HERE Champaign, LLC has applied to build a 16-story apartment building at 308-312 East Green St. The building would be on the corner of Fourth and Green street, in the space that IHOP and Campus Liquor currently occupy. According to Champaign County’s project description, the building is proposed to have 11 residential floors, containing 143 residential student housing units, a fitness room, an outdoor terrace and an integrated, threelevel automated parking garage, which will contain more than 254 parking spaces. On-site parking will contain 14 conventional parking spaces and over 240 automated parking garage spaces. Access to parking will be limited to Fourth street. People will be restricted from the car vault, which will be located on the second, third and fourth floors. The car vault will eliminate the need for space between cars because people will not be entering and exiting their vehicles. Parking ramps will also be eliminated.

The project will also provide landscaping on the immediately adjacent portion of Boneyard Creek, along with an expansive glass wall to give the building’s lobby and the retail spaces a direct, physical and visual connection to both Green and Fourth streets, according to the project description. Lorrie Pearson, of the Champaign Planning Department,said the department received a complete application for the project on April 2. The public hearing for the application is scheduled for May 1 at 4 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 102 N. Neil St. If the proposal is approved, HERE plans to break ground on October 7, 2013, according to the project description. Other apartment building projects in Champaign have recently been announced, including JSM Development’s hotel and apartment complex in Parking Lot J, near the corner of Green and Sixth Streets,and Larson Company’s five-story building, set to occupy the space that White Horse Inn and Garcia’s Pizza In A Pan occupied.A 14-story building constructed by Bankier Apartments will also be built in the spot which is now occupied by Gameday Spirit, Hair Benders, Beri Frozen Yogurt and Roll Model.

Where’s the Alma Mater? A Moms Weekend guide to changes on campus

BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

BY ADLAI STEVENSON

Campus experiences a large influx of mothers every spring for Moms Weekend. Many of these moms only spend one weekend a year on campus. Since Moms Weekend last year, much has changed. Moms, here’s a guide to questions you might have about campus:

Eager students crowded inside the Illini Union on Wednesday night for a night of laughs and thrills. Hosted by the Illini Union Board, comedian Hannibal Buress delivered a 90-minute stand-up special, complete with personal anecdotes and sharp cultural take downs. “I came along with a few friends but I really enjoyed the show,” said Alex Kogan, freshman in DGS. “The guy was really dark, but he timed all of his jokes really well, and the jokes More online: about college hit close Check out to home for me and my more on friends.” Hannibal The large student Buress, Moms turnout was no surDay, and more at prise. According to the Dailyillini.com, and Illini Union Board’s follow us on Twitter event detail page, @TheDailyIllini. Buress has written for multiple comedy shows, including “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” and has appeared on latenight talk shows such as “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “Late Show with David Letterman.” His comedy special “Animal Furnace” premiered on Comedy Central in May 2012, the same year the TV network awarded him with “Best TV Club Comic” at the 2012 Comedy Awards. His weekly Web series, “Talking to Strangers,” will be premiering this spring. Aaron Beasley, director of special events for the Illini Union Board, said IUB came up with Buress’ visit after board members recognized his popular

Where’s the Alma Mater?

Who is John Groce?

Who is Tim Beckman?

The Alma Mater is absent from campus this school year. The University sent the campus icon away for restoration work in August. She was originally supposed to be back for Commencement, but restoration efforts are taking longer than anticipated. Current estimates have Alma returning sometime in the 2013-14 academic year.

John Groce guided Illinois’ return to the NCAA tournament. The men’s basketball coach took a team that finished 17-15 and lost NBA Lottery draft pick Meyers Leonard and led them to a 23-13 and No. 7 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Tim Beckman is the head coach of the Illinois football team. The Illini went 2-10 in Beckman’s first year.

What’s this I hear about Assembly Hall?

What’s the deal with KAM’S?

What’s this new-looking building on the quad?

Assembly Hall celebrated its 50th anniversary last month, and time is starting to wear on the facility. In light of the celebration, the University announced a renovation plan for the hall, which will include more student seating, air conditioning and premium seating suites.

The city of Champaign told the popular drinking establishment that it is not allowed to host customers younger than 21 after being issued too many drinking citations last semester. The ban will be lifted May 12.

Lincoln Hall is open again after taking a three-year reprieve from housing classes. The $66 million renovation was completed in the fall, and classes are being now held in the building, which was originally constructed in 1911. See MOMS WEEKEND, Page 3A

Graduate art exhibit to display final projects BY ELEANOR BLACK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Graduate students in the University’s master of fine arts program put their final projects up for display at the Krannert Art Museum East Gallery on Thursday. The exhibit is open to the public and will run until April 28. Conrad Bakker, associate professor in FAA and assistant director of graduate studies, said his students put on the show after completing their third year in the program. The exhibit is a required part of their degree and is supposed to

represent their past work. “It’s a body of work that represents what they’ve been thinking about, what they’ve been making, what they’ve been doing,” he said. “That can be paintings, it can be video, it’s metalwork, it’s drawing, art installations. It’s a wide range of activity.” One of the artists, Ben Grosser, graduate student, focused on technology’s effect on users with a web browser add- on called Facebook Demetricator . The add-on was displayed on an iPad and removes all

numbers, such as number of notifications and number of friends, from the Facebook interface. “I’m interested in how those numbers get us to do things,” he said. “We are constantly told how many friends we have, and we constantly see how many friends our friends have. In this extension all of those numbers are erased, so instead of saying ‘eight friends liked this,’ it’ll say ‘friends liked this.’” Grosser said he hoped that those who use the add-on see how their Facebook experience would change “and hopeful-

ly enable a network society that isn’t so dependant on quantification.” Bakker said the exhibition serves as a learning experience for students that will prepare them for the professional world. “It trains them in terms of how to showcase their work most effectively,” Bakker said. “(It teaches students) to curate their own practice in a very specific way, not only so that it looks good, but also that it says what they want to say.” Laura Tanner Graham, graduate stu-

dent, said despite the diversity of the art at the exhibit, there’s still common ground between the pieces. “We have a really great collection of artists in the show,” she said. “It’s a nice place to search out those common threads in people’s work and also where they deviate.” The public opening reception for the exhibit will be on Saturday at 5 p.m. at the Krannert Art Museum.

BURESS FROM PAGE 1A appeal to students. Last year, he said the Illini Union Board hosted a successful event that featured comedian Michael Ian Black, adding that the board wanted to give students another special comedy event for this year’s spring semester. “We saw that there was a large turnout last year, so we wanted to give students another chance to experience what a lot of people on campus seem to be interested in,” said Beasly, senior in LAS. “It’s part of our job that students have fun things to do on campus, so we want to do our best to provide them with as many opportunities as possible.” Buress drew the biggest laughs when he joked about University life, ridiculing fraternity culture and reflecting on his own college experiences. A native of Chicago, Buress later attended Southern Illinois University, where he joked he did not perform well enough to get by but deserved some respect anyway. Still, he expressed several regrets when speaking of his time at SIU. “I didn’t take advantage of how easy it is to have sex with people in college,” he lamented in his show. “Co-ed dorms and everything. ... You walk the hall and say, ‘You wanna study?’ That’s a date!” Buress also covered several topics that hit close to home for many in-state students at the University. He targeted the Quad Cities and the concept of Hell, two subjects that he said are not so different from each other — the four cities are grouped together so they can all “suck together,” he said early in the show. Several audience members called out to Buress in response to his joke, but the comedian was quick on his feet. Throughout the night, Buress turned surprise instances and audience interactions into event highlights. One audience member corrected Buress, saying there are actually five Quad Cities instead of four. He used this fact to reiterate his point, adding that everyone from the area sounds like a cop who lost their partner in a freak crime scene. “I’ve known about Hannibal since his ‘Animal Presence’ special,” said Craig Langworthy, freshman in DGS. “I like him ’cause he’s laid back but still witty and observant. I’m not sure if he did any improv tonight, but he was great when he talked back to students who shouted out and tried to be funny.” Buress’ DJ Rufio and local comedian Janelle James made appearances Wednesday as well. Buress invited his DJ to chime in when he spoke of his set-up in Room A in the Union. Rufio described it as terrible, a room that gave him an idea of what purgatory must be like. James presented a half-hour routine before Buress took stage, her humor encompassing racial insecurities and her depressed state. She told the audience she lived in Brooklyn and the Caribbean before moving to Champaign, noting that her downward spiral can be seen just from the places she’s lived in. “But don’t worry about me, don’t feel sad for me, I’m much better,” James said to her audience. “I’m medicated now.” Beasley said the show was certainly vulgar, but he was happy with the show and thought the loud laughs confirmed that students were, too. He said Illini Union Board events range all over and that he hopes that students interact with the board in the future so they can make their interests known. “Sometimes it’s hard to get a sense of what students want,” Beasley said. “We’ll do surveys and ask around a lot, but we want to work with students more so we can make their time on campus really fun and memorable. It’s our job that they can go to events like this — we want them to laugh and have a great time.”

COURTESY OF ILLINI UNION BOARD

Comedian Hannibal Buress performs at the Illini Union Board comedy show at the Illini Union on Wednesday. Hannibal has appeared on “Louie,” “30 Rock” and “The Eric André Show.”

Q&A: HANNIBAL BURESS

Comedian discusses career, life on the road BY ADLAI STEVENSON STAFF WRITER

Comedian and writer Hannibal Buress performed in the Illini Union on Wednesday. After his stand-up routine, Buress sat down with the Daily Illini to discuss his tours, his past performances and life as a stand-up comedian.

The Daily Illini: Congratulations on your performance, Hannibal. I apologize that you had to come to Champaign for it. Hannibal Buress: (Laughs) It’s alright,

man. It’s my job to travel places and get onstage.

DI: Since you have toured at several colleges, what is it like to gauge each audience? HB: I really do close to the same set

I’ll do in comedy clubs. I’ll go for more college material, like talking about tuition or my college experience. I’ll do that more often than not, but my shows don’t change that much outside the fact that I do fiveten minutes of college material.

DI: You have appeared on “Louie,” “30 Rock,” “The Eric André Show” and you have created your own web series in

addition to your stand-up performances. How have you balanced all of this? HB: Well I’m not on those shows any-

more (laughs). The only show that’s current is my web series, which is new and just fun for me. The web series was filmed when I went to music festivals. “Louie” I did a couple years ago, and “30 Rock”’s done now and I didn’t do anything on its last season. But the web series isn’t that taxing. Hopefully, I’ll do a couple of music festivals in the future ... maybe Coachella or Bonnaroo. It’s fun to just get out there in any way I can.

DI: Last May was particularly big for you on Comedy Central when your standup special “Animal Furnace” premiered, along with “The Eric André Show.”Has your career changed at all since then? HB: Yeah, more people come out

to my shows now because of those shows. I think they exposed me to a lot of people, especially in the cities. I think they’ve helped a lot.

DI: I am sorry to hear that your flight into Champaign was not the most pleasant trip. Hopefully, traveling is never too miserable? HB: No, it’s not miserable at all. I’m

out and do shows and go out afterwards, and then we do the whole process again. My employees, I mean (laughs). They’re glaring over here, wanting to correct me. But it’s good to travel with people I’m cool with and do shows and hang out.

DI: I remember you described an earlier tour in 2008 as exhausting. HB: Yeah, when I traveled solo, parts were a bummer. But it depends on the place I’ll be in. Early on, if I knew people already in the cities I was going through, I would know of spots to go to and it’d be fun. But it makes it better to have some people around. That’s a main thing for me.

DI: You interacted a lot with the audience during your performance. Do their responses dictate the rest of your show? HB: It depends. Sometimes, I’ll add on something to a joke if people respond positively to it. But I just do the show. I’ll change up the order of the jokes sometimes, but for the most part I go through the bits. I’ve been doing this show for about a year, so I know how people usually respond to each joke.

with my friends; we get to hang

DI: You mentioned that you go to comedy shows a lot and enjoy listening to other comedians. Is there more to it than personal interest? HB: I just like to go to stuff so I have

stuff to talk about (laughs). Cause if I just do comedy ... when I was on the road a lot about two years ago, all my stand-up was like, “Yeah, I was in this hotel” ... it was all hotel and rental car material.

DI: So, the shows give you experience? HB: Kind of, yeah. I’ll get ideas for

more jokes that I can do. So going to shows can help or they’re at least fun to be at.

DI: Has your comedy changed at all since you started? HB: Yeah, now it’s more what I really think about things or stuff that really happened to me as opposed to when I first started out trying to think, “What’s funny about towels?”

DI: So how do comedians develop that keen sense of observation? HB: (Laughs) I don’t know, you just got to know where to look ... see things from a weird or new angle.

Urbana official to appear in court on DUI charge

MOMS WEEKEND FROM PAGE 1A

BY SARI LESK STAFF WRITER

Why is Gameday Spirit being temporarily moved? If you walk by Gameday Spirit, you will notice signs that say “Gigantic moving sale.” Gameday is not closing, but it is moving down the street for a while. The building that houses the campus spirit store will be torn down and replaced with a 14-story apartment building, set to be completed in August 2014. Until the building is completed, you will be able to find Gameday just one block over at 616 E. Green St.

What’s this I hear about Follett’s closing?

Where’s White Horse and Garcia’s Pizza?

The longstanding campus bookstore will close its doors in May after 71 years of business. The bookstore chain came to campus in 1938 but stopped selling course materials in 2010 and has had limited business since. The store will likely be replaced by a food store or clothing vendor.

White Horse and Garcia’s Pizza, two campus icons for decades, have been raze; in their place, an apartment building is being erected. White Horse is open in a new location on John Street with its ever-popular karaoke Wednesdays. Garcia’s is still in Champaign but isn’t open on campus.

Urbana Chief of Staff Mike Monson will appear in court Friday to face multiple charges after a car accident with a University student in early March. Monson has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving an uninsured vehicle and leaving the scene of an accident. He was arrested around 8:30 p.m. on March 5. According to the police report, Monson was involved in a property damage accident in the 1000 block of Kerr Avenue. He left his vehicle on the street around the corner from the accident after the other driver involved took an improper turn and hit Monson’s vehicle. Officers located Monson at his residence, where he admitted to consuming alcohol before driving and leaving the scene of the accident. Monson will appear Friday at 9 a.m. in courtroom E.

Brett Olmstead of Beckett & Webber, P.C., is representing Monson. He declined an interview but said in an email that his investigation of the case is ongoing. “A driver is guilty of an alcohol-related DUI only if the alcohol concentration in his blood or breath is 0.08 or more, or if his alcohol consumption has actually impaired his driving ability,” Olmstead added in his email. “Furthermore, Mr. Monson is presumed to be innocent of the charges against him, which have not been proven in a court of law.” The second vehicle involved in the accident was driven by Jaclyn Utz, a University student. She will appear in court on the charge of an improper turn at an intersection Monday at 9 a.m. in courtroom L. Utz could not be reached for comment.

UI recruiting should widen scope, focus on smaller towns

E

veryone deserves access to a quality education, even if they can’t afford one. But most of the time, students from lowincome families don’t know that it’s possible for them to afford college. A recent Brookings Institute study found that many high-achieving, low-income high school students aren’t applying to more expensive, prestigious schools and are instead applying to local schools with cheaper tuition. Many of these students did not apply to these competitive schools because they did not know about the financial aid they could have received. Though the University does have programs that help students with the cost of college, those low-income students from rural areas are less likely to know about them, according to the study. In a Daily Illini article published on April 3, Director of Undergraduate Admissions Stacey Kostell said University officials opt to visit larger high schools. But because of this tendency, students in rural areas receive the short end of the stick — they are not exposed to all of the opportunities available, whether it be schools they can apply to or available financial aid packages. Students rarely choose where they attend high school: They are stuck wherever their parent or guardian is, big city or little town. Opting not to go to these rural towns and smaller schools presents a lot of missed opportunities for universities. By sheer luck, some of the best and brightest students can be looked over by top universities, including the University of Illinois. The best students may not consider the University because they are unaware of financing options, too. Even then, so little straightforward information regarding financial aid is available that even if a student sought out a top university like this one, they would never know that they could finance it. Additionally, the Brookings study ironically found that it’s cheaper for low-income students to attend prestigious universities while it’s more expensive for them to attend more local schools. But lack of recruiting and lack of something as inexpensive as information will disadvantage rural or small-town students, even if they were successful in high school and would benefit from a school beyond their local university or community college. Lackluster recruiting efforts are not unique to the University, but that doesn’t mean that this school should join the droves of those that overlook rural students. To keep up the diversity recruiting the University and Chancellor Phyllis Wise are so proud of, we need to look more at this diversity: Charleston versus Chicago, Peru versus Peoria, Wenona versus Winnetka and every other nuance in between. It’s this kind of diversity that promotes a collection of varied opinions. It promotes a diversity of ideas, which is so much more important than diversity of race, class or gender. For students to bring those ideas here, the University has to give students more attention and more information about financial aid. When high schools are not sought after by the University to an acceptable degree, they need to make it known. As a public land-grant institution in Illinois, the University has a duty to every one of the state’s high schools — and even those students who are homeschooled or receive their education in other nontraditional ways. Education is a right, not a privilege. Students from rural areas, big cities, neither or somewhere in between deserve to be sought after by the University.

I’ve

Appreciate The Daily Illini’s independence SAFIA KAZI Opinions columnist

At

The Daily Illini, we are lucky. We are an independent daily collegiate paper. We can print the stories we like with the opinions we have. The Daily Illini is able to serve the needs of the students because it is entirely studentrun. Students write stories, take photos, design pages and edit the content. Because students work at The Daily Illini, the paper can focus on issues students care about, rather than topics administrators may want covered. But being an independent paper brings many challenges along with it, the biggest being financial constraints. Currently, the paper is funded mostly by advertising revenues and by additional alumni donations. Having a daily paper significantly improves the quality of stories. Because we publish so often, we are always proactive about finding the most relevant stories and being up-to-date on campus issues — including ones that are ongoing. But publishing so frequently requires a great amount of work from Daily Illini employees. They work extremely hard, 24/7. As a former assistant news editor, it seemed like much of our efforts on news stories went unnoticed. Sometimes comments made on articles focused on attacking the paper rather than the issue itself. I worked a minimum of five

hours per day, five days a week. I often worked between 30-40 hours per week, in addition to being a full-time student. Editors are often glued to their phones and have to be willing to work at any time. Even when I wasn’t in the newsroom, I was often helping reporters with their stories or trying to figure out how to deal with breaking news. I didn’t work at The Daily Illini for a grade. Sure, some professors offer extra credit for working at The Daily Illini, but I didn’t receive any credit hours for working there. I didn’t work for praise or money; I did it because I loved it — and still do. Many people that work at The Daily Illini do so because they love it too.

I didn’t work for praise or money; I did it because I loved it ¬ and still do. Many people that work at The Daily Illini do so because they love it too. For many Daily Illini employees, the newsroom is a second home and co-workers are a second family. I was guilty of napping in the newsroom. I was in the newsroom so often that I kept extra clothing there. Working for The Daily Illini became a central part of my identity, and to have strangers insult a part of my identity really hurt. Students may attack the

paper and its coverage, but most students appreciate having a daily independent paper, even if they may disagree with what gets printed every so often. I get really excited to see people reading The Daily Illini and appreciating all of the hard work that goes into producing it. I love getting feedback from students because it teaches us how to improve our paper. I’m not opposed to criticism. Constructive criticism that creates a dialogue is always appreciated and encouraged. What is unwanted are comments that insult the writer’s character. It’s unfortunate, but people tend to attack those they disagree with rather than respectfully explaining their perspectives. Creating a dialogue rather than arbitrarily attacking a person’s character will result in a change for the better. No, the paper is not perfect. Sometimes corrections have to be made. Sometimes things could have been done differently. The Daily Illini is not always the first to break news. But we are working hard and constantly trying to improve. I’m not asking you to pick up a paper every day and read every single story. I don’t expect you to think every story we write will win an award. All I hope is that you pick up our paper when you can and appreciate that you attend a college that still has a daily independent paper. And that’s pretty special.

Turn off your cellphone, tune into reality NICKI HELENZA Opinions columnist

In

a world of texting fanatics, app aficionados, and Facebook enthusiasts, cellphones are the perfect tool. Because of the capabilities these portable devices carry, they have become an addiction that many find hard to break. Particularly in the last few years, the emergence of iPhones and Androids have taken cell phone use to a whole new level. Nowadays, cellphones are not simply cellphones: They are MP3 players, cameras, GPS systems, weather channels, game systems, computers and so much more. In a short period of time, mobile phones have transformed in such a way that anything someone could ever need is right in the palm of their hand. But it is time for people to start disconnecting from their trusty sidekicks because these devices have been rudely interfering with reality. Cellphones are guilty of intruding on dinner dates, interrupting face-to-face conversations, allowing people to walk into walls, displaying ugly pictures of our friends through Snapchat, and objectifying meals via Instragram. These sleek, lavish devices are slowly turning people to the dark side. Internet memes have taken note of this sensation and dubbed it as a contemporary zombie apocalypse. More and more people are being plagued by the evil temptress that is the cellphone. Sidewalks are flooded with people trudging along at a sluggish pace, immersed in their own digital worlds. We no longer see the eyes of those we pass because they are fixated on a 3-by-4 inch screen

while wearing stoic expressions. All of these people have been infected. In order to prove the power these devices have, I asked some of our very own campus zombies about their relationships with their phones. Sophomore Robert Emmons says, “My cellphone is equivalent to Iron Man’s electromagnetic heart — I need it to live.” Danii Mitchell, junior, confesses, “I’m constantly on (my phone) whether it’s texting, checking emails or on social networks. I just always find something to do with it.” Admittedly, Patrick Proctor, junior, says: “I love having my cellphone on me! I would definitely like to have it on my hip all the time.”

“My cellphone is equivalent to Iron Man’s electromagnetic heart — I need it to live.” ROBERT EMMONS, sophomore in LAS

Even Jacob Frankovich, program director for Social Justice and Leadership Education, who agreed with my argument, ends up confessing, “Of course I’m saying this while on the bus checking Facebook and not talking with the people around me.” Clearly, the cellphone has become many people’s right-hand man. The irony lies in the fact that users tune out the world in order to supposedly connect with life. While many people are using their cellphones to keep in touch with family and friends, they are ignoring reality and the people around them in the process.

Because of this, they miss out on the joys of relishing in the moment. And not to mention, cellphones prevent the fun pastime of people watching in public. There is nothing more satisfying than getting a silent chuckle out of noticing strange bus riders, quirky couples and others who march to the beat of their own drum. But with eyes glued on a phone, this simple pleasure cannot be enjoyed. The issue of always having our cellphones in front of us extends beyond the physical impact. Many people have become so attached to their phones that they even experience anxiety without them. The term coined for this phenomenon is nomophobia, which derives from “no mobile phone phobia.” The fact that individuals cannot stand to be apart from their beloved digital friend is almost frightening. If this much panic can be created from being separated from a phone, I worry about how certain people will be able to cope with real-life issues. While cellphones provide entertainment and other useful purposes, people need to step back and remember that there is more to life. Take it from someone who owns an outdated slide phone with no Internet service. Believe it or not, I am still alive and functioning relatively normally without the fancy gadgets that a smartphone provides. Greater satisfaction can be felt when you sit through an entire conversation without checking your texts or updating your Twitter. Even something as simple as putting down your cellphone to look out the window can bring a feeling of tranquility. And once in awhile, it is nice to look up from the screen and notice the weird people and wonderful places you walk by daily.

known Sam Cushing since we were in middle school. He is hilarious and unbelievably attractive — I think he’s appeared on the University of Illinois Secret Admirer Facebook page upwards of six times thus far. Here at the University, Sam is a sophomore in Business. He works tirelessly to further his education and experience as much as possible; he even serves on the Illini Media Board. We have a class together this year, and on Tuesday, we got to talking about marriage equality. Sam is gay, and I wondered how he felt about the looming Supreme Court decision. “I’m not even sure what I think about it anymore,” I said sheepishly. The truth is, I’ve felt absolutely bombarded by the issue lately. From the red-and-pink equal signs that flooded social media to the countless news articles, the push for marriage equality seems to be at an all-time high. In this country, the once-unchanging definition of marriage has become a moving target. It is a process that has been underway for years — our nation’s divorce rates illustrate the slow, steady destruction of the sanctity of marriage. For Sam, the debate is more than just a debate. It is a possible future, a life he might someday lead. It is a deeply personal concept. “I’d definitely like to settle down, get married and have kids someday,” Sam said. “And I want my kids to have every single right that my next-door neighbor’s kids have.” If the Supreme Court votes in favor of marriage equality, then Sam’s dreams could very well come true. But there is one overwhelmingly large group that opposes the idea. According to a recent Pew Research poll, 44 percent of Americans oppose same-sex marriage and many of the dissenters are of various Christian denominations.

Where is the line, the balance? Is it possible to love a gay friend without agreeing with his or her lifestyle? I’m a Christian, and so is Sam. We grew up attending the same church, and now as college sophomores, we are both believers. “Jesus took the societal outcasts under his wing, like the man with leprosy and the prostitutes. With that in mind, it’s funny how people don’t see homosexuals as a group of outcasts, too,” Sam said. “As Jesus-followers, we should be embracing those outcasts. But sometimes, we do the exact opposite.” And there — right there — is the most important tenet of Christianity: love. Jesus calls us to love. Love our Savior, love our neighbors, and love our friends — no matter who they love. OK, I can do that. But does this also mean Christians should promote same-sex marriage? And to go even further, does loving another person mean accepting his or her actions, too? Where is the line, the balance? Is it possible to love a gay friend without agreeing with his or her lifestyle? To be perfectly honest: I’m not sure. When I hesitantly told Sam about my confliction, his response calmed me down. “I kid you not, Mel, I am not offended in the least.” he said. “As a gay person, it’s far more important for me to hear that you accept me and understand my views than it is to hear that you approve of gay marriage specifically.” I don’t know enough to take a grand stand against marriage equality, nor do I know enough to support it. My understanding of the world comes from a Christian perspective — a perspective that seeps into all of my decisions and thoughts. Biblically, marriage is a holy covenant between one man and one woman. My beliefs point me away from same-sex marriage. But that doesn’t mean those beliefs point me away from anyone who is gay. I am open, and I am listening. And I firmly believe that the ability to love others — those like us, and those unlike us — is even bigger than the very argument itself.

Independent Media Center hosts 3rd annual MidWest Zine Fest BY ALICE SMELYANSKY STAFF WRITER

By definition, a diamond is the hardest known mineral, usually almost colorless and a square or rhombus shape. When it is transparent and free from flaws, it is highly valued as a precious stone. Although the diamond Jeanie Austin, Ph.D. student in Library and Information Sciences, stumbled upon one day was not made from crystalline carbon and possessed no reflective qualities, it caught her eye nonetheless. Austin came across a diamond-shaped zine that day, or a self-published work of original texts and images about any topic, though this one was all about diamonds. The printed publication, no bigger than her hand, impressed Austin with its careful construction. It was not the first time she’d read a zine, but its originality resonated with her long after the encounter. Part of the appeal of zines is their ability to provide a form of expression for people that want to avoid the restrictions and obstacles found in major publications. On Saturday, zines like the one Austin found, along with countless others, will be on display at the MidWest Zine Fest held at the Independent Media Center, or IMC, in Urbana. About 20

tablers, or creators of zines, will be featured at the free event that begins at 11 a.m. “There’s something really special to me about zines because somebody spent the time not only saying these things or getting them out there, but thinking about the ways that they could look,� Austin said. “There’s something that’s really intimate about that.� Since zines are self-published, there are no restrictions to the content. Travel, philosophy, horror, art, memoirs and personal stories are just a few of the topics one can find in a zine. “People get something that’s a little bit more honest, a little bit more real, and that has great appeal,� said Maggie Taylor, University alumna. Both Taylor and Austin were volunteering for the Zine Library at the IMC when they decided to apply for the Urbana Arts Grant and start the MidWest Zine Fest. The third annual fest will feature speakers and two workshops — one about finding art in Urbana and another on making art. There will also be a screening of the film, “Twilight of the Mississippi,� which includes documentary-style footage of stories about the Mississippi River. The festival will conclude with a

punk show featuring Laughboy, Chain’s Gang and UNNERVE. For University alumna Emily Knox, this will be the first time she attends the MidWest Zine Fest. However, she looks forward to all of the different tablers she will see. “I think (zines) offer a creative outlet that isn’t tied to a corporation of some sort,� Knox said. When Austin was introduced to zine culture through punk shows as a teenager, she was drawn to them because of the freedom that accompanied their production and the attention that a person devoted to making them. Austin and Taylor encourage people to attend the fest, especially if they’ve never encountered a zine before. “For some people, reading zines is the first time they became politically-conscious or politically-critical of stuff,� Austin said. “Or it’s maybe the first time they encountered someone like them because they’re isolated from the things that they care about.� Due to its tiny size, Austin no longer has the diamond-shaped zine. But the impact it left on her was invaluable.

Artist indicted on 12 counts of molesting 15-, 16-year-old

DOT. COMMON JOHNIVAN DARBY

BY BETSY BLANEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AMARILLO, Texas — A Texas grand jury has indicted eccentric millionaire artist Stanley Marsh 3 on charges that he sexually assaulted six teenagers, according to documents released Thursday. Marsh was indicted Wednesday on four counts of sexual assault of a child, eight counts of sexual performance by a child, and two counts of indecency with a child. His attorneys have denied the allegations. If convicted, Marsh, the son of an oil tycoon, faces up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000 on each count. Special prosecutor Matt Powell said Wednesday that Marsh would be eligible for probation as he has no felony convictions. The allegations date to before Marsh suffered a massive stroke in 2011. Marsh has also been treated for prostate cancer, and his wife is now his legal guardian. Powell and an attorney for Marsh, Bill Kelly, declined to comment Thursday. Marsh, who is probably best known for sponsoring the pop art landmark “Cadillac Ranch� in the early 1970s, settled civil lawsuits in February involving 10 teenagers who alleged he paid them for sex. Marsh has been free on bond since he turned himself in on a November arrest warrant for six counts of child sexual assault and five counts of sexual performance of a child. Those allegations involved a 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old. A statement from his lawyers then noted the accusers had filed civil suits “seeking millions of dollars� and that they had waited to come forward until after Marsh’s stroke. “Cadillac Ranch� along Interstate 40 near Amarillo features 10 Cadillacs buried nose down. The cars, including a 1948 club coupe and a 1963 sedan, were gathered from junkyards, private collectors and used car lots. Visitors over the years have splattered them with graffiti, and in 2005 they were coated in pink to honor breast cancer victims, survivors and their families. Marsh, who uses the Arabic numeral “3� in his legal name, also has painted them black and yellow to honor the passing of longtime friends. This is not the first time Marsh has been accused of sexual misconduct. In 2001, four lawsuits against Marsh that alleged imprisonment, sexual misconduct and harassment of teens were settled. No other details were made public. In 1998, Marsh pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of unlawful restraint and criminal trespassing as part of an agreement that dismissed five felony charges including kidnapping, aggravated assault

Stanley Marsh 3 is booked into the Potter County, Texas, Detention Center on Nov. 28. A Texas grand jury indicted him on charges that he sexually assaulted two teenagers. with a deadly weapon and indecency with a child. He served 10 days in jail and paid $4,000 in fines. In 1996, Marsh settled a lawsuit with a youth who claimed Marsh sexually abused him. In the latest case, Lubbock County District Attorney Matt Powell was appointed special prosecutor after the district attorney for Potter County recused himself. Powell has said the settlement in the civil cases won’t affect the criminal prosecution. The civil suits alleged Marsh gave teenage boys cash, alcohol, drugs and in one case, two BMWs, to perform sex acts with him during secret encounters at his office. In one of the civil cases, a teenager claimed he had more than 100 sexual encounters with Marsh in his office and Toad Hall home in Amarillo. Amarillo police say that they found evidence in Marsh’s downtown offices that corroborated “the accounts of sexual exploitation of minors.� Police seized computers, couch cushion covers, a photo of a nude male and signed confidentiality agreements, among other things, according to a search warrant inventory report.

National Spelling Bee format redefined Competitors must answer SAT-style vocab questions BY JOSEPH WHITE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — What does it all mean? That’s the question facing spelling whizzes across the country, who learned Tuesday that they will have to know the definitions of some of the those tough words they’ve been memorizing in the dictionary. For the first time, multiple-choice vocabulary tests will be added to the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee. “Changes are not a surprise, but these changes are massive,� said Mirle Shivashankar, whose daughter, 11-year-old Vanya, is among the favorites after finishing tied for 10th last year. “It came as a shocker. ... We’re going to have to change the way we prepare a little bit.� The changes will make it easier to nail down the nine to 12 competitors who make it to the final round, which will look the same as it has for years, with spellers taking turns until only the champion has avoided the familiar doomsday bell. The changes do add a wrinkle to the televised semifinals, however, as even the best onstage spellers could find themselves eliminated from the finals if they perform poorly on the multiple-choice test.

Contestants in the National Spelling Bee take the written exam on May 29 on computers in Oxon Hill, Md., before the oral competition began. “I’m on an email group and we talk about spelling, and a lot of the returning spellers were really, like, shocked, and they were surprised about the change that’s happened,� Vanya Shivashankar said. “But it’s going to be really cool and fun to see how the bee will be because it will be spelling and vocabulary.� Executive Director Paige Kimble said the changes were driven by the desire to reinforce the competition’s purpose — to encourage students to improve their spelling and broaden their knowledge of the language.

Vocabulary has been a regular part of the bee during its 87-year history, but it’s always been the spellers asking for the definition to help them spell the word. Now the tables will be turned, with the spellers taking a computer test that looks like something from the SAT. The vocabulary tests will take place in private rooms and will not be part of the television broadcasts, but they will count for 50 percent of the point totals that determine the semifinalists and finalists.

OUT OF BOUNDS

Time for ‘The Big Cactus’ to make his Shaq-tastic exit EMILY BAYCI Sports columnist

To

start this column off, I would like to extend my apologies to Shaquille O’Neal. I really am a fan, and I’m only doing this because I want the best for you. I would also like to extend my apologies to my father: Please don’t disown me for ragging on Shaq — hear me out, I have a point. Now that we’re done with all the necessary formalities it’s time to get down to the punch line: Shaq needs to go away. His time is done, and it’s time for Shaq to remove himself from the limelight. It’s for everybody’s good, I promise. My anger stems from the two emails and one text message I received yesterday. They highlighted the Reebok Shaq Attaq shoes, which will be released on my birthday next week — April 19, in case you didn’t know the date. Needless to say, nobody cares about these, Reebok. There just isn’t enough swag to them. Everyone knows Shaq is awesome, it’s not even worth arguing, but I’ll give you the Cliff’s Notes version anyways. He’s more than 7 feet tall, about 330 pounds, and he owned the paint in the NBA. This was all done while sporting a #shaqtastic personality. He has four NBA championship rings, one MVP award, three All-Star Game MVP awards, three Finals MVP awards, and the list goes on and on. Shaq’s basketball prowess was how he made a name for himself, highlighted by his cheeky grin, arrogant-yet-awesome attitude and outrageous style. He has a book, five rap albums, multiple TV shows and is even a reserve police officer. There’s no recreating Shaquille O’Neal. There’s Shaq’s slogans, nicknames and flawless advice. There’s my favorite Shaq quote he says about himself: “I am Superman. And the only thing that can kill Superman is Kryptonite. And Kryptonite doesn’t exist.” As his Twitter bio says, “I perform random acts of Shaqness.” And the nicknames he has, there’s so many, I question how many of them stuck more than a minute: “The Diesel,” “Shaq Fu,” “The Big Cactus,” “The Real Deal,” “The Big Conductor” and probably a million more we could just make up on the spot. Shaq built a name for himself during his prime and became a legend of sorts. There’s enough Shaq stories and debates to keep people talking through an entire basketball series. You know, “When was Shaq the most intimidating in the paint?” “What came first: Shaq or tastic?” “How real is the drama between Shaq and Kobe Bryant?” To name a few. But for every great Shaq moment there’s a #shaqfail to balance it out. I tried to shrug off the movie “Kazaam” when it was released in 1996, a movie about Shaq the genie that was terrible. I muted my volume when Shaq started his career as an announcer. I looked the other way when his style started getting too obnoxious to handle. But it’s hard to ignore the constant Gold Bond commercials where Shaq tells you to not mess with perfection. I can’t help but look at the article about Adam Sandler trying to sneak a glimpse at Shaq’s penis. It’s impossible to miss the booming police officer in “Grown Ups

This game will be without some of the biggest stars from last season. Some will be preparing for the NFL draft such as Michael Buchanan, Akeem Spence and Terry Hawthorne. An abundance of others — Steve Hull, Jonathan Brown, Jon Davis — will miss the game because of injury. And Nathan Scheelhaase, entering his fifth year with the program, will play limited snaps, so expect a lot of reps from third-string quarterback Chase Haslett.

Illinois hosts Purdue in 3-game series Illinois (19-10, 2-4 Big Ten) will host a threegame series with Purdue (11-19, 4-5) during Moms Weekend in an attempt to rebound from Tuesday’s 8-4 loss to Eastern Illinois. The Illini’s offense was stagnant against the Panthers, who exploded for eight runs in the sixth inning to solidify the win. Illinois, meanwhile, took until the ninth inning to record a hit following Justin Parr’s solo home run in the first. Parr extended his hitting streak to a career-best 17 games, and looks to continue it this weekend. “The other night, we were in the opposite of a groove,” Parr said. “We’re trying to turn that around.” Purdue won the conference championship last year, though this year’s Boilermakers feature a vastly different lineup. Purdue will be without reigning Big Ten Pitcher of the Year Joe Haase, who blanked the Illini with 7 2/3 innings of fivehit ball in Game One of what would be a threegame sweep by the Boilermakers.

Hartville proves his worth for Illini at Big Tens BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER

Freshman Fred Hartville wasn’t always on Illinois head coach Justin Spring’s recruitment radar. “I was visiting and appearing at regional camps and international gymnastics camps,” Spring said. “He was at both of them when I was there a couple of years ago and I remembered him. To be honest, he wasn’t any kind of standout then.” During his senior year in high school, Hartville reached out to Spring via email and expressed interest in Illinois’ gymnastics program. It wasn’t until then that Spring started to see Hartville as a potential addition to the Illini. “His senior year, he started to do the huge vault that he is doing now,” Spring said. “His floor routine construction was interesting, but he had huge talent. I thought he would be a huge contributor and I kept telling him that. The next thing you know he said, ‘I’ve got family in Illinois and I think I want to come to the University of Illinois.’” Hartville is an Atlanta native and was looking for a family to replace his own while away at school. His prospective teammates, his relationship with Spring and the academic reputation helped sway him to choose Illinois. “Being able to hang with some of the guys here and them coaching me at camps really showed me how much of a family they are and how dedicated they are to working,” Hartville said. “I met Justin two to three times at different camps and competitions. He was a great coach and a great presence to be around.” Hartville made his presence known during his debut performance with the Illini against UIC, scoring a 15.300 on the vault and earning his first of many titles this season. He tied the eighth-highest vault score in school history, which would be his career high until the Big Ten Championships. After a rough start on pommel horse and a mediocre rings performance, Illinois needed a spark, and Hartville filled that role. Vault has

been one of the weakest events for the Illini this year, but they have shown a stronger vault presence toward the end of the season. During the team competition at the Big Ten Championships, Illinois posted a season-high 73.600 on the vault. Hartville anchored the Illini with a stuck vault, setting his new career high of 15.550, which was the highest score in Illinois history and the second highest in the NCAA this season. “We placed third in the Big Ten on vault, and that’s a lot because all the guys did their jobs and Fred put the stamp on the end of that,” Spring said. “He won the meet. That extra five-tenth swings coming in from the anchor helps brings our average up.” Hartville earned his sixth vault title of the season. He qualified for the individual event finals the next day where he would be competing against Olympian Sam Mikulak. Keeping Hartville motivated and focused wasn’t hard. Toward the end of the lineup and with no previous stuck landings from his competitors, Hartville knew what he had to do. However, right before his vault, it was the furthest thing from his mind. “‘Do not go for the stick’ were my final thoughts,” Hartville said. “As crazy as that may sound, the more you go for that stick, the more likely you are to under-rotate, and most of the time you fall or go out bounds. I just tried to do my vault. I did it without trying to stick it and the stick just came.” With his second consecutive stuck landing at the Big Ten Championships, Hartville earned his first Big Ten Title. A score of 15.425 pushed him to the top of the leader board and past Mikulak. “He’s like me or all good competitors where you just have to present the challenge and he gets fired up and excited about it,” Spring said. “I told him, ‘I dare you to stick it again.’ And he said, ‘I’m going to do it.’ And when he did it, I thought, ‘Are you kidding me? Unbelievable.’ To stick a vault is tough, even an easy vault, but to stick the vault that he does is

To do it twice in a row is amazing.” Hartville has been a huge leader for the Illini on the vault this season and has also made contributions to the floor lineup. Senior Yoshi Mori was happy to see him succeed and bring home the only Big Ten title for Illinois. “I could not be more happy for Fred,” Mori said. “He did more than what was expected for both team and event finals. He was a big contributor to the team not only on vault but floor as well.” Recording seven vault titles and breaking former Illini Paul Ruggeri’s record by five hundredths of a point are two of the biggest accomplishments for Hartville this season.

Illini will head to NCAAs next weekend, where Hartville hopes to continue his success. “Next week he could be a national champion, and could be a repetitive national champion.” Spring said. “The trick with vault is that consistency is always tough. There are a lot of other guys that have a 15.6 start value, very few of them can stick and very few of them can stick it two times in a row. “I think he has a very bright future on floor and vault and he will continue to be a very big player for us on those two events. He will rack up title wins back-to-back-to-back in his career.”

CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs found a severed goat’s head at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, and they’re treating the cruel reference to a longtime curse as a crime. Chicago police were called in to investigate after a man stopped the white van he was driving, walked a box to a security entrance on Waveland Avenue and wordlessly put it down, Cubs spokesman Julian Green said. Security workers opened the box, addressed to team owner Tom Ricketts, and discovered the severed head. The team immediately called police. Green said Thursday that police were given surveillance video, and that he doesn’t know why someone would deliver a goat’s head. Police did not comment on who might have left the goat head or a possible motive — other than to refer to the head in a brief statement as an “intimidating package.” Cubs manager Dale Sveum had a theory, of sorts. “Obviously, it’s just an unfortunate fan doing something pretty stupid,” he said. The significance of the goat, however, isn’t lost on many. In 1945, a tavern owner named William “Billy Goat” Sianis tried to bring a goat to a World Series game, but was told his goat — which had a ticket — smelled too much to be admitted. Sianis angrily put a curse on the team and since then, the Cubs haven’t been back to the World Series. Fans have had little to cheer on the field in recent years, as the Cubs lost more than 100 games last year and are off to a rocky start this season. As for Ricketts, he’s been negotiating a $300 million renovation of the stadium, built almost a century ago, with the city and neighborhood businesses. Police have not said whether the head is believed to be linked to those negotiations.— or anything else. Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Thursday he has contacted Ricketts about the head. “There’s nothing else to say, it speaks for itself, it’s wrong to do,” Emanuel said. “I did call Tom last night, and said obviously that the police need to do something, we’ll be on it.” Cubs players, however, weren’t intimidated by the gesture. “That’s probably just an upset fan or a fan of another team,” first baseman Anthony Rizzo said. “My opinion it’s just dumb, but it is what it is.” Pitcher Jeff Samardzija was disappointed with the lack of creativity. “Very original since it’s only been around for 60, 70 years,” pitcher Jeff Samardzija said. “You’d think they’d come up with something different.” As for Green, he doesn’t want anything to do with another goat. “We’ve got one too many goat legends,” he said. “We don’t need another one.”

Softball’s struggling offense faces Minnesota BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

The Illini softball team has lost 10 of its last 11 games and have had difficulties against Big Ten opponents this season, losing every conference game except one contest against Nebraska. Illinois (11-22, 1-8 Big Ten) was set to travel Minnesota (23-13, 6-3) for a three-game series this weekend with hopes of improving its conference resume. The series was originally scheduled to be played in Minnesota, but due to a winter storm in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, the series will be played in Urbana. Illinois has driven in just two runs in its last four games and has scored more than two runs in only two of its last 11 contests — including zero hits last Friday against Northwestern.

The Illini have lost to the NCAA mercy rule three times in their last four games, being outscored 35-2 by their opponents. Minnesota will likely look to its ace, Sara Moulton, to shut down what has been an unreliable Illini offense so far this year. Head coach Terri Sullivan said she believes Moulton is one of the best pitchers in the Big Ten. “They have a strong pitcher on the mound, and they’re playing good softball right now,� Sullivan said. “That’s what you expect from everybody.� Moulton has started 28 of the Gophers’ 36 games and leads the team with a 1.56 ERA while posting a 19-8 record thus far in her junior year. Illinois pitcher Pepper Gay said the team has been primar-

ily focusing on offense in practice this week. “Right now, we just want to get our offense going, because that’s contagious,� Gay said. “If one person starts going, hopefully others will follow soon.� Sullivan said the team’s goal this weekend is to not allow Minnesota’s best hitters beat the Illini defense. Minnesota has outscored opponents 148-103 and faces a struggling Illinois pitching staff. Gay (6-13) has a 4.62 ERA in her senior season and is walking more than 25 percent of batters. “We have to really work hard to keep the rest of their lineup off base or make them earn everything they get,� Sullivan said. “They have some outstanding numbers from that top part of their lineup.�

Men’s track switches around lineup for in-state meet The Illinois men’s track and field team will look to recharge its collective batteries at the Lee Calhoun Invitational in Macomb, Ill., as the stretch run of the season looms. The meet at Western Illinois will be comparatively light for Illinois. For the most part, the meet will consist of teams from smaller schools in Illinois and from conferences such as the Missouri Valley and the Horizon leagues. “We are looking forward to this meet for two reasons: We won’t need to travel very far, and it gives our younger guys an opportunity to develop for us,�

head coach Mike Turk said. “It will definitely be one of the more relaxed meets of the season for us, but that doesn’t mean that we are not still looking for some positive signs going forward.� The 400-meter relay team will be back on the track for the Illini, but the squad will have to grow accustomed to a slew of lineup changes. Turk made the decision to replace junior Vanier Joseph, who has been battling soreness in his hamstring, with sophomore Jade Ackerman. The Rantoul, Ill., native, who typically runs 200-meters, is no stranger to the 4x100, as he ran the third leg for the Big Ten Champion relay team last season.

Other lineup changes include alterations to the relay order, as junior Julian Smith will lead off while sophomore DJ Zahn will anchor. The middle two legs will consist of sophomore Brandon Stryganek in the second spot and Ackerman in his old spot in the third leg. “The great thing about a meet like this is that it gives us a chance to implement different personnel in light of changes in order to see how they work for us,� Turk said. “This is the lineup we expect for the next few meets, so we need them to step it up, even in a meeting that is not of huge importance for us.�

The addition of Ackerman was met with open arms by the other members on the relay squad. “We’re all pretty excited to have a guy like Jade who knows what it takes to win in the 4x1, and we are definitely ready to hit our stride,� Stryganek said. Along with hoping alignment changes to the relay squad have positive repercussions, the Illini look to continue the development of some of the younger runners at the meet — especially in the long-distance events. Most of the top long-distance runners will not compete over the weekend, as they will use the off week to prepare for the long-distance-exclusive Mt. Sac Relays next weekend.

After adding three hitters to its freshman class in November, the Illinois volleyball team has rounded out its 2013 recruiting class. The Illini announced the signings of defensive specialist Danielle Davis and setter/defensive specialist McKenna Kelsay on Thursday. The duo joins outside hitters Michelle Strizak and Katie Roustio and middle blocker Katie Stadick for the entire class. “I am excited to welcome Danielle and McKenna to our program,� said head coach Kevin Hambly in a press release. “They will both be great culture kids and great teammates and will compete to get on the floor immediately. They, along with the other three players, make for a great 2013 that will bring a lot of competitiveness and depth to our gym. I can’t wait to get them all in the gym.� Both players are in-state recruits, as Kelsay is from St. Francis High School in Wheaton, Ill., and Davis is from Bloomington, Ill. Kelsay slides into the backup setter role behind sophomore Alexis Viliunas. With setter Annie Luhrsen graduating, there was a need for setter depth on the roster. Kelsay was named AllArea by the Daily Herald, as well as one of the top-50 prospects in the state, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. She provides a lot of versatility on the court by also being able to play defensive specialist or libero. “McKenna is a tremendous athlete, and if she was taller, she would be coveted as a 5-1 setter,� Hambly said, referring to the 5-1 offensive formation his team runs. “She can play both libero and setter and will be looked at to do both for our program. I am excited about the leadership and competitiveness she will bring to the program.� Davis fills a void left by defensive specialist Jackie Wolfe but will have to compete with the current Illini defensive specialists to see the court. The Illini already have two on the roster in Julia Conard and Courtney Abrahamovich, both of whom were used at times last season. At Bloomington Central Catholic High School, Davis was named all-area and all-conference each of her four years there. This past season, she was named area volleyball Player of the Year. “Danielle is a great attacker at the high school club level, but for us she will be looked at to be more of a ball-control, back-row player,� Hambly said. “She is a great passer and defensive player and will add tremendous depth to our libero/defensive specialist group.�

Singles holds similar doubts with No. 36 freshman Jared Hiltzik leading the Illini squad against a Buckeye roster that features five players in the top100, two of whom are top-10 players. “Brad sort of gets us in this mindset of taking it match-bymatch,� Guignon said. “He’s lost to Ohio State a lot of times, and so he’s sort of dealt with it in this way and that way, and I think this is the way he wants us to go at it.� From this view, Illinois — sitting at third in the Big Ten — is a favorite in its second match of the weekend against a Penn State team that lines the bottom of the conference. But splitting a conference weekend isn’t going to cut it for Illinois, and the team recognizes the importance of beating Ohio State. “It’s not our first top-seven team this year, and we beat two of them,� senior Stephen Hoh said. “We’ve got confidence that we can do it again.�

2,� a movie we all really should avoid watching. The bad is starting to outweigh the good. And we really don’t want that to happen. Last week, Shaq’s No. 34 jersey was officially retired from the Los Angeles Lakers. Shaq was dressed to the nines, a highlight video was played, and his jersey was raised with the Superman theme playing in the background. Seems like a good way to go out, right?

tem. It’s unlikely that Cubit will reveal much of his playbook, nor is it likely the Illini are fully adjusted to the new offense yet. “You can see there’s not a lot of trust early in practice,� Cubit said. “So we’re holding the ball a little bit longer than I’d like. I thought the last two practices we got it out faster, and you can see at times we’re a little bit better ... so it’s gotten better, but it’s nowhere near where it needs to be.� Friday night will also give fans a chance to see if the Illini defense has improved at all. The secondary will be especially young, with most of last season’s starters gone. “As far as the system goes and the plan, it’s still the same, but

obviously it’s utilizing those pieces a little bit better,� defensive coordinator Tim Banks said. This will also be the first look at the five new assistant coaches hired this past offseason, including Cubit; however, the new HD video scoreboard, 36-feet-tall and 96-feet-wide, will not be installed in time for the game. Illinois is going to bring back notable alumni to serve as honorary coaches including New England Patriots defensive back Tavon Wilson (Blue) and former All-American guard Tim Simpson (Orange). Wide receivers coach Mike Bellamy will be the head coach of the Orange team against the Blue team’s head coach defensive line coach Greg Colby. Both are new coaches and also played at Illinois.

BASEBALL FROM PAGE 1B “Luke-y!� Lyzanne would call from the stands. He suspects this was in an attempt to embarrass him and keep his mind off pressure situations. Luke said he could always pick her voice out from the crowd over everyone else’s. “She didn’t know the pitches I threw or how hard — basically nothing about baseball — but she was still my biggest supporter and still is,� he said. “She loved it. She cheered for everyone — just a little louder for me.� Lyzanne was diagnosed on Aug. 14 and began radiation treatment three weeks after. Spirits were high at first, but fatigue soon set in. It wasn’t until a month into the treatment that his father told Luke she would

lose the fight. The reality was a slap in the face, he remembers. She rarely opened her eyes the last two weeks leading to the end. “We were pretty much just waiting,� Luke said. “I feel like everyone in my family knew but me.� Lyzanne died on the morning of Oct. 9 with her husband and four children by her side. Tearfilled days and sleepless nights followed. Some days it was a battle just to leave his bed. Others he’d do all he could to keep busy and try and focus elsewhere. Baseball has proved a worthy distraction, though he hasn’t seen the field as much as he’d like. Luke struggled in his one appearance this season against Oakland in March, when he allowed a double, threw a wild pitch, walked four and was charged with three runs without recording an out. He said his mom was with

him that night, watching him. He thinks about her daily, often before he goes to bed. If there’s a silver lining to what happened, it’s that Lyzanne wasn’t diagnosed sooner. Earlier diagnosis wouldn’t have helped, Luke said. She would’ve been constrained to a hospital bed for a year rather than two months, unable to travel to all of Luke’s games. There were signs, sure. Her normal energy had gradually decreased and she’d cough here and there, but cheering for her Luke triggered her reserves. “She would love for me to pitch every night, every game,� Joyce said, his voice shaking. He paused. “She’s still going to watch down on me and be my biggest fan. “Staying busy is the best thing. This is my escape.�

Former Bears WR Hurd pleads guilty to drug-possession charge DALLAS — Former NFL wide receiver Sam Hurd pleaded guilty Thursday to trying to buy cocaine and marijuana to set up a drug-distribution network, leaving a once-promising career in tatters as he faces a prison sentence of at least 10 years. Hurd, 27, pleaded guilty in federal court in Dallas to one count of possession of cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute. He pleaded guilty days before his trial was scheduled to begin, without any promise of a more lenient sentence. He faces 10 years to life in prison when he is sentenced in July. Standing in an orange jumpsuit, the tall, lanky Hurd leaned into a microphone and asked to address the court. “I’m sorry for everything I’ve done,� he said in a brief statement, adding that he intended to plead guilty for months and never expected the process to take as long as it did. Hurd was playing for the Chicago Bears in December 2011 — months after signing a contract reportedly worth more than $5 million — when he attended a meeting at a Chicago-area steakhouse with an undercover officer and a confidential informant. Prosecutors have alleged in court documents that Hurd accepted a

kilogram of cocaine from the officer and signaled that he’d be interested in buying large, weekly quantities of cocaine and marijuana. Hurd was arrested outside the steakhouse and cut by the Bears shortly afterward. He was released on bond, but was rearrested in August after failing drug tests and being accused of trying to arrange another drug buy. Jay Ethington, one of Hurd’s attorneys, said after court Thursday that his client was “an extensive marijuana user,� which may have contributed to his involvement in trafficking. “Here’s a young fellow that had his whole life ahead of him,� Ethington said, adding that Hurd was active in charity work on his own. “Now that’s all gone.� Hurd, a native of San Antonio, played college football at Northern Illinois and then five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys before signing a three-year contract with the Bears in 2011 that was reportedly worth up to $5.15 million. Prosecutors and Hurd’s attorneys worked for months on finalizing a guilty plea. One sticking point was what allegations Hurd would acknowledge in a plea agreement. Hurd’s relatives declined to comment after the hearing.
