Graduates turn toward their family and friends to thank them for their support with a round of applause.

Rain showers couldn’t cloud the excitement of graduates and their families as they attended the University’s 144th campus-wide commencement ceremony on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

The event opened with a speech by Chancellor Phyllis Wise, who shared her hopes for the graduates.

“I hope that your experiences at Illinois have transformed you and that you are not the same person who walked onto this campus a few years ago,” Wise said. “I hope you believe that you can’t change the world by standing still. Living a life of impact is measured by the people you touch (and) the communities you make stronger.”

A speech by Edward McMillan, chairman of the Board of Trustees, followed. McMillan made remarks to the graduates about the importance of diversity at the University.

“In part, because of that diversity, we are

a shining monument to excellence and innovation,” McMillan said.

Before sharing a few remarks on his time at the University, University President Robert Easter gave a welcome to incoming President Timothy Killeen.

“Today’s commencement will be etched in my memory, just as yours is,” Easter said. “It’s the last of more than 40 years that I’ve been at the University of Illinois.”

Easter then shared some advice to graduates on achieving success.

“Decide what your passion is, and follow it,” he said. “If you’re doing what you truly love in life, life will never seem like work, and work will seem like play.”

The presentation of awards and the conferring of honorary degrees followed the speeches. The combined chorus sang two songs before commencement speaker Risa J. Lavizzo-Mourey took the stage.

Lavizzo-Mourey is president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the largest charitable foundation in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to health care. Forbes named Lavizzo-Mourey one of The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women for the past two years.

Lavizzo-Mourey first asked graduates to stand and give a round of applause to all of their friends, family, professors and supporters.

She then began her speech by thanking graduates “for entering the field of health.”

She went on to explain that: “Health isn’t only about curing illness or choosing the right food or exercising. It’s the bedrock of your personal fulfillment. It’s the backbone of our nation’s prosperity. It’s an essential part of everything we do. And right now, the state of our nation’s health is not exactly a badge of pride.”

She then called upon graduates to step in

and make the necessary changes to improve the nation’s health.

“And now, it’s your turn to take the lead,” Lavizzo-Mourey said. “And I’m so very glad you are.”

“We need your vision, we need your leadership, and we need your impatience against the status quo. We need you to change the conversation, not just join it. We need you to address and cure and solve the major issues facing us today.”

Lavizzo-Mourey finished her speech by reciting Alice Walker’s poem “The Nature of This Flower is to Bloom.”

“Graduates of 2015, live against the elemental crush,” she reflected the verses of the poem. “Become a song of color, bloom gloriously for deserving eyes — bloom gloriously for yourselves.”

Marrissa Hellesen never recieved a high school education, but she worked her way to earn an undergaduate degree in computer science. Hellesen walked the stage at graduation on Sunday and will begin a job with Microsoft this summer.

Her hard work has paid off, as Hellesen will be starting work at Microsoft this summer as a software developer for Word.

Her 10-year plan is to be a CEO of a company.

Hellesen said she has noticed the gender divide in the fields of engineering and computer science and wishes that more women would step into the field.

“Women can do this. A lot of women think they can’t, and a lot of people think women can’t, but we’re just as capable, and I think it’s important that women experience what computing is — not just hackers in the basement drinking Mountain Dew and eating

pizza,” Hellesen said. “It’s a beautiful, fun, creative art, and I wish more women knew that and more women saw it.”

Her advice for high school dropouts and students who might be going through a difficult time is to buckle down and push through.

“You just have to decide that you want it, and it’s not going to happen because anybody else wants you to do it,” she said. “You have to decide that you’re going to buckle down and push through. … And once you’ve made that decision, there’s nothing that can stop you.”

South Side Elementary school celebrates 90 years CHRIS REINHART CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Champaign’s South Side Elementary School celebrated its 90th anniversary on Saturday.

Former students explored the school while current students participated in various activities on the playground.

“It’s good to see people come back who used to go to school here,” Assistant Principal Julie Blixen said.

Several creative projects done by the students were exhibited throughout the school for visitors to see. These projects included posters and sculptures of animals.

The celebration was an open house event, so people were free to walk around the school and enter all of the classrooms.

One of the fi rst grade classrooms had class pets on display, including a turtle, a guinea pig and a bearded dragon.

Outside, there was a snow cone truck and a Dragon Fire Pizza food truck. There were also bubbles for the kids to play with.

Emily Godlewski, a third grade teacher at South Side, received special recogni-

tion from her students at the event. One of her students proudly wrote, “I love Ms. Godlewski” in chalk next to her while she was eating, so that she could see it.

Mike Hartman, a former student of South Side, noted that not much has changed since he attended the school.

He said that South Side still looks very similar to how it used to look, except for the fact that the building now had more classrooms.

Hartman also said that what was most special about South Side Elementary to him was “the long-term friendships (he) made when (he) moved there in fi rst grade.”

He even met his future wife at the school, who was a fellow classmate in his fi rst year there.

When asked what Hartman remembered best about South Side Elementary, he was quick to answer, “making friends on the playground and sledding down the hill behind the school in the winter.”

Historically black colleges offer students rich culture, rigor KATRICE PERKINS Opinions editor

‘Tis the season for commencement.

Some have been waiting all their lives to walk across the stage and receive those expensive diplomas. It’s a great year to also celebrate black excellence. The amount of black students I have seen getting diplomas is encouraging and inspiring.

With accomplishments, however, naturally comes bad talking. The most prominent discussion I’ve seen now is PWIs (predominately white institutions) versus HBCUs (historically black colleges and universities).

Some say that a degree from an HBCU isn’t needed, while others think HBCUs altogether aren’t needed.

PWI versus HBCU is a big discussion on social media. If you do a search on Twitter, you’ll see tons of tweets about it.

It’s quite interesting. Do majority students at PWIs even know what it means?

Moonshadows Editor’s Note: Guy Tal, University alumnus, is a guest columnist to the Daily Illini. This is the first in a series that details his experiences during a bike expedition down the coast of California with Kamilla Gray Kinard, Ryne Leuzinger and Nora Tien.

Some say the moon resembles a man, but I’ve never seen him. I see a face on a disk with eyebrows bowed, often in shadow, and a smile more accepting than joyful. The gender has never been clear.

My friend Dan sees a rabbit making potato pancakes. The moon’s right eyebrow is actually the rabbit’s ears. The rabbit is in profile looking to the left. Following down the curves of his form, you see him pounding away at his creation, his expression unreadable but his work ethic impeccable.

I’ve never caught him slacking on the job.

Photographs of the moon show nothing but craters. *** Day 0: Santa Cruzin’ “You haven’t really surfed until you’ve drank a cup of sea water,” Ryne Leuzinger says to me, and the words help with the nausea. I’m a surfer now, never mind that I haven’t really managed to stand up on my

If you’re a majority, do you think about the minorities?

Are PWIs still needed? Of course. They were created at a time when schools were segregated, but even though students have the opportunity to go to integrated schools, most are still predominately white.

I think it’s a cop-out to say, “I went to a PWI because I needed to learn how to work with other races because that’s what the real world is like.”

Most college students, no matter where they are, hang out with people of the same racial background. So you can go to a PWI, and your close friends will mostly be people who look like you.

There are many myths about HBCUs, which cause people to not attend them. People tell others that they would prefer PWIs because it “prepares you for the real world.”

What exactly is the real world? People of different races?

To the contrary, there are people of various races who attend HBCUs. About 5 percent of Howard University’s 10,000 students are not African American. That’s about the same percent of African American students

at the University.

I’m not sure why people would not want to attend HBCUs. They’re so beautiful and hold so much history.

I’m reasonable. I feel HBCUs are still needed. I think black people need to continue traditions and know their history. I’ve visited multiple HBCUs, and it was always a great experience.

There’s something uplifting about being on a campus where you’re the majority. It’s a feeling of safety, and it makes everyone seem like family. You gain a different perspective when you’re the only black student in your classroom.

When I went to Tuskegee University, it was beautiful being able to walk up to complete strangers and ask them about their school. The greatest thing was that they knew all of the school’s history.

It was as if the schools had a class where they learned everything about their university. At some large universities, people don’t even know the year their school was founded.

The students would say, “This is our school.” They knew they owned it, and they

genuinely wanted their education.

There should not be any competition between HBCUs and PWIs. They are both higher-level institutions. We should applaud any person who attends these prestigious universities.

A lot of people like to say things like HBCUs, Black Congratulatory ceremonies and even African American Homecoming aren’t needed. They definitely are. It’s not about separation; it’s about being inclusive and celebrating the accomplishments of a minority, as well as embracing its culture.

With so much racial tension and senseless killings due to stereotypes, they are definitely needed. It’s nice for a younger person to see a room full of black individuals doing something positive. Setting the example is a start for setting a trend.

Although I love my University, which happens to be a PWI, I feel that HBCUs are great and offer a different college experience. I do think that they are just as rigorous, and the degrees should definitely be seen equally.

board yet. I’m in Santa Cruz, California, feeling the surf ‘neath my board, the wind in my curls. I’m lovin’ this wetsuit — ice water, do your worst!

Ryne and I are here in the water for the last few hours, in preparation for a bicycle trip we committed to a week ago. The plan: bike south. Two of our members, Kamilla – my girlfriend – and Nora, her kid sister, are long-distance newbs, and I’ve needed to find cheap solutions to gearing them up and getting them here. Bikes, panniers, coldweather gear, sleeping bags, mats — something old, something new – and my mind is racing with the logistics of the many-body problem. Hence the ocean. Water does me good.

This is my first time surfing. It’s exhilarating, tiring, frightening, and feels a bit like befriending a careless giant who likes to wrestle. I’m lying on my board recovering from being battered about, drinking in the view and some more sea water, rising and falling with the waves, reviewing the tips Ryne taught me about surfing: If someone to your left is catching the wave, it’s not yours. If you’re not catching the wave, angle towards it and lift up your board. If you’re catching the wave, remember your footwork; catching a wave is like courting a capricious dance partner. The wave will

lift you, accept you, lead you into the dance hall — cowabunga! — but will soon tire of you. When you bail, know where your board is and guard your head.

I watch the waves, discerning, musing on a surfer’s unusual survival instinct. When others seek shelter as storms approach, surfers embrace the water. I spot my dance partner. I’m a surfer. I turn around, offer my board – I’m up! I’m surfing! I’m balanced for a thrilling, fleeting second — surfing? Heck, flying! — then my board’s nose dips, goes under, I’m thrown off, flipped, tossed like a rag in a salt water washing machine, and the force of bricks, blocks, buildings made of water drive me down.

Stop. Eternity.

When immediate threat descends, thoughts cease. Awareness is everything.

I guard my head and hold my breath as 30 seconds border on forever, as I remember that waves are not loners, they come in sets.

Finally, I’m allowed to surface! This is really what it feels like. Air reacquaints itself with my lungs, my cells, my blood. I climb on my surfboard, stretch out, drink in the fading sunlight, the blue skies. A Dar Williams song floats through my mind. ”...I’ve swallowed your sailors and spat out their keepsakes...” Pelicans glide above. I drift.

Time pools about me, flows and eddies.

I’ve drifted away from Ryne, from the other surfers. Suddenly, a head pops up beside me, hairier than Ryne’s and a good deal cuter. A seal – a real seal! — doing the back stroke, swimming by me, and eating a spiky sea animal as a seagull floats beside him picking up scraps. I watch transfixed as they swim around me in circles, feet from my board, disregarding the current, as if in a pond. The seal finishes his snack, tosses the remains, and dives, curtly parting with the seagull who lifts off. The ocean around me is a tranquil green. Did I dream that?

Ryne swims toward me, looking equal parts battered and joyful, and points at the sunset then the shore. Time’s up. He cautions me on how to leave the ocean, keeping one eye behind me, remembering the rocks below. I look toward the beach, full of happy-go-lucky dogs doing what dogs do, tongues lolling, swimming after balls.

We take in the waves crashing against the cliffs. “That’s the power of the fuckin’ moon,” he says, and we paddle toward the bay with respectful determination, ebbing and flowing with the tide and clouds, the thick ropes of kelp twining around us, minds clear, like seals in the surf.

Men’s tennis falls to North Carolina

BY MASAKI SUGIMOTO STAFF WRITER

The Illinois men’s tennis team failed to win its second national championship in school history, falling to the North Carolina Tar Heels by a score of 4-3 at the NCAA Tournament in Waco, Texas. This is the seventh time the Illini have lost in the Round of 16 during Brad Dancer’s decade as head coach.

“It was a really tough match, and we are really disappointed that we came out on the wrong end of it,” Dancer said. “Our guys did a great job of coming back, and we made it a heck of a match.”

This match was the second time the Illini faced the Tar Heels this season. The Illini won the first match 4-3 on January 31 at the Atkins Tennis Center.

Illinois fell behind early once Jack Murray and Ronnie Schneider beat senior Blake Bazarnik and freshman Aron Hiltzik to win the doubles point for North Carolina.

Illinois fought back in singles when freshman Aleks Vukic took revenge on Robert Kelly. Kelly bested Vukic in their last matchup, but Vukic got the better of Kelly this time, winning in straight sets.

“I felt like the matches were the same this time around,” Vukic said about playing at a neutral site.

North Carolina took the next point easily when freshman Toshiki Matsuya lost in straight sets to Ebsen Hess-Olesen. Matsuya got the nod over senior Ross Guignon due to his strong performance against North Carolina in January.

Senior Tim Kopinski tied the match 2-2 when he beat Brett Clark, coming back

Illinois baseball earns No. 1 seed

strong in the second and third sets to win 6-1 and 6-0.

Aron Hiltzik brought the Illini close to clinching the match when he beat Jack Murray, giving the team a 3-2 lead.

Brayden Schnur got the best of senior Farris Gosea — Schnur fell to Gosea in January. The match had a close first set, with Schnur beating Gosea 7-5. Gosea had a strong second set winning 6-2. Schnur won the third set 6-2.

The match came down to a tense third set tiebreaker between Illinois junior Jared Hiltzik and North Carolina’s Ronnie Schneider. Schneider took an early lead, winning the first set 7-6. Hiltzik fought back winning the second set 6-4.

But Schnur clinched the upset for the Tar Heels in the third set.

“A big part of (the outcome) is because Ronnie Schneider is back in their lineup.

He is a great player,” Dancer said. “He played fantastic in the third set against us.”

This marks the end of a great run for Illinois. The Illini ranked in the top 10 this season, and they were the No. 4 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Some Illini will still be in action for the NCAA Individual Championships this week. Gosea and Jared Hiltzik were invited to compete in singles. Kopinski and Guignon will be competing in the doubles tournament.

“Just got to leave it all out there,” Hiltzik said. “In the last match of the season, you can’t really hold anything back.”

“We don’t talk about the title at all,” Hartleb said. “We just talk about putting everything behind us and just playing one game at a time.”

Illinois’ final tune up before the tournament came against Nebraska May 14 to 16.

The first game of the series displayed the Illini’s composure. Despite steady rain, left-hander Kevin Duchene pitched an impressive game, going seven innings and striking out four. Closer Tyler Jay got the save.

Illinois Aleks Vukic attempts to return the ball during a match on April 26.

The offense also contributed heavily to the 6-3 victory. Sophomore Pat McInerney launched a two-run home run in the fourth inning, and left fielder Ryan Nagle scored one run and recorded one RBI. The troublesome weather stuck around for the remainder of the series. The second game was delayed for more than two hours.

Despite this delay, the game displayed much more aggressive offense from the Illini and the Cornhuskers. First baseman David Kerian hit one home run and drove in three. The Cornhuskers kept the game close until the final out. Illinois, however, came out on top with a 10-9 victory.

“We wanted to make it dramatic.…

Nebraska came out and fought hard,” Kerian said. “We knew we were going to be in fight from the beginning.”

The series finale, which was scheduled for Saturday, was canceled due to weather inclinations.

Despite two losses to Illinois, Nebraska earned a spot in the Big Ten Tournament as the No. 8 seed and will face Illinois on Wednesday when Big Ten Tournament play begins.

The tournament will be hosted at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Illinois must keep pace next season ALEX ROUX Sports Columnist

O

n the last weekend in March 2015, fans of Big Ten basketball could collectively hold their heads high.

Having been pitted against each other for 10 straight weeks as the league’s 14 teams battled for conference supremacy, this was a time for all fans of Big Ten schools to be proud. Michigan State and Wisconsin had both punched their tickets to the Final Four, marking the first time since 2005 that two Big Ten teams had reached the national semifinal.

Social media (especially Twitter) has enhanced that sense of conference affinity, and I noticed dozens of Illinois fans take to the platform to celebrate the Final Four by using the hashtag #B1G. This sense of pride was further strengthened by the internal notion that the conference had something to prove. Having been self-proclaimed “The Nation’s Premier Basketball Conference,” it was apparent that the Big Ten’s overall basketball strength had taken a step back from its relative peak in 2012-13, when you would have been hardpressed to find any arguments that it was the deepest conference in the nation.

But the always-formidable ACC and resurgent Big 12 were both impressive in 201415, bruising the Big Ten’s ego in its year of expansion. Only Wisconsin, Maryland and Ohio State were consistently ranked in the top 25 all season. If you throw in the added insecurity of not claiming a national title since Michigan State in 2000, it makes sense that the Spartans’ and Badgers’ shared Final Four spotlight was a reassuring sight for Big Ten fans.

Even though Duke beat both Sparty and Bucky on its way to another title, the Big Ten came away feeling pretty good about itself. And in the six weeks since the nets

were cut down in Indianapolis, several talented transfers have filtered in, and a handful of the conference’s top NBA prospects have turned down the Draft, setting the Big Ten up for an extremely strong 2015-16 field.

But conference pride is usually a fallback when your favorite team is already eliminated, and it’s only a crutch for a short time.

Ultimately, fans care about their actual teams more than anything, and they desperately want them to be the ones representing the Big Ten on the biggest stage.

The Illinois fan base is as hungry as any for success, and three up-and-down years under John Groce (resulting in back-to-back NIT Tournament appearances) have allowed basketball analysts to grow comfortable with picking the Illini to finish somewhere around eighth in the Big Ten every year. It’s a safe prediction, considering Illinois has finished eighth, ninth and eighth once more in Groce’s three seasons with the Fighting Illini.

Many Illini fans projected upward movement into the top tier of the conference last season, foreseeing the relative weakness of their peers and hoping a much-improved squad on paper would catapult them to a topfive finish. But well-documented transfer, suspension and injury issues combined with an inability to gel on the court derailed the season for the Fighting Illini, who wasted an opportunity to establish themselves as an elite force in the conference, much like how many of their competitors (Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Michigan) have already done.

With that temporary window now closed, a more difficult path to the top likely awaits Illinois, and Illini fans have legitimate reasons to be concerned with the recent offseason developments taking place within the conference.

Maryland has emerged as a legitimate annual contender, and the Terps may have their best chance to make some noise this upcoming season. Stud freshman Melo Trimble is returning for his sophomore season, and Duke graduate transfer Rasheed Sulaimon announced last week his intention to join the Terrapins for his final year of eli-

Indiana also seems poised to make a leap with the return of point guard Yogi Ferrell for his senior season, and freshman phenom James Blackmon, Jr.’s decision to put the NBA Draft on hold makes the Hoosiers a dangerous team. Purdue surprised a lot of people with a strong season in 2014-2015 and will return one of the best frontcourts in the country, headlined by A.J. Hammons and Isaac Haas.

Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State are always solid (that’s what great coaching will do for you) and figure to compete once again for a top-five conference finish.

So where does that leave Illinois? Conventional wisdom has the Illini once again fighting for a middle-of-the-pack spot with teams like Iowa, Minnesota and a resurgent Michi-

gan squad. Groce was able to add Charlotte graduate transfer Mike Thorne at center, which is a big addition that could drastically alter the offensive production of the Illini frontcourt.

At a minimum, the addition of Thorne combined with a veteran presence of Tracy Abrams, Kendrick Nunn and Malcolm Hill should allow the Illini to keep their heads above water in a conference that will be as competitive as ever.

Much like the entire Big Ten conference last year, Illinois has something to prove next season. Groce has something to prove.

In a pivotal year for the future of Groce and the Illinois program, it will be interesting to see if the Illini will finally make a leap or continue to tread water.

They certainly can’t afford to sink.

Richartz sets Big Ten, school record at Championship

BY ZOE KALER STAFF WRITER

Stephanie Richartz won the Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championship in pole vault this weekend when she competed with the team in East Lansing, Michigan.

She cleared 4.37 meters to win the meet, setting a new Big Ten Outdoor meet record and breaking her own school record.

Richartz said she is excited about her accomplishments this weekend but is emo-

tional thinking about it coming to a close.

Being a senior at Illinois, her undergraduate academic career came to an end this weekend as well.

“It was kind of sad to miss the symbolic graduation, walking across the stage, but I couldn’t be happier to walk across the stage that I did instead,” Richartz said.

Although her time on the team is up, she said she is proud of the legacy that will continue when she leaves. In particular, she

mentioned junior Jennifer DeBellis.

DeBellis tied for seventh this weekend, clearing 4.02 M. On the track, senior Alyssa Schneider placed 10th, running a 35:47.76 in the 10,000 M and eighth in the 5,000 M at 16:38.96.

Fellow senior Amanda Duvendack finished third in the 800 M at 2:06.16.

Freshman Jasmine Berry also claimed a top-10 place for the Illini. She finished eighth in the 400 M hurdles at 1:05.03.

In the 400 M relay, sophomore Nicole Choquette, freshman Pedrya Seymour, freshman Miranda Marry and Duvendack finished seventh at 3:40.36.

Sophomore Kandie Bloch-Jones placed fifth in high jump, clearing 1.76 M. Senior Mariah Smith finished eighth in discus, throwing 49.55 M. Overall, the team placed 11th.

Crisis Nursery to expand resources

BY MADISON JOHNSTON STAFF WRITER

The children of Champaign-Urbana at risk of neglect or abuse may have a bigger safe haven thanks to the expansion efforts of Crisis Nursery.

In a press conference on Tuesday, Crisis Nursery declared it is in the midst of a $1.9 million campaign to expand their building and staffing to meet the increasing demand of services. $1.5 million has already been raised.

Since July 1984, the nursery has provided for nearly 16,000 children through emergency care and support to strengthen families in crisis in Champaign County. Operating 365 days out of the year and twenty-four hours a day, the nursery still has had to turn away more than 600 children this year because it had already reached full capacity.

“While we carefully assess the level of restoration for each child, turning families away always poses a concern for us,” Executive Director Stephanie Record said. “Every time we have to say, ‘No,’ there is the potential for harm to come to a child.”

Pedaling for the planet

BY ATOOSA SAYEH STAFF WRITER

Several community members left their cars at home and rode their bikes to work on Thursday to participate in Champaign County Bikes’ sixth annual Bike to Work Day. According to Jeff Yockey, president of Champaign County Bikes, nearly 1,250 people participated, which is the highest turnout the local holiday has ever seen and a huge improvement from the 45 participants active in its first year, 2009.

Yockey said the the participation numbers are increasing due to biking’s rising popularity in Champaign-Urbana.

According to the American Community Survey, only 2.34 percent of commuters bike to work, but Champaign-Urbana ranks 14 on the list of America’s top cities for commuting on bike.

Yockey said a lot of people started riding their bikes to work after coming to Bike to Work Day for the first time.

“We know there’s just a lot of commuters in Champaign-Urbana, and Bike to Work Day is often the day that people decide they’re going to ride their bike to work for the first time,” Yockey said.

Board President Fred Wakefield and former board president Lori Larson worked together as co-chairs of the campaign to quietly fundraise this past year in hopes of making the expansion a reality.

“Research shows that if you raise part of the money in advance, people come along and see we are at 1.5, and we need 1.9 in all to get all the way down the street, which is where we are going,” Larson said.

In 2009, former Sen. Mike Frerichs and former Rep. Naomi Jakobsson advocated for a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to help with the fundraising efforts. Crisis Nursery was awarded $400,000.

Record said they have been privately meeting with donors the past year to arrange donations and now plan on encouraging current donors to become involved, so that the Crisis Nursery can reach their goal.

The ultimate objective of the campaign is to increase their capacity by 50 percent for the ability to serve up to 12 children at one time. They hope to reduce the amount of families that they have to turn away by at Nine local stations were spread around the city for the event, four of which were located on campus.

One of those locations was the Engineering Quad, where graduate student Grace Kyung was stationed as the head manager of the sign-up table. According to Kyung, about 200 participants were expected at her station.

Kyung said she joined Champaign County Bikes because she wanted to promote biking to people in the community.

“Essentially why it’s beneficial for people to bike to work is because it’s a sustainable mode of transportation,” Kyung said. “The more people who bike, the safer it is on the roads.”

Community members who participated in the event also said they believed biking to work promotes safety.

Glenn Mehling, participant and Senior Management Methods Analyst for the Office of Student Financial Aid, said he saw biking as a great alternative because it’s “hard to get around with a car on campus.”

The event also provided community members with a chance to help fundraise the construction of the Kickapoo Rail Trail. According to Yockey, the bike trail would connect Urbana to Danville.

“This trail will be the first extended dedicated bicycle path,” Yockey said. “Families and friends will be able to go for a long ride without having to worry about automobile or truck traffic.”

Bethany Carrol, participant and member of Champaign County Regional Planning Commission, said she participated in the event to

Last year, the nursery served 840 children, clocking in at 33,000 hours of service. Upon the conclusion of the expansion, the projected numbers would double these current values.

Once the money is raised, Crisis Nursery will work with Ratio Architects Inc. of Champaign on the design and Wells & Wells during

the construction process.

Record stated, “The work of Crisis Nursery is only possible thanks to the on-going support of our community, and we look forward to garnering that support to bring this project to fruition.”

“I think that the bike path will be really good because we really don’t have any way of going to St. Joseph – that really isn’t that far – by bike or walking,” she said.

Carrol said she rode her bike to work every day and heard about the event for the first time through her work colleagues.

In addition to providing participants with coffee, fresh fruit and T-shirts, free tune-ups were also made available through Urbana bike shop, Neutral Cycle.

John Bryniarski, head mechanic of Neutral Cycle, and Matt Crosby, shop manager of Neutral Cycle, were at the event all day to provide free tune-ups, such as filling tires with air or cleaning oil off of bike chains, for people who rode their bikes to work.

The university sponsored the event, as did local bike shops, restaurants, grocery stores, MTD and the Champaign County Forest Preserve Foundation.

HOROSCOPES

CANCER: JUNE 22 - JULY 22

BY JENNIFER SHEPHERD

You could reach a turning point in a relationship, thanks to Venus. Maybe you’ve been casually dating someone, but things are turning more serious. Or perhaps you and a longtime love are deciding to take things to a new level. It’s all good.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

This week’s birthday MONDAY, MAY 18 – SUNDAY, MAY 24, 2015

This week’s Horoscopes ARIES: MARCH 21 - APRIL 19 Jupiter is enhancing your ego, reminding you that you’re God. At least, that’s what you’re thinking at the moment. Unfortunately, others around you might not agree with you. Don’t step on the little people and make them angry.

And avoid annoying your sweetheart, too.

TAURUS: APRIL 20 - MAY 20 The sun is bringing you a fresh focus. You’re making plans about how to expand your education and your career. And you’re coming up with ways to take an existing relationship and make it much better. You’re at your best when you get into troubleshooting mode.

GEMINI: MAY 21 - JUNE 21 With the sun in your sign for a few weeks, this marks your personal spiritual new year. This is the time to focus on you. Think about ways to improve your health, your wealth and your personal life. Come up with a winning plan or two.

LEO: JULY 23 - AUG. 22 You could receive some exciting news this week with the moon giving you a cosmic high five. Maybe you’ll receive a promotion at work. Perhaps you’ll be accepted into a great educational program. Or maybe you’ll find that that cutie you’re attracted to wants to date you.

VIRGO: AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22 Since Mercury is retrograde, it’s best not to be too pushy. If you want something different from your romantic relationship, don’t be overly aggressive about it. Or if you seek greater appreciation at work, win people over with kindness and humor.

LIBRA: SEPT. 23 - OCT. 23 A friendly sun will help you out for several weeks, increasing your confidence and charisma. You’ll find it easy to meet new people and impress strangers on the job. It’s a good time to network, both socially and professionally.

SCORPIO: OCT. 24 - NOV. 2 A romantic relationship is feeling more exciting and playful than it has in a while. You’ll have fun

flirting with that special someone, experiencing a second honeymoon type of feeling. If you’re single, you could hit the jackpot with somebody new.

SAGITTARIUS: NOV. 22 - DEC. 21 With the sun opposite your sign, you shouldn’t pressure yourself to figure everything out just now. You might not know what you’re really feeling or what you truly want. Chill out and relax with some close friends so you can talk things out.

CAPRICORN: DEC. 22 - JAN.19 You could experience a missed connection this week, thanks to Mercury. Don’t sweat it. If your honey has to work late, you can cook dinner for her another night. If that new guy you’re interested in has to travel suddenly, don’t take it personally.

AQUARIUS: JAN. 20 - FEB. 18 The sun is bringing you some insights, but it might take a few weeks before you can act on them. This is a good time to write in your journal, talk to a therapist or consult a spiritual adviser. Analyze your personal life and business life to come up with some solutions.

PISCES: FEB. 19 - MARCH 20 A love relationship could take on an addictive, otherworldly quality. But try to stay grounded.

Don’t spend all your time engaging in fantasy about this special person, even if you do believe that you’re falling in love.
