Some college campuses ban Yik Yak app Anonymous app sparks debate over censorship, public safety BY FARAZ MIRZA STAFF WRITER
One of the fastest growing startups is being shut down on college campuses across the nation. Yik Yak, an anonymous social media app that allows users to post public comments, or “yaks,” has become popular among college campuses since its launch in 2013. Generally meant to be a fun outlet to share thoughts, jokes and observations, the application has also been known to promote gossip and breaking news.
The Trouble with Yik Yak Because the app is completely anonymous, there is no fi lter to what is posted; this has allowed a platform for cheating, serious pranks or false reports of crime and cyber-bullying through racism and hate speech. One such incident occurred at Michigan State University, where freshman Matthew Mullen who on Nov. 24, 2014 wrote on Yik Yak, “I’m gonna (gun symbol) the school at 12:15 p.m. today.” With the help of Yik Yak, MSU police tracked Matthew Mullen to his dorm room in less than two hours, after which he was arrested. Patrick Wade, communications specialist for the University of Illinois Police Department, said there haven’t been any similar incidents at the University. “As far as the specific threats like bomb threats or anything like that, to my knowledge, we haven’t

had any of those issues, but obviously we monitor social media all the time, and we’re always looking for those kinds of things” Wade said. Wade said if these issues become relevant on campus, banning the app wouldn’t be an effi cient solution. “We’re not into the practice of censoring people,” Wade said. “The thing with social media is, if you take away one, it goes right to another.” Basic rules of the app advise against targeting other individuals; failure to follow the rules results in repeated warnings until the account is eventually suspended. Despite the possibility for these bad incidents to occur, each “yakker” has the ability to upvote or downvote on a yak, show-

A Quick Solution Many universities have decided banning the app may be the quickest way to solve its issues. Campuses, including Utica College in New York and Norwich University in Vermont, have already banned the app by blocking it from their respec-
tive wireless networks. The University of Michigan-Dearborn student government downvoted the app in a recent resolution . Other campuses, such as Chapel Hill in North Carolina and Clemson University in South
Carolina have considered banning the app. John Gouch , assistant director of media relations at Clemson, said there is no real plan to try to ban the app, though it

Conference brings Qualcomm, Google Week-long event explores career options of ECE majors BY ANGELICA LAVITO SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTOR
Now in its fourth year, the annual student-run conference ECE Pulse, the “Seven Wonders of ECE,” a weeklong conference running until Feb. 21., kicked off on Saturday. This is the first year the conference will be held over a week-long period, rather than a weekend, and guest speakers will make presentations on a variety of topics related to engineering. “The main goal of Pulse is basically a celebration of ECE as a major or a field of study,”

Senate discusses Salaita resolution BY ABIGALE SVOBODA STAFF WRITER
A resolution asking administrators and the Board of Trustees to reconsider Steven Salaita’s appointment was approved by the academic senate last week; however, the Board of Trustees will not budge on its firm decision to reject Salaita’s appointment. The Illinois Faculty for Academic Freedom and Tenure proposed a resolution at the Feb. 9 Academic
Senate meeting, asking the senate to urge the Board, Chancellor Phyllis Wise and President Robert Easter to implement the recommendations made in the Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure report made in December. The resolution was eventually approved in a 51-41 vote, however it did not come easily. The report recommended Salaita’s appointment be reviewed and reconsid-
ered by a committee within the College of LAS; LAS is home to the department of American Indian Studies, where Salaita was originally offered a tenured position. Kim Graber, professor in kinesiology and community health, said she is opposed to asking the administration to reconsider Salaita’s case because a federal lawsuit between both parties is now underway. Additionally, Graber reminded the
Senate the Board has made it clear that the case will not be revisited. “Why put a dean in the position of putting a committee together when we already know what the answer is going to be?” she asked. The Board released a statement in January stating that the Sept. 11 decision not to reconsider Salaita’s appointment was final, a statement University spokesman Tom Hardy

The academic senate passed three recommendations regarding shared governance and academic freedom procedures, calling for clearer guidelines, at its Monday meeting. The recommendations were submitted by Kirk Sanders, associate professor in classics; Ben McCall, professor in chemistry; Joyce Tolliver, professor and University Senates Conference representative; and Nick Burbules, chair of the committee on general education policy.

YIK YAK was briefly considered in January. Ross Wantland, director of Diversity Education and Social Justice at UIUC, said in an email there are currently no plans for Yik Yak to be banned at the University. “We know that many of the individuals who post racist, sexist and other bigoted statements on social media are out to make a ‘joke,’ but we also know that these comments also impact other students ability to feel like this is a community where they are welcome and belong.”
Yik Yak Talks Back In response to incidents, lead community developer of Yik Yak Cam Mullen said the company recognizes that with any form of social media, there is always the possibility of misuse. Mullen declined to comment on whether Yik Yak has faced lawsuits. “Yik Yak is a tool, and just like a hammer can build houses, it can also hurt people,” Cam Mullen said. In regard to threats, Mullen said it is something taken very seriously, and

ECE targeted companies that are well-known leaders in innovation, but also wanted to bring in a wider range of companies to highlight how electrical and computer engineering knowledge is being applied in different industries. “We tried to really reach into the different research fields that an ECE major could get into,” Sivaraman said. In addition to hosting guest speakers, ECE Pulse also gives students the opportunity to apply their knowledge outside of the classroom and participate in student design competitions. Teams of up to three members could participate in 12-hour competitions, held on Saturday. The teams were given the opportunity to register one of four competitions: Freshman Embedded, Freshman TTL, Software and Signal Processing. A fifth competition, Digital Design, was rescheduled for Feb. 21. Sivarama said the prompts
more aligned with the University’s statutes. The second recommendation suggests if the chancellor continues to independently review a candidate for hiring, a clear procedure should be developed for consulting with unit administrations and relevant faculty. The third r e c o m mendation states the Statutes and General Rules should be reviewed by a Universitywide committee to ensure the Un iversity’s policies on academic freedom, extramural speech and the expression of each are in agreement with the American Association of University Professor’s policies. Some senators believed the creation of a new com-
mittee would be in conflict with the Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure. Burbules clarified that while each three campuses of the University has its own Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure, the ad hoc committee proposed in the third recommendation would be one committee composed of members from Ur b a n a , Springfield and Chicago. Tolliver supported Burbules’ st ate m e n t , stating the University St at utes are not campus documents and cannot be amended by campus bodies alone. McCall added the recommendations were not intended to take the place of CAFT but instead cre-
the company works closely with local authorities to track down individuals in such situations. Although Yik Yak users are anonymous, the Yik Yak team has access to all locations of users’ posts, as well as a history of yaks made with accounts. This allows them to track and identify a person. “Sometimes Yik Yak might get a call saying ‘we have a threat posted.’ In other cases, we’ve actually noticed it first and reached out to the local authorities, telling them about it,” Mullen said. Mullen believes despite campuses trying to block the app from their WiFi networks, it isn’t particularly effective, as a lot of students are connected to their data plans on 3G or 4G networks. Mullen explained anonymity is one of the key features that has made Yik Yak so popular and would probably never be taken away. Ongoi ng efforts to improve user experience includes the restriction of the app in middle and high school areas. It has succeeded in restricting 85 percent of those locations. When in a restricted area, users are sent a message saying that they are blocked from “yakking.” Yik Yak has also devel-
oped a new feature that allows certain key words such as “bomb” to trigger a warning, which asks whether users are sure they want to post. Mullen said this tool is very valuable, as users who describe their lunch as “the bomb” can do so without being afraid of intervention from the local authorities, while users trying to post a serious threat as a joke are given a second chance to reconsider the consequences.
The recommendations proposed to clarify University rules regarding position offerings ... to be more aligned with the University’s statutes.
employed students’ knowledge from the electrical and computer engineering curriculum and potential realworld problems. Participants of the Signal Processing competition were challenged to create something that would help a person lose weight to find a date for Valentine’s Day. “All of the other challenges, and in years past, they’ve all been challenges,” said Dario Aranguiz, senior in Engineering. “This was the first time where they’ve said, ‘Here’s a thing; make something cool.’ ” Aranguiz, Brady Salz and Ahmed Suhyl, all seniors in electrical engineering, created Reps 480085, a machine that uses a rep tracker when lifting weights. An image on the screen is initially blurry, but gets clearer with each rep the person performs. “This one was a lot more open-ended because they gave you tools and said here, ‘make something cool with it,’ ” Salz said. Because the competition allowed for more creativity this year, Aranguiz said it is harder to gauge where his
An Optimistic Approach Despite negative effects of the app, some campuses have found powerful ways to spread positivity. Events, such as the grand jury decisions of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, prompted racist comments on Yik Yak at Colgate University, located in Hamilton Village, New York. In result, students organized a three-day silent sit-in on Sept. 22, 2014 to protest the university’s lack of diversity. Geoff Holm, assistant professor of biology at Colgate, said in an email he decided to arrange a professor-led positive movement on Yik Yak after seeing the racist yaks. The movement consisted of approximately 50 professors posting inspiring and

ate a way for the campus to move forward, away from the issues stirred by the Steven Salaita controversy. The senate eventually voted in approval of the recommendations. Following the vote, Kristina Riedel, professor in linguistics, called for a quorum, stating there were not enough senators present to vote on the recommendations. A head count proved that only 97 members were present, falling short of the required 100 members to make quorum. Senators expressed disapproval of Riedel’s call, as she had previously expressed opposition for the recommendations. Burbules reminded the senate it is bad precedent to call a quorum to avoid certain issues. According to parliamentary procedures, the vote stood, resulting in the end of the meeting. The remaining agenda items will be postponed until its March 9 meeting.

positive yaks to spread love among Colgate’s Yik Yak community. Holm said the movement served to send a message to students that comments are not solely viewed by students, and others are likely to form opinions of Colgate’s community based on what is posted. “I think Yik Yak is like a truck stop bathroom wall: you can’t really control exactly what goes on there, and for the most part you can ignore it, but if things that are truly offensive end up there, it can color peoples’ perception of that community,” Holm said.

reiterated. Bruce Levine, history professor and resolution author, argued the vote to support CAFT is “a crucial test” of the senate’s ability to defend the campus’ rights and interests. Cary Nelson, professor in English, said he believes censure from the Association of American University Professors is “pretty definite” but there are actions, such as encouraging the reconsideration of
the CAFT report, that could help the University’s case before the June decision. Nick Burbules, professor in educational policy disagreed, argued the College of LAS is “deeply divided” over the issue and would not be able to conduct a fair and objective review of the case, as intended in the report.

Not content just to torture New England with blizzard after blizzard, Mother Nature is expected to unleash heavy snow and uncharacteristically bitter cold on the Midwest, the South and the East this week. The governors of Virginia and North Carolina declared states of emergency Monday
as a winter storm, lumbering their direction, dumped almost a foot of snow on parts of the Midwest and ice and sleet from Tennessee to Georgia. As of midday Monday, winter storm warnings touching 17 states and affecting millions of residents stretched from Missouri to New Jersey.
Judge in Boston bombing case says he is close to forming a jury pool WASHINGTON — The federal judge in the Boston Marathon bombing case says he has found 54 of the 70 people needed for a suitable jury pool, and a court official predicted testimony would begin in the “near future.” But defense lawyers for
bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Thursday will once again ask an appellate court to halt the proceeding or move it out of the Boston area, claiming impartial jurors cannot be found so close to the site of the terrorist attack.
Grand jury indicts man accused in Chapel Hill shooting that killed 3 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — A Durham County grand jury handed up indictments Monday, charging Craig Stephen Hicks with three counts of murder and one count of discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling in the fatal shooting last week that left two
families and two university communities struggling for answers. Hicks, 46, turned himself in to two deputies outside the Chatham County sheriff’s office after the violence that police contend is rooted in a long-running parking dispute.

Silencing an issue doesn’t solve the problem
E
verything sets on fire all the time — frats, academic buildings, restaurants. Knifewielding maniacs roam the Quad. Tim Beckman gets fired a few times a week. Everyone is either drunk or hungover all of the time, and fraternity brothers shower together every day. This doesn’t actually happen, of course, but Yik Yak starts and perpetuates these rumors. Police officers are forced to spend time monitoring the app; Daily Illini breaking news reporters spend time monitoring the app. We often are forced to call the police and fire departments, listen to police scanners and drive to different locations to see if there are emergency vehicles outside. Normally, this isn’t because of what actually happens, instead, its because of the untrue rumors that the app starts. Often, these rumors are dangerous, causing students to panic or worry about something that isn’t true and forcing emergency services to spend precious resources chasing and disproving rumors. Many times, the yaks are racist and sexist. Despite the dangers of the app, a university cannot ban its use — despite what some institutions of higher education — including Utica College and Norwich University — are trying to do. These postings on Yik Yak are often based on misinformation, ignorant and irresponsible, so much so that we felt it was important enough to write an editorial about intelligent use of social media on Oct. 27. We realize that part of the fun of Yik Yak is anonymous postings, but when these postings make other students feel unsafe or uncomfortable, they harm the campus community. Still, we are glad the University has not considered banning the app. A ban would not be enforceable, and it only serves to anger students. There are many more positive ways to spur change than unnecessarily upsetting students. Education about why these types of postings are harmful are much more effective than a ban would be. We cannot, and should not, silence voices, even if they are anonymous. A better way to address university concerns about the Yik Yak app could be to get to the root of the issue and tackle the importance of effective and considerate social media use. This stems back to last January, when a plethora of inappropriate, tasteless tweets and social media posts came out about Chancellor Phyllis Wise after she announced we would not have a snow day despite weather conditions. After this event, the University responded with several discussions about diversity and inclusivity that helped shed light on the reality of digital hate. This is the same type of response we would hope colleges have for Yik Yak. Instead of silencing the issue, campus administrators from concerned colleges and universities should work to address the issue of Yik Yak head-on to help promote more effective, appropriate use of the app.
Campus events a chance to grow CAMRON OWENS Opinions columnist
O
ne of the best aspects of attending a university with such a large and diverse student body is the variety of events on campus. Through different registered student organizations, clubs and groups at this school, there are events for people with all interests. Supporting these events is necessary to our individual growth, and it shows appreciation for our fellow classmates. Exploring our curiosities and expanding our interests has always been one of the key aspects of the college experience. Before coming to the University, I was eager to let out my inner James Franco (you know, try as many things as possible and not care about what anyone thinks) and explore a large range of fascinations and activities. We may also find that we are not alone when it comes to certain passions. Growing up in a small town, my options were limited when it came to entertainment. But here, I have been able to see performances by OK Go, Bo Burnham and The Second City. I did not have to drive hours to Chicago or Indianapolis to see these performers; instead, all I had to do was take a short MTD bus ride. In this way, I think attend-
ing campus events is an incredibly beneficial way to explore certain areas that we couldn’t in high school or may have ignored previously. My school certainly did not have a cappella or improv groups. But now, thanks to the University, these are all events that I can easily experience. By being able to attend events that we may not have had access to previously, campus events can help us expand our interests and even change our views on certain subjects. I’m sure most of our high schools had a basketball team or some sort of sports team. I’ve never been a huge basketball fan, and playing basketball has never really been my strong suit. Despite the staggering persona I may emit in my columns, I am actually on the shorter side of the height spectrum. Regardless, I enjoy watching basketball and going to games. I did not realize how being a fan could actually be a team activity until I attended games as a member of the Orange Krush. As someone whose basketball past consisted of mainly sitting on the sidelines and an overall career average of two points, I now have a completely dif-
ferent view of how everyone can be involved in the game. Other events such as Jock Jams, for example, can show us different sides of people we may know. Jock Jams is essentially a variety show starring University athletes. Seeing someone who may be known only by his or her athletic talents sing or exhibit some passion for one of their hobbies can be fascinating and fun. Besides, combining two different worlds like basketball and music can have a really interesting outcome — need I remind you of Lil Bow Wow’s hit 2002 song, “Basketball�? Attending different events on campus can help unify us as a student body. These don’t only include concerts and games, but also plays, religious functions, art exhibits and film screenings. We may be divided by majors, classes or different groups on campus, but going to events can unify us. We find that we are not alone in our interests on such a big campus. In this way, we are better able to connect with other people and meet those with interests similar to ours. This helps us network and make friends on campus as well.
We may be divided by majors, classes or different groups on campus, but going to events can unify us.
Going to All Campus Worship showed me that religion plays a large part in a college environment that is generally thought of as being very secular. Going to different movie showings helped show me that as serious as we can be about school and our work, at the end of the day, most of us just enjoy sitting back and watching Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum do undercover drug busts. After all, we are all college students just trying to make the most of the Illinois experience. Alas, not all of the events I’ve mentioned may be everyone’s cup of tea. For every event we may like, there are definitely ones that we may be hesitant about going to. However, learning that you dislike something can be just as powerful as discovering you love something. By attending different campus gatherings, we’re supporting talents and activities that cannot always be found in the classroom. Supporting these events brings culture to campus. There are so many beneficial aspects to attending different events on campus, from sports games, to religious clubs, to performances at Krannert. It is important that we support campus happenings that can in turn entertain us, inspire us and even enrich our lives.

Curb your appetite at a food truck REBECCA KAPOLNEK Opinions columnist
I
t’s 2:00 a.m., Joe’s just closed, and you have a case of the munchies. Second Story is too far away, Papa D’s has a long line, and there is only so much Antonio’s one can handle. Then you see it, a beacon of hope, parked right outside the Joe’s entrance: The Cracked food truck. Fear not Illini, a different food option is on the rise on campus, satisfying hungry students day and night: Food trucks. Trucks such as Cracked, which serves low-cost breakfast food throughout the day and after hours, and Pandamonium Doughnuts, which serves creative and tasty doughnuts during the day, are parked in random spots on campus. Food trucks are smaller businesses that run on student support since they operate out of a truck and are not based in a sit-in restaurant. Whether it is convenient to grab a doughnut near Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on your way to class or grab a breakfast sandwich after a night at the bars, students should support this unique way to eat on campus
and also expand their palates. With 13 food trucks on campus, there are options for everybody’s different preferences when it comes to going out to eat. Food trucks are an easy and unique way to grab food, and students should make it their goal to try out these hidden gems on campus. They give students an opportunity to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Green Street and explore new foods that they might not have tried before. Most of these food trucks are not chain restaurants, and they are not commonly known around the country, unlike places such as McDonald’s, Panera and Jimmy John’s. One food truck, the Empanada House, which also houses a dine-in restaurant in Urbana on campus, offers a variety of empanadas on their menu, ranging from BBQ pork to spicy chicken — which is much more creative than the average burrito bowl from Chipotle. Trucks like Cracked and
Burrito King also have unique features that draw in customers. Typically, late night food places on campus consist of deep fried foods and pizza. However, food trucks offer a variety of different options. Cracked provides eggs, bacon and hash browns to customers; Burrito King offers grab-and-go burritos and nachos. Unique features like this are why I believe students should make an effort to support the food trucks on campus when they are deciding where to eat. In addition to the variety of choices these food trucks offer, their proximity to hot spots on campus adds to the value of their services. Derald’s CafÊ, a food truck typically parked outside of Krannert, serves as a convenient outlet for hungry students to grab lunch or breakfast before heading to class. This is especially convenient because it is located just off the quad, and it is easily accessible for all students at the University that are always on the go. It is cru-
Food trucks are an easy and unique way to grab food, and students should make it their goal to try these hidden gems on campus.
cial to have options like this on campus because most students do not have the time to run to Green Street or wait in lines at the Union in between classes. The small businesses running some of the local food trucks deserve student support just as much as the corporate restaurants lining Green Street. Food trucks could promote their business more and add more hours late at night around the bars as they empty out, but we should still take advantage of them while they’re open. Cracked, for example, operates 11:00 p.m. — 3:00 a.m. on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays and is usually parked outside of Joe’s, which attracts students who might not want to make the walk down Green Street. Like any business, exposure to the product is key, and if more students had the opportunity to experience the food these trucks have to offer, I believe they would be even more popular than they already are on campus. So when you exit Joe’s at night and are on a mission to find a late night snack, consider venturing out and trying one of the food trucks. After all, breakfast food at 2:00 a.m. is never a bad idea.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD ACROSS
PORTRAIT BY FOLAKE OSIBODU
Q-and-A with Kevin Nam, creator of Taskfriend New website lets users post jobs and get short-term work BY MANISHA VENKAT STAFF WRITER
When Kevin Nam, sophomore in LAS, temporarily left the University after his freshman year, he began laying down the groundwork for a website — Taskfriend. It’s meant to simplify completing tasks and earning a few quick dollars through user friendly navigation, account creation and user-to-user communication. Taskfriend is different from Craigslist in that it shows users the time frame of the task and allows direct communication between the customer and the service provider on the website itself. It also is designed for more immediate tasks than long term requests. Taskfriend verifies the customer’s and service provider’s payment and contact details, and after the task is completed, the transaction is finalized with the payer’s confirmation. Taskfriend is still in its beta form, which means it is in the process of detecting bugs and making necessary amendments to the website. Nam currently runs the website on his own while balancing schoolwork. He hopes to continue developing the website and create its own smartphone app. The Daily Illini spoke to Nam about Taskfriend and its development over the past year.

While this is the first year for the event, Holmes wrote that they hope it will become an annual event in following years, she wrote. After

BREAKFAST performance.� According to a 2012 study sponsored by Kellog’s and Weight Watchers through the nonprofit organization Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign, students who eat breakfast scored an average of 17.5 percent higher on math tests. According to Donovan, there are innumerable breakfast foods to choose from, but the ideal meal to start the day should contain carbohydrates, protein, fat and fiber. The mix in nutrients is important due to the benefits that each food group will provide throughout the day. “The carbohydrates will give you quick energy, but the protein, fat and fiber will sustain you for a longer period of time,� Donovan said. While it can be tempting to just pick up a muffi n or bagel to eat on the run, this isn’t considered to be an adequate fuel source and may cause more harm than good in the long run. “If you only eat carbs, they will trigger a rapid rise in blood glucose and insulin. You will get a rush of energy, but later in the morning your blood glucose can drop and you will feel hungry and have less energy,� Donovan said. Even when in a rush, there are healthy options that can provide sufficient energy for longer periods of time than just carbohydrates. Donovan suggested yogurt, hard-boiled eggs,
The Daily Illini: How would you describe Taskfriend? Kevin Nam: Taskfriend is an open marketplace where there are no limitations on what jobs/services can be offered. And due to the open nature of the website, it can be used anywhere even in small cities such as Champaign. DI: When and why did you start Taskfriend? KN: After freshman year, I quit school because my parents were unemployed. I went on Craigslist and looked for some jobs around the neighborhood, but it was a bad experience. I made the website, and, over the winter, I shoveled snow off of some driveways (using Taskfriend). DI: What kind of services can be posted on Taskfriend? KN: The website is really straightforward. You can create an account and post jobs on it like “Give me a ride to Walmart� or “Deliver Chipotle to me.� DI: How did you get involved in creating and designing websites? KN: I am an economics major, but I did web designing as a hobby and worked on projects occasionally in school.
It was partly a hobby, but it took some online collaboration as well. I did some coding for the website myself but got some help from my friends who do it too. The hardest part was working on the website while attending school. I’m constantly working on it and trying to improve it. DI: TaskRabbit is a service very strikingly similar to Taskfriend. How is your website any different from TaskRabbit? KN: Despite the similarity in name, the two services are very different. TaskRabbit is an ondemand service that hires their workers and are paid hourly through the website, and, when a customer requests a tasks, the website sends a hired person to do the job. The consumers on TaskRabbit can only request four types of tasks: cleaning, handyman, assistance, and moving. Because of this closed nature, it is also only offered in major cities and not smaller cities such as Champaign. Essentially, TaskRabbit is like a company. They hire and fire their workers and are paid hourly to do a job. Taskfriend is a marketplace where users interact with each other to do a job based on a fixed price.

BEARDO students said they were unaware of the food options in the Union and were hesitant to purchase food they hadn’t tried before, the event was created, according to Holmes. The vendors will also offer prizes and games, such as discounted cosmic bowling and glow-in-the-dark prizes from the Rec Room, according to Holmes. “There will be cotton candy, snow cones and, of course, beads — a true carnival atmosphere,� she wrote.

fruit, bagels or an English muffi n, or a smoothie with yogurt. “Try to get a little of each food group. For example, an English muffi n with peanut butter would be a good source of carbs, protein and fat,� she said. When choosing a breakfast, Donovan said it is also important to not get stuck in the mindset of only thinking of breakfast foods, especially for those foods people aren’t interested in. She said cheese or hummus with pita or crackers or even leftovers from the night before can serve as a just as good breakfast. According to Donovan, skipping breakfast can also lead to binging later in the day and packing in unhealthy calories. “Some studies show that people who skip breakfast eat more at lunch, because they are hungrier,� she said. “Spreading your calories throughout the day keeps your blood sugar more stable, which gives you more energy and helps you maintain your muscle mass.� Fortunately for University students, the ChampaignUrbana area is abundant in breakfast restaurants and restaurants that can provide a quality start to the day. Le Peep, located at 2209 S. Neil St., deems itself as a “casual breakfast and lunch chain with a long menu of straightforward American fare and coffee drinks.� Le Peep offers everything from a pancake sandwich or a waffle sandwich to cheeseburgers and fresh salads.
Merry Ann’s diner is a family-owned and operated restaurant with three Merry Ann’s locations surrounding the University. From Neil Street, downtown Champaign, Gregory Place in Urbana and Normal, Ill., Merry Ann’s serves traditional breakfast foods such as hash browns, pancakes, bacon, eggs and French toast. Although some of its options are less-nutritious than other campusbased breakfast providers, McDonalds serves breakfast until 10:30 a.m. and can be an option for a quick inexpensive meal. “I like to get a coffee and two hash browns from McDonald’s on Green Street if I’m in a rush to class,� said Brendan Valyo, freshman in DGS. For those with a University meal plan, Ikenberry dining hall serves breakfast from 7 to 10 a.m., along with other University dining halls. Offering different dishes each day, the dining halls have batter for waffles, an assortment of fresh fruit daily along with many other options. Sarah Seidner, freshman in Engineering, is a selfdescribed Ikenberry breakfast enthusiast and can be seen devouring an early meal daily. “I usually get eggs, a hash brown and a pancake and get a bite of each on the fork,� she said. “It’s delicious.�

8œPs¤ œ8ž Illini Union throws its own party filled with food, dance and beads to celebrate historical French festival BY LILLIAN BARKLEY STAFF WRITER
eads, parades and day drinking are mainstays at Mardi Gras celebrations. From New Orleans to St. Louis, the celebrations of Mardi Gras all have a signature take on the historic French tradition. “It was a great, great weekend, probably one of my favorite weekends I’ve had here so far my senior year,� said Cole Eggenberger, senior in LAS, after traveling to St. Louis on Friday with 10 of her roommates for the weekend to celebrate. “I think my favorite memory from the weekend was kind of just everybody being there. There were so many (University) people there, which I really loved.� Even though St. Louis’ celebration is the second-largest Mardi Gras in the U.S. and took place last weekend, it served as a precursor to the campus celebrations. While the University may be far from the Mississippi River, the Mardi Gras spirit will thrive at the Illini Union on Tuesday. The Illini Union Board is hosting a Mardi Gras celebration event and the Taste of the Union. The Mardi Gras celebration will start at 7 p.m. Tuesday and end at 9 p.m. in the I-Rooms, and the Taste of the Union will be from noon to 2 p.m. in the lower level of the building. “While it is focusing on the education and origin of Mardi Gras, it also is a great entertainment opportunity for students,� said Alexxis Franklin, director of cultural programs for the Illini Union Board and sophomore in AHS. A palm reader and fortune teller will be at the event, as well as the Pacific Islanders dance group. Free Mardi Gras-themed food will also be available, and recipes will be handed out to students who want to make the dish-
What: Taste of the Union & Mardi Gras celebration When: Tuesday, noon to 2 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Where: Illini Union How: Free admission es at home. The event will also incorporate the history of Mardi Gras, which Franklin will be teaching. She has diversity training and personal experience with the celebration. “I grew up from a very diverse background, so Mardi Gras was always celebrated each year in my family,� she said. Franklin said even when she was growing up, she went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans; however, she did not appreciate the history of the event and admitted that she isn’t completely aware of the history behind it. “We kind of just know it kind of for the partying and the fun and the craziness and all that,� Franklin said. The festival has a rich history, dating back to medieval France and the festival of “Boeuf Gras,� meaning “fatted calf,� according to the Mardi Gras New Orleans website. It originated as a feasting holiday before the fast of Lent. Mardi Gras is more known as a drinking holiday, as Eggenberger said, but bourbon and hurricanes will not be available at the Union. The event is an alternative to the Campustown bars, according to Franklin. “I know a lot of universities don’t really take time to make a fun event and educational opportunity as well,� she said. This is her first event as director, and Franklin said she would be at the Taste of the Union to promote it.

Illinois men’s golf team poses on Sunday after winning the Big Ten Match Play Championship as the No. 1 seed.
Illini win championship Men’s golf wins Big Ten Match Play Championship in Florida BY DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER
The No. 1-seeded Illinois men’s golf team went wireto-wire as the conference’s top team, winning the Big Ten Match Play Championship for the second time in three years. This season, its seventh in a row as the tournament’s No. 1 seed, Illinois began with a 3-2 victory Sunday over No. 8-seeded Purdue. Freshman Dylan Meyer started off the scoring, and after one Purdue point, junior Thomas Detry and senior Brian Campbell followed with victories of their own. “The first match is always important and to get a point sends a positive message to the rest of the team,� head coach Mike Small said. With one victory already in hand, the Illini moved on to face Maryland on Monday
morning. Neither the Hammock Beach Resort’s par-72 Conservatory Course, nor the No. 4-seeded Terps were a match for Illinois. Detry, Campbell and freshman Nick Hardy won three straight matches for the Illini, who finished with a 3-2 victory over Maryland. The win against Maryland set the Illini up to face No. 7-seeded Michigan in the championship round. Led by Detry, who picked up a point in every game he played, Illinois pulled away with a 3-2 victory. It all came down to the 18th hole, where Meyer sealed the deal, keeping his one hole lead over Andrew Yeager to give Illinois the match play championship. Small said he was proud of his team for its resiliancy against what he called an
Illini golf at the Big Ten Match Play Championship Summary: The Illini pulled away and won the Match Play Championship for the second time in school history despite poor play from Charlie Danielson, one of the team’s top golfers. Key Performer: Junior Thomas Detry won all his matches in the tournament, going 3-0. Up Next: The Louisiana Classics, March 2-3, Lafayette, Louisiana underrated field. “It was really a total team effort,� Small said. “Great to see some of the guys who struggled early in the week to really help us in the end. The Big Ten is a good golf conference. Just because (the teams) might not have played so well in the fall, doesn’t mean that they can’t now.� The Illini are the only team in the Big Ten ranked in the top 25. Charlie Danielson, the 2014 Les Bolstad Award winner for the Big Ten golfer with the lowest season stroke average, was the only Illini
to fail to get a point in any of the matches. Danielson lost each of his three matches by scores of 4 & 3, 2 & 1, and 1 up, respectively. The Illini now turn to the Louisiana Classics, hosted by Louisiana-Lafayette, which begins March 2. This season will be the 30th edition of the event. “We still have a lot of work to do.� Small said. “We had some good spots this week, but there are lots of things we need to work on if we want to win championships.�

Lamar Cardinal Classic puts baseball’s power, versatility on display
In final stretch, Illinois aims for win at Rutgers
After finishing his sophomore season with 10 saves, pitcher Tyler Jay seemed to think he’d be locked in as the closer for the Illinois baseball team. On Sunday, Jay made his first career start for the Illini, throwing five innings of shutout ball. Jay replaced suspended junior pitcher Kevin Duchene, who didn’t travel with the team to Beaumont, Texas, and who, according to head coach Dan Hartleb, won’t play for the Illini next weekend. Jay struck out four, allowed only a pair of hits and collected the win in Illinois’ 9-3 victory over Lamar. “It’s a luxury to have a guy who bounces back like that,� head coach Dan Hartleb said. “He has the mentality that he can be a closer or a starter, and some guys can’t do that, so to have a guy with that versatility in our program is awesome.� Jay added that when he finishes games as a closer, he often thinks his arm is fresh enough to keep pitching. Hartleb noted that Jay was limited to a pitch count in his start. On Saturday, Jay picked up a oneinning save against New Mexico State in his only other appearance over the weekend.

Before the season, Illinois women’s basketball head coach Matt Bollant’s talking point was the intensity of the practices his team had been going through. It seems that this coaching point has come full circle for the Illini as they prepare for the final four-game stretch of the season, which starts with a trip to Rutgers on Tuesday. “We’re trying to prepare for a really good opponent and bring a level of intensity for 40 minutes in the game,� Bollant said. “You’ve got to practice right to play right, so we’re trying to practice the right way.� Tuesday night’s game at Rutgers will be one of firsts for both sides. With Rutgers in its first season as a member of the Big Ten, the two programs have never faced each other. But Illinois will also look to make it a first of another sort: its first set of back-to-back wins since beating Penn State and Iowa in early January.
“You’ve got to practice right to play right.� MATT BOLLANT
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL HEAD COACH
To make this happen, the coaching staff has decided to put a lot on the players’ shoulders in terms of their leadership positions. Junior point guard Kyley Simmons and freshman center Chatrice White are viewed as the two who need to take charge on the court. “Holding them accountable makes me want to hold myself accountable,� White said. “I know Kyley is going to get after me if I mess up and I’m going to get after
SONNY AN THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Kyley Simmons is one of two players that head coach Matt Bollant expects to take charge on the court in order to win against Rutgers on Tuesday. Neither program has played each other before. her, so I think when we’re holding each other accountable, it makes us fight harder.� Taking the intense practices and on-floor leadership into account, winning at Rutgers will still be a tall task for Illinois. The Scarlet Knights come into the game at No. 19 in the nation and currently sit at third in the Big Ten standings. Rutgers has won seven of its last eight games and has three starters averaging more than 15 points per game. The spread-out scoring attack could create havoc for the Illini, who have been struggling with depth all season. “They’re about as good of an offensive rebounding team as there is in the country, so we’ve got to keep them off the offensive glass,� Bollant said. “Dribble penetration leads to offensive rebounding so it starts with guarding the dribble.� Although the matchup is a tough one for Illinois, looking back at its
most recent action on the hardwood could serve as a sort of blueprint for Bollant’s squad. In the win at home over Ohio State on Saturday, Illinois forced more turnovers than it committed, out-rebounded the Buckeyes and had four of their players reach double-digit points. While obviously a hard group of tasks to accomplish in two straight games, it might be exactly what the Illini need to pull off an upset on the road. But for Simmons, things are simpler than the stats. Pushing through the high intensity practices and taking on even more of a leadership role seem to have a greater purpose for the point guard. “I just want to win, so whatever’s going to make us win then that’s what I want to do,� Simmons said with a smile.

Kravetz moves up the charts Senior starter John Kravetz tossed seven hitless innings Saturday afternoon against Lamar, picking up a win in his season debut and moving to a tie for eighth on Illinois’ all-time win list. Kravetz’s career record stands at 20-7, 10 wins shy of Andy Dickinson and Mark Dressen’s school-record 30 career wins. Kravetz went 6-1 last season and was named to the All-Big Ten second team. His single-season high for wins is eight, the number he won his freshman year. He retired the first 11 Cardinals, not allowing a base runner until the fourth inning. “I had a few quick innings to start off,� Kravetz said. “The 3-0 lead felt like 10-0. It’s not always going to be like that, but Saturday it was.� Kravetz was the first Illini starting pitcher to pick up a win this sea-
son after Illinois needed late-game comebacks to beat New Mexico State in its opening pair of games. Despite not getting credit for the win, game two starter Rob McDonnell was named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week after throwing 10 strikeouts in seven shutout inning.

Sophomore Ryne Roper went 0-for-5 in Friday’s season opener but rattled off three hits Saturday morning against New Mexico State. His day included a twoout, two-run single that put the Illini ahead for good in the eighth inning. Ryne fi nished the weekend with six hits, starting all four games for the Illini at third base. Older brother Reid proved to be Illinois’ most versatile player this weekend, collecting seven hits and seven RBIs, while also throwing an inning of scoreless relief in the Illini’s Friday win. “The fact that we came from behind to win that game was exciting,� Reid said. “To go in there and close it out was pretty cool.� Reid appeared in six games as a reliever for the Illini last season, notching one save and striking out eight, while not giving up a single run. Hartleb said down the road he expects Ryne, who was a pitcher in high school, to fi ll the reliever role that Reid occupies.

Illini lose opener, split series versus Bobcats BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois hockey team came into Athens, Ohio, with hopes of a sweep over the weekend. That notion ended shortly into the first period of Friday’s game. Head coach Nick Fabbrini has stressed the importance of getting off to a strong start, which Illinois has struggled with during the season. After their first goal, the Bobcats of Ohio University scored two shorthanded goals, one off a breakaway and another off a slap shot from the blue line, which put the Illini behind 3-0. Fabbrini said the team was embarrassed with the play early in the period. However, he was happy to see the Illini contain Ohio for the rest of the game and only surrender one more goal the rest of the way. “We didn’t really give ourselves much of a chance to win, but after that, it was a 1-0 game,” Fabbrini said. “It was pretty much the worst start we could have had to the weekend.”
Rink size affected the team’s play One aspect that the Illini had trouble adjusting to was the size of Ohio’s rink. Forwards Eric Saulters
and Jacob Matysiak admitted that there is an adjustment period whenever they play at Ohio because of how much smaller the rink is. While the Illinois Ice Arena has a rink that is larger than normal, Bird Arena is actually smaller than typical regulation size. As a result, Saulters said the game was more physical and mistakes were harder to overcome. Matysiak added that after the first period Friday, the team got used to playing on the rink and came away with a victory Saturday. “It did affect us because it was a much quicker game,” Matysiak said. “Even for guys who have played there for three years, it is hard to prepare yourself for that rink. That is what makes Ohio so tough to play at, and that’s why it was such a huge win on Saturday.”
Illinois overcomes road woes in Saturday win Despite Friday’s loss, Fabbrini and the players considered this weekend to be a success because of how difficult it is to win on the road against Ohio. Matysiak said Saturday’s 3-2 shootout win was a momentum swing in the Illini’s favor heading into

Illinois’ Jacob Matysiak attempts to control the puck during the hockey game vs. Robert Morris on Jan. 24. The Illini got off to an icy start on Friday due to the Bobcats’ smaller rink. “It did affect us because it was a much quicker game,” Matysiak said. the Central States Collegiate Hockey League tournament this weekend at the Illinois Ice Arena. It proved to him that Illinois can compete with all the teams in the league and defeat every team in the division. Fabbrini believes Friday’s loss will be a good wake-up call for its preparation in road games. Even
though the division games will be at home, the national tournament will be on the road and Illinois can’t take so long to adjust to a new environment. “On the road, you have to prepare differently than you do at home,” Fabbrini said. “You aren’t sleeping in your own bed and your routine is not the same as
what you would do on a home gameday. We are kind of a young team, so I think we are still learning that lesson of how important it is to prepare mentally for a game.”

Illinois softball faces inconsistency in the circle BY LAUREN MROZ STAFF WRITER
During its second weekend of play, the Illinois softball pitching staff continued its struggles in the circle but showed signs of improvement in its final two games. In the Illini’s first of five games over the weekend, senior pitcher Shelese Arnold hurled a strong first three innings before giving up five late-inning runs to UT-Martin. Jade Vecvanags entered the game in the final frame and earned her first loss of the season after a UTM walk-off single. Although she only allowed three hits in her three innings pitched, Vecvana-
gs gave up three runs during Illinois’ second game on Friday against Mississippi State, which she started. Sophomore Breanna Wonderly finished the game and was given the loss after giving up six runs in the Illini’s comeback attempt. In the Illini’s first game Saturday, Wonderly only gave up one run in her five innings pitched against Louisiana Tech. But Arnold took over for the final two innings and gave up a game-winning two-run homer. Arnold did bounce back to pitch two complete games in the weekend’s remaining matchups. Although Arnold allowed four earned runs, the Illi-
ni picked up six of their own against Lamar, giving Arnold her first win of the year. In the Illini’s final game of the February Freezer, Arnold allowed Mississippi State just two earned runs despite nine hits and four walks, turning in seven strikeouts. Combined, the three Illini pitchers gave up 24 runs mostly in the late innings of their five games, in addition to 16 walks and 17 strikeouts.
Clutch hitting woes Though remaining consistent with the hitting success of its opponents, Illinois
struggled to take advantage of runners in scoring position over the weekend. Despite a four-run seventh inning in Friday’s 9-8 loss to Mississippi State, Illinois couldn’t convert the late comeback. This was one of three straight onerun losses for the Illini. Illinois continued its clutch hitting slump against Louisiana Tech on Saturday. Although the Illini out-hit the Lady Techsters, 8-6, Illinois left five runners in scoring position, contributing to another one-run loss. In its final two games of the weekend, Illinois led early and was consistent in the circle, which led to
the team’s second and third wins of the season.
One-run games All five of the Illini’s games over the weekend came down to one run. Only the final two ended in the Illini’s favor. Head coach Terri Sullivan said that win or lose, these close games early in the season may prove beneficial to her team. “As you get deeper into your season, you want to know that you can win those one-run games,” Sullivan said. “It says a lot about a team to be able to pull out games like that. We just need to keep moving for-
ward and bring out our best games for every game.” Sophomore shortstop Ruby Rivera stressed the importance of each play in each game and the impact that the slightest loss of focus can have on the outcome of a game. “We have to stay on top of our games,” Rivera said. “We were so close in all five of these games. One hit can lose a game. Everyone has a role on this team, and we all believe that we can always fulfill our roles.”

All-Star Weekend no longer Heat showcase BY SHANDEL RICHARDSON TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
The NBA All-Star Weekend might as well have been a showcase for the organization. The previous four seasons featured at least three Heat All-Stars. In 2013, Erik Spoelstra was the coach of the Eastern Conference team. Norris Cole, Mario Chalmers and James Jones participated in the All-Star Saturday Night portion of the event. How t h i ngs h ave
“We continue to honor the past, by passing the torch.” DWAYNE WADE MIAMI HEAT
changed. The Heat were represented by just forward Chris Bosh in Sunday’s game at Madison Square Garden. The West defeated the East 163-158 behind MVP Russell Westbrook’s 41 points. The game was a reunion for Bosh, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James — often referred to as The Big Three — but it was hardly the same. Wade, who was chosen as a reserve, pulled out of the game so he could rest his ailing hamstrings. The remainder of the season is the priority, not a meaningless exhibition. Wade made just one appearance at media day before turning the weekend into opportunity for charity work, including opening a learning lounge at a Brooklyn high school. His only presence during the game came in the first quarter when
he addressed the crowd to introduce some NBA Legends. The list included George M ika n, M agic Joh nson, Bob Cousy and Wilt Chamberlain. “We continue to honor the past, by passing the torch,” Wade said. In a sense, the Heat have passed the torch to the rest of the conference. After four straight NBA Finals appearances, they are hanging onto the eighth and final playoff spot in the East. James, meanwhile, is in position to play in the Finals for a fifth consecutive time. His new team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, took over as the league’s most scrutinized team. The breakup left Bosh, who finished with 10 points on 4 of 6 shooting, alone during the mid-season event. In this past, this was about the Heat flexing their star power. The trio was the main attraction of an event full of stars. Part of the reason Wade, who could have used the time to rehab in Miami, made the trip was so he could support Bosh as the Heat’s lone

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook winds up to dunk over Sacramento Kings guard Ben McLemore during the first quarter on Jan. 7 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif. comments in the media. This was the first time he and James were teammates since Game 5 of last year’s NBA Finals. The two seemed past their supposed feud that spawned last summer when James decided to leave Miami for Cleveland. Bosh created a stir last October when he said he no longer talked with James. It was viewed as Bosh being upset by James’ departure,
especially because poor timing left the Heat scrambling during free agency. Two months later, Bosh said his comments “were taken out proportion.” The two indeed remain friends and displayed it during Sunday’s game. Before tip- off, they interacted and Bosh went out of his way to shake hands with James after a timeout. It even looked
like old times when James found Bosh for a 3-pointer off a pick-and-roll in the third quarter. “I don’t think we’re that far removed,” Bosh said. “It’s only been a few months.” Celebrating his 10th AllStar selection took precedence over any alleged bad blood. “The game? I’m just happy to be here,” Bosh said.
“I’m just happy to be here.” If anything, the experience provided a flashback to the early portion of his career. Playing in New York had him thinking back to his days with the Toronto Raptors. “It’s cold,” Bosh said. “It’s bringing back some memories of me living in the winter. It’s refreshing my memory quite a bit. Everything is going great.”

Mailbag: sports movies and Sayers SAM SHERMAN Sports Columnist
E
liot asks: Can there be another great sports movie, or have we done it in every way possible? We’ve seen just about every kind of sports movie imaginable. We’ve seen stories of triumph (“Miracle”), stories about defying the odds, but still losing (most of the “Rocky” movies) and just about every variation of a high school/college/ pro football movie: “Friday Night Lights,” “Remember the Titans,” “Any Given Sunday,” “Rudy,” “The Blind Side,” “We Are Marshall,” “The Longest Yard”. I could go on, but you get the idea. Name a sport, and there are numerous movies about it. We’ve seen a movie about aliens challenging Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes to a basketball game (“Space Jam”). So yeah, we’ve just about seen it all. I don’t think we’ll see anything original in the world of sports movies, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see anything great. Look at “Foxcatcher,” for example. A friend of mine didn’t think I should talk about it, because he didn’t
think it was a “traditional” sports movie. I would beg to differ. Just because there aren’t clichés and inspirational messages at the end, doesn’t mean it’s not a sports movie. Foxcatcher was a fantastic film that told a true story against the backdrop of wrestling. We will continue to get the cheesy, clichéridden films such as last year’s “When the Game Stands Tall,” which I didn’t see, simply because of the lame title. I saw 2014’s boxing movie Grudge Match, just so you guys didn’t have to. Tip: never go into a movie thinking, “Hey, I have liked Robert De Niro and Sly Stallone in things, so that must mean I’ll like them in this thing.” It was terrible. I couldn’t even laugh at how bad it was. The whole time I was just angry with the two actors and their career decisions over the past, oh I don’t know, two decades. There are a lot more bad sports movies than there are great ones, but that goes for all movies. I just checked the movies playing at my local theater; there might be just one that qualifies as “great.” (American Sniper) I mean, I don’t know, maybe you really loved “The SpongeBob Movie:
Sponge Out of Water.” So yes, I do believe that there’ll be another great sports movie. It won’t necessarily be an original idea or premise, but as “Foxcatcher” showed us last year, sports movies can still be great. John asks: Do Bears fans still care about Gale Sayers? I sure as heck hope Bears fans still care about Gale Sayers. Needless to say, I didn’t watch Gale Sayers when he played. I was negative 22 years old the last time Gale Sayers suited up. Growing up, my dad always told me that Gale Sayers was the most exciting football player he ever watched. That surprised me, considering a guy by the name of Walter Payton also played for the Bears at the same position. It honestly wasn’t until I sat down with my dad and watched the NFL-produced “A Football Life” about Sayers and Dick Butkus that I realized how amazing Sayers was. First of all, if you haven’t seen that episode of “A Football Life,” I highly recommend you watch it immediately. I only know Sayers from what my dad has said and from watching old highlights on YouTube, but he was unreal. In my opinion, he changed the running back position forever.
ANTHONY SOUFFLE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Chicago Bears fans still care about former running back Gale Sayers, according to sports columnist Sam Sherman. Sayers is profiled in the NFL-produced documentary series “A Football Life.” Football fans my age watch players like LeSean McCoy and Jamaal Charles, but nobody, past or present, runs like Sayers did. It’s actually pretty funny to watch defenders try and catch him. He saw the field in ways that no other running back had before. Sayers was one of those players who transcended the sport he played. His career was cut
short after tearing multiple ligaments in his right knee. Sports medicine wasn’t as advanced then as it is today, and doctors couldn’t fully repair the injury. After a long rehab, and lacking his once elite speed, Sayers returned to the field the following season and rushed for over 1,000 yards using just his vision and instincts. Further injuries finally forced
him to leave football in 1971. He only played for seven seasons and is in the NFL Hall of Fame. If you call yourself a Bears fan, and don’t think you care about Sayers, go to YouTube right now and watch his highlights. You won’t be disappointed.

Kansas forward shaped by childhood in Japan
Stoudemire cut loose, seeks out playoff title
BY RUSTIN DODD
Amar’e Stoudemire is an exKnick now. Stoudemire was bought out and waived by the Knicks on Monday, as expected. “Amar’e’s period as a Knickerbocker has come to pass, at his request. His time here should be marked by recognizing his effort — it was 100-percent,” team president Phil Jackson said. “As we move forward in structuring this team, we will look for players that exhibit his desire to win.” Stoudemire asked for a buyout so he could join a team contending for the playoffs. He’s expected to be pursued by the Mavericks and Clippers, among other teams once he clears waivers. The Knicks are an NBA-worst 10-43 and rebuilding. He ended what his Knicks’ career averaging 17.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in 255 games. “I feel truly blessed to have been able to play for the incredible New York fans, Mr. Dolan, my coaches, teammates and the entire Knicks organization for the past five years,” Stoudemire said. “I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to contribute positively on the court and in the community. “Although I leave the Knicks with a heavy heart, I wish the organization the best of luck. Once a Knick always a Knick.” Stoudemire’s time with the Knicks began with such promise after he signed a five-year, $100-million contract. He was an MVP candidate the first half of the 2010-11 season, and was a part of three playoff teams with the Knicks. But he and the Knicks never reached their full potential or expectations in part because of Stoudemire’s health. He missed 110 games over the past 4 seasons. “Everyone here at the Knicks organization appreciates the contribution Amar’e has made to the team and the entire City of New York over the past five seasons,” Knicks general manager Steve Mills said. “We have developed a relationship that has translated into a long-term friendship, and it will continue through the remainder of his NBA career, and beyond.”

They lived in a Japanese town called Fukui, the days passing in a cozy little home that one might describe as a traditional Uchi — the native word for house. There were paper-thin walls and no central heating. There was an American son who would remove his shoes before entering. There was a single mother, shepherding her preteen child before the real world — basketball, high school and college decisions — beckoned back home in Portland, Ore. On cold winter nights, as darkness fell in Fukui, Shelley and Landen Lucas would bundle up in sweats, layering on the clothes before they crawled under the covers to go to bed. Nearly a decade later, Shelley Lucas concedes that this was probably not the most normal thing for an American family to do. What kind of mother uproots her 11-year-old son, sells nearly everything, finds a job in a coastal Japanese town, and spends a year immersed in a foreign culture? Oftentimes, Shelley said, the townspeople in Fukui were the most curious of all. Why were these Americans suddenly living in this relatively remote part of the country? This question came all the time. In the weeks after they arrived in Japan, for instance, Shelley took her son to enroll in the local public school. Landen was entering the sixth grade, and Shelley wanted her son to experience a typical Japanese education. “The headmaster of the school really thought I was crazy,” Shelley said. “She just looked at me, like: ‘What are you doing?’ “ In moments like these, Shelley would simply smile and try to remain as polite and respectful as possible. Then she would instruct her 11-year-old son to explain the particulars. Landen would explain that he spent the first four years of his life in Japan, while his father, Richard, played professional basketball in Tokyo. He would explain that, after moving back to Portland, Shelley and Richard had enrolled him in a Japanese language elementary school. And he would explain why they had come back, choosing this small town located just off the Sea of Japan. “He was the one that was fluent in Japanese,” Shelley said. “And, yes, he got admitted to the school.” *** On a late evening in early February, Shelley Lucas is on the telephone. She is talking about her family’s time in Japan, and how it shaped her son — how those nights in Fukui left a lasting imprint. But before we go forward, Shelley admits that there was one other reason for choosing to take Landen to Japan during his sixth-grade year. Part of it was basketball. “I knew that there was a chance he’d get pretty serious about basketball as he got older,” Shelley said. “So I figured: If we were

going to go back to Japan, we should do it before he got to high school.” In this case, her maternal instincts were correct. A decade after spending a year in Fukui, Landen Lucas is now a redshirt sophomore at Kansas, a blue-collar forward on a top-10 team. Lucas is averaging just 2.4 points and 11.4 minutes per game, earning sporadic playing time as the Jayhawks steamroll toward an 11th straight Big 12 championship. For now, Lucas’ on-court impact has been limited. But it’s safe to say that few college big men come as worldly as Lucas. How many big men played their sixth-grade season in a place like Fukui, leading his school team to a regional championship while growing six inches in one year? How many future college players worked on their game in unheated Japanese gyms, taking piano lessons on the side because the team manager in Fukui insisted that each player learn a musical instrument? How American kids, period, spent their childhood trying to master three different Japanese alphabets — kanji, hiragana, katakana — in a classroom full of Japanese faces? “He was a full-fledged Japanese public school student,” Shelley said. In some ways, Landen says, it felt natural. Japanese was his first language, the one he was exposed to most as an infant. He dreamed in Japanese. He watched cartoons in Japanese. He learned about the world in Japanese. While the family was still living in Tokyo in the mid 1990s — during Richard’s
four-year stay in the Japanese pro ranks — Richard and Shelley took a young Landen to a local park. Before long, he began playing with a group of other children. “You could hear him saying words in Japanese,” Richard said. “He was already learning the language.” *** Richard Lucas never wanted his son to feel pressured into playing basketball. This is something many parents say, of course. It’s something that Richard and Shelley truly felt. Richard had been a standout at Oregon from 1987-91 — a hyperathletic big man who always played larger than his 6-foot7 frame. After college, he had played professionally in Europe and Japan before taking on a brief coaching career. Perhaps Landen would someday choose basketball, Richard thought, but it would always be his decision. So Richard and Shelley — who would split up after the family moved back to Portland — agreed to sign up Landen for everything: Baseball, roller hockey, track, soccer, basically anything with a ball or stick. They also found a rare school in Portland that offered a Japanese-only education. In certain ways, Shelley says, the school was an easy decision. Landen had a solid base of Japanese while living his first four years in Tokyo, and Shelley wanted to make sure he didn’t lose it. “For me, that’s almost all I knew,” Landen said. “It was first my language, so coming back (to Portland), it kind of felt natural to me.” ***
Landen Lucas still removes his shoes when he enters his on-campus apartment at the Jayhawker Towers. Of all the customs he learned in Japan, this is one he rarely forgets. There are others, though. In the Japanese language, there is a saying — “Ganbatte” — that roughly translates in English to “Do your best.” Landen wants to make it clear that the American work ethic is not so different than the one he learned in Japan. But there is something different about observing it in another culture — the way his Japanese teammates spent so many hours in the basketball gym; the way his classmates would lug around backpacks with so many large books that it looked as if the bags could have belonged to a graduate student. “They always kind of live by the motto of always trying hard,” Landen said. “That’s something that we do in America, too, but they really emphasize it. Growing up in school and stuff, you always see everybody give it their all and maximize their full potential in whatever they do.”In a few minutes, KU strength coach Andrea Hudy will bark out some instructions and Lucas will be sweating with the rest of his teammates. The instructions will be in English, and he might as well be a million miles away from Fukui. But on certain days, in certain moments, the lessons and memories — Ganbatte! — don’t feel so far away. “Whenever you get a chance to experience a different culture,” Landen said, “you get a chance to appreciate the things that we have here.”

Yankees to honor Pettitte and Posada’s No. 20 would be retired and that the trio also would be honored with plaques, as will Randolph. Williams played his entire 16-year Major League career with the Yankees from 1991 to 2006 and is the team’s all-time postseason leader in home runs (22) and RBI (80). According to the Yankees, he will be celebrated on May 24 before the Yankees’ 8:05 p.m. game against the Rangers. Randolph, who spent 13 seasons with the Yankees from 1976-88, will see his plaque unveiled as part of the Old-Timers’ Day festivities on June 20 prior to the game against the Tigers.

BY ERIK BOLAND TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
News broke Sunday night on Twitter that New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte’s number will be retired this summer and he will receive a plaque in Monument Park. The news was broken by one of Pettitte’s sons Josh, and may have upset Yankees officials who had their own announcement, which came Monday; it stated that Pettitte would be honored this summer, as well as Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada and Willie Randolph. The club announced late Monday afternoon Pettitte’s No. 46, Williams’ No. 51
World Series winner in his 17 seasons with the Yankees from 1995 to 2011, will be recognized Aug. 22 before the game against the Indians. Pettitte, also a five-time World Series winner with the Yankees and 219-127 in 15 total seasons with the club before retiring after the 2013 season, will be recognized on the Aug. 23 against Cleveland. This year’s ceremonies will give the Yankees 19 retired uniform numbers (honoring 20 players and managers) and 29 total plaques in Monument Park (there also are seven monuments). Joe Torre, Goose Gossage,
Tino Martinez and Paul O’Neill all received plaques in 2014. While the Pettitte news was received with nearly universal praise, certainly among Yankee fans with whom he remains wildly popular, one former teammate did not seem to share in the joy. “Congrats to 46,� Chuck Knoblauch tweeted late Sunday night. “Yankees retiring his number. Hopefully they don’t retire it like his HGH testimony.� Pettitte and Knoblauch, Yankee teammates from 1998 to 2001, were both mentioned in Sen. George Mitchell’s 2007 report on PED use

Pettitte waits to be removed after giving up seven runs to the Chicago White Sox on August 5, 2013. It was announced Sunday that the Yankees will be retiring Pettitte’s number. in baseball and both eventually admitted their use of HGH to congressional investigators. Josh Pettitte seemed to respond to Knoblauch on Monday afternoon, though
it wasn’t clear that was his intent, tweeting: “If you know my father he’s the most classy man and so deserving of this! Thanks to all the people who are supporting him and my family.�
