Roger Ebert raises his hand to interject during his wife Chaz Hammelsmith Ebert’s (not pictured) speech at the Ebertfest Opening Night Gala at the President’s House on Wednesday during the the Ebertfest Opening Night Gala at the President’s House. Ebert lost his voice during his battle with thyroid cancer.

Ebert brings favorite films to C-U Critic to debut new voice during Sunday screening of ‘Citizen Kane’ BY JILL DISIS SENIOR WRITER

For 13 years, Roger Ebert’s fi lm festival, affectionately known as “Ebertfest” to regular attendees, has brought the fi lm critic’s favorite overlooked fi lms to his childhood home of Champaign-Urbana. While every year has showcased a new selection of guests and fi lms, patrons will get to experience something that hasn’t been heard in six years: the sound of Ebert’s voice.

Ebert, who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, was left unable to speak in 2006 . But his wife, Chaz, noted one of this year’s special features in her speech at Wednesday’s opening night gala — a commentary track that will be played at Sunday’s showing of “Citizen Kane.” “One more time, in the Virginia Theatre. His voice,” she said. The 14th annual festival kicked off with the gala at the president’s house. Aside from Ebert and his wife, other attendees included guests from several of the fi lms, sponsors and University administrators. The event began with a presentation given by University presidentdesignate Robert Easter, chancellor and vice president Phyllis Wise and other administrators. Champaign Mayor Don Gerard was also present. He gave Ebert the key to the city, to which Ebert quipped,

“When you get a key to the city, where is the lock?” via a message given to his wife. The guests at the gala said they were eager for the fi lm series. David Graham, a fi rst-time sponsor, said he was interested in seeing several of the fi lms, including the Oscar-winning “A Separation” and the Indian fi lm “Patang,” which he said is “supposed to be visually amazing.” “After going for five years, I wanted to give back and be a sponsor,” Graham said. Kelechi Ezie was excited to see her 13-minute short fi lm “The Truth About Beauty and Blogs” on the big screen. It was shown at 10 p.m. at the Virginia Theatre. Ezie wrote, produced and starred in the fi lm. “The inspiration was my interest in reality TV and the kind of overexposure that everything is

having now,” Ezie said. Ezie’s fi lm is about a self-obsessed YouTube blogger. While Ezie is not familiar with personally producing YouTube videos, she said she is an regular YouTube watcher and was inspired by online makeup tutorial videos. This year’s festival is dedicated to Paul Cox . A director, Cox is the subject of “On Borrowed Time,” a documentary that will be screened

Despite a low turnout among young voters in the Illinois primary, political organizations on campus remain optimistic about increasing participation in the November elections. In the 10 precincts that make up the campus area, there are 11,816 total registered voters, according to Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten. Only 162 total ballots were cast during the Illinois primary held in March, a 1.37 percent voter turnout rate, compared to a 21.02 percent voter turnout rate for all of Champaign County. Hulten said the low voter turnout, which he called “atrocious,” may have been a result of the primary coinciding with spring break. Despite the scarce youth voter participation in the Illinois primary, the UIUC College Democrats and the UIUC College Republicans, both registered student organizations, said they believe that they will be able to mobilize the youth vote for the upcoming November elections. Since most University students will be signing new housing leases and changing residences around August 1, the president of the UIUC College Democrats, Shana Harrison, said the group won’t focus its efforts on encouraging voter registration until students are settled in their new addresses. “We’re going to focus on trying to work more and do more outreach to make sure everyone is registered by the deadline, which is October 9, and make sure that then those students have the opportunity to vote,” Harrison said. Despina Batson, president-elect of the UIUC College Republicans, said the group is currently concentrating on building up attendance and membership. However, over the summer they will be creating strategies for increasing student voting and start their campaign on Quad Day next year. One event that Batson noted as being successful in combating waning voting participation was “Legends with a Legend,” an event where a candidate or elected official would join them at the bar Legends Bar and Grill for drinks and appetizers. “These well-received events

Waiting pays: Best time to look for apartments Rates often drop after fall lease-signing rush BY TIM REES CONTRIBUTING WRITER When it came to signing a lease this fall, Jill Marik , sophomore in DGS, considered apartment prices too high and turned to private-certified housing as an alternative. “For what I was being quoted at the time, (leasing an apartment) wasn’t worth it,” she said. “I thought I was better off going with private housing with my meals included again, as opposed to living in an apartment, paying a ton for the unit, utilities and food.” But once spring came around, Marik said the price for a two bedroom unit at 309 E. Green St. went down by about $200 a month. By that time, however, she had already committed to private housing. Such is the case for many students who sign leases in the fall under the impression that prices are static. Ethan Bruning, freshman in ACES, signed his lease for fall 2012 last October. Bruning said he got caught up in the “pressure to sign as soon as possible in fear of all the good properties

She said students are often unaware that properties are still available later on in the year. According to classified advertisements in October 2010, The University Group stated that four-bedroom apartments on Sixth Street started at a rate of $300 per person. In April 2011, the rate for the same unit was lowered to $200 per person. The University Group could not be reached for comment. Tim Haas, leasing director for Roland Realty, referenced a chart that outlines lease prices for his company. According to the chart, a four-bedroom unit at 309 E. Green St. sells at

Arizona law faces criticism, upheld by Supreme Court BY MARK SHERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Bucking the Obama administration, Supreme Court justices seemed to fi nd little trouble Wednesday with major parts of Arizona’s tough immigration law that require police to check the legal status of people they stop for other reasons. But the fate of other provisions that make Arizona state crimes out of immigration violations was unclear in the court’s fi nal argument of the term. The latest clash between states and the administration turns on the extent of individual states’ roles in dealing with the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants. Immigration policy is essentially under the federal government’s control, but a half-dozen Republican-dominated states have passed their own restrictions out of frustration with what they call Washington’s inaction to combat an illegal flood. Parts of laws adopted by Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah also are on

hold pending the high court’s decision. Civil rights groups say the Arizona law and those in some other states encourage racial profiling and ethnic stereotyping, and debate over such laws could have an impact on this fall’s elections. More than 200 protesters gathered outside the court, most of them opposed to the Arizona law. However, in an unusual comment, Chief Justice John Roberts made clear at the outset of the administration’s argument Wednesday that the court was looking only at state-versus-federal power, not the civil rights concerns that already are the subject of other lawsuits. “So this is not a case about ethnic profi ling,” Roberts said. That matter dealt with, both liberal and conservative justices reacted skeptically to the administration’s argument that the state exceeded its authority when it made the records check, and another provision allowing suspected illegal immigrants to be arrested without warrants,

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREENSBORO, N.C. — John Edwards drove erratically in a borrowed black SUV down rural North Carolina roads, as his once-trusted aide tried to keep up. The former presidential contender pulled into a secluded dead-end road and beckoned for the aide, Andrew Young, to get in. Young, testifying Wednesday at his longtime boss’ corruption trial, noticed Edwards seemed nervous. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead even though the air conditioner was running. Edwards confessed that life inside the nearby gated estate he shared with a cancer-stricken wife angered by his affair had become “a living hell.” Young said Edwards then shocked him by denying any knowledge of $725,000 in secret checks from an elderly heiress used to buy his mistress’ silence. “I didn’t know about these, did you?” Edwards asked, according to Young. Worried he was being taped, Young lied and said no. The August 2008 exchange, also recounted in Young’s tell-all book about the Edwards scandal, reads as if pulled from a political thriller. It was Young’s third straight day of testimony as the government sought to prove Edwards masterminded a scheme to use nearly $1 million from wealthy campaign donors to conceal his affair with Rielle Hunter from voters as he sought the White House. Edwards’ attorney sought to point out inconsistencies in Young’s testimony and other accounts of his story during crossexamination Wednesday. Young had falsely claimed paternity of Edwards’ daughter with Hunter as the

Barack Obama was pretty successful in using new ways of mobilizing voters and connecting and generating enthusiasm among young voters,” Mondak said. “This year, we’re not going to have that.” An analysis conducted by the CIRCLE, or Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, parallel Mondak’s sentiments. In 2008, there was an 18 percent turnout rate among voters ages 18 to 29 in the Illinois presidential primary, while in

politician dismissed the stories as “tabloid trash” while campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire. During the 2008 meeting in his car, Young told Edwards he had kept evidence of the cover-up, including voicemails, emails and an intimate tape made by the woman. He said he threatened to go public if Edwards didn’t come clean about the fact the baby was his. “You can’t hurt me, Andrew,” Edwards told Young as he opened the door to get out, Young said. “You can’t hurt me.” The former one-term U.S. senator from North Carolina has pleaded not guilty to six counts related to campaign finance violations. He faces up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines if convicted on all counts. Edwards denies knowing about the secret money, much of which flowed into accounts controlled by Young and his wife, Cheri. Edwards’ lawyers claim the Youngs siphoned off the bulk of the money to pay for their $1.5 million house near Chapel Hill. Edwards has often stared directly at his former aide, seated about 25 feet away on the witness stand. Young has not once looked in Edwards’ direction. Young testified that when Edwards asked him in December 2007 to claim paternity, the candidate pledged to set the record straight after the baby was born. Yet months passed with no call from Edwards, and Young said he and his wife had grown tired of sharing a house with the increasingly-demanding Hunter. Through an intermediary, Young demanded a face-to-face meeting with the senator, who was then in talks with Barack Obama’s campaign about becom2012, that rate sunk to 4 percent. Mondak said he believes that maintaining a high level of enthusiasm among young voters will prove to be a difficult challenge as the November elections near. He attributed two main reasons to young people deciding not to participate in the voting process. “One reason is that they don’t view a sufficient difference between the candidates for their vote to be meaningful,” he said. “A second is that students are busy people.” Mondak said efforts to address students’ busy schedules have come through mail-in voting and early polling. Harrison said she expects early polling places, most likely the Illini Union, to be active at least 3 1/2 weeks before election day. Hulten said the Champaign County Clerk’s office is in the process of planning to facilitate offsite early voting at several locations around Champaign County, including a campus location. “The reality is that there are lots of competing factors in people’s lives that interfere, and not with the moment of voting, but with feeling ... that you know enough about the candidates and elections to go in there and vote competently,” Mondak said.

Ed Coyne, vice president of The Bromley Group of Companies, said living costs at Bromley Hall don’t fluctuate as much. He said rates only change by one or 2 percent for new residents, and that for returning students rates are locked in. Marik, among other students, expressed frustration with the lack of guidance she received when it came to apartment shopping. Despite feeling like there may be no help when apartment shopping, Patt said students should consult the Tenant Union with questions. Patt stressed that students should not feel obligated to sign a lease in the fall. “Students that are extremely picky may want to sign early, but the notion that nothing will be left in the spring is false,” Patt said. “Prices are good, and it is always a plus to wait and make sure your situation does not change during the spring semester.”

HARTFORD, Conn. — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy quietly signed a new law Wednesday that ends the state’s death penalty for future crimes, making Connecticut the 17th state to abolish capital punishment. The Democrat signed the bill behind closed doors, without fanfare. An aide said Malloy was surrounded by lawmakers, clergy and family members of murder victims. While he called it “an historic moment,” Malloy said in a written statement that it was a moment “for sober reflection, not celebration.” The bill, which became effective immediately, was signed on the same day that a new Quinnipiac University Poll showed that 62 percent of registered voters in Connecticut still favor the death penalty for those convicted of murder. The same survey found 47 percent of voters disapprove of Malloy’s handling of the issue, while 33 percent approve. “Many of us who have advocated for this position over the years have said there is a moral component to our opposition to the death penalty. For me, that is certainly the case,” he said. “But that does not mean — nor should it mean — that we question the morality of those who favor capital punishment. I certainly don’t.” Amnesty International USA praised Malloy for signing the bill. Connecticut joins 16 other states and the District of Columbia. “Lawmakers in Connecticut fi nally saw the death penalty for what it is — a barbaric and irreversible punishment that does nothing to stop crime nor its victims,” said Suzanne Nossel, the organization’s executive director, who credited the family members of murder victims for supporting the legislation and

EBERTFEST FROM PAGE 1A Friday at 1 p.m. Cox was thankful for the dedication, but he said the real honor was for Ebert. “I think it’s amazing that with all his handicaps to still have the festival,” Cox said. “He’s the hero.” The documentary follows Cox during a serious illness in which he required a liver transplant. He said the documentary began while he was still uncertain of his survival. Three years later, he has returned to Ebertfest

working to get the bill passed. A former prosecutor, Malloy said he used to support the death penalty, but his position evolved over the years. “I learned fi rsthand that our system of justice is very imperfect,” he said., adding how he saw people who were poorly served by their lawyers, wrongly accused or mistakenly identified, as well as discriminated against. “In bearing witness to those things, I came to believe that doing away with the death penalty was the only way to ensure it would not be unfairly imposed,” Malloy said. Earlier this month, the Democraticcontrolled General Assembly passed legislation repealing the death penalty for only future crimes and not the 11 men currently on Connecticut’s death row. The legislation requires that people convicted under the new law would be subject to prison conditions similar to those now experienced by condemned inmates. Opponents of the repeal legislation included Dr. William Petit Jr., the only survivor of a 2007 home invasion in which two paroled burglars killed his wife and two daughters. Last year, Petit successfully lobbied state senators to hold off on repeal legislation while one of the two killers was still facing a death penalty trial. State Rep. Al Adinolfi , R-Cheshire, who lives in the Petits’ old neighborhood, said he was disappointed the state is showing sympathy for convicted murderers, and not for the victims and their families, by repealing the death penalty. “Murderers in prison now for life without the possibility of parole will have nothing to lose by assaulting or killing a prison guard or another inmate. They know the death penalty is no longer an option to hold over their head,” said Adinolfi, who vowed to try and reinstate the death penalty. Instead, he said, murderers will get free state health care, recreational activities and meals for life. In more than half a century, Connecticut has executed only one person — serial killer Michael Ross, who volunteered for the lethal injection in 2005. and is a repeat attendee. His fi lm “A Woman’s Tale” was shown in 2000, and two other works of his were shown over the decade. The gala carried over to a showing of “Joe Versus the Volcano” at the Virginia Theatre in Champaign, followed by “The Truth About Beauty and Blogs” and “Phunny Business: A Black Comedy.” Before the fi rst movie, Ebert and Chaz made another appearance. “He just wanted to come out and see you and says he knows he’s said this once before,” Chaz began. “But this is his happening, and it freaks him out!”

Celebrating deaths of strangers during war a loss of self-respect

POLITICAL CARTOON LANGSTON ALLSTON THE DAILY ILLINI

espect of one’s enemy governs the laws of war. The U.S. Constitution, the Supreme Court and the president have affirmed this by upholding laws against torture and indefinite detention. Respect separates a war from a rampage. The photos published by the Los Angeles Times that show U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan posing next to dead suicide bombers are troubling, and not to mention, perverted. They show that some members of the military don’t respect the foot soldiers on the other side of this conflict. In a war, there may be a tendency to forget that we are fighting to bring down an institution, a government or an idea, not to kill the people under them. The soldiers who did this are in a minority. A soldier who was “concerned about a lack of discipline, leadership and security” leaked these photos to the Times in the first place. But it seems that photos like these emerge fairly often — too often — in the wars we are fighting. This attitude doesn’t stop at the military. Anchors on cable news refer to Iraqis in turbans as “jihadists”; one of your friends tells an off-color joke about

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

UI ‘Apartheid Wall’ only perpetuates ignorance The Israeli Apartheid Wall achieved its goal — it was shocking, indeed. Specifically, it was as shockingly ignorant as it was distasteful. Once in a while facts matter, or they should. As such, for those who actually want an intelligent debate, a little history lesson is in order. Israel’s alleged “occupation” began in 1967. But Israel was founded in 1948. Did Israel enjoy peace from 1948 to 1967? Hardly. The Arab world started several wars to “drive the Jews into the sea and wipe them out as a nation,” as then Egyptian President Nasser so politely put it. What people forget is Israel is not an aggressor. Israel did not attack the Arab world in 1967 in hopes of expanding her New Jersey size “empire.” Rather, prior to 1967, Israel endured 20 years of attacks seeking her total destruction. As such, Israel’s “occupation” was born out of necessity and self-defense. Another forgotten item is that Israel has since returned more than 90 percent of “occupied territory.” That is, the Sinai was returned to Egypt and land was returned to Jordan in exchange for the only thing Israel has ever wanted — peace. Likewise, all of Gaza was returned, and Israel vacated its small security strip in southern Lebanon, thereby further shrinking Israel. In exchange, did Israel get peace? Hardly. Instead, it still gets shelled with rockets almost daily.

suicide bombers and Muhammad. These comments point to a sickening anti-Arab sentiment permeating the country. So is this a war in which our enemy should be treated with respect? Or is alQaida the Hatfields to our McCoys? For the sake of the United States and the countries it occupies, Americans need to treat Iraqis and Afghanis soldiers with respect. Imagine if this same thing happened to an American soldier. The country would be outraged and rightfully so. The problem isn’t with people killing each other or one side celebrating victories over another. This is a war; that’s expected. But when it goes too far, and we celebrate the deaths of strangers and use a caricature as stand-in for all Arabs, we lose our self-respect.

KEEPING IT REAL The rub is simple: Israel is for peace but awaits a real peace partner. Though there are more than 20 Arab-Muslim nations in this world, apparently one Jewish state — however tiny — is one too many. As for Israel’s “Apartheid Wall,” people forget why it was built — to prevent terrorist attacks, which killed scores of Israelis during the Intifadas from 1987 to 2008. It’s the simple concept of causeand-effect in application. And guess what? It works. Terrorist attacks are down a considerable amount since it was built. Nobody would love to tear down the wall more than Israel because it would mean that terrorist attacks have stopped. And think about it — here in America, we’re building even longer walls to separate us and Mexico. And for what? Because Mexicans seek a better life and a job. Imagine what we would build or do if, instead of seeking to join us, our Mexican neighbors sought to kill us. Viewed in this light I can only ask the Israelis, what took you so long? Today’s Palestinian terror is not caused by Israeli “occupation.” Rather, “occupation” is caused by Palestinian terror. All said, Israel was for a twostate solution in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1993, 2000 and remains so today. As judged by their actions — not their sound bites — much of the Arab world continues to seek Israel’s total destruction. Everything else is noise, including the building of “Apartheid Walls” on campus. WILLIAM CHOSLOVSKY University alumnus, class of ‘90

Immigration reform needed, but ‘reasonably suspicious’ law could lead to racial profiling NISHAT KHAN Opinions columnist

ow do you determine if someone’s an illegal immigrant? Is it the way they look? The way they’re dressed? The kind of job they have or the kind of car they drive? In Arizona, the law says police officers just need to be “reasonably suspicious” about someone’s legal status. It’s unclear on what factors might lead officers to determine that suspiciousness, however. The widely contested immigration law does a few things: Chiefly, it makes it a state crime to be an illegal immigrant, requires you to carry documentation about your legal status at all times, allows police officers to ask you for that paperwork if they’re “reasonably suspicious” and allows citizens to sue their local police authority if it’s not adequately enforcing the law. The law is supposed to prohibit police officers from solely considering race when determining someone’s legal

status, but without clarifying what might lead to “reasonable suspicion,” the law will inevitably lead to racial profiling. “People don’t wear signs saying that they are illegal immigrants .... Police officers will not stop white people and will stop Latinos, especially poor Latinos,” said David Cole, law professor at Georgetown University. According to the 2010 census, Latinos comprise 30 percent of Arizona’s population. If this law gets through the Supreme Court, a large majority of lawful Latinos throughout Arizona could be the target of a lot of subjective suspicion. Alternatively, if we required everyone to show their documentation, that might make us feel a little cramped. “A neutral, broad policy that encourages police officers to ask everyone to ‘show your papers,’ even in the course of an otherwise routine traffic stop, could turn our communities into something akin to police states,” said Arthur Hunter Jr., a Louisiana judge, to the Washington Post. It also basically gives police officers an unlimited

amount of room to determine whether someone might be illegal. Whether we like it or not, there will be police officers who abuse that power. Is a law so vague, subjective, and with the potential to wrongfully accuse people of being undocumented the best solution we can come up with to deal with illegal immigration?

It seems like the wrong solution to a rather complex problem, and a solution that has the potential to alienate the Hispanic population in Arizona. There’s a need for immigration reform in this country, but this can’t be the “reasonable” way to go about it.

BETWEEN THE LINES

Be exhausted: Know that you’ve done everything you’re capable of by graduation MEGAN GRAHAM Opinions columnist

am writing this on the threeweek eve of my college graduation. To add some context: It is the second-to-last Sunday school night I’ll ever have. The seventh-to-last “school night” I’ll ever have. The very last time I’ll wake up on a Monday with a full week of class in front of me. Ever! I’ve stopped looking at my calendar, so I’ll stop counting down every single thing, like “Will this be the last Chipotle I eat as a college student?” or “Will this be the last bag of coffee I ever make coffee from as a college student?” — answers to both being “no” because I am a shameless glutton of both burrito bowls and black coffee.

As a soon-to-be graduate, I’ll admit it: I’m fixating. But I never approach these things with lukewarm enthusiasm. I am embracing my one and only college graduation ceremony with what can only be described as childlike exuberance. I’ve recently been labeled among my friends as “that nerd who’s going to the school-wide graduation ceremony.” For you young’uns, there are graduation ceremonies both for your college and the entire university. Though technically we’re supposed to go to both, most people, or at least most people I know, decide to skip the school-wide one. My sentiments of early onset nostalgia have been met with my friends’ premature complaints of sweating in polyester and my brother’s oft-repeated quip from Conan O’Brien’s 2011 Dartmouth commencement speech: “Today, you have achieved something special, something only 92 per-

cent of Americans your age will ever know: a college diploma. That’s right, with your college diploma you now have a crushing advantage over 8 percent of the workforce.” Conan has a point: These days, graduating college is almost as routine as a teeth cleaning. But even though I never really doubted that I would graduate college, I’m still really proud to be standing here with almost all of that work and those often miserable “learning experiences” behind me. I am going to sit there drenched and drowning in my blue polyester sack, and I am going to gaze adoringly at commencement speaker and journalist Cokie Roberts, despite that whole stood-in-front-of-a-greenscreen-so-her-hair-wouldn’t-getmessed-up thing, and despite the fact that I might be seething with jealousy in the presence of a successful (and actually paid) journalist, if I remain yet unem-

ployed at that point. I can remember the freshman year convocation speech we all had to go to like it was just yesterday. The girl next to me was charmingly dry-heaving through last night’s hangover. We were all sticking to the stadium seats, those of us who weren’t afraid of getting in trouble with our Resident Advisors, also present, solely for the free lunch we were promised. I don’t think any of us were particularly enthused to be there. But at some point during the ceremony, the speaker said something that has really stuck with me since that day. He said he’s learned to never go to sleep unless he’s exhausted. I’ve taken that statement to mean a lot in the last four years. A lot of days, I took it literally; pinching myself awake to stave off a constantly burgeoning workload, making sure I was taking full advantage of every day.

But I’ve also learned to take it as a lesson in making the most of whatever opportunities I am given. Exhaustion, in that way, is the point you reach when you’ve done everything you can. I’ve loved this school, even when I didn’t feel like I did, but I am finally reaching exhaustion. I have years and years left to learn, but I think I’ve finally soaked up what I was supposed to. Even though you seniors already have your preschool, elementary, middle and high school graduations behind you, and a lot of you have still more graduations to come — not to mention that not-so-crushing advantage you now have over 8 percent of the workforce — let yourself be proud that you made it here. I hope that as you move that tassel from the right to the left, you feel as exhausted as I do.

“Exhaustion, in that way, is the point you reach when you’ve done everything you can. I’ve loved this school, even when I didn’t feel like I did, but I am finally reaching exhaustion... I think I’ve finally soaked up what I was supposed to.”

SUMMER

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD

ing to deal with it can be the biggest positive of staying at school. “My favorite part was that I didn’t have to be with my parents,” Madden said. “I was so happy to make my own choices without someone telling me when I had to be home.”

to spend. “It does cost money and that’s the downside because when you live at home, you don’t have to pay rent or anything,” Guccione said. Fortunately, the monthly rent at many apartment complexes is more reasonable in the summer, but that doesn’t mean the other expenses of living aren’t still present. Between food and other necessities, the cost to live on your own for an extra three months can add up pretty quickly.

Most leases are for one year.

You need a car.

18 Their images are out of this world

When leasing an apartment in Champaign, most leases are for one calendar year. Therefore, it makes sense for many students to stay in the apartments they lived in during the school year. “My lease for my apartment begins this May and ends next May instead of August to August, so I’m already paying for it,” Madden said. “It’s pretty convenient.” This also makes it much more convenient for your things because there’s no need to move them home.

During the school year, not having a car typically isn’t too big of a deal. Between the bus system and borrowing friends’ cars, there’s always a way to get around not having a ride. For the summer, however, cars seem to be more of a necessity. “When you have to go anywhere, if you don’t have a car, it’s hard, because there’s significantly less buses,” Madden said. “And then if you want to go to the Champaign mall or anything, it’s not very good shopping.”

It can get boring. It’s no secret that Champaign isn’t the most happening town in the world, and even less people being around in the summer makes for a better chance of boredom. Madden explained that it’s especially difficult staying the summer as an incoming sophomore. “It did get boring because a lot of people stay for their summer going into junior year, so I was one of the only sophomores here,” Madden said. “I had to meet older people, which can be hard at times.”

It costs money. There’s nothing better than going back to your parents’ house and having a stacked refrigerator, cars that have gas in them and your dad’s money

EBAY FROM PAGE 6A events to get students to create accounts and list items. Examples of popular items listed are textbooks, old cellphones, iPods and DVDs, according to Carroll. The campaign is also working with apartment complexes, giving students free boxes when they move out to put unwanted items in that they have accumulated throughout the year, Grant said.

Between exchanges, bar crawls, formals and just spontaneous nights out, it’s easy to go out all the time during the school year. For many, summer and winter break are the perfect times to let your body detox for a bit, but summer in Champaign doesn’t allow this break. “Usually when I go home, I have three months of not drinking as much and I work out to get back in shape,” Guccione said. “But when you’re still in a college atmosphere over summer, you tend to go out a lot more than you should.” But then again — is that really a bad thing? At this point in our lives, we still can party and go out without it being a problem. So, those who do live in Champaign for the summer are able to live it up all year round.

Taylor is a sophomore in Media.

The eBay pickers then help students to sell these items on eBay. “It’s really at a relevant place at a relevant time when students would either be throwing that stuff in the garbage or just leaving it in the dorm,” Grant said. “So, we’re just giving them options on what to do with that and, you know, put some money in their pockets.” The campaign was created by eBay as a way to get more college students active on their site, Carroll said. “EBay is always looking to reach

a younger audience,” Grant said, “and with college students developing brand preferences and buying habits, independent for the first time, it just gives eBay a chance to introduce themselves to students when they are accumulating a lot of stuff throughout their academic year.” So far, Grant said the campaigners are happy with their success, and although no formal plans have been made, they hope to continue the campaign next fall as well as expand to more campuses.

La Colectiva helps undocumented high school kids get into college LYANNE ALFARO STAFF WRITER

Andrea Rosales, graduate student, was always on honor roll. At the culmination of her senior year, she was accepted to the nation’s finest Ph.D. programs. Rosales also participated in civil disobedience in Atlanta, Ga., last April to protest immigration laws. She was protesting against banning undocumented students from applying to the top five universities in Georgia. Rosales was undocumented. Today, Rosales is home where she was born. She was arrested along with six other undocumented youths who took part in the protest just after she received acceptance letters to Ph.D. programs and realized she could not afford them because of a lack of financial aid. She is trying to collect the money needed to enroll in a program. “She was loved by everyone,” said Tatiana Alonso, senior in LAS. In addition to her academic performance on campus, Rosales was part of the University organization La Colectiva, which in English means “The Collective.” Alonso said the organization was aptly named. A group of students with different backgrounds created the organization in the 1980s to fight for justice and equality on campus. La Colectiva today is dedicated to advocating for undocumented immigrants on campus — including students in high school — and for people across the country as a whole. “We are an empowerment organization,” said Paola Padron, junior in Social Work. “We give people voices who don’t think they have voices.” Thus, last year when Rosales was arrested, the organization held a fundraiser in her name. Many students showed up and contributed to the event, Pad-

ron said. This year, La Colectiva raised money once more for the same cause of aiding undocumented students but under a different name. On April 18, La Colectiva hosted an event called Voces Olvidadas: The Untold Stories of Undocumented Youth. The purpose of the fundraiser was to collect money for We Dream, We Act, a scholarship that members from the registered student organization are working on with the YMCA. Members of the RSO, like Padron, realize that undocumented students do not have easy access to financial aid. They hope to provide that monetary support for future students. Voces Olvidadas featured a series of narratives performed by undocumented students and an art auction. The organization continues to accept donations at www.lacolectiva.wordpress.com. “The fundraiser had a great turnout,” said Fernando Vasquez, senior in LAS and president of La Colectiva. “People said the narratives were very powerful, which was great.” However, La Colectiva acknowledges that the We Dream, We Act scholarship is only the beginning of a movement aimed at helping undocumented youth get into and stay in college. “If you look at the demographics here at U of I for Hispanic students, it is really depressing,” Padron said. “Especially this year, it is really sad. There should be a lot more than what there are.” According to the University’s demographic information on the Fall 2011 freshman class, 7.4 percent of the freshman class, or 538 students, identified as Hispanic. “Personally, I do not know a lot of people from this area here, and they should be here,” Padron said. “There is a big population out there that is not attending our

school. Where is the connection?” Although La Colectiva advocates for issues related to Hispanic undocumented students, the members acknowledge that the undocumented youths extend beyond the Latino community and the boundaries of the University campus. This Friday, the RSO will visit Urbana High School to talk to students about applying and going to college. The organization will discuss with underclassmen how to make an impression on colleges as well as the actual college application process. “We are going to talk about our own experiences and how they can apply,” Alonso said. “We want to encourage them to go to college.” According to Vasquez, next year La Colectiva plans on having a mentorship program in which members will work with individual high school students to help them get into college. “A couple of my friends are undocumented,” Vasquez said. “They are the most hardworking people I know — better than I am. It hits home.” La Colectiva recognizes that undocumented youth exist outside the Hispanic population and welcomes members of different ethnicity and interests. “Anyone, whether they are interested in helping the community or issue is welcome,” Alonso said. “This issue is not going away anytime soon. We need students to step up and take action.” Although Vasquez will no longer be with La Colectiva next year, he recalls the most gratifying part of being a member of the organization. “It is weird how college for me was not a dream,” Vasquez said, “but for these students it is, and someone is finally going to help them attain that goal. (The most gratifying part) happens when they realize that it is not the end.”

Summer in

CHAMPAIGN Pros, cons of sticking around in college town for summer TAYLOR ELLIS Staff writer

round this time of year, summer is on everyone’s mind. Just saying the word can spark so many images — from lazy afternoons at North Avenue Beach to music festivals in the sun. However, for many students, summer can mean something else — the loss of freedom that’s inevitable when moving back in with parents at the end of the semester. To combat the dreaded reinstatement of curfews and the strange return to high school jobs, some students make the decision to stay in Champaign for the summer. “I just wanted to live on my own for the first time,” said Michael Guccione, junior in LAS. “I mean obviously I lived on my own in college, but I thought not having any responsibilities and living on my own would be awesome.” In the summertime, the Quad is com-

pletely empty, the bars don’t contain crowds of friends and there isn’t even a line at the Chipotle on Green Street. Despite the ghost town feel of Champaign in the summer, some students still decide to stay. The draw of living in Champaign begins with the need to take summer classes. Emily Madden, sophomore in LAS, explained that community college wasn’t an option for her summer courses. “I had to take summer classes and I could only take the classes at U of I to get credit for them,” Madden said. Besides staying for classes, other students such as Chase Clinebell, junior in Business, decide to stay just to maintain their freedom while having a good time. “I decided to stay because someone older and wiser than me, AJ Castillo, said that a summer in Champaign will be the best summer of your life,” Clinebell said. Whatever the reason for staying, there’s no doubting the pros and cons to living in Champaign all year. If you’re making a decision about your summer plans, here are some facts on the town that most of us are unfamiliar with from June to August.

PROS: You meet so many people. During the school year, it’s easy to get set in your ways; even the people you hang out with can become part of this routine. Between Greek life and different clubs on campus, spending time with the same group of people is sometimes unavoidable. But it seems like spending the summer in Champaign can actually have the exact opposite effect. “There are so many less people that you can enjoy the campus more, and by the end of the summer, you end up knowing half of the people that stay down,” Clinebell said.

Freedom. Most would agree that going from complete freedom at school to your parents asking, “Where are you going at this hour?!” is quite the buzz kill. The adjustment back to being at home can be difficult, and not hav-

‘EBay Pickers’ helps students sell accumulated ‘junk’ BY JULIA MARBACH STAFF WRITER

No one knows what can be found in the nooks and crannies of a college dorm room, apartment, sorority house or fraternity house. There may be that textbook from two years ago, multiple Unofficial T-shirts, the book bag from freshman year or an outdated iPod. Although these items may no longer have a value to the owner, there may be someone somewhere who could use them. “EBay Pickers,” an ad campaign launched this semester, can help students clean out their clos-

ets and make some money off of the various items they no longer want by setting up eBay accounts and listing items. The campaign was inspired by the History Channel show “American Pickers,” in which a man travels across America and finds “trash” that he turns into “treasure” at an antique shop, said Laura Carroll, sophomore in Media and brand ambassador for the campaign. The campaign is based on this concept; The brand team goes into students’ living spaces and finds items that could be sold on eBay. These sessions

are recorded and posted to YouTube as “webisodes,” Carroll said. “I think this campaign is important for both eBay and students at U of I,” said Cory Zielke, senior in Media and brand ambassador. “Because, really, it’s a win-win for everyone. EBay gets more customers, while students can get rid of old items they don’t need, while making some quick cash. And the best part is there are no strings attached. You make what you sell.” This campaign is not only on campus, but is a competition between multiple schools across the country, including Michigan

State University, Arizona State University and the University of California, Los Angeles. Each week, the schools must meet specific goals with regards to flyers, new usernames and new listings, Carroll said. The school that does the best that week gets small prizes such as gift cards. Students who participate by creating an account and listing items can also win prizes for having the most listed items or the highest bid prices. At the end of the semester, the campus campaign team that is most successful gets to keep

their rep kits. The kits include a laptop, printer, video camera, backpack and various other tools needed to help students list and auction on eBay, said Adam Grant, CEO at Campus Commandos, the youth marketing agency hosting the competition. The teams also earn money throughout the semester, as well as bonuses for hitting metrics. The campaign team, which consists of six University students, passes out flyers, films the “webisodes,” and hosts various listing

Rice goes with Illinois

RUGGERI’S ROAD

Champaign native to play for Illini after transfer from Drake BY GREG ZECK STAFF WRITER

Rayvonte Rice is coming home. Current Drake sophomore and Champaign native said Wednesday that he is transferring to join the Illinois men’s basketball team. “Decided that I’m taking my talent back to champaign n play for the University of Illinois,” tweeted Rice, who also considered transferring to Xavier. Last season for the Bulldogs, the 6-foot-4 shooting guard averaged 16.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game last season for the Bulldogs. Drake finished with an 18-16 overall record, including a 9-9 mark in the Missouri Valley Conference. Rice put up strong numbers with 13.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in his freshman season, earning a spot on the MVC AllFreshman team. Rice played his high school basketball at Centennial High School and received offers from mostly mid-major schools in the Midwest. According to Rivals. com, one school that offered Rice a scholarship was Ohio, where Illini head coach John Groce was hired from in late March. Former Illinois head coach Bruce Weber did not offer Rice. Groce’s first pickup for the Illini has not been officially announced by the team, meaning he was unable to speak about Rice. “All I can confirm is that we’re recruiting him,” Groce said. Per NCAA rules, Rice will be required to sit out next season but will have two years of eligibility remaining with the Illini.

PAUL RUGGERI’S NEXT GOAL: 2012 OLYMPICS Illini gymnast hopes to earn a spot on 2012 Olympic team after college success BY EMILY BAYCI SENIOR WRITER

Editor’s note: This is the seventh part of a series highlighting Illinois gymnast Paul Ruggeri’s road to potentially qualifying for the 2012 London Olympic Games. Paul Ruggeri is fulfilled. It may have taken the senior Illinois gymnast an extra year, but he accomplished everything on his college checklist — more than any gymnast in program history. He was on an Illinois team that won four straight Big Ten titles, capping off its success with a national title last weekend, the first for the program in 23 years. His individual successes had come before that as he finished his career third on the Illinois all-time titles list, a nine-time AllAmerican, a four-time NCAA Champion and the 2012 Nissen-Emery Award winner, given to the most outstanding collegiate senior gymnast.

“When I was a freshman and sophomore I was incredibly grateful and lucky to have won the NCAA titles that I did,” Ruggeri said. “I spent the rest of my time at Illinois searching for that team title.” Ruggeri opted to redshirt and remain at Illinois an extra year when he got injured at the beginning of last season. He took an Olympic exemption, meaning he didn’t have to take classes because he was directly training for the Olympics. It was a tough decision, as many of Ruggeri’s friends were graduating. He’d be one of the oldest athletes on the team and he’d be pushing his dreams of becoming a doctor back even further. But he wanted to notch that last item off his checklist. He wanted to win a team crown. “This win really wouldn’t of been possible if I didn’t hurt myself,” Ruggeri said. “I think everything happens for a reason. I think I’m learning that slowly but surely in my life.”

Ruggeri said it was lucky that he was searching for a team title instead of individual accolades last weekend. He didn’t have his best performance, suffering falls on the high bar and performing a sub-par floor routine. He’s not sure exactly what it was — a mixture of nerves and excitement, or still being ill from a stomach virus. He still produced high enough scores to win a share of the NCAA title on the vault and take second in the parallel bars. It’s the level of gymnastics he’s throwing: complex skills with some of the highest start values in the country — high risk with high reward. Ruggeri knows he needs to evaluate the risk-reward ratio if he wants to accomplish his next goal: earning a spot on the 2012 Olympic team. He leaves in three days for national team training camp in Colorado

Whitney Mercilus, last season’s Ted Hendricks Award winner as the best defensive end in the country, is projected to go in the middle of the first round in Thursday’s NFL Draft. The 6-foot-4, 265-pounder took the time Tuesday to discuss the scouting report on Robert Griffin III, the NFL Scouting Combine and why he decided to forgo his senior year at Illinois.

The Daily Illini: Illinois is arguably the last team to have real success against Robert Griffin III. What’s the scouting report to stopping him? Whitney Mercilus: The thing is that you

have to be able to contain him, and he’s got great legs. He’s a track star also, so he’s able to apply his track knowledge to the football field, which makes him deadly. But he’s an accurate thrower, too, so you need to have corners to provide coverage and pressure from the D-line. Basically, it’s going to take a fullout defensive effort to stop the Robert Griffins.

We’re a lot better than we were last year, we’re doing well as a team, but I don’t think we’ve hit that big peak.”

DI: Who’s the best quarterback in this year’s draft? WM: I’m gonna have to go with my boy

Robert Griffin because I trained out there with him in Arizona. He’s a cool dude, so I’m pulling for him.

DI: How would you describe your style of play to someone who’s never seen you play before? WM: I’m crafty, I like to use a lot of

finesse moves. Also, I’m not afraid to go in there and take one for the team and go down in there and try to bowl over somebody. I like to switch it up between finesse and power.

that I could make football my career. It’s a slim chance. A lot of guys go from high school to play college and look to play in the pro scene, and I thought there would be that slim chance and I gave it my all.

DI: When you were younger, at what point did you know you were good — that football might be something you could make a career out of? WM: I honestly did not think at any point

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller (5) is sacked by Illinois' Whitney Mercilus (85) and Jonathan Brown (45) during a game against Ohio State on Oct. 15, 2011. The Illini lost 17-7.

DI: What’s the weirdest question that scouts asked you? WM: There’s never been any weird ques-

tion that was asked of me. At the combine, the only one I can think about is when we took our psychological tests, and that was whether you’re a cat or a dog.

DI: Is there a right answer to that question? WM: Yeah, you want to choose dog. A dog

is loyal, it will always obey orders and will do whatever is asked of him.

DI: When did you decide you were ready to leave for the NFL? See MERCILUS, Page 3B

Stats of 4 attractive free agent starters deserve another look SP Ross Detwiler, Nationals (36 percent, Yahoo)

GORDON VOIT Sports columnist

ttractive free agent starters are a dime a dozen in April, when small sample sizes inflate expectations and take owners’ eyes off the big picture. Here are four players whose hot starts merit a closer examination.

Yea SP Barry Zito, Giants (Owned in 36 percent of Yahoo leagues) The Number — 19.9 percent What’s more surprising — Zito trimming four-plus runs off his 2011 ERA or that the 33-year-old is doing it with what is essentially a new pitch? The 2002 AL Cy Young winner has broken out a stiff slider/cut fastball hybrid on 19.9 percent of pitches this season while cutting back drastically on his trademark fastball-curve tango. As a result, he’s jamming hitters at a high rate, as evidenced by his career-low 13-percent mark in line drive percentage. Zito’s strikeout rate is admittedly at an all-time low too, but that is as much a factor of his amended approach as it is a creaky arm. His pitch location is as tight as ever and he has allowed 44 percent fewer walks than in that magical ’02 ride. Bottom line — He’s adapting gracefully to his dipping velocity and the last time his infield fly ball percentage was this low, “Numa Numa” was the No. 1 viral video. He’s also riding off a small sample size (21.0 innings pitched) and a BABIP (batting average on balls in play) nearly 100 points lower than his career average of .267. He is indeed a solid replacement for a Jair Jurrjens or Doug Fister, but be mindful that those early returns on his new pitch repertoire will be mitigated when the surprise factor dulls.

The Number — 8.44 K per nine innings Detwiler is wheeling and dealing in his first full season in the majors with a 0.56 ERA and a career-high strikeout rate (above). He’s also due to lose his spot in the Nationals’ league-leading rotation once Chien-Ming Wang (hamstring) returns in two to four weeks. How that situation will play out is anyone’s best guess. Keep in mind that Wang hasn’t thrown 100 major league innings since 2007, so there figures to be plenty of opportunity for the fringe of the Nationals’ rotation. Bottom line — What we do know is that Detwiler is having a legitimately strong season and that electric arms find their way into lineup cards. Even in leagues of 10-12 owners, Detwiler merits an add, as many of his sabermetric vital signs (left on base percentage, home runs per fly ball percentage and strikeout to walk ratio) are strong.

Honorable mention SP Drew Smyly, Tigers (five percent, Yahoo) The Number — 15 strikeouts to just six walks Bottom line — The rookie phenom is manning the No. 4 spot of the Tigers’ rotation with Doug Fister on the 15-day DL. He’s managed a 1.13 ERA and 8.44 strikeouts per nine innings with healthy sabers, but the hot start is also aided in large part by his comically high 99 percentage of runners left on base. Keep a close eye on the Arkansas alum, but only that for the time being.

Nay SP Jake Westbrook, Cardinals (28 percent, Yahoo) The Number — 0.0 percent HR/FB This one’s a no-brainer.

Westbrook is due to have a slew of fly balls leave the park — meaning his ERA will balloon well above its current mark of 1.31. Plus, his three strong outings came against a trio of division opponents who are slugging in the low-to-mid .300s and he’s missing bats even less often than usual (lowest strikeout rate since 2003). Bottom line — Avoid Westbrook if you can, even in deeper leagues. He’s simultaneously leaving a high amount of runners on base and recording a near career-high in line drive percentage. If that doesn’t say statistical anomaly, then nothing does.

SP Kevin Correia, Pirates (three percent, Yahoo) The Number — .182 BABIP Correia is a guy who’s particularly siren-like at this time of year. He has an ultra-low ERA (1.50) and is available in nearly every league on Earth. Buyer beware, however, as that strong start is inflated by more factors than we have room for. For one, it’s a smallish sample size (12 IP) of an already small sample size of one month. He also hasn’t allowed a single home run. His ground ball to fly ball ratio is inflated by nearly 300 percent and his strikeout to walk ratio is an uninspiring 5:3. Bottom line — His jersey alone should scare owners away. Despite posting the sport’s second-lowest ERA, Pirates pitchers have struggled fantasywise thanks to an offense that ranks last in batting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage (25 points lower than No. 29!) and second to last in home runs. One bright spot: Correia’s fielding independent numbers point to a season that could merit a look in the deepest leagues. Still, there are too many other quality arms on waiver wires for a Correia add to make sense.

Women’s track gets ready for Big Tens Illinois to end regular season with 2 relay meets this weekend BY BOB MERLO STAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s track and field team will compete in its last regular season meets of the year this weekend. The Illini will send their top relay crews to Philadelphia for the Penn Relays. The rest of the squad will travel to Des Moines, Iowa, to compete in the Drake Relays. Both meets garner national attention, as high school, collegiate and professional divisions compete. “I just want to go out there and compete,” junior Marissa Golliday. “There’s going to be really good competition at these meets, and I just want to bring it.” The 4x100 and 4x400 meter relay squads featuring All-American freshman Ashley Spencer, senior Ashley Kelly, sophomore Breeana Coleman and freshman Asia Thomas will represent Illinois at the Penn Relays, facing Big Ten competitors Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State. “It will be exciting to see if we can get our main relays you run at the national championships, the 4x100 and 4x400, if we can get those times faster,” head coach Tonja Buford-Bailey said. The rest of the Illini will compete at the Drake Relays. Along with the 1,600-meter relay, the 3,200-meter relay team will have its first chance this season to compete in an official meet.

RUGGERI FROM PAGE 1B Springs, Colo. “Paul was even working on his floor routine today because he was mad he didn’t make finals,” Illinois head coach Justin Spring said Saturday. He’s not quite sure what will happen next year. Maybe he’ll continue working out and move to the Olympic Training Center, where he can now accept funding. Or maybe he’ll decide to take on medical school. Or maybe he’ll join Cirque du Soleil. Or maybe something completely different. The one thing he knows for sure: nothing will ever be the same as right now — training in Champaign under Spring with his entire team.

“We’ve got a pretty good 4x800 contingent, and we’re hoping we can get the school record (8 minutes, 44 seconds) in that event — that would be exciting,” BufordBailey said. The relay-style meets will help the Illini not only to polish their performances but also to get a sense of what to expect when they begin competing in larger meets starting May 11 at the Big Ten Championships. “This is a relay meet, so it’s really fun,” Buford-Bailey said. “It’s a chance to go in and feel like you’re in a team atmosphere because most of the events are relays.” With this weekend marking the end of the regular season, the Orange and Blue are rounding into postseason form, both on and off the track. “We all really start to come together because we are all really everywhere — field events, distance, whatever — but when it comes to Big Tens and things like that, we really try to incorporate with each other, and the spirit of STEVE LUNDY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS the team is just happy and ready Phoenix Coyotes' right wing Shane Doan, left, raises his arms after a Phoenix goal on Blackhawks' goalie Corey Crawford as the Coyotes defeated the to compete,” Golliday said.

a new system no matter what.

FROM PAGE 1B

DI: Explain the thought process with leaving early. How much of it is, “I’m ready to make noise in the NFL,” and how much of it is, “My draft stock isn’t going to ever be this high and this is the smart time to go”? WM: Well, there’s some guys

WM: I decided a few weeks

before my bowl game. I talked to my coaches and I talked to my parents, and they agreed and thought I was pretty much ready.

DI: What were some of the factors that went into that decision? WM: My coaches. That was a

major factor because my coaches, they have NFL ties and they understand what to look for in an NFL-caliber player. So going off of their assessment, they thought that I was pretty much ready. And the way I practice, there was no doubt that I could practice like the pros.

DI: How much did the coaching change affect your decision? WM: Not really a whole lot.

There’s really no difference. It’s either going to the NFL or staying back in Illinois and having a new coaching staff. It’s all the same. I would have to learn

who think about getting hurt. My draft stock was pretty high and whatnot, but that wasn’t really the reason I was focusing on. I could have came back and done the same thing. Going into the NFL, I’m just looking to prove to everybody that I’m not just a one-year wonder.

DI: How will your size affect what you do in the NFL? Do you plan on gaining weight to size up at all, or are you going to stick with the speedy route? WM: Definitely speed is everything, but the thing is I’m going to try to get to a weight where I can maintain that speed. ... Probably around 260 (pounds) because at the Com-

bine I moved pretty well at 260.

DI: How have your workouts changed as you transition into the NFL? WM: They haven’t changed too

much. Before the Combine, I was basically training for a marathon, with so many drills and the 40 and the vert and all that. But now it’s more specifically toward football and the football drills and playing like, speed-rushing or outside linebacker-type drills.

DI: How much do you think people should take stock into the Combine? There’s always the idea that, “How much do I really know about a player running around in shorts and not pads?” Do you think the Combine is a fair assessment? WM: It’s a fair assessment to

a certain extent. It shows you how well somebody moves, whether they’re flexible or not, and it also gives you a chance to see how speedy they are, too. But when you get pads on,

that’s the difference between being a football player and a track star.

DI: How has competing against Big Ten offensive linemen, especially teams like Wisconsin, which had a bigger line than the Green Bay Packers, prepared you for what to expect at the next level? WM: They’re huge, they weigh

more than the Packers. So that’s given me an idea of what the play is going to be like at the next level. I’m preparing to play against a lot of athletic guys who are heavier too. It’s given me some experience an idea of what I’m going to be facing.

DI: Who do you model your game after in the NFL? WM: I try to model my game

after — well, he’s more of a power guy but he’s also a little bit crafty — so maybe a little bit of a Dwight Freeney-type deal. DI: Which quarterback do you want to hit first? WM: There’s not a specific

quarterback I want to hit. I want to hit them all. ... Everybody at the next level is good. I just want to go against the best. So Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, whoever. It doesn’t matter.

DI: How about RG3? WM: Man, if I get the chance

to, I’m gonna have to. It’s part of my job.

DI: You’re going to be in Akron to watch the draft. What’s your party going to be like? WM: It’s not really going to be

a party. It’s going to be a little get together for close friends and family.

DI: Do you have rules with people calling you? You don’t want the line to be busy when a team’s trying to call. WM: I’m not going to have a

separate cell phone or anything. ... That day I’m just going to have everybody not call me and just focus on my family.

DI: Are you going to cry? WM: No, I’m not. I’m just going

to be happy and jumping around and hugging people. ... My mom probably will. We’ll see.

DI: Excited to play as yourself in Madden? WM: I actually hate Madden, but whoever wants to play as me on Madden, I hope I’m spectacular on the game.

DI: What kind of plans do you have for your degree at Illinois? WM: I plan on coming back next spring to finish it off and get it out of the way.

DI: When you see people like ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay picking and prying about you, does it make you think differently about them? WM: I don’t think differently

about them. They’re just doing their job, analyzing the pros and cons of each athlete. The thing is that I just take it as encouragement to see where I need to improve at and get better to play at the next level.

Blue

My math final. It’s gonna be pretty tough.

Blue because it’s my favorite color.

Alex Booker, sophomore, softball

I’m an RST major, so I think I’m pretty on top of all my finals.

I would have to be one of the blues. I had one of those sets of 5,000 crayons when I was younger where you never knew which blue made an actual royal blue. I would be one of those variations.

The one I’m not taking. I did credit/no credit a class, so I’m not taking (the final) anymore, so I’m pretty excited about that.

Gray. I just feel like that would be a fun color. I would last the longest.

Tennis seniors seek long-awaited postseason success BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

Marisa Lambropoulos had been in this position before. She was the last one left on the courts in a 3-3 tie with conference opponent Indiana, making her match the deciding one for the Illinois women’s tennis team. Only this time it was a little bit different. It was senior day, the last home match for Lambropoulos, Amy Allin and Chelcie Abajian . “It will be something I always remember,” Lambropoulos said. “During the match, it didn’t really occur to me that it was my last match (at home), but looking back it’s defi nitely going to stick out more than most matches.” She earned the match-clinching win in a close three-set match, just one more in her illustrious career. She wasn’t the only senior

to come up big that weekend, as two days later in the fi nal regular season match for No. 21 Illinois, it was Lambropoulos’ classmates who stepped up. Allin recorded the matchclinching singles victory, while Abajian notched wins in both singles and doubles to contribute to the Illini’s 5-2 victory over No. 29 Purdue. “It was extra special,” head coach Michelle Dasso said. “That it was senior weekend and to see them all have success because they all deserve it.” Lambropoulos, in her fi fth season with Illinois, redshirted last season because of a wrist injury, while Allin and Abajian are in their fourth and fi nal year. All of the seniors have a special bond with Dasso because they were the fi rst three scholarship players the coach signed after she was hired in 2007. Dasso inherited a 10th-place team

in the Big Ten, but knew the three would be the ones to turn it around. “To see how it has changed, what we started with and where we are now, it’s awesome,” Dasso said. “We’ve made so many strides because of them, and how they’ve changed the culture in the program.” Despite growing up outside Big Ten country, New York native Abajian and Texas-born Allin both decided to commit because of the coaching staff and the atmosphere of the program. “I felt welcome right away,” Abajian said. “Michelle said we had the chance to be a part of something special,” Allin added. The program’s revival started in 2008, coming off back-toback 10th-place fi nishes in the Big Ten. Then freshmen, Allin and Abajian made immediate

impacts to start their careers, each earning 26 singles wins that year to tie them for 13th best in school history. The team transitioned from Big Ten doormat to legitimate conference contender, placing fourth in 2008. “We’ve had some great teams,” Allin said. “Getting the team back to where we think we can achieve a lot because we know we can. We’ve all put in the work.” The next two years saw Illinois fi nish third, its best conference fi nish since 2004. Last year, however, was a rough season for the trio and the team. Lambropoulos was forced to redshirt because of a major wrist injury, while Abajian missed the fi nal 10 matches as a result of ankle injuries. Allin recorded a respectable year and was named secondteam All-Big Ten, but the Illini

struggled, rescinding back to fi fth in the conference. For Lambropoulos especially, it was hard for her not to graduate in 2011 and leave with her classmates, Annie McCarthy and Leigh Finnegan . “It was weird seeing them on their senior day,” Lambropoulos said. “Seeing them graduate and knowing that should be me was weird. But that senior day and this senior day went by in a fl ash.” The Illini fi nished third in the conference this season and have a fi rst-round bye in this weekend’s Big Ten Tournament, starting Thursday in Columbus, Ohio. It initially looked like Illinois could have been headed for another season of mediocrity. But when spring break hit, Dasso and the team declared the start of its “second phase of the season,” wiping the team’s record clean. Since then, the

Illini have won 11 of their last 12, including wins over No. 9 Texas, No. 25 Nebraska and No. 29 Rice. Although their time here is coming to an end, the seniors aren’t ready to be done with their careers. “With this team, we really see us going far in the Big Ten Tournament and NCAA tournament,” Abajian said. “I feel like we have a lot more tennis to go.” The Illini have their sights set on trying to make history and earn their fi rst Big Ten Championship. To do so, they have potential matchups to avenge their only regular-season losses to Michigan and Northwestern. “We want that Big Ten title,” Dasso said. “That’s something these girls have had their eye on for a while now.” Quite the impact on a program that just four seasons ago was a 10th place team.
