Stephen Spector never expected to come to campus via Air Force 2. Looking through the windows of the white and blue Boeing 757 as it glazed over the cornfi elds on its descent toward University of Illinois Willard Airport in Savoy on Thursday, Spector thought back to his graduation night from the University in 2011. After the ceremony, he packed his bags and quickly left to return home to begin working the following morning for the Barack Obama reelection campaign in Chicago. But when Spector drove off campus, he didn’t know that the next time he’d return, he would be a
part of Vice President Joe Biden’s administration, which visited the University to promote the “It’s On Us” campaign . Spector began the fi rst part of a nearly five-yearlong career that has taken him from sleeping on friends’ couches in Chicago to the Department of Education to the White House, where Spector now serves as Biden’s deputy press secretary. “It was a pretty amazing feeling coming back to my old stomping grounds,” he said. “I was really proud, I was really proud not just of the vice president for being able to come to campus, but I was also really proud of my Alma Mater for being a leader on this.” Spector said his passion
for politics came from his time as a political reporter and editor for The Daily Illini, especially covering the 2008 election . “Through writing all those stories and contacting sources, learning so much about the process, it really struck an interesting chord with me, and I really fell in love with the idea of public service and the importance of getting involved with the political system,” he said. Spector said the administration believes that the University is one of the leaders for “It’s On Us,” principally because of efforts from the student government and students on campus. More than 1,500 attendees were at Biden’s event

It was just uncomfortable.” Schmidt was at the 17th mile marker when officials urged runners to seek shelter. Schmidt said he and runners around him decided that they were too far into the race to quit.

Sarah Mowitz, president of Women of Pride, said gender-inclusiveness allows for gender fluidity and gender exploration, making people feel accepted and comfortable with their own gender. To honor its mission statement to be inclusive and value each student’s voice, opinion and identity, University Housing recently proposed a housing plan to implement gender-inclusive restrooms and floors for select residence halls starting fall 2015. Allen 1 North, one wing of the first floor of Allen Hall and the first floor of Saunders Hall, located in Pennsylvania
Avenue Residence hall, will incorporate gender-inclusive restrooms and floors, said Kirsten Ruby, associate director of housing for communications and marketing. “We conducted focus groups, surveys, hall meetings and we had a lot of feedback from students that they liked Allen Hall becoming the pioneer for this type of community and so we’re trying it out on one wing on the first floor,” Ruby said. Mowitz, senior in FAA, said the new plan is part of the queer movement on campus, which attempts to address issues transgender students face by including
gender-neutral bathrooms and residence halls. She also said she understands why students may be uncomfortable with genderneutrality, but it is important for students to know what it means to be gender neutral and this gender-inclusive plan will be a form of education. “I think to be pro genderneutral living is to — usually — have kind of a comprehensive understanding of (being transgender) and to truly understand what it means to be a student that lives outside the gender bina-

Torrential downpours and cold weather did not stop runners from participating in the seventh annual Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon early Saturday morning, despite advice to halt the race because of the inclement weather. Participants in both the full and half marathon race began running in waves around 7 a.m., only to have the remainder of the race cancelled at 10:15 a.m. due to lightning in the area. There were approximately 15,610 individuals participating in the 5K, half marathon and full marathon, according to the marathon’s website. Rick Atterberry, public information officer for the Champaign County Emergency Management Agency, was stationed at the emergency operations post in Urbana during the race, and said after consulting with

It took officials an hour and a half to pick up almost 300 runners along the course who decided to seek shelter. Twenty-five lightning strikes were recorded in the area, according to the marathon’s website.

“I think actually besides Allen, PAR is also going to have it. I’m actually going to be an RA next year, so I think it’ll be a really good step forward and just opening conversations about what gender is and what it means to be inclusive on campus in different ways.”
“I think it’s a great idea. I think it would be an adjustment for some people. I think some people might not like it, but I think those concerns are outweighed by the benefits that it would have for a variety of people, most notably, students that are trans.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Whenever Monica Alegria has an appointment with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, she gets so nervous her head aches. Alegria didn’t come into the country illegally nor does she have a criminal record, but she and her husband are facing possible deportation. While applying for green cards, she said, the couple paid $2,000 in legal fees to an individual they thought was a licensed immigration attorney but who disappeared without providing any legal services. Frustrated, the Alegrias then tried another firm, only to be victims of fraud again. This time, according to their current attorney, the individual filed the Alegrias’ green card applications under asylum status even though they weren’t eligible, causing the start of deportation proceedings. “It’s like a nightmare,� Alegria said. Alegria and her husband are victims of a crime called notario fraud. This common problem for immigrants is committed by individuals called notarios who falsely claim to have the qualifications to offer legal counsel or file paperwork related to immigration proceedings. As a result, immigrants often find out their paperwork was filed incorrectly, or not at all, after they’ve paid hefty legal fees. The Alegrias first tried to apply for their green cards in 2010, after living in the U.S. for years with work visas. Monica Alegria, who emigrated from Mexico in 2001, described in broken English the day her husband realized they had been scammed by

Miami coffee shop tastes like home BY LISA MASCARO TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
MIAMI — Even before the sun poked through the skyline, the espresso machine at the landmark Versailles coffee shop in Little Havana whirred with activity. Sleepy-eyed men waited patiently around the takeout window, or la ventanita, for tiny cups of Cuban coffee that are poured slowly and with care by women in forest green uniforms on the other side of the counter. One older man stood alone reading the morning Spanish-language newspaper. Another scrolled through his cellphone. Strike up a political conversation with any one of them, and it’s like plunking a quarter into a jukebox that spirits the place to life. Some say politics can be a contact sport. Here under the palm trees at the cafe’s patio along busy Calle Ocho, it more resembles a long narrative poem that begins with the issue of the day and meanders into the familiar life stories that have come to defi ne south
Florida’s Cuban-American community. “Versailles is like the center of Cuban exile life in Little Havana,� said Jose Sanchez-Gronlier, who took a break one morning from his cortadito, an espresso cut with steamed milk, to provide an impromptu history of the place. Every time there’s a rumor that Fidel Castro has died, he said, people make their way to Versailles. On the day that Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., came to town to announce his presidential bid, there was plenty to discuss. President Barack Obama had just met with Raul Castro as part of the administration’s diplomatic opening to Cuba. Hillary Rodham Clinton had announced her presidential campaign the day before. No prodding was needed: Opinions were as strong as the Cuban coffee. Miguel Coppola, 75, stood on the patio pavement near swaying palms to enjoy guava pastry, crumbs spilling onto the sunglasses hanging from his neck. He quickly
assessed the increasingly crowded field of potential or declared presidential candidates: Jeb Bush, Clinton, Rubio and the rest. Rubio, whose political career started on the West Miami City Commission, has the hometown advantage as the son of Cuban immigrants. But he was not the automatic favorite among the men sipping their morning coffees. “He’s too passionate,� said Coppola, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1961 after the Castro revolution. Like many from his generation, he prefers Republicans to Democrats because the latter’s leftward tilt reminds him too much of the government he left behind. “He needs more time. Look at the one we have now, Obama.� Because Versailles, established 1971, has become so well known as an epicenter of Cuban-American life, it was only a matter of time before a television camera crew popped in and eyeballed Coppola, in his powder-blue guayaberalike shirt and tan slacks. He was

Located in Little Havana, guests visit the shop to drink Cuban coffee and discuss politics. quickly whisked aside for an interview. By the lunch hour, long lines began to form in the restaurant as nearby office workers settled in for something more substantial than the warm croquettes served from the window. But it was at the outside counter, in the increasingly muggy Miami heat, where the men — and they are mostly men — engaged in enthusiastic, almost ceaseless conversations
over the click-click-click of the grinder dropping coffee into the basket of the espresso grip and the swoosh of the steamer heating milk. Pose a simple question — whom do you like for president? — and it opened up an oral history of wrongs committed by the Castro government, harrowing accounts of fleeing the country and hopes of a better life in the United States. These stories have
shaped a generation of conservative and Republican voters for whom the Cold War never really ended and remains seared into their personal lives. The Republican Party’s hold on Cuban-Americans, though, is changing. A younger generation born in the United States hears that story line handed down from their parents and grandparents, but it’s not a hardship they personally endured.
Centuries of carbon released as permafrost thaws BY SABRINA SHANKMAN TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Permafrost — a vast, frozen subsurface layer of soil — covers nearly a quarter of the land in the Northern Hemisphere. It contains centuries worth of carbon in the form of plants that have died since the last ice age but remained frozen rather than decomposing. Now scientists are learn-
ing that the “perma� part of its name may no longer be accurate. As the Arctic heats up at a rate twice that of the rest of the globe and as sea ice and glaciers turn to water, the permafrost is also thawing. A recent review article in the journal Nature found that as the unfrozen organic matter decays, vast stores of carbon in the permafrost could
be released into the atmosphere. This will trigger an irreversible feedback system and nullify existing calculations of just how much carbon humans can burn and keep the globe within a relatively safe degree of warming.

We need to make sure people know it’s a problem and are there to support survivors.� Hill said he believes the event was an incredible experience for the campus. He compared himself to Amy Poehler’s character, Leslie Knope, on NBC’s show “Parks and Recreation,� particularly when Knope met Biden on season five of the show. “I kept joking around about this, but truly this
was a Leslie Knope kind of day,� Hill said. “You see Leslie Knope on ‘Parks and Recreation,’ she’s one of my favorite characters. You see her hanging out with Joe Biden, this stuff happens to her — not me.� Biden capped the visit to the University with a “local stop� at the Alma Mater with Hill; Mitch Dickey, student body president; and Sarah Hochman, vice president-internal of the Illinois Student Senate. For Spector, the visit came through the windows of the Vice President’s motorcade — marking the significance for him and his return to the University. “Fast forward almost four and a half to five years later, it’s all paid off,� he said. “I had this vision of what I wanted to do, and I just took it very disciplined and stuck to the things I knew worked, and got to meeting new people, that has led to where I am today.�
To allow for privacy, Ruby said the multiple-use bathrooms in Allen 1 North will have taller toilet and shower stalls to prevent anyone from looking over the top. She said there is little cost in different privacy installments. Mowitz said this plan is just one of the first steps in allowing for more genderinclusivity in University residence halls. She said in the future, she hopes entire residence halls will be more gender inclusive, but in the meantime, she is happy. “I think it’s really great. I think it’s something that is very, very necessary and I think it’s the next step in (resident) life,� Mowitz said. “Honestly, I think it’s coming at a very good time so
I’m very happy about it.� Isha Robertson, Illinois Street Residence Hall resident and sophomore in ACES, said she might not be comfortable living in a gender inclusive dorm. “If it was me, I don’t know if I would be comfortable with it,� Robertson said. “You don’t want to end up with that one person who would take advantage of the situation.� Ruby said students will not be assigned to the gender-inclusive community if it is not their choice. She said all students have the opportunity to select the community they want to live in, and information about the gender-inclusive restroom option is clearly described on the housing site.
marathon was for a good cause. The marathon raised over $25,000 in proceeds, which will be donated to 16 charities, including March of Dimes and the Humane
Society. “In the end, charity is as good a reason as any to run a marathon,� Schmidt said .

EDITORIAL Improvements needed to prevent assault
V
ice President Joe Biden spoke at the University on Thursday about ending sexual assault in light of the University’s efforts with the “It’s On Us� campaign. In the U.S., one in five women and one in 71 men will be sexually assaulted during their lives, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. The prevalence of sexual assault and prevention are important topics to be discussed and addressed. However, the nation and the University still have a long way to go. How the nation can be improved Preceding Biden’s speech, many student speakers shared stories of their own sexual assaults. These stories involved male and females being assaulted, as well as accounts of same-sex sexual assault. However, Biden solely focused on male attackers — never discussing male victims or female attackers. One in 16 men are sexually assaulted while in college, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, and this is not a statistic we can overlook. We cannot blame one gender for this crime. If we are to end sexual assault, we must hold everyone accountable — both males and females — and realize anyone can be a victim or perpetrator. How the University can be improved The “It’s On Us� campaign preaches that everyone is responsible for ending sexual assault. Students have been pledging to this movement, and the faculty and administration need to respond to our efforts and enforce more rules barring perpetrators from this campus. During Biden’s speech, he said “perpetrators (should be) treated with the moral disapprobation they deserve ... it’s not only grounds for discipline and expulsion — you should go to jail.� However, no zero-tolerance policies are set in place for the University. Students are calling for justice; our federal government is calling for justice. The University administration needs to explore creating new policies. How student efforts can be improved Thursday morning saw a line of hundreds of students waiting to see the Vice President of the United States. Seeing him might have been a once in a lifetime opportunity, but that’s not what Thursday was about. Instead of walking away boasting about the fact that Biden spoke on our campus, we need to take this as an opportunity to finally end sexual assault. Even if you did not attend Thursday’s event, our campus is at the forefront of a sexual assault prevention movement. But we still have to improve. Until the day when there are no cases of sexual assault on campus, there will still be areas where we need to make strides. Everyone’s efforts should be praised for aiming to end sexual assault, but just because we are making improvements doesn’t mean we should stop striving to be even better.
Student representation missing THOMAS DOWLING Opinions columnist
On
Thursday, I had the opportunity to attend Vice President Joe Biden’s “It’s On Us� rally. But in the face of Mr. Biden’s oratorical prowess, something stuck out to me even more than his speaking ability. P refacing M r. Biden’s remarks was the traditional long list of speakers, each introducing the next. It was the last speaker that caught my eye, more so than Vice President Biden. Student Body President Mitch Dickey delivered the last remarks and introduced Mr. Biden. I couldn’t help butwonder, “Who is this guy?� I don’t remember voting for the man calling himself the voice for the student body. At the University of Illinois, our student body president is not elected by the students. Instead, an internal vote occurs in the Illinois Student Senate. This creates a barrier between our lead student representative and the actual student body. Just look at the implications of the title “Student Body President.� It naturally implies that the president was selected by our student body. According
to the student senate constitution, the student body president “publicly represents the views expressed by the Illinois Student Senate as a whole.� This is a critical point because the president is our public voice, but as they were not elected by us, lacks our permission to speak on our behalf. While the nameplate might scream legitimacy, the process does not. More importantly, the student body president is the only student gover nment representative known by many students. Students don’t necessarily notice the actions of their student senator, but they do hear about the actions of the student body president. If students could vote for their president, they would be more likely to vote in student elections, especially as many have complained about student’s lack of involvement i n student gover nment. Furthermore, student government is the most effective way to express dissatisfaction with University policy. Their
actions play a critical role in the way the University operates. Actions such as this should not be unilateral, and enforcing students’ right to vote for their president allows them to exercise control over the process. I hit the Quad to try and discover how much students knew about their student government and found my hypothesis was indeed correct. I had the opportunity to talk with Timo thy Hurley, freshman in Engineering, Jackson Shedelbower, junior in LAS and Helen Enda, freshman in DGS. All three were unable to name the senator who was elected to represent their college, but were able to name Mitch Dickey as the Un iversit y ’s student body president. A position with such visibility should be accountable to us, not the Illinois Student Senate. I reached out to Student Body President Mitch Dickey asking for his position on the issue. In his e-mail Dickey said, “I do think the {student body president] and the [student body vice
I couldn’t help but wonder, “Who is this guy?�I don’t remember voting for the man calling himself the voice for the student body.
president] should be elected as a ticket by the whole student body.� Dickey continued by saying, “We have been looking for a new student government constitution that would have this be the case for a few years,� referring to a constitution that would implement direct election for the student body president and vice president. I am glad that the Illinois Student Senate is planning on embracing a more populist approach to student government, but I am worried that this has been a plan that has been in the works for quite sometime. Rather than taking quick, decisive action, the Illinois Student Senate has been resting on its heels. Considering this beneficial rule has been put off for a few years, the hesitation or potential logrolling needs to end so as not to prevent change entirely. We need to emphasize student body accountability above all else. Our leaders need to be elected by us and nobody else. That is the only way we will have a truly representative student government. I plan on holding Student Body President Mitch Dicky and the ISS accountable to making these changes, and hopefully, so will the rest of the University.

Biden protestors misguided BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist
I
have a confession to make: I didn’t see Joe Biden’s support of the “It’s On Us� campaign at CRCE last week. I know it makes me a bad American or whatever, but I had to listen to a presentation on the ancient city of Priene in Turkey, and as much as it pained me, I had to go to class for the sake of my final grade. Take that, senioritis! On my way back from David Kinley Hall, I stumbled across a group of students along the crowded sidewalk with chants and signs. “Oh no. What could crazy right wing people possibly have to say this time,� I thought as I approached them, only to be completely surprised. Their signs included pictures of the Vice President at various events with his hands on women’s shoulders and marked criticism for the entire “It’s On Us� campaign, calling it a “shell organization� and criticizing its existence. The “It’s On Us� campaign seeks to have people sign a pledge to recognize and intervene whenever instances of sexual assault happen. The fact that anyone would protest this event is something that is infinitely nonsensical to me. Fear not, though, the protest platoon was in full force on Thursday.
To decry Joe Biden for potentially making women feel uncomfortable is one thing, yes. Perhaps he has made women feel uncomfortable — that is regrettable and should never happen to anyone, regardless of gender. But to use this to attack the professional acumen of a man who has put sexual assault on the forefront of his agenda for his entire career (and damn, it’s been a long career) seems hasty. Biden even wrote the ground-breaking Violence Against Women Act in 1994, which allocated $1.6 billion toward the investigation of violent crimes against women. What’s more, these protests happened in conjunction with Biden’s speech, which was an explicit confrontation of popular notions surrounding sexual assault — especially on campuses. Maybe I’m far too cynical, but given our campus’ problems with sexual assault, I would think that an event that brings together a plethora of students to rally against the crime would be praised. To say that these protesters oppose the cause would be
wrong; I’m sure they, too, want to end sexual assault. I believe they simply had a problem with Joe Biden being selected as speaker and the notion that the pledge provided by “It’s On Us� was more rhetoric than anything else. While this could very well be true, when it comes down to it, his mere presence on our campus united hundreds of people in support of a fantastic cause. Maybe it’s not as in-depth as the protesters would like, but you cannot, in good faith, protest a campaign that raises massive amounts of awareness, at the very least. Freedom of protest is an immensely important aspect of American society, but these specific protests seem extremely trivial — I would think this group would want to spread as much information in support of ending sexual assault as was humanly possible, something that “It’s On Us� aims to do. I’m sure this is not the case, but to many students, it seemed like the protesters found out Joe Biden was coming to campus and decided to protest purely for the sake of attention. As someone who takes
Maybe I’m far too cynical, but given our campus’ problems with sexual assault, I would think that an event that brings together ... students ... would be praised.
EDITORIAL CARTOON
political action seriously, this is extremely troubling. Unsolicited touching is bad — it should never happen. But it doesn’t make a villain out of someone who is actively working to curb sexual assault on a global scale, and has been for some time. Perhaps it delegitimizes his work, but it doesn’t make his work any less admirable. I, for one, think the widespread campus support of “It’s On Us� was legitimate. It was our community standing together saying we don’t support sexual assault. Yes, Biden’s speech may have only raised awareness for sexual assault survivors; yes, it could have gone further. What it did do, however, was inspire hundreds of students who would otherwise not have paid attention to such an important cause. The opposition of sexual assault prevention, in any way, shape or form, looks foolish. It seems less and less like the protesters had a reason to protest, and more and more like they were simply trying to shock a large-scale event for sheer attention. I both know and agree with many protesters who were outside of CRCE on Thursday — and I’m sure their claims were legitimate — but berating a person and an organization that seek to destroy sexual assault is certainly not the way to make your voice heard by any rational person.

PRETZELS ideas. In the five months since her start, Hoke has made pretzels for holidays, baby showers and even adorned some of the treats in green for an Unofficial celebration. Hoke’s boyfriend, Jaron Frisina, a parttime Parkland College student, is helping with her pretzel ventures. “(We) will just sit down for an evening and melt chocolates and do rotations,� Frisina said. “An entire tray probably takes us five or ten minutes, from melting the chocolate to putting them in the fridge.� Making the pretzels has become a bonding experience for the couple and an activity that they can enjoy and experience together, Frisina said. “When we make them we don’t go fast, we just take our time.

together,� Frisina said. “We like to do it together because it’s time we get to spend in each other’s company, because each of us are constantly doing other things.� Pat Becker, a co-worker of Hoke’s at the University, was one of her first clients. “Someone in our building brought some pretzels to work for everyone to have,� Becker said. “They were delicious, and I decided I wanted to take some to my family party. I knew I could depend on (Hoke) when I needed them.� Hoke made the sweet treats for Becker’s Easter party, where Becker said they proved to be a hit. “Becca’s pretzels were frosted in different pastels, and they made a beautiful display,� Becker said. “Everyone commented on how pretty they were and how great they tasted.� For now, Hoke said she is continuing to expand her customer base and try out new ideas for pretzel
designs. “I haven’t had a chance to make a lot of other cute ideas that I have, I’m just waiting for opportunities,� Hoke said. “I’ve always wanted to make them for a wedding.� Hoke said she is making pretzels for a friend’s daughter’s upcoming birthday party as a substitute for a cake. She said the pretzels are a good alternative because it is less messy for children, and she can still make them in any color. Hoke and Frisina are planning on passing out samples of their treats on the Main Quad in the upcoming weeks, something they want students to keep an eye out for. The pretzels can be made in a total of three different sizes: rods, big twists and bite-sized, all in the customer’s color of choice.

COOTIES of gender is for children as they grow and learn about the world. They build their own gender identities, leading them to prefer those who are in the same group. For many years, psychologists thought the amygdala’s only function was to activate when a fearful stimuli was present. Recent research from William Cunningham of Ohio State University and Tobias Brosch of New York University suggests that the amygdala’s sole function isn’t just to convey fear, but it also indicates when stimuli in the environment are important. Telzer’s study, “‘The Cooties Effect:’ Amygdala Reactivity to Opposite- versus Same-sex Faces Declines from Childhood to Adolescence,� found that the amygdala’s response to gender increases from ages 4 to 7. Then, it increases again in teenagers. Telzer examined the brain activity in 52 children, measuring the flow of oxygenated blood into the brain using an fMRI. The research team also looked at 93 children’s behaviors toward those of the same and opposite sex. Telzer’s study reinforced Cunningham and Brosch’s research. “So in early childhood, the opposite sex is interest-
ing because of this idea of cooties; while in puberty, the opposite sex is interesting because it’s potentially this idea of crushes,� Telzer said. “It’s this kind of neural signal that we think is involved in detecting developmentally appropriate things that are salient or interesting.� Graduate student in psychology Yuta Katsumi said the amygdala’s response depends on what is important to the subject. “What’s really interesting about the amygdala is that it flexibly responds to stimuli that carry some motivational significance, but the definition of ‘significance’ seems to vary depending on who sees the stimuli,� Katsumi said over email, referring to a study done in 2013 by Natalie Ebner of the University of Florida. Ebner’s work found that older adults had an amygdala response when viewing same-age faces, but young adults did not. Katsumi said in that case, age could be more important for older adults, as they may be reminded of “age-related changes in daily routines more frequently.� The findings of increased amygdala response in puberty were surprising to Telzer and her team, as they showed how the amygdala could be involved in different age group’s responses. “We were anticipating, kind of, the cooties effect.
When we found this effect emerging again around puberty, it surprised us that the very same brain region was signaling potentially to different phenomenon,� Telzer said. “It was also exciting to see that this brain region could be involved in different things to better understand the brain’s involvement in the different ways we think, so one brain region’s not responsible for one thing — it could be responsible for multiple things.� The results of the study have potential to assist researchers in understanding further how development can influence social categories. For example, a 2012 study done by Telzer indicated that, due to activity in the amygdala, race is becoming an important category for adolescents. Katsumi said he sees potential for Telzer’s research to play a role in his own, which focuses on the neural mechanisms behind group membership in adults. “By comparing people of diverse age groups, or even studying the same individuals over years, we might be able to elucidate how people change their perspectives of the contemporary complex social world across the lifespan, and how brain regions such as the amygdala might participate in this process,� Katsumi said.

A location students usually use to study and commute to class was converted into a stage and outdoor concert venue Sunday afternoon. The University’s first annual Spring Jam concert hosted well-known artists B.o.B. and Timeflies. The Illini Union Board, State Farm Center and Star Course hosted the concert on the Main Quad. The concert was free to
all students who presented their i-Card upon entry. Hannah Ahn, senior manager for Star Course and senior in Engineering, helped plan the event. She said the most memorable part of the experience was that it occurred on the Main Quad, something that Star Course has tried to make happen for years.

A student’s twist on pretzel-making Pretzel service offers themed treats BY MADDIE GALASSI STAFF WRITER
When the savory, rich taste of chocolate is combined with the crisp, saltiness of pretzels, a delectable
snack is created for anyone with a sweet tooth or salt craving. Rebecca Hoke, graduate student in Social Work, is putting a twist on the com-
cellor Phyllis Wise. “We’ve been working on it for so long,� she said. “(Spring Jam) is my baby.� Ahn said she also enjoyed Timeflies because they performed a freestyle rap targeted toward the University.

mon snack by starting her own gourmet chocolate-covered pretzel service. Hoke discovered the idea in December, when her friend found a picture of chocolate-covered pretzels on Pinterest and said she wanted them as favors for her baby shower. This gave Hoke another idea: making them herself. “In high school, I did a project about cake decorating and pastry making, so I had a little bit of background on working with
Another Star Course senior manager, Ryan Marohn, said his favorite act was B.o.B. Marohn, senior in LAS, said he didn’t realize how many songs featured B.o.B. Marohn said he enjoyed announcing B.o.B., throwing T-shirts to the audience and crowd-surfing. Ameera Salem, freshman in Social Work, attended the concert. Salem said the highlight of her
melted foods,� Hoke said. “I made chocolate-covered pretzels once but had never done anything like this before. I made them for the shower, and they were a huge hit and everyone kept telling me how nice they were and that I could sell them.� After the baby shower, Hoke hit the ground running. She created a Facebook page to attract more customers and try out new
concert experience was when B.o.B. took a “selfie video� on her phone for Snapchat. She said the artist was very interactive with the crowd. Because Ahn and Marohn are both graduating in May, Marohn added that Spring Jam was the perfect last show. “It was a great way to start a tradition that will hopefully get bigger and bigger,� he said.

Men’s golf wins Big Tens BY DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER
The Illinois men’s golf team received its biggest contribution from an often overlooked source at this weekend’s Big Ten Championships. Freshman Nick Hardy gave his best performance of the season, shooting a combined 4-under-par 284, tying him for first place on the individual leaderboard with Iowa’s Carson Schaake. As a team, the Illini finished 32 strokes ahead of Iowa, the second-place finisher — the win was Illinois’ sixth conference tournament win in seven years. The tournament was held at the Victoria National Golf Club in Newburgh, Indiana. Illinois head coach Mike Small had nothing but good things to say about his star freshman’s performance through tough Indiana weather. “When our first guy, Nick Hardy, goes out and shoots 4-under-par in these conditions and on this golf course, that sends a message,� Small
said. The freshman was not the only Illini to have a noteworthy performance. Recently crowned Les Bolstad award winner for the lowest season stroke average in the conference junior Thomas Detry finished in third place with a score of 286. The entirety of the Illinois starting five finished in the top 11 in individual scoring, with no golfer shooting above a 5-over 293. Great individual showings by all members of the team led to a dominant final score. Illinois took the lead on the first day of the tournament and never relinquished it. Small said his team’s dominant showing means his players are rallying and feeding off each other’s momentum. “When you have Brian Campbell go out and get over par with a doublebogey early only to come back and shoot 3-under, the team feeds off that. For those guys to go out first and set the standard and the
pace for the rest of the team, that’s important.� Illinois was the only team to figure out the tough Victoria National Golf Club. With a course rating of 75.3, and a par of 72, the course leaves very little room for error. In the field of 14 competitors, Illinois was the only team to finish under par, finishing with a score of 1138 (-14). Big Ten rivals Iowa and Minnesota rounded out the top three. Outside of being a difficult course, the Victoria National Golf Club brings some hometown roots for one of the Illini. Freshman Dylan Meyer, who shot a 2-over 290 to tie for seventh, happens to be an Evansville, Indiana native. Meyer’s high school — Evansville Central — is only a 30-minute drive from the Victoria National Golf Club. The Big Ten Championship is the last tournament Illinois compete in before the NCAA championships. Not competing until May 14, Illinois get a rest from competition before attempting to capture the NCAA Championship.
The Illinois men’s track and field team brought the Hy-Vee Cup back home for the third-straight year, finishing first at this week’s Drake Relays. Head coach Mike Turk was satisfied with his team’s recorded-breaking performa nce i n Des Moines, Iowa. “Our performance this weekend was outstanding,� Turk said. “The thing that those guys continue to do well, and did exceptionally well this weekend, is go out and compete ... The fact of the matter is that winning is fun.� Day one began with two Illinois athletes competing in the decathalon. Senior Corey Ha mmon a nd sophomore George Wayda competed Wednesday in the 100- and 400-meter dashes, long jump, shot put and high jump. Hammon finished the first leg of the two-day decathlon in 10th place with 3,543 points, while Wayda accumulated 3,296 points to finish in 19th place. Four more members of the team joined Wayda and Hammon in competition Thursday. Junior distance r u n ner Ia n Ba r net t provided the highlight of the day, capturing the 5,000 meters title with a time of 13:56.16, the third-fastest time in Illinois history in the event. The second day of c ompetition i ncluded milestones for another Illinois distance runner. Senior Brendan McDonnell recorded a personal best time of 30:16.28 in the

Illinois sweeps Penn State, wins 17th straight game BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
The streak lives on long enough to become etched in the record books. It wasn’t easy, but the Illinois baseball team sealed another Big Ten series victory and pushed its winning streak to a school-record 17 games with a sweep of Penn State over the weekend in University Park, Pennsylvania. The Illini (36-6-1, 13-1 Big Ten) had 32 hits and scored 20 runs over the three games, while the pitching staff held the Nittany Lions (13-26, 2-12) to six runs, only three of which were earned. “It’s been a fun run,� said head coach Dan Hartleb. “Our guys have done a good job of playing together as a team.

Junior Jennifer DeBellis finished ninth in the pole vault, clearing 4.05 meters. Illinois had fifth-place finishes in the distance medley relay and the 4x800 meter relay.

High-placing relay teams are awarded points toward the Hy-Vee Cup. The dis-

BASEBALL Johnson, Jay and Blackburn struck out 14 batters and walked two. Hartleb praised his pitching staff and was nearly speechless after Saturday’s nail-biter. “What a great college baseball game,� Hartleb said. “Nobody deserved to lose that. Just a well-played game.� Friday night’s game was much less dramatic. Powered by long home runs and eight total RBIs from senior infielders David Kerian and Reid Roper, the Illini scored in each of the first four innings to propel themselves to 10-1 win. Kerian belted a two-out grand slam to the deepest part of the ballpark to blow open the Illini lead in the third inning, and Roper provided cushion with a

Junior catcher Jason Goldstein hit his sixth home run of the season to extend his career-long hitting streak to 16 games. Starter John Kravetz scattered nine hits over six innings to earn his fourth win of the year. With the sweep of Penn State, Illinois has won all eight of this season’s Big Ten series and remain on top of the conference standings with just three more conference series remaining in the regular season.

Another Illinois women’s golf freshman stepped up in a big way this weekend at the Big Ten Championship. Freshman Jan Prapassarangkul led the Illini wireto-wire, posting a firstround score of even par to put her in the top-15 going into round two at The Fort Golf Course in Indianapolis. She stumbled through the second round, where she posted a 6-over-par 78. The round featured a four-hole stretch when she was 5-over. Prapassarangkul recovered in the final round, however, posting a 1-under 71 to finish in a tie for 16th with a score of 5-over 221. “I was just able to score well, and that doesn’t mean I necessarily played well,� Prapassarangkul. “My short game was really good and I was able to save lots of shots from that.� As a team, Illinois finished ninth with a score of 43-over 907, 44 shots out of first and eight shots behind eighth-place Maryland. The Illini were consistent throughout the tournament, shooting 302, 303 and 302 in the three rounds, but failed to get any momentum going to rise up the leaderboard.

Senior Farris Gosea and freshman Aleks Vukic claimed the first victory for Illinois with an 8-2 win over No. 85 Hunter Callahan and Chris Diaz. Ohio State fought back on Court 3, where Matt Mendez a nd M ik ael Tor pega a rd defe ated Hiltzik and Guignon. But a few short minutes later, No. 68 Tim Kopinski and junior Jared Hiltzik claimed the doubles point with their 8-5 over No. 4 Kevin Metka and Ralf Steinbach. “Our guys came out really dialed in and focused. (Kopinski) and Jared in the doubles were just exceptional. They played like men out there; they were animals,� Dancer said. “(They) dialed in singles ...

The freshman was cool under pressure as he clinched a Big Ten championship. In the first set, Hiltzik had taken an early 4-1 lead but Callahan fought back to make it as close 6-4. In the second set, Callahan nearly tied it 5-5 as the two traded advantages in the deuce. But Hiltzik finished off Callahan and the Buckeyes with what he called “focused� play. “You work so hard for such a long period of time,� Dancer said. “For these guys to have this moment in front of the incredible Net Nuts and the fans who came out today, it’s just magical.�

Turk said he hopes that the success and lessons learned from the Drake Relays will carry over to the upcoming meet. The Musco Twilight meet is the team’s final regular season competition. “The biggest thing for us right now is that we have a few guys who are a little banged up,� Turk said. “We have to get those guys healthy, and make sure that everyone is taking care of their recovery.�

Illini lose tough match to Wildcats BY JONATHAN JOFFE STAFF WRITER
BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Melissa Kopinski attempts to return the ball during the match against Rutgers at Atkins Tennis Center on April 5. The Illini won 7-0.
The Illinois women’s tennis team wanted revenge against Northwestern after the Illini lost to them 6-1 on March 20. An upset was in the works on Friday in Evanston, Illinois, during the Big Ten Tournament opener, but Illinois’ bid fell short in a 4-3 decision. The loss marks the end of the Illini’s tournament run and most likely the end of the team’s season. No. 52 Illinois likely needed a win in order to make the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Friday’s match was a battle to say the least, lasting six hours before sophomore L ouise Kwong fell in straight sets 6-3, 6-3, giving Northwestern the final point it needed to secure a victory. Despite eventually losing the match, the Illini got off to a fast start by winning the doubles point. Illinois won three of the match’s first four points.
After the doubles portion of the match, inclement weather forced the teams to move indoors for the remainder of the day. Senior Melissa Kopinski cementing her name in the record books was a bright spot for the Illini. She is now in a threeway tie for third on the all-time doubles wins list with 87 wins after she and Kwong defeated Alicia Barnett and Erin Larner of Northwestern 8-7 in a 7-2 tiebreaker. Kopinski said she is proud of her individual accomplishments, but also spoke about her teammates, who she likely played her last match with. “This was definitely a memorable season,” Kopinski said. “Yes, we had our ups and downs, but to compete with this year’s team has been a privilege.” Kopinski said the match was one of the most competitive matches that she has been a part of, and losing it stung.

Gurley fights bad luck; Dolphins prospects brighten

ly 1,400 yards as a freshman, averaged a shade less than 100 yards a game as a sophomore and was poised for a recordbreaking third season in Athens. But nothing went as planned. The NCAA suspended Gurley for four games after it determined he received hundreds of impermissible dollars to sign memorabilia. In his first game back — catastrophe. Late in the Bulldogs’ Nov. 15 win over Auburn, Gurley cut left and then lunged forward for a first down. As he planted his foot, his left knee popped — he ruptured his ACL. His season was over. His draft prospects? Dimmed. And yet, he decided to forgo his senior year and went pro. Famed orthopedist James Andrews performed the reconstructive surgery and is adamant that Gurley is ahead of schedule. Gurley might even be
ready for the start of the season, although the Dolphins wouldn’t necessarily need him that soon. They still have Lamar Miller, who ran for almost 1,100 yards a season ago. The typical recovery time for such an injury is nine months to a year. And the odds of tearing a reconstructed ACL are just 2 percent, said orthopedic surgeon Harlan Selesnick, the Miami Heat’s team physician. But just as important is the extent of damage to the surrounding cartilage. Selesnick wouldn’t speculate on the nature of Gurley’s injury, but rather spoke about ACL tears in general. And in his history, players who rush back too quickly are more likely to suffer setbacks. “If the overall condition of his knee is good and his ligament is good, that speaks well for his prognosis in the league,” Selesnick said. “Teams would

be more likely to take a chance on a player like that than someone else who hasn’t ever recovered as well.” Added Selesnick: “The success rate in terms of stability is really quite good. You don’t
see a lot of guys having a repeat ACL surgery. ... You can usually feel comfortable taking one of those players.” And besides, the Dolphins’ luck at the position couldn’t possibly get worse.

Georgia Bulldogs running back Todd Gurley tries to elude the tackle of Tennessee Volunteers linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin during the second quarter at Sanford Stadium Sept. 27, in Athens, Georgia.

initely a player that his ability stands out and shines,” said Eric Stokes, the Dolphins’ assistant general manager. “He’s an exciting guy to watch. We’ve enjoyed working through that process with him and seeing him. From there, we’ll see where things shake out.” And here’s the best part. He’s as young as it gets. Gurley won’t even be able to legally buy beer when training camp opens. His 21st birthday is Aug. 3. A native of Baltimore, Gurley went to high school near Raleigh, North Carolina, earning all-star honors as a senior. A four-star recruit, he picked Georgia over four in-state programs that offered him a scholarship. While with the Bulldogs, he also ran track for Team USA, competing in hurdles in 2011. But football was his meal ticket. He was electric with the ball in his hands. He ran for near-

The Dolphins have not used a first-round pick on a running back in a decade. Who can blame them? They might be shellshocked from a long history of awful luck. Seven times in 49 years, the Dolphins have taken a running back in the first round. Only two Hall of Famers — Larry Csonka and Ronnie Brown — amounted to anything. As for the rest? John Avery lasted just one year in Miami. David Overstreet was killed in a car accident after his first season with the Dolphins. Sammie Smith served seven years in prison for cocaine distribution. Lorenzo Hampton rushed for more than 500 yards just once in his five NFL seasons. And Jim Grabowski, the franchise’s first draft pick, never played a down for the Dolphins, then of the American Football
League. He instead decided to sign with the NFL’s Green Bay Packers, who also drafted him. So tell Dolphins fans — and their running backs — that curses don’t exist. Perhaps that’s why Todd Gurley is so appealing. Maybe he got all of his bad luck out of the way in college. Gurley probably would be the best running back prospect since Adrian Peterson had he not torn his left ACL midway through his junior year at Georgia. Here’s the remarkable thing: Even with the injury, he still might be. The Dolphins covet Gurley, multiple sources have told the Miami Herald, and would love for him to fall to them at No. 14 in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday. But some doubt he will even make it out of the top 10; ESPN draftnik Todd McShay projects him going sixth to the Jets. “He’s a talent. He’s def-
