ulty. President Robert Easter said the University will carry forward to direct change on the issue. Currently, undocumented students can attend universities in Illinois as long as they have graduated from an Illinois high school, lived with his or her parents and lived in the state for three years. The legislation passed in 2003 allowed for undocumented students to receive in-state tuition; however, they cannot receive any fi nancial aid from the state or the University. Illinois is one of 18 states that charge in-state tuition as long as students have met the requirements to attend the University. In order to afford the cost of attendance, Valdivieso has to work and apply for private scholarships. “It was very stressful

Growing up in Chicago, the junior in LAS said he could spot some of the differences between himself and his peers, but the gravity of his illegal status did not really occur to him until he began considering a college education. “Being undocumented never really hit me until high school because then it was like ‘Oh, I have to pay for college, I don’t know any of the procedures for college,’” Valdivieso said. To help students like him, University of Illinois administrators and students have been working to change legislation to provide undocumented students access to state fi nancial aid.

Chinese dating show aspires to integrate international students BY MICHELLE REDONDO CONTRIBUTING WRITER
When jumping into a new American environment, international students may have a difficult time adapting. Despite the intimidation of this new culture, organizations like the Chinese Students and Scholars Association and International Student and Scholar Services try to integrate international students to help them have a good college experience. Martin McFarlane, associate director of International Student and Scholar Servic-
es, encouraged University students to look at international students as individuals coming from different cultures, rather than as one group. “To understand international students on campus, we first have to understand that a student from Korea is going to face unique issues compared to a student from Nigeria or a student from Brazil,” said McFarlane in an email. On Sunday, Chinese Students and Scholars hosted a dating event based off the popular Chinese television

Through online apparel sales, students and alumni have found ways to make pocket money off of the annual Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day. Kevin Alsterda, 2012 alumnus, manages Unofficial Shirts with the help of campus managers and current University students Saagar Gupta and John Vetter. Alsterda is the owner of a custom apparel company in Chicago, KRA Apparel, with one subsidy being Unofficial Shirts. Alsterda said he counts on his campus managers to “run the business” in Champaign. “They pretty much run the show,” Alsterda said. “The more shirts they sell, the more they get paid.” Alsterda said he only helps with building the website, logistics and supply chain management.
Unofficial Shirts has been up and running for the last four years and was founded by Alsterda as a senior at the University. He started out on the Quad with a pen and paper taking down orders. At first, the business was small and involved little pay, but year after year the sales have gone up, Alsterda said. He said the website made ordering shirts much easier. Gupta, senior in Business, has worked with Alsterda for the last three years and said the experience has offered him a real world opportunity in the field. “I have learned so much under him that now I have consulted over 20 local businesses and events and created two social media startups,” Gupta said. “It has been really cool working with Unofficial Shirts, and now I

Campus housing tightens up visiting policy for Unofficial BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
Every year, hundreds of college students will visit the University to celebrate Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day. Every year, many of these students will try to circumvent the dorms’ no visitor policies. And every year, local police will arrest many visitors. But numbers from the University of Illinois Police Department show that more nonUniversity-affiliated students receive notices to appear in court on Unofficial than University students. “It’s not their property, it’s
not their home, so they might not treat it with respect,” said Kendra Bristow, business office manager at Bromley Hall. Unofficial celebrations begin Friday morning, but from Thursday at 5 p.m. until Sunday at 8 a.m., University and Private Certified Housing’s visitor policies will change. Typically for private certified housing, residents can check in a maximum of two guests per night for a maximum of three nights, Bris-

Public safety is primary concern for Champaign police during Unofficial BY YI ZHU STAFF WRITER
The Champaign Police Department held a press conference Monday morning concerning possible safety issues surrounding Friday’s Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day. Lt. Jim Clark, south district commander for the department, said public safety is the biggest concern for the weekend. Unofficial is not sanctioned by the University, nor the cities of Champaign or Urbana, Clark said. The police department recommended that bars and clubs make parties small and know their customers, because people must at least 21 years old to be sold alcohol. Party hosts will face charges for any violations.
“More than 100 police officers will be working this weekend, the biggest day during the year, even bigger than the Super Bowl night,” Clark said. “There is going to be more road patrollers and the traffic enforcement is going to be increased.” Students may face punishment from the University for violations, said Renee Romano, vice chancellor for Student Affairs. “We want students know that if they need help, they should call the police, they should call 911,” Romano said. “Stay out of trouble and stay safe.” The Champaign Police Department will be also working on social media to publish information throughout the weekend.

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro stepped up his campaign against an “endless coup” he says exists against his government, ordering the U.S. to down-
size its embassy in Caracas and detaining a U.S. pilot. The U.S. will have 15 days to reduce its embassy staff to 17 people from 100, Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez said Monday at a news
conference in Caracas. U.S. officials who remain in the South American country will be required to obtain approval for any meetings they hold in the country, Maduro said.
The Senate Executive Committee met Monday and continued discussion on the Hiring Policies and Procedures Review Committee report. Eric Johnson, law professor and co-author of the report, said he wanted to be clear that Chair Roy Campbell and Provost Ilesanmi Adesida appointed the committee to write the report. “I don’t think any of us thought about being advocates for the report,” Johnson said. A review of the report was tabled after the senate did not meet quorum at its February meeting.

which is a possibility, but they can also express themselves and tell others that I am here and I am available and I want love,” Ma said. “This chance is very important for Chinese people because we are often shy and not daring to express ourselves.” Alumna Zhilin Guo, a contestant in the event, felt she was unable to connect with people on campus, and found it difficult to make friends and even fall in love.
“I hope if I join this, more people will know me, and we’ll have common hobbies and we can at least be friends,” Guo said. McFarlane said with the number of international students increasing each year, it is important to continue welcoming them to improve our campus. This fall the number of international students who enrolled at the University increased 4.3 percent from fall 2013 to fall 2014. To help international stu-
dents adjust, International Student Services offers social programs to introduce them to University culture and other international cultures through sports, food and cultural events. The service also has international students participate in the International Student Barometer survey to gauge the students’ happiness and overall life at the University. “The first four categories: arrival, support, living and learning all scored above

To enforce the policy, Bristow said additional security will be present to ensure students have their I-Cards to prove they attend the University. “We pretty much fall in line with what the University is doing, and what the University of Illinois is proposing for University Housing,” Bristow said. Kirsten Ruby, associate director of Housing for communications and marketing, said visitor policies at the University haven’t changed for the past four or five years. “We have a lot of students from other campuses who find that this is a good time to come down here and raise some trouble,” Ruby said.

STATE AID the idea of not being able to afford school,” Valdivieso said. “Especially not being able to have loans, because either I get the money, or I get kicked out of school.” Kristy Kambanis, assistant to the vice provost for diversity for the Chicago campus, is working with a task force to pass legislation to make undocumented students eligible for aid from the state. “They’ve put draft lan-
halls for safety and security purposes, as well as to protect University property. At 6 p.m. on Friday, the exterior doors to the Student Dining and Residential Programs Building will lock and will only be accessible using I-Cards. The doors will unlock at 9 a.m. Sunday. Ruby said frequently, these visiting students sneak into residence halls and try to sleep on the floor in sleeping bags for the night. “That’s very disruptive to the students who live there — it’s not fair,” she said. Alie Vahlkamp, a sophomore at Roosevelt University in Chicago, visited last Unofficial and stayed with her friend Lindsey Buckmore, sophomore in LAS. “It was the first weekend of spring break, and it was on my way home,” Vahlkamp said. Buckmore agreed that the timing was mostly coincidental and said Vahlkamp just wanted to visit during her spring break and the two events happened to be the same weekend. Buckmore, who lived in Presby Hall last year, said she and Vahlkamp didn’t try to get back into the building that night. While Buckmore admitted she could understand where guage forward for an amendment to that bill, and that’s been submitted for final wording,” Kambanis said. Amalia Pallares, co-chair of the Undocumented Student Task Force, said the bill is in the early stages of advocacy, which aims to find supporters of the legislation. “Undocumented students have no access to federal funds, and we can’t change that until there’s a new immigration law at the federal level, but state legislators have the authority to decide how much state
Nick Burbules, educational policy professor, said it is unclear whether the report recommends the Board of Trustees retain its authority to approve and reject appointments or whether it should be removed from the process completely. If the board is removed from the appointment process, the University statutes would need to be modified. Johnson clarified that the intention of the report was to recommend the Board of Trustees to be removed from the appointment process entirely. A resolution will be presented to the senate to clarify the recommendation at the Academic Senate meeting on March 9. Modification of the statutes is a University-wide process that would have to be approved by all three campus
senates before being forwarded to the University Senates Conference and eventually the University president. The committee also discussed the threat of budget cuts from the state. Joyce Tolliver, University Senate Conference representative, suggested holding a town hall in preparation. Illinois Student Senate Vice PresidentExternal Matt Hill said the student senate created a task force to address this issue and allow students to share their stories. Vice Chancellor for Research Peter Schiffer proposed a policy on classified research that will be added to the senate agenda as an information item. The senate will then have the option to evaluate the policy further.

new people and experiences. “(If You Are the One) helps people express themselves onstage, so there is a chance for people to realize ‘Whoa, there are so many cool girls and guys here,’ ” said Ma, who hopes events like these will expose the campus to a new side of the Chinese international population on campus.

Much of Unofficial Shirts’ merchandise has already sold out because they buy the quantity of shirts before orders are placed. Gupta said the company sells more merchandise every year and has tried new advertising techniques through Facebook, email, fliers and the illiniway Snapchat account.

Michael Defilippis, Gameday employee and senior in AHS, said the green clothing has been popular with students and expects the store to be crowded on Friday with out-of-town visitors in need of green clothing. “We have a contract with the University to not put Unofficial on our clothing because the University does not recognize Unofficial as an actual holiday,” Defilippis said.

Vote to improve CUMTD’s invaluable service
A
lthough many students are somewhat adjusted to the seemingly perpetual freezing Illinois weather by now, let’s face it: These last few weeks of winter have been brutal. Snow, ice and bitter cold temperatures are not ideal when walking to class. Luckily, students can, and do, bypass the inclement weather with the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District’s bus service. With the high frequency of buses running and variety of routes throughout the week, this is a service we much appreciate. But, like anything else, there’s always room for improvement, and students have the opportunity to make that happen. This year’s spring referendum will include two questions related to CUMTD service. The first will renew the bus service until 2018, and students would pay a $2 increase in student fees. The second aims to increase service to the College of Veterinary Medicine, Florida Avenue Residence Hall and Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Hall. If it passes, the transportation fee will increase by $1 to provide a more direct route. Students can vote on these questions and more online March 4 and 5 at vote.illinois. edu. We strongly support voting “yes� to both questions, despite the increased fees, and we hope other students will follow suit. In the long run, what’s an additional $3 — especially in exchange for such a necessary service for so many of us on campus. The fee already gives us unlimited access to the service, so if raising the price means improving it, why not? We’re college students — many of us don’t have cars, so the CUMTD service is a faster (and warmer) way for us to get around. For students who live in the farther corners of campus, the bus service is a reliable way to get to class every day. Adding another bus route for those corners of campus would also benefit our student body — there’s a reason Florida Avenue Residence Hall is called “FAR.� Not to mention, the buses are useful beyond just the campus area because the CUMTD service helps students travel off campus as well. This provides more opportunities to get acquainted with the area and enjoy the food, shopping and cultural offerings found outside Campustown. Even though those buses get crowded during these cold winters, we appreciate the brief moments of warmth and reliable transportation CUMTD provides us. As such, we urge students to check out the spring referendum this coming Wednesday and Thursday and consider voting to improve a service that many of us need and utilize every day.
Rave of Thrones: Exploring new interests CAMRON OWENS Opinions columnist
It
seems nearly impossible to escape the hysteria surrounding “Game of Thrones.� Our university does not offer a class or seminar on the show specifically at this time, unlike the University of Virginia, but I believe the spirit of the Seven Kingdoms is prevalent on our campus. From professors proclaiming “Winter is coming!� to sports announcers comparing one of our football team’s plays to “Valyrian steel,� it’s pretty clear that the show has a campus presence. I finally gave in and started watching “Game of Thrones� in all of its premium-cablechannel-glory last summer. I, like many of my fellow “Game of Thrones� fans, immediately fell victim to the magnificence of the character Hodor. In case you aren’t part of the on-average 14.4 million viewers of the show, Hodor is a giant-like character who serves as an aide to a child with a disability on the show and is only capable of saying one word — “Hodor.� Many “Game of Thrones� fans, or “Westebros� as I like to sometimes call them, might not be familiar with Hodor actor Kristian Nairn,
who is actually a disc jockey. Nairn has taken his naturally titled “Rave of Thrones� party around the world, including shows in the United Kingdom and MGM Grand in Detroit. Last week, he brought the Westeros to Champaign-Urbana by performing at the Canopy Club. While I am not huge into the house or electronic mu sic scene, I was still fascinated and perplexed to see Hodor get the Canopy Club (to quote songsmith iLoveM a kon nen) “going up on a Tuesday.� As strange as the event was for me, I think that Kristian Nairn’s DJ set was a good example of how exciting a wellrounded life can be. Nairn showed through his DJ performance that even though he’s an actor on one of the biggest shows in the world, he’s still quite interested in pursuing his original passion, music. In turn, “Game of Thrones� fans get to see a different and deeper side of an actor who plays one of the simplest characters on television. Nairn could have one of the coolest resumes in the world due to his balance of work and
play. He embraces his identity on the show within his DJ set, and because of that blend, he is able to draw crowd members who may not normally attend raves. In an interview with Detroit Metro Times, Nairn discussed his rave’s association with the character of Hodor saying, “I’m a DJ and musician to the core of my being. It just happens to be a great way to let the world see that.� I think this is a lesson we can all learn as students. Just because we may seem pretty content in one area of life, like writing or painting, does not mean we should not pursue other areas of life we may be interested in. No matter what your focus, job or major may be, college is a perfect time for us to find our inner Hodor. Whether you’re a student, king, or the Mother of Dragons, it’s important to balance and explore our work and passions. Living a well-rounded life can be fulfilling and can give us a chance to meet a wide range of people and explore our talents. It’s fascinating to see different sides of people, famous or not. Some of our interests may seem outside the bounds of our
No matter what your focus, job or major may be, college is a perfect time for us to find our inner Hodor.
college, major or even comfort zone. In fact, if we are able to combine these various interests as Nairn does, the results can be pretty interesting and unforgettable. I won’t soon forget the moment I saw Hodor walk out on stage and start laying down beats that were wilder than a wildling. As the crowd chanted “Hodor!� Nairn took his hands (the same hands that have carried Bran Stark through the Seven Kingdoms) and made a heart sign at the crowd. There is no shortage of love between Hodor and his fans. Who knows what other unique combinations we may see in the future from actors we love. Maybe an “Orange is the New Blacklight Party� or “Break Dancing Bad.� Maybe even “House Party of Cards.� I’ll leave the wordplay up to the professionals. We have such a wide range of organizations and opportunities available to us at the University that it’s very easy to try different passions. There are plenty of registered student organizations and events to attend and join offering numerous opportunities. We might not be international stars of a hit TV show like Nairn, but if we continue to dream big and explore our passions, we just might stumble upon our very own Iron Throne.

