FROM HALL TO FARM

AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI

Arena part of evolving corporate-univeristy relations BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER

ave Downey still remembers the emotions he felt and sounds he heard on March 4, 1963. That day the Fighting Illini played the first-ever basketball game in what was then called the Assembly Hall. The structure was the first arena built without any type of support beam to hold up the dome and at first glance, appeared as if a concrete spaceship had landed in the middle of Illinois. While Downey and his teammates were excited to play in the first-of-its kind arena, Downey was hesitant to the change. “I would’ve rather stayed at Huff (Gymnasium) at the time because we were trying to win a Big Ten Championship,” the 74-year-old reminisced. “But we were excited to play in a new building. We were proud to be part of that first game.” Players and fans weren’t used to Assembly Hall. Huff was filled with open space around the court but fans always managed to make the gym deafening. Downey thought the new arena was much more intimate, with fans closer to the players. Levels of people stood in rows that rose until the last row of humanity was met with the concrete dome that gave the arena its new charm. “It was fairly intimidating for the fans and the players because there had never been a building like that before,” he said. “People were in awe and it became a raucous crowd, like a concert hall.” But the opening of Assembly

tious to note why the change in name needed to happen in order to renovate the arena. “From the very early stages of this project, it was clearly apparent that naming rights for the building would play a major part in the funding model,” Thomas said then. “This agreement complements support from campus and our students while supplementing support from the community.” The $60 million, 30-year deal between the University and State Farm solidified Thomas’ attempts to renovate Assembly Hall. The company, headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois, would pay Illinois $2 million annually — $1.5 million to assist in the renovations and $500,000 for the naming rights. State Farm Center’s court was not part of the deal; The athletic department later decided to name the court after legendary Illinois men’s basketball coach Lou Henson.

That day was the only time his parents saw Downey play for the Orange and Blue live. They watched games on television in Peoria, but during that spring day, his parents finally saw their son play. Now, almost 53 years later, that arena which he helped open sits under a different name: State Farm Center. The arena has a year left in its renovations but already looks vastly different from when it first opened. College athletics, like the arena, have changed in the halfcentury since Downey played. While the good of the studentathlete remains the top priority for school administrators, the money that comes along with athletics and its buildings comes at a close second.

“If you want amenities for students and fans, you have to get into those deals with corporate sponsors.”

come as surprise at the moment, both parties agreed that the partnership was mutually beneficial. “Anytime you can be aligned with an international company as strong as State Farm, it builds the strength of our image,” said Paul Kowalczyk, Illinois’ interim athletic director. “It’s not just a financial exchange. There’s more to it than just the money.” “We’ve had State Farm in the area as a sponsor for a number of years. It’s an outstanding corporation that’s made its mark nationally.” State Farm has educational relationships beyond Champaign-Urbana. Education buildings at Illinois State University in Normal and Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington bear the company’s name and there

is a State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas. “State Farm partners with a number of higher education institutions and is a proud supporter of college athletics across the country,” said Missy Dundov, State Farm media relations in Indiana and Illinois. “We have a long withstanding relationship with the University of Illinois and the state where our company has been headquartered for more than 90 years. We are proud of that relationship and look forward to many more years.” While State Farm’s contribution to the renovation project was $45 million, the estimated $169.5 million project needed funding

Work left to be done with Illinois athletic facilities Illinois’ new athletic director Josh Whitman will have a lot of issues on his plate when he officially starts the job in March, but one of the main issues he’ll have to deal with is upgrading facilities. Although State Farm Center is in the last stages of its renovations and it’s been a decade since Memorial Stadium’s west and north sides were renovated, there’s work that needs to be done so Illinois can compete with other Big Ten school’s facilities. Whitman’s absence from the school has caused him to become unfamiliar with the status of Illinois’ facilities, but the new athletic director plans on catching up with the school’s playing and practice fields. “I’ve been gone long enough where I haven’t seen our facilities portfolio in a while, there was a time when I was familiar with it, but it’s been some time,” Whitman said. “I look forward to taking some folks around for a day, heading to the different facilities, examine them and start a plan.”

One of the first Whitman and his staff will have to look at is finishing the renovations of Memorial Stadium. Parts of the Great East Hall were renovated with the additions of concession stands and better bathrooms, but many believe there can still be work done. The major component of a Memorial Stadium renovation would be the south side, or the horseshoe. There were plans of a multiple story building to be built in the south part of the stadium before former athletic director Mike Thomas was fired. The plan included having the building host an Illinois hall of fame, a bigger gym for the football team and a better place for student-athletes to eat. The football offices will also need major renovations. Coaches are working in offices that are decades old and in spaces that don’t compete with offices around the nation. Illinois Field will also need a facelift. The home to the baseball team was built in 1988 has seen some changes, including the addition of lights in 1999, FieldTurf in 2008 and a video board in 2015, but Illinois’ run to the

that level. “Any athletic department with this level needs to continually looking to upgrade the facility,” Whitman said. “You always need to have a plan and should never be status quo with your entire facilities portfolio. We’ll put a plan together and start to implement it.”

TERRENCE ANTONIO JAMES TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Gov. Bruce Rauner speaks at a public forum at the University of Chicago on March 4, 2014.

Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed legislation that would have appropriated $721 million for the Monetary Award Program, MAP, Friday. In a press release, Rauner said the bill would, “would explode the State’s budget deficit, exacerbate the State’s cash flow crisis, and place further strain on social service providers and recipients who are already suffering from the State’s deficit spending.” Currently, the state has no budget, leaving colleges and universities across Illinois without state funding. The lack of funding has led to schools, including Chicago State University, to consider closure. In addition, the state budget impasse has caused the around 130,000 students in Illinois who receive MAP grants to face more uncertainty. In November, Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson sent an email to MAP-eligible students notifying them that if the state fails to allocate money for MAP grants, students will need to pay back the money credited to their accounts for the spring semester. On Wednesday, University students traveled to the capitol building in Springfield to protest

the state’s inaction on MAP grant funding, coinciding with an address by Rauner about the state budget. “Despite its constitutional obligation to balance the budget, the General Assembly has not put forward a plan to pay for these programs, whether through spending reductions, revenue or cost-saving reforms,” Rauner said in the release. Rauner instead advocated for the passing of a Republicansponsored higher education funding legislative package, which would appropriate $1.6 billion for higher education programs, including the MAP grant program. The proposed legislation would reduce the amount appropriated for MAP grants from the Democrats’ proposed $397 million to $373 million. In addition, Rauner supported the passing of Senate Bill 2789, entitled the “Unbalanced Budget Response Act,” which would give the governor special authority to reallocate resources and make reductions to state spending as the executive branch sees fit. Rauner’s veto comes a little over a week after President Barack Obama delivered an address to the state legislature stressing the need for bipartisan cooperation and an end to the “poisonous political climate.”

STATE FARM from other sources. One of the first things Thomas and his group did was venture out and talk to possible donors, like Downey, former Illinois basketball player Mannie Jackson and graduates Tim and Sharon Ubben, after whom the basketball team’s practice facility is named. Each made donations for the project to have their names inscribed in the arena’s history, but they weren’t the only ones to donate. Through a Freedom of Information Act request, The Daily Illini obtained the list of donors who contributed to the renovation project. There were 483 donations that totaled $18,388,560.15 as of October 2015. The rest of the bill will be paid through premium seating opportunities and student fees. The department took out a 30-year loan in 2013 to help pay for the project. According to Senior Associate Director of Athletics Susan Young, new debt was issued to fund the project and the interest rate for the bond varies. In 2013, students approved in a referendum to have $25 added to each student’s fee to help fund the renovation project. According to Edward Slazinik, associate vice chancellor for student affairs, the $25 will be part of the fee until the loan is paid off, about another 27 years. Slazinik made sure to point out that the amount students are paying is only 16 percent of the total cost of the project — the DIA is paying the rest of the 84 percent. No state, city or county funding is used for the project. Kowalczyk also admitted that although there’s been a good relationship with State Farm for the renovation project, he didn’t foresee any type of relationship coming up in renaming Memorial Stadium — funding for the south end zone has been explored for many years now and continued even after Thomas’ firing in November. *** The change in name from Assembly Hall to State Farm Center is representative of a growing relationship between corporations and universities. More schools are agreeing to deals with corporations that take away traditional names that students and alumni have come to love. “I think it’s been a steady

progression for the past couple of decades,” Kowalczyk said. “I remember when it first started happening, there was some backlash as to why this is happening on college campuses. But it’s a very common base and will continue to be so. I just think the economics of the industry will lead us down that path.” A report published by two University of Georgia students in 2012 examined the trend. Kenneth Chen and James Zhang noted that the Carrier Dome at Syracuse was the first corporate-named stadium in college sports when it opened it 1980. The building was the lone corporatenamed building until the 1990s. According to the report, the number of corporate-sponsored buildings increased to 38 by 2006 and the number has been growing ever since. There are 55 such arenas and stadiums today. David Ridpath, associate professor and professor of sports administration at Ohio University, has also noticed the increasing trend in name changes. “Costs have gone up, and we’ve made the costs go up. I think you would see many years ago when leadership would say they don’t want corporate presence on our campus,” Ridpath said. “Most universities have said they need this money now and if they want to compete for this arms race, they’re going to do what it takes.” Ridpath theorizes that athletic departments around the nation are taking part in needless spending. Although the investment doesn’t guarantee financial profit, it’s a risk worth taking according to Ridpath. Corporations are after one thing in these deals: access to potential clients. That access and branding isn’t only company signs placed throughout the arena and outside. Examples of the type of access companies want include activation booths where students fill out a sign-up sheet in order to receive a pompom. While not everyone who signs up is going to become a customer, companies hope there is a better chance than without the sponsorship deal. The report conducted by the Chen and Zhang couldn’t confirm that this technique is beneficial. After conducting a study with 548 college students attending a FBS school in Florida that examined the different aspects linked to

Monday, February 22, 2016

corporate naming rights — attitude toward sponsor, purchase intention of sponsor’s product and willingness to attend sporting events — the report couldn’t confirm the advantage of stadium naming rights in collegiate sports and recommended further research into the relationship. Basketball arenas are more likely to have a sponsored name because of the number of events they host. There are more home basketball games in a season than home football games. And it’s not just limited to men’s basketball. Many of the arenas also host women’s basketball games while some even have hockey games and concerts throughout the year instead of being limited to the schedule of the football season. This was the rationale for the city of Lincoln, Nebraska, and the University of Nebraska when they named Pinnacle Bank Arena. While the city owns the building, both agreed that a corporate sponsorship made the most sense during the planning phase. “It’s a revenue opportunity and all these buildings cost more than they used to,” said David Witty, Nebraska senior associate athletic director in marketing and communications. “If you want amenities for students and fans you have to get into those deals with corporate sponsors.” While some fans might not like it, the trend will continue to grow in the coming decades. More arenas and stadium will lose their traditional names to corporate ones. But in the end, Ridpath

Memorial Stadium: In the fall of 2005, the University announced that renovations worth $121 million would be conducted on the west and north sides of the stadium. Construction began at the end of the 2005 football season and the renovation was completed days before the start of the 2008 season. Among the changes made to the west side was the addition of luxury suites, indoor and outdoor club areas, and a refurbishment of concourses. An outdoor club space called the Colonnades Club was added under the west balcony. A three-level structure was built to

house two floors of suites and an indoor club space and one level for the media press box and gamed operations. The indoor club was named 77 Club to honor Red Grange and has 200 seats. The north end zone also got an upgrade with an elevated concrete bleachers that’s the student section. State Farm Center: In 2013, University officials announced that the Assembly Hall would be re-named State Farm Center. The $169.5 million renovation project is entering its last phase as most of the structure work has been done. The major change to to old bowl was

the addition of suites for premium seating. Twelves Suites were built along with Traditions Club, the Legacy Club and 144 Loge seats. The restructuring also include new concession stands, restrooms in the upper concourse, and Orange Krush club area and the move of the student section to behind the benches. There was also the addition of a new tunnel, new locker rooms, new scoreboards and lights and new entrances to the east and west sides. The State Farm Center renovations are expected to be finished before the start of 2016-2017 basketball season.

doesn’t think it’ll matter. “I think in general we really don’t care, we just want to see the games,” Ridpath said. “Honestly, I think people realize that the bills have to be paid, and you know what, we’ll get over. We have short memories when it comes to sports.” *** The name Assembly Hall still holds a place in Downey’s heart, but he isn’t bothered by the name change. “I didn’t think that Assembly Hall wasn’t a very jazzy name anyways,” Downey said with a laugh. “The State Farm Center is fine with me. They’re a good company and they were the only logical company to get the naming

rights.” Downey can’t help but occasionally call the arena “the Hall” — old habits are hard to kick after all. He knows that the name change was necessary with how commercialized college athletics has become and in order for Illinois to compete with schools around the nation. He didn’t want the University to tear down the building; there were too many memories and traditions underneath that concrete dome. He didn’t want suites named after him when he was approached about the possibility of donating. Downey wanted to keep it simple. He wanted his teammates to be immortalized

with him, which is why the suites are named “Club 53” — Downey’s school record for points in a game. The names of all of Downey’s teammates will be found on the wall of the suite. Downey played for the team that opened the building and his donation continues his involvement with the arena going forward. “Pretty soon people will forget about me, I’ll be some guy,” Downey said. “Part of the reason I (donated) at State Farm Center is because it’s a center for athletes to become good students and a good citizen.”

Future developers cultivated during 2016 HackIllinois hackathon. BY LILLY MASHAYEK STAFF WRITER

Cases of energy drinks and sleeping bags were scattered around the Electrical and Computer Engineering Building and Siebel Center this weekend as teams of student coders and developers competed in the 2016 HackIllinois hackathon. HackIllinois is a timed 36-hour technology competition, where students from across the country compete to create a technically challenging and interesting project, such as a mobile application that can use a cellphone to turn on a microwave. Katyayni Gupta, sophomore in Engineering and vice president at HackIllinois, has been a staff member since her freshman year. “Hackers have exactly 36 hours to build and make whatever they can possibly think and dream of,” she said. Rohan Kapoor, senior in

Engineering and director of HackIllinois, said they received a record-high number of applicants this year — around 4,000. “Pretty much everybody who actually said they were coming, has come,” he said. The team had been working on this year’s event since last May, and was hoping to make this year’s bigger and better. “We’ve done this twice. We know how to do the basics, let’s go all out crazy and … let’s make it really big, let’s put a lot of money into things like crazy projects,” Kapoor said. Students from all over the country – including as far away as Florida – attended the event. In previous years, students from Canada have participated as well. “That’s about a 15-hour bus ride (from Florida), so that’s about how much dedication people have for this

event,” Kapoor said. “And that bus was packed.” There were 1,500 hackers that attended the event, and 80 students volunteered. Gupta said the event was diverse because HackIllinois encourages all skill levels to participate, from “newbies” to experts. Bri Chapman, senior in LAS, has participated in HackIllinois since its first year, and thinks it is a great addition to the UIUC campus. “We really take things seriously here,” she said. “It’s one of the biggest hackathons in the country, and the biggest in the Midwest.” This year’s hackathon also featured a new open source initiative, which is an initiative to compile source code for free access and redistribution amongst the public. HackIllinois paired teams of four students with

an open source developer in order to help students build something that “gives back to the community,” Kapoor said. “The open source initiative is completely new and hasn’t been seen on any other hackathon,” Gupta said. While teams or solo participants had to register in advance to be eligible for prizes, everyone was welcome to come take part in the fun, said Gupta. “There’s also a lot of people who out of the fun of it come and join and make things anyways,” Gupta said. HackIllinois also enlists the help of University computer science and electrical and computer engineering professors to help judge the competition. “We have witnessed a huge amount of cooperation in our department in order to pull this off,” Chapman said.

The Black Lives Matter movement began in 2013 when three women created the Twitter hashtag #BlackLivesMatter following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin. “It broke my heart. I felt like I got punched in the gut,” said Opal Tometi, co-founder of the movement, during her talk at Allen Hall Friday afternoon. Tometi said that multiracial democracy won’t work if black lives “don’t matter.” Tometi, Alicia Garza and Patrisse Cullors created the political movement to call attention to the discourse that declared the present as post-racial. “Colorblindness and this discourse that said, ‘don’t talk about race, don’t talk about racism,’ was a way to silence our voices, silence our concerns, silence our pain,” Tometi said. “This was very acute and problematic as we watched the trial of George Zimmerman.” Tometi is the daughter of Nigerian immigrants and has been involved in issues of race and immigration, as well as organizing communities. She said while interpersonal racism is important, structural racism has resulted from United States histo-

ry and is the result of years of injustices. She cited research that showed half of all American prisoners are black, while black people only make up 12 percent of the population. “We have to look at structural racism,” Tometi said. Still, Tometi said the Black Lives Matter movement goes beyond police brutality and aims to include all black people, not just black males. “You’re either with the movement, or you’re not,” Tometi said. “You’re doing something, or you’re not.” Around 200 people were in attendance for the Friday Forum lecture series called, “Breaking Down Racism: Fighting Racial Injustice in the U.S.” Cashmere Cozart, junior in LAS, said Tometi’s talk of structural racism stuck out to her; she said the issues Tometi touched on can be seen in the “Illini White Student Union” Facebook page that was created in November. However, she said she was glad to see diversity amongst the crowd. “There was a good amount of diversity,” Cozart said. “A movement really needs diversity to be successful because different people have access to different places, ideas and input.”

Fans should not ignore sexual harassment by athletes ISABELLA WINKLER Opinions columnist

Feb. 13, less than one week after the Super Bowl, the New York Daily News released a 72-page court document detailing sexual assault accusations made against Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning nearly 20 years ago, an incident that seemed to be just a speck on the quarterback’s radar, but a life-changing event for the victim. In 1996, while Jamie Naughright was evaluating Manning in the training room at the University of Tennessee, “entirely unprovoked, Manning decided to pull down his shorts and sit on Dr. Naughright’s head and face”. When her boss heard of the incident, he urged her not to call the police. Manning defended himself by calling the incident a “mooning” which she just so happened to see. He also explained that she had a “vulgar mouth” and was one of the guys, so the joke should have been well-received. According to the documents, Naughright was told that she was “going to have to develop a tolerance of profanity” while she worked as a trainer for the athletic department at the University of Tennessee. But, despite her efforts

to change the hostile work environment to which she was exposed (she was nicknamed “Bumper” pertaining to her breast size), Naughright was not able to make an impact — not even on the actions of the star quarterback. Manning’s remarks reveal the reality of how women are treated by allmale groups, such as the football team to which Manning belonged. His claim that Naughright had a “vulgar mouth,” a comment Manning made in his 2001 memoir, “Manning,” eventually cost Naughright her next job at Florida Southern College. Since Naughright was seen as “one of the guys,” Manning was able to excuse his behavior by claiming she should have accepted the harassment as a joke. Now that this case is back in the news, with more detail than ever due to the delayed release of the court documents, Manning’s situation brings to light the relationship between violence and sports culture. In his essay, “The Triad of Violence in Men’s Sports,” sociologist Michael A. Messner explains that “boys and men learn to bond with each other through sexually aggressive, erotically exciting talk that forges an aggressive, even violent, hierarchical ordering of bodies.” Male athletes are taught that violence is a quick, easy and rewarding tool when used in sports, but it’s easy to imagine the

lines between the field and reality starting to blur. In Messner’s essay, he cites a quote from former NBA coach Pat Riley, in which he explained his frustration with the long break between his team’s playoff games: “Several days between games allows a player to become a person. During the playoffs, you don’t want players to be people.” There’s a cost to expecting players not to act like people on the court or field. How can we expect players to be well-rounded people when they’re being subjected to violence day after day? The media is discussing how this story, among rumors of alleged steroid use, will affect Manning’s image and legacy when he retires. Some fans may believe that we should just let the guy retire with dignity, but that would only feed into this culture that blindly idolizes athletes. Others may think ugly feminists are to blame for dusting off this 20-yearold story just to bring up trouble, but they are ignoring the fact that Manning never received any negative repercussions for his “prank.” The University of Tennessee and Peyton Manning may have resolved this case 20 years ago, but it is important to remember that Naughright is not an anomaly. As a society, we ironically tend to idolize pro athletes without holding them to a high standard: Ray Rice got the support of fans and for-

lack Lives Matter CoFounder Opal Tometi spoke on Friday at Allen Hall. She gave a lecture entitled, “Breaking Down Racism, Fighting Racial Injustice in the U.S.” Her visit comes in the middle of Black History Month and brings with it a stark reminder of why college campuses are at the forefront of civil rights movements of the past. In the 1960s, students played an integral role in the fight for civil rights. They staged sitins, formed organizations and marched. As in many political and social movements, the young people completing their education are ahead of the game in accepting new ideas and enacting change. Tometi’s visit keeps this tradition alive on our campus. It is no secret that race relations on this campus are a hot topic and that black students have become more vocal when making racial disparities a point of

conversation. Of course, the Black Lives Matter movement was already vocal before Tometi’s visit. There were a number of rallies hosted on campus at the end of first semester. But, having leaders like this come to campus sends a message about change, and those who try to stop it. “This discourse that said, ‘Don’t talk about race, don’t talk about racism,’ was a way to silence our voices, silence our concerns, silence our pain,” Tometi said in her speech. As college students, change begins and ends with us. College is a time to try new things and become familiar with new ideas. If you have not seen something from another point of view, try it. As your grandparents may like to remind you, you’re about to be a part of the real world. While that will entail getting a job and doing taxes, it also means you’re in the prime place to make political and social changes.

Take advantage of opportunities like the Tometi speech. Learn about the world around you to better understand the views of others. By educating yourself about the issues people face in the world, and the part you play in helping or hurting them, you can make more informed and enlightened choices. This is particularly important for movements like Black Lives Matter, whose interest involves issues that will come into everyone’s life at one point or another. Regardless of race, gender, or class, inequality is ubiquitous in society and students should be educated about the experiences of other people so they can better handle discrimination. Having an active Black Lives Matter movement, specifically on a college campus, not only helps fight for equality, but it also gives people the ability to learn about the experiences of others and grow from that.

Oregon promotes democracy through voter accessibility LEAH PEARLMAN

Manning’s alleged sexual harassment case is long since settled, but the fallout from his wrongdoing should teach fans to hold their idols accountable on and off the field.

itizens of Illinois are required to register if they choose to vote, but things are now different for Oregon, where the state legislature has just passed a bill making it so residents must choose to opt out of the voting process. House Bill 2177, known as the “New Motor Voter Bill,” automatically registers all eligible citizens of Oregon to vote. On Monday, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed the first bill to automatically register citizens over the age of 18 who either receive or renew their driver’s licenses. According to Tony Green, a spokesman for Oregon Secretary of State Jeanne Atkins, there are around 2.2 million registered voters in Oregon, And 800,000 more are eligible but not registered. He says this new law is expected to get half of those people to contribute to the polls. Many newly eligible students here at the University aren’t registered despite booths on the quad, some RSOs and other voices on campus urging them to do so. “I just don’t want to register to vote because I don’t think I am educated enough. I don’t know the process of registering, but it’s just confusing what’s going on,” said Brianna Ward, a freshman in DGS. “What they are doing in Oregon seems cool though.” The voter accessibility involved in this new bill is exciting, as it demonstrates what American democracy should look like. Automatically registering anyone in the state of Oregon with a driver’s license or state ID creates a bigger turnout at the polls, which is a good thing. It should be fairly easy for eligible voters to participate in elections. A federal law already makes it so that in all states one can register to vote when filling out their paperwork for a driver’s license. But, this new law in Oregon does it automatically. Louisiana

has a similar system for registering teens as they near voting age: they can pre-register to vote as they apply for driving permits, so that when they turn of age they are already in the system, but nothing of this magnitude has been done in any other state. A few days after my 18th birthday, I registered to vote online, and the entire process took around 10 minutes. But then, even though I registered, I was only set up to vote at my hometown polls. I moved to the University and had to fill out new forms to change my residency. What was a simple process became much more complicated as I became a college student. My registering should have been easy; however, it ended up taking a significant amount of effort. Other students may have avoided registering because they weren’t knowledgeable of the procedures or willing to put in the time to learn them. “I just never (decided to register) ... it never came up,” said Yoni Shapiro, a freshman in Engineering. “I don’t know the process of registering; I hear it isn’t easy. But I plan to do it soon. I don’t know like, how do you register? Is it online?” The more hurdles citizens are given to reach votership, the fewer eligible voters there will be. This isn’t a democratic way to go about electing any official. Everyone should have access to the vote, and Oregon has set in place a law that makes this possible. Those who oppose this new bill might argue that young voters will dominate the polls in Oregon with uneducated views and opinions. On the other hand, perhaps newly registered voters will enjoy the ease of registration and be inspired to educate themselves on the matters important to them. At its worst, Oregon’s new law will have little effect on whether the state’s residents vote in the upcoming election. But at its best, it will help create new voters who would have otherwise not been heard and make it easier on those who have yet to register.

Kanye West’s new album doesn’t disappoint JAKE VALENTINE Contributing Writer

hether you love or hate Kanye, there’s no denying that he’s one of the most influential artists of this generation. What’s so polarizing about Kanye is not only his unpredictable behavior that you can’t look away from, but also the fact that almost everyone has an opinion about him. He’s not just another wishy-washy rapper or pop star; he’s an icon people either adore or despise. Kanye West’s new album, “The Life of Pablo,” was released via Tidal, a music-streaming service, on Feb 14. And if you’re one of the thousands that signed up for a Tidal free trial this past week, which launched the app into the number one spot on the Apple app store, then you’ve also probably listened to “The Life of Pablo.” “The Life of Pablo” is a raw, uncut look inside the mind of Kanye West. From

expressing his faith for God on “Ultralight Beam,” to somehow claiming ownership of Taylor Swift’s fame on “Famous,” to the struggles of his relationships with friends and family on “Real Friends,” we hear Kanye expose all on this record. “The Life of Pablo” starts off with “Ultralight Beam.” While Kanye doesn’t have that big of a part on this track, it’s still a fitting opener for the album. We hear the soft words of Kanye backed by a booming gospel choir, making “Ultralight Beam” one of the more clean and pure tracks of the record. With arguably one of the best verses of the entire album, we hear Chance the Rapper flourish on “Ultralight Beam.” “I made Sunday Candy; I’m never going to hell. I met Kanye West; I’m never going to fail,” is a line we hear Chance say midverse, and it’s a fitting one as well. He’s become a successor of Kanye, not only for Chicago, but for HipHop in general. Kanye has curated an impressive supporting cast

of some the biggest names in contemporary music for “The Life of Pablo.” We hear him collaborate with artists such as Kid Cudi, The Weeknd, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean and more. A majority of the collaborations work extreme-

30 seconds will have your jaw on the floor. The only problem I have with this track is that I wish it was longer. On “Real Friends,” we hear Kanye say, “When was the last time I remembered a birthday? When was the last time I wasn’t in a hurry?” Lines

of the record. A powerful song where we hear the words, “Even when somebody go away, the feelings don’t really go away. That’s just the wave.” Chris Brown rounds out the track with his atmospheric vocals in the chorus. If there was ever a song Kanye is remembered for off of “The Life of Pablo,” it’s “Waves.” In contrast to all of Kanye’s other records, “The Life of Pablo” might be his fi rst album without a stereotypical arena anthem. There aren’t any songs like “Stronger” or “All Of The Lights” that will garner mainstream radio play. That most likely wasn’t Kanye’s goal and will certainly draw the line between the average pop radio listener and the avid hip-hop listener. While “The Life of Pablo” may struggle to reach the heights of its predecessors, it’s a record that was made for this moment. Kanye has essentially encapsulated the trends and sounds of modern rap and hip-hop into this record. On “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2,”

“While this strategy seems to work in the moment, whether or not listeners will hail ‘The Life of Pablo’ as a classic Kanye album 10 years from now is yet to be determined.” ly well with the record, my personal favorite being Kid Cudi on “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1.” We hear Cudi’s smooth and echoey vocals paired with one of the best beats on the album. The production of this track is second to none, while the beat drop that occurs within the first

like this along with, “Tell me you want your tickets when it’s game time, even to call your daughter on her FaceTime,” make “Real Friends” one of the more heartfelt and personable songs of the album. “Waves,” the former title track, is a standout

we hear the low and monotone voice of Desiigner, a style recently popularized by hit artist Future. On “Famous,” we hear Kanye talk about Taylor Swift paired with the vocals of Rihanna, who just dropped her long-awaited album that premiered on Tidal as well. Kanye seamlessly intertwines popular trends of modern day music in various areas of the record. While this strategy seems to work in the moment, whether or not listeners will hail “The Life of Pablo” as a classic Kanye record 10 years from now is yet to be determined. Overall,“The Life of Pablo” is one big, beautiful mess. The album as a whole doesn’t flow at all, and it feels like Kanye picked all of the songs out of a hat to determine the tracklist. Even though this lack of cohesion does hurt the album, it’s undeniable that “The Life of Pablo” is a stellar LP. If you don’t have Tidal, sign up for a free trial and take a listen to “The Life of Pablo.” Rating: 8.5/10

DREAM unique. It’s interesting.” That cohesion was noticeable in the Friday presentation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” As the orchestra played in the pit of the Tryon Festival Theatre, the opera singers performed Shakespeare’s story on stage, creating a symbiotic relationship. “All of the aesthetics on stage are really cool,” said Sarah Bales, senior in LAS. “It’s really funny. I like Puck; he might be my favorite character.” Bales said this was her first time seeing a work by Shakespeare performed live. She had read some of Shakepeare’s plays in high school, but she never had a chance to read “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Bales said she thought attending the opera “just seemed like a fun idea.” Xin He, a first-year piano performance doctoral student in FAA, also attended the Friday presentation to support her classmate Yichen Li, who played Oberon. This was her first time going to the opera at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. “I think it’s really a good opportunity to get to learn our student performers here,” he said. “Because they are students, so I think they already did a great job tonight.”

Contemporary twist on Shakespeare classic comes to Krannert

BY MARIAH SCHAEFER STAFF WRITER

Under the purple and blue hues of the lighting, a magical, tranquil forest transported audience members to a different place. Fairies, lovers and thespians roamed the stage, caught in their characters’ dilemmas. As they sang their stories, a classic came to life. As part of its Shakespearefocused season, the “Lyric Theatre @ Illinois” performed the opera “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” from Feb. 18-21 at the Krannert Center’s Tryon Festival Theatre. When Nathan Gunn, the general director of “Lyric Theatre @ Illinois,” approached stage director

Christopher Gillett, Gillett first considered how to adapt the material before agreeing to direct the opera. Because he had never directed an opera before, Gillett drew on his 38-year experience as a singer and approached the directing process, always asking himself what would make him feel confident if he were part of the cast of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Though the Lyric Theatre’s interpretation of the famous play, written circa 1595, differed from the original portrayal, the story remained the same. Gillett settled on a version that took place at an American high school in fictional Athens, New Hampshire. The characters

were divided into cliques, with Theseus and Hyppolyta as prom king and queen and the Rustics theatre group as “nerds.” The fairies were dressed as scouts, and this adaptation allowed for Girl Scout cookies to be sold in the lobby during intermission. “The important thing is to tell the story in a way that not only the performers will get and can relate to, but the audience too will understand,” Gillett said. Because of the mystical nature of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Gillett said that unrealism gave him the license to explore his interpretation of the opera. The production, from the opera

singers to the UI Symphony Orchestra, was student-run. Conductor Filippo Ciabatti, a doctoral candidate in orchestral conducting at the University, said the singers and the orchestra had to first prepare separately before they could put the production together. “I hope that all of these elements concur to a unique and specific, peculiar way of telling this story through the music,” Ciabatti said. “In opera, the music cannot be separated by the show, and the show cannot be separated from the music. That’s what, in my opinion, makes this form of art so peculiar, so

Love or lust: Students discuss relationships found at bars BY MARA SHAPIRO STAFF WRITER

Michael Hoare, University alumnus, met his girlfriend of two years at none other than the local campus bar, KAM’S. “I had seen her earlier at a pre-game and just briefly introduced myself. Later on, she was actually the one who came up and talked to me, so I can’t really take credit for

that,” Hoare said. “I’m not really sure what attracted her to me, I’m still scratching my head on that one.” Randi Clemens, senior in LAS, also met her significant other at a bar and has been dating him for the past six months. The two met at Murphy’s on a bar crawl. "(He) knew the friend I was sitting with and came and sat across from us to talk to both

her and me. I just thought he was cute and that he was really outgoing,” Clemens said. The idea of “love at first sight” is a topic that frequents fairytales and movies alike. It’s also a topic that Veronica Hefner, University alumna and now assistant professor in mass communication at Georgia College, has studied. Though many University students find their

significant others at campus bars, Hefner wrote via email that she does not believe in the existence of love at first sight. “I do not believe in love at first sight, but I do believe in attraction at first sight. Sometimes people can confuse the two. Love is a deeper connection that also includes commitment, trust and intimacy. You can’t get that in a

moment,” Hefner wrote. Hefner explained that people are attracted to symmetrical features and certain scents. Studies have shown that men are attracted to curvier women, and women prefer men with a muscular “V-shape” body. She has also conducted research when it comes to online dating profiles. “I did an experiment looking at online dating profiles and what people fi nd attractive. Turns out, people are attracted to idealistic statements, such as, ‘I’m looking to fall in love the moment I meet you,’ and this fi nding was enhanced by those people who already watch a lot of romantic media,” Hefner wrote. Hoare sees both pros and cons to fi nding a partner at a bar. “I think you can argue that meeting someone at a bar is just as good as meeting anywhere else. Drinking for couples our age is a big pastime, so if you like doing that together, you have already won half the battle,” Hoare said. “The pros is that it’s easier to talk to someone you otherwise wouldn’t, but on the flip side, it could make for an awkward morning if you don’t go about it the right way.” Clemens agrees with Hoare that a bar has a very relaxed atmosphere to meet someone, but that it isn’t exactly the typical scene of romance. “I think a pro would be that you’re in a really informal setting, which makes it easier to talk to new people. And I think a con would be

that whenever people ask how we met, and we say that it was at a bar, it doesn’t sound very cute or romantic,” she said. Hefner wrote that, more often than not, lust is found over love at bars. “Certainly alcohol, level of fatigue, and also how a person is dressed can all contribute to attraction. But most often, bar hookups are based on lust — not love,” Hefner wrote. For those who don’t believe in finding love at bars, Hoare and Clemens have words of encouragement. “I don’t think meeting someone at a bar should carry a negative connotation in any regard, especially at our age. Love at bars already exists because we all love drinking with our friends,” Hoare said. Clemens thinks you can meet a great person no matter the location. “I would say that though meeting my boyfriend at a bar doesn’t sound ideal, he is still an amazing person, and if you’re open to meeting someone at a bar, then you should try it,” Clemens said. Hefner believes that any relationship can work, as long as effort is put forth. “Any two people can make it work if they truly want to. It’s often much easier to choose someone with whom you are compatible, but no personality test on the planet can compare to sheer determination,” Hefner wrote.

Illini baseball drops two against Tulane BY DANIEL COLLINS ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

The Illinois baseball team nearly did something that it hasn’t done in over a year – lose three straight games. After dropping its first two games against No. 19 Tulane (2-1) in New Orleans, the Illini (1-2) edged out a 5-2 victory in come-from-behind fashion Sunday. “It was an important win,” said head coach Dan Hartleb. “You beat a ranked team and you beat them on the road, so that’s something positive. (But) I’m disappointed. We had a chance to win three games. We’ve got our work cut out for us over the course of the next few weeks to get where we need to be.”

Short-term memory In game one, the Illini held a 5-2 lead heading to the bottom of the 10th – they scored two runs in the top of the ninth to knot the game at two. Relief pitcher Nick Blackburn entered the game and gave up a game-winning grand slam. Resilience is one of the qualities that last season’s historic team (50-10-1) possessed. Hartleb repeatedly said that it was that characteristic that helped his team propel itself to its first-ever NCAA Super Regional. Hartleb is stressing resilience to this year’s squad. “It’s important that you have a short memory. Both during the game and then day to day,” Hartleb said. “Nick was probably as poor as I’ve seen him on Friday, then he came out today and did an outstanding job. You have to be able to come out and make that adjustment.

KEVIN VONGNAPHONE SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

Illinois’ Jason Goldstein waits to bat during the baseball game against Purdue at Illinois Field on Saturday, April 11. Illinois won 10-5.

From the bench to the starting nine Designated hitter Anthony Drago was an offensive catalyst this weekend. He went 1-for-3 Friday but knocked in a game-tying clutch RBI in the ninth. Saturday Drago had two of the team’s four five hits. Both those hits came against senior Alex Massey, who went seven innings and gave up four hits while walking three and strik-

ing out eight. The junior followed up with another clutch performance at the plate in the series finale. With two outs in the eighth and nobody on, Drago doubled to begin a three-run rally. Drago was used in limited action during his first two seasons. He appeared in seven games his freshman year and three as a sophomore – all as a pinch-hitter. “I had a real hard time

my freshman and sophomore year making adjustments as a pinch-hitter,” Drago said. “As a starter, now I know I’m going to get the same arm at least two times.”

Ranked opponent comes early On paper, Tulane is the hardest team Illinois has faced to start a recent season. But catcher Jason Goldstein considers that a plus.

“Usually, every year we have that one marquee series on the road,” Goldstein said. “Usually, it’s the third of fourth weekend so we have a chance to get our feet underneath us. This year, we were thrown right in the fire. But I think it helped. (Especially) with our freshman. They did a great job.” Friday’s game against Tulane had an outcome that Goldstein is not too accustomed to.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game go the way it did Friday night,” Goldstein said. “Usually when a team comes back and ties it in dramatic fashion and then take the lead, very rarely do you see the other team come back and win. But, for Nick, it was just one bad pitch. We’re still confident with him out there on the mound.”

Women’s basketball gives up 117 points to Ohio State BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s basketball set a record Sunday it is not proud of: most points given up in program history. The Illini (9-18, 2-14 Big Ten) took on No. 5 Ohio State (23-4, 15-1 Big Ten) in Columbus, Ohio, after winning their second Big Ten game Wednesday against Wisconsin. Against a power-

house Buckeyes squad celebrating its senior day, Illinois didn’t stand a chance from tip off and was dismantled, 117-74. Ohio State’s 117 points is the most Illinois has ever given up in a game; the previous record was set in 1991 when the team lost to Purdue, 112-49. Head coach Matt Bollant was in awe of the Buckeyes’ offensive output after the

game and said there was little his team could do defensively to stop the scoring onslaught. “They were incredible to start the game,” Bollant said. “They made everything to start. Give Ohio State a lot of credit because that was as good of a performance as I have ever seen offensively.” Ohio State scored 37 points in the first quar-

ter, led by guard Kelsey Mitchell, who sank all six of her shots, including four 3-pointers, to give her 16 first quarter points. Mitchell would go on to torch the Illini for 35 points total, going 8-for-9 from beyond the arc in 24 minutes of play. “With Mitchell especially, we just didn’t do a very good job of finding her in the first quarter,” Bol-

lant said. “With that kind of range and the way all the other kids can pass, it makes it difficult. Maybe we should have switched it up a little bit more, but it didn’t seem to matter what we ran defensively, they were just better than us today.” However, Mitchell was not the game’s highest scorer. That honor went to senior guard Ameryst Alston, who caught fire in her last game at Value City Arena and scored 39 points on a 62.5 shooting percentage. Ohio State finished the game shooting 62 percent from the field and 55 percent from 3-point range in what was its highest scoring output of the season. While Illinois did struggle to contain the Buckeyes defensively, the team did see some strong offensive performances from its go-to players forward Alex Wittinger and center Chatrice White. Wittinger, who has been battling a broken finger, started the game off by making all three of her first quarter shots. She would go on to score 21 points on 67 percent shooting and collect nine rebounds. White was not as dominant as Illinois has been accustomed to seeing her. She went for 19 points and five rebounds, but started to take on a larger load of the offense in the second half. “(White) stepped up and demanded the ball on the block and got some touches and scored inside, which I think she is more than capa-

Ohio State 117, Illinois 74 Summary: Illinois gave up 74 points to the duo of Kelsey Mitchell and Ameryst Alston leading to the most points the Illini has given up in program history. Player of the game: Alex Wittinger with 21 points and nine rebounds Quote of the game: “I don’t remember ever coaching a game where the other team was as good offensively. I have been doing this for 19 years, and that is as good of a performance as I have ever seen.” – Head coach Matt Bollant Up next: Michigan State, Wednesday, 7 p.m., State Farm Center

ble of doing,” Bollant said. “We needed a little bit more of that in the first half, but it was good to see that in the second half.” Bollant expects his team to rebound in time for Wednesday when Illinois takes on Michigan State in its last home game of the season. With just two games left in the regular season, the Illini are in last place in the conference, one game behind Wisconsin.

Slow start in singles play harms Illinois men’s tennis BY MIKE GASICK STAFF WRITER

Illinois men’s tennis head coach Brad Dancer was noticeably frustrated after his team’s loss to Texas A&M on Sunday. Coming off a 1-2 performance at the ITA National Indoor Championships last weekend, the Illini, dropped a 4-2 match to the No. 7 Aggies at Atkins Tennis Center. Illinois opened the match strong after being unable to garner a doubles point in its three matches last weekend. The No. 3 doubles pair of Pengxuan Jiang and Julian Childers broke their Aggie opponent’s serve and would not look back, finish-

ing with a 6-1 victory. At the No. 2 position, sophomores Aron Hiltzik and Aleks Vukic had a similar start — they took the first three games of the set. The duo would cruise to a 6-2 victory, giving the Illini their first doubles point in over two weeks. But Dancer said there was a lack of team focus after the doubles matches. The Illini dropped five of their six first sets, leaving senior Jared Hiltzik as the lone player who took a first set. “We didn’t show a championship mentality today,” Dancer said. “I thought our urgency in singles was really poor early on, losing five

first sets pretty quickly.” Dancer said the lack of urgency created a tough situation for them early on. Five of his players would have to win two straight sets for a point. Illinois, even after its slow start in singles, came back and showed some resiliency. Vukic, who is ranked No. 12 in the ITA National Player Rankings, took on No. 8 Arthur Rinderknech. After Rinderknech won the first set with little trouble, Vukic responded with a 7-5 second set victory. Dancer said that Vukic started mixing up his shot placement to move Rinderknech around as much as possible.

The Frenchman eventually closed out Vukic with a 6-3 third set victory. Junior Julian Childers took the second set against his opponent in the fourth but failed to close out the third set with a victory, dropping his match 6-7, 6-3, 2-6. Illini freshman Asher Hirsch had a rough start to his match at sixth singles. He dropped his first set, 3-6. Hirsch, like some of his teammates, came back and notched a 7-6 second set victory. His match would eventually be suspended after the completion of Vukic’s match. “It was disappointing

that we couldn’t get off to a faster start in singles, I think we’re better than that,” Hiltzik said. Dancer was pleased that his team fought back in many of its second sets but understands Illinois has to come out much stronger in future matches. “I have to give our guys credit,” Dancer said. “They fought and came back and gave ourselves a chance to win, but you have to give Texas A&M a lot of credit because they just played better than us down the stretch.” The team’s schedule does not get any easier, as the Illini will go against the No. 2 Virginia Cavaliers

Track succeeds in Orange and Blue Open BY WILL MOST STAFF WRITER

In the 3000 meters, Dylan Lafond, Ian Barnett and Jesse Reiser had separated themselves from the pack. Each runner seemed to be

on pace to finish just beyond eight minutes, when, halfway through the race, Lafond and Barnett stopped suddenly and walked off the track. Reiser, who was running unattached, would go

on to win the race in eight minutes and 12 seconds. While the stop may have seemed spontaneous, it was pre-meditated. The race may have seemed pretty unusual, it

sums up the weekend for the Illini. Many of the Illini’s big runners performed in a limited capacity, like Lafond and Barrett, while others sat out entirely. The meet was mainly used as a

platform for younger members of the team and those who are recovering from injury. “We had some really highend performances,” head coach Mike Turk said. “For a low-key meet a week before Big Tens, that’s a really good sign.” With easy in-state competition, many athletes found the success they were looking for with just a week before Big Ten Championships. Cam Viney took first place and recorded a personal record of 7.78 seconds in one of his best events, the 60-meter hurdles. Additionally, Mo Maat, who has battled injuries on and off this season, bounced back with a first place finish in the 60 meters. “This is a step along the way,” Maat said. “It’s gonna be a process to get where I want to get, and get back to where I was.” With most of the big name athletes sitting out, the Open offered an opportunity for younger members of the team to succeed. Reiser took first in the 3000, but he wasn’t alone in posting a strong finish. Freshman Konrad Eiring, who has had a limited role all season, took first in the 800 meters. Illinois also had success in field events, with Michael Hyc and Matsen Dziedzic taking first and second in the shot put and Blaze Galardy

With a couple strong performances over the weekend, Turk has considered the possibility of moving some pieces around after some performances in the Open before finalizing his Big Ten roster. The conference championships are next weekend in Geneva, Ohio. “We really try to keep things simple,” Turk said. “ We aren’t as stringent as a football program, but we do have a routine, and we’re looking to sharpen our workouts, but also make sure they get a little bit of recuperation.”

Illini women’s track and field wins four events BY JACOB DIAZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER

In its final meet before the Big Ten Championships next weekend, the Illini women’s track and field team claimed four event titles at the Orange and Blue Open at the Armory. Sophomore Pedrya Seymour was the first Illini to walk away with a title, winning the 60-meter hurdles and matching her personal record in the process. Junior Kandie BlochJones and sophomore Hanna Winter followed suit, winning the high jump and the mile respectively. The Illini 4x400 meter relay team ended the day with another win. S ey mou r ra n t he 60-meter hurdles in 8.27 seconds at the Iowa State Classic last weekend and matched that personal best time this weekend. “Coming into this race I just wanted to have fun and prepare for the Big Tens,” Seymour said. “I wasn’t able to PR but I came really close, so hopefully next week I’ll be tuned up and ready to go.” Seymour will look to continue her good form and try to beat her mark on the big stage at the Big Ten Championships in Geneva, Ohio. Junior Kortni SmyersJones also qualified for the 60-meter hurdles finals, and finished in fourth in 8.51. Bloch-Jones rebounded after a down performance

Renee Slone still values lessons learned from mentor BY BENJY SABITT CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Renee Slone’s eyes light up when she talks about the woman who had her job before her. Hall of Fame coach Paula Smith was Illinois’ women’s golf head coach for 28 years. Slone took over in 2006 following Smith’s retirement. Slone played for Smith at Illinois from 1990-1993. “We maintain a strong relationship now, I’m in contact with her all the time,” Slone said. “I’ll still go to her for advice and to get

another perspective.” Slone tries to instill in her players the same values and ideas that Smith taught her. “Paula is an extremely loyal person. People say she bleeds orange and blue and that’s true,” Slone said. “She cares deeply about this institution and its athletic department.” When Smith started teaching in the counseling department in the early 1970s, there was no varsity women’s golf team. She remembers it as being more of a club and would often help

Jody Davenport, the coach before her. Smith took over the program in 1978 and has seen it grow over the past 38 years into a full-fledged program. Smith’s loyalty for the athletic department at the University can still be found today. Smith resides in Champaign and closely follows Illini athletics. “I still go to all of the football and basketball games,” Smith said. “Win or lose, I’ll be out there cheering them on.” Slone said that Smith

taught her the meaning of being true to something, and when you make a commitment you follow through on that no matter what. When Slone was a player for Smith she accomplished quite a bit. She was the Illinois Dike Eddleman Female Athlete of the Year in 1991 and 1992, a threetime All-American selection (1991,1992,1993), and still holds the school record for averages strokes per round (75.35). As a sophomore, Slone finished in third place at the NCAA championships at Ohio State. Coach Smith remembers the feeling of seeing a player compete in a Championship tournament at Ohio State after doing so herself. “It was very nostalgic seeing Renee play at Ohio State,” Smith said. “That’s a very special course to me and seeing her play it so well, at such a young age, years after I got the chance to play it was something I’ll always remember.” Slone is one of the most decorated golfers and athletes to come through Illinois, but she’d rather keep her focus on the present. “I want every one of my records to be broken, absolutely,” Slone said. “I want to be able to help our team members achieve whatever they can and rewrite the record books.” When reflecting on her 28 years, Paula Smith found it hard to describe her experiences and relationship she

had with Illinois athletics. “It was a very special time, hard to put into words,” Smith said. “It was almost like a family, and not just the women’s golf team but the men’s golf team and all of the other teams.” Slone has seen many things change since her time as a player at Illinois, and more has changed since she became head coach 10 years ago. She’s seen some major facility upgrades, but said the biggest change is the recruitment process for coaches and the decision process for players. “The process of recruitment and college decisionmaking is starting earlier and earlier,” Slone said. “There are a lot more opportunities to get exposure.” Through her time at Illinois as a player and a coach, Slone has seen opportunities for female athletes expand. “When I was in high school I played on the men’s team,” Slone said. “We didn’t have enough girls for a team. Growing up I played in a lot of the Illinois Junior Golf Association events where I would be the only girl in a field of about 80-100 guys. “The number of opportunities that are available now for females, it’s exciting to see. Not just the quantity of girls playing is changing but also the quality.” It’s been 10 years since Slone agreed to become the head coach and her relationship with Smith

played a major role in her decision-making. In turn, Smith wanted to make sure her replacement would take care of the program. “I was very protective of the team,” Smith said. “It was comforting having Renee take over because I knew I had someone taking over for me that would be as devoted and care for the players.” Slone was working as a golf professional at a country club in North Carolina when Smith came to her with the opportunity. “Coach Smith came to me 2-3 years before she retired and told me about her plans, trying to plant a seed for me.” Slone said. “I saw this as an opportunity to have an impact on young people’s lives and helping them improve as people, not just athletes” Slone talks a lot about the opportunities for her players, and doesn’t want them to forget how lucky they are to be in the position they’re in. This is another lesson she took from Coach Smith. She has her players write gratitude journals once a week on various topics. Last week they wrote about a support staff member they are grateful for. “I want the players to realize how fortunate we are to have this opportunity, and not take that for granted.” Slone said.

Illinois softball wraps up 3-1 weekend “I am proud of the way we played against a very strong North Carolina team,” Perry said. “Their pitchers are top notch and I felt like we handled ourselves well at the plate. We also had several solid plays on defense that helped make it an all-around great night.” The Illini started the weekend in dominating fashion, defeating Boston College 9-1. Junior Jade Vecvanags (3-2) earned one of her two victories on the weekend, slowing the Eagles offense to only four hits and one run. Perry believes that the tone set in the first game really paved the way for the successful weekend the Illi-

DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER

The Illinois softball team is two weeks into the season and already has some signature wins under its belt. The first action of the season brought a victory versus a top 25 team, a feat the team did not achieve once during the previous year. Last weekend brought a trio of wins versus quality ACC opponents, including one against a North Carolina team that has received a few votes to be considered a top 25 team. Head coach Tyra Perry was proud of her team’s bats and how they were able to hit the Tar Heels bullpen of pitchers.

Defeating both Boston College and North Carolina, Illinois kept both teams to one run once again, giving up three runs allowed in the first three games. Senior Allie Bauch had a big week at the plate, notching a triple and a homerun, in addition to three RBIs. The Illini ended the weekend hoping to leave with a 4-0 road trip, but just couldn’t get it done versus North Carolina for a second day in a row. Illinois fell to the Tarheels 9-2.

The Illini could not contain the Tarheels’ bats after only holding them to one run in the first meeting. Perry was satisfied with the way her team started the weekend, but was not overly impressed with the note the team left on. “We started the weekend out strong but we did not finish that way today,” Perry said. “We have to continue to work on our overall game and challenge our expectations for ourselves as a team. Games are won by timely hitting, solid defense and pitching. We fell short in all of those areas today.”
