Following the 2009 and 2011 bike related fatalities in the Champaign-Urbana area, bike safety regulations remain an issue as biking is a major form of transportation for students and residents. The Champaign-Urbana Urbanized Area Transportation Study, conducted in 2011, found that six percent of staff, 18 percent of faculty, and 12 percent of students use a bicycle as their primary form of transportation while on campus. To increase safety, new bike paths will be added on campus over the summer. The Champaign, Urbana and University police reported 96, 49 and 22 biking accidents respectively from 2011 to 2014. Accidents most likely occurred in morning hours at busy intersections such as Green and Fifth streets or Kirby Drive and Mattis Avenue — four accidents occurred at each. Matt Crosby, University Police Department representative, said there has been an increase in the amount of tickets being issued to riders failing to follow traffic regulations along Goodwin Avenue and Green and Wright streets for riders. The U.S. Department of Transportation reported 726 fatalities in the nation in 2012 from biking-related accidents in its April 2014 study. This accounted for 2.2 percent of the country’s
total fatalities that year. The study found that 58 percent of accidents occur at non-intersections. Nolan Sovcik, freshman in Engineering, said he rides his bike on campus almost everyday and has witnessed frequent biking accidents on campus. He said he avoids riding his bike on the Quad and on the intersection of Wright and Armory during passing periods. “I sometimes feel unsafe when there are a lot of bikers or pedestrians, and I definitely avoid certain areas at certain times,” Sovcik said. The University Facilities and Services Department approved the Campus Bicycle Master Plan in March 2014, which called for $4 million to be used to improve biking conditions. The plan aims to increase safety for all forms of transportation by replacing some existing bike lanes with street cycling lanes while repairing damage done to the network of bike paths already on campus. “These bikeways will improve the campus in three major areas: safety of bicycling through better visibility and predictability; reduction of conflict with other transportation modes; and increased convenience for cyclists,” according to the Campus Bicycle Master Plan. The new plan takes into

ISS fights Dept. of Education Advocates join Title IX hearings BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
In the fall of 2014, Mitch Dickey, student body president, and Matt Hill, vice president-external, launched the “It’s On Us” campaign on campus to raise awareness about sexual assault, but they didn’t stop there. Dickey and Hill returned from Washington D.C. on Tuesday, where they met with legislators and Department of Education officials. Dickey and Hill made plans to fight the Department of Education recommendation that students not participate in Title IX conduct hearings, the hearings of sexual assault cases on campus. “It’s really important that students be included in these conversations, because it’s students deciding who
should and shouldn’t be a part of their community,” Dickey said. Dickey and Hill were representing the University at an event called “Big Ten on the Hill,” during which they had the opportunity to meet with other Big 10 student government members, “It’s On Us” campaign managers and policy leaders in the Department of Education, Hill said. “Most of the Big Ten are supportive of student adjudicators, and all of us did vote to support student adjudicators on the hearing boards,” Hill said. “I think what we’ve been seeing is universities are removing them from the hearing boards anyway.” Dickey said that although a recommendation by the Department of Education is not a law and it carries no legal obligation, universities often feel pressured to comply because of the authority

Apple Watch sells out, will not be delivered until May BY ANDREA CHANG TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Time was of the essence for hopeful Apple Watch owners: Just hours after the launch of the device, all models appear to be sold out for at least the next four to six weeks. Pre-orders for Apple’s smartwatch began at 12:01 a.m. Pacific time Friday. Although the watch will be released April 24, many people will have to wait a lot longer before they’ll actually have them on their wrists. Just 10 minutes after midnight, the shipping date for the black Apple Watch Sport was already estimated to be the middle of next month. A few minutes later, the time frame was pushed to late May. By 12:40 a.m., the Apple Watch Edition — the most high-end of the three models — in rose gold showed a ship date of July. For the yellow-gold version, which ranges in price from $10,000 to $17,000 depending on the buckle,
it was even longer: August. By 8:30 a.m., the yellowgold with a red buckle and the rose-gold case with a matching buckle no longer had an option to buy. In China, nearly every Apple Watch edition was listed as “out of stock,” tweeted Ben Thompson, founder of Stratechery, a tech blog. The best bet for customers who want an Apple Watch on their wrists before the summer are the stainless steel versions, which start at $549. Several options had estimated shipping dates of four to six weeks as of 8:30 a.m., though many were sold out. “Awesome. Everyone ordered the same 42mm Space Grey #AppleWatch Sport,” tweeted David Nitzsche. “We did this to ourselves.” Shortly before midnight, Glenville Morris tweeted: “#applewatch 3 laptops, my iPad mini and 6Plus all on the Apple Store app or the site. Pre-order nerves.
Hold me!” The start of pre-orders also means that shoppers can begin signing up for appointments to try on the watch at Apple’s retail stores. The move marks a big shift for the Cupertino, California-based company, which is expected to have to evolve its techgeared stores into a more fashion-focused luxury experience. Early Friday morning, it appeared the try-on appointments were also in high demand. Shortly before 1 a.m., a Los Angeles-area Apple Store was still showing three appointments for Friday, and several for Saturday and Sunday. But by 1:05 a.m., the calendar was down, replaced by a message that said: “This service is currently unavailable. Please try again later.” Earlier in the week, Apple said it expected to sell out of its initial supply of the Apple Watch at launch.

Vulcan statue beloved by Birmingham residents BY JOHN M. GLIONNA TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The statue goes by just one name: Vulcan. Around this polite Southern metropolis, he’s famous for his oversized head, manly beard, blacksmith’s apron and fearsome spear he raises toward the sky. There’s also a risque little feature that likens him more to a Chippendale dancer than iron effigy named for the Roman god of fire and forge: those greenish buns of steel, bared for all to see. Still, Vulcan is a beloved figure here, even if his semi-clothed physique seems more appropriate for Renaissance Italy — or contemporary San Francisco — than genteel Birmingham. Now 111 years old, the ungainly statue towers five stories over the southern
edge of town from atop Red Mountain. He’s the world’s largest iron-ore statue and among the nation’s tallest, behind the Statue of Liberty. In central Alabama, Vulcan is more than an icon; he’s a member of the family, complete with his own foibles. Residents know that Vulcan stands for the region’s work ethic and natural resources; a figure who hammers steel from the earth’s raw materials. Birmingham’s Iron Man. But they also, ahem, gossip behind his back. People have always wondered why Vulcan doesn’t wear pants. Residents in the Birmingham suburb of Homewood joke that Vulcan is flashing them from on high. Years ago, one woman waged a losing campaign with bumper stickers to
“Drape Vulcan.” A radio host once wrote a song about Vulcan’s sturdy derriere. He called it “Moon over Homewood” and it remains a local cult classic. The Vulcan Park and Museum sells Vulcan bobble-heads. But that’s not all that shakes. Said cashier Connie Richards: “We call it the Vulcan bobble-head and bobble-buns.” Poor Vulcan: There have been so many slights, so many indignities. For years, he might as well have been Humpty Dumpty. His parts sat disassembled at the county fairgrounds. His disembodied arm was a shameless advertising tool holding aloft ungodly merchandise, including ceramic ice cream cones, Lee jeans and a jar of Heinz pickles. At the museum, people

TITLE IX of a government entity. While the Department of Education recommendation only advocates the removal of students from these hearings, most universities that have chosen to comply with the recommendation have also removed faculty and staff, leaving the case to one or two chosen deans, Hill said. “It goes down to the fundamental core of what adjudication really is,” Dickey said. “Students also offer perspective generationally that faculty and staff wouldn’t have thought of.” Currently, students who are victims of sexual assault at the University must answer questions from a panel of students and faculty as well as the accused, said Renee Romano, vice chancellor for Student Affairs. Romano said the University will change the process regardless of the Department of Education recommendation; if approved by Chancellor Phyllis Wise, sexual assault cases will be handled like civil rights complaints as of August 2015. If the new process is approved, an investigator will speak with the victim and witnesses and then present the investigation findings to a panel, Romano said. “I believe that students ought to be on the panel,” Romano said. “I think that students understand student culture, what goes on, and I think students typically make good decisions.” According to the Department of Education, victims might not feel comfortable coming forward to face a panel. “The fear is that people on panels would ask victims unfortunate questions, and almost seem like they’re putting the victim on trial,

POLICE training police academy students, which focuses on de-escalation techniques. “We’ve started working on a curriculum that we hope will make a difference,” Schlosser said. “Awareness is important, and knowledge is important.” Schlosser said hours of training and work went into developing the new system. He said he and Cha-Jua are working to train new officers in ways many other training academies are not. “It’s how you talk to people,” Schlosser said. “It’s as simple as asking people things instead of telling them and taking the time to explain things. We want to give them options.” Cha- Jua said while working with Schlosser is an important first step in revamping how police are trained, he believes the whole system needs to change. “One of the few groups we give weapons to and the power to take a life away only requires a high school education,” Cha-Jua said. “Maybe they should require a college degree with at least a minor in African American or Latino studies before we let them on the streets with

However, she said as long as student panel members were properly trained, this would not be an issue. “I think if we commit ourselves to a good training process for students and faculty, I think that students can make just as good of decisions as anyone.” Another concern frequently cited by universities that choose to comply with the recommendation is if a victim had to face student adjudicators outside of the hearings, such as in class, Hill said. “We will have a process and procedures that prevent conflict of interest and give confidentiality to the survivor,” Hill said. “It’s a concern, but there’s ways to go about it.” While in Washington D.C., Hill and Dickey said representatives from Congressman Rodney Davis’ office reached out to them regarding amending the current sexual assault bill on the floor in the House. Hill said he would like to see an amendment that allows universities the option to keep students on the panels in sexual assault cases if they so choose. “We don’t have formal language for an amendment. It’s more just an idea right now, but hopefully we’ll able to work on that,” Hill said. Romano said she will recommend students remain on sexual assault hearing panels to Wise as well. She stressed the importance of students knowing their resources in important matters like sexual assault cases. “That’s one of the things about this new emphasis on Title IX and sexual assault,” Romano said. “We want students to know what the process is, know that there is a process, and know they can come forward.”

Ask an attorney to come to your community to educate yourself.” Burns said it is important to know the fourth amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures without probable cause. The panel also addressed the role of the media and private citizens in police brutality. “The media’s role is the
Title IX Sexual Assault Conduct Hearings
Sexual assault victims attend a hearing and answer questions from a panel of students and faculty members, as well as the accused. The University wants to reform its hearing process to follow a civil rights complaint proceeding. If approved, victims would testify to an investigator who would then present the case to a panel of students and faculty members.
What you need to know about Title IX
- Title IX a landmark federal civil right that prohibits sex discrimination in education. - Title IX protects all University members, including male, female and non-gender conforming students as well as faculty and staff. - Under Title IX, schools are required to be proactive in preventing sexual assault and discrimination. - Schools must have an established procedure of filing a complaint about sexual discrimination,
same as the police: telling the truth,” Schlosser said. “When I see police officers lying or covering things up, that embarrasses and angers me.” Cha- Jua said police reports should not be taken at face value, and it is important for citizens to support alternative media. “We know police lie, we can’t have media that simply reiterate the police story,” Cha-Jua said. “We can’t print an arrest record unless we also print complaints on the police officer.

EDITORIAL Mental health should be a higher priority
T
he University offers a multitude of services ranging from newly renovated recreational facilities to nationally ranked programs for students, often implying we have it all. Among this wide range of services are the Mental Health Clinic and the Counseling Center. Many students have reported having great success with the clinic or counseling center, but sadly, many others have not. One major issue is to schedule an appointment at the Counseling Center, students have to call the morning of the day they want an appointment. If the center is booked, or nothing fits your class schedule, you’ll have to wait until the next day or days after to make an appointment. Some students may feel they can wait a few days for an appointment, but some need more immediate help. Students need the University to give them the opportunity to easily use these resources and for mental health to be a main focus in services offered. The problem should be addressed rather than allowing students to slip through the cracks due to scheduling conflicts. In 2015 the Division of Mental Health is estimated to spend approximately $540 million while the requested appropriation for fiscal year 2016 is only $495 million. The cut would only affect facilities within the Illinois Department of Human Services Division of Mental Health. The decrease still speaks to a larger problem: Mental health care is not a big enough priority in the state. For many, dealing with mental health is a long term, or even lifelong, process. Providing these services to college students is incredible, but members outside of the college community and students post-graduation should be able to thrive personally and professionally without University resources. These budget cuts put these resources at risk. Furthermore, mental health care should continue past college. Very few services, similar to those above, are currently available to nonUniversity members in the Champaign-Urbana area. And while the Urbana City Council has begun discussions about reopening its mental health court, state funded mental health services are facing potential budget cuts, making these prospects less likely. Comprehensive mental health care should be a top priority inside the University, in its neighboring communities, and throughout the state. In recent years, the taboo surrounding mental health and the stigmas people suffering with these diseases face have decreased. People have become more comfortable seeking help for mental illness but the services need to continue to be funded in order to make a difference. Investing in solid mental health services creates a better University and society. Emphasizing the importance of mental health and continuing to fund services will allow students who need help to continue pursuing their goals and enjoy life without facing these extra hardships.

“BAD BLOOD,� GOOD VIDEO
Election season is quickly heating up. In the past week, Hillary Rodham Clinton got her campaign started, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul threw their hats into the ring, and now, Marco Rubio, a Florida Senator, has announced his candidacy. While there are certainly more Republicans interested in the seat, only time will tell if the Democrats have more quality than they do quantity. Start researching candidates, everyone!
The song that can only be defined as the best song off of “1989,� “Bad Blood,� will hopefully start to blast through our radio waves. In the meantime, we can all keep updated on the soon-to-premiere music video, as awesome looking pictures from the shoot keep surfacing. Cara Delevingne, Zendaya, Hayley Williams and Kendrick Lamar have all been seen on the set, so send us ideas on what’s going on here, as we are thoroughly perplexed.

“GOSSIP� ON THE STREET IS...
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR RITA WILSON
While we can’t say we would be proud if we were involved in a show like “One Tree Hill� or “90210,� it’s especially crushing to see everyone’s favorite person, Blake Lively, come out and say she feels like her tenure on “Gossip Girl� was “personally compromising,� and she wishes she could have put “a better message out there.� Well, S, you put out great fashion messages if that makes you feel better. — XOXO, “Gossip Girl� fan.
At a time where Angelina Jolie and Taylor Swift (regarding her mom) have come forth with personal admissions of cancer, Rita Wilson announced yesterday that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy. All three stars have used their experiences to encourage others to be more proactive about their health. We applaud their messages and strength and wish for a speedy recovery for all.
Stamping out Champaign hunger ALEX SWANSON Opinions columnist
P
erhaps you’ve heard that actress Gwyneth Paltrow has vowed to live on just $29 for a week to raise awareness for families who rely solely on food stamps. While I don’t think it is fair to expect celebrities to be role models and charity workers, I always applaud those in the public eye for directing the attention they receive toward notable causes. Oddly, there has been some controversy surrounding Paltrow’s campaign over what types of food she bought with the $29. Without spending too much time worrying about such criticisms, I’d like to point out that her intentions to raise awareness about hunger in America are clear and well-aimed. When I first read about Paltrow’s efforts, it didn’t particularly register with me. Of course, I consider the eradication of hunger in the United States to be a pertinent issue. But it also seemed like an issue quite removed from me and where I live. This may seem like quite a broad and nationally reach-
ing column for a college newspaper, but the reality is that hunger persists all over America, including in Champaign-Urbana. Hunger is something that perhaps is too often considered to be an issue only for far-away, developing countries. This means that it is also something that can be easy for many students with satisfactory access to food to push away from their minds. But, in fact, the Report on Illinois Poverty shows that 16.7 percent of residents in Champaign County regularly experience food insecurity, which is higher than the state average; 20.5 percent of children in Champaign County also experience food insecurity. The notion that one in five children living in our community don’t have satisfactory and consistent access to nutrition, to me at least, seems unacceptable and somewhat unexpected. After looking up just these few statistics, Paltrow’s efforts suddenly seemed much more applicable to our community. After convincing myself that this is a local issue as well as a national one, I started considering exactly what is being done and what can still be done to help reduce food insecurity in our community.
As you may or may not know, the University supports the existence of six student organizations that combat hunger: Challah for Hunger, FeelGood UIUC, Food for Education, Illini Fighting Hunger, Illini Food Recovery Network and Partnerships in Action. Beyond that, the two cities combined have a number of food pantries and soup kitchens. These organizations are making serious strides in helping to reduce food insecurity. For instance, to date Illini Fighting Hunger has packaged 1,280,211 meals for families. Just last week, the University hosted the Community and Campus Day of Service. From the efforts of that day alone, 160,000 meals were packaged and sent to families in need. Clearly, the issue of hunger and efforts to combat it are prevalent on this campus. While I absolutely acknowledge that the following is not true for all University students, it may be easy for a lot of us who are able to afford a college education to regard local hunger with too much apathy. It sometimes seems like a problem nonexistent on campus, and thus we often don’t consider how it may be affecting our community. That
apathy is part of the reason that I am supportive of Paltrow’s efforts. Regardless of your opinion on the manner in which she is doing it, she is stimulating a dialogue around the idea of hunger and food stamps in America. She’s brought the issue of hunger to my attention — and to the attention of many others around the world — and she inspired me to look into the issue more deeply. One of the amazing things about attending an institution as large as the University of Illinois is that it offers us chances to participate in hundreds of student organizations, and many of them are devoted to service. As difficult as the challenge may be, students at this University should continually push back against our tendency to produce apathy for unpleasant aspects of our society and instead invite attempts to change those aspects. We should be taking advantage of the opportunities the University provides us to face these issues head on. As a consequence of writing this column, I’m personally going to make a commitment to do so.

Statistics support concealed carry STEPHANIE YOUSSEF Opinions columnist
S
tate Sen. Brandon Phelps, the main sponsor of the Illinois concealed carry legislation that went into effect in 2013, has sponsored a dozen more bills expanding the rights of Illinois gun owners, which were proposed to the Illinois General Assembly yesterday. Proposals to expand concealed carry have been met by opposition from Chicago politicians and other Illinois residents, but given statistics about the safety concealed carry provides and the brushes the University has had with potential gun violence, concealed carry should be allowed on college campuses. Last week, The Daily Illini Editorial Board penned an opposition to expanding concealed carry laws to college campuses, arguing that allowing students to carry firearms on campus will be a catalyst for more crime. But studies by the National Academy of Sciences and the Harvard Injury Control Research Center show there is no evidence that legalizing concealed carry leads to an increase in violent crime or gun deaths. Furthermore, the Crime Prevention Research Center
has found that no concealed carry permit holder has ever shot an innocent bystander or committed a crime on a school campus. Oppositional arguments assume that due to the presence of alcohol on campuses and the high density of residents, the plausibility for gun violence increases. This is a claim that is refuted by data from colleges that already allow concealed carry. Over 150 colleges in the U.S. allow concealed carry and none of them saw an increase in crime after lifting gun bans. In fact, since allowing guns, not one of the campuses has seen a single act of gun violence or threat in over 1,500 combined semesters of legalized concealed carry. Additionally, FBI statistics show that crime is actually lower in areas where guns are allowed. Take Colorado schools for example. In 2003, Colorado State University allowed concealed carry on campus and saw a 61 percent drop in crimes on campus from 2002 to 2008. Specifically, sexual assaults on campus went from 47 events to just two in those six years. Colorado University, on the other hand, decided to ban guns and crime increased by 37 percent on their campus in the same time period. Some also argue that, in the context of mass shootings, concealed carry isn’t a debate necessary at the Uni-
versity because the chances of an incident happening here are slim. But shootings have come closer to our campus than some may expect. In 2011, James Holmes applied and was accepted into a doctoral program here at the University. In 2012, Holmes was the perpetrator of one of the worst mass shootings in recent history, killing 12 people and wounding 58 in an Aurora, Colorado, theatre where guns were banned. While attending the University as a graduate student in February 2008, Steven Kazmierczak drove up to Northern Illinois University, where he had conducted his undergraduate studies, where he shot and killed five students and injured 21 in the fifth deadliest university shooting in U.S. history. The Daily Illini editorial cites the Purdue University shooting and an incident where shots were fired at Canopy Club as examples in support of stricter gun bans. But at the time of the incidents, both Canopy and Purdue were (and still are) gun-free zones. These two incidents are actually prime examples of why gun bans don’t prevent gun crimes. I have previously written an article citing more data concerning the concealed carry of firearms in the United States. Most of the arguments against concealed carry that I have heard, much like the editorial, revolve
around emotional conjecture and fail to address concealed carry statistics. Due to some of the unsubstantiated speculations and stigmas surrounding legal gun use, students seem to ignore the wellresearched evidence in support of the safety concealed carry provides — evidence I find to be overwhelming. There is also a danger in perpetuating the false notion that concealed carry on campus somehow makes room for crime when the facts speak differently. Bans to concealed carry stemming from false notions of higher danger rob students of an opportunity to defend themselves. The innocent victims of the Aurora theatre shooter and the students who were shot at Purdue, NIU and in shootings on college campuses across the country couldn’t legally carry guns where they were killed; they had no legal right to use guns for self-defense. Students and other Illinois residents should write to their congressmen supporting the expansion of concealed carry laws to campus. Law-abiding students in Illinois need the legal right to arm themselves with a resource for personal security. Still think that banning concealed carry on campus protects you? Think again.

Badlands worth a visit for its nature, history BY PATTI NICKELL TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
BADLANDS NATIONAL PARK, S. D. — As far as sunsets go, it had to be one of the best I’d ever seen. Bands of vibrant colors stretched across the horizon — each taking its turn at center stage. First came gold in the form of a starburst that dazzled the eye, followed by hot pink that slowly melted away like a glob of strawberry ice cream. Soft lavender and blue gave way to purple and eventually, all-encompassing black. It was nothing short of magical. A moonscape on Earth is the best way to describe the 380-mile Badlands National Park, whose 243,000 acres make up the largest grass prairie in the United States. These rolling grasslands are punctuated by buttes, spires and pinnacles constituting a landscape so inhospitable that the native Lakota Sioux dubbed it Mako Sica — bad land. Other than the Lakota, it was once home only to jack rabbits, rattlesnakes and the occasional desperado fleeing a sheriff’s posse. The most obvious manifestation of this inhospitable terrain is The Wall, a 100-mile ridge of crooked cliffs so eroded by water it looks like a giant’s maw filled with broken teeth. It has taken 37 million years of erosion to carve the deep canyons, razorsharp ravines and saw-edged spires in crayon-box colors ranging from shell pink to cobalt blue. The lunar-like landscape offers a stark and savage beauty of the kind that graces postcards, but visitors must treat it with respect. Hikers should be sure not to venture off the well-marked trails, and to take along plenty of water. If you’re a history buff, you should know that the southern part of the Badlands, known as Stronghold Unit, belongs to the Oglala Lakota Sioux, and preserved within it is their most sacred site — Stronghold Table — where the last of the tribe’s Ghost Dances took place in 1890, just before the massacre at Wounded Knee some 25 miles to the south. If you’re into anthropology, know that the Badlands has one of the richest fossil beds in North America, and that the fossils of both rhi-
no and saber-tooth cats have been found. Today’s fauna — a bit less exotic — include antelope, deer, bison, bighorn sheep and the rare black-footed ferret. The Badlands should serve as a message to those who think of South Dakota as merely a state to drive through en route to someplace else. That message: Stop and stay awhile. True, South Dakota appears to lack the requisite attractions that make a location a tourist magnet. It has no sea coast, no Disney-style theme parks, no large cities. Its mountains, while lovely, lack the grandeur of ranges in neighboring Montana and Wyoming. So, just what does South Dakota have that makes it worth a visit? Plenty — not the least of which is a passionate devotion to its Western heritage. The Black Hills, about 55 miles west of the Badlands, and once home to the Lakota nation, is a 1.2 million-acre
The lunar-like landscape offers a stark and savage beauty of the kind that graces postcards, but visitors must treat it with respect. national forest that stretches from Rapid City to the Wyoming state line. The Black Hills have been described as a vest-pocket edition of the Rockies which begin about 300 miles to the west. But just because they’re smaller — average elevations are around 7,000 feet compared to 14,000 in the Rockies — doesn’t mean they are any less beautiful. A drive through Spearfish Canyon or to Bridal Veil Falls will convince you of that. Deer, antelope and elk are common here. Buffalo, once so depleted they took on the guise of mythological beasts, are plentiful in the Black Hills. Streams teem with trout, bass and walleyed pike. History surrounds you. Gold was discovered in the Black Hills in 1874, leading to an influx of white prospectors and settlers to an area the Lakota had claimed as their own. This, in turn, led
to the last major Indian War on the Great Plains — the Black Hills War (1876-77), which included the Battle of the Little Bighorn in neighboring Montana. In the midst of all this natural beauty are manmade monuments that manage to become part of the environment, rather than to intrude upon it. The most famous, of course, is Mount Rushmore National Memorial, where sculptor Gutzon Borglum spent 14 years carving massive granite profiles of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, measuring 60 feet from forehead to chin. Mount Rushmore is quintessential Americana, but I was more drawn to another Black Hills monument — that honoring Lakota chief Crazy Horse. The world’s largest sculpture in progress, it was commissioned in 1948 when a Lakota elder, Henry Standing Bear, approached sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski and asked him to create something “that would let the white man know that the red man has his heroes, too.” Ziolkowski, impressed with Standing Bear’s earnestness, began carving the sculpture from the side of a mountain. It was to show Crazy Horse on horseback — long hair streaming behind him and arm outstretched — capturing the spirit of a great warrior. He worked on it until his death in 1984, at which time he implored his wife, Ruth, “to continue the work but go slowly so you do it right.” Ruth died in 2014, but work continues through the efforts of six of the couple’s 10 children, assorted grandchildren and a dedicated foundation. The project receives no government funding and depends entirely on visitors fees and donations. To give you some idea of the scope of this magnificent sculpture, Crazy Horse’s head is 88 feet tall and that of his horse, 219 feet. When completed, the 564-foot granite sculpture will be 100 feet taller than Egypt’s Great Pyramid at Giza. From the Badlands to the Black Hills, South Dakota has a lot to offer. So the next time you are driving through the state to get somewhere else, don’t be in such a hurry.

ILLINITHON activities.” Azzaro said the participants will also progressively learn the Morale Dance, a 12-minute mix of songs with a choreographed routine. At the end of the night, all of the attendees will do the dance in sync four or five times in a row to fi nish with lots of energy. Schrowang said this year, the overall theme is Disney, which includes hours dedicated to classic Disney characters, prince and princess fairy tales and Pixar. “Check-in begins at 11, and the madness goes from there,” Schrowang said. The participants form teams that wear different colored shirts and represent the Miracle Children or the hospital patients. Many of the teams are Greek organizations, both from social and service fraternities on campus, but many RSOs are also participating. Schrowang said individuals can also join without a group affi liation. All of the participants are working toward a common goal: to help the patients and families of St. John’s. This year, 13 families are coming to the events, but the day is especially dedicated to one little girl. “This year is kind of special for our event, because about a week ago, one of our
Miracle Children passed away,” Rawleigh said. “Her name is Faith, and this year is in honor of her. We put her name on the backs of our shirts; she has her own team. It really puts things in perspective for us.” Schrowang said that some of the families of the hospital patients will come back every year, which allows the group members to form long-term relationships. “Our exec board is invited to one of the kid’s birthday parties every year because we’ve maintained such a good relationship with them,” Azzaro said. Throughout the night, the families will share their stories and talk about how St. John’s has helped them. Jennifer Lin, senior in Engineering, has participated in Dance Marathon events at her high school and has been a dancer at IlliniThon since her freshman year. “Though most of us don’t comprehend the level of hardships the families have endured, we support them fully because we see how St. John’s Children’s Hospital transforms the money into miracles,” Lin wrote in an email. “Being able to see who exactly it is I’m fundraising for makes me feel connected and more dedicated to helping out the cause.” The executive board of the event has been planning for this Saturday since last
spring, Rawleigh said. “Right after the event ends, we start planning for the next year, just because there are so many components to planning something like this,” Rawleigh said. Schrowang said that IlliniThon differs from other philanthropic organizations because the entire year is spent working up to one 12-hour event. “You support it all year, and then you get to see all of your hard work pay off,” she said. Lin said the hardest part of any Dance Marathon event is staying on your feet for the full 12 hours. “No matter what shoes you wear, the weight of your body on your feet leave you sore for days,” Lin wrote in an email. “But the pain we feel is only the smallest fraction of the pain the children and their families go through, so it’s a constant reminder to be grateful for what we have and to stay strong for those that we help.” Even though the event is long, the energy level always stays high. “As cliche as it sounds, our energy comes from seeing these families at the event,” Rawleigh said. “It’s a long event, but it goes by so fast. There are so many things going on; you don’t have time to realize that (when) you’re tired.”

FRANCES WELCH THE DAILY ILLINI

Right: James Treichler, drummer and audio engineer of Elsinore, looks at a sound board for day one of recording the band’s new album.
THE BAND IS BACK Elsinore returns for Friday’s Cowboy Monkey concert BY FRANCES WELCH STAFF WRITER
Seven days before recording its most recent album, “PUSH/ PULL,� local band Elsinore lost half of its members. Studio time was already reserved and a producer was scheduled to be flown out from Portland, but the band’s dynamic wasn’t working, making the previous members opt out last minute. Frontman Ryan Groff and keyboardist Mark Woolwine were left to produce an album without a drummer or a bass player. A decision had to be made and quick — decisions that would change the band forever. That’s when drummer James Treichler and bass player Brad Threlkeld stepped up to the plate. Not only did Groff and Treichler have a preestablished relationship at the
time, but Treichler was already a well-established drummer from his other project, The Dirty Feathers. From his performance style to personality, Groff knew that the addition of Treichler would be a perfect match both stylistically and intellectually. When Threlkeld was extended an offer to join the band, it seemed as though fate had taken its course, Groff said. Threlkeld’s previous band had just broken up back in Lafayette, Indiana, and he called Groff to see how things were going with the new members search. That’s when Groff and Woolwine knew that they couldn’t pass up the opportunity. They knew how Threlkeld played, and they meshed on a personal and stylistic level. In a week’s time, the foursome produced an album. The material
was influenced by the previous two members, but the record had a stylistic twist making it known that Elsinore was now Treichler and Threlkeld’s band too. “We’re all dedicated, and we’re all on the same page, which is the most important part. If you’re in a band and one person doesn’t really want to do it, it brings the whole band down,� Threlkeld said. Groff said “PUSH/PULL� was a record that spoke to the situation that was happening at that time: a perfect representation of four people coming together to pick up the pieces and create an outcome that exceeded expectations. After national tours and playing over 100 shows in the past two years, the band went into hibernation for the last six months to
focus on “PUSH/PULL.� This hibernation will take a hiatus for one show this Friday at Cowboy Monkey. The show will include the material for which ChampaignUrbana knows the band best. This performance is bringing a new kind of Elsinore, with songs from their upcoming album, which represent everything that the band is right now: bombastic, bold and creative, with new qualities that will surprise listeners, Groff said. It will also showcase a different songwriting process, Threlkeld said, in addition to debuting their newest and fifth member of the band: Eric Enger. “It is the magic equation for what we’re doing. It’s one of the only ways that too many cooks in the kitchen can be a good thing,� Groff said. “If one of us gets stumped, someone is going to have an idea because it’s five people who are very different and very invested equally in this (record), and we’re all coming from a slightly different angle.� Elsinore is excited to see what a creative change will bring in terms of attention. Landing songs
on a Kohl’s commercial, episodes on NBC and FOX and a song featured in the fi lm Nate & Margaret, all from the band’s 2010 record, “Yes Yes Yes,� Elsinore put Champaign-Urbana back on the musical map. This national attention, however, occurred in a way that was different than what C-U bands had received in the past. Alternative ‘90s bands, such as American Football, Hum and Braid made Champaign-Urbana a powerhouse for rock bands, drawing national attention with commercials, tours and sold-out shows. Yet Elsinore has done just that but with a sound that is completely unique to the area. “I think I’ve always felt that pressure to live up to that name that Champaign-Urbana has had, especially since the ‘90s, when it was the other Seattle,� Groff said. Comparing themselves to Death Cab For Cutie and Phoenix, Elsinore has dedicated their lives to making a sound that not only they can be proud of but the city of Champaign-Urbana can be recognized for.

IlliniThon to raise money for children’s hospital BY BELLA JACKSON STAFF WRITER
At noon on Saturday, almost 500 students will start dancing in the Illini Union. The music, energy and movement will continue until midnight. But during that time, they will raise money for children treated at the St. John’s Children’s Hospital in Springfield. Dance Marathon, a nationwide organization dedicated to raising money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, was founded in 1991 and has spread to more than 150 schools. At the University, the event is known as IlliniThon and fundraises for St. John’s Children’s Hospital in Springfield. At the event, families of the hospital patients share their stories, play games
and dance alongside the students. “We get to see the kids that we’re donating our money towards,� said Alyssa Rawleigh, IlliniThon president and senior in Media. “We get to play games with them and just have them be regular kids and out of the hospital.� Although this is the seventh IlliniThon, Rawleigh said this year will be exciting and different because of some changes they’ve implemented.

Backup running back spot still up for grabs BY MICHAL DWOJAK
Krug’s late heroics put streak at 12
ILLINI OF THE
WEEK
BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
STAFF WRITER
Running the football wasn’t the Illinois football team’s strength during the 2014 season. The Illini ranked 13th in the Big Ten in rushing offense, averaging 117.5 yards per game and 3.7 yards per run. Starting running back Josh Ferguson is returning for his senior season, but with the departure of Donovonn Young, the fight for the backup spot is wide open. Newcomers such as freshman Dre Brown and junior transfer Henry Enyenihi have made progress, but there is still work left before the start of the season. “They’re doing well, they’re catching along well,� Ferguson said. “Being around Coach (Bill) Cubit has helped them a lot as well, it’s just up to them to get into the playbook and get the things down.� Brown has made the biggest impression during the spring. After missing the first part of the spring due to a knee injury, he rested during spring break and has risen to the top of the pack. Both head coach Tim Beckman and Cubit said Tuesday that if the season started the next day, Brown would be the No. 2 running back. He received most of the reps in the team’s open practice at Springfield’s Sacred HeartGriffin High School on Friday. Ferguson will be used more as a dual-threat running back in the slot position with the absence of wide receiver Mike Dudek, who is sidelined with a partially torn ACL. With Ferguson’s experience as a fifthyear senior, the team will try to rest him as much as possible to keep him healthy, creating an opportunity for his backup to rise to the occasion. “They have to get up to the pace of a college football game, that’s probably the biggest issue we have right now,� Cubit said. “But we’re not playing tomorrow, we have a long way to go ... they have to show patience and urgency.�
Similar face, new job
Beckman announced Friday that Ryan Cubit would be added to the fulltime coaching staff as quarterback coach and recruiting coordinator. Ryan Cubit joined the Illinois staff prior to the 2013 season and served two years as director of football student-athlete development. He was heavily involved in recruiting, oversaw all on-campus activities of student-athletes in the program, while also managing on-campus admissions for incoming freshmen and transfers. Ryan’s father Bill Cubit will remain as offensive coordinator and will coach running backs. Alex Golesh will take over as special teams coordinator while also coaching tight ends and specialists. Ryan Cubit coached quarterbacks at Western Michigan and is enthusiastic about his group of signal-callers. “It’s not something new for me,� Ryan Cubit said. “I have experience doing it so I’m excited for it, it’s a new challenge for me.�

Summary: Illinois won its 11th straight with the help of some late inning heroics. Key performer: Senior Will Krug delivered the game-winning pinch hit with the bases loaded in the eighth inning. Quote of the game: “We never get rattled and we’re always calm because we always know we’re in the fight.� — Krug have on our side.� Starting pitcher Rob McDonnell struggled with his command early on, but the Illini defense bailed its pitcher out of two secondinning walks with a double play to erase the first and a nice throw by Goldstein to catch the second runner stealing. Illinois’ defense has gone three straight games without an error and head coach Dan Hartleb has been impressed. “Our defense was really outstanding,� Hartleb said. “We’ve done a great job defensively and everybody competes.� McDonnell didn’t allow a hit until the fourth inning, but the big lefty exited the game after throwing 92 pitches through 4 1/3 innings. He walked five, struck out two and allowed one run. In relief of McDonnell, sophomore Cody Sedlock struck out a season-high five batters in just two innings. Reliever Nick Blackburn took the mound in the eighth and pitched two shutout innings to close it out. With Tuesday’s win, Illinois has won seven straight midweek matchups and its 11-game winning streak is the longest active streak in the nation.

The roster will be divided into an Orange team and a White team, with the ones (starters) playing on the Orange team and twos and threes playing on the White team. There will be some players playing for both teams. The group will wear blue jerseys and play for both teams, and all will be subbed out from play-to-play to make sure they get rest. The White team will start the game with a 17-0 lead due to the disparity of players on each team, and for Beckman, the goal for each team is simple. “The White team has to hold the lead and our No. 1s need to try to capture the lead from the White team.�
Honorable Mentions
With the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth inning of a tie game Tuesday night, the Illinois baseball team needed a hit. Pinch hitter Will Krug came into the box and gave them just that, slapping a single to left field to drive in the run that would give the Illini their 11th consecutive victory. I l l i n oi s (3 0 - 6 -1) squeaked out a 7-3 win over Illinois State (17-16) in a pitcher’s duel in Normal, Illinois. In the midst of a disappointing season at the plate, Krug proved to be the unlikely hero. “I did my job when I was asked to, which was good,� Krug said. “More importantly, our team put us in that position to have any one of us get the opportunity to do that.� While the rest of the Illinois lineup was stagnant until the late innings, third baseman Ryne Roper went 3-for-4 out of the nine hole, including a RBI single in a two-run seventh inning that gave Illinois its fi rst lead of the game. Illinois State answered with a two-run bottom of the seventh, though, and retook a 3-2 lead. The Illini began their comeback eighth inning with a walk, single and sacrifice bunt before center fielder Casey Fletcher tied the game at three apiece with a fielder’s choice groundout. Catcher Jason Goldstein was then hit by a pitch to load the bases, and Krug delivered the game-winning tworun single. After adding another eighth-inning run on a wild pitch and one more in the ninth from senior Reid Roper’s RBI hit, Illinois scored all seven of its runs in the fi nal three innings. “It’s just a great feeling,� Krug said. “We never get rattled and we’re always calm because we always know we’re in the fight. It’s a great thing to

Senior gymnast Jordan Naleway, the “mom” of the women’s gymnastic team, is hugged by her teammates.
‘Mama’ leaves her nest Women’s Gymnastics says goodbye to its ‘mom’ BY ASHLEY WIJANGCO STAFF WRITER
Jordan Naleway earned her first varsity letter — commemorating her first collegiate season — at the 2012 Illinois gymnastics awards banquet. But that night, Naleway was also deemed the next “mom” of the women’s gymnastics team. Then-senior Hannah Welker had a gray “Illinois Mom” t-shirt and was to give it to whoever she felt would be the next “mom” of the team. To no one’s surprise, Naleway ended up receiving the shirt. Naleway, who recently completed her senior season, has lived up to the “mom” label placed upon her three years ago. In the senior night program for Illinois’ meet against Oklahoma on Feb. 27, senior Sunny Kato said, “Jo will be remembered as the mama hen on this team. She loves her baby chicks with everything she has and will go through hoops to protect each and every one of us.” “Everybody kind of jokes with me about that,” Naleway said. “But one of the things that I pride myself on is caring about the other girls more than I care about myself. I want to make sure that I’m there to help them get through whatever they need to get through.” Despite the jokes, the gymnasts appreciate Naleway and her “mom” role. In one sea-

to have Naleway as an athlete. Landrus called her “one of the most respectful athletes that (she has) ever coached” and an athlete who never stops growing. Naleway went from competing on the uneven bars four times in her freshman season to maintaining a spot in the bars, balance beam and floor lineups for all 13 meets this season. She was also a contributing factor to the only two 197-scores in program history and competed for Illinois at NCAA Championships in 2013 and 2014. This season, Naleway won’t have the chance to compete at Nationals one last time — the Illini’s third-place finish at Regionals on April 4 wasn’t enough to earn a Nationals berth — so her gymnastics career has ended. “I’m not ready for it to be done,” Naleway said. “It’s just something that I’m going to have to get used to I guess.” It’s also something Illinois will have to get used to. The Illini are losing a consistent gymnast, for Naleway never fell during any of her routines throughout four seasons at Illinois. They’re also losing a leader and role model — someone who, when it’s a bad day in the gym, will “always go over and encourage you,” as sophomore Mary Jane Horth put it. And they’re also losing the team “mom.” “I don’t know who I’m going to give it to this year,” Naleway said of her “Illinois Mom” t-shirt. “Somebody has to fill the role when I’m gone.”
“I was not even thinking about coming to college,” Maestas said. “School wasn’t my strong point. I kind of struggled a little bit.” “I would’ve had to apply to grad school, which is a great thing to do, but to get to the Olympics you need to put gymnastics at the forefront. Making that decision was hard because I care about this team.” Besides the dedication needed inside the classroom, living in a college town brings about other distractions that aren’t school-related.
pion that he would appreciate having him back for another year, he agreed with Maestas’ decision to graduate. “We had to do what was best for his career,” Spring said. “That’s what I’m committed to as a coach.” Upon graduation, Maestas will live the next year and a half in Colorado Springs, Colorado, at the Olympic Training Center to qualify for a spot in the 2016 Olympic Games.
“I want to make sure that I’m here to help them get through whatever they need to get through.”
“In the middle of the season, when our team has to stay in, you hear frats, sororities and random people walking up and down the street yelling and screaming about how they’re going out,” Valdez said. “It’s not (the lifestyle) for framing Olympiccaliber gymnastics.” The decision took him roughly one year to make. Naturally, he spent a lot of time discussing the matter with his coaches and teammates. Even though Spring made it known to the national cham-

SOFTBALL The Blue Demons sit in second place in the Big East. Since conference play began, DePaul has scored almost 10 runs per game. Both teams have a go-to pitcher. For DePaul, it is senior Mary Connolly, and for Illinois it is sophomore Jade Vecvanags. The two have pitched 96 2/3 and 98 2/3 innings, respectively. In the circle, Connolly has a record of 9-10 with a 5.79 ERA in 22 appearances. Vecvanags has a record of 12-8 with a 5.18 ERA in 26 appearances. Connolly is a special case for the Blue Demons because she is not only the team’s best pitcher, but also the team’s best hitter. Connolly has hit .415 with 11 home runs and 33 RBIs and leads the team in all three categories. Connolly
has started 32 of the Blue Demons’ 33 games either in the circle or on the field this year. Vecvanags has taken on the bulk of the pitching responsibilities for the Illini since conference play began and in the last four games, she has found her groove. In the win on Sunday against Maryland, Vecvanags had one of her best moments of the season, according to Sullivan, when she ended the game with a nine-pitch atbat, striking out Shannon Bustillos, who had struck out six times this season prior to facing Vecvanags. “It makes it a lot easier knowing that Jade has our back,” captain Allie Bauch said. “When we know that she has our back, and she knows that we have her back, we are pretty much unstoppable.”

er backs that came before him is his size. Though a bit shorter than Gordon at 5-foot-11 (Gordon came in at 6-foot-1), Clement is nearly 20 pounds heavier than his predecessor. While Clement is every bit as shifty and elusive as Gordon, his 20-pound advantage over the Heisman Trophy candidate cannot be overstated. A 20-pound difference is nothing to ignore — it has the potential to make Clement so much more of a challenge to bring down with arm tackles for opposing defenses. Part of the equation that will make Clement, like every other
running back before him, carry the burden of Wisconsin’s 2015 success is the lack of a playmaker at quarterback. Joel Stave, the presumptive starting quarterback, is a typical Wisconsin game manager (with the exception of Russell Wilson) — though a below average one at that. Stave had a paltry 53% completion rating in 2014, throwing more interceptions than touchdowns. Given the unimpressive status of the QB position, the Badgers will only go as far as Clement can carry them. In the same way that Wisconsin basketball constantly produces the

any college football programs around the nation loudly boast about being the rightful owner of the “Running Back U” moniker. Though always a source of debate among fans and pundits, it may be time to end that debate and bestow the title of “Running Back U” on the Wisconsin Badgers. In recent years, Madison has emerged as a diamond mine of tailback talent. Over the course of the last three seasons, the assembly lines underneath Camp Randall Stadium have churned out a trio of halfbacks equivalent to the Ford Model T. Past standouts include Montee Ball, James White and Melvin Gordon — all of which went on to be drafted in the NFL (Gordon is expected to be among the top backs taken in the draft this year). And, just when Big Ten defensive coordinators thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, the Badgers are back with yet another explosive halfback to fill the void left by Gordon. With spring football games taking place on campuses this month, it is high time for the rest of the country to familiarize itself with the name Corey Clement. Though not yet a national name, Clement had an extremely successful 2014 campaign as the backup to Gordon. Clement rushed for almost 1,000 yards and nine touchdown carries for the Badgers a season ago — this after rushing for seven

touchdowns as a redshirt freshman in 2013. One of his best performances in 2014 came in an October game against Illinois, when he ran for 164 yards and one score. Over the last two seasons, Clement emerged as one of the most lethal and explosive backup tailbacks in the nation. With Clement in the backfield, Wisconsin hardly missed a beat when Gordon came out for a few plays. With his contributions to the Wisconsin running game, the Badgers ranked as the nation’s No. 4 rushing offense, averaging about 320 yards per game — largely what carried them all the way to the Big Ten Championship Game. With yet another running back on his way to the NFL, Wisconsin’s rushing attack will likely be as strong as ever and allow it to potentially challenge Ohio State and Michigan State for conference supremacy. The Badgers will once again pose all sorts of problems on the ground for every defense they face, and Corey Clement will emerge as the top back in the country and possibly a sought-after NFL draft prospect in 2016. Watch any highlight film of Clement, and his combination of skill, speed and patience is clear. Clement has an extremely quick first step that allows him to accelerate and hit the holes opened up by the offensive line in a flash. He also boasts an uncanny amount of patience and an elite ability to get to the edge and leave opposing linebackers and defensive backs in the dust. The one attribute he has that may make him more difficult to defend than Gordon and the oth-

THE DAILY ILLINI | WWW.DAILYILLINI.COM
Illinois women’s rowing club wraps up regular season where we were compared to these crews this past weekend and seeing how we compare later and gauge our progress against theirs,� Kisting said. While the Varsity 8+ boat did not place above Grand Valley, who they knew would be a challenging opponent, the Varsity 8+ boat did shave time off its times in its races, allowing them to close up time margins against the other teams. The Illini have two more races prior to a month of training before the ACRA Nationals in Gainesville, Georgia. To prepare for these regattas, the team will have higher-intensity workouts during practice over the next few weeks as opposed to a more aerobic workout. The higher intensity practices are intended to “simulate what it’s going to be like rowing in the middle of the race,� Kisting said. Toward the end of the semes-
BY EMMA MCGOWEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Illinois women’s rowing team wrapped up its regular season this past weekend with the women’s Varsity 8+ boat finishing last out of seven teams and the Novice 8+ boat placing third out of six teams at Don Lubber’s Cup. “We got a lot of racing experience,� senior club president Meridith Kisting said. “We got to go up against boats we’ll see later in the season, and it was a very encouraging race because we went up against some of the best clubs in the country.� The Illini faced two teams at the meet in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that they will face two more times this season. Illinois will face Purdue and Grand Valley State at the MACRA Championships and the ACRA Nationals in April and May, respectively. “It’s a great chance to see
ter, and as Nationals get closer, the team will practice two times a day and make trips out to Clinton Lake in DeWitt, Illinois, to gain more experience in more exposed conditions. Homer Lake, in Ogden, Illinois, where the team usually practices, is relatively sheltered and does not allow the team to practice with high winds or choppy waters too often. This weekend, the team prepares to host 12 teams for the Third Annual Illinois Collegiate Rowing Invite at Clinton Lake. At the event, the teams will compete for men’s and women’s points championships, with men’s and women’s events scored equally. The Illinois school (five of the 12 teams are from Illinois) that fi nishes with the highest point total will be crowned Illinois State Champion. PHOTO COURTESY OF KEVIN SZUBRYCH
