Student trustee ballot to reopen BY GILLIAN DUNLOP ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
After a monthlong investigation into the 2017 Student Trustee Election, a repeat election will be held from April 26 to 27. The investigation sparked after Trayshawn Mitchell, junior in LAS, claimed that the Campus Student Election Commission unfairly kept him off the ballot. Mitchell and the other candidates were required to submit documentation to confirm that they were students at the Uni-

Power plant upgrading old stack BY KAREN LIU STAFF WRITER
After 77 years of operation, the south energy stack at Abbott Power Plant is scheduled to be taken down and replaced with low emission natural gas boilers. The project is a part of the Utilities Production and Distribution Master Plan. Mike Larson, director of utilities production at facilities and services, said the total project budget is $22.5 million, which includes design, equipment, construction and contingency money for unforeseen circumstances. Larson said that the five-year plan includes understanding the current energy demand and predicted growth of the campus, so that the power plant can provide utility needed to meet the needs of the University. “We had boilers in place that were actually past the end of their useful lives,” Larson said. “One of (the power plant’s) main deliverables for the campus is reliable steam and electricity.” Larson said the process of taking down the old smoke stack started about a week ago, and the removal of the external material will be completed by the end of April. The new boilers are expected to be operational by December. He said that the electricity and heat-

Originally expected to begin operating in March, the opening of the Chicago-based pizza chain Slice Factory delayed opening once again due to construction. Domenic DiDiana, founder and president of Slice Factory, cited mechanical operations as the main reason for the delay. This location has been in the works since at least 2009. DiDiana said he had always wanted the restaurant to be on Green Street within a block or two of campus. “Champaign fits our demographic,” DiDiana said. “Students

University job positions may be empty starting this fall as the United States government has issued a temporary suspension of expedited application processing for H-1B visas, which allow skilled foreigners to work for companies and institutions within the country. This expedited processing, referred to as “premium processing,” allowed U.S. businesses and institutions such as the University to quicken the application processing time of an H-1B visa by paying an additional $1,225. The University reported that premium processing was used for 80 percent of the H-1B applica-

During Earth Week, the University’s oldest environmental student group, Students for Environmental Concerns, will host events encouraging students to make more sustainable choices. Earth week runs through Saturday “By having small events that are environmentally focused, we hope that students will start to implement sustainable actions into their daily lives,” said Catherine Yee, member of Students for Environmental Concerns and Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment campus sustainability intern. This year, the group organized events and lectures to promote sustainable living. Though most Earth Week events take place every year, Students for Environmental Concerns added new events to the lineup. DuringFossil Free UIUC, Students for Environmental Concerns will present a water/oil separation demo and a showing of Leonardo DiCaprio’s environmental documentary, “Before the Flood.” Students for Environmental Concerns collaborated with the University’s environmental magazine, “The Green Observer,” Alpha Phi Omega service frater-

Talk illuminates undocumented struggle BY KAREN LIU STAFF WRITER
The Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations hosted a discussion on Friday that addressed issues that undocumented students at the University face, ranging from recent chalkings on the Main Quad to financial situations. Diversity & Social Justice Education, a branch of the Office of Inclusion at the Women’s Resource Center, led the talk which was part of the Lunch on Us noontime discussion series. “I feel like a lot of students don’t understand undocumented students and how they experience college,” said Daven Douglas, sophomore in LAS. Ross Wantland, assistant director of the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations, said that in order to provide better help for undocumented students, it’s important to understand the issues they face. Dr. Gioconda Guerra Perez, director of La Casa Cultural Latina, gave the audience a presentation that included the defi nition of undocumented students and their experiences on campus. Perez said she hopes to educate the students and provide them with accurate information regarding the issue. “I think it’s very important for our students and faculty who are learning about, or are curious about (undocumented students), to get as

The second piece we focus on is environmental compliance, and then the reliability, and lastly, cost effectiveness,” Larson said. “The plan is nobody will notice anything different.” While the University has multiple sources for electricity, Abbott Power Plant is the only provider of steam for heating, Larson said. “If Abbott stops running — if the equipment stops running — we don’t have the means to supply steam for campus,” he said. Larson said one of the biggest benefits of the new boilers is that they generate higher-pressure steam, allowing the turbines to operate more efficiently. Michael Brewer, mechanical engineer at Abbott Power Plant, said the new boilers will also be more environmentally friendly, so the new stacks do not need to be as tall as the old ones.

A lthough M itchel l informed the Commission of his technical difficulties, he said they were not communicative with him and as a result, did not put him on the ballot. Mitchell’s complaint against the Commission led Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Renee Romano to investigate what had transpired during the election. “Typically there are complaints that CSEC reviews: if one candidate complains that another candidate violated election rules,” Romano said. “The reason why I heard this one is because this one was against the CSEC itself.” Romano talked to all three candidates one-on-one as a way to understand what happened. “I wanted to understand their perspective, their experience with the technology,” she said. “I (also) talked to the chair of the student election commission. I talked to the advisers. Then I looked through all of the documentation, the information sent to each candidate and what the communications were.” The other candidates had no knowledge of what was transpiring between Mitchell and the Commission until
much information as possible,” she said. “(That way they) can help them whenever they talk to a student (who) may (be going) through a difficult situation because of their immigration status.” Perez said she aims to share the works of La Casa on campus and highlight the resources they offer to students in need. However, Perez said there is no way to determine the number of students on campus who are undocumented since the University does not keep track of them. She also addressed the discrimination that undocumented students face on campus. Perez said she is very vocal about the discriminative chalking on the Main Quad because it is something that should not happen. “When you write a message that says ‘Stop supporting, start deporting,’ you are directly messaging a group of students who are part of our community,” she said. “That particular type of narrative is in detriment of a group of people that live in the residence halls, who walk around the Quad, who attend classes, who are our students. So attacking them directly, to me, is very hurtful.” Perez said it is a wellknown fact that there are undocumented students on campus. “We are an institution (in) which we celebrate diversity, we celebrate that we are inclusive and we celebrate

