Illinois considers receipts for taxpayers Income tax receipts meant to create transparency, but may be more complicated BY BRITTANY GIBSON STAFF WRITER
Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon introduced a transparency initiative on April 14 with the goal of allowing citizens to view exactly where their income tax money goes in the form of a tax receipt. Simon is working with the Illinois Department of Revenue and the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget to design this tax receipt and make sure it’s available annually, beginning at the start of the next tax filing system in January 2014. “The Lt. Governor has been a longtime advocate for increasing openness and transparency in government,” said Annie Thompson, Simon’s spokeswoman. “This is really to help inform people about government and give them a clearer picture of government spending.” According to her press release, Simon wants taxpayers who file their taxes online to receive an itemized receipt that illustrates where their money goes and how it fits into the state’s multibillion dollar budget. “When you pay your credit card bill or when you buy groceries, you get a receipt that shows you exactly where your money went,” Thompson said. “This really seemed like a common sense thing that government could do to give taxpayers a better idea of where their money is going.” Brian Gaines, associate professor in political science, said this idea of transparency is already

Initative for receipt to show amount of income tax funding to state departments Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon is pushing for measures which would allow for transparency of spending of taxpayer funding. Taxpayer money contributes to almost half of state revenue.

Using 21.6 pounds of cigarette litter collected from Saturday’s “Blooms, not Butts” tobacco litter pickup event, two groups of competing students transformed the litter into displays Tuesday afternoon. “What we wanted to do was find a positive way to let people know about the smoke-free campus policy that will be in effect in Janu-

ary,” said Michele Guerra, director of the UI Wellness Center. “We also wanted to draw attention to the fact that tobacco litter is an environmental hazard.” Two teams stationed in the Courtyard Cafe at the Illini Union had to design sculptures or models, 80 percent of which had to be constructed from collected tobacco litter, following the theme “Benefits of a SmokeFree Campus.”
One team built a model of the Quad out of cigarette butts, including a model of Foellinger Auditorium at the end and a willow tree in the middle. “The main Quad represents the whole campus,” said Donny Kwandindo, a member of the team and graduate of the University. “It shows the attempt to make a smoke-free campus. The willow tree shows how the litter seeps into the grass and into the trunks of the trees.”
The second team displayed four glass vases holding a few flowers. Two of the vases were filled with butts while another vase held flowers that were constructed with cigarette butts and wire. The team with the model of the Quad won first place and received $225, Guerra said. Everybody who competed received a free pass for

Following the death of film critic and University alumnus Roger Ebert on April 4, the College of Media will launch the Roger Ebert Program for Film Studies, open to all students, next fall. This yearlong program will provide students with the opportunity to learn about film commentary from professors, scholars and other guest speakers in the industry, as well as teach them film histo-
ry and the workings of the industry. Students can also write their own film critiques while taking part in the program. The program will run similarly to Ebertfest and will expose them to multiple areas of media. Throughout the year, the program will bring speakers, panels and screenings to the students. Jan Slater, interim dean of the College of Media, said she thinks the program will attract many prominent speakers. Slater said she thinks
the conversations Ebert had about film’s impact on individuals and the society will also be incorporated into the program. Additionally, students will be exposed to some of Ebert’s work found in the University Archives in University Hall. “I think there are so many people that are anxious to give back for what they thought Roger did for them,” Slater said. “That’s certainly been our experience at the festival (Ebertfest,) and I think that hav-
ing something at the University is even more important because so many people want to help the next generation if they can.” Angharad Valdivia, department head of Media and Cinema Studies, said she thinks students will benefit from the facets of the program. “There will be students who are educated not just about film criticism, but also about production in the industry, about audiences and

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
The Champaign Fire Department responded to a fire at Illini Tower, 409 E. Chalmers St., on Tuesday afternoon. The sixth floor trash room’s alarm had been activated, and firefighters found in the basement that a dumpster, which fed into the trash chute, was on fire. The sprinkler activated and put the fire out, but the dumpster was still smoldering. The firefighters put the dumpster outside, and they then ventilated the building because the smoke traveled up the chute onto the floors. “As we were doing that, we kept encountering smoke in places that we had already ventilated,” said Glen Daniels, fire captain at the Champaign Fire Department. “We found a small rag that was still burning that was stuck in the trash chute, we removed that, continued ventilating and then discovered that there was actually trash at the first floor level that was between the trash chute liner and the outside wall of the trash chute -- a place where trash shouldn’t be -- that had caught fire from the metal liner of the trash chute, so at that point we had to cut a whole metal liner out to make sure the fire was fully extinguished.” Daniels also said the department did not find any evidence of arson but was not able to rule out the possibility that the fire had been set intentionally.

TAXES FROM PAGE 1A present for property tax but not for income tax. He said property tax bills, sent to tax payers, have about 15 lines of different “taxing authorities,” each with a different percentage rate. This allows the consumer to view where property taxes are being used, such as what proportion goes to libraries, what proportion goes to park districts and what proportion goes to schools. Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing ex pl a i ned Urba n a’s cu r rent transparency in regards to property taxes. “Our (property) tax bills already show where the money goes by broad categories,” she said. “It’s completely public knowledge what our budgets are.” W hile property taxes have always maintained a high level of transparency, Gaines said income taxes lack the same clarity because the budget they feed into is much more complicated. “A government budget is such a
BLOOMS FROM PAGE 1A healthy cooking and group fitness classes at the Wellness Center. Each display was judged on its use of litter, its creativity and how well it expressed the theme. “We wanted to find a unique way to display the tobacco litter,” Guerra said. “Other campuses have put the litter in glass cylinders, taken a photograph and just shown it. We thought it would be a more interesting way to display the litter by having people create stuff out of it.” Paula Chmiel, program assistant of the UI Wellness Center, came up with the idea of doing something artistic with the litter. “It’s a positive way to tell people more about the smoke-free campus instead of just showing displays that would be impactful,” Chmiel said. Shravan Gupta, member of the “Blooms not Butts” committee and sophomore in Engineering, said this way of showing the 21.6 pounds of litter has more shock value. “When people see this big collection of tobacco litter in one place, it opens their minds to how much litter there actually is on campus,” Gupta said.
complicated entity that it is extremely hard to say for any given taxpayer who has seen a fixed amount in taxes where exactly the money goes,” Gaines said. “As long as we’re spending more than we’re taking in ... then there’s a lot of discretion in describing exactly where the money goes.” The Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University began a project in 2008 called “The Fiscal Futures Project,” which examines this exact issue. This project, funded by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, is dedicated to informing policy makers and the public about state budget transparency and long-term budget concerns. In her press release, Simon also presented a sample tax receipt for a tax payer that pays $1,000 in income taxes to the state. The receipt listed “health and social services” and “elementary and secondary education” as the top two areas where income tax money is spent. These two areas made up nearly 66 percent of the tax payer’s entire income tax budget.
Before the event, Guerra said she and the Student Well-being Committee, a subcommittee of the Wellness Center, worked to form the event in a way that did not reflect negatively on those who smoke. They framed the theme, visuals and overall message to focus entirely on the litter. “We’re not targeting the smokers — we’re targeting the litter,” Chmiel said. Gupta said more than 45 volunteers in 12 teams of five people participated in Saturday’s pickup. Most of the volunteers were from the University’s chapter of Alpha Phi Omega and the master’s of public health degree program. “We had a lot of support from health groups, and the remaining people were random friends and co-workers who were interested in this sort of thing,” Gupta said. The teams covered nine different areas across campus. The top four were Gregory Hall, the Undergraduate Library, the Student Dining and Residential Programs building and Grainger Engineering Library. Of the 21.6 pounds of litter that was collected, 15 came from those locations, Guerra said.

Attorney aims to keep bomber alive BY SHARON COHEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
There are photos of the suspect at the bomb scene, video footage of him dropping a knapsack at the site of one of the blasts, and perhaps most incriminating could be the written words of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev himself during questioning in a Boston hospital. A case with evidence like this may be the toughest challenge a lawyer can face: defending someone accused of an act of terror so horrific a nation cries out for swift, severe punishment. Attorneys who handle terrorism and other notorious cases say public opinion is stacked against the defense for obvious reasons. Acts of terrorism unleash an outpouring of anger from the public, including potential jurors. In Boston, the circumstances are especially egregious: Three people, including an 8-year-old boy, died in the
twin blasts, more than 260 were injured, and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was later fatally shot. Some lawyers say that in this case, the surveillance evidence and a police shootout make a “he wasn’t there” innocence claim untenable — and keeping Tsarnaev out of the execution chamber may itself be a triumph. “The reality is you just try to save his life,” said Thomas A. Durkin, a Chicago lawyer who has defended several terrorism suspects, including Ramzi bin al Shibh, one of the alleged plotters in the 9/11 attacks now being held in Guantanamo. “It’s just an unspeakable crime,” Durkin said. “It strikes at the heart of a free society. It strikes fear into everyone. It’s just an awful, awful situation — people standing, watching a race one second and having no feet after that. I can’t imagine worse evidence.”
However, in spite of the sample that was released, Gaines said he still doubts the accuracy of the tax receipt. “There isn’t a noncontroversial sample receipt that doesn’t have some kind of decisions along the way about how to describe where the money goes,” he said. “In general, transparency is a good thing, (but) the state budget is too hard to understand for most people. It’s hard to say there’s something wrong with a government initiative to try to make it clear ... but I guess I think the idea is too simple.” P russing said she supports transparency in tax receipts and in the government in general. “I can say that if you can find a government that’s more open and transparent than Urbana, I would like to know about it,” she said. “I don’t know of any government that does a better job of keeping things open ... Anything you want to know is public. That’s state law.”

FILM FROM PAGE 1A about digital effects so as to have this holistic approach to the production of media,” Valdivia said. Ebert had been working on the program for a number of years before the idea of the program was officially announced at Ebertfest in 2009. That same year, he and his wife Chaz Ebert began the Roger Ebert Program for Film Studies Fund with a donation of $1 million to name a center for the program. “The University of Illinois is deep in my heart as a great institution,” Ebert said in a University of Illinois Foundation press release in April 2009. “It informed me and enriched me. I hope when this Program and Center are fully realized, they will inspire new generations.” Slater said the University plans to dedicate the center to Ebert and that the University needs a total of $5 million to establish it. The fund now contains Ebert’s $1 million donation and an anonymous $1 mil-

lion donation. Slater said the University hopes to continue receiving donations to name the center. “We think it’s important to go ahead and begin the programming and continue to raise funds, and when we have the funds for it to become a center, it will be named The Roger Ebert Film Studies Center,” Slater said. Along with the introduction of the program and dedication of the center, Slater said the creation of student fellowships is also one of the University’s goals. “We hope that there will be some student fellowships that we can create through the program that will help students understand, practice and explore film criticism as a career,” Slater said. Ryan McArdell, sophomore in Media, said the program will be very beneficial for students within and outside of the College of Media. “MACS majors and other students interested in media need as much input from speakers outside of the college as they can get, considering how film and media are constantly evolving,” he said.

Lead companies reveal economic recovery BY STEVE ROTHWELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Companies that do the best when the economy is improving led the market higher Tuesday after several of them reported strong quarterly earnings. Coach, a maker of luxury handbags, and Netflix, which streams TV shows and movies over the Internet, were winners after announcing profits that impressed investors. Financial stocks rose after Travelers’ earnings beat the expectations of financial analysts who follow the company. That’s a change from earlier this year. The stock market’s surge in 2013 has been led by so-called defensive industries such as health care, consumer staples and utilities. Investors buy those stocks when they’re unsure about the direction of the economy and want to own companies that make products people buy in bad times as well as good. Until now, they’ve been less enthusiastic about stocks of companies that provide discretionary goods and services and do best in good times. “For a change we are actually seeing more cyclical parts of the economy lead the market,” said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial Group. The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index both rose 1 percent, and for a third straight day. Stocks closed higher even after financial markets were shaken in

ILLINOIS STUDENT SENATE
ISS to vote on iRent program expansion BY LIZ AMANIEH STAFF WRITER
The Illinois Student Senate will vote Wednesday on whether to expand the iRent Program with the purchase of more iClickers. The iRent Program, which was established last semester, rents out free iClickers to students. This program has saved students about $8,000 over the past semester. Rachel Heller, senator and iRent coordinator and sophomore in LAS, supports the expansion. “I think that the expansion is
a good thing because this money that the ISS is spending is going to help students who might have other financial burdens who might not be able to spend $40 for an iClicker for one class,” said Heller. Students can rent an iClicker for a semester and at the end of the semester return the iClicker for no fee. ISS rented out almost all of the 200 iClickers they initially obtained, which they saw as a success. As a result, sponsors of this resolution would like to expand the program to help more
students with financial burdens. The program is directed towards students with financial needs, but is open to all students. Students who may not want to purchase an iClicker for only one class can also benefit from this program. In addition, the senate would like to host a donation event in which seniors can donate their iClickers. This would prevent waste and limit costs for the program. In addition to helping students, the iClicker will provide publicity for the senate. More students
will be aware of the intent of the senate’s intent to aid students. ISS has outlined that each iClicker costs $39.99 and they plan on purchasing 200, totaling $7,998. “There are definitely a lot more students out there who are in need of iClickers who have already paid student fees,” said treasurer and graduate student Kevin Seymour. “Why not use that money to give a free iClicker for the semester?”

Equinox House uses sustainable technology for zero impact BY LYANNE ALFARO STAFF WRITER
The Mahomet Public Library had a fresh air problem: there was too much. “They had so much fresh air coming in that their air conditioning system could not handle that load,” said Ty Newell, vice president of Newell Instruments Inc. “It was like they were trying to air condition the outside.” When the library consulted Ty for help, he developed an indoor air quality, temperature and humidity test. “It was a bunch of wires and circuit boards just lying on a desk,” Ty said. The wires evolved into a box called the Black Box IAQ. The Black Box is the latest in a series of products released by Build Equinox, a business run by Newell Instruments. It was released among other products designed to improve air quality. The Black Box IAQ measures carbon dioxide and volatile organic compound levels indoors, emitted gases that can harm the environment. Thy, also a professor emeritus in the mechanical science and engineering department at the University, created the New Instruments Inc. in 1996. The company remained on campus for eight years until it expanded in 2004. After 27 years of teaching, Ty retired in 2007. Now the company is headed by Ty and his son, Ben, who graduated from the University with a degree in mechanical engineering and became president in 2002
after working closely with his father. By using the same energy-efficiency methods their company promotes, they worked together on the Equinox House, a net-zero energy home in Urbana. They finished the house in fall 2010. During construction, they also tried to keep energy efficiency in mind. The home’s photovoltaic system, which turns sunlight into electricity, supplied energy while they constructed the building. Ty and his wife, Deb, have lived in the house ever since. The Equinox house’s main source of power is the sun, collected through solar panels. To further reduce utility bills, Ty uses a charger to collect energy at night using Power Smart Pricing, an Ameren Illinois program that charges electricity hourly when energy costs can dip below three cents per kilowatt hour. He does this as opposed to using electricity around noon, when energy costs are usually more than five cents per kilowatt hour, according to Ameren. The Equinox House also uses a Conditioning Energy Recovery Ventilator, originally developed through Newell Instruments to consistently provide the home with fresh air, as well as moderate temperature and humidity levels. The system checks air quality indoors and outside. When the air quality is not optimal, CERV adds fresh and filtered outdoor air to the room. In addition to drawing water from the Mahomet Aquifer, the
Equinox House also relies on rainwater collectors on the roof to accumulate water. “We were the first house in Illinois to get that permission to use rainwater in a house,” Ty said. “After almost three years of collecting rainwater, it’s never run dry, even with the drought last summer, and it works very well.” Although the Equinox House’s use of rainwater is restricted to toilet use, Ty said that he hopes that rainwater usage indoors will expand to other areas of the home in future years, including showers and laundry. In the meantime, the Equinox House also uses low-flow toilets to waste less water. “Water is dirt cheap here,” Ty said. “We have some of the best water than anywhere in the world. It’s almost criminal that it is that inexpensive. There is quite a bit of waste as far as how it is used.” Bethany Cutts, a professor in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, teaches environmental justice and policy at the University. She said that collecting rainwater and using low-flush toilets are a simple start for homeowners to begin to use water more wisely. “Currently in the United States, people are using a lot of potable water for services that don’t need potable water, like watering lawns or flushing toilets,” Cutts said. As for the Build Equinox products already in the market this spring, Ben said he has an idea of who may be among the consumers: “It’s probably (going to be) the baby boomer generation,” Ben

The design software helps common consumers and architects to deter-
mine the energy impact of different design choices. The Newell Instruments team hopes that Build Equinox products appeal to people who want a home that is easy to live in. “The complexities in the design of it are going to be for people who are concerned about the environment, sustainability and want to put their money where their thought is,” Ben said.
ZEROs is available at no cost to one-time users and students, although it will offer long-term packages in the future, the Black Box IAQ retails at $149 per assessment and the CERV at $4,500 a system, plus $100 a switch to control it remotely.

Dispute reflects poorly on Suburban Express’ customer relations
As
The Daily Illini reported last week, the Suburban Express bus company recently started a tiff with University of Illinois graduate student Jeremy Leval. Leval claims he stood up for an international student that a bus driver allegedly berated in an offensive and unnecessary way. Suburban Express disagreed, stating that Leval was a “meddling, self-aggrandizing student” trying to promote his own agenda. Leval was subsequently banned from riding on its buses. Both Leval and Suburban Express have different accounts of what happened that day, but that isn’t what we have a problem with. What we do take issue with is Suburban Express’ handling of the allegations. Suburban Express responded to Leval’s claims with a haphazard statement that lacked formality. In the statement, the company lambasts Leval for “calling as much attention to himself as possible to promote his own competing business.” The “competing business,” College Rides, was never launched and never will be, according to Leval. If this incident did indeed occur, the driver should have simply offered assistance to the student who did not understand the verbal directions. But instead, the driver supposedly responded with, “If you don’t understand English, you don’t belong at the University of Illinois or any ‘American’ University.” What we know as fact, though, is that Suburban Express filed 44 lawsuits this year in Ford County against passengers for tort or contract damages. It doesn’t matter whether Leval’s specific case is true because Suburban Express has clearly made it a point to silence customers who have made complaints against them. If Suburban Express’ agenda is to transport passengers from one destination to another, that is all it should do. We would like to assume some member of the Suburban Express public relations team would have the good sense to counsel against an allegation of a verbal attack toward a member of its primary customer base. Is there any question who would look worse in this situation: University students trying to travel using the bus company or the bullying behemoth bus company? We think not. America’s distaste for bullies is strong. Had the company simply taken the high road, making a public acknowledgement regarding the allegation and apologizing for any misunderstanding, nobody would have to lose any face. The company’s chosen course of taking a petty defensive stance or filing lawsuits against customers just makes the company itself look bad. With the demise of LEX, Suburban Express may think it has earned the latitude to push students around. But let there be no mistake: We’re more than just little dollar signs on your spreadsheets, we’re real people that deserve respect.

even knowing it will “pay off in the long run.” For these people, longterm success does not pay today’s bills. Equal-opportunity employment has been a major issue in this country for some time. Many different pieces of legislation have been passed to promote fair hiring practices. As such, companies cannot discriminate based on factors such as age, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation or marital status, among many others depending on the jurisdiction. In the past, many of these factors allowed people to be unfairly overlooked for employment. The fact that they can no longer determine hiring decisions is admirable. However, one criterion is missing: socioeconomic status. While a person’s economic standing would often be unknown by potential employers and not a factor in employment decisions, its importance should be noted as it pertains to opportunity. You see, for those who cannot afford to intern for free, an internship may not be a realistic opportunity. As this system becomes more prevalent with America’s companies, inequality will continue to manifest itself. The result will likely be an even wider gap between the haves and have-nots and even fewer opportunities to laterally mobilize in the American economy. I wonder if these companies would be able to enjoy that free lunch if they had that in mind.
rarely have nightmares. In fact, I wake up most mornings without a single idea of what I dreamt about the past night. A few nights ago, that wasn’t the case. I remember my REM-rendered self lying face down on top of a metal table in a pitch-black room, my hands and feet shackled by steel cuffs. Three men hooded and dressed in all black - entered and flipped on a blindingly bright spotlight aimed directly at my face. One of them placed a towel over my head, and everything was dark again. A bucket of icy water was dumped over me before I could voice any sort of complaint to my captors. I was, impossibly enough, drowning on dry land; my arms and legs flailed in a fruitless effort to escape. Then I woke up. The likeliest source of such a vividly violent dream was my recent viewing of the Kathryn Bigelow film “Zero Dark Thirty,” which controversially depicted Central Intelligence Agency operatives utilizing waterboarding on suspected alQaeda associates in an attempt to locate Osama bin Laden. But for some enemy combatants captured during the war on terror, what transpired in my head wasn’t merely the product of an overactive imagination. For them, this was a reallife nightmare. Lost amongst last week’s 24-hour coverage of the Tsarnaev brothers was the release of a report by the Constitution Project’s Task Force on Detainee Treatment. It confirmed that during the George W. Bush administration, agencies of the United States government systematically tortured dozens of suspected terrorists at CIA black sites around the world and at the Guantanamo Bay military base in Cuba. Let me say this one more time: the most powerful nation in the world, governed by neoconservatives and warmongers, ignored every international statute on interrogations and torture out of hubris and an overgrown superiority complex. The CIA’s program of “enhanced interrogation” was merely a euphemism for torture. That is not, as former vice president Dick Cheney and many former Bush staffers have maintained, a matter up for debate. It is an undisputable fact. We — the University community and the nation as a whole — should be utterly shocked by the failure of our purportedly democratic society to maintain our lofty ideological standards. Yet we have failed to take this news seriously because the Bush administration succeeded in implementing a misinformation campaign not unlike a very high national dose of Novocain. Ari Fleischer and the rest of George Dubya’s spin team convinced the American people that terrorists were the “other” — that they were somehow less than human and therefore undeserving of the sort of legal recognition that the United Nations and international law mandated. The media, once a watchdog loyal only to the public, seemed to accept this propagandizing with little reservation; the one instance in which they allowed torture to permeate the national conscience was when pictures of leashed and beaten prisoners at Abu Ghraib, in Baghdad, were leaked in 2004. Even such an egregious display of immorality — with visual aids, no less — wasn’t enough to turn the public’s sentiment against detainee mistreatment. There has to be some influential group of Americans still concerned with our constitutional rights to a fair trial and protection from unlawful detainment — right? Tea Partiers and libertarians say that they are. But they haven’t stopped crying out against an imaginary Obamaled totalitarian agenda since he was first elected (as Sarah Palin once brilliantly tweeted, “Obama lies; freedom dies”), and the only amendment in the Bill of Rights they seem to be concerned about is the Second. Progressives like myself are supposed to deal in facts and altruism. But we have seemingly ignored the entire issue of governmental overreach since we got our guy into the Oval Office for two straight terms; despite our well-staked moral high ground, we’re no less guilty of shamefully consistent ignorance with regards to torture than the right. Instead of shouting from the rooftops about civil liberties and demanding that Cheney and CIA officials are held accountable for their criminal activities, we’ve stayed silent. If we ever want to regain our standing in the global community, the U.S. needs to repent for its faults on a much greater scale than it has. President Obama and Congress need to close Guantanamo, modify their legal treatment of enemy combatants, and apologize profusely and constantly until we have ingrained a gutlevel repulsion toward torture. Then, and only then, can America be the shining example of the democratic republic that we once were.

Room for improvement in international services KIRSTEN KELLER Opinions columnist
L
ast Thursday, The Daily Illini reported that some international students at the University have trouble integrating themselves with American students, according to the results of the fall 2012 International Student Barometer Survey. The survey, which was sent to international students, including undergraduate, graduate and non-degree-seeking exchange students across 161 universities worldwide, let them rate programs and services at their respective university. Overall, the University is one of the top-rated schools for international students. It was ranked fourth out of the 21 U.S. universities that participated in the survey. It is important that the University maintains this status as a top university for international students. About 8,800 international students populate the University, which makes up around 20 percent of the entire student population. The main area that the University should focus on improving, however, is in forming connections between American and international students. Of all the students who responded to the survey, 36 percent listed “forming friendships and relationships outside of my culture group” as their greatest challenge when transitioning to life abroad. This was the largest concern, followed by language at 16 percent. Looking at campus, these statistics are understandable. While there is nothing wrong with speaking different languages, it does
create a barrier between international and American students. As a student preparing to study abroad next spring in Spain, I understand why many international students like to speak their native language here. It’s comfortable, it’s reassuring. I would be intimidated approaching a native Spanish speaker when my only practice has been in classrooms. However, as an American student, I appreciate when international students take that chance and make an effort to converse in English. It also makes me feel more able to approach international students when I hear them speaking English. While this is one step that international students can take to try to integrate themselves into American culture, there are also programs available through many of the international student resource units that should be taken advantage of. One of those programs is INTERLINK, a mentoring program that pairs a University student, faculty member or staff member with an international student. The pair typically meets once a week for coffee or lunch, and they can also go to social events together. There are only 60 to 100 pairs per semester, which is a small percentage of the international student population. Nicole Tami, associate director for international engagement, recently wrote an article addressing the International Student Barometer Survey’s results. In response to the small number of students in the INTERLINK program, she wrote: “Herein lays the challenge. While existing resources are being expanded and the number of specialized services geared at internation-
al students is growing, meeting the needs of our rapidly burgeoning undergraduate student population requires campus-wide collaboration.” While INTERLINK is only one of many programs available to international students, I believe that it is the best option to help with integration, especially when an international student is paired with an American student. A set weekly meeting with an American student would help international students practice their English and interact with people outside their own cultural group. Most importantly, programs like INTERLINK create a bond between the American student and the international student, therefore creating a friendship with an American that international students otherwise feel difficult to make. But programs like INTERLINK require, like Tami said, collaboration across campus. International students should consider these programs, and American students should get involved with them, for they are great experiences for both students involved. Many times, American students want to make friends with international students as much as international students do with Americans. The University should be applauded in having top-ranked programs and services for its international students. However, there is always room for improvement. Encouraging and participating in programs that bring together American and international students is integral to further improve the international environment at the University.

Companies benefit from unpaid internships JOHN BUYSSE Opinions columnist
O
ut of the many cliches sayings I have heard throughout my life, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” has been one that rings true in just about every situation it pertains to. Whether taken literally or figuratively, I have seen time and time again that there is always some catch that comes with a simple pleasure or exciting opportunity. Recently, though, I realized one scenario in which someone is getting a “free lunch”: companies that employ unpaid interns. In and of itself, the concept of an internship is a fairly recent one. However, within the last few decades, the importance of internships when it comes to a job candidate’s viability has grown exponentially. In past times, a college degree would often serve as the expectation and main requirement for a position. Now, many industries hold one thing above the still-important college degree: experience. It’s the one thing everyone wants but also something that can be near impossible to find. More and more companies have started to see just how coveted this elusive experience is and have adjusted their policies accordingly. However, they treat these situations a bit differently from how a company would normally treat other in-demand goods. In basic economics courses,
you learn that the higher a product’s demand, the higher its price. In the case of internship, higher demand can typically lead to a lower wage for workers. On principle, this goes against the American dream ideal that our country rests upon. Part of this American dream has always been that if you work hard, you will get paid for your efforts with prosperity sure to follow. In most cases, this system functions as an exchange of monetary compensation from an employer for effort and hours from employees. The rise of unpaid internships shows a shift from this system to a labor economy in which experience is the currency of choice. Many people view this new system as a reality of the modern world. Those who decide to make this trade-off think it’s worth it in the long run and accept that it may just be part of a new American dream. In many ways, these systems are similar as almost anyone is able to be hired as long as they possess the desired traits and qualifications needed for the given job. The main difference does not lie with the ability to become employed, though. Instead, it lies with the fact that many people cannot realistically accept an internship that provides them with no living wage. This does not affect those of us lucky enough to have financially stable parents who can pay for transportation costs and other living expenses incurred during a stint as an unpaid intern. The reality is that not everyone is this fortunate. In fact, a large majority of America cannot intern for free,

Greek organizations hosting final school year charities this week BY SAHER KHAN STAFF WRITER
With summer quickly approaching, many fraternities and sororities are hosting their final philanthropy events of the academic year. Below is a selection of philanthropy events that will take place in April.
Delta Tau Delta’s “Deltona Beach” When: Thursday, April 25, 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 26, 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 27, 2 to 4 p.m. Where: Thursday’s event is at Delta Tau Delta Fraternity House, 401 E. John St., Champaign; Friday and Saturday’s events are at Frat Park Cause: American Cancer Society Delta Tau Delta, the oldest fraternity on campus, will host their annual Deltona Beach philanthropy Thursday through Saturday. The philanthropy kicks off Thursday with a watermelon-eating contest at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house. Friday’s event is a water balloon dodgeball tournament at Frat Park, said Dominic DeAngelis, member of Delta Tau Delta and sophomore in DGS. Deltona Beach ends Saturday with an event they call, “The Pit”. “We have play-pit balls and we put them in a mud pit,” said DeAngelis, one of two “Deltona Chairs.” “We have slip and slides and two sorority teams in different colors that compete to get the balls. It’s a lot of fun.” Overall, 17 sororities will be competing, and there are typically 8 to 12 girls on a team from each sorority, he said. DeAngelis said his fraternities coach the teams. “Everyone in our house participates and it’s a pretty fun event for a good cause,” DeAngelis said. “Any notoriety for the philanthropy is great, and this event does that.” For the three-day philanthropy event, the brothers decorate the fraternity house to match the event’s theme. “We decorate our kitchen and everything is very festive,” DeAngelis said. “(It) looks beachy and Hawaiian, and is just to get people into the spirit of the event.” The annual event usually occurs during the fall semester, but was moved to the spring due to inclement weather and time conflicts with their other philanthropy events. All proceeds will go toward the American Cancer Society.
Alpha Xi Delta’s “Football FrendXI” When: Thursday, April 25, 3:30 to 5 p.m. Where: Frat Park Cause: Autism Speaks Alpha Xi Delta will have a flag football tournament at Frat Park on Thursday for their philanthropy, “Autism Speaks.” Fourteen fraternity teams and a team of Joe’s Brewery staff members registered for the event, said Angela Rodriguez, internal philanthropy chair for Alpha Xi Delta and sophomore in AHS. In previous years, the sisters would host a scavenger hunt, but wanted to try something new this year. Thursday will be their first time hosting a flag football tournament. Registration fees for each team were $100, which will all go toward the organization Autism Speaks. “Just awareness about the cause is why we do these things,” Rodriguez said. “If someone doesn’t want to play football, they come out anyway because they want to help out the cause.”
Alpha Delta Pi & Alpha Sigma Phi’s “Rollin’ in the Rough Capture the Flag Tournament” When: Saturday, April 27, Noon to 4 p.m. Where: Frat Park Cause: Ronald McDonald House Charities and the Livestrong Foundation The Alpha Delta Pi sorority and Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity are co-hosting a Capture the Flag tournament at Frat Park on Saturday. Kirstin Gidzinski, philanthropy chair for Alpha Delta Pi and junior in FAA, said that this will be the first time their sorority has collaborated with Alpha Sigma Phi for the event. “It is designed with teams of eight people that fraternities and sororities can both sign up for,” Gidzinski said. Gidzinski said that events like Capture the Flag bring out more people, and are a better examples of community involvement than just a dinner. “Active events allow you to pair up with a fraternity and better spread the name of the foundation you’re raising money for,” Gidzinski said. “Come out to the event because it’s a fun way to spend your Saturday while also helping out a good cause.” Gidzinski said a barbecue dinner will also be held April
Other events that will take place for the rest of the month are listed as follows: Alpha Chi Omega’s “Mac N’ Cheese Dinner” When: Wednesday, April 24, 4:30 to 7 p.m. Where: Alpha Chi Omega Sorority House, 904 S. Lincoln Ave., Urbana Cause: The Center for Women in Transition Alpha Epsilon Phi’s “Phighting with the Phis” Dinner When: Saturday, April 27, 5 to 8 p.m. Where: Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority House, 904 S. Third St., Champaign Cause: Elizabeth Glazier Pediatric AIDS Foundation Zeta Beta Tau Silver Mine Subs Fundraiser When: All day, Saturday, April 27 Where: Silver Mine Subs, 612 East Daniel St., Champaign Zeta Beta Tau Powder Puff Football Tournament When: Sunday, April 28 Where: Frat Park Cause: Children’s Hospital Boston

Walking down Green Street, students may notice a new type of QR code placed in the window of several campus businesses. The QR code, surrounded by a black circle and with a blue K placed in its center, deems the business “Kruue approved.” The Red Lion hosted the application’s release party April 3 after University students promoted it through social media. The Kruue application, which is free to download, is compatible with both iPhones and Androids. Once a student creates a personal profile, he or she is able to scan “Kruue Codes,” and could win discounts or special offers at various businesses. “Kruue-approved businesses” at the University are The Red Lion, The Clybourne, Mia Za’s Cafe, The Beach-Sun & Spa, Wingin Out, Fat Sandwich Co., Rob Sickler Salon & Spa, Firehaus Restaurant and Bar, and The Canopy Club. Zach Samson, founder and CEO of Kruue, decided to create the application in the hope that college students would be aware of popular businesses in their area and said he wanted to create a type of endorsement for these businesses. He was determined to make the organization completely student-run and set out to recruit “the most influential students” on campus to serve as ambassadors to
the company and get the word out about the new app. More than 80 students, including seven division leaders who focus on specific topics such as marketing, recruitment, media and philanthropy, now serve as Kruue members at the University, said Krista Paplaczyk, Kruue team member and junior in LAS. Last month, the members collectively voted on what they thought were the most popular businesses on campus and made them “Kruue approved.” Paplaczyk is the operations manager for the University of Illinois’ chapter. Her job entails being the overseer for all of the divisions, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly with the application. If anything needs to be done, she said, she is the one other members contact. The benefits of Kruue made it easy to recruit new campus team members, she said. However, they were looking for a broad range of “influential” students when choosing who to invite to be a part of the Kruue team. “We didn’t look for the most popular or the smartest kids necessarily. We wanted the trendsetters, the students who work hard and are leaders for the rest of the U of I community,” Paplacyzk said. Tara Hill, sophomore in ACES, is also a Kruue team member at the University and is satisfied with her decision to join the team. She

Landscape architects create sustainable beauty BY REEMA ABI-AKAR
: STAFF WRITER
hen Julianne Reynolds was in high school, she drew elaborate doodles in physics and played with her calculator during art class. “I knew I needed (a major) that was both artistic and logical,” said Reynolds, junior in FAA. “I had always loved architecture. I fell in love with Frank Lloyd Wright around second grade.” After coming to the University, Reynolds began taking architecture classes. What really interested her though, was landscape architecture, which marries the concepts of ecology, sustainability and design. It underscores the synchronism between humans and the natural world. “We apply theoretical and technical thought processes to the built environment,” said Carol Emmerling, assistant head of the department of landscape architecture. “(As a landscape architect) you are also creating something that is either beautiful or engaging and what people would call sustainable —
a minimal impact on air, water quality, erosion, things like that.” The University’s landscape architecture department, founded in 1907, is one of the oldest in the country. The major offers bachelor’s, master’s and Ph.D. programs. There are also two minors: landscape studies for undergraduates and heritage studies for graduate students. “Lectures, seminars and studios span a wide range of topics, including digital drawing, technology, engineering, ecology, cultural heritage, health, history and design,” said Stephen Sears, assistant professor of landscape architecture. There are about 80 undergraduate students, about 40 master’s students and eight Ph.D. students in the landscape architecture department. “The primary focus in coursework is on the design studio,” Emmerling said. “Our students design everything from a small courtyard garden ... all the way up to thinking about environmental planning for an entire watershed.” Landscape architecture is one of the University’s smaller majors, so LA majors have their own little niche in such a large body of students.

“The (department) is really small, which is really nice because everyone knows you. For something that’s so design-centered, it’s nice to have a chance for feedback at least three times a week in your studio,” Reynolds said. “So all your professors know you — they know your style.” After graduating with a BLA or an MLA, landscape architecture specialists can choose to apply to the Landscape Architecture Licensure Examination. This is an extensive assessment of several components of the field. Licensed LA students have a much wider scope of job opportunities than nonlicensed individuals. “The landscape architecture program at U of I is a four-year, accredited program. Usually, (different schools’ LA programs) are five-year accredited,” Emmerling said. “So it means that after you graduate ... you can become certified, versus if it’s not accredited, you have to have your master’s before becoming certified.” After graduation, landscape architects can hold a variety of jobs, depending on their specialization and their interests.

OF THE WEEK More online: For a
Fred Hartville
»
The walk-on freshman capped a season in which he stuck nearly half of his 13 vault attempts with a performance that earned him the title of NCAA champion. BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Student-athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.
T
en seconds was all it took for Fred Hartville to put his name in the Illinois men’s gymnastics team record book forever. Hartville entered the NCAA Championships a Big Ten vault champion, and left a national champion. The Illini were struggling as a team during the competition, but that didn’t change Hartville’s level of performance. As the anchor for Illinois on the vault, Hartville recorded a 15.1 during the Session I Qualifier and a

15.3 during the team finals. His score placed him second in the competition and earned him a spot in event finals. Though this was the biggest competition of the season, Hartville wasn’t nervous. “I think since I’ve done event finals before in a similar type of situation, I wasn’t as nervous as I was at Big Tens,” he said. “Big Tens gave me a little more confidence being able to just go out and execute my vault the way I know I can, and the way I have been all season.” Out of the 13 vaults Hart-
ville has performed this season, he has stuck six. Considering the level of difficulty for Hartville’s vault, that near-50 percent sticking rate is almost unheard of. “I have to do a round-off entry onto the board and then the back handspring onto the table, which is hard enough in itself,” Hartville said. “Then, I have to try and count two and a half twists with a blind landing. I don’t see the ground at all. Without being able to see the ground, you have no awareness of where you are, but I’m really good at knowing where
I’m at in the air.” Hartville was one of four Illini who qualified for event finals Sunday. After two rigorous days of competition, he had one last performance of the season — his most important. Before heading to the end of the vault runway, Hartville turned to Illinois head coach Justin Spring for words of advice. “I told him: ‘Business as usual,’” Spring said. “That is how he has performed on the event. He has been killing it all year

Many Illini athletes deserve recognition after great week JOHNATHAN HETTINGER Illini columnist
S
unday night, the Daily Illini sports staff sat around the table in our third-floor conference room. The beat writers rattled off the best performances in each of their respective sports, and I was stunned. In my two years at the University, I don’t remember this many athletes having a week this good. The craziest part was that all of the athletes — with the exception of a couple of baseball players — were in Olympic sports. After the staff voted, men’s gymnast Fred Hartville was elected Illini of the Week. Hartville’s ascension from walk-on to NCAA Champion on the vault as a freshman is ridiculous-
ly impressive, and he absolutely deserved to win. I thought the rest of the candidates deserved at least some sort of shoutout, so I decided to dedicate this column to them. Paralympian and current Illinois student Tatyana McFadden arguably had the most impressive performance of last week. McFadden won the Boston Marathon wheelchair division on Monday before the tragic explosion that rocked the city. She continued unafraid and followed up the victory in Boston with a win at the London Marathon on Sunday. Most people don’t win a marathon in their lifetimes; McFadden won two in six days. Hartville wasn’t the only gymnast deserving of recognition. Alina Weinstein ended her Illini career by finishing 12th in the nation in the floor routine and receiving

Illini softball sweeps Hawkeyes in 2 games thanks to 21 hits, 14 runs BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER
Illinois softball is at its best. The Illini entered Iowa City looking for another pair of victories over a Big Ten opponent, and came away with a sweep — their second in a row. Illinois’ offense flustered the Hawkeyes’ pitching in an 8-5 victory in Game One and continued its dominance by taking Game Two 6-3. Shelese Arnold got the start in the first game, coming off an outstanding weekend in which she pitched two shutouts and earned Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors.
The sophomore had trouble early on, hitting the first batter of the game and giving up a two-run home run. But Iowa was in for a merciless surprise in the top of the second. Illinois scored eight runs and buried the Hawkeyes before the inning came to an end. Right fielder Kylie Johnson had five hits and three RBIs in the two games but said she was simply doing her job offensively. Arnold shut down Iowa’s offense for three more scoreless innings before being pulled in the middle of the fifth. Senior Pepper Gay entered the circle
and finished the game, allowing just two hits in 2 2/3 innings pitched and one earned run in the bottom of the seventh on a wild pitch. Arnold’s third straight win was not her best performance, but a rarely explosive Illini offense was able to ensure the team its fourth straight victory — its longest winning streak of the season. “In that first inning, they were just getting the bat on the ball,” Arnold said, praising her coach for a wise pitching change when she began to struggle. Sullivan continued with Gay in Game Two, and Illinois gave her a comfortable lead in the top of the third. An Alex Booker RBI infield single scored
two runs as Johnson and Jade Smith scored to make the game 2-0 before Perkins’ RBI double to rightcenter field allowed Booker to score all the way from first base, making it a 3-0 Illini lead. Iowa returned fire in the bottom half of the inning, cutting Illinois’ lead to 3-2. Gay threw seven walks in Game Two, which gave her trouble in the bottom of the fourth when she walked the bases loaded with two outs; however, the Hawkeyes came away with nothing after Massey flew out to left field.

It’s time to get out and be active, but the weather isn’t cooperating JACK CASSIDY Sports columnist
S
chool is reaching that point of the semester where every class sneaks in one last, crucial assignment/test before finals week, so everyone is busy and everyone is
miserable, and everyone cherishes those rare, stress-free moments by blowing off steam outside with a smile and a few laughs. Those much-deserved breaks make everything all right. Except in 2013, because it’s cold and it’s raining and it’s never going to stop. I want to golf. I spend more time than I’d like staring at my computer
screen, typing some essay or reading some paper. School requires a certain time commitment, and I’ve agreed to that, so this is no problem. The problem is the various emails I get while trying to concentrate on the work in front of me, namely emails from the University of Illinois Orange and Blue Golf Course. “Come enjoy the links!” they say. “Wind down from classes with
a refreshing round of 18 holes,” they plead. Sounds like a good plan to me, so I smile and think it’s about time I took a break. Then I look out the window, see the rain and the cold, and I cry and think it’s about time to move down south. I want to see the Quad with some energy. I visited the University of Illinois in high school on a beautiful day with the Quad
jam-packed with Frisbees, footballs and laughter, and immediately my college decision was made. The Midwest doesn’t get much better than this campus on a warm, sunny day. I knew the arrangement when I came to this school, and I agreed to it — six warm weeks at the beginning of school and six warm weeks at the end. Cold winters dominate the school year, but the warm 12 weeks
make it worthwhile. But now, as a soon-to-be-graduating senior, this place is refusing to hold up its end of the bargain, and I’m being robbed of my six weeks. I’ll be lucky to get two. I want to play outside. I want to play wiffle ball and two-hand touch. I want to play catch until my shoulder hurts and outdoor basketball until

first-team All-American honors. The senior helped Illinois to its highest NCAA semifinals score ever and 11th-place overall finish. The 4x400 relay on the men’s track ran the fifth-fastest time (3:04.58) in the nation this year on Saturday. The relay defeated two top-five relay teams from LSU and Texas A&M with a last-second lean at the finish line. The relay was able to record the time after each member ran their personal fastest 400. It’s impressive for a pitcher to throw a two-hit shutout against any opponent. It’s even more impressive for a pitcher to throw back-to-back two-hit shutouts. It’s unheard of for a pitcher on a squad 2-11 Big Ten record to throw back-toback two-hit shutouts against another Big Ten team, but that’s exactly what sophomore Shelese Arnold did for the softball team this weekend. In baseball, senior pitcher Kevin Johnson set the school record for innings pitched as an Illini. He not only broke the record, but did so by carrying a no-hitter into the sixth inning and picking up a league-leading sixth conference win for the Illini. The always-impressive Justin Parr increased his hitting streak to 24 games over the weekend. While his five hits and four RBIs in three games were impressive, it wasn’t the best we’ve seen from Parr, given he hit for the cycle on April 14. Had a Tuesday game against Eastern Illinois not been rained out, Parr would have almost definitely tied the school record with a 25-game hitting streak. Men’s golfer Thomas Pieters finished fourth in a field of 90 golfers at the Boilermaker Invitational, as the men’s golf team finished third. Although this isn’t the best finish for the defending national champion, he was able to recover from a 5-over-par finish at the Augusta State Invitational and get on track before the Big Ten Championships this weekend.

Baseball canceled due to weather BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER
Center fielder Justin Parr will have his pursuit of the school record for hitting streak delayed, at least until this weekend. Freshman pitcher J.D. Neilsen will have to wait to make his first career collegiate start, and Illinois will have to wait until next season to avenge an 8-4 loss suffered to Eastern on April 9. Tuesday’s Illini baseball game against the Panthers was canceled due to inclement weather. The game was scheduled to be played at Peterson Park in Mattoon, Ill. but will not be rescheduled. This marks the third time the Illini have canceled a game due to weather conditions this season, matching last season’s count of canceled games. Even though Illinois had a combined six cancellations and postponements in 2011, the weather has been particularly unkind to this year’s team, which has played in 30- or 40-degree temperatures in most of its games, including a game against Tennessee Tech in February in which Illinois dealt with snow delays. Thus is the unpredictable nature of baseball in the Midwest.

SOFTBALL FROM PAGE 1B Illinois added three runs in the sixth when junior Sami Estill scored from first on Davis’ double to right-center field. Davis then scored on freshman Allie Bauch’s single. Bauch scored on a Johnson triple to push the Illini further ahead 6-2. Gay held off the Hawkeyes despite allowing a seventh-inning home run and closed out her 15th complete game of the season for her eighth win. Sullivan is proud of how the team played together and said its eagerness to compete is what
mination crossed his face, just before a deep breath. Hartville bolted down the runway and a few seconds later found his feet glued to the blue mat behind the vault. “I knew once I stuck it, and I could see my coaches in the background cheering,” Hartville said. “My coaches were coming right behind me before I even saluted the judges. That right there put the cherry on top of the cake for me at the end.” Earning a 15.425 — his second-highest score this season — Hartville moved into the top spot with only three competi-
tors left. Alec Robin from Oklahoma, who performs a similar vault, came close to Hartville’s score, posting a 15.325. Robin ended the competition second in the vault finals. Hartville was the only Illini to bring home a national title. He was also the first Illinois gymnast ever to win the national vault title as a freshman. Hartville is the second Illini freshman to capture an NCAA event title in the past two years — last year C.J. Maestas won the national rings title. Former Illini Paul Ruggeri had the same progression of events last season,
first winning the Big Ten vault champion title, and then earning the title of national vault champion shortly after. Both of their vaults share the same modern entry. “They are both round-off entry style,” Spring said. “You don’t just hit the board, you do a round-off onto the board and then vault onto the horse from that. Other than that they are both different vaults.” Though Hartville has had a lot of success early in his career, he doesn’t plan to stop setting goals for himself. He still wants to
remain competitive on the vault and hopes to become a big contributor for Illinois on the floor exercise next season. “I have to top this,” Hartville said. “The vault I’m doing now is extremely hard, but the vault I’m planning to do next year is even harder. My competition want the same things as I do, and they are going to come at me even harder now, so I have to make sure I can maintain what I’m doing and push the envelope even further.”
gave the Illini the extra boost on all ends of the field. “These are two big team road wins,” Sullivan said. “We had multiple people contribute offensively, and we’re starting to be able to put some pressure on our opponents.” Illinois’ sweep increased the team’s winning streak to five games and pushes the Illini past Iowa in the conference standings, up to ninth place. “We really came out to play,” Johnson said. “We’re ready to keep this streak going.”

as one of life’s great pleasures. Not this year. Not yet. The warm evenings on the bleachers have been replaced with room temperature laziness on a couch because it’s 40 degrees and raining outside, and who wants to sit through that? I want a spring. I can already foresee the seasonal transitions, and it bypasses spring completely, jumping right from winter into summer. I’m not irritated out of surprise. Like many on campus, I’ve been an Illinois resident my entire life, so these frustrations pop up from time to time. They’re nothing new. What
is new, however, is my status as an almost graduate. I don’t have much time left to enjoy this campus as a student, and my last memories shouldn’t be soaked in cold rain. I’m not complaining because I hate Illinois. I’m complaining because I love Illinois, and I want to enjoy it at it’s warm, sunny best. Judging by the smiles and laughter on those days, every student does. So what do you say, UrbanaChampaign? How about you and I go golfing soon?

Bulls will try again to slow Williams at home BY BRIAN MAHONEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — There were two versions of Deron Williams this season, and the Chicago Bulls know they need to be playing the first one. Slumping before the All-Star break and surging after, Williams turned the Brooklyn Nets into a powerful offense down the stretch with precision play that continued right through Game 1 of the playoffs. The Bulls probably can’t beat the Nets four times if the twotime Olympic point guard is rolling. But when they defend the way they did in Game 2, making him look like the guy who battled leg pain into February, they love their chances. So when the series shifts to Chicago for Game 3 on Thursday, all eyes will be on Williams, who will have not only the ball but the entire complexion of the series in his hands. The Bulls will make him the focus of their defense. Just don’t ask coach Tom Thibodeau to tell you what they will do. “The thing is, he’s such a smart player,” Thibodeau said. “I don’t think you can give him a steady diet of anything, so try to give him some different looks.” Williams scored 22 points in the series opener, a 106-89 Brooklyn romp. He was limited to eight points, missing eight of his nine shots, as Chicago bounced back with a 90-82 victory in Game 2. Having taken the home-court
advantage, the Bulls will try again to take away Williams. “The Nets are tough,” Thibodeau said. “They’re a very well-balanced team, they play extremely hard, they play together, they have everything. They can break you down off the dribble, they can hurt you in the post, they rebound the ball, so we’ve got our work cut out for us.” The job becomes much easier when they knock Williams off his game. The Bulls couldn’t do it in Game 1, when he also had seven assists and was just off the 22.9 points he averaged in 28 games after the All-Star break. Slowed by pain in both ankles that he had treated the week before the break, Williams managed just 16.7 points per game in his first 50 disappointing games after agreeing to a five-year extension worth about $98 million in July. The Nets need Williams to get them playing at a much faster pace than the one Chicago prefers and got in Game 2 if they want to win at United Center and regain home-court advantage. “It’s going to be tough. I don’t think it’s going to be easy, but I think we can do it,” Williams said. Williams wasn’t the Nets’ only problem in Game 2. Joe Johnson shot only 6 of 18 and Gerald Wallace followed his 14-point opener by reverting to the player who struggled throughout the season, finishing with two points and three rebounds while shooting 1 of 7 and being badly outplayed
by Luol Deng. “Obviously, we need more, a lot more offense from a number of more people than we got tonight,” Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo said after the game. But it all starts with Williams, and the Bulls know it. They wouldn’t let him drive all the way to the rim, making him give the ball up to teammates and living with it when the strategy backfired, such as when Brook Lopez hit a flurry of jumpers from about the same spot on the pick-and-roll in the second quarter. And when the Bulls forced Williams to shoot from the perimeter he couldn’t make them, missing all five from 3-point range, where he set an NBA record with nine in the first half of one game this season. “We were more aggressive with him,” Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich said. “He’s such a great player and so multifaceted. He can score (off) pick-and-rolls. He’s one of the best point guards in the league. His size and strength. Even when he is not scoring, he does a good job of finding their guys.” Hinrich, who gives away about 20 pounds to Williams, was the primary defender and also scored 13 points, two days after banging his hip while getting picked. “He’s a warrior,” center Joakim Noah said. “I’m just so happy that he’s back on this team because to me he really represents what Chicago Bull basketball is all about, especially right now.”

White Sox and Cleveland Indians game rained out THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
REX ARBOGAS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chicago White Sox’s bullpen coach Bobby Thigpen, left, and relief pitcher Addison Reed walk in and around the standing water in the dugout before a postponed baseball game that was called due to rain between the White Sox and the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday in Chicago.
CHICAGO — April’s continuing miserable weather claimed yet another Chicago baseball game Tuesday night. The White Sox’s scheduled home contest with the Cleveland Indians was the second postponement of a current eight-game home stand due to inclement weather. It’s also the fourth in Chicago since the baseball season opened three weeks ago. Two Chicago Cubs home games have also been rescheduled due to rain or cold conditions. The game was called three hours and 35 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. Tuesday’s scheduled starters, Zach McAllister for Cleveland and Jose Quintana for Chicago, will be pushed back to pitch in Wednesday afternoon’s series finale. Tuesday’s game has not been rescheduled, although the Indians return to Chicago in late June with open dates before and following that three-game series. Wednesday’s forecast calls for cool but clearing conditions for the 1:10 p.m. start. The unscheduled day off may be a blessing in disguise for the White Sox, who have dropped four straight, 10 of their last 13 and are hitting .204 (66-of-
323) over the last 10 games. “For us, it’s one of those you’re beating yourself right now,” Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. “You’re giving yourself a lot of opportunities and playing just sloppy. That’s where guys get frustrated. We all get frustrated. When that gets cleaned up, you’re in games and when that feeling turns you’re going to win games, that’s a big boost of momentum once you get it.” The weather may also be a factor, but the White Sox have grown accustomed to poor conditions. “It’s rougher than most places (but) you just get used to it,” Ventura said. “It’s one of those you’re not always sure about getting rained out and things like that. But you’re pretty sure you’re going to play in cold weather and wind and all that stuff.” White Sox catcher Hector Gimenez, who was hit by a pitch in the shin and left in the seventh inning of Mondays’ 3-2 loss to the Indians, told Ventura he was feeling better the next day. “He said he looks fine,” Ventura said. “That’s one of those that hurts at the time. He was going to get run for anyway. He wanted to stay in, but he’s going to be fine.”

Nick Swisher excited about how Indians are jelling Cleveland looks to extend 3-game winning streak are going to kind of do their own thing. “The great chemistry and the bonding that we have done through spring and even with the ‘Harlem Shake,’ as cheesy as that was, it was just a team-building exercise. Now we’re all trying to get to the point where we’re all trying to gain loyalty together and trust.” Swisher is already a big fan of his new manager, Terry Francona. He was happy to hear that Francona will use him as a designated hitter to get him some added rest. “I have never had that ever in my life. To have a manager really looking out for you like that just makes coming to the ballpark awesome every single day. And not only that: It makes you want to run through a brick wall every time you get the opportunity because you got a guy like that backing you,” said Swisher. “It’s my 10th year in the league, so I am happy. It took me 10 years to get this, so now that I do have it, I guess I can appreciate it that much more. I’ll take that,” said Swisher, who is hit-

ting .288 with two home runs and a .405 on base percentage. The outfielder is in the first season of a four-year, $56 million dollar contract. “I knew a lot of things going on behind the scenes during the free agency process and everything that was told to me has happened. It makes you really want to believe in a front office because what they tell you is exactly what they’re doing,” said Swisher. The Indians expect to get some added depth at catcher soon. Lou Marson joined the team Tuesday. Francona did not say if he would be activated from the disabled list before the game. He was out with a strained neck. He hit .226 last season in 70 games. Tuesday’s game was the third postponement for the Indians, and Swisher doesn’t expect any wear and tear when the doubleheaders add up. “No. We get paid to play this game. This is what we all love to do here. Hey, a doubleheader at the ballpark, what’s better than that?”

CHICAGO — Three weeks into the season and Indians outfielder Nick Swisher can’t contain his excitement over his new team. The veteran will have to wait another day to help Cleveland try to extend its three-game winning streak after rain postponed Tuesday night’s game against the Chicago White Sox. The game was called three hours and 35 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. Starters Zach McAllister of Cleveland and Jose Quintana will be pushed back to pitch Wednesday afternoon. Swisher, who signed with Cleveland in the offseason after four seasons with the New York Yankees, is excited about how the Indians are jelling. “It’s just a great group of guys around here. It’s a good core of new guys that we have. And we are bringing over 15 new faces, obviously, you’re going to go one way or the other. One way meaning everyone is going to latch on together and take off, or guys
