Number of shootings rises in Champaign we’ll go years without having any significant incidents and sometimes they all clump up in a cluster together.” There has not been a noticeable pattern in the locations or events of the shootings, said Champaign Police Sergeant Dave Griffet. He added that the shootings could be drug related and attributed the increase in shots fired to an offender’s easy access to a gun. “It’s easy to get a gun. A lot of it has to do with the fact that a lot of younger people don’t rationalize or resolve things as the way that maybe most people did in their lives,” Griffet said. He believes that young people fail with coping strategies and do not consider the consequences of their actions. The offenders take advantage of their opportunity to “attack” or “retaliate.” “I believe that a lot of our young people feel as though you know they can react however they want to and they don’t understand that it comes with consequences,” he said. Out of the 14 shootings that have taken place, some of them have occurred during the day

The city of Champaign is seeing an increase in shootings. Between March 13 and April 6, there have been 14 shootings in the Champaign area. Last year, the Champaign Police Department saw an increase in shootings in June. According to a June 28 press release, there was a total of 12 fi rearm-related incidents between June 7 and June 28. With the current rise in shootings, Champaign police officers are expressing concern because the increase is beginning even earlier in the year. “This is a concern — we haven’t even gotten into the typically warmer months of the year where we would expect this type of violence to kick off,” said Champaign Police Department Deputy Chief Troy Daniels. University of Illinois Police Department Deputy Chief Skip Frost said the warmer weather contributes to the increase in crime; however, it is only a contributing factor. “Sometimes that plays into it, but I can’t tell you it’s the definitive reason,” he said. “This thing goes in cycles, sometimes

Religion classes could improve open-mindedness, research shows the first two years and a Bible as literature course during the second two years. “(Religious education) kind of helps people see other potentials for cultures, well beyond their own world, and I think that is very positive at that age,” Layton said. Masood Haque, former president of Interfaith in Action and a senior in LAS, said that the hard feelings and misunderstandings of the different cultures that he sees on campus revolve mainly on a lack of exposure to different groups and mindsets. He said sometimes the most information people have about a certain group is based on stereotypes they have seen about certain groups. By creating a moment of real contact with different types of people, his group hopes to break down stereotypes and promote relationships that will strengthen not only individuals but the community as a whole.
BY CLAIRE HETTINGER STAFF WRITER
On a campus that prides itself on being “Inclusive Illinois,” University religious education research suggests ways to help people be more open-minded. Richard Layton, professor of religion, recently co-wrote the book, “For the Civic Good: The Liberal Case for Teaching Religion in the Public Schools,” with Walter Feinberg, professor of education policy, organization and leadership. Layton said they hoped to fi nd what school districts could achieve through religion or Bible courses that they could not through other means. Then, they hope to present this information to school districts so they can evaluate if this is something of value to educators or not. They decided it is most effective for high school students to take a world religions course in

problem some religious groups encounter. She said they try to make students understand some people are in the privileged group and some are in the minority group because this viewpoint is not something that many people are exposed to. “I am an international student, and I have a lot of friends who come from the same background as me. In our own country the majority — the mainstream — is not religious. So we were not exposed to religious diversity before (college),” Sun said. She said she and her friends have experienced uncomfortable interactions with groups on campus who try to preach their religious to others. She said it is not so much that they do not want to talk to other groups about their religion, but it is just

DuPree identifies himself as queer and realizes a lot of religions are not accepting of queer individuals. “I distance myself on purpose from those faiths because I’m like, if you are not going to accept me to begin with, or if you are going to discredit anything I have to bring to the table because of this one identity, then I don’t want to have anything to do with you either,” he said. But he said it is a structural problem and it is incorporated into the very essence and culture of our University, as well as our country.

This ladybug larvae is a preset for the electron microscope the Bugscope Project uses. “We find the grossest stuff for the kids to see because they like it,” said Scott Robinson, Bugscope team member.
FROM 1A
BUGSCOPE The three classes each had a computer where students could type out their questions while viewing presets of bugs. One student asked “Why do they call lady bugs ‘lady bugs?’” when a ladybug appeared on the stream. Wong replied. “It’s in reference to Mary, mother of Jesus, and in Britain, they became known as Our Lady’s beetle. The proper colloquial name for ladybugs is ladybird beetle, or lady beetle,” he said. From there, Dravland could zoom in closer on the ladybug, showing the insect’s hairs. The kind of view the electron microscope offers isn’t possible with the typical classroom microscopes, which use light, Robinson said. “A scanning electron microscope lets you see a sample that’s three dimensional ... and you’re able to scan it from the outside and you’re able to get really awe-
some high resolution images of it because you’re using electrons,” he said, adding that the technology is analogous to using a high f-stop on a camera. The samples the class viewed went through an intensive process before they wound up in the microscope. First, the Bugscope team had to find insects — Robinson said that often times, schools will do this step for the Bugscope team. Next, the bugs get stowed away for a while until it approaches the scheduled viewing. Then, they get coated with a metal and are put into the microscope. “As it turns out, insects are absolutely the coolest thing to look at, because insects have an exoskeleton. So you can just take an insect that you find dead and you can take it in and you can coat it with gold palladium,” Robinson said. “Whereas, if you try to look at a worm, it’s just going to shrivel up because it has a soft body.” Dravland said that this tied into his class’s life cycle unit and the curriculum in general, which is
heavy on earth and environmental sciences. “They’re beginning to learn in second grade how insects interact with humans, how they help, how they hurt,” he said. “They’re going to be working on trying to develop and identify features of some more native insects ... and identify things that they do in our local environment.” Interactivity and engagement, Robinson said, are the key to getting students interested in science. He said that with Bugscope, there’s no test — no pressure, just learning. “They’ll start saying ‘well what did you study in school so that you could do this?’ and they’ll start thinking about it. And that’s what we want. We want science to be very approachable,” he said. “We get to see the coolest research come through here, stuff that nobody knows about yet ... we want the kids to see this and get excited about it.”

uncomfortable when people try to persuade her toward their religion. “We are uncomfortable with people forcing ideas unto us,” she said. Layton said he sees a difference between a Bible course and a world religion course. The researchers discovered that world religion courses help students discover other groups of people who are different from them, while Bible as literature courses help discover differences within their own familiar group. “The most important course would be a world religions course because that exposes students to a really breathtaking diversity,” Layton said. He said it is great to expose high school students to these ideals while they’re still young and in a familiar environment. He said when students take the Bible course, it is helpful for them to see people they know and trust interpreting the book a different way. This way, he said, they can learn that it is okay if people have different ideas, and they can still be friends.

SHOOTING making it a safety hazard for traffic and cars, Griffet said. This raises the danger for innocent victims to be struck by a gunshot. “As one would expect, any time you discharge a firearm, if the bullet doesn’t hit its intended target, it still travels and it has to stop somewhere,” he said. “Our greatest concern is that it’s going to travel on past the intended target — it misses and some innocent person ends up getting hit by the gunfire.” Lt. Robert Fitzgerald of the Urbana Police Department stated that Urbana has not seen a

One problem that occurs with Bible courses is that it is very easy for teachers to slip into looking at the book in one way and not considering the other interpretations or understandings of it as well, Layton said. He said it gets tricky when these classes are used to try and shape the morals of students. This is the point where constitutionality comes into play, and it is a thin line between pushing what one religion says is right and what another one does. He said he does not see a problem with different moral traditions being looked at and discussed. This is simply “asking the student to look at the world through their eyes, to assume their place for a little bit,” he said. Allison Alexander, sophomore in Business, said for many students the I-Connect workshop is the first exposure to different cultures and ways of thinking about the world. It is their first opportunity coming to terms with different thought processes and world views. “We see diversity every day, but we don’t necessarily think about what it means, or how it affects each of us,” Alexander said.
She said there are big problems right now with diversity on campus, citing the backlash on Twitter toward Chancellor Phyllis Wise this winter to the Native American students who feel uncomfortable with the continuation of Chief Illiniwek’s presence. Sun said many students feel like they have gained knowledge of diversity and other world views that they have may have not had before. She said the workshops are good because they give people exposure to differences that they may not have had in high school or in their time prior to the University. But, Alexander thinks early and often exposure is key for students to be open-minded and accepting of diversity. She said freshman students should be exposed to different world views, but it’s hard to change people’s minds in an hour. “We are surrounded by religion, but we are not often trying to either see it or know how to interpret it,” Layton said. “(But) these courses were very valuable to understand oneself as a citizen of the world.”
significant increase of gun violence. Frost said the University campus has not experienced any threat involving guns. However, the police are prepared to take action. “These incidents are not happening on campus,” he said. “Whatever affects the community, affects us.“ Griffet mentioned that gun violence is an indicator of changing times. Gun violence was not as prominent in the past as it is now. “I think it’s safe to say when you look at our society today, you know there used to be a day and a time where two people had a disagreement. They usually went out in the schoolyard and got into a fist fight and picked up the other per-
son, knocked the dust off them and resolved it and went about their way,” he said. While there is no distinct pattern for the shots heard, Griffet and Frost mentioned that there are people that serve as possible suspects due to past crime. Griffet said the police is doing anything possible to prevent incidents involving gunfire from happening. Since then, another shooting was reported around 11 p.m. on April 23 in the 2000 block of Moreland Boulevard. A woman was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm.

Run or Dye race rescheduled for early October
A ‘late-night’ dinner and a show
Race to be held in Rantoul; organizers don’t get permission to use UI campus DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Kelasia Karmikal performs during a drag show hosted by the Urbana South Sexuality and Gender Alliance on Thursday. The show was held at the Pennsylvania Avenue Dining Hall during “late night” dining hours.
The Run or Dye race scheduled for May 10 has been canceled because of complications with obtaining permission to use University property. Run or Dye is a 5K race held in cities all across the country that incorporates throwing different colors of dye at the runners competing. The course for this year’s race was scheduled to run through both campus and Champaign property. According to campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler, the organizers of the race did not initially approach the Facility Management and Scheduling office to get permission to use campus property. “When we learned of the race course and that it involved campus streets and campus parking lots, our FMS office reached out to the organizers and told them they have get
permission to use the property,” Kaler said. Organizers for the race were notified on March 6 that they did not receive permission to use campus property, according to a press release from the city of Champaign. “By the time they connected with the University, it was too late to create any kind of contract that would adhere to campus policies for an event of that magnitude on that date,” Kaler said. Champaign city officials told the organizers they were still open to hosting the race if the organizers were willing to reschedule it for a later date, according to the press release. The Run or Dye race has been rescheduled, but it will no longer take place in Champaign. The new date for the event is set for October 14 at the Rantoul National Aviation Center, according to a blog post on the event’s website.
Education activist persists in fight over illegal school fees BY STEPHEN CEASAR MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
SAN DIEGO — As Sally Smith strode to the lectern, a few people in the audience rolled their eyes. Behind their nameplates, members of the San Diego school board fiddled with a cellphone, stared at laptops and rustled papers. They knew what she would say — she’s said it dozens of times and repeats it at nearly every meeting. “In this district,” she said firmly, her eyes fixed squarely on the board members facing her, “ ... we have educators who exploit students to generate revenue.” The ceramics teacher who charges $20 if students want to keep their clay art projects? That’s illegal, Smith contends. “Taxpayers paid for this toothpick and noodles,” she said, pointing to a brooch on her blouse that her daughter made in elementary school. “Just as we paid for that clay.” “It has to stop,” she said, her words punctuated by a buzzer indicating that her speaking time was over. With the persistence of a gadfly, the zeal of a civil rights activist and the know-how of a lawyer, Smith has made it her mission to challenge the San Diego public school system and many others across California that require students to foot the bill for basic school activities. She bounces around the state meeting with administrators.
She blasts off emails to reporters — often a hodgepodge of legal complaints, case law and bemusement at those who try to ignore her. In about a year, she’s filed 200 formal complaints around the state, a huge number of appeals and countless California Public Record Act requests. The San Diego Unified School District gets the brunt of her focus. “There are times where I think you can say she can be considered an irritant,” school board member Scott Barnett said. “Certainly, some of the legal staff — given the amount, the breadth and depth of her requests — I think are irritated at times, to say the least.” Smith’s home, where her family frequently finds her typing complaints late into the night in the living room, is only a quick trip to the district offices, where mostly everyone knows her — or at least knows of her. Some parents, however, are fierce critics, accusing her of ruining school activities for their children, she said. She said her car has been vandalized at district headquarters, and she quips that a brick through her window wouldn’t surprise her. “I’m not well liked,” she said, her waist-length brown hair tucked behind her ears. Then again, she said, “I’m not in this battle to make friends. I’m in it to help those kids who can’t pay.”
In 1879, California’s Constitution granted “free school” for its citizens. The state Supreme Court would later find that fees charged for educational and extracurricular activities violated the state’s guarantee of a free education. “Access to public education is a right enjoyed by all — not a commodity for sale,” the state Supreme Court said in a decision in 1984. Smith’s activism grew from her own frustration over what she saw as a trampling of that right. One afternoon in 1997, her daughter, who was in seventh grade, arrived home from school excited about a class trip to a popular science camp near Big Bear. Everyone in her grade was going, she said. But Smith found out that wasn’t the case. Only those who could afford the $300 price tag could attend, and that left out six classmates. Smith took a hard line: If other kids couldn’t go, her daughter wouldn’t either. Instead, she bought the class materials to hold their own science camp. They made papier-mache volcanoes that spewed baking-soda and vinegar lava. “The kids that went on the trip were jealous of us,” said Jessica Baris, Smith’s daughter, now 27. Smith, 55, knew then that this was an issue she couldn’t let go of. Today, she can recite dozens of examples in which she

Medical school on Urbana campus will prove valuable
ADAM ZYGLIS THE BUFFALO NEWS
On
Friday, April 18, Chancellor Phyllis Wise announced the possibility of developing an engineering-based medical college on the Urbana-Champaign campus — something we hope will come to fruition. If created, the school would be developed by the University and Carle Health System, located in Urbana, and open in 2017. This would replace the UIC-affiliated College of Medicine on this campus, which currently offers a limited curriculum, including a first-year basic medical science program and the Medical Scholars Program. The addition of this college would not rival the university’s main medical school located on the Chicago campus, but, instead, act as a supplement to it. And the concentration of each medical school would be different, which is why we believe the addition would be immensely beneficial. Using the large amount of engineering and bioscience research already coming out of our campus, the medical school would be the first of its kind, with a primary focus on the combination of engineering, computing, health sciences and medicine. In addition to making our campus more attractive to potential students interested in medicine and engineering, the addition of this college would allow us to pioneer advances in biomedical engineering and, in turn, revolutionize medicine and hopefully save the lives of more patients. Engineers at the university, in a partnership with Northwestern, have already developed small, yet sophisticated, stick-on health monitors that stretch and move with human skin. Or consider the heartcell-propelled sperm-like biobots created by a team at Illinois led by Professor Taher Saif that could be a basis for future means of performing minimally invasive surgeries or spotting disease. With a new facility to house these sorts of projects, we can hopefully harbor more of these prominent technologies that hold vast potential for the future. Although the development of this college would come at a cost — hundreds of millions of dollars — the benefits are obvious. That said, the project might not rely on state funding, should the University and Carle choose to pursue a private corporate structure, as recommended by Tripp Umbach, the consulting firm commissioned to report on the new college’s feasibility. Instead, Tripp Umbach recommended that the venture rely on private donors for start-up costs and funding a $200 million endowment for the project. Given the state’s current financial situation, we agree that seeking out and raising capital from private sources would be optimal. As a result, we feel that the benefits that come with this potential medical school outweigh monetary concerns held by the opposition. With so many inventions and ideas already coming out of the University, just imagine what could be done with additional resources and facilities fully committed to such endeavors.
Taking classes outside your major can be valuable for life EMMA GOODWIN Opinions columnist
B
efore coming to college, one of my favorite teachers gave me the book “1,001 Things That Every College Student Needs to Know� by Harry H. Harrison Jr. Because I’m the oldest child in my family, I didn’t learn any necessary skills from siblings, so I scoured the book, taking mental notes on everything that seemed particularly important. The two tips I found most interesting were 573 (“Signing up for your school’s most bizarre class could keep you interested in staying in school�) and 578 (“Take some classes that have nothing to do with your core or major ... such a class could change your entire attitude toward college�). As an English major with minors in political science and cinema studies, I try to make an effort to take classes that, like the book said, really have nothing to do with my fields of study but have everything to do with being fun, interesting and engaging. And I think others should do the same. I’ve taken two such classes so far, and they have served as small additions to my schedule. Human Sexuality (CHLH 206) was two credit hours and my Social Issues Group Dialogues (EPSY 203) was only one. Neither of them directly related to my disciplines, but they still proved valuable. Ideally, each class we take should teach us more than what’s written in its textbook — whether that’s time management or how to
arrange flowers (because there is a class on that). But when you concentrate exclusively on taking classes related to your major, you’ll likely sharpen the tools in your box rather than adding new ones to it. These extra classes that I was fortunate enough to take armed me with great critical thinking skills and the ability to effectively communicate. They also taught me things that I wouldn’t typically learn while analyzing literature (which I do love to do). English classes probably won’t teach me about current issues involving disability discrimination like EPSY 203 did. Nor will they have forums held by members of the LGBTQ community like CHLH did. Had I not taken these classes, I would be lost on the social issues they taught me about. They provided environments where I was inspired to learn about things that I might not get the chance to otherwise or in the future. The classes that I’m talking about aren’t exclusively Gen-Eds (which can be really enticing if you choose wisely), and they’re not mindless blow-off classes. These are classes that people should be taking solely because learning is really fun and valuable, which seems to be a secret that hasn’t been revealed to the entire community yet. I did some exploring regarding the classes that are offered here, and while I always think there could be more (I would really like a class surrounding The Beatles — just throwing that out there), I was pretty impressed. The University offers drawing and painting for nonart-majors (ART 102 and 103, respectively), a class exploring the Japanese Tea Ceremony
(ARTD 209), Vegetable Gardening (HORT 105) and American Cinema Since 1950 (MACS 273). That’s just naming a few. While I’m a student here, I intend to fit as many of these classes, and others, in my schedule as I can. They offer the opportunity to expand the brain and explore different disciplines in new and interesting ways — a privilege we sometimes only have in college. I won’t be able to take one of these classes every semester, but with time management and some pre-planning, I’ll be able to take some here and there. Once we graduate, we’re going to be spending the rest of our lives in jobs that probably have something to do with our majors. Later in life, there probably won’t be many chances to take classes on Japanese tea. But one day, if every farm in America magically vanishes and the produce aisles are left empty, you might remember the skills you learned in HORT 105. You could potentially feed your family using the last remaining vegetable garden in the country: the one in your back yard. I know college is expensive and students are busy. But if there’s a topic that you enjoy that’s outside of your major, there’s no time like the present to explore it. A lot of interesting classes are only two hours, some of them just one. They fit into your schedule and challenge your way of thinking. They expand our minds in ways that our majors might not. And with registration upon us, if you have a spot in your fall schedule, I urge you to try some out.

Being alone creates an important relationship with yourself KATE CULLEN Opinions columnist
L
oneliness scares me. Not because I am insecure or concerned with what people think of me, but because I genuinely enjoy the company of others and would prefer to converse with someone else rather than be left alone with my own thoughts. For the past four years, I have lived with my girlfriends and rarely have had a moment to myself, which I love. Whether it’s relaxing on the couch and catching up on the latest trash TV, doing much-needed laundry or experimenting with new recipes — I am rarely alone. So in an effort to confront my fear, I did something outside of my comfort zone: I went to a restaurant and ate a meal completely alone. To many, this may seem like no great feat, but for someone who calls their family members to keep them company during their walks to and from class, it’s a big deal. I chose a popular Chinese restaurant on Green Street that I knew would have plenty of foot traffic during the lunch hour. I wanted to prove to myself that I could confidently sit at a table and consume a meal without looking across the table to someone for reassurance or conversation. I sat down at the table for two and told the waitress it would be just me today. She responded by leaving me the menu and time to contem-
plate my order. When she returned, I ordered my food and waited patiently for it to be served. At this point, I would normally have turned to a friend and asked her about the details of her day. But with no one to turn to, I redirected that question at myself. I thought about what I had done already and what I was planning to do later that day. I had gone to work in the morning and attended class during the afternoon. Later, I hoped to squeeze a run in before one of my nightly meetings. I then considered what I could have done better throughout my day. For instance, I could have woken up earlier to run, giving myself more time to do my homework in the afternoon. My self reflection during this short period allowed me to consider how I could improve myself, which is valuable for anyone to think about. Who can’t use a little self-improvement? But my thoughts were interrupted when my food arrived. I began to eat, completely aware of the people around me sitting with their dining companions. I noticed a couple across the room sitting together on the same side of the booth and quietly laughed to myself because, of course, they could not bear to be separated by the dining table. Next to me, there was table of professors huddled over their food, deep in conversation. Each of them wore a serious look on their face as they nodded in agreement with what the other was saying. And as I ate, I realized that I was not alone — there were people all around me. I did not need anyone to sit across the table from me because I actually enjoyed those moments of solitude that
allowed me to reflect and observe those around me. With my newfound confidence in my solidarity, I looked around and wondered why there were barely any people alone. Perhaps it was because people are afraid of the stigma attached to dining alone. Or maybe they were like I used to be; maybe they have not yet realized that being alone and being lonely are two very different things, which is what I learned during my lunch. Loneliness is what you feel when you have no one to turn to, while being alone is simply taking time to take care of yourself, either mentally or physically. It’s important for students to take the time to be alone because having a relationship with yourself is just as valuable as having relationships with others. I have wonderful people in my life, who I know I can always rely on, but on my lunch outing, I realized that I need to take more time to be alone. You can get lost in the constant chatter of life and forget that you need time for yourself. If I am constantly focusing on others, there is no way I can focus on myself, but this is something I’m working on, and eating alone was the first step. I paid my bill, thanked my waitress and left the restaurant to finish the rest of my day. I left feeling content because I learned that the best company you keep is the company you keep with yourself.

‘Life Itself’ honors Ebert’s incredible life DECLAN HARTY Assistant features editor
To
criticize a fi lm about the life of the, arguably, most famous film critic, Roger Ebert, would be the epitome of irony. But “Life Itself,” the film documentary based on Ebert’s memoirs, has no room for criticism. The film, directed by Steve James, who has long been supported by Ebert in films like “Hoop Dreams” , opened Ebertfest on Wednesday night to a nearly sold out crowd. The film premiered in January at the Sundance Film Festival and is scheduled for distribution later this year. The film documents the final four months of Ebert’s life, highlighting some of the most iconic and memorable moments. Kicking off Ebertfest, the film was the perfect beginning for the festival and tribute to Ebert, whom the festival is dedicated to this year. But it captures much more than just Ebert’s life. The film simply sums up life in general, and the emotions that accompany it. Though I am only a 20-year-old college student, “Life Itself” brought not just Ebert’s joys and pains to the screen, but everyone in the audience’s emotions to the screen. James builds Ebert’s story through the lens of his family, friends, fellow film reviewers and, most importantly, Ebert himself. Interchanging between James’s
camera, interviews and pictures from Ebert’s childhood, James masterfully packs the emotions that many endure throughout their life. From Ebert’s youth consisting of growing up in Urbana, writing for the News-Gazette and eventually becoming the editor-in-chief of The Daily Illini, the audience is able to grasp the changing personality of someone that was trying to find himself as most 20-something-year-olds do, myself included. But the balance in the film between moments of joy and heartache is what so accurately depicts life. It wasn’t just Ebert’s life that James used to show the image. A large majority of the film was dedicated to the relationship between the late Gene Siskel and Ebert. The film critics infamously joined forces in 1986 for their television program, “Siskel and Ebert and the Movies.” Though both represented the Midwest and stood tall in Chicago, their relationship and show was initially a struggle because they did not get along. As rivals from the Chicago Tribune and the Sun-Times, the two argued often, to say the least. And even though, Ebert frequently bragged that he had a Pulitzer Prize, and Siskel used his wit to counter this, their relationship evolved from rivals to friends. James captures this idea through an image that stuck with me. It was a brief outtake from the opening scene of an episode, and take after take after take, Siskel and Ebert continued to bicker like an old married couple. It was moments like Siskel’s death and Ebert’s strug-
gles with alcohol and rehab that made life the center of the movie for me, because in life and movies, death, pain and sadness all play a part. Audience members cried to these struggles, but the brilliance of James and Ebert was to capture not just these moments, but also the ones that follow them. Another crafted moment by James in the film is the lack of transitional periods from joyous moments to sadness and grief. In the film, James never breaks from the consistency that is life. From one minute the tears that accompany Ebert’s struggles in rehab switch to smiles that join the upbeat tempo of Steely Dan’s “Reelin’ in the Years” that Ebert plays on his laptop. The film’s portrayal of Ebert was the most fascinating part though — he was not a perfect human, as no one is. As the film’s run time progressed, the crowd continued to live the life of Ebert from a cocky 21-year-old editorin-chief to an alcoholic, then from a Pulitzer Prize winner and rival to a friend, loving husband and grandfather. But quite frankly, Ebert cannot be described in words. But “Life Itself” was able to capture the movie that was Roger Ebert. As Ebert said in his memoirs: “I was born inside the movie of my life. The visuals were before me, the audio surrounded me, the plot unfolded inevitably but not necessarily. I don’t remember how I got into the movie, but it continues to entertain me.”

‘Goodbye solo’ features an unlikely bond ELISEO ELIZARRARAZ
ers at his taxi fi rm to assign all of William’s rides to him. Solo is a charismatic man simply trying to make it in life. Though he is determined to give up his cab and become a flight attendant, Solo faces opposition from his spouse, Quiera, played by Carmen Leyva. Solo is also supported by the rather warm and childish cheerleading from his stepdaughter, Alex, who is used as a voice of innocence throughout the film. The film is not a study of the two men though. Instead, it is an examination of who they are at the present time. Solo’s 21st century warm vernacular is juxtaposed by William’s closed-off, southern demeanor. But their relationship is something that develops like the relationship between an old, tired dog and an eager, playful puppy. Through his eagerness to learn and understand more about William, Solo is pushed back by the ever-grumpy southerner, who the audience never really learns much about. But this is not necessary. Instead, the audience can take what it can from the film through the film’s transcendental scenes, the interaction between the two men and the gradual but evident change in the characters. Bahrani is known for exploring themes such as immigrant struggles, as was the case with his first two films “Man Push Cart,” which is the story of a Pakistani rock star who sells

“Americans can get so caught up in technology,” Kleiner said. “In Bulgaria, they are more relaxed, laid back. And they are so genuine and sweet to Americans and foreigners.” Spending summers abroad let Kleiner interact with a variety of different people and gain cultural awareness. “International exposure as a young kid allowed me to realize that everyone is the same, no matter where you are from,” Kleiner said. Kleiner knew when he was applying to schools his senior year that he wanted to attend a university with a good computer science program. Kleiner got a good feeling from the University after making a visit last March. “It had Midwestern hospitality. I came from a very small high school and (the University of Illinois) had lots of opportunities to try new things,” Kleiner said. He was especially impressed
by fellow engineers talking about their experiences and opportunities at the University. But when Kleiner is not focusing on his studies or extracurricular activites, he enjoys imitating his friends’ mannerisms and voices. Kleiner began imitating when he took karate in Houston as a child. He imitated his instructor and his mom thought it was so funny that she videotaped it. From there, Kleiner has continued imitating people for fun. “During live-in week, we all had to live in one room and (Kleiner) imitated all of us, the way we talked and the hand motions,” Tebarak said. Overall, Kleiner is just a people person. “I love being around people. I love hearing about people’s backgrounds and relating to them. It’s fascinating,” Kleiner said.

Joshua Nixdorf, sophomore in LAS, said if he could choose any book to be featured in the show, he would pick “In the Garden of Beasts,” a nonfiction book by Erik Larson about an American ambassador and his family living in Hitler’s Germany. “The cover is not that special but the read is really good,” Nix-
dorf said. “It has lots of (literary) elements to it so it reads like fiction.” Hubbart said students should attend the event because they can see a wide range of works of literature from trade books to scholarly books. “There are all different types, and it is nice to see what the University of Illinois and other universities are publishing,” Hubbart said.

F
rom the get-go, Ramin Bahrani’s moving third feature film, “Goodbye Solo,” (2008) illustrates a powerful story about two men on the opposite spectrum of life. The movie begins with a conversation between a warm and cheery black taxi driver, who is offered a unnerving proposition by a significantly older irritable white man. Solo, played by Souleymane Sy Savane, is an optimistic Senegalese cab driver in the burnt-out city of WinstonSalem, N.C. Solo, who is looking to get a slice of the American Dream, picks up a grumpy white southerner named William, who is played by Red West, in his taxi. One of the most compelling scenes of the film comes during the opening. William offers Solo a large sum of money to take him to a place called Blowing Rock, which is way into the mountains. William asks, it would seem, with no intention of returning. Solo then asks William, “What are you going to do, jump off?” When William responds with an unnerving silence, the coils of film that are set to subtly explore the human connection become undone. Solo is too intrigued by William to leave him alone, though, and asks the dispatch-

KLEINER bond with Maloney about entering the business world. Kleiner is considering consulting as his future career path, while Maloney is also considering entrepreneurship. Maloney tries to help Kleiner balance his work with his extracurricular activities. “He’s very ambitious and often puts too much on his plate. I try to advise him that he’ll crash and burn, but he just hits the ground running. He’s very driven and personable,” Maloney said. Kleiner, unlike many University students, is not from the state of Illinois. Kleiner grew up in Houston, Texas, and moved to Washington D.C. at age nine. During his summers, Kleiner would spend time in Bulgaria, his mother’s home country. Kleiner likes the relaxed atmosphere of Bulgaria.

BOOKS These include “Everyday Technology: Machines and the Making of India’s Modernity” by David Arnold from the University of Chicago Press and “Alternative Medicine” by Rafael Campo from the Duke University Press. Arnold’s book is being featured in the scholarly typographic category and Campo’s book is being featured for its poetry and lit-
bagels from a food vending cart, and “Chop Shop,” which tells the story of a 12-year-old orphan working in the scrap yards of Queens, N.Y. However, with these heavy subject matters, the underlying stories are a simple examination of how people live within their environments. This, in turn, opens the door for people to achieve a self-reflective state. The acting itself is simple and colloquial, with unknown indie actors playing big roles in real-life settings. They are thrust into compelling and intricately woven stories. “Goodbye Solo” is no different. In fact, the real background stories of the male actors parallel the lives of the characters they are portraying in the film. Souleymane Sy Savane is an Ivorian immigrant who never landed an acting job until 10 years after he had arrived in the United States. Additionally, Red West was Elvis Presley’s long time bodyguard, once breaking the foot of Presley’s drug supplier. In choosing these actors, Bahrani opens a very realistic window into the lives of the characters, overall justifying Ebert’s praise that this film is indeed “a force of nature!”

The Many Impressions of
Allen Kleiner GREEK OF THE WEEK
Freshman engineer balances a cappella, life in 2 fraternities BY MARA SHAPIRO STAFF WRITER
Freshman in Engineering Allen Kleiner knew he wanted to rush a fraternity prior to arriving on campus. However, he didn’t expect to feel so welcomed by the brothers of Theta Chi. “I didn’t expect how we were treated as well as we were here,� Kleiner said. “Seniors made the effort. The older guys were willing to hang out with you and be your friends. They’re just like you and are always willing to share their experiences.� Kleiner chose to rush Theta Chi because he was living in Hopkins Hall, which is near the fraternity on 103 E. Gregory Dr. He and a few friends who he rushed with would always see the guys having a good time and he felt that he would fit in well there. Tomas Tebarek, fellow Theta Chi brother
and freshman in DGS, enjoys Kleiner for his humorous personality. “He’s caring. As the Scholarship Chair, if you’re struggling in school, he will help you get on your feet. He’s the best beatboxer I’ve ever heard. He’ll be walking around and randomly start beatboxing. Guys will join in, one of the brothers will play the piano at the same time. He’s just a positive person to be around,� Tebarak said. Besides being the Scholarship Chair of his fraternity, Kleiner is a pledge for the business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi, a member of the a capella group No Comment and a member of the registered student organization the Association of Computing Machinery, all while balancing his rigorous computer science engineering course load. While Kleiner’s schedule keeps him busy, he manages to balance all his activities and school work, even if that means starting a lot of his assignments early. However, he is still able to find time to unwind. “I do enjoy programming in my free time. I make websites and applets. I also enjoy watching TV (and) things typical college kids do. I also have supportive friends,� Kleiner said. Kleiner knew he wanted to become a part
of a singing group on campus even though he wasn’t involved in any choir or singing groups in high school. In August, Kleiner joined No Comment as a beatboxer for the group. Kleiner enjoyed the recent 10-year anniversary show the group put on and liked meeting all the visiting alumni. He is looking forward to visiting high schools in the state with the group over the summer. He listens to a variety of genres in his free time, including hiphop, R&B and rap. Kleiner especially liked performing “Mother We Share� by Chvrches with No Comment because it has a techno feel. Dirk Maloney, fellow No Comment member and junior in Business, values Kleiner’s membership in the group. “He’s a very unique member as our beatboxer. In the past, it’s been a taught skill. He’s the first non-singer we brought into the group. He’s that good. He has good technique,� Maloney said. Maloney explained that Kleiner dedicates himself to the group by looking up a capella performances on YouTube in order to brush up on skills. Even though Kleiner studies computer science engineering, he shares a

UI Press hosting traveling show featuring award-winning books BY ANNABETH CARLSON STAFF WRITER
an email that the showcased books are submitted and chosen by members of the AAUP from November until January. In February, members of the Book, Jacket and Journal show committee select the best entries. According to the AAUP’s website, 263 books, 330 jacket and cover designs and four journals were entered for consideration for this year’s event. After the selections are chosen, the books are first displayed at the AAUP annual meeting in New Orleans and then the display travels to the different member presses and other interested institutions from September until May, according to Miller. The show has also visited institutes like Yale University, New York University and University of Wisconsin.
The exhibit also visits locations besides college campuses such as the National Gallery of Art, where the display will be shown in June. The 2012 Book, Jacket and Journal show featured two covers designed from UI Press books: “Sonic Persuasion: Reading Sound in the Recorded Age� by Greg Goodale and “From Jim Crow to Jay-Z: Race, Rap, and the Performance of Masculinity� by Miles White. Even though the 2014 winners do not include books from the U of I Press, there are still 62 books featured for their content or covers from universities across the nation.

Earlier in 2013, 608 collections of literary work were submitted by university presses across the country to the Association of American University Presses. Out of these entries, just 95 were chosen to be featured at the AAUP’s Book, Jacket and Journal show, which will begin on campus Monday. Hosted by the University of Illinois Press, the show will be open to the public until May 9 at the UI Press Building, located at 1325 S. Oak St. in Champaign. The show will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. According to Kim Miller, office manager and program administrator at the
AAUP, the expedition features books, jackets and journals that are being recognized for achievement in their design, production or manufacturing. “(The show) gets the word out and showcases the book covers and books from university presses across the United States,� said Dustin Hubbart, art director at the UI Press and coordinator of the event. At the event, people can expect to see over 50 books in different categories, according to Hubbart. “(The books) are all great — the best of university presses right now,� Hubbart said. Miller explained that the annual show has been around since 1965. She wrote in

Indiana tops Illinois twice
Illini drop weekend finale despite their early lead BY J.J. WILSON STAFF WRITER
Ryan Castellanos had more nerves when he faced Indiana the first time than in Sunday afternoon’s 11-3 loss. He won last year’s contest 3-2 for Illinois, earning him his first win in his first start as a college pitcher. His nerves didn’t bother him as much this year, either. And rightly so, with 14 more starts and six more wins since he first faced the Hoosiers last April, Castellanos is a much more experienced pitcher than he was a year ago. Still, he would have much rather had last year’s result after being pulled in the fourth inning with three walks and six runs allowed. “I wish I could have today back for sure,� he said. “But that’s
baseball, you can’t let it sit with you too long.� Before Sunday, Castellanos led the NCAA with one walk in 40 2/3 innings pitched — a statistic he prides himself on. He began the series finale by giving up a base hit to the first batter and walking the second. The Hoosiers then grounded into a double play in their next atbat, but with one runner on second, Scott Donley hit a two-run homer, putting Indiana up 2-0. Illinois capitalized on Indiana’s poor pitching in the third inning, scoring three runs and going up 3-2. Casey Fletcher led off the third and took a base after the fifth pitch from Indiana’s Brian Korte hit him. Ryne Roper didn’t let Fletcher stay on first for long, tripling
into left center on the next pitch to bring in the Illini’s first run. Korte hit the following batter, Michael Hurwitz, with a pitch and surrendered two more runs and a hit before escaping the inning on a pop up to shortstop. Before Sunday, Korte had hit just four batters in his four-year career. “They were a good club with good arms, but they weren’t anything we hadn’t seen before,� Krug said. By the top of the fifth, though, the Hoosiers were following the Illini’s example at the plate. After Castellanos walked the first batter, Indiana doubled, singled and homered to score four runs and end the Illini starter’s day on the mound. Reliever J.D. Nielsen allowed
“I wish I could have today back for sure, but that’s baseball, you can’t let it sit with you too long.�

Women’s tennis comes up short in quarterfinals
Tennis falls to Buckeyes at Big Ten tournament
Illini’s loss leaves participation in NCAA tournament up in the air
BY BRETT LERNER STAFF WRITER
Championship Sunday at the Big Ten Tournament left an alltoo-familiar aftertaste in the mouths of No. 12 Illinois men’s tennis and its head coach Brad Dancer. The appearance in the championship match was Illinois’ seventh in the nine seasons that Dancer has been at the helm. Although the Illini have made regular appearances in the Big Ten final, Dancer has captured only one conference title in the seven appearances. The road block to Illinois earning more championships in those situations has stayed the same: No. 2 Ohio State. The Buckeyes brought home eight of the last nine conference championships. Ohio State won the match 4-2, picking up their second victory over the Illini this season. The Illini were both hoping and expecting to see the Buckeyes in the tournament championship match, and their wish was granted. The result, however, wasn’t what Illinois had envisioned. “We were just disappointed. We felt we had an opportunity, and it felt like Ohio State just did a better job than we did preparing for today and certainly
Catcher Jenna Mychko’s final hit at Eichelberger field came at the most critical time. Illinois was staging a comeback. Down 6-2 at one point to No. 4 Michigan, the team had rallied back to pull within one run heading into the bottom of the seventh when Mychko came up to bat. “I just told myself that I was getting on base no matter what,� Mychko said. “I didn’t care what it took. I was going to get on base.� The Illini were looking for their first Big Ten series win of the season after getting an upset mercy rule victory on Friday night. Michigan returned the favor with a mercy rule win of its own in the first game of a double header on Saturday. Mychko hit a double to left field to put the Illini in position to tie the game in the rubber match, but the comeback fell apart during the next at-bat. On sophomore Remeny Perez’s groundout back to the pitcher, pinch runner Danielle Trezzo came too far off the bag at second. The first baseman made the throw to second for the close tag as Trezzo dove back to the bag. The umpire originally called her safe but then overturned the call, much to the dismay of Illinois head coach Terri Sullivan. Sullivan was thrown out of the game after a lengthy argument with the umpires. In the final at-bat, junior Jess Perkins was unable to get a hit and the Illini fell by a score of 6-5 to the Wolverines. Although Sullivan was not available for comment following the game, assistant coach Katie O’Connell echoed the sentiment of the coaches and players, feeling that the call should not have been overturned. “I thought it wasn’t fair to take the game out of the hands of the players,� O’Connell said. “They made a call, and I thought it should have stayed that way.� Although she was upset with how the game ended, O’Connell added that the team did miss opportunities to take the lead earlier when the Illini had the bases loaded, but weren’t able to score enough runs to grab the lead. It was an up-and-down weekend for Illinois. The Illini came out with high energy in the series opener, looking to shock the

Illinois' Jared Hiltzik hits the ball during the match against No. 8 Texas at Atkins Tennis Center on Feb. 9. in the moment today,� Dancer said. The Illini rolled through the tournament before their showdown with Ohio State. They beat Indiana 4-1 in the quarterfinals, and Michigan 4-0 in the semifinals. Other than their loss to Ohio State, Illinois picked up only one other Big Ten loss in the regular season. That loss came against Penn State and happened only because of a lineup protest; the Illini didn’t get a chance to avenge the loss to Penn State, as the Nittany Lions were upset by Michigan in the quarterfinals. The Illini fell victim to an issue they’ve been fighting an uphill battle with all season: doubles. Illinois won the doubles point in their first two matches of the tournament against Indiana
and Michigan but couldn’t get the job done in the championship match. Dancer didn’t feel the team played with enough energy or purpose in doubles all tournament, and that caught up with the Illini in the finals. They dropped the doubles point against Ohio State. In singles, the Illini were anchored by the top of their lineup throughout the weekend. Big Ten Player of the Year No. 17 Farris Gosea and All-Big Ten first team selection No. 8 Jared Hiltzik both went undefeated over the weekend. Hiltzik’s game seems to be back at full strength after progressively working back from a wrist injury. He defeated Ohio State’s No. 7 Peter Kobelt in singles. “I have more confidence than I did before, so now I think I’ll
be able to have better practices and just improve my game that much more,� Hiltzik said. Dancer and his squad will now have to set their sights on the NCAA championships, in which they will likely host the first two rounds. While another second place finish in the conference has caused frustration, the Ohio State match can be a learning tool for the Illini. “If we can’t beat Ohio State in a neutral setting, then we’re not there yet. If that’s not motivation enough for our guys to come back and lock down their finals and prepare as hard as they can for NCAAs, then I don’t know what is,� Dancer said.

The Illinois women’s tennis team came into the Big Ten tournament feeling pressured to win at least two matches and keep their NCAA hopes alive. After breezing past Nebraska in the first round, the Illini failed to meet their goal, falling 4-2 to Purdue in the quarterfinals on Friday. “Now we just await our fate,� head coach Michelle Dasso said. Illinois dominated defending Big Ten tournament champions Nebraska on Thursday, picking up a 4-0 win just eleven days after the Illini defeated the Cornhuskers in the regular season. Illinois took the doubles point as senior Misia Kedzierski and freshman Louise Kwong beat Hannah Sulz and Lisa Andersson 8-2, and senior Allison Falkin and junior Melissa Kopinski defeated Maggy Lehmicke and Mary Hanna 8-4. Freshmen Alexis Casati and Jerricka Boone had a 7-3 lead over Izabella Zgierska and Maike Zeppernick in the unfinished set . In singles, Kopinski defeated Hanna, Boone took down Ander-
sson and Casati beat Zgierska, all in straight sets. Falkin and Kedzierski also had leads in their respective matches when Casati finished off Zgeirska to end the match. The win was the fourth straight for Illinois as Nebraska finished the season with its thirteenth straight loss. After Thursday’s matches was the Big Ten Tournament Banquet, at which season awards were presented. Falkin was named to the AllBig Ten team for the third time in her career, marking the fourteenth consecutive year at least one Illini had been so honored. Kwong received Illinois’ sportsmanship award. In Friday’s quarterfinal match, the Illini attempted to avenge their regular season loss to Purdue, and got off to a good start, taking a 2-0 lead. “We were feeling really good coming into the match,� Kopinski said. “We’d been practicing hard all week, and Nebraska was a great match.� Illinois won the doubles point easily, as Boone and Casati defeated Krisztina Kapitany and Natalia Davila 8-3 and

Illinois men’s track and field races to 1st at Drake Relays Illinois ties with Arkansas, wins Hy-Vee Cup for 2nd straight year BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER
The Illini men’s track and field team watched some of the best athletes in the world compete at the 105th Drake Relays this weekend. Besides collegiate competitors, the Drake Relays featured Olympians and world championship-caliber athletes. But the world’s best couldn’t steal the show from the Illini, who put on one of their best performances of the year and claimed a share of the Hy-Vee Cup. “We watched them all, we studied them like we had a test on them the next day,� said sprinter Stephon Pamilton, who ran on the third place 4x100 meter relay and on the second place 4x400 meter relay. “It was great to run into the people that you one day want to be.� The Illini shared the track not only with world-class athletes, but also some of the top teams in the NCAA. The weekend provided the Illini the opportunity to jump into that conversation as one of those top NCAA teams. “It’s an opportunity to go out there and show we’re not just a little team in the Midwest or up in the North that’s got a couple of sprinters or a couple of distance guys,� head coach Mike Turk said. “We’ve got a pretty good, deep squad, and we’re not going to back down from anybody.� This marked the second year for the Hy-Vee Cup at the Drake
Relays, a trophy based on five relay events: the 4x100, 4x400, 4x800, sprint medley and distance medley relays. The Illini shared the title with Arkansas after winning it outright last year. Turk said the meet director had told him he was bringing in more competition to make the cup more highly contested. The Illini’s standard relay teams, the 4x100 ranked 11th, and the 4x400, ranked ninth, have been strong all year. The 4x100 team of Julian Smith, Brandon Stryganek, Pamilton and DJ Zahn took third place. Arkansas edged them out by just thousandths of a second to take second place. The 4x400 featured a relay squad of Zahn, Joe McAsey, Kenneth Allen and Pamilton and fell to Arkansas by less than a second. The sprint medley team took second to Georgia by 0.16 seconds, the distance medley team was third behind UTEP and Washington, while the 4x800 meter relay came in third to Washington and Arkansas. Turk said the Illini had several close fi nishes that could have given the team a chance to beat the Razorbacks outright, but the Illini’s performance against Arkansas — one of the top programs in collegiate track — shows how far the program has come. Pamilton said he considered the Illini right up with all of the
other strong teams that competed at the meet. “Everybody is ranked, No. 4 and No. 3 and No. 15 in the country. We just feel like we’re just a group of guys coming out to put on a show,� he said. The Illini also had some standout performances in individual events that were not part of HyVee Cup scoring. Vanier Joseph faced off against Indiana State’s Greggmar Swift again and defeated him in the 110-meter hurdles. Joseph’s win was a defense of his title at last year’s Drake Relays. Fellow hurdler Cam Viney took third in the 400-meter hurdles, behind only No. 1 Michael Stigler of Kansas and No. 3 Miles Ukaoma of Nebraska. The race continues the sophomore’s impressive outdoor season. The success the team had with the unique format of the Hy-Vee Cup gives the Illini a chance to showcase their depth, according to Turk. “It’s not just about having some good sprinters, you have to have a good deep pool of talent in your sprints squad and in your middle distance and distance squads,� Turk said. “We were able to put those lineups together and represent across the board.� BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Women’s golf team places 5th at Big Tens

highly ranked Wolverines. Sullivan wanted her players to use more cheers from the dugout to encourage their teammates during their at-bats. The strategy worked as the Illini had 14 hits and 10 runs to blow out Michigan 10-2 after 6 innings in the opener. It was the highest ranked opponent the Illini have defeated in school history. Junior Brittany Sanchez led the team with three RBIs and went 3-for-4 on the day.
FROM 1B
another two hits but closed out the inning with no further damage, leaving the Illini trailing 6-3. Illinois didn’t score for the rest of the game, while Indiana packed on another five runs in the seventh and eighth innings. After more than an hour-long rain delay, Indiana was given the win and Castellanos was pinned with his third loss of the season. Minutes later, the loss was already out of his mind.
“It’s over with,” he said. “I’m done with it.” Friday night showed similar struggles from the Illini mound, giving up nine runs on 13 hits to lose Illinois the opener, 9-3. While pitching improved enough to tie up the series Saturday afternoon, the Illini offense lacked much productivity with seven hits in their 2-1 victory. Those same offensive woes carried over to Sunday, when the Illini managed just three runs on three hits compared with the Hoosiers’ 11 runs on 15 hits. “If you look at today’s game, we got outplayed in all three areas,”
head coach Dan Hartleb said. “We have to play with confidence.” Indiana holds a three-game lead over Illinois at 13-2 in conference play. Even wishing he had a better start Sunday, Castellanos can still tip his cap to the Hoosiers, especially with his Illini still tied with the Nebraska Cornhuskers for second in the Big Ten at 10-5, with nine games left to play. “It’s a blow, but it’s not a fatal blow,” he said “We’re still good.”
“I think we all just came together and felt that we can do this,” Sanchez said on Friday. “It always helps when Michigan is such a huge rivalry for us. With them being ranked and at the top of the Big Ten, we had nothing to lose. So we just went for it, and it worked out for us.” In the second game of the series on Saturday, Michigan tied the series after a strong fourth inning in which it scored six runs. Illinois pitcher Shelese Arnold struggled through 3 1/3 innings, allowing eight runs on eight hits. Freshman Jade
Vecvanags relieved Arnold in the fourth, but couldn’t prevent Michigan from winning the game after six innings by a score of 10-2. Illinois turned to game one’s winning freshman pitcher Brandi Needham for the series fi nale. Needham was coming off a complete game in which she only allowed five hits. While she allowed six runs through two innings, she held Michigan scoreless the rest of the way. Her pitching helped keep the team in the game as it went down to the wire ending with the controversial fi nish.
The fi nal home game of the season wasn’t the one the Illini wanted, but the toughest part for seniors Alex Booker and Mychko was that they weren’t going to get another chance to play a game at Eichelberger field. “It’s been very emotional,” Mychko said. “I love playing for the University of Illinois. I was really happy to come out here and play here with my sisters and compete for this school.”

bined for a 296 round total, the second lowest of the day, led by Ahern’s comeback. The junior scored a 90 in the fi rst round, but had an even 72 in the second round. With such a strong round, the Illini managed to jump five spots in the standings to fourth place. The Illini’s aggression also played a factor in the low round, as it was something they had to improve upon from the fi rst round. “One thing we really, really emphasized, was to be aggressive,” Slone said. “There’s nothing to lose, so play aggressively, especially on the green. We were giving up a little bit too much respect to the greens and were a bit tentative, and so kind of open things up a bit, and we got the putters going there. We rolled in a lot of birdies and a couple of chip-ins too.” On the fi nal day of competition, all six of the golfers scored below 80, but the team total of 301 was still higher than its second round score. They weren’t able to achieve as many birdies as they had in the second round, but the golfers combined for 26 bogeys and only four shots labeled a double bogey or higher. As an individual, Schuldt took sixth overall with a 225, 9-overpar in her fi nal conference championship. “I’m just so, so happy for her,” Slone said of Schuldt. “She has been an incredible person to have on the team. She has just represented us so well, and has been a wonderful teammate and a fi ne representative of not only our golf program, but of the University of Illinois.”

Illinois’ Ryan Nagle slides back to first base after trying to steal second during the game against Indiana at Illinois Field on Friday. The Illini lost 9-3
The Illinois women’s golf team was tied for ninth place following the fi rst round of competition at Big Ten Championships, but the golfers’ progress throughout the weekend resulted in a fi fth place fi nish with a total score of 913. Illinois sent a team consisting of freshmen Stephanie Miller and Emily Joers, juniors Erin Ahern, Jackie Calamaro and Sam Postillion and senior Ember Schuldt to the conference championship. The golfers played three rounds at French Lick Resort’s par-72, 6,017-yard Pete Dye Course in French Lick, Ind. For each round, the top four scores counted toward the Illini’s round total. Friday, the Illini scored their highest numbers of the competition with a round one total of 316 led by Schuldt’s 77, 5-overpar. The six golfers combined for five birdies, 40 bogeys and 10 shots scored a double bogey or higher. Aside from the course itself, the weather conditions also played a factor, particularly on the fi rst day of the competition. “The golf course, itself, is a demanding golf course — even in benign conditions,” head coach Renee Slone said. “It really tests the players both physically and mentally. And then you add on, on top of that, 30 mile per hour winds — and it rained — it makes things a bit challenging, and it showed. It showed in the scores for every single team and every single player in the entire tournament.” In the second round Saturday, the wind was still present, but the rain was gone. The Illini took advantage of that, and posted their lowest scores of the tournament. The team com-

Kedzierski and Kwong handled Claudia Escribens and Nicole Robinson 8-2. Kopinski then defeated Robinson in singles 6-2, 6-1. The Boilermakers would fight back, as Escribens, Kapitany, Andjela Djokovic and Mara Schmidt combined to win four straight matches, giving their team a 4-2 win and ending Illinois’ tournament run. “It was a tough match,” Dasso said. “We played excellent in doubles. I think our girls competed very well and gave everything they could, but we just fell short. Maybe the matchups didn’t favor us.” At No. 37, Illinois entered the tournament ranked higher nationally than No. 41 Purdue. The loss was the first the Illini had suffered all year when winning the doubles point. Purdue advanced to the semifinals to face top-seeded Michigan. Michigan would go on to fall 4-3 in a tightly-contested championship match to the No.2 seed, Northwestern, which defeated No. 3 Ohio State in the semifinals. The loss snapped Michigan’s thirteen-match win streak. Now the waiting game begins for Illinois. The NCAA will reveal the 64-team tournament field Tuesday at 4:30 pm, and the Illini will be waiting. “We can obviously hope for the best,” Casati said. “We don’t want to get our hopes up too much.”