While the old smoke stack was originally over 200 feet tall, the top was shaved off, leaving it to stand at 197 feet. The new stacks are designed to be 119 feet tall and will be made out of steel instead of concrete to be more cost-efficient. “The exhaust (from our new gas boilers) has small amounts of other materials besides water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen (and) a little bit of sulfur dioxide or trioxide, in levels that are well below anything that will be irritating,” Brewer said. He said that the power plant is not only making changes to the structure, but they are also trying to develop staff leadership, improve overall quality of operation and become more accessible to students by offering tours of the facilities. “We try and look 15, 20 years in the future and plan for what we need to do to stay current, so we can stay reliable, environmentally friendly and be cost competitive,” said Russell Reynolds, chief utility plant

There’s such a yearning for that on campus, but there’s not a fostering from the University.” Justison’s platform is to transform, unify and ignite. He plans to do that by tackling a number of issues including student tuition. “I want to be able to dictate where that money is going and how that’s adding value to students. Education shouldn’t be exclusive to the people that can afford it,” he said. All three candidates said they see the position as a way to help students. “I see myself in the position as a medium for student concerns,” Justison said. “Students should have the opportunity to get a quality education.”

VISAS tional Student and Scholar Services. With premium processing off the table, H-1B applications not submitted by April 3 — the suspension’s starting date — will have to wait seven to eight months through standard processing before the application can be approved. International faculty members who were expected to start in August or before will not be able to work at the University until November at the earliest, if their H-1B applications were not sent to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services by the suspension’s starting date. Employers are required to submit a Labor Condition Application from the Department of Labor along with their H-1B application, which is used to prevent employers from exploiting outsourced employees. Labor Condition Applications; however, cannot be issued until six months prior to an employee’s expected job start date, thus giving a maximum six-month window between when the University can actually fi le an H-1B application and when a job candidate is anticipated to start working. Due to this intrinsic time constraint, the Office of the Provost says that it is “almost impossible” to have an H-1B employee start on time without expedited processing. “It’s not business as usual, unfortunately,” said Director of International Student and Scholar Services Martin McFarlane. Prior to the suspension of premium processing, McFarlane said, International Student and Scholar Services tried to process “an awful lot” of H-1B applications to secure as many prospective international faculty members as possi-

ble before the deadline. Since then, he and members of both the University’s legal counsel and the Provost’s Office have been holding Q&A-format discussions for departments around campus to discuss the effects of the suspension, and alternative visas possibly available for their international job candidates. “It’s going to be individual situations that we will be looking at,” he said. “And unfortunately, for some of them we will have to say (to the departments), ‘They do not qualify for any visa at the moment,’ because we can’t get an H-1B in time.” McFarlane said that University departments and colleges will then have to make a decision to either delay hires and fi nd a way to fi ll job positions until candidates’ H-1B come into effect, or seek other options. “The University is just reacting as best as we can,” McFarlane said. “We are strongly encouraging departments and colleges not to let this factor into their hiring decisions. Identify the best person, then we’ll look at other options.” United States Citizenship and Immigration Services’ self-imposed suspension was reasoned as being a way to reduce the amount of regular H-1B applications backlogged due to the large influx and obligatory prioritization of premium processed applications. The suspension may last up to six months, and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services says it hopes to ultimately reduce the overall length of time it takes to process an application under regular processing. “It actually makes a lot of sense (the suspension),” McFarlane said. “It’s just, we had hoped (as an institution) ... that there would be an exception; unfortunately, that has proved not to be the case.”

F
ootball and basketball are great sports, but they are not the only sports on this campus that students should pay attention to and appreciate. This University is home to some extraordinary athletes, and some of them partake in sports that many students don’t always bother to go watch. Men’s tennis player Aleks Vukic earned two Big Ten wins during the weekend of April 8-9 against Iowa and Nebraska. The victories earned him Big Ten Tennis Athlete of the Week — his fourth of the season. Yes. Fourth. Only Ohio State’s Mikael Torpegaard has also received the award multiple times, and that was just twice. Vukic has achieved an 84-11 singles record during his time at Illinois and was named an Intercollegiate Tennis Association AllAmerican last year. We’re guessing this is the first time many of you have heard of him (excluding the Net Nuts crew who willfully shows up to each match
Mary Jane Horth led the Illini with several individual titles on bars and the balance beam to help the team finish fourth at the NCAA Regional. Football and men’s basketball have recently made a lot of positive noise off the court and are in the process of forming a winning foundation: However, there are many other athletes and teams dominating at Illinois right now. It’s a shame that many of them go unnoticed and unappreciated on campus. So, Illinois fans, take a moment to turn away from the football and basketball teams.

The many accomplishments that athletes who don’t play football or basketball achieve are underappreciated at the University. Vukic, softball pitcher Taylor Edwards or even two-time national champion wrestler Isaiah Martinez aren’t household names for the majority of University students.
Fans can certainly have opinions about which sports are most entertaining, but the athletes who aren’t out on the gridiron or basketball court work just as hard. And they need your attention because they deserve it. Former Illinois men’s golfer Thomas Pieters recently finished fourth at the Masters, a major tournament in professional golf.
Don’t blindly judge Trump MATT SILICH Columnist
It
started April 7, the morning after President Donald Trump authorized missile strikes against a Syrian air base in response to the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons against its own people. CNN’s Fareed Zakaria offered his take on TV the next morning, in what was undoubtedly a moment of high viewership for the news network as people sought to discover what happened in Syria and why. “I think Donald Trump became President of the United States,” Zakaria said. “Candidate Trump had said that he would never get involved in the Syrian Civil War … President Trump recognized that the President of the United States does have to act to enforce international laws.” Zakaria’s words were just one example of a frustrating trend in the news media, particularly the broadcast side, that occurs nearly every time the United States engages in military action: In lieu of more critical analysis and background information on the nature of the conflict, American viewers instead see pundits bloviating about various unimportant narratives. There’s no justifiable reason for news coverage to be so focused on offering empty opinions, particularly the morning after such an attack. The same phenomenon occurred Thursday when the U.S. military dropped the so-called “mother of all bombs” in Afghanistan. Americans deserve to hear the who, what, when, where and why of military action before we jump into hot takes on Trump’s legacy. A fun challenge for readers: Try to find a headline about the U.S. attack in Afghanistan on Thursday that doesn’t include a reference to the size of the bomb. I couldn’t find one. Americans are obsessed with big things that blow stuff up. That isn’t new nor unexpected, but it’s still as disappointing as ever. And the coverage of Trump after the previous missile strike falls under the same category of modern
news: romantically analyzing narratives that matter little when the world is at stake. Zakaria even knows this. His weekly column for the Washington Post, which went up the same day he said Trump “became president,” was a more measured opinion that still praised Trump for his moral compass while questioning his possibly nonexistent strategy in Syria. But instead of providing more of that analysis on the air, Zakaria instead pontificated about nothing. Some of that discrepancy can be accounted for because of the nature of live TV, and it’s understandable that one’s thoughts might not be quite as collected on air as in print. But if that’s the case, perhaps CNN and other broadcast media outlets could wait a little longer before diving into narratives. It wouldn’t be too taxing to the network’s bottom line to spend time reminding viewers of how the conflict began in Syria and why it has escalated to this point. Discussing why Barack Obama’s red line strategy with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad potentially led to this could help provide valuable context for current U.S. policy on the subject. More factbased coverage would help viewers come to their own conclusions about wheth-
er such an attack was justified. And maybe a day down the line — or at least, you know, a few hours — when the network’s journalistic responsibility to inform the public is fulfilled, one could hardly blame CNN for spending some time considering how the air strike affects Trump’s public perception. Zakaria responded to numerous complaints in a column Thursday, when he said his detractors were simply victims of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” incapable of expressing anything other than blind outrage toward the president. Zakaria is partially right: It can be difficult not to judge everything Trump does with a broad brush when he has such a history of disturbing actions. That’s something liberals should try to be conscious of before immediately passing judgment. But Zakaria also missed his hypocrisy. Regardless of how much he’d thought about his TV take, he explained little to none of his reasoning to viewers. His reaction to the air strike in Syria instead just contributed to the media’s troubling culture of blind praise for military actions. And blind praise is no better than the blind outrage he so actively condemned.

Grainger Engineering Library, located on the Bardeen Quad, is a hotspot for many overworked STEM students. Columnist Tyler says students should pursue the major they’re most interested in instead of the major they feel pressured to be in.
Find a fulfilling career, stay true to aspirations TYLER PANLILIO Columnist
My
parents hammered one piece of advice while growing up: Always do well in school. Prioritize academics, pursue a well-respected job and make a lot of money — it all seemed so simple back then. And for a lot of students here on campus, it’s likely they grew up hearing similar sentiments. Everyone wants to end up being successful in life. It’s what our parents wanted and probably what their parents wanted as well. It isn’t bad parenting to encourage your children to pursue science and technology. It is, however, more or less a social norm — especially when you take a look at this University. This is typically thought of as the best way to success, and what parent doesn’t want their kids to be rich and successful? This cycle tends to promote conformity rather than individuality. We grew up with a notion that doctors and engineers are the epitome of being successful because they make large amounts of money. As we got older, there was hardly any room for creativity: for art, literature and the rest of the humanities. Most of us naturally gravitated toward drawing or learning to play music
while growing up because it was challenging, yet fun. But beyond that, it also promoted creativity and selfexpression; it was nice to take a break from memorizing the multiplication table to draw your favorite superhero and hang it up on the fridge. There was a sense of pride there, not just because our parents patted us on the back for it, but because we actually felt it for ourselves. Then high school came along, and for the first time, a lot of students felt the competition of academics. Taking honors and AP classes, worrying about your ACT or SAT scores and eventually applying to your dream college — only to be put on a waitlist or just being flat-out rejected — are struggles we’ve all experienced. Of course, becoming an engineer or doctor doesn’t mean you’re any less creative or happy than an artist or a musician. But at the same time, it doesn’t mean that you should act like you’re better than someone who majored in graphic design. Students here on campus shouldn’t be pressured to pursue a STEM major just because everyone else is. Take a moment and think about what you really enjoy doing or what truly interests you. Don’t get me wrong, math and science are honorable pursuits. But some students — myself included — can’t see themselves being happy as an
engineer. What exactly happened to our childhood aspirations? Did reality slap us in the face and convince us that success and happiness is determined by how much money we make? It could be modern society’s favoritism of STEMoriented majors convincing us that anything else is a failure. Encouraging future generations to pursue engineering and science is good to have — there’s no doubt in that. Having a future where all careers are essentially the same, however, only continues the cycle. There needs to be variety here. Yes, we should further technology and science, but we also need the humanities. We need historians and journalists when humanity colonizes Mars. We need musicians and artists not only for entertainment, but also for addressing issues that can’t be done any other way. These pursuits provide culture and diversity that betters society. If anything, students of all majors should remember not to let the constant grind of school drain them out. Take a walk, smell the roses and remember that springtime is in full gear. Because there’s one thing we should all strive not to be: a cog in the machine.

What Harry Styles’ new single means for boybands there’s bound to be conflict where band members can’t agree on a singular sound for the band. Thankfully, Styles has made the most of a solo career in a short amount of time and has done it in the best way possible. The problem with solo acts sounding like their original bands is that it provides little-to-nothing new. A departure can provide a fresh start and outlook, which can even turn the heads of people that never dared to listen to the band before. The fans will stick around based on the name alone, and they might even start developing an appreciation for music they normally wouldn’t have listened to. This is especially important considering how young boyband audiences usually are. So now we’re left wondering if the time of boybands is coming to an end, and they’re not showing many signs of life at this point. As of January 2016, One Direction has been on a temporary hiatus that’s supposed to last 18 months. However, Harry hasn’t even released one of the three solo records included in his latest contract.

BY BILLY GALANT BUZZ WRITER
On April 7, One Direction’s number one heartthrob, Harry Styles, released his debut solo track “Sign of the Times.” The song is a complete departure from the stereotypical boyband sound. And that’s a good thing. It’s not pop — it’s a piano ballad with some rock elements. It’s certainly not radio-friendly — the runtime is a whopping 5 minutes and 40 seconds. The lyrics don’t talk about how cute a girl is, or even love at all — they talk about how bad the world is looking. It’s also surprisingly good. Styles’ singing is passionate and intense. There’s a grand chorus in the background, and the production is layered. It feels more like a journey with actual progression instead of a typical Top 40 song that takes a start-stop approach. Styles broke a tough mold and he only needed the one teaser track to do it. Even when his buddy Zayn started using a few more expletives in his music, Zayn was still stuck in his old ways. “Sign of the Times” provides solid ground to consider the limitations of boybands, to make the best of

PIANO love to play in a rock band and tour one day. That’s the dream job.” Piano has been a huge part of Arndt’s life, but playing publicly at the University has turned piano into a tool for social change. Khadijah Coleman, freshman in ACES and current resident at FAR, compared Arndt to Billy Joel’s famous “Piano Man.” “You know that song ‘Piano Man’ by Billy Joel, when he says, ‘Well we’re all in the mood for a melody, and you’ve got us feeling alright?’ When Tad plays the piano, it puts us all in a relaxed, chill mood,” Coleman said. “It brings everyone together. It makes us forget about an exam we may have failed or deadlines coming up.” Coleman described the first night she heard Arndt playing at the Oglesby Hall lounge at FAR, and talked about how cool the experience was. “We were all studying and enjoying each other’s company and he started playing an R&B, soul type song. And he had a friend come in and play the saxophone. It just got everyone dancing and laughing and it was just a really good vibe he created,” Coleman said. Coleman said music is meant for everyone in soci-

ety; it’s versatile, non-discriminatory and transcends race, religion and gender. She also claimed Arndt’s playing does more than just create an enjoyable environment. “He was just a fly on the wall at first, and when he started playing everyone turned to look at him,” Coleman said.

which is a very segregated building, he showed that people from all races can come together and have fun through a language that is universal,” Coleman said. For Arndt, playing is personal and special. He doesn’t consider it a social activity. It’s something he does for himself. “Playing is literally like a drug in my mind,” Arndt

said. “It’s a point where I can either just vent to the piano or just not think about anything else that’s going on and just be lost in playing. If I have the time I will play for hours and hours. It’s hard to walk away from.” According to Coleman, Arndt isn’t completely unaware of the impact he is having. “I think Tad plays piano because it’s simply what he loves to do. I do believe that he knows that he is making an impact on small pockets of the campus community, but that’s not why he plays,” Coleman said. “It’s just what he loves to do. He doesn’t do it for recognition or praise.” Sheehan and Coleman both believe Arndt has the potential to realize his dreams of becoming a successful musician. Sheehan thinks that Arndt’s love for music and his minor in music will make him very successful, whether it be through the piano, or even another instrument. “He certainly has potential to go far with music and he is obviously very talented,” Coleman said. “He just has to keep nurturing it and sharing his talent with more people. If he puts himself out there and networks, he can definitely have a very successful career in music.”

If something becomes popular and can sell tickets, it’s viewed as more valuable than something the members would actually be interested in doing. Let’s not forget that, considering the stark differences between Harry and Zayn,
moves in this era, it’s unlikely that bringing the band back together would produce anything close to its original popularity. Not only does music move faster, but we don’t listen to it in the same way we did seven years ago when we were first introduced to One Direction. Being played on the radio doesn’t have the same power it used to, so there’s less motivation to make music that’s perfectly tailored for popular appeal. When there’s more competition than ever before, it’s more valuable to make something that allows you to stand out from the crowd. The music landscape changed too fast for boybands to catch up. The pretty face strategy simply doesn’t work as well as it used to, and Styles is just getting out while he can. With millions of streams for the single under his belt, he’s already made his claim. There’s still time for Styles to pull a 180 on us and revert to his old ways, but for now we can hope that the future for boyband members is fi nally beginning to change.

There’s just a lot of colors, and even if you don’t know people, everyone’s just happy to be there.” Avani Patel, freshman in Engineering, said she particularly enjoyed the friendly nature of the celebration. “I think it’s just that random people are coming up to you and are like, ‘Hi, you need some color. My name is
so-and-so,’” Patel said. “You just meet so many people.” The celebration lasted from noon to 5 p.m. Between the powder-throwing, attendees could take a break and grab a meal on the opposite side of the fields or watch one of the many shows of the day. Different Indian student organizations put on exhilarating dance performances and live DJs played Bollywood music and remixes of popular songs, keeping the crowd on their feet. One of the more popular performances was from Bellydance UIUC, an RSO dedicated to teaching the art of belly dancing. Four of the
members performed at the festival, wowing the audience with their coordinated, effortless movements and colorful attire. They were followed by several other live performers throughout the day. Rithi Anandwade, freshman in LAS, was covered head to toe in red, green and yellow gulal at the event. She said the festival at the University was essentially the same as those in India. “It’s a social event for everyone, even for people who don’t like socializing,” Anadwade said.

University freshman showcases talent for piano, promotes social change BY MERAL AYCICEK STAFF WRITER
Gliding by on his longboard, Tad Arndt, freshman in LAS, doesn’t stick out from the crowd. All of this changes, however, the moment Arndt sits behind a piano. Known for playing publicly around campus, mainly at FAR, Bromley Hall and the Illini Union basement, Arndt has
been slowly gaining attention for his musical gift. Arndt started playing piano when he was 4 years old. He didn’t like playing until he was in eighth grade and only continued initially because of pressure from his mother. “No one ever knew I played piano in my school because I didn’t like it and I didn’t really tell anyone about it,” Arndt
said. “Then my friend told me I should play it for the talent show and I did. That’s when I realized that piano is a great thing as a social tool and is a good reflection of myself.” Alex Sheehan, freshman in DGS, is Arndt’s close friend and fraternity brother. Sheehan fi rst heard Arndt playing piano on a late September night at FAR.
He said Arndt is also very good on the guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, banjo, the drums and the xylophone. “I’ve never asked him about piano specifically, but I know music has been a huge part of his life since he was a kid, whether that be percussion or string instruments,” Sheehan said. “I think that music is a way for him to express
himself.” To Arndt, piano is more than just a means of self-expression or something to pass the time. “Honestly, if I could, I would dedicate my life to music and just become a rock star or something,” Arndt said. “I’m minoring in music with an emphasis on music composition. I would

Illinois celebrates spring with Hindu festival of colors BY TESS O’BRIEN STAFF WRITER
A cloud of red, blue, yellow, green and orange powders filled the air. The continually-growing crowd began settling down to intermittent performances, ranging from belly dancers to children’s groups. Holi, the Indian festival of colors, had begun. Saturday, Asha UIUC, a nonprofit organization that works toward promoting the education of underprivileged children in India, held its annual Holi celebration at the Florida and Lincoln Fields in Urbana. The festival, which announces the arrival of spring and the defeat of evil, is the group’s primary fund-
raiser for several education projects in India. Usually, the holiday is celebrated earlier in the year, but with the unpredictable weather in the area, Asha always hosts the festival in the second week of April. During Show & Tell Central Illinois, Punit Singhvi, graduate student and member of Asha UIUC, described the mythology behind Holi. He emphasized the idea of the destruction of evil, telling the story of how the demoness Holika was burned to death by the god Vishnu. “The devil or the evil was defeated by the lord which signifies the bringing of happiness, and this is what Holi celebrates,” Singhvi said. “People were so happy after
that they expressed their joy through colors.” Thousands of students and community members celebrated the festival. After buying a ticket, attendees were given bags filled with gulal, the traditional colored powders which are characteristic of the festival. To play, people would smear or throw their gulal on anyone in sight, often wishing a cheerful “happy Holi” with the toss. Within minutes of arriving, attendees were completely covered in colors.

McNicholas brings positivity to her team BY JACOB DIAZ STAFF WRITER
A track star, an outgoing leader, a guard on the basketball team, a soccer player, a nuclear engineer, a prospective medical student, a gym rat and a valedictorian. It sounds like it could be the cast of a John Hughes coming-of-age fi lm. But if that movie was shot at Rochester High School last year, it would have been a one-woman show, and that woman would have been Meagan McNicholas. McNicholas, now a freshman in Engineering, was a threesport athlete at Rochester. She received offers to play both track and basketball in college; however, McNicholas never fell behind in her academics. In fact, she excelled in them. “(My sports) were in three different seasons,” McNicholas said. “But I actually graduated valedictorian of my class, which was a big thing for me. I knew coming into senior year that I had a shot to do that, and knowing that helped me stay on top of my school stuff.” While she admitted that her senior year schedule — which involved sleeping from midnight until 3 a.m. after basketball games before waking up to fi nish her homework before school — was an unhealthy way of life, the results are hard to dispute.

Matthew James helps secure win against Northwestern BY THOMAS POLCYN STAFF WRITER
It took Illinois 11 innings Friday before fi nally securing a 4-3 victory over Northwestern. Saturday was a different story, as the Illini were never really in the game, dropping it 11-4. Sunday, however, might have been one of the team’s most solid games of the season, winning the game and the series — a first against a Big Ten opponent this season. The Illini have now won seven of their last 10 games. Head coach Dan Hartleb said the win means a lot to his team, and that he has been happy with its play as of late. “It’s something we needed to get accomplished,” Hartleb said. “We put ourselves behind the eight-ball a little bit by getting swept the first one and losing the second, but to fi nally get back to winning ways, especially at home, was much needed.” A big part of the Illini victory was due to starting pitcher Matthew James. James fi nished the day with 5 2/3 innings pitched, allowing just five hits and three earned runs. The start was the
senior’s longest of the season. “He did a good job today,” Hartleb said. “Today was a big game for us, and he had a good outing on Tuesday, so he earned this start. But he went out and just produced and did a really good job. It was an important day for us and a good day for him.” Hartleb added that he thinks the reason for the team’s recent success is due to its maturation over the season and eliminating the errors it was making early in the season. The Illini took an early lead Sunday, scoring two runs in the bottom of the third for the first runs of the game. Left fielder Dan Rowbottom got the Illini on the board after walking and advancing on a Trent Hammond double. Rowbottom eventually scored on Jack Yalowitz groundout. Hammond also went on to score after freshman infielder Ben Troike knocked him in with a line drive back up the middle. Troike advanced to second on a controversial rundown — Northwestern head coach Spencer Allen argued

It was not easy for Hiltzik and the Illini, as they started with their fi rst doubles point loss in
five matches. “They dismantled us in doubles,” said head coach Brad Dancer. “There’s nothing left to say about that.” However, the Illini turned it around in singles play with both Aleks Vukic and Noe Khlif winning in straight sets, making the score 2-2. The match fell on the shoulders of Hiltzik and freshman Aleks Kovacevic to gain the two points

Junior Leigh Farina had a big weekend for the Illinois softball team. The 5-foot-5 shortstop had 10 plate appearances in three games against Michigan State and made the most of her opportunities. She batted just over .300 and recorded seven hits against the Spartans, helping lead the Illini to their third Big Ten series sweep of the season. In the fi rst game of the weekend, Illinois jumped out to a 2-0 lead behind RBI singles from senior Alyssa Gunther and junior Maddi Doane in the third and fourth innings, respectively. But the fi fth frame was when the Illini found their offensive rhythm. With the bases loaded and one out, senior Ruby Rivera doubled to right center field, clearing the bases and bringing in three more runs. Junior Sam Acosta was next up to bat and singled to advance Rivera to third. Farina capped off the inning by bringing Rivera home on an RBI single. Michigan State fi nally got on the board in the bottom of the fi fth inning thanks to an RBI single from Melanie Long and two Illinois errors. The Spartans scored again in the sixth, but the Illini would go on to win 6-3. Senior Breanna Wonderly pitched a complete game and improved her record to 14-9. Despite giving up three runs, she tied her season-high with five strikeouts. The following afternoon, the Illini and Spartans were back for a double-header. In the fi rst game, Illinois jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead behind a sacrifice fly by Rivera. But unlike in the previous outing — in which Michigan State trailed the entire game — the Spartans responded by scoring three unearned runs in the bottom of the fi rst to take a 3-1 lead.
Michigan State extended its lead to three runs in the bottom of the second inning and led 5-3 heading into the game’s fi nal inning. But before the Spartans secured their 22nd victory of the season, the Illini proved that the game was far from over. With the game on the line, redshirt freshman Veronica Reulius stepped up to the plate. The Illini had two runners in scoring position, and the outfielder delivered by doubling to right center field. Illinois tied the game at five and went on to win by one in eight innings. The fi nal game of the series proved to be a lot less dramatic than the second. The Illini used a trio of pitchers against the Spartans, but sophomore Taylor Edwards recorded the win in Illi-
nois’ 9-5 victory. She pitched 4 2/3 innings and improved her overall record of the season to 13-1. Rivera was the fi rst to strike, crushing a two-run home run in the fi rst inning. Senior Nicole Evans joined in on the scoring by recording her 14th long ball of the season. The home run also marked the 49th of her career, which is two away from tying the all-time program record. The Illini have now won seven-straight games and are 10-2 in conference play. The series sweep also moves the team to 6-3 on the road and 31-10 overall. Illinois will have a few days off until it plays at home Wednesday against Butler.

Illini split road trip with win against Penn State, loss against Ohio State BY CHRISTIAN EVANS STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s tennis team went 1-1 during its short homestand, losing to No. 4 Ohio State on Friday and beating Penn State on Sunday. In the first doubles match, the Illini lost on Court One to the Buckeyes. Ohio State’s Francesca Di Lorenzo and Miho Kowase defeated sophomore Ines Vias and senior Louise Kwong, 6-1. Sandy Niehaus and Olivia Sneed clinched the doubles point on Court Three for Ohio State in a 6-4 win over Illinois’ sophomore Daniela Pedraza Novak and senior Alexis Casati. The Buckeyes carried the momentum from doubles into singles matches. In the first singles match, Sneed defeated Illinois’ junior Grace Tapak 6-0, 6-1 at the No. 6 position. Ohio State’s Anna Sanford followed that up on Court Two in a 6-2, 6-3 win over Casati to extend the Buckeye lead to 3-0. Niehaus clinched the Buckeyes win in the next match. She won 6-2, 6-4 at the No. 5 position over Novak. Kowase extended her win streak to 19 in the next match, defeating Illini senior Madie Baillon on Court Three 6-2, 6-3.

BASEBALL that he was out of the base path — but the Illini could not capitalize on the opportunity, eventually stranding him on the base path. But, that would not keep the Wildcats out of the game, as they quickly answered on a solo-shot by designated hitter Joe Hoscheit in the top of the fourth. The home run was Hoscheit’s second of the series and fourth of the season. The Illini were quick to get that run back in the sixth inning with Yalowitz launching his seventh home run of the season and third in his last four games. After heading into the sixth with a 3-1 lead, James looked ready to settle in and

Despite that, the Illini started off well against the Nittany Lions. They won at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles to win the valuable doubles point. On Court One, Kwong and Vias beat Penn State pair Devan McCluskey and Bennett Dunn, 6-1. Casati and Novak clinched the doubles point in a 6-3 win over Katia Blik and Samantha Smith. With a 1-0 lead, Illinois did not let up in singles. Switkes started things off on Court Four against the Nittany Lions’ Dunn. Switkes deafeated Dunn 6-0, 6-1. At No. 5 singles, Novak fought to extend the Illini lead to 3-0. She won 6-2, 2-6, 6-2 over Penn State’s Smith. Baillon battled for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 win over Penn State’s Jacqueline Zuhse at the No. 3 position. Baillon’s win gave Illinois a 4-0 victory over Penn State. The Illini improved to 12-11 overall and 6-3 in conference play with the win. The Nittany Lions fell to 5-14 overall and 2-7 in conference.

Wildcats were not done. After loading the bases, Schmitt allowed a baseclearing double to the gap by Lind to collect his second, third and fourth RBIs of the game. Following a single to right, Schmitt was taken out after throwing 1 1/3 innings, allowing four earned runs on six hits. Illini closer Joey Gerber came in and immediately induced a double play, which was promptly followed by a walk before Hammond made a diving stop at third, throwing the runner out at first. The ninth inning brought even more chaos. After quickly retiring the fi rst batter in the top of the ninth, Gerber gave up backto-back doubles to allow the Wildcats back within two runs. He followed that up by

WOMEN’S BBALL found time for three sports in her busy schedule and did well enough to receive scholarship offers in her sport of choice. Heading into her fi nal year at Rochester, McNicholas had her heart set on running track in college. But as the year went on, she had a change of heart. “I was set on running in college until senior year when I realized ‘I don’t really like this that much,’” McNicholas said. “I had kind of put basketball on the backburner because I knew that I could run somewhere better; I knew academics were going to be a big thing for me.” McNicholas told her coach to fi nd her a spot on a basketball team somewhere, fully aware of how late she was to the recruiting process. She knew that the best she could hope for was a walkon spot, and she almost took one at Eastern Illinois. But after conferring with her family, she decided the academic opportunity at Illinois was too good to pass up. “I got into the engineering program (at Illinois),” McNicholas said. “And my dad was like, ‘you’re going to need to get a job someday, and you’re gonna be about as set up as you can be there.’” And so she arrived on campus in the fall, her schedule, once chock-full of as many athletics and academics as she could handle, looked rather bare. McNicholas began life as something she had never been before — an average student. The freshman said she had no issues adjusting to the college workload, but despite all the extra time she had, she began reverting to her senior year sleep schedule. With all her newfound time, McNicholas gravitated toward activities many of her peers enjoyed. She went to class, joined a sorority, hit the gym regularly, but still felt like something was missing. “I was kind of mad for a while,” McNicholas said. “I

Wittinger got to know McNicholas after rooming together on road trips. want to play sports; I don’t want to just hang out. What am I gonna do?” Luckily for her, McNicholas had the right team behind her. Derek Leonard, Rochester’s head football coach, who coaches her younger brother, put in a good word on Meagan’s behalf with then-Illinois women’s basketball head coach Matt Bollant. This culminated in an interesting walk home for McNicholas from chemistry class one day. “Coach Bollant got my number and called me, and I thought it was a joke,” McNicholas said. “When he called me, I remember I was outside chemistry and I was like, ‘Who is this?’ I was really confused.” McNicholas tried out for a spot on the team shortly after. She was apprehensive heading into the tryout; while she had kept relatively in shape, it had been a long time since she had stepped on a court. The tryout was, however, a success, and McNicholas
joined the team as a walkon in early December, just after the season started. She made her debut against Fort Wayne on Dec. 2, 2016, playing one minute in front of the State Farm Center crowd. But before she hit the floor, before she even entered the arena as a player, she had to go through something that all walk-ons go through.
Meeting her second family
“The fi rst reaction (to a walk-on) is like, ‘we don’t know how we feel about this,’” said McNicholas’ teammate Cydnee Kinslow. “But when she came in and fit right in, right away we were like ‘she’s defi nitely gonna be a part of us.’” McNicholas was nervous the fi rst time she met her new teammates. She knew she had quite a loud, outgoing personality, and she didn’t want to scare away her team with it. But once she began to get more comfortable with them, her teammates said they all connected.
“She’s outgoing. She’s nice, just a really enjoyable person to be around,” sophomore forward Alex Wittinger said. “So right away when she got here, people liked her.” Wittinger, in particular, got to know McNicholas well, as the two shared a room on many road trips. The sophomore is also an engineering student. One might expect that she would have helped McNicholas adjust to managing a rigorous course load and college athletics, however, Wittinger admitted that it wasn’t necessary. “I haven’t had to do much,” Wittinger said about helping McNicholas adjust. “She’s figured it out pretty well for herself.” McNicholas also has found a fan in Kinslow. She described McNicholas as a long-lost sister, whose personality matches the self-professed laid-back Californian. “She’s always at our house; she sleeps on our couch sometimes,” Kinslow said. “She’s like our lit-

MEN’S TENNIS the Illini needed. Kovacevic rallied after losing the first set to take the next two, winning 7-6 (7-4), 6-3, leaving the Illini one point away from the road victory. Hiltzik delivered, beating the Wolverines’ Alex Knight in three sets, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5, and won the last three games in the decisive third set after falling behind 5-4. “I’m proud of Aron for continuing to give himself a chance when he was nowhere near his best,” Dancer said. “That match was all mental for him today, and he gutted it out for the team.” Illinois traveled to Michigan State on Sunday, where they delivered a resoundtle dog that is always in our apartment; she goes everywhere with us.” The redshirting Kinslow and McNicholas spent a lot of time together on the bench this season, but their relationship really grew in the weight room, where both were members of a group that called themselves the ‘Swole Squad.’ The ‘Swole Squad’ is a group of mostly role players who, throughout the season, volunteered for extra weight training with assistant strength and conditioning coach Emily Esselman. The group swelled in size throughout the season, but Kinslow said that McNicholas has always stood out from the crowd. “She’s an absolute beast in the weight room,” Kinslow said. “You would never believe it, but she can outlift anybody.” Esselman completely agrees. “To put it very bluntly, she’s a stallion in there,” Esselman said. “It’s very black-and-white in the weight room — you either can do it, or you get crushed by the weight. She’s what we call a highly trained athlete in the weight room. She’s done it from a young age — high school or maybe even before then.” McNicholas said that she is more comfortable in the weight room and that it is her domain. “I really like the weight room just because it’s not basketball skills,” McNicholas said.
Leading from the bench
Coming in as a walk-on, McNicholas knew that she would not see significant time on the floor. In fact, in the seven games she played this season, she totaled eight minutes, one assist, one steal and one foul. However, McNicholas was not going to let that stat line defi ne her season. She worked hard to improve herself in practice and in the gym, knowing that her game days were essentially days off. But she found a way to have an impact despite spending most of her games with a long-sleeved shirt over her jersey. “I just think one thing
ing follow-up performance as Dancer won his 100th Big Ten match with the program. The Illini gave Vukic and his 16-straight singles wins a rest, defeating the Spartans 7-0 behind five freshmen singles players. Hiltzik got his second win of the weekend, joining Khlif, Gui Gomes, Kovacevic, Zeke Clark and Vuk Budic in the win column Sunday. The Illini have won five matches in a row after suffering a four-match losing streak in March. The team now boasts a 6-2 Big Ten record. Illinois looks to continue the winning streak next weekend at home, taking on Penn State and Ohio State on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
brianb2@dailyillini.com @binzy_20 that I can bring personally is that I try to be a really good teammate,” McNicholas said. “I can’t lead with minutes on the court or points, but you can always be a better teammate. It’s really important to me to let my teammates know that I want them to do well.” McNicholas has found a voice on the team, despite not spending much time on the floor and has used her positive personality to pick up her teammates and motivate them to improve. Esselman noticed this about McNicholas and thinks that she is the perfect person for the role. “She has the kind of personality that you just can’t hate,” Esselman said. “If something bad does happen, she’ll always see the positive side in it, and it’s contagious.” Esselman stressed that on a team comprised of more than half freshmen, having someone with McNicholas’ personality is crucial. She said that McNicholas is serious when she needs to be, but that having her around when things go wrong helps keep her teammates from burying their heads in their hands. And on a team that lost its last 11 regular season games, McNicholas’ ability to keep spirits up was needed often. Aside from the freshmen, McNicholas’ older teammates also have grown to appreciate her positivity on the bench. “I’ve never seen her really down,” Wittinger said. “Even though she doesn’t play a ton, she’s super important because she gets people going.” Going forward, McNicholas is looking to grow her game individually, but her motivation to improve comes from a selfless perspective. “I want to get better, obviously, but not even to get minutes,” McNicholas said. “I want to be good enough to help the team in practice, playing good defense and offense. I want to get better so I can help my team get better.”