Fight face-to-face, not Facebook-to-Facebook REBECCA KAPOLNEK Opinions columnist
O
pening up the CNN homepage today, I was shocked at what I saw. A headline plastered across the page read “Teen Killed after Facebook Fight.� Being a young adult in this modern society, I have witnessed many a Facebook fight. From time to time, fights centered on gossip and boy drama fill 60-commentlong threads on statuses. However, one of these fights was taken too far when a 14-year-old was killed after agreeing to meet the girl she was arguing with at a park. Upon arrival she was shot by a man who is accused of being the other girl’s boyfriend. Just last April, Chicago dealt with the tragic death of two teenagers and evidence concluded that the violence started because of a fight on Facebook. These occurrences are happening more frequently than many think. Conflict is a major part of our lives, but is something that should be handled outside the walls of the social media empire. Conflict online is extremely impersonal and makes it almost impossible to see expressions and emotions. People need to stop hiding behind their screens and
embrace the power of a faceto-face conversation. Speaking to someone in person can not only save your feelings but it can prevent future fights by communicating what is truly bothering you. In the past few years, social media has taken off and new outlets are being launched yearly. In November 2013, Yik Yak, an anonymous Twitteresque application, was created, allowing users to anonymously post short blurbs on a feed. Oftentimes, these posts are about events and people on campus. Yik Yak has proven to be a serious problem on many campuses and many believe it perpetuates cyberbullying. The University of Illinois, like any institution, strives to portray the best image of ourselves to the country and, most importantly, to prospective students. If those students coming in saw our Yik Yak page, I wonder what they would really think of our university. By logging onto an app like Yik Yak, users are able to hide behind their digital words and say things that they might not say if they
were facing a person that second. This is the overarching problem with all social media. Social media was not created to facilitate fights, but it is intended as a way to connect friends and allow people to keep in touch even when they are far away. Facebook’s mission statement says, “People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what’s going on in the world and to share and express what matters to them.� While, arguably, many of these Facebook fights start because people are expressing beliefs that matter to them, there is no reason for these fights to get hostile. Nowhere in this mission statement does it mention that Facebook should be used to host fights between friends. Social media needs to stop being a dumping ground for people to get out their frustrations. If people were more dedicated to making Facebook and other social media sites peaceful places, we would not be seeing fights on these platforms taken to extreme levels. People of all ages need to
Social media needs to stop being a dumping ground for people to get out their frustrations.
pay better attention to what they put on social media, how it affects their reputation, the reputation of those organizations they represent and how their words could affect or hurt people who might see the comments. Conflict is important in all of our lives. It helps us with problem solving and tells us the true context of some relationships, and while some, including myself, do not necessarily like it, it is necessary to have healthy relationships. People fight, but we do not need to make these fights public and skip the step of talking to the person one-on-one. While we have all been guilty of misusing social media in one way or another, now is the time to stop that trend and start practicing healthy conflict-resolution strategies. We should start by talking through the issues we have with one another in person and vowing to stop the public fights on social media. A Facebook fight ended a young and healthy life. Clearly, now is the time to shut down the computer and start having discussions. Stick to using Facebook and other social media sites to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what’s going on in the world and to share and express what matters to you.

YO-YO my culture,” said Eddie Lu, captain of Special Ops and junior in Engineering. “It is very popular in Asian countries, especially in Taiwan.” Lu said Chinese yo-yo also taught him the art of discipline and patience, citing the many hours it takes to perfect a trick. “Most recently, I learned how to juggle three yo-yos at once, (which) took me six years of practice just to be able to do,” Lu said.

LAWYER the way I want to be,’ ” Beckett said. “Dick Thies is that kind of guy and that’s why the award is so meaningful.” When Thies’ name was mentioned to the other lawyers during a committee meeting, he said their reaction of approval was instantaneous. When Thies received the phone call that he won the award, he said he was speechless. “To try to express how you feel when anyone says that you have some of the qualities of Abraham Lincoln is just mind-boggling,” he said. “In fact, it still is.” But when looking at all of the community service that Thies has done in C-U, it’s not surprising he won the award, said his son John Thies. John and his brother David are both lawyers at their father’s firm. Thies’ activities include being a member and former president of the Kiwanis Club of Champaign-Urbana and Urbana Association of Commerce, a chairman of the Citizens Advisory Board of the Urbana School Board and Salvation Army Advisory Board, among others. John said he was delighted when he heard his father won the award. He felt Thies had earned it after all of the accomplishments in his career. “As lawyers, you’re in a position within the community that is held in such respect,” John said. “There is

would ask his mother to video tape the performances so he could watch them again later and learn the tricks. When Pao started his freshman year at the University, he began looking for a Chinese yo-yo group but had no luck. It wasn’t until he coincidentally ran into Lu halfway across the globe that he learned about Special Ops. “That summer when I went to Taiwan, I met Eddie,” Pao said. “We realized we both went to the same school, and I joined the next year.” George Cheng, senior in LAS, had not only heard about the group before coming to the University, but he had set out to find it almost immediately after arriving on campus.
“My freshman year on Quad day I came out specifically looking for TASC Special Ops because I heard about them by going on YouTube,” he said. “I started yo-yoing when I was in eighth grade. Then after going on YouTube to look for videos on more yoyo tricks, I found UIUC and saw they had a team.” While the performers get a sense of satisfaction from entertaining crowds and representing their culture, they said there is also a sense of self-fulfillment that comes with performing Chinese yo-yo. “It’s more like a cultural awareness thing,” Pao said. “For me, it’s a big part of my life.”

