Two UI students injured in Missouri fall By DI STAFF Two University of Iowa students were taken to a Missouri hospital after falling from a balcony during the UI fraternity Delta Chi’s spring formal. Deputy Trenton Teubner of the

Camden County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call at the Shady Gators, a rental place in the Lake of the Ozarks where Delta Chi held its formal, late on April 22. Two students, identified by attendees as Hannah Van Soelen and Mackenzie Wollenzien, fell from a

two-story balcony. Their current conditions are unclear. When authorities arrived at the scene, they reported that roughly 40 to 50 people were “real scared” and “upset” with each other. Soelen and Wollenzian were cared for at the scene before being transported

to Lake Regional Hospital. “UI officials are working to learn more about the incident in order to assist the students and their families,” UI spokeswoman Jeneane Beck wrote in an email Sunday night. Members from the UI Delta Chi declined to comment, as did the UI

Interfraternity Council. The UI isn’t the first university to have students suffer after falling from balconies. A 20-year-old man died after falling six stories off a balcony at the University of Florida in February. In June 2015, a balcony collapse killed six students in Berkeley.

o boldly go where no library has gone before. Today is the opening day of the University of Iowa Libraries Special Collections’ new exhibit celebrating the 50-year anniversary of the original “Star Trek” Series, which débuted in 1966. The exhibit contains mainly artifacts from “Star Trek: The Original series,” as well as Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. The items on display, however, don’t even begin to scratch the surface SEE STAR TREK, 3

Coming soon, Hancher UI to get the DREAM By JUSTUS FLAIR justus-flair@uiowa.edu

Eight years in the making, Hancher’s first season in its new auditorium is packed with big names, both people and shows. Steve Martin and Martin Short, Yo-Yo Ma, The Book of Mormon, and the Joffrey Ballet will all break in the new stage during Hancher’s début season. The first performers on the new stage will be Steve Martin and Martin Short on Sept. 24 in “An Evening You’ll Forget for the Rest of Your Life.” Before that, though, Hancher will reach out to engage the community. On Sept. 9 and 11, Hancher will allow the public to see the much-anticipated

The band played on the original Hancher stage during its first season in 1972. In Octo- Martin ber, Iowa actor City will welcome its first touring Broadway show since Hancher was forced to close its doors in 2008. The Book of Mormon will give eight shows Oct. 11-16. Broadway favorites The Sound of Music and Mamma Mia will also stop by, in January

and February, respectively. Non-musical theater enthusiasts, fear not; Hancher will also host a variety of classical music performance, dance pieces, contemporary works, lectures, and even a film screening. One dance performance, Tesseracts of Time, included input from architect Steven Holl, who designed Art Building West and the Visual Arts Building for the University of Iowa. Hancher will finally be able to participate in Iowa City’s own Mission Creek Festival in April 2017, too, now that it has a venue to offer. Tickets will be available for public purchase on June 10.

The first college chapter of an organization focused specifically on immigrant rights and advocacy, including the equalization of tuition between documented and undocumented students, could appear on campus next fall. Around 10 University of Iowa students are in the process of forming a chapter of DREAM: Iowa, a state political advocacy group that aims to organize individuals who meet the general requirements of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act. The DREAM Act is a

According to DREAM: Iowa documents, the state is home to an estimated 37,000 undocumented immigrants. UI sophomore Fidel Estrada, one of the leaders of the group, said he was inspired to start a chapter of DREAM: Iowa on campus after seeing one of the sister groups give a presentation last fall that advocated for immigrant rights. As a first-generation American himself, Estrada said, he was moved by the cause. “I really felt the need to do something about this on campus,” he said.

DI Publisher Casey to retire By DI STAFF William Casey, the longtime publisher of The Daily Iowan, will retire after the 201617 academic year, more than 40 years after he started delivering the paper in 1972. Casey began his career at the DI in 1972 as a truck driver and then worked as the circulation manager. He started as the publisher in 1976, a post he has held since then. “It’s almost unreal to think of Bill retiring,” current Editor-in-Chief Sta-

cey Murray said. “Most people have never know the DI without Bill Casey.” The DI, in his tenure, has been repeatedly recognized as one of the top college newspapers in the country, win- Casey ning six publisher Pa c e m a k er awards and operating on one of the largest budgets in the country. The DI, led by Casey, has launched thousands of

young journalists into careers at places such as the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, CNN, ESPN, and the White House, along with countless others, throughout many eras of journalism. Among his accomplishments include a scholarship program, begun in 1987, which provides up to four high-school seniors with scholarships, which they receive annually through their time at the DI as they work in various capacities in the newsroom. He also started Daily Iowan TV, which celebrat-

ed its 10-year anniversary this year. Casey has accumulated many awards for his work as publisher, including the Iowa Newspaper Association’s Distinguished Service Award in 2003 and the “Master Publisher” award in 2005. He was elected to the UI School of Journalism and Mass Communication’s Hall of Fame in 2013. Earlier this year, the Iowa Center for Public Affairs Journalism-IowaWatch honored him with its first-ever IowaWatch Master Mentors award.

Lettuce takes the cake

By KATELYN WEISBROD katelyn-weisbrod@uiowa.edu

A team overseeing the growth of soil-free lettuce now has $1,000 to reinvest in its project. The first University of Iowa Frontier-Tippie Sustainability Impact Competition brought together locally grown lettuce, an educational video, and data on sales of sustainable foods. The creators of these three projects presented their findings April 23 at the Pappajohn Business Building. A panel of three judges selected the group that grew local lettuce as the winner. The five-member team grew 80 heads of lettuce without soil using a hydroponic system. The group, comprising students studying engineering, political science, and business, received a $1,000 prize, which group member Grant Gregory said would be reinvested into the system. UI Housing & Dining purchased the 80 heads of lettuce at $1 each to serve in Burge Marketplace. “We wanted to provide hyper-local food to the university, right now only 14 percent of the university’s food is locally sourced,” Gregory said. Operations of the system will be handed off to UI gardeners, and the locally grown lettuce will either continue to be sold to UI Housing & Dining or will be donated to the UI Food Pantry

Grant Gregory talks to his team and mother before winning the first Frontier-Tippie Sustainability Impact Competition on April 23 in the Pappajohn Business Building. Gregory’s team is one of three that competed, and it focused on using a hydroponic system to grow lettuce without soil. (The Daily Iowan/Mary Mathis) or the Johnson County Crisis Center. The system will continue to operate where it already is — the greenhouse in the Biology Building, until the space is needed for something else. In the meantime, group member Andrew Hirst said, the system would be moved outdoors to a rooftop where it can operate with little upkeep required. In the presentation on April 23, group member Jake Krischel outlined the costs of the system. The group went $110 over its $500 budget. Part of the competition’s criteria involved creating an economically viable project.

Krischel said that on this scale, the system is not profitable when they considered things like energy costs. However, Hirst said, since they grew the lettuce in the UI greenhouse, they did not actually have to pay for the electricity they used. Sarah Gardial, the dean of the Tippie College of Business, served as one of the judges for the competition. The judges had time to discuss the projects with the groups, and Gardial said calculating the true cost of a local hydroponic system against producing non-local is tough to do. “There’s a lot of costs to consider, there’s en-

ergy and transport, there’s carbon emissions, there’s additional packaging when you’re taking things thousands of miles versus across the street,” she said. “It’s hard to really fully capture that true cost.” This was the first annual sustainability competition in the business school, and Gardial said this year was a great start to a new tradition. “We have a good foundation and now we’ve just to grow the awareness,” she said. “The more we can shine a light on this, the more we can get students from all across the campus engaged in this in the future.”

CLARIFICATION In the April 22 story, “Regents probe prayer rooms,” the DI referred to the prayer space as the “Muslim prayer space.” The space was created after petitioning from a UI student organization for Muslims but can be used by anyone.

STAR TREK CONTINUED FROM FRONT of the UI’s extensive Star Trek Collection, said Greg Prickman, the head of UI Special Collections. “We have such a deep collections of Star Trek material,” Prickman said. “A lot of it is fan collections, stuff like fan fiction and fanzines; the anniversary was the perfect reason

DREAM CONTINUED FROM FRONT become an official student organization next fall, and Estrada has been promoting DREAM: Iowa through social media and speaking about it in classes. The group seeks to have the state Board of Regents consider changing its policy toward undocumented students. “It would push for tuition equity here on campus,” Estrada said. “Those who are undocumented and on [the Alien Minors Act] aren’t eligible to have in-state tuition.” UI sophomore Ivania Guerra, a Alien Minors Act recipient, said the group would also provide

for us to have this exhibit to show some of what we have.” The effect fans had on the original series is the focus of the material on display, UI specialist librarian Colleen Theisen said. “Star Trek changed everything in fandom,” said Theisen, who said she grew up watching “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” “This is the perfect opportunity to display all the different fan-made material

we have in the collections.” Along with props, there will be artifacts from the original series, and the movie Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan, which was written in part by an Iowa graduate, said Bill Voss, who works in the UI Libraries Conservation Lab. “There will be a pair of Spock’s ears which I believe were worn by Leonard Nimoy,” Voss said. “There will also be an original script for

Star Trek 2, which was written by Nick Meyer, who went to Iowa.” In fact, a large part of the UI’s Star Trek collection can be attributed to Meyer, Prickman said. “Nicholas Meyer has donated a lot to the university,” Prickman said. “We’re one of the leading centers for research on science fiction in the country because of the amount of material in Special Collections we have available

for research.” On May 20, Meyer (also a DI alum) will be on campus to talk about his continued involvement with the Star Trek franchise, Prickman said. Riverside, Iowa, is known to Trekkies as the future birthplace of Enterprise Capt. James Tiberius Kirk, and it is also the home of Trek Fest every summer. This recognition was because of the fans, Prickman said. “That was all fan effort,

and now it’s become such an important part of the mythology,” he said. “That’s really what we’re trying to do with this exhibit, to show the effect the show has had on fans and vice versa.” Meyers is credited for writing the line that will forever link Star Trek and Iowa, Theisen said. “It was Nicholas Meyer that wrote that line,” she said. “ ‘No. I’m from Iowa. I only work in outer space.’ ”

support for undocumented students on campus and keep them informed on their legal rights. “DREAM: Iowa would serve as a group of allies to show support for undocumented students and [Alien Minors Act] recipients, push for advocacy, and just let them know we’re here,” Guerra said. UI junior Emiliano Martinez said the group is trying to bring awareness and education to inherently complex issues. “One of the most pressing issues of our time is going to be how immigration is interpreted in the United States,” Martinez wrote in a statement to The Daily Iowan. “Our goal is to work with the DREAM: Iowa foundation to reach out, and use our

opportunity to educate and share our position with those in our University of Iowa community.” UI doctoral student Peggy Valdés, also a first-generation American, said she feels a personal responsibility to support people brought to the U.S. at a very young age and have known no other home. “Undocumented people are so vulnerable in our society,” Valdés wrote the DI. “They are prey to bad labor practices, all kinds of exploitation, from rent gouging to having to pay more for everything, including college.” Valdés said DREAM: Iowa is important because it advocates for access to education. “Because of Iowa’s col-

lege tuition policies for undocumented students, they are forced to pay more for their education than the same people they went

to middle school and high school with,” she wrote. Valdés believes education provides opportunity, the very essence of the

American Dream. “I think that’s why it’s so appropriate that the group is called Dream Iowa,” she said.

Let’s say Trump Suppressing the will of wins the race voters just won’t stand Jace Brady jace-brady@uiowa.edu

Tuesday will play an important role in this year’s prolonged primary season. Both parties’ front-runners, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, will have the opportunity to distance themselves from lingering competitors and essentially tie up their nominations. While competitors will likely loiter in the political scene until the conventions, Tuesday will play a pivotal role in dashing any hopes of a contested convention in either party. If the day goes as predicted, candidates will then know it’s time for the critical shift to the general election. Both parties have had historically tense primaries this year, and the parties’ nominees will be forced to try to coalesce party support heading into the general election. The Republicans will be led by the pugnacious Trump, whose outrageous comments and fluid policy positions have party leaders and members alike concerned. Currently, it seems Trump has little chance of defeating Clinton in a general election; however, if he wishes to have any semblance of hope, he must shift hard toward the general electorate. During the primary season, Trump has been viewed as a populist candidate who has reached across the aisle and pulled Democrats into the Republican primary. For this reason, many supporters have purported that Trump will be competitive in deepblue states this November. The reality, however, is much more bleak. In New York, one of the states where Trump is expected to compete, the Republican primary saw 1 million fewer voters than Democratic voters. Yet, erroneous sug-

gestions that Trump could beat Clinton in New York seem even more frangible when one realizes he received fewer votes in New York than Ted Cruz did in Wisconsin, a state with under one-third of the population. With notions of Trump winning Democratic strongholds in the general election dispelled, the Donald must refocus on states with friendlier electorates. Unfortunately, the turbulent businessman’s tribulations don’t end with a refocusing on traditionally conservative states. In an ABC poll taken in March, 37 percent of GOP voters claim they will not vote for Trump in a showdown with Clinton. This means Trump not only needs to reach across the aisle but also corral his own constituency. Thus, it seems that any prospect of a Trump presidency depends on a foundational change of rhetoric, policy, and organization. He must reassert himself as a conservative candidate and not as morally ambiguous. In order to gain the confidence of the party, he must recreate himself as consistent across issues and not absurdly xenophobic one day and pro-unisex locker rooms the next. Despite his best efforts to refocus on geographically friendly areas and a makeover on policy positions, a Trump presidency seems unlikely (sigh of relief). He has spent the last several months attempting to intimidate competition, bullying protesters and threatening foreign countries, and he now expects a party to coalesce around him. His primary results do not instill confidence that he is a unifier — he has only received 38 percent on one party’s vote — and he has not yet seemed willing to become less brash moving into the general election. Every day that Trump fails to pivot toward November is one fewer day he has to persuade us all he is not as terrifying as he seems.

The whirlwind affair that is the 2016 presidential campaign has captivated the news media and much of the country. Over the course of the race, a number of themes have emerged as the dominant narratives defining this nomination cycle: voter anger, antiestablishment rhetoric, etc. But as the process to determine who will be each party’s respective nominee drags on, the notion that the two-party system can no longer fully represent the views of the American people is becoming clearer. The most obvious place to start with any assertion about the dynamics of this particular race is with oneman phenomenon Donald Trump. After claiming a decisive victory in his home state of New York last week, the businessman and long-standing frontrunner for the Republican nomination actually has a chance to secure the 1,237 delegates needed to automatically become the nominee, especially if he performs well in California, which he is currently expected to do. Given the myriad of offensive, off-color, or otherwise ill-advised remarks that Trump has made throughout the campaign season, this feat is impressive in and of itself. But that he holds many views opposed by most of the so-called GOP establishment is perhaps even more surprising. Last week on NBC’s “Today,” Trump said North Carolina’s transgender bathroom bill was “causing [the state] strife.” The bill requires people to use the bathroom of the sex listed on their birth certificate, and that has caused several businesses (such as PayPal) to withdraw from economic activity in the state. Trump said North Carolina was facing “economic punishment” for the bill and it should just “leave it the way it is … there have been very few complaints.” Trump later said he believes the decision should be made at the local and state level, but he still thought North Carolina’s law was “causing problems.”

Trump’s opponent for the nomination, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, seized on Trump’s statement, releasing an ad that insinuated “grown men pretending to be women” would be allowed to use the women’s restroom, while superimposing Trump’s words on top. The “bathroom” issue is just the latest in a string of positions that set Trump apart from the rest of the GOP pack. One is trade. Many Republican senators support free trade and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, while Trump has called it “a horrible deal.” His hard-line stance on immigration (building a wall and deporting illegal immigrants) has differed from most of his opponents. Trump promises to protect Social Security and Medicare and get tougher on Wall Street. On some of these issues, Trump shares common ground with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is now polling just a few points behind Hilary Clinton in national polls for the Democratic Party’s nomination. Both Trump and Sanders have driven large numbers of independents to the polls. They both have railed against their respective “party establishment,” in some cases characterizing it as corrupt and suppressing the will of voters. On the Republican side, many party elites hope to take the nomination away from Trump, despite his having garnered a plurality of votes. And on the Democrats’ side, some states (such as New York), have party-registration rules have prevented thousands from voting. Some have defended these rules as a way for the parties to ensure that those voting in the primaries and caucuses are actually members of the party or that the delegates have some control over who becomes their choice. But in an election that has centered on the ineptitude, malfeasance, and corruption of the so-called establishment, circumventing the will of the voters may be a dangerous prospect for the survival of the two-party system as we know it.

GUEST OPINION: VOICES OF PHILANTHROPY

Thank Phil now, be Phil later Since I became the University of Iowa president, I have been amazed by the generosity of our community. Students, faculty, staff, friends, and alumni are eager to share their time, talent, or treasure — and often all three — in order to make our beloved university the best it can be. That is what the spirit of philanthropy and this fifth-annual Phil’s Day are all about: reaching into our personal resources, whatever they may be, and sharing them generously to make what we care about better and better. I continue to discover ways that, here at Iowa, we owe much of our excellence to philanthropy (Phil). I might be stunned by an incredible space

such as the Main Library Learning Commons, and then I learn that private support was critical to creating this state-ofthe-art educational hub. I might be astonished at the leading-edge research happening in a laboratory I’m visiting, and then I am reminded that the lead professor has been hon- Harreld ored with UI president a named chair made possible by a generous donor’s philanthropy — as was much of the lab equipment. I might be talking with a student and be impressed by her intellect,

imagination, and civic spirit, and then I find out that she is attending the UI on a scholarship created by an alumna who has given back to her alma mater so other young people can benefit from the amazing educational opportunities we provide. I’ve learned that Phil is everywhere on campus, and on Phil’s Day, we set aside time to celebrate and thank those who have helped make our UI experience the best it can be through their generosity. It’s also a day to reflect on the importance of philanthropy in your own personal lives. Students, as you finish your UI studies and go on to get a job or further your education — and become an

active community member — we want you to remember how much philanthropy has played a part in shaping your success here at Iowa. We also hope that you turn that reflection into action and that you not only remember the benefits of philanthropy but also participate in the world of Phil. In my coming years as president, I hope your own philanthropy will contribute to the amazement that I continue to feel as I look at what we are able to achieve at the UI. So on Phil’s Day, let’s all stop for a moment to thank Phil. J. Bruce Harreld President University of Iowa

GUEST OPINION: VOICES OF PHILANTHROPY

Phil addresses STEM crisis

As a student in a science, technology, engineering, mathematics discipline, I sometimes find it difficult to avoid becoming jaded in the classroom. Although STEM education is key to the U.S. economic future, our nation is experiencing a crisis in STEM education because of the rising costs of undergraduate education, growing congestion in the classrooms, and rigidity in the academic system. A plethora of empirical studies suggests that the United States is losing its competitive edge in science, mathematics, and engineering, while the rest of the world soars ahead. In addition to curriculum changes such as calling for a liberal education to augment a STEM education, we need to fundamentally redefine how we teach STEM — especially in higher education, where current weaknesses in instruction are national.

Herein lies the importance of philanthropic support. I can express my scientific curiosity and my desire for an enriching education through academic research and project-based learning — and that kind of learning has b e e n Zarei made in- student creasingly available to students like me because of support from donors who “get” it. As an Iowa City native, I have seen the research community on campus become increasingly vibrant throughout the years. Philanthropic support has catalyzed cutting-edge additions, innovations, and discoveries. As an undergraduate student, I have been active in conducting research at the University of Iowa Stephen A. Wynn Institute for Vision Research.

I have been the beneficiary of philanthropically sponsored grants and funding, all of which have fostered my development into the driven scientist I am today. Most recently, my UI experience has been enhanced through my fellowship with the new Latham Science Engagement Initiative in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. Heath Ledger (as the Joker) once said, “If you’re good at something, never do it for free.” In today’s academic environment, every involved member is busy, and very few are able or willing to work without pay. For instance, while the need to communicate science in a language salient for a general audience is universally considered important, the sad reality is that without the money to back the right personnel and students, the need is not fully addressed. Fortunately for me, the UI has visionary donors

who understand the needs and are willing to help bridge the funding gap with their support. Because of them, I have been able to participate in sponsored programs and serve the university I love in truly meaningful ways through research, innovation, and science communication and engagement. We must continue working to redefine the way we teach — whether in the context of STEM, or higher education in general. Philanthropy is key in resolving the crises and equipping students with the proficiencies they need to become the next generation of adept professionals.

Softball comes up short By MARIO WILLIAMS mario-williams@uiowa.edu

After beating Penn State on April 23, the Hawkeye softball players had a chance to win their first Big Ten series on Sunday afternoon at Pearl Field. However, the Nittany Lions downed Iowa, 11-3, and the Hawks are now 13-32, 3-14 in the Big Ten. After the Hawkeyes evened the series on April 23, the team’s plan was to attack on Sunday, but Penn State seemed to be doing more of the attacking. “We wanted to attack in the circle, at the plate, and defensively,” Iowa head coach Marla Looper said. “Unfortunately, we

gave them a 2-spot that first inning. We’ve got to still come back from that, because 2 runs is not a big deal. We just needed to take advantage of opportunities we had early.” Looper believes the team that comes out strong and executes in Big Ten play will usually come on top. Penn State got things going early, sending two runners home on 3 hits in the top of the first inning. “We did need to try to shift the momentum, and we didn’t completely get it shifted in our favor,” Looper said. After two scoreless innings, Iowa finally got in the groove in the bottom of the third. Redshirt junior Sammi Gyerman gave Io-

wa its first hit of the afternoon with a strong single to left field. She went on to score on redshirt senior Holly Hoffman’s double. “Sammi and I squared up some good balls today,” Hoffman said. “They had a pretty good outfield, so we focused more on trying to hit more hard ground balls. We were trying to do what we could to chip away.” From there, Iowa was down by just a run, 2-1, but Penn State took control after the bottom of the third, sealing the series win. Penn State scored 5 runs on 3 hits in the top of the fourth. The Loins followed that up with 3 runs in the fifth and another in the sixth. “You could tell we were

trying to fight back,” Hoffman said. “We were trying to chip away, but we just never really had that big build of momentum.” Iowa did fight, but it wasn’t enough. In the fourth inning, the Hawkeyes had runners on first and second with a single and a pinch-hit. Sophomore Katy Taylor bunted to put the runners in scoring position, and Kaitlyn Mullarkey came through with a hard RBI single. Iowa had three pitching changes in the contest as well. Shayla Starkenburg started the game for the Hawkeyes, allowing 6 runs on 4 hits in three innings of work. Freshman Erin Riding and junior Eliza-

Women’s golf rebounds By RICARDO ASCENCIO ricardo-ascencio@uiowa.edu

The Hawkeye women’s golf team finished ninth in Indianapolis at the Big Ten Championships. Northwestern and Ohio State each shot 852 (minus-12) to become co-Big Ten Champions. Iowa finished the tournament at ninth place with a 54-hole total of 876. Despite ending up ninth, Iowa had a silver lining; senior Amy Ihm tied for fourth, earning her a spot on the All-Big Ten Championship team, the first of her career. As a team, Iowa did not get off to the greatest of starts, placing 10th among the 14 teams. “We got off to a good start and finished well,” Iowa head coach Megan Menzel said in a release on April 22. “We

struggled a bit mid-round, but we were pleased with the way the team finished today. We are looking forward to the challenge of climbing the leaderboard the next two days.” The Hawkeyes were led by junior Jessie Sindlinger on the first day. Sophomore Jessica Ip also had a notable performance, as she made par or better on 14 holes en route to an even-par 72. Iowa entered the second day trying to move up. Unfortunately for the Hawkeyes, they were not able to build on the previous day,and they fell to 12th. Ihm led the way for Iowa in the second round, carding an impressive bogey-free round, highlighted by all 18 holes at or below par, including birdies on Holes 6 and 7. The Hawkeyes were determined to rebound on the third day after being disap-

pointed in their first two days. Iowa was able to climb the scoreboard, walking out of the Big Ten Tournament in ninth, thanks to Ihm. Ihm’s career-low threeround total of 211 (minus-5) broke Iowa’s program record of 212 (minus-4) for individual 54-hole performance previously set by Ip at the Diane Thomason Invitational. Ihm I h m ’ s senior third day helped her to the All-Big Ten Championship team, the conference honor being Iowa first AllBig Ten selection since 1998. “As a team we are certainly leaving disappointed with our overall finish, but I am

proud of this group for moving up today,” Menzel said in a release. “What a great day for Amy, to finish the tournament with a 68 and a new Hawkeye 54-hole record. She has put together an outstanding senior campaign and we are all so happy for her.” While the Hawks may not have earned the result they had anticipated, Menzel will look to move on from the Big Ten tourney. “This year has been a team effort, and I am proud of the accomplishments this team has earned,” Menzel said in a release. “This group of players is helping to move Iowa golf in the right direction.” Fortunately for the Hawkeyes, they will have almost two weeks to hone their skills until NCAA regional on May 5-7, with the location to be determined.

The action on the men’s side also included spectacular performances on and off the track. Aaron Mallett led the charge on the track, claiming his third Musco title in the 110-meter hurdles with a season-best time of 13.50. He was ecstatic about his performance. “It’s the Musco magic,” he said. “It’s just good to get in front of the home crowd and have a lot of fun. Just to

win it three times in a row is amazing.” After the hurdle performance, Mallett ranks third nationally and leads the conference. Mallett also competed in the 200 meters, finishing third place in 21.55. Christian Brissett Winning won with a time of 21.20, holding off Drake’s Pierce Vincent at the line. Even finishing third, Mallett was happy to see his freshman teammate get his first career Musco title. “Christian is a heck of a competitor,” Mallet said. “He’s pushed me all season

long, and I’m happy to see him do well.” In the later stages of the meet, fans made sure to stick around to watch sophomore Carter Lilly compete against former Hawkeye and world medalist Erik Sowinski in the 600 meters. Sowinski held a firm lead throughout the race with Lilly making a final push in the last 100 meters. It was one of the highlights of the evening, as Sowinski claimed the title with Lilly trailing 0.33 seconds behind. “Carter is an exciting guy; he’s a guy that’s going to do some amazing things, he’s

Ike Boettger will play offensive tackle this season, assuming they stay healthy. All three had real game action at the position last season, with Boettger and Croston getting a bit more. That’s about the only thing set. Keegan Render, who had been getting a lot of the spring reps at guard, was out of the spring game with an injury, as was center Sean Welsh. Myers is currently at guard and could end up there, depending on how center pans out. James Daniels also remains out, and while it was assumed he would slide into the spot

this year, he now seems destined for guard. “The more time you spend at the position, the better you get,” Welsh said. “I think we have a great group of guys on the inside, and we’re going to be fine.” Injuries have also complicated things at outside linebacker; Ben Niemann missed all of spring football. Bo Bower has filled in for him but should remain the backup once Niemann comes back. At linebacker, Josey Jewell has the starting middle linebacker spot locked down, while Jack Hockaday and Aaron Mends are fighting for the “will” linebacker position.

“It’s a great opportunity for Aaron,” Ferentz said. “Talk about guys making progress from August, if you go back to last spring, night and day, just night and day, and same thing academically. He’s got a routine down that’s beneficial. We’re seeing the same thing in football.”

The running backs LeShun Daniels Jr. and Akrum Wadley got all of the carries with the first-team offense. Daniels rushed five times for 27 yards, and Wadley toted the ball 11 times and gained 35 yards. Wadley also tacked on a 22-yard re-

Freshman Matthew Walker, who continues to impress observers, matched Schaake and Knoll in the top 10 and finished tied for sixth. He was consistent throughout the three-day event,

The Iowa coaching staff has expressed a desire to see him get quite a few more carries this year, and it’s not hard to see why. Daniels looks the part of a huge, bruising tailback. The issue has been if he can stay

healthy. “LeShun, we have a pretty good comfort level with what he can do. Hopefully, he’ll play better than he ever has,” Ferentz said. “Akrum is making strides. He’s starting to mature a little bit physically and just in terms of his awareness. “After that, it’s a wideopen competition.”

ALL QUIET ON THE FOOTBALL FRONT

t has been a relatively quiet spring football period for the Hawkeyes. Outside of a transfer and a couple position battles, nothing of much note has changed. For a program with a long history of continuity, coming out of spring football with little fanfare fits the mold perfectly. “We’re not in a rush. We practice over the course of five weeks and get a lot of quality time on the field,” Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz said. “I took our depth chart yesterday and just considered where a lot of our players were in August as to where they are now … there’s a lot of growth and improvement. “That’s going to be critical.” There is development needed before the team takes the field against Miami (Ohio) on Sept. 3. Ferentz has some decisions to make on the interior of the offensive line and at wide receiver. They won’t be the only ones in a battle when they come back together as a team this summer.

The Hawkeyes were just 18 holes away from claiming their second-ever Big Ten title, but after starting the final round in first place, they weren’t able to hang with Illinois’ excellent final round and historic team score of 838. Ranked second in the national coaches’ poll, the Illini never looked back after taking the lead early on in the final round, finishing the day with a team score of 24-under. The victory was the second-consecutive Big Ten championship for the Illini. Iowa’s second-place finish marks the fourth-straight year the Hawkeyes have placed third or better in the event. Illinois’ final round helped lead to a new Big Ten championships team scoring record. The Illini’s team Schaake score of 838 surpassed junior the previous standard of 842 set by Ohio State in 2004. Matching the team title, Thomas Detry of Illinois claimed medalist honors with a score of 206, edging teammate Charlie Danielson by 1 stroke. Michigan’s Kyle Mueller took third place. The Hawkeyes had three individual top-10 finishes helped lead them to their second-consecutive second-place Big Ten finish. Leading the way was junior Carson Schaake, who tallied a threeround 210 to finish fourth. The Omaha native’s finish matches his best finish of the year and his fourth top10 finish of the season. Schaake was the two-day tournament leader heading into the final round, but he wasn’t able to keep up with the scoring pace, posting a 73 — his worst round of the tournament. Despite not playing his best, Schaake battled, making par or better on 14 holes in the final round. Raymond Knoll joined Schaake with a fifth-place finish in the tournament. The Naperville, Illinois, native saved his best for the final round, jumping 15 spots on the leaderboard

Bats erupt, Hawkeyes avert sweep By BLAKE DOWSON blake-dowson@uiowa.edu

An offensive outburst to the tune of 16 hits and 8 runs saved the Iowa baseball team (18-19, 7-8 Big Ten) from a sweep at the hands of Michigan on Sunday in front of a crowd of almost 1,500 fans at Banks Field. After being stifled by Michigan starter Evan Hill in the first two innings, the Hawkeyes scored runs in the next five, picking apart seven different Wolverine hurlers in an 8-3 win. The leadoff hitter for Iowa got on base in the fourth through seventh innings, and most of them scored. “I was really proud with how the guys came out and played today,” head coach Rick Heller said. “After a couple days that didn’t go our way and we really didn’t play all that well, to bounce back like we did with that kind of effort was tremendous. We got back to playing Hawkeye baseball.” Sophomore pitcher Nick Gallagher earned the win in relief of starter Calvin Mathews, tossing seven innings and allowing only 1 run, in that coming ninth inning. Heller said the plan was to throw Mathews, Gallagher, and senior Tyler Peyton equally on Sunday. But after Mathews was touched up for 2 runs in 1.2 innings and Peyton was spiked on the arm diving back into first base, he decided to ride Gallagher. The Iowa City native came

In their only home meet of the season, the track Hawkeyes shone, breaking one school record and grabbing 13 titles at the April 23 Musco Twilight at the Cretzmeyer Track against Drake, Iowa Central, Iowa State, and Northern Iowa. “It’s great to represent our program in front of the home crowd,” Director of Track and Field Joey Woody said. “I was really proud of our student-athletes to go out and do what we wanted them to do: Be stars for the night, as Coach [Larry] Wieczorek used to say.” Although there were plenty of great performances throughout the day, freshman Briana Guillory was the one Hawkeye who broke a school record.
