Spring 2013 ballot goes live Tuesday BY TYLER DAVIS STAFF WRITER

The spring 2013 online election ballot will go live Tuesday morning until Wednesday night and will include four referenda questions in addition to student senate, Student Organization Resource Fee board and student trustee elections. Three of the four referenda questions concern student fees and one concerns support of the status of the retired Chief Illiniwek as the symbol of the University, according to the Campus Student Election Commission website. The first asks students if they would support a 30-year, $25 general fee increase beginning in fall 2014 to support Assembly Hall renovations, though the finalized question does not include language stating this will be a 30-year fee. The fee would cover 17 percent of the building’s upcoming $160 million renovation, which will include the additions of air-conditioning, new seating, concessions, improved restrooms, expanded concourse space and enhanced accessibility features. The remainder will be covered by private sponsorships, donations, general public ticket fees and premium seating commitments will fund 83 percent of the renovation. A second question asks students if they would like to see the continuation of a semesterly $2

Waiting for Chief referendum results The results of the Chief Illiniwek referendum question will not be released until the Moot Court Board Judiciary rules on a case regarding the constitutionality of the Illinois Student Senate’s resolution to create the mascot selection a survey from mid-January. Senators announced in February that they were withholding the results of the survey as well until a ruling is made. The court will be hearing oral arguments on March 13 at the law school. “If the resolution is found to be constitutional, we can release the results of that (mascot selection) contest,” said Brock Gebhardt, student body president. “If it is found to be unconstitutional, the results would be sequestered.”

Restoration process will extend past Commencement BY NATHANIEL LASH MANAGING EDITOR FOR REPORTING

Graduating seniors this May will notice one familiar face not among them in the post-Commencement celebrations: the Alma Mater. The statue is now expected to return some time during the 2013-2014 academic year. After being hauled off campus Aug. 7, it was expected to return by May 4 , after conservators at the Conservation of Sculpture and Objects Studio repaired corrosion and water damage to the statue that had occurred since its last touch-up in 1981. But when the restoration work got underway, the studio found the statue’s internal damage exceeded the initial expectations, said University spokeswoman Robin Kaler. In a video interview provided to media outlets by the University, Andrzej Dajnowski , lead conservator with the studio, said

Urbana citizens will have the same bipartisan choices for mayor at polling booths on April 9 as they did four years ago: Republican candidate Rex Bradfield and incumbent Democrat Mayor Laurel Prussing. Prussing, who won the Democratic primary last week, won against Bradfield in 2009 with 53 percent of the vote when Bradfield came out with 32 percent. But although the ballot will look the same, Bradfield said his campaign strategy this year will be more personal and modest in spending. He said he will be focused on face-to-face interBRADFIELD PRUSSING actions with voters, regardless of their political party. “I don’t care about the politics of everything,” Bradfield said. “I want you to elect me because I’m the right guy.” While Bradfield said he spent $41,000 out of his pocket four years ago for the campaign, he said he won’t spend any money this year and is looking for four to five significant sponsorships to donate funding. John Farney, Champaign county auditor, is a friend and supporter of Bradfield and said this campaign will be much different than the 2009 effort. “It’s not going to be a mass media campaign,” Farney said. “People need to get to know the candidate on a local level. It’s a low turnout election, so your face-to-face contact really makes a difference.” After winning the Democratic candidacy on Feb. 26, Prussing said that though she didn’t know which issues Bradfield would address in his campaign, she would continue to stick to her priority issues of city improvements. “He is a known quantity. So we’ll see,” she said. Many topics of controversy, such as the Boneyard

Q: How do you feel about the Alma Mater not being here for Commencement? COMPILED BY SARI LESK ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

“I’m pretty upset. I think all the seniors are looking forward to taking pictures with it in their cap and gown. They always say you can’t take a picture with it until you’re graduating, so they promised it would be back. It stinks to not get those pictures. My brother has them (and) I won’t; that’s kind of a bummer.”

“My parents are coming all the way from India when I graduate, and they would have wanted to take a picture. It’s kind of sad that I won’t be able to take the picture. ... It is what it is.” ABHIJIT MARAR, senior in Engineering

“I’m going to be staying a fifth year for my master’s, so I fortunately will be able to take that last graduation picture with it next year. So I guess my heart goes out more to my friends ... that aren’t going to really have that chance to do so their last year on campus. ”

“That makes me really sad. I never had a connection to it before, but it’s obviously just cool to take a picture with. ... That’s horrible that it’s not going to be back here, though. That sucks.” AMINAT SARUMI, senior in LAS

UC Senate supports sustainability goals BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER

Faculty members are recommending that University administration make sustainability issues top priority, especially when dealing with the campus’s carbon footprint. The Urbana-Champaign Senate approved a proposal for a resolution in support of the Illinois Climate Action

Plan at its meeting Monday. The Senate Committee on Campus Operations unanimously approved the resolution at a meeting last month, said Ben McCall, chair of the committee and associate professor of chemistry. In 2008, University administrators signed the American College and University President Climate Commitment, which promised carbon neu-

trality, or a net-zero carbon footprint, on campus by 2050. Two years later, Robert Easter, interim chancellor at the time, developed the plan in response to this commitment. It lists broad goals and plans to potentially reduce the campus’ environmental impact. “Climate change is a very important issue, and it is better for the Uni-

versity to be in front of this issue in a leadership role than behind it,” McCall said. McCall said the University has made a lot of progress on these goals in recent years. All new buildings on campus are required to have Leadership in Energy and Environmen-

BALLOT FROM PAGE 1A

J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Following a closed-door party caucus, House Speaker John Boehner, of Ohio, center, and GOP leaders meet with reporters, on Capitol Hill in Washington on Feb. 26. They want to challenge President Barack Obama and the Senate to avoid the automatic spending cuts that take effect in four days.

House Republicans unveil funding measures to increase military readiness BY ANDREW TAYLOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Republicans controlling the House moved Monday to give the Pentagon more money for military readiness while easing the pain felt by such agencies as the FBI and the Border Patrol from the acrossthe-board spending cuts that are just starting to take effect. The effort is part of a huge spending measure that would fund day-to-day federal operations through September — and head off a potential government shutdown later this month. The measure would leave in place automatic cuts of 5 percent to domestic agencies and 7.8 percent to the Pentagon ordered by President Barack Obama on Friday night after months of battling with Republicans over the budget. But the House Republicans’ legislation would award the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments their detailed 2013 budgets while other agencies would be frozen at 2012 levels — and then bear the across-theboard cuts.

The impact of the new cuts was proving slow to reach the broader public as Obama convened the fi rst Cabinet meeting of his second term to discuss next steps. The Pentagon did say it would furlough thousands of military school teachers around the world and close commissaries an extra day each week. And Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the spending cuts were causing delays in customs lines at airports including Los Angeles International and O’Hare International in Chicago. Obama said he was continuing to seek out Republican partners to reach a deal to ease or head off the cuts, but there was no sign that a breakthrough was in the works to reverse them. The new GOP funding measure is set to advance through the House on Wednesday. It’s aimed at preventing a government shutdown when a six-month spending bill passed last September runs out March 27. The latest measure would provide an increase for military

operations and maintenance efforts as well as veterans’ health programs but would put most the rest of the government on budget autopilot. After accounting for the across-the-board cuts, domestic agencies would face reductions exceeding 5 percent when compared with last year. But Republicans would carve out a host of exemptions seeking to protect certain functions, including federal prisons and fire-fighting efforts in the West, and to provide new funding for embassy security and modernizing the U.S. nuclear arsenal. The FBI and the Border Patrol would be able to maintain current staffing levels and would not have to furlough employees. The legislation would provide about $2 billion more than the current level to increase security at U.S. embassies and diplomatic missions worldwide. Last September, a terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

A project to repair the Capitol Dome in Washington could stay on track, and NASA would be protected from the harshest effects of the automatic cuts, known in Washington as a sequester. The across-the-board cuts would carve $85 billion in spending from the government’s $3.6 trillion budget for this year, concentrating the cuts in the approximately $1 trillion allocated to the day-to-day agency operating budgets set by Congress each year. Those so-called discretionary accounts received big boosts in the fi rst two years of Obama’s presidency when Democrats controlled Congress but have borne the brunt of the cuts approved as Obama and Republicans have grappled over the budget. Both Democrats and Republicans for months have warned the cuts are draconian and would slow the growth of the economy and cost hundreds of thousands of jobs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, for instance, says they would slow the economy by 0.6 percent and cost about 750,000 jobs.

student fee for the collegiate readership program. The program provides copies of The New York Times, Chicago Tribune and USA Today to students across campus. Another referenda question asks students if they support the continuation of a $17.28 per semester student fee toward programming at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. This fee provides free events and a minimum $5 discount to University students on performance tickets. A fi nal question asks students if they support Chief Illiniwek as the “official symbol of the University.” The University retired the mascot in 2007 after an August 2005 NCAA sanction on University athletic programs that barred teams from hosting post-season competition. In addition to the referenda questions, five candidates have been approved by the election commission to run for student trustee: Shao Guo, vice president-internal of the Illinois Student Senate; Brian Siegel , student senator, junior in Media and former Illini Media employee; Mike Cunningham, junior in LAS; LaDarius DuPree, junior in LAS; and Ryan Gleason , junior in LAS. Gleason has been publicly censured by the commission for using chalk on vertical surfaces in campaign advertisements in at least three different locations, violating the 2013 election packet and student code, said Adam Joines, CSEC chairman. Besides issuing the reprimand, however, Joines said the

I’m pushing forward and I’m not going to waste my time on it.” Bradfield said his top priority, if elected mayor, will be job creation, in keeping with his slogan from 2009 “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.” “The most important issue now is high-paying jobs,” he said. “It was important then and now; she’s four years behind the eight ball.” Bradfield said his first actions would be to put together an adhoc committee to bring major companies, such as Apple and

commission will take no further action against Gleason, and his running status will not be affected. Carey Ash , graduate student senator, had been planning to run as well but was denied Illinois residency status by Kenneth Ballom, dean of students, making him ineligible as a candidate. By state law, student trustee candidates are required to be state residents. Though Ash said he has lived in Illinois for five years and has residency from the State of Illinois, he does not meet the University’s defi nition of in-state residency because he does not qualify for the University’s standards of instate tuition, according to section 3-903 of the student code, because he is not employed in Illinois; Ash is a graduate assistant at the University, but this employment does not qualify under the code. The section states that in order to be considered an instate resident, a student must be employed for one year or prove reliance on Illinois resources for more than 50 percent of his or her income. Ballom cited this section as the reason for not accepting his candidacy. However, Ash is still heading a write-in campaign. “It is foolish, it is folly, it is false, to think that those who reside in the state with the present intention to remain here, who contribute to the health and wellbeing of our University to be ineligible to service,” Ash said. “The University must change its ways.”

He also said bringing in major restaurant chains to southeast Urbana would increase business along Philo Road and benefit the local economy by providing jobs and bringing in more tax revenue. Some of his other ideas include building a new fire and police station in southeast Urbana to combat the high-crime area and implementing language facilities for immigrants. He also wants to construct a city fairground or sports complex where road construction is currently being done on Lincoln Avenue. “That’s a road to nowhere,” he said. “(With more development,) you’ll give people a reason to get out there.” Polls open April 9 at various locations, some on campus, including the McKinley Foundation, University YMCA, SDRP and ARC. The last day for registration is March 12.

Cardinals meet to talk corruption in Vatican BY NICOLE WINFIELD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VATICAN CITY — Cardinals said Monday they want to talk to Vatican managers about allegations of corruption and cronyism within the top levels of the Catholic Church before they elect the next pope, evidence that a scandal over leaked papal documents is casting a shadow over the conclave and setting up one of the most unpredictable papal elections in recent times. The Vatican said 107 of the 115 voting-age cardinals attended the first day of pre-conclave meetings, at which cardinals organize the election, discuss the problems of the church and get to know one another before voting.

Kenyan women get ready to cast their ballots in Kibera's Slums, Nairobi, Kenya Monday. Kenya is holding its first presidential election since the 2007 vote which ushered in months of tribal violence that killed more than 1,000 people and displaced 600,000 from their homes.

Violence erupts in Kenya on election day leaving 19 dead, including 4 policemen BY JASON STRAZIUSO AND TOM ODULA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOMBASA, Kenya — Kenya’s presidential election drew millions of eager voters who endured long lines to cast ballots Monday, but the vote was marred by violence that left 19 people dead, including four policemen hacked to death by machete-wielding separatists. Officials urged voters not to be intimidated by the violence amid fears the impending election results could spark another round of the ethnic-related bloodshed in which more than 1,000 people died after the 2007 vote. The election is the first presidential poll under a new constitution designed to prevent the ethnic violence of 2007-08. Enthusiastic voters formed long lines around the country, and

election officials estimated turnout at 70 percent of 14 million registered voters. The voting got off to a bloody start when a group of 200 separatists set a trap for police in the coastal city of Mombasa in the pre-dawn hours, Inspector General David Kimaiyo said. Four police were hacked to death with machetes, coast police boss Aggrey Adoli said. The separatist group — the Mombasa Republican Council — had threatened election day attacks, and Kimaiyo said police were planning a raid “that will see the end of the MRC.” The MRC believes Kenya’s coast should be an independent country. Their cause, which is not defi ned by religion, is fueled by the belief that political leaders in Nairobi have taken the coast’s land for themselves, impoverish-

ing indigenous residents. In addition to the attack in Mombasa, police blamed the MRC for three deadly attacks in nearby Kilifi. An Associated Press reporter visited a morgue and saw four dead young men wearing red bandanas — a sign of the MRC — who had been shot to death. An AP tally of the violence found that four police and three MRC members died in Mombasa, while six government offi cials, four MRC members and two civilians died in the three attacks near the coastal city of Kilifi, all according to police and mortuary officials. After the polls closed, gunshots and an explosion rang out in the city of Garissa, near the Somali border, as gunmen stormed two polling stations, said Farah Maalim, the deputy speaker of parlia-

ment. Security forces responded to the attack and the gunmen fled. The violence in the Mombasa and Garissa areas is separate from the ethnic violence that could break out related to election results, and which was so deadly after the 2007 vote. The country’s top two presidential candidates condemned the Mombasa attacks. Prime Minister Raila Odinga called it a “heinous act of aggression” during a historic exercise. Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta said he was discouraged by the news but he was sure the security situation would be brought under control. Authorities flew in an additional 400 police officers to Mombasa to increase security. The United Nations restricted the movement of its staff on the coast because of the violence.

Students should vote yes to renew Collegiate Readership Program

ince the $2 student fee was approved in spring 2009, the University has participated in the Collegiate Readership Program, which allows for free weekday access to print copies of The New York Times, Chicago Tribune and USA Today. The University student code mandates that the fee is reviewed by the student body by way of a referendum at least once every four years. Now the time has come for us to not only renew our subscription to the program but also renew our support for keeping the student body aware of local, national and international news. As college students, we face criticism at all angles for being uninformed (sometimes misinformed), ignorant, oblivious, perhaps naive. In just that light alone, the importance of this program is apparent. This program is symbolic of our support for students being aware of the world they live in. Questioning and participating in global discussions. Having informed opinions. Seeking information from multiple sources. Deciding for himself or herself the bias of sources. Doing everything in their power to dispel the stereotype of the partyboy/partygirl college student, instead informing college students, ready to join in addressing key issues after graduation. As journalists at The Daily Illini, which continues to produce a print product, we are fully aware that there is no long-term efficacy of funding a print-based newspaper program. As we put in our votes today and Wednesday, we urge student senators and administrators to take a second look at the possibility providing online subscriptions to students in the future. Students swim with the current on the trend of receiving and absorbing news content in an online format. Average daily consumption through the program is a measly 1,409 newspapers, which, out of about 40,000 students, is disheartening but possibly a poor representation of actual interest. Those remaining students, we’d like to think, are not mindless drones; they are connected by their smartphones, tablets and computers. They are reading and sharing hundreds and thousands of articles at YouNameIt.com as they pass by the bins filled with stacks of paper that would only add extra weight to their backpack. And why shouldn’t we be promoting the estimable work by the news media, seeking to break barriers, engage readers and further increase interactivity? The Collegiate Readership Program, started by USA Today in 1997, offers a discounted rate on these newspapers already. As the readership program works, the University only pays for what students read. But if the point of the program is to increase news accessibility for all students, it would seem that a price increase would be warranted — and students would probably front the cost. If anything, the program allows access for students who wouldn’t normally be able to afford a subscription to a newspaper like The New York Times or the Chicago Tribune. The availability of these papers provides a nice break from the onslaught of amateur blogs we are hit with every day. Upon reaffirmation of the fee, we look to a new push for the digital distribution of this professional and useful journalism .

RENÉE WUNDERLICH Opinions columnist

Unofficial fulfills human need to belong SARAH FISCHER Opinions columnist

Unofficial, one of the more inclusive and collective events at the University, ends and everyone slinks back from latenight mistakes and hangovers, I’m left to wonder why such a holiday enthralls the campus, why some are already counting down the days until their leprechaun hats and Guinness shirts become relevant once more. Unofficial intrigues — I think — for two reasons: the alcohol and the community. How we create that community in which we thrive has evolved, and the acts we partake in as a group have changed, but the desire for human connection remains as important as ever. Man is a social animal, and it remains as true today as when Aristotle spewed the phrase centuries ago. Unofficial brings in students from all over the Midwest, from Minnesota and Iowa to Michigan and Wisconsin. They come down from Chicago and up from Carbondale. But students don’t drink alone. They don’t confine themselves to their apartments and pour Budweiser or Baileys down their throats. They go out in droves. They envelop Green Street, the bars, the restaurants, the sidewalks. It is partially an ode to alcohol, an early celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, but primarily it’s a communal activity. Why? Is it because it involves a “socially unacceptable” behavior? Halloween is about community as well, dress-

ing up and occupying the town for a night of fear and fun. It’s also about mass consumption. Both of these holidays are social in a way that, say, Christmas or Thanksgiving aren’t. Philosopher Adam Smith argued in his book “The Theory of Moral Sentiments” that our innately social nature produces virtue. We assign virtue to that which we see others doing, and doing en masse. It’s why we celebrate holidays like Unofficial and Halloween and Earth Day, and it’s why Festivus never really took off. Important, too, is how our association with these various holidays and activities impacts our identities, not only individually but socially. The individual who stays at home and drinks to excess becomes an alcoholic. (Though that is a common joke, “It’s only alcoholism after you graduate.”) But even in college, the odd man out is the one who drinks alone. He may be more out of place than the individual who elects not to drink at all, but still goes out. Why? It harkens back to Aristotle, who wrote in “Politics” that society existed before the individual and that those who cannot or will not act within society’s constraints are “either a beast or a god.” And since we can’t assign the lone drinker the position of god, we have to make him into a beast. Unofficial seems to be an exceptionally happy time for campus as well. Students revel in their abilities to get up at 5:45 to start drinking, to miss class (or function while sporting a buzz) — but they revel in those abilities together. These things only bring us happiness when they get shared. The secret

impresses no one. Why? James Fowler, professor of medical genetics at the University of California at San Diego, conducted a study in which he found that happiness spreads through three degrees of connection. “We found a statistical relationship not just between your happiness and your friends’ happiness,” he said, “but between your happiness and your friends’ friends’ friends’ happiness.” Put simply, happiness is contagious. Human beings have a need to be with others. Belonging to a specific community gives us a sense of identity, and our participation in a variety of groups comprises our individual identities. We’ve got more ways to be social now, new and multifaceted ways to interact not only with the person standing next to us, but also with the high school friend abroad in China. But those types of connections don’t diminish the need for physical interaction that a holiday like Unofficial provides. If anything, they strengthen our desire for those face-to-face interactions. A 2011 article from Psychology Today explains, “Human beings are highly social creatures. Because of this we are intensely interested in what others are doing, and why.” And ultimately I think that’s why Unofficial brings the campus out. It allows us to see what others are doing, and it allows us to see if we are doing what others are doing. It allows us to measure ourselves in the eye of a collective society and to see if we can, at the very least, still stand up.

US needs purposeful spending cuts TOMMY HEISER Opinions columnist

y brother’s dog and my dog fight with each other constantly — playfully, of course. Perhaps it’s because they’re young and they have seemingly endless amounts of energy, or maybe they’re bored and that is what they enjoy doing, besides the popular activities of sleeping, eating and barking at the random passersby. But when they need something, like a treat off the counter or a trip outside, they come together and figure out a way to solve the problem at paw. One would figure that if dogs could negotiate in crisis diplomacy or typical day-to-day doggie problems, humans could manage it too, with human problems, of course. Unfortunately, our current Congress has been unable to tackle the nation’s problems because of constant fighting, name-calling, blaming and any other immaturities that display during disagreements. Instead, Congress is playing a drunken game of darts, blindfolded, disregarding the repercussions of their actions with not a concern of what gets hit or by how much. The latest result of a drawn out battle for solving the nation’s debt issue is the sequestration and acrossthe-board budget cuts that hit last Friday. The long-overdue and contentious cuts, “the sequester,” was passed under the Budget Control Act of 2011, then further delayed to March 1 in a deal to avert “the fiscal cliff.” Unlike previous Congress’, which worked together to solve problems, like those of the 90s, this Congress is infamous for kicking the can down the road and accomplishing little. The sequester is an aimless attempt at deficit reduction to the

tune of $1.2 trillion over 10 years. Half of the $85 billion cuts this year affects defense discretionary spending (weapons purchases, base operations, construction work, etc.), and the other half affects mandatory (Social Security and Medicaid) and domestic discretionary spending. The current cuts sacrifice essential domestic programs and strain the nation’s defenses for the sake of an it’s-better-to-get-somethingdone-than-nothing mentality. And this mentality stems from a lackluster approval rating, which is holding steady near historical lows at 15 percent, according to Gallup. As part of the sequester, the appropriations of the National Science Foundation will be reduced by 5 percent in fiscal year 2013. This reduction will significantly impact the amount of new research grants funded by approximately 1,000 for 2013 alone. As a top research institution in the world, this funding is essential to the University’s mission. The University received more than 400 grants in 2010 ranging from as little as $3,000 to $90 million. We ranked second among all national institutions receiving NSF funding and first among universities. Absent Blue Waters, the project at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, which received more than $90 million, the University ranked fourth among national research universities. Over the semester, I have been assisting my professor with his proposal to digitize the historical trading data of the New York Stock Exchange dating back to the 19th century. His proposal, like many research proposals across the country and at nearly every college in the University, may not receive funding by the National Science Foundation because of the sequester. However, not all NSF funding the University received went to research. Some distributions include

support for undergraduate and graduate students. Taking a look at the big picture, according to Macroeconomic Advisors, “the sequestration would cost roughly 700,000 jobs (including reductions in armed forces), pushing the civilian unemployment rate up ¼ percentage point, to 7.4 percent,” levels which would linger for several years. And that is just one report. Stephen Fuller, an economist at George Mason University, using information before the delay in the sequester, claims that 2.14 million jobs would be lost, increasing unemployment by as much as 1.5 percentage points to over 9 percent. Cutting spending is a good thing. It’s a sign of improving efficiency and extracting the most out of our taxpayers’ dollars. Except these changes to the federal government’s spending are not planned or calculated. As the president said, they were merely made to meet an arbitrary number set by a dysfunctional Congress. Not a good thing. Yes, spending cuts are desperately needed. So are further increases in taxes. But the current policy that Congress is using to tackle our debt and deficit problems will leave many essential defense and domestic programs gutted. Thoughtless cuts to discretionary spending will impede potential proposals that could provide a serious, social benefit to this country. I want my professor to receive NSF funding. I want Blue Waters to be the fastest supercomputer in the world. Not only will this funding provide immense research benefits, but it could advance scientific discoveries. This is something we should be proud of and spend more on, not less. What we need are smart, purposeful cuts to spending and thought-out reforms.

y grandfather has a favorite song, written in 1934 for a Radio City Music Hall singer by the name of Jan Peerce. The song is called “Bluebird of Happiness.” I have a hunch that Peerce wasn’t singing about the Twitter bird. And I have it on good authority that my grandfather never has and probably never will tweet. But maybe this little bluebird of the 21st century can do more than just enlighten followers with the latest celebrity gossip. Every subscriber gets the same character limit. So whether you’re Joe Public, Lady Gaga or Barack Obama, every tweet can only be 140 characters at most. And yet in this limitation, we find great difference of opinion and ideological outlook. “The beggar man and the mighty king are only different in name,” proclaims the song. So if we are all essentially equal, what makes some of us so joyful and others so, well, not? “Sometimes I feel like I love everyone more than they love me,” tweets Miley Cyrus back in September 2012, after what the Huffington Post speculated about teenage mood swings made public. After your latest appearance as Cosmopolitan cover girl, I assure you, Miley, there is now a sizeable increase in a particular demographic who love you perhaps more than you’d like to know. “I want to get so famous that people will favorite the most pointless tweets I post,” tweets user @Alison_Collins. You probably don’t know Allison Collins; I certainly don’t, and that’s the point. Today a smile, tomorrow tears — in life and in Twitter. Chances are, overwhelming feelings of joy will not land on our doorstep or appear in our inboxes. Fame and fortune may get your name recognized (or your vents retweeted), but stardom is no guarantee for smiles. But if we actively seek out what makes us or might make us happy, maybe we’ll hold our heads up high and hear the birds tweeting once again. Fourteen different happiness studies were conducted and then compiled in the late ’90s, later to be published in Psychology Today as a way of understanding the subjective nature of personal happiness. Tom G. Stevens, psychologist and professor emeritus at California State University, writes that by understanding our emotions, we can learn to predict and control our potential reactions to situations, thus learning how to concentrate and isolate what makes us enjoy life and how to make the best of things otherwise. Basically, you can choose to be happy. The choice may be more difficult for some, but differences do not equal defeat. Twitter speaks to some today like “Bluebird of Happiness” comforted listeners who otherwise felt alone. For all the troubles and stress and inequality and just plain stupid stuff that some people do, there is still the understanding that a good attitude can transcend the utter melancholy that we often hold. Maybe I’m pushing the limits of a cliche. Or maybe it’s because I just finished reading Chuck Klosterman’s pop culture manifesto, “Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs” and I’m feeling inspired. Perhaps the objects and events in our lives are actually more connected than we think. Maybe expressing ourselves, whether in song or through Twitter, can help vent both everyday frustrations and stressors like midterms and break-ups. While social media may not usually be seen as similar to a 1930s pop song, such connections are what make our world all the more fascinating. Online or over the airwaves, we are still looking for the same feeling of reassurance, of amusement, of joy. We are all still looking for our own bluebird of happiness.

Cravings serves delicious dishes from all over Asia BY SAHER KHAN STAFF WRITER

Cravings, which is owned by the Zhu family, has been serving the University community for over 20 years. Located at 603 S. Wright St. in Champaign, Cravings is known for its Chinese food, specifically for one of its most popular dishes, Jakarta Fried Rice. â€œJakarta fried riceâ€™s most important element is the Indonesian soy sauce but also the other elements, like the egg, shrimp and chicken, are what make it so good,â€? said Cravings employee Chi Sze Tho, who has worked at the restaurant for seven years. This dish is stir-fried rice that includes shrimp and chicken, with its signature ingredient of a fried egg on top of the rice. The Indonesian soy sauce adds extra flavor that sets it apart from all other types of rice. Cravings offers a variety of dishes from all over Asia, including China, Malaysia, Thailand

and India. Sze Tho said Cravings can be distinguished from other Asian restaurants in ChampaignUrbana for a variety of reasons. â€œWe are popular because the food is good, but also because we have a huge portion for a small price,â€? Sze Tho said. â€œBut most importantly, I think our front desk is really good, we are good to everyone.â€? Taylor Petersen, sophomore in DGS, agrees. One of the reasons she gets Cravings at least once a week is because she loves the friendly staff, she said. â€œI like Cravings because itâ€™s authentic Chinese food, and because the guy who is always working is the nicest person ever,â€? Petersen said in reference to Sze Tho. Petersenâ€™s favorite dish is the Jakarta Fried Rice because she thinks it is unlike any other fried rice she has ever had. Uzma Ahmad, junior in AHS, is a frequent customer of Cravings as well.

â€œIâ€™m craving Cravings so bad right now I canâ€™t think of why I love it so much,â€? Ahmad said when asked why she enjoys Cravings. Ahmad said Cravings has great food and service, and she is always satisfied with what she orders on the menu. She orders Jakarta Fried Rice because it is a filling portion that never leaves her hungry. Both Ahmad and Petersen said that everyone needs to try something on the Cravingâ€™s menu at least once while here at the University. â€œI go to Cravings every Thursday, and I would definitely recommend it to other people,â€? Petersen said. According to Petersen, the restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, delicious food and great management. â€œWhat more could you want?â€? she said.

University program recognizes achievements of senior alumni Senior 100 Honorary program will continue accepting applications STAFF WRITER

Of the many awards and recognitions at the University, few recognize the achievements seniors accomplished over their four years on campus. Senior 100 Honorary, a University of Illinois Alumni Association program, does just that. Itâ€™s not too late to join the ranks of alumnus who distinguished themselves inside and outside of the classroom. Senior 100 Honorary is an event that congratulates 100 seniors for their commitment to academics, involvement on campus and the impact they made throughout their undergraduate careers. The applications are due by March 14 at 11:59 p.m. and are available on the University of Illinois Alumni Association website. The only prerequisite is a base GPA requirement of 3.0 out of 4.0. â€œThere are endless opportunities here waiting to be taken advantage of,â€? said Julia Weiss, vice president of Student Engagement in Student Alumni Ambassadors. â€œYou could go so many ways with this school, and we want to congratulate the seniors who have really capitalized on everything the school has to offer.â€? Along with co-directors Joe Ortigara and Hanjoo Moon, Weiss is in charge of organizing the event and contacting fac-

Brennan said. â€œWeâ€™re all excited to participate because this is something for a good cause and AKPsi focuses on philanthropic outreach.â€? Alden said the organizations are keen to be contenders in the competition, but also happy to support Best Dance Crewâ€™s charity efforts. Tickets to the competition are $5, and all proceeds for the Ronald McDonald House will support families struggling financially with health care. Best Dance Crew will take place in the 112 auditorium in Gregory Hall Sunday at 7 p.m. Golin and Alden said they hope anyone at the University will come, either for a good cause or to see funny dance moves.

When asked how challenging Best Dance Crew has been for them, Golin and Alden both laugh. They sum it up: lots and lots of emails.

ach month, for $10, a box fi lled with both beauty and grooming supplies arrives at the door fi lled with an array of well-known name-brand samples. No, this is not a dream — it’s Birchbox. Birchbox’s website was launched in 2010 and has now expanded to business units all over the world including France, the United Kingdom, Spain and now the U.S. The service is now not only for women, in 2012 it extended into men’s products with Birchbox Man. To take part in the subscription service, users must visit birchbox. com to put his or her name on “the list.” The site will send the person an email within four weeks to claim their subscription. After claiming the offer, subscribers will be asked to generate a “profi le,” which is a short questionnaire about their beauty and lifestyle supply preferences. This profi le will allow the com-

pany to gain a better understanding of what the subscriber likes so they can put together a wellappreciated, customized box of grooming supplies. Students on campus have begun to utilize the growing subscription service. Jane Sobczak, sophomore in Business, believes it is a great addition to her grooming necessities. “They usually send it on time of the estimated delivery date, and there’s always new things to try that I’ve never even heard of that are worth way more than the monthly subscription charge,” Sobczak said. Those who are unhappy with their products can cancel their subscription at any time, but 2011 graduate Jessica Sturdy, can’t imagine why anyone would want to. The self-proclaimed “beauty product junkie” graduated from the University with an economics and fi nancial planning degree, and now currently works at TPR

Holdings and blogs on her website, bowsandsequins.com. She said she has purchased quite a few products she has received through Birchbox, and loves their point system. “The Birchbox website gives you points each month for reviewing the samples you received, and you can apply those points to future orders,” she said. “You also get points for referring friends to the site, so I’ve gotten a few fullsize products for free.” Some of her favorite products she has received include Boscia BB Cream, Benefit POREfessional, and Oscar Blandi Texture & Volume Spray. For those looking to fi nd other websites that resemble Birchbox, there are those that offer the same general deal, but with a twist — clothes are included.

Business students prepare for upcoming dance competition BY ADLAI STEVENSON STAFF WRITER

Students within the College of Business consider themselves dedicated and driven. Along with the school work that makes them some of the top business students in the country, they also participate in affi liated organizations and philanthropic activities. This weekend, students will add dance cues and song mashups to their agenda. Six business organizations will compete in the College of Business Best Dance Crew competition in Gregory Hall this Sunday, March 10. This year is the fi rst for Best Dance Crew and its founders, Kyle Alden and Emily Golin , both sophomores in Business. They said the event will bring the business organizations together to cheerfully showcase their fi nest dance moves in an effort to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. Alden and Golin are also members of Business Council, which

facilitates events and communicates with the business world on campus. While the Business Council already planned a spring charity event, Alden said the Council wanted an additional fundraiser earlier in the semester. Golin said Best Dance Crew is their solution. “Over winter break, we came up with ideas for the event that it would be annual and involve as many organizations as possible,” Golin said. “We wanted something that would be fun for people to both participate in and watch since we can have more people involved that way. And who doesn’t want to watch their friends on stage doing funny dance moves?” Of the six organizations, Alden and Golin reached out to four business fraternities — Phi Gamma Nu , Delta Sigma Pi , Alpha Kappa Psi and Phi Chi Theta — and members in Business Council and the entrepreneurial organization Enactus to compete in Best Dance Crew. One dance group will rep-

resent each organization during the competition. Illini ’N’ Motion , a student dance troupe, will play an integral role in Best Dance Crew as well. Members from the troupe provide assistance to the groups as they prepare for their performances in Gregory Hall. “One of our concerns was if each group would have dancers with some experience,” Alden said. “Illini ’N’ Motion are helping them (to) choreograph their dances plus other help and advice.” But Illini ’N’ Motion said they do not want to dictate the performances. Carissa Dieckman, a member of Illini ’N’ Motion and a freshman in Business, is assigned to Alpha Kappa Psi’s dance group and said her experience with the fraternity has been collaborative. “We just want to make sure that everyone’s having fun,” Dieckman said. “A lot of us have ideas so we’re mixing them all

Osei played in all 12 games last year, splitting time between quarterback and wide receiver. He caught six passes for 50 yards and threw for 79 yards on eight completions. Cubit named Osei, Justin Hardee, Spencer Harris, Steve Hull (who is also new to the receiver position, having spent the last three years at safety) and Ryan Lankford as the wide receivers he expects to step up and be heavy contributors. Cubit h as not seen quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase throw yet except on tape. He said it’s going to be awhile before the offense gets accustomed to his system. As the head coach at Western Michigan the previous eight seasons, Cubit’s offense was known for its up-tempo style and its high-volume passing attack. In a four-win season in 2012, the Broncos passed for 3,477 yards, more than the Illini gained rushing and passing combined. For the Illini to improve, much of the burden will rest on Scheelhaase’s shoulders. “The biggest adjustment will be for the quarterbacks,” Cubit said. “Instead of just calling plays from the sidelines, he’s got to be a coach out there on the field.”

At a news conference Monday, Illinois football head coach Tim Beckman announced that wide receiver Darius Millines has been suspended for breaking team rules. Beckman did not elaborate on the circumstances of Millines’ suspension, just saying that his status will be re-evaluated in May, following the spring season. Millines, who is preparing for his senior season next fall, caught 32 passes for 319 yards last season for the Illini. He missed two games because of injury, recovering from a torn labrum in his shoulder. The injury would have kept him off the field during the spring had the suspension not occurred. “We hate to do it,” Beckman said. “But we’re going to make sure we’re doing things the proper way. We have team policies here and we expect them to be followed.” Millines will continue to rehab and attend tutoring sessions. When asked if he expects to see Millines in an Illini uniform next fall, recently hired offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said: “That’s up to him. He’s got to figure it out.” Millines’ 2012 statistics were not pa r t icu l a rly memorable. But considering Illinois’ leading wide receiver, Ryan Lankford, only amassed 469 yards and five touchdowns, M i l l i ne s’ i mpac t wa s significant.

Filling holes Beckman said the No. 1 goal for spring practice is to create a physical atmosphere. Tight end Jon Davis, linebacker Jonathan Brown and defensive back Earnest Thomas will have limited contact because of injury. All three saw significant time on the field in 2012. The biggest question mark for Illinois heading into the spring season is its secondary;

Former Illini Guthrie finding success on PGA Tour BY CLAIRE LAVEZZORIO STAFF WRITER

With the world of professional golf ridden with uncertainties regarding performance, many amateurs are hesitant to make the leap of faith to the tour. But former Illini golfer Luke Guthrie has found early success on the PGA Tour. The 23-year-old, who turned professional last year, placed third in the Honda Classic, a PGA Tour tournament holding a

$6 million purse in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. The Quincy, Ill., native’s play over the weekend helped him place ahead of some of the top names in golf. His second-round 7-under-par 63 was the lowest single-day mark of the tournament. By the end of the third day, Guthrie held the top spot with Michael Thompson at 8-under. Guthrie’s final round Sunday, however, was plagued by strong winds, making it difficult to fin-

Sam McLaurin was expected to be a full participant in Monday’s practice after he suffered a mild sprain in his ankle during Saturday’s game. He took it easy Monday just to be careful with the injury, even though Groce said the senior forward probably could have played. Even without McLaurin for the majority of Saturday’s game, Illinois still outrebounded Nebraska 35-26. His presence will be more important Tuesday, as Iowa ranks third in the Big Ten in both offensive and defensive rebounds this season. “He looked great (Monday),” Groce said. “Obviously, Sam cares at a high level so he’s going to do

everything he’s supposed to do. We’ve been very lucky when we’ve been dinged up here and there. Hopefully that trend continues.” The last time the Illini traveled to Iowa City, they played the Hawkeyes to the buzzer, losing by three points on March 8, 2012, to continue the last-season free fall that ended former head coach Bruce Weber’s tenure in Champaign. This time, Illinois is fortunate. It can only improve its postseason position with a win. It’s Iowa that’s going to need to continue its run at home to sit as comfortably as the Illini.

Illinois head coach Matt Bollant remembers the first time he played against Adrienne GodBold at Green Bay as a part of a Thanksgiving tournament. The Illinois guard was strong-willed defensively, and she prevented his Green Bay team from running one of its best plays. “It was the only time all year that the one play wasn’t effective because she wasn’t going to let the ball be dribbled where we wanted to go,” Bollant said. “We saw right away that she can change a game and change a play with her defense.” It seems Big Ten women’s basketball coaches realize what Bollant saw in his team’s win over Illinois by naming GodBold the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. GodBold averaged a secondbest 2.9 steals per game in the Big Ten, in addition to 7.1 rebounds per game. The senior also averaged 17.1 points, and her all-around talents led to her being named second-team all-Big Ten by the coaches and third-team all-Big Ten by media. Senior Karisma Penn was named first-team all-Big Ten by media and second-team by coaches. Penn is the first Illini to be named first-team allBig Ten since Jenna Smith in 2010. This marks Penn’s third straight year being named allconference, as the coaches and the media awarded her thirdteam last year. She was named second-team by media and third-team by coaches in 2011. Bollant thought Penn, who averages 19.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.9 steals and 2.2 blocks, deserved more. “I’m excited that she made the all-conference team, and I appreciate the media for voting her first-team,” Bollant said. “I don’t know how with the stats that she had that she’s not on the

Cost of attending games becoming too inconvenient

Henry key to a fond farewell on senior day

he emotions were flowing thick and fast over the course of the weekend. The last few days brought the conclusion of two hallmarks of my undergrad career. Friday saw the last Unofficial celebration I will participate in as a student. On Saturday, I rallied for my final home basketball game in which the Illinois seniors I went through four up-and-down years with were honored. I won’t lie, it got a little dusty. I shed more tears than I have since my fourth-grade girlfriend dumped me. (Your loss, Ashley. I’m definitely still not bitter. But seriously, call me. 615-364-5997. We can still make this work). But when Sunday night rolled around, my most enduring memory from each event didn’t involve seniors at all (although that terrifying girl who managed to shatter an entire glass table with a beer bottle — swear to God — could have been a senior. I was just too shocked to ask amid the aftermath). Instead, my memory centered on Myke Henry, slip-screen artist and unsung hero from Illinois’ 72-65 victory over Nebraska. On a day spent commemorating the contributions of the senior class, it was the sophomore who provided the unexpected spark that helped the Illini slip by the Cornhuskers. With starter Sam McLaurin hobbled by an ankle injury and Tyler Griffey largely ineffective for most of the game, Henry stepped in and contributed a season-high 12 points and a career-high nine rebounds, including

Illinois’ Myke Henry, left, goes up for the layup during Illinois’ win against Nebraska at Assembly Hall on Sunday. Henry was key to the Illini’s win with a season-high 12 points and a career-high nine rebounds. the game’s clinching play, when he secured an offensive rebound off Brandon Paul’s missed jumper with one minute left and Illinois ahead 66-62. With a fresh 35 seconds on the shot clock, Nebraska was forced to foul the rest of the way and Illinois knocked down its free throws to close out the game. Henry followed that stellar performance by carrying the postgame press conference, attempting to steal Paul’s customary seat at the podium before rattling off some subdued, mumbled answers to questions directed his way, all with a silly grin on his face that reminded everyone why we love college sports. Groce praised Henry for playing maybe his best game of the season, while Paul offered words of appreciation for putting the Illini in a situation to win. Henry is somewhat of an enigma. As Groce mentioned following the game, the forward was Illinois’ leading rebounder during preseason practices, which earned him a starting position in the team’s first exhibition game of the season. He has contributed irregularly throughout the year, though. Henry moves with a kind of lackadaisical air about him, often seeming to be in slow motion. Not that he’s a lazy player, but his laid-back demeanor and frequent grin that plays on his face sometimes give off the effect of being disconnected from the game.

At 6-foot-6, 230 pounds, Henry most commonly comes off the bench at the power forward position for the undersized Illini, but his game is more fitting of a guard. Fifty of his 93 field-goal attempts this season are from 3-point range, and it’s a running joke among Daily Illini reporters whenever he comes close to setting a hard ball screen before releasing early for a pick-and-pop 3-pointer. Regardless of the severity of McLaurin’s ankle injury (which doesn’t appear to be serious enough to keep him out of Tuesday’s game against Iowa, as Groce said in his teleconference Monday), a more consistent effort from the mercurial Henry will help stabilize Illinois’ often-inconsistent offense. Griffey’s contributions continue to flux, and the Illini’s offense is significantly more potent when it has a fourth player who can stretch the floor (please refer to the Maui Invitational game tape for evidence). If Illinois can put together that type of effort again, a deep postseason run is in the cards. I’m getting a bit emotional just thinking about it.

nfortunately for me, I wasn’t one of those kids whose parents just, you know, had season tickets to things. I grew up loving teams in three different sports, and going to a game was a rare treat. In fact, it was a good day if my favorite team was playing on TV. Not being able to watch your favorite team is becoming a more distant memory with each improvement to mobile technology and Internet streaming, as well as the new era of thousands of TV channels we live in. As absurd as it sounds, people used to buy season tickets just to watch their favorite teams. That has become an antiquated notion, as tickets have become an excess, a luxury. There’s been talk since the advent of high-defi nition television about whether owning season tickets is worthwhile, given that you can get a clear and thorough picture into the team if you stay at home and watch on TV — and it’s a worthy debate. Most of my personal experience with having tickets to games is enviously congratulating my friends who have them. I’ve been to a fair amount of games, though, and when I go, I spend a lot of time looking at the Jumbotron. Obviously, anyone who was in the building for the Indiana game will contend that the “atmosphere” is priceless and that golden moments like that are not to be missed if possible. They will have a good point. But those same people also paid to see the Northwestern and Wisconsin losses, and wins like that thriller over Penn State — games during which I’d rather have been able to do something else. And basketball’s an indoor sport that takes just over two hours. Anyone with Illinois football season tickets remembers how worth it those were. Because you can’t quite comprehend how incompetent Illinois’ offense was unless you get the full scale of the field they can’t use. Football games can be cold, and if you’re watching a team as bad as the Illini were, you’re

standing in the cold for threeplus hours, paying $17 for subpar chicken strips and Dasani water (they add salt to the water, as in the same stuff that makes ocean water undrinkable), and leaving early, filled with disappointment. Television presentation subjects viewers to the varied quality of the commentating and the production quirks that can enhance the viewing experience and provide informational context that doesn’t just pop into your field of vision while you watch the game live. Of course, you could stream the game live on your computer, either legally through watchespn.com or a similar site, or illegally through firstrowsports.eu. However, streaming illegally subjects you to deceptive and obnoxious advertisements and poor streaming quality, which can be more infuriating than worthwhile . Or you could follow the game on GameCast (or GameTracker, for Illinois games). This gives you pretty detailed box score updates, so you can see how the game develops without needing to devote total attention to it. This is actually a good way to follow a game you’re mildly interested in while doing something like writing a paper or reading for class. Then, if the game gets interesting, you can just stream the fantastic fi nish. These are the tricks you learn when you live in a studio apartment without television. You can also follow the game on your mobile phone, receiving updates at the end of each quarter or when it’s a particularly close game. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to get away from sports. We went from needing to see it in person, to reading about it in a newspaper, to listening to radio updates (or broadcasts), to seeing television updates (or broadcasts), to having mobile updates, to having mobile streaming. Additionally, you don’t need to watch games with people anymore because of Twitter. You can just sit with your laptop, skim through tweets and flip back to your live stream, all for the price of free Wi-Fi. Suddenly, the opportunity cost of the atmosphere is more trouble than it’s worth.

Iditarod dog racers use strategy, patience to win BY RACHEL D’ORO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Here’s one proven way to win the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race: Let others take the early lead in the 1,000-mile trek to Alaska’s windscoured western coast. That approach might seem counterintuitive to the novice fan of the famous sled dog race. Running the Iditarod is as simple and straightforward as hitching 16 dogs in front of a sled and bolting off into the snowy horizon, right? Uh, no. Just ask some top mushers. Lagging behind to let dogs conserve their energy is among strategies employed by top mushers. But holding back can also backfire for various reasons, if the timing is miscalculated, for example, or a fierce blizzard strikes at the wrong time. Four-time champion Martin Buser had the early lead Monday, pulling into the Rohn checkpoint at 9:53 a.m. He arrived about four hours ahead of the second-place musher, Matt Failor, who also is in the checkpoint. He was followed by another musher with impressive Iditarod credentials — four-time champion Lance Mackey. He pulled into the Finger Lake checkpoint on Sunday

night, also spending just a couple of minutes resting before heading out again. For defending champion Dallas Seavey, patience and an unwavering trust in the capability of his team paid off last year, when he became the Iditarod’s youngest winner at age 25. He didn’t charge to the front until later in the race, but still reached the finish line in Nome an hour before his closest competitor. To rest some of his older veteran dogs more, Seavey sometimes carried them in his sled for long stretches. “It takes an uncommon amount of confidence in your dog team to watch those front-runners get away from you,” said Seavey, who turned 26 Monday. Rushing on, however, can exhaust a team to the point of losing. Two Rivers musher Allen Moore, who is running the Iditarod, just won the 1,000-mile Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race in February by choosing to rest his dogs. His main rival, last year’s Quest winner Hugh Neff, chose to run. “He gambled that he could go,” Moore said. “I was gambling that this rest would help me to be faster. It’s like this in the Iditarod, too. We’re just gambling on things we think will work.”

Gonzaga named No. 1 for 1st time Five Big Ten teams among nation’s top 25 BY NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPOKANE, Wash. — The todo list for the Gonzaga basketball team got shorter Monday: For the first time, the Zags were ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll. Sweet, but it may get bumpier from there. Next: Avoiding the potholes that have stopped every other No. 1 this season, then finding a way to the Final Four. “We don’t believe there is any jinx,” assistant coach Tommy Lloyd said, subbing for coach Mark Few, who was said to be fly fishing and unavailable for comment. “Obviously, it’s a dream for us, the ultimate accomplishment.” The fact that Few would skip perhaps the biggest day in program history to go fishing says much about the priorities of the coach who helped build and has sustained Gonzaga’s success. Few has repeatedly said he enjoys the balance between work and family time that Gonzaga provides, a major reason he has not left for a bigger program. Students celebrated the No. 1 ranking on the downtown campus Monday, and the food services department wheeled out a 20-foot cake that said “Congratulations Zags.” Staying No. 1 has been tough this season, with Gonzaga the fifth school to hold the spot after replacing Indiana this week. The others were Duke, Louisville and Michigan. Gonzaga, a small Jesuit school in Spokane, is where crooner Bing Crosby went and where John Stockton threaded pinpoint passes. It has the best record in Division I at 29-2 following weekend wins against BYU and Portland. The Hoosiers, beaten by Minnesota last week, dropped to No. 2.

“We’re not necessarily in pursuit of a ranking,” Lloyd said. “We’re trying to get to the NCAA tournament. When that’s over, as coaches we can look back and realize what an accomplishment it is and how difficult it is.” The Zags are the 57th school to be ranked No. 1 since the AP poll began in January 1949. The school is considered a mid-major and reached No. 2 for the first time last week. Now it will play for the first time at No. 1 on Saturday night in the West Coast Conference semifinals. The school received 51 fi rstplace votes from the 65-member national media panel, 44 more than Indiana. Duke, winner over Miami after a loss to Virginia, remained third with five fi rstplace votes. Kansas and Georgetown both jumped two spots to fourth and fifth. The Hoyas received the other two first-place votes. Miami, Michigan, Louisville, Kansas State and Michigan State rounded out the top 10. Virginia Commonwealth and UCLA, both ranked earlier in the season, returned to the poll at 21st and 23rd, respectively. Gonzaga’s rise to the top comes 14 years after the school burst onto the national scene with a surprise run to the final eight of the NCAA tournament. Since then, Few has guided the Zags to 12 conference titles, 13 trips to the tournament and four trips to the round of 16. Along the way, Gonzaga has produced a slew of NBA players, including Dan Dickau, Adam Morrison, Ronny Turiaf, Austin Daye, Robert Sacre and Jeremy Pargo. The team features players from Canada, France, Germany and Poland along with Stockton’s son, David. Kelly Olynyk, the 7-foot Canadian center, leads the team in scoring at nearly 18 points a game and averages seven rebounds. He calls the No. 1 ranking a “great milestone.” “We have a special team this year,” he said. “It shows that college basketball in the rest of the

The Illinois women’s basketball team will be a No. 6 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, which starts Thursday in Hoffman Estates, Ill. Illinois will play Wisconsin at 2 p.m. Thursday. The winner will play No. 3 seed Purdue on Friday. The No. 6 seed is the highest earned by the Illini since 2007, when they secured a No. 4 seed. Illinois fell to Penn State in the fi rst round that year and failed to make the NCAA tournament. Illinois has had its fair share of success in the conference tournament the last few years. Former head coach Jolette Law went 7-5 in five years, winning 58.3 percent of her games, eighthbest in Big Ten Tournament history. One of Law’s best tournament runs occurred during Penn’s sophomore season, when the Illini became the fi rst No. 11 seed to make the Big Ten semifi nals after upsetting Wisconsin and Michigan. Illinois’ current leaders — Penn, Moore and GodBold — were the only Illini to score in double figures in the upset of No. 3 seed Michigan, so they have experienced success in a tournament before. “I’ve played on the fi rst day every time I’ve been to the Big Ten Tournament,” Penn said after Sunday’s game. “I don’t think it’s as big of a deal as everybody makes it.” It may be a bigger deal for Illinois this season because of its lack of depth. Only six Illini play significant minutes, making it more difficult for Illinois to win four games in four days. The Big Ten Tournament may be more important for the Illini considering their late-season slide. Illinois lost its fi nal two games of the regular season and closed with three losses in four games, with the only win coming against last-place Indiana. During the stretch, Illinois struggled converting turnovers to points, being outscored 84-81 in a category that the Illini have dominated all season. Illinois uncharacteristically committed at least 20 turnovers three times in the stretch. Illinois was contending for second place in the conference before the team fell to a tie for fifth. The late slide also may have hurt Illinois’ NCAA tournament chances. EspnW bracketologist Charlie Creme moved Illinois to the “first four out” in his latest bracket, which was released Monday. Creme wrote that he believes Illinois still has a good shot at making the tournament, but it must beat Wisconsin and Purdue to feel comfortable on Selection Monday. Bollant thinks his team is worthy of a spot in the NCAA tournament because of a 6-4 record in its last 10 games and a topfive fi nish in the Big Ten, the No. 2 conference in the country, according to the RPI. Creme has six Big Ten teams in his current bracket: Penn State, Nebraska, Purdue, Michigan State, Michigan and Iowa. Iowa fi nished 8-8 in the Big Ten and is a No. 10 seed. Illinois is joined in the fi rst four out by Ohio State, a team that fi nished 7-9 in the conference and defeated Illinois on Thursday.

Gonzaga, in fact, is the first team from the state of Washington to be ranked No. 1. At the time of Gonzaga’s run to the final eight, the school had fewer than 5,000 students and was struggling with enrollment and budget issues. Today, enrollment is at 7,800 and new buildings are popping up on campus all the time. The 6,000-seat McCarthey Athletic Center, which opened in 2004, has been sold out for all but one game. The Zags have rewarded their fans with a 120-8 home record there. “Our success with basketball is a significant component of the convergence of forces that allowed us to grow,” said school president Thayne McCulloh.

Krug proves he deserves to be an Illini Will Krug comes sprinting into Irwin Indoor Facility. Krug is late because he just got done with his chemistry discussion. He has barely had time to eat, stopping to grab a provolone and cheese sandwich from Potbelly. He said he just walked fast to get to practice, although he’s out of breath when he arrives. He hasn’t missed much of practice; the team just started and the hitters have begun to hit in the cage. But Krug changes quickly into his cleats and jumps into the cage to hit. Illinois’ newest leadoff man and right fielder just has so much energy. At 5-foot-8, 155 pounds he’s not the biggest or strongest member of the Illini. “You’re not going to outwork Will,” said head coach Dan Harlteb. He takes his stance in the cage, a slight bend at the waist with his hands moving the entire time, wiggling the bat. He takes his quick swings and is ready for the next pitch almost as soon as he completes his swing. After his final pitch, he starts as if he’s running down the first base line, stopping just before the black wire mesh screen and grabbing two handfuls of balls, about five in each hand, before dumping them into the bucket to toss to the next hitter. He even gets in some practice throws, rapidly firing about four balls into the screen. A perfectionist. He’ll do something over a million times if it’s not right. Sometimes that hurts him, and he can be an over thinker. That was his case last year, and a year of experience has been huge for his psyche. He

I feel like if I can do that when I’m tired then all of the time should be good mechanics.” He’s an extremely modest person. He wouldn’t give himself credit, not for his .314 batting average — he says he doesn’t pay attention to stats and is just trying to get on base. He qualifies his new role as the leadoff man for now and couldn’t point out exactly what was different from last year. He won’t admit to being the most organized despite juggling an intense engineering curriculum schedule along with baseball. “I do what I feel like I need to do to get everything done, or try to get everything done,” Krug said. After being interviewed, he wanted to make sure he thanked his parents for all the support they have given to him, although he wasn’t sure if that was corny. He then said thank you and ran away to get back in the batting cage.

said he feels 100 times more comfortable in the batters box. “Just confidence and believing that he’s here,” said assistant coach Eric Snider. “He came here as a walk-on and sometimes kids think they’re just a walk on. It’s not the case. Krug brings it every single day. He actually works so hard I think he beats himself up.” He’s the man his coaches say would run through a wall for the good of the team. Hartleb found that out multiple times last year. Krug wasn’t recruited by many Division I schools. He can barely remember one school in New York. He decided to choose academics over attending a Division II or III school because he wanted to major in civil engineering. But Hartleb remembers Krug begging the Illini coaches to give him a chance. The coaches told him the tryout date for walk-ons, but he was still resilient in asking for just a chance. The coaches liked his intensity, his arm and his speed, and he was given a spot on the team with the Illini. He had to work to be successful, though, and it didn’t come as easily. He hit a respectable .275, but didn’t always find himself in the starting lineup. Following home games last season, after Hartleb fi nished giving interviews and showering, he’d come out to find Krug taking extra swings in the batting cage off the tee. If he could’ve done the same thing after away games, he would have. “I just make it a routine of mine, when I’m tired after the game is when I put in a lot of work to try to really get my swing down and mechanics down because my body’s tired. So

That success hasn’t come easy. Every year, the Zags seem to take on a tougher nonconference schedule to make up for their WCC schedule. This year they own wins over No. 9 Kansas State, No. 13 Oklahoma State, plus Clemson, Oklahoma, Baylor, Washington State and West Virginia. Their only losses are to Illinois and Butler. “We’ve had our struggles and battles, but we’ve made the right adjustments and calls,” Lloyd said. “We must be doing something right.” For now, the Zags, newly anointed No. 1, head to the league tournament in Las Vegas. Lloyd knows such honors go only so far. “I don’t think those teams are going to care where we are ranked,” he said.

he stayed composed. “On a day like that, you couldn’t really leaderboard watch or anything like that,” Guthrie said. “You’ve just got to put your head down when it’s tough like that and know that par is going to be a great score around here.” Guthrie said the experience of closing out tournaments at the Big Ten Championships and during the Web.com Tour helped his confidence. “The fi rst time you make a 5-footer where everything, all eyes are on you — everything starts in practice, when all your teammates are on you, kind of giving you some crap and trying to get in your head and you make that putt. Those are the things you draw back to,” he said. Even though he dropped from the top spot, the Honda Classic was Guthrie’s fi rst PGA Tour event where he finished in the top three. Pocketing just over $400,000 for his finish puts him in 25th on the money list, bringing in $621,753 in 2013 alone. Guthrie has played three events on the PGA Tour in 2012, finishing in the top 20 in all three. His previous best finish was a tie for fifth in the John Deere Classic. During Guthrie’s senior season last spring, he became the first back-to-back Big Ten champion since Northwestern’s Luke Donald captured two wins in 2000 and 2001; Guthrie became the first Illini to pull off such a feat since PGA Tour veteran Steve Stricker repeated his Big Ten Championship win in 1989. Guthrie also broke his own single-season school record with a final stroke average of 71.19 his senior year. Beginning his freshman year in 2008 as one of the top-10 ranked juniors in the nation, Guthrie posted the lowest round of his career, 6-under-par 64, at the D.A. Weibring tournament. After sinking a 60-foot birdie putt early, he went on to record the second-best score in Illinois school history. That same year, Guthrie won the Illinois State Amateur after firing a final-round 65 and posted more top-10 finishes than either Scott Langley or Chris DeForest, two other former Illini currently playing on the tour, did as a freshman the year before. His sophomore and junior years were also full of many successes. After finishing in the top 10 in four tournaments and finishing top 25 in 11, Guthrie paved his way to setting the school record for stroke average his junior year with a 71.36. That same year, he also became the first Illinois player to win the Big Ten title since 1999. Guthrie’s success in college appears to have begun as a professional, though time will tell if he can experience similar results as the likes of Stricker and Donald.

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1B all four starters from last season have graduated. Beckman expects Thomas, Eaton Spence and V’Angelo Bentley to have major contributions next season. Additionally, the center position is still up for grabs. Tony Durkin is the projected starter, but Joe Spencer and Jake Feldmeyer are expected to compete for the position. The Illini will practice three times a week for the next six weeks, with one week off for spring break. Five practices will be open to the public, including Saturday at noon. Beckman said he expects as many as 70 high school prospects to visit on Saturday. “This is what we come for: to coach football,” Beckman said. “If we would have ended up winning (last year), you’re still excited about stepping onto that football field. I’m excited about stepping out there tomorrow.”