a real opportunity to make a significant difference around you.” Thies said he believes practicing law and community service go hand in hand and would advise every young lawyer to get involved in their community. “It’s a great way to get exposure ... and to see what your values are,” Thies said. Thies said young lawyers today might overlook community service because the profession is more complex. He said lawyers now have to specialize their practice, but in the last 60 years, he was able to work on a variety of cases such as airplane crashes, libel and slander at newspapers, personal injury, environmental law and international negotiations. Born in Scottsbluff, Neb., in 1931, Thies said he never thought about becoming a lawyer until he came to the University as a history major. “My family didn’t have a lawyer, didn’t know anything about lawyers, didn’t get in trouble where they needed a lawyer,” he said. “It’s a profession that allows you to serve other people. That’s your primary function — helping people solve problems.” After receiving his undergraduate degree, Thies continued at the University and studied law. Then he served on active duty in the Judge Advocate General’s Department of the U.S. Air Force for two years and taught a law class at the University. He said he decided to stay in Urbana when he met his wife Marilyn, local resident and University alumna. Thies
said that the C-U community is a wonderful place to raise a family and practice law. Along with his wife and two sons, Thies has three daughters, 16 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. But despite his large family, Thies still loves the opportunity to meet new people, and at the end of a case, being able to say he had a satisfied client that he really helped. “When you are starting out, it’s sure nice when that first client comes through the door. That was a great experience to think that somebody (was) going to come see me,” he said. Along with all of Thies’ community service accomplishments, Thies has been a leader in many law associations. He was president of the Illinois State Bar Association in 1986 and 1987, a member of the American Bar Association Board of Governors and a cofounder and former president of the Bar Association for the Central and Southern Federal Districts of Illinois. Thies even ran for state senator in 1964. With so many honors, Thies said he recently found a box full of about 30 plaques while cleaning out his house to move to a retirement village with his wife. For now, Thies will continue working beside his newest and favorite award in his office, which is located inside Urbana’s Lincoln Square building. He smiles: “Lawyers seldom retire.”

ties due to their gender, individuals stepping out of the norm and stating inappropriate comments are nothing new to women in the music industry. Alleya Weibel, sophomore in Music and violinist in Tara Terra, feels that sexual harassment is an issue that needs to be addressed. “I’ve just been to so many shows where people ‘fall in love’ with a singer but don’t make an effort to get to know them outside of what they do on stage. They just cat-call them and that’s it,” Weibel said. As a promoter at The Highdive for several years, Ward Gollings has seen the music world change with varying trends. He has booked several female musicians, local and visiting, and doesn’t think it is any more difficult for women in the rock industry to survive. “I don’t think there are only a few (female musicians) these days. In the minority, sure, but there are tons of local female artists in 2015. Twenty years ago there were far less by comparison, but there were far less bands, period, then too,” Gollings said. “A quick glance at the recent Great Cover Up line-ups and over one-third of the acts had female musicians.” Maddie Rehayem, music editor at Smile Politely and senior in Media, has viewed music inequality as a spectator rather than a performer. “I never really cared about feminism until I started experiencing it in my own life,” Rehayem said. “Male privilege and white privilege is a thing, and you can’t truly understand it unless you’ve been affected by it.”

“I’ve definitely noticed some passive and aggressive sexism since I’ve been a touring musician,” Groff said. “A lot of the time it’s the ‘Oh look, that girl’s playing a guitar and singing!’ thing sneaking around a crowd.” But in Champaign-Urbana, that discouragement seems to be close to nonexistent, according to one of the most prominent figureheads in the music community. Kayla Brown, frontwoman of We The Animals, has never felt that her gender has prohibited her from functioning as a musician in the C-U community. Brown said that females have unique challenges in a male-dominated scene, but everyone has their own unique challenges. “The challenges aren’t discouraging; they just make me better at what I do. With the sheer amount of female musicians out here playing regularly, it is a testament to the environment we live and play in,” Brown said. The environment that Champaign-Urbana brings to musicians can make them forget the harsh realities that the larger picture has on gender inequality. “There have been a lot of instances where I feel isolated for being the only female in any of the bands playing, but it’s usually because somebody steps out of bounds and says something just plain inappropriate to me, often times without even knowing it,” McConnell said. “I am lucky to say that I have learned how to deal with a lot of this, but C-U was a wonderful place to boost my confidence as a female musician.” Though women aren’t missing out on opportuni-

MUSICIANS This divide is also prevalent in instruments that are weighted by gender stereotypes, discouraging some women from picking up masculine pieces like a guitar and some men from playing feminized equivalents like the flute. Vivian McConnell, 2013 University alumna, comes from a background as a frontwoman with her two successful bands that both originated in Champaign: Santah, which has one other female member, and Grandkids. With a cellist in one of her bands, McConnell said that sound system operators often assume it is she who plays the cello, opposed to the guitar. “I find it exciting and relieving to perform with a band that has a female member, often times because we end up discussing what it’s like to be the only girl in the band,” she said. “In the C-U community, I think there is a really supportive scene for female musicians. I always felt comfortable performing and had a lot of support from other female musicians and friends.” Within prevalent symphony orchestras in the U.S., the divide between men and women continues. According to composer and programmer Suby Raman, only 38 percent of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is women. However, the ChampaignUrbana music community is diverse, with musicians from both ends of the age spectrum, genres that appeal to the most eclectic listener — and a strong female presence. Ryan Groff, frontman of Elsinore, noted the strong fema le musici a nsh ip that has been on a recent upswing in the community. “It definitely feels like there has been a huge rise in female musicians who perform well and get attention from the general public. I feel like right now we have the biggest group of talented and popular female musicians and frontwomen than any other time in the past 20 years,” Groff said. “We’re hitting a more gender-equal phase right now.” However, there are still stereotypes that prevail in all genres of the music sphere.

Chinese yo-yo isn’t just a toy for members of the Taiwanese-American Students Club Special Ops , a University performing group underneath TASC, a registered student organization. For members, it carries cultural importance and identity as they seek to connect with
their traditions and roots on campus. TASC Special Ops has been performing Chinese yo-yo for more than 10 years. While there are 12 total members who practice together at least once a week, only six perform. Special Ops is often invited to perform at cultural shows and events on campus as well as across the country — recently performing at a Lunar New Year festival in Indiana .

When Richard Thies, 83, was admitted to the Illinois State Bar Association to practice law in 1955, he took the oath at the Centennial across from the Supreme Court building in Springfield. Looking out at the city where Abraham Lincoln once practiced law, Thies remembered feeling excited that he could now practice in the same courtrooms that Lincoln did. Nearly 60 years later, he would win an award that would equate his career with Lincoln’s. On Feb. 12, Thies, an Urbana lawyer at the firm Webber & Thies, P.C., was awarded the prestigious “Lincoln the Lawyer� Award by The Abra-
ham Lincoln Association. The award was presented in Springfield during the organization’s annual Lincoln’s Birthday Banquet, an event that has seen notable guests like President Barack Obama in 2009. Thies is only the 11th person to receive the honor from the association, which looks for people who have carried similar values of Lincoln in their careers. Other recipients of the award have been judges, legal scholars and governors. Steven Beckett was on the committee that chose Thies as the award’s recipient. Beckett, who is also an Urbana lawyer and lecturer at the University’s College of Law, said he has known of Thies

When it comes to iconic rock stars, the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards and Jimmy Page dominate the pop culture imagery. But over the last decade, more and more top grossing music icons have started to shift the gender ratio. Taking a closer look at the music industry, it’s evident there is an underrepresentation of women, making some feel two steps behind, creating a gender divide seen within most genres of music. Many female musicians find that on a larger, national scale, the music industry is too daunting. But in Champaign-Urbana, the gender

divide in music feels close to nonexistent for many artists. Several prominent music festivals in the U.S, including Chicago’s Pitchfork Music Festival, Coachella and Bonnaroo, reflect the gender disparity between male and female performers in the music industry as a whole, according to data collected by Nashville Scene. Of those music festivals, the highest difference between male and female performers is at Pitchfork, where only 28 percent of the performers are female. At Coachella, out of 164 performers, only 28 are female.

THE FINAL STRETCH
ILLINI PUSH FOR NCAA TOURNAMENT BERTH BY SEAN NEUMANN
T
STAFF WRITER
he Illini men’s basketball team has just two games left to make a fi nal push to the NCA A tournament. Trying to avoid back-toback trips to the NIT, Illinois looks to close out the season with back-to-back wins against Nebraska and Purdue this week. The Illini lost to Nebraska in mid-January in one of its ugliest games of the year, scoring a season-low 43 points in the 53-43 loss. Illinois shot 27.3 percent from the field and 20.7 from behind the arc. Against Purdue, it was a different story. Illinois was boosted by a 12-3 run late in the game to beat the Boilermakers 66-57 later that month. Two more victories will get the Illini to the 20-win mark for the fi rst time since 2012-13, when the team fi nished the regular season with 21 wins and advanced to the round of 32 in the NCAA tournament. After the team’s 86-60 win over Northwestern on Saturday, head coach John Groce said the team is executing on both sides of the floor. “We were good in both areas (offensively and defensively),� Groce said. “(It was) maybe as high of a mark in both areas simultaneously we’ve had, maybe even all season. Certainly
“(It was) maybe as high of a mark in both areas simultaneously we’ve had, maybe even all season.� JOHN GROCE ON WIN AGAINST NORTHWESTERN MEN’S BASKETBALL HEAD COACH
for the fi rst time in a while.�
Living and dying by the three Illinois struggled shooting the ball against Michigan State and Iowa last week. The team shot a combined 31 percent from the floor in the two losses and scored just 53 and 60 points, respectively. But in their win Saturday, the Illini shot 47.4 percent, draining 14 threes throughout the game. Five Illini players scored in double-digits Saturday, spreading the offensive attack around the roster. “We don’t care who is scoring,� senior guard Rayvonte Rice said. “We’re just looking for each other and playing unselfish.� Rice had 19 points and seven rebounds in his fi rst start since injuring his hand and being suspended in January. The Illini players know their loss against Iowa was uncharacteristic. Senior guard Ahmad Starks had six turnovers against the Hawkeyes. The guard has averaged just 1.1 turnover per game throughout the season.
“That’s a fluke for me,� Starks said, looking back on the game. Starks reverted back to his average Saturday with just one turnover and 17 points.
Foul trouble plagues Illini The Illini have found themselves in foul trouble, sending teams into the bonus in every half in their last three games. Illinois has committed 64 fouls over its past three contests. Ten alone have belonged to freshman Leron Black. While Groce has called on his players to play with a higher intensity, the team is looking to balance its aggression with responsible play. Illinois has allowed opponents 50 points at the free throw line in its last three games alone. With two games remaining in the regular season and an NCAA tournament bid on the line, the Illini are looking to limit giveaways and cash in on opportunities themselves.

POINT-COUNTERPOINT Will Illinois make the NCAA tournament? SAM SHERMAN Sports columnist
STEPHEN BOURBON Sports columnist
Editor’s note: This is a debate about the Illinois basketball team. Two members of The Daily Illini staff discuss whether the Illini will make the NCAA tournament. Sam Sherman: So Illini basketball sits at 18-11, 8-8 in the Big Ten and they are on the NCAA tournament bubble with two games left. Do you think they will make it? Steve Bourbon: No. Sherman: Well, I believe that they will. That is based a lot on the desperation that I see in this team on the court and, more importantly, in coach John Groce. Bourbon: This team is trending in the wrong direction. Yes, they destroyed Northwestern. But they made 14
threes. Northwestern’s defense just hemorrhages threes — they’re the worst in the conference in defending the three. So both times Illinois played Northwestern, they roasted them from 3-point land. But against a real defense, Illinois struggles to score. Nebraska is a bad team but has two really high-level players in Shavon Shields and Terran Petteway, which at least gives the Huskers a puncher’s chance. Sherman: Obviously, Illinois lost already to Nebraska earlier this year (Jan. 11) in one of the ugliest games you’ll ever see. Bourbon: I actually fell asleep during that game. That’s how bad it was. Sherman: This argument ends if Illinois loses to Nebraska, but you saw what the Illini did to a bad Wildcats team on a hot streak. Nebraska is a bad team on a cold streak right now and I don’t see that reversing. I see Illinois beating Nebraska. Bourbon: And me too, I’m just saying nothing is easy in the Big Ten. A win would put Illinois at 19-11, 9-8 in the
conference. Sherman: So 19 wins, going into Mackey Arena, always a tough place to play going up against a Purdue team that has exceeded many people’s expectations this year. I think Purdue is a really good team, and a motivated AJ Hammons is the best player in the Big Ten. Bourbon: I can’t wait for that to blow up in your face when he has two points, two rebounds and five fouls. Sherman: I still think Illinois is going to win this game because I think this is a season that John Groce needs to make the tournament. Bourbon: He’s not getting fired. Sherman: Yeah, he’s not getting fired. But, the conversation may officially start about what does he bring to the table if three years in, you have ... Bourbon: One tournament appearance. Sherman: Exactly. There have been some injury issues and suspensions. But if you miss the

Illinois, Nebraska familiar foes in women’s Big Ten tournament BY BRETT LERNER STAFF WRITER
Now that the regular season is over, it’s tournament time for the Illinois women’s basketball team. While a 15-15 (6-12 Big Ten) record doesn’t put the Illini in NCAA tournament striking distance, they’ll have a chance to make some noise in the Big Ten tournament. Coming off Saturday’s home win on Senior Day over Michigan, head coach Matt Bollant and his squad have some momentum heading into the conference tournament. The win over Michigan landed Illinois the No. 10 seed in the Big Ten tournament, allowing it to bypass
Wednesday’s first round of the tournament. Being the No. 10 seed pits the Illini against No. 7 seed Nebraska, a team that was ranked in the top 25 nationally for the majority of the season but is currently unranked.
Third time’s the charm? The Cornhuskers will be a familiar opponent for the Illini when they take to the floor at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, on Thursday night. Illinois lost both of its meetings with Nebraska this season, but that doesn’t tell the full story.
The combined deficit of the two games was seven points, and Illinois was forced to play both of those games without senior Ivory Crawford, who was sidelined with a knee injury. While the Illini have been competitive against the Cornhuskers this year, it will be a tall task for Illinois to fi nally get in the win column against Nebraska — the reigning Big Ten tournament champions. “(Nebraska) has four seniors that are really talented and won the tournament last year,� Bollant said. “So I’m sure they have a lot of positive feelings and

The Boilermakers’ frontcourt size has translated to a conference-leading 5.4 blocks per game but hasn’t helped the team in the win column. The Boilermakers have still lost two straight games.
7. ILLINOIS (8) After dropping a midweek matchup with Iowa, the Illini returned home and demolished Northwestern in a must-win game Saturday.
8. INDIANA (7) Indiana lost its only game last week to a red-hot Northwestern squad. The Hoosiers remain inconsistent, having split their last four games.
9. MINNESOTA (10) Sitting at 6-10 in conference play, the Golden Gophers have been inconsistent all season, but the team showcased its talent in a 96-90 overtime win against Michigan State.
10. NORTHWESTERN (11) The Wildcats beat Indiana before having a four-game winning streak snapped in Champaign on Saturday.
11. MICHIGAN (9) Michigan is last in the conference in rebounding differential and it has showed as of late as the Wolverines dropped their only game of the week to then-No. 14 Maryland.
12. NEBRASKA (12) The Cornhuskers’ play has been erratic throughout the year and the team is currently 13th in the Big Ten in scoring margin on the season.
13. PENN STATE (13) D.J. Newbill still leads the Big Ten in scoring, at 20.4 points per game, but the Nittany Lions have struggled lately and lost their last five as a result.
14. RUTGERS (14) The Scarlet Knights continued their losing ways on the week and their current conference losing streak stands at 12 games.

A columnist’s mailbag: Best beard in sports? SAM SHERMAN Sports Columnist
S
ean asks: Who has the best beard in sports? As someone who has tried many times to grow out a full beard, only to have people see me and say, “Stop it, Sam,� nobody appreciates a great beard more than me. But before I tell you about my favorite beard in sports, I want to tell you who has the worst beard in all of sports: James Harden. I know a lot of you probably look at Harden and think his beard is awesome, but let me let you in on a little secret ... it’s not. Yeah, it’s big, but it kind of just sits on his face with no context. All I see is a guy who turned his facial hair into a brand, and that’s not what beards should be about. In 2009, when Harden was a senior at Arizona State, The New York Times published a profile about the talented shooting guard. After reading that profile, I found out that Harden originally grew his beard because he was too lazy to shave. That’s actually pretty funny — I could see myself growing a beard for the same reason. That being said, it’s still not close to the best beard in all of sports. Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end, Brett Keisel owns the best beard in all of sports. Keisel’s beard is absolutely majestic. If you’re not familiar with his beard, Google it right now. Stop reading my mailbag for a second and look it up. If you don’t, then what I say next won’t mean very much to you. When I look at Brett Keisel’s beard I feel
the need to buy a boat, nay, build a boat with my bare hands and travel around the world in it. I would sail the world’s most dangerous seas and eventually return to the States after decades of travel. I would write dozens of award-winning novels chronicling my days at sea. A film would be adapted about my life, starring Ryan Gosling or Idris Elba, probably. Does any of this sound crazy? Well it shouldn’t if you look at pictures of Brett Keisel’s beard for long enough. Ryan asks: What are your thoughts on the MLB rule changes, and how do you think it will affect hitters? Whenever I hear about MLB rule changes, I get nervous. Baseball is my favorite sport, and I have no problems with the pace of play. I know a lot of people who think baseball is boring because the games take too long. To that I say, stop watching baseball. Baseball is an amazing game, and in my opinion, the pace of play is a part of what makes it so unique. I love the fact that you can go get a hot dog or run to the bathroom and you probably won’t miss much. You can sit back and enjoy yourself, whether you’re at a game or watching on TV. As fun as it is to go to basketball or hockey games, sometimes I feel like I need to be on the edge of my seat the entire time, and there is no time to breathe. I understand why baseball is looking to speed things up. The MLB doesn’t want fans to lose interest with three and a half hour games. The rules that new MLB commissioner Rob Manfred introduced for this upcoming season include managers having to challenge plays from the dugout, strict batter’s box rules and the immediate return to play after commercial breaks. I especially like that last rule. Lots of

time is wasted around commercial breaks. Red Sox star David Ortiz has been one of the more vocal critics of the new rules. He has objected to the rule that requires batters to keep one foot in the batter’s box at all times. Some Red Sox coaches actually met with the MLB to clarify some of the rule changes, including the one Ortiz took the most issue with. The MLB said that umpires are going to be pretty lenient about enforcing the new rules, at least at the start.
After hearing this, I’m not nearly as worried about the rule changes. MLB is just trying to speed things up a little bit. Nothing drastic has happened. I don’t think hitters will be too bothered by the new rules, assuming the umpires will be as lenient as reported. Otherwise, hitters will more than likely adjust, something athletes do throughout their careers.

Mariota-Winston debate may be decided off field DAN ESCALONA Sports Columnist
T
he NFL Draft Combine can, in many ways, be seen as analogous to the NFL’s version of an auto show. Instead of the latest Corvette or Porsche, NFL scouts are looking for the next breakout star to fix whatever ails their team. Three weeks ago in Indianapolis, the eyes of the NFL were transfixed on what the combine would reveal about the presumptive top-two quarterbacks in the upcoming draft. Since the conclusion of the college football season and the Super Bowl, the football world has debated who should be the first quarterback chosen: Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston. The combine is normally figured into deciding the debate of who should be taken first in the draft. This year, though, in the case of Mariota and Winston, the combine has only served to enhance the debate. That goes to fig-
ure as both quarterback prospects were universally judged to have impressed scouts in Indianapolis. If anything, the results of the scouting combine left most questions unanswered. The metric that most ends up in favor of Mariota is the 40-yard dash, where the former Oregon quarterback ran a 4.52, whereas Winston finished with a 4.99. In this instance, it would be unwise to read too much into this wide disparity. For Mariota, speed is a crucial aspect of the skills he would bring to an NFL franchise. He is primarily known as a scrambling quarterback. Winston, on the other hand, is exclusively known as a pocket passer who only rarely will use his feet as a weapon. Comparing either of them by simple physical metrics is irrelevant since both quarterbacks bring fundamentally different tools to the table. Winston is closer to a traditional NFL quarterback, hence, he seems to still be the favorite for the No. 1 pick. Mariota represents the new, emerging breed of NFL quarterback in the
mold of Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson and Robert Griffin III, all of whom can excel while improvising outside the pocket. From a purely football standpoint, Winston ranks higher than Mariota given his aptitude as a pure pocket passer. Though that does not mean Winston will be a better NFL player, it does likely mean he is the safer choice. Like many things in football, though, the quarterback chosen first might ultimately be decided on nothing football related at all. This is the 1,000 pound gorilla hanging on Winston’s back. What might decide the fate of the draft, and the NFL careers of both quarterbacks, are the swirling questions and concerns regarding Winston’s maturity and character. As much as Winston was in the headlines for winning the 2013 national championship at Florida State and his late game heroics, he is equally known for all of the damaging headlines his name has been in. Winston was likely one of the most controversial and divisive
players in college football in the recent years. Most of this controversy centers on his high-profile accusation and subsequent investigation for sexual assault. Though he was cleared of any wrongdoing, the incident nonetheless reflects a lack of maturity that might hold negative ramifications for Winston in the NFL. With the increasing attention throughout the NFL on issues relating to sexual assault and domestic violence, Winston will be more scrutinized. While the off the field issues may not affect his draft status, they certainly could affect his success going forward. Other character issues such as a suspension last season for vulgar statements and sideline arguments further knock Winston’s case. Mariota is essentially the anti-Winston. He has never been the center of an off the field controversy and he is lauded for his humility and other positive character traits. If Mariota is chosen above Winston, it may be likely that teams were scared off by Winston’s character flaws.
BOB DEMAY TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota drops back to pass during the first quarter of the CFP National Championship on Jan. 12, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. In the modern, imageconscious NFL, executives might think twice about taking a chance on Winston — not for what could happen on the field, but for what dangers might lay ahead off the field. When Roger Goodell walks to the podium in
Chicago to announce the first pick of the 2015 NFL Draft, the name he reads out might be the result of factors not even related to football.

POINT tournament, the conversation officially starts. Bourbon: Instead of the perception of Groce being the savior, I think he would have to win fans back. Sherman: Illinois, on paper, should make the tournament. The Tracy Abrams injury set them back further than I thought it would. I say that the Purdue game is a win. An angry Rayvonte Rice is as dangerous as any scorer in the Big Ten. I think they’ll come out with a win, your thoughts? Bourbon: Watching the first game between these two teams, and watching Purdue, it’s simple to guard them, you would think. Pack the paint, front the post and chase the lob if they throw it over the top to their bigs. As long as your rotations are on point, you’re going to get steals and get in Hammons’ face. Make them shoot over you. If Raphael Davis makes a couple threes on you, so be it. As tough of an environment as that is, I also think Illinois has a good chance to come away with a win. Sherman: So we’ve got a 20-win team with a couple of quality wins going into the Big Ten tournament. I say they’re in a great position already, what’s going to blow up in their face? Bourbon: They’re going to lose in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. Right now, it’s Michigan, Minnesota or Indiana depending on how
things shakes out. Sherman: Why are they going to lose in first round? Coming off of three straight wins. Bourbon: They’re not great at anything. Their defense, last year, I would say was never bad. This year, there’s been times when the defense has been bad. Sherman: When Nnanna Egwu comes out of the game. Bourbon: They have nothing really to hang their hat on. It’s just a gut feeling. If they lose one of these next two games, it’s over. Sherman: I agree. Bourbon: Even if they lose at Purdue, I think they’re definitely out because 13-loss teams don’t make the NCAA tournament at-large. There’s been one at-large team to make the tournament with 13 losses the past two years — those are some steep odds. Sherman: Here’s where I differ from you a little bit, I think momentum does matter, especially in college basketball. Bourbon: Then why did Northwestern lose by 30 after four straight wins? Sherman: True. Bourbon: If you’re reading this, you realize I have no real argument, which is true. But it’s a gut feeling and I’m just betting on the craziness of the Big Ten, even though I like Illinois’ chances down the stretch.

WBBALL beliefs coming into the tournament and I’m expecting Nebraska to play really well against us.”
Three-point shooting: Friend or foe? Coming into the season, Bollant and his players expected to shoot well from behind the arc this season. While players like Kyley Simmons and Brittany Carter have been good from long range at times, the team’s shots have been inconsistent overall. In their most recent meeting with Michigan, the Illini shot 50 percent from the field, but only 23.5 percent from behind the arc. “(Against Michigan State) we shot 27 threes and I’m not sure, with our personnel, we should be shooting 27 threes,” Bollant said following the Michigan game. “As good as our post play is with Jacqui (Grant) and Chatrice (White) and as good as Ivory (Crawford) is penetrating, I think we need to be careful not to rely on (3-point shooting) that much.” In its two games against Nebraska, Illinois shot a combined 35.6 percent from 3-point range, about 4 percent higher than its season total. Efficient 3-point shooting has kept the Illini in games against Nebraska
this season and that trend will likely need to continue for Illinois to pull off the upset.
The value of Ivory As mentioned previously, the Illini played both of their games against Nebraska without Crawford. Her showing on Senior Day demonstrated why she’s so valuable to this team — she’s going to finish her career in the top 20 in the program’s history in more than one statistical category. She finished the regular season finale with 19 points, nine rebounds, six assists and five steals and said after the game that the whole time she was overwhelmed with excitement. For Crawford to avoid her career coming to a close Thursday, she’ll have to play up to her season averages. She’s first on the team in points per game, third in rebounds per game, and third in total assists. She’s also one of the team’s onfloor leaders, one of two seniors who plays significant minutes. “Both times we played (Nebraska) late in the game, we missed some opportunities that the ball could have been in (Crawford’s) hands if she’d not been hurt,” Bollant said.

O’Connor ties team record Junior Giana O’Connor ties program record in all-around, team finishes 2nd in Nebraska BY ASHLEY WIJANGCO STAFF WRITER
Junior Giana O’Connor checked her phone after leading the Illinois women’s gymnastics team to a second-place finish at the Masters Classic in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Sunday afternoon. She had a congratulatory text message from former Illini gymnast Alina Weinstein. O’Connor had just tied Weinstein’s record all-around score of 39.625. That’s when it sunk in for her. “It felt amazing,” said O’Connor, the No. 8 allarounder in the NCAA. “Honestly, I never thought that I would be able to do that, and to just share that record with her right now is just unbelievable, because she was just an amazing gymnast that I looked up to so much.” When Weinstein set the record in her senior season in 2013, O’Connor was just a freshman. The two were the consistent all-arounders on the team at the time, so Weinstein knows what O’Connor is capable of. “Right off the bat, you knew that Giana was going to be such a powerful impact
to the Illini team, and if anything, she’s just always been the same competitor,” Weinstein said. “But now I think she’s really fine-tuned really minute details, and it’s allowed her to grow so immensely, to a point where she is one of the strongest competitors in the NCAA.”
Former All-American returns to Illinois Illinois’ meet against Oklahoma from Friday was aired on the Big Ten Network on Monday night, and former All-American Weinstein did commentary for the competition. “It didn’t feel too weird just because I know these girls very well, and I think it’s super easy for me to talk about them,” Weinstein said. “I think just knowing them, it was easier for me to talk about their strengths, ‘cause I know them the best.” Weinstein competed for Illinois from 2010-2013 and ended her career with 43 titles. She was the second gymnast in program history to score a perfect 10 (first on vault) and now shares the top all-around score.
After experiencing all of that, Weinstein couldn’t help but reminisce upon entering Huff Hall for the first time since graduating. “When I walked in here earlier, I felt a little nervous, because I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. I’m here for a meet,’” Weinstein said on Friday. “But I’m not here to compete, so it was kind of a relief. And I’ve never been in Huff Hall in high heels, so it was definitely a change in pace.” After leaving Illinois, Weinstein went on to Nebraska, where she was a volunteer coach for the 201314 season. Following that, Weinstein joined Cirque du Soleil for the six-month Corteo tour in South America, which she called the best experience of her life. Now, Weinstein is an account executive for Yelp and lives in San Francisco, but she does gymnastics commentary on the side for the Big Ten Network. It has allowed her to stay involved in the gymnastics community and see her former team grow. “If anything, they’re a much better team than when I was on the team,” Weinstein said. “They just keep growing. And they’re so competitive, and it’s just so beautiful to watch all of the girls that I was on the team with grow into themselves and be super competi-
tive and super confident performers. So that’s been the most enjoyable thing for me.”
Illinois honors seniors following meet Senior Jordan Naleway was cautious when speaking about Friday’s senior night. She had already cried earlier that day and didn’t want it to happen again. “I’m just so thankful for the opportunities I’ve had here,” Naleway said. “It’s amazing being a Fighting Illini, and I know I’m going to look back on these four years, and they’re going to be the best four years of my life.” Naleway joined her fellow seniors Kelsi Eberly and Gaby Nguyen in being honored after Illinois’ 197.875195.950 loss to Oklahoma at Huff Hall, and bittersweet was the theme for the event. “You have been with them for four years and watched them just grow and mature as not only athletes, but also just as people,” head coach Kim Landrus said. “The three (seniors) — they’re just three warmhearted, great people. I know they’re going to make it far in life. They’ve brought so much to Illinois gymnastics, and so, I always remember these nights.”

Illini hitters finish series strong BY MICHAL DWOJAK ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
After suffering its first two losses of the season Saturday and Sunday, the Illinois baseball team made sure it would leave Springs Brooks Stadium in Conway, South Carolina, with a win against Coastal Carolina on Monday. Showing little offensive intensity in the weekend’s four games prior to Monday’s, the Illini responded with a barrage of hits and a strong pitching performance to defeat Coastal Carolina 7-1. Illinois (9-2-1) won three of five games in South Carolina this weekend. “It was good to see us break out of things today,” head coach Dan Hartleb said Monday. “After really struggling for four games offensively, we came out today and had a very good offensive day.” Illinois’ players were not
happy with the team’s offensive performance in Saturday and Sunday’s losses. Many felt that they weren’t taking quality at-bats to back up strong pitching performances. On Monday, the Illini responded with 12 hits and every member of the starting lineup contributed at least one hit. Second baseman Reid Roper led the way with three hits, an RBI and two runs scored. Roper started the Illini off in the first inning with an RBI single to center field that scored shortstop Adam Walton from second and gave Illinois a 1-0 lead. The Illini added three runs in the top of the fourth on a David Kieran RBI single and a Pat McInerney double that scored two more, knocking Coastal Carolina pitcher Cole Schaefer out of the game after 3 1/3 innings. They cushioned their lead with a Matthew James solo
homer in the eighth and Ryan Nagle two-RBI single in the ninth. Although the team had 12 hits, what stood out to many of the players was that the hits were timely. Over the first three days of the weekend, Illinois hit balls right at fielders. Monday, the Illini got on base with line drives, putting the team in a rhythm, no matter who was at the plate. “The type of lineup that we have is where one guy can step up and have a great weekend,” Roper said. “It’s great to have that kind of lineup where we can pick each other up and rely on each other.” The seven runs were more than enough for the Illini pitching staff. Sophomore Cody Sedlock pitched four hitless innings and only gave up two base runners on a walk and hit-by-pitch in his first start of the season.
The Illinois bullpen limited Coastal Carolina to two hits and one run and junior Tyler Jay pitched three innings to earn the save and give Sedlock his second win of the season. Sedlock’s performance was just one of Illinois’ many strong outings this weekend. The preseason outlook for the pitching staff was strong, and the Illini have held true to those expectations so far this season. Many on the team have said the pitching staff is the unit of the team that can make the difference when the postseason arrives. “It energizes everyone on the team,” senior center fielder Will Krug said of the strong performances from the pitching staff. “It’s an intimidation factor on the team, it’s something that makes a huge difference.”

Softball pitchers let defense do the talking BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER
Head coach Terri Sullivan always talks about how important it is that her pitchers hit their spots. That has been the philosophy all season for the Illini. The team has four pitchers, and none of them are dominating, strikeout pitchers. This was evidenced by the Illini’s 14-10 win against Georgia Southern on Friday, a game where three of the four Illini pitchers entered the game and where the Illini only recorded one strikeout. Sullivan knows that for her team to be successful, it needs to work together. She said each pitcher has bought into pitching for contact and letting her defense do its job. According to Sullivan, the trust between a pitcher and her defense is the most important part of working
together on the field, and sophomore pitcher Breanna Wonderly agreed. “It makes the game a lot easier when you know your defense has your back,” Wonderly said. “It allows me to just focus on hitting my spots.”
Big game for sophomore pitcher doesn’t count On Sunday, the Illini had an afternoon game against Eastern Michigan. Sophomore pitcher Jade Vecvanags got the nod to start the game and took advantage of the opportunity. Wonderly or senior Shelese Arnold have started most of the games so far this season, but in Vecvanags’ first start of the season, she shut out the Eagles and recorded five strikeouts. “Jade pitched great today,” Sullivan said after Sunday’s game. “She hit
all of her spots, and they couldn’t hit her.” Vecvanags breakout game was cut short, however, due to a travel curfew. The Illini, up 6-0 at the time, were two outs away from the game counting, so Vecvanags’ strong performance will not count to her season totals. The strong start for the sophomore is a good sign for the Illini, who could use more depth to their pitching staff. Wonderly and Arnold have pitched a combined 83 percent of the Illini’s innings this season.
Getting closer to Big Ten play The Illini have spent the past three weekends in the South, but their home schedule and Big Ten play is approaching quickly. According to junior infielder Allie Bauch, the season gets a different feel
when the team gets to Big Ten play. “It gives us a bigger sense of motivation,” Bauch said. “Big Ten play is when it is definitely time to get down to business.” Conference play will be a change of pace for the Illini, who will open with a three-game series against Minnesota at home. While the team is excited to get to Big Ten play, the players know how beneficial these early-season tournaments were to the growth of their team. “This season more than any other, we saw the benefits of the tournaments we have been playing in,” Sullivan said. “We have been put into every situation I can think of this winter, and we are a much better team because of it.”

Hockey reflects, looks ahead to nationals BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER
In its final two regular season games, the Illinois hockey team saw offensive production from various players in its series against Eastern Michigan. The Illini took a seasonhigh 95 shots in the series and had eight different players score goals. The highpowered offensive performances led to 10-1 and 3-2 victories Friday and Saturday, respectively. Head coach Nick Fabbrini was glad to see so many players contribute in the series ahead of Thursday’s opening-round national tournament game against John Carroll University. D efen s em a n Aaron Dusek, who scored two goals in Friday’s game, said the Eastern Michigan series will serve as an offensive boost of confidence at nationals for players who typically don’t score. “I was probably going five or six games without con-
tributing on the offensive side,� Dusek said. “It was nice to kind of fi nally break that streak and hopefully continue it onwards towards nationals.�
Danna allowed two goals in the fi rst period of Saturday’s series fi nale, but prevented any more goals the rest of the way en route to the 3-2 victory.

Danna contributes to series sweep
“We talked about coming out and controlling the next period of play ... and I think we did a nice job of that.�
Illinois managed to avoid another disappointing loss on Saturday with a second-period comeback. This season, the Illini have lost five games on Saturdays after beating the same team the previous day — four of those losses coming at home. The team’s Saturday struggles continued in the fi rst period of the series fi nale. Illinois allowed a goahead goal with less than a minute to go in the fi rst period and found itself down after 20 minutes to a team it beat 10-1 the previous night. In the locker room, Fabbrini reminded his players that one mistake during the national tournament could cost the team the game. The Illini took the message to heart and scored two unanswered goals in the second
Sophomore goaltender Zach Danna started his second and third games of the season in the Illini’s weekend sweep of the Eagles. In the 10-1 victory on Friday, Danna held onto a shutout heading into the third period, but Eastern Michigan’s Michael Salata scored the team’s only goal with about a minute left in the game. After the win, Fabbrini’s praised Danna’s 21 saves. “He made back-to-back breakaway saves in the second period, and did a good job of helping us maintain the lead,� Fabbrini said. “We are disappointed that we weren’t able to hold on to the shutout at the end there.�
