Students recall their experiences of sexual assault at the Ikenberry SDRP on Tuesday.
Standing up to a packed room, students shed light on sexual assaults by reading aloud anonymously submitted stories. The event, It Happens Here UIUC, was held by several campus organi-
zations on Thursday for April’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month. “Let’s talk about what we don’t want to talk about,” was the slogan of the event, which encouraged survivors of sexual assault to

Cancer drug successful in trials BY JANE LEE STAFF WRITER
A group of M.D. and Ph.D. students and professors at the University recently found successful results in treating breast cancer cells in mice with the new drug BHPI. The BHPI drug is currently in the preclinical trial, said David Shapiro, senior author of the research project and biochemistry professor. The team hopes to move the research forward into the clinical stage as rapidly as possible where they will be able to test it on humans and introduce it to the medical field. Neal Andruska, lead author of the research and M.D. and Ph.D. student, said the team wanted to try to identify possible drugs that would be effective on cancers and tumors already resistant to traditional therapies. He said this research began approximately six years ago. “ Estrogens play an important role in cancer and they promote the pro-
liferation of breast cancer cells and for that reason a lot of cancer drugs have been developed to target estrogen’s actions in cancer cells, called anti-estrogen drugs,” Andruska said. The team took a different approach to identifying a drug candidate, Andruska said.When drugs are being developed, most people think of a certain protein that would target the cell and kill it. However, the research did the reverse; the team identified something that worked well in the cells fi rst, and then determined how that overpowered drug-resistant cells. “Most people who do cancer studies, they don’t actually grow the tumors fi rst,” Andruska said. “We actually grew out breast cancer tumors in mice and then we began feeding it with our compound, which we call the BHPI.” Lily Mahapatra, team member and M.D./ Ph.D. student, said human cancer cells were put in mice to mimic what doctors would observe in a patient.

Houser interviews at Ohio State DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
The director of the Marching Illini was at The Ohio State University Monday and Tuesday to take part in the interview process for the school’s marching band director position. Barry Houser, assistant director of bands, has worked at the University since 2011. In addition to working with the marching band, he is also a clinical assistant professor in the School of Music. Ohio State Senior Director of Media and Public Relations Gary Lewis said Houser is one of a few finalists being interviewed for
the position. Lewis did not confirm how many finalists there were but said a decision would be made soon. Houser has directed bands that performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Washington D.C. National Memorial Day Parade. In March 2014, he also directed the Marching Illini during their performance in the Limerick and Dublin St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin making it the first college band to ever perform in the parade. The Ohio State University marching band was ranked first nationally by the NCAA website in
January. Will Ernst, freshman in FAA, said Houser was an influence in his decision to attend the University and join the Marching Illini. “The whole band really looks up to him and it’d be a disappointment but I think everyone would be happy for him if that’s what he wanted to do,” Ernst said. He said the band was notifi ed about a meeting on Wednesday concerning its future. Although the topic of the meeting was not specifi ed, Ernst said he believes it will concern Houser and his career path.
ISU staffers killed in plane crash BY PETER BAILEY-WELLS SPORTS EDITOR
Illinois State University men’s basketball associate head coach Torrey Ward was one of seven people killed in an airplane crash Monday night outside of Bloomington, Illinois. The wreckage was found shortly after 3 a.m. in a field one mile northeast of the airport. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause. Ward, 36, had been on the Redbirds’ staff since the 2012-2013 season. He played in college at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and previously held assistant positions at the University
of Mississippi and Jacksonville State. Aaron Leetch, deputy director of athletics for external relations, was also killed in the crash according to an email sent by ISU President Larry Dietz to students, faculty and staff. Leetch, 37, had held his position with the athletic department since 2013. From 2005-2011, Leetch held other roles within the university athletic department, rising as high as senior associate athletic director. Between his two stints at ISU, he served as the athletic director at Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington.
The flight was returning from Monday night’s NCAA men’s basketball championship game in Indianapolis. The plane crashed just short of Central Illinois Regional Airport in Bloomington. “Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of those involved,” said Larry Lyons, ISU director of athletics, in a statement. “There is no play in the playbook for times like these.” Authorities confirmed the deaths of the pilot and all six passengers, but are withholding names until families of the victims were notified.

Death row overflowing in Calif.
NEWS BRIEFS TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Democrats file court brief backing Obama immigration plan
BY PAIGE ST. JOHN TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
With no executions in nearly a decade and newly condemned men arriving every month, the nation’s largest death row has run out of room. Warning that there is little time to lose, Gov. Jerry Brown is asking the California Legislature for $3.2 million to open nearly 100 more cells for condemned men at San Quentin State Prison. The proposed expansion would take advantage of cells made available as the state releases low-level drug offenders and thieves under a law voters approved last year. California’s death penalty has been the subject of a decade of litigation. One case led to a halt in executions and another resulted in a federal judge’s ruling that the state’s interminably slow capital-appeals system is unconstitutionally cruel. Through it all, the death row population has grown from 646 in 2006 to 751 today. “Until the litigation is resolved, this cost-effective proposal allows (the state Corrections Department) to safely house condemned inmates going forward,” corrections department spokesperson Terry Thornton said last week. But critics of Brown’s handling of the state’s stalled death penalty say his proposal doesn’t address deeper problems with the California system. “This

WASHINGTON — A group of 181 Democratic members of the House weighed in on the legal fight over immigration on Monday, telling an appeals court that the executive branch has the authority to make the policy changes that President Barack Obama announced in November.
In an amicus brief, the lawmakers said the enforcement of immigration laws and the deferral of certain deportations are squarely within the discretion of the president — a central part of the legal dispute now at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.

Gov. Jerry Brown’s historic ties to California have been on his mind as he prepares for his fourth term. is a failure of Gov. Brown to do the things within his power to move things forward,” said Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, a group that has sued California seeking to force the state to resume executions. There are 731 men and 20 women on California’s death row. The women are housed in a maximum security unit at the Central California Women’s Facility near Chowchilla, and
Brown’s proposal would not affect them. Condemned men live at San Quentin, housed apart from other inmates in three cellblocks that Brown’s budget plans note would have overflowed already if the state last summer had not, under court order, opened a 25-cell psychiatric unit for death row inmates. San Quentin’s death row can accommodate 715 inmates. Last week, prison officials said, 708 inmates were in those cells. Twenty-
three others were scattered across the state for court hearings or held in longterm medical facilities or at prisons in other states. “Based on the critical nature of the bed shortage, it is not feasible to delay the approval and implementation of this proposal,” the governor’s budget document said. The proposed expansion of death row is possible because California’s prison population outside of death row has fallen sharply.
DURHAM, N.C. — A judge will allow prosecutors to pursue the death penalty against Craig Stephen Hicks, the man charged in the Chapel Hill, North Carolina, shootings that sparked global debate about whether the motive was escalation of a parking dispute or a hate crime perpetrated in cold blood.
Hicks, 46, is accused of murdering Deah Barakat, 23; his wife Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21; and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19. The killings occurred late in the afternoon of Feb. 10 in the Finley Forest condominium complex on the eastern edge of Chapel Hill.
Twain’s paper back in business BY JOHN M. GLIONNA TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
VIRGINIA CITY, Nev. — One wonders what Mark Twain himself would make of the news: The Gold Rush-era newspaper for which he once penned stories and witticisms on frontier life as a journalist is once again in print after a decades long hiatus. Following numerous attempts at solvency, the Territorial Enterprise, once the region’s premier recorder of gossip, scandal, satire and irreverent tall tales is back, this time as a traditional monthly magazine and online edition, territorialenterprise.com. With a daily circulation of 15,000 at its peak in the 1860s, the Enterprise was Nevada’s first newspaper and the largest west of the Mississippi, as it chronicled the frenzy and financial fallout of the Comstock Lode of silver ore discovered on the eastern slope of Mount Davidson. After the mining boom died, the paper continued to tell the story of a rough town where men settled scores with six-shooters. The original Enterprise ceased publi-

cation in 1893, along with an economy of words in its epitaph: “For sufficient reasons we stop.” Since then, the paper has been revived numerous times, mostly notably by railroad historian Lucius Beebe, who sold it in 1961. Behind the present incarnation is Scott Faughn, also publisher of the Missouri Times, which focuses on politics and policy. In its heyday, the Enterprise not only covered the news, it made news. As editors recently wrote, “Reporters William ‘Dan De Quille’ Wright, James ‘Lying James’ Townsend and Samuel ‘Mark Twain’ Clemens perfected the art of the Western tall tale with articles that became legendary for their wit.” Legend has it that Twain’s first-ever piece for the newspaper began: “A thunderstorm made Beranger a poet, a mother’s kiss made Benjamin West a painter and a salary of $15 a week makes us a journalist.” Clemens had traveled west from Missouri with his brother who became secretary of the Nevada Territory before blacked out from the night before,” the woman said. Other survivors told similar stories that left them to sort out feelings of guilt, blame and anger, alone. Another speaker told the story of a 14-year-old boy who was sexually exploited by a trusted coach and teacher. He, among other survivors, struggled with telling his story to those he loved and the authorities. Each story questioned why consent is not always seen as a universal right.

The series of consultation comes two weeks after a Saudi Arabia-led coalition launched a bombing campaign over Yemen aimed at halting Houthi advances.
Khamenei had full knowledge of Iran nuclear deal, official says DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had full knowledge of the provisions his country agreed to in its nuclear accord with world powers, a negotiator said, backing President Hassan Rouhani against domestic critics of the deal. “We will stand by this agreement and will defend it any level,” said Hamid Baeedinejad, the Iranian foreign ministry’s director of political international affairs, according
to the official Islamic Republic News Agency. “The Supreme Leader is fully aware of the decisions and so is Dr. Rouhani.” Khamenei is Iran’s ultimate authority and his approval is needed for the agreement to go through. While he hasn’t commented publicly on the framework agreement, the remarks by Baeedinejad, who was part of the negotiating team in Switzerland, indicate that Khamenei has endorsed the accord.

Budget initiatives should benefit students

assive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs, are free online courses which allow an unlimited amount of people to take a class, according to the Educause website. Currently, the University offers many of these courses for anyone to enroll in. Recently, the Senate Executive Committee passed a resolution for the Academic Senate to consider at its March 30 meeting. The resolution encourages compensating professors for developing MOOCS. MOOCs are a good tool for people who want to learn more about various subjects, and giving people the chance to learn more is always a benefit to the world. But as of now, students do not receive college credit from taking a MOOC course. Currently, MOOCs do not bring in much revenue for the University as they are free online courses allocated to an unlimited amount of people. There is some money that can come from a MOOC (a course participant can choose to purchase a $49 certificate, which verifies the user completed the course), but the University will only get half of the amount some participants may opt to pay. With Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed budget cuts in mind and other programs at the University that are scrounging for funds, thinking and planning the next step for the University budget should be a top priority of the administration. We should be focusing on more projects that will ensure more revenue to the school, but will also benefit a majority of students. In an earlier statement from a Daily Illini article, Robin Kaler, University spokeswoman, said the MOOC program could provide good publicity for the University. It is also believed that these classes could bring in more applications to the University from students who enjoyed the class. While offering these free online classes would be a good service provided by the University, it seems unlikely the deciding reason someone would attend the University would be enrollment in one of these courses. It is counterintuitive that this program would increase enrollment, as instead of paying thousands of dollars to take a course, people could take it for free at home. Keeping a successful MOOC program requires a lot of time, people and money. So, although offering easier and cheaper access to education is beneficial, the University should first be considering how to deal with the proposed budget cuts, which will drastically affect students, professors and faculty of the University.

FOUR GRANDCHILDREN (AND COUNTING)
A WHOPPER OF A WEDDING
TLC’S “19 Kids and Counting� family, the Duggars, welcomed their fourth grandchild into their family Monday night — bringing the total count of people who will be in the opening credits to a whopping 27. The baby, named Israel David, is the first for Derrick Dillard and his wife, Jill — who is one of the 19 kids (and counting, still, apparently). Congrats to the happy parents on the first of what will probably be many kids!
Everyone has a dream wedding, with ideal flowers, location, dress, color palette and obviously with Burger King footing the bill. Well, maybe not that last one, but for Joel Burger and Ashley King, that’s happening anyway. Upon learning of the impending Burger-King union, the fast food chain offered to foot the bill and provide gifts for the wedding. No word on whether or not they will also be catering with Chicken Fries, or if the bride and groom will be wearing Burger King crowns.

THE LAST ENTRY IN “THE VAMPIRE DIARIES?�
YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BEING SOCIAL, JON SNOW
To put the nail in the coffin — or the wooden dagger through the heart — of “The Vampire Diaries,� Nina Dobrev has announced that she will be exiting the show after the current season. Considering that Dobrev is really the only star (and that anyone the writers kill comes back anyway), it’ll be interesting to see how the writers finally deal with an authentic character exit. Or maybe the show will finally end. We can only hope.
Jon Snow is a lot of things: undeniably attractive, perfect, strong, perfect and also perfect. One thing he isn’t, though, is much of a talker — or one who knows much about reading a room. If you doubted this before, Seth Meyers proved it last night on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.� There are two kinds of people in the world: “Game of Thrones� fans and peasants. But no matter what group you fall into, seeing Ned Stark’s bastard son try to make it through a dinner party is universally enjoyable.
University thrives on research ALEX SWANSON Opinions columnist
U
ndergraduate students typically view the University as an institution in which we take classes and eventually earn a degree. But in actuality, that’s only a component of what this University does. Thinking of the University in that way overlooks the groundbreaking research efforts that are made in every department on campus year-round. This is not to say that the University does not approach the education of its students with the upmost seriousness. We receive a phenomenal education here; I am not attempting to dispute that. But I’ve heard more than a fair share of students complain about having professors or TAs who are more interested in research than teaching, when in reality these complaints can belittle the necessity of university research. To be absolutely clear, I am not drawing a correlation to imply that good researchers are bad teachers or that good teachers are bad researchers. A University like ours offers
a great deal more than just educating its students. It’s also about making enormous and important advancements in the faculty members’ respective fields. A few days ago, I walked around the Quad asking students for their opinions on the importance of faculty research. The general consensus was actually that faculty research helps our professors become better teachers. Nicole Curtis, sophomore in LAS, felt that “faculty research is important because it gives the faculty something to be passionate about.� Similarly, Nora Marino, sophomore in LAS, said that having well-researched professors enhances the education that students at this university get. “It’s important ... because it expands what they can teach their students and the education that everyone can receive,� Marino said. Some students considered the importance of faculty research a given. Crofton Coleman, junior in FAA, laughed when he answered the question. “It’s a research school, right? So they should be researching,� Coleman said. This is supposed to be one
of the best research institutions in the country, and the research accomplished is indicative of our status. For instance, educational psychology professor Dorothy Espelage recently coauthored a study evaluating a program that successfully decreased bullying by students with disabilities. That study could have huge implications for educational methods as well as decreasing bullying in schools across the country. In the medicinal realm, chemistry professor Paul Hergenrother and veterinary clinical medicine professor Timothy Fan are beginning human clinical trials with a drug that could one day cause cancerous cells in humans to selfdestruct while keeping the rest of the patient healthy. The important, potential results of research on cancer treatments speak for themselves. Another issue that’s close to the hearts of many college students, if more frivolous, is the fact that associate professor Yong-Su Jin in Food Science and Human Nutrition recently developed a way to produce hangover free wine. These are three of the many, many fascinating and critical research projects from the
University of Illinois. This aspect of the University isn’t always as accessible to undergraduate students, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There are a variety of paths open to students who are interested in participating with research on campus. Students can ask a professor if they need any assistance with their work, complete independent studies or theses with professors, and submit research to undergraduate journals on campus. If you’re looking for guidance on how to get your own undergraduate research underway, visit the Illinois Office for Undergraduate Research. In my experience, professors enjoy discussing their research and passions. Oftentimes, they also present it, and those presentations are usually open to the public. As strange as it may seem to its actual students, the University of Illinois is dedicated to more than just its student population, so stay in the know about new research developments going on here so you can be proud of the breakthroughs that our university is making.

Tidal music just a Spotify clone BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist
I
grew up listening to music. During my time in high school (when I was a clerk in a local record store), the idea of a streaming program like Spotify or Beats Music, where all music could be accessed at the drop of a hat, was something like a dream. Today, outside of exceptional albums, which I buy on vinyl, Spotify seems to dominate my music-listening habit. Costing only $5 a month for students and hosting thousands of artists and albums, it’s really hard to beat, despite the controversy regarding their payment of artists. Last week, however, artists like Rihanna, Jay-Z, Coldplay and BeyoncÊ announced a new streaming service by the name of Tidal, which promised to bring exclusive, new content and super-high quality streams to all of its subscribers. Here’s the kicker, though. For the highest quality package, a consumer must pay $20 a month for the service, or $10 for the standard quality package, with no free listening option. I love music — and I believe artists deserve to get paid, but at the risk of sounding like a bleeding heart, if there’s
one thing that can make me annoyed about music, it’s corporate manipulation. The music streaming market is already pretty packed with each major technology entity’s service coming right after the next. Apple’s Beats Music is currently in development, along with Spotify, Google Play, Rdio and Last.fm. Of course, competition is welcome – and in theory this should be beneficial to the consumer. I don’t purport to be an expert in capitalism, but it seems like if Tidal lacked celebrity endorsement, it would merely be labeled just an overpriced version of what already exists, miring it in failure. Twenty bucks isn’t ridiculous – it’s roughly the same price I’d pay for a new album on the day of release. But for streaming, when a student can get a Spotify subscription for $5, it just doesn’t make sense to stray away. Perhaps the standard high quality of music advertised by Tidal is more impressive than any other streaming service on the market, but it’s only accessible to those paying for the most expensive plan, and even then, as cynical as it sounds, I hesitate to believe that a difference in quality would be recognizable by the average consumer. Tidal also boasts “high definition music videos and expertly curated editorial,� and by the looks of their ad campaign, it
would lead you to believe that these things don’t exist already. These added features on Tidal, truthfully, seem more hollow than anything else. All one needs to do is click over to YouTube to see music videos in 1080p HD quality for free. If anyone needs directions to a plethora of blogs and magazines with expertly crafted editorial content, I’d be happy to supply them with examples fulfilling that need and whose articles are available for free online. Where Tidal could make waves (Please forgive me. I couldn’t resist,) is in a situation where its super high-quality music, videos and editorials become exclusive to the app. If the artists who apparently have a stake in Tidal start to release music exclusively for the site, then the music would not be for all (as the app’s hashtag trend suggests) but rather only those who are willing to shell out enough cash every month to reap the benefits. There is also fear surrounding the way Tidal will treat lesspopular artists. Justin Peters, a former campus representative for Spotify and Illini Media employee, doesn’t think Tidal is as appreciative of those smaller artists. “I think Tidal really only caters to the big names in the industry,� said Peters, senior in FAA. “I’ve found so many lesser-known artists through Spo-
tify, and I don’t think they’re worried as much about getting fair pay as they are getting attention.� For all the flashy news conferences, celebrities changing their profile pictures to blue squares on social media and massive names attached to the movement, Tidal initially seemed like a really cool idea. Their PR person deserves a raise. But in actuality, it’s a product that appears too inflated to stay competitive with what already exists, and arguably does so at the cost of the consumer. I want artists to be able to stand behind music streaming services, but I want them to be able to do it without using gimmicks or paid endorsements. At the end of the day, as a consumer, Tidal seems less and less like a new and innovative take on streaming, and more and more like a way for celebrities to profit off anti-Spotify sentiment with a hint of questionable PR campaigning. It’s apparently the same exact product, repackaged with “artist approval� and sold at a 400 percent mark-up. I’m sorry, Jay Z. I really liked “Reasonable Doubt� and sometimes I even root for the Brooklyn Nets (mostly because of Deron Williams), but I really don’t think you hit the nail on the head this time.

Boneyard Arts Festival kicks off on campus BY ELISEO ELIZARRARAZ STAFF WRITER
Champaign’s 40 North will kick off its annual Boneyard Arts Festival on Thursday, with the University campus as its first stop before visiting the rest of Champaign county. The festival, which is presented annually by 40 North Champaign County Arts Council, is in its 13th year and has been growing rapidly since its inaugural year in 2002, when it was a 13-site art reception. The festival, which spans four days and 90 different venues, will stop at campus locations such as the YMCA, The Krannert Art Museum and Courtyard Cafe. The festival features the works of hundreds of local and regional artists, including University students. The work spans a diverse range of media, including sculpting, weaving, photography, dancing, glassblowing and poetry. Kelly White, executive director of 40 North, is one of two staff members organizing the festival alongside several volunteer committees who have been preparing for the festival since September. White said she sees the festival as a unique platform for artists to showcase their work in a non-conventional way. “The Boneyard is quite different from your average arts festival, where streets are closed down, and there are rows of booths with artists selling their work,� White said. “This festival
takes place in venues, both traditional and non-traditional, across the county for four days. Therefore, you not only get to discover new local artists but also new local businesses, organizations and open studios. And since the art is not restricted to booths, the diversity is remarkable.â€? With a wide variety of work being showcased throughout the festival, White said she feels like there is something for everyone. “In one venue you might see whimsical paintings on display in a cafĂŠ while next door you could see an empty store front completely transformed with site specific installation art,â€? she said. “In a venue down the street there might be a lineup of bluegrass and rock music while across town a fiction writers group are reading their work. You can watch wheel-throwing or traditional glass-blowing demos, listen to a jazz quartet or experience an African drumming performance ... No matter what your interests, you’re likely to find it during the Boneyard.â€? Since its inception all those years back, the festival’s primary goals have remained clear, she said. “Its goal is to bring together local artists, businesses and organizations for a special event showcasing the art of this community,â€? she said. “The festival stimulates cultural, economic, social and educational growth by providing an opportunity for people of every age,
background and interest to participate.� This year, artists will be sharing their work in venues throughout Champaign, Urbana, Rantoul, Homer, Mahomet, St. Joseph and Sidney. One of these artists is Champaign glassblower Jason Mack, who will be showcasing his work for the second time at this year’s festival. “Boneyard is a great opportunity to connect with local businesses, artists and potential patrons,� Mack said. “Just in the preparation stages, I have been able to get to know community members that are able and interested in helping to realize some of my larger public art projects.� Mack, who has created furnace-worked sculptures and lamp-worked jewelry, will display his art along with 50 other artists at the Fluid Events Center in Champaign. Visitors can partake in some participatory activities like painting and graffiti work. Mack said he feels like the festival provides both experienced and amateur artists an ideal launchpad to display their work within the community. “It can be hard to find a place to show work that is in between craft-oriented street festivals and traditional gallery shows,� he said. “So this is a welcome opportunity that inspires local artists to really hustle and step up their game.�

Understanding Autism Families with autism learn to adapt and grow BY SANDRA ENGELLAND TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
FORT WORTH, Tex. — There’s not a lot of fanfare or celebratory bannerwaving attached to April’s designation as National Autism Awareness Month. The goal, instead, is to build compassion for individuals and families struggling with the puzzling group of disorders characterized by impaired social interaction and communication skills. “For most families, it’s a very isolating thing,� says Melinda Needs, whose 16-year-old son, Jacob, was diagnosed as a toddler and is in the autism program at a local high school. Needs says her advice to the community at large is not to be so quick to judge parents of children who are acting out in public or behaving in unusual ways. “As soon as he became ambulatory, he would try to run away from us,� she recalls. “When we were out anywhere, we couldn’t let go of his hand.� Family finances also suffered, as many treatments are not covered by health insurance plans. “It took a toll,� she says. “We were using his college money to learn how to live life.� In 2000 — the year Jacob was diagnosed — one in 150 children in the United States received a diagnosis of autism or an autism spectrum disorder. A decade later, the prevalence had climbed to one in 68, a 120 percent increase. Theories abound, but no one knows why the incidence continues to rise at such a startling rate. Families dealing with the daily communication challenges, repetitive behaviors and angry outbursts that often accompany a child’s diagnosis with an autism spectrum disorder continue the quest for answers
and assistance year-round. Many rely on educators and doctors for guidance in navigating their family member’s unique difficulties, learning differences and disabilities; others turn to support groups like Families for Effective Autism Treatments (FEAT) and try a combination of private therapies like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech and occupational therapy or therapeutic horsemanship programs. “When you compare children with autism, they’re more dissimilar than similar,� says Brook Boleyn, founder of White Bridle Therapy. “There’s an entire spectrum. The reason the autism community uses the puzzle piece as a symbol is that every single child is unique.� Today, Jacob is a big fan of Veggie Tales, video games, strategy games and Dr. Seuss. His latest skill is telling jokes: He enjoys making others laugh, although he doesn’t understand the humor himself. “He can read and do math, like geometry, but he can’t tell you when his stomach hurts,� Needs says. 24-year-old Mandy Morgan was diagnosed at 3 with an early childhood developmental disorder. She was 8 before she received the label of Asperger’s syndrome. Although she says she always struggled with speech skills and didn’t speak much at all until she was 9, she also had a very strong desire to communicate with others. She was in speech therapy at school for many years and social skills therapy at home. Learning a polite flow of give-and-take in conversations was a big challenge, she says, and she recalls being bullied a lot for being “different.� As she got older, she developed a severe anxiety disorder that resulted in trichotillomania (pulling out hair). According to the Autism Society of America, about two-thirds of individuals with autism improve when
on a gluten- and casein-free diet, and Morgan says this proved true in her own life – and eventually, set a course for her studies and career plan. She was born with a severe allergy to dairy, cut out gluten when she was in high school, eliminating the ill-effects of frequent abdominal pain, and found that taking corn out of her diet helped reduce anxiety, insomnia and other health issues. Experts say one of the most challenging issues for children and adults on the autism spectrum and their families, is dealing with emotional meltdowns. Children with autistic spectrum disorders often experience “sensory overload� and react in dramatic fashion, banging their heads or crawling under tables when stimuli overwhelm them. Therapy is critical for these kids, Needs says. The Missing Peace is an ABA program and specializes in treating children ages 2 to 12 and working with families and teachers to improve life skills. The center includes areas for developing large and small motor skills, creativity and imitative play. “So many kids with autism are not given enough credit for what they know because they can’t express it,� coowner Megan Haupert says. Needs felt the same. “Through Jacob, we’ve gotten to meet some of the most wonderful people,� she says. “Kids like Jacob are such a gift for the world. I hope people can recognize that. They have a gift.� Meanwhile, Morgan offers encouragement to others walking a path similar to her own. “They may think, ‘When I have these troubles, can I still do what I want to do?’ I want them to know: Yes, you can. It’s thinking through what steps you can take,� she says. “You have disabilities but you still have options in your life. “For parents, I want them to know not to give up.�

THE GOLDBERG EFFECT
Professor inspires students to rethink education
W BY JASMINE DINH STAFF WRITER
h a t started off as a transformat i o n toward engineering education turned into a movement. Former engineering professor and co-founder of iFoundry at the University, Dr. David E. Gold-
berg, has continued to inspire more than engineering students at the University. In October, Goldberg published a book titled, “A Whole New Engineer.� The book captures Goldberg’s experience in engineering at the University and co-author Mark Somerville’s experiences at Olin College and share their stories ollege of Engineering in Needham, Massachusetts. To put the two colleges into perspective, Olin College is a private school with an undergraduate enrollment of 335, according to U.S. News. Whereas the University has an undergraduate enrollment of in its College of Engineering of 6,950. When examining the enrollment numbers, Goldberg said it’s easy to see that the schools are on completely different scales. “But what we were fi nding — (when) working together — were the similarities and how education needed to change,� Goldberg said.
But Goldberg explained that this book was just one step in his movement: unleashing young people’s minds. He said he was originally inspired to start the movement when he helped cofound the Illinois Foundry for Innovation in Engineering Education, or iFoundry, in 2007, with Andreas Cangellaris, the Dean of the College of Engineering. According to Goldberg and Cangellaris, iFoundry is a pilot program working toward changing the education and student experiences of the

he Illinois softball team opened the 2015 season at the Red and Black Showcase tournament in Athens, Georgia, and freshman Annie Fleming did not play. “Before the season, our coaches asked us to write out what we thought our role would be for the year,� Fleming said. “When I went in to talk to them, I just said, ‘to be ready when called upon.’� Since the beginning of conference play and especially in last weekend’s road series at Iowa, Fleming has exceeded the expectations she set for herself at the beginning of the year. “Annie works extremely hard and is very coachable. That’s why she got the opportunity (to play) a couple weeks ago,� head coach Terri Sullivan said. “Practice is what gets you in the lineup and, when you do get a chance, prepares you to succeed.� Going into Sunday, the Illini were looking to win their second-straight con-
ference series. However, chances at a victory looked slim after Illinois found itself in a 5-0 hole entering the third inning of its final game. In the face of defeat, the Illini turned to Fleming, who delivered in impressive fashion. Fleming scored one of Illinois’ six runs in the top of the third. In the fifth inning, with Illinois clinging to a 7-6 lead, the freshman stepped up to the plate. She blasted a two-run home run off Iowa’s Shayla Starkenburg to put the Illini up 9-6. In her next at-bat, Fleming hit another two-run home run, making her only the 14th player in Illinois history to have a multi-home run game. Fleming finished the game 2-for-4, with four RBIs and two runs scored. “I have a newfound confidence,� Fleming said. “In this last week of practice, I’ve found my comfort zone in the box and started seeing the ball really well.� Fleming finished the three-game series with five hits, three home runs, seven RBIs and four runs scored. This type of production is no fluke for Fleming. Despite only having eight starts under her belt, Fleming has been a major factor to the team’s recent success and has been a catalyst for the Illini’s high-octane offense. In the 12 total games Fleming has appeared in,

she has a .455 batting average and a 1.000 slugging percentage. Her four home runs and 10 RBIs are tied for fifth and sixth on the team, respectively. Fleming has also played solid defense third base for the Illini, recording a .960 fielding percentage with just one error at the hot corner. “She’s a versatile player. She’s played both corners and even pitched some in her career,� Sullivan said. “Her high school coach spoke very highly of her ability to hit for power and average. She’s always willing to work on her weaknesses, and for a young player, that’s key.� Fleming is used to waiting for her time to shine. She was unable to play her first two years of high school softball at Peoria Notre Dame due to injury. After coming back her junior year, Fleming burst on to the scene, hitting .628 with a .704 on-base percentage and a .885 slugging percentage, earning her first-
team All-State honors in both 2013 and 2014. However, her small sample size in high school forced her to walk on to Terri Sullivan’s team. “She’s a tough-minded player,� Sullivan said. “She’s already had to go through knee surgeries and has just been really resilient.� With the freshman in the lineup, the future of Illinois softball looks bright. Ever since high school, she has waited for her opportunities and has made the most out of all of them. The most gratifying of those opportunities, according to Fleming, is simply the chance to play for and contribute to her home-state team. “It’s just been so exciting to be here,� Fleming said. “Illinois is such a great school, and being from this state and now playing in the Big Ten, it’s been awesome to be able to contribute the way I have.�

Grey Schultz slowly marches out of the Illinois baseball team’s clubhouse just off the third-base line of Illinois Field. The 5-foot-10 Champaign native sprayed baseballs toward the end of the cage. He’s only played in four games of Illinois’ 32 this season, but when his name is called, he’ll be ready. In between the fence and the doors to the building lie the bullpen and two batting cages. For a little time before practice, the redshirt freshmen bullpen catcher was hitting a ball off a tee, wearing a navy Nike t-shirt that read “Illinois baseball� in orange letters. This is not the lone uniform he wears. His other uniform doesn’t read “Illinois� or even “Fighting Illini,� and it holds greater importance than a baseball uniform. His other uniform is for the United States Navy. Schultz is a sophomore at the University who divides his time between the Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) and Division I baseball. Although balancing the two isn’t easy and requires a large amount of discipline, he knows he has the support of both groups, each seeking to help prepare him for his future. “It’s been pretty difficult,� Schultz said of balancing baseball and ROTC. “ROTC has been real lenient, they’ve allowed me to miss certain things to come and
play baseball because they understand it’s beneficial for my hopeful development as an officer in the military.� Schultz’s journey to the Navy started during high school thanks to his mentor, Brad Sheafe. The Air Force pararescue jumper was a leader at Schultz’s church and took Schultz under his wing. During this time, Schultz grew spiritually in his Christian faith and realized the importance of serving others. Under the direction of Sheafe, Schultz realized that there would be no better way of helping his community than to serve it. “The military sounded good,� Schultz recalled. “What better than to serve for the greatest country in the planet?� With good academic standing, he was lucky enough to earn a scholarship to attend the University. But there was another facet of his life: baseball. During his time at Champaign’s Centennial High, he was named a Big 12 all-conference honorable mention, caught four no-hitters, had a career .360 batting average and led the team to a regional title in 2013. Despite his success, America’s pastime wasn’t the lone sport he excelled in. He was a two-sport athlete, having earned seven total varsity letters, four for golf and three for baseball. At golf he was an all-area, a two-time all-conference selection and a state qualifier. He managed to balance both sports, a trait that

Upon graduation, Schultz knew that baseball might not his calling — there weren’t any offers waiting for him. But upon his enrollment at Illinois, he decided to try out for the team in the fall of his freshman year, made a good impression and was asked to join the team. With his busy schedule, the coaching staff and players wanted to make sure that Schultz could manage the heavy demands that each organization requires. The team wanted him to be a part of the Fighting Illini family. “It’s been unreal,� Schultz said about the support from the team. “Coach on the first day said, ‘Whatever we need to do to make this work, you let me know, we’ll make it happen.’ “The only reason I’m able to do both of them is because there’s leeway on both sides,� he added. “On the baseball team, everyone’s been so flexible with everything, it’s been great.� Schultz began to forge
his identity in both groups. For the baseball team, he’s been the bullpen catcher. He didn’t play last season and barely appeared this year. But the lack of appearances doesn’t diminish the impact he’s had. He’s helped the pitchers grow as they try to develop new approaches to their craft. He holds a similar role within the ROTC program, which offers leadership development essential for becoming a Naval Officer. There are early-morning workouts three days a week, drills in the afternoon, marching, briefings with fellow members and other events. Schultz talks to the squad all the time to keep up communication. The constant whirlwind of things to do can lead to hectic days. Schultz uses Google calendar to remind him where he needs to go and what he needs to do. The method isn’t perfect. He does have to miss events for ROTC and miss workouts

The Illinois softball team looks to keep its hot streak alive when Indiana State comes to Eichelberger Field Wednesday for a one-game series. Illinois (14-21) has won six of its last seven games. The game against Indiana State (13 -20) sits between two conference series for Illinois. With a three-game series against Maryland looming this weekend, junior outfielder Kylie Johnson said it’s important that her team focus on Indiana State. “We really try to keep our mind on one game a time,� Johnson said. “We can’t look too far ahead. That is how you end up dropping games.� According to Johnson, the Illini can’t afford to drop these games. They have posted a 6-5 record since the conference season began and want to continue their recent momentum. The Sycamores come to Champaign having won four of its last eight games and has not been as successful in conference play as the Illini — the team hasn’t won a series in Missouri Valley Conference play. They have won eight of their 13 games by three runs or fewer and have only scored seven or more runs on nine occasions.
Their opponent’s lack of offense favors the Illini whose offense has been at the top of its game lately. The underclassmen on the team have really begun to contribute since the beginning of conference season. Sophomore Nicole Evans has been the team’s best power hitter this season, and freshmen outfielder Carly Thomas has recently caught fire, batting .520 with five home runs in the Illini’s last seven games. The contributions of the underclassmen have been a huge boost to the team and the upperclassmen. Captains Allie Bauch and Johnson have been the heart and soul of the Illini offense. Bauch is hitting .395 with 19 RBIs, despite being a leadoff hitter. Her six home runs are the third-most on the team. Johnson is hitting .364 on the season with a .402 on-base percentage. “It is really great to see the underclassmen play so well,� Bauch said. “It is really well deserved. They have been working so hard, and I know that this is just opening more opportunities for them.� The Illini’s offense will be going up against a pitching staff led by Sycamore junior Taylor Lockwood, who has eight wins and a 3.52 ERA with 72 strikeouts over 101 1/3 innings.

Eastern Illinois starting pitcher Christian Slazinik was nursing a 12.23 ERA before Tuesday’s game against Illinois. It took just one inning against the Illini offense for his ERA to jump to 14.34. No. 25 Illinois (25-6-1) took advantage of a five-run first inning to secure a 14-10 victory over Eastern Illinois (1-24) in Charleston, Illinois, on Tuesday afternoon. A 15-minute rain delay couldn’t slow down the Illini bats to start this one. Illinois’ first three batters reached base before junior catcher and reigning Big Ten Player of the Week, Jason Goldstein belted a grand slam to left field with no outs. Two batters later, first baseman David Kerian followed suit with his conference-leading eighth longball of the season. Behind two walks, two doubles and two home runs, the Illini jumped out to a 5-0 lead before the fans in Charleston could even get settled in. “Any time the first guys on the team get on base, it gives a lot of people confidence,” Goldstein said. “When you’re confident that you could get hits, you’d be surprised how many times a hit comes.” Illinois has made a habit of jumping out to quick starts and have now outscored opponents 93-31 in the first four innings of this season’s games.

All nine Illini batters either scored or drove in a run against the Panthers. “From top to bottom of the order, we had threats,” head coach Dan Hartleb said. “There’s always something positive that each hitter’s going to give us to help score runs.” After shutting the door on the Panther’s thirdinning rally, relief pitcher J.D. Nielsen pitched threestraight scoreless innings. The 6-foot-6 junior allowed just two hits and a walk while picking up three strikeouts on his way to earning his first win of the
season. Hartleb praised the lefty’s day on the mound, but Nielsen said it was just another day’s work. “I was just trying to go out and do my job and keep the ball down in the zone and throw strikes with all my pitches,” Nielsen said. “It worked out for me today.” Following Nielsen’s exit, the Illini bullpen allowed four runs over the final three innings. But it was too little, too late, for the Panthers, and the Illini escaped Charleston with a 14-10 victory. Illinois has now won six straight and is 5-0 in midweek matchups.

Alabama replaces Grant with Johnson TUSCALOOSA, ALA. — Just as the NCAA National Championship was tipping off Monday night in Indianapolis, Alabama kicked off its hopeful return to basketball prominence with a splash announcement. More than 24 hours after news leaked nationally, Alabama made it official: Avery Johnson will be the Crimson Tide’s next men’s basketball coach. The hiring comes three weeks and a day since former coach Anthony Grant was fired following six seasons at the helm, during which time the Tide made the NCAA Tournament just once in 2012. “I am very excited about having Avery join the Crimson Tide family,” Alabama athletic director Bill Battle said in a statement. “Not only do I believe he will be an excellent head coach, but I am also convinced he will be a tremendous example to our studentathletes in all areas on and off the court.” Contract details were not made available by Alabama, but multiple reports indicate it’s a six-year deal worth roughly $3 million annually. Johnson is expected to be introduced at a press conference Wednesday. “Coach Johnson has an impressive record from the professional ranks, as both a player and a head coach,” Battle said. “His personal history is a testament to what character, enthusiasm, perseverance, talent and intelli-
gence can do. He has shown fortitude and skill in every opportunity.” Battle originally offered the job to Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall, who turned down a reported contract upwards of $4.2 million annually over six years, according to the Wichita Eagle, to sign an extension with the Shockers last Wednesday. Johnson, 50, has never coached in the college ranks, but has a 440-254 record through parts of seven seasons as an NBA head coach with both the Dallas Mavericks and the New Jersey/ Brooklyn Nets. News of Johnson’s hire caught the attention of second-year Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl, who called Johnson a “great hire” in a text message to The Decatur Daily earlier Monday. “Avery’s a good man and a great coach,” Pearl told WJOX-FM on Monday morning. “He’ll be a great addition to the league and the state of basketball in Alabama.” Pearl praised the SEC’s recent string of head coaching hires in basketball, with Johnson joining former UCLA coach Ben Howland at Mississippi State and exTexas coach Rick Barnes at Tennessee. “All three hires (bring) instant credibility, instant name recognition, instant reaction across the country as your league just got better,” Pearl said. A 16-year NBA veteran as a player, Johnson brings a championship pedigree, having won an NBA title as a point guard with the San Antonio Spurs in 1999.

New Jersey head coach Avery Johnson yells from the sidelines during the Nets game against the Orlando Magic at Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, December 29, 2011. Johnson spent two seasons and 28 games with the Nets. As a head coach, Johnson took the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals in his first full season in 2005-06, for which he was named the NBA’s Coach of the Year. But Johnson struggled to repeat that success, losing in the first round of the playoffs in 2007 and 2008 with the Mavericks and missing the playoffs completely his first two years as head coach of
the New Jersey Nets (201012). Johnson was fired 28 games into the 2012-13 season with the Brooklyn Nets and has been an ESPN analyst since 2013.

Blackhawks look for luck as playoff season nears BY CHRIS KUC TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
STACEY WESCOTT TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson celebrates after scoring the Blackhawks’ third goal during the first period of play between the Chicago Blackhawks and the San Jose Sharks at the United Center on Nov. 9, 2014, in Chicago. The Blackhawks won 5-2.
Niklas Hjalmarsson glanced left and then right, spotted what he was looking for and politely excused himself so he could step away and knock on a piece of wood trim on the wall of the Blackhawks dressing room. “I don’t really want to say it,” Hjalmarsson said when he rejoined the conversation. “But I’m feeling really good.” The veteran defenseman is one of seven Hawks hoping for good luck as they near the end of the regular season having appeared in all 79 games. Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa, Brandon Saad, Brent Seabrook, Marcus Kruger and Antoine Vermette also have an opportunity to reach the 82-game mark. “You do your best to take care of the little bumps and bruises along the way and you hope nothing serious happens,” said Toews, who appeared in every game once in his previous seven seasons (2008-09). “It’s a long season. If you look at the last few seasons with what we’ve done in the playoffs, that adds up if you’re not taking care of your body.” The formula to remain healthy enough to stay in
the lineup varies for every player, but the main ingredients are offseason preparation, in-season training and luck. Lots of luck. Vermette, acquired by the Hawks in a Feb. 28 trade with the Coyotes, has the NHL’s second-longest current streak at 472 games. The Ducks’ Andrew Cogliano is the reigning ironman at 620. “You have to have a run of some luck, that’s for sure,” said Vermette, who is on the verge of a sixth season in a row without missing a game. “You try to prepare hard in the summer and hope that comes into play, but (staying healthy) is a hard thing to do.” With pucks traveling at 100 mph, players wearing razorsharp skates and carrying sticks with intentions of delivering crushing blows, and no out-of-bounds markers, injuries lurk every time a player jumps over the boards. “You can be doing all the right things by preparing, but all of a sudden there is a fluke and you hit the boards funny,” said Hossa, who last played a full slate in 2006-07. “Things happen so quickly.” As one of the most fearless players in the league, Hjalmarsson doesn’t hesitate to throw his body in front of
a shot and seemingly limps to the bench at least once a game. But he rarely misses a shift. Experience has helped the 27-year-old give himself the best chance to keep coming back for more. “I’m maybe a little smarter my last three years,” Hjalmarsson said. “I try to not put myself in bad situations, but you can always get unlucky and get a puck in a real bad spot and break something. “With the way you go back in your own end and retrieve pucks, you know how to position yourself not to get crushed every time like I did my first couple of years, when I took a couple of big hits every game.” Avoiding a suspension and gaining the confidence of the coach to be an everyday player are other key factors to an 82-game season. It’s possible coach Joel Quenneville will sit players in the final game to rest up for the postseason grind. That was the case with Hjalmarsson and Kruger just last season. “We’ll see how that plays out,” Quenneville said. “When you get a chance to do something like that, in the past we’ve taken advantage of it.”
Cliff Alexander plans to leave Kansas, enter the NBA Draft BY RUSTIN DODD TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
The decision was no surprise, according to Kansas coach Bill Self. Cliff Alexander, a 6-foot8 freshman forward, announced his intentions to enter the NBA Draft on Tuesday, effectively ending a tumultuous one-year stay that included an uneven performance and a NCAA investigation. “This should come as no surprise to anybody,” Self said. “Cliff had a very interesting and educational year.” Alexander, who averaged 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, joins fellow freshman Kelly Oubre as one-anddone players. Oubre previously announced his decision to enter the draft on April 1. Alexander, a Chicago native who entered the season as a projected lottery pick, is now projected as an early second-round pick by DraftExpress.com. His time at Kansas will likely be defined in the same way. There was early promise, but it was ultimately unsatisfying. “He worked his way into the starting lineup and has had to deal with an off-thecourt issue with the NCAA that made him ineligible for the last eight games of our season,” Self said in a statement. “We all feel bad for Cliff for what he and our team had to go through, because it was difficult for him to sit and watch his teammates play without him. “During his time here, Cliff certainly got better. I loved coaching Cliff, but we support his decision 100 percent to move on and take his ability to the next level.”
Alexander, of course, may have had no other choice. His freshman season was derailed after the NCAA alerted Kansas to a possible NCAA eligibility issue in late February. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, the NCAA’s investigation focused on whether Alexander’s family received impermissible benefits from a third party. Shortly after the investigation began, Yahoo! Sports unearthed public filings that tied Alexander’s mother, Latillia, to a Florida financial company that provides loans for athletes. Loans based on future earning potential are not allowed under NCAA rules. The NCAA investigation stalled as both sides struggled to cooperate. The matter, from an NCAA perspective, remains unresolved. On Tuesday, Alexander’s draft announcement featured his first public comments since the investigation began. “I talked this over with my mom and my dad and we decided the timing was right for me to enter the NBA Draft,” Alexander said. “Kansas has been a great experience. I enjoyed being on campus. “When I came in I didn’t really know much (about playing in college). I was undersized and not strong enough to bang with other guys. As the year went on, I got settled and comfortable with the system. I got stronger in the weight room and competed harder.” After Alexander’s departure, Kansas now has three open scholarships. The Jayhawks have a commitment from just one player in the

Kansas’ Cliff Alexander defends Kansas State’s Stephen Hurt during the second half at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas, on Jan. 31. Kansas won 68-57. 2015 class — 6-foot-8 power forward Carlton Bragg. Self will likely use at least one of those scholarships — and maybe more — to bolster the frontcourt. The Jayhawks are still targeting high school big men Stephen Zimmerman, a 7-footer from Las Vegas,
and 6-foot-9 forward Cheick Diallo of Centereach, New York, Kansas is also recruiting Mike Thorne Jr., a graduate transfer center from Charlotte who will reportedly visit Kansas later this month. For now, Kansas is moving forward with a frontcourt
that includes junior Perry Ellis, who is still monitoring his NBA stock, junior Jamari Traylor, junior Hunter Mickelson and sophomore Landen Lucas. The future, as expected, will not include Alexander. “Playing in Allen Fieldhouse ... that’s the craziest
place I have ever played,” Alexander said about his fondest memory of playing at Kansas. “I’m going to miss the fans. They showed me a lot of love everywhere I went. They are a very supportive fan base. I’m going to miss my teammates a lot. I’m going to miss everybody.”
SPORTS BRIEFS TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Bulls continue to face uncertainty ORLANDO, Florida — About the only certainty from the Bulls’ stretch run has been uncertainty. “Usually at this time, everybody kind of has the luxury to know exactly who is playing, what the rotations are,” Joakim Noah said. “We don’t have that luxury because of various reasons. We just have to keep building. I still believe in this team.” The team finally should
be whole, if not Wednesday at the Magic then at some point this week. For the first time since undergoing arthroscopic right knee surgery Feb. 27, Derrick Rose landed on the injury report as something other than “out.” Officially, Rose is listed as questionable. The former most valuable player has participated in four contact practices without issue and Friday marks the end of the four to six week timeline for his return officials presented after his procedure.

Kentucky’s Willie Cauley-Stein steps out of bounds as he tries to make a move on Wisconsin’s Sam Dekker in the NCAA Tournament national semifinal game.
NBA moves to dismiss suit LOS ANGELES — The NBA moved Monday to dismiss Donald Sterling’s federal lawsuit against the league, saying the former Los Angeles Clippers owner seeks “to portray himself as a victim of a variety of imagined and meritless legal wrongs.” The filing in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles is the latest move in Sterling’s 10-month legal tussle with the NBA over the sale of the franchise that he owned for 33 years. Last month, Sterling expanded the lawsuit to
include his wife, Rochelle; two doctors who found him mentally incapable of continuing as a member of the family trust that owned the Clippers; and former NBA Commissioner David Stern. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who banned Sterling for life after his inflammatory remarks about AfricanAmericans became public, is also a defendant. Sterling alleged that the parties engaged in a wideranging conspiracy to remove him as owner of the Clippers.
UK could lose seven to draft
CHRIS SWEDA TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Chicago Bulls Derrick Rose looks for an open teammate as he flies out of bounds in the first quarter as Los Angeles Lakers Derek Fisher looks on at the United Center.
INDIANAPOLIS — If John Calipari is correct, this year’s NBA Draft will resemble this college basketball season: There will be a distinct Kentucky presence. The UK coach spoke of several of his players entering this June’s NBA Draft. “We could lose seven guys,” he said Monday. “I would guess five at the minimum. But I would say seven is a distinct possibility.” A mong the players who’ve worn the Kentucky
uniform for the last time is probably All-American Willie Cauley-Stein. “I would say he and Karl, the twins, Trey,” Calipari said. “There’s no reason to hold off if you know what you’re doing.” Calipari was referring to Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew and Aaron Harrison and Trey Lyles. T hen there’s A lex Poythress, whose season ended in mid-December when he tore an anterior cruciate ligament.
