FROM THE EDITOR Every May, the Champaign-Urbana area slowly empties as summer break begins. The Daily Illini, despite the summer slowdown, will continue its mindset of bringing the campus and community the best news coverage possible. Unlike what some may be familiar with in summers past, The Daily Illini will now print once a week, every Monday. With a trimmed down version of the paper during the year, we will have news, sports and an opinions section. You should expect both breaking and investigative news as we take more time to thoroughly report more human interest but also hard news stories.

Graduates celebrate time at Illinois, parents remark on students’ achievements BY GEORGE COVENTRY STAFF WRITER

Applause erupted and cameras flashed Sunday as graduating seniors received their University degrees and started a new chapter in their lives. Two commencement addresses were held at the Assembly Hall, the first at 10:30 a.m. and then later at 2 p.m. Commencement marked a pivotal moment for the class of 2012, and a sense of pride and accomplishment was visible in the smiles of graduates everywhere. For many, the University had touched their lives in numerous ways. Anthony Bae, an LAS graduate, said his involvement in College Students Against Cancer, a nonprofit organization that works with the American Cancer Society, had a profound impact on him. “Being in that club and getting to know other people and share my beliefs that one day we can bring an end to cancer was one of my most notable experiences,” Bae said. He also had some advice to give to the upcoming senior class. “Go to class,” he said. “Don’t ditch too often because then the homework really piles on ... classes will come and bite you if you’re not ready for them.” Stephen Edwards, an LAS graduate, said his fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi, has significantly shaped him as person. Edwards said he had mixed feelings about graduating. “I’m nervous, considering the job market, but I’m excited about it also,” he said. The balconies of the Assembly Hall were flooded with many proud parents who had witnessed the college transformations of their sons and daughters firsthand. Henrietta Mason, mother of Elizabeth Mason, LAS, said the University taught her daughter how to research, meet and learn new cultures and organize thoughts. She also said setting goals will help graduates be successful

during their new stage of life. “Set a goal, stay focused on the goal, and whatever resources you need in order to reach that goal will come to you if you stay focused on it,” she said. Mark Rahn, father of Matt Rahn (LAS), said Matt has grown and matured quite a bit while studying at the University. “He got to go over to Spain for a semester. That was a tremendous growing experience for him, so he’s a lot more mature and a lot more understanding of what it takes to be an adult and a contributing member of society,” Rahn said. A highlight of the morning commencement was the address given by Cokie Roberts, political commentator for ABC News and senior news analyst for National Publiwc Radio. Roberts’ accolades include being cited by the American Women in Radio and Television as one of the 50 greatest women in the history of broadcasting and being named a “Living Legend” by the Library of Congress in 2008. During her speech, Roberts criticized political partisanship in Congress and stressed the importance of public service and political engagement. “We need to do something so that our institutions that are created to make the country a better place and the lives of individual citizens better can succeed,” Roberts said. “I think it’s up to you, graduates of the class of 2012, to lead the way.” Roberts concluded her speech by emphasizing the role of every graduate in American society. “You will all serve and you will do it well with the great preparation you have been afforded at this public institution,” seh said. “But as you go forth, please consider the very special place of public service in the history of this nation, and make some history yourselves.”

More highlights from Roberts’ speech Roberts praised the University for its early commitment to people with disabilities. She credited its research for laying the groundwork for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). According to its official website, the ADA is a 1990 Civil Rights Law designed to protect the civil rights of people with disabilities in the United States. The ADA seeks to ensure that people with disabilities are fully integrated into society. It prohibits discrimination, requires that businesses provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities and that facilities and services be made accessible.

Its website upholds that ADA awareness will lead to a society where America’s goals of freedom, equality, justice and fairness can be attained, and each individual’s uniqueness is fully appreciated and their potential realized. “Another thing that just incredibly impressed me was the very, very early commitment to people with disabilities,” Roberts said. “I really had no notion of what groundbreakers you are here at the University of Illinois in this field. Showing the rest of the country how it can be done. Providing the first Olympic gold medalist in a wheelchair, and really laying the groundwork on one of the major pieces of public policy in the last generation.”

Adesida named University’s provost BY NATHANIEL LASH STAFF WRITER

After nearly three years without a provost, the University has chosen Ilesanmi Adesida, dean of the College of Engineering, to take over the position. Adesida, who has worked at the University in engineering since 1987 and as the college’s dean since 2006, will take over for current interim provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs Richard Wheeler on Aug. 16, pending approval of the appointment by the board of trustees. “Dean Adesida’s global experience, expertise in innovation, and leadership in public and private partnerships has given him a solid foundation on which to build as he helps guide our campus forward,” said Chancellor Phyllis Wise in a press release. Adesida will earn an annual salary of $430,000, a 59 percent increase from Wheeler and his predecessor Linda Katehi’s salary. Adesida, currently the second-highest paid dean on the campus with annual earnings of $326,966, the new job means a raise of over $100,000. “I’ve been here for a while, so I think it’s probably the market value,” he said. “The critical issue for me is getting to work on doing great things for the University.” Adesida won over two final candidates — Adam Gamoran of the University of Wisconsin and Ruth Watkins, dean of LAS — for the position. Adesida and the other finalists were hosted in public forums during early April where they presented their visions for the role of provost and answered questions from attendees. The incoming provost said he wants to take

a look at the University’s service mission to the state of Illinois. “We’re a land-grant institution, so we need to take stock of how we interact with the state and how we provide service to the state, for the maximum benefit of its citizens,” Adesida said. He said much of that involves promoting undergraduate education, with students being the University’s “primary product.” “We want to create great and grateful alumni — with an emphasis on ‘grateful,’” he said. “Down the line, with state resources diminishing, we have to rely on our alumni much more in the future.” He said his challenge as provost will be translating the success he’s had with Engineering — like undergraduate graduation rates — to the entire campus. “We have high ambitions as a University, and how do we execute those ambitions: making sure that we have enough resources to do it, or we deploy the resources we have to strategically invest in what we believe are our strengths and also what we believe is needed in the future to enhance that ambition,” he said. That emphasis on the future role of the University is expected to come into play soon, with Wise saying he will play a “critical role in developing and executing the next steps in the Visioning Future Excellence initiative,” which is geared toward the University’s role in the future decades from now. Adesida said he’s looking forward to working with Wise and president-designate Robert Easter, who served as ACES dean for part of Adesida’s time as the head of engineering. “In their own rights, (Wise and Easter) are top-notch scholars,” he said. “I’m both honored

PORTRAIT BY NATHANIEL LASH THE DAILY ILLINI

and humbled, because I respect their scholarship and what they bring to the table in terms of administration.” Adesida’s appointment came at the end of a search that hired out Atlanta-based firm Parker Executive Search to help drum up applicants, but ultimately led to the hire of an internal candidate. Before Wheeler, three of the last four provosts, including Linda Katehi and Richard Herman, came from outside the University.

Adesida is a Nigeria native, and returned to his home country after studying at the University of California, Berkeley. There he led a new electrical engineering department at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, but returned to teach at Illinois in 1987 to focus more on his research in the field of nanotechnology. In addition to serving as Engineering dean, Adesida is also a co-director of the University’s Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology.

Campus Recreation to start providing more summer hours Schedule expands at ARC and CRCE for Summer Session 1, 2 BY ALISON MARCOTTE STAFF WRITER

After surviving a grueling and anxietyridden finals week, students everywhere relish the freedom that lies ahead as they finish their last strenuous exam. Students who will be staying in Champaign-Urbana this summer can kick off their end-of-the-year celebration by taking advantage of the available Campus Recreation facilities. Aaron Beaudoin, customer service assistant who works at the Adventure Center at the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC), recommended using the Campus Recreation facilities over the summer. “I haven’t really experienced it over the summer yet, but from what I’ve been told, it’s sort of laid back. There are just not as many students on campus, so it’s not quite as busy,” said Beaudoin, sophomore in Engineering. Carla Chavez, freshman in LAS and referee for intramural soccer, suggested using the ARC outdoor pool. The combination of the warm weather and smaller population

of students makes going to the outdoor pool an enjoyable experience. “There are less people, and so a lot of people want to go,” Chavez said. “And the environment is great. I think it would just be more fun.” Since the Campus Recreation hours change over the summer, students should check the hours of operation before using the Campus Recreation facilities. The Summer 1 schedule began May 12 and goes till June 10, while the Summer 2 schedule starts June 11 and ends August 3. “In the summer, the biggest change really is all the buildings close at 9 o’clock,” said Erik Riha, lead assistant director of marketing at the ARC. During Summer Session 1, the ARC is open from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Campus Recreation Center East (CRCE) is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, and is closed over the weekend. All of the buildings open and have extended hours during Summer Session 2. Both the ARC and CRCE will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and the CRCE Water Slide will reopen. The ARC outdoor pool and ARC indoor pool will be open all summer — the outdoor pool from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and the indoor pool

from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. However, the Campus Recreation schedule changes for Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July and Intersession (which is from August 4 to August 15). Students can rent out Campus Recreation facilities over the summer for various events, such as post-graduation parties or summer parties. For example, over Memorial Weekend, the ARC has been rented out by the Malaysian Students Association (MSA), which will be hosting the Midwest Games International 2012, Riha said. Beaudoin said the climbing wall is frequently rented out during the school year, and recommended using it over the summer. “A lot of kids’ birthday parties are at the wall; they will come for two hours and climb,” Beaudoin said. “We’ve also had RSOs on campus rent out the wall and from what I saw, they had a good time.” Programs and activities will be available during the summer months. The Healthy Cooking programs, personal training, group fitness classes and the Adventure Center will all be open for students. “If a student had a group fitness pass for spring, that covers the Summer Session 1,” Riha said. “If you didn’t have a pass at all, you can purchase one for $30, which covers the entire length of time for Summer 1 and Summer 2.”

Campus Recreation facilities will be available to all University students during Summer Session 1 because spring semester fees cover that session. However, for Summer Session 2, students not enrolled in at least three hours of University summer courses will need buy an $85 membership pass in order to use the Campus Recreation facilities, Riha said. The membership will be valid from June 11 through Aug. 15. As well as having its usual programs and activities for students, Campus Recreation will also hold various events during the summer for non-University students. “(Campus Recreation) has summer camp and all these activities for kids during the summer, so I think that’s really cool,” Chavez said. Campus Recreation offers swimming lessons called Learn-to-Swim to children ages six months to three years old over the summer. It also has Aquatic Training for 15-yearolds and up, and a Masters Swim Team for University students. Whether students are looking to bask in the sun, live life on the edge by climbing the 35-foot climbing wall or to complete a hardcore workout on the treadmill, Campus Recreation will be available to students over the summer, fulfilling their variety of interests.

YOUR VOICE: OBAMA ON GAY MARRIAGE BY NORA IBRAHIM DESIGN EDITOR

President Barack Obama announced his endorsement for same-sex marriage Wednesday just after North Carolina passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage. The timing of his announcement and his stance have ignited more discussion around an already controversial topic. This is what you had to say about Obama’s stance.

“People try to be less risky about expressing what they believe, but if that’s your position, I say, ‘Why not?’ I hope people aren’t too critical.” TAYLOR SMITH, 2012 graduate

Republican finalists speak at public forum held for Johnson’s congress chair BY NATHANIEL LASH STAFF WRITER

The four candidates vying for outgoing Congressman Tim Johnson’s seat — Jerry Clarke, Rodney Davis, Erika Harold and Kathy Wassink — presented their platforms to Champaign voters at a public forum Saturday evening. The forum was led by Champaign County Republican Party chair Habeeb Habeeb, one of the 14 Republican Party chairmen who will decide May 19 which finalist will be the GOP’s candidate for the 13th district race that Johnson pulled out of soon after the March primaries. “I really care about winning the race,” said Habeeb, who estimated the attendance at 250 people. “(This district) leans slightly Democrat, just barely, so any one of them can be a great candidate, but I want the candidate who can appeal and win that race.” That candidate, armed with the GOP ticket, will have the task of going up against Democrat David Gill, who lost to Johnson in three prior elections. But beating Gill may prove more difficult in a district that Habeeb calls gerrymandered. “I know David Gill very, very well. He’s a nice guy, but he’s way too liberal for this district,” Clarke said, who said that Democrats may have overreached in the redistricting last summer. But Harold was less optimistic. “In order to win this election to represent the 13th district in Congress — which is now considered by most analysts to be trending Democratic — Republicans must reach out and earn the votes of those voters who do not traditionally vote for Republicans,” she said. “It will not be enough to simply rally the base. We must expand the team.” Wassink said that in getting those votes, she would use a technique called “swarming,” which she said helped flip local offices over to Republicans in Madison County. The candidates fielded a question on the University, asking how they could help support the state’s flagship institution, highlighted further by the many institutions of higher education. “We have to ensure that our educational institutions of higher learning remain the major economic engines we all know we are,” Davis said. Harold advocated for more private partnerships with the University, especially those that would involve further research into renewable energy. Wassink said more needs to be done to attract employers to colleges to improve graduate employment rates. She and Davis said more needs to be done to ensure that people are educated about the risks of taking out student loans. “We have to make sure that the person who gets that student loan is really serious,” Wassink said. “The financial bubble is coming, and it’s going to burst, and we’re all going to be paying for student loans because they can’t afford it.” Harold, who paid for her Harvard Law School education with

Harrison era ends; search to fill void begins following resignation JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

Kyle Harrison and his wife have been discussing moving from their home in northwest Champaign for a while, but moving is not a decision that Harrison takes lightly. He wanted to find the right place for his two young daughters, ages 5 and 7, and stay in the ChampaignUrbana county where he was born. But when Harrison changes his address from P.O. Box 7601, he will be moving out of District 3, a place he’s lived in for six years. With that, he must leave behind the title of councilman for District 3 that he has held since 2009. “We really found the home of our dreams,” Harrison said. “It was the perfect situation — the right price, great location. If it wasn’t this perfect, then we probably would’ve stayed, but all the pieces just fell in line.” He called the move a family decision, and effective June 15, the council will have 60 days from his May 4 resignation to fill the spot. Tuesday night, the Champaign City Council will meet in study session and decide how to fill the vacant seat. It’ll be the first change to the council since Mayor Don Gerard and Paul Faraci, council member District 5, were sworn in during May of 2011. Dorothy David, assistant city manager, said the goal for council would be to fill the seat before Harrison resigns. “That’s the hope,” Harrison said. “The peo-

ple of District 3 and people of the community are very, very important to me. I wanted to make sure that the folks in that District do not go unrepresented, so I was really trying to put their interests ahead of mine.” It has been his goal since taking over the seat to always listen to the people he represented, no matter if he agreed with them. Harrison was put into action right away as a council member, taking part in Champaign’s major budget reductions and the controversial Kiwane Carrington incident all within a year. In just three years, he’s worked with two different mayors and three different council members in District 5. Harrison has had to make some tough decisions, but says he loved every part of it. Successful projects include UC2B, the storm water utility fee and hiring a new police chief. “I’ve gotten to see some great things and contribute to some great things,” Harrison said after reflecting on his time. “It’s been an amazing experience.” If the council approves the plan they are given in study session Tuesday, a council bill will be placed on the June 19 agenda with a blank for the name inserted for appointment. Council members will then suggest names to fill in that blank. The first name to receive five or more votes will be inserted into the blank. Whoever the appointee is will have to run in the 2013 election when Harrison’s term would end.

Harrison will not endorse any future candidate in the interest of keeping the appointment transparent. Applications are currently available on the city website, and the seat requires the appointee to be a Champaign resident for at least one year and currently living in the District. Harrison hasn’t had a chance to think ahead to his future with city government yet, but he did assure that he planned to stay involved and volunteer his time to

some form of public service. Before becoming a council member, he spent a year on the planning committee — a position he wouldn’t mind returning to. But in about a month, Harrison will have to fi nd something to keep him busy on his Tuesday nights. He enjoys golf, but he’ll likely spend more time with his family. “Coming into these situations, you always try to leave it better than you found it,” Harrison said. “I personally think I did. I hope I did, but you’d have to ask the constituents.”

Korean army life challenges future plans Military requirement presents dilemma for international students BY MAGGIE O’CONNOR STAFF WRITER

Jung Hun Chae has a big decision to make. Like any other University student, the sophomore in LAS wants to enjoy the relief that follows choosing a major, filling in that last multiple choice bubble on a final exam and making summer plans with friends; instead, he needs to determine whether he will delay his 21-month military service requirement in South Korea, which is currently scheduled to begin this August. No matter what he decides, Chae knows

that, along with every South Korean male over the age of 18, he eventually must complete this conscription — and the sooner, the better. Chae says that he can delay his scheduled beginning date up to around a week before, but he originally indicated that he would prefer to go early. According to Chae, it is recommended to go at a younger age. This is primarily because soldiers are ranked largely based on how long they have served. In other words, a 30-yearold who just began his service could be receiving orders from a 19-year-old who is several months into his requirement. While Chae does not cite this as one of the reasons for his decision to enter the Korean military so young, he also said that a disruption of the age hierarchy in Korean culture could be considered “humiliating.” For Chae, building an academic background

before entering the military, or goondae, was the classroom. In some cases, however, intemost important for his future plans to work grating them with Koreans who have studied abroad can emphasize the differences in in South Korea.

Tips to help you move out for the summer RENEE WUNDERLICH Opinions columnist

s an out-of-state undergrad who’s always striving to get out of the country, I have had to adopt a pretty solid packing strategy. I’m talking beyond rolling socks into shoes. And with campus in a state of seasonally-induced transition, I figured I would share the tricks that I discovered (and some that I stole) to help you pack for your next big move or next month’s vacation. 1. I already mentioned rolling your socks in your shoes to save space, which is a decent trick if you only have to pack a few pairs. But what if you are moving into a new apartment or back with your parents? Wrap knee socks (ladies) or dress socks (gentlemen) around

glassware to protect them from scratches or chips. You can stuff a pair of socks or two inside the glasses as well for good measure. 2. Grouping like-things is usually your best bet when it comes to organization for large packing trips. But if you’re going on a weekend get-away, don’t feel like all your shirts have to be lined in a row. Look at the shape of your bag or suitcase. Rectangle, “traditional” luggage with a hard shell structure works well for grouping, but canvas duffels don’t have a pre-formed shape. To get the most out of a gym bag or cylinder duffel, pack tightly to the ends, stuffing socks and underwear into crevices. Then find the heaviest item (usually jeans or shoes), and pack them on the bottom, distributing weight evenly. I’m a fan of rolling garments (if you couldn’t tell already), but folding jeans and t-shirts may be a better option with an overnight bag that has little structure. Keep filling the bag from heaviest items to lightest. 3. This sounds like common sense because it is: whether you’re moving home for the sum-

mer or traveling across the globe, keep your most important documents and items with you at all times. This means even though I’m driving from Illinois to Pennsylvania and have no need for my passport, I keep it with my wallet, cell phone and other necessities. This can also be applied to electronics, specifically chargers. You know you would never forget your laptop or various gadget that begins with a lowercase “i,” but what will you when you find out your precious cords and converters are buried in ... well, whichever bag or box you tossed them into. Roll all chargers up, put them in individual plastic bags if you so desire, and stash them together in your purse or backpack. 4. This next tip is for those of you moving to a new space, like a house or apartment that you either haven’t seen before or been in for a while. Pack things like tools, scissors, tape, garbage bags and pencils or pens last. These are always items that help throughout the packing process and you may need access to immediately once you arrive.

From the streets of New York to the fields of Champaign: ‘Life’s a journey’ KATIE TRAVERS

Share your thoughts

5. I found this out the hard way: don’t pack laundry detergent or any liquids or wax candles near paper products...like textbooks. If you leave these items in a storage unit over a Champaign summer, the candles will melt, the detergent will leak and you will be stuck re-buying what you didn’t sell back to T.I.S. or Folletts. It sucks. 6. Put your name on everything! Cardboard boxes, storage containers, luggage — regardless of where you’re going or for how long, do this to keep yourself sane and avoid others from mistaking your items for theirs. This is a big one for moving in and out of the dorms. As an ex-RA, I can’t tell you how many times residents complained of lost luggage, only to have it turn up at another room on a different floor. And in the rare case that someone is trying to steal your belongings, the evidence of ownership is in your favor.

our months ago, I decided to leave New York University as the second semester to my sophomore year was beginning. While I have learned since then that abrupt decisions are not always best, my leave of absence from school turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. I’ve learned that trusting my instincts isn’t such a bad idea and some ambiguous months can teach some unique lessons that research papers, deadlines and academic anxiety simply do not. I would recommend anyone planning to take some unconventional time off school to have good reason, but also prepare for its unique challenges. Don’t leave school because you’re channeling your inner Howard Roark or your latest English class fails to meet your ideal. Don’t leave and fail to return. Do what you can to make some money while you’re away from school. Any job provides new perspectives and is a great opportunity.

When I left school in January, I had lost sight of my goals; I was confused about what I was doing and why I was at NYU in the first place. I knew something wasn’t right, and four months later I am confident that leaving was a good choice. But returning home meant leaving all of my friends at NYU behind and that all of my friends from home would be away at school. Let me add that spending my commute to work memorizing verses of “The Waste Land” and listening to “Angles” wasn’t going to appease my absence of friends. Though my time spent flying solo was kind of uncomfortable, it made me realize how truly important my friendships are to me. Whether we’re trying to forge professional paths or taking some time off to search, keeping friends close is critical. My time off helped me start to see how one can approach daily life through a slightly different lens than what I was used to. With the results of my transfer looming, I was anxious; I was working everyday and had no real homework. Away from school, I couldn’t get caught up in the competition of classes or grades or worry about which internship I

was applying for over the summer. I started to see that every experience was a chance to make a connection, to hear someone’s story or to tell your own; every day is a chance to learn and be attentive to daily life, which means making observations and loving the little things. I started to notice how some bigger questions can tug at us during college if we let them. What do we really want as individuals? What do we have to do to get there? How can I be as effective as possible with what I have right now in this situation? The importance of coursework and professional goals remain critical, but taking a step back to rethink my true goals was actually empowering. A semester suspended in transition leaves me feeling refreshed. I’m excited to get back to school, but I’ve started to embrace the “life’s a journey” mentality. As my friend Liz reassured me back in January, “undergraduate school doesn’t fit into everyone’s life like a perfect little puzzle piece.” She’s right. And after my time off, I’m thinking that’s for the best.

Abdelnour’s performance helps men’s tennis advance BY MAX TANE STAFF WRITER

With the Big Ten title on the line, the hero was Roy Kalmanovich. With a trip to the Sweet Sixteen on the line in Saturday’s second round of the NCAA Tournament, the hero was Bruno Abdelnour. With all eyes on court three during a 3-3 match between the No. 16 Illini and No. 17 Auburn, Abdelnour rose to the occasion, clinching the match with a 7-6 2-6 6-3 victory over Daniel Cochrane. “That was a lot of pressure,” Abdelnour said. “Probably the toughest situation I’ve been in my life.” After fighting through a first set tiebreaker, Abdelnour seemed to be on the defensive for most of the second set. “He was more aggressive,” Abdelnour said. “Once he broke me I got distracted. He was playing with no pressure.” “I did not like where he was at the beginning of the third set,” head coach Brad Dancer said. “I thought he was nervous, edgy, and he was talking about things that were unimportant and irrelevant. I think we were able to calm him down and get him in a mode where he needed to be.” But the length of the match seemed to take its toll on both players in the third set. “He wasn’t tight before that,” Abdelnour said. “That helped me a little bit. Of course we were both tight. But a lot of his mistakes were because of that.” The three odd-numbered courts all brought singles victories to the Illini. Before the climactic ending to Abdelnour’s three-set match, senior Dennis Nevolo and junior Stephen Hoh prevailed in first and fifth singles with straight set victories, respectively. “The character of this team is relentless,” Nevolo said. “Roy was an animal at the Big Ten Tournament. I just thought Bruno was abso-

lutely relentless today. There were some times in that third set where he was in trouble, but he just played so solid and gave everything he had.” Early on, Illinois was able to seize the doubles point, taking an early 1-0 lead heading into singles. The No. 21 ranked tandem of Nevolo and Kalmanovich upset the No. 9 ranked pair of Andy Mies and Alex Stamchev, 8-6. Not too long after, Abdelnour and Hoh finished with an 8-6 victory as well. “We’ve never beaten a team of this caliber before in doubles,” head coach Brad Dancer said. “We talked to SEC coaches and they said there was no way we were going to win the doubles point. So maybe we were a little bit fortunate.” Auburn regained the lead at 3-2 after taking second, fourth and sixth singles in straight sets. Nevolo put the pressure on Abdelnour after he tied the match with his 7-6 6-4 victory over Mies, who came in ranked No. 18 nationally. “They have a very tough team,” Dancer said. “Top of the lineup is very strong. I was very impressed with Auburn all the way through their lineup.” Illinois now advances to the Sweet Sixteen in Athens, Ga., where it will face the No. 1 seed in the tournament and three-time defending national champion, Southern California. “I’m excited,” Nevolo said. “We’ve shown we can take down a ranked team before. We broke Ohio State’s record and hopefully we can break USC’s.” At the conclusion of Nevolo’s match, members of the Illini gathered on court five to watch Abdelnour on court three. However, they were told to exit to the stands by Dancer. “Last time we went off the court and came back on, we were up 5-0, 40-love against Texas A&M and lost it,” Dancer said. “So I thought let’s keep it away from that and have enough of a celebration if we win it.”

Illini baseball swept in weekend series BY JEFF KIRSHMAN COPY CHIEF

After a three-game sweep at the hands of Penn State, Illinois’ Big Ten Tournament hopes are in serious jeopardy. The Illini were unable to capitalize on a complete-game, three-run outing by Friday starter Kevin Johnson and left the potential go-ahead runners in the final frames of Saturday and Sunday’s contests. Illinois held a lead in all three games on the weekend. The Illini (26-24, 9-12 Big Ten) now sit in eighth place in the Big Ten and two games out of the final qualifying spot for the Big Ten Tournament. Penn State (27-24, 13-8) finds itself in second place in the conference. The sweep of the Illini was the first of the Big Ten season for the Nittany Lions, who have now won five straight weekend series. Johnson entered Friday’s contest at Medlar Field in University Park, Penn., knowing he’d need a strong outing facing a potent Nittany Lions lineup. He was in control for much of the game before giving up a home run to Penn State’s Jordan Steranka in the top of the sixth inning. Penn State’s first baseman and cleanup hitter went 6-for-11 with three doubles, two home runs and three RBIs during the series. “It was only the second homer I gave up all year, but it

was a pretty big one and at a crucial situation,” Johnson said. “In my eyes, I feel like that kinda lost us the game and it gets me mad that I let down my teammates.” Penn State’s defense made five errors in Friday’s game, yet the Illini were never able to come up with the key hit with runners in scoring position. “It was a game that you feel like you should win when you look at the stats, but the only stat that matters is what’s in the runs column,” Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb said. John Kravetz took the bump for Illinois in Saturday’s game, giving up four earned runs on three hits in six innings. The Illini took the early lead with three runs in the first inning and also grabbed a 6-5 lead after the top of the seventh. But the Nittany Lions scored three runs of their own in the bottom of the inning. Illinois threatened to take the lead with two outs in the top of the ninth after loading the bases, but failed to advance a runner across the plate. Sunday’s game was scoreless until the top of the sixth inning, when Willie Argo scored from second base off a line-drive single to left field by Jordan Parr. With runners at first and third, the right-handed Walter picked off Jordan at first and struck out Thomas Shelton to end the inning. “We had some momentum going and we were looking to tack on another run or two and we made a terrible base-

running mistake,” Hartleb said. “It wasn’t very smart, and those little things catch up with you in tight games.” Penn State answered with a run of its own in the bottom of the frame. Illini starter Drasen Johnson gave up a one-out walk to DeBernadis, bringing Steranka to the plate. Steranka belted a changeup down the right-field line to score DeBernardis from first base to tie the game 1-1. Hartleb pulled Johnson in favor of Matt Milroy, who walked a batter before retiring the next two to get out of the jam. Jordan Parr began the top of the inning with a double to right field before Penn State head coach Robbie Wine pulled starter John Walter. Illinois again failed to score key runs late, falling 3-2 to allow Penn State to secure the sweep. Illinois has three more games against Minnesota to squeeze into postseason play. The Golden Gophers (28-25, 10-11) currently sit one game in front of the Illini in seventh place. The sixth and final Big Ten Tournament spot belongs to Ohio State (30-22, 11-10), which is two games ahead of the Illini. “You work hard all year to make it ... and once you get into the tournament it’s a new ballgame,” Parr said. “It’s a whole new season. I think we can compete with anyone in the conference. If we take care of business this weekend, we’ll be just fine.”

Muck: Illinois reliever by day, DJ ‘R3GO’ by night

Right-hander finds solace in off-field hobby of mixing music, entertaining team BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

During bus rides for the Illinois baseball team’s road games, reliever Ronnie Muck usually sits in the back. He puts his headphones on, takes out his laptop and is occupied for the entire ride. He isn’t purposely isolating himself from the rest of the team. The soft-spoken sophomore pitcher is just expressing himself. Muck has been mixing music since the seventh grade. His interest in DJing first came from, as he put it, “just messing around on my computer.” When the Illini need sound editing done for their batting walk-up songs and warm-up music before home games, they usually go to Muck. He likes to experiment with all different kinds of music, though he said he doesn’t create his own. In the fall, Muck DJed and mixed music for fraternities and parties. For Muck, music and DJing provide a chance to relax and get him in a “steady state of mind.” It seems to work, especially since he’s usually called upon in stressful bullpen situations. Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb uses Muck when his pitchers can’t get out of a tough inning. Muck will come in with runners on base and he’s been Illinois’ most reliable arm out of the bullpen. He had stranded 13 of 16 inherited runners this season coming into this weekend’s series against Penn State. “I got used to being able to do my job and being able to get ground balls and get people out, so I don’t really think about it anymore,”

Muck said. “I’m expecting to do that kind of stuff now. That’s my role.” A reliever may be his role on the team, but his role on the dance floor is that of DJ R3GO (pronounced Ree-go). His teammates chide him about his love for music. “I like music with words,” center fielder Willie Argo said with a laugh. Pitching coach Drew Dickinson agreed, saying he doesn’t really like techno, but that the players are enthusiastic and support Muck. “They definitely like that,” Dickinson said. “That’s why they call him DJ R3GOSUAVE.” When Muck performed at Canopy Club two weeks ago, most of the Illinois baseball team was in the front row cheering him on. “We were all going crazy for him and thought it was awesome,” said Muck’s roommate, shortstop Thomas Lindauer. “You could tell he had a great time, and after that I gave him a big hug. He was all pumped up about it.” Muck performed with some of his friends from Park Ridge, Ill., and rented the lights and lasers to put on a show for about an hour. “I’ve never played in front of a lot of people like that before,” Muck said. “It was so cool to see the guys out there.” The Illini try to keep their clubhouse relaxed and focused with music. A similar mindset will be important for Illinois, which has put itself in a position where it needs to win out to try to earn a Big Ten Tournament berth. “I think we’re pretty loose,” Lindauer said. “I know we have good players, and I think everybody else on our team knows that, so we’re just going to come out how we always have.” Muck had his first bad outing of the year against Penn State on Saturday, lasting just 2/3 innings and allowing three runs in his first loss of the season.

Bench helps Clippers advance in playoffs BY TERESA M. WALKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Los Angeles Clippers refused to let a third chance to knock the Memphis Grizzlies out of the playoffs slip away. Kenyon Martin scored seven of his 11 points in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers advanced to the Western Conference semifi nals with an 82-72 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 7 on Sunday. “That’s why it’s seven games,” Martin said. “If you don’t do it before, you get another chance. So they did what they had to do, they came and stole home court back on our floor. ... We had a chance to close it out. We knew we let it go, an opportunity get away.” The Clippers blew an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter Friday night. So Martin huddled the Clippers together at the start of the fourth quarter Sunday, and the veteran led the bench in outscoring the Grizzlies 27-16. Chris Paul had the only bucket by a starter in the fi nal 12 minutes, and the Clippers’ bench outscored the Memphis reserves 41-11 overall. “Our bench was our MVP,” Clippers guard Randy Foye said. “They realized what they had to do. We had a lot of guys hurt, so we just continued to grind.” Now, the Clippers have their third postseason series win in 41 years and their second since relocating to Los Angeles. They last beat Denver in 2006. The Clippers also avoided becoming the ninth NBA team to blow a 3-1 lead in a best-of-seven series in moving on to play the top-seeded Spurs starting Tuesday night in

San Antonio. “I want the guys to enjoy this, and then we’ll regroup tomorrow and focus in on that,” Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. “But obviously another big challenge for us.” Paul scored 19 points despite playing with a strained right hip flexor. Nick Young had nine of his 13 off the bench in the fourth as the Clippers fi nished off the series with their biggest margin of victory. Paul was so confident of victory he bought plane tickets for his wife and son to San Antonio on Saturday. “I felt like we should have won earlier,” Paul said. “But it doesn’t matter. As long as you win, I think it is a step in the right direction for our franchise. Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol each had 19 for Memphis, which lost a Game 7 at Oklahoma City a year ago in the second round of the playoffs. Zach Randolph had a game-high 12 rebounds. “Unfortunately, no one on the bench stepped up and helped us,” Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. The Clippers, who trailed 56-55 after three quarters, took control by opening the fourth with an 11-2 run started by a jumper by Martin. He tipped in a shot for a 66-58 lead with 8:41 left. Mo Williams matched the Clippers’ biggest lead to that point at 10 with a 3-pointer pushing it to 71-61 with 7:04 left in a 16-5 spurt to open the quarter. “They hit shots in a hurry,” Gay said of the Clippers. “They made plays off our turnovers, and they just converted, something we weren’t doing at that time.”

MVP James gets 32 points and Game 1 win over Pacers BY TIM REYNOLDS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI — LeBron James got his trophy, and then he and Dwyane Wade made sure the Miami Heat got a win in Game 1. James scored 32 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in his first game as a three-time MVP, Wade finished with 29 despite struggling from the floor, and the Heat beat the Indiana Pacers 95-86 to open their Eastern Conference semifinal series on Sunday. Chris Bosh scored 13 points for Miami, but left late in the first half with a lower abdominal injury and did not return. The Heat outscored Indiana 25-16 in the fourth, with Wade and James combining for 22 of those points. David West and Roy Hibbert each scored 17 points and combined for 23 rebounds for the Pacers, who got 10 points each from Darren Collison and George Hill. Game 2 is Tuesday in Miami. The Heat never led by more than two until 9:20 remained in the game, when a layup by James gave Miami a 76-72 edge. Wade added another basket about 30 seconds later, and the margin eventually reached eight when James made two free throws with 7:52 left. Back came Indiana, which got within 86-85 on a 3-pointer by Hill with 4:51 left after Miami went cold again. But one big flurry — capped by a dunk from James in transition and Wade coming from behind to block a shot by Paul George at the rim about a half-minute later — gave the Heat some breathing room. Wade and James scored 20 straight Miami

points in the fourth, a string ended by a free throw from Joel Anthony with 1:05 left. After Hibbert missed a jumper on the next Indiana possession, James connected with 31.8 seconds left for a 95-86 Miami lead, and it was soon over. Wade shot only 8 for 23 from the field, and the Heat missed all six of their attempts from 3-point range — a first in team playoff history. But the Heat held a 45-38 rebounding edge, and allowed Indiana to make only 11 of 31 shots after halftime. Danny Granger shot 1 for 10 for Indiana, scoring only seven points. Commissioner David Stern was on hand to present James with his MVP trophy in a pregame ceremony that was capped by the Heat star telling fans how “electricity” was going to be important throughout the playoffs. One team came out electrified — and it wasn’t Miami. The Pacers trailed for only 56 seconds in the first half, never down by more than a basket. Indiana opened the game with an 11-4 run, held Miami to 37 percent shooting in the first two quarters, and rode the strength of a 19-6 edge in bench scoring to take a 48-42 lead going into halftime — surviving some foul trouble as well.Of the 10 players Indiana coach Frank Vogel used in the first half, seven had at least two fouls, and Hill had three. But by then, Miami had a bigger problem to address. The Heat announced during halftime that Bosh would not return because of a lower abdominal injury. Bosh shot 6-for-11 in the first half, the last three of his points com-

ing with 1:06 remaining after a dunk while getting fouled by Hibbert. Bosh remained down for a few moments, then got up slowly and made his free throw. While going back down to the defensive end, Bosh started limping and grabbing at his midsection. He eventually fell to his knees in pain, and was replaced by Ronny Turiaf with 43.6 seconds left. Bosh was grimacing as he headed to the Heat locker room for evaluation, as his wife covered an anguished look on her face while watching from courtside. Even with Bosh out, things started going Miami’s way in the third quarter. The Heat held the Pacers to 31 percent shooting in the period, and Anthony’s dunk off an assist from Wade tied the game heading to the fourth at 70-all. And the foul trouble compounded for Indiana early in the third, when Hill ran over Mario Chalmers with 8:26 left.Hill was trying to get to the Pacers’ bench area to call timeout. Chalmers got in front of him near midcourt, held his ground and referee Scott Foster called Hill for the charge — his fifth foul, as Vogel argued otherwise. Vogel was fined $15,000 by the NBA on Saturday for comments he made last week about how he believes the Heat flop too much in efforts to get calls from referees. “He was just manipulating the refereeing or trying to,” Stern said in a televised interview during the game. “I would have fined him much more than our office did. But I tell you what, I think it’s a legitimate concern. Some years ago, I told the competition

Sweep to Northwestern ends Illini’s NCAA hopes BY KYLE MILNAMOW STAFF WRITER

The in-state rivalry between Northwestern and Illinois was all that was keeping the Illini softball team from a possible berth into the NCAA regionals. The task of taking down the Wildcats proved too much for the Orange and Blue, as they were swept in three games. The final series of the year for Illinois (27-26, 10-14 Big Ten) — a doubleheader Friday and one game Saturday instead of the usual Saturday doubleheader and one game Sunday — was basically all Northwestern (27-27, 14-10). The Illini jumped on the Wildcats early in game one of the doubleheader and scored in the top of the first. This marked the fourth straight game the Illini had taken the early lead against an opponent. After the Wildcats tied it up, the Illini took a 2-1 lead in the fifth with a solo home run by freshman third baseman Jess Perkins. That lead would not last long, though. In the bottom of the fifth, the Wildcats showed why they lead the Big Ten in home runs when second baseman Anna Edwards tied the game with a blast over the left field wall. After a throwing error by pitcher Pepper Gay, the Wildcats were able to advance the runner on infield sacrifices and a double by senior infielder Adrienne Monka to give Northwestern the lead and eventual winning run. “I knew this weekend was really big for us and we needed to get at least a couple of wins,” Gay said. “I went out there and wanted to do my best, but they got that home run in that one inning and also scored one more run that was the winning run. “I was trying to be calm. I didn’t want to show anyone

that I was stressed, but I knew it was a big game to win.” Lack of hitting has been a problem all year for the Illini, who are last in the Big Ten for batting average and runs, and it continued in the second game. After once again allowing the first run of the game, the Wildcats tallied four runs in the bottom of the first to take a lead they would not lose. Junior pitcher Jackie Guy was on the hill in the second game for the Illini but used her bat in the top half of the second inning to try and rally back. After getting a single, she would eventually score, along with junior catcher Stephanie Cuevas, on back-to-back RBI singles by sophomore pitch hitter Jenna Mychko and junior shortstop Jessica Davis. The Illini faced a one-run deficit heading into the bottom of the second. It would be the closest Illinois got to the Wildcats before they pulled away, winning 7-3. While the lack of hitting has been common for the Illini, the notable absence this weekend was senior Meredith Hackett. The power-hitting first baseman failed to get a hit in the entire series. “We need her to hit, she is a big hitter for us and it just wasn’t her weekend,” head coach Terri Sullivan said. “They kind of went right at her and certainly she was disappointed, but there were so many occasions where she has come through for us. It just wasn’t her weekend.” The Saturday game ran much like the second game in the doubleheader fewer than 24 hours before. The Illini scored first and looked to be in good shape with Gay on the mound.

After cruising through three innings, the flood gates opened up in the fourth. “In the fourth inning, I walked a couple of batters to get on base, then they scored a run on a sac fly and they scored more runs with players on base and I couldn’t get the final out of the inning,” Gay said. “I feel like they knew what was coming, they swung really hard and were very aggressive. “They swung at every strike I threw. I give them credit for hitting me.” Northwestern scored nine runs — only one earned — in their half of the fourth, leaving Illinois in a hole it couldn’t get out of. The final outcome would have the Wildcats over the Illini 10-3. With the sweep, the Illini will miss the NCAA regionals for a second straight year. “We came out today and I think they had the right frame of mind, right approach and we got beat and sometimes when you get beat that is all that needs to be said,” Sullivan said. “We would have liked to finish playing the style of play that we’ve been playing the past three to four weeks, and we didn’t do that today and Northwestern took advantage of that.” Illinois entered this week tied for second place in the Big Ten for overall record. Inconsistency, as Coach Sullivan made a point of noting, played a part in Illinois’ fate this weekend. “We did have spurts of playing well, but again at this level, in the conference and nationally you have to find a way to (play with) more consistency than we did,” Sullivan said.

Surging Royals take rubber match against White Sox BY JAY COHEN THE ASSOCAITED PRESS

CHICAGO — The Kansas City Royals lost their starting pitcher in the first inning and were in the middle of a hitless day at the plate before pinch-hitter Johnny Giavotella turned it all around with one big swing. Giavotella hit a two-run double off Matt Thornton in the seventh inning and Jeff Francoeur belted his first homer of the season, leading the Royals to a 9-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. “We were dead and (Giavotella) put up a huge at-bat against a guy who’s not easy to hit and throws 97,” Francoeur said. “So I thought that kind of livened us up and then we were able to relax and have some good swings.” Alcides Escobar went 3-for-3 with two walks for Kansas City, which broke it open with six runs in the ninth inning. Francoeur also had an RBI single and made a nice play in right field. Kansas City won for the fourth time in five games despite losing Danny Duffy to elbow tightness after just three batters. The left-hander recorded two outs before catcher Humberto Quintero saw him shake out his arm at the end of a throw, prompting a mound visit from manager Ned Yost and a trainer. “As soon as he said, ‘It’s in my elbow,’ I said, ‘That’s it,’” Yost said. “We need to get that checked, see what’s going on there and go from there.” Duffy was headed back to Kansas City on Sunday night and is scheduled for an MRI exam on Monday. He also experienced tightness in his elbow last month. “You can’t worry about things like this until you know what it is,” Duffy said. “My main concern was letting down my team. These guys are my brothers in here. They did a great job of picking me up.” Luis Mendoza came in and pitched 5 2-3 innings, keeping the Royals in the game while they struggled to score against Philip Humber. Mendoza (2-2) allowed one run and seven hits, struck out four and walked two. “Just tried to get that confidence,” he said. “I mean the

last three appearances, I feel good and more confident, too.” Humber broke out of his post-perfect game slump, pitching four-hit ball into the seventh inning. But the White Sox still lost for the fourth time in their last five home games. Humber walked Escobar with one out in the seventh, but got Humberto Quintero to foul out before he was replaced by left-hander Matt Thornton (1-3) with the White Sox clinging to a 1-0 lead. Jarrod Dyson then walked, and both runners moved up on a wild pitch. Giavotella followed with a double down the right-field line, giving the Royals the lead with his first hit of the season. He is 1-for-10 in four games since he was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday. “I was glad to be a spark,” Giavotella said. “We couldn’t score against Humber. He was keeping us at bay, so I’m glad I was able to get a big knock for us.” Humber struck out seven and walked three in his best start since his gem at Seattle on April 21. The 29-year-old BRIAN KERSEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS right-hander was 0-2 with a 13.50 ERA Kansas City Royals’ Alcides Escobar, right, scores past Chicago White Sox relief pitcher in his previous three outings. Addison Reed on a passed ball during the ninth inning of Sunday’s game in Chicago. The “Definitely a step in the right direc- Royals won 9-1. tion,” he said. Francoeur hit a drive to left off Nate Jones in the eighth out in the eighth but Kosuke Fukudome struck out and fellow for his first homer since Sept. 23 at U.S. Cellular Field. He pinch-hitter A.J. Pierzynski bounced out to end the inning. “We’ve been leaving guys on base, we had opportunities also made a nice sliding catch on Brent Morel’s drive to the warning track in the fourth before nearly doubling off Tyler today,” manager Robin Ventura said. “We have guys that are swinging OK, it’s just not coming through. You have to Flowers with a strong throw to first. The White Sox put runners on first and second with one continue to grind. I know they’re going to work and go at it.”
