UI students grateful for Red Bull opportunity BY LAUREN SCAFIDI STAFF WRITER
One hundred and sixty-five teams, seven days and one question: “Can you make it?” This question will be the motivation for team adrenILLINI as they make their way around Europe for the next seven days competing in the Red Bull Can You Make It? challenge. Alison Mo and Nirali Nahar, both seniors, and Nina Rajcevic, a junior, are the three University business students comprising adrenILLINI. AdrenILLINI arrived in Europe Monday and will embark upon their journey starting Tuesday at noon. The students will have to give up their cash, credit cards and phones for a week, all in exchange for 24 cans of Red Bull. While Red Bull is commonly used as an energy drink, these cans of Red Bull will serve a different purpose. They will be used as currency. For the 165 teams coming from all over the world, the cans of Red Bull as currency will be used for food, transportation, housing and anything else they may need along the way. “Red Bull is obviously not worth that much in monetary value,” Nahar said. “The biggest thing is to sell our story and explain why we are doing what we are doing.” Every day, the teams must check in at major cities that serve as “checkpoints,” where they are given 24 more cans of Red Bull each time. The teams are only told their start point and end point. The cities they stop at in between are completely up to them. “There’s only so much we can prepare for this, because there’s a huge element of unexpectedness involved,” Rajcevic said. “We know we are starting in Prague and ending in Paris, but everything in between is to be determined.” Since the whole trip will be unplanned and unpredictable, adrenILLINI is most excited to live in the moment and be spontaneous, which is something they are not really used to, they said. “We are all super organized and big planners, I

HIDRA is prepared before its first plasma attempt in the Nuclear Radiation Laboratory on Friday.
Historic day in nuclear research BY ASHNI GANDHI STAFF WRITER
The University’s former nuclear reactor, the TRIGA (Teaching, Research, Isotopes, General Atomic) reactor, was dedicated as a National Nuclear Historic Landmark on Friday. The president of the American Nuclear Society, Eugene Grecheck, visited the University and a marker was unveiled for the dedication. Susan Mumm, alumni affairs coordinator for nuclear, plasma and radiological engineering, said that TRIGA was built in the late `50s, shut down in 1998 and had its fuel removed in 2004. The building has since been dismantled, taken down and the area is now a green space. Mumm explained that since the building no longer exists it is important to commemorate the space. “This year we put in a nomination to the American Nuclear Society because of the research that was done
in this facility to have it dedicated as a national nuclear historic landmark,” she said. “(We) built a marker, and constructed that at the site to let other generations know a reactor was there and the importance it had in nuclear research.” Jim Stubbins, professor and department head of nuclear, plasma and radiological engineering said the TRIGA reactor was special and unique to the Engineering department’s faculty and students. “It was a major research facility that had special capabilities,” Stubbins said. The University also finally started its new Hybrid Illinois Device for Research and Applications reactor Friday. This reactor is a fusion device and like all fusion devices, it combines two hydrogen atoms to form helium. This is unlike the TRIGA which split uranium atoms into smaller elements. Both processes release a massive amount of energy because some of the molecule’s mass
is directly converted into energy. The formation of a plasma in the HIDRA means that experiments can finally be conducted using the device. Professors and students alike, like David Ruzic, the director of the lab containing the HIDRA, were incredibly excited by the device’s completion Friday. “This event is a testament to student involvement,” Ruzic said in an email. “At Illinois students just don’t learn about science — they get to do it. (This event) could not have happened without their dedicated involvement and effort. I am proud of every one of them!” Based on Mumm’s explanation, the TRIGA marker is fairly significant. It has the history of the reactor, a metal flag encased inside it and photos of what TRIGA used to look like. While TRIGA was a major asset for nuclear engineers for years, HIDRA will be a major facility going into the future. Grecheck spoke about the
bittersweet event on Friday and the way the world needs nuclear power. “We are seeing that people outside the industry who are realizing how important it is that we provide power to all people of the world but do it in a way that is environmentally responsible and doesn’t create carbon catastrophe in the meantime,” Grecheck said. “People that have looked at it … realize that there is no way to do it without nuclear.” Grecheck then talks about the meaning of the award and its impact on the University’s future for students and faculty. “This award is not only memories of the past, but it ought to be inspiration for the future,” he said. “(And) realizing that we are really doing something and have done something in our careers. And the students that are here you have a chance to make a difference in the world.”

Legislators approve emergency funds DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Emergency funding is coming to the nine public universities after the Illinois General Assembly passed a bill Friday. After a long budget stalemate in Illinois that has led to budget cuts throughout the state’s public colleges and universities, Illinois lawmakers voted to support $600 million in funding for higher education. The decision was reached unanimously in the Senate after being approved in the House. The legislation will now go to Gov. Bruce Rauner, who is expected to sign it. The funding is coming from a surplus in Illinois’ Education Assistance Fund and is expected to contribute nearly $200 million in tuition grants for lowincome students. The $600 million in funding for this legislation comes from the state's Education Assistance Fund, which today has $354 million on hand. The approved bill comes
mean, we all live out of our Google planners so I’m excited to see how this plays out,” Nahar said. Before adrenIL LINI was even given the opportunity to go to Europe, they had to successfully earn the most likes on a minute-long video they created to prove they “can make it.” “We wanted to get out the message that we are super adventurous, we are super excited about this challenge and we can make it,” Nahar said. The video shows adrenILLINI decked out in Illini gear and drinking Red Bull with their friends as they reminisce on pictures of them studying abroad in Europe last year. “We wanted to show there was support on our side, and we have definitely felt that through U of I,” Mo said. “We also wanted to showcase that we can inspire others to live life to the fullest.” AdrenILLINI pulled two all-nighters to make sure the video was absolutely perfect before releasing it, they said. The next step was to market themselves so they could get as many likes on their video so they would be chosen to go to Europe. To do this, adrenILLINI posted their link to large Facebook groups, individually messaged people on Facebook, went to sorority dinner announcements and talked to as many people as possible to get them to believe in their team and vote for them. “The marketing was kind of difficult because there were twelve teams from U of I that were also trying to get likes from the same groups of people,” Nahar said. However, all adrenILLINI’s hard work in marketing paid off. They were the only one of 12 teams from the University selected to go to Europe, making them the only team from the state of Illinois. Eighteen total teams from the United States will be participating in the challenge starting Tuesday. “We want to be competitive about this but enjoy everything that comes our way too. We can make it, we can totally make it,” Nahar said. “Let’s do this thing.” lscafid2@dailyillini.com

Campus works toward environmental sustainability BY MICHAEL SEMACA STAFF WRITER
Many University aren’t aware of all the environmental stability practices on campus. The University keeps winning award after award for being green. It was ranked in the Top 50 green colleges by the Princeton Review, earned a Gold Level by the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System and was named a Tree Campus
USA just two weeks ago. A major part of this success has been due to the Student Sustainability Committee. The committee consists of 12 students who look over green proposals and vote on which should be implemented by the University based on how beneficial they would be. The committee gets its revenue from two student green fees that total to over $1.1 million at around $14 per student. This makes it

one of the largest sustainability funds in the country. Students like committee chair Paul Couston have been hard at work considering what proposals to vote on this semester. The committee has had more proposals than ever this year, making it the most competitive cycle ever. “It really is amazing, with the budget we have, what we’re able to accomplish and the innovation the students and faculty have on campus
… It’s really inspiring to see how passionate students are about sustainability,” Couston said. While Couston couldn’t go into detail about the projects committee is considering currently, he did say they range from geothermal projects, to putting more recycling bins around campus and even to installing solar panels on buildings.

GREEN and the rest of committee do to help sustainability, Couston believes that the general student population doesn’t even realize how green the campus truly is. “You never really hear about the sustainability part of U of I,” he said. “And seeing that we have one of the biggest green funds in the nation, I definitely think that’s something that not only our campus, but admissions and all of our administration should take pride in.” By far one of the most visible sustainability projects is the Electrical and Computer Engineering building on the North Quad. According to ECE building Director of Facilities Tim Newman, the building was designed to have a “net zero” impact on campus energy. “Basically, all energy that’s being used in the building is actually being generated onsite and hopefully pushing it back into
the grid for the University,” Newman said. However, the building hasn’t achieved that goal, at least not yet. Due to the state budget impasse, the ECE department’s state funding got pulled and has been unable to install all the solar panels needed to make the building truly net zero. “We have over 500 panels right now, but they’re all located in boxes in the basement waiting for the structure to go up,” Newman said. The project is moving forward without state funding, however. A combination of University, departmental and committee funding will end up installing the panels on the roof of the building as well as on the north campus garage. These two systems will work together to generate 55 percent of the energy needed to power the building. Another unique aspect of the ECE building is its ability to easily measure how much electricity and water is being used.

“With this being the ECE department, (these measurements become) realtime research data that helps to perfect the system down the road, and that students and faculty can use within their classrooms and projects to hopefully then go, ‘how can we do this better?’” Newman said. One of the lesser known sustainability projects is the solar farm located southwest of campus. At 20.8 acres, the solar farm is the largest array on any Big Ten campus and generates around two percent of campus electricity annually. According to campus Sustainability Coordinator Morgan Johnston, the farm is just the first step in a larger goal to increase solar energy generation on campus. “The 2020 goal is to produce five percent of our electricity demand from on campus solar,” Johnston said. “With the solar farm, we’re starting to produce significant amounts ourselves.” The campus still has a
long way to go to reach that goal; Johnston said that solar electricity generation was less than a tenth of a percent last year. “We’re just starting; we set the goal in October 2015,” Johnston said. “We do have the capacity to retrofit existing campus buildings with solar, but we need to do some engineering design work and we need to pay for the installations, which costs money.” Johnston and her team are seeking funding from the committee for this purpose, one of the many proposals the committee will be deciding whether to fund. Couston is excited to see where this project, along with the many other committees, will be considering, brings the campus sustainability-wise. “I really do see the University of Illinois being a leader in the green world,” he said. “And really just showing the nation what we can do and what other schools and the country should be doing as well.”

Prince lives on through his music and wealth BY RYAN FAUGHNDER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
By any measure, Prince was rock star royalty. That includes his wealth. The prolific musician leaves behind a vast legacy of genre-bending albums and gender-bending fashion statements and an estate said to be worth about $300 million, making
him one of the most valuable entertainers in the world. It’s still unclear who will end up inheriting the singer-guitarist’s fortune. Whoever takes control stands to benefit handsomely from a song library, including hits such as “1999” and “When Doves Cry,” that is only expected to soar in value

in the years ahead. Prince, who died Thursday at 57, is poised to join a rarefied field of singersongwriter artists such as Michael Jackson, John Lennon and Bob Marley, who continue to make money well after their deaths. The purple-clad songwriter’s wealth includes more than just music and his years of concert ticket sales. His Minnesota compound Paisley Park, where he recorded music and hosted parties, is worth millions. And the Prince name and image are likely to fetch significant licensing income, experts said. However, Prince’s music is expected to remain the cornerstone of his estate and one that he defended closely as digital shifts turned the recording industry upside down. Then there’s the potential windfall from the famed “vault”
within the dorms. “We have an inclusiveness statement which really highlights the focus and the support for students whether that be based around age, ability, race or identity,” Frankovich said.

believe the bill will be passed because of the overwhelmingly democratic Statehouse. “An all-gender bathroom really means that we don’t have to worry about being beaten up in a bathroom when we’re just trying to go and pee,” Skora said. In fact, 64 percent of transgender people will experience sexual assault in their lifetime, according to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Center for Transgender Equality. And according to a study from the Anti-Violence Project, trans people of color are actually 1.8 times more likely to experience sexual violence. The University implemented all-gender housing for Allen Hall in the fall of 2015. This means that Allen offers in-room coed living arrangements, and the Allen 1 North wing bathroom is gender-inclusive. There were several modifications made to the bathroom to insure more privacy, including taller doors. There have been no reports of sexual violence

Since the “bathroom bill,” or HB2, passed in North Carolina last month, transgender communities nationwide have stood in opposition of the law. The law makes it illegal for transgender individuals in North Carolina cities to use the bathroom of the sex they identify with. While the law might feel like one step backward for the trans community, HB2 has made trans-friendly bathrooms a national issue. The issue of trans-friendly bathrooms has extended to the Illinois government. HB4474, also referred to as the “bathroom bill” in Illinois, is currently being considered in the statehouse. The bill was introduced by House Republican Thomas Morrison in January. If passed, the law would require all public schools to designate all restrooms, changing rooms and overnight facilities as accessible to only one sex and based on one’s biological. Stephanie Skora, the former president of The Cam-
pus Union for Trans Equality and Support, said this leaves many thinking, ‘Are we doing enough?’ Skora said the answer is “no.” “A trans-friendly campus doesn’t really exist,” Skora said. “While we have good administrative policies and we have good resources for trans students, like expanding all-gender bathrooms, trans-inclusive healthcare and some all-gender housing options, the campus culture is still terrible for trans people” Many who support the Illinois bill point to the fact that gender-neutral bathrooms could lead to an increase in sexual violence. However, there are no reported cases of sexual misconduct by transgendered people in public bathrooms. “If these laws are being passed to prevent cisgendered men from going into bathrooms and preying on women and pretending to be trans people, they can do that anyway whether or not these laws happen,” Skora said. Skora said she does not
of unreleased material housed at Paisley Park. “There’s tremendous value there,” said Martin Neumann, an estate planning lawyer and partner at the Los Angeles firm Weinstock Manion. “For someone like Prince who’s been around for so long, obviously the value of his catalog will increase after his death, significantly more so than for other people.” As Prince’s kingly worth shows, those who own their copyrighted work can build sizable levels of wealth. Ownership of an enduring song catalog by artists such as U2 and Billy Joel can produce steady, robust income streams that other entertainers, such as Hollywood actors, often can’t rely on. Only a select group of actor-producers, including Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, are said to be worth more.
The University is considering laying off civil service employees on campus by August. Elyne Cole, associate provost for human resources, sent an email to department heads Monday night informing them of the possible layoffs. A detailed plan of action was listed with key dates. “As you know, our university still lacks a fiscal year 2016 appropriation from the State of Illinois. We also face significant uncertainty about the status and timing of an FY 2017 appropriation,” she wrote. “However, all campus units must still plan and make preparations as best they can for the next academic year.” An employment elimination period was implemented to lessen the number of affected civil servants, Cole wrote. “A position elimination period puts selected controls on hiring activity so that we can better manage bumping activity and match employees whose positions are being eliminated to current opportunities on the

EMERGENCY The measure is insufficient as a total funding commitment for fiscal 2016, providing $180 million for the University — compared with $647 million for fiscal year 2015, Killeen said. “The U of I may be forced to make additional significant reductions in faculty, staff, academic offerings, student programs, economic development initiatives and public service if it does not receive more than the 27.8 percent of last year’s appropriation that is provided in the stop-gap bill,” he said. Killeen also mentioned in his statement how funding is lower for the University of Illinois hospital as well as the statewide MAP grants. “We strongly urge the governor, legislative leaders and rank-and-file lawmakers of both parties to continue to work on a comprehensive budget for fiscal 2016 that includes levels for higher education closer to the level seen in fiscal 2015,” Killeen said. Governor Rauner commended legislators for reaching a decision together for the emergency funding, after they “put aside political differences,” in a statement issued by his spokesperson. The funding is meant to provide emergency assistance for higher education, ensuring universities and community colleges remain open and low-income students can pay for school,
campus,” she wrote. However, according to the timeline, August 27 is when the positions eliminated would take effect. “There’s no definitive decision making when it comes to civil service employees,” said Robin Kaler, campus spokeswoman. “It’s a planning document. Those decisions are made at the departmental level. The planning document is sent to those departments to say, ‘Are you planning to eliminate any civil service positions? If so, let the central campus know.’” Kaler said if there are layoffs, central campus can then use the “bumping rights” provision to civil service to prevent the loss of a job. For example, if someone in one unit is being laid off but another unit is looking to hire in the next couple of months, the University will try to coordinate and not have that person lose their job with the University, she said. “We’ve been looking at what we need to do for a long time,” Kaler said. “We’re 10 months into the budget, we’re about to start a new budget year and we have to go in and start determining how we’re going to move forward.”
news@dailyillini.com the statement said. Those dollars will allow the state to immediately pay student MAP grants and work closely with universities and community colleges to ensure they have the resources they need to avoid further cuts and closings, said Illinois State Comptroller Leslie Munger in a statement. “It is heartening that the Governor and legislative leaders have come together to authorize funding,” she said. “I have directed my staff to begin processing payments immediately, giving top priority to students and the institutions that are suffering the most.” If Rauner signs the legislation, the state will continue disbursing funds as they become available, with final payments released in July. “Our students and schools have paid a heavy price for this budget impasse, and we will do everything possible to provide long-overdue relief,” Munger said. Currently, the state has gone nearly 10 months without a budget for fiscal year 2015-2016 and there are only 67 days until the next fiscal year. “Time will tell if Governor Rauner has further intentions of destroying our state institutions and human service providers, or if he will begin working with us to craft a full-year budget that is not contingent on passage of his demands that will destroy the middle class,” said House Speaker Michael Madigan.

War on political correctness expands past media ISABELLA WINKLER Opinions columnist
T
he term “politically correct” has taken on a new weight recently, with its actual usage and meaning being manipulated by social media. It seems like everyone is blowing the politically correct whistle after every news story or headline airs, but their motives are justified when it comes to recent events. In the latest instance of the war on political correctness, Curt Schilling, former All-Star pitcher and ESPN analyst, was fired this past Wednesday after the latest in a series of offensive social media posts. His two cents on the anti-transgender North
Carolina bathroom legislation ultimately cut the cord: “A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.” This isn’t his first time showcasing his offensive opinions on social media. Between a picture comparing Muslims to Nazis and suggesting Hillary Clinton be “buried under a jail somewhere,” Schilling is no stranger to insensitivity. Inevitably, Schilling’s unemployment brings up everyone’s favorite topic: political correctness. “To be in a place where people actually believe I’m a racist or I’m transphobic says to me that something has gone horribly askew
somewhere,” he said on WEEI. As if it’s so crazy to think that a man denying an entire population of their preferred identities is maybe the least bit problematic. His political correctness defense came in the form of trivializing his own comments: “I made a comment about the basic functionality of men’s and women’s restrooms, period,” he said. Denying the implications of his offensive remarks places Schilling in bad company. People in the spotlight who have come under fire for similar comments employ similar tactics. Last October Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee made it clear on Twitter that he “trusts Bernie Sanders with (his) tax dollars just as much as a Korean chef with (his) dog.” When he was called
out for the remark, he used the political correctness red herring to instead direct focus toward the sensitivity of leftist wussies. If you read any comment section under nearly any article ever, you will find people talking about how frustrating it is to live in a world where you have to tiptoe around millennials’ feelings. But their fallacious thinking fails to see a middle ground: there’s a difference between being politically correct and not being a jerk. The war against political correctness has come to a point where people go out of their ways to offend others, just to turn the tables and blame them for getting offended. The latest chalking incidents on campus epitomize this phenomenon. When students wrote messag-
es outside the University’s Latino cultural house such as “Build the wall” and “Send them back” some comments on The Daily Illini’s coverage of the event included “fighting the plague of political correctness” and pitying the kids who were silly enough to feel threatened by the messages. The chalk comments were of course reduced to simple Donald Trump support or expression of political opinions. Many ignored that the chalkers were blatantly victimizing a certain group of people, only to ridicule said group for being offended, as if the placement of the chalking was completely coincidental and the comments were a simple matter of political debate. The paradoxical web of bigoted thinking is hard to keep up with, but the
takeaway is just that — the efforts to combat the so-called “plague of political correctness” are an illogical attempt to avoid basic human compassion for whatever reason. Unfortunately, this fight isn’t just being fought on social media. It’s being taken to places where the effects have never been so obvious. When students with real feelings are being affected by the threatening messages or a marginalized demographic is being targeted via legislation, the problem becomes greater than political correctness. Being politically correct isn’t about silencing opposing viewpoints. It’s about being a decent person — and at virtually no expense.

Students should take advantage of free time, venture off campus ALEX COCANIG Opinions columnist
T
he end of spring semester is approaching and for many students at the University, this means it’s time to buckle down and write those term papers or finish that group project you’ve been putting off since February. But the end of the semester also brings gorgeous weather to campus and the urge to go out and do something fun is evermore present for many students, especially those who will be graduating in a matter of weeks and want to live it up during their final days. Students should take advantage of what free time they do have by venturing off campus and exploring what the surrounding areas have to offer in terms of local food, nightlife, entertainment and scenery that isn’t on campus. Of course, there’s nothing like a wildly intoxicating Friday or Saturday night at Red Lion followed by a slice or two of Antonio’s Pizza as you stumble
down Green Street; however, Champaign-Urbana has much more to offer than these go-to, classic campus establishments. There exists two places called downtown Champaign and downtown Urbana, located just northwest and northeast of campus, respectively. Both are utopias of quality food and hygienic, mature nightlife, with a variety of other shops, theaters, parks and scenery. In downtown Champaign, for instance, one can enjoy easily one of the best burgers in the area at Farren’s, splurge on some Nando Milano that rivals some of Chicago’s better Italian fare, as well as KoFusion’s upscale, off-campus location.Wash all this superior-than-campus food down with a craft beer from the Blind Pig or a cocktail from Seven Saints — neither of them have a cover charge. Downtown Urbana offers a similarly unique, but not as high-end food scene. The original Black Dog is on Race Street and serves up, without a doubt, the best barbeque in the Champaign-Urbana area, but beware as a
KoFusion is one of the great places students can eat at in downtown Champaign. lot of students have done their barbeque homework and the wait times can be long. Not far from there you can get a decent breakfast at the Courier Cafe, or some solid pad Thai at Siam Terrace. Urbana also has a picturesque historic district, is charmingly artsy and provides a fairly quiet, but interesting oasis from
campus life. Getting to either of these places is one reason many students might not go; however, they are very accessible with a little effort and easy to navigate with any trusty maps app. Depending on where you live, they’re a 10-20 minute walk or a short, free ride on several CUMTD buses, namely
the evening yellow, green or silver among others during the daytime. Cost is also a significant factor when it comes to any student’s goingout budget. While campus food and bars are generally cheaper, downtown Champaign and downtown Urbana offer better quality consumables and a hygienic, more sophis-

Illinois
is the only state in the Union that hasn’t passed a state budget and people are watching, especially students. High school students who are considering where they want to go to college see what’s going on in their state. Schools like Eastern Illinois and Chicago State will suffer because of the state’s lack of action. In February, Chicago State sent layoff notices to 900 employees. Even if full funding was approved
on Friday — which it was not — most of those employees have probably found other jobs. And those who haven’t would probably not be confident in returning to the school, or any state job for that matter. Why would a student choose to go to either of those schools when they don’t know what the school’s future will hold in the next year? Maybe those billboards down I-57 do make sense — maybe Indiana is a better op-
tion. With the current funding, 5,667 students on the Urbana campus have peace of mind knowing they won’t need to pay back the MAP grants they received for the 2015-2016 school year. And we’re happy for them. But what about the next year? And what about the University employees who could potentially be laid off in August? Though the University finally received a little of what it expected, it’s not enough
to keep things running smoothly. President Timothy Killeen said the $180 million that will be allocated to the University is “insufficient,” as the University received $647 million in funding for fiscal year 2015. Nearly 11 months into the fiscal year, the state government has still not completely fulfilled one of its main obligations. So congrats on your great work. Here’s to another year of stalemates and half-measures.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Faculty members: Administration doesn’t value teaching “Multi-year contracts should be awarded based on performance, evaluation and merit...” That’s the position of our Non-Tenure Faculty Coalition, trying to negotiate a contract with the University administration. Who could disagree with that commonsense way to encourage good teaching and build the morale of good teachers? Yet the quote is not from our union, but from Inter-
im Chancellor Barbara Wilson, who goes on to say the contracts should not be “centrally mandated and automatically granted based on the amount of time someone has worked here.” That makes it sound like the union is asking for automatic contracts, which just isn’t true. In fact, the University negotiators rejected our union’s request for a mandated right to be evaluated!
For most students, who understand the importance of evaluations despite their unpleasant consequences for poor performers, this must all sound impossibly backward. Why does the union want evaluations? Even stranger, why would the administration refuse to give them, and then pretend to students that the situation was reversed? This weird situation does make sense, howev-
er, in the context of a labor negotiation. The message of the University in refusing to guarantee the right of teachers to be evaluated was simple: “Teachers? We don’t think your work is even worth evaluating.” That doesn’t make any sense educationally but it sure sends a strong message at the start of labor negotiations, where other issues (contract lengths, etc.) remain to discuss.
Of course, it’s not smart to tell students, their parents and legislators that the administration values teaching too little to even evaluate it. So the public message is the opposite. Which is the true message? Based on a variety of experiences, students themselves probably have the best sense of where on the spectrum from indifference to concern the administration’s real atti-
tude lies. We think it varies from department to department. Our union’s attitude is clear. We think teaching, our life’s work, is important. We want it to be valued and respected, and we want to take the risks involved in evaluations as a step in that direction. Ellen Fireman is a Statistics senior lecturer.

Earth Week clothing swap fosters awareness BY MARIA RUBIN DE CELIS STAFF WRITER
Racks of hanging clothes dangled at the University YMCA last Thursday, April 21. Students buzzed from rack to rack, scouring the collection of donated clothing and searching for recycled items to take home. Some like Jackie Genova left satisfied with new treasures. “Look at this sweet jacket that somebody got rid of … like who would donate this?” said Genova, senior in LAS. The fi nd to which Genova was referring was a gray fleece jacket that was found at the Students for Environmental Concerns annual clothing swap. The clothing swap is an event created to promote sustainability during Earth Week by promoting recycling and reusing clothes. “Basically how it works is you can bring a bag of clothes you want to donate, and in exchange, you can take the same number of items from the clothing swap,” said Genova, who is also an officer in SECS. Rather than simply donat-
ing clothing, students are encouraged to reuse other peoples’ old items in an effort to reduce resources associated with buying brand-new clothes. People who didn’t get a chance to donate clothes could then purchase items for as little as $1. The clothing swap has been around for a couple years and took a lot of time and preparation leading up to it. The swap itself also needed careful attention because of the popularity of the event. “It’s usually one of the bigger Earth Week events … it’s one of our main events that takes the most time to prepare for,” said Catherine Yee, sophomore in LAS and Earth Week co-chair for SECS. Yee was involved in preparing for the event and started collecting donations about three weeks prior to the clothing swap to ensure a large selection on the day of the swap. “It’s a lot of manual labor … taking the clothes and then carrying them back

C-U rallies around local food trucks BY SAM SMITHSON BUZZ FOOD AND DRINK EDITOR
Urbana’s first Food Truck Rally of the season is coming up on Tuesday and it’s fixing to be a hit. The Food Truck Rally begins at 11 a.m. at the Urbana Civic Center (108 E. Water Street) and runs until 2 p.m. Following the widespread success last year, when many of the trucks ran out of food, 2016 is already shaping up to be another exciting year for local food truck fans. The Rally’s organizer, Sterling Bollman, shared his motivations behind bringing this series back for another year. “Right now, food trucks are a huge movement in our culture. Everyone’s looking for the newest dining experience and food trucks are a fun experience for most people,” said Bollman. “After having a successful first year last year, I’m really hoping that we can get more people coming out to the event and get some increased exposure for the individuals that run the trucks. This is a really fun event that gives people the opportunity to get out of the office for a bit and enjoy the weather and some quality food.” The Food Truck Rally highlights local businesses and gives the community an opportunity to try local cuisine of all types, including Mexican, BBQ, Italian and more.
Among the food trucks participating in Tuesday’s inaugural rally is The Pop Stop. Founded by brothers Matthew Dick and Barrett Kendall, The Pop Stop is a local truck that specializes in gourmet popsicles. “We are very excited to work with Urbana on the Food Truck Rally,” The Pop Stop said in a statement to Buzz. “They are wonderful hosts and always welcoming to mobile food businesses. As with all their events, we are looking forward to a fun and inviting atmosphere filled with great food and even better people.” With so many options, and so much excitement from both trucks and customers, this year's series is sure to be a smash hit. This first rally will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Urbana Civic Center, rain or shine. Subsequent installments in the Food Truck Rally series will be held on the last Tuesday of every month until October.

to the University YMCA … where we sort through all of them,” she said. Yee said the hard work was all worth it, and the swap was a success at raising awareness for environmental sustainability. This event highlights the recent success of SECS and their passion on campus for addressing environmental issues. This year, their passion earned them the title of Outstanding Student Program of the Year, an award given to them by the YMCA. “SECS is one of our strongest groups,” said Kasey Umland, associate director and student programs adviser for the University YMCA. Umland helps SECS, along with other student programs, connect with the resources they need to thrive in wherever their passions lead them. For the swap, Umland said SECS did a great job organizing and executing the event. Though Umland gave advice and was present in case the organization needed help, she was proud to be able to step back and watch
the student leaders flourish. “Seeing that growth and development of students as leaders who are smart and competent and passionate is really energizing,” Umland said. Umland said she is
encouraged about the future of SECS and the students involved in it. To her and the students involved, the clothing swap was a successful gesture that raised environmental awareness and developed leaders.
“The students who are planning 'Clothing Swap' today, could be (influential) 40 years from now,” Umland said, “You can really see the impact.”

Fab Lab integrates UI campus BY CLAIRE CRONIN STAFF WRITER
The second-oldest building on campus, which once served as a horse barn, is now home to a laser engraver, 3D printers and electronic cutters as part of the Champaign-Urbana Community Fabrication Lab. Fab Labs are a global network of local laboratories that enable innovation within a community by providing access to modern means for invention. What started in a classroom as an educational outreach component of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s research into digital fabrication and computation, the Fab Lab organization has rapidly spread all over the world. “The class was about making anything you could imagine,” said Jeff Ginger, the director of the ChampaignUrbana Community Fab Lab. Ginger explained that Fab Labs are a community resource that are intended to reach a diverse group of individuals, not just one certain group. The Fab Lab is available to University staff, faculty and students full-time. Younger students or groups of people, including elderly groups, can register for summer camps and workshops held at the lab. Summer camps at Fab Lab are designed to integrate the community into upgraded technological advancements. One summer camp in particular teaches students how to sew their own backpacks that are capable of charging
their cellphones. “It’s probably more artistic individuals than anything else,” Ginger said. “It’s a really cool network of people.” While a lot of individuals use the lab for their studies or an educational project, most people take to the lab to create and further their passions. Duncan Baird, senior in Engineering, works at the lab part-time and is one of the individuals who came to the lab with a personal interest. “I’m really into costumes and making costumes in general,” Baird said. “I actually found the Fab Lab because I was looking
for a sewing machine on campus.” Fab Labs nationwide share core capabilities and assistance to allow individuals to create almost anything and to share and spread those ideas. Holly Brown, a full-time lab assistant and instructor, was studying Technical Systems Management with a minor in Informatics when she found the lab through a class in her minor. “I really wanted a major with more hands-on work with tools,” Brown said. “Making is what I really, really like to do.” She said she first came to the Fab Lab two and a half years ago, and when she
heard they were hiring, she knew it was something she had to do. The Fab Lab is among other institutions in Illinois that are suffering due to the budget crisis, but Brown said she doesn’t see herself leaving. “Regardless of if we’re paid or not, I would love to stay here,” she said. “It’s such a unique and great environment.” Brown is hopeful that the Fab Lab organization will continue to spread and grow, as well as inspire. “It’s very special and I’m hoping that more companies will adopt this model in the future,” she said.

Inside look at a cappella groups on campus BY RACHEL LENOCI CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Barden Bellas from Pitch Perfect are not the only a cappella group around. A cappella is on the rise due to reality TV shows like Sing It On. The University is home to nine a cappella groups. Ranging from all-female to all-male and even co-ed, each group’s type and dynamics all vary. A few group members gave insight into what their a cappella groups are all about.
No Comment No Comment is a nationally ranked, co-ed a cappella group that was formed in 2004. “With a co-ed group, you get both ends of the spectrum,” said Micah Tryba, soon-to-be graduate student in Veterinary Medicine and fourth-year member of No Comment. “You get the super-low voices in the men and the super-high voices in the girls, and that just comes out to a really, what I think, is a fuller sound.” No Comment is competition-focused, and in recent years has succeeded at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella, otherwise known as ICCA. “We’ve had a lot of success
at ICCA, and ... I think we put a little more stock into ICCA than some of the other groups do,” Tryba said. Similar to other groups on campus, No Comment covers a wide range of music genres. “We’ve done everything
“It really is a huge community, and everyone is very supportive of each other.” SARAH SANDBERG
MEMBER OF THE RIP CHORDS
from Country to EDM,” Tryba said. “The majority of our stuff is pop-based, and we also are known, more so than other groups, for throwing in a musical piece every year.” Tryba said her favorite thing about No Comment is the friends she has made. “They’ll all be at my wedding; they’re just my best friends.”
Rip Chords The Rip Chords is an allfemale a cappella group that
was founded at the University in 1992. Despite what Pitch Perfect may stereotype about all-female a cappella groups, the Rip Chords are different. “We choose songs that are not necessarily as girly as you might think for an allfemale a cappella group,” said Sarah Sandberg, alumna and third-year Rip Chords member. “We wear leather and black and boots and want to show people we’re not just girly girls.” Like No Comment, Xtension Chords and a few other a cappella groups on campus, Rip Chords participate in ICCA; however, they are the only all-female group from the University to attend. “This year, we won our quarter-final and got to advance to semi-finals in Chicago, which is a huge deal because it’s pretty uncommon for all-female groups to advance,” Sandberg said. Sandberg added that combining her passion for singing and getting to perform with her favorite group of people is her favorite aspect of being a part of the Rip Chords.
Xtension Chords The Xtension Chords is
A cappella group, No Comment, performs an arranged piece. an all-male a cappella group that has been singing around campus since 1992. Michael Kim, junior in Engineering and secondyear member of the Xtension Chords, said the high-energy, entertaining and funny performances are what made him want to join this group. Singing a wide variety of songs, the Xtension Chords take more of a modern approach on a cappella, rather than a contemporary
approach that other groups on campus such as The Other Guys do. Although their take on a cappella may be different than others, the groups do all have one thing in common. “I think we all try to entertain the audience,” Kim said. “All of our styles are very different and unique, but at the end of the day, we’re all supporting each other.” In the end, the a cappella groups take their passions

for singing to provide entertainment to those around them. The different groups even get together for events such as a cappella barn dances and “Aca-formal.” “It really is a huge community, and everyone is very supportive of each other, so we like to see each other outside of rehearsal where there may not be that competition element,” Sandberg said.

Huge third round leads to conference title BY RYAN WILSON STAFF WRITER
After the second round of the Big Ten championships in Newburgh, Indiana, Illinois men’s golf head coach Mike Small called a teamonly meeting by a driving range on the side of the course — far separated from all the action. The Illini were 7-over-par in that second round, falling eight strokes behind the leader and fi nishing in third for the day. “The look we had leaving the golf course was not our team,” Small said. “The way we handled adversity was not our team, and we had to get back to who we were.” This 45-minute meeting was, as Small called it, a “gut check.” But the meeting paid off and Illinois shot a courserecord 24-under in the fi nal round Sunday to take home its seventh title in the last eight years at the Victoria National Golf Club. Senior Thomas Detry won the individual title with Charlie Danielson coming in second. Assistant coach Zach Barlow said every member of the team voiced their opinions at the meeting to get on the same page. “It’s a position we’re not used to being in,” Detry said. “Instead of leading the last couple of years, we’re actually chasing, and that’s why we told each other yesterday we got to embrace and have fun. I think everybody had fun on the course today.” Small said the team woke up the next morning focused. But before the recordbreaking third round, the Illini started the tournament strong only to fall behind in the second round. In that round, Dylan Meyer bogeyed and double bogeyed his fi rst two holes, and Eduardo Lipparelli did

All of the players, except Danielson, had more bogeys than birdies on the front nine. Danielson had two birdies and bogeys. Lipparelli and Hardy continued the streak of having more bogeys than birdies, but this time they had a birdie-free back nine. Danielson made a birdie on 10 and 13. Two holes later, he fell under a spell of bogeys.
Da nielson double bogeyed 15 and 16 which were two holes the entire team struggled with all day. Finishing third prompted the driving range chat and a much stronger Illini return that resulted in the tournament win. Hardy and Detry opened the fi nal round 3-under and 5-under, respectively, after the fi rst four holes. Detry’s shot off the tee landed around 60 yards
away. His next shot brought him within 10 feet of the hole for an eagle on the third hole. “That was pretty cool,” said Detry, who went 4-under before the turn. Danielson birdied fi ve holes in his front nine. The latter half of round three saw even more birdies and fewer bogeys for Illinois. Ha rdy made fourstraight on the 10th through

Freshmen step up to the plate for an Illinois win
BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER
Sunday’s rubber match against Ohio State showed more than a glimpse into the bright future for Illinois baseball when the Illini freshmen took over the game from the start.
Freshman Cole Bellair opened up the game, needing only 10 pitches to get out of the top of the fi rst. He went seven and one third innings, giving up only one run on five hits The Illini (20-17, 6-6 Big Ten) beat the Buckeyes (25-
13-1, 5-7 Big Ten) 5-3 on their way to picking up their first conference series win since the Big Ten opener. Head coach Dan Hartleb made some changes to his lineup for Sunday’s game. He kept freshman Jack Yalowitz in the lead-off spot,
but moved freshman Doran Turchin to the second spot. The move paid off. Turchin tripled and scored Yalowitz in the bottom of the fi rst, giving the Illini the lead for good. “I was really pleased with how our freshman compet-

ed,” Hartleb. “We got a great start out of Cole Bellair. He was in command and composed the whole time. If you looked at what happened with (Yalowitz and Turchin) in the first inning it was very productive. It was freshmen day in the ballpark.” The Illini put the game away when right fielder Yalowitz came to the plate in the seventh inning with the bases loaded. Yalowitz roped a line drive to rightcenter that one-hopped off the wall, clearing the bases and put the Illini up 5-1. “I was sitting on a change up, because he kept throwing me change ups,” Yalowitz said. “At 2-1 he threw me changeup again. I sat on it well and I got the barrel on it.” Head coach Dan Hartleb used three relievers to close out the Buckeyes. After lefty Nielsen gave up a run in the eighth, Chuck Naso entered the game. After starting off a little wild, Naso cooled down to record the last out of the eighth inning. Nick Blackburn headed to the mound in the ninth for the save. He struggled early, giving up a home run to Ohio State’s Craig Nennig. Two hits later and the Buckeye’s had runners on second and third with only one out. Blackburn eventually settled in, picking up the fi nal two outs and stranding two
Buckeyes on base. Hartleb said he never thought to take Blackburn out of the game. “Nick deserves to be in that situation,” Hartleb said. “He is a senior and he needs to get his job done. He did a really good job staying composed and still went out and got it done.” The only answers Ohio State had for the Illini pitching staff came in the form of junior Ronnie Dawson — the left fielder went 2-for-4 with two RBIs. An opposite field jack from Dawson put the Buckeye’s on the board in the sixth. Then a double in the eighth off Nielsen scored Troy Montgomery from first. Nennig’s homerun was too late for the Buckeye’s. The Illini now sit at .500 in the conference – they sit in the middle of the pack. Hartleb was very happy with his team’s effort after the game. “It was huge,” Hartleb said. “What you don’t realize a lot of the time is when you lose a game, you are really losing two games – one in the win column and one in the loss column. You have to battle to do a good job to make sure we get into the Big Ten Tournament. Then anything can happen in the championship rounds.”

WOMEN’S TENNIS
Kwong,Vias lead the way in weekend series split BY TIM GRIFFIN STAFF WRITER
JUSTIN WOLFE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois Ines Vias returns the ball during the match against Michigan State at the Atkins Tennis Center on Friday.
The Illinois women’s tennis team closed out its spring regular season with a face-off against Big Ten foes Michigan State and Michigan. The Illini began the weekend with a 4-3 defeat of the Spartans at the Atkins Tennis Center. This was the Illini’s first victory over Michigan State since 2002-2003, giving Michigan State its sixth loss in Big Ten play. Illinois continued its strong doubles play, taking the opening doubles tally for the 17th time this season. Freshman duo Daniela Pedraza Novak and Jaclyn Switkes were first to finish with a 6-0 win over counterparts Athena Trouillot and Davina Nguyen. The Spartans then evened the doubles scoring, with Illini
Madie Baillon and Jerricka Boone recording a 6-3 loss. The doubles tally came down to the Illini’s top duo: Louise Kwong and Ines Vias. The pair took down Erin Faulkner and Allie Baer 6-4 to snag the tally and give the Illini a 1-0 lead. This was Kwong and Vias’ 23rd career win playing together. Pedraza Novak got Illinois rolling, winning quickly in singles and giving Illinois a 2-0 lead. The Spartans came storming back, tying the score at two. But Kwong and Vias were able to step up for the Illini, both snagging singles victories and giving the team its 14th win of the season, tying the Illini’s win total from last year. This also gave the Illini their 8th win in Big Ten action, improving on their 6-5 Big Ten record from
2015. The Illini then traveled to Ann Arbor on Sunday for a matchup against the No. 10 Wolverines. Michigan redeemed itself after suffering a tough loss to Northwestern on Friday. The Wolverines downed the Illini, 4-0. This improved Michigan to a 10-1 record in the Big Ten and gave the Wolverines their 18th victory of the spring. The Wolverines are tied for second in Big Ten standings with the Northwestern Wildcats. The Illini closed out the spring regular season with a 14-8 record. The team finished Big Ten play 8-3 and sit at fourth in the Big Ten standings. The Illini will play on Friday and take on the No. 5 seed Maryland Terrapins. If the Illini are victorious in that matchup, they would then play again Saturday,
most likely against the Ohio State Buckeyes, who pounded the Illini 7-0 earlier this year.

MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD
Viney records first place finish at Illinois Twilight Meet BY WILL MOST STAFF WRITER
In a season full of ups, downs and lots of travel, the Illinois men’s track team had a feel-good moment at its home meet, taking first place. Illinois thrived in its competitions with the sprint and hurdlers unit leading the charge, claiming a majority of the team’s titles. Senior Cam Viney took first place in both hurdle races he competed in, as well as being an anchor for the first-place 4x400-meter relay team. Head coach Mike Turk, who had been disappointed in Viney’s performances early in the season, expressed that he had made improvements coming off injury.
“It was a big factor to have him back,” said Turk. “He will afford us an opportunity to move that relay forward and start dropping some time.” Freshman Devin Quinn also finished first in the 200-meter race, winning his first outdoor collegiate race. The weekend also served as a showcase for those who haven’t competed very much for the Illini this season. Many Illini athletes competing unattached performed well. All-American Dave Kendziera competed with fellow teammate Viney in the hurdles, and AllAmerican Jonathan Wells showcased some of the events he’s been practicing in his redshirt season. Wells competed in a vari-
ety of events in preparation for his time as a decathlete, from pole vault to javelin. While Wells met many of the standards Turk set for him during the weekend, Wells wanted a bit more from himself. “I didn’t have an optimal weekend,” Wells said. “I had some sickness and a recent injury, but considering I was dealing with that stuff, it was a good weekend.” Other young athletes performed well, particularly those in the distance unit. True freshman Caleb Hummer ran an impressive steeplechase time, considering that it was his first time competing in the event. Jesse Reiser ran a time of 3:45.15 in the 1500 meters that impressed his team-
mates and coaches alike. Freshman Zach Dale was not to be outdone, posting a time in the 5000 meters that indicates he could also be a big part of Illinois’ future success in long distance events. The Illini have only two more events until the Big Ten championship: the Drake Relays and the Illini Open. Turk is especially optimistic about the stretch ahead of him, particularly the Drake Relays. “Going into Drake Relays, it gives us an opportunity to do something that we really need to do,” Turk said. “We need to bring our team closer together coming into this championship season.”

Wonderly carries team to series win in Wisconsin BY DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER
BRIAN BAUER THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Breanna Wonderly throws to first in the game against Rutgers at Eichelberger Field on April 3.
Wonderly pitched a shutout, limiting Wisconsin to only four hits and a walk. Wisconsin has not won the series against Illinois since the 2014 season, where Illinois was swept and limited to only seven runs in the three games. Up next for Illinois is another conference series versus the Iowa Hawkeyes. This season, Iowa ranks near the bottom of the Big Ten with a 13-32 overall record, and a 3-14 conference record. The series will be one of the few that take place at home for the Illini. This should prove to be beneficial as the Hawkeyes are only 1-13 away from their home diamond.

another in the third to put the game away. In five of the seven innings, the Illini were able to put the leadoff runner on base. However, the lack of timely hitting from the team proved to be its downfall. Perry applauded her battle-tested starting pitcher for once again giving her team a chance to win, acknowledging that the lack of hitting when it mattered is what decided the game. “Wonderly was working through adversity out there, but we could not get that timely hit to help her out,” Perry said. “We need to come out strong tomorrow and be ready to battle for that series win.” In the final match of the series, Illinois needed only one run to beat Wisconsin.

Another series win, another three-straight starts for pitcher Breanna Wonderly. After receiving a break in last Wednesday’s home matchup against Eastern Illinois, Wonderly was back on the mound to give her team its second-consecutive series victory versus a conference opponent, with the Illini taking two of three games from the Badgers. Wonderly has started seven of her teams past nine games. In the seven games in which she has started, the Illini have gone 4-3, facing Big Ten opponents. Illinois began the series winning a close game on the Badgers’ home field, squeezing past Wisconsin 4-3. The Illini were aided by a late
seventh-inning run and two costly errors by the Badgers. Head coach Tyra Perry admitted that the series was not going to be an easy one, and that she was proud of her squad for coming out and starting out strong. “It was another hardfought win today,” Perry said. “I am extremely proud of the team and the way they supported each other today. It was a great start to what is going to be a tough series. We have to come out tomorrow ready to battle.” Missed opportunities were the theme for game two. The Illini out-hit the Badgers, but still came up short. Illinois was not able to build any momentum after Wisconsin put up three runs in the first inning, and added

Saturday’s Illinois Twilight meet was a mixed bag of results for the Illinois women’s track and field team. The Illini won the meet behind five event titles and strong performances from the hurdlers and sprinters. However, some athletes who were expected to win their events under-performed, and coaches said some of the Illini who finished high on the score sheets know that they could have done better. The event started in the afternoon for Illinois with the pole vault. Senior Jennifer DeBellis and sophomore Sara McKeeman had performed well throughout the season, but on Saturday, neither cleared a single vault. Had DeBellis and McKeeman cleared their first attempts, they would have finished in second and third, respectively, but instead, neither athlete even got on the scoreboard. Head coach Ron Garner had his suspicions about why the vaulters missed their jumps. “The vaulters switched back to longer approach runs,” Garner said. “That affects a lot of variables, like the timing and the pole selection.”
ments, and we didn’t make good adjustments.” While there were some troubling performances for the Illini, there were even more positive results. The Illini swept the 100-meter hurdles in impressive fashion, with sophomore Pedrya Seymour, freshman Jayla Stewart and junior Kortni Smyers-Jones taking home first, second and third, respectively for the team. Seymour’s time of 13.4 seconds is the best time any Illini hurdler has scored all season. Seymour has now won the event in two-straight meets since returning to the team. “We actually ran into a slight headwind, but Pedrya’s time continued to improve,” Garner said. “It was very competitive. Jayla was right there with her the whole way. Kortni was a little bit behind them — she got off of her pattern — but she will be there when it counts.” The three hurdlers later returned to the track to take part in the 200-meter dash that Seymour also won with a time of 23.88 seconds, a personal record. Stewart finished fifth in the event, and Smyers-Jones was right on her tail in sixth. 6 in the 9 The trio was joined top 10 by sprinting regulars Janile Rogers, who fin-

High jumper Kandie Bloch-Jones, who had won both events she performed in this season, also had an uncharacteristically poor performance. Her winning streak ended when she was unable to clear 1.74 meters and finished second behind rival Haleigh Knapp of Eastern Illinois. Bloch-Jones beat Knapp on tie-breakers at the Big Blue Classic three weeks ago, but was unable to even match Knapp on Saturday. Bloch-Jones was visibly frustrated after missing her third-straight attempt at 1.74 meters. She had family and friends in attendance and seemed upset that she was unable to continue her winning streak in front of them. The h igh jumpers approached the bar from east to west, and the setting sun played a part in the results. There were a noticeably higher amount of fouls in the event, and one jumper from Illinois State even crashed into the standing bar at one of the lower heights, knocking it down. However, coach Garner admitted that the sun wasn’t the decisive factor in Bloch-Jones’ performance. “I really have no excuses,” Garner said of BlochJones and the pole vaulters’ results. “Sometimes at a meet, things are different, and you need to make adjust-
