October, and have been rehearsing and building the piece since then. “Instead of our dance supporting one emotion or story, we like to think of it as supporting a multitude of emotions or stories,� Pittman said. “So part of experiencing the piece is witnessing a multitude of feelings. So as you watch, just go with it and see where you end up.� The show has eight studentchoreographed pieces in total. These dances consist of solos, duets, a group work and a pre-show. “The pre-show is for when the audience goes in, there is already something going on,� Simson said. “This prepares the audience for a frame of mind to watch and to be engaged.� Williams and Pittman also believe that audience engagement and participation is an important aspect to the concert.

According to Seeley, the Champaign-Urbana community is “in a running boom,� and she can see a difference in the number of people staying active since the Christie Clinic races began in the area. Julie Mills, cross-country coach at Edison Middle School in Champaign, said she is contributing to the process of determining Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon’s elite runners. After receiving the elite runners’ applications, Mills has a list of qualifications that will help determine if the runners are eligible to receive free registration. “There’s an elite runner coming from Brazil,� Mills said. According to Mills, the diffi culty of determining the elite runners is that the runners are all well-trained making it hard to turn some of them down. However, Mills said that she does not want any new runners to be deterred from registering for a race. “As experienced runners, we have to welcome in the new runners,� she said. “It’s something you can do until you’re old.� No matter what a runner’s fi nal time is, “fi nishing 26.2 miles is such an emotional thing,� according to Mills.

David Rothmund can be reached at rothmun2@ dailyillini.com. “My piece relies heavily on the presence of an audience,� Williams said. “The presence of an audience will give my work so much more life.� Williams also said that she wants the audience to develop their own ideas from her piece and to take away whatever they want from it. “I’m looking forward to sharing our work with a special group of people,� Pittman said. “The choreographers are accessible students themselves and would welcome any conversation about their work.� Simson said the audience is encouraged to have their own experience and to come without too much of a prior expectation. “May tonight’s performance engage your imagination and provoke creative questions and responses,� Simson said.

BY ARIANA CONNER STAFF WRITER

An evening of poetry, song and celebration will spice up Lincoln Hall Theater on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. to honor the papers of poet and writer Gwendolyn Brooks which are now residing in the University Rare Book & Manuscript Library. The event, which is titled “Full of Pepper and Light: Welcoming the Gwendolyn Brooks Papers to the University of Illinois,� will feature performances of Brooks’s works from poets, scholars and singers. Admission for the event is free. “It’s (Brooks’s poetry) spicy, bright, jazzy and fl avorful,� said Thomas Mitchell, director of Full of Pepper and Light and associate professor of Theatre. Mitchell said there will be special performances by Brooks’s daughter, Nora Brooks Blakely; poets Laurence Lieberman and Janice Harrington; and Brooks’s editor, Gwendolyn Mitchell, along with many others whom will be performing Brooks’ poetry. The University Black Chorus will perform during the event as well. Gregory Stewart, junior in Business at Parkland College, will be performing in the Black Chorus. Stewart said the choir will be singing a song that Brooks wrote and a tribute to her titled, “Thank You.� “Gwendolyn Brooks is a powerful woman; her poetry made a difference and serves as an inspiration to African Americans, “ Stewart said. “Students can learn from her and she deserves recognition, she deserves it all.� The event is supported by the Departments of African American Studies, English, Religion, and Theatre, the School of Music, the University Library, the Office of Public Engagement, the Center for Advanced Study and the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. To kick off the event, Dr. Haki Madhubuti, Brooks’s publisher and director emeritus of the Gwendolyn Brooks Center for Black Literature and Creative Writing at Chicago State University, will give a lecture in the Main library at 4 p.m. in room 66. “Gwendolyn Brooks poetry — it’s important in the development of American poetry, but also because she was writing in the heat of the Civil Rights Movement,� Mitchell said. “As

a woman poet, she also is a good example of how women’s voices were beginning to be heard differently.� There will also be a bus to pick up students and community members, according to Valerie Hotchkiss, director of the Rare Book and Manuscript Library. She said three buses from all Champaign-Urbana public libraries will take attendees to the event at 7 p.m. Hotchkiss said that to get in the mood for an evening of poetry, students from English and Creative Writing along with library staff will be reciting her poetry during the bus ride. The Rare Book and Manuscript Library acquired Gwendolyn Brooks’s papers in October 2013. Hotchkiss said the collection includes 140 big banker boxes full of Brooks’s papers, notebooks, manuscripts, awards and books. Hotchkiss said her works sit with other renowned poets such as W.S. Merwin. She said the library has several literary

archives of important writers and thinkers, and Brooks joins them on the shelf. Brooks is the second major poet laureate of the State of Illinois, following Carl Sandburg. “She’s one of the greatest poets of the 20th century,� Hotchkiss said. According to Hotchkiss, Brooks’s works will be used in the classroom as well because many faculty members are interested in bringing these resources into their classrooms. She said that the collection shows Brooks’s creative processes that can be used to teach college classes and at other education levels. “We should be really proud that we managed to get Gwendolyn Brooks’s papers here,� Hotchkiss said. “It wasn’t just given to us; we were fi ghting with other universities, and we made the case to her daughter that this is the right place.�

Bicyclists race against the clock to raise money at Gold Sprints BY REBECCA JACOBS

bicycle pump sat on the stage of The Void Room, but there were no tires attached to the two bikes. Instead of pedaling to go a distance, riders were pedaling to fundraise. Illini 4000 hosted Gold Sprints at the Canopy Club on Wednesday night. All money raised funded Illini 4000, a nonprofit organization that goes on an annual crosscountry bike ride to fight cancer. Starting at 6:30 p.m., two people at a time went headto-head on stationary bikes. Before each race, everyone in the room chanted, “3, 2, 1� over the sound of the music before shouting go. The racers rode for only about 20 seconds, but their legs were flying as a projector showed the cyclists’ progress. Two lines, one green and one yellow, moved around a circle, showing who was in the lead. Illini 4000 members held onto the base of the bikes to keep them from shaking as riders pedaled as fast as they could. But that wasn’t enough keep the stage from shaking. Michael Bodtke, junior in Engineering, and Spencer Bryngelson, graduate student in Engineering, are used to racing for speed rather than distance in Illini Cycling, an RSO on campus. They had a friendly competition during their race. “I let Mike beat me,� Bryngelson said. The head-to-head races were followed by a bracket tournament starting at 7:30 p.m. to further raise money. It cost five dollars to join the tournament and two dollars per individual race. “It’s great when you can have events like Gold Sprints where you can have a ton of fun and fight cancer at the same time,� said Christy Nichols, senior in LAS. Nichols said she “could not be more excited� to be part of the 2014 Illini 4000 team. She is part of the logistics commit-

tee, helping to plan where the riders will stay throughout the country. She contacts community centers, churches or anywhere else that might allow them to stay for free. “Cancer is a really big part of the lives of almost everyone in the organization, but we still spend a whole lot of time smiling despite that,� said Marissa Castner, junior in Engineering. The Illini 4000 website reads, “As long as cancer remains an issue of public health, as long as cancer affects daily life, and so long as cancer takes its toll, we shall continue our fight.� During the ride, Illini 4000 also aims to document the American cancer experience. While cycling across the country, riders interview Americans who have dealt with cancer in their lives, whether that is themselves or people they know. These interviews are collected for their Portraits Project, an online website of stories. Castner finds packing “effectively� the most daunting for the event. “Preparing for Illini 4000 has gone way beyond training our legs for long days on the bike,� Castner said. “We’ve learned many other tasks, such as how to operate a camera for the Portraits Project, how to change flat tires, fix faulty chains, and how to (hopefully) fit most of your life in a military backpack for three months.� The ride begins May 24 in New York City and continues through the upper half of the United States. The route concludes in San Francisco on August 3. As of Wednesday afternoon, Illini 4000 raised $68,700 for its 2014 ride. Shiqi Fu, junior in Engineering, finds it difficult to raise money from relatives because she is an international student from China. Group fundraising events help Fu raise money, including Gold Sprints. Money aside, Eric Baehr, senior in LAS and ACES, knows it

“will definitely be a physically demanding summer.� The group rides together every Saturday to train. Riders are also required to do a midweek ride, which is usually about 20 miles. Nichols said that the group increases the length of their training rides each Saturday. This weekend, the group will ride for 75 miles. Last weekend, the riders took a 60 mile trip to Allerton Park in Monticello and back. On the way back from Allerton, Nichols said the group “decided that clearly a stop at McDonald’s was absolutely necessary.� “When you’re cycling, you get incredibly hungry all the time, so most of our rides involve food,� Nichols said. “You wouldn’t believe how much better food tastes after a long ride.� Nichols said a lot of her favorite memories during rides involved food stops. She also finds the amount of times she and her fellow riders have fallen off their bikes amusing. Nichols said it took a while for them to get used to clipping in and out of their pedals. “The good news is that we’re getting all of these things out of the way before we bike across the country,� Nichols said. Baehr said that Illini 4000 has been raising money since last fall to meet their $150,000 annual fundraising goal. Two groups that Illini 4000 supports are the American Cancer Society and Camp Kesem. Camp Kesem is a summer program for children who have parents dealing with cancer. According to the Illini 4000 website, Illini 4000 helped Camp Kesem start a summer camp in central Illinois, allowing dozens of children to attend free of charge. Illini 4000 is continuing to raise money before departing next month.

University dance students to perform in StudioDance II Concert BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

On Thursday, students of the University’s dance department plan to captivate and engage audience members in this year’s annual StudioDance II Concert. The StudioDance II Concert, a performance consisting of graduate and undergraduate students, will be hosted at the Krannert Center for the Performing Art’s Studio Theatre. Its two shows will start at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tickets are $8 to $15 and can be purchased anytime on the Krannert Center’s website or at its box office. Kirstie Simson, concert director and assistant professor in dance, said the concert is a celebration of the choreographic collection of a future generation of artists. “It is a very exciting concert because you can see the students’ individual voices,� Simson said. “You get to see their own artistic visions.� Simson said that the show is not subjected

to just one style of dance, but is a variety of different movements and pieces depending on the student. “The program is incredibly diverse,� she said. “We have some more technical works in this one, working with the technique of the body, and then some of them are real personal explorations.� Students in StudioDance II will showcase their “dance-making investigations� on stage, which Simson said is a way for students to get more in touch with their creativity and follow their own interests through movement. “Each one of them will have their own interest that they explore,� Simson said. “It is absolutely on their own and very much their own exploration of what they are interested in.� Katie Williams, sophomore in FAA, is looking forward to presenting her piece for Thursday’s show. “I have been working on this piece since the beginning of this school year,� Williams

said. “This work is a continuation of ideas I had been working on in my choreographic process class last semester. My peers and professors gave me a lot of feedback and encouraged me to audition this work for StudioDance II.� Williams’ solo entitled “Concentering� was inspired by her own personal experiences and is a compilation of her own ideas and theories about the world. “‘Concentering’ is an ever-evolving solo that can only truly live and breathe in the present moment,� Williams said. “The spine of this work tests the possible levels of vulnerability and honesty from both the mover and viewers. I really wanted to test the boundaries between watching and being watched.� Williams said that in her piece she has the lights turned up for a majority of the time so she can make eye contact with her audience.

Illinois not able to recover after throwing error BY NICHOLAS FORTIN STAFF WRITER

The Illinois baseball team faced off against Missouri at Busch Stadium on Wednesday night. Illinois lost 5-2.

Missouri beats Illinois in Braggin’ Rights game BY J.J. WILSON STAFF WRITER

ST. LOUIS — Seven strikeouts and one earned run on three hits normally makes for a promising night for any starting pitcher — especially a freshman. Illinois’ Cody Sedlock struck out five of the first 11 Missouri batters in his third career start Wednesday night, during which the righty recorded better numbers than in either of his first two starts. His seven strikeouts were a new career high. With a few more pitches to contact — and one fewer error — he might have even gotten his first career win. The Illini simply let small mistakes add up in their 5-2 loss to Missouri in the annual Braggin’ Rights game at Busch Stadium. “When you get in a tight game and you don’t do things fundamentally well, you lose,� head coach Dan Hartleb said. Sedlock fell behind on pitch counts early, which led to a bases-loaded situation in the second inning that set up the Tigers for their first run of the game. With no outs, Missouri’s Dillon Everett grounded to shortstop Adam Walton, who managed to

But the ball flew over first an inning apiece on the mound baseman David Kerian’s head, against Missouri, recording four

strikeouts and allowing just two runs on two hits. A lackluster Illini offense overruled any improved pitching efforts, though, as it was only able to generate six hits in the game. Tigers reliever Peter Fairbanks entered to start the second and closed the game with 84 pitches, striking out three and walking none. “We didn’t do a very good job of getting deeper in the counts and forcing him to get his pitch total up,� Hartleb said. “But when we’re swinging early in the counts and not getting hard contact, that’s not a very good at-bat.� With the loss, the Illini fall to 2-2 in midweek games and 22-15 on the season. A quick turnaround into a home series against Indiana also gives Illinois little time to refocus on its fundamentals, but Hartleb doesn’t expect the loss to affect his team’s mentality. “It’s one game during the season,� he said. “We made some mistakes, we’ll be better Friday.�

After the throwing error, Missouri capitalized on the momentum by walking in the next at bat and hitting a double to left center that scored one run, followed by a groundout to the Illini’s Adam Walton that scored another. Sedlock recorded seven strikeouts, a collegiate career high, and only gave up three hits. He said he wasn’t happy that he wasn’t able to pick up his defense after the error. “I didn’t really do a very good job of getting ahead of hitters, and that really cost me late,� Sedlock said. “Just some things didn’t work out.

Women’s tennis prepares for conference finals

Men’s tennis gears up for Big Ten Tournament

BY THOMAS DONLEY STAFF WRITER

No. 12 Illini look to emulate 2012 Big Ten championship success BY BRETT LERNER STAFF WRITER

When college tennis fans think of the Big Ten, there’s one program that comes to mind immediately. The Ohio State Buckeyes are a national powerhouse and have asserted their dominance over the rest of the Big Ten for years. Ohio State has won seven of the last eight conference tournaments, only leaving without the conference tournament trophy in 2012. The David to Ohio State’s Goliath that year was Brad Dancer’s Illinois squad. The Illini have consistently been a top-15 program in the nation, but it’s hard to compare to the dominance of the Buckeyes. The 2012 performance is something Illinois will be looking to repeat this weekend at the 2014 tournament in East Lansing, MI. No. 12 Illinois is the two seed in the tournament and Ohio State is the top seed. The conference title Illinois captured in 2012 is something that has been mentioned recently around the Atkins Tennis Center. “They didn’t have a scoreboard there (in 2012), so nobody knew how the other guys were doing and I tell our guys that all the time, I think that was a big factor for us. Like we just went out and played and we weren’t worried about what was happening,� Dancer said.

ST. LOUIS — With one out in the top of the fourth inning of a tied game, and a 1-2 count on Missouri’s Dylan Kelly, Illinois’ freshman starter Cody Sedlcok threw a breaking ball low in the zone for strike three. The Illini sophomore catcher Jason Goldstein dropped the third strike and the ball began to roll away. Goldstein fielded the ball as he has done “a handful of times� before in his baseball career and threw to first base. As Goldstein gathered to throw, Kelly took off down the first base line. “The ball rolled away from me,� Goldstein said. “I went over there, I saw an angle and I thought I had a chance to throw him out and it sailed.� The throw went over the head of Illinois first baseman David Kerian, who jumped to try to make the play, and rolled into right field. Kelly rounded first and made it to second on Goldstein’s throwing error, starting an offensive sequence for the Tigers that ended with Missouri scoring two runs and taking the lead for good. The Tigers tacked on another two insurance runs in the fifth and the Illini added their second run of the game in the seventh, to make the final score 5-2. Goldstein, who had come into the Braggin’ Rights at Busch Stadium on a hot streak that included going 11-for-16 in the Illini’s four previous midweek matchups, was held hitless in the game and called

it a “rough day� for the team. “I kinda screwed (Sedlock) there on the dropped third strike,� Goldstein said. “While he still has to go out and execute pitches, it really does take a lot out of you when you have to get a fourth out that inning.�

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois Ferris Gosea looks toward the official after a rally during a match against Pepperdine on Mar. 14. Gosea and the Illini head to the Big Ten Tournament in East Lansing, Mich., this weekend. Although the ultimate goal going into the weekend is to face off with No. 2 Ohio State in the tournament championship, Illinois will have to battle to get there. The Big Ten has been one of the top conferences in the country this season, currently with three teams in the nation’s top25. The Illini finished the conference season with a 9-2 record, but actually only lost one match. A 4-3 win over Penn State was overturned by the conference after Penn State filed a lineup challenge. By gaining the second seed, the Illini were given a first round bye and will play the winner of Minnesota and Indiana on Friday afternoon. If Illinois advances to the semifinals, they would likely face Penn State. The Nittany Lions will match up with either Michigan or Wisconsin in their first match. In regular season matchups

with Penn State and Ohio State, the Illini weren’t at full strength. No. 8 Jared Hiltzik had just returned from a nagging wrist injury and wasn’t playing anywhere near his full ability yet. Since that road trip, Hiltzik has been on a tear and is showing major signs of returning to his old self, having won his last 7 singles matches. “The more matches I got to play, the more game footage I got to watch to see how I looked on the court,� Hiltzik said. With Hiltzik’s reemergence, the Illini possess a duo at the top of their singles lineup that is debatably one of the best in the country between Hiltzik and No. 17 Farris Gosea. Gosea played in the top singles spot in Hiltzik’s absence and the two have been switching between the top spots regularly within the past few weeks. “I’m feeling confident, my body’s feeling good, so it’s all

looking good for me,� Gosea said. While the singles lineup is looking as strong as it has for Illinois all season, doubles will be the area the team will have to find consistency in to move deep into the conference tournament. The No. 5 ranked duo of Ross Guignon and Tim Kopinski will have to establish the tone early for Illinois, and Dancer will have to set the right pairings to succeed. Although Ohio State has dominated the conference tournament in recent history, the Illini know exactly what it will take to bring home the hardware and aren’t shying away from the challenge at all. Playing Ohio State doesn’t intimidate them. “It’s going to be OSU hopefully in the final and that’s going to be really exciting for us,� Gosea said.

The spring of 2014 has been a roller coaster ride of sorts for the Illinois women’s tennis team. This weekend marks the end of that ride as the postseason starts Thursday morning with a match against Nebraska at the Big Ten tournament in Evanston, Ill. After starting the season 4-1 with its only loss a tightly contested one at then-No.23 Notre Dame, Illinois faltered against some beatable teams in Oklahoma and Wichita State. The Illini closed out their nonconference schedule by picking up a pair of victories at the Blue Gray Tennis Classic, including a win over Oklahoma State, currently ranked No. 25 in the nation. Illinois started out its Big Ten season with losses to Northwestern and Purdue, but surged back to win four straight matches over Southern Illinois, Indiana, Penn State and Ohio State. The Illini followed that win streak with a three-match losing streak to Michigan State, Michigan and Iowa to fall to eighth place in the Big Ten. They closed out the regular season by winning their final three matches against Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin to finish 13-9 and 6-5 in the conference, good for a three-way tie for fifth place with Indiana and Minnesota. Illinois holds the tiebreaker over the Hoosiers and Gophers, having beaten both teams in the regular season. “I’m really proud of how the girls responded,� head coach Michelle Dasso said. “We finished the regular season playing well and with pride.� In their first postseason match, the Illini will face

Nebraska (8-16, 0-11), just 11 days after they defeated the Cornhuskers 4-2 on Senior Day. Seniors Allison Falkin and Misia Kedzierski, junior Melissa Kopinski and freshman Jerricka Boone picked up singles victories in the teams’ first meeting, as Boone’s defeat of Hannah Sulz sealed the win for the Illini and eliminated the need to play doubles. Illinois will look to hand the Cornhuskers their 13th straight loss. Nebraska has not beaten a nationally ranked team all spring. If the Illini win Thursday, they will face Purdue, which earned a first-round bye with its fourth-place finish. The Boilermakers enter the postseason having lost two of their last three regular season matches. On March 9, Illinois dropped a 5-2 contest at Purdue, with freshmen Boone and Alexis Casati taking the only Illini points. The Boilermakers swept the doubles match. The Illini also faced Purdue at home in November during the Midwest Blast. The teams’ match was unscored. The Illini freshmen have played a prominent role in

Weekend baseball win imperative in title hunt

Women’s golf confident prior to conference championship BY ASHLEY WIJANGCO STAFF WRITER

uess who’s coming to town this weekend? No, I’m not talking about award-winning director Spike Lee, who will be visiting downtown Champaign on Friday for Roger Ebert’s annual film festival. And nope, I’m not referring to the thousands of runners who will arrive in the twin cities for Saturday’s Illinois Marathon. I’m talking about the Big Ten’s best baseball team, the Indiana Hoosiers, who begin a three-game series Friday against the Illini at Illinois Field. The Hoosiers bring an 11-1 conference record to Champaign, and the series gives the Illini a golden opportunity. Illinois trails Indiana in the Big Ten standings by two games, sitting in second place with a 9-3 conference record. If the Illini are going to make a run at the Big Ten title, they can’t falter this weekend. Losing two or three games to the Hoosiers would realistically drop them out of title contention. The remainder of Illinois’ conference schedule includes three Big Ten teams with winning records, and the team closes the season with six straight games on the road. Indiana faces a pretty light conference schedule the rest of the way. The last 14 months have

Illinois’ short stop Ryne Roper (15) dives back on to first base during the game against Missou at Busch Stadium on Wednesday. Illinois lost 2-5. been exciting to say the least for the Indiana baseball program. The Hoosiers won 25 of their first 28 games in 2013, and got to enjoy their winning streak in a new home. Bart Kaufman Field, the Hoosiers’ new state-of-the-art home ballpark, opened in March of last year. Indiana went on to win the Big Ten title outright for the first time since 1932, but they weren’t done yet. The best season in Indiana baseball history culminated in the school’s first appearance in the College World Series. The 2014 Hoosiers don’t appear to have lost any momentum from last year. Although this year’s squad is not as dominant, it still has an impressive 25-11 overall

record through Tuesday. But the Illini have some momentum of their own; they were riding a four-game winning streak prior to Wednesday night’s neutral-site game against Missouri. The Illini will have to lean on their notoriously strong pitching to keep the Indiana bats in check. But while pitching has been Illinois’ strong suit, Indiana’s arms have been even better. The Hoosiers boast a 2.52 ERA to the Illini’s 3.08. And don’t expect the Illini to out-slug them. While the two teams are nearly even in batting average, Indiana has hit 25 home runs on the season compared to nine for Illinois. So if the Illini are to make a push for their 30th Big Ten

title in program history and their first since 2011, this weekend is crucial. An unlikely, but not impossible, sweep of the Hoosiers would put Illinois in sole possession of first place in the Big Ten. It’s the biggest series of the regular season, and it should be a fun one. Area companies are giving out free food at the ballpark, the weather will be warm and the biggest crowd of the season will likely show up on Sunday. We already know the Illini are pretty good, but soon we’ll find out if they’re for real.

“Things just didn’t work out.� Head coach Dan Hartleb said although the error didn’t help the team’s chances, the Illini didn’t execute several other plays, which factored into the loss. “ We had oppor tu nities beyond that,� Hartleb said of the throwing error. “We walked a guy after, we hit a guy in a situation where we could have been out of an inning, we threw to a wrong base, we just weren’t

very sharp.� Goldstein knows that an error now and then is just a part of the game, but he said the Illini need to go out and work on fielding. “Errors happen,� Goldstein said. “There’s nothing we can do about it. We just have to go out and try to prevent them.�

The team had strength training on Tuesday morning with a stretching routine. Practice on Tuesday was at Stone Creek (Golf Club in Urbana) with some individual practice time and nine holes of play. During the round, the focus was on breaking the fairway into thirds and the greens into sixths.� Despite the short amount of time, the Illini aren’t worried. “The team is feeling very confident heading into Big Tens,� junior Erin Ahern said. “We are coming off of our best finish at the Lady Buckeye Invitational since 2006. The Scarlet Course definitely tested us, but we managed the course well and gained a lot of confidence.� Slone also said the team’s final nine holes at the Lady Buckeye Spring Invite were strong, so the golfers will be looking to use that as momentum heading into the three-day conference tournament. The Illini are also confident because of their experience at the course, as the team practiced there in the fall. “Feeling comfortable with a golf course is very important,� Ahern said. “Playing it back in the fall eliminated any big surprises from said. “We get to practice together all week and we know who we play, so we’re good.� The Illini will likely need to win at least two matches in the Big Ten tournament to qualify for the NCAA tournament, which, at this point, seems like a real possibility. “I think our chances are good,� Falkin said. “We’re on the bubble, but we’ve been playing well lately.� Illinois knows that in the Big

popping up during the practice round. For the most part, we know what to expect so, we feel more confident. There is a lot of slope around the greens, so short game will be crucial. It is also a course that requires good lines off of the tee. I think that we play better on courses that require accuracy and precision, so this is definitely an advantage. Junior Jackie Calamaro added: “It’s definitely a course where you just need to be able to manage your game well and understand what your strengths and weaknesses are. So the nice thing is it doesn’t necessarily favor a player with a specific kind of game. If you play it smart, you’ll be able to score.� One disadvantage Calamaro did mention, though, is the difference in course conditions. When the golfers played at the course in the fall, it was wet. However, there aren’t many concerns, as the Illini will be able to reacclimate themselves with the course in Thursday’s practice round. The course doesn’t have many trees, which allows the wind to play a large factor. Luckily for Illinois, Tuesday’s practice took place in windy conditions, so the golfers have a recent experience to relate to. Northwestern and Ohio State come into the event as the highest ranked teams in the Big Ten at 12th and 25th. For Illinois, there’s plenty of confidence heading into the weekend, and both Ahern and Calamaro were sure the team goal this weekend is to win; however, Slone isn’t as certain. “We have discussed all year that we are fully capable of winning Big Tens,� Slone said. “But now we need to focus on the processes that will make the opportunity a reality.�

Nine of the 12 teams in the middle of the Big Ten standings have either beaten teams with better records or lost to teams with worse records. “Right now, each team in the Big Ten is 0-0,� Dasso said. “We’ve got to start fresh. We’ve got to believe.�

A

major component in the pageantry of college athletics is the idea of representation. Studentathletes represent their school when they compete on a national level, and must carry themselves with that notion in mind. A team of high GPAs means a school of high GPAs. A team of suspension candidates and hooligans means a school of the same. Supposedly. So when you read a headline like “Illinois basketball player arrested� your instinct is to cringe, or at least shake your head in disappointment. But when you cut through the crap, what we really appear to have is the University Police Department making a signature catch thanks to some questionable ethics on the part of the police and drunken panic on the part of Darius Paul. Darius Paul is 20 years old, which means he’s old enough to enter bars in Champaign. And since he’s old enough to enter the bars, he’s de facto old enough to drink. And while it may be shameful to see a son from the House of Paul bring arrest charges under the family name, let’s look at what the report says happened and see whether there’s really any problem. So Paul was drunk. That’s not legal. But do you have a problem with a 20-year-old drinking alcohol? I don’t. It’s likely that the majority of writers who reported on Paul’s

It’s not like he got a DUI, which is an offense that puts people’s lives at risk. He’s just a 20-year-old college student, who drank and got caught. Though not necessarily positively, he’s representing his school accurately. We can’t be sure how much of a factor race was in this arrest. If it’s not, then the police have made some weird leaps in determining that it’s suspicious for college students to be out at 3 a.m., and that their initial evasiveness was atypical. But if race did factor in, then these logical leaps make a little more sense. Maybe being black at 3 a.m. constitutes probable cause. As a 5-foot-6 white guy, I don’t remember police ever questioning me for being out at 3 a.m., or looking to see if I’m “trying to avoid contact with� them. It could’ve just been the odd sight of Paul’s 6-foot-8 frame that drew their attention. Or maybe the officer knew who he was and thought: “That’s Darius Paul, I’m going to go check on him.� I’d like to think race had nothing to do with it. But I’m honestly skeptical. So what should John Groce do? Maybe a suspension for one regular season game, or a half, is appropriate. But don’t go overboard, and let’s all refrain from going overboard into the territory of questioning Darius Paul’s character. All he’s shown us is that he likes to have fun, and maybe that we shouldn’t trust him to make a crunchtime decision.

arrest, and the majority of those who read about it, and possibly the arresting officer himself, drank before they turned 21. Especially if they went to college. Especially if they went to Illinois. Everybody does it. It’s clichĂŠ because it’s true. The officer approached Paul and another individual, according to the Daily Illini’s staff report, “because of the time of night and because they appeared to be trying to avoid contact with police.â€? Well, let’s see about that. The time of night was before 3 a.m., which is how late campustown restaurants will stay open when they want to draw in the bar crowd. So I don’t know how the police officer can find it suspicious to see people walking around campustown before 3 a.m. And they appeared to be trying to avoid contact with police. Well yeah. Any reasonable drunk 20-year-old would do well to avoid police. When I was 20, I generally stuck to that protocol. When they tracked him down, Paul decided to run, which is where he went wrong in the police’s eyes. But hey, being Darius Paul means a few things: You have disciplinary actions to face beyond legal troubles should you get caught, you don’t want to make your team look bad, you don’t have $320 lying around to pay off a drinking ticket, the police know who you are and will happily catch you, and also it means you’re pretty fast. So yes, of course he should have stopped and taken the hit. But he had been drinking and made a bad decision, like 20-year-olds will do.

Illini head to Des Moines to compete in Drake Relays Men’s track and field seeks to defend cup BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER

Des Moines, Iowa doesn’t really seem like a sports-crazed city. It is the home to the Iowa Barnstormers of the Arena Football League, the Iowa Energy of the NBA D-League, and the Cubs’ triple-A affi liate Iowa Cubs. It’s also the home to the Drake University Bulldogs and for more than 100 years, the University has hosted one of the nation’s largest track meets, the Drake Relays. This year marks the 105th annual installment of the meet. “We’ve been looking forward since the last Drake Relays,� said sprinter Brandon Stryganek. “All of us love running here. We really do enjoy going down there and putting on a show in front of everybody else.� Illinois has enjoyed some recent success at the meet. Last year, the Illini took home the fi rst ever Hy-Vee Cup, a trophy awarded for five relays: the 4x100, 4x400, 4x800, sprint medley relay and distance medley relay. The Relays aren’t just a regular track meet, it’s a whole week of events in Des Moines.

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Brandon Stryganek runs the 100 meter dash during the Illinois Twilight Track and Field meet at Illinois Soccer and Track Stadium, on April 12.

There are road races that fi nish inside the stadium, in addition to events on the track that started on Wednesday and will conclude on Sunday. During those track events, the Illini are looking forward to a defense of the Hy-Vee Cup. Illinois’ very strong No. 11 4x100 and No. 9 4x400 teams will go up against four top-ten teams in each event as well as several other highly ranked teams. “It’s always a good time to put it (the strength of the Illini’s relay teams) on display against other top tier teams like TCU, Georgia, Baylor, all those historic relay schools that we get to go up against. It’s going to be fun to see when we get put up against really good competition what we can come out and do,� said sprinter Brandon Stryganek. This year, the Drake Relays’ NCAA field will host four of the top-15 teams in the nation and 14 of the top 50. The meet features some of the top talent not only in the NCAA, but also in the world. Meet organizers make an effort to land some of the world’s top track and field athletes to compete at the meet. The schedule includes “Moscow World Championships

Rematches,� which as the name suggests, will pit competitors from last year’s World Championships in Moscow against each other once again. “Part of the good thing about going to Drake Relays is the events we’re not running in. We’ll stick around and watch ... the pros compete,� Stryganek said. “You can watch the higher tier athletes compete and put on a show for everyone else.� The Illini watched one of their own, hurdler Andrew Riley, compete against the best in the world last year. He scored an upset win in the 110-meter hurdles over the three medalists from the 2012 London Olympic Games. Riley won the NCAA division of the event in 2012 as well. “Talking to him about some of the things he did preparationwise, stuff like that, that was always a good thing to kind of see what someone else does,� Stryganek said. “It’s a better athlete than you, you can go out and do that in your race now.� For now, Stryganek and his teammates are focused on holding onto the Hy-Vee Cup and to continue the tradition of an Illinois track team that “stands supreme.�

“Coach Turk talked about what it means to him, what it means to us to go out there and give it our best shot at winning another title,� Stryganek said. “We’re all ready to go ... hopefully we’ll come out on top.�

“We’ve been looking forward since the last Drake Relays. All of us love running here. We really do enjoy going down there and putting on a show in front of everybody else.� BRANDON STRYGANEK ILLINOIS SPRINTER
