Students eating in University dining halls are not at risk for falling ill due to the recent E. coli outbreak in crops of romaine lettuce that was reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC issued a warning for all lettuce grown in the Yuma, Arizona, region, including salad mixes, hearts and whole heads of romaine lettuce, said Jim Roberts, environmental health director at the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District. University students should not have to worry about this outbreak because romaine lettuce stocked by University Dining is from California, not the region reportedly supplying the contaminated lettuce, said Aubrey Dawn, associate director of University Housing for Dining Services. “Food safety is a high priority, and we are vigilant to make sure that we never serve a product that may be unsafe,” Dawn said. According to the CDC’s
case count map, 84 people have reported E. coli infections after eating romaine lettuce as of April 24. Only one case has been reported in Illinois so far. Dawn said after the CDC issued a warning on romaine lettuce, University Dining’s supplier chose not to ship any products from Yuma, Arizona, even though products they would have shipped were never under investigation or recalled. In the event of a recall, dining staff checks to see if its inventory contains any recalled product, Dawn said. If University Dining were to find any recalled product, it would take the product out of service and notify its suppliers and the campus community. Dawn said they do not often stock recalled products because their suppliers keep a close eye on the products they purchase. “The growers for your distributor to the U of I have never been under investigation by the CDC and never SEE E.

Cryptocurrency startup opens in Research Park Jump Labs now acccepts applications for students BY HAIPEI WU STAFF WRITER
Two-and-a-half years after opening as a research and development office for Jump Capital and Jump Trading in the University’s Research Park, Jump Labs is now accepting applications for its cryptocurrency startup incubator. Jump Trading is known as one of the biggest cryptocurrency traders in the world, while Jump Capital invests in crypto-infrastructure companies, said Peter Johnson, vice president of Jump Capital. The recently launched incubator will take Jump Trading’s sponsorship one
step further, offering people who are accepted into the program an investment from $35,000 to $50,000 to start their own cryptocurrency company. Johnson said the goal of the incubator is to invest in students and professors, while providing them with mentorship and market data. “We think cryptocurrency is going to change the world,” Johnson said. “We think a lot of applications will now be decentralized, and we believe it’s going to be the next asset class that institution investors and retail investors will invest in.” Andrew Miller, professor in computer science who has received a sponsorship from Jump, said he thinks cryptocurrency is an exciting area to do research in. “In cr y ptocurrencies, there is a broad and SEE CURRENCIES | 3A

A journey reenvisioned A Ph.D. student’s dedication to adaptive sports

The high bar in men’s gymnastics stretches just under 8 feet wide and is raised just over 9 feet into the air. Joey Peters is in the middle of a routine, and as he spins around the bar, he releases his left hand, spins 180 degrees and then reattaches it to the bar. Now, with his eyes facing the mat, Peters drops the full weight of his body and uses its momentum for his next three clockwise spins. The bar bends and shakes, and then Peters lets go. All eyes are on him and for a brief moment, he is suspended in the air, flipping, turning and twisting his body before he grabs onto the bar, and those watching erupt with joy. Peters finishes his routine with three more spins around the bar and then casually jumps off.
With summer break approaching, some University students are facing the problem of what to do with the belongings they cannot take home with them. University Housing does not offer summer storage and encourages students to look for self-storage off campus, said Chelsea Hamilton, senior assistant director for communications and marketing for University Housing, in an email.

His friends rush the mat, grab him and hug him. Peters just pulled off a Brett Schneider after a year away from gymnastics. “It’s a double-twisting Kovacs on high bar,” said men’s gymnastics head coach Justin Spring. “I think he is the first American to ever catch it. There’s only five guys that I found caught it in the world.” Spring said the move was invented by German gymnast Andreas Schneider just a few years ago and is the hardest skill to complete on high bar. “When you do gymnastics your whole life and then you stop, it’s kind of like a withdrawal,” Peters said. “You kind of want to seek out some of those cool experiences and moments that you got from the sport and the adrenaline.” It was a memorable
moment for Peters, but also a bittersweet reminder of what was and what could have been. He didn’t complete the skill in a home competition at Huff Hall. He didn’t even travel with the Illini when they won their 28th Big Ten title. And when Illinois closed out its season with a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships in Chicago, Peters could only watch from the sidelines. Instead, he made history at Kenney Gym, the men’s gymnastics practice facility, in front of just his former teammates and coaching staff. Peters spent five years on the Illinois men’s gymnastics team and officially ended his career in 2017. During his time, Peters was honored as an All-Around All-American in 2013 and was named to the All-Big Ten Second Team in 2015.
He won 13 career events, but he was never able to reach his full potential. In what was supposed to be his final season with the Illini, Peters’s body began to break down. In addition to wrist and bicep injuries, he tore his right rotator cuff and blew out his left knee. “I tore all of the menisci stuff, so they had to drill into my femur to try and regrow some of it back.” Peters said. “I got back-to-back-to-backto-back surgeries, and I had to redshirt my senior year.” Peters graduated with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology in 2016, and because of his medical leave, he still had one season of eligibility left. Since he was no longer a scholarship athlete, the only way he could remain on the team was if he enrolled in graduate school. SEE JOURNEY | 3A

A concurrent enrollment program between the University and Parkland College will allow University students to take classes at Parkland over the summer for University credit. “Concurrent enrollment means that University of Illinois students can take classes at Parkland at the Parkland tuition rate over the summer, and they can also take them in the fall and spring as well,” said Sarah Hartman, admissions adviser at Parkland College. Hartman said anyone enrolled at the University can participate in the concurrent enrollment program. Domestic students are charged $164 per credit hour at Parkland, while they are charged $845 at the University. International students pay $871 per credit hour at the University, while they are charged $529 at Parkland. Hartman estimated that over 1,000 University students took classes at Parkland in summer 2017. “If students need a little more one-on-one kind of work, it’s easy to do with our professors and

our instructors over here because the class sizes are so small,” said Tim Wendt, director of enrollment services at Parkland College. Parkland makes sure its classes will transfer to the University because of its close relationship with the University, Wendt said. Laura Gerhold, adviser in aerospace engineering, said many students in the department take general education courses at Parkland, especially if they are planning to work or to
do research during the summer. “I think the University and Parkland have a very strong relationship, and a lot of the course work from Parkland has already been articulated for transfer,” Gerhold said. “It makes it easier for students to know if they take a course there (because) it will be easily transferred back or accepted back to the University.” Wayne Chang, professor in mechanical science and engineering, teaches
classes at Parkland over the summer if the enrollment numbers are high enough for the engineering class he teaches. “I encourage students to do it because summer, even though it is really intense, you cover (a) 16-week course in eight weeks,” Chang said. “But, because it’s summer, it is a little bit more chill and students can do a little bit more when it is more compact.” coridl2@dailyillini.com

JOURNEY His head coach knew just the person to put him in contact with. “I reached out to Ian (Rice),” Spring said. “He was a part of the program long ago and still on campus, and I have a pretty good rapport with him.”
Crossing over
Since becoming the head coach at Illinois, Spring has invited guest speakers to practice. He hopes that a different voice will provide his athletes with a new perspective and help them refocus on their craft. But on this particular afternoon in spring 2017, the message goes beyond sports. Former Illinois gymnast Ian Rice is in attendance, and as he shares about one of the toughest moments of his life, he also explains how he was able to emerge from it. In 1993, Rice was a freshman on the Illinois men’s gymnastics team. He dreamed of becoming an AllAmerican and earning a spot on the U.S. national team, but those aspirations were cut short. In one of the first collegiate meets of his career, Rice miscalculated a release move during his high bar routine. The mistake caused him to fall, but unlike many instances of the past, this time he wouldn’t get up. Rice landed awkwardly and broke his neck. And while he remembers the excruciating pain coursing through his upper body, it was as if his lower extremities had been frozen in time. “There is a reason why they call a spinal cord injury a catastrophic injury,” Rice said. “I was immediately paralyzed.

immediately couldn’t feel or move my lower body, and it was clear that this was very serious.” In an instant, Rice’s life was changed forever, and he would never be able to walk again. He said it took him a long time to come to grips with his injury and to fully accept his new lifestyle. But despite how devastating it was, it was not defining. Rice’s desire to be great never waivered, so instead of totally pushing his previous goals away, he allowed them to manifest into something different, something better. “I just thought that message was really powerful to hear from someone that went through the worst injury you could possibly have,” Spring said. “Look at what he’s done. “People have gotten infected by swallowing lake water while swimming, touching the environment in petting zoos and other animal exhibits and by eating food prepared by people who did not wash their hands well after using the toilet,” Roberts said. Aashay Patel, senior in Engineering, said he is surprised the dining halls at the University manage to provide for thousands of students while upholding hygiene and safety standards. “The consequences are big if they screw up. If that source is contaminated or compromised in any way, someone could get sick. Just the fact they can pull that off makes me trust them,” Patel said.
issued a recall on any of their products,” Dawn said. E. coli infection symptoms can include diarrhea, severe stomach cramps and vomiting. People will often recover from these symptoms in a week, but more severe cases can result in kidney failure, Roberts said. Additionally, Roberts said people with symptoms of E. coli infection should talk to their doctors and report their illness to their local health department. Most strains of E. coli bacteria are harmless and a part of a healthy human intestinal tract, but some E. coli produce adverse symptoms. Almost everyone has some risk of E. coli infection, Roberts said. okw2@dailyillini.com

Though Miller said Jump has a reputation for being secretive, it has sponsored various research projects on campus, working with professors in computer science,
He’s married; he’s got two kids; he works a great job; he’s helping people. He’s a mentor, a professor and overall (a) great guy.” Following his injury, Rice missed the rest of the fall semester due to rehabilitation, but he returned in the spring. He went on to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and he decided to continue with his education. In 2002, he graduated with a master’s degree in occupational therapy from Washington University in St. Louis, and in 2010 he earned a doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh in rehabilitation science and technology. “I would say my own injury is initially what sparked my interest to study and investigate rehabilitation sciences,” Rice said. “There
weren’t great answers for many important questions, so I wanted to do my part.” Nearly 25 years since the injury, Rice is now an assistant professor in the department of kinesiology and community health at the University, and Peters is his doctorate student. The odds of two former gymnasts from the same alma mater diving into rehabilitation science together are slim. But in a way, the intersection of their journeys makes it seem as if it was all meant to be. When Rice initially spoke with the team, Spring believed it was beneficial for everyone. But perhaps it was most beneficial for Peters. His career was derailed by injuries, and even though he fought back and found a way
On the surface, both sports seem to be completely different. But despite their dissimilarities, one major way in which gymnastics and wheelchair athletics overlap is the use, and sometimes overuse, of the upper body. “The same sort of injuries and injury risks that they had were the same issues that I had gone through,” Peters said. “Rotator cuff, ligament problems and wrist issues. It was kind of really cool to see a sport that took on such a similar approach to gymnastics.” Rice helped Peters land a volunteer position with the wheelchair racing team to better understand just how strenuous wheelchair racing is. Rice said Peters was able to make the transition easily because he knew what it felt like to be an elite-level athlete. Able-bodied or not, the passion, dedication and grind are all the same. In addition to Peters’s hands-on work, Rice also found a way for him to get involved academically. He reached out to his wife, Laura Rice, who is also an assistant professor in the department of kinesiology and community health. At the time, she had an open graduate assistantship in her master’s program that Peters was able to fill. “It was the first assistantship that I was offered, so right away I said yes,” Peters said. “I didn’t know what I was getting myself into and I was like, ‘You know what? Just go with it.’” With Laura’s guidance, Peters began exploring different connections between wheelchair athletics and rehabilitation science.
to finish out his career, his performance level was never the same. For 17 years of his life, Peters was a gymnast. Then, the injuries piled up and he wasn’t. “Not kind of the way I envisioned it ending,” Peters said. “But that’s how a lot of it goes for a lot of people.” Training and competing were a big part of Peters’ identity, but now he was forced to think about who he would be without the sport he loved. Rice began meeting with Peters one-on-one to help him navigate this new chapter in his life, and he discovered that Peters had an interest in sports science. Most of his initial inquiries were Continue reading the last two related to gymnastics, but chapters online. Rice pushed him a step further into wheelchair athletics. jeboyd2@dailyillini.com

A 6-foot-by-7-foot storage unit costs $210 for students. “We don’t charge any deposits,” Krueger said. “We just ask that they pay for the summer in full when they check in.” Alina Yang, sophomore in LAS, said she used Storage Squad last summer for storage. “I chose Storage Squad because it provides free pick-up and delivery service,” Yang said in an email. “This was very convenient for me at that time because I didn’t have a car for transportation.” Yang said she stored things like clothes, furniture, kitchenware, bedding and books. Finding summer storage was not stressful for her because her friend recommended Storage Squad, which made Yang’s decision on storage locations easier. Yang needed to use summer storage because there was a large gap between her move-out date for her dorm and her move-in date for her new apartment “The move-in date was in August but the moveout date was in May, and I was out of town during the whole summer,” she said.
versity students choose for summer storage. The company charges $37 for box storage, while Collegeboxes charges $45. Students looking for local small business storage options have many to choose from as well. Jill Krueger, manager at Own Your Own Storage in Urbana, said the company has about 50 student customers during the summer months. “Students rent over the summer because they don’t want to take their belongings home,” Krueger said. “Mom and dad don’t want to bring their kids’ belongings home.” Krueger said student customers are often international students or students from distant places who have a long way to travel over the summer months and do not want to worry about transporting their items. “We do have some international students, and then I have kids that probably live in California or New York or whatever, so they just do not want to take their stuff all the way home,” she said.

Kanye West tests the bounds of free thinking AUSTIN STADELMAN COLUMNIST
F
reedom of speech, religion, expression and thought have all come into the spotlight in the last few years, particularly on college campuses like our own University. The debate as to what should or should not be the limits of true “freedom” has been omnipresent, and it perhaps does not have any definitive answers. During the past week, a new, but perhaps unintended, player in that game appeared. That individual is Kanye West. His ensemble of tweets championing “free thinking” and “love” have raised eyebrows from his fanbase and have drawn the praise of the conservative Twitter sphere. From sharing his love for Candice Owens to announcing his shared “dragon energy” with the president, this is all in the name of love, of course. Traditional debate about freedoms comes when two conflicting sides spar with one another, usually at a speaker’s event or protest, about what is particularly being said. West poses a different aspect of the debate: whether free thought is inherently good. A few of West’s fellow musical artists and media personalities have reached out or made subtle statements questioning his thought process regarding the platform he has and how best he should use it. For the general public, there’s the attitude that perhaps Kanye is abandon-

Also, the public believes he is consenting to the unpopular and harmful actions, both domestically and abroad, of the president. This brings up the discussion of whether he is right
in his “free thinking.” While it certainly isn’t a negative characteristic to embrace individuals of different thoughts and world perceptions, that doesn’t make it inherently beneficial to society. Repeating phrases such as “everyone has their own opinion” and then justifying them in the name of “spreading love” is rather naive. The idea that

straightforward speech as one of the most important discourse norms; it is rare for us to speak in parables, as is common in other languages of the world, for example. Why is it so difficult in some situations, then, to simply tell someone what’s on your mind? As Jack Nicholson famously retorted in “A Few Good Men” when asked for the truth, “You can’t handle the truth!” Sometimes people prefer truth in theory rather than in practice. It can often be a hard pill to swallow. The burden of honesty lies not only upon the person with something to say, but also upon the person accepting the candor of another; it is not only the duty of the confessor to be tactful and kind, but for the receiver of the news to accept the truth with grace and understanding. If it’s hard to say, it’s hard to hear. Honesty and kindness prove difficult, but not impossible, to reconcile; both parties need only to carry a robust sense of empathy. Remember: we’ve all been on both sides of the equation at some point in our lives. Ellen is a freshman in LAS. ellenmb2@dailyillini.com
everything is subjective, and therefore that there can be no wrong thoughts, is one of the worst philosophical arguments made across the board. Thi goes for every part of the spectrum, from societal culture to political ideology. The notion of “free thinking” shouldn’t be treated as a means to justify your own world views,
but rather to challenge the views that face real oppression or are being silenced. Free thinkers are Martin Luther, who questioned the Catholic church’s antics during days of selling indulgences, and John Locke, who gave birth to liberalism with the principle that people have inherent rights that cannot be taken away by the state.
Also, John Stuart Mill, who championed the idea that society should strive for the best outcomes to maximize happiness. It’s the outcomes that hold the value of a given thought and stand the test of time. Should we tacitly consent to “free thinkers” perpetuating ideas if they are detrimental to society? If Kanye West considers Donald Trump to be a “free thinker,” then perhaps the basis for what is deemed “free thinking” should be reevaluated. To show the extreme of this, history reveals to us in Germany, the Soviet Union and Rwanda that thoughts can ferment into actions in which people universally agree to produce bad outcomes such as war, hunger and genocide. It would be foolish and self-defeating for humanity to revive ideas like those without scrutiny from society in the name of “free thinking.” This is not to advocate for state suppression or moderation of thought, for that would be an even greater ill. But Kanye West and his fellow “free thinkers” should understand when presenting an idea that may be unpopular or harmful, they are not immediately justified solely because they are entitled to their own opinion. They should expect to be contested and have their ideas put to trial by the people, to which the outcomes of those thoughts determine whether they should be believed in. That is what true free thinkers encourage. Austin is a sophomore in LAS. aas3@dailyillini.com

FBI Students’ Academy inspires new career opportunities BY MEGAN BRADLEY STAFF WRITER
It can be hard to receive job offers from government agencies. However, one registered student organization on campus is working to help students find employment with agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI Students’ Academy RSO is affiliated with the FBI and runs seminars with guest speakers from the FBI to speak with students interested in joining a governmental agency someday. “Our goals are to increase student awareness about what the FBI is, their mission, what kind of things they do, the people they work with and what kind of jobs are available within the FBI. It’s a way for students to come and ask questions,” said Dorothy Christoforou, junior in LAS and the RSO’s president. The FBI Students’ Academy at the University was the first students’ academy to open five years ago. It works directly with the community outreach specialist from the FBI branch in Springfield, Illinois, to coordinate events. The biggest aspect the club wants to spread awareness about is the FBI seeks students with any interest, ranging from accountants to lawyers. Christoforou said she is studying political science in the hopes of becoming an FBI lawyer someday, while Sam Davis, junior in LAS and the RSO’s event director, said she is studying molecular and cellular biology to become a forensic scientist. “The agents that come in are really cool because they get to tell not only their specialty that they work in, like weapons of mass destruction, but they also get to tell how they got into the FBI,” Davis said. “Some people start as a gym teacher, some start as a lawyer, so it’s really nice to see the different ways you can get into the FBI.” Davis said she had never realized the multiple paths people take with the FBI, and learning about this has become beneficial for her and her future career path. Other than having agents come in, the FBI Students’ Academy also hosts workshops for events, such as building a resume fit for a governmental agency job, since they require four to five pages of information.

The Students’ Academy is open for anyone to join. But once students express interest, there are various requirements that they must complete in order to graduate from the program. “The certificate (of graduation) shows that you’ve gone through this program,” Davis said. “It’s run through the FBI and signed by the FBI, so it shows that you have not only expressed interest, but you have gone and listened to presentations and learned the ins and outs of the FBI.” Students who do not fulfill their requirements in
one year are encouraged to continue in the organization until they do graduate. Agents who specialize in topics such as white-collar crime, violence, counterterrorism and cybercrime give seminars at the FBI Students’ Academy, which are beneficial for students in multiple ways. “It helps you with wanting to do well in school, too,” Christoforou said. “We have a lot of agents that come in and stress the importance of being involved and trying to be really good at what you do, so it’s really kind of inspiring and insightful.”
The Students’ Academy also gives students a chance to fully understand and interact with current FBI agents. Trevor Royse, sophomore in Business and the RSO’s treasurer, joined the academy two years ago as a way to reach his dream job since high school. “The academy is a great place to learn how to make your community a safer place (and) learn what the FBI does in real life in contrast to what people see on TV and in movies,” Royse wrote in an email. “It is also an excellent foundation for learning how
to join the FBI.” This year, for the first time, the executive board from the Students’ Academy is taking a trip to Springfield, Illinois, to visit the FBI offices located there and to meet with more agents. In the future, Christoforou said she hopes this can be an opportunity expanded to all members. In addition to expanding the Springfield trip, another goal the RSO has is to increase membership. This year, the RSO is graduating almost twice the amount of people than last year. Royse said they hope to keep the numbers growing.
Interacting with the FBI agents is Christoforou, Davis and Royse’s favorite part of being in the organization, which they hope to have more students experience. “You get to hear anything and everything about the FBI, anything you might’ve had questions about or do have questions about,” Davis said. “We get to talk to actual special agents. They’re not just people who have heard stories; they’re people doing it currently. So you get their side of it, not just a teacher going out of a book.” meganmb2@dailyillini.com

Skydiving, listening to Frank Ocean prompt productivity Students share unique, unusual study habits BY SARAH O’BEIRNE STAFF WRITER
Falling 12,000 feet in the air doesn’t seem like the typical form of studying you'd see on a scholarly website or article about how to ace an exam. But for Anirudh Nandella, this is how he prepares to cram for exams, and he swears by it. Nandella, freshman in Engineering, said skydiving gives him an adrenaline rush that allows him to really focus when he studies, as compared to other, more conventional learning styles. “When I normally study, I get distracted a lot,” Nandella said. “But when I’m there (at the drop zone),
I’m really motivated to do work.” He brings his backpack to the drop zone, where he studies while waiting for the other divers in the Flying Illini skydiving club to take their time, which he participates in regularly. Nandella said he is positive that he passed Calculus 3 due to his intense focus after jumping thousands of feet in the air. “After I get that adrenaline high, I’m ready to do some work,” Nandella said. “It’s my little peak. For the thirty minutes to an hour after my drop, I’m very productive.” Nandella plans on jumping at least one to two times before finals, to take advantage of that burst of academic efficiency. “Every jumper feels the same way; we’re all productive after,” Nandella said. “It feels like it does after a run; you get (that) runner’s high.” Aside from helping him study, Nandella said skydiving has improved his
time management skills as well. “It reminds me that I only have so much time to study,” Nandella said. “I’ll spend time having fun and time doing work. I tell myself, ‘Get your work done, let it sink in your head and then rest.’” Having a clear mind for Nandella is one of the most important factors to his success. For Allison Wuller, freshman in LAS, all of her study habits involve the number seven in some way, shape or form. “I like to tap my left ring finger on the desk seven times,” Wuller said. “I have to count my last seven steps to whatever desk I’m working at and, generally, I like to take a seven-minute prestudy break after I sit at a desk, but before I actually start working.” Wuller said her routine of sevens began in high school when she had seven classes and would tap her finger to remember the homework she had for each class.
“So, the first tap would be for English class and I’d think, ‘Okay, I have to write a paper,’” Wuller said. “Second tap would be gym class, and I’d remind myself to not forget gym shoes tomorrow.” Zachary Silver, sophomore in LAS, follows an even more specific routine when it comes to studying for big tests. Silver religiously studies in the same cubicle located on the top floor of the Main Stacks, which he discovered with one of his fraternity brothers last year. The Main Stacks are located beyond the information desk in the Main Librar y. Students are required to show their iCard before entering. “It’s a bit creepy, but I get what I need to get done up there,” Silver said. In addition to sitting at the same desk, Silver also listens to the same album, Blonde by Frank Ocean, on repeat. “I was taking a math class last semester and wasn’t

doing too well when I discovered this album,” Silver said. “I listened to it while studying and did unbelievably well on the final, which saved my grade.” Silver has been listening to the album out of superstition from that moment on. “Since then, I’ve kind of had something telling me I’m not going to do well if I don’t study to Frank Ocean,” Silver said. Silver also never studies with his shoes on, interestingly enough. “I kind of like where my feet can breathe and I feel

like when I’m studying and sitting (for a long time), it gets kind of sweaty,” Silver said. With finals approaching, Silver plans on spending a lot of time in his sacred study spot. “(I) never see another soul up there, which is really nice because you go to places like the Undergraduate Library and there’s no way you can find a desk anywhere,” Silver said. “It’s the best place to go study; completely quiet with no distractions.”

Golf wins fourth straight Big Ten title BY THE DAILY ILLINI SPORTS DESK
The No. 12 Illinois men’s golf team began its ascent to a fourth consecutive Big Ten title after finishing the second round 12-under-par. Illinois coasted to the lead before clinching together the victory on Sunday. This marks Illi-
nois’ ninth Big Ten Championship in the last 10 years. The Illini toppled every other Big Ten team by a monstrous total score of 836. Ohio State took home second with 851, and Iowa came in third with 859. Senior Nick Hardy grabbed
his second individual title as an Illini, with a score of 204. He finished 6-under-par with a match-low score of 67 in the final round on Sunday. Hardy and his fellow senior teammates haven’t seen a season at Illinois where the team didn’t win a Big
Ten title. The last time the team did not win the title was in 2014 to Minnesota. Bryan Baumgarten and Michael Feagles tied for fifth place with 212, while Dylan Meyer trailed them with 213 to tie for eighth. After Friday’s first round, the
Illini finished in the middle of the pack with a team score of 281. A cumulative secondround score of 268 pushed Illinois in front of runner-up Ohio State by 11 strokes overall. At the end of day two, Iowa and Penn State were tied for third place with 3-over-par.
During Sunday’s final round, Illinois shot a 287 as a team, finishing with a significant seven-stroke advantage over the second-lowest-scoring team on the day, Northwestern. sports@dailyillini.com

Illinois takes doubleheader against Penn State Saturday saw 21 combined runs, Sunday saw loss BY MILES POWERS-HUANG ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
While it was an unusual 48 hours for the Illinois softball team, the Illini weathered the storm to sweep a Saturday doubleheader at Penn State. The Illini played an inningand-a-half Friday night, giving up three early runs to the Nittany-Lions. However, thunderstorms in the area would postpone the remainder of the game until Saturday afternoon, which junior outfielder Kiana Sherlund felt helped the team regain its focus. “It was good for us,” Sherlund said. “We started off the game with a 3-0 deficit, which is never the way you wanna start off the game, obviously, but it was good to take a little breather, take the night off (and) watch video, and we came back.” The Illini made a comeback in the first game Saturday, as junior catcher Stephanie Abello got them on the board with an RBI single, scoring Carly Thomas. Still trailing 4-3 heading into the sixth inning, Illinois put together a big inning to gain the upper hand. The team loaded the bases before senior catcher Rowan McGuire came up with a pinch-hit single to score Leigh Farina. Abello continued her good offensive performance, coming up with a two-RBI single, followed by a Bella Loya two-RBI double and a throwing error that allowed Maddi Doane to score. Before long, the Illini, who were behind to start the inning, led 9-4 heading into

the bottom of the sixth and would go on to close out the game 10-4. Although her team had to wait a day to get back on the field, head coach Tyra Perry was happy with its response. “We showed a lot of resiliency considering we started the game last night, but we were able to come out today and re-focus,” Perry
said. “We ended up giving up three runs in just a short span of time (yesterday), but today, we were able to gain some ground and come back to win the game.” In the second game, the Illini jumped out to an early lead and refuse to take their foot off the gas. Kiana Sherlund led off with a home run, and the Illini loaded the bases
in the second before walking four consecutive times and leading 5-0 after two innings at bat. Regardless of the runs scored, it was the pitching that impressed Perry the most. “Anytime you’re playing a double-header against a Big Ten team, it’s gonna be tough so, it was great in game two to
come out strong behind the arms of Akilah Mouzoun and Emily Oestreich,” Perry said. Mouzoun would start and record the first four outs for the Illini before being relieved by Oestreich, who finished the final 5.2 innings, giving up just two unearned runs. As the pitching held Penn State at bay, Sherlund broke
the game open with a fourthinning grand slam. Illinois took the game 11-4. “Whenever Kiana is aggressive, the other teams have to watch out because she’s so talented in that she can lay down a bunt, put down a slap (or) swing for power,” Perry said. “She’s SEE SOFTBALL | 2B

Illinois outfielder Zac Taylor gets ready to swing at a pitch during the game against Milwaukee at Illinois Field on March 14. The Illini won against the Hoosiers on Friday 3-2, but lost to them on Saturday.
Illini battles Hoosiers in close series BY GAVIN GOOD STAFF WRITER
While Illinois was able to squeeze out a 3-2 victory in the series opener at No. 15 Indiana on Friday, it was the Hoosiers who were able to survive a tight, 12-inning affair between the two rivals on Saturday. After Bren Spillane walked to lead off the ninth, right
fielder Jack Yalowitz singled to center to drive Spillane home and level the game at one apiece. The game was a duel between two pitchers at the top of their game. Indiana scored one run in the first inning off of Illinois starter Quinn Snarskis, but Snarskis was able to keep the Hoosiers off the board for
the rest of his seven innings pitched while giving up seven hits. The Hoosiers rode the performance of pitcher Cameron Beauchamp, who kept the Illini off the board and only allowed two hits in his six innings pitched. Each team’s bullpen was SEE BASEBALL | 2B
The Illinois men’s track and field team finished third overall in the 2018 HyVee Cup competition at the 109th Drake Relays. The Illini scored six points in three relay events, while senior David Kendziera led the team out of relay competition with a victory in the 400-meter hurdles. Scoring 18 points overall, Illinois tied with Ohio State for third. Iowa won the HyVee Cup with 32 points and Iowa State finished runner-up with 28 points. “I thought they handled the pressure of this meet really well,” said head coach Mike Turk. “One of the things that I was really pleased about was that when things didn’t immediately go our way, we ended up gathering to fight to the end today, and I was really pleased with that.” The Illini also placed
third in the sprint medley relay with a time of 3:22.54. Devin Quinn and Jason Shannon ran the 200-meter legs, followed by Kenneth Allen running the 400-meter leg. Konrad Eiring anchored the final 800-meter leg. Outside of the relay competition, Kendziera’s 400-meter hurdle was the fastest intermediate hurdle race ran in ten years. Timing 49.94 seconds, Kendziera took the victory and finished over half a second faster than Chris Douglass of Iowa (50.52). It is the fastest time in the event at the Drake Relays since Justin Gamon timed 49.26 back in 2008, and it’s the third time Kendziera finished the 400-meter hurdle in under 50 seconds this season. Throughout the weekend, the men’s 4x400meter relay team set two back-to-back season-best times, finishing with a time of 3:09 on Friday and lowering it further to 3:07.64 to finish third in the final event on Saturday. Kendziera anchored for the team, running 46.50. The 4x400 had surprise performances from another pair of seniors, jumper Parker Deloye
and Kenneth Allen, who was returning to the lineup after recovering from injury. “Kenneth Allen was a big addition coming back into the lineup,” Turk said. “Even though he’s not 100 percent, he’s a really experienced veteran for us and he’s been through all this stuff. To have him out there, he definitely brings a presence that instills confidence in the rest of the guys. Parker Deloye also stepped in and filled a hole in the 4x400 in the finals, and he amazed me with how well he ran. He just went out there and competed his best. He got an opportunity and made the most of it.” After also qualifying for finals on Saturday, senior Mo Maat was substituted into the anchor leg of the 4x100. The unit of freshman Jason Shannon, senior Cole Henderson, junior Joe Haight and Maat kept up with Purdue and Ohio State into the final straightaway, although Ohio’s Zach Bazille finished just ahead of Purdue’s Waseem Williams and Maat.

The Illinois bats were certainly clicking on Saturday, scoring 21 runs total. Sherlund felt they got into a rhythm after repeatedly facing the same pitcher from Penn State. “Penn State has two pitchers who spilt most of the innings, and by the second game today, we had seen everything they had, so (it) kind of felt like batting practice to a lot of us because we knew everything they had already,” Sherlund said. While many Illini batters had success at the plate, it was Sherlund who stood out. In fact, Sherlund appears to have a knack for doing damage with lots of runners on base.

Illinois’ relievers gave up only the game-winning hit and three hits in four innings of work, while Indiana’s allowed only one run and three hits in six innings. The Hoosiers’ Matt Lloyd (3-0) started at second base before coming in to pitch the last three-and-one-third innings and take the win. After Snarskis came out, Illinois junior Quinten Sefcik came in to pitch 2 1/3 innings, during which he only allowed one hit. Thompson came in and kept Indiana from scoring in the 11th inning before Indiana catcher Drew Ashley hit a 1-0 pitch over the right field fence to win it for the Hoosiers in walk-off fashion. Despite the loss, head coach Dan Hartleb was pleased with how the Illini played. He credited Snarskis and the relief pitchers with strong performances on the mound that helped keep the team in the game, despite only being able to rack up five hits and score one run. “When you play good teams, you’re going to have tight games,” Hartleb said. “We found a way to tie it up in the ninth, it just was a tough day in that it didn’t go our way at the end.”
When Snarskis took the mound Saturday, a large crowd of Hoosier fans greeted him. Rather than being intimidated, however, he was excited for an opportunity to impress in a hostile situation. “There was probably about 2,000 people there; it was cool to be up there on the mound and compete against a team like that,” Snarskis said. “It was a really good experience.” After Friday’s win, Saturday’s result was yet another setback for a team that has now lost five of its last seven games. Illinois was unable to do what it did the day before: complete a comeback in a high-pressure situation. On Friday, the Illini competed against Hoosier pitcher Jonathan Stiever and fell behind 2-0. Second baseman Michael Massey started an Illini rally in the fourth inning on an RBI single. In the sixth, Spillane (.444), the nation’s leading hitter, drove home a run with a crucial double to tie the game at two. It was center fielder Zac Taylor who broke the deadlock in the seventh with an RBI single to make it a 3-2 scoreline.

Her offensive heroics on Saturday helped to propel the Illini to 33-15 overall. “I don’t know what’s happening with that,” Sherlund said. “Obviously that can’t happen if the bases aren’t loaded, so kudos to my teammates. I never thought that would be the stat I would have because every time it’s happened I was just trying to hit a ground ball up the middle, and it goes further than I think it ever would.” The Illini’s quest for a sweep would fall short on Sunday, as Penn State rallied to force the game into extra innings before prevailing in the ninth on a Tori Dubois walk-off homerun. This earned them a victory, which has come few and far between for the NittanyLions, who improved to 7-39 this season. The Illinois bats were quiet most of the day, but two passed balls allowed them to take a 3-2 lead heading into the bottom of the fourth, before Penn State would tie things up on an RBI single by Dani Fey. The two teams were deadlocked until the ninth, when Dubois’ blast sealed the Nittany-Lion victory, pushing the Illini to 33-16 on the season.

Hartleb acknowledged that this weekend’s series is a big one for his squad, but he said that each game still only counts as one game, even though Sunday’s contest will decide the series. “I don’t want to place emphasis on any particular one game; it’s a big series,” Hartleb said. “If we get the win tomorrow, we’re in a good position up toward the top (of the conference); if not, we’re still up toward the top, just one more behind.” The Illini couldn’t keep things close on Sunday, dropping the final game of the series 2-9. In a series that has been defined by individual plays in tight situations, there is little margin for error for the Illini to come out with a road series win against the high-ranked Big Ten foe they will likely face all season. For Hartleb, the key to win is simple: keep up the high level of play and execute in the crucial moments. “We’re going to have to continue to play at the level we’ve been playing at,” Hartleb said. “Hopefully, we can make the big pitch, the big plays we came up with (Friday).” @itsallG_O_O_D gavinrg2@dailyillini.com

Men finish second in Big Ten, women lose in semifinals BY MILES POWERS-HUANG ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
After an opening-round victory over Minnesota, the Illinois women’s tennis team was unable to continue its winning ways, as it fell in the semifinals to Michigan. The Wolverines opened the match by securing the doubles point, as the sophomore duo of Lera Patiuk and Chiara Lommer defeated the Illini’s Asuka Kawai and Mia Rabinowitz 6-2, followed by Alyvia Jones and Mira Ruder-Hook taking down Emilee Duong and Jaclyn Switkes 6-4.
As the match moved to the singles events, Michigan secured the first victory, as Ruder-Hook beat Sasha Belaya 6-4, 6-3. Illinois responded as Duong defeated Patiuk 6-2, 6-3, followed by Mia Rabinowitz extending her singles win streak to 13 with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Jones. The winning did not stop there for the Illini, as Switkes took the victory over Wolverines’ Kate Fahey 6-3, 6-4. However, the comeback effort for the Illini fell short, as Illinois native Brienne Minor took down Daniela Pedraza-
Novak 3-6, 6-2, 6-4, and Lommer defeated Kawai 2-6, 7-5, 6-3, clinching the narrow 4-3 match victory for Michigan. Although the Illini were unable to bring home the Big Ten Championship, the opportunity to win a national championship is still possible, as they wait for the NCAA tournament field selection on Tuesday. On the men’s side, Illinois battled for a Big Ten Championship heading into Sunday, after opening with a 4-0 sweep over Penn State and a semifinal victory over Michigan.
With the victory Saturday, head coach Brad Dancer tied Craig Tiley’s program record with 274 matches won, making Sunday ever more important, as he could secure a Big Ten Championship to go along with the program’s alltime wins record. It was a comeback victory in the semifinals for the Illini, as the Wolverines began taking the doubles point. Connor Johnston and Myles Schalet took down the Illini’s Alex Brown and Caleb Chakravarthi 6-3, which was followed a 7-5 Michigan victory from Harrison Brown and Alex
Knight over Vuk Budic and Aleks Vukic. Illinois swept the singles matches. Alex Brown would start the comeback with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Schalet, and Vukic would also secure a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Knight. The Illini then saw a pair of winning streaks extended to exactly nine victories as Aleks Kovacevic and Zeke Clark both won to clinch a berth in the final. Illinois met Ohio State on Sunday in a matchup of the third -and eighth-ranked teams in the nation. Ohio State opened by taking the
doubles point. Although Budic and Vukic won the first game, Ohio State took the final two matches. The Buckeyes’ dominance continued in singles play as Mikael Torpegaard, JJ Wolf and John McNalley recorded victories to complete the 4-0 sweep, clinching the Big Ten title. The men will also have to wait until Tuesday to find out their postseason fate, and Dancer’s hope of eclipsing the wins record will have to wait. @MilesP_H milesp2@dailyillini.com
COLUMN
The importance of storytelling: Sports coverage goes beyond field ELI SCHUSTER SPORTS EDITOR
“W
hat makes sports so great?” *raises hand* Well, I’m glad you asked. I’ll stand by Grantland Rice’s old saying: “It’s not whether you win or lose; it’s how you play the game.” For me, that phrase goes a long way. It most certainly isn’t about winning or losing, but often the person playing the game is what makes it so
special. During this past weekend, I was watching the NFL Draft. I’m one of the few who was actually tuned into the Saturday coverage to catch rounds four through seven. I imagine it was me and the families of some hopeful draftees tuning in. Nonetheless, I love the later-round coverage. The stage doesn’t seem nearly as big and the viewer gets a bit more time to learn not about who is a proven winner, but how these athletes play the game. Personally, I can’t get enough of watching people who put their heart
into what they’re doing. It may seem cliche, but sports are so much bigger than throwing a ball back and forth. While I can rant on this subject for hours, I’ll keep this focused to one point in particular: Shaquem Griffin. Griffin comes out of UCF and was the 141st pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. He was one of the nation’s best collegiate linebackers and ran a record-breaking 4.38 40-yard dash time at NFL Combine, the fastest by any linebacker ever. Griffin is also missing a hand. However, Griffin’s
disability has become the least of his worries, and the 22-year-old has achieved the dream of landing on an NFL roster. Even sweeter, the roster Griffin will call home is the Seattle Seahawks, the same team his brother, Shaquill Griffin, has been on for a year. As Griffin got the call from the Seahawks organization, the powerful moment was caught on video. The two brothers embraced while a room full of friends and family followed suit. The story of Griffin is worth a closer look, and I recommend digging deeper. His path not only
shows how a disability doesn’t define who you are, but it also shows the impact sports can have on an individual. Every athlete, coach or even waterboy/girl has a story that goes beyond what’s happening on the field, court, course, track or whatever. The power of sports lies within those individuals and not within the 4.38 dash time by Griffin (still very cool). How a person plays the game also has to do with why they play the game. I sit here in the sports editor position for only a little over a month now, and a goal I hope to continue to pursue is finding out
more about why people play the game. The truly great sports stories will never come from a game recap. Covering collegiate athletics opens the door for a wide range of storylines. Not to mention, a look into non-revenue sports that may not have as much popularity nationwide will lead to some incredibly interesting stories. No matter the sport, plenty of stories are waiting to be shared and we need to continually stress the importance of telling these stories. @Schuster_Elias eeschus2@dailyillini.com

Urbana’s Station Theatre concludes season with ‘August: Osage County’ BY SHELBI VOSS STAFF WRITER
The Station Theatre’s 46th season is coming to an end with the company’s production of “August: Osage County,” directed by Mathew Green, which premiered April 26 and is playing through May 12. “August: Osage County” is no stranger to Illinois. The play got its start at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago in 2007 before transferring to Broadway, where it received five Tony Awards. It tells the story of the Weston family on a quest to find the family patriarch Beverly Weston, who mysteriously disappeared. The disparate family members return home to their threestory estate in Oklahoma to put the pieces of Beverly’s disappearance together, all while making discoveries about their past, present and future in comedic, dramatic and powerful ways. “This is a family in crisis, coming together and coming apart,” Green said. “August: Osage County” is the seventh production in the theater’s 46th season. After the show was proposed, Green was quick to take the opportunity to direct such a well-known play.
“I was kind of fascinated by what an undertaking it would be. It’s a great play, a modern classic, but it’s a beast,” Green said. The production features a cast of 13 actors and actresses, which is a larger number than Green is used to working with. Green said their storytelling ability is particularly notable. “Every cast has its special qualities, its own place in your heart, but these actors are crushing it,” he said. Heading into the rehearsal process, Green wanted to focus on the small and intimate elements of the play. “We’ve built these lovely little moments and then assembled those moments into a sprawling, unified whole. It really is something to see,” he said. The team rehearsed for eight weeks prior to taking the Station Theatre stage for rehearsals. Green said the time was used to fine-tune the performance and focus on the play’s emotional content. The play’s technical elements were added when the production moved into the theatre. “Once we moved into the Station and had use of our beautiful set and lights and costumes, we saw the seeds we had planted blossom into
a real production,” Green said. While adding the technical elements, which include a three-story set and a dinner scene with real dinner rather than prop food, the 13-person cast tied the production together. Combining different aspects of the production added difficulty to creating a smooth product. “It’s pretty immense. And it’s not a short play,” Green said. The three-act play has dramatic, heavy content, but humorous elements still come through. For Green, this is the best part of the story. “For all its dramatic weight, this is a very funny play. It creates a great contradictory balance,” he said. Green said he hopes audience members can relate to the familial aspects of the show while still grasping onto the various messages it has to offer. “I don’t think the play pitches one message, per se, but I do think there’s a lesson here in not letting pain fester,” he said. “August: Osage County” will play through May 12 at the Station Theatre with tickets available online. savoss2@readbuzz.com

Art Theater to show forgotten Italian horror film ‘Suspiria’ BY BILL TAYLOR STAFF WRITER
There was an excess of great Italian horror films made during the 1970s, and Dario Argento directed many of the best ones. At the very top of that fine batch of films is his 1977 masterpiece “Suspiria.” But despite praise from the likes of Edgar Wright and Guillermo del Toro, the film’s history since its release has been spotty. Thankfully, the Art Theater is coming to the rescue and giving it the presentation it deserves. Previous home video releases of “Suspiria” have been disappointing, not fully capturing its bold color palette and sound design. Last year, in honor of the film’s
40th anniversary, it was given a new restoration under the guidance of its cinematographer, Luciano Tovoli. This rejuvenated version will be screened at the Art Theater on Tuesday, complete with, as its site puts it, “the original booming quadraphonic mix” of the sound. This screening also comes during the year, when the long-planned “Suspiria” remake is coming out. “Call Me By Your Name” director Luca Guadagnino made it, and he assembled a topnotch cast including Tilda Swinton, Dakota Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and Jessica Harper, the original film’s lead. But while that new version is highly anticipated, nothing can quite
compare to the effect of the original. The film’s plot follows American ballerina Suzy (Harper), who goes to a ballet school in Germany but soon realizes the school may be connected to ancient evil. But just as much as it is a narrative, “Suspiria” is a showcase for all kinds of outrageous imagery, bathed in gorgeous, frequently monochromatic lighting and accompanied by a legendary electronic score by Argento’s band, Goblin. It is an experience unlike any other. The Art Theater’s special events coordinator and associate programmer Jessie Seitz is excited for people to discover “Suspiria,” but she also wants to prepare them
for it. She calls it “one of the crown jewels in 1970s Italian horror,” but notes the ways it tests the horror genre. “It’s important to note that it is very different from what constitutes as a horror film in mainstream American cinema. ‘Suspiria’ is deeply atmospheric, with complex, layered storytelling,” Seitz said. “Suspiria” has long been a prime candidate for a screening at the Art Theater. “(The film) has been one of our most requested titles over the years. We were just looking for the perfect opportunity to play it,” Seitz said. Thanks to the restoration and the higher profile of the theater, that opportunity has finally presented itself. In addition to the resto-
ration, the screening came about because of an opportunity to collaborate with the University. “(University of Illinois) Press reached out to us earlier this year about pairing books from their catalog with films shown at the theater,” she said. That was when they discovered that UI Press published a book on the work of Dario Argento for its “Contemporary Film Directors” series and that the Art Theater could finally give the people what they were demanding. After the screening, there will be a Skype Q&A about the film and Argento’s work with L. Andrew Cooper, who wrote the UI Press book on
Argento. In addition, there will be a pop-up UI Press bookstore “before, during and after the show,” selling Cooper’s book and many other books in the series. Anyone going to the screening, even novices, will leave with a newfound knowledge of the film and Argento. “Suspiria” is a horror classic for a reason, and with its newly cleaned-up visuals and sound, the citizens of Champaign and Urbana will soon get a clear taste of why. Seitz is confident the Art Theater’s audience will respond to it. “Yes, there are moments that are absolutely terrifying,” she said. “But the picture was made for cinephiles.” wt2@readbuzz.com
See You CD & Vinyl to move to new, larger space this week BY EMILY PEASE CALENDAR EDITOR
Urbana’s See You CD & Vinyl will be relocating after more than two years at its 123 W. Main St. location. The local music store, a favorite, will be moving just down the street to 208 W. Main St., at the Sipyard behind Cafeteria & Company. Owner Jesse Grubbs said the move is meant to give the growing business some breathing room as it picks up momentum in the Urbana area. See You’s lease was on the horizon when Grubbs was approached by Matt Cho, who recently opened Broadway Food Hall and owns Cafeteria & Company, about the storefront previously inhabited by Flying Coffee Machine Cafe. Cho offered Grubbs the opportunity to start a new project in the newly opened spaces. One of the new features of the move is the addition of the venue space lost when Error Records, another record store, closed and converted to See You. Before

2015, Grubbs had worked with Error Records, which hosted live music in the space’s basement. Then, the store was able to host more customer interactive events such as art galleries and local music showcases. When Error Records was planning to close, Grubbs
took over the small store and opened See You CD & Vinyl; however, he also lost the downstairs venue. See You’s new location offers a better, airier space with a full bar. Grubbs even plans to keep the bar open. See You hopes to encourage more connection with the
community. “It’s not to, per say, expand my empire, but really it’s just to make the space more inviting for the public and these events and to integrate better into the music community,” Grubbs said. Those who have been to the record shop know that
the extra space, not just for growth in terms of business, but also in terms of inventory,” Grubbs said. “We’ll be able to buy more collections because we’ll have the room for it.” Grubbs remains connected with customers, always greeting customers and asking them about the music they’d like to hear. Grubbs said the intimacy of the store will be largely the same. “I want to keep the small, curated feel,” Grubbs said. “I still want it to feel cozy. I’ve always tried to gear my selection to each person that enters the store, like I know you, you know me.” He plans to continue building on each customer relationship On May 3, the store will host the mayor for the ribbon cutting of the new storefront. The ribbon cutting will act as a sneak peak into See You’s grand opening on Friday, which will showcase many improvements and fun activities for all music lovers.
the previous home to See You is on the small side. Grubbs said See You quickly grew into the tiny space on Main when it first opened in 2015. The new storefront is much roomier and will allow the business to grow more. “It will be nice to have epease2@readbuzz.com
