‘Climate survey’ shows satisfaction University’s campus climate rated between “fair” and “good” in census

BY NATHANIEL LASH STAFF WRITER

African-American students are less impressed with the University’s diversity than white students; online students experience fewer threats to their physical safety; the longer you’re at the University, chances are the less excited you are to be here; and members of the University rate their campus climate somewhere between “fair” and “good.”

Those are just a few of the findings the University released on Friday as a result of its first-ever “climate survey,” an online census that was sent to 106,286 students, faculty and staff involved at one of the University’s three campuses and other satellite locations. A total of

17,167 — 16 percent — of those people chimed in, answering questions that ranged from “how excluding or including” faculty member’s department are, to how easy it is for students to get financial aid. But the central thesis of the survey, open from Oct. 26 to Dec. 2, focused on the University’s newly coined definition of climate: the “atmosphere of an organization as perceived by its members.”

“One very important thing is that the climate is overall positive.

Frankly, it’s a good thing to know,” Christophe Pierre, the University’s Vice President for Academic Affairs, said. “It’s not something I would have taken for granted.”

The composite analysis of

responses showed, among other things, that members of this particular organization rate their campus at 3.7 on a 1-to-5 scale, with three being the survey’s “midpoint.” The report released Friday also contains a swath of information specific to each campus, and the University of Illinois overall, slicing data by age, race, sexuality and other demographics.

According to Marilyn Marshall, Director of Academic Programs and Services, the price tag for this data is $152,300, That money went into contracting the Chicago campus’ Survey Research Laboratory, although Marshall said many others were involved in the designing and planning process.

A FAQ on the survey’s website said that “the data will be used to make recommendations on how the University can address the concerns raised by respondents and maintain

the strengths that respondents indicate the University has.”

“This is only the beginning,” Pierre said.

While the report released Friday takes into account a number of demographics, as well as comparisons between the campuses, it’s decidedly mum on analysis that goes directly into individual campus units, like schools, colleges and departments. Yet many of the questions were geared directly toward the departments of survey respondents, asking about inclusiveness and diversity of units.

Pierre said the University is reluctant to go deeper into smaller units, but does want to break the survey down to at least a collegespecific level.

“The numbers don’t tell it all. ...

We want to look at areas where a small number of employees think there’s a specific problem,” Pierre

said. “We’re not saying everything is rosy.”

Tim Johnson, director of the Survey Research Laboratory, said another barrier to releasing more specific information is the confidential nature of the survey. More specific information could point to a particular person matching certain demographics, he said.

Before they get into those more targeted data, however, Pierre said significant work is ahead in interpreting this round of analysis.

Some of those findings indicate that minorities, with the exception of Asians, have, on average, a poorer outlook of the University. And while African-American students, on average, rated the presence and respect for diversity on the campus significantly lower than their white classmates; they, along with Hispan-

New police chief: No plans for significant changes

BY STEVEN VAZQUEZ ASSISTANT ASSIGNMENT EDITOR

Pending the approval of the board of trustees, current interim chief of the University Police Department Jeff Christensen will officially be named the next police chief.

Christensen said he does not foresee any reason why the transition would not go smoothly and that he is honored to be named the next police chief at his alma mater.

“I feel really honored,” Christensen said. “I went to school here; I earned my master’s here. The department has done great things for me. I’ve been able to travel nationally and internationally about the things that we’ve done here, so it’s a great reward to earn the position.”

He said he does not plan to make any significant changes as the chief and that the department will keep moving forward.

He plans to fine-tune the department’s strategic planning and look for innovative ways to build relationships with students as well as others in the community.

Christensen was selected for the position after a nationwide search led by the Hollins Group, which is the firm that assisted in the search leading to Barbara O’Connor’s hiring in 2008.

The search turned out three finalists: Christensen and two candidates from outside of the University. Frank Wiley, chief of police at the University of Albany and Penny Fischer, police inspector at Michigan State were the other two finalists.

A committee headed by Renee Romano, vice chancellor of student affairs, chose to recommend Christensen for the job.

Robin Kaler, University spokeswoman, said a search firm is usually used when a high-level position is open to make sure there is a diverse pool of quality candidates.

“We want to make sure that we have not missed anyone across the nation, who we might want to recruit for the position,” Kaler said.

Kaler added that she believes Christensen’s experience at the University is very valuable and that, also, he has done a great job in all of the positions he has held. Christensen was hired as a patrol officer in 1985. He was promoted to lieutenant in 1990 and has been deputy chief and assistant director of the department since 2005. He served as the interim chief these past few months after O’Connor left in February and also during the 2008 search before she was hired. He was also one the campus’s first studentpatrol supervisors.

Chancellor and Vice President Phyllis M. Wise said in a press release that the University is fortunate to have Christensen become the permanent police chief, saying “he is familiar with the many issues that University Police must face and is well-versed in specific campus issues, procedures and protocol.”

She added that he brings a goal of making the campus police even better along with a host of developed connections with the campus and external stakeholders.

Christensen said he hopes to make this department one of the best university police departments in the nation. He said it will continue to build its relationship with the community as well as neighboring agencies so the department can be as effective as possible.

“I have a vision that we’ll be the best campus police department in the nation, and to get there we need to that on the pathway that our community wants,” he said.

The board of trustees will vote on the approval of Christensen at its next meeting in Chicago on July 18-19.

MTD bus lines will see changes in years to come

BY RYAN WEBER MANAGING EDITOR

The Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (CUMTD) held a public hearing Wednesday on the fourth floor of the Illinois Terminal. CUMTD officials listened to public comments on the budget and appropriations and the proposed route changes for the upcoming year.

CUMTD will be adding a Ruby Line, a route that will replace the demand-response service to northeast Urbana, north of I-74 to Airport Road. Under the current setup, riders must call CUMTD for van-service pickups, similar to the SafeRides service provided on campus.

Jan Kijowski, the marketing director for CUMTD, said the addition will make operations more efficient. Because van drivers must communicate with each other via cell phones, a regular bus service will also reduce the dangers that accompany cellphone use behind the wheel.

Proposed route changes that would affect campus include the removal of the Lavender Express Line, which runs through campus in the morning and the late afternoon only, and the addition of a bus to all services on the Yellow Line, agruably the most popular line students use to go off campus. The additional bus is meant to keep the timetables more accurate and on schedule; on this line, buses are supposed to arrive at each

stop every 10 minutes during the regular daytime operation.

“On the current schedule, there are 20 minute gaps, but with the extra bus, it will be 10 minute gaps,” said Drew Bargmann, planner for CUMTD. Previously, CUMTD had a handful of buses on standby — such as one parked on Wright Street next to the North Quad — throughout the service area that could be added to any line that was backed up or not making it to bus stops on time.

When and where to add the buses is “more of an art than a science,” Kijowski said.

For the upcoming year, Kijowski said, slight changes will be made to the schedule for the Yellow Line, but the frequency of stops would remain the same.

She also said that the additional bus would cost about $120 per hour: the average operating cost for CUMTD buses.

Other route changes include improvements on the Blue Line and a more efficient connection of the Lime and Green Lines at the Country Fair stop in Champaign.

Bill Volk, the managing director for CUMTD, said there will be permanent bus stops added to every route by fall 2013. The signs will be added systematically before the start of the University school year in 2013, rather than incrementally throughout the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013, Kijowski said.

Starting with campus, CUMTD has been adding permanent

stops to its routes, eventually creating them for the Green Line and the Teal Line on White Street, for example. Adding these stops throughout the rest of C-U has been talked about for a few years now, Volk said.

The permanent bus stops are meant to make it easier for first-time users to navigate the bus routes because designated stops will be everywhere. In the current setup, it’s difficult for the bus drivers to know where a rider wants to exit the bus after they pull the yellow cord.

These stops would all be marked with signs that designate the only places that riders may board and exit the buses.

“If we consolidate stops, we can invest in more amenities at the individual stops,” Volk said. These amenities include benches, shelters and electronic timetables.

Generally, the stops will most likely be at every other block, but Bargmann said CUMTD has been monitoring traffic and stop patterns and communicating with experienced drivers to devise the most efficient stops.

Volk said most communities outside of C-U have these kinds of stops. The permanent stops would also reduce stop time, which would help to increase fuel efficiency and reduce costs.

Because buses will be stopping less, drivers will be able to better maintain the timetable schedules, making MTD a more reliable service for its riders.

Migrant workers put strain on county’s food banks

BY RYAN WEBER MANAGING EDITOR

Food pantries across east-central Illinois are still observing the effects of the recent economic recession in the numbers they serve, but an influx of migrant workers that pour into the area during the summer create a new challenge.

Beginning in June and going throughout the summer until September, migrant workers and their families will make their trek from places like Texas and Florida to Champaign County to detassel corn and to begin roguing the fields, or removing weeds and other unwanted plants from corn and soybeans. The majority come at the end of June and beginning of July for detasseling and again in September for other harvest activities.

Andy Kulczycki, the executive director of the community service center of northern Champaign County in Rantoul, said he’s already started to see migrant workers and their families coming to the center for food.

At the height of the season, he estimates there will be 400 to 500 migrant workers in the area.

Most of these families, said Kulczycki, only utilize the pantry one time, when they arrive because once they make it to Rantoul, they can begin making money and supporting themselves.

Often, these workers will come to the fields with little-to-no food because they will have spent nearly everything they have before they arrive, leaving them with no way to purchase groceries. They seek out services from pantries to supplement this need.

The Eastern Illinois Foodbank (EIF) sees a seven-percent increase of people served over the summer throughout its 14-county region, which includes Champaign County, but not due entirely to migrant workers, said Cheryl Precious, the director of marketing and development at EIF. Donna Camp, the director of the Wesley Evening Food Pantry, said the pantry serves more people during the summer. She observed that the increase may be due to the increase in

migrant workers and in other needs throughout the community.

One of the challenges that Kulczycki noted with the influx is that the migrant workers and their families all come at once, causing the community center and its small staff and volunteers to be slightly overwhelmed, logistically.

There is also the issue that so few of them speak Spanish. While the community center does have a bilingual staff member, Kulczycki said distribution of groceries can still be difficult. Rantoul’s center is not the only place faced with these challenges.

On campus, the Wesley Evening Food Pantry actively recruits Spanish-speaking volunteers to help with distribution, but still they often don’t have enough volunteers who are fluent enough to communicate with their foreign-language clients.

Because of the language barrier, it’s a challenge to convey to clients that they can fill up the amount of grocery bags they are given.

Many times, clients will be given three bags and will make it to the end of the distribution line, filling only one bag.

Veterans seek information on college benefits Rankings of veteran-friendly schools would make veterans’ transition to UI much easier

BY MAGGIE O’CONNOR STAFF WRITER

Paul Szoldra, senior in entrepreneurship at the University of Tampa and former marine, was still stationed in Japan when he first began his college search by exploring his Government Issue (GI) benefits online. That was when he saw many for-profit institutions advertising veteran benefits. The information was confusing, especially after an eight-year absence from the education system.

“I was in Japan when I was in the process of getting out (of the marines),” he said. “I had all these sites that I wasn’t sure about, and lots of them only give you online options.”

That is why, in December 2011, Szoldra launched his own company, CollegeVeteran. com. And about a month ago, he started an online petition for the U.S. News & World Report to create a ranking for “veteranfriendly schools” in conjunction with their more than 30 different educational ranking systems.

He wants to centralize information about veteran educational benefits to help students transition from “rucksack to backpack” and choose the school that best fits

their financial and academic needs. More importantly, he hopes to make sure students are aware of and take the proper steps to collect the benefits they have earned through their military service.

Dr. Nicholas Osborne, Veteran Student Services Coordinator at the University and a veteran himself, said recent legislation provides some of the most comprehensive educational benefits in history. The Post9/11 GI Bill, also called Chapter 33, covers tuition and fees.

It also includes books, housing and allowance, which Osborne estimates is about $1,200 per month for a full-time student at the University.

When the bill became effective in August 2009, Governor Pat Quinn signed the Illinois Higher Education Veterans Service Act, which requires schools with more than 1,000 students to have a coordinator to work at least part-time with veterans.

“The benefits can be really confusing, you know, the certifying process can be an absolute nightmare sometimes,” Osborne said.

In order to alleviate some of that confusion for the departing service member, he added, the veterans service office acts

as a bridge between military life and the publicity surrounding the subject prevents them from collecting — something Osborne University.

Opinions

Prescription drugs shouldn’t be used to help with studying TOLU TAIWO Opinions columnist

I

’ve decided I’m going to graduate school, which means I’m taking the GRE, which means I’m freaking the freak out.

Tests and I have never gotten along. I need five days, a lot of flash cards and coffee to pass anything in college. Yes, I got a good enough ACT to get into the University, but I’m pretty sure it’s also because I wished on many 11:11’s. And one can’t forget the time I took the SAT three times.

With a track record like mine, it’s no wonder that I fantasize about just calling it quits and being a ranch hand in Montana.

Obviously, I’m not the only one panicking. There are so many of us who are preparing for the GRE, the LSAT, the MCAT or the GMAT — the alphabet testing soup of horrors goes on. There are even more high school seniors who are busting their cojones studying for the SAT and ACT. It’s enough to make someone desperate.

Desperate enough to take amphetamines and methylphenidates to get through it all.

High school students, freshmen through seniors, are taking pills such as Adderall or Ritalin to get better grades and test scores. The pills, when taken by someone without ADHD, give a rush of energy. The pills are also labeled “Class 2 controlled substances,” the same class as cocaine and morphine, because of their addictive nature.

My heart goes out to these high school kids (and a big piece of my heart hoped my 17-year-old brother was just getting by on long-hour library sessions and frantic physics notes). Yes, getting good grades is important.

In fact, sometimes it’s the most important thing in the world. We spent a good chunk of our adolescent years kicking butt so we may end up in a respectable college.

Still, it’s terrible that kids would get to the point where they feel they do better with the amps and the methyls in their system.

The number of users has undoubtedly gone up. Since 2007, the number of prescriptions for ADHD medications for 19 year olds has increased by 26 percent.

There is a justified right to be concerned.

But the thing that really caught my attention, however, was that these pills are used in college and graduate school circles. It turns out that we’re making the same mistake as our younger counterparts.

And as the older, wiser and more influential generation, we need to stop. Just. Stop.

First of all, this is wholly unfair to kids who are able to win without Adderall. I know many people who do phenomenally on their own. But at least one of them has to just survive on long studying, a healthy amount of caffeine, and a package of stress balls.

Secondly, what about the kids who genuinely need Adderall for ADHD? A couple of my friends with ADHD have expressed how it’s almost an insult to them — they legitimately take it to calm down, and their peers are snorting the stuff to get into a top tier law school.

But the most important piece is it’s not worth it. We do a lot of crazy things for education: We have study parties, we pull allnighters, we drink too many ventis, we break down and cry to our moms, dads, whoever will listen.

But at the end of the day, if it affects our health in any negative way, we shouldn’t do it. Yes, I want to do well and get into a good grad school. But not at the sake of harming myself.

We need to realize that in order to succeed, we really, really don’t need to pop in an Adderall or snort down a Ritalin. And we need to realize that, for the high schoolers who feel like they can’t do it without a “little somethin’,” the ones who could. We need to be role models.

University should opt for discussion over surveys S

tudents and faculty received the results Friday of the Climate Survey administered by the University, which asked respondents a series of questions about their thoughts on the overall atmosphere of the University, and the numbers gathered by it were certainly unimpressive. The survey was meant to serve simply as a starting point to gauge perceptions of the University at all campuses.

Across nearly every category, the results showed only a slightly positive rating (just above three on a scale of one to five). Even then, this isn’t very telling because only 10.5 percent of the original frame of 106,286 staff, students and faculty completed the survey. Moreover, the design of the survey is not representative of the University such that the survey’s participants were self-selected instead of being chosen randomly.

This, of course, is a statistical innaccuracy.

Perhaps a focus group could help secure respondents.

Yes, the University’s administration is taking an initiative to ask students questions about subjects they may be far-removed to answer accurately themselves, but it has accomplished almost nothing.

Even if the information was something useful, the way it was disseminated was in-

effective: If so few students, faculty and staff completed the survey, the likelihood they would read the results is the same. The masses are not reading the massmails.

The University is looking to improve its campuses, but a survey that asks if students like their respective campus doesn’t give much clue on how to fix any problems. Without a doubt, improvements are needed. Just on this campus, several buildings look as if they haven’t been renovated or repaired in decades, housing isn’t the most ideal and more diversity could be promoted.

People are not interested in a survey or its nearly inconclusive result. They would prefer a discussion. When students know what’s going on around them, they will care, and the University will find the real responses they want.

MLB teams select four Illini in draft

BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

Matt Milroy, Willie Argo, Kevin Johnson and Jordan Parr all had their names called in the 40-round marathon that is the MLB First-Year Player Draft that began last Monday and ended Wednesday.

The four members of the Illinois baseball team are in very different situations. Two have signed their major league contracts and are off to the minor leagues, one player has to still prove himself to even get an offer and the youngest of the bunch still has plenty of options open.

The action for the Illini started Tuesday when the Miami Marlins selected Milroy in the 11th round. Milroy’s velocity is consistently in the 90-mph range and, coupled with his devastating slider, made him one of the top prospects in the state of Illinois. His 3.88 ERA was second best on the Illini and he struck out a team-best 65 hitters, with a strikeout-per-nine-inning ratio that ranked ninth in the nation (10.98).

Milroy became the highest Illinois pitcher drafted since Matt Vorwald went in the seventh round in 2001, and the Marlins’ offer proved to be too much for him to turn down as he has already signed his contract to play with the team for approximately $100,000 dollars.

“It’s something that I’ve been working toward for three years at Illinois,” Milroy said. “I want to thank all my coaches and everybody who helped me along the way.”

Willie Argo, the Illini’s biggest senior leader, was drafted for a third time and the highest he’s ever gone, this time by the Tampa Rays in the 22nd round. Argo, a 2012 first-

Men’s, women’s relay teams face heartbreak in midst of success streak Riley, Spencer win NCAA titles in multitude of events to end season

BY KYLE MILNAMOW SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTOR

It was a week of ups and downs in Des Moines for the Illinois men’s and women’s track teams. Records and hearts alike were broken as the track teams competed in nationals.

On the men’s side, Andrew Riley stole headlines for the last time in his collegiate career. Running in the 100-meter dash, Riley came away with the gold, running a 10.28.

The win prompted some news media outlets to describe it as an upset.

Head coach Mike Turk disagreed, saying that in the 100m dash, Riley was “the best runner in the NCAA.” Going into the 110m hurdles, an event Riley said before Nationals is his best, he had a chance to be the first person to win both the 100m and 110m hurdles in the same year.

With a final time of 13.53, Riley won the hurdles Saturday,

which earned a spot not only in the record books, but also in SportsCenter’s Top 10 plays.

Ashley Spencer was a star for the Illini this week as well.

Spencer had aspirations of winning the gold, but if she couldn’t win, then she wanted to at least get a time of 50 seconds or under. She ended up meeting both goals.

“It’s always good when you accomplish goals, but when you accomplish all your goals in one sitting, it makes it that much better,” Spencer said. “And I knew I would have to run — looking at the girls who qualified and how fast they ran in the past — I knew I would have to run 50-point to win.”

The win made her the first Big Ten runner to win the 400m dash on the women’s side of things.

The NCAAs also brought its share of downs for the Illini, though.

Both relay teams headed to Des Moines with high aspirations. The women’s 4x400 team just came off breaking a school record and had thoughts of actually beating that new record on the biggest stage of the year.

After qualifying for the semifinals, the women went into the finals, as head coach Tonja Buford-Bailey said,

“pumped.”

That is when things started to go a little downhill.

As the Illini were boarding the bus for the hotel after competing Thursday, someone read on Twitter that the relay team had been disqualified due to a lane violation and Florida would advance in their place, said Jesica Ejesleme. It was reported that senior Ashley Kelly had stepped on the line during her portion of the race. “(Kelly) didn’t want to believe that it was true, and I didn’t want it to be true,” Spencer said. “I wanted all of my seniors to be All-Americans and re-break the school record even more than what we’ve done. I really felt sorry for my seniors because I knew we have all worked so hard to get to this point. And I believe the last time a 4x400 went to the NCAA finals was 1994, and that’s history that got snatched away from us.”

After finding out about the disqualification, Buford-Bailey had asked to see the tape but was not allowed.

“That was the biggest bummer of the entire weekend,” she said. “We had three seniors on that team, and those

Heat, Thunder give fans what they wanted Looking ahead to the battle of trios DEREK PIPER Sports columnist

T

he NBA got what it was looking for when the Miami Heat took down the Boston Celtics in Game Seven, which delivered a 9.1 television rating: the highest ever for an NBA game on cable, according to the Nielsen ratings.

The league can now expect even higher ratings in what will be a highly anticipated NBA Finals.

While basketball is indeed a team sport, history has shown that fans care most when the stage is filled with the biggest and brightest of stars. A series that includes the last five regular season scoring champions should attract attention.

In fact, with the Heat and Thunder each sporting their own “Big Three,” this year’s finals may be the most starstudded since Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls were hoisting trophies. However, not since the classic battles of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird has the finals matched up the two best players in the game.

Like him or hate him, LeBron James returns to the finals for his third shot at a ring. Despite a laundry list of haters, James was unstoppable against the Celtics, producing the best playoff series of his career.

James averaged more than 33 points and 11 rebounds per game in the Eastern Conference Finals, while also shooting higher than 52 percent from the field. Say what you want about his clutch genes, hairline or The Decision, but only Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar produced those numbers in a seven-game series in NBA history.

ESPN analyst Skip Bayless has made a living hating on James ever since he stepped foot in the league. Designat-

ing Dwyane Wade as “Batman” and James as “Robin,” Bayless needs to quickly change his words if he wants to save face.

James has been “Batman” during these playoffs and everyone else “Batboy.” How else can you explain James’ 45-point performance to prevent elimination in Game Six? However, even James knows that no prior performances will hold any weight if the Heat fail once again to raise the trophy.

But he is not the only star in this series who has never hoisted one themselves, mainly because of their youth.

The Heat currently have the most famous “Big Three,” but all of that may change if Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden can bring a title home to Oklahoma City. The Thunder’s trio may not have the hype, payroll or league experience of the South Beach version, but they certainly pack a similar punch — if not a better one.

Durant, the league’s best scorer three years running, averaged 29.5 points per game in the Western Conference Finals, taking down the red-hot Spurs, who had won 20 games in a row after Game Two. Harden contributed 18.5 points per game, including the dagger in Game Six with 28 seconds to play. Westbrook, who received a great deal of criticism for last year’s playoff elimination, added more than 18 points and seven assists per game in the series.

While this combo is young (average age of 23 between the three), defeating the Western Conference elite in the Mavericks, Lakers and Spurs has shown us one thing: They are young, but they are definitely not scared.

This series will truly be the best NBA Finals of the last decade, which can only make NBA Commissioner David Stern sit back and smile. It will be a battle of good versus evil.

Who will get their first ring: the league MVP or the scoring champ?

Only a fool would not tune in to find out.

Illinois’ Paul Ruggeri competes on the high bar during a meet at the Huff Hall on Saturday, Jan. 28.

Ruggeri and two other Illini earned invitations to the U.S. National team over the weekend.

Illini still going for gold

BY EMILY BAYCI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

In a less-than-perfect competition, three current and former Illinois gymnasts kept their Olympic dreams intact at the 2012 Visa Championships from ThursdaySaturday in St. Louis.

Recent graduate Paul Ruggeri, sophomore C.J. Maestas and volunteer assistant coach David Sender were named to the U.S. Senior National team and earned invitations to the Olympic Trials in San Jose, Calif., from June 28-July 1. Senior Yoshi Mori also competed, but did not receive a trials bid.

“The first day was just a little shaky for everyone,” Ruggeri said.

“Luckily, we were able to recover from it.”

Ruggeri and Sender received spots based on a points system developed by USA gymnastics officials, while Maestas was chosen by the selection committee.

National team slots are no strange occurrence for these athletes. It’s Sender’s 13th appearance on the national team, Ruggeri’s sixth and Maestas’ fourth.

This time means more, as the real

challenge is to make the top five at trials and earn a coveted spot on Team USA. “It’s always a blessing to know that I’m one of these top guys,” Maestas said.

The Visa Championships are the first half of competition for an Olympic spot — the trials the second half. After two days of competition, Ruggeri was seventh in the all-around, Sender was 11th, Maestas finished 12th and Mori 24th.

In individual events, Ruggeri placed second on the floor and fourth on high bar, his top event, in which he had struggled at the Big Ten and NCAA Championships.

“It felt good to finally feel comfortable with that again,” Ruggeri said. “That is what I need to do if I want to succeed.”

Sender’s top finish was fifth on the vault. He won the Visa Championships during his last attempt for the Olympic team in 2008, when he suffered an ankle injury after and did not compete in trials.

“Our guys really need to work on the individual events that are their strengths,” Illinois head coach Justin Spring said. “That is how they are going to stick out.”

The gymnasts’ start values won’t change now and they will spend the three-week gap perfecting their execution values, Ruggeri said.

The top two all-around gymnasts will be named to the Olympic Team immediately following trials. They must also finish in the top three in at least two individual events. The selection committee will determine the remaining three gymnasts and up to three alternates.

This Olympic team has the potential to be on of the best US squads since 1984, when USA took the gold. In the second day Visa’s the top four all-around finishers, John Orozco, Danell Leyva, Sam Mikulak and Jonathan Horton, all scored above 90 points.

There were six spots on the team last time around, when Spring was on the bronze-medalwinning squad.

“It’s absolutely crazy when you look at the depth of this group,” Spring said. “That’s extremely exciting for our country, but means that our guys really have to step up and show what they can do.”

team All-Big Ten player, had previously been selected in the 49th and 43rd rounds, opting to stay on his path at Illinois.

Argo almost didn’t end up with the Rays after he forgot to fi ll out the team’s questionnaire. Brett Foley, the Ray’s Naperville-based scout supervisor, called him and reminded him to fi ll it out.

“It’s a great feeling to be drafted as a senior,” Argo said. “It’s kind of your last chance, but I’m really excited to be joining the Rays organization. I’ve heard nothing but great things.”

Argo was sweating at the thought of when he would be drafted, if at all, so much so that he didn’t even watch the draft — a complete 180 from last year when he said he was glued to the computer screen for hours waiting for his name to be called. He was in another room watching TV when his youngest brother and mother yelled in excitement of hearing he’d been drafted.

Parr had nearly given up hope that his name would be called as the rounds continued to roll on and was taking a shower when his name was called. The Dodgers selected him in the 26th round and he said the two sides are still negotiating contract terms.

Parr, who has become somewhat of a journeyman, attending three different schools in the past three years, is split down the middle on the decision to stay or go. However, he expected his brother Justin to be struggling with the same decision.

“Today was a difficult day to watch,” he said. “You know Justin has been getting told

For the men, in order to crack the top ten nationally, a win in the relay would be huge. They were also haunted by a critical mishap.

In the 4x100 relay, a sloppy handoff cost the team in the fi nals.

Johnson, Illinois’ most consistent pitcher all season long, including taking the ball in the Friday game of every Big Ten series, is dealing with the disappointment of not being taken as high as he was projected. Johnson was selected in the 31st round by the New York Yankees and will have to pitch his way into a contract this summer, adding a lot of pressure for the would-be senior.

The Yankees informed Johnson that he is a draft-and-follow pick, so the Yankees will pay attention to Johnson’s performance in the summer league before trying to sign him to a contract. The deadline is July 13, which only leaves about a month for him to impress the team. Johnson was selected lower than he’d hoped and than his projections indicated, but originally gave himself a cutoff that if he wasn’t drafted in the fi rst 15 rounds he’d go back to school. Now faced with a chance at the big leagues, Johnson says he isn’t so sure he can just turn down an offer if he gets one.

“I was kind of getting discouraged watching the whole draft process because I honestly thought I was going to go in the top 15 rounds,” Johnson said. “To say I wasn’t disappointed, I defi nitely was.

“But knowing that I get this opportunity now, it adds pressure, but to me, I’m just so excited that I get this opportunity (where) there is no pressure. I’m just going to go out there, do what I always do and I’m just going to do my best and whatever happens, happens.”

GI BILL FROM PAGE 7 Gathering information about the online programs, he said, would give them a better idea of the feasibility of a veteran-friendly ranking.

“We’re not like the federal government in that not everyone is legally mandated to respond — it’s a voluntary survey,” he explained. “So until you know what kind of data is collectable, we can’t say whether or not we could do it.”

The type of data Szoldra would like to see featured in such rankings includes each colleges’ veteran graduation and employment rates, the size of the student veteran population, incoming credit given for military experience and whether it has a veteran center or is a Yellow Ribbon School.

The University is a Yellow Ribbon School, meaning it has an agreement with the state of Illinois to partially or fully fund any tuition or fees that are above the amount covered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill. According to Szoldra, the bill has met several of the other standards that veterans consider important.

Kennedy, however, says that he would only choose a school based on its veteran benefits if he was having difficulty deciding between two similar universities. Overall, he said, veterans are not selecting a college solely based on its ability to provide veteran services.

They want a quality education, which is why Osborne emphasizes that it is important for the University to maintain its high standards of education while still recognizing the veteran’s merit.

“We never want to cheapen our standards because that’s something we’re proud of,” he said.

“But I also feel that if a 23-yearold female comes here with four years of military experience, and she’s been deployed to Afghanistan twice ... this person has been through a lot; she has a lot to share.”

He said that when it comes to providing credits for military service, the University is rather conservative compared to some online for-profit institutions that offer more substantial credit for military experience.

According to Osborne, student veterans need to be careful to avoid online programs that are just looking to recruit veterans in order to collect tax-funded military benefits.

Though a student veteran may not enter the University with as many credits, Osborne said, the fact that they are required to take more courses not only helps maintain the prestige of a degree from the University, but also ensures that student veterans leave the University compe-

12 # tent and ready to re-enter the civilian workforce.

Osborne agrees that ideas like Szoldra’s will help to improve the current system and make that transition into college life easier for veterans, whose military service interrupted their education.

Student programs such as Illini Veterans and committees like the veterans committee — comprised of student veterans, the director of financial aid, Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) administrators, a veteran faculty member, a member from Parkland Community College, and a member from the counseling center — allow consistent re-evaluation and improvement of veteran programming.

Due to the increased number of veterans and the growing value of higher education in the job market, Osborne anticipates that updating veteran programs will become even more critical as veterans return from Afghanistan.

Whether it is through the implementation of more centralized information to increase efficiency or the bolstering of veteran organizations to more fully meet student needs, the University will need to continue to share ideas with other universities to continue to competitively and transparently recruit veterans returning to school, Osborne said.

Attracting student veterans, he explained, is important because the student veteran population at the University is about 400 students, or less than one percent of the student body, compared to 60 percent in 1946.

For the average civilian University student, this means that most of what he or she knows about veteran students comes from the media and television shows.

“What that does is there’s a lot of mystique around the military ... because a lot of that stuff can revolve around PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), or ‘Veteran who’s suicidal kills wife.’ I don’t want to undermine or minimize that, but that’s not the whole story,” he said. “By having more veterans on campus ... we’re telling a different story.”

Kennedy agreed that the lack of understanding between the civilian student body and veterans makes it difficult for veterans to feel a sense of community after they are separated from their military unit.

It is important to recognize and integrate them more fully into campus and academic life, he said.

“I think that they bring a great diversity to the environment. I think that they can help humanize and add great firsthand experience to course content,” Osborne said. “With a thriving veterans population on campus, I see a lot of benefit going to all of our students, faculty and staff.”

CLIMATE

A view of Venus transit

FROM PAGE 3 ic students, apparently rate their balance of workload and life much better.

Another interesting point was the higher ratings given by students who take their classes online. They rated the overall climate of the University highest — 4.0 on the 1-to-5 scale — a theme that was replicated through a number of criteria the survey measured. “(Online students) seem to be more content, have more interactions with professors, be more in control of their environment that’s familiar to them, than students on campus,” Pierre said.

About 13 percent of the Urbana campus’ students participated in the survey. With his laboratory taking into account non-response biases and measurement errors, Johnson said despite the low turnout for the survey, which went as low as 7.6 percent among students at the Chicago campus, the results are still statistically and realistically significant.

“It’s a low response rate, but quite frankly, not very much different from other web surveys,” he said.

Still, the way the survey was conducted may indicate the other motivations for the University’s first survey of every student and employee.

“There had been a lot of discussion about doing a random sample that we would follow up with intensely,” Johnson said, citing a method that would have resulted in a higher response rate, and possibly more accurate data. “This is more of a census. The president thought that was very important, where everyone would have the opportunity to have their say.”

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 7 -- The pressure you’ve been under is easing. Take some time for yourself. Funny how hot water and fragrant soap can shift the perspective entirely.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 5 -- Distractions abound. The trick is to

refocus quickly, as there’s plenty of action.

Resist impetuous spending, especially gambling. Take it easy to avoid accidents.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Your career gets a boost. Born 99 years ago today, Vince Lombardi once said, “If you can’t accept losing, you can’t win.” Do the best with what you have.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 4 -- It’s a difficult time to be on the road but could be worth the trouble. Be prepared to defend your position courteously. Revisit an old, forgotten passion.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Don’t get stuck in your ways and find new strength. Think twice before you speak or commit. It’s okay to be thrifty. Postpone a large expense for a few more days.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is

a 6 -- Discover you’re worth more than you thought ... financial planning reveals valuable insight. Friends seek your wisdom.

Check out an interesting suggestion.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- You’re beginning a period of expansion and growth. Surround yourself with people who see eye to eye with you. Grow your efforts behind the scenes.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 5 -- You’re inclined to react automatically.

Think twice before you say something you later regret. Stay in communication. Just read emails over before sending.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 5 -- Your loved ones encourage you to take on a challenge. Children help you discover something new about yourself. For the next two days, creativity and romance

flower.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 5 -- Focus on fine-tuning your place. A partner helps you. Get advice from a professional. Epic dreams could inspire travel.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 6 -- Don’t sweat the small stuff today.

Give yourself some time to think things over before making a decision. Read the fine print twice. Take it slowly.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 6 -- Avoid travel to save expense and hassle. Get agreements in writing to save painful misunderstandings. A new assignment brings in the dough. Be thrifty.
