Procurement is how Illinois public universities purchase goods and services for academic, research and public service programs.
In the face of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed budget cuts, University and state officials are searching for new ways to cut costs. State Sen. Chapin Rose, R-51, introduced new legislation to change the way the Illinois government makes purchases, otherwise known as the sclerotic procurement process. Procurement is how universities purchase goods and services for academic, research and public service programs as well as for maintenance, housing, dining halls and bookstore operations. According to the Illinois Higher Education Procurement Bulletin, universities typically purchase scientific and medical equipment, classroom and office supplies, chemicals, building construction and repair, maintenance services and professional services.

Committee recommends maintaining 2015 budget BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposal to cut 31.5 percent of state appropriations to the University is still on the table, but the University’s operating budget is a little closer to being finalized. The Board of Trustees Audit, Budget, Finance and Facilities Committee met Monday and decided it will recommend maintaining the University’s current operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year 2016 at the May 7 Board of Trustees meeting. “We really don’t know how the budget process will go,” said Edward McMillan,
committee and Board chairman. “We hope that it will get resolved by the end of May, but we’re not sure that’s going to happen.” The Board of Trustees requires the University to submit a preliminary operating budget before the start of the new fiscal year, which begins July 1, even though state appropriations for the University have not been determined. The University’s total operating budget for fiscal year 2015 was $5.6 billion, according to the Fiscal Year 2015 Annual Operating Budget Executive Summary. The committee will recom-
mend maintaining the same budget until state appropriations are finalized and revisit it when more budget information is available. Walter Knorr, vice president and chief financial officer, said this approach is consistent with past years when state appropriations were not yet finalized. “The approach that Walter Knorr is proposing is the responsible approach at this point,” McMillan said. Knorr said he hopes there will be a final budget to go to the trustees for approval by their September meeting.

Committee proposes higher budget for Everitt renovations If approved, $5M will be added to project’s budget BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
The University Board of Trustees Audit, Budget, Finance and Facilities committee recommended increasing the budget for renovations of the Everitt Laboratory Monday. “The project goal is to provide the best experience in interdisciplinary biomedical engineering at graduate and undergraduate levels,” said Geoffrey Lisle, representative for BSA Life Structures, the company completing the renovations. The original budget for the laboratory renovation, which was approved by the Board of Trustees in March 2014, was $50 million. However, Lisle said the project requires a $5 million budget increase to fulfill its mission.
Everitt Laboratory Renovations
Will cost about $55 million Renovations by BSA Life Structures Q Being renovated to expand on flexible and traditional classroom spaces Q Set to be completed by June 2018 Q Q
The renovation will have a strong focus on classroom spaces with “flexible” layouts, Lisle said. He said he hopes the new classrooms will foster an active learning environment, but can also accommodate a traditional learning style, depending on what the professor chooses. “This really is a combined graduate and undergraduate education for the future,” Lisle said. He said the project should be completed by June 2018. The Committee also recommended naming the University’s newest residence hall Wassaja Hall. If approved, the hall, which
will begin housing students in Fall 2016, would be named in honor of Carlos Montezuma, the first Native American student to graduate from the University. Wassaja, Montezuma’s birth name, means, “to beckon” in his native language, said Edward McMillan, chair of the committee and Board of Trustees. McMillan said Chancellor Phyllis Wise and her auxiliaries are supportive of the name, and the recommendation goes along with the administration’s plans to name more buildings after iconic alumni.

Champaign-Urbana residents talk about transportation concerns with state representatives.
Illinois officials encourage infrastructure investment State officials want Illinois to invest in more transportation infrastructure, despite budget cuts. The Illinois Infrastructure Listening Tour began Monday with a meeting hosted by the Champaign Chamber of Commerce. They discussed the Champaign area’s main concerns for the future of its transportation system and potential areas of investment for infrastructure. Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn is conducting a series of discussions in various parts of the state. He hopes the discussions will
lead to a package of recommendations to be presented to Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Illinois General Assembly for consideration in the spring, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation. The tour will visit 28 cities in Illinois and encourage audience suggestions to better cater to each community’s needs. “We are calling it a listening tour for a reason. We are traveling the state discussing needs, discussing issues, discussing what matters to you,” Blankenhorn said. “We think about how infrastructure makes a difference in your community, makes a difference in our economy,
makes a difference in business and makes a difference in the lives of the people we represent.” Blankenhorn facilitated the discussion between a panel of state and University representatives. The panel included state Sen. Scott Bennett, D-52, Rep. Adam Brown, R-102, Rep. Chad Hays, R-104, Associate Chancellor Mike DeLorenzo, and Clark Deitz, Inc. Executive Vice President Chip Craddock. During the discussion, Brown said he is concerned about Rauner’s proposal to decrease Amtrak funding by 40 percent, or $16 mil-

Private prisons profit on immigrant detainees BY KATE LINTHICUM TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — In the women’s wing of the nation’s newest immigrant detention center, 28-yearold Silia Ramirez sat Thursday writing a letter to her family. She described her day so far — yoga with another detainee in the morning, chicken fajitas for lunch — as well as her anxiety about the future. Like the 185 others held in the new facility in Bakersfield, Ramirez faces deportation. Even as the number of immigrants caught illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has fallen to the lowest levels since the 1970s, the federal government has increased immigrant detention spending. Private prison companies such as Geo Group, which owns and manages the new facility, have profited from the boom. Geo now runs five of the nation’s 10 largest immigrant detention centers, a cost of roughly $100 per detainee daily. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say private companies often do a better and more efficient job of housing detainees than the agency itself or the local jails it sometimes contracts with. Nearly 90 percent of the detainees at the new center have criminal backgrounds, said Erik Bonnar, assistant director for detention and removal operations in ICE’s San Francisco field office. Advocates also have criticized Geo for what they say is a history of medical neglect. A Salvadoran man who had been in ICE custody for five years died, after being held in Adelanto. Officials

A detainee looks out of a holding area at the new ICE detention center on April 23 in Bakersfield, California Mesa Verde Detention Center has just opened and will house as many as 400 inmates awaiting deportation hearings. said the man, Raul Ernesto MoralesRamos, 44, had intestinal cancer. Michael Kaufman, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, said Geo should have detected and treated the man’s cancer sooner. A spokesman for Geo said that he could not comment on the recent death, but the company provides “comprehensive, around-the-clock medical services pursuant to strict contractual requirements and national detention standards set by ICE.� Ramirez, the detainee writing to her
family, said she grew up in San Diego. She was taken into ICE custody three weeks ago after she finished her prison sentence. She was ordered to be deported but has filed an appeal. During her time at the facility, while other women in her dormitory read from the Bible or watched telenovelas on a flat-screen TV, she had been reflecting on what deportation would mean. She was brought to the U.S. from Mexico as an infant, she said, and has no idea what Mexico is like. “My family, they’re all Americans,� she said. “In my soul, I’m an American.�

UI administration would take cuts first BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
Members of the Senate Executive Committee continued discussions about Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed budget cuts Monday. “We are expecting between $80 to $120 million cut for our campus,” said Vice Provost Abbas Benmamoun. “To put it into perspective, $80 million is about two-thirds of state allocation that goes to LAS, the largest college on our campus. That is the magnitude of the cuts we are talking about.” Benmamoun stressed the importance of the administration taking the biggest hit of the cuts in order to save the colleges and protect the University’s mission. “The conversation is ongoing, but the guiding principle
is we have to protect the colleges in order to make sure students are getting a state of the art education with the best facilities and professors,” he said. Roy Campbell, Senate Executive Committee chair, said the budget cuts were discussed at the University Senates Conference, where representatives drafted a document recommending how the University should deal with budget cuts. Benmamoun said it is important not to underestimate the magnitude of the impending budget cuts but he is hopeful for the University’s future. “This University has been around for 150 years, through depressions and world wars,” he said. “This is a resilient institution. We endure, and
we will continue to endure.” Joyce Tolliver, University Senate Conference representative, said the conference drafted three main principals to deal with the cuts. The principals state any budget reductions to be implemented must be considered across all levels of the University administration, budget reductions must be made within administrative units first to preserve the academic mission of the University and short-term strategies seeking to soften the impact of the budget cuts should not replace long-term structural and organizational changes. Tolliver advocated bringing the report to the UrbanaChampaign Senate, and the committee agreed to add it to the May 4 meeting agenda. Nick Burbules, General
University Policy chair, also advocated moving forward with the suggestions made by the University Administration review two years ago. In the review, President Robert Easter encouraged accepting almost all recommendations made by committees reviewing the University administration, Burbules said. Recommendations included streamlining the administration and removing certain vice president positions. While most recommendations were followed, the administration resisted implementing others, he said. “I want to see the University administration accept the remaining recommendations, and I want to see them implemented,” Burbules said.

Champaign police hope to strive for diversity, safety BY ALI BRABOY ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
For the first time in 10 years, Champaign citizens joined the Champaign Police Department on Monday to discuss a strategic plan to make the community safer and the department better. Champaign Chief of Police Anthony Cobb said the department wants to hear suggestions and concerns from community members while being open with them about the police department’s goals. “We want to be thoughtful and transparent with our citizens,” Cobb said. Michael Williams, Champaign resident and Urbana School District employee, asked Cobb if the police
department trains officers on how to handle traffic stops. Williams said he was pulled over in February, but when Williams asked the officer why he was pulled over, he said the officer would not give him an answer. “I (didn’t) feel like a white person,” Williams said. “I feel that I’ve seen all this news, all these black guys that have gotten killed. So I’m already nervous anyway.” After the meeting, officers spoke with Williams and said they will address the issue so others do not have the same experience. Deputy Chief Troy Daniels brought up the department’s thoughts on officers’ use of tasers. Daniels said some officers believe they
should be allowed to use tasers when appropriate, such as for safety. Daniels said the amount of officer injuries can be reduced with tasers. Officers also introduced a new initiative to create more diversity within the department. Daniels said in the next three to five years, there will be about 31 individuals who will be reaching retirement. The department’s hopes to increase diversity when hiring new officers. “It is good business to have a department that’s reflective of our community,” Daniels said. Cobb said there are eight African-American officers in the department, so the department is making a conscious effort to be more
diverse in whom it recruits and appoints. “We’re looking for Latinos. We’re looking for Asians. We’re looking for females. We’re looking for it, you name it,” Cobb said. Champaign City Council Member Vic McIntosh, District 3, said he came to the meeting because it’s important for the department to interact with the citizens. “We represent the citizens here, and we’re kind of watchful of the police department,” McIntosh said. “So I think working together is very important for council members to be out in their districts to see what goes on.”
The Student Assistance Center in the Office of the Dean of Students at the University sent a mass email Monday morning announcing revisions to the absentee policy, which will go into effect this summer. According to the email, illnesses lasting fewer than three days will no longer be excused and clarified that absentee letters from the Office of the Dean of Students do not necessarily excuse students. Excusing students is left up to the instructors’ discretion. The new policy highlights that absences are based on the instructor’s discretion.
Basics of the University’s revised absentee policy
Absence letter requests must be made once the student has resumed classes but no later than 10 business days after the last date of absence. Brief, intermittent illnessrelated absences are no longer eligible for absence letters. Only requests for protracted illness of three days or more will be considered.

FUNDS All public universities in Illinois must follow the Illinois Procurement Code and all state universities’ Boards of Trustees have approved established purchasing procedures in accordance with the process. According to Rose, Illinois’ universities and taxpayers are currently overspending on school supplies, services and other equipment because of the current
procurement process. There are many instances where public universities must go to higher-priced vendors for something they need to buy because of the complicated rules of the procurement process, according to Rose. At a budget talk between University and state officials, Randy Kangas, associate vice president for Academic Affairs, said current procurement requirements may cost the University approximately $70 million each year. For example, Kangas said, Illi-

He killed one and wounded
two policemen. The attacker was then killed and injured officers taken to a hospital,” police spokeswoman Aleksandra Simojlovic told the klix.ba news site. The Nezavisne news portal quoted witnesses as saying that the man yelled “Allahu akbar” as he opened fire and appeared to be a member of the radical Islamic Wahhabi movement.

also help the University redirect some of this money. “He proposed to make the universities more efficient in a variety of ways, procurement being one of them, so that we can redirect the kinds of spending that are involved now with the procurement process on other things like faculty members, directing more of the revenues into the classroom and the research labs,” Easter said. Lucas Frye, student trustee, said these rules make it difficult for schools to make big purchases, and new leg-
islation will help the University redirect some of its spending. “There are a lot of rules universities have to follow, so (Rose’s) legislation is trying to eliminate some of those restrictions specifically put on state universities.” Frye said. “If the budget cuts were to happen, this could be one of those areas that we could have some cost savings.” If enacted, Rose’s proposed legislation would allow public universities to complete their own procurement and ven-
dor paperwork would be streamlined to avoid conflicts of interest. “Part of the process involves a lot of bureaucratic red tape, and it is particularly burdensome to the University as it relates to vendors,” Easter said. “The regulations that are imposed on the vendor and the University make that procurement a disincentive for those kinds of companies to do business here in Illinois.”

It’s called hard time suspension,” Haupt said. “You cannot drive for any reason or anywhere.” Haupt said White, along with Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists, are pushing to get rid of the hard time suspension and instead require that the BAIID system be installed during that time period.

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced new, stricter penalties for citizens found guilty of drunk driving Monday. According to a press release, the new penalties were initiated at the second public hearing on the matter Monday in Springfield by the Advisory Committee on Traffic Safety. The revisions aim to reduce repeat drunk driving incidents by “expanding participation” in the Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device, or BAIID, program. BAIID is a device installed in a vehicle that requires the driver to pass a breathalyzer test — with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or lower — to start the vehicle. The new initiative will require repeat drunk drivers to install the BAIID in their vehicles. Henry Haupt, deputy press secretary for the Illinois Secretary of State’s office, said the policies were proposed to curb the amount of repeat drunk driving offenders and people violating license revo-

EDITORIAL Raising legal age will not stop smokers
J
ust approved by Hawaii lawmakers Friday, a bill on the desk of Gov. David Ige would ban the sale, use and possession of both cigarettes and e-cigarettes to anyone under the age of 21. The Institute of Medicine estimates raising the smoking age to 21 would lower the prevalence of smoking to 12 percent by the time that today’s teenagers are adults. While any decrease in smoking would be beneficial, the overall effectiveness of passing a law like this is questionable. Pushing the smoking age from 18 to 21 might lower the overall incidence of smoking, but it will not serve as a strong barrier to keep young people from starting. If that is the legislator’s overall goal, more educational programs need to be put in place. According to the American Lung Association, 70 percent of adult smokers started smoking before they turned 18. Of those smokers many of them are addicted by age 14. Similarly, a minimum drinking age of 21 does not stop underage drinking — clearly shown by the tickets given to underage drinkers during monthly Illinois State Police campus bar checks. The fact that people begin to smoke at such a young age shows that the current law does little to prevent minors from smoking, and three years will do little to make a huge difference. Rather than restricting the drinking age, Hawaii could probably lower the prevalence of smoking by more than a mere 12 percent through further advocation for education about the dangers of smoking and providing incentives that discourage smoking. Many young people start smoking because of outside factors: Their parents are smokers, they succumb to peer pressure or they see smoking as a form of rebellion — a factor that would be exacerbated with the proposed ban. Giving people and parents incentives to stop smoking and teaching children the negative effects of smoking would be more effective than criminalizing a habit that already starts younger than the legal age. College-aged people and younger aren’t going to stop doing something because of a law against it, as underage drinking and smoking statistics show. Regardless of whether someone lives in Hawaii or Illinois, telling a young person not to do something will only make them want to do it more. Instead of enforcing bans, we should be spreading knowledge. Raising the smoking age might scare a few from smoking, but putting more effort toward education and prevention would go much farther.

State needs to cure procurement laws CAMRON OWENS Opinions columnist
W
ith budget cuts looming, our state universities have been facing a plan that would reduce the state government budget for higher education by 31.5 percent, making many universities fearful of becoming just as lacking in finances as many of their students. Recently, State Senator Chapin Rose introduced a new plan that he claims would save public universities and taxpayers in Illinois money. The basis of this plan is to basically change Illinois procurement laws. Rose plans to “streamline� Illinois procurement laws to give schools more flexibility when making purchases. On the surface, procurement laws seem to make sense. Procurement laws require any purchase made by the University to go through a process that requires them to buy the most competitively priced item available to ensure one company doesn’t have a greater influence over the University than others. For example, if the Univer-
sity wanted to buy a laptop, they would have to go through a process of filling out paperwork, getting different approvals and then allowing companies to bid on offering the best deals for the laptop. The University would have to take the best bid, rather than going out and simply buying whatever laptop is cheapest. It would seem that this system would ensure that universities provide quality items and help us resist monopolistic influence from one corporation. However, being an Illinoisan my whole life, I know that our state government isn’t always known for being simple or organized. The procurement law in Illinois is actually quite a burden considering that most things purchased at the University have to go through this process. The proposed new changes to procurement laws would take some of the politics out of the University and allow us to run like a business, especially since politicians, rather than the University, imposed these regulations. Beyond the complications that procurement laws create, like delays and frequent miscommunication, these ridiculous guidelines are also costing the University’s staff and
students. In October 2013, the University’s Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition attempted to buy a steam kettle to be used for research and instruction, however, due to this long and complicated process, the bidding took six months to complete, and even then the final price was $15,000 over the original budget. These delays caused the department to delay grantfunded work and made them unable to process produce last summer. According to University President Robert Easter, the University would save as much as $70 million a year if these procurement laws were reformed and frankly, it’s easy to see how. This is an issue at all public Illinois universities. At Southern Illinois University, they were unable to purchase a chemical storage building from the lowest bidder because that bidder was not registered with the Secretary of State. The next bid was over $144,000 higher, meaning they had to go through the process of a rebid. Rose even stated “there has been a documented pattern of vendors refusing to bid Illinois jobs — which in many cases has the effect of raising prices.� These laws are so complex
that we as students will miss out on products from certain bidders simply because they’re annoyed with our state law. This puts Illinois college students at a disadvantage, as we are deprived of options. The main issue at hand is this is money that we could be using on students and campus improvements. This would also provide some financial relief with the impending budget cuts. Statewide, reforming these laws could result in savings of $135 million for all public universities. As you can see, the burden of these laws is affecting our brothers and sisters all across the Land of Lincoln. As to if the proposed legislation will fix the problem, at this time it is unknown, however, it does seem like a step in the right direction. Rose’s proposal essentially eliminates a lot of the complicated aspects of the process, allowing universities to “self-certify� vendors. Obviously, we need some regulations in place; however, those regulations shouldn’t be so ridiculous that vendors don’t want to go through them. Anything would be better than what we have now.

ith summer right around the corner, it’s time for a reminder: The sun is not our friend. More than 3.5 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed annually, and of those, 90 percent of them are cause by the sun’s ultraviolet rays. However, for being the most common form of cancer, it is also the most preventable. UV rays are dangerous, and it’s our responsibility this summer to take care of our skin and protect ourselves from the sun’s harmful rays. We need to take steps to prevent skin cancer and premature aging.
Step 1: Sunscreen Everyone knows we should wear sunscreen outside. We’ve heard our mothers, doctors and pale friends (OK, I’m the pale friend in this case) remind us how important sunscreen is; we might throw on a quick layer of sunscreen before a day on the beach and call it good, but it’s not good enough. Now, I’m not talking about being outside for seven hours and putting sun protection factor 4 on after the first two
hours; I’m talking about real sunscreen protection. Because it only takes fifteen minutes for UV rays to damage skin, if there’s a chance you’ll be outside, you need to be putting on sunscreen. In fact, you should really be putting it on 30 minutes before you go outside. Unless you want leathery skin at age 30, SPF 4 just won’t cut it. The higher the SPF number, the more protection the sunscreen offers. You should really be purchasing at least an SPF 15 but preferably higher. While putting on your sunscreen, really take the time to make sure you’re getting every nook and cranny of exposed skin. My ears, my scalp and the top of my feet are just a few spots that I know I often miss. Every two hours, reapply. Sunscreen wears off every few hours, especially if you’re getting wet or wiping off several times. Go for a swim? Reapply. Sweat it all off? Reapply. Breathe? Reapply. (OK, not the last one, but seriously, reapply your sunscreen every few hours for maximum protection.)
Step 2: Know what to wear One of the last things people want to do in 80 degree weather is cover themselves head to toe in clothing, but really, covering ourselves a little isn’t the worst idea. A parka might
be a little overkill, but a swim cover-up or a light buttonup can offer more protection than just sunscreen. Tightly woven fabrics are the best protection from the sun’s rays. Meaning, if your obnoxious cousin throws you in the pool fully dressed, change into some dry clothes before you go back into the sun. While you’re picking out an outfit, look for darker colors; they’ll block out the UV rays more than lighter colored clothing. As cute as straw sunhats are, they really offer little protection from the sun. The small holes let the sunlight in, thereby defeating the purpose of your hat. Try a hat with solid fabric and a wide brim. The brim should shade your face, ears and neck. Boys, don’t worry about finding a sunhat if that’s not your style. A baseball hat will be OK, just make sure to sunscreen your ears and neck! Sunglasses are not only a phenomenal accessory, but they’re also great sun protection for your eyes. While you shop for new sunglasses in the next couple of weeks, make sure you’re buying ones that block UV rays.
a tanning bed makes you 2.5 times more likely to get skin cancer. On top of that, according to McKinley Health Center, indoor tanning can lead to wrinkles, eye damage, firstand second-degree burns and even immune system damage. I personally don’t want to look 50 at 25, so I’ll be avoiding the tanning beds. I suggest you do the same.
Step 4: Times to avoid the sun
Step 3: Do not indoor tan
The sun is the strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. So, if possible, plan to stay out of direct sunlight during these times. McKinley calls it the “Shadow Rule.� If your shadow is shorter than you are, you should stay out of the sun. The sun is at its peak level at those times, and therefore, is the most damaging. You also need to be aware of medications you’re taking. Some drugs can cause sun sensitivity. That sensitivity can lead to rashes or even cell death. So before you head out to the beach, check in with your doctor to make sure a sunburn is your only concern. Let’s all do our best to stay healthy and burn-free this summer. Be healthy, Illini.
I will keep this short and sweet because we’ve heard this over and over again: Do not use tanning beds. Using

Foundation helps war veterans fly again BY JOHN HOLLAND TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
MODESTO, Calif. — More than 70 years after the Nazis shot him down, Chuck Walker took to the friendlier skies of northern California. He and 11 fellow World War II veterans got rides on a recent Monday in a 1940s Boeing Stearman, courtesy of the Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation. Each took off from Turlock Municipal Airport, near Modesto, in the twoseat, open-cockpit plane for a fl ight of about 15 minutes, piloted by foundation president Darryl Fisher. “At 94, I’ll probably not do it again, but I’d like to,� Walker said after landing. “God’s in charge, not me.� The foundation, based in Carson City, California, provides free fl ights for U.S. veterans in all branches. Several of them also took part in a recent Modesto Airport event. Walker, a Turlock resident, took a similar fl ight

in Fresno last year. Back in 1944, he was a fi rst lieutenant in the Army Air Corps, flying a P-38 Lightning out of Italy. He was shot down over Hungary and spent 10 months as a prisoner of war. Like the other honorees, Walker needed help getting up a ladder and into the seat of the Stearman. The riders would not be able to hear over the engine’s roar, so they were told to make a thumb-down signal if they felt ill and needed to land early. They got a chance to handle the controls, which were accessible from either seat as the plane soared as high as 1,500 feet. The foundation does many of its fl ights for residents of retirement communities. This time, it was Covenant Village of Turlock that provided most of the participants. Walter Wright, 92, came from his home in Coarsegold, California, for the fl ight. “This is the plane I learned to fly in 70 years ago in Oxnard,� said the
honoree, who flew supplies to U.S. ground forces in Europe. Rollin Frum, 91, of Turlock, flew a P-51 Mustang in Europe, including strafing missions and bomber escorts, from a base in Bodney, England. “We were known as the Blue-Nosed Bastards from Bodney,� he said while waiting his turn aboard the Stearman. He, too, delighted in flying after so many years. “Hey, that was absolutely marvelous,� he said. “It brought back so many good memories.� At Modesto’s Saturday event, Bilson, 86, noted that the Modesto Airport is where he took his fi rst airplane ride, in 1935, in a Ford Tri-Motor. In his eighth-grade yearbook, to the question “What are you going to be when you grow up?� Bilson answered, “Flier.� As an Air Force fighter pilot and fi rst lieutenant, Bilson flew 100 missions in Korea in an F-86.

SEDARIS glass and told jokes that would make a sailor blush, a symphony of laughter fi lled the theater. Even with his somber stories about his mother’s alcoholism and eventual death from cancer, there was always a punchline to make the audience smile. “It’s honest. He somehow makes even the worst things in life and people laughable,� Phaphouvaninh said. In the east lobby of the theater, the Illini Union Bookstore was selling paperback copies and audiobooks of his work, including New York Times Best Sellers “Naked,� “Holidays on Ice,� “Me Talk Pretty One Day,� “Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim� and “When You Are
Engulfed in Flames.� Audience members were also encouraged to have their book signed by Sedaris after the show. Ushers handed out slips of paper where fans could write their name and message. “I think this is the most impressive thing,� Gerard said. “He’s going to spend more time talking with people individually than he did on stage.� Indeed, the line’s movement was due more to people leaving than actually having their book signed. But at the front of the line, Sedaris was engaging with each person who came up as he signed their book. He addressed them by name, asking them everything from where they got their jacket to the best place in town for coffee. The key to the city sat prominently by a pouch of Sharpies, and he even took
time to draw it in one of the books he signed. Sedaris is no stranger to honors: He was named Humorist of the Year by Time magazine in 2001 and has been nominated for three GRAMMY Awards for Best Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album. His latest recognition is yet to come: He will meet Queen Elizabeth II. When he’s not traveling, he lives in West Sussex, England, with his partner Hugh. He has earned the nickname “Pig Pen� for cleaning up litter, as well as an audience with the Queen. For now, Sedaris will have to be content with the key — what is essentially a “cheap paperweight,� Gerard joked. At least he will have a new diary entry to read at his next show.

Then the Netherlands program popped up. Blumthal explained that Stichting Uitwisseling, also known as the Agency for Agricultural Exchange, has 65 years of experience in placing and training students in agricultural and horticultural companies in the Netherlands. Blumthal thinks that studying abroad will enrich University students. “Study abroad allows students to learn to appreciate things at home that they may have taken for granted and develop a greater sensitivity to and interest in international matters,� Blumthal wrote in an email. “Students can improve language skills, cross cultural understanding, and the ability to adapt

In order to get academic credit for her internship, Dickerson signed up for Animal Sciences 398, Experiential Learning, and got Hurley as her faculty advisor. Hurley said that he has overseen many study abroad students, mostly over the summer, but Dickerson is a special case. “She’s a pioneer from our campus. We’re excited to see what she learns and what value she gets from it and if we should recommend it to our future students,� Hurley said. Although Dickerson said
she is excited and nervous about the upcoming experience, she is still undecided with what career path she will follow. While she loves companion animals and is considering becoming a veterinarian, she said is also contemplating research or studying wildlife. Though she does not normally work with farm animals, she is eager to go on her internship. Plus, they provide her with a bike, she said, which is great for an environmentalist such as herself. “I don’t know many people who get to go on a study abroad internship,� Dickerson said. I’m a people and an animal person, and I get to work with both. I will get to learn stuff that I wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn back at home.�

SEDARIS EARNS KEY TO CHAMPAIGN WITH HILARIOUS PERFORMANCE BY LILLIAN BARKLEY STAFF WRITER
David Sedaris has a key to the city and promised to steal Champaign’s riches while its citizens sleep. The author was honored with the key by Mayor Don Gerard before his performance, “An Evening with David Sedaris,� at the Virginia Theater on Sunday. “He was everything that’s advertised,� said Gerard, who is a longtime fan of Sedaris, as he waited to get his paperback copy of “Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls� signed. “You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who was anything but delighted by this.� The paperback release was the reason for Sedaris’ latest tour, which included tumors, ebola and turtles, all told in Sedaris’ anecdotal, humorous style. Sedaris stood alone on the Virginia’s stage, wearing an owl-pat-
terned tie and a turquoise pocket square with white dots. The two hours he spent on stage featured him reading stories from individual sheets of paper. He said some of his acquaintances don’t refer to it as real work. “Anyone can turn pages and read out loud,� he said. But Sedaris is an essayist with a keen sense of comedic timing and cynical wit. With only his voice, he painted a unique midnight scene of a doctor he met after a show. She removed a benign tumor from his body and sent it on ice to his sister’s house. He planned to feed the tumor to his favorite snapping turtle, Leviathan, after the tour ended in May. The story didn’t have an official ending, since the tumor was still frozen at his family’s North Carolina beach-house. Sedaris’ readings are constantly evolving throughout the tour. “It’s sort of like a living art,� said Joy Phaphouvaninh, Sedaris’ fan and visiting assistant director of curricular integration for Student International Academic Affairs. Sedaris said that in his free time between shows, he goes through his stories and edits them. When the audience issued a collective cough, he said it pointed out a detail that didn’t work. One element of his show that changes most frequently is his diary reading. “It was a lot edgier than I thought it would be,� Phaphouvaninh said. The segment was so explicit that he scratched behind his ear to signal that sensitive audience members should cover their ears. As he sipped water from a wine

From the South Farms to the Netherlands BY MARA SHAPIRO STAFF WRITER
Mary Dickerson has always loved animals. This summer, however, she will combine this love with adventure while working for a dairy farm in the Netherlands. Dickerson, sophomore in ACES, is the first and only University student to be accepted into the ACES in the Netherlands Summer Internship program. She will be abroad May 17 through August 21 with the company, Stichting Uitwisseling, which allows students from America, Africa, Canada and Australia to participate in dairy farm production. While she is there, she will stay with a local couple and their five small children in Oudewater, Netherlands. “It’s a very hands-on program. It’s brand new, too. I’m
trying to get involved with the different parts of Animal Sciences,� Dickerson said. “There’s research, wildlife, horses, and companion. This is research.� Dickerson said she will be comparing the dairy farm industry in America with that of the Netherlands. “I’m going to be milking a lot of cows,� she said. She also said that she will be looking for ways to improve the United States’s dairy farming system based off of her observations in the Netherlands. The U.S. government is funding her trip, so Dickerson will be obtaining her work Visa prior to her leave. During her first month in Europe, she said she will be studying the company, learning about milking and operating equipment as well as disease testing. During her
second month, Dickerson will be evaluating the herd of cattle. “When you take care of animals, you’re supposed to catch the problem before there is a problem,� Dickerson said. “You should know if a cow is sick before it shows the signs.� Dickerson said she will also study the hoof trimming process and cows’ feed intake. “It’s a first-hand experience instead of a typical classroom experience,� Dickerson said. In sixth grade, Dickerson said she started working at her local animal shelter and fell in love with the work. “I really wanted a dog, which brought me to the animal shelter. I started volunteering after,� Dickerson

Streaking into history books Win could continue program’s record-breaking win streak
BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER
The Illinois baseball program has made progress on and off of the diamond this season. There have been new additions to Illinois Field this spring and the Illini are putting together a season that is the best in program history. Illinois’ home has a new video-screen scoreboard, but it also has something new on the outfield walls: a NCAA logo with a
list of 10 years next to it and the Big Ten logo with 29 years next to it. The new addition is a constant reminder of the goals the team set at the beginning of the year. With such an experienced team, the players knew they could make some noise this season and are well on their way to accomplishing those goals. “If you’re not out here to be the best in the world at what you’re doing, then you’re wasting your time,�
said outfielder Will Krug. “We had really high expectations for ourselves in the Big Ten and past that. But we expected a lot from ourselves and didn’t put the pressure on that came with (those) expectations. That’s why we’re able to succeed.� Illinois (36-6-1, 13-1 Big Ten) is ranked No. 8 in the nation according to several polls and is projected to host a regional during the NCAA tournament. The team also broke the program’s winning streak record with its 17th straight win Sunday — the longest active streak in the nation. Despite the high nation-
al ranking, the Big Ten title race isn’t Illinois’ to run away with. The Illini lead the conference standings, but Iowa only sits one game behind with a 30-11 overall record and a 13-2 mark in the Big Ten. Ohio State and Maryland follow, with conference records of 12-3 and 11-4, respectively. Of those teams, Illinois will only play Ohio State during the remainder of the regular season — the two will face off in Columbus, Ohio, this weekend. Iowa will play Michigan (27-17, 11-7), Minnesota (18-21, 7-11) and Rutgers (15-27-
1, 5-10) while Illinois will play Ohio State, Rutgers and Nebraska (30-16, 6-9). The Illini control their own destiny — if they win out, they will be the conference’s regular season champion. “It doesn’t matter what Iowa does if we win,� head coach Dan Hartleb said. The team will look to continue its historic run when it travels to Carbondale, Illinois, to play Southern Illinois on Tuesday. Illinois won two of three earlier in the season when the Salukis came to Illinois Field in

As the regular season comes to a close, the Illinois softball team has one last non-conference game against visiting Western Illinois on Tuesday. The game comes between two weekend series for the Illini. Head coach Terri Sullivan said the midweek games are very beneficial for the Illini (24-24, 13-7 Big Ten), who have their sights set on beating the Leathernecks (16-20, 6-9 Summit League). “We always want to play more games,� Sullivan said. “The girls would always rather be playing a game then being out here practicing. The in-game experience is what will make us better now.� The Illini have not lost a non-conference game since March 25th, and look to gain momentum heading into this weekend’s series against Nebraska. The Leathernecks struggle on offense, scoring just over four runs per game, compared to Illinois’ average of 6.3. The Western Illinois pitching staff can hold its own, though, and are led by junior Kaycee Hart, who has an ERA of 3.23.

Illinois' Allie Bauch attempts to pop up the ball during the softball game vs. Purdue at Eichelberger Field on Sunday. With the win against Purdue in game two of Sunday’s doubleheader, the Illini got their record back to .500. After a poor start to the season (8-16), nobody on the team could think of anything positive to say. Everyone was ready to put the first part of the season behind them. Now as the regular season is coming to a close, the Illini have completely turned their season around.
Since losing four consecutive games to start the conference season, the Illini are 16-4 and sit in fourth place in the Big Ten, and show no signs of slowing down. Junior Allie Bauch basked in the glory of the team’s resurgence after the series victory against Purdue. “It feels great to be back at .500,� Bauch said. “After the beginning of the season, we wanted to have a
fresh start. We knew that we could play this way all season, and now that we are it just feels amazing.�

Men’s tennis finishes season with new lineup BY CHRIS KENNEDY STAFF WRITER
This weekend brought the Illinois men’s tennis team a Big Ten championship. It also brought the return of senior Ross Guignon and freshman Toshiki Matsuya to the singles court. Matsuya hasn’t seen action since March 29. While Guignon has been contributing on the doubles court with freshman partner Aron Hiltzik, he had only played singles in two matches since February: April 4 at Michigan State and April 12 vs. Nebraska. Guignon got off to a great start in the championship match against the Buck-
eyes. He opened up with a 6-0 first set against No. 97 Ralf Steinbach. He then lost the second set 0-6, and was down 3-4 when play ended. Head coach Brad Dancer was very active in coaching Guignon during his match on Court 6. Matsuya looked good in his action on Friday against Iowa. He was dynamic on the court, producing some highlight-reel plays, successfully reaching balls all over the court. The team has talked about Matsuya being the best mover on the team, and he demonstrated some of that ability on Friday. Senior Blake Bazarnik,
who played five of the last six matches before the tournament at the No. 6 singles spot, didn’t see any playing time this weekend.
Success for Gosea and Vukic The doubles pair of freshman Aleks Vukic and senior Farris Gosea finished the regular season strong and continued that success during the Big Ten Tournament. In doubles, the duo went 2-0 and didn’t finish against Northwestern. In singles, they were the

The accolades continue to pour in for Illinois men’s golfer junior Thomas Detry. The same weekend Detry came away as a member of the Illini team that won the Big Ten Championship, he left with the Les Bolstad award for the lowest season stroke in the Big Ten this season. Detry held a stroke average of 70.26 during the spring season. Head coach Mike Small believes that the award is well-deserved for Detry’s consistency from start to finish. “It’s a representation of a yearlong standard of good play,� Small said. “It’s a very good compliment to Thomas and the way he’s performed this season.� Detry’s achievement marks the second-straight year an Illini golfer has walked away with the prestigious award. In 2014, Fellow junior Charlie Danielson won the award, shooting 71.07 on the year — at the time the best individual Big Ten average in the last five years.

The first three rounds were sunny, calm, and overall idyllic golf weather. But Sunday’s final round brought with it an entirely new set of elemental challenges for the golfers at the Victoria National Golf Club in Newburgh, Indiana. Small thought the wind gave his team a bit of difficulty. “The conditions were great the first three days, it was nice and sunny, then the last day came and it got windy and it made it things kind of difficult,� Small said. “The first three days the weather was really a non-issue, but the last round it got tough to play through the wind.� Freshman Big Ten co-medalist Nick Hardy was forced to adapt to the new conditions to secure his victory. “It was a little windy, and it was coming from different directions,� Hardy said. “It was different conditions,

Women’s golf struggles to finish BY LUCAS WRIGHT STAFF WRITER
JIM COWSERT TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
The Los Angeles Angels’ Josh Hamilton looks on from the dugout during the third inning against the Texas Rangers on Sept. 11 at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas.
Hamilton is back to the Rangers BY EVAN GRANT TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
A RLINGTON, Texas — During a 30-minute reintroduction news conference Monday, newly reacquired Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton said he wanted only to look forward. But he couldn’t help himself from looking back for a minute. Hamilton said, in retrospect, he regretted leaving the Rangers after the 2012 season for a five-year, $125 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels. Hamilton was acquired in a complicated deal Monday from the Angels. The Angels, according to sources, are taking on more than $65 million of Hamilton’s remaining $80 million salary.
He will leave for the Rangers’ spring training facility in Surprise, Ariz. He will then join TripleA Round Rock for a rehab assignment (he is currently on the DL). Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said it is likely Hamilton could be activated in “midto late-May.� Daniels said the Rangers decision to acquire Hamilton, which was a threeto four-week process, was driven by baseball needs rather than humanitarian desires. The Rangers did “due diligence� on Hamilton, Daniels said and the club, working with Hamilton, will put a support system in place for him. The support system will be headed by Shayne Kelley, who served as Hamilton’s
“accountability partner� for the 2012 season. Kelley is expected to live and travel with Hamilton but will not have a role with the club. Hamilton also cited televangelist James Robison, a longtime friend, and Chad Harrington, another friend with whom Hamilton has lived while recovering from shoulder surgery. “At the end of the day, this is was a pretty easy decision for us,� Daniels said. “This is about a player we think can be productive and help us win games. A healthy Josh Hamilton in a good state of mind — where we believe he is — can help our offense and help us win baseball games. It was nothing more, nothing less, a pretty easy decision from a baseball standpoint.�
It’s no secret that the Illinois women’s golf team has had its struggles throughout the season. However, its difficulties during the spring have centered around the difficult schedule. The Illini come into this week as the 65th-ranked team in the nation — they have not risen higher than 60th all season. The team has shown a big weakness in playing top-50 ranked teams. Illinois has fi nished behind a top-50 ranked team on 16 occasions throughout the spring and fi nished ahead of a top50 ranked team only four times. In the Illini’s two tournament wins this season, they faced a total of zero top-50 ranked teams.
Upperclassmen have been inconsistent Illinois has been led this season by its surging young talented freshmen Jan Prapassarangkul, Dana Gattone and Grace Park. Each of the three has risen to the top of the team at one point in the season.

TENNIS only two Illini to claim victories on all three days of the tournament. When the two were on, it was hard for the opposition to take a game. On Friday, Gosea/Vukic and the rest of the doubles teams lost their fi rst sets to Iowa, but rallied. In Gosea and Vukic’s match, Iowa would take one more game — the Illini pair won 8-2. Gosea and Vukic pulled away to an 8-2 victory on Sunday in a doubles battle against Ohio State. Vukic was the fi rst Illini to fi nish in singles on both Saturday and Sunday. He fought through a long back-and-forth first set with Northwestern’s Fedor Baev, 7-6 (7-3) on Saturday. No 66 Vukic took over and shut out Baev 6-0 in the second set to put the Illini on the board in singles. He tied a school record for most total wins in a season with 42. No. 45 Gosea fought through a tough match on Sunday to beat No. 47 Mikal Torpegaard 6-3, 6-2. He also handled his other opponents in straight sets, beating Northwestern’s Strong Kirchheimer 6-3, 6 -2 and Iowa’s Lefteris Theodorou 6-4, 6-1.

On the flip side, the team’s upperclassmen have not been significant contributors. Five non-freshmen have suited up for the Illini this season: sophomores Stephanie Miller and Emily Joers and seniors Pimploy Thirati, Samantha Postillion and Erin Ahern. The three seniors have combined for a per-round scoring average of 79.26 in 23 rounds. Joers played in all but one of the tournaments this year, averaging 78.6 strokes per round. Miller, has been the most inconsistent of the group this year. She failed to fi nish outside of the top 25 in all five tournaments throughout the fall season, but fi nished inside the top 25 once through six spring tournaments. Her recent play in the Big Ten Championship was not satisfactory to head coach Renee Slone, who called her play “poor� and said Miller did not control her emotions well.
New putters, same results As of two tournaments
ago (the Lady Buckeye Spring Invitational), four Illini have played with new Edel custom putters: Miller, Thirati, Prapassarangkul and Park. Based on the results, the putters haven’t had much of a positive impact on scores for the group. In the cases of Miller, Prapassarangkul and Park, there’s only been a small change in their average scores. The largest difference is the half stroke added to Miller’s average score per round in her last two events. Thirati, who had a higher average than Miller before the putter change, has seen even worse results — nearly 1.5 strokes higher per round compared to her average on the year. The effects of the new clubs have provided more than changes to stat sheets. In Prapassarangkul’s case, she said she had to focus more on getting a rhythm during the Big Ten Championship, the fi rst time all season she complained about her putting.

class of 2014, Hardy was ranked the No. 2 player in Illinois and No. 14 nationally by the American Junior Golf Association. These accolades led to him starting as a freshman on a talented Illinois team that already boasted three former All-Americans. Hardy is not fazed by his teammates’ prior success, and has seized the opportunity to play with some of the top upperclassman golfers in the country. “I like competing with them every day,� Hardy said. “It’s great competing with
three upperclassman who are All-Americans. So not intimidation, but just competition to get myself better.� Small said his talented freshman has really come into his own this season. “He’s had his ups and downs, just like any freshman does in any sport,� Small said. “Playing in college, it’s a big adjustment, and he’s worked hard and I’m really happy in the way he’s performed and carried himself this season.�
Gunther is not a power hitter. She and Junior Kylie Johnson are the only two Illini starters who have yet to hit a home run this season. Gunther has the second-highest batting average on the team at .380, and has scored the second most runs (40). She trails Bauch in both categories. An underrated part of Gunther’s game is her ability to put the ball in play.
She has struck out fi ve times this season – Jess Perkins is second on the team in the category with 15. Gunther is a player who does the dirty work, and while she may not hitting home runs, she plays her role perfectly.

Wrestler Martinez talks hobbies, perfect season KEVIN MCCARTHY Illini columnist
Every week The Daily Illini’s Kevin McCarthy sits down with an Illini athlete and asks them questions about sports and life.
R
edshirt freshman Isaiah Martinez of the Illinois wrestling team just completed a 35-0 season and won a national title in the 157-pound weight class. This week I sat down with him to talk about his perfect season and his off-themat hobbies. Kevin McCarthy (KM): Describe the moment when the referee lifted your hand in victory, and you were officially crowned national champion. Isaiah Martinez (IM): Wow. I don’t know, honestly. How do you describe the culmination of 15 or 16 years of work? All for that one moment: the glory. It was almost a relief in a sense. But it was overwhelming too for a while. KM: There’s an awesome picture of you, (Head coach) Jim Heffernan, and (associate head coach) Mark Perry embracing each other after the national championship match. What was going through your mind during that moment? IM: They’re the ones that got me here. They spent countless hours in the gym with me. They helped me through some struggles, some highs and some lows. But they believed in me throughout the entire journey. I was just grateful for them in that moment. KM: What’s your relationship with Mark Perry like? IM: I have a great and very
unique relationship with all of my coaches. With Mark, he’s more of a brother to me. He’s not afraid to tell me the things that I don’t want to hear. I’m very grateful for that bond we’ve built. KM: Since Mark has been there, done that — he won two national titles himself at the University of Iowa — how does that make him a better coach? IM: You just respect what he’s done. When you’re trying to be the best, you want to emulate someone who has done it before. I used to see videos of Mark when I was growing up. What he’s done on the mat makes you respect him. He faced a lot of adversity (with injury) winning two straight national titles. It gives him a certain aura and confidence — it makes you want to be like him. KM: In the beginning of the season you told me that you wanted to go undefeated and win a national title. Now you’ve done just that. Did you truly believe you could do it? IM: (Laughs) I did. I did. Just because I believed it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t astonishing to me when it actually happened. To go undefeated, set my weight class on fire, and just dominate everyone — I didn’t think it would be like that. Maybe I was just talking. Looking back, it still amazes me. KM: What separates you from the rest of the competition? IM: I’m not afraid to work very, very hard for what I want. I’m stubborn and aggressive. I just believe that I can be the best as long as I listen to my coaches. KM: People are already making comparisons with you to the greatest of all time — Cael Sanderson — who went (159-0) in college. How does that make you
feel? IM: It’s really cool, I think it’s awesome to hear my name in the same sentence as the greatest collegiate wrestler of all time. I never could’ve imagined this. It’s wild. KM: Do you believe that you can be the next Cael Sanderson? IM: I want to exceed him, honestly. I look to someone like that and I want to emulate what he did, but it’s about setting your own legacy. I want my name to come out and people to be like, “He was better than Cael Sanderson.” I have a long way to go. It’s going to be very hard. But if I stay the course, I don’t see why I can’t do it. KM: I keep seeing photos of you taking pictures with kids or signing autographs, what has that been like? IM: It’s cool! These kids are crazy sometimes with the kind of stuff they want me to sign. Yesterday, some kid had a pair of Jordan Burroughs’ (an Olympic wrestler) shoes, and he’s like, “Sign these for me.” I’m like, these are Jordan Burroughs’ shoes, I feel guilty. It’s crazy being that guy that kids look up to, because I used to be one of those kids. KM: Who’s the toughest guy on this team? IM: Definitely (senior) Jesse Delgado. KM: Do you play video games? IM: Yes. I love Mortal Kombat and Super Smash Bros. KM: If Isaiah Martinez was a Super Smash Bros. character, who would you be? IM: I would definitely be Captain Falcon. He’s an all-in type of guy. He’s super strong and just tries to “Falcon Punch” everyone. KM: So you’d do a lot of Falcon-Punching?
SONNY AN THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Isaiah Martinez pops off after his victory over Kent State’s Ian Miller during the match at Huff Hall on February 15. Martinez won the 157-pound national championship on March 21 IM: Oh yeah. I’d Falcon Punch and Falcon Kick everybody. KM: How would I look in wrestling head gear? IM: No one looks good in head gear. KM: If I stepped on the mat with you, how long would it take you to pin me? IM: (Laughs) That wouldn’t be a good idea by you. I’m not a pinner. But I could pin you very, very fast. KM: Well, how long would it take you win by technical fall?
IM: Maybe two minutes. KM: Why did you move from Southern California to central Illinois? IM: I ask myself that question every day in the Winter. KM: Let’s end on a more serious note. In a single word, are you going to win four straight national titles? IM: Absolutely. Kevin is a freshman in Media. komccar2@dailyillini.com @KevOMcCarthy

A
lex asks: Why do you take such joy in Cubs fans’ despair and conversely lament the happiness of such a tortured fan base? Wow Alex, do you write poetry? That was a beautifully crafted question. OK, so I feel like I’ve been writing about the Cubs for weeks now. I take joy in Cubs fans’ despair because that’s how I was raised. When the White Sox win, it’s a good day. When the Sox win and the Cubs lose, it’s a great day. Growing up, I witnessed my dad, on the day of a Sox win, get bothered if the Cubs also won. Some Cubs fans root for the team because it was the popular thing to do growing up. I would try to have intelligent conversations about baseball with Cubs fans’ and they would come back with some ignorant comment about how much the Sox sucked and how they played in a bad neighborhood and they didn’t want to go to the game because they might get robbed. Some of the best memories of my childhood happened at U.S. Cellular Field, so when “Cubs” fans would tell me how much the place “sucked,” it got annoying. When the Sox won the World Series, I was watching in my house, packed with family and friends. Tears flowed after the final out, and everyone was smiling cheek to cheek. When I went to school he next day, the first thing I heard from Cubs fans was about how my favorite team was irrelevant and how nobody cared and yadda yadda yadda. I wish this wasn’t the case,
but to some extent I have always associated Cubs fans with people who treated me poorly growing up. Nobody likes a bully. So that’s why you won’t see me be happy for Cubs fans now that their team is having some success. Emma asks: Sam, of the current Chicago teams, who would win in a fight a la Anchorman? This question is especially appropriate after last week’s brawl between the Royals and White Sox. Fights in professional sports are really funny. If you think about it, you’re just watching a bunch of millionaires tussle. When sports teams fight, there are pretty much only negative outcomes. Looking at the fight between the Royals and the Sox, we saw six suspensions handed down, including those of Sox starters Jeff Samardzija and Chris Sale. White Sox relief pitcher Matt Albers broke his pinkie finger in the fight and had to be put on the 15-day DL. As fun as they are to watch, sports fights are dumb. Now, let’s get to the original question. As I’ve stated numerous times, baseball is my favorite sport, and the White Sox are my favorite team. That being said, there is no way in hell either Chicago baseball team would stand a chance in this fight, so we can immediately eliminate the Sox and the Cubs. So let’s take a look at the remaining major Chicago teams: the Bulls, Blackhawks and Bears. The Bulls, if healthy, MIGHT have a chance, but if we’re honest, I don’t see them staying healthy. I wouldn’t want Derrick Rose anywhere near a fight because of how injury-prone he’s been. Joakim Noah would be the most terrifying Bull to fight, but I could see Kirk Hinrich scrap-

Chicago Cubs fans celebrate a 2-0 win against the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field in Chicago on April 8. ping his way through a couple fights because he just never goes away. The Bulls would fight hard, but at the end of the day, they wouldn’t have the ability to take down the other teams. Now we move on to the favorites, the Bears and the Hawks. This one comes down to who can sustain the most pain, and I think that’s indisputably the Hawks — just imagine Jay Cutler fighting Marian Hossa. The Bears would need to find a new starting QB. I mean they currently need to find a new starting QB, but that’s just ‘cause Cutler is bad. Taking into consideration the pain that hockey players play through, and how fighting has always been a part of the sport, I see no reason why the Blackhawks wouldn’t come out on top.
Ted asks: How will you prepare mentally and physically for the upcoming softball season? Ted is my uncle, and I play on his 16” softball team over the summer. (Shout out to the Raiders!) The league consists of mostly guys more than twice my age, don’t let that fool you, these guys can play. I consider myself to be the Dayan Viciedo of 16” softball.” I had a lot of hype coming into my career. I possess lots of raw power, but too often I swing for the fences when I should be just trying to make contact. This summer, I’m going to try and shake off that Viciedo comparison, and become a better hitter. I have been running eight miles a day, meditating two hours every night and weight
training for a few hours every morning. By running, I mean occasionally walking to a place where I am going to eat, by meditating, I mean multiple naps during the day and by weight training I mean I don’t actually lift. That being said, I can’t wait for the season to start. I am ready to enter my prime, and become one of the greatest 16” softball players the city of Chicago has seen.

Cavaliers lose Love for Eastern Conference semifinals BY JASON LLOYD TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
CLEVELAND — If the Cavaliers are going to advance beyond the second round of the postseason, they’re going to have to do it with two stars instead of three. Kevin Love has been ruled out of the Eastern Conference semifinals the Cavaliers announced Wednesday. Love was diagnosed with “acute anterior inferior glenohumeral dislocation with corresponding ligament/labrum tearing and humeral head bone bruising,” according to the team. In layman’s terms, he dislocated his left shoulder and suffered torn ligaments and a tear in his labrum in the process. A determination on his availability beyond the second round will be made in the coming days, the team said. Love was injured fighting for a rebound during the first quarter of Sunday’s Game 4 victory at the Boston Celtics when Kelly Olynyk pinned Love’s left arm under his own and pulled it out of the socket. Love called it a “bush league” play. “I have no doubt in my mind that he did that on purpose,” Love said. Olynyk, who did not speak to reporters on Sunday, told the Boston Globe on Monday that Love clamped his arm first, so he
clamped back and was trying to hold Love away so Avery Bradley could get the rebound. “Obviously I would never intentionally hurt him or any player on the floor,” Olynyk told the Globe. “I don’t think anybody in our league would intentionally try and hurt someone, especially at this time of year. “It’s terrible the way it happened. But, you know, it’s a part of basketball. Everyone gets tangled up and stuff. Unfortunately it happened. You’re always locked up, grabbing, pulling. It’s just unfortunate it happened.” Olynyk said he tried contacting Love to apologize, but hadn’t yet reached him. “I’d probably get killed if I went to Cleveland right now,” Olynyk said. “I don’t think if someone gave me their arm and I was running forward like that and locked up, I don’t think I could dislocate someone’s arm if I tried. I think it’s a real tough thing to do. Like I said before, it’s kind of ridiculous to say you intentionally meant to. I’d never intentionally hurt someone, him or anybody else for that matter.” The Cavs took Monday off following the series sweep, but their problems may get worse before they get better. The team is still
waiting to hear from the league on a possible suspension of J.R. Smith, whose violent backwards swing caught the jaw of Jae Crowder. Crowder dropped the court immediately, bending his left leg awkwardly. He was diagnosed with a sprained ACL and avoided more serious damage, such as a full tear. “I figured I would be much better at keeping my composure in these things,” Smith said Sunday. “I think we as a team would be better at that. Unfortunately it happened and there’s nothing we can do about it now. Hopefully there’s no suspensions at either end and we just go from there.” The conference finals cannot begin before May 17. If the Cavs can survive the second round without Love, he would have exactly three weeks to heal from the date of the injury. Love had X-rays and an MRI at the Cleveland Clinic on Monday and was examined by Cavs doctors. He is seeking additional opinions, the team said. “It’s next man up,” LeBron James said Sunday. “What goes on with our team, those are two big pieces, obviously, next man up. No excuses. You just get ready to go out and play.”

Urban Meyer contract extension to stay with Ohio until 2020, becomes highest paid coach in Big Ten
Cardinals’ ace Adam Wainwright out with achilles injury for season
Ohio State has rewarded Urban Meyer with a new contract extension making him the highest paid coach in the Big Ten. The new deal, which is retroactive to Feb. 1, keeps Meyer at the school through the 2020 season and pays him $5.8 million in 2015. His pre-
Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright tore his Achilles tendon and will undergo surgery this week, general manager John Mozeliak said Monday afternoon. Recovery will be about nine to 12 months. Wainwright suffered the injury in the fourth inning of Saturday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers. As he pushed off to run out of the batter’s box, he injured his lower left leg. “As far as this year goes, he’s done,� Mozeliak said. The MRI was performed Monday morning in St. Louis. He was removed from the game, which the Cardinals
vious deal was set to expire at the end of the 2017 season and paid him $4.9 million for 2015 . With total compensations and raises, Meyer will average $6.5 million per year over the next six years . The deal is pending approval by the school’s board of
trustees at its next meeting set for June 3-4. Meyer wrapped up his third season with the Buckeyes, leading the team to a Big Ten title and a national championship. In three seasons, Ohio State is 38-3 under Meyer including a 24-0 record against the Big Ten.
White Sox game postponed due to Baltimore riots BALTIMORE — As turmoil envelops the city, Monday night’s Orioles game against the Chicago White Sox has been postponed.

He’s been the ace of the Cardinals pitching staff and a workhorse, pitching 200plus innings the past two seasons and nearly 200 in 2012

lence in the city occurred in Northwest Baltimore, about four miles from Camden Yards, the Orioles consulted with Baltimore Police throughout the day before deciding to call the game to ensure the safety of fans. “People will be looking into that,� Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Monday afternoon, when the game was still slated to be
played. “I’m sure that’s the questions they’ll be asking. I’m not oblivious to the things that are going on, (but) I’m trying to keep our guys focused on this (game). And then if we have to make an adjustment, we’ll make it. ... We’ll see what the rest of the day brings. I know we’ve taken every precaution, as far as the fans go, to a fault.�
