Black activists call for more UI diversity University in 1968. Miller said this data shows a need for a more welcoming balance in racial diversity. The activists feel Wise is not fulfilling her duties as chancellor and should increase efforts to help the local African-American community seek opportunities at the University. “The University is very innovative to bring the brightest minds together,” said Robin Kaler, University spokeswoman. “To say that we’re not doing that (trying to increase diversity at the University) is inaccurate.” Townsend and Miller also discussed the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center, its “deplorable conditions,” and the lack of proper safety evaluations for the center. “Soon we won’t have a need for an African-American studies or African American Cultural Center because we won’t have any African-American students,” Townsend said. The conference wasn’t just about diversity, or the lack

Students, staff support south route Ballot to vote on new bus options BY CHARLOTTE COLLINS STAFF WRITER
C l i n ic a l pr ofe s s or Michael Biehl said he constantly has students come to his class late because of the far distance of the College of Veterinary Medicine from the Main Quad. A typical ChampaignUrbana Mass Transit District bus makes more than a few stops throughout campus and short delays, traffic jams or changed routes can add up by the time students reach the final stop: the College of Veterinary Medicine. The Illinois Student Senate is trying to give students more traveling options. The student senate passed a resolution at its Feb. 18 meeting, adding two questions onto the spring student referendum. The first question aims to renew CUMTD’s service until 2018. Students would pay a $2 increase in their student fees, increasing $1 in the 2016-2017 academic year and $1 in 2017-2018. The second question aims to improve service to the College of Veterinary Medicine, Florida Avenue Residence Hall and Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Hall by splitting the 13 Silver bus line to offer a more direct route. Biehl spoke during public comment, stating a line created specifically with VetMed students in mind could help expedite travel and help keep the buses from being as crowded. “We have worked with MTD very closely and they’ve tried, but they’ve done about all they can do,”

Junior in political science with a minor in informatics and a concentration in economics • Vision: for the University to increase program optimization and for the proposed college of medicine to become a reality • On budget cuts: the University could “streamline operations at the administrative level” and focus on redistribution of funding • On tuition: “I think if we’re able to get more MAP grants from the state, more Pell grants from the federal level, we’ll be able to allocate that financial aid provided for needbased students ... I think it’s romantic to think that tuition would be able to freeze without affecting the quality of education and research opportunities here.”
OPINIONS
Junior in political science with a pre-law focus • Vision: for the University system to better collaborate between the three campuses • On budget cuts: the University needs to look at where funding goes across the board and ensure that taxpayer dollars are going to the right places • On tuition: “If (tuition) continues to increase, we won’t be able to make it accessible for middle-class families. I myself mentioned that I’m a first-generation college student, so coming here wasn’t an easy thing… I’m happy about tuition freeze, and I think it needs to be freezed for ten years, and, quite frankly, I think it should be lowered.”

Terry Townsend and Martel Miller are tired of not being heard. The black Champaign activists recently went public with a letter addressed to the Board of Trustees, requesting that Chancellor Phyllis Wise’s employment contract not be renewed. On Friday, the pair expressed their disappointment in how Wise has handled issues related to African-Americans on campus and in the community. Townsend and Miller discussed the issues at a 4 p.m. press conference held in the University YMCA’s Latzer Hall. In their letter, Miller and alumnus Townsend examined the demographics of the University. According to the Division of Management Information, 4.8 percent of all University students are African-American, whereas 22.38 percent are international students. This year’s freshmen class had 356 African-Americans students, which is less than when Project 500 was enforced at the

Illinois' head coach Matt Buchi talks with his players during a time-out at the wheelchair basketball game vs. Missouri at the ARC on Feb. 13. Illinois heads to postseason after wrapping up regular season play this weekend.
Wheelchair basketball ends regular season BY PETER ROMANCHUK CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Illinois men’s and women’s wheelchair basketball teams had faced all this weekend’s opponents before, but couldn’t convert that familiarity into more than a single win each. Wisconsin-Whitewater, defending national champion in men’s and women’s wheelchair basketball, highlighted the tournament, which was held at the Foster Auditorium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Both Illinois teams fi nished the weekend 1-2. The men’s lone victory came against Alabama, and the women’s victory came against Wisconsin-Whitewater. Men’s head coach Matt Buchi remained optimistic about the team’s season. “We have the skill, the personnel, and the physical conditioning to bring home a national championship,� Buchi said in an email. “It will all come down to mental toughness.� The men began tournament play with a tough 57-56 loss against Wisconsin-Whitewater on Friday. Toward the end of the game, with the teams separated by a single point, the men tried to steal a win in the dying moments. “We held our own defensively, and had an opportunity to win it at the end,� Buchi said. “We ran a unpracticed sideline play that didn’t work out.�

DIVERSITY thereof, at the University. The advocates shed light on another issue: the no trespass notices given to members of the community, specifically African-Americans, when they venture into University property. Their letter included the number of no trespass notices given out by race, with African-Americans receiving the most. “We’re tired!� Miller said. “If we have this University right across the street from our community, but we can’t access it — it’s a problem.� Townsend told a story about young men who were stopped by University police while playing basketball in the Ikenberry Commons outdoor basketball court. Upon realizing that the men were not University students and didn’t have a sponsor, the men were given no trespass notices, which last for one year. If an individual
Tournament play continued Saturday for the men against Texas-Arlington. The Mavericks capitalized on the Illini’s offensive and defensive mistakes on their way to a 67-52 victory. Following the losses, Buchi implored his team to refocus its energy and commit to the system, despite the frustration of back-toback defeats. “After the close loss and then failure to execute the game plan, we made it a goal to stick to the plan of offensive reads and committing to defensive matches,� Buchi said. “As a result, we played like a championship team (in the third game against Alabama).� Heeding Buchi’s advice, the Illinois men ended the weekend on a high note with a 16-point win over Alabama. The key component of the victory was the Illini’s cagey defense — it held the Crimson Tide to a meager 40 points and propelled Illinois to a 56-40 win. The Illinois women’s team was also in action against Wisconsin-Whitewater on Friday. The game was a defensive battle, with each squad reluctant to surrender any ground to its opponent. In the closing moments, the Illini pulled away, fi nishing off the Warhawks 46-34. Saturday brought about two new challenges for head coach Stephanie Wheeler’s team. Up first was a matchup against Texas-Arlington. The Illini struggled
throughout the game with their focus and execution, losing 58-43. Wheeler was not one to mince words following her team’s defeat. “I think the loss against UTA was probably one of the worst games we had all season,� Wheeler said. Next on the schedule for the Illinois women was Alabama. Hoping to erase the memory of their previous performance, the Illini brought a renewed intensity to the court. They matched Alabama’s execution and focus throughout the game, leaving Wheeler pleased despite the 62-57 loss. “It was an up-and-down weekend, and we had some different things thrown our way that could’ve been distractions,� Wheeler said. “We did a really nice job of bouncing back from those things. I think our game against Alabama was the best game we played all season.� Both the men’s and women’s teams now turn their respective attentions to the NIWBT national championships at Missouri next week. Buchi and Wheeler plan on using the final week of practice to fine-tune their teams’ game plans. “Our half-court defense and our full-court pressing defense (is what we are going to focus on in practice),� Wheeler said. “Our offense is going to find a way to score points, but defense is where we can make our biggest improvements.�
breaks the notice, they will be arrested. The Ikenberry Commons is a space on campus that is designated only for students, but Miller and Townsend said they do not understand why a public university is not accessible to taxpayers. Townsend and Miller also gave specific examples of how the University is inaccessible to the Champaign community. To use the Activities and Recreation Center, non-students and non-faculty members must be accompanied by a sponsor — someone who is affiliated with the University. Mitch Dickey, student body president and junior in LAS, didn’t agree with everything at the conference, although he said he understood where the activists were coming from. “We’re starting to rally people on the issue of underrepresented minority students that are on this campus and their admission rate, and we are trying to rally peo-
ple on the cost of education and how it’s prohibiting most people from the state from even coming here,� Dickey said. Kaler discussed the scholarship programs, such as the President’s Award Program and Illinois Promise, the University has for underrepresented groups. She said they have found the main reason that underrepresented students say they choose not to attend the University is due to financial reasons. Event attendees and the activists themselves attested to the fi nancial strain the University has on families and students. However, Miller and Townsend feel the lack of African-American students contributes to a deeper problem. “If they could bring the African American enrollment numbers up with Project 500, they can do it now,� Miller said. Miller and Townsend also criticized the low percentage of black faculty, who make

Despite the varying opinions, topics and voices that occupied the room, many were unified on making the University a better and more representative place. Townsend and Miller are currently waiting for a response to their letter, and in the mean time challenge students, faculty and community members to speak up about injustices within the University and community.

“I can’t believe he did this to me,� Maria Caleel told police respondents right before she lost consciousness. In the early hours of March 6, 1988, Caleel was stabbed in the abdomen inside her apartment. Urbana Police scoured the scene, but couldn’t find any evidence pointing to a suspect, a motive or the weapon used. The Urbana Police Department and a private detective hired by Caleel’s family have continued to investigate who killed her, but incriminating evidence was never found. Throughout the years, police have received tips and leads, despite the aging of the case. Now 27 years later, the police are still hard at work to find the killer using new technology to help solve the case. Police are using updated DNA tests in hopes of finding a match to a suspect in the database system. “Three years ago, we resubmitted some stuff on the premise of DNA testing is better,� said Urbana Police Sgt. Dan Morgan, the lead detective on the case. “We did it again this time with an eye toward a specific source and a specific location, trying to zero in on where we would most likely find what we’re looking for.� Caleel was a first-year veterinarian student at the University. She previously attended Brown University. The police haven’t revealed this information until now because they needed to get DNA from potential suspects. Some people complied with the authorities, but most other DNA samples had to be taken secretly, Morgan said. “The process for the last few years then is that we’re going back and getting DNA samples from a pretty lengthy list of more or less probable suspects of vari-

ous levels of interest, and so we started from that,� Morgan said. “We haven’t said anything about the fact that there has been DNA for several years because we wanted to collect DNA from people, and we are going to continue to do that.� Forensic DNA tests, also known as profiling, take the DNA found at a crime scene or on the victim and compare it to the DNA of suspects. Although the police aren’t disclosing where the DNA was found, Morgan said the DNA profile the lab turned over could be linked to the suspects. A DNA profile contains a small set of DNA variations that are likely to be different in unrelated individuals. Although 99.9 percent of DNA is the same in all humans, there is enough different DNA to distinguish one person from the next. Profiling uses repetitive sequences that are highly variable, making it almost impossible for unrelated people to have the same repeating sequence. Police believe this test could be the one piece of evidence that uncovers Caleel’s killer. “For now, everything is in the realm of possibility,� Morgan said. “Any information that comes in, we’re going to follow up on it — an amazing amount for something so old has come in.�

She said she hopes the event can help inspire young girls to become more involved in scientific fields. “They do things that is stereotypical for men, and I am hoping that the younger kids can see that just because you are a girl doesn’t mean you can’t do something,� Josek said.

‘Inclusive’ title needs to be earned THOMAS DOWLING Opinions columnist
L
ast Tuesday, as I sat down at my desk preparing for a long night of homework, my phone buzzed. It was about 6 p.m., and my calendar was alerting me that my IConnect workshop was starting in 30 minutes. All first-year University students are required to attend IConnect in an effort to create a “more informed campus community.� Most required school events are tedious affairs that always feel like a waste of time to me, but I didn’t think this one would be that bad. After arriving at my workshop and taking a seat, I looked around. The diversity of students in the room was impressive. And during the workshop, be it religion, ability, race, ethnicity or national origin, everyone brought a unique experience and perspective to the table. But despite everyone’s apparent differences, every participant shared one thing: Each one of us had the same glossy-eyed look that you would see in a sleepy, late-afternoon lecture. Not a single participant looked like they wanted to be there. Despite the workshop leader’s efforts, that attitude never left the room. I don’t think the University does a good job creating effective programs to address the issue of diversity on campus. Instead, IConnect should be replaced with a professionally led program, not a student-led discussion. The University prides itself on being inclusive. In fact, we have an entire website dedicated to being an “Inclusive Illinois,� which outlines all of the programs and efforts that the University puts into fostering an inclusive environment. It has a wide variety of programs including speakers, social media campaigns and campus resources. According to the Inclusive Illinois website, IConnect is one of the most important aspects of the inclusive effort. The point of the workshop is creating “an innovative workshop that explores some of the foundational skills needed to collaborate, learn, and work in diverse environments during your years at Illinois and beyond.� Although it is not explicitly stated, the program focuses on teaching students how to grapple with the challenges of prejudice and identity. I wholeheartedly agree with the intention. It is incredibly important integrate these values into a University, but it isn’t done effectively. The workshop is broken down into three major parts. In part one, the participants are asked a series of questions about personal identity, and then told to go near a sign expressing different identity classifications. In part two, students are broken into small groups and given different scenarios that are tangentially related to of diversity and inclusion. My question involved dealing with a possibly gay roommate, and the appropriate way to react in the situation. Part three involved a large group discussion about those scenarios. We critiqued each others responses and talked about different stereotypes. Jamming 50 students in a room and forcing them to talk about uncomfortable issues went as well as one might expect: Nobody wanted to talk and the leaders struggled to elicit responses from the participants. When I walked out of my IConnect workshop, I did not see students committed to diversity. IConnect does not do a good job teaching diversity because it does not effectively engage the participants. Instead, I saw a group of students being forced to shuffle around from one part of the room to another, collectively rolling their eyes every time the workshop leader asked a question. I saw two people expected to moderate six different group discussions with poor prompts. I saw students asked to talk about deeply personal issues in front of a large group of people that they had never met before. I saw a University that likes the idea of sounding inclusive, but seems unwilling to put the effort needed to actually be inclusive. It is unsurprising that many students probably left their IConnect workshop grumbling about the hour of their lives they will never get back. An audience has no obligation to be attentive to a bad presentation. It is the presenters’ job to entertain the audience, not vice versa. The planners of IConnect must rethink their presentation to create an audience willing to participate who will end up learning something from it. A smaller, intimate discussion with a professionally trained facilitator could be far more effective. IConnect is the University’s only opportunity to train students in diversity. The students who participate in Inclusive Illinois events on campus already understand the message. This compulsory program is the only opportunity to reach everyone on campus, as opposed to the other voluntary programming. Because of this, IConnect should strive to be the most effective, inclusive program. If the University wants to be “Inclusive Illinois,� that’s fine by me. But “Inclusive Illinois� is an earned title, and the University falls short.

EDITORIAL
Both trustee candidates show strengths, weaknesses McClinton more in touch, but lacks administration knowledge
As
a first generation college student, Jaylin McClinton has a unique perspective. He encompasses the voice of students whose needs are not adequately met by the University. On Friday, black community activists Terry Townsend and Martel Miller held a press conference about the issues facing black students on campus. They brought
up the declining number of black students and low numbers of black faculty on campus, as well as the poor conditions of the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center. McClinton has a very strong track record of making a difference on issues affecting black students. In fact, McClinton was a leader in moving the Nesbitt center. With minorities, especially black students, not receiving the atten-
tion they deserve from the administration, it would be beneficial to have a student trustee making sure their voices are heard. McClinton also seemed to understand the importance of keeping the cost of college low in order to help attract poor and working-class students. McClinton, however, also has a downside. In the debate, McClinton was unaware of the possibility of the American Association of University Professors censuring
the University for its handling of the Steven Salaita situation. McClinton also had some questionable ideas about renovating the current dormitories, rather than building new ones. While clearly invested in providing a voice for many students on the campus, what McClinton currently lacks is the proper knowledge of administrative issues. However, this is something he could easily learn through the position as a trustee.
Sterrett ready to be trustee, but not as experienced with diverse student issues
C
harlie Sterrett could make a great trustee. He knows the issues facing the campus administration. He is aware of many of the technical aspects the Board of Trustees faces. Where McClinton lacks in administration knowledge, Sterrett more than makes up for it. He knows the financial and academic problems facing the University, and, through his involvement in current trustee Lucas Frye’s cabinet of student leaders,
he is connected to many campus leaders who are dealing with these problems on a daily basis. Sterrett has a long line of experience that would help him make decisions to help the University, but he also seems to be less intouch with the needs of fringe students. Sterrett’s experience working with both Greek and non-Greek students is important, but that rift pales in comparison to the issues facing minority students on campus. To Sterrett’s credit, he said he would
like to expand his cabinet to include more diverse voices. Sterrett also hesitated to say whether he would vote against a tuition raise, though he did commit to voting against any tuition hike. However, Sterrett seemed to not fully understand all issues. Sterrett said one way to help more students pay for college would be for the University to receive more MAP grants, but that isn’t a realistic situation. If the University could receive more financial aid from the
state and federal governments, it would do so. The University has a large pool of unmet financial aid need for its students, and the University can’t afford to disperse its aid in a merit-based manner if it wants to continue to have socioeconomic diversity. Unlike McClinton, Sterrett seems to have a much better handling of the inner workings of University matters; however, a seeming lack of a well-rounded voice for students could pose problematic.

#THEDRESS
VINNY DIPPIN’
The Internet is a strange, confusing place. One day you will find news footage of escaped llamas running loose through the streets of Arizona (true story), and the next you will find a photo of a dress that goes viral and the world goes bananas trying to figure out what color it is. Guys, come on, it’s a dress — an ugly one at that — so does it really matter what color it is? (IT’S TOTALLY WHITE AND GOLD).
Well, it might be March now, but regardless, this past week has seen some record-low temperatures across the state of Illinois. Still, the annual Polar Plunge carried on and participants plunged into Lake Michigan Sunday morning. Actor Vince Vaughn was amongst the participants, donning a Blackhawks jersey and, ironically, Lady Gaga and fiance Taylor Kinney also participated this year in pretty standard clothing.
Spreading sexual safety on campus SAM PULLING Opinions columnist
T
alking about sexually transmitted diseases and infections is an awkward conversation to have with friends, significant others and even doctors, to put it lightly. Still, it’s a conversation college students need to start having if they’re not already. We’ve all heard that awkward question: “Are you sexually active?� Even if you weren’t, you then had to listen to “STD Prevention 101,� and probably thought, “Duh, I’m not stupid.� But now, here you are in college, and the lines of safety might be blurred. The casual way we may approach relationships and hook-ups poses new chances for students to get unknowingly infected. That talk with your doctor, your parents or even your crazy Uncle Frank tried to give you is now more important to remember than ever. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, half of the 20 million new STDs diagnosed yearly belong to people 15 to 24. More than one in four new HIV infections occur in people 13 to 24, and approximately 80 percent of those cases are males (sorry, boys). Because young people seem so prone to STDs, we, as col-
lege students in this age range, not only need to protect ourselves from STDs and STIs, but we also need to get tested for them. First things first: the basics. Sexual health is constantly filled with the terms “STDs� and “STIs,� but we, or at least I, was never told what the difference was. There doesn’t seem to be much difference between infection and disease, and there isn’t. Except people who are infected may not experience symptoms or have the infection develop enough to become an STD. The most common STDs are the ones you’ve probably heard of before — chlamydia, gonorrhea, human papillomavirus, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and hepatitis B and C. As if the names wouldn’t scare us enough, of that list, the five H’s are incurable: HPV, herpes, HIV, and hepatitis B and C. Now: when to get tested. If you have any unusual symptoms and are sexually active, you should see your doctor to get checked immediately. Women under the age of 25 should get checked at least once annually for chlamydia and gonorrhea, even if they’ve used protection. If you test positive for either of those, you should get further tests for HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis, as having one STI puts you at risk for other STIs. HPV should be tested for every three years from 21 to 65.
You may have noticed that much of STD testing advice is aimed mostly at women. Most STI and STD testing falls on the shoulders of women because, in general, women are more greatly affected by STDs. This is because leaving an STD untreated can cause serious damages to women’s reproductive organs, leading to future fertility problems. As young women, we still have our whole lives ahead of us. It’s important to keep our bodies healthy, and whether we think we want kids or not, our current health is crucial in order for us to have that option. Getting tested is just one more step in taking care of ourselves. As for men, many doctors only test heterosexual men for STDs if they have symptoms of concern. There are a couple of reasons why their testing differs from female testing: Women are affected more severely by STDs and, until recently, STD tests involved painful swabbing (cringe). However, STDs may affect men’s fertility as well, and urine tests are now available for chlamydia and gonorrhea, so men should become more aware of yearly tests with your doctor, as well. Testing is still important whether or not you’re experiencing symptoms. In fact, half of men and 70 percent of women can go years before they experience symptoms of chlamydia, if they ever experience them at all. In
addition, 80 percent of people with herpes unknowingly have it and can pass it on accidentally to their sexual partners. Undiagnosed STDs can have serious repercussions on physical and mental health. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause fertility damage; syphilis can cause contagious ulcers, brain, eye and ear infections; hepatitis B causes liver failure; and HIV leads to AIDS. Luckily for University students, our campus has several resources available to students. The University was even ranked number 14 in sexual health resources according Trojan Condoms’ sexual health report card. McKinley offers a website full of information: what STDs are, how to prevent them, what to do if you are diagnosed and where to go for help. They offer the McKinley Health Center/Dial-A-Nurse, a Sexual Health Educator and an Immunization and Travel Clinic, all there to help with different questions about STDs. In an environment and age where people with STDs could be anywhere (one in four college students has one), it’s nice knowing we have support from the health services on campus. So, when you sign up for your next physical, tack on an STD test, just to be safe.

ZIANG XIAO THE DAILY ILLINI
Spenser Solys, sophomore at Oakland Community College, shows his project at the HackIllinois Expo on March 1. HackIllinois is a 36-hour hacking competition.
Hackers code way to ‘awesomeness’
HackIllinois hosted 900 hackers from across country to create projects in 36-hour competition BY YI ZHU STAFF WRITER
The second HackIllinois, held from Feb. 27 to March 1, welcomed 900 hackers, 180 projects and 55 sponsors to the University. The three-day technology-based competition started by dividing candidates into teams, said Event Director Nick Kortendick. Within 36 hours, team members created a technical project either according to a sponsor’s request or based on their own idea. Projects were divided into hardware and software categories. Some of the 180 projects presented include an app for geographic exploration, software for stock trading and a flying device for coffee delivery. Prizes were awarded on Sunday to VR Spec, Pintalk and Teleport for the soft-
ware category and Oculus Scooter, Cloud Scout and Button Light for the hardware category. Projects were judged based on their creativity, complexity, accessibility, utility and “awesomeness.” “We are really interested to see people combine multiple technologies together,” said Greg Baugues, a VIP judge and developer evangelist at Twilio, Inc. “But sometimes people are doing too much and trying to include too many features in. It’s better to focus on two to three features and do those really, really well.” Adam Barbato, a computer science major, joined this year’s HackIllinois with three teammates. They were placed in the hardware category and worked on a flying device, called “RoBarista,” which aims to deliver coffee by
remote control. “I put some coffee onto the croc-copter, which will fly to the coffee table. And then I give it a command, it will pour the coffee into customer’s cup and then return to me,” Barbato said. More than 2,500 students applied for HackIllinois, and around 900 hackers attended. Preparation began in July 2014 and more than 60 staff members and 225 volunteers participated, according to Kortendick. Hackers this year came from universities all over the country, including University of Chicago, Missouri University and as far as University of Waterloo, Carnegie Mellon University and Georgia Tech University. “We feel like it’s best to include a huge variety of people of all different schools, skill levels and backgrounds. That’s why we randomly picked around 1,000 hackers from the applications,” said Nathan Handler, event co-director.

HISTORY Despite that experience, Tabriz said she is content as the manager for Google Chrome Security, despite the fact she may have an advantage throughout her career. “The fact that I’m a woman in tech and that there are so few women, I’m sure, has given me some advantage in that people pay attention for better or for worse,” Tabriz said. “It’s a really interesting time now. I think there’s a lot of public discussion around women in tech, why there are so few and why the numbers are actually decreasing.” But it’s not just in the job market: A recent study done by Pathways Resource Center has found that Illinois is trailing behind other states in girls studying science and math. Don Hackmann, director of Pathways Resource Center and professor in education, said exposing students to different careers and areas where they are underrepresented can benefit them in the long run. Hackmann encouraged teachers to consider gender equality when inviting guest speakers. Even though Illinois may be trailing behind, this year the University is experiencing the largest percentage of women enrolled in its computer science program, according to the Division of Management Information. Tabriz visited the University in October to speak to students in the computer science program in a keynote address for the Women in Computer Science Alumni and Student Banquet. Heeren said that the visit allowed the women to learn from a role model who has had success in the field. “She was both technical

This led him to discover the inner inner core of the Earth and its properties — a finding both Song and Weaver hope will serve as a trajectory for further investigation of the planet’s interior.
“It’s hard to say if there’s a practical application,” Song said. “We have known, for example, from kindergarten, that the Earth has different layers and whatnot, and now we suddenly have a very striking, new layer, if you like, that we didn’t know (about) before. That’s something that I think is very cool.”

