Campus smoke-free initiative postponed Enforcement date moved to January BY KAT BOEHLE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The smoke-free campus initiative that was unanimously voted on by four subcommittees has been postponed, pushing the enforcement date from November to January. Heather Horn, faculty cochair of the Faculty and Staff Well Being committee and Labor & Employee Relations employee, said the subcommittees realized the original date was at the end of November, only a few weeks before fi nal exams and project deadlines. “We thought it would be a tough time with students getting ready for finals,” Horn said. “We don’t want to make more stress.” Michele Guerra, director of the UI Wellness Center, also said this would be interrupting the college football season, a time when alumni visit campus and tailgate. She said it wouldn’t be fair if people were able to smoke at one game, but unable at the next. Guerra said the subcommittees decided January would be the best time for enforcement because it’s a new year and a new semester, and therefore, an appropriate time for a new policy. The enforcement date change also gives the subcommittees the entire fall semester to communicate and prepare students for the transition, Horn said. The four subcommittees, formed by Chancellor Phyllis Wise last October, include: Student Well Being; Faculty and Staff Well Being; Communications and Culture; and Facilities, Grounds and Property. The UI Wellness Center helped coordinate these subcommittees and is actively involved in decision-making. Each of these subcommittees have a faculty member and student, who together serve as co-chairs, in addition to staff and student members. Guerra said although they have been communicating with students about the transition through informational tables in the Activi-

“I think it’s kind of strange that the Assembly Hall will now be named as State Farm or after State Farm because we have known it for so long as Assembly Hall. It gives a whole new connotation to it because it seems like it’s owned corporately rather than it’s something owned by the University. ” ALISON GANKO, sophomore in ACES

“Overall, I think it’s going to be a good thing for the marketing of Assembly Hall. People will think like, ‘Oh, there is something new about it.’ Especially with the name of State Farm, that is so good with the University’s name. They will be able to come up with more sales and promotions off this name change.”

“In society nowadays, a lot of names are changing, and I guess it’s a representative of a certain trend toward businesses owning the meaning behind certain places. I honestly don’t care. I think the name changes have been going on forever. Change of names isn’t going to change the essence of it.”

The purpose of the evaluation is to determine whether the University will use TAP to prevent future phishing attacks.

URBANA-CHAMPAIGN SENATE

Proposal approved to combine journalism majors BY MEGAN JURKOWSKI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A proposal to reorganize and combine the news-editorial and broadcast journalism majors was approved at the UrbanaChampaign Senate meeting Monday. Students currently enrolled in news-editorial and broadcast journalism will be able to choose the unified major or graduate under the current distinctions according to the new proposal. The single new major would be a Bachelor of Science in Journalism, without distinction between news-editorial and broadcast. According to the proposal, the reorganization will create flexibility for the journalism pro-

gram and “give the program a name unencumbered by the outdated media labels and concepts.” This proposal follows other changes by universities such as Northwestern University, the University of Wisconsin and Ohio University in the journalism program. John Paul, lecturer in journalism, said he supports the proposal. “I think it is good to give students choices,” he said. “I think it makes their degree stronger.” The change is aimed at giving journalism students greater latitude in course planning. Students will no longer have some of the course restrictions required under the current majors.

However, concentrations within the journalism major will continue. Allowing students more flexibility to take courses in both concentrations, the journalism department hopes to better prepare students for “a rapidly changing journalism profession,” according to the proposal. “I feel combining broadcast and print is better in the long run,” said Molly Nagle, sophomore in Media. “However, since I’m on the broadcast side of things, it would be hard to share the same enthusiasm for print.” Eric Meyer, associate professor of journalism, teaches the Graphics and Design class, which next semester will be

renamed Multimedia Editing and Design. “Most changes have already happened in the class,” Meyer said. “The names of the classes have existed for a long time, but the subject matter has changed over time. The class has gradually put more emphasis on certain things due to changing requirements.” Besides renaming and renumbering certain classes to give students a more systematic approach to building their course schedule, the new curriculum would require journalism students to take six hours of economics classes. The proposal suggests Micro and Macroeconomics for all majors, which

currently only news-editorial majors are required to take. It was estimated that, after combining the majors, about 25 additional students would enroll in Macro and Microeconomics each semester, according to a letter included in the proposal. Colleen Schultz, director of undergraduate studies in the economics department, wrote in the letter that the influx of journalism students would not be a problem for the department of economics and the department anticipates being able to handle the additional demand on a regular basis.

Urbana-Champaign Senate votes on 8 proposals at last meeting BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

The Urbana-Champaign Senate fi nished its business for the academic year at its meeting Monday, voting on eight proposals to round out the year. The governing body approved the Institute of Universal Biology, a new organization funded by NASA. The institute will provide a place for professors of all different areas of biology to col-

laborate on biology outside the parameters of Earth. The senate recommended a new electronic communications policy to the provost. The new policy addresses electronic communication under the new Microsoft Lync phone system. The text of the policy will be changed by the Office of University Counsel before it can become the University’s offi cial policy.

A long-term project to update the language of the academic integrity portion of the Student Code was recommended by the senate after many professors said they have been noticing an increased amount of plagiarism lately. The text was changed to help make policies regarding students’ appeal cases more effective. Debate surrounded the recommendation in terms of the language of a few

of the changes, but the original text was passed after the body decided it was only a recommendation, rather than an official document. In his fi nal remarks to the senate, Chairman Matthew Wheeler honored Parliamentarian Ken Andersen, who has worked for the University for more than 40 years. Monday’s meeting was Andersen’s last before retirement.

Chancellor Phyllis Wise also honored Wheeler, who fi nished his term Monday. He will be replaced by current Vice Chair Roy Campbell. Wise applauded Wheeler’s work during his term and said he has demonstrated just how strong shared governance can make a University. Also at the meeting, Michael Andrechak, associate chancellor and vice provost for budget and resource planning, gave the sen-

ate an overview of the University’s fi nances and its business plan heading into the future. In his remarks to the senate, Senator John Kindt told the body that it needs to continue to follow news regarding pensions throughout the summer because of the battles currently going on in the state government.

Bike to Work Day encourages healthy lifestyles BY ARIELL CARTER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Champaign-Urbana is celebrating its fourth annual Bike to Work Day on Wednesday. Organizations involved in C-U Bike to Work Day are holding events through the month of May to celebrate National Bike Month, sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists. Amelia Neptune, bicycle coordinator for the University, said Bike to Work Day started in 2010 because other campuses were organizing events where citizens would be encouraged to walk or bike to work. On the day of the event there will be welcome stations in various places that will have breakfast and prizes for the riders. Neptune said since the event started, the number of people involved as well as its impact on the community has grown. “It’s a great community event,” Neptune said. “It’s nice to have a joint commitment from so many people in the community to work together.” Michele Guerra, UI Wellness Center director, said she thinks the event is a way to motivate people to try other forms of exercise besides the gym. Guerra referred to biking and walking to class or work as a “lifestyle activity.” “People can’t always make it to the gym,” Guerra said. “Whether they don’t have time, or the gym isn’t their thing, biking or walking to work or class is something they can do throughout their day, and they

Guerra said the policy would address things like the use of electronic cigarettes and the ritual use of tobacco for culture events on campus. The Student Well Being subcommittee is working on ways to communicate the various services and education for students looking to quit smoking. “We have discussed that the resources will need to include support programs and services to help students who want to quit be able to do that successfully,” Trish Anton, faculty cochair for the Student Well Being subcommittee and senior assistant director of Housing, said in an email. awill be students who will choose not to quit who will need help with strategies to get through their day while they are on campus.” The Faculty and Staff Well Being subcommittee is working to inform the University’s faculty and staff of these support services, as well. Services include those offered by McKinley Health Center, SmokeFree. gov and the Quit Line.

Champaign-Urbana will celebrate its fourth annual Bike to Work Day on Wednesday. don’t have to carve out time from their schedule.” Guerra also said lifestyle activities can burn just as many calories as moderate physical activity. Biking and walking to work can, Guerra said, offer health benefits such as a longer life span, a healthier heart and the avoidance of certain cancers and diabetes.

Guerra said this event is providing an alternative to those who want to be active, but don’t have the time. Walking or riding a bike on a daily basis has numerous health benefits. According to a study done by the British Medical Association, biking 20 miles a week can

reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 50 percent. Studies show cycling to work improves cardiovascular fitness by 3 -7 percent, according to Medical News Today. Guerra and Neptune said biking can improve mental health as well. They said physical activities along with being outdoors

helps stay relaxed. Noah Feingold, freshman in DGS, said he rides for health and for fun. He also rides his bike on campus because he likes to be on his own schedule. Feingold said he plans to participate in Bike to Work Day. “When I ride my bike, I don’t have to worry about buses or a

schedule,” Feingold said. “I can be as late or as early as I please.” Registration for the event can be done online or at one of the welcome stations all around Champaign and Urbana Wednesday.

