Student Aid Bill of Rights proposed BY JOSH WINTERS STAFF WRITER
»
The Obama administration outlined steps on Tuesday to advance a new plan to make college accessible to more students. For student trustee-elect Jaylin McClinton, junior in LAS, the announcement comes as a refreshing break from the steady stream of news surrounding potential cuts to higher education in Illinois. “Our government should be supportive of making sure that students can access education and make sure it’s affordable,” McClinton said. The president’s plan, dubbed the Student Aid Bill

Rauner’s proposed education funding cuts could drop budget to 1950s levels BY ABIGALE SVOBODA
Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed 30 percent budget cuts to higher education could bring the University back to 1950s levels of state appropriation in constant dollars, said Walter Knorr, chief fi nancial officer, during a presentation at a Board of Trustees meeting Thursday. He said the state currently owes the University $325 million in receivable funds. The University’s endowment fund growth in 2014
was the third largest in the Big Ten; the University currently has $2.3 billion in endowment funds, Knorr said. However, the funding cannot be used for administrative costs unless directed by donors. Administrative costs are currently about five percent of the University’s total operating costs, he said. Knorr said as the University copes with less state funding, there may be an increase in the use of endowment funds. However, Chancellor Phyllis Wise
clarified that the University will never ask or guide donors to designate funds to administrative costs. Although the University is struggling for state funding, it received a total of $175 million in donations in 2014. The University is ranked fi fth in the nation for research funding, and ranked third in the Big Ten by the National Science Foundation.

Plan proposed to evaluate new teachers
BY SHARON NOGUCHI TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SAN JOSE, Calif. — With fresh credentials in hand, enthusiastic and energetic teachers charge into classrooms hoping to change young lives. But in the fi rst year they often end up feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and unprepared to teach and manage classes. Now the Obama administration wants to improve teacher training so that newly minted teachers arrive prepared and able to deliver high-quality instruction. Too many teacher credential programs focus on theory, critics say, and devote too little time to instructing teachers on how to teach. In an unprecedented plan that uses federal dollars as a lure, Uncle Sam would grade education schools and alternative
training programs — partly on how well new teachers’ students perform on standardized tests..The federal Department of Education published proposed regulations in December, gathered comment and could issue fi nal rules by midyear. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has labeled U.S. teacher preparation “mediocre” and has called for “revolutionary change.” “If you’re an engineer teaching bridge-building techniques and you taught a flawed method, you would be censured by your peers,” said Kate Walsh, president of the advocacy group National Council on Teacher Quality. She maintains that programs are failing to prepare teachers and are not transparent about their results or effectiveness. The proposed regulations

The proposal will be sent to the Illinois Board of Higher Education for approval. If approved, it will be forwarded to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education for approval, which could take a year, said Adesida.

receive the waivers. Rep. Jack Franks, D-63, proposed the bill in an effort to save the state an estimated $10 million per year, reversing a 1998 statute that grants tuition waivers. In his proposal, students beginning college in the fall of 2015 would not receive waivers. Students who are already in school would maintain eligibility until graduation. The waivers would be phased out by 2018. Franks said this would save the state about $10 million. The fact sheet highlights that if the bill is passed, students who are currently eligible for the waiver may not be able to attend college.
Additionally, the sheet states 100 percent tuition waivers are not uncommon in other states, which could force high quality faculty and staff to go to other institutions. The waivers currently cover 50 percent of tuition. Currently, the dependents of 2,548 faculty members, 3,665 administrative and academic professional staff and 4,136 support staff at the Urbana campus alone, are eligible for tuition waivers. Seven other Illinois public universities and seven professional organizations have also signed the fact sheet.

Adesida said there is flexibility in the timeline, but the University hopes to enroll the first class of 25 students by 2017. Easter told trustees Wednesday that he grappled with the proposal for a long time and ultimately decided on three criteria the college needed to meet: advancement of the land grant mission, advancement of research and educational missions and economic feasibility. “I was as skeptical as any,” Easter said.

Officials aren’t the only ones excited about the new college. Danielle Leibowitz, Chicago student trustee, said she is feeling “increasingly enthusiastic” about the new college.

Gerard echoed Feinen’s sentiment in support of the University after community members asked how the candidates would improve the north end of Champaign. “The greatest opportunity for the north end is going to be the vision for a medical campus at the University of Illinois because that will substantially be North of the University,” Gerard said. “The economic opportunity is incredible.” The availability of green jobs in the area was also discussed at the forum. Feinen and Petry said the University is vital for producing available jobs and to provide research on green technologies. “The economic engine in this community is the Uni-

very young person has the right to an education, but as we have been reminded time and time again, this is often difficult to achieve for a multitude of reasons. Namely, attending a university is expensive, and for the students who are fortunate enough to be able to attend, many of them leave with loans that can take years to pay off. We have pointed out this problem at our own University with regards to tuition costs, but the issue of college affordability extends across other states as well, making it an issue that deserves national recognition. Fortunately, President Barack Obama recognizes that the federal government needs to do more to make college more affordable and has developed a program that will hopefully better address this problem. President Obama recently introduced a “Student Aid Bill of Rights,� which is a program designed to “improve the manner in which the federal government interacts with students,� according to an article from USA Today. The bill states, “every student in America should have access to high quality, affordable higher education, be able to easily find resources to pay for college, be able to choose an affordable repayment plan for student loans, and receive quality customer service, reliable information, and fair treatment when repaying loans.� It’s important that the president is acknowledging how high the cost of education is and is looking into ways to improve students’ education. These four rights introduced in the bill — which aim to make higher education more equitable and attainable — are definitely something we can get behind. Plans from the Student Aid Bill of Rights include making new rules for organizations that collect loan payments, better informing people about repayment options and directing the Department of Education and other federal agencies to help with loan repayments. Even on our own campus, the Student Aid Bill of Rights is gaining support. Newly elected student trustee Jaylin McClinton acknowledged his support for this student bill in an article published in The Daily Illini today. We hope McClinton can push for the items on the Student Aid Bill of Rights and let the federal government know that these are issues that are important to students. We hope the president can follow through with these plans and improve the cost of education not just here at the University, but at colleges and universities across the nation. The country benefits from more citizens going to college, so the federal government and universities should be doing all they can to make affordable college a reality for all students.

ALL THAT JAZZ
BETTER THAN REVENGE
Jazz Jennings is like any 14-year-old — she takes selfies and she probably likes the new Carly Rae Jepsen song as much as the rest of us. Jazz is also a published author, the new face of Clean & Clear, has a show coming to TLC, is transgender and hugely advocates for the LGBTQ population. Hopefully this sudden burst of popularity doesn’t go away any time soon, because this girl seems awesome and we can’t wait to see more of her.
Taylor Swift is tall, blond and leggy — and may or may not have insured those legs for $40 million. While these rumors were lightly circulating before, a few days ago when T-Swift’s sassy cat Meredith scratched her, the rumors flied. We don’t know how Meredith is going to rack up the funds to pay off this huge debt, but we can only imagine that having Taylor Swift as your mom must come with some monetary benefits.

PI DAY
RUNAWAY BRIDE
Another happy Pi Day came and went. For anyone who took some sort of trigonometry math class in high school, chances are you will always have the number 3.1415 ingrained in your head. We’ve never really been sure what pi really is, but it’s totally worth a day of punny celebration. If you didn’t eat a McDonald’s apple pie on 3/14/15, you did it wrong.
In New Delhi, a bride walked out of her wedding ceremony after her groom failed to correctly answer the sum of 15 plus six. Being that it was an arranged marriage, the bride’s father said the groom’s family misled them about the groom’s education. And, hey, to be completely fair, at least the woman knows what she wants (or doesn’t want). All the single ladies!
Donate more than money KAANAN RAJA Opinions columnist
E
very April during my four years in high school, the faculty members and students from every grade gathered together in our school’s gymnasium in support of a nationally known foundation, St. Baldrick’s. During this event, members of my community would get their heads shaved and stood bald proudly beside kids with cancer in order to show support. During the months leading up to the event and during the event itself, the “shavees� also raised funds for life-saving childhood cancer research. In the midst of speeches and shaving, the gymnasium roared with enthusiasm for our friends, teachers and family members who were preparing to go bald. It was here that I witnessed first-hand a type of solidarity from the shavees that changed the way I viewed charity. St. Baldrick’s took something that is incredibly personal, such as hair, and rendered it unimportant in order
to show support for cancer patients. This type of sacrifice went above and beyond donating money and instead, displayed a new level of empathy. To me, events such as St. Baldrick’s illustrate how important it is to show support, not just through donating money, but by taking extra steps of giving. On April 12, the University will be hosting its very own St. Baldrick’s event where students, faculty members and residents of the ChampaignUrbana area will be shaving their heads for this cause. Sheel Vasavada, freshman in Division of General Studies and participant in this April’s St. Baldrick’s event, found that her passion for the organization couldn’t be satisfied by only donating money. “I chose to shave my head because not only do childhood cancer incidents really hit home in my family, but I also feel that simply donating to the organization would not do my feelings toward the cause justice.� This empathy that Vasavada displays is what distinguishes charity events from other events that sometimes flood our campus. While there are plenty of registered student organiza-
tion fundraisers and Greek events in which you only have to drop spare change to give to a charity, I think true volunteerism is displaying empathy through active participation. While some may regard shaving their heads as an option not viable to them, St. Baldrick’s is only one way this campus’ students can rally behind showing true charity. One Winter Night is an annual fundraiser in Champaign that last took place on Feb. 6, where people spent the night outside to raise awareness and help the homeless. Not only did this event raise $100,000 via community members, but it also provides a night in which citizens of Champaign-Urbana can empathize with those less fortunate than us who we pass by on a daily basis. Even our campus’ RSO Habitat for Humanity can be another option to display support and active participation. Habitat for Humanity participants build and rehabilitate homes of inhabitants of Champaign-Urbana so that they are affordable for lowincome families of the area. The students not only aid in the RSO’s fundraising events
held throughout the year, but they also actively construct and improve homes for those that cannot afford to do so. By putting in physical labor rather than simply donating money, these students can show how much they are truly passionate about the cause they choose to support. As college students, it’s often hard to take time out of our busy schedules to actively participate. We often prefer to give the very little cash we carry toward the booths and small fundraisers that we sometimes see standing in front of the Union. While I encourage my fellow peers to donate to such fundraisers if they can do so, it’s also important to not think of this as our only means of contributing to society. Money can be a way of contributing to a cause, but it shouldn’t be the only way. Regardless of what cause you choose to participate in, do so with a full heart. After all, we won’t be able to cause change in the world with apathy — it’s passion and devotion to causes we care about that will end up doing so.

‘The American Dream is dead’ THOMAS DOWLING Opinions columnist
L
ast week, the University of Illinois Cline Center for Democracy hosted its 20th Cline Symposium. The symposium comprises a keynote speaker, faculty lead round table and small group discussion for the participants. Each year, professors are given the opportunity to nominate students to participate in the symposium. The annual public affairs forum brings notable speakers and researchers from around the country and focuses on student engagement. This year’s focus was “Restoring the Promise of Higher Education.� As a nominated participant, I had the opportunity to hear from the leading academics in the field of public policy, including Dr. Suzanne Mettler from Cornell University. The speakers took a critical look at higher education. American universities have always been intertwined with the “American Dream.� James Truslow Adams put it best when he said, “Life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.� American universities are supposed
to provide anyone with the opportunity to achieve their dreams. However, after two days of talks, conversations and debates, I have no choice but to conclude that the American Dream is dead. The American university system is without a doubt one of the best in the world. In the 2010-2011 academic year, 723,277 foreign students came to United States’ universities with the knowledge that they would be receiving an unparalleled education. On the surface, this sounds like good news. The United States has the educational infrastructure required to ensure its global intellectual supremacy. But the problem is, the high quality of education needed to be successful in today’s global economy is limited to a select few. In 1848, Horace Mann invented a higher education myth. He claimed institutions of higher learning were the “great equalizer,� the foundation of American social mobility. By providing everyone with high level learning, everyone has an equal chance to succeed. In 2011, Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education echoed Mann, stating, “In America, education is still the great equalizer.� Still, it seems Duncan and Mann couldn’t have been farther from the truth about higher education in America. According to the Pew
Research Center, 81 percent of high-income high school graduates enroll in two or four year institutions. Only 51 percent of low-income high school graduates are able to have that same privilege. The vast majority of Americans do not have the opportunity to go an institution of higher learning. Those who are at the bottom of society are excluded from the so called “great equalizer.� But that’s just high school graduates. There are still students who drop out of high school, like students in the nine states with a graduation rate of less than 65 percent for low-income students. Conversely, there are 14 states with a graduation rate higher than 90 percent among students of higher income levels. The reality is, if you are from a low-income family and attending college, you are the exception. I am sick and tired of hearing that the American Dream is alive and well. That phrase is a useless trope. The United States is ranked 13th out of the 17 advanced economy countries in terms of social mobility. Your parent’s wealth is directly related to your future earnings in this country. To those who are thinking about the story of your grandparents, or your uncle or your uncle’s girlfriend’s sister who started out with nothing, and is now incredibly success-
ful, let me stop you for just a second. The American idea of being able to “pull yourself up by your bootstraps� is as fundamental to American identity as the Stars and Stripes. Everyone has a story of someone who defied the odds and made it big in the end. But nobody stops to think about why those stories exist. If people were escaping poverty with any degree of regularity, these stories wouldn’t be told. The bootstrap story is inspiring because it is rare. It almost seems like you have a better chance winning the lottery than succeeding without a college degree, and far too many people don’t get to make that choice for themselves. All of the statistics above show that low income earners are denied access to college. We cannot claim to be an egalitarian and socially mobile state if a huge group of individuals can’t even get on the playing field. People far more qualified than me have been fighting over higher education reform for decades. I refuse to pontificate about something so complicated with the knowledge I have. But I do know this: People have faith in the American Dream. People believe that in the United States, you can go anywhere with your own pluck.

SELMA accepted, just the way things are. If you don’t have someone telling you that it’s wrong, it’s just easy to go along with the way things are.” *** When Baird and four other students started their drive to Selma, he said they were scared. Not only did they have friends who were arrested, but they read stories about two white men who were murdered for protesting. Baird said he feared the whites more than the blacks in the south. “I was afraid of the white community,” he said. “If someone found us five young people with Illinois license plates driving toward the south in Alabama, they could’ve rear-ended us or driven us off the road and kill us. There was history of whites in the south killing northern whites.” However, they were welcomed with hospitality when they entered the home of a widowed African-American woman in Selma. “The lady was just lovely. It’s just what you expect nice people to be like. We felt comfortable; it was like being with a friend,” Baird said. “She was probably surprised that we were kind to her. She may not have known many white people smiled at her and thanked her and treated her as a human being.” With music playing, the black community members of Selma filled their dinner plates with grits, mashed potatoes and fried chicken. Baird and his group were thanked tremendously for their efforts at the dinner. “This is my country, the country I’m going to live in for the rest of my life. I want to live in a country where people have hope, where people are not bitter,” Baird said. “I don’t want to live in a
country where the black community is bitter toward the white community. I want my life to be a statement of promoting justice and fairness and peace.” But a day later, they attended a church ceremony, where King preached before they started the march. “I was thinking this is huge national event, and I’m here. I’m part of it. It was thrilling,” Baird said. “The words I don’t remember, but it was moving, reassuring and encouraging that we are doing the right thing, and the lord will protect us.” During the sermon, helicopters swarmed above. National Guardsmen with carbine rifles surrounded the perimeter. Baird will never forget the hope in everyone’s eyes as they realized the nation finally cared. But now, he sees one of the most hurtful parts of that day more clearly: the harassment as they stepped onto the bridge. One spit in a marcher’s camera lens, others called the northerners white trash as they walked in the crowd. Although he didn’t do anything about it at the time, he knows how he would respond today. “If I had a chance to talk to those white people at the side of the road, they would see that I’m like them in most ways. We’ve all hurt when a loved one dies; we’ve all loved our children and we bleed when we get hurt. We are people, and we could connect on so many good levels,” Baird said. “It’s just too bad that there’s this wedge between us.” Baird left for the University before the crowd reached Montgomery, but Mary McCreary, another University student who traveled in the group, stayed. Standing in an ocean of people, she said she had never seen so many people congregated for one purpose.
Monday, March 16, 2015
“You felt powerful because you were one of many, but as you look at yourself as one, you felt insignificant. That was what really hit me, look what we can do when we combine our efforts,” McCreary said. “I am so proud that I had the opportunity to go and help in that way. To help change history somewhat and to be a part of something that so many people believed in, acted on and marched for. It was the chance of a lifetime.” *** As Baird reread the title of the envelope, holding news clips and published magazine photos from Selma, he saw the progress the U.S. has made. “My experience in Selma gave me hope to know that there are thousands of people who believe in human dignity, fairness and justice,” Baird said. “Progress was made. It’s an example that people can get together at grassroot levels, and we can make change happen. And we need to do that as much as ever.” At the 50th anniversary, though, he said he believes returning to this past and learning about its purpose is crucial. While he expressed concerns about racial equality in the U.S. today, citing the events of Ferguson, Baird said it’s the unity that he saw at Selma that gives him hope. “It’s going to take a lot of struggle and a larger portion of our citizens stepping and speaking out to make that happen. People have to not be focused on their own life and personal interests,” he said. “People need to stand up for what’s right. We all have a responsibility for speaking out and guaranteeing that the United States of America needs us all to work toward promoting a better country with more justice, fairness and peace.”

comic books from vintage and Bangladesh sellers. As for the cataloguing process, the Indian comics were quite a “beast,” said Nicole Ream-Sotomayor, foreign language cataloging specialist. In fact, the comics proved to be the hardest material she has ever had to catalog, she said. Apart from creating an entirely new database for the Indian comics, she also had to teach herself how to read Hindi and Bengali scripts first. But even if the process was long and arduous, the value the collection brings to the University is well worth it — a thought that Ward, Thacker and ReamSotomayor all agreed on. “That’s the great thing about a library,” Thacker said. “I view us not as just the partners in education and a repository of books and online resources. We’re also supposed to be a center for cultural and intellectual life on campus — and part of that can be fun.”

Lining the walls in Murphy Gallery, Art @ the Y is presenting its newest exhibition, HERstory, at the University YMCA. The show is free and open to the public Mondays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. HERstory, which is on view through April 10, seeks to engage issues of feminism, faith and cultural understanding through duplicated images of the Virgin Mary. Carolyn Jonauskas McCarrick, a MFA candidate in Sculpture, uses screen-printing as a way to disperse information and show the commonalities between religions and how it affects one’s culture. More of her work can be found on her website at cjmccarrick.com. The Daily Illini was able to talk with McCarrick about her work, the gallery and the upcoming closing reception for HERstory on April 9 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. during the Boneyard Arts Festival Reception.
kind of have a good cycle that gets you through it.
DI: Can you briefly talk about the title and story behind your work? CJM: It was kind of like a pun of HERstory and history, you know, regendering history. The work is investigating religious histories, religious idols and women in religion and in representation. Why only in the big three — I mean, Hinduism and Buddhism are a little different in the way that women are represented or are included in their faiths — but Islam, Judaism and Christianity, the big three, are a maledominated space, both in the practice and in the dogma, as well as the hierarchy and the authorities. Why is that there? Why is it like that? And what does that do to the culture? Because religion is so steeped in the way society works and how cultures work. How does that affect how we view women and how women view themselves?
The Daily Illini: How did you first get involved with creating art?
DI: What personally inspired you to do HERstory?
Carolyn Jonauskas McCarrick: I was always making art as a kid. I come from a family of makers; we make things. It feels good to make stuff ... I was really lucky all of my schools had really great art programs to the point where I ended up going to college for art. I have a bachelor in Fine Arts, and I wanted to get my MFA, because I wanted to just keep going, investing and keep pushing myself to see where that could lead. So that’s why I’m here, getting a degree. I like making art. It’s satisfying. It’s hard. Those are good things you want in a job, right? It’s hard work, but it feels good in the end, so you
CJM: The idea for HERstory is both the continuation of my own practice. I do work with religion, most recently, bringing my own feminist ideas into it, as well, but the idea from HERstory came from some readings about spiritual feminism... I wanted to connect that to this work and kind of bring it up.
DI: Why did you choose the Virgin Mary as the main focus of HERstory? CJM: HERstory, kind of referencing history and her story, like where did she go? The big icon, the Virgin Mary, who’s represented in
the work kind of symbolizes one of the few remaining — the few identified — that’s still around, but yet she’s still stripped of all of her agency. Her story continues because of the story of Jesus. We don’t know much about what she did or who she was. Those sorts of things are completely stripped away in imagery and retelling. I wanted to kind of point to the collection of histories that stem into what informs how she became in religion — where she kind of comes from — and show the depth that religious history has that maybe has been lost to, I think, our detriment.
BEARDO
CJM: It’s screen printed. It’s from the same source, and a part of that was because of the time limit. I had to make work fast. And part of it was because it’s almost political. I found that when I was looking at the work, it looked like a propaganda poster linedup in bright colors and white; graphic. It kind of starts to look political, which is something very present in what I’m trying to say.
DI: What’s one thing you want people to take away from HERstory? CJM: I want people to come open and leave open. If I could make that so, that would be what I think I’d want. I try not to think dogmatically about my work ... so I want people to maybe be open, to come to it and realize some things about the way that maybe their religion or other religions are and the way that they intersect and feed into the way we are as people and to be more open and to be more inclusive.

Alumnus remembers Selma march BY SARAH FOSTER STAFF WRITER
J
ohn Baird felt the edges of a large envelope. He found it at his home buried in a box, wedged between newspaper front pages and term papers from his years at the University. The basement of his house in Decatur, Illinois, was his personal time capsule, and as he shuffled through its contents, he started to remember that day in 1965. He still hears the sermon from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He remembers crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge while the southern whites screamed, “Yankee trash, go home!� He remembers the blood, the sweat, the tears, but most importantly, the chance at a better life for African-Americans. As his eyes scanned the title of the envelope, it all came back to him. The engraving read “Selma.� *** With the 50th anniversary of the protests in Selma on March 25, Baird was inspired to return to his past. The campaign, led by King, started as a march through Selma, Alabama, as both whites and blacks used civil disobedience to fight for equal voting rights. Though facing violence and brutality from both police and southern whites in the process, the crowd finally arrived at the steps of the Alabama capitol — after 54 miles and five days. Sundiata Cha-Jua, professor of history and African-American studies, said the Selma campaign was a pivotal moment for
civil rights, leading to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. “The campaign targeted voting rights because local activists and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King all believed voting rights would shift the power relations between African-Americans and Euro-Americans in the South,� Cha-Jua said. “They believed with the vote, blacks could gain control or leverage on law enforcement, criminal justice, city and county clerk offices and gain access to the better municipal services.� The majority of the marchers were African-American. But dispersed throughout, whites like John Baird felt called to fight for equal rights as well. *** Baird was a rare case. He didn’t follow the segregation customs. His parents frequently spent evenings with another AfricanAmerican family. His mother kept a book about the Montgomery Bus Boycott on one of her shelves. The pastor of his church in Decatur picketed in front of the courthouse in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for equal voting rights. While he was a student at the University in 1965, he heard that the McKinley Foundation was taking a group down to the next march in Selma. His childhood, his family and his pastor taught him that it was the right thing to do. “Anyone who has any sense of fairness and justice at all sees that equal rights are the right thing. Our constitution says all men are created equal,� Baird said. “It was

UGL boasts record number of Indian comics BY STEPHANIE KIM STAFF WRITER
Resting on the shelves in the basement of the Undergraduate Library is a collection unique to the country: the largest collection of Indian comics in North America. “Nobody else in the country has a collection like this,� said Mara Thacker, librarian and professor in South Asian studies. “People might have started buying comics, but certainly not at the rate and volume we are.� The collection, which is nearing a thousand pieces in volume, includes comics ranging from tales of South Asian religion and mythology to Western-influenced superhero plots. Some are printed in English while others are written in Hindi and Bengali scripts. Thacker first came up with the idea of starting the collection in 2012, with the help of David Ward,
reference services librarian at the UGL. Ward asked whether she knew about any Indian comics to add to the UGL’s graphic novel collection. Since then, the collection became a collaborative project between the International and Area Studies Library and the UGL, which Thacker said also ties in with the overall goal of making University libraries more diverse for its patrons. “The uniqueness is one of the things we first thought about,� Ward said. “It’s an area that’s not being collected heavily elsewhere in the United States, which provides the opportunity to have this unique collection.� At around the same time, Thacker attended a workshop for the Committee on South Asian Libraries and Documentation to discuss the specialization for each university involved. That’s when she real-
ized nobody had collected comics from South Asia, she said. “I really wanted an area that was manageable and wasn’t being done anywhere else and was personally interesting for me,� she added. However, while students, faculty and community members can easily access these comics now, it took about a year and a half before the books were finally on the shelves. Thacker said building any collection is challenging — let alone one that consists of material that is “nearly impossible� to purchase and very difficult to catalogue. “People have no idea of the amount of back work behind the scenes just to make a book available,� she said. Because Indian comics are hard to find in the US and most Indian sellers do not ship internationally, Thacker had no other choice but to go to India to make purchases. In 2013, she traveled to India

Baseball wins 2 of 3 games against SIU over weekend BY MICHAL DWOJAK ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
Casey Fletcher slowly strolled to the plate as music blared from the Illinois Field speakers. The center fielder’s two previous at-bats on Sunday hadn’t been strong, but with Illinois and Southern Illinois tied at one in the bottom of the eighth inning, Fletcher stepped up. With an 0-2 count, Fletcher sent Southern Illinois relief pitcher Ryan Netemeyer’s pitch over the right field wall for a home run. As he stepped on first base, the senior lifted his right arm and raised his right hand — his solo shot giving Illinois a lead it would not relinquish. Three batters later, first baseman David Kerian hit a two-run home run to give Illinois a 4-1 lead and the series win. The homers helped propel Illinois (14-4-1) to a win in the rubber match against Southern Illinois (3-15), after splitting the first two games of the series. “We had to get the series win,� Fletcher said. “We like to think that we’re the best team in the state and we want to hold true to that.� Southern Illinois started off the scoring in the third with three straight singles. Shortstop Chase Slone’s single gave the Salukis a 1-0 lead. Starting pitcher John Kravetz pitched out of the
jam, though, giving up the lone run. The Salukis’ lead was short-lived — Pat McInerney hit a solo home run in the bottom of the third to tie the game 1-1. In the bottom of the sixth, Netemeyer came into the game for the Salukis and walked three straight batters to load the bases, but Illinois’ Ryan Nagle hit into a double play to end the inning and maintain the tie. Kravetz pitched seven innings, giving up one run on six hits and adding two strikeouts. Closer Tyler Jay finished the game and recorded the win. Although Kravetz didn’t get the win, head coach Dan Hartleb lauded the senior’s ability to deliver a quality start. “That’s why we’ve been so successful. (The starting pitchers) are unselfish,� Hartleb said. “Those guys come out there to put us in a position to win. It’s about quality starts, not just wins and losses.� The Illini started the weekend cold Friday. Illinois managed seven hits, but none brought in a run. The team’s best scoring opportunity came in the second when McInerney led off with a single and advanced to second on a passed ball, but was

Illini to face Alabama in NIT Illinois fails to make NCAA tournament BY NICHOLAS FORTIN STAFF WRITER
The Illinois men’s basketball team didn’t expect to be here. Heading into this season, Illinois was projected to be in contention for an NCAA tournament berth. The team faced injuries, suspensions and other obstacles throughout the season that, in the end, proved detrimental to its postseason chances. Instead of playing in the NCAA tournament, the Illini (19-13, 9-9 Big Ten) will return to the National Invitational Tournament for a second year, this time as a 3-seed, and will face 6-seed Alabama (18-14, 8-10 SEC) in the first round on Tuesday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. “We understand it’s a great opportunity,� head coach John Groce said. “All the teams that are in the NIT would tell you that they would have preferred to be in the NCAA tournament.�

The Illinois men’s track and field team garnered five top-15 fi nishes and left with three fi rst-team All-Americans at the NCAA Indoor Championships, where the Illini fi nished in 23rd. “Although we fell just short of our program goal of a top-20 fi nish, we are pleased with 23rd place as a team,� head coach Mike Turk said. The meet was held over the weekend in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where Oregon won its second-straight indoor crown. The 4x400 meter relay was the Illini’s best fi nish. The team of senior DJ Zahn, sophomores David Kendziera and Kenneth Allen and junior Joe McAsey ran a time of 3 minutes and 6.58 seconds, the fourthbest time of the meet. This time broke an eight-year-old school record. Turk was pleased with his team’s efforts after the meet. Zahn also fi nished seventh in the 400 meters with a time of 46.69. He continued his impressive senior season after his record-breaking Big Ten meet, where he won three events. Zahn was awarded first-team AllAmerican honors.

This offseason, the Illinois football team brought in an NFL coaching veteran to shore up its weakest area. With the dismissal of defensive line coach Greg Colby at the end of the season, the Illini hired Mike Phair to coach the defensive line and gave him the codefensive coordinator title. While it’s unclear who will be calling plays alongside incumbent defensive coordinator Tim Banks, Phair is expected to work with the defensive linemen. Phair was the defensive line coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season and held at the same position with the Chicago Bears from 2011-13. Phair’s last stint as a college coach was in 2001, when he was the linebackers coach at Tiffin University in Tiffin, Ohio. While it’s been over a decade since Phair was in the college ranks, his coaching style is a familiar one to Illini players. “He’s like coach Cubit, he wants everything perfect,� senior Jihad Ward said. “We definitely need a coach like him. He’s a great coach.� “I’m all about the details,� Phair added. “Pay attention to all the details and trying to teach the guys that details matter. “I’ve never been called a perfectionist, though,� he said with a laugh. Last year, the Illini defense allowed nearly 240 yards per game on the ground, the worst in the Big Ten.
Illinois will benefit from getting healthy this season. Linebacker Mike Svetina will return after a broken foot forced him to miss the entire 2014 season after starting 11 games as a sophomore in 2013. He was a full participant in Sunday’s practice.

In addition, defensive lineman Teko Powell, who missed all but three games last year with a foot injury of his own, will return this fall although is not expected to be available at all this spring. Powell was granted a medical redshirt for last season. “At that position, you’ve got to be perfect,� head coach Tim Beckman said. “We all know that the game of football is won in the trenches.� In addition to stopping the run, the Illini will need to work on turnovers. Illinois was 81st in the nation in turnover margin, at minus-3, and each defensive positional group spent a portion of Sunday’s practice on stripping the ball. The first defender

Richartz sets school record, earns honors BY ALEX WALLNER STAFF WRITER
Steph a n ie R ich a r tz accomplished yet another feat in her historic Illinois career at the NCAA Indoor Women’s Track and Field Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas, over the weekend. The senior was named first-team All-American for the second time in her career, while keeping her ranking of third out of 16 individuals and breaking her own school record. “Being an All-American means finishing in the top eight in the country and that is definitely an accomplishment,” Richartz said. “Being a repeat All-Amer-
ican is an honor. It was special this year because I wasn’t fighting for a spot just in the top eight — I was fighting for a spot in the top three.” Her mark of 4.45 meters outlasted Stephen F. Austin’s Demi Payne, who came in with the NCAA pole vault record, and Texas’ Kaitlin Petrillose, who Richartz was tied with going into the weekend. Arkansas senior Sandi Morris won with a mark of 4.60 meters and Duke’s Megan Clark earned second, edging Richartz by five tenths of a meter. Morris and Clark both earned first-team All-American honors as well.
“It certainly wasn’t what I expected — I came in with a slightly different plan,” Richartz said. “But plans get changed and it was a battle, but I fought pretty well so I was happy with the end result.” Going into the weekend, head coach Ron Garner hoped that Richartz’s nerves wouldn’t get rattled. Even though that happened, Garner thought her day was a success. “The way she competed and cleared the bars was a great example of the determination she has displayed to overcome the challenges she faced in her career,” Garner said in a press release. “She was right in
the mix through the end. She gave her best effort today, and I have come to expect nothing less than that from her.” One thing that both Richartz and pole vault coach Bryan Carrel have mastered is the art of preparation, especially preparing for the biggest meet of the season. Carrel said that Richartz couldn’t have prepared any better during the week and that her third-place finish could have easily been fourth — especially given the competitiveness of the vaulters. “It was a real shootout of a meet,” Carrel said. “Richartz got in there and

The Illinois women’s gymnastics team finished first at Saturday’s Big Five Meet at the Devaney Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. Sophomore Mary Jane Horth said the win gives her team confidence heading into next weekend’s Big Ten Championships. “We definitely had awesome performances on all four events,” Horth said. “Whether the scores were there or not, we were definitely proud of how we did today and proud to come out on top.” No. 13 Illinois scored a 196.050 to take the win, while No. 9 Nebraska recovered from a rough start on the uneven bars to finish second with a 196.000. No. 25 Michigan State and Ohio State tied for third at 195.250. Maryland finished last with a 194.875.

Head coach Kim Landrus said her team’s strong start on vault, a 49.000, gave it momentum for the remainder of the competition.

The Illinois women’s tennis team moved to 7-4 on the season with a win over South Florida on Sunday. The Illini, led by sophomore Louise Kwong and freshman Grace Tapak, defeated the Bulls 4-3. Illinois started hot in Tampa Bay, Fla., winning the doubles point after impressive performances at the No. 1 and No. 3 spots. Kwong and senior Melissa Kopinski defeated Olaya Garrido-Rivas and Jessica Cortes 7-5 at the No. 1 spot, while Tapak and sophomore Alexis Casati got a win at the No. 3 spot over Juliana Cardoso and Hailey Grillo, also by a 7-5 score. Kopinski and Kwong extended their winning streak to four straight matches, while Casati and Tapak picked up their third win together on the season. Illinois head coach Michelle Dasso stressed the importance of doubles all week in practice. It was for good reason because the doubles point on Sunday was crucial for the Illini. “Doubles is very important in college tennis,” Dasso said. “That is a huge part of what makes college tennis so special, and to start off with the first-overall point of the match gives you momentum and a little more room to breathe in singles.” Tapak certainly took that momentum from her doubles victory into her singles match at the No. 5 spot. The freshman defeated Hailey Grillo 6-1, 6-1 in straight sets, giving the Illini their second
point of the match. After that match concluded, however, USF began to make a push. Sophomore Madie Baillon fell to Olga Martinez in straight sets 2-6, 4-6. Nevertheless, the Illini responded. Kwong extended the Illinois lead to 3-1 after winning at the No. 3 spot 6-2, 6-3 over Jessica Cortes. Kwong also felt that she and her team benefited greatly in singles after picking up a win in the doubles portion of the match. “Our match went to 4-3, so that doubles point was huge since that is what made the difference,” Kwong said. “We’ve been working all week in doubles, and I’m glad it paid off.” After Jade Hilton fell at the No. 6 spot against Juliana Cardoso 5-7, 2-6, the Illini looked toward their captain, Kopinski, to finish off the Bulls. Kopinski answered the call, sealing an Illinois victory and breaking the tie after defeating Vera Bessonova at the No. 2 spot 7-5, 6-2. Dasso felt that road victory was a big confidence booster for the Illini and believes that her team gained essential experience that can be used as the season progresses. “This win on the road, outdoors in the heat gives us valuable match experience in those elements,” Dasso said. “We have a couple more nonconference matches outdoors and strive to be one the most prepared teams in the Big Ten when it comes to playing outdoor tennis.”

will not be the case for the Illini, who will have to play all of their games on the road. With the ongoing renovations to State Farm Center, the Illini will have to play all their games on the road, should they advance past Alabama on Tuesday. The Illini have been inconsistent all season and have played significantly worse away from home — Illinois is 2-8 on the road this year, not counting neutral-site games. Alabama finished eighth in
the SEC this season and is one of two SEC teams in the NIT field. The Illini are the only Big Ten team in this year’s NIT. “(Alabama’s) great on the glass,” Groce said. “They’re very athletic. They’re very long. They’ve shot a really high percentage from the two-point area.” If Illinois were to advance past the first round the Illini would face the winner of Miami and N.C. Central. Illinois lost to Miami 70-61 on
Dec. 2. Last season, the No. 2-seeded Illini beat Boston University 66-62 in the first round of the NIT before falling to Clemson 50-49 in the second round. Like this season, both of those games were on the road because of State Farm Center renovations. With Illinois’ NIT selection, the Illini will miss the NCAA tournament for the secondstraight year; the first time the program has done so since the 1991-1992 season.
Groce said the team will hopefully come into the NIT willing to learn as much as it can from this year’s postseason play. “Any time you can get in postseason play, it’s a great opportunity,” Groce said. “Guys continue to learn and grow and learn from the tournament. “We’re going to try to make the most of this opportunity.”

time Saturday. After a onetwo-three inning by starting pitcher Drasen Johnson in the top of the first, the Illini began the game with four straight hits. Shortstop Adam Walton led off with a single and advanced to second when the center fielder misplayed the ball. Fletcher drove in Walton with a single and moved to second on a Reid Roper single. Both scored on a McInerney double to right field, giving Illinois a 3-0 lead. Those three runs would be enough for Illinois — the senior Johnson threw his third career complete game and gave up two runs on 10
hits. He was given the opportunity to pitch all nine frames when the Illini scored three insurance runs in the eighth, taking away a save opportunity for Jay. Kravetz knew the importance of winning the games on Saturday and Sunday after dropping Friday’s opener. “After Friday, it kind of put the pressure on us, it woke us up a little bit,” Kravetz said. “I think we took them lightly at first, but after that, it woke us up.

Illini defeat 2 top-10 teams STAFF WRITER
The Illinois men’s tennis team is tearing it up on its “March Through Texas” trip. The No. 4 Illini defeated two top-10 teams in two days over the weekend, beating No. 9 Texas 4-2 on Saturday and No. 8 Texas A&M 4-2 on Sunday. Even without usual-No. 1 singles player Farris Gosea, who was suspended for breaking team rules, new doubles lineups gave the Illini an early lead in Austin, Texas, and the team’s stellar freshmen secured the victory in College Station, Texas. The Illini broke out some new doubles teams against the Longhorns. The Illini’s usual top duo of No. 12 Ross Guignon and Tim Kopinski didn’t play this weekend, even as Illinois faced three nationally ranked doubles pairs.

second loss of the spring. But the Illini’s depth shone through, and victories on courts three, four and six secured the win for the Illini. No. 49 Aleks Vukic and No. 76 Aron Hiltzik notched victories against ranked opponents, while Blake Bazarnik came through to clinch the match with a win over John Mee. In only his sixth singles match of the spring, Bazarnik came back after dropping a tightly contested first set to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-3. Illinois’ victory snapped a home winning streak of almost two years for Texas. The Illini’s freshmen played an even bigger role Sunday. Texas A&M’s strong doubles play has been integral to its success this year, and the Aggies won the doubles point with victories on courts one and two. But the Illini battled back in singles play. Toshiki Matsuya beat Jordi Arconada 6-3, 6-4 to even things up for the Illini. Jared Hiltzik picked up a win on court one over No. 65 Jeremy Efferding 6-3, 6-3, but Bazarnik lost in straight
sets to A&M’s No. 89 AJ Catanzariti to leave the score tied 2-2. The match came down to Aron Hiltzik and Vukic playing three sets with a chance to secure victory for the Illini. Aron defeated No. 48 Harrison Adams of the Aggies 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 and gave Vukic a chance to clinch the match — familiar territory for the freshman. He clinched the Illini’s first match of the spring at Baylor in his first collegiate dual match. Vukic won a tight first set with A&M’s Arthur Rinderknech and then rallied in the third to win 7-5, 3-6, 6-3. There was a lot of support from Illini alumni in Texas and Dancer expects it to continue as the Illini finish their trip on Monday — Illinois will face the No. 17 TCU Horned Frogs. “We have a great group of family friends and alumni coming out to matches,” Dancer said. “It’s been awesome. We’ll have more in Fort Worth tomorrow.”

Hiltzik and Kopinski responded by picking up the first Illini win of the day over No. 35 Lloyd Glasspool and Soren Hess-Olesen 7-5.
