Students and community members spilled out of La Casa Cultural Latina holding candles and each other in remembrance of University student Vicente Mundo.
Community gathers to share stories of student’s life BY CAMILLE MURRAY AND CHARLOTTE COLLINS STAFF WRITERS
To his friends, he was funny and selfless. To his fraternity brothers, he was a role model. To his sister Julieta, he always had a childlike gentleness about him. Vicente Mundo was a junior studying statistics at the University who grew up in the Back of the Yards neighborhood in Chicago. He was the first in his family to go away to college. Close friends and family laughed and cried as they shared memories of Mundo at a vigil held at La Casa Cultural Latina on Monday night to remember his life. The vigil began with a
prayer and a message written by Mundo’s family, who attended a vigil in Chicago but asked the local community to share stories. He was described as a funny, generous and driven person by several friends, who said they are determined to keep his memory alive through sharing stories. “If you would’ve known him, even for just a little bit, you would’ve fallen in love with him because that’s just the type of guy he was,” said Erika Castillo, a close friend of Mundo who attended Curie Metropolitan High School with him. Castillo evoked both tears and laughs from the audience as she recalled a time
when Mundo spontaneously came to visit her in the hospital after she underwent surgery. He joked and danced to make her laugh, she said. The crowd reacted to the recollections with a mixture of mourning and laughter. Those who attended the gathering were encouraged to wear white. A table in the center of the room was decorated with colorful veladoras, white flowers and pictures of Mundo. Behind the table was a treeshaped mural where mourners wrote down individual messages that will be posted on the display throughout the week at the center. A soccer ball, in honor of Mundo’s love of the
sport, was passed around to be signed by those who attended. Mundo served as a coach for the Liga Latinoamericana, a Hispanic soccer league, in Chicago. The ball will be given to Mundo’s family. Mundo’s friends and fraternity brothers spoke of his kind heart and sense of humor. “I’m trying to think of any time he ever said anything bad about anyone, any time he was ever not helpful — and there isn’t one,” Enrique Escarpita, Mundo’s fraternity brother in Theta Chi said. “That’s why this whole situation to me is just overwhelming

Authorities treat Mundo’s death as homicide Cause not yet released, but death not believed to be a random act, says UI chief of police BY CHARLOTTE COLLINS AND MEGAN JONES STAFF WRITER AND ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
The body found alongside a roadway near Tolono on Saturday morning has been identified as University student Vicente Mundo, who has been missing since Jan. 25. The cause of death has not been released, but the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office is treating the investigation as a homicide, according to a press release. “I find so much conso-
lation in knowing because that’s what was killing me,” said Julieta LaMalfa, Mundo’s sister. “It just seems like he didn’t suffer.” On Monday afternoon, a Facebook account run by those closest to Mundo posted that the body was identified as him. “We want to share with you the facts as we know them and remind you of the resources available to you on campus,” said Jeffrey Christensen, University chief of police, in a statement. “We do not believe this to be a random act.” Mundo, junior in LAS, was reported missing to the University of Illinois Police Department on Jan. 27. Police contacted Mundo’s family on Saturday after the body was found. L a M a lfa sa id she believed the body was her brother when she was given

I was supposed to go with him, and now, I wish I had just kind of sucked it up and had went with him, so I could have that memory. But, I have so many great memories of him.” LaMalfa said she wants to express her gratitude for those who worked to spread awareness about her brother’s disappearance. “What people are willing to do to help in times like this ... it’s so appreciated, and I’m just happy I wasn’t going through this alone and that I had people out there to go through it with me,” she said. The Champaign and University police departments are still looking for Mun-

incur that use tax, but be required to remit that to the department,” said Horstman. “And that usually occurs yearly on their income tax return.” Amazon, currently one of the top 10 retailers in the country according to the National Retail Federation, has become a common resource used by students looking to buy textbooks, school supplies and other campus necessities. Despite the additional cost, Malachi Raley, freshman in Engineering, doesn’t believe the sales tax charges will have a major effect on students purchasing from Amazon. He uses Amazon mainly to purchase books and other recreational items he can’t find in the area. For him, the retailer’s advantages overshadow the additional costs. “It’s not really that big of a tax, and also Amazon has options for free shipping,” he said. According to Amazon, the amount of tax charged on a specific order often depends on a variety of factors, such as the seller, type of item purchased and shipment destination. Karr hopes the company collecting sales tax in an increasing number of states will help move the issue forward to federal legislation that would compel all online sellers to collect and remit taxes.

Research Park partnership AbbVie partnered with Research Park on Sept. 17, and the AbbVie Innovation Center recently opened on Jan. 20. “AbbVie is delighted to partner with the University of Illinois on this innovation center because it’s an opportunity to access the great minds that are at the University,” said Allison Scherer, director of R&D Communications at AbbVie. “This can help us think through solutions to some of our IT challenges that we might have when it comes to research and development.” Laura Frerichs, director of Research Park, said students will be involved in information technology research projects related to informatics, text mining and analytics software. Frerichs said the North Chicago-based company makes some of the leading pharmaceutical drugs that are used for various disease states or improvements in human lives. In total, Frerichs said Research Park holds about 90 companies, including 17 large corporations that offer employment opportunities for students. She said
The Senate Executive Committee met Monday to hear presentations about the proposed College of Medicine and coordinate the agenda for next week’s academic senate meeting. The committee on educational policy voted in favor of creating a College of Medicine on the Urbana campus on Jan. 26; a step Gay Miller, committee chair, said she is “very pleased about.” Additionally, the committee received a letter of support for the college from all campus deans, Miller said. The proposal is currently under the review of Pres-
out-of-state retailers, even if the company has no physical presence in the state. “I think any time you have a major player like Amazon agreeing to collect and remit the tax, it
helps with other similarly situated economic actors,” Karr said.

His study will be announced at the Board of Trustee’s March 12 meeting, according to Roy Campbell, SEC chairman. The SEC heard a preview of presentations to be made to the entire academic senate next week. The first two presentations came from Neal Cohen, professor of psychology at the Beckman Institute and Rohit Bhargava, professor in bioengineering. Cohen’s research focuses on patients with memory disorders, while Bharga-
va’s is centered on cancer research. “Our goal is to combine technological advances with health science research to help foster medical breakthroughs,” Cohen said. Cohen and Bhargave both support the creation of the College of Medicine in Champaign-Urbana, reiterating the benefits to University students and community members. “We also see the College of Medicine as a crucial training ground for our students,” Bhargava said.

S
ince 2012, the city of Urbana has been working on a three-part project for Boneyard Creek that includes aesthetic changes, as well as improvements to selective street and sidewalk areas. In November of last year, the first section of this project was completed, which redeveloped parts of the creek between Griggs Street and Broadway Avenue. This new park will also include such features as a concrete pathway, public art with historical references to the creek, renovations of a railroad bridge into a walkway, accent lighting, a public overlook and a plaza. Improving the quality, appearance and functionality of public places and spaces is something we encourage and support, as it tends to bring social and economic benefits to the surrounding community. What we also appreciate is when there are opportunities for the public to get involved in these projects and have a voice in community efforts. As part of the Boneyard Creek Improvement Projects, the city of Urbana has opened up a competition for anyone 18 and older to submit ideas for naming the renovated area. As reported in The News Gazette, Urbana city council member Charlie Smyth said the new name is wanted to indicate the location’s role as a park. As such, we have taken it upon ourselves to develop a few ideas of our own to consider for the new name of the renovated area.

From our recent addition of the new Electrical and Computer Engineering building to the upcoming renovations on Green Street, change is something that Campustown and our university’s facilities are constantly undergoing. Many of these facilities play a large role in bringing people and prospective students to campus. One of the more recent and more talked about changes involves the former Assembly Hall, or what is now the State Farm Center. Because of the many events it hosts, this location has always been a big venue for attracting people to the University. After the University struck a deal with State Farm Insurance Co., it was clear that our University’s beloved “spaceship� was going to undergo some big changes. I, like many, was sad to no longer traditionally call the building Assembly Hall, as I had always known it. I was also skeptical of how the so-called “good neighbors� at State Farm would treat our beloved campus building. After all, the building has been listed as an “endangered Illinois landmark� in the past, making it sound like the building would be destroyed or undergo some dramatic changes. Now, with construction underway to renovate and update the over 50-year-old building and more details coming out about the “Illinois Renaissance,� I know that these changes will improve a building we are fortunate enough to have on campus. This campaign seems to be about rejuvenating and re-inspiring the State Farm Center. One of the main reasons that I, like many, had concerns about these renovations was because the building holds a lot of special memories for me. I remember my parents taking me to different events at Assembly Hall growing up. Seeing basketball games and shows at this venue when I was younger, or working the concession stands to raise money for one of my class trips are special experiences that I had in this building. My positive experiences there are part of what made me decide to come to the University. Alumni and current students that I know have also had many memorable experiences in this venue. By looking at the impact the State Farm Center had on me growing up, it’s clear that its service extends beyond University students. This sort of outreach is something that other buildings with smaller spaces can’t seem to quite match. The ability to host different high school tournaments and events for activities like basketball and wrestling not only gives small high schools like mine an opportunity to play in an NCAA facility, but it entices students and familiarizes them with the campus. To those who live in central Illinois especially, the State Farm Center is more than a multipurpose arena; it’s a window to the world. Thanks to the size and structure of this building, our campus has been able to attract big performances that may not have come to this area. Huge artists such as U2, Kanye West, Pearl Jam, Ludacris and Elton John have played this venue, giving our campus a first row seat to some of the biggest musical acts in history. So as the renovations continue, even though we can’t currently use the State Farm Center for certain events, I think we should look toward the future. No matter how difficult or sad it might be to see something special change, we have to remember to look on the bright side. When all we can see are forklifts and construction on the outside, it’s easy to forget the unique changes going on inside. Better seating, more concessions, WiFi and other improvements are all planned. I think many of us could agree that these will help make experiences at the State Farm Center much more enjoyable. However aggravating or disappointing the hiatus on these concerts and shows may be, I think it is important to remember that these changes will only improve future events to be held there. The renovations will allow us to have a state-of-the-art facility to compliment the world-class entertainment it provides. Much like the lesson taught in “Toy Story 3,� sometimes we have to let go of things we love so that they may have a better future. When the construction is complete, the building may appear vastly different on the inside, however its purpose will remain the same, just as it always has. For all of the events that it has hosted and memories that it has helped make, the State Farm Center is definitely a building deserving of an innovative face-lift.
Swanson Park
As a comical ode to one of America’s favorite TV characters, Ron Swanson from “Parks and Recreation,� we felt this name would be a fitting combination of actor Nick Offerman — a devoted and generous University alum — and his character’s work as director of the parks and recreation department. Ebert Park
In honor of the late and great Urbana native, Roger Ebert, another potential idea would be to name the park after someone with roots in the local community. From growing up in the area to attending the University, Roger Ebert left a legacy behind that is worth commemorating. Big Grove Park
Another way to name the park is by looking back at some of its historical roots. Once upon a time, this local area used to be known as Big Grove, where the land by the trees was farmed, and it was the first settlement in the area. As Big Grove got larger, Champaign County was formed, and Urbana eventually followed.

Commercials should be used as PSAs REBECCA KAPOLNEK Opinions columnist
On
Sunday night, the nation was huddled around TVs, eating wings, drinking beer and fighting over which team would take home the Super Bowl ring. The game was the main focus of the evening and the victorious New England Patriots were the talk of the night. However, I believe that some of the commercials playing during the breaks deserve as much attention as the game itself. Super Bowl ads are infamous for being extra creative, funny and exciting. I know there have been years I watched the Super Bowl for the sole purpose of seeing the ads. However, this year, one commercial shook the nation, delivering a very serious message. This commercial served as a public service announcement for a campaign against domestic violence and sexual assault, and its popular introduction stresses the importance for more commercials to appear with similar messages in our mainstream media. I first saw the surprising
commercial before it aired on TV, when I was scrolling through my Facebook on Saturday. It portrays a woman dialing 911, but instead of outwardly reporting an emergency, she tried to order a pizza. As you continue to watch, you see the woman ignoring the dispatcher, who was warning her that you cannot order pizza from 911, and she kept on with her “order.� Her persistence made it very clear to viewers and the dispatcher that she was a victim of abuse and was creatively trying to get an officer to come her way, especially when the dispatcher asks if there is “someone else in the room with you?� The national “It’s On Us� campaign against sexual assault comes to mind as presenting a similar issue — an initiative that our campus is becoming a part of. Commercials and PSAs tailored toward the issues of sexual assault or domestic violence deserve more attention in television ads. Far too often, we see commercials with little to no meaning other than to sell something to promote a product or event. Media today is such a broad entity and reaches so many people that the entertainment industry should instead take
advantage of the wide viewership and air more PSAs about the serious problems in our nation, such as sexual assault and domestic violence. Roughly 114.5 million people in the United States watched the Super Bowl on Sunday. While I do realize that the Super Bowl might be considered an extreme night for TV, there are statistics to prove that Americans are attached to their TVs throughout the entire year. With 99 percent of households having at least one television and the average adult spending about five hours watching TV every single day, we can see that millions of Americans own a TV and use it pretty consistently. Because of this, companies fight for screen time to promote their products, but PSAs draw in attention by shocking audiences and leaving them thinking, which helps make their message effective. If there were more PSAs about these issues and fewer pointless sale commercials, more Americans might be aware of the issues plaguing our society. I believe if people were exposed to these messages more frequently, they would see how unfortunately common certain issues are and would be more inclined to take action.
In the case of the domestic violence Super Bowl commercial, I believe it shook people up in a way they were not expecting. After I saw it for the first time, I was overcome with emotions, thinking about all the people I know who have suffered from domestic violence or sexual assault. I was also thinking, “Would I have thought to do something like that if I was in her shoes?� I believe a PSA like this not only serves a great message about supporting those we love who have suffered from violence or sexual assault, but it also is a wakeup call to people who have not thought about it before. We need to remember how powerful our media is and use this to our advantage when deciding what airs. While this Super Bowl Sunday was a great time to spend with friends and fighting over which team should win, something even more important aired on TV that night. PSA commercials need to be aired on TV more than they already are to aid in the awareness of some of today’s worst societal issues and push people to spring into action.

Thai food, Pho combo joins Green Street fare BY MADDIE GALASSI STAFF WRITER
Green Street welcomed Pho CafĂŠ & Thai Kitchen, a Thai restaurant serving a wide variety of unique dishes, during a quiet opening over winter break. The new cafĂŠ, located at 611-B E. Green St., officially opened on Dec. 22 by three first-time restaurant owners. Souphaphone Soutchay, who along with her husband, Seng Soutchay, coowns Pho CafĂŠ. The couple opened the restaurant with business partner, Sonchai Pounginjai, due to a craving for something new in their lives. “My husband and I have been in the jewelry business since 2001 and wanted a new adventure,â€? Souphaphone said. “My husband saw this place for sale, so that was it for us. My partner (Pounginjai) worked for the Champaign Country Club for over 20 years, so he knows the food business. We knew that if we partnered with him we could
be successful.� The business marks the fourth and latest addition to Campustown Thai restuarants, including Basil Thai, Bangkok Thai and the Y-Eatery. In addition to dine-in, customers can also pick up their orders or place an order for delivery. For appetizers, the restaurant has a variety of rolls, crab rangoon, chicken satay and deep-fried tofu. It also has three different kinds of soups, including chicken-based Tom Yum Gai and Tom Kha Gai and a shrimp-based soup called Tom Yum Goong. Despite the Thai theme to the majority of the menu, Souphaphone said the restaurant specializes in the cuisine it is named after, Pho, which is a Vietnamese soup. “We make a beef broth and simmer it for at least eight hours. Once that’s done, we use fresh noodles and incorporate different kinds of meat. To garnish it we have both white and

green onions,â€? Souphaphone said. The cafe offers Pho with beef, chicken, barbecue duck, barbecue pork, and shrimp and crabmeat. Souphaphone explained that Pho has been the restaurant’s most popular dish since its opening. For those who prefer their food to have a kick, Pho CafĂŠ has a wide variety of spicy dishes, according to Souphaphone. Pad KaPow is a spicy Thai basil stir-fry, while Pad Ma Kua Yao is a spicy eggplant stirfry. A selection of fried rice is also available. “We can adjust the spiciness of a dish,â€? Souphaphone said. “Nobody is ever going to walk out the door saying ‘I can’t eat,’ because we can always adjust. Even people who haven’t tried Thai food should try it.â€? An assortment of Thai drinks are also offered, including Thai iced tea with milk or lime, Thai iced coffee, soy bean milk and coconut juice. “I heard it was good from someone else, so I decided to try it for myself,â€? said Katie Domines, senior in AHS, who was eating at the restaurant for the first time Jan. 27. “I don’t eat Thai food often, but I would come again.â€? In addition to Pho, the restaurant offers curry and different types of Thai noodles. As far as entrees, Pad Ped, a Thai stir-fry with curry, ginger stirfry, cashew-nut stir-fry, and Khao Mon Gai (chicken with rice), are among the many dishes offered on the menu.
Pho CafÊ & Thai Kitchen, located at 611-B E. Green St., is one of Champaign’s newest Thai restaurants after opening in late December.

the “asteroid,� the bowl with the mosaic in it, is what they call miasma, which basically means life form from elsewhere, and it’s going to explode on earth. But it also is about a prairie wildflower that’s indigenous to the Illinois region, Prairie Smoke. (Asteray) has beautiful tendrils that stick straight up into the air like that flower.
BECK for future researchers at the University of Illinois. In brainstorming this design, I was inspired by extensive communications with ECE Professor John Michael Dallesasse. I couldn’t have done it without the help of Dallesasse. I had five different sketches of what I wanted to create, and I would bounce my ideas off of him, and he would give me feedback as to whether that was appropriate to what was being studied at the U of I. He would go at lengths to explain these concepts.
DI: What was the process of creating “Amplifiers�? How did you turn just an idea about the College of Engineering’s history into a finished product? NB: Specifically the process
for “Amplifiers,� I create sketches while I’m doing research on a concept that’s specific to the site, and from those sketches, I will get feedback from key players as to what’s most appropriate for the site. We call that sitespecific in public art world. Ultimately, I’m most interested in creating things that are site-specific. Then, from the sketches, I do a two-scale maquette, a French word for scale model, just a small version of what I’m thinking of, and then I work out all the kinks and logistics about how the thing is actually going to be built. Then, when the maquette was accepted by U of I as a final sculpture, I went to my fabricator, I chose a fabricator for that particular project. Usually I make them myself, but this time I was able to hire a reputable manufacturer to do the build-
ing. They took my maquette and translated it into CADs (computer aided designs), and then those materials could be self-contracted. ... Once you have those CADs in hand, they’re upscaled from the maquette. ... It starts with some research and some sketches, which grow into the maquette, then it goes to the fabricator for CADs.
DI: Do you think this is what sets you apart from other artists — your work to make something that isn’t just beautiful but meaningful as well? NB: I think a lot of artists
still work intuitively, based on modern art paradigms. That particularly is true in the sculpture world. My stuff is definitely conceptually based, and it’s very important that it be site-specific. Those things set me apart, definitely. That’s why I won the commission. When you have to do a formal proposal in front of an art committee, there’s a room full of key players, and there’s a dozen of them, you have to talk about your concept and how you’re going to build it. They’re interested in something that’s going to resonate with the site and the community. Those are the important things. I like to think that that does set my work apart from others.
DI: Did your other sculpture in the area, “Asteray,� have a deeper meaning as well? NB: Yes, a lot of my forms have multiple meanings, and that particular one has a dual-meaning. It’s supposed to be an asteroid that’s just prior to earthly impact, and in

That piece is not site-specific. I made that piece in the studio, and it’s an independent sculpture that actually has been leased by the City of Urbana. After that lease is over, it will travel somewhere. It’s a traveling piece. It’s a vagabond piece. ... This is what I want to do: site-specific. In the past I’ve just made sculptures that vagabond around on leases, on expeditions, in Indiana, Missouri, Chicago. But this U of I sculpture is really important.

No Comment performs at the Midwest Quarterfinal of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella competition, which the group won, on Jan. 24.
After winning Midwest quarterfinals, No Comment a cappella turns to the semifinals BY STEPHANIE KIM STAFF WRITER
embers of No Comment have had a noteworthy January. From performing in a room of seasoned politicians and professionals at the Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield on Jan. 12 to winning the Midwest Quarterfinals of the International Championship of Collegiate A Capella just 12 days later, the group is hoping to continue its early success throughout 2015. After failing to make it past the quarterfinals last year, the victory is especially meaningful because it marks the growth of No Comment as a competitor, said James Fletcher, public relations manager for the registered student organization and an employee of Illini Media. “When I first joined (two years ago), I remember asking myself, ‘Who’s the best a cappella group on campus?’ And now, the conversation has switched to, ‘Is No Comment the best a cappella group in Illinois?’ � said Fletcher, junior in Media. But the victory gives the group the chance to go beyond the competitive realm of Illinois; it gives them the opportunity to prove it is the best a cappella group in the entire Midwest at the semifinals on March 14 — a challenge, Max Antman, executive manager of No Comment and senior in LAS, calls a “whole different animal.� “It’s going to be a lot of work if we really
want to get there and sound like we deserve to be there,� he said. And it is this mentality that secured the victory against the nine other Midwest groups at the quarterfinals, Antman added. “We just did our best and hoped that it was enough to win,� he said. “We never assume that we’re going to get anything.� To get into this mindset, the members gathered into an “inspirational huddle� to calm their nerves and to exchange encouraging words before the big performance, said Lizzie Jassin, sophomore in DGS. “Max had us all close our eyes, and he put us in the place of where we would be for the next 10 to 15 minutes. He had us take deep breaths and said, ‘Imagine seeing this, seeing that; you guys are going to kill it,’ � she said. But what encouraged the group the most was Max’s emphasis on camaraderie, according to Jassin. “(I said,) ‘Look to your left and to your right and there’s two people standing there who are smiling at you because this is your family, and we’re all here together and to have fun. So use the rest of the people in the group as kind of a protective blanket if you get scared,’ � Antman said. And after the count of three, the group did its traditional hip thrust and walked out on stage to deliver its winning performance — despite the pressure of cameras rolling, the unfamiliarity of performing with individual microphones and having only a week and a
half of “real practice,� Fletcher said. The group preformed a medley of highenergy songs and heartfelt ballads, including “Bang Bang� by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj and a Jason Mraz rendition of “It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye� by Boyz II Men. But once their performance was finished, there was nothing to worry about, Fletcher said. Not because he was certain they had won, but because he was sure they had performed the best that they could. As for Antman, No Comment’s victory was no surprise. “Once they announced second place, I knew that we won — without a doubt,� he said. He said he even exchanged looks with another senior in the group before the group’s name was announced as a way to say that this wouldn’t be the last performance for them, which many seniors thought would be true. To end the night, No Comment performed “Finale B� from the “Rent� musical as its encore song, which was the perfect way to end the competition, Fletcher said. “The fact that it’s about a group of people who love each other really resonates well because that is exactly what No Comment is,� he said. “We’re all best friends and we all worked really hard.�

Chicago artist discusses her latest C-U sculptures ‘Amplifers,’ ‘Asteray’ BY SARAH FOSTER STAFF WRITER
The products of Nicole Beck’s creative mind have decorated the ChampaignUrbana area for four years. Sculptures “Asteray,� “Astroterra� and “Foxgloves� stand tall in the community for art-enthusiasts and simple spectators alike, while another sculpture, “Amplifiers,� installed last fall in front of the Electrical and Computer Engineering building, welcomes students as they enter the campus facility. “Asteray� is currently featured at the Urbana Free Library. The Chicago-based artist, however, doesn’t just want to create monuments
of beauty. She hopes that all people gazing upon her work can take something away — whether it’s a lesson about the workings of the world or life itself. The Daily Illini had the opportunity to speak with Beck about her latest work and her art career.
Blue Waters — and people all over the world want to use that computer to do complex data computations. I want to reflect things like that — to think about larger issues of what goes on in everyday life, instead of just making something beautiful or slick.
The Daily Illini: What do you think the importance of art is in today’s society?
I’m interested in the spiritual component of understanding, where we lie in terms of the universe and trying to understand the spiritual and metaphysical implications of that. We’re just a speck here in a huge universe. When you go back to that first piece for Navy Pier, it’s about looking at the microcosm and macrocosm simultaneously and connect-
Nicole Beck: I think art
is always on that front edge of what’s happening in culture, and the best artists are visionary about what’s to come. (The University) has the largest supercomputer —
ing where we are in that paradigm. I’m also interested in how we relate to the environment and our ecosystem on Earth immediately around us. Those are the things that fuel my artwork.
DI: Could you give a brief explanation of “Amplifiers� and your inspiration for it? NB: It was intended to honor the joint discoveries of two of the ECE’s renowned Professors Emeriti — John Bardeen and Nick Holonyak, Jr. — and to become an LED beacon of their collaborative spirits SEE BECK | 5A

Illinois isn’t overlooking Rutgers as Illini try to reach .500 in Big Ten BY NICHOLAS FORTIN
M
STAFF WRITER
alcolm Hill knows not to overlook Big Ten opponents. The Illinois men’s basketball team (14-8, 4-5 Big Ten) has already dealt with a loss to Minnesota, a team that was 1-6 in conference coming into its game against Illinois. So when Illinois plays Rutgers on Tuesday night at State Farm Center, both Hill and the Illini know not to ignore the Scarlet Knights (10-13, 2-8) just because of their conference record. “They beat Wisconsin,� Hill said. “That says a lot, not only about them but our league. We can’t take any-
body lightly.� Although Rutgers has lost its last six games, the Scarlet Knights still have enough talent on the offensive side to beat Big Ten-leading Wisconsin earlier in the season. Rutgers’ offensive production stems from seniors Myles Mack and Kadeem Jack, who head coach John Groce acknowledged for their shot-making ability. “Mack and Jack, those two guys can really score the ball,� Groce said. “They have a gift for scoring the ball.� While the Illini will have the hardest time shutting down Mack and Jack, who

Malcolm Hill named Big Ten co-Big Ten Player of the Week
Illinois guard Malcolm Hill was awarded with coBig Ten Player of the Week honors this week. Hill, who put up 27 points against Penn State on Sunday, scored the game-winning basket with just 4.4 seconds to go in Illinois’ 60-58 win over the Nittany Lions. Sunday’s game was the sophomore’s third game with 20-plus points and his 19th game scoring double figures for the Illini this season. In the absence of starting captain Tracy
Abrams, and most recently, starting guards Rayvonte Rice and Aaron Cosby, Hill has averaged 14.6 points per game, leading the Illini in scoring (321 points) and rebounds (118). “He’s gotten bigger, stronger and more experienced,� Illinois coach John Groce said. “I’ve constantly been on him to mature and value possessions. He’s starting to value those things.� The co-player of the week award was Hill’s first and the first for Illinois since Rice received the honors in the last week of December 2013.
7. PURDUE (9)
The Boilermakers have been on a roll, winning four of their last five games and two of those wins coming against ranked teams.
8. IOWA (8)
The Hawkeyes have lost twice to Wisconsin in the past three games, both by 10+ points. Iowa also lost to a struggling Purdue team, 67-63.

Minnesota posts one of the best scoring offenses in the country putting up 77.5 points per game.
11. ILLINOIS (11)
The Illini have been alternating wins and losses since losing leading scorer and rebounder Rayvonte Rice in early January. The Illini are currently 4-5 in conference play.
12. PENN STATE (13)
The Nittany Lions dropped a nail-biter to Illinois Sunday, ending a two-game winning streak that provided optimism in the midst of a 2-7 Big Ten record.
13. RUTGERS (12)
The Scarlet Knights are having a nightmare stretch in conference play, losing six games in a row with a 2-8 Big Ten record.
14. NORTHWESTERN (14)
The Wildcats have lost seven-straight games, scoring just 65.6 points per game.
Illini can’t afford setback against Rutgers ALEX ROUX Sports columnist
I
llinois’ basketball season teetered dangerously close to the cliff’s edge Saturday at home against Penn State when it trailed 58-56 with one minute to play. The Illini avoided falling off the edge, but squeaked out a 60-58 victory in a game that demonstrated how delicate a team’s season could be. A loss to Penn State would have been a devastating blow to Illinois’ NCAA tournament resume. With eight losses already, the Illini would have had a nearly impossible road to an at-large tournament berth if they had fallen to the Nittany Lions at home. But Malcolm Hill (27 points, Co-Big Ten Player of the Week) was the hero,
the Illini won and John Groce’s squad still has a reasonable path to the Big Dance. They’ll face another Big Ten bottom-feeder in Rutgers on Tuesday at State Farm Center, and it will be another game where an Illini loss would be crippling. Each season, every team loses games it shouldn’t. Occasionally, powerhouses play down to weaker competition and get beat. Even Wisconsin lost to Rutgers last month (though senior center Frank Kaminsky was out with an injury). But Illinois is in “avoidbad-losses-at-all-costsmode� at this point in the season, and it’s in this position due to factors both in and outside of its control. Obviously, the injury situation has been unique and unfortunate. Tracy Abrams would probably have started every game at point guard for Illinois this season, but he’s out for the year with a torn
ACL. Leading scorer and rebounder Rayvonte Rice went down with a hand injury nearly a month ago and shooting guard Aaron Cosby has missed time with an eye injury. The Nebraska, Minnesota and Indiana losses all might have had different outcomes if Groce had a full roster at his disposal. However, the other part of the Illini’s current highstakes situation stems from some cringe-worthy early season struggles. If they could have maintained the lead they held nearly all game over Oregon at United Center, they’d have one less must-win game down the stretch. If they could have avoided an epic secondhalf collapse at Michigan, a completely different tone could have been set early on in conference play. And Rice and Cosby may already have been able to return from injuries to the court, but were slapped
with indefi nite suspensions from Groce due to what sounds like transgressions that were entirely in their control. But it doesn’t matter how Illinois has gotten to this point; what matters now is what’s ahead. Wins at Wisconsin, Michigan State, Iowa or even Purdue might be considered unlikely, and if the Illini can pull any of those off, great. But they need to take care of business in the games where they have a good chance to win, which includes every home game remaining on the schedule. We’re now halfway through the Big Ten season, with Illinois sitting at 14-8 overall and 4-5 in conference. Its formula for making the NCAA tournament is as follows: avoid bad losses and steal one (maybe two, but that might be a stretch) of the four remaining road games. So how do the Illini

They’ll have to contain the Scarlet Knights’ two biggest scoring threats, Myles Mack and Kadeem Jack. Both are averaging roughly 14 points per game, and Rutgers’ offense production drops off considerably as you move them down the roster.

Sophomore gymnasts make impact Following rough 2014 season, Illini ready to compete BY ASHLEY WIJANGCO STAFF WRITER
Sophomore Erin Buchanan looked to her left while answering a question. She spotted her teammate and classmate Mary Jane Horth messing around on a men’s apparatus after a Tuesday practice. “What is she doing? P-bars?� Buchanan said with a laugh. Appropriately, Buchanan made the observation upon being asked about what’s it like having not just Horth, but sophomores Suren Kanchanavaleerat and Sarah Lyons as both teammates and classmates. As freshmen, only
Buchanan and Horth had the chance to sport orange and blue leotards during competitions for the Illinois women’s gymnastics team. The other two, Kanchanavaleerat and Lyons, were sidelined with injuries and missed their freshmen seasons. Kanchanavaleerat, a walk-on from Vancouver, Washington, dislocated her right knee cap right before her freshman year. She had surgery so her muscles would hold her knee cap in place, but it required an eight-month recovery period. “It was a disappointing start, because I obviously wanted to get into things and compete for the team,� Kanchanavaleerat said. “But it was what it was.� Over a year later, the walk-on sophomore is back in the gym training, working her way into the lineup.
She made her Illini debut Jan. 25 in a 196.85-195.475 loss to Michigan . Kanchanavaleerat anchored Illinois’ vault lineup and earned a 9.225. Her score didn’t count toward the team’s event score, but she said it was still an exciting experience to be in the actual competition. The Saturday prior, at Illinois’ Jan. 17 home opener against Rutgers, Kanchanavaleerat received the opportunity to exhibition on the event, to get a feel for what the NCAA competition atmosphere was like. Exhbitioning is performing without receiving official results, and she said it helped her mentally prepare for her debut and see where she needed to improve. Kanchanavaleerat wasn’t the only sophomore to make her debut this season, though.
On Jan. 11, at Illinois’ season opener at Central Michigan, Lyons officially began her Illinois gymnastics career. It was a strong start, too, as Lyons took home the uneven bars title — scoring a 9.850. This came after Lyons sat out her freshman season with a torn labrum in her left hip. The injury occurred prior to Lyons’ arrival at Illinois, but no one had been able to pinpoint what caused it or the exact date of the injury. “Over time, it started to lock up, so then they were thinking, ‘Well, something may be wrong with it,’� Lyons explained. “The University actually flew me out to St. Louis to get surgery by the best hip surgeon in the country.� The recovery period was

Women’s golf secures Illinois Challenge BY LUCAS WRIGHT STAFF WRITER
The Illini women’s golf team took home its seventh straight Illinois Challenge title on Sunday in Venice, Florida, beating Illinois State 8-4 in match play. The day opened with four four-ball matches, where Illinois got out to a huge lead, winning three of the four matches, and halving the remaining matches. Coach Renee Slone went with a common theme across
the Illini’s pairings. She focused on putting youth with experience, shown through the pairings of senior Pimploy Thirati and freshman Dana Gattone, and senior Erin Ahern and freshman Grace Park. Sophomore Stephanie Miller and senior Michelle Mayer kicked off the fourball event with a thrilling come-from-behind win. They were one stroke down going into the 16th hole, but rallied to win the final three
holes after Miller birdied 17 and 18. Although she came through in the clutch, Miller praised Mayer for her strong play throughout the day. “Michelle had to carry me through the first few holes, and she had to make a spectacular up-and-down from behind the green on No. 16 to push even,” Miller said. “She was our rock and momentum-changer for our match.” Gattone and Thirati managed a halve in their match
with a birdie on No. 18 by Gattone. The final two Illinois duos secured wins, with Ahern and Park winning three-up and freshman Emily Joers and freshman Chayanid Prapassarangkul winning 3-2. The Illini took a threepoint lead into the afternoon session, which was a traditional match-play setup, with eight total points up for grabs. The Illini were led by Joers, who won her match
8-7 and Miller who won 5-4. Park clinched the win for the Illini with a 4-3 win over Illinois State’s Maggie Ambrose. The remaining Illini on the course piled it on the Redbirds, including a win by freshman Pailin Ruttanasupagid. Ruttanasupagid won in her afternoon match and Mayer also helped chip in a point in the morning session. Although Slone was pleased with her team’s play, she was quick to point out
that it was not perfect. “There were some spots we really need to focus on in the next three weeks,” Slone said. “We need to focus on some short game and work on and around the greens. We’ll put together a game plan moving forward so that we’ll be ready for Arizona at the end of the month.”

Crawford was missed not only because she is the team’s leading scorer this season, but also because she’s the go-to player to take a big shot or get to the hoop. “She’s kind of our senior leader and has that toughness and just made a lot of big plays down the stretch,” Illinois head coach Matt Bollant said. “That really hurt us in the Nebraska and Michigan State games, just not having her to make those plays.” Although Illinois lost its seventh straight game in Crawford’s return to the starting lineup, her impact was seen yet again. The crowd was loudest when No. 22 was announced with the starters, and her attacking style of play picked up right where it left off. Even after the loss, point guard Kyley Simmons mentioned that Crawford’s return brought back elements to the floor that the team hadn’t possessed during her absence. “You know somebody’s going to run for you.

Veteran Richards adjusting to new role with Hawks BY CHRIS KUC TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SAN JOSE — The introductory period has ended for Brad Richards. With the NHL season past the halfway point, the 34-year-old center has fully familiarized himself with Blackhawks teammates and coach Joel Quenneville’s system, so all that remains is to concentrate on winning games. “This is my team, and I know what the coach wants and expects, and I know
where my place is in the lineup, so a lot of the guessing and trying to figure things out is over,” Richards said. “Now, I’m just playing hockey. Getting to know the guys and all that, I can leave that part behind.” After playing in 982 games with the Lightning, Stars and Rangers, Richards signed with the Hawks as a free agent in July and is 47 games into his Hawks career. After a sometimes difficult transition to a new city, new team and new role,
he has found himself at home centering the second line with wingers Patrick Kane and Patrick Sharp. “Every day is better,” Richards said. “You always want to do more and want more responsibility, but at the same time I have to know where my place is. I can’t get frustrated with different things, so I just try to keep plugging away.” Richards’ days of scoring 91 points in a season — he accomplished that during the 2005-06 season with
the Lightning and again in ‘09-10 with the Stars — are a thing of the past, and he is now expected to work with his linemates and play well at both ends of the ice. “Brad had a real good stretch, scoring at a high rate for a while,” Quenneville said. “The demands of our centermen without the puck, playing in all the zones, the awareness to try to pressure and try to be below the puck in our own end, is a work in progress.” Though he’s focusing on
defense, Richards would still “like to put a few more in the net.” He has done that nine times this season but has scored only once in the last 11 games while dishing out seven assists. “I’m getting a lot of shots and looks. but for whatever reason I’m not putting it where I need to put it,” Richards said. “I feel like I’m getting to know Kaner, and all that part is kind of over with.” In the process, Richards can show NHL general
managers — including the Hawks’ Stan Bowman — that he can be an asset to a team looking for a veteran center next season. “I’m not really worried about a job — I’m pretty sure I can play in the NHL,” said Richards, who inked a one-year, $2 million deal with the Hawks. “The only thing you ever think about it is, if things are working, you just want to win and everything will always fall into place, whether it’s here or somewhere else.”

Hockey power plays bring weekend sweep Team shows resilience to end five-game losing streak BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER
KEVIN VONGNAPHONE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ James McGing looks for an open pass against Robert Morris at the Ice Arena on Jan. 24. The Illini snapped a five-game losing streak this weekend against Oklahoma.
The Illinois hockey team’s advantage in power-play goals is what made the difference in a weekend sweep of Oklahoma. The Illini scored one power-play goal on Friday and two on Saturday, while keeping the Sooners from scoring on five power-play attempts over the weekend. llinois did, however, allow a penalty shot on Friday after left wing Eric Cruickshank threw his stick at Oklahoma’s Cory Ramsey on a third period breakaway. But the goal had little bearing on Illinois’ 4-2 victory. According to left wing James McGing, a major reason Illinois had so much success on the power play was because the Sooners were giving them time to set up. Mcging scored Illinois’ last goal on Saturday to give the team a two-goal cushion, which ended in a 5-4 win. “It might have been because they couldn’t
adjust to our rink, but there was never any pressure,” McGing said. “A lot of times I would look over my shoulder worried someone (was) going to try to hit me, and there was never anybody there. It felt like they made it easier for us to set up our power play. We just outplayed them down low the whole weekend.”
Grumet-Morris filled in for Olen In the absence of starting goaltender Joe Olen, Zev Grumet-Morris did his part to secure Illinois’ two weekend victories. Grumet-Morris eased the pressure on the offense by making 27 saves on 29 shots Friday, but struggled more on Saturday, allowing four goals on 21 shots. Head coach Nick Fabbrini gave credit to both GrumetMorris and the defense for containing the Sooners for the majority of the series. “The defensive zone was actually really good,” Fabbrini said. “They like to set up a cycle and use their big bodies to create shots.” Illinois will be without Olen for another weekend. He and his brother John are playing at the World University Games in Granada, Spain, which end Feb. 14.
Illinois generated momentum with sweep
The Illini have struggled early into this semester to generate consistent wins, and Fabbrini is hoping this past weekend can build momentum moving forward. The Oklahoma series marked the second of three weekends that the Illini play at home. The team came into the weekend with a 2-6 record since the semester break with the CSCHL tournament less than a month away. Fabbrini complimented his team for its resilience after recent struggles, which included a five-game losing streak. He hadn’t seen a consistent effort from his team in a while, and it will need to continue when the team takes on division rival Lindenwood this weekend. “We are happy with the contributions we got up and down the lineup all weekend,” Fabbrini said. “All four lines scored this weekend. When we’ve got everybody chipping in like that, we are a really good hockey team.”

Manziel enters treatment facility Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel entered a treatment facility last Wednesday, according to friends and team officials. “Johnny knows there are areas he needs to improve on to help him be a better family member, friend and teammate, so he decided to take this step in his life during the offseason,” Brad Beckworth, Manziel’s friend and adviser, said in a statement Monday. “On behalf of Johnny and his family, we’re asking for privacy
until he rejoins the team in Cleveland.” Manziel, a star quarterback at Texas A&M, was drafted by the Browns in 2014 with the 22nd pick. Since he was drafted, Manziel, 22, has been criticized for his habit of posting pictures to Twitter and Instagram while out partying with a number of celebrities. After Manziel won the 2012 Heisman Trophy, his father notoriously said of his son: “He ate Skittles, drank beer and won the Heisman.”
GARY W. GREEN TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Warren Sapp was arrested on Sunday.
Four members of the Seahawks secondary could be facing surgery in the offseason — three who played through injuries in the Super Bowl and another who was hurt in the game. Coach Pete Carroll confi rmed Monday that cornerback Richard Sherman will have Tommy John surgery on his left elbow and that cornerback Jeremy Lane will have surgery to repair a broken arm suffered in the fi rst quarter, while safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor might also have
to get “fi xed up.” Thomas suffered a dislocated shoulder in the NFC Championship Game, while Chancellor injured his knee in practice. Sherman’s surgery is generally associated with baseball pitchers, and can require a year-long rehab. But Carroll said Sherman should be recovered by the 2015 season. “As long as Sherm doesn’t want to become a late-inning reliever ... I think we’re going to be OK,” Carroll said.

THE DAILY ILLINI | WWW.DAILYILLINI.COM
Columnist’s mailbag: God hates Illinois fans? than Bears fans. Every year it seems like Bears fans are ready for their team to be in the Super Bowl. Regardless of which crappy quarterback is starting or how good the other teams in the division are, Bears fans feel like their team will have success. Just because they are the Bears and they play in Chicago, the fans feel a sense of entitlement. I can see how from an outside perspective this can get annoying. From the outside, it just looks like a bunch of fans hyping up a bad team, when there are good teams getting less attention, but because they don’t play in Chicago, nobody talks about them. The Cubs are bad, but their fans seem to take losing as a point of pride (for some reason). They have been known as “the lovable losers.� I totally get how Cubs fans can get under the skin of opposing team’s fans. They lose, and they lose and they lose, and still have a smile on their face. Just like a less-likeable Rocky Balboa in the first Rocky movie, they take the beating, get back up and still lose. Except in this case there is no “moral victory�, there’s just more losses. The Cubs are kind of like Kim Kardashian. We all know who she is and that she is famous, but we don’t know why.
SAM SHERMAN Sports Columnist
Eliot asks: Why do Chicago sports fans suck? HEY WAIT A MINUTE BUDDY, I’M A CHICA... OK, OK, I’ll keep it together to answer this question because I think I just might have an answer. This was actually a more explicitly worded question, but I changed it up a bit because I’m not looking to corrupt the youth of America. I want to preface this answer by saying that I think Chicago is an outstanding sports town. Chicago is one of only 12 U.S. cities to have a team represent each of the four major sports. Aside from the big four, it has a soccer team, a softball team and even a roller derby team (Go Windy City Rollers!). While Chicago is a great sports town, its fans can be a little, I don’t know ... whiny I guess? I wouldn’t go as far to say that Chicago sports fans suck, because I am one, and needless to say, I don’t suck. Just because a majority of us don’t, there are still some that do. I think the root of the problem is that two of the city’s major sports teams are the Cubs and the Bears. Two franchises that seem entitled to success, despite the fact that they don’t have very much of it. No Chicago fanbase whines about its team more
This is like asking about the meaning of life. It has been asked for decades, and I don’t know if there is a definitive answer. I will try my best to talk through it and see if we can get anywhere. Speaking of annoying fan bases, Illinois fans can get a bit whiny. In recent history, Illinois sports have had their fare share of disappointing things happen. I’m here to say it’s all in your heads. Yes, bad stuff happens at Illinois, but bad stuff happens at every school. Illinois football has had a lot of misfortune in recent years. We’ve seen head coach Tim Beckman’s chewing tobacco incident, sideline interference incident, “giggle� incident and many other questionable Beckman quotes. Last week, it was strongly rumored that Missouri’s defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski would be joining the Illinois’ staff as a co-defensive coordinator. He was regarded as the nation’s top defensive line coach. It was thought to be a done deal, until he released a statement saying he was staying at Mizzou. This past season, transfer Wes Lunt, former Oklahoma State quarterback, made his highly anticipated debut. He showed flashed of potential, but still had flaws, and on top of that suffered an injury that derailed his season. Let’s see here, in the last few years, Illinois basketball fans have seen Cliff Alexander’s hat trick, Quentin Snider’s de-commitment, numerous near misses with
John asks: WHY DOES GOD HATE ILLINOIS FANS? This question was asked in all capital letters, so I present it as such. John.

A Chicago Bears fan shows his disappointment amid a loss against the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 4. The Bears finished 5-11 despite sky-high preseason expectations. top recruits, injuries, suspensions and in recent cases, a combination of a few. On top of all that, a rule was created because of a
questionable call in a game against Miami in the NCAA tournament ... WAIT A MINUTE, I THINK GOD ACTUALLY DOES HATE ILLI-
