URBANA-CHAMPAIGN SENATE

Enrollment plan approved by Senate members, up for final review BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER

Dorinda Miller, president of AFSCME Local 3700, a union that represents clerical workers at the University, speaks to rally-goers about the opinion that those of the University of Illinois management are “a bunch of cardboard cutouts” at the Alma Mater on Monday.

UI employees rally for new contract Clerical, technical employees express concerns about slow bargaining process BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER

University employees and members of local units of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees labor union rallied together Monday afternoon, expressing their concerns about the

negotiation of the union’s contract and wages. AFSCME’s two locals units on the Urbana campus, Local 698 and Local 3700 , represent clerical employees and technical staff. The University’s bargaining team has been negotiating these two

groups’ contracts since July 2011, and they have met for 22 bargaining sessions to date, said campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler. Kaler said they have reached an agreement on many noneconomic issues. However, Dorinda Miller, president of AFSCME Local 3700, said the University cancelled its third consecutive meeting with the two groups last week and neglected to inform members of the cancellation. As a result,

Miller said she is unconvinced that there are “decision-makers at the negotiating table.” Kaler said the University’s bargaining team had to postpone last week’s meeting and inadvertently did not notify the union’s leadership, although the team did inform the management committee. She said the team reached out to the chief negotiator, however, and apologized

Urbana-Champaign Senate members discussed the enrollment management plan, which has been distributed to all campuses for fi nal review, at its meeting Monday. The revised enrollment management plan, titled The Path Forward , looks to increase diverse student enrollment each year and to ensure that these students successfully graduate with a degree. Members of the Urbana-Champaign Senate approved the plan Monday, and the document will now be sent to the University Senates Conference for a fi nal review. Once the Conference reviews the plan, it will be sent to the Offi ce of the President , then the Board of Trustees, said Don Chambers, the Conference chair. Michael Biehl , chair of the enrollment management task force, said the revised document mainly addresses the faculty’s major concerns with the original document. “We believe this current document represents an evolutionary progression from the original external (enrollment management) report and provides, along with the previous UIUC and USC (enrollment management) task force reports, a better framework,” Biehl said. “Our UIUC (enrollment management) task force believes (the) current enrollment management process is well-respected and not broken.” No major concerns were brought up during the Senate meeting, and it passed with little discussion. Nicholas Burbules , Senate member, said it is up to the University administration to follow through with the plan laid out in the document. “We will see what happens next in terms of further steps of implementation,” Burbules said. “We certainly think that the revised proposal that has

The unemployment rate for college graduates remains high but is steadily dropping as graduating seniors from the class of 2012 are entering a competitive job market. Seasonally adjusted data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics lists March 2012’s unemployment rate among young adult workers between the ages 20 to 24 at 13.2 percent compared to 14.9 percent one year ago. Katie Kennealy, associate director of the University Career Center, said she believes the job market is beginning to rebound. However, she explained that while many companies are starting to hire again, there are now more applicants for each available job. Kennealy said one of the main causes for the current unemployment rate of postcollege adults is the current economic situation. The national unemployment rate was recorded as 8.2 percent in March 2012 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Jae Kwon, senior in LAS, has already

secured a job at a marketing consulting firm in New York City. Kwon recommended using all the sources and opportunities provided by the University to find a job. “For me, studying abroad experience and (an) internship abroad definitely helped,” Kwon said. “That was the thing that really highlighted my resume. Make sure you tailor all your resumes specifically to each of the internships or experiences that you have.” Jenna Nygaard, senior in AHS, has received a few job offers but hasn’t settled on a career choice yet. Nygaard said she feels lucky that the job markets for her career interests are currently stable. However, she noted that her circumstances are not shared by a lot of her friends whom are graduating and looking for jobs. Nygaard said she recommends not rushing the jobhunting process. “Don’t stress about it because things will fall into place,” she said.

Professor of Asian American Studies and Gender and Women’s Studies Fiona Ngô speaks during the final Quench lunch-hour lecture in the Illini Union on Monday.

‘Quench’ lecture addresses learning outside classroom BY KLAUDIA DUKALA STAFF WRITER

Using humorous accounts of her own personal college experiences, Professor Fiona Ngô’s lecture, “On Punks, Professors and Public Sex,” encouraged students to do what they enjoy despite other people’s opinions. The lecture was given Monday as the spring semester’s last presentation for the LGBT Resource Center’s Quench Lunchtime Discussion Series at the Illini Union. Ngô said college is a transitional period in a person’s life, and many students tend to forget about the things that interest them because they fear that they won’t be accepted by soci-

ety, or they won’t be useful for their professional careers. She said students generally stick with socially acceptable activities and schoolwork rather than what actually interests them. “Don’t let the contradictions that guide our lives stop you from trying to make the world a better place in whichever way it appeals to you,” she said. “It could be by baking or healing animals or breaking windows, whatever you think works for you.” Ngô modeled that behavior by discussing her college experiences. She said most of her

New website launched for students Visioning Future Excellence website made to address UI’s role in society’s issues BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER

Following the launch of the Visioning Future Excellence survey last month, Chancellor Phyllis Wise has created a Visioning Future Excellence website to further the University’s efforts to fi nd its role in addressing issues facing society. Staci Provezis, senior communications and evaluation coordinator, said the website is based on a collection of topics that were brought up during Visioning Future Excellence group sessions. “These were sessions that

we had with different groups where we ask the same two questions that we ask in the survey,” Provezis said. She said the raw data collected from the sessions can be seen on the website through word clouds. The more the word was mentioned during the discussion, the bigger the word appears in the graphic on the site. The most common concerns that were brought up during the sessions were energy, environmental sustainability and social and economic inequality. The sessions were started by faculty members in Febru-

ary and allowed them to share their thoughts and concerns about issues that may come up in the next 20 to 50 years. After the sessions with faculty began, sessions for students were held later in the month, according to the website. Campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said the Visioning Future Excellence sessions are held to enable the administration to work closely with all groups on campus. “Those (sessions) will continue over the coming weeks ... to allow people to help think about what they think our society’s greatest problems will be over the next 20 to 50 years and then to think about the unique strength of the University of Illinois and how the University can address those challenges,” Kaler said. David Pileski, student trustee-elect, said the website is a nice way to collect thoughts and

ideas. “It’s always a good tool, especially when working with students, to have a visual, a foundation of all the data that you collected,” Pileski said. “I think what’s always good to see is the next step; how these (survey) results could be implemented and what are those next steps.” Provezis said the survey attracted more than 1,500 responses, with which she said the administration was satisfied. Kaler said Wise was glad to have the opportunity to hear directly from students, faculty and staff. “This is her initiative, so she is very excited about engaging the campus community and giving people the chance to help steer the direction of the University,” Kaler said. “She (Wise) has found that people are very excited to participate and have great ideas.”

UNEMPLOYMENT FROM PAGE 1A The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey shows that college graduates who majored in health, education, and agriculture and natural sciences had the lowest unemployment rate between 2009 and 2010. Humanities and liberal arts, architecture, and arts majors had the highest unemployment rate during that period. A Georgetown University study found that experienced college graduates and college graduates with Master’s degrees were employed more often than inexperienced college graduates who entered the job market. Those findings were based off of the U.S. Census Bureau’s data between 2009 and 2010. According to Kennealy, college students should be getting as much work experience as possible during their college years in order to be successful in finding employment after graduation. She said work experience can come in the form of internships, volunteer experiences and active involvement in campus clubs and organizations. “Employers will find the most value in students that have both a college degree and job experience,” she said. “The ideal candidate will not only have the educational background knowledge, but also will have either had an internship or some other on-thejob training that is pertinent to the position the employer is attempting to hire.”

“I have three more months on my lease, so I’m going to stay here, chill for the summer and continue looking for the dream job in Chicago.”

BY CORINNE RUFF CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The weather is finally turning around and motorcyclists are getting back on the road. Although some have braced the snow, sleet and ice all winter, the warming sun is likely to motivate more bikers to rev up their engines. However, that means safety could be a concern for drivers and motorcyclists. Sportland Motorsports in Urbana has noticed a significant increase in clientele from winter to spring, said salesman Bob Stockwell. “The weather is a lot nicer, it’s the season for motorcycles and the economy is changing,” he said. “For the last two to three years there wasn’t any difference (in sales) between March, February and January but particularly this March we’ve noticed a 100 percent increase.” He also stated that on average the store’s sales from winter to spring usually double. However, this year, because of the improving economy, they are hoping for sales to triple. The store holds somewhere between 150 and 200 bikes, as well as safety equipment such as helmets, boots and chest padding. Among a plethora of bikes at Sportland Motorsports, Cory Edwards, junior in Engineering, could easily pick out his motorcy-

cle at the store. “Big, fast and sexy,” is how he describes his motorized beast, a Suzuki SV650S. He’s had it on the road on and off throughout the winter but now relies on it to get him everywhere. To him it is a very efficient mode of transportation. “It’s fun to ride, very economical and less stressful getting to class,” he said. Although motorcycles may be fast and fun, there are many safety precautions that people should take. According to Captain Skip Frost of the University Police, reckless driving on motorcycles and a lack of helmets are not the biggest safety hazards, but not seeing cars is. “Cars and pedestrians need to watch

It’s all about getting from point A to point B safely.” As a rider himself, Frost said that motorcyclists need to realize that drivers do not see them. Edwards said when he is on his bike, cars often cut him off because they do not look for motorcycles. Frost said in the state of Illinois, it is not required to wear a helmet but eye protection must be worn. He said he always wears a helmet but knows other motorcyclists may not. But as long as motorcyclists obey the law, he said he doesn’t have any

safety concerns. “I’m just a police officer, I enforce the laws but I don’t make them,” he said. The increased presence of motorcycles on the road may make driving motorcycles safer. “When motorcyclists ride together they drive safely,” Edwards said. “I think the more there are on the road, the more people will be aware and watch out for them.” Since more motorcycles are expected to be driving in the coming months, Frost advises citizens in the ChampaignUrbana area to be conscious of their presence, check their blind spots and drive defensively.

The next bargaining session is scheduled for May 2 at 9 a.m. “The management team will be fully prepared to respond to (the union’s) proposals and to present our own,” Kaler said. A FSCM E representative Tara McCauley said many of the union members are also upset because other employees on campus received raises last summer, but members of AFSCME did not. The contract has been unfi nished for almost a year now. She added that the University has been unresponsive for the past month. “We’re ready to meet with the University, but the University just needs to come to the table,” McCauley said. “We feel like it’s a matter of respecting your employees here on campus. Our members are the workers that do the frontline work that keeps the University running, so all we want is to settle this contract.” Jim McGuire , president of AFSCME Local 698, said the University’s involvement in the negotiation was not the only reason for rallying.

The committee is set to meet on Monday.

Americans must look inward to end hate crimes, sexual discrimination MICHAEL HOFFMAN Opinions columnist

June 5, 2011, CeCe McDonald, a 23-year-old black transgender woman, left a Minneapolis bar with her friends and was attacked by three white supremacists — two women and one man — who called her racist and homophobic insults, according to Democracy Now!. During the fight McDonald, known as a “wise, outspoken and cheerful” student of fashion design at a community college, was struck in the face with a glass beer mug and received 11 stitches on her cheek. One of the assailants, 47-year-old Dean Schmitz, died after being stabbed by a pair of scissors that were in McDonald’s bag. A number of details of the murder remain unresolved. Despite the evidence of a hate crime (Schmitz had a swastika tattoo on his chest), only McDonald was arrested. She was interrogated without counsel, placed into solitary confi nement and now faces up to 80 years in prison for second-degree murder.

When some people walk down the street, they inherently attract more attention than other people. Most of us have seen flamboyantly dressed people whose gender or sexual orientation is ambiguous. Many people respond to their presence with snickers and uncomfortable laughs with their friends. Others become so uncomfortable that they respond with violence. Sexual harassment stories like McDonald’s are common in America. Rai’vyn Cross, one of McDonald’s friends, told Democracy Now!: “We have encountered this every day of our lives ... when we wake up, when we go to sleep, if it’s in a public place or if it’s just outside, period. We best deal with it by ... wiping it off, just staying strong.” Blame is often attributed, justifiably, to the powerful religious factions of the country. Theological justifications for sexual discrimination have deep roots buried beneath the American cultural tree. Today, Americans still live in a culture of sexual repression. When the human body is not perfectly sculpted and packaged for our consumption, people become confused. In other words, Americans feel comfortable with the Photoshop-tanned skin on the Internet and billboards but are confused by bodies that do

not fit into those categorical corsets. The people who feel the most insecure and hateful toward others’ sexual identities feel that way because they are insecure with their own sexual identities. And when psychological traits are repressed, the adverse effects of the repression are revealed elsewhere in society. To get an idea of America’s mental health, go to County Market at 331 E. Stoughton St. in Champaign and look at the magazine aisle. Half have a range of topics, but a sizable portion is strictly devoted to weapons and artillery. Being open about your sexuality is personally empowering. Individuals who are not open to this can achieve a similar feeling of power by handling a gun. It should go without saying that we are the largest manufacturer and distributor of weapons worldwide. All bodies are, above all, beautiful. Unfortunately, McDonald’s assailants were not comfortable because she thought of herself like that. If we are going to fi x any external problems in our society, we must fi rst look honestly at who we are on the inside. We have to know ourselves before we can discover who we may become.

etween University Chancellor Phyllis Wise’s newest project, “Visioning Future Excellence at Illinois,” and an update on last semester’s climate survey, University email inboxes were graced with mass mailings about the state of the University last week. But many students did not read or even open the emails, much less concern themselves with the emails’ content. The Visioning Excellence program, launched last week, consists of “visioning sessions” in which different focus groups within the University discuss “society’s most pressing issues” and the role of the University in addressing those issues in the next 20 to 50 years. The results of the project to date have been 10 word clouds and a summary of the “Listening and Learning Tour.” The most striking fact on the web page is not the topics of concern but the actual participation in the project. A little more than 1,500 people, which includes only 303 undergraduate students and 202 graduate students, have completed the “visioning survey” sent to the entire University community more than one month ago, which attests to students’ apathy of these surveys. What’s also troubling about this project is that while so much time and effort is being put into this project, the University is facing true problems: the financial state is abysmal and the University’s reputation has taken another few blows this academic year. Between the College of Law’s admissions scandal in the fall and President Michael Hogan’s chief of staff Lisa Troyer’s

anonymous email investigation in the spring, the University’s Ethics Office has publicly investigated more administrative issues than ever before. The road that led to Hogan’s resignation in March only highlighted the University’s administration issues again after the Category I admissions scandal of 2009. Word clouds filled with vague buzzwords are not going to fix the University’s reputation. Buzzwords will not entice bright and promising students from around the nation and world to continue their education at Illinois. A web page of broad topics is not going to bring professors and researchers to the University to work on the next breakthrough in agriculture or engineering. Committing resources to such a project is truly a waste when the University is facing such pressing issues. Some regularly occurring buzzwords include “energy, environment and sustainability.” The University isn’t going to find solutions to these problems by counting how many times these terms are used in a visioning session. But we may have a fighting chance if we focus our efforts on recruiting the right talent that eventually may affect change.

Your grandiose plans of self-improvement will flounder if all you do is talk NORA IBRAHIM Opinions columnist

his weekend, ChampaignUrbana was amid a bounty of success stories. Illinois Marathon runners reaped the joys of meeting long-term training goals. Ebertfest organizers put together another series of inspiring and thought-provoking movies, drawing film critics from all corners of the Earth. Many of my friends were giddy with adrenaline-inducing news about their graduation plans: “I’m going to such-and-such graduate school!” or “I’m traveling to (insert really exciting destination) for an internship!” More inspiring talk was headed my way when I began attending seminars held by notable researchers in biochemistry, the chemical sciences and immunology — some of them were even Nobel Prize recipients. Talk of their decades of dedication to their fields of study compelled me to race back to the lab, hit up my

lab notebook and start pipetting away another set of reactions. It inspired me to get going on my journey to success. But I was stepping into an all too familiar territory: I was making grand plans that I would never see to their end. It was just like how talking about others’ internship success inspired me to look out for that internship X at destination Y — oh yeah, except that didn’t happen. Or how others’ completion of the half marathon almost had me buying a new pair of Nikes, the key word being “almost.” You see, a lot of it is talk. I catch myself telling people that I want to pursue a degree in yadda-yadda to do amazing things in this-and-that. When I was “training” for the half marathon last spring, it was when I was at the Activities and Recreation Center, 2.5 miles into a “run” on the treadmill. And, yes, sometimes I still tell people I want to “learn 12 languages.” (As if, Nora. As if.) Folks and friends will tell you in a cliche manner that you are more likely to succeed in meeting the goals you set up for

yourself if you share them with your friends. As a matter of fact, this has been considered an effective method in goalmaking strategies; it’s at the core of several weight-loss programs, like Weight Watchers. The notion goes that the pressure of committing to someone to complete a goal is so great that you wouldn’t dare risk the embarrassment that would come with not doing said goal. Perhaps this method is more effective when other people are constantly monitoring your progress, but let’s be honest: When was the last time someone consistently harangued you about getting your todo list done? Even my mother dropped that responsibility when I became a baby Illini. When it comes to weight loss, only a select number of people, even if enrolled in a program like Weight Watchers, make it to their magical “number.” But all too often they bounce right back up when there isn’t an ample supply of motivation to maintain the weight loss. So sharing my goals with my peers and co-workers isn’t a way to encourage me to keep

going; it’s a way to feel good about what I’m trying to accomplish and, in a way, already feel accomplished. A 2009 study conducted by professor Peter Gollwitzer at New York University suggests that identity-related behavioral intentions were less intensely translated into action when they were noticed by other people. For instance, an individual can tell his friend that he wants to begin reading his local paper every morning but is less likely to pick up the morning paper if he tells his friends and family. Last year, for instance, I decided to reserve five minutes per day to talking to both my mother and my sister. Since I committed to doing this, I’ve had those 10 minutes a day for just that. I haven’t missed a day. What does it mean, though? Did I just kill my “intent” to speak to my family? Ironically, did I just write a column about intending to stop sharing my intentions? And will I be unable to execute my intention to stop sharing my intentions? And maybe the world will implode because of the break in

the space-time continuum I’ve made? Probably not, but the point to extract from this: Be honest with yourself. If you want to see yourself go through with something, seriously consider how you want to make it hap-

pen. That way, it won’t be “just talk.” It’ll be you hitting the pavement through the fi nal mile of a marathon, learning 12 languages or making the next revolutionary discovery in the lab.

Lunch Box, of Champaign and tattoo artist at Newlife Tattoos, looks through a book of tattoos during downtime between customers on Monday. Lunch Box has been at Newlife Tattoos for 10 of the 11 years that the parlor has been open.

TATTOO FROM PAGE 6A his shop expecting the characters and shenanigans they’ve seen on TV. He recalls seeing a commercial for a reality tattoo show on the TLC network and being taken aback. “There was more drama in that one TV commercial than there has been in our shop in a year,” he said. “We’re all just normal guys here. We’re in our 30s and want families.” Recently, McCulloch moved from a house in the country to the suburbs. He has a baby on the way and sincerely hopes he or she will grow up in a more accepting world. It is perhaps due to a lack of tattoo acceptance that Thaddeus Andracki, senior in LAS, has put off getting a tattoo. He said when he eventually gets one he’ll want it in a location

where he can cover it up. He tries not to hold stereotypes regarding tattoo culture, but he still thinks tattooed people have a common bond that alienates others. “Tattoo shops don’t necessarily seem like friendly places,” Andracki said. “They don’t seem like places you’d just walk into and hang out at unless you’re part of that sub-culture.” Jason Dunavan, a tattooist at Five Star Tattoo in Champaign, agrees with that assessment. He said the hardest part of getting a tattoo is walking through the door. As a kid, he was terrified of the tattoo shop in his hometown of Danville, about 35 miles east of Champaign. “I just assumed they ate babies and were crazy,” Dunavan said. “There was no way in hell I was going in there.” But the rebellion and mystique of tattoo culture eventually drew him in.

Dunavan doesn’t necessarily want to scare people away, but he thinks it’s good that walk-ins are a bit nervous. After all, a tattoo is permanent for people without the finances for tattoo removal. “That fear is a sign of respect,” he said, pulling his black, knit cap further down over his pitch-black hair. “Tattoo artists are the only professionals who everyone from athletes to doctors to musicians look up to. They can’t do what I do and they know it.” Dunavan has kids and makes sure they are not as intimidated as some adults who enter his place of work. He hung some bright artwork in the shop for this very reason. Mostly, Dunavan’s children and their friends think his tattoos are cool. “I get a lot of ridiculous questions from 7-year-olds,” he said, cracking a smile. “Kids are curious in general and just want to know about stuff they can’t have.”

Holograms have rarely been more than an intriguing curiosity, a technology that’s mainly useful for tickets or credit cards. However, when a “hologram” — although technically not a 3-D image — of rapper Tupac Shakur, who died in 1996, took the stage for a brand new performance at this year’s Coachella music festival, it seemed that hologram science had made some huge advances that were demanding people to take notice. Attendees at the festival got to see a remarkably realistic performance, with the hologram imitating a performance of a medley of many of Tupac’s biggest hits. The demonstration wasn’t simple, either. The performance was five minutes long and featured realistic movement. Also on stage was Snoop Dogg; their frequent interaction made the performance even more convincing. A video of the performance became a viral sensation. Students who grew up listening to hip-hop but were too young when Tupac died to have any real memories of him relished the opportunity to see the man in action, even if it was in hologram form. “To see Tupac performing on stage was really surreal, considering I was still young when he was killed,” said Bobby Till, junior in LAS. Hannah Wittman, sophomore in LAS, was also amazed by the Tupac hologram. “Obviously I was never given the chance to see Tupac live, but growing up with him being

Getting the product into the hands of true Illini fans. This is where another friend, Nate Greensphan, senior in ACES, helped Weinberger with his business. “When he approached me with the idea of Collegiate Mirror Skins, I loved it,” he said. “My first question was ‘How can I help you?’”

one of my favorite rappers, this performance gave me just a little taste of what it would be like,” Wittman said. With talks of HoloPac hitting the road for a tour with Snoop Dogg — Wittman and Till both said they would go — and rumors that the technology would be used for artists like Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, it may seem like this performance is some kind of technological breakthrough. However, it is actually a 21st century update on an old trick. According to physics professor Munir Nayfeh, the hologram was not actually on stage during the performance. Holograms are very sensitive to sound, and it would be impossible to keep one intact during a music festival with thousands of attendees. Instead, it was projected on to a very thin clear screen, to create the illusion that the hologram was present at the event. “It’s something that’s been in use for awhile .... Magicians

did similar things to create optical illusions early in the 20th century,” Nayfeh said. Similar projection processes are used for pictures and video all the time. However, unlike those media, holograms are three-dimensional; that’s why it only looked like Tupac was actually walking around on stage and interacting with other performers. It may not be the great leap forward that it first appeared to be, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any impressive technology on display. Holograms have traditionally been simply recordings of other objects — similar to a picture or a movie but with three dimensions. The creation of an original performance mimicking a man who died 16 years ago, is an impressive combination of digital technology and holograms. “It isn’t what it looked like, but that doesn’t mean it’s not very sophisticated,” Nayfeh said.

DESTIHL also works to put on beer dinners, four-course meals surrounded by a central theme. The last beer dinner’s theme was “Down to Earth” in honor of Earth Day. A staff member then talked about the food and beer the staff crafted especially for the event. “It’s not stuff that we normally serve on our menu at all,” Durkin said. “The beers

are beers that we sometimes serve, but they’re specialty beers made just for the beer dinner, and the food is also specially made.” Each beer dinner has 16 seats, which sell for $55 each and are usually sold out a month in advance. “This is the best way for us to show off the marriage of great food and great beer,” Potts said.

Once Weinberger had the product in hand, it was actually time to start marketing and making sales. That’s when Greensphan was able to start participating. “His big idea to get the product out there was to just have it in the hands of college students and alumni, so we would go to some of the football games together, and they have tailgating all around Memorial Stadium and by the soccer fields,” he said. “We just went around handing out mirror skins to people who either looked interested or already had an Illini tent or Illini bumperstickers, or looked like they would really put it on their car.” Greensphan was able to give more to Weinberger than just a helping hand at football games.

He was there for support as well. “As a friend, I was there to support him, and then again once he wanted someone to really go out and work sales and get the product out into people’s hands,” he said. “I’ve always been there for him.” Greensphan sees a future for the idea of mirror skins outside of just the collegiate world. “I see every single car driving down the road with either Illinois side mirrors or your favorite NFL football game,” he said. “I’d have a Benny the Bull right up there. I think this is an idea where people, whatever it is that they’re a fan of or hold an interest in, right up there on your mirrors. If he doesn’t take this opportunity, somebody else will.”

DESTIHL brews up local, tasty artisan experiences BY ZEFAN ARAYA STAFF WRITER

‘Gastrobrewpub’ takes taste buds on deluxe adventure

ESTIHL has a motto: great food, great beer, great service. The restaurant and brewery began in Normal, Ill., and opened another location in downtown Champaign at 301 Neil St., on the corner of Neil and Church streets, in early 2011. Matt Potts, the CEO and Brewmaster of DESTIHL, knew before he opened his fi rst restaurant that he would want to expand. Potts was inspired after his fi rst home brew in 1995. “My inspiration was to pair craft beer with truly artisan food,” he said. “With all the big chain restaurants and mass-produced beer surrounding us, I thought the people deserved better.” Currently, the two restaurants brew more than 50 different styles of beer at each location with almost 20 of them on tap. By brewing in small batches, DESTIHL can rotate beers

more frequently. “We brew more beers for our guests because we have a passion for brewing,” Potts said. DESTIHL strives to provide its customers with an overall excellent experience, and in the process coined the term of a “gastrobrewpub.” Combining the British term “gastropub,” a highquality dining pub, with a “brewpub,” a pub that specializes in brewing excellent beer, DESTIHL proudly provides both. “As a gastrobrewpub, DESTIHL creatively combines and reinvents craft beer and full-flavor dishes from America’s melting pot .... (We have a) mission to fi ll our gastrobrewpubs with fun, energy and passion for great artisan food and beers,” Potts said. Paige Babilla, sophomore in Media, enjoys going to DESTIHL with her family when they come down to visit. “I obviously love it,” she said. “I’ve gone there five or six times.” She admires the trendy, modern feeling that comes from DESTIHL. “It’s kind of darker. It has more of a mellow atmosphere with lots of golds and dark browns and blacks,” Babilla said. “It’s very relaxed, but at the same time, you can’t just wear a T-shirt and shorts. It’s a little more trendy, a little more modern.”

When asked her favorite dishes, Babilla knew her answer well. “Tomato and bread salad, stone-oven pizza ... and the fresh berry napoleon for desert,” she said. She commented on the wide variety of choices at DESTIHL, saying that everyone she brought to the restaurant always found something to enjoy. Brian Durkin, the manager of DESTIHL’s Champaign location, strives to maintain an atmosphere of both sophistication and fi ne dining. “We want to have an upbeat but kind of downto-earth feeling — kind of a fi ne-dining feeling but not pompous,” Durkin said. DESTIHL also has another goal: to stay green and boost the local economy. The restaurant uses as many local businesses as possible and currently has 25 local farms on contract. For each DESTIHL location, the restaurant supports as many local businesses as it can while also incorporating organic products. “If local businesses are thriving, then you’re thriving,” Durkin said. “If you’re always shipping your money off to New York or wherever ... it doesn’t help the community at that point.” In addition, DESTIHL avoids wasting its food and beer, and in the process makes its dishes all

Destynee McMichael wouldn’t date a guy who doesn’t have tattoos. “I don’t feel bad about not having a tattoo myself,” said McMichael, junior in FAA, “but it’s just weird if guys don’t have any.” McMichael believes tattoos are alluring in a naughty way. While she acknowledges that not everyone finds tattoos sexy, she’s pretty sure most people consider them rebellious. According to a national Harris Interactive poll, 50 percent of those with no tattoos and 25 percent of inked people feel individuals with tattoos are more rebellious. McMichael’s friend Astarte Howell, senior in FAA, has two tattoos in discrete locations. Howell loves her tattoos and is sick of older people thinking tattoos are reserved for soldiers and prostitutes. “This is my big hurrah about tattoos, so listen up,” Howell said, halting her cell conversation midsentence, “tattoos have gone from something disgraceful to a badge of honor.” McMichael, who has been in tattoo parlors to get piercings, added that stereotypes about tattoo culture have a lot to do More online: with tatFor more too parlors coverage themselves. detailing thoughts She thinks concerning parlors are tattoos in the CU rebellious community, check by refusing out the online to appear as version at the cleanest DailyIllini.com. businesses. “All the tattoo shops I’ve been in had grungy, white, biker-type, rough people in them,” she said, laughingly. “They’re pretty interesting places.” But perhaps McMichael hasn’t met Jeromey “Tilt” McCulloch, who owns the tidy Newlife Tattoos in Champaign. “I mean, people have their pants down a lot in here,” McCulloch said, referring to how tattoo aficionados like to show off their art no matter the location, “but that doesn’t mean it’s not clean.” Newlife Tattoos is licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health. McCulloch was required to pay $500 and pass an inspection before receiving his license.

Trip to S. Africa inspires business idea: Mirror Skins BY KELLY CHUIPEK STAFF WRITER

After a trip to South Africa in 2010, Lee Weinberger, senior in Business, came back with much more than pictures, memories or a new perspective — he came back with a business plan. “It was a really exciting time to be there because they were hosting the World Cup,” Weinberger said. “South Africa’s kind of a divided country and they have racial tensions and racial disparities and economic disparities, but they really saw the World Cup as kind of a time to come together and be unified as a country. People got really patriotic during the summer and everyone was flying

the South African flag on their cars, businesses, billboards, stuff like that.” Weinberger also noticed the flag flying in a place he hadn’t thought of before — on people’s sideview mirrors. From that came the idea that started Weinberger’s business, Collegiate Mirror Skins, or socks with school logos on them that wrap around a car’s sideview mirrors. “It was something that I had never seen before,” he said. “It was more likely to see a car with one than one without one. It just really stuck out in my mind.” Arriving back in the United States to start his junior year, Weinberger had big ideas.

“I had a vision of the same kind of product coming to America and working in a different kind of setting like for a college campus or for sports teams,” he said. In order to get his idea for Collegiate Mirror Skins on the market and on the sideview mirrors of students around the Champaign campus, he had to start at the very beginning. “I contacted a Chinese manufacturer and made a prototype,” he said. “After that, I started the whole process to become an official licensed product of the NCAA. It took a couple of months, but it’s worth it because when you go in to a store they want to make sure it’s licensed.”

After eight months of drawing up a marketing plan, creating a logo and waiting for the NCAA’s response, Weinberger was approved in May 2011 to create his product in a testing stage. Now, Weinberger’s product can be found in stores in Evanston with a Northwestern logo and coming soon to the Champaign-Urbana campus at Gameday Sports. While it has been a great success to get his product in retail stores, Weinberger has found more success in sales from his website, UMirrorSkins.com. “Online sales have been much better than in-store sales,” he said. “There have been customers that have bought from more

than just Chicago, like Northwestern alumni that live out in California or New York. It’s cool to be online and work with online retailers as well.” While Weinberger has done his best to create a strong business, he feels that some things are out of his control. “I think back to the time in South Africa and it was just a totally different situation. It was a country where people were rallying behind a flag and their spirit as a unified people,” he said. “Looking back, I wish we had better sports and more team spirit in Champaign than we do, like people have in Kentucky or Ohio State or Michigan. That’s some-

thing that I wish I could change, but it just didn’t come to fruition as much as I hoped it would.” Now ending his time at the University and reflecting on how Collegiate Mirror Skins changed his experience as a college student, Weinberger understands just how much he has accomplished. “It was a huge challenge, and I didn’t realize how big of a commitment it would be until I was right in the middle of it,” he said. Weinberger was able to have the help of his fraternity brother and friend, Yaron Charnes, junior in LAS. “We share ideas with each other

Sports Illinois aims to continue hot streak against instate rival Illini baseball looks to settle score against Hartleb’s alma mater BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

PORTRAIT BY PRITEN VORA THE DAILY ILLINI

Illini softball assistant coach Danielle Zymkowitz demonstrates a swing for her players after practice at Eichelberger Field on Wednesday.

CALL HER COACH Former Illini 2nd baseman welcomed back as student assistant coach BY SEAN HAMMOND

STAFF WRITER

anielle Zymkowitz arrived at the University in the fall of 2007 with a lofty set of goals. Among them were a Big Ten softball championship, NCAA Super Regionals and even the Women’s College World Series. Jump four years to May 2011, and Zymkowitz’s collegiate career was over with all three of those team goals left unaccomplished. She was suddenly faced with the uncertainty of life after softball. Three months after graduating, Zymkowitz found herself atop the professional softball world as a Cowles Cup winner and National Pro Fastpitch champion with the Chicago Bandits. “It was just fun,” Zymkowitz said of her experience

last summer. “It is defi nitely a different game, a lot faster game and your skill level had to be pretty good because you’re playing with all Olympic athletes.” One year after her senior season, Zymkowitz is now back with the Illini, but with a different perspective — as a student assistant coach while completing her undergraduate work at Illinois. “It’s a lot different being on the outside of the game,” Zymkowitz said of coaching. “It’s more of trying to take a leadership role and try to help the players get better. It was sort of hard at first, but now it’s like they’re my team out there and I just want them to succeed as much as anybody else.” Zymkowitz signed with the Bandits after open tryouts in May shortly after her collegiate career came to an end. A leadoff hitter in college, she batted .298

during the 2011 season and the Bandits finished 20-20 — good for third in the four-team NPF. The team then rallied in the playoffs to defeated the USSSA Pride in the NPF Championship Series. While Zymkowitz never did win a Big Ten title (Big Ten juggernaut Michigan won the conference all four years she played, sharing it once with Northwestern), she is no stranger to success. She may be the most accomplished player in Illinois softball history. After her four-year career, Zymkowitz, who is known by everyone within the Illinois softball program simply as “Z,” holds the all-time career records for batting average (.384), hits (277), runs scored (202) and stolen bases (91).

Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb is very familiar with Southern Illinois — the Illini’s next opponent. He graduated in 1989 from Southern Illinois, where he played catcher. Hartleb became a coaching assistant at Southern while working toward his master’s degree. He is still in contact with Southern and said he still roots for them. Except for situations like Tuesday, when he’ll face his alma mater as Illinois’ head coach. He was only 5-5 coming into the season against the Salukis, but Hartleb insists that he has no extra incentive to beat his former school. “You want to beat everybody,” Hartleb said. “It’s more of a thing you want to beat the in-state schools because you go against them in recruiting all the time.” Illinois (25-18, 8-7 Big Ten) has already defeated Southern Illinois (24-20, 9-6 Missouri Valley) twice this season and will aim for a sweep when the Salukis come to Illinois Field on Tuesday. Brian de la Torriente will take the mound for the Illini in what will be a staff day for Illinois, similar to last week against Indiana State, when various pitchers got a chance to get some work in on the mound. Unlike last time, there is no pitch count for the starter. De la Torriente will be able to go deep

“She has that extra love of the game, and she’s an ultra competitor. Those qualities will help her as a coach.”

“I’m not saying they’ll all get in the game but I want them prepared to be ready to go in and give us quality innings.”

Cornell, Dimke, Ford sign contracts as undrafted free agents BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER

Former Illinois kicker Derek Dimke won’t make it to his fi nance fi nal exam Friday. Instead, he will spend the weekend in Detroit for a rookie orientation and mini camp with the Lions. “Hopefully the teacher is pretty understanding about that and will let me make it up when I get back,” he said. Dimke was one of several Illini who didn’t hear their names called in the NFL Draft this weekend, but that didn’t mean the end to his NFL prospects. He signed with the Detroit Lions as a free agent within hours of the draft’s conclusion. Running back Jason Ford and offensive lineman Jack Cornell also made it to the next level Saturday night, signing with the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens, respectively. “The last few days have been pretty long, to say the least,” Cornell said. “Just kind of a lot of sitting around and waiting and watching and wondering. ... As soon as Baltimore picked the defensive lineman from Georgia, the offensive line coach (Andy Moeller) called me and

said, ‘Hey, you know, sorry it didn’t work out in the draft, but we defi nitely still want you here and we think it’s a good situation for you.’ So it all happened relatively quickly when the draft was over. While the post draft wrapup shows were going on TV, I was pretty much figuring out where I was going.” Cornell said the Miami Dolphins and the Cincinnati Bengals also offered him contracts. “That’s kind of where my agent and I both sat down and looked at the roster, the offensive linemen on the roster for each team, and decided that the Ravens were the better choice to go with,” he said. Cornell added that the Ravens coaching staff impressed him, particularly Moeller and head coach John Harbaugh. He said Harbaugh sent him a text a few weeks ago to let him know they had interest in either drafting or signing him. “That was pretty cool,” Cornell said. “No other teams had really done that, so I took all of that into consideration when I was making my decision.” While the three hoped their names would be called in the draft, entering the NFL as an

That way, you get to pick where you want to go,” Cornell said. “The power of choice is defi nitely something that played to my advantage.” For Jason Ford, that choice involved a shift to fullback after primarily lining up as running

back in four years at Illinois. “The Texans put me in the best situation to come out and play right away,” Ford said. “They didn’t have a fullback on the roster, so I feel like I can come in and make an impact.” Ford, who fi nished his Illini career with 1,962 rushing yards and 26 rushing touchdowns, added that he doesn’t anticipate the transition to full-time fullback

Tigers’ OF Young suspended by MLB for hate crime THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — Detroit Tigers outfielder Delmon Young was suspended by Major League Baseball on Monday for seven days without pay following his arrest on a hate crime harassment charge last week in New York. The commissioner’s office said the suspension is retroactive to Friday, when Young was arrested after a late-night tussle at his hotel during which police say he yelled anti-Semitic epithets. “Those associated with our game should meet the responsibilities and standards that stem from our game’s stature as a social institution,” Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. “An incident like this cannot and will not be tolerated. I understand that Mr. Young is regretful, and it is my expectation that he will learn from this unfortunate episode.” The statement from the commissioner’s office also said that Young would be required to participate in a treatment program. Young is eligible for reinstatement from the restricted list May 4. The suspension will cost Young approximately $257,240 of his $6,725,000 salary. Speaking before the Tigers game against the Kansas City Royals was postponed by rain, Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski said Young will not appeal the ruling and that he will not face additional discipline by the team when he comes off the restricted list Friday. “Under the (collective bargaining agreement), there’s no dual discipline,” he said. “He’ll be activated and ready to play on Friday. If he’s not in the lineup, that will be the manager’s decision.” Around 2:30 a.m. Friday, Young was standing outside the team hotel in New York. Nearby, a group of about four Chicago tourists staying at the hotel were approached by a panhandler wearing a yarmulke and a Star of David around his neck, according to police. Afterward, as the group walked up to the hotel doors, Young started yelling anti-Semitic epithets, police said. It was not clear whom Young was yelling at, but he got into a scuffle with the Chicago group, and a 32-year-old man was tackled and sustained scratches to his elbows, according to police and the criminal complaint.

JOHN STARKS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chicago Bulls’ Joakim Noah (13), Luol Deng (9) and Kyle Korver (26) react as Derrick Rose is tended to by staff after suffering an injury during the fourth quarter of Game 1 in a first-round NBA basketball playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, in Chicago. Despite Rose’s injury, the Bulls won 103-91.

Bulls reject underdog status in spite of Rose’s season-ending ACL tear BY ANDREW SELIGMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DEERFIELD, Ill. — One bad landing finished Derrick Rose’s season. The Chicago Bulls insist it hasn’t dashed their NBA title hopes. With their superstar point guard out for the rest of the season with a left knee injury, the Bulls will try to take a 2-0 lead over the Philadelphia 76ers when their first-round playoff series resumes Tuesday night after realizing their worst nightmare in the opener. There was Rose writhing in pain with just over a minute left after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament. Now, the Bulls will have to pick themselves up. The Bulls came into the season looking for more after posting the league’s best record and advancing to Eastern Conference finals a year ago. They earned homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs again even though Rose and Rich-

ard Hamilton missed significant time because of injuries, which explains why they believe they can get through this. Even so, the sight of Rose going down late in Saturday’s 103-91 victory sent a major chill through Chicago and stirred a debate over whether he should have been in the game at that point. Players and general manager Gar Forman publicly defended Thibodeau’s decision, but losing Rose to many wiped out whatever chance the Bulls have at advancing to the NBA finals, much less winning it all. “It’s more fun being the underdog, right?” said Kyle Korver, who sat out Monday’s practice but is expected to play. “I don’t think a lot of people expected us to win a championship to begin with. But even now, it’s probably more so that way. We’re definitely confident in ourselves.” They realize the task just

jumped a few levels in difficulty, though. “Without Derrick Rose, it is a different team,” the 76ers’ Jrue Holiday said. “They don’t really have that scoring and passing that Derrick Rose brings. At the same time, they’ve had an awesome record without him.” Rose was playing more like an MVP with 23 points, nine rebounds and nine assists after being limited down the regular-season stretch, only to see his season end in a flash. He landed awkwardly on a jump stop, went up for a pass, and that was it. Korver said Rose was at the practice facility on Monday, but he did not talk with reporters. Rose faces surgery at some point once the swelling goes down and he regains his full range of motion, but his status for the start of next season is up in the air. The Bulls, meanwhile, will try to do what they did all season — shrug it off.

The Bulls were able to start their top five just 15 times this season because of injuries to Rose, Hamilton and Luol Deng (torn ligament in his left wrist), yet they still tied San Antonio for the league’s best record at 50-16. In the games Rose missed, they were 18-9. With Rose sidelined, they figure to lean on Deng, Carlos Boozer and Hamilton — who had 19 points on just seven shots in Game 1 — for scoring. C.J. Watson, who made 25 starts and averaged 9.7 points, is expected to get the nod at point guard with John Lucas III backing him up. “Derrick Rose so distorts your defense,” Sixers coach Doug Collins said. “Everything you do is tilted toward him. It frees up a lot of opportunities for a lot of other guys.” The Sixers might not have to trap as much or worry about the point guard creating havoc in the

paint the way Rose does, but they still have to be careful. Watson scored 20 on them twice in the regular season. In the games Rose missed, the Bulls’ approach didn’t change much. They still rebounded and defended, and they might have moved the ball even more when he was out. “I think you stay with what you are as a team,” Thibodeau said. “It’s the defense, it’s the rebounding, keeping our turnovers low, inside-out. Whether it’s off the dribble or through the post-up, the ball has to (get to) the paint. The final thing is sharing the ball. We have to keep the ball moving, but we have to do that when Derrick plays. From that standpoint, I don’t think we have to change. It’s impossible to make up for Derrick’s individual greatness, but our collective greatness would cover that up.”

Phillies claim victory over Cubs BY ROB MAADDI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA — Placido Polanco hit a tie-breaking, two-run double in the eighth inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Monday night. Bryan LaHair hit a tying, two-run homer off Chad Qualls (1-0) in the eighth after Vance Worley threw seven impressive innings for Philadelphia. But the Phillies answered in the bottom half. Scott Maine (0-1) hit pinch-hitter Juan Pierre with a one-out pitch, and Jimmy Rollins singled off Rafael Dolis with two outs. Polanco, who had just two RBIs in his first 71 at-bats, drove in two with a hard liner to the wall in left. Jonathan Papelbon pitched the ninth for his eighth save in as many tries, giving Philadelphia a split of the four-game series. The five-time defending NL East champion Phillies finished April at 11-12, their first losing record in a full month since going 11-15 in June 2009.

The bright side for the Phillies: They were only 12-10 in April 2010 and went on to win a major league-best 97 games. Worley allowed one run and five hits, striking out five. He left with a 4-1 lead, but the bullpen blew it. Antonio Bastardo started the eighth and got one out before walking Tony Campana. Qualls came in and allowed an RBI single to Starlin Castro after Campana stole second. LaHair then ripped a two-run shot to right-center for his fifth homer. Worley lowered his ERA to 1.97, thirdbest among Philadelphia’s starters. Roy Halladay’s is 1.95 and Cliff Lee’s is 1.96. Often overlooked on a staff filled with aces, Worley was 11-3 as a rookie last season and has been even better this year. He’s allowed two runs in 20 innings in his last three starts. Cubs starter Chris Volstad gave up four runs — all in the first — and eight hits in six innings to remain winless since July 10, 2011. He is 0-8 in 16 starts since his last win when he was with the Marlins.

Miami Heat’s Chris Bosh (1) reacts after shooting a three-pointer in the second half of an NBA basketball game against the New York Knicks in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs in Miami on Monday. The Heat defeated the Knicks 104-94.

Heat take 2-0 lead over Knicks BY TIM REYNOLDS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI — As the Miami Heat expected, the New York Knicks were much improved in Game Two. Better, yes — but not good enough. Dwyane Wade scored 25 points, Chris Bosh added 21 and the Heat beat New York 104-94 on Monday night, sending the Knicks to an NBA-recordtying 12th straight postseason loss. LeBron James finished with 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the Heat, who lead the Eastern Conference first-round series 2-0. Carmelo Anthony scored 30 points on 12-for-26 shooting for New York, which got 18 points from Amar’e Stoudemire and 13 apiece from Tyson Chandler and J.R. Smith. The only other team to lose 12 straight playoff games is the Memphis Grizzlies, who dropped their

first dozen postseason contests from 2004 through 2006. New York’s last postseason win came April 29, 2001. The Knicks get another chance to snap the drought Thursday when they host Game 3. Mario Chalmers scored 13 points and Mike Miller and Shane Battier each shot 3 for 5 from 3-point range on their way to 11-point games for the defending East champion Heat, who shot 52 percent. Baron Davis, who sat most of the first half and has been battling back issues, finished with 12 points for the Knicks. Along with the Grizzlies, the Knicks were one of four teams in NBA history with 11-game postseason losing streaks, according to STATS LLC, joining Denver (1988-94) and the Baltimore Bullets (1965-70).

The Heat came into the game saying they expected Anthony to be much more aggressive. They were right. Anthony opened with an 11-shot quarter — the last time someone took more in the first 12 minutes of a playoff game was May 15, 2006, when Richard Hamilton got 12 shots off for Detroit against Cleveland. Anthony missed all seven of the jumpers he took in Game 1 when guarded by James, then got his first one to fall on the game’s first possession Monday. By halftime, Anthony was up to 21 points on 9-for-18 shooting, the Knicks needing all that and more. Wade, James and Bosh combined for 41 points in the first two quarters, helping Miami take a 53-47 lead. MATT SLOCUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Unlike Game 1, it wasn’t over by Philadelphia Phillies’ Placido Polanco follows through on a two-run double off Chicago Cubs halftime. And play was heated, just starting pitcher Rafael Dolis in the eighth inning of the Phillies’ 6-4 victory over the Cubs. not overheated.

Harper, Trout hopefully signal new era of baseball ED EDENS Sports columnist

wo weeks ago, I was watching the Cubs-Marlins game with my roommates as the insurance company-sponsored trivia question appeared on the screen. “Which two players in uniform tonight also played in the 2003 NLCS?” Having bled Cubby blue my entire life, I of course knew the answer was Kerry Wood and Carlos Zambrano. Then the commentators, Len Kasper and Bob Brenly, started talking about how it had been almost nine years since the Marlins shocked the Cubs in that fateful series. Wait, what?! Nine years? My first reaction was terror as I realized how old that made me. The second was a realization that it also meant many of the players I grew up watching were either on their way out of the game or had already retired. Baseball was definitely not the same. Fast forward to Saturday. In Los Angeles, Bryce Harper was making his major league debut for the Nationals playing left field and batting seventh. In Cleveland, Mike Trout made his 2012 debut for the Angels after spending part of the 2011 season with the big league club. For anyone with a deep knowledge of the game, it was the most exciting day of baseball since the end of last year’s regular season. For the casual fan, I’m here to tell you that it also signals a symbolic shift in the history of the game. If you don’t know the names Bryce Harper and Mike Trout, you clearly have been living under a rock for the last few years. Or you have enough self respect and real-world responsibilities not to have time to obsess over petty things like fantasy baseball. But I digress. Harper and Trout are widely considered the best prospects since Ken Griffey Jr. Harper even left high school early to enroll in junior college so he would be eligible for the FirstYear Player Draft. Expectations have shot so high that Nationals and Angels fans are preparing for All-Star-, MVP- and Hall of Fame-caliber careers for their respective star. Did I forget to mention that Harper is only 19 years old and Trout won’t turn 21 until August? The scary thing is that the expectations of fans are not wildly beyond those of profes-

ESPN’s Keith Law, who is respected as one of the best in the scouting business, has ranked them as the two best prospects in baseball for two straight years. Both players possess not only incredible speed and defensive instincts but have the ability to hit monster home runs and screaming line drives on a consistent basis. In his debut, Harper hit a double that seemed to reach the base of the center field wall in Dodger Stadium in the blink of an eye. As the ball even got back to the infield, he reached second base and called for a timeout so he could retrieve his helmet, which had fallen off his head as he flew from first to second. Later in the game, with a runner on second and the Nationals protecting a one-run lead, phenom pitcher Stephen Strasburg gave up a single to left field. Harper raced in, fielded the ball, took a crow hop and fired an absolute bullet to catcher Wilson Ramos that beat the runner by about a step and a half. Even though Ramos dropped the ball, the throw was proof of Harper’s

elite all-around skill set. Although both Harper and Trout are just starting their careers, they are joined by a number of young stars who are already having a massive impact, bringing a renewed sense of hope to their franchises. Carlos Santana of the Indians, Eric Hosmer of the Royals, Jesus Montero of the Mariners, Starlin Castro of the Cubs, Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers and Strasburg are all younger than 25 and have the talent to lead their teams to a World Championship. Maybe it’s because Harper, Trout and Strasburg are all on my fantasy keeper league team, but seeing them all start Saturday really hit me as an important day for the game of baseball. The last two decades have not been a particularly pleasant time for the sport, as a strike caused the cancellation of the 1994 World Series and steroid usage was rampant. As the game moves on in a positive direction, the infusion of young, exciting talent is a necessity, and it’s exactly what we are witnessing. The history of the game has

been broken down into a number of eras, including the dead ball, racial integration, expansion and the aforementioned steroids era. I, along with millions of other fans, want to see the game move on from the most recent one and gain a new identity. No one knows what will define the next two or three decades of baseball, but I have a feeling that the incredible amount of young talent will have something to do with it. Maybe we will see aging players like Alex Rodriguez and Albert Pujols challenge the alltime home run record. Maybe we will see Matt Kemp or Josh Hamilton win the triple crown. Maybe Roy Halladay or CC Sabathia will win his 300th game. Hopefully, Saturday was the first day of many in a promising new age. Hopefully, we will see Harper and Trout reach their full potential and usher in a new era for the game we all know and love.

Clemens’ lawyer derides 2008 hearing as ‘nothing more than a show trial’ BY JOSEPH WHITE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — A federal court jury saw snippets of Roger Clemens denying steroid use at a now-famous 2008 congressional hearing, then listened Monday as Clemens’ lawyer tried in fits and starts to declare that proceeding to be “nothing more than a show trial” that shouldn’t have taken place. The perjury retrial of the seven-time Cy Young Award winning pitcher entered its third week, which unfolded as yet another session bogged down by constant objections. The day ended, however, with a cliffhanger that could prove crucial to the outcome. The judge appears on the verge of deciding whether the government can broaden its case by

bringing in witnesses such as former Clemens teammate Chuck Knoblauch, who has acknowledged use of human growth hormone as stated in the Mitchell Report on the use of performanceenhancing drugs in baseball. The Clemens team doesn’t want such testimony to reach the ears of the largely baseball-ignorant jury, but prosecutors argued it’s a necessary rebuttal if Clemens’ lawyer continues to question the motive behind the hearing. Meanwhile, the behind-thescenes sniping was again nastier than anything the jurors have yet to hear in court. Clemens’ lawyers used a written response, to a government motion filed with the court, to aim their latest broadside at the government’s key witness. They claimed that

830 MISCELLANEOUS

Clemens’ former strength coach Brian McNamee has a past that “contains more dirt than a pitcher’s mound.” If nothing else, prosecutors cleared a psychological hurdle when they managed to get through the day without getting into trouble with U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton. It was during the first trial last July that they played an excerpt from the 2008 hearing that had been ruled inadmissible — prompting Walton to declare an embarrassing mistrial in an already costly case. The retrial, resuming after a five-day break and expected to last several more weeks, still seems light years away from addressing the principle question that could matter most to the jurors when they decide whether

830 MISCELLANEOUS

Clemens lied to Congress: Did he use steroids and human growth hormone during his remarkable 24-year career? As it was, the court spent Monday hearing a second day of testimony from the trial’s first witness, Phil Barnett, who was majority staff director for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee when that committee held the 2008 hearing. Prosecutors used Barnett to try to establish that Congress was within its bounds when it called the hearing, which took place two months after Clemens was named in the Mitchell Report. The government has maintained that the validity of the Mitchell Report was important, in part because of overall concerns over steroids and HGH as a public health issue.

830 MISCELLANEOUS

With Barnett on the stand, the government played portions of Clemens’ televised testimony at the February 2008 hearing as well as an audio tape of the deposition that preceded it. “Let me be clear: I have never used steroids or HGH,” Clemens said confidently in the videotape of the hearing. Talking his turn to question Barnett, Clemens’ lawyer Rusty Hardin tried in several ways to raise doubts about the validity of the hearing, but many of his questions were met with objections by the government or by an attorney from the House of Representatives, leading to several private conferences at the judge’s bench and one debate that took place with the jury out of the room. Hardin told the judge he wanted

830 MISCELLANEOUS

to show that the hearing “was nothing more than a show trial of Roger Clemens on that day” and “nothing more than to punish the man who had the temerity to say he did not commit a crime.” But, with the jury back in the room, Hardin had trouble making his point without running afoul of the rules, frequently evoking objections that were sustained by the judge. Hardin was even admonished for using the term “potted plant” to refer to a lawyer who sits quietly at a hearing. Hardin did manage to raise before the jury the issue as to whether Clemens’ testimony at the hearing was truly voluntary — suggesting that Clemens might have been subpoenaed had he had not agreed to appear.

Q&A: MATT BOLLANT

Bollant previews women’s basketball future New coach talks changes, potential DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Editor’s note: The following is a partial transcript from an Illini Drive @ 5 interview with Illinois women’s basketball head coach Matt Bollant, who joined the show to talk about his new job and how his team is prepping for the upcoming year. Illini Drive @ 5: What did you see in this program when (athletic director) Mike Thomas approached you?

Matt Bollant: A lot of potential. I had an opportu-

nity to look at a lot of programs. I was offered several jobs and what really intrigued me about this is the kids that are here. ... I thought with the kids returning here, if they have open hearts and open minds, I think we can be good fairly quick. A lot of (it) depends on the culture, and how quick we can build that. That’s really where there’s most intrigue. And then the state; the state is just loaded with talent.

They love the volleyball, it’s a great atmosphere and they win. We’ll try to do the same things. And just building relationships, coming in and doing things like this. I think I challenged our players as we did at the football game, we gave our burgers to students and say, “Treat every one of these people like they are your brother and sister and they’re family,” and teaching players to do the right thing. I’m going to be out speaking and be out everywhere on campus and just build momentum for women’s basketball.

ID@5: The Assembly Hall has been quiet to say the least for women’s basketball. How are you going to bring students in?

ID@5: What have you been doing with (the players) to begin prepping for next season?

MB: It starts obviously with the product. You have to have a great product to do that. The volleyball students come to the volleyball (game).

MB: They have been really open-minded, wanting to learn. I feel that they are very athletic, but they didn’t have a grasp of being funda-

mentally sound. They didn’t do a lot of things the same way every time. So we’re teaching them footwork and the right things, teaching them how to play from a triple threat and passing with your feet on the floor. ... Already, we’ve seen a lot of positive changes and I think the players are really excited.

ID@5: With Karisma Penn, does she have All-American potential with the way she has performed in the past, being an All-Big Ten performer? MB: Not the way she did last year, but where she can go, absolutely. ... She’s got a chance to be all those things she wants to be. She wants to play when she’s done (with college). And we’ll give her all the tools to do that if she controls her attitude and her effort.

British officials will place troops, missiles on London homes in preparation for Summer Olympics BY PAISLEY DODDS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Some London residents are getting troops and surface-to-air missiles on their rooftops for the Summer Olympics. British security officials identified potential sites for the missiles Monday and announced plans for security tests during the week. The potential sites include Lexington Building in Tower Hamlets, the Fred Wigg Tower in Waltham Forest, Blackheath Common, Oxleas Wood, the William Girling Reservoir and Barn Hill in Epping Forest. News of one of the sites leaked out over the weekend when a journalist who lives in one of the buildings found a flyer notifying residents of the plan. “From the few people I’ve spoken to, and the security we have here, they’re not happy about it,” said Brian Whelan. “I don’t think it needs to be here at all.” Around 700 people living at Whelan’s building in Bow — about 2 miles from London’s Olympic Stadium — have been contacted and warned that the weapons and about 10 troops are likely to be based at the site for around two months. London is hosting the Summer Olympics from July 27-Aug. 12. Troops plan to conduct tests this week at the building to determine if the high velocity surface-to-air missiles will be stationed on a water tower attached to the site’s roof. “The majority of this exercise will be played out in full view of the public and I hope that it will have a secondary effect of reassuring the British people that everything possible is being done to ensure this will be a safe and secure Olympic and Paralympic Games,” said Defense Secretary Philip Hammond. Britain has previously confirmed that up to 13,500 troops are being deployed on land, at sea and in the air to help protect the Olympics alongside police and security guards. Typhoon fighter jets, helicopters, two warships and bomb disposal experts will be a part of the security operation.

ZYMKOWITZ FROM PAGE 1B Zymkowitz was a two-time NFCA All-American as a player — the only Illinois softball player to ever win the honor twice. She started all 210 games of her career primarily as a second baseman, leading the Illini to 151 victories, and never missed an inning in that time period. Her batting average increased each year, including her senior season, when she finished at .425. She only batted below .400 in her freshman year. When asked if she thought that Zymkowitz would become the player she did when she was recruiting her, Illinois head softball coach Terri Sullivan, who is never at a loss for words, gave just a one-syllable answer. “Yes,” she said. Sullivan said it was her raw skills and athletic ability that made her such an impressive recruit in high school. “She played ball,” she said. “Her skills, her attributes, her attitude all impressed me. She has that extra love of the game and she’s an ultra competitor. Those qualities will continue to help her as a coach.” All of the returning players from last year’s Illini squad played with Z. But as a fifth-year senior, utility player Danielle Vaji is the only current Illini who came into the program as a freshman with Zymkowitz. Even though Zymkowitz is now a coach, Vaji says nothing has changed. “It’s really the same thing, she just has a little bit more authority over me now,” Vaji joked. “We’ve been best friends since we’ve been here. She makes the game fun and makes anyone playing around her have a lot of

RECRUIT FROM PAGE 1B able at Illinois than any other school,” Bailey said. “I liked the demeanor, the atmosphere and I could really see myself playing for them.” Bolingbrook head coach John Ivlow said he was surprised when he received the text about Bailey’s commitment because it came so soon. He added that if anyone was ready to make a decision of this magnitude at an early age, it was Bailey. “Oh, extremely humble. He’s kind of a unique individual in that aspect,” Ivlow said. “He’s very extremely focused for a high school junior, and a lot of times the kids are not. They’re not as mature, I guess you’d say.” Bailey went 8-for-13 for 140 yards and ran for an additional 149 yards in Bolingbrook’s defeat of Loyola in a rainy 21-17 state championship game. “He seemed to be the big game-breaker that nobody had an answer for,” Ivlow said. “Aaron was just kind of a different kind of weapon. He could line up at three positions and hurt you. He could hurt you throwing the ball as a quarterback, if you put him at running back, he could hurt you.” Visiting different schools every weekend and receiving phone calls and letters from coaches never got old for Bailey, who said he enjoyed every second of being recruited. Some state champions and prized recruits might let this go their heads, but it hasn’t happened yet to Bailey. “Never. No way,” Ivlow said. “His faith won’t let him. His father won’t let him. And I don’t think he’ll let himself.” One of the reasons Bailey ultimately decided on Illinois was because he wanted to stay close to his family. He’s extremely close to his brothers and father, Oliver “O” Carter Jr. Carter said he left the ultimate decision up to his son but that he was glad he stayed close to home. They plan on driving the 2.5 hours to Champaign to attend his home games and make trips for the road games. “As a family, we talked about it, and why not keep it in house, in-state and try and build the Illinois name instead of going to another state and help them possibly do something spectacular?” Carter said. “Let us stay here in Illinois and try to help win something here in your home state.” Carter added that Beckman made it clear to them that he wanted to build his program by getting the best players in state. Bailey has been compared to former Illinois quarterback Juice Williams, but Bailey is widely regarded as more a more polished player, especially as a passer. Whether he pans out better than Williams is still to be seen, but Ivlow said this commitment will be taken note of by other players across the state. “This should raise some eyebrows and get some interest from some of the other kids, so good for them,” he said.

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1B to be a difficult one. “I don’t think it will be a problem,” said Ford, who occasionally played fullback for the Illini. “I love blocking and pass protecting.” Dimke, the most accurate kicker in Illinois history, opted for a situation with an opportunity to compete with the NFL’s fourth all-time leading scorer in the 41-year-old Jason Hanson. “Jason Hanson is one of the best kickers in the history of the NFL and I just feel honored to be able to go in there and kick with him and compete against him,” Dimke said. “Hopefully I can learn as much as I can from him.” Among the lessons Dimke hopes to learn from the veteran kicker are the ins and outs of making the jump to the professional level. “I think really just handling the transition from college to the pro level and understanding that it’s more of a business now than ever,” he said. “You know you gotta do your job or else they’ll find somebody else to do it for you.”