Three Illini set personal records over weekend BY MEGHAN REST STAFF WRITER
Senior Valerie Bobart and junior Nicole Choquette traveled to California and set new personal records, likely qualifying for the NCAA West Prelims. Junior Janile Rogers followed suit at the University of South Carolina’s Gamecock Invitational, collecting a personal record in the 200-meter dash. Bobart finished with a time of 10:27.46 in the 3000-meter steeplechase at the Bryan Clay Invitational. The veteran runner fi nished seventh in the 53-athlete fi eld, shaving three seconds off her previous best of 10:30.70, which she set at the Drake Relays last year. Bobart was the second Big Ten runner to cross the fi nish line behind Michigan’s Claire Borchers, who won the event. Choquette cut down on her personal record time, too. She clocked a 2:06.56 in the 800-meter run at the Bryan Invitational following Bobart’s performance. The time was two-tenths of a second better than her previous record of 2:06.70, which she set at the Rankin Invitational in 2015. “This past weekend was for (building speed); we’re happy it worked out in the sequence. It’s all part of the jigsaw puzzle of overlapping meets,” said distance coach Scott Jones. “I think we want to have balanced training, especially for a
middle distance runner, which is a blending of both speed and endurance, so we’re not too far on either side of the spectrum.” Choquette said she has focused heavily on the 800-meter race, even while competing in other distance events. Jones thinks this weekend’s personal record may be attributed to training emphasized on stamina rather than shorter speed work. “Nicole (Choquette) was blessed to be hard-wired to run fast, so we really haven’t spent as much time focusing on that this season,” Jones said. “Doing things that are a little more stamina-based and 800-specific rather than shorter and faster.” Choquette said she has worked on performing well through the entire race, especially with the postseason less than a month away. “The difference is that she’s an experienced athlete now,” said head coach Ron Garner. “She just needs to get some competitions under her belt so that she can run different rhythm of races depending on how the particular race goes out.” The distance duo aimed at running fast times, and Garner said the progress is putting the athletes in a good place. In South Carolina, Rogers clocked a 200-meter personal record of 23.90 seconds. Garner said Rogers is ahead of schedule and also shows
promise for the postseason. “We now have two people that have run sub-24.00 second 200 meters with Pedrya (Seymour) and Janile, which is a month ahead of schedule from last year,” Garner said. “We didn’t have anyone do that until Big Ten Championships.” Sophomore Briana Driver also accompanied Rogers in South Carolina. Although the pair’s primary focus was to jump in South Carolina, they found more success in the running events. Driver fi nished in 11.86 seconds in the 100-meter dash but faltered when it came to her jumps. “We didn’t quite get accomplished what we came to do. They did everything I asked of them,” Garner said. “The thing that I’m most pleased with is the process. We came up a little short from a performance standpoint, but our effort was there.” Rogers le ap e d a 5.68-meter jump, while Driver nailed down a 5.81-meter effort on her fi nal attempt. “She kept working through the very end of competition and got the 19’0.75” (5.81m) on the last jump to make it a solid day,” Garner said. The Illini host the Illinois Twilight meet on Saturday. The fi rst event is set to begin at 3 p.m.

She was a nominee for the 2017 McDonald’s All-American game. “ We are extremely excited about the addition of Lyric to our Illini family,” Fahey said in a press release. “Her upbeat attitude and positive outlook are contagious, and she possesses a work ethic that will allow her to be successful both in the classroom and on the court. Lyric’s speed and ability to defend multiple positions will be a huge asset to our team.” The Illini added six freshmen to the roster last season and has continued the trend into the 2017-18 season. Robins joins three other recruits who had signed under former head coach Matt Bollant: Channise Lewis of Miami, Addaya Moore of Granite City, Illinois, and forward Jnaya Walker of Bolingbrook, Illinois. Standing at 5-foot-8, Lewis helped lead her high school to three consecutive state championships and is a two-time Class 3A fi rstteam All-State honoree. This helped her earn the No. 77 ESPN recruiting ranking. Ranked as ESPN’s No. 19 forward, Walker turned down offers from Wisconsin and Nebraska before signi ng with Illinois.
