Two incidents, believed related, investigated by Urbana police

Woman suffers lacerations after exchanging blows with assailant on Sat. morning DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Urbana police are investigating two incidents reported in the early morning hours of Saturday that are believed to be related.

At about 2:29 a.m., Urbana police responded to a report of a prowler at a home in the 400 block of South Busey Avenue, according to a press release. A 21-year-old Urbana woman heard a voice outside the bathroom window. When she investigated, she was met by a black male who tapped a handgun on the window. The victim notified others in the home. When a male went outside to investigate, he saw the suspect, who fled.

Later that same morning, at 4:11, Urbana police responded to a report of a home invasion at an apartment building also in the 400 block of South Busey Avenue. In this incident, a 23-year-old Urbana woman awoke to find an intruder who had entered her bedroom through an unlocked window. The intruder began to physically attack the woman, including striking her in the head and face with a handgun. The two exchanged blows for several minutes, and she was eventually able to crawl to her bedroom door, opening it.

One of her roommates, who had opened her own bedroom door to investigate the commotion, helped drag the victim to the safety of her own bedroom. According to the report, police believe the offender fled out of the same bedroom window he had used to enter.

The victim in the second incident was transported to Carle Hospital where she was treated and released for several facial lacerations and a broken cheek bone.

Police were unable to locate the offender following either incident.

The offender has been described as a black male of medium build and unknown age but less than 40 years old. He was last seen wearing a yellow/white hoodie or jacket.

Investigation into these incidents is ongoing.

The police urge anyone with further information to call the Urbana Police Department at (217) 384-2320. Callers may remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at (217) 373TIPS or by texting â&#x20AC;&#x153;CCTipâ&#x20AC;? plus the information to CRIMES, or 274637.

CLEARED OUT 59 BAGS OF LITTER COLLECTED DURING BONEYARD CLEANUP DAY

BY AUSTIN KEATING INTERIM EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

More than 400 volunteers took to the Boneyard Creek, its tributaries and areas across the community on April 12 to clean it up as part of the Boneyard Creek Community Day. The event had a record turnout, with its largest volunteer base coming from the University. This year, the event had another first — it was the first year volunteers had to keep track of the amount of garbage they picked up.

“We cover several different areas all over Champaign-Urbana, so it’s difficult to get an

idea of how much trash we clean up. This tally provides a way to gather this metric,” said Eliana Brown, coordinator of the event.

“Plus, it gives us an idea of what kinds of waste we see the most. Ultimately, my hope is that people will see this information and rethink their habits.”

After more than a month, the coordinators have finished tallying the results. Not every team kept a trash tally, but most did.

Between these groups, 59 trash bags were filled with a variety of junk, including: cigarette butts, food wrappers, take-out boxes, straws/stirrers, utensils, bottles/cans,

bags, caps/lids, cups/plates and a variety of other items.

Brad Bennett, assistant city engineer for Urbana Public Works, said most of Urbana’s storm water ends up in the creek — so when people litter a mile away from any waterway, it still has the chance of going down an inlet and washing down the creek.

“It takes the bulk of Champaign’s storm water, the bulk of the University and almost all of Urbana drains into the Boneyard Creek,” he said.

That’s why the cleanup focused not only on the waterway, but also the surrounding areas

with inlets that lead to the Boneyard Creek.

Shannon Darcy, a second-year veterinary medicine student, and other veterinarian medicine students cleaned up the saline branch, which the Boneyard leads into. It was one of many sites the volunteers cleaned.

She said the most common thing her group found in the Saline Branch, which cuts through a golf course, were plastic bags.

“A lot of the golfers here are better than I expected,” she said with a chuckle.

IndigoSun, a psychedelic dance music band, plays a show at Cubby Bear Wrigleyville in Chicago. The band played a show at Canopy Club on Thursday.

IndigoSun plays to inspire positivity

Band shares stage with BrainChild, promotes healing through music

BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

“All right, all right Champaign, we are IndigoSun,” said keyboardist of IndigoSun Kyle Liss to the audience at The Canopy Club. “We hope to make you dance, that’s definitely a goal. But by the end of the show we hope to make you feel like you have a little more faith in humanity.”

Thursday night, The Canopy Club hosted a concert for the psychedelic dance music band, IndigoSun, also featuring funky jam band, Brainchild. As the two bands have previously performed together at other events, the band members of IndigoSun expressed their excitement to share the stage with Brainchild again.

“We really like them,” said Steve Florian, drummer of IndigoSun. “I think the biggest thing is there’s a mutual respective friendship between the bands. Everyone appreciates the musicianship between each other. It’s really nice to play with peers like that, where you listen to each other play and you’re intrigued and inspired to go on next.”

Brainchild opened the show at 9 p.m. and played for about two and a half hours. The bands performed on the small stage of The Canopy Club to a very small crowd.

Although small, the audience interacted with the band as they performed. Audience members bobbed their heads and swayed to the rhythm of the upbeat music. Two girls in the audience danced to the music while they twirled a hula hoop in the air and around themselves.

Brainchild’s set was made up of many instrumental pieces with few a lyrical songs. The songs would start off slow,

and build to a fast pace and loud beat. In the middle of one of their songs, the band members lifted their guitars behind their heads and continued to rock out.

At the end of songs the audience would cheer and applaud for the band.

“May the force be with you,” guitarist and vocalist of Brainchild Roy Ponce said to the audience at the end of their set.

After a few minutes of transition, IndigoSun took the stage at 11:30 p.m. The band members are no strangers to the University campus or The Canopy Club stage.

“We have been at U of I four times,” Liss said. “Well, we played on Unofficial a few times years ago at house parties.

The next time we were back was for the Summer Camp Battle in 2012. That was the first time we were at Canopy Club.”

The band agreed that they were all happy to be back in Urbana-Champaign for their performance.

“We’re feeling good,” Florian said. “We want to bring in a varied audience tonight. What we do is a bit different, and the music we play is varied. There’s a strong kind of jazz undercurrent, and we throw in hip hop, soul, R&B, and a lot of old school funk. Our goal is to appeal to almost everyone.”

IndigoSun started off their set with their song “So Many Miles To Go.” As they started, multiple audience members flooded the front of the stage to dance and sing along to the electronic-sounding music.

“We are so happy to be back,” Liss told the cheering audience as the first song ended.

Although the crowd remained small throughout the show,

Liss said the smaller stage was the perfect setting for the concert.

“Especially for us where we’re still building in this market, it can be like a little hit or miss sometimes. I would rather have 40 or 50 people out there with the smaller stage, than 40 or 50 people in here with the bigger stage,” he said referring to the club’s other, larger stage. “When you have 40 or 50 people in an intimate room it can feel really good still.”

As the performance went on, the audience kept swaying and dancing to the beat of IndigoSun’s music. The hula hoops came back out and people continued to sing along. Liss danced to the beat of his band’s music when he was not singing.

Liss said that the goal for their performance was to uplift their audience and make them have more faith in the world when they left the concert.

“We definitely hope to create motion in people,” Liss said.

“Get them up, get them dancing. We want to really uplift people and give them an experience of healing, and make them feel that after the show they’ve gained a little more positivity and feel more positive overall.”

Mike Cantella, bassist of IndigoSun, said he thinks the band is unique due to their goal to give people a healing experience during the show.

“I’ve never been in a group, musically or otherwise, that embodies its intention from creation all the way to performance,” Cantella said. “It’s not a front, it’s all just honest and genuine, which is the best kind of music I can think of.”

University hosts 143rd May Commencement

Alumnus Colonel Michael Hopkins defines his journey to success during his Commencement speech

BY TYLER DAVIS MANAGING EDITOR

In Memorial Stadium at 11:48 a.m. on Saturday, the Class of 2014 shifted the tassels adorning their graduation caps to the left side, signifying commencement from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.

This is the first time in more than 50 years that the Commencement exercises have been held outside, said Chancellor Phyllis Wise. In years past, the ceremony has been hosted at State Farm Center; however, due to renovations the University deemed Memorial Stadium the best alternative.

The ceremony, the 143rd of its kind, featured Col. Michael Hopkins, NASA astronaut and 1991 graduate of the University, as its Commencement speaker.

Hopkins emphasized that anyone has the power to define their own success — “and if you give that power up, if you let somebody else decide what you need to be, what you need to do or how you must accomplish things, you’re going to miss out on some fantastic opportunities in your careers and in your lives.”

Hopkins, who returned in March from an eight-month sojourn on the International Space Station, said if he had not followed his own vision of success, he may have never became an astronaut, which has been his dream since high school.

He said he appreciated the chancellor’s kind introduction, but he wanted “to tell you the real story behind that biography.”

Hopkins served as captain of the 1991 Fighting Illini football team, but he came to the University for its engineering program.

He did not have an athletic scholarship, and he had not been recruited as a football player. He was a walk-on, and it took four years before he became a full-time starter.

He said he had not been able to attend his own Commencement ceremony because he completed his Bachelor of Science in aerospace engineering in December of his fifth year at the University. Following that, he earned his Master of Science degree in aerospace engineering from Stanford University in 1992.

Hopkins said it took five years before he married his wife, a 1991 alumna whom he had met on campus.

“Let me recap — four years to become a full-time starter on the football team. Four and a half to graduate. And five to convince Julie to marry me,” Hopkins said. “So if someone from the outside was deciding what success should look like for me, I wasn’t doing so well.”

He added that it took him 13 years and four tries to become an astronaut. He first applied for NASA’s astronaut program in 1996, but was turned down for the 1998

Chancellor Wise shakes hands with Colonel Michael Hopkins ‘91, the 2014 commencement speaker during the campuswide commencement ceremony at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. class, for the 2000 class and again for the 2004 class.

“I figured I’d just keep applying until I either made it, or NASA told me don’t bother,” he said.

Finally, he said, he was accepted into the 2009 NASA astronaut class. But he said his journey to the stars began at the University.

“This University didn’t just teach us how to do a job — it gave us the tools and knowledge to recognize our own potential,” Hopkins said. “It gave us the wisdom to understand the truest gauge of success is going to be found in our own hearts.”

In addition to Hopkins, a host of administrators spoke to graduates, including Wise, President Robert Easter and Board of Trustees Chair Christopher Kennedy.

Wise offered congratulations to not only

graduates but their families and friends as well.

“I say to all of those family and friends of the Class of 2014, by investing in the futures of these graduates, by fueling their intellect and inspiring their idealisms, you have also invested in the future of this great nation of ours,” Wise said. “It is an investment from which our world will benefit for generations to come. Thank you for entrusting your students to us for the past few years. We are confident that we are returning to you young people who are ready to be leaders in the world, leaders in their neighborhoods, leaders in the state, in the nation and the globe.”

‘In Whose Honor’ focuses on the removal of Chief Illiniwek

University Native American House hopes to clear American Indian falsities

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

University of Illinois Journalism Professor Jay Rosenstein’s documentary “In Whose Honor” screened at the University of Chicago on Monday, May 12. The film, which was originally released in 1997, voices the concerns of several Native Americans, primarily the concerns of Charlene Teters, who opposes the use of Native Americans as mascots.

The film was shown as part of a Heritage Series at the University of Chicago, and featured remarks from Teters, who is acting president of the National Coalition on Racism in Sports and Media.

“In Whose Honor” focuses on the University’s former mascot, Chief Illiniwek. It follows Teter’s efforts to remove the mascot, which began when she came to the University for her graduate studies. The movie also spotlights other advocates who fought against what they called an offensive, inaccurate representation of Native American culture.

It was ten years after the film was released that the University of Illinois Board of Trustees made the decision to officially retire the Chief.

Rosenstein said that hearing Teters speak

motivated him to make the film.

“I heard her give a talk somewhere, and I was really surprised and shocked about what she had to say, because I had never up until that point thought about how a Native American person might feel about that mascot,” Rosenstein said. “I was so moved by hearing her speak that basically the first goal of the film was, I just thought, ‘More people need to hear her.’”

Rosenstein said he hoped that activists involved in efforts to retire American Indian mascots would take the documentary with them when they gave talks to show it to attendees. He believed it would be a useful tool for activists to help educate people on the sentiments of Native Americans.

“The audience I wanted to reach was anyone who would be open-minded enough to listen,” Rosenstein said.

Rosenstein said he understood the limits to which his film would probably have an effect.

“To a certain degree, I knew that the opinions here were pretty much fixed in stone, and it probably wasn’t going to change a lot of people’s minds here, because so many people had already taken sides in the issue,” he said.

But the film was helpful to those who felt

strongly about the retirement of the Chief.

Beverly Smith, assistant director of Native American House, believes the film is a valuable means to inform people on why many Native Americans feel the mascot needed to be removed.

“We encourage all students to watch the documentary, ‘In Whose Honor,’” Smith said.

She said that the Native American House primarily focuses on educating everyone and anyone who is interested in learning about Native American culture and events.

Smith also said that Native Americans on campus want to help people understand why the University reached the decision to retire the Chief and why Native American House supports that decision.

Rosenstein’s film has helped illustrate that point for many Native Americans who believe American Indian mascots are offensive.

Jamie Magleby Singson, director of Native American House, said another focus for the Native American community is working with international students.

“We want to help them see contemporary Native Americans in modernity versus what they’ve been exposed to in the media,” Sing-

son said. “We also want them to see the rich fabric of long-lasting diversity in the U.S.” Now Native Americans on campus are looking to move forward and educate people on the current issues Native American students face seven years after the University’s decision to retire the Chief.

Smith said enrollment numbers for Native American students at the University are at a 10-year all-time low.

There are a total of 31 undergraduate, graduate and professional Native American students at the University, according to the Division of Management Information’s spring 2014 statistical abstract of 10-day enrollment.

“It is a problem,” Smith said. “I don’t know whose responsibility it is, whether it’s the people in charge of enrollment or individual colleges, but it’s a problem.”

For now, Native American House will focus its efforts to move beyond the false representations of American Indians and to establish understanding and education to all members of the community.

T

Congratulations class of 2014: Welcome to the real world

he real world has never been closer than it is today for the approximately 4,000 graduates in the Class of 2014.

Unless they plan to extend their stay in cushy academia for a bit longer by attending graduate school, of course.

It’s hard to believe that just a few years ago, many of these seniors had just stepped onto this campus as fresh faced first-year students, largely oblivious to the temptations and stressors of this enormous campus.

Now — preferably after a night (or two) of well-deserved celebration — they step off this campus, armed with everything they’ve learned in the past several years, and into the real world. Outside of the Urbana-Champaign community, internships, careers and life itself awaits.

Once again, they will be fresh faced first-year students. This time, they’re enrolled in the School of Life. The good news? The base cost is quite a bit cheaper than your tuition here.

Luckily, these “freshmen” will probably not be shouted at as they stroll down the bike lane.

They probably won’t have to share a bedroom with some disgusting stranger. They probably won’t have to share their shower with 50 other people. Verbal abuse, however, is a distinct possibility. You’re always going to have to put up with something starting from the bottom.

But how else do you reach the top? You all heard Col. Mike Hopkins on Saturday at Commencement — you define your own success. You must make your own goals. Then you draft it into a tweet on your iPhone and send it off with an emoji.

In all honesty though, this college thing is hard work, but no one ever said it was easy.

I suppose that’s what makes a college degree such an admirable thing in today’s world. It depicts a strong commitment to meet a goal and a willingness to put up with basically any seemingly ridiculous thing your boss tells you to do. That’s what an employer wants to see.

Not everyone made it all the way to Commencement, either. We all have friends who were slapped with academic probation early on and just didn’t adapt quickly enough.

Some friends dropped out. Some friends may have had too much fun and decided to extend their stay at the University for a bit longer.

All of that is what makes your degree so impressive. You’ve shaped up to be more of a success than everyone else who didn’t make it.

This campus of 40,000 is natural selection at its finest.

If anything, the college experience is a youth’s first introduction to independent life.

You can still count on your parents, but not to the extent you were able to in high school.

You learn to develop your own support groups and your own habits that allow you to achieve success. You learn what works, you learn what doesn’t.

But now you’re here — a college graduate.

And then you’re off onto a journey that hopefully tops this one.

Congratulations to the Class of 2014 — it was hard work, but you made it. If you rise to the standards of the alumni before you, maybe someday your name will be printed above the fold on the front page of The Daily Illini.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

NICKI HALENZA Opinions editor

I

sat at my usual desk in the corner of the classroom flipping through the pages of my spiral notebook, absorbing any last-minute details from my notes that might help me during my final exam. Though I had put in hours of studying prior, I have a deepseeded belief that scanning my notes that one last time will automatically improve my test grade — and don’t try to tell me otherwise. I enjoy my small superstitions.

Meanwhile, the class chatter around me started to grow into a dull roar as my classmates bombarded our instructor with questions and concerns before the test, which ultimately turned into unnecessary complaints.

“Do we have to answer ALL of the questions on the exam?”

“Can you tell us the answers?”

“Can this just be optional?”

“Let’s just not take the exam and say we did.”

While many comments were snarky and in jest, all the same, I rolled my eyes as I listened to 20-something-year-olds regress into childhood as they whined over the threat of a single test. In fact, a

few friends from a different major told me that their class was able to coax their way out of their final — you know, the final that had been clearly labeled on the syllabus since day one that should have been no surprise to anyone, as with all exams.

But, even still, that never seems to stop the onslaught of grumbles when test time arrives.

And what does this teach young adults, ladies and gentleman? Maybe if you whine loud and hard enough, you won’t have to do anything in life that you don’t want to do. Although I understand the labor that goes into studying for exams and, ultimately, into any sort of work, I think there comes a point where one just needs to suck it up.

So as a gentle reminder to college students, we are here to learn — and to hopefully become better, more productive versions of ourselves. That involves hard work.

When I see students, and young people in general, looking for the easy way out of something they simply don’t want to do, such as tests they have been aware of all semester, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of irritation.

And I don’t speak as though I am the beacon of a model student or a perfect example of someone who takes every bit of work thrown my way with grace and ease. Heck, I sometimes find my day worth complaining about if I don’t have the right kind of cereal in the morning (because nothing is worse than

running out of Reese’s Puffs). But I am also aware of my sometimes ridiculous expectations (like having 24/7 access to Reese’s Puffs), and try to catch myself when I undeservedly complain about something simply because I don’t want to do it.

Learning how to step up to the plate and challenge yourself is something I have found imperative to the process of growing up. Taking on difficult tasks builds character — it’s uncomfortable, it can feel inconveniencing, but it’s worth it in the end. Though it’s easy to stomp your feet in opposition to anything that’s mildly difficult, where will that leave you later?

It will probably leave you nowhere worth being.

Granted, this is not meant to speak for everyone, or disregard those who put immense time and effort into their work, but it is meant as a reminder for the others — those who think complaining before a final exam is an effective way to avoid a necessary evil.

Many of us 20-somethings need to buck up and stop proving every stereotype out there about privileged, ungrateful college students. We are better than whining our way out of a test. We are better than holding some unnecessary sense of entitlement.

So let’s take our thumbs out of our mouths and prove it.

School of Architecture honors fallen graduate Motorcycle accident takes life of University student

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Less than 48 hours after Paul Davidson died in a motorcycle accident Friday evening, the School of Architecture convocation he was to take part in honored his life and paid tribute to his death.

Davidson was a senior in architecture and was set to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in architectural studies on Sunday morning.

When Davidson’s name was called at the time he was to receive his diploma, participants held a moment of silence to honor him.

Professors paid tribute to Davidson and offered condolences to his friends and family, sharing what they remembered about him.

“He was known as a big guy with a big personality and even a bigger heart,” said David Chasco, professor of architecture and director of the school. “Paul was a very good person who always made us laugh.”

Paul transferred to the University from the College of DuPage in 2012. After graduation, he was going to begin his master’s degree in architecture this fall at the University.

“Truly, Paul would have contributed to the profession,” Chasco added.

Al Ochsner, a Master of Architecture graduate this year, knew Davidson.

“He was someone whose presence you really never missed. You always knew he was there,” Ochsner said. “He was a great student, and an even better person.”

Associate Professor of architecture

Abbas Aminmansour said Davidson was in his steel design course last fall and concrete course this spring semester.

Davidson took his final exam in the concrete course Friday afternoon, a few short hours before his death.

“Paul was a brilliant student and a great guy,” Aminmansour said. “He always sat in the front row in class. He was very attentive, and he volunteered to answer many questions for the class.”

Aminmansour said Davidson stood out outside of the classroom as well.

“In addition to being an outstanding student, Paul was a very nice person,” he said. “We often talked before and after class and joked about things. I believe that he is in a better place now.”

Davidson was an active member of the

Gargoyle Architecture Honor Society, and had previously served in the military.

“As a military veteran, Paul had a maturity and dedication that few students have,” Chasco said. “This is an unbelievably sad tragedy ... Paul will be dearly missed.”

Professor and Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts Edward Feser added, “We are stronger because we knew him, and we won’t forget him.”

Davidson, of Lemont, Illinois, was pronounced dead at 11:03 p.m. on Friday at Carle Foundation Hospital after a motorcycle versus automobile crash at the intersection of University and Lincoln avenues.

Alpha Phi Omega mourns loss of member, graduate Police investigating circumstances of death

BY AUSTIN KEATING INTERIM EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

He loved smiling. He loved Super Smash Brothers, Settlers of Catan and having fun, but most of all, Krzysztof Jablonski loved Alpha Phi Omega — his service fraternity.

On Sunday, a crowd of about a hundred of his fraternity brothers and sisters joined with other campus friends to commemorate his life, because on Friday, Jablonski was pronounced dead after falling from his apartment complex at Park Place Tower, 202 E. Green St. The Champaign County Coroner and the Champaign Police Department are still investigating the circumstances of Jablonski’s death.

The crowd gathered around a table of Jablonski’s belongings, holding small candles, dribbling wax on the pavement in front of Noyes Laboratory as Jablonski’s friends shared fond memories.

“As a servant, he selflessly dedicated his time toward elevating the communities that he was a part of,” said Vikram Reddy, brother from APO, as he read from the ceremony sheet. “Many knew him for his big dreams, everyone knew him for his open arms.”

On the table, Jablonski’s graduation ropes and sash drooped off the side along with several other of his belongings, including a picture of him smiling his typical chin-to-chin smile and a box that held a growing pile of letters addressed to Jablonski’s family.

APO is a service fraternity with over 700 members at the University chapter alone, and Jablonski spent much of his time during the fall semester helping some of the new pledges integrate into the group and grow

as leaders, said Dustin Martin, one of four advisers to APO. “He was a tremendous student, and he’s really going to be missed. The fact that over a hundred students who were not here — who had already gone home — came back to campus says a lot about the impact that he has had.”

When Jablonski first joined APO as a sophomore, he stood out to Martin.

“His competitiveness — oh my God,” he said with a laugh.

Brian Rooney, another member of the fraternity, was in Jablonski’s retreat group. He held meetings with Rooney and other members from the group and spurred discussion, growth and competition at recreational sporting events.

“One of the most memorable things I can remember of him is when at one of the meetings in the auditorium, the Eagles were in last place and Krzysztof was not very happy with that,” Rooney said. “He dressed up with golden wings and these tiny, tiny shorts and he ran ... he came through absolutely shameless.”

Jablonski showed him how to live, both in and outside the fraternity. And Rooney’s not the only one, the dozen or so other speakers echoed the lessons Jablonski taught them.

“Ever since then I’ve definitely had a little more pride in taking on a lot of different things from APO,” Rooney said. “And it’s because he was not afraid to do something stupid or silly or fun because life is too short to not.”

University men’s golf team advances in NCAA

Illini men’s golf team wins regionals, heads to NCAA Championships for 7th year in a row

BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

The Illinois men’s golf team is back where it’s supposed to be.

Two weeks after finishing second in the Big Ten Championship, breaking a fiveyear winning streak, the Illini won their NCAA regional on Saturday, guaranteeing a spot in the NCAA Championships for the seventh straight year. The Sugar Grove, Illinois, regional was hosted by Northern Illinois.

Junior Brian Campbell, the Big Ten Player of the Year, took home individual honors in the 54-hole tournament, finishing five-under-par and winning by four strokes. “(Campbell) had a big lead midway through the round, but he persevered better than anybody all week,” head coach Mike Small said in a press release. “He had some tough stretches but fought back from it. Regional champ is big medal to have.”

The second-seeded Illini (16-over) won the tournament by two strokes over UAB (18-over), Illinois was in second by one stroke heading into the last day. The top five teams at the regional advanced to the 30-team NCAA Championships in Hutchinson, Kansas, starting Friday.

The other four teams that qualified were

UAB, Purdue (30-over), California (32over) and USC (32-over). Illinois is one of five schools to make seven straight NCAA Championships. The others are Texas A&M, Texas, UCLA and USC. “Seven in a row is pretty cool,” Small said. “That speaks volumes for these kids year after year.”

After Campbell, sophomore Thomas Detry tied for 11th, sophomore Charlie Danielson, the Big Ten Champion, tied for 15th, senior Jonathan Hauter tied for 25th and junior Alex Burge tied for 53rd. Illinois has the same roster as last season minus 2012 NCAA Champion Thomas Pieters.

Illinois won the regional one year after winning its first regional in school history. Last season, Illinois finished fifth at the NCAA Championships stroke play, advancing to the eight-team match play tournament.

During the match play portion, Illinois defeated defending NCAA Champion Texas and No. 1 California before losing to Alabama in the championship match.

This year’s Illinois squad is ranked higher than last year’s.

Previous Stanley Cup Playoff matchups fighting for a place in finals

A look into the franchise of Chicago, Los Angeles, Montreal and New York NHL teams battling in conference finals SEAN NEUMANN Staff writer

J

ust past the halfway point of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and it’s already been an exciting postseason for the NHL. With three Original Six teams and the last two Stanley Cup champions in the conference finals, there’s a historic matchup brewing for the finals.

Chicago, Los Angeles, Montreal and New York are battling to lift the Cup, so here’s a look at what’s at stake for each franchise:

Second Cup in L.A. Would Legitimize the Franchise Yes, Los Angeles has already won a Stanley Cup, but no West Coast team has ever brought it home more than once. It’s no secret that American

sports coverage is heavily focused on the East Coast and it’s no different in the NHL, with the primary focus on the Eastern Conference. But each major victory for the west is another victory for expansion. Another championship, and more importantly a second in three years, would help the Kings make a real name for themselves across the league.

In 2012, the team was an underdog — the eighth seed in the Western Conference that needed a win on the final day of the regular season to even make the playoffs. And in some ways, they are still underdogs — expected to lose to Anaheim but fighting out of a 3-1 hole to win the series. However, with the momentum from a dramatic comeback against the Ducks, there’s every reason to believe Los Angeles can pull out another unexpected trip to the final. If Anze Kopitar (19 points) and Marian Gaborik (15 points), who lead the playoffs in points, can lead the Kings to another Stanley Cup, hockey may grow a lot stronger than it already is out west.

Another Cup in Chicago Will Solidify its Dynasty

Canadiens Playing for all of Canada

The Chicago Blackhawks don’t need the Stanley Cup, but if they win again the team will solidify itself as a dynasty.

Chicago is closing in on back-to-back championships and its third Stanley Cup victory in the past five seasons.

Three championships in five years would put Chicago near the same level as the late-’90s Detroit Red Wings, the ‘80s Edmonton Oilers and late-’50s Montreal Canadiens as one of the best teams in NHL history. The thing about Chicago is the franchise’s success was long-term and strategic. The team’s core — Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith — was drafted. This is a homegrown team that won two Stanley Cups, brought home a President’s Trophy (2012-13) and had a 24-game point streak all in the past 5 seasons.

The Blackhawks are certainly one of the best franchises in the past decade, but another Cup would make the team legendary.

Montreal is the most decorated and historic franchise in the NHL. While it may pain many to say, it seems like the Stanley Cup belongs there after 24 championships dating back to 1916. Its natural resting place is Montreal.

The most appealing thing about the idea of Montreal winning the Stanley Cup is the scene it would make in Canada. The Canadiens haven’t won a Cup since 1993 and is in the midst of the longest championship drought in franchise history — the 2000s was the only decade in which the team didn’t win a championship. But more importantly to the country, no Canadian team has won a cup since that ‘93 team. If the Canadiens were able to get past a hot New York team and win a championship, it wouldn’t just bring the Stanley Cup back to Montreal, it would bring it home to an entire country waiting to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs.

NHL Championship Would Rejuvenate New York Hockey On the opposing side to Montreal is the New York Rangers. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing near the level of adoration the Canadiens receive from Canadians, the Rangers are very much one of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams.â&#x20AC;?

The red, white and blue jerseys are a dead giveaway, but the Original Six label

and the urban backdrop of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location give it a history unlike any other in the country.

The Rangers have had a similar drought to the Canadiens, failing to even reach the Stanley Cup Finals since they won in 1994.

A championship would keep the Stanley Cup in the Original Six circle, but would also re-energize one of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest franchises.

Illini finish 2nd at Outdoor Big Tens

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track takes 3 individual titles, records its highest team point finish since 1994 DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

The Fighting Illini Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track and field team placed second at the 2014 Big Ten Outdoor Championships. The team totaled 109 points, which is, to record, the highest team finish since 1994.

Three Illini were crowned conference champions, as Stephon Pamilton and Vanier Joseph successfully defended their titles, while Joe McAsey captured his first Big Ten title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really proud of these guys,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Mike Turk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We faced a lot of adversity, and we had some problems with travel plans and hotels. These guys just took all that in stride, which is really difficult to do coming off of final exams, and really put together a great team performance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard when after two days of competition youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sitting in last place with 12 points, even though you have a lot of qualifiers and good things coming, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for a team to believe and stick with it but we did that. We showed a lot of resiliency and resolve to follow through with what our mission was and we came really close.â&#x20AC;?

The Illini finished one-two in the 400m, with Pamilton, a senior, winning his second consecutive outdoor 400m conference title.

He clocked a personal-best time of 45.91, the sixth-fastest time in school history, to capture his fourth overall Big Ten title in the event. Just behind Pamilton, DJ Zahn placed second with a personal-best time of 45.92 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the seventh-fastest time in school history.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stephon Pamilton was just amazing,â&#x20AC;?

Turk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The willpower that he has to compete and not accept mediocrity and to push himself is terrific. It was great that he broke 46 seconds and won the 400m, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more amazing what he did in the 200m. He was dehydrated and on the table in the tent and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure he was going to answer the bell for the 200m, so for him to come out and get third place out of lane one is just unbelievable.â&#x20AC;?

Joseph, a senior, defended his 110m hurdles title and remains undefeated in the event this season. He clocked a time of 13.68, his second-fastest time of the season, to claim a second straight conference title in the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the 110m hurdles, Vanier Joseph gave a great veteran performance. He ran with a lot of confidence,â&#x20AC;? Turk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great hurdles field and for him to take control after a shaky race in yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prelims was really clutch.â&#x20AC;?

McAsey claimed the third event title of the day in the 800m. The indoor runnerup clocked a personal best of 1:47.73, the ninth-fastest time in school history. Turk said McAsey competed after a year of inactivity due to stress fractures, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so for him to go through the pain of rehab and come back and dominate against some really good runners is just fantastic.â&#x20AC;?

Turk added that knowing McAsey will be back for a couple more years is â&#x20AC;&#x153;very comforting.â&#x20AC;?

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track places last at Big Ten Outdoor Championships DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
