C-U hears from local officals on landfill bill

BY NATHANIEL LASH STAFF WRITER

As a bill that would limit the disposal of chemical wastes over water sources moves through the Illinois General Assembly, city officials and researchers are voicing concerns about a plan that would allow the dumping of hazardous wastes into a Clinton, Ill., landfill situated over a major regional water source.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently looking into whether to award a permit to Peoria Disposal to dump polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, at an already existing facility in DeWitt County. Although the chemical waste landfill would be lined with a triple layer of plastic liner to separate it from the ground, opponents are concerned that accidental leakage of PCBs — which the U.S. EPA designates a “probable carcinogen” — could endanger the Mahomet Aquifer, a large body of groundwater that is a major source of central Illinois’ drinking and agricultural water.

Members of the Cham-

paign-Urbana community got a chance to hear from local officials, including Joe Hooker, Champaign assistant city attorney, on Thursday, at a town hall meeting in the University’s Beckman Institute.

“We have a coalition of local governments that have agreed to share the cost of any litigation challenging a U.S. EPA approval of this permit. We’re hopeful of course that they don’t approve it, and that’ll end that, but if they do, we’re preparing for possible litigation,” Hooker said.

That lawsuit — with a bill footed by Champaign, Urbana, Normal, Bloomington, Savoy, Piatt County and Champaign County — has already brought in two attorneys to potentially challenge the landfill if the EPA allows the dumping.

David Holt, secretary of WATCH Clinton Landfill Association, said at the town hall meeting that the recent involvement of municipalities in opposing the chemical waste landfill has changed the way the issue is being handled since it was first brought up in 2007.

“That has totally changed the nature of this initiative,” Holt said. “There’s more attention on this than there ever has been, and this is the time where that attention needs to be placed on it.”

The lawsuit isn’t the only effort that could keep PCBs from being buried in Clinton.

A bill making its way through the state legislature provides that if hazardous wastes are disposed of over an aquifer, approval must come from all the counties that draw water from that aquifer. The green light, pending U.S. EPA approval, is currently given by the county where the landfill is located — Dewitt County in this particular case.

Right now, Chapin Rose, R-Charleston, says that House Bill 6153 will face the task of getting through the house executive committee, even after going through the environment and energy committee. HB6153 is expected to be reviewed by the committee on Tuesday.

“Dangerous chemicals and landfills can threaten to contaminate these water sources while those who rely on them

have little-to-no say,” said bill co-sponsor and state representative Naomi Jakobsson, D-103, in a press release.

“It is vital that all the vested parties have a seat at the table before any chemicals are approved to be disposed above or near an aquifer.”

Rafael Gonzalez, head of the U.S. EPA Region 5, said the agency should make a determination in November or December, later than the already-passed date in April that was previously expected.

“We at the EPA have decided to take these additional steps to secure the health of the community at large that will hopefully give us a real good idea of which way to make a determination,” Gonzalez said, explaining that the EPA is taking more measurements of the regional hydrogeology before they make a decision.

As the U.S. EPA reviews the permit, federal lawmakers are also taking a look at the proposal. Illinois’ representatives in the U.S. Senate — Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican Mark Kirk — have also expressed “strong

David Holt, co-founder of WATCH Clinton Landfill, speaks at a town hall meeting concerning the Mahomet Aquifer on Thursday at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. concern” about the landfill, sending a letter earlier this month to the EPA. Additionally, Hooker said that the municipality and county coalition is also preparing to designate the Mahomet Aquifer as a solesource aquifer, which would afford the water source additional protections.

“The engineering technology they’re proposing for the

landfill, combined with the uncertainties of the hydrology and geology, make it pretty unlikely that over the time that the PCBs will remain in a toxic condition, that they won’t at some point leak out of this landfill and get into the aquifer,” he said. “This is more a matter of expediency than some sort of necessity that got the landfill facility there already.”

U.S. Rep. leads inquiry into firm’s bankruptcy Johnson pushes for MF Global CEO to “step up to the plate”

BY GEORGE COVENTRY STAFF WRITER

Congressman Tim Johnson, R-15, seeks independent counsel to investigate MF Global Holdings Ltd.’s bankruptcy.

Johnson is the lead voice in seeking an independent counsel to investigate MF Global’s mishandling of over $1.6 billion in client investments.

MF Global was a leading global brokerage firm that filed for bankruptcy in October 2011, the eighth largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.

Under the CEO leadership of Jon Corzine, the firm did not keep client funds separate from its own, and now those funds have gone missing.

A supposed loophole in federal regulations passed by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, CFTC Regulation 1.25, gave MF Global flexibility to invest client money in sovereign debt and has allowed Corzine to avoid criminal charges so far.

However, Johnson believes that there is

no such loophole in federal regulations and that Corzine has broken multiple state and federal laws.

“I don’t know that there really is a loophole in the law,” Johnson said. “He might be claiming that there is, but the reality is that there is at least a strong reason to believe that his actions and those of some of his associates may have violated a variety of state or federal statutes or regulatory restrictions ... there’s a lot of reason to believe that he’s in violation of federal law, and that’s what we’re going to ask a special prosecutor to determine.”

The former MF Global clients have yet to receive any compensation for their missing investments.

However, Johnson said those pushing for further investigation against MF Global want to do everything they can to ensure that former clients who lost money will be reimbursed.

The House Agriculture Committee questioned Corzine on the details surrounding MF Global’s bankruptcy in December 2011, and Johnson took a lead role on the investigation panel.

“I asked (Corzine) at our hearing if he was willing to stand behind his company and reimburse the people, and his obvious answer was no,” said Johnson. “At this point, there’s an injustice waiting to be rectified. Whether he’s willing to step up to the

plate or whether we’re going to force him to step up to the plate is a different issue.”

Multiple congressional committees have questioned Corzine since December and none of his testimony has led to any criminal indictments against him.

While questions swirled around the collapse of MF Global, Corzine gave $70,000 in donations and bundled more than $500,000 from Wall Street for President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign.

The $70,000 was later returned to Corzine by President Obama’s campaign after its acceptance drew heavy criticism from many, including Johnson, who is now pushing for an independent counsel to investigate Corzine.

Johnson believes the U.S. attorney is a in a “position of conflict” since he works for President Obama, who has close ties to Corzine.

“He’s lavishing the money to live a very grand lifestyle and raise money for the president, but not money to compensate the poor investors. ... That’s part of the reason we need a special prosecutor,” Johnson said. “The U.S. Attorney is clearly in a position of conflict when the U.S. Attorney’s boss, namely President Obama, is a major beneficiary of Senator Corzine, who has bundled millions of dollars for his reelection campaign. That’s why an independent council is important.”

Johnson, Corzine share both University ties and political experience Tim Johnson and Jon Corzine both share common ties to the University.

Both were Phi Beta Kappa graduates from the University class of ‘69. However, they did not know each other during their college years.

Corzine went on to become the CEO of Goldman Sachs from 1994 to 1999 and later turned to politics.

Before becoming the head of MF Global, Corzine served as a New Jersey senator from 2001-06 and served as the 54th Governor of New Jersey from 2006-10.

For more than 30 years, Congressman Johnson was an Urbana lawyer, small businessman, realtor, farm operator and educator and now serves as the U.S. Representative for the 15th Illinois Congressional District.

He was re-elected to a sixth term in November 2010 and recently won a seventh Republican nomination in the Illinois Primary held in March.

Johnson unexpectedly announced in April that he plans to retire after his current term ends in order to spend more time with his family.

Student Sustainable Farm finds summer success

BY HANNAH MEISEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Sustainable Student Farm’s summer season is in full swing following Thursday’s premiere of the new “folding farm” at its weekly stand.

In a partnership with the Illini Union, the Sustainable Student Farm, or SSF, sells its produce Thursday’s on the Main Quad from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. During the academic year, the SSF’s produce goes to University Housing to be used by campus dining halls, but during the summer months, the farm stand becomes a focus.

New to the effort this year is the SSF’s folding farm, a trailer-style attachment to a bicycle, designed to transport produce from the farm around the community in a reliable way.

The folding farm is complete with areas for produce bins and an awning for shade. The project was a collaboration between the SSF and a graduate level architecture class.

Zack Grant, manager of the SSF, said the hope for the folding farm is not just a way for the farm to sell its produce, but also as a branding tool.

“This is probably going to be the most prominent feature of the farm stand now,” he said.

“This is going to be the thing people are going to recognize and know what the student farm is.”

The premiere farm stand of the season saw an overwhelming amount of business; the SSF nearly sold out its entire 250 pounds of stock last week. While the equipment itself needs

a few tweaks mechanically, Grant said the 2.5 miles from the South Farms to the Quad, “logistically works really well.”

The farm is also transitioning into its summer crops, which include tomatoes. Grant said the tomatoes and various other vegetables will be ready for harvesting and selling in late June to early July. In the early weeks of the farm stand, salad greens will be the primary product, including kale, mizuna and arugula.

Tim Smith, farm worker, encourages students to try produce from the farm based off his own experiences with the food grown on the farm.

“We both changed our opinion of lettuce,” Smith said, referring to himself and fellow farm worker Sara Kammlade. “Before we thought it was mostly water, very low nutritional panel kind of plant. But the stuff we grow here is very flavorful, some of it’s very sugary.”

In addition to transplanting and selling the new crops, the SSF has a busy summer finishing the next phase of its wash and pack station, another collaboration with an architecture class. The station aims to improve the efficiency of washing and packing harvested produce.

Kammlade explained she and the other workers and volunteers currently wash produce in large tubs filled with water from a hose.

She said the new system, when completed, will save much time.

Grant said more than selling the produce at the stand, his goal this summer and beyond is to have each student at the University be aware

“The exciting and progressive thing about our farm that’s different from other student farms are these collaborations,” he said. “You

never would have thought ‘Architecture and a farm — how do those go together?’ But we’ve shown with this collaboration that they can go together and you can get some really amazing results out of it.”

Ill. student senators revisit student code

BY GEORGE COVENTRY STAFF WRITER

Jim Maskeri, University student senator, released a statement on the proposed revisions to the Student Code that mainly focus on academic integrity, sections 1-401 through 1-406.

The Conference on Conduct Governance, or CCG, adopted a motion to postpone any further debate regarding academic integrity until the 2012 fall semester. The motion stipulates that the sponsor of the proposed revisions must first seek input from the Illinois Student Senate, or ISS, and the Academic Senate’s Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure before final action would be taken to revise the Student Code. The conference and Chancellor Phyllis Wise will discuss, alter and adopt the proposed revisions at the beginning of next academic school year and have them go into effect immediately by sending out a mass email rather than the normal routine of reissuing print editions that list any revisions.

According to the release, Dean of Students Kenneth Ballom and the Director of Student Conflict Resolution Brian Farber agreed to meet with ISS, receive questions and hear concerns.

The meeting will likely be conducted either via a meeting of the Commit-

tee on Academic Affairs or at the first general meeting of the senate during the fall semester.

Anyone who wishes to participate in the meeting will be able to do so.

The meeting may be postponed further if the Chancellor makes the decision to overrule the conference’s recommendation.

The conference also adopted a senate recommendation to change 3-505 through 1-506, mandating that components of the student-initiated fee will have to go up for a student vote at least once every four years. The recommendation must be approved by the Chancellor to go into effect. The first two programs to be under review by the student body at the 2012 fall referendum are the Collegiate Readership and Krannert Center for the Performing Arts fees. The Student Organization Resource Fee and ISS-backed proposals aimed at raising the limiting on performing events from $2,500 to $5,000 in 2-507 of the Student Code were adopted by the conference as well. The student members of the CCG motioned to add students — one graduate and one undergraduate — to the coordinating committee on entertainment events.

The charter for the proposals received unanimous approval from the CCG. It will be sent to Wise for final approval.

Deferred maintenance funds aid University construction initiatives Summer renovations of Noyes, Greg Hall address structures’ age, issues

BY KYLE MILNAMOW SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTOR

Around campus, the summer months are a prime time for construction projects. Two major projects around the Quad, involving Noyes Laboratory and Gregory Hall, will take place until September.

Both construction projects are being done through the University’s deferred maintenance programs. Deferred maintenance, according to the University’s Facilities and Services website, is defined as the upkeep of buildings and equipment postponed from an entity’s normal operating budget cycle due to a lack of funds.

That means the projects around campus will receive money from different resources that will help repair problems that have been getting worse through the years and can’t be fixed with a school’s regular budget.

The Noyes project started its exterior repairs near the end of April. The repairs are going toward getting the building back to historical value. This means repairing over 100 chimneys — though not any of them are used anymore — grinding the bricks on the outside, replacing old windows with new ones and repairing the northwest corner from settling.

The northwest corner has been facing problems from the years of back up in the storm systems. With the fixing of the settling issue, the University is adding an underground retention base to the southwest part of the Quad that would take over the storm guttering process from Mathews Avenue.

“(The problem is) very minute,” said Ken Wooldridge, the operating manager at Noyes. “Due to that, they wanted to shore that corner of the building up so we don’t have huge structural issues in the future. Mainly just a (preventative) measure to get everything shored back up to where it should be in relationship to the building foundation.”

The other main project being done this summer is the replacing of windows around the building. Wooldridge said the main reason for the change is to save energy.

Noyes’ projects started about two years ago with talks of renovation. The budget is $3.5 million, with much of the funding coming from the Academic Facilities Maintenance Fund Assessment (AFMFA), which is a fund paid for by students for repairs.

“Campus is allowed a lot of deferred maintenance money throughout the year, and there are all kinds of projects,” Wooldridge said. “Some of it’s student dollars, some of it’s state’s dollars, but the fact is that the deferred maintenance money is allotted based on need. So when you have a building that’s getting this age, we start looking at those dollars. And Facilities and Services approached us and said, ‘We have some dollars to put to this building, and we wanna try to do the right thing.’”

Noyes construction has closed off many entrances around the building. The only doors currently open to the public are the doors on the south end of the building and the northeast door.

While Noyes begins their repairs, Gregory Hall enters phase two of its own construction process.

After installing new windows and grinding the bricks on the outside, much like what Noyes is going through right now, Gregory Hall now focuses its attention on fixing the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system

in the west wing and renovating all bathrooms.

The project, which has a budget of around $5.9 million, is also funded by the AFMFA. This process, however, is on the internal part of the building and will also look to end near the fall.

Andrew Blacker, publicity promotion specialist for Facilities and Services, said the flow of the process was planned carefully to make sure that all the projects build upon each other.

“Part of it is a planning and a funding issue. They began planning for the renovations throughout the building and identifying what they needed to do and then the best way to accommodate that in 2007 and kind of coming up with an over-arching conceptual plan for renovations for that building. ... They’ve been doing different components of it and time all that. The first phase of the HVAC system was timed with the electrical system replacement at the same time. So it was able to support the HVAC system when they were putting that in.”

Blacker said that before construction begins, the University takes all the proper measurements to help the students currently enrolled in summer school.

“We work closely with the office of facility management and scheduling, which schedules all the general used classrooms,” Blacker said. “So clearly they are part of the decision-making, and they’re aware of what’s happening. So it might be instead of using those classrooms during the summer semester, they’re using somewhere else.”

Once Gregory Hall’s renovation are complete, a good portion of their deferred maintenance project will be done.

Noyes still has projects to do for the west classrooms, according to the Facility and Services deferred maintenance website. Those dates have yet to be announced.

CPD holds open house to educate masses

BY STEVEN VAZQUEZ ASSISTANT ASSIGNMENT EDITOR

The Champaign Police Department’s K-9 Unit, special weapons and tactics team, hostage negotiations team, crime scene technicians and explosive ordinance disposal unit all came out last Monday for a day of demonstrations and presentations for the Champaign community. It was the department’s first annual open house. The event took place during National Police Week — a week in which the country recognizes the services and sacrifices of United States law enforcement.

“What we wanted to do is take the opportunity to just educate our community about law enforcement professionals, specifically the Champaign Police Department,” Champaign Police Chief Anthony Cobb said. “As we’re doing that, we want the public to take some positive things away from this, so we’re doing demonstrations out here to give the public a chance to see what the SWAT team and other specialized units would do in certain scenarios.”

Each unit had a chance to demonstrate a certain situation where they would be called upon.

One such scenario was a suspect experiencing excited delirium: a brain disorder that is usually drug-related and includes symptoms of bizarre, aggressive behavior, violence toward others and hyperthermia.

Chief Cobb explained this disorder as something law enforcement needs to be able to recognize because it can cause death if not properly handled. The person suffering exhibits dangerous and usually criminal behavior, but in reality they are not themselves. Cobb said this is something the CPD has taken very seriously, which is why they wanted to educate the public about it and demonstrate their training for it.

The unique aspect about these specialized units is that every member is a regular patrol officer or detective. Being a part of the specialized units and taking on the training for them is something the officers do voluntarily.

Normal CPD duties are of higher priority, but when distinctive situations arise, members of the specialized units have the training to negotiate with a criminal who is holding hostages, or even defuse an explosive.

Chief Cobb said he was told by city staff that

The Champaign Police Department’s K-9 Unit, special weapons and tactics team, hostage negotiations team, crime scene technicians and explosive ordinance disposal unit all put on demonstrations. it is customary for the chief to have an open house when they start their tenure, which is how the idea for the annual event came about.

“People want to meet the new chief and I think that’s important, but my idea was, ‘If we’re going to do an open house, don’t let it just be about the new chief, let it be about the

Champaign Police Department and have some educational purpose,’” he said.

Cobb said he plans to make this an annual event for the duration of his tenure as police chief. He sees it as a great way for the police and the public to converse as well as learn from each other.

“Our people are having a good time with it, the public seems to be enjoying it,” Cobb said.

“It’s a great time for us to interact and educate our public and at the same time learn. A lot of citizens come in with great questions and suggestions. It’s great to have those kinds of resources.”

Annual memorial honors fallen police officers

BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

Champaign Police Chief Anthony Cobb stepped up to the podium in Westside Park on Thursday to address a crowd filled with government officials, police officers, firefighters and Champaign county residents to honor two police officers who, as he said, “made the ultimate sacrifice for the Champaign Police Department.”

The memorialized officers were Thomas Dodsworth, who was shot and killed on July 6, 1913, while attempting to arrest two bootlegging suspects, and Robert Tatman, who was shot and killed in the line of duty on Nov. 25, 1967. Tatman’s shooter was never found and the case is still open.

In the front row for Champaign’s annual police memorial service, on a bench to Cobb’s right, sat a proud 92 year old Lawrence Tatman. Robert was his son.

“There’s going to be two statues there — a fireman and a

policeman,” Lawrence said as he pointed to the memorial on the northeast corner of Church and State Streets, where his son’s name is. “I hope they have them for next year.”

Lawrence has been coming to the memorial every year since 2009, and this year he was driven by his grandson, Ron Bryant, who was only 4 years old when his uncle Robert died. He doesn’t remember much about the day, except for how sad it was for his family.

“He always looks forward to it,” Bryant said of his grandfather.

As for himself, Bryant said, “It just brings up sad memories.”

“It’s nice. It’s an honor,” Bryant said. “It just lets Grandpa come out here and, you know, think about it, but that’s about all you can do right now.”

Lawrence remembers the day very clearly, though speaking about the moments isn’t as easy.

“We were woken up from sound sleep to tell us that he’d been killed,” Tatman said. ”It was a memory that stuck with everyone.”

This event has become a Champaign tradition and a part of National Police Week. Lawrence hopes it will help people gain a greater respect the fallen law enforcement officers.

“Well this is quite an honor, I think, to have this every year,” Lawrence said. “I believe it’s a good thing to kind of get people thinking about police officers and what they face every day. It kind of brings it home to you that every day they face life or death situations, you always hope for the better.”

The monument is still without the police and firemen statues as well as more bricks to fill out the floor with names of other Champaign officers. Lawrence said he thinks they need to raise more money before it’s built.

“It really should be a beautiful thing when they get it finished,” Lawrence added. “The city should be proud of it.”

SKATING INTO CHAMPAIGN Roller derby gains traction as popular sport in C-U

BY NATHANIEL LASH STAFF WRITER

Flat track roller derby, a sport featuring women skaters, is less than a decade old, but is already gaining traction around the country, including Champaign-Urbana.

The Twin City Derby Girls, or TCDG, rolled into their third home season on Saturday, taking on the Aurora 88s at the University Ice Arena. Over 650 people attended the meet that featured three of TCDG’s home teams.

Kate Browne, who goes by “KateThulu” on the track, said that derby is working its way into the Champaign-Urbana community.

“We have a lot of fan support, but we’re really trying reach out to community members to see what great stuff is going on,” Browne said. “We have all kinds of people who are already connected to the community, and derby is just another way for women and men to get involved.”

Phyllis Thomas, whose daughter “Therafist” skates for The ‘Paign, said that she’s seen the teams develop into stronger, more strategically minded players, as well as developing a deeper fan base. She said that with the larger venue at the University Ice Arena, TCDG should be able to sell more tickets and continue to attract fans.

The sport’s novelty is not lost on participants. The home season opener began with a derby tutorial, where announcers went through the basics of the sport and gave the audience — many of them at their first roller derby bout as evidenced by a show of hands — an understanding of when to cheer the scoring of a point.

Chelsea Norton, TCDG spokeswoman, explained, “It definitely helps new people understand what happens and get a general understanding. It’s also a refresher course (for more experienced fans).”

Thomas Northway, of Urbana, saw his first roller derby bout on Saturday.

“On T.V., it seemed like they’re a lot more brutal, pushing people into the side of the bowls and getting really rough,” he said, adding that he didn’t see as much of that.

One skater from each team is a “jammer,” who pushes past members of the opposite team to score. The other four are “blockers,” who work to make sure their jammer gets through and the opposing jammer doesn’t get past them.

The TCDG recently became a full-member league of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association, the international governing body for roller derby leagues that includes 147 different leagues across the nation and overseas; one of their most recent leagues is based in Berlin, Germany. According to the association, the sport with its birthplace in Austin, Texas, has grown considerably in popularity just over the past decade, from only a single organized league existing in 2001 to about 1,000 on six continents in 2011.

The popularity of the sport continues to grow, with the International Olympic Committee saying last year that roller derby was one of eight sports being considered for the 2020 Olympics Games.

And despite the sport’s legacy

as a women’s sport, TCDG leaders have hinted at the possibility of forming a men’s league as well.

Five different teams comprise the league. Its home pack, represented by three groups of women — the Damagin’ Dames, the Boneyard Bombshells and The ‘Paign — played on Saturday. There’s also a travelwing team and the Vice Quads, a rookie team with new players. Andrea Rundell, Vice Quads coach, has been training the rookie team since tryouts in February.

“It’s our third season and we’re much more established. We’re getting a lot of people to come out and have fun with us,” Rundell said.

TCDG is also partnering with Rape Advocacy Counseling & Education Services, or RACES, donating a portion of the league’s profits to the agency that assists victims of sexual assault and abuse.

“For us, derby is a lot about empowering women, and that’s a wonderful message to convey to people who are survivors of sexual abuse,” Rundell said. “This is about being strong and getting out there and living your life.”

Sports Loss, tiebreaker rule results in end of season for Illinois Baseball fails to make Big Ten Tournament

Illinois loses to No. 1 USC, exits NCAA tourney

BY ELIOT SILL ASSIGNMENT EDITOR

BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

The Illinois baseball team will be on the outside looking in for the Big Ten Tournament.

The Illini fell to Minnesota 8-3 on Saturday in a game that in many ways felt like a microcosm of the entire 2012 baseball season.

Illinois came into the year with 18 players on the opening day roster that had never played an inning at Illinois and called on redshirt freshman Drasen Johnson to pitch the biggest game of his Division-I career.

Illinois knew coming into the game that they needed to win to get into the Big Ten Tournament and anything else would end their season. Trailing 4-1 in the eighth inning a two-out, two-run double by designated hitter Thomas Shelton brought the Illini within one run, just as two victories on Friday and Saturday brought Illinois within one game of the postseason.

The momentum switched to the Illini’s favor as the crowd of 1,126 fans at Illinois field came alive, but the Illini couldn’t get the shutdown inning in the top of the ninth to give themselves a chance. Minnesota tacked on four runs to push the game out of reach and end the Illini’s season.

Illini center fielder and senior leader Willie Argo was standing in the on deck circle when the

“It’s still hard knowing that it’s over,” Argo said. “It made it tough knowing that if we would’ve came out and played how I know we can play we probably would be playing in Columbus next week. It’s tough. We didn’t get our jobs done.”

Illinois finishes in a three-way tie for sixth with Minnesota and Ohio State, two teams the Illini beat two out of three headto-head. However, Ohio State is headed to the Big Ten Tournament because of a tiebreaker technicality that prioritizes

record against common Big Ten opponents over head-to-head record in the event of a threeway tie. Ohio State was 10-8 and Illinois was 9-9, while Minnesota was 6-12.

That technicality ends Argo’s college career, and he took to Twitter to voice his displeasure.

“What a joke! Ohio state gets swept to make B1G tourney, AND we beat BOTH teams in the tie with us. That is NOT RIGHT!” Argo said from his account @ WillieArgo42.

Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb said he will be bringing

up this rule when the Big Ten coaches review the rulebook this offseason.

“It’s something I think we need to talk about as a coaching group,” Hartleb said. “I was aware of all the tiebreakers, but when you’re actually put in that situation and there’s a chance that in a tiebreaker situation that the team that goes ahead of you is a team you beat head-to-head, that’s kind of tough for everybody to swallow.”

It’s only the second time in the last eight years that the Illini will miss out on postseason play.

The Illinois men’s tennis team was eliminated from the NCAA tournament on Friday, losing to No. 1 USC in the Sweet 16.

The Illini, ranked No. 16 nationally, managed just one doubles victory as they went down to the three-time defending champions 4-0. Stephen Hoh and Bruno Abdelnour recorded the team’s lone victory in 8-6 fashion over the Trojans’ duo of Emilio Gomez and Yannick Hanfmann to give Illinois a 1-0 lead in doubles.

It was all downhill from there for the Illini, however, as the Trojans won both remaining doubles matches before taking the first three singles matches to seal Illinois’ fate.

“I don’t feel like we came out uptight,” Illinois head coach Brad Dancer said in a press release. “We’re just coming out to play our game, and if they’re really too good for us then they’re too good for us ... There’s the intimidation factor they bring having won all the championships in a row. I think the more you focus on that, the worse you’re going to play.

And maybe that happened to a few guys today, but for the most part I think USC deserves all the credit there.”

For seniors Dennis Nevolo and Roy Kalmanovich, the competition served as their last performances as part of the Illinois tennis team. Both players will compete at individual competitions from May 23-28 in Athens, Ga., the same site as the team tournament.

Nevolo, ranked No. 7 overall, lost in singles to Steve Johnson, who holds the No. 1 ranking in collegiate tennis.

“I think Dennis came out with the right game plan, the right idea,” Dancer said. “It seemed like he got a little score-conscious in terms of how he played his points. He lost his aggressiveness. He lost his assertiveness.”

“It was a little frustrating,” Nevolo said in a press release. “I had a break in the first set and was holding on pretty strong. He was pretty tense, which was exactly what I wanted. He took advantage of my serve and may have won 12 points after that, which is absurd, and I can typically return anyone’s serve. Kudos to him, he was serving great.”

Strong showing at regionals by men’s golf secures bid to NCAAs

BY KYLE MILNAMOW SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTOR

The Illinois men’s golf team qualified for its fifth consecutive NCAA Regional on Saturday, finishing in a tie for third in the Norman Regional.

Along with No. 24 Florida St., the Illini finished with an overall total of 871 (+7).

Seeded seventh in the regional, the Illini were led by sophomore Thomas Pieters, who finished second overall individ-

ually in the tournament with a final score of 210 (-6). Ahead of Pieters was Washington’s Chris Williams, who eagled on the 18th hole to secure the victory.

“It was huge for Thomas to finish second in a strong regional field like this,” Illinois head coach Mike Small said in a press release. “It’s a shame that he couldn’t get the victory, but my hat’s off to Williams on making the eagle on that final hole. Thomas continues to get better, and the whole team has continued to get better, which is what makes

it fun for a coach.”

Two other players finished in the top 10 individually for the Illini. Senior Luke Guthrie tied for seventh with a final score of 217 (+1), and freshman Brian Campbell tied for 10th with a score of 218 (+2).

No. 13 Washington won the regional, beating No. 1 Texas. Oklahoma was the other team to receive a national bid, as the top-5 teams in the Norman Regional now move on to California for the finals, which starts May 29.

Artificial turf could be key to putting Big Ten baseball on national radar

BY ELIOT SILL ASSIGNMENT EDITOR

Across Kirby Avenue, just beyond the left field wall of Illinois Field, Mount Hope cemetery provides a peculiar backdrop for the Illini baseball team’s home games. The landscape could serve as a symbolic reminder to Illinois baseball players of an unfortunate truth: The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence — not when you play baseball in the Big Ten. While the Big Ten routinely peppers the top-25 polls of most major sports, its programs commonly fail to achieve such prestige in baseball. The current exception to this trend is Purdue, which is ranked No. 13 nationally. The climate in the Midwest presents a challenge to Big Ten teams. With the NCAA season beginning in February, when winter weather still lingers for northern schools, teams are limited in their options for preseason preparation as they wait for their home fields to thaw out and become playable.

Though conference play itself is very competitive, the last Big Ten school to make it to the eight-team College World Series was Michigan in 1984. Nebraska made it three times between 2001 and 2005 as a member of the Big 12. Illinois has never made it to a College World Series.

The winner of the Big Ten Tournament gets an automatic

bid to the NCAA tournament every season. Other than this automatic bid, however, Big Ten teams aren’t often awarded atlarge berths. This leaves the Big Ten with just one team representing the conference in a 64-team field year after year. With Purdue’s high national rank indicating an imminent at-large bid, the conference has a chance this season to field multiple entrants for the first time since 2009.

With warmer weather more conducive to year-round baseball activity, southern and western schools hold a distinct advantage over northern schools in building successful baseball programs.

Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb doesn’t use geography as an excuse. He believes it is a lack of recognition, not a lack of talent, that keeps Big Ten teams off the national stage.

“It’s just the fact that we don’t get the respect, at this point, where we’re getting multiple teams in (the NCAA tournament),” Hartleb said. “If we were getting, three, four teams in a year, you’d start getting teams in the Super Regionals on a regular basis. You’d see a team from the Big Ten in the world series. We just have to open some people’s eyes, continue to move forward and play well.”

In the month of February, while southern and western schools are rounding into form, Big Ten teams find them-

selves waiting for the snow to melt between cross-country road trips. Illinois played 22 away games this season before its home opener.

To stay competitive in lieu of the disadvantageous climate, northern schools have to get creative. Purdue head coach Doug Schreiber proposed the option to play as many as 14 nonconference games in the fall, when Big Ten teams could host games that would go toward RPI consideration. Minnesota head coach John Anderson had a bolder idea: defect from the NCAA and play the conference season in the summer months, when the weather is more conducive to baseball.

“When you go to LSU to play, or when you go to Florida to play, or you go to Cal-State Fullerton to play, they practice and play on the same field all year,” Anderson said. “They don’t practice indoors, they don’t practice someplace else — they practice and play on the same field they play on all year. To me, that’s a huge advantage and that’s what we can’t do in the north because of when the season’s played and how the setup is.”

Other Big Ten schools, like Illinois, are simply looking to improve the quality of their programs from the ground up.

Before the 2008 season, the University installed an artificial

Durant: The NBA’s most talented closer this postseason DEREK PIPER Staff writer

Kevin Durant doesn’t have the rings of Kobe Bryant or the 2011-12 NBA MVP trophy that belongs to LeBron James. But what he does have is a 3-1 series lead on Bryant’s Lakers and enough clutch genes to cause Michael Jordan to bite his tongue.

One day after missing a potential gametying 3-pointer at the end of Game Three, Durant didn’t hesitate to redeem himself, launching a dagger over Metta World Peace with less than 14 seconds left. Durant’s 11 fourth quarter points, including his coldblooded triple, fueled the 103-100 Thunder victory. It was Durant’s 10th game-tying or game-winning field goal in the last 24 seconds to play of the fourth quarter or overtime this season. Chris Paul and Derrick Rose rank second in the league with five apiece. Durant has made more than 43 percent of such attempts this season, while Bryant, whom many have regarded as Mr. Clutch of the league the past decade, is merely 3-for-18.

Bryant may have the jewelry, the courtside celebrities and the numbers to make him the best shooting guard in history not named Jordan, but his time as the best closer in the game is dead and gone. There is not a more feared player on the planet with the ball in his hands

than Durant. Chicago fans may come out of depression to argue for Rose. LeBron lovers will continue to hail their king, despite his lategame play occasionally being comparable to that of the Chicago Cubs’ bullpen. However, this argument is hushed with every one of Durant’s big-time shots that scorch the net.

Looking ahead, the Miami Heat could use some of Durant’s heroics to get past the pesky Indiana Pacers. Few gave the Pacers any shot in the series, but after the NBA playoffs injury bug bit Chris Bosh, the Heat seem to be in for a dogfight.

Give credit to the Pacers, though. After giving the Bulls everything it could handle in the first round last season, Indiana is back to dish out more headaches to the Eastern Conference elite. Center Roy Hibbert has been a big reason for the Pacers’ success. The emerging big man scored 19 points and grabbed 18 rebounds in the Game Three blowout. With the absence of Bosh, Hibbert’s presence in the paint has been even greater. The Heat better find a way to combat this; otherwise, they will find themselves on the couch next round.

A Thunder-Spurs matchup in the Western Conference Finals seems imminent at this point. Blown leads by the Clippers and a silenced low-post game of the Lakers has Los Angeles looking like a hockey town this summer.

Despite their youth, the Thunder appear to be the most talented team in the playoffs right now. The trio of Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden has been deadly —

The Spurs have not looked this good since their title run in 2006-07. Led by Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, in addition

to a loaded bench, San Antonio may have what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the Thunder. The Spurs are one of the best defensive teams in the league, which will be key in containing the most deadly scorer in game, Durant.

Illini pitchers share similiarites on and off the field

BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

During the third weekend of the baseball season Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb inserted freshman John Kravetz into the Saturday starter role.

Since that decision on March 10, the constant for the Illini pitching staff has been junior Kevin Johnson taking the ball on Friday and Kravetz taking the ball on Saturday.

A lot of the numbers between the two anchors of the Illinois pitching staff are nearly identical, with both pitchers starting 14 games apiece.

They are two of the most competitive pitchers on the team, battling each other all season for the team lead in wins with Kravetz narrowly edging Johnson in that category, eight to seven.

Neither is a high strikeout pitcher, 43 for Johnson and 45 for Kravetz, and both rely on their defense to get batters out.

Johnson finished with 88 1/3 innings and Kravetz with 87 2/3 innings.

Kravetz broke the Illinois record for wins by a freshman pitcher, a record that Johnson coincidentally shared.

Both pitchers keep their composure on the mound and rarely show any emotion, talking about controlling only what they can control. They both loved the pressure of the biggest games of the season and usually pitched their best. Johnson beating ranked teams like Oregon and earning a key Big Ten win against Nebraska while Kravetz shined against ranked St. John’s and his victory Friday against Minnesota gave Illinois a chance to reach the Big Ten Tournament.

Even their initials are the reverse of each other, K.J. and J.K. The relationship between the two aces started three years ago at Chicago’s Mount Carmel High School when the two were teammates for a year under Mount Carmel head baseball coach Brian Hurry.

“When I was a sophomore in high school and he was the big senior going to Illinois on a scholarship, and I don’t why, but he

kind of took me under his wing back then,” Kravetz said. “Ever since then the success he’s had has helped me get here too.”

“I’ve always seen John as a guy I kind of liked to work with,” Johnson said. “I kept a good relationship with his parents and he was always a guy that I kind of took under my wing to help show the ropes.”

Hurry had the chance to come to Illinois Field when the Illini played Indiana on April 7 and see Kravetz start. He sat with Johnson during the game and went to dinner with both pitchers and their families after.

“God blessed both these kids with a very strong lighting in their right arm,” Hurry said. “They were both mature enough to handle it on varsity as sophomores. Kevin, being older, he really served as a mentor to John as far as the training and the work ethic and showing John what it takes to work hard.”

Kravetz stayed with Johnson during his college visit to Illinois, and Kravetz said it felt comfortable knowing he’d have a friend in Champaign if he came to Illinois.

The Kravetz and Johnson families have become friends and the two pitchers hang out outside of baseball as well.

“I’d say we have a really good friendship going outside of baseball, and hopefully he still talks to me after I leave here but we’ll see,” Johnson said with a snicker as Kravetz drew close enough to hear the comment.

The biggest difference between the two pitchers comes off the field. Johnson seems to be more outgoing while Kravetz is more reserved.

“Both guys are extremely competitive, they hate to lose,” Hurry said. Off the field, socially, I think John is a little bit more quiet a little bit more reserved. Kevin’s a little bit more outgoing but they both share the same fire and passion to win.”

The two downplayed that the difference in personality means anything for their friendship.

“He’s kind of shy when you first meet him but he comes out his shell,” Johnson said. “He’s a real funny dude once you get to know him. He’s pretty witty, says some funny things.”

John Kravetz pitches the ball during the Illini’s 3-2 victory over Minnesota on Friday.

Even dating back to high school, Johnson became the leader of the staff as he became an upperclassman and he passed along that trait to Kravetz. Kravetz’s emergence as the pitching leader after Johnson is gone is something Hurry was sure of.

“I think the experience that John is gaining now, he’s going to be able to share that with future Illini as he’s done here,” Hurry said. “I’ve got a senior who John mentored that’s going to Harvard, and John had a tremendous influence on him from the baseball side.”

Johnson currently holds the record as the Illinois leader for innings pitched in Big Ten games with 153 2/3 innings, but it may just be a matter of time until Kravetz breaks that record as well. He’s already on pace to do so.

grass FieldTurf surface at Illinois Field to replace the sod and dirt. The installation of the FieldTurf cost $1.2 million, which was provided by private donors.

The goal is that the turf lessens the consequences of inclement weather. According to the University facilities website, the field can withstand seven inches of rain per hour.

“It’s playable in all types of weather, and we’re out there not just playing on it, but it’s also our practice facility,” said Dana Brenner, the associate athletic director who oversaw the installation of the FieldTurf. “Where we used to use practice days inside, if the weather’s decent, we can get out there much more earlier in the year.”

In addition to starting regular outdoor practice earlier, the maintenance for the new field is practically negligible.

“You try and get the field in its best condition, both infield and outfield, and it’s problematic for a baseball team in this region,” Brenner said. “I think the last year we had grass surface we spent about $90,000 just in maintaining and trying to have the best grass that we could for our baseball team.”

Not only was the maintenance a financial burden, but it was a time-consuming task as well. A lot of times, Hartleb said, it was the players who had to make sure that the infield tarp was deployed.

“You had to watch the forecast and if stuff would pop up, you’d have to scramble to try and get it on, get it off,” he said.

“You had to come over sometimes and empty the water because there was so much water on it. You had to be concerned about pinholes in the tarp because then all the water drained in one place, and you’d have water drain under the tarp and then it’d be just a mess.”

Hartleb called the change a “very positive transition.”

As the Big Ten fights to receive multiple tournament bids this season, the conference looks to improve its aesthetics and facilities going forward in an effort to retain recruits who may be thinking of heading south.

“There’s a lot of people that are putting a lot of money into stadiums,” Hartleb said. “There’s been some movement with

HOROSCOPES Today’s Birthday (05/21/12). The solar eclipse in Gemini highlights money and relationships, your two main focal points for this year. Expenses can rise along with income, so plan a year that includes educational adventure, fun partnerships and long-term financial growth. Then steep it in passion. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 5 -- A solar eclipse in Gemini benefits groups and organizations that you belong to, along with their hopes and visions. Ride the wave.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Be ready to be surprised. The solar eclipse provides cleansing and renewal.

Adapt to changes quickly. Don’t believe

everything you hear or think.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 7 -- You’re in a sunshine spotlight. You have newfound confidence and are growing stronger from the solar eclipse in your sign.

What difference will you make?

Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 5 -- For the next six months, you could see a steady benefit to your bottom line. Be resourceful and keep building for the future.

Respect others and your surroundings.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Stifle your crazy side for a moment when it comes to spending. Now is a great time for communication. Plan a sensible and impactful campaign. Put extra energy into listening.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Complete old projects so that you

can start new ones. Change is good. Don’t forget to acknowledge yourself for your accomplishments. Look before leaping.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Others are watching, so no crazy schemes, unless you are comfortable with that. Sometimes it’s good to look foolish.

Your wisdom is being tested. There will be an answer.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- You’re likely to be very busy for the next two days. It’s better to do the job right the first time than to rush and have to do it all over again. Listen to suggestions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Delegate projects you don’t love to someone more qualified. Focus on practical solutions, rather than card castles in the sky.

This is no time for excuses.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 7 -- Plant your seeds for future harvest.

Chop wood and carry water to take along with you. Avoid distractions. Consider sustainability. What will you create?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 5 -- Dream the impossible. There’s no better way to find out if your dreams could be real than by reaching for them. Conserve resources for the long term. Exploration calls.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 5 -- Rearrange furniture as long as it supports your commitments. Combine two or more old ideas into a new one. Proceed with caution. Your reputation gets a boost.