Horn said they’re looking for ways to enhance and personalize these services to the University community. One of the services includes a serious of inspirational text messages that can be sent to those trying to quit smoking. Horn said they are looking at ways to supplement and enhance the program. Students are also eligible for six weeks of nicotine replacement therapy where they can work with a counselor and chose a smoking cessation method for that student, said Hannah Tomlin, a graduate assistant in the UI Wellness Center who works with the Student Well Being subcommittee. The Facilities, Grounds and Property subcommittee is working on a map of smoke-free and smoke-friendly areas. The University only owns about one-third of the streets on campus, the initiative will only apply to those areas. Guerra said the committee is also communicating with the city to determine a way to ensure students don’t smoke on personal property on campus. The Communications and Culture committee will notify students of the official policy, quitting resources and benefits of a smoke-free campus. “We know this will be an adjustment for campus,” said Kirsten Ruby, co-chair for the communications committee and assistant director of housing for marketing. “But we’re excited to create a healthy community for everybody.”

OFFICES

the cost to the University for this office is “relatively cheap.” “We are getting free space and free infrastructure support,” he said. “That is coming from our partner in India. ... We just started with some training programs for people in India, and they are expecting that they will be able to generate enough additional activity to cover these costs.” Chancellor Phyllis Wise said she sees these offices as an opportunity to strengthen the ties the University has with these countries. “The main reason why we would open an office is to enhance the collaboration between faculty, between faculty and businesses, between universities and universities, and between students and students,” Wise said. Mark Wolters, visiting assistant professor in the college of business, said he believes there

will be a number of benefits for the University and for students on campus and abroad once these international offices open. “A lot of students come from China, India and Brazil, so it’s good to have that connection there, and it also helps build a reputation and shows a commitment to these countries that says, ‘Look, we’re not just taking in Chinese students, we’re putting offices here because we want to develop our relationships with China and the Chinese business community,’” Wolters said. Wolters also said Shanghai, New Delhi and Sao Paolo are economic hubs of their countries, and the University wants to be at the source of new growth in the world economy in these countries. “Illinois has the 24th most respected reputation, which is higher than the London School of Economics,” Wolters said. “Some-

times it seems like Illinois has a better reputation outside the U.S. than inside the US, and for us to continue, that’s one of the things we do, we make those steps.” One of those steps is making connections with these countries. Khanna listed a number of benefits gained from having University representatives in these countries. He said these representatives will be a resource to the campus community in helping to establish international partnerships, creating new study abroad programs and supporting our students when they are abroad. “For us to be really successful in pursuing our mission, we have to be fully engaged with the best institutions internationally, and these offices are a tool for achieving that,” Khanna said.

Khanna said these offices will have one to two employees in each office. The University is conducting an open job search for the New Delhi office, but the office head will be a resident of India and, ideally, a University alumnus. Khanna said

PHISHING FROM PAGE 1A tricks users into divulging sensitive information, according to Proofpoint’s website. Proofpoint works to prevent this by analyzing a variety of factors, sometimes “hundreds of variables in real time.” Ross Wolf, senior in Engineering, said he wonders whether the service could potentially slow down email traffic and even cause the Proofpoint service to shut down if a large enough phishing attack were coordinated. “It takes more effort to evaluate an email than it does to

just send one,” Wolf said. “But because Proofpoint does this professionally, I doubt it is a legitimate concern. I’d assume Proofpoint has lots of redundancies and fail-safes in place.” Mertz said CITES is not sure if it wants to make a commitment to TAP until it is sure the service works against the phishing emails sent to Illinois accounts. “The point of the evaluation is to decide whether this is a product we want based on real data, instead of just going off of the vendor’s description of the product,” Mertz said.

We should celebrate those who brave intolerance

esterday, NBA free agent Jason Collins opened a new facet of cultural inclusion with a simple, blunt statement to Sports Illustrated: “I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay.” Collins is not the first openly gay athlete in pro sports, but he is on the wrong side of an inexplicable double standard that merely shrugs its shoulders at the sight of openly lesbian professional athletes. Openly lesbian athletes can be found across the spectrum of women’s pro sports organizations including the LPGA, WTA and WNBA. Some don’t even wait until they have established themselves in the pro sports world to come out. Top 2013 WNBA draft pick Brittney Griner publicly acknowledged she was a lesbian shortly after being drafted and few eyes were batted. With Collins’ coming out, the pro sports world has a chance to follow through on their work to create a welcoming, non-judgmental environment for Collins and other openly gay athletes that will follow his lead. Collins may be the first, but he will not be the last. He opened a door; the professional sports leagues’ jobs are to keep it from slamming shut. It doesn’t take a person of great skill to make the difference. Collins averaged about one point and one rebound per game with the Washington Wizards last year, averaging over three points and three rebounds in his career. He isn’t the best or strongest player, but his announcement should carry the same weight as any athlete. To persevere in a culture where coming out has not been the norm — and still is not — should be applauded no matter the skill level. After making his announcement, Collins has received a great deal of support. Twitter embraced the former Washington Wizard’s center yesterday. And more importantly, it is his peers and big-name athletes leading the charge, showing that the big-four, too, is embracing of a new culture for those who are openly gay. The lesson to draw from Collin’s decision is simple: Don’t let fear define you. Collins came out at age 33 after stating that he “endured years of misery and gone to enormous lengths to live a lie.” But he came to realize the only way to truly feel whole is to bite the bullet and get on with his life. Since coming out to his aunt and other family members, a prelude to yesterday’s announcement, things have turned out well for him. Admittedly, they don’t for everyone. Homophobia and intolerance are still present all over the nation, including on our campus. Gay slander, slut-shaming and racial epithets can be encountered on any given day during a walk down the Quad, while perusing University of Illinois Facebook groups or even when sitting in class. Truth is, no place you go will be completely tolerant of your life, whether you’re gay, proChief or an LAS major. And that’s just it: We shouldn’t live our lives how others envision it. There will always be obstacles, and the best way to minimize them is by acknowledging who you truly are and disproving stereotypes and labels. An accepting community starts with a brave soul willing to test the status quo, like Jason Collins did. It’s something that our culture can celebrate.

Affirmative action must end Tommy Heiser Opinions columnist

hen I applied to colleges four years ago, I immediately thought I was at a disadvantage. If I wanted to attend a top university, I couldn’t afford to be a mediocre student. I couldn’t afford not to participate in five different extracurricular activities and intramural sports. I had to do everything imaginable to stand out. I attended a predominately white, upper-class high school that most would consider privileged. Did it prevent me from getting into the college I wanted? No. Did it make it more difficult? Yes. A student with high merits at my school had a tougher time getting into this University, while students of a minority race benefited from affirmative action. I definitely wasn’t the only one who felt slighted. Looking back at it, I can’t imagine how much different the application process might have been if I had ticked off that Native American box or identified as gay or bisexual. For the latter point, does it matter? All for the sake of diversity though, so inclusion can be compared and advertised to competitors and prospective students. There is nothing wrong with promoting representation, but standards should not be sacrificed in order to increase diversity. Students should be admitted primarily based on merit. Affirmative action’s original purpose was to even the playing field. It was meant to be a quick fix — not permanent. When the Supreme Court overturned Brown vs. Board of Education in the 1950s, desegregation of schools was challenging to say the least. For example, in 1965 Governor Wallace of Alabama, an infamous anti-integrationist, refused Presi-

dent Johnson’s request to use the state’s National Guard to protect a planned civil rights march. President Johnson resorted to calling up the National Guard himself and sending in additional federal troops to guarantee the safety of the demonstrators. The great lengths and resources the federal government employed to protect civil rights protestors demonstrated the nation’s commitment to racial inclusion. The policies implemented thereinafter prove the success of our commitment to increasing diversity in schools and universities. The number of black students attending universities doubled in nearly a decade. Albeit, in 1978 the Bakke case brought forth a new problem of reverse discrimination. The Supreme Court found that states have a compelling interest to promote diversity through affirmative action programs. The root of the argument against such programs stems from this ruling; though, there are many forms of the argument. Black America is not the same now as it was then. The energy wasted on arguing affirmative action could be better spent on improving the education system and focusing on those at the bottom of the economic ladder. Affirmative action must come to an end. Race should no longer be used as a factor in the admissions process for the sake of diversity. If racial representation without discrimination is the true goal, then we should focus on minimizing the income gap between the socioeconomic classes. We are living in a period where growing income inequality has a larger impact on diversity than any other factor. Parents of wealth are focusing their resources more on early childhood development than the middle class and the poor. We have programs to tackle the gap between these classes, but we forget about the widening gap between the middle class and the rich.

Affirmative action programs do little to solve the structural inequalities minorities face. The argument for affirmative action in the 21st century is growing thinner day by day. The president of the United States is black, but he didn’t get there because of his race. Unfortunately, racial divide existed in all facets of life during the 20th century. Corporations, schools, sports and government were all guilty of severe segregation. And this is why it is particularly difficult to move past. In 2006 Michigan voters passed a law with 58 percent of the vote that bans publicly funded colleges from granting “preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.”However, a federal appeals court found this ban unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is preparing to release an opinion on Wednesday. The question we are faced with today, and one that former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor understood well, is whether affirmative action programs have met their goal of furthering diversity in universities. Justice O’Connor said in 2003, “The court expects that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today.” However, the rapid increases in social connectedness has reached unprecedented levels. It has undoubtedly contributed to a growing acceptance of our differences where inclusion is no longer unnatural, but quickly becoming the norm. Our priorities and programs stuck in the past must be eliminated. O’Connor’s 25-year timeline should reflect a fluid society such as the present.

Be aware of your own ignorance sarah Fischer Opinions columnist

our Ph.D. is a nipple on the surface of human knowledge. That’s how blogger and NASA researcher Leila Battison describes the amount of knowledge accumulated during the years that a student spends pursing a doctoral degree. Her definition stems from Matt Might, professor of computer science at the University of Utah, who came up with his own definition of what a doctoral degree is back in 2010. His goes something like this: Imagine a circle. That circle contains all of human knowledge. Once you’ve finished elementary school, you know a little bit, so a very small portion of the center of the circle gets colored in. It’s broad, and in every subject. Same for middle school, where the circle grows a little more. Same for high school. With a bachelor’s degree, especially at a liberal arts college, another ring gets added, with a little bump that becomes your “specialty” (biology, English, math, history, etc.). A master’s degree furthers that specialty. Pursing a Ph.D. pushes you to the circle itself, the limit of human knowledge. “You push at the boundary for a few years until one day, the boundary gives way, and that dent you’ve made is called a Ph.D.” Might accompanies his description

with a series of pictures, and after illustrating the Ph.D., after breaking the wall of that initial circle, he pulls back, revealing this tiny, almost invisible bump protruding from the exterior of the circle. That’s what you know. That bump. Now — most of us graduating in May — we aren’t at that level yet (to those of you earning your Ph.D., congrats). We’re at that bachelor’s level, that level where we haven’t even reached the edge of human knowledge in a single specialty, let alone on a larger scale. For me, that’s a problem. I’m looking forward to graduating, and I’m looking forward to starting my master’s program in the fall. I have friends starting jobs, moving across the country, and I know they are looking forward to those journeys as well. But I’m worried about those migrations. I’m worried, class of 2013, that we’ll forget just how little we really know. Not that we’ll forget what we’ve learned in our undergraduate adventure here at the University of Illinois (though I’m sure some of us will), but that we’ll forget that all of that information — those four years of study — doesn’t actually amount to much. I don’t say this to scare us or to diminish our accomplishments. Less that 30 percent of Americans have a bachelor’s degree, and even fewer can call themselves alumni of the 56th best school in the world. The problem is we’ve accumulated a large amount of knowledge in a very small area. Now, that amount

of information isn’t a bad thing, quite the opposite. But I’m worried that we’ll stop now. That we’ll say, “That’s it; I’m out.” That we’ll revile education. That we won’t strive to learn more. To stop now, to say, “I’ve gotten that degree, on to next one” or, “On to the real world,” disserves us. We can’t live up to our potential if all we’ve got is dramatically tiny knowledge about women in American literature after 1945 or media conglomeration or a subset of biomechanical engineering. We can’t just stop now. We have to keep searching for knowledge. Greek philosopher Socrates operated on the idea that he knew nothing, and strove his entire life to find someone wiser than himself. That search drove his interactions with poets, philosophers and politicians. Socrates encountered poets who could shape words but not understand them, politicians with wisdom but no knowledge, and remained aware of his own ignorance. This is what I want for us, class of 2013. Awareness of ignorance. Not acceptance of ignorance, but recognition of ignorance. I want us to know that even as we grasp that diploma, the vast landscape of human knowledge remains unknown to us. I want us to keep our academic spirit strong as we leave the halls of Lincoln and Foellinger. We don’t even know what we don’t know. But we should want to.

he Renaissance man is heralded in our history books. From a young age we learn about the tremendous achievements of people like Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo da Vinci, whose multidisciplinary capabilities were quintessential in creating our modern society. However, in a world that encourages specialization, it is easy to lose the “Renaissance” perspective. As college students, it is our duty to pursue depth in multiple areas for the sake of sparking the innovative ideas that will drive our future. I once had it explained to me as follows: Imagine a long horizontal line representing every category of knowledge that there is (e.g. physics, art history, music). Then draw down from each of those categories a vertical line that represents your depth of knowledge in that subject. As students who are pursuing specific degrees, our diagrams are all becoming T-shaped as we gain substantial depth in a single discipline. The idea behind being a Renaissance thinker is that you can gain depth in a variety of areas in addition to your area of focus. This changes the diagram from a T-shape to a more complex shape, and it is from those multiple strands of knowledge that new ideas are formed. Countless products owe their origins to the combination of seemingly unrelated ideas. For instance, modern chewing gum was invented by an accountant at a rubber company who experimented with gum recipes in his free time. Cornflakes were the result of the joint effort between entrepreneur Will Keith Kellogg and his brother, an M.D., who together were able to create a nutritious cereal that was also enjoyable to eat. Post-it notes were made possible when a 3M employee, frustrated with his hymnal bookmarks always falling out at church, thought to apply a colleague’s new adhesive substance to create a bookmark that would stay in place. The list goes on and on. This is why having multidisciplinary expertise is critical to the future success of our society. Companies realize this, and thus employers seek to hire candidates who demonstrate skills outside of their specific job function. According to the “Twenty-First Century Workplace Trends Study” by Joseph Boyett and David Snyder, “We are seeing rapid growth in the use of cross-functional, multidisciplinary teams with globally and ethnically diverse memberships. Already, one-third of American companies with fifty or more employees have half or more of their employees working in self-managed or problem-solving teams.” This requires prospective employees to not just be experts in their fields, but also to carry on the roles of managing and collaborating with others. To better communicate with people from other fields, it helps to have some knowledge about where those people are coming from. There is no better time than college to build this Renaissance perspective. English majors should wrestle with math problems, premed students should dabble in finance, and engineers should ponder the works of Shakespeare. We should make an effort to explore additional areas of study even if they are not required by our own colleges. In addition, finding something you are passionate about — be it a Registered Student Organization or just a hobby, regardless of your major — is important because it gives you a unique outlook on the world that may separate you from everybody else. Along with finding your place in the job market, exploring a variety of disciplines leaves the possibility for you to take your life in a new direction that you may never have thought about before. Ronald Reagan, for instance, started out his career as an actor appearing in more than 50 films before turning to politics. Humans are inherently complex creatures, and to think that you can define yourself solely by a major listed in the University’s course catalog is foolish. Instead of focusing on solidifying a specific career path, we should strive to pursue all of our passions, and let the culmination of everything work itself out later. This is essential to attaining substantial growth as a society and as individuals.

This week’s Dish of the Week is Crane Alley’s buffalo sandwhich and sweet potato fries. Crane Alley is located in downtown Urbana and also has a bar and pool tables.

Crane Alley offers beer, fine dining atmosphere By Stephanie Kim Staff Writer

Tucked along downtown Urbana’s West Main Street lies a hidden gem of the restaurants and bar scene of ChampaignUrbana: Crane Alley. Boasting the most extensive beer selection in the area, this restaurant succeeds in providing an environment that blends class and relaxation. In 2003, owner Scott Glassman opened the restaurant with a vision that incorporated pool, fine dining and beer. By blending the styles and flavors of numerous cultures, Glassman tries to create unique dishes that can satisfy the taste buds of each customer. One of those dishes is the BBQ Burger, made with a handmade beef patty, cheddar cheese and bacon strips sandwiched between two soft buns. “We try to make simple things good,” said head chef Bradley Ledbetter. Though it is simple in nature, this “standard burger” manages

to accomplish a difficult feat: containing the right amount of flavor, tenderness and juiciness without overwhelming one’s palette. In this respect, the BBQ Burger is far from simple. Customers are given the option of having a side of French fries or sweet potato fries. Either side enhances the taste of the burger, adding an extra kick of saltiness. John Ahn, senior in LAS, first tried the burger last fall. “The simplicity of the burger is probably what drew me in after looking at the menu,” Ahn said. “I knew I wanted a burger, but the barbecue sauce and thick cut bacon sold me. In a time where ketchup is so overrated, barbecue sauce never fails me.” Ahn also enjoyed the restaurant’s environment, that added to his dining experience. “Crane Alley offered the upscale atmosphere and dark lighting that is hard to come by with so many campus oriented places in C-U,” he said.

Ledbetter claims the restaurant differs from other restaurants and bars in ChampaignUrbana because of its relaxing environment, top-notch service and variety of beers, cuisine and events. This notion resounded with customers John Meyer, junior in Engineering, and Lauren Smith, junior in Business. They expressed positive feedback for the “good food” and “good prices” Crane Alley provides. Smith especially noted their exceptional service. “(The service is) really great. They refilled our waters multiple times, so they’re here to help us out,” Smith said. With three separate seating arrangements (the open bar, balcony and corner tables), menu options ranging from burgers to steak, pool tables as entertainment and the low hum of classy music, Crane Alley is appropriate for any laid-back occasion.

The Marketplace Fairness Act is a bill that, if passed, will establish a sales tax for online purchases in an attempt to level the playing field between local businesses and online retailers. This may cause some people to be outraged, as the Internet has always been the safe haven for bargains, but this is precisely the reason why Congress is entertaining the idea. Smaller businesses have had an increasingly difficult time competing with online vendors. The Marketplace Fairness Act would help close the

Once more users begin to use Cloudy, the userexperience will become more personalized and they will begin to see their friends and family reviewing businesses. Cloudy also shows users places they can go, allows them to bookmark places they’d like to visit, and prompts them to visit places that match the restaurants they’ve already liked. To make the application popular, Shah said he will be enlisting his friends to place flyers around campus and review the local restaurants and bars they regularly visit. He hopes these strategies will gain the attention of students and give them a positive experience once they try Cloudy. “The real basis (of our efforts)

is trying to create that virality effect,” Shah said. “What you are going to see in terms of marketing for the future is seeing Cloudy become visible on campus.” As for the functionality of the application, Shah said Cloudy is extremely user-friendly. First, the application connects to users’ Facebook account so that they can see which of their Facebook friends have already downloaded the application. If their friends have not yet downloaded the app, they can invite them. Then, there are three simple actions that go into reviewing a restaurant, bar or venue: “Search, Check In and Review.” The process involves a user finding a business, checking in on the application once they arrive at the business and then posting a review.

collecting taxes will only create more work for them. They argue that the logistical problems that would spring from collecting sales taxes for the estimated 9,600 local and state taxing authorities in the United States would be a nightmare. Some larger retailers, such as Amazon and Wal-Mart, have shown support for the act as they have the resources to cope with these new requirements, but the problem remains for smaller businesses. However, this will not be an issue as merchants with under $1 million in annual sales will be exempt from this act. Unlike CISPA, the Market Place Fairness Act will present no danger to our online rights and privacy. In fact, it is one of the more sensible solutions to our current national deficit that does not negatively affect other essential programs such as NASA.

KENDALL MCCAUGHERTY THE DAILY ILLINI

Piano Man BY JOLIE HUANG STAFF WRITER

any given Tuesday night, when standing on the corner of Goodwin avenue and Oregon street in Urbana, anyone listening closely can hear the faint echoes of piano music cascading out of the Canopy Club. If listening very closely, maybe even the distant audience renditions of out-of-tune singing. This is the Piano Man’s home turf, and Tuesday nights are his night to shine. Started in 2008 by Shay Thiele, Piano Man Tuesdays at the Canopy Club was a tradition that centered around playing enjoyable, popular music for audience members to sing along to. When Thiele left the gig in 2012 to become a minister, Ben Montalbano, senior in FAA, took over. When Montalbano fi rst started, he decided to make changes to the set list, which have since become crowd favorites. “Shay and I just approached the gig totally differently,” Montalbano said. “I started playing classical music when I learned piano, so I had to pick up a ton of hit, pop songs. But Shay was just amazing — he was like a walking song book.” Other differences between the two

are the rituals Montalbano has during performances. For example, he always takes three tequila shots while performing “Tequila” and, of course, makes sure to play Billy Joel’s “Piano Man.” This year, he also decided to add a band for part of his performances. This supporting ensemble, made up of his talented jazz musician friends, consists of drums, guitar, bass, saxophone, fiddle, tenor saxophone, trumpet and a vocalist who usually play from 11 p.m. to midnight with Montalbano. However, this Tuesday will be Montalbano’s last performance. Though the Canopy Club is auditioning for a new Piano Man, Tuesday could be their last Piano Man show if they don’t fi nd a replacement. “I go to Piano Man Tuesday every couple of months, and I’ve always had so much fun because you can sing along or dance,” said Jackie Zhou, sophomore in LAS. “Ben is just absolutely wonderful and I don’t think it’ll be the same without him.” After his time at the University, Montalbano will be heading to the San Fran-

cisco Conservatory of Music to continue his studies in music composition. “I just want to continue writing good music. Most people call the stuff I write ‘art music,’ which is basically classical music,” he said. “But I’d love to just keep doing that for the rest of my life.” No matter what he ends up doing, Montalbano knows that music will always be in his life. “I couldn’t ever remember not being a musician. I know it’s a part of me and always will be,” he said. Montalbano said he will make sure his last show is memorable. Though he didn’t want to give away the unique acts he and his band have planned, he did hint that he would be playing some popular mash-ups. Auditions for a new Piano Man will be at 9 p.m. at the Canopy Club on Tuesday and are open to the public to watch. Montalbano will begin his last show of the semester at 10 p.m. and his supporting band will join him at 11 p.m.

A new iPhone application, Cloudy, allows users to connect online with friends and family by sharing their opinions about the restaurants, bars and venues they’ve visited. Mark Davis, one of three Cloudy co-founders, said the key concept behind Cloudy is to give users access to opinions regarding restaurants, bars and venues from their own social network, rather than from “random peo-

ple on the Internet.” “A review on a bar, restaurant, movie, car, etcetera is so much more meaningful and trustworthy than someone you have no connection to whatsoever,” Davis said in an email. Davis is responsible for the programming of the iPhone app and the Cloudy Inc. website. He said the idea of creating the app came to him when he was a student at Washington University in St. Louis. Davis said he thinks it’s easier to learn from friends about great bars or restaurants, rather than sifting through hundreds of Yelp reviews that lack any social context.

During the application’s early development, Davis said it was difficult to step back from the project and try to view the product as a consumer who had never heard of it. To gain a fresh perspective on the application, Davis said the team tried getting out of the office and talking to potential users. “We’ve fortunately been met with a lot of positive feedback, as well as some critiques, that have led directly to improvements in the app,” Davis said. While the original version of Cloudy was more of a “polling application” that allowed users to see what their friends thought

about a certain subject, Davis said that Cloudy 2.0, which was launched in February of this year, narrowed the general search to focus on opinions of bars and restaurants. “We noticed that throughout mid-2012 that most users of this new Cloudy seemed to be searching for and asking about things related to places — restaurants, bars, etc.,” Davis said. “So late last year we moved in the direction of focusing exclusively on places.” Davis, along with fellow cofounders Will Johnson and Chris Lo, also recruits “ambassadors” from universities to spread the

word about the app in attempts to increase the number of collegestudent users. Milan Shah, freshman in Business, is one of more than 30 ambassadors for the company. He said he loves how Cloudy combines the idea behind websites such as Yelp and FourSquare and adds a “Facebook aspect.” “Basically, Cloudy is a review base for your friends, and the friends of your friends,” Shah said. “What makes the app unique is that the reviews you read will be relevant to you, since the users are your friends and family — the people you

interact with on a daily basis.” Shah’s job as a campus ambassador is to spread the word about the application to different campuses in Illinois. He says he hopes people will begin recognizing Cloudy’s growth on campuses and its value as an innovative application. “Right now the application is free, and the real beauty of it is that the more people who are on (Cloudy), the more valuable it becomes,” Shah said. “That’s why we are really focusing on attacking campuses around the area, so that people will begin to see their friends on the app.”

State Farm deal excites coaches for future University, insurance corporation reach $60 million, 30-year agreement to change name of Assembly Hall By Johnathan Hettinger Staff writer

Assembly Hall will get a new name to go along with its new look. Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas announced Monday that, effective immediately, Assembly Hall will be known as the Statae Farm Center. The University and State Farm agreed to a $60 million, 30-year deal for the naming rights. The arena has been known as Assembly Hall since it opened its doors 50 years ago on March 2, 1963. “In the world of college athletics, State Farm is a five-star recruit,” Thomas said. The new facility is expected to benefit both the men’s and women’s basketball programs. “It’s a program-changing event,” men’s basketball head coach John Groce said. “To do things you haven’t done, you have to do things you haven’t done before. In college athletics, you’re either moving on an upward

trend, or you’re staying the same. I tell my players that if you’re staying the same, you’re really getting worse because those people on an upward trend are passing you by, and I think in this case, for us to get to where we want to go, to restore and renovate this iconic building for the multi-purposes that it’s used for, it’s a huge, huge step in the right direction.” Women’s basketball head coach Matt Bollant has had a mock-up of the new renovations in his office since fall. The first thing he does when he has a recruit on campus is show them the images of the renovated arena. “It’s that big of a deal to recruits that we show it to them right away and let them believe that this is going to happen, and Monday is a big step toward that,” he said. Although Groce said he wasn’t sure what he thought the fanbase would think of the new name, he said it should help liven up the program. “It creates excitement,” he said. “It’s just another statement that State Farm has made with Illinois

that we’re moving this (renovation) forward. This is a reality. We’re getting closer. We’re taking steps in the right direction.” Groce said he was excited about the partnership. “Not only did we have the naming rights part of the equation filled today, it’s filled by State Farm. That’s a big deal. Their brand is unparalleled,” he said. In light of the 50-year anniversary, a student referendum for a $25-per-semester fee was passed in March to help fund the renovations to Assembly Hall. The fee will last 30 years and fund roughly 17 percent of the $160 million renovation. Thomas said in March that 75 percent is expected to be funded by donors. Construction on Assembly Hall will take place from March 2014 to November 2016. Thomas has previously said that basketball seasons will not be affected.

harsh reality By Johnathan Hettinger Staff writer

The Illinois volleyball team is hoping to go far in the NCAA tournament this fall, but it’ll have to travel far this summer to prepare. The Illini will conclude their organized practices for the offseason with an international trip to Italy from May 24 to June 2 to face off against a host of Italian teams, including the Italian junior national team. After the trip, coaches can no longer have contact with players until the fall season. “I think it’ll be a good experience for bonding and seeing a new culture,” outside hitter Liz McMahon said. “We’ll be experiencing something new together, and the competition is going to be really good.” Head coach Kevin Hambly said he was excited about the level of competition in Italy. The Illini will be facing older players with a wealth of experience from many years on the court. “I expect that we’ll be challenged every match on the trip,” Hambly said. “We could potentially lose every single match on the trip.”

In addition to the skill level of the opponents, the teams will play a different style than the Illini are used to playing. The European te a ms a re notor ious for bei ng ex t remely fundamental and don’t use speed or tempo to create chances. They rely more on traditional high balls to the outside hitters and try to “tool the block,” which means to hit the ball at the block in such a way that it deflects out of bounds for a point. While playing against a different style could be a bit of a culture shock to some, the Illini are already used to that type of play and feel confident going into the matches. “We’re more similar to a European team than some other teams we might play,” Hambly said. “It comes from my overall love of international volleyball

Illinois' Kersten Magrum clenches her fists after Illinois scored a basket in a win over Wisconsin at Assembly Hall on Feb. 18. Magrum was medically disqualified from basketball.

After 4 concussions ended her career, Kersten Magrum must move on with life

hat do you do when all your future plans come crashing down? When Kersten Magrum took the court at the Value City Arena on Jan. 6 to face Ohio State, she had no idea it would be the last time she would wear her orange No. 44 Illinois jersey. She didn’t know it would be her final game of competitive basketball. A year earlier, on Jan. 8, 2012, Magrum played the best game of her Illini career. She made her first seven shots and scored 20 points. She was well on pace for her career high of 24 points, but with 11:13 remaining in the game, the 6-foot-1 Magrum went up for a defensive rebound and was elbowed in the head by 6-foot-2 Badgers forward Anya Covington, jolting Magrum’s brain into her skull. She collapsed, disoriented. The trainer took her into the locker room and decided, for safety’s sake, she shouldn’t go back in. The injury was her first concussion. At the time, Magrum had no idea what the next year would be like. She didn’t know the pain she would go through. How could she?

But here she was — 364 days and four concussions later — unknowingly suiting up for the last time. Magrum, perfectly healthy one year prior, was about to be finished with basketball forever. *** She swears she never used to get injured. In high school, Magrum never suffered from a serious injury. Her three siblings, all college athletes, never suffered any serious injuries, either. The trend continued through her freshman year at Illinois. Magrum played in all but three games, missing them due to coach’s decisions. But during her sophomore year, Magrum got her first taste of injury. A stress fracture in her foot limited her to three games that season. But she was granted a medical redshirt. Despite sitting out for most of the year, she would have three more seasons of eligibility. But Magrum’s first concussion happened on that fateful January night during her second attempt at a sophomore season. The second concussion happened just two weeks later. Magrum missed nine games between

the two concussions but was able to return for the season’s final two games. Following the season, Green Bay’s Matt Bollant was hired to replace thenhead coach Jolette Law. The clean slate for the women’s basketball team could provide Magrum with a nice reset on an injury-riddled career. Despite the fresh start, Magrum was still undersized in the post, and in October, 6-foot-4 teammate Kierra Morris elbowed Magrum in the head, increasing her concussion total to three. Each concussion was more painful. Each blow required longer recovery time. The effects were staying with Magrum longer and longer. In the second game of the season, Magrum dislocated her shoulder, and she missed three games. She was back two weeks later with a bulky bandage on her shoulder. She was determined to play. “Knowing the way that I play, I wouldn’t say I’m the safest player in the world,” she said, “but I pretty much go hard, and there’s no way to not play that way.”

See Magrum, Page 3B

“Honestly, the hardest part is the daily struggle. It’s not being able to get over the fact that you have concussions and not only living with that, but then having to move on with life.” Kersten Magrum, former Illini women’s basketball player

Brooklyn Nets dominate Bulls, look to tie series in Game 6 on Thursday by BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Flourishing instead of fading in the fourth quarter, the Brooklyn Nets extended their first season in Brooklyn. They need one more victory to set up the biggest game here yet. Brook Lopez had 28 points and 10 rebounds, Deron Williams added 23 points and 10 assists, and the Nets beat Chicago 11091 on Monday night, cutting the Bulls’ lead to 3-2 in their firstround playoff series. Recovering from a collapse two days earlier that sent them home on the brink of elimination instead of tied, the Nets battered the Bulls on the boards and forced Chicago

into being the team that wilted down the stretch. “We came out very aggressive, as we have the past few games. I think the difference was just we sustained it for essentially a full 48 minutes tonight,” Lopez said. Andray Blatche scored 10 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter and Gerald Wallace had consecutive baskets in the finishing surge as the Nets finally pulled away in a game they led most of the way, but never by too much. Two days after rallying for a 142-134 triple-overtime victory, the Bulls were outscored 15-1 at the finish and failed to set up a second-round series with Miami. Instead they will host Game 6 on Thursday.

“It was just a lot of mental mistakes. A lot of mental mistakes,” Bulls center Joakim Noah said. “I feel like we had our chances. We beat ourselves. They played well. You’ve got to give credit when credit is due and now it’s on us to come back and be ready for Game 6.” If the Nets win that one, they would host Game 7 on Saturday. Nate Robinson had 20 points and eight assists starting in place of point guard Kirk Hinrich, who bruised his left calf in Saturday’s game. “For us, I knew it was going to be tough; it was going to be a challenge,” Robinson said. “At the same time, we’ve been here before playing with a guy short. It’s

something we’ve got to do. We’ve just got to muster something and bring that energy and continue to play like we’ve been playing.” Only eight NBA teams have overcome a 3-1 deficit, but the Nets remained confident after Saturday’s collapse, feeling they had outplayed the Bulls for long stretches during the series. They have led by double digits in four of the five games. “I believed that we would respond,” Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo said. “We’ve bounced back all year too well, and as disheartening a loss as that was on Saturday, there’s still been enough good minutes in this series. Neither of us are getting away from each other.”

But they need two more wins against a Bulls franchise that is 12-0 all-time when holding a 3-1 lead. Robinson scored 29 of his 34 points after the third quarter Saturday in a game the Nets led by 14 late in regulation. Coming off his big game and agitating to opposing fans even when he’s struggling, Robinson was loudly booed during introductions, and each time he touched the ball early on. He made a jumper with 4:17 remaining to cut Brooklyn’s lead to 95-90, but there would be no charge this time. Lopez converted a three-point play, and after a free

Baseball to play midweek game vs. Southern Illinois by jeff kirshman staff writer

The Illini know it’s all about the Big Ten. They remember being the odd man out of last season’s Big Ten Tournament after a three-way tiebreaker decided their fate, giving the spot to Ohio State and prompting the Big Ten to change its tiebreaking procedures. Games within the Big Ten will ultimately decide the Illini’s postseason fate, yet they have to shift gears against Missouri Valley Conference opponent Southern Illinois on Tuesday before beginning a crucial series against Michigan State starting Friday. The Illini (26-13, 8-7 Big Ten), owners of the Big Ten’s secondbest RPI ranking behind Indiana (34-8, 11- 4), have placed a premium on winning conference games, and will look to avoid a midweek letdown like they did against Eastern Illinois earlier in the month. Against Northwestern over the weekend, the Illini outscored the Wildcats 20-10 behind a 2.03 combined ERA by their pitchers with 26 strikeouts and five walks, winning the second two games of the series after dropping Friday’s opener 4-3 in 13 innings. Currently tied for the sixth and final Big Ten Tournament spot in the standings with Michigan, Illinois needs to continuously win series if it’s going to qualify.

Johnson progressing after day off Illinois hopes it will enter Friday’s matchup against the Spartans on a three-game winning streak. From there, No. 1 starting pitcher Kevin Johnson is expected to make his first start in two weeks after missing Friday’s start against the Wildcats due to soreness in his forearm. The Illini insist sitting Johnson was a precautionary measure for their ace, who is 6-2 in 10 starts this season with a 2.45 ERA. “I’d rather be healthy for the rest of the season than fight through something I’ve been dealing with,” Johnson said. “My arm feels great now. That one week off is going to help a lot.” Shortstop Thomas Lindauer, who went 3-for-5 with two runs scored Saturday and 1-for-3 on Sunday, said midweek games like Tuesday’s can prove particularly difficult as the season winds down and final exams become more of a reality. “It shouldn’t be, but sometimes it is,” Lindauer said. “We’re worried about other things, but when we get to the park we’re able to settle down and play.” The pressure provided by the Illini’s current standing in the conference should keep them focused through the rest of the

Thomas Lindauer bats during the last game of the series against Northwestern at Illinois Field on Sunday. Lindauer said playing midweek games can be difficult especially with finals looming.. season. Lindauer alluded to similar pressure following Friday’s extrainnings loss, to which Illinois responded by winning the next two games to secure the series. The Illini took three games from the Salukis (20-23, 3-12 Missouri Valley Conference) early in the season, including two extra-innings affairs that featured fortuitous errors by Southern in Game 2 and clutch hitting by Brandon Hohl and Michael

Hurwitz in Game 3. Illinois freshman J.D. Nielsen will take the mound for the first start of his college career Tuesday, but Hartleb expects a number of pitchers to take the mound for the Illini, including Nick Blackburn and Reid Roper, who didn’t throw against the Wildcats over the weekend. Grabbing a win against Southern will be key to continuing Illinois’ momentum heading into a

crucial three-game series against Michigan State, which starts Friday in East Lansing. “I think guys should be excited to play every single day,” Hartleb said. “Sometimes with athletes you do have a letdown, and it’s something we talk about, but in my mind you either come to play or not.”

POINT-COUNTERPOINT DHs give AL competitive advantage; rule should be eliminated to unify leagues Alex roux Sports columnist

ere we are at the end of April. At this point in the MLB season, fans have already had interleague matchups, usually reserved for mid-May at the earliest. The American League pennantfavorite, Los Angeles Angels, have already played the Cincinnati Reds of the National League. My Chicago Cubs have faced the Texas Rangers at Wrigley Field for the first time since 2002. Due to the Houston Astros switching leagues and making their AL debut this spring, MLB has adopted a more balanced interleagueplay schedule, rather than cramming interleague play into May and June. This balanced schedule has left the majors with a very unbalanced set of rules regarding the designated hitter. As a National League fan, I believe the time has come to do away with the DH. The DH was introduced in the American League in 1973, long before the 1997 season, when AL and NL teams began meeting in the regular season. So yes, big league managers have had to deal with these interleague headaches for 16 full seasons now. We’ve all seen DHs forced to play the field with dusty gloves and pitchers forced to fend for themselves at the plate that haven’t stepped in the box since the dead-ball era. Lineups can also get dicey in the NL, where managers have to scan their benches for an extra

slugger that usually isn’t there. Until now, these early season nuisances have often been brushed off as quirks of the game. Now, with the Astros’ move to the AL forcing this even schedule, say it with me: Houston, we have a problem. It’s not difficult to point out the hypocrisy in the current DH situation. Imagine if NBA commissioner David Stern decided he is sick of watching Dwight Howard and Blake Griffin brick free throws night after night. After all, it’s bad for the game, right? Fans want to see points. He would choose to institute a new rule in the NBA: For any Western Conference game, each team can choose one player to shoot free throws or a “designated shooter” the come into play when a weak shooter goes to the line. Then we would have players like Steve Nash shooting for Howard, or Chris Paul relieving Griffin. But it’s OK. Western Conference house, Western Conference rules, right? No one would ever stand for an change like this, which highlights the flaws of the DH rule. Designated hitters also give the American League the advantage of claiming high-value players, as they will have longer use for big sluggers late in their careers, being able to pay them more money as a result. When 33-year-old first baseman Albert Pujols signed a 10-year, $240 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels in late 2011, they topped the St. Louis Cardinals’ offer by roughly $40 million. Why could they do that? Because theoretically, they could still have him suiting up as a DH when his contract expires in 2021. It would

take a super-human effort for Pujols to stay efficient at first base in the National League for the same amount of time, so it’s only natural for big sluggers like him and Prince Fielder to seek safety with American League teams. This slugger migration to the AL undoubtedly takes even more run production away from a National League that features pitchers hitting several times a game. Like many midwestern kids, I played baseball growing up. Throughout long summer stretches, my traveling team would visit a different tournament every weekend. Some of these tournaments featured a designated hitter rule, showing the trickle-down from the pros. Now, I’m not saying I’m against the rule because someone stood in for me. Actually, I was a DH myself a couple times. But this rule reduces the opportunity for younger players to develop their batting skills, never letting the inexperienced get better. Taking the bat out of a kid’s hands is discouraging and unnecessary at such a low level of competition, and it does more harm than good. The bottom line is Major League Baseball is gradually becoming one unified league. The significance of the separate leagues continues to be watered down, and with these changes comes the need for the DH rule to be addressed. Hall of Fame broadcaster and baseball historian Bob Costas said it best: “Baseball is simply a better game without the DH.”

MLB’s designated hitters have always been, should be a part of America’s favorite pastime sam sherman Sports columnist

or a sport called “America’s Pastime,” baseball fans are in constant dispute over how the game should be played. Most recently, fans have debated whether the league should use designated hitters or if each team should have to send their pitcher to the plate. Growing up watching American League baseball, the designated hitter has always been a part of the game; so why change it? Despite being a White Sox fan and having to watch Adam Dunn on a daily basis, I like the DH. A few years ago when the White Sox signed Dunn as a designated hitter, it looked like their focus was shifting from small ball to the long ball. For Dunn, it was a good fit to extend his career in spite of declining fielding abilities. The White Sox were looking for that one guy who could give them 35-plus home runs every season to bulk up their lineup. They finally had that with Dunn, or at least we hoped to hell they had that, considering they gave the “Big Donkey” $56 million over four years. In his debut wearing a White Sox uniform, he went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs. We all thought — or at least I thought: “Yeah baby, we’ve got our guy, World Series here we come!” We would see Dunn hit home runs just 10 more times that season as he would go on to own a batting average of .159 and drive in 42 runs. I hate to even say “drive in” because

that sounds cool, and nothing about Dunn’s 2011 season was cool. It was arguably the worst single season by a player in the history of the sport. By the way, he struck out 177 times, which we knew he was prone to do, but we also thought he would hit 40 home runs. While Dunn and the 2011 White Sox terribly underachieved in 2011, finishing third in the AL Central, I would still take Dunn at the DH instead of having the pitcher hit last and have no DH in the lineup. The 2011 Chicago Cubs had a starting rotation of Matt Garza, Carlos Zambrano, Randy Wells,

Growing up watching American League baseball, the designated hitter has always been a part of the game, so why change it? Ryan Dempster and Andrew Cashner. In total that year, the entire Cubs pitching staff went to the plate 294 times. In those 294 at-bats, they struck out 120 times, totaled 39 hits and crushed a grand total of two home runs, both coming off the bat of Zambrano, thought to have been one of the better hitting pitchers in baseball. Compare that with Dunn’s historically bad 2011 season. He had more hits, home runs and RBIs than the Cubs pitching staff. The live-ball era has been around for 93 years, and in that time, almost no

player had ever had as bad a season offensively as Dunn had in 2011, yet his numbers were still higher than the alternative. I realize that pitchers are not supposed to be good hitters, but that’s exactly where the problem lies. One of the most exciting things to happen in a baseball game is the home run, and with the DH position, you suddenly have a prototypical home run hitter added to your lineup. When the pitcher comes up in the National League, you are going to see either a sacrifice bunt, or a strikeout. I understand that many people enjoy seeing how managers’ game plan for situations like that, but let’s leave that for interleague play. Interleague play is in no way ideal, but since 1997 it is a part of the game that we have to accept. And to those who dislike interleague play: You do not have to like it, but as a baseball fan, you have to accept it because it is what it is, and it will never change. Baseball is one of the most unique sports that is in between two leagues. There is one rule that is different, however. It gives each league its own personality, so to speak, and when teams from different leagues do play each other, it forces managers and players to adapt to a different style of play. So for the sake of Adam Dunn, let’s keep things the way they have been for the last 40 years and not abolish the designated hitter position in the MLB.

First active professional male athlete comes out By DAVID CRARY The associated press

The Associated Press file photo

Boston Celtics’ Jason Collins poses during Celtics NBA basketball media day at the team’s training facility in Waltham, Mass. On Monday, Collins became the first active male athlete who came out as gay.

NEW YORK — By coming out as gay while still an active NBA player, Jason Collins breaks one of the last remaining barriers for gays and lesbians in era of constant political gains and evergrowing public acceptance. In most other realms of public life — including the military, Congress, the corporate boardroom — gays have been taking their place as equals. Until Monday, however, no male athlete had come out as gay while still an active player on any team in the four major North American pro sports leagues. “Today’s announcement again shows that gay Americans are our teachers, police officers, nurses, lawyers and even our professional athletes,” said the president of the largest national gay-rights group, Chad Griffin of the Human Rights Campaign. “We contribute to every aspect of our American community and deserve the same equal rights as every American,” he said.

Beyond sports, the most dramatic barometer of shifting attitudes has been public opinion on samesex marriage. The latest Gallup Poll on that issue pegged national support at 53 percent, up nearly twofold from 27 percent in 1996. That change has been reflected in the political arena. With a key vote in the state Senate last week, Rhode Island put itself on track to become the 10th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Bills proposing to take the same step are pending in Minnesota, Delaware and Illinois. Gay-rights supporters hope the trend will be reflected in rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court, expected in June, on whether the federal government should recognize same-sex marriages and on whether a ban on such marriages in California should be struck down. Pollsters say there are two main reasons why many Americans who formerly opposed gay marriage are now supporting it. Many say it’s because they know someone who is gay — a family member,

friend or acquaintance — while others say their views evolved as they thought more about the issue. Public opinion also played a role in the 2011 repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that had barred gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military. By the time that top military commanders and most members of Congress joined the repeal bandwagon, a majority of the public already was supporting a change in the policy. In Congress, there are now a record seven openly gay or bisexual members, including Wisconsin Democrat Tammy Baldwin, the first openly gay U.S. senator, and Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., who is raising a son with his partner. Sympathetic gay characters abound on popular TV shows, in films and in comic books. In America’s workplaces, the picture is somewhat mixed. A majority of states have no laws banning job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. And yet, most major corporations

have equal-opportunity policies for gays, often including extension of domestic-partnership benefits. According to the Human Rights Campaign, 13 major employers earned a perfect score in 2001 when it started an index to rate businesses on gay-friendly employment practices. This year, 252 businesses received perfect scores. Even with all the momentum for various gay-rights advances, public opinion on some fundamental questions about homosexuality remains markedly divided. According to the General Social Survey, conducted annually by independent research organization NORC at the University of Chicago, disapproval of gay sex peaked in 1987, when 76 percent of Americans thought sexual relations between adults of the same sex was always wrong. In the 2012 survey, which involved interviews with 1,974 U.S. adults, 43 percent felt that way, while just as many said gay sex was not morally wrong at all.

MAGRUM

VOLLEYBALL

FROM PAGE 1B

The fourth concussion happened in practice leading up to the game against Illinois State on Dec. 21. Magrum felt sick and was clearly off her game against the Redbirds — she was 0-for-8 from the field — but the concussion wasn’t detected for more than two weeks. Magrum continued to feel dizzy and have headaches, and the concussion was finally detected after the Ohio State game on Jan. 6. The doctor told Magrum that, if she were his kid, “her garage career would be over.” He couldn’t clear her to play anymore. She was medically disqualified. One year too early, Magrum’s college basketball career was over. *** Concussions are different than other types of injuries. “I’ll take any type of physical ailment any day over concussions,” Magrum said. “It ruins your day. You’re not the same person. You have a headache all of the time. You really can’t do much. Sometimes, it’s hard to even read a book. With a foot injury, you can still be yourself.” A broken foot is visible. So is a dislocated shoulder. But you can’t see a concussion. Many people doubt their legitimacy. “I know people around me who have had this opinion that they’re kind of fake, that concussions aren’t real,” she said. “They don’t understand it. They just think you need to suck it up. Just being in that position, where I have been, you see that most people don’t care about it. “Everybody’s played athletics and, I want to say, 99 percent of people don’t go through this, so they don’t understand. Before I got all these things, I didn’t really understand it, either. “As an athlete, all you think about is athletics, performing, winning, excelling. You don’t think about being able to function outside of sports. “But when you’re talking about being a functional human being and having healthy relationships and everything, academic performance, it affects it all. It affects everything. I don’t think people realize that how big of a deal it is.” Magrum said there needs to be more efforts focused toward preventing and treating concussions. “It’s going to happen. It’s a part of sports.” Although concussions are a part of sports, there is little that the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics can do to protect its athletes from concussions, Director of Sports Medicine Paul Schmidt said. “There’s times when you can’t protect them from a concussion,” he said. “We can educate. We can use the protocol that we do, but there’s nothing out there where we can put them in a bubble and say, ‘Hey, this is how we’re taking care of them.’” When asked what the University is doing to ensure concussions don’t affect the daily lives of more of its athletes, Schmidt declined comment. “I’m not sure where we’re going with this line of questions, and I don’t feel comfortable answering that question,” he said. Schmidt also wouldn’t answer how the University would help an athlete suffering from concussions sustained in college after they graduate. NCAA policy currently requires that schools inform athletes about the signs and symptoms of concussions. It also requires schools to remove athletes who may have

and recruiting kids that can do those kinds of things.” A few players on the Illinois roster already have some experience playing against European teams and playing overseas. McMahon played in both Singapore and Tijuana, Mexico, with the USA Junior National team. Libero Jennifer Beltran was on the United States Youth National Team from 2008-10, where the team earned 12th place at the World Championships and middle blocker Anna Dorn was named to the USA Volleyball High Performance team from 200709 and competed in Europe in 2008. Adding to the experience, the players will also enjoy the benefit of not having to pay out of pocket for the international excursion. With fundraisers this spring, most noticeably the “Chop Chef” fundraiser on Feb. 28, along with booster donations, the trip’s costs have been covered for the players. Hambly, along with seven other local chefs, participated in a live cookoff event at the I-Hotel to raise money for the trip. The Illini will stay in Italy for the entire trip, making stops in Venice, Bologna, Bergamo and Milan during the trek. NCAA rules dictate the team can take one international excursion every four years, and Illinois was last in Italy, Croatia and Slovenia in the summer of 2008.

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois' Kersten Magrum tries to get the rebound during Illinois’ loss to Colorado at Assembly Hall, on Dec. 1. suffered a concussion from play and not allow student-athletes with concussions to play on the same day they are injured. What more can the NCAA do? What can be done to prevent others from suffering Magrum’s fate? “I’m not sure,” Illinois head coach Matt Bollant said. “Maybe the game could be called a little bit tighter, but I’m not so sure. It’s meant to be played aggressively, and it’s a physical game, so I’m not sure.” *** Protocol was followed with Magrum. She was educated more and more after each concussion. The athletic mentality continued. “They would tell me, but I wouldn’t really take it to heart,” Magrum said. “I’d be like everyone else: ‘Oh that won’t happen to me. I’m fine. I just want to play. That’s all I want to do is play.’ Once the medical staff finally stepped in and said: ‘It’s not really your choice anymore. We’re not going to clear you.’ That’s when it really kind of set in that there are severe consequences to them.” Now, if you spend time with her, you can tell that she still has to live with those daily consequences of her concussions. You can tell that the concussions are affecting her ability to function outside of sports. Magrum has trouble thinking quickly. She interjects “ya know” into her speech often. She has trouble focusing. During one interview for this article, Magrum requested that it transpire outside of the original location because the volume of the live music bothered her. Loud noises are one of her triggers. So is stress. Concussions cause a lot of stress. Initially after her fourth concussion, Magrum couldn’t remember where she parked her car. She had trouble navigating the mall. But the biggest change was in her workout regimen. As a student-athlete, Magrum had officially worked out for 20 hours a week. In reality, she estimated, with out-

Letters to the Editor Email opinions@dailyillini.com

side of the gym workouts, the total number was “30-40 hours, easy.” At fi rst, Magrum was only allowed to walk. Then, slowly her symptoms faded. She began to bike for 10 minutes, then 20. Now, she’s allowed to run for 10 minute intervals. She can’t play basketball. She can’t even shoot around because of a recent surgery to repair her torn labrum in her shoulder. “I’m a mess,” she said. “It’s rough. It’s one of the hardest things just because you’re used to working out for hours and hours and hours, and that’s how you release your frustration. It’s a vicious cycle because you’re upset, because you can’t work out and you can’t play basketball. And then you have all the stress, but the exercise causes that stress, all the headaches, because then you can’t release it. It’s not a fun situation at all.” This is just one example of the way her life has changed. “Honestly, the hardest part is the daily struggle,” she said. “It’s not being able to get over the fact that you have concussions and not only living with that, but then having to move on with life. I didn’t plan on being done right now. It’s not only do I have all these concussions, my career is over. Now, I need find a job and something to do.” The redshirt junior will graduate with a degree in psychology in two weeks. When she was still playing, she thought she would attend graduate school for a year. Now, she says needs to get out of Champaign; the memories are too strong. Magrum credits her boyfriend, Kaeman Mitchell — a former walk-on cornerback on the football team — with supporting her throughout the entire episode. “There’s nothing I can do to help,” Mitchell said. “I can just sit there and be patient, but I can’t make her feel better. You just kinda watch someone that you really care about just struggle. That’s the hardest part, just being so helpless that you can’t really do anything.” Though Mitchell has had three concussions himself, he doesn’t

know what it’s like for Magrum to no longer be able to play. To help with that, Mitchell introduced Magrum to his teammate, Ryan Klachko. Klachko, a redshirt freshman, retired from football earlier this year after suffering too many concussions. Klachko has helped Magrum adjust, telling her about the benefits of getting in a regular sleeping pattern and sharing tips of how to help with the headaches. He immediately pinpointed the mood swings she suffered. He showed Magrum that she is not alone. *** Most mornings, you can find Magrum working for the DIA. She mows lawns and cleans bathrooms. She’s never really had a job before; she never had time for one. She’s also never had this much free time, which she spends improving her cooking. She gets more sleep. At first, she couldn’t watch basketball — she cried the first time she tried — but now she has the NBA playoffs on most of the time. She hasn’t gone to many Illini athletic events since her injury but would like to go to a few more before graduating. “It’s always tough, because I was them, and now I’m cutting their grass and picking up twigs off their courts,” Magrum said. “It definitely puts things in a bigger perspective.” Along with the free time, Magrum is also unfamiliar with the amount of choice she has in her life without basketball. “This is the fi rst time I’ve been able to explore my life and not have basketball be the center point,” she said. “When you’ve had your whole life and athletic identity and, now, trying to be a normal person is kind of hard. I’m trying to figure out what to do next.” Though she may not be sure about her future career plans, Magrum thinks she knows where she will be: Lawrence, Kan. Mitchell accepted a graduate assistant position at Washburn University in Lawrence, and since he has supported her through everything, she wants to return the favor. ***

Magrum always knew she would play basketball for as long as she could, but she never thought she would have to stop this early. She planned to make a career of it. When teammate Karisma Penn signed a free agent contract with the WNBA’s New York Liberty, Magrum couldn’t help but think of what might have been. Though she likely would not have played in the WNBA, she planned to play overseas. “It’s like: ‘Man, I wish I could be in that situation, too. I wish I had that opportunity,’” Magrum said. “But then you see her, and you were there for the whole college thing, so it still feels good that she gets to do it because that’s what you want your teammates to do, to go on and succeed. “But, of course, it’s bittersweet. You just have to focus on the future.” What does that future entail? There has to be a reason that Magrum can’t play the sport she loves anymore, doesn’t there? “With everything that’s happened, it has to be something that God wants me to do different than basketball,” she said. “All of my injuries have been kind of freak injuries. For my shoulder, whenever they got the X-rays, they told me: ‘We don’t even know how you did this, but you did XYZ. We don’t know how that’s anatomically possible.’” Magrum has a small cross tattooed on her left wrist. Above the cross, the word “faith” is written. She got the tattoo after she “survived” her freshman year. The message seems even more relevant now. “I just have to go off the faith that there’s something else for me to do because I know that if I didn’t get injured, I would play as long as I possibly could. I wouldn’t really be doing what I’m supposed to be doing.” What is God’s plan? What do you do when all your future plans come crashing down? “I don’t know yet. I’m still trying to figure it out.”

BULLS FROM PAGE 1B throw by Jimmy Butler, Wallace nailed a 3-pointer, then came up with a steal and dunk to give the Nets a 103-91 advantage with 2 minutes to go. The Nets finished it off with ease, prolonging their first season since moving from New Jersey. Butler scored 18 points for the Bulls, who were outrebounded 44-33 and gave up 24 secondchance points. “That’s the difference in the game, the rebounding,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “If you defend fairly well and then you give a team a second and a third crack at it, it’s hard to win like that.” The Nets ran off seven straight points late in the first quarter, five from Lopez, to turn a 17-17 tie into a 24-17 lead. Brooklyn got eight second-quarter points from Kris Humphries, then opened its biggest lead when Johnson and Wallace made consecutive 3-pointers before Lopez made two free throws to make it 50-40. The Nets led 52-44 at the break. The Nets had the lead into double digits a few times in the third quarter but never built on it. The Bulls were back within four by the end of the period after making 11 of 16 shots (69 percent). Butler made a 3-pointer to open the fourth quarter and make it a one-point game, but Chicago never could grab the lead in the final period. Wallace scored 12 points and Reggie Evans grabbed 12 rebounds as the Nets improved to 6-0 all-time in Game 5s at home. They have never lost a series when holding home-court advantage. Joe Johnson and C.J. Watson each scored 11 points.

NBA playoffs: Clippers, Grizzlies tied at 2-2 Memphis ties the series in the West; expect Paul, LA to step up as Paul. Even on a poor shooting night, his defense, leadership and distributing could elevate the Clippers. When Paul gets it going again, the Grizzlies won’t be winning by double digits anymore.

Paul began this series on a tear, averaging 23.5 points and eight assists while shooting 58 percent from the floor in the first two games. He also hit a crafty floater around defensive stud Tony Allen at the buzzer of Game 2 to lift Los Angeles to victory. In the last two games, both Clippers losses, Paul has averaged 13.5 points and five assists per game while shooting 45.1 percent from the field. In the first two games of the series Paul turned the ball over twice. In Memphis’ two victories, Mike Conley’s defense has been outstanding on the Clippers floor general. But CP3 will bounce back; There are few players in this league as consistent

One of the reasons the NBA moved to a seven-game format in the first round was to give the better team the chance to win. Statistical anomalies are less likely to occur repeatedly in an extended series. For example, Quincy Pondexter of the Grizzlies won’t score double-digits every game. He scored five points combined in the first two games but scored 23 points in the two games at Memphis. Expect Pondexter to regress to his low-scoring tendencies. The Grizzlies also won’t dominate the boards like they have in the past two games. Memphis has outrebounded Los Angeles by an average margin of 14.5 rebounds per game in their two wins in the series. In the regular season, the Clippers outrebounded opponents by 2.5 boards on average per game, ranking sixth in the league. Memphis ranked second in the league with a plus 3.6 margin, so the rebounding in this series should even out over time. If the rebound-inept Gasol grabbed 13 rebounds on Saturday, you know the Grizzlies got some fortuitous bounces.

Lack of star power will make a difference The Clippers have a couple of superstars in Paul and the timetraveling Blake Griffin, while the Grizzlies lack a go-to pres-

Los Angeles Clippers’ Chris Paul heads to the hoop against the Memphis Grizzlies during the first-round NBA basketball playoff series in Memphis, Tenn., on Thursday. The Clippers lost 94-82. ence. Just ask the Denver Nuggets how hard it is to win in the postseason without a superstar. The Nuggets find themselves down three games to one against the Stephen Curry-led Warriors. In the regular season, bench players make the lack of superstars less noticeable. Deep teams can often overwhelm opponents that rely on their superstars during the regular season, but in the playoffs, star players become a necessity with the boost in playing time. Even Kirk Hinrich played 60 minutes in Game 4 against the Brooklyn Nets on

Saturday. The closest thing the Grizzlies have to a superstar is Marc Gasol. The Spaniard was an All-Star this season and named Defensive Player of the Year, but he isn’t going to score 30 or 40 points when the team needs a go-to scorer down the stretch. Neither is Randolph or Conley. This is why the Grizzlies might regret dumping Rudy Gay’s contract to the Raptors. Gay might be horrendously overpaid, but there in no denying his shot-making ability. Aside from Paul and Griffin, the Clippers can also feed the ball to Jamal

Crawford who has scored in double-digits in every game of this series. When it matters most, the Grizzlies just don’t have the star power to hang with the Clippers.

Home court matters The home team has won every game in this series so far. And in three out of four of the games, the home team has dominated. The Clippers won 112-91 in Game 1 in Los Angeles while the Grizzlies have won by an average margin of 16.5 points per game in the two contests played

in Memphis. The Clippers and Grizzlies actually had the exact same home and road records this season going 32-9 at home but only 24-17 on the road. Only four teams had better home records. If the home team continues to win, this matchup will go to the seventh game again. Game 7 would be played in Los Angeles. Considering the Clippers won last year’s Game 7 in Memphis, I don’t like the Grizzlies’ chances in Los Angeles.

my column last week, I ranked the NBA’s best first round playoff matchups. Coming in at No. 3 was a rematch from last season in the No. 4 seeded Los Angeles Clippers vs. the No. 5 seeded Memphis Grizzlies. So far, the matchup hasn’t disappointed. The best-of-seven series is tied at two games apiece after the Grizzlies pounded the Clippers 104-83 on Saturday. Los Angeles has lost consecutive games in the series after winning the first two contests. Despite the losing skid, the Clippers will bounce back in the series.