I don’t think just anybody could do that,” Heeren said. “Parisa is somebody who plays that role for our young women so they can look ahead and say, ‘Oh, look, there’s someone a little bit farther down the road than I am who has been amazingly successful — I can do that, too.’ And that was missing for a long time.”

on criminal connotations, which led to the creation of the “white hat” and “black hat” terms, to distinguish the motivations of the individual. Tabriz described white hat hackers as those who only hack for good, such as to find vulnerabilities in software, whereas black hat hackers do it to harm someone or for profit. “I think for myself it’s something where I tend to think hackers, like people, are much more complex, and no one is absolutely good or absolutely evil,” Tabriz said. “I see people working on security for a lot of different reasons, and they get older and as they mature as a person, I think their moti-

No day is ever the same For Tabriz, there are few things typical from day to day, except the daily routine of waking up very early and “bracing (herself) for (her) inbox.” Managing a team of about 30 information security engineers for Google Chrome Security, much of her job is finding out what is happening and knowing who the experts are to assign to the issue. With that team spread out across seven international offices, communication happens through email, chat or Google Hangouts. However, when there aren’t pressing matters, she meets with her team to make sure things are going well, and that people are working on things that interest them. “People who are happy tend to do a much better job at work, so another part of my job is to make sure people are working on interesting things, important things and just in general learning and enjoying their time,” she said. Often, Tabriz decides what is important, since her team strives to be one step ahead. “I think it’s just a grab bag of what I think is urgent and what I think is important. There’s no shortage of security things to do, whether it’s a bug that needs attention or somebody wanting to get feedback on some feature, we’re trying to do proactive projects,” Tabriz said. “We try to think about potential threats and how we can defend against them before there actually is a crisis.”

hen Google’s Security Princess, Parisa Tabriz, started at the University, the electrical engineering lab wasn’t her favorite place on campus. The equipment in the lab — transistors, oscilloscopes, protoboards — kept her dependent on things in the physical world.

dependent on any of these physical objects that might break, and it was just very iterative, a way to get quick feedback and build something very quickly,� the 2007 alumna said. Her new interest led her to change her major from engineering to computer science and to get involved in the Association for Computing Machinery’s special interest groups (SIGS) for web design and hacking. She was also a student leader for ACM when Cinda Heeren, lecturer in computer science, knew her. “I think it was about the time she was in student leadership where we started having conversations about gender equity in this department and being a little more conscious of the balance, the gender balance in the building,� she said. “Because I think we saw Parisa doing this amazing job, and it was very natural to ask, ‘Well, where’s everybody else?’� As the beginning of March marks the start of
National Women’s History Month, Heeren hopes that Tabriz can be a mentor for the women in the computer science field.
A role model Tabriz explained how people are always curious of how her gender has had a resounding effect on her career. But she still has no answers. “I’m happy in tech,� she said. “I happen to be a woman in tech, and neither of these happen to be aspects of my situation I want to change so I try not to focus on it too much. It’s just nothing that can be changed.� She recalled a time a fellow student in ACM attributed an internship she got to her gender, which stuck with her.

UI professor’s discovery could change how Earth’s core is viewed BY MADELINE DECKER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The question of what lies at the center of the Earth has long captivated the public imagination. A recent discovery by University professor Xiaodong Song may transform the way that seismologists view the Earth. Using a new seismology technique, Song and his team discovered that the core of the Earth contains an inner region that is smaller than the Earth’s moon at only about 600 kilometers in radius. Song discovered that within this inner inner core, where iron crystals have long been thought to align only
in a north to south orientation, crystals in this central region are actually aligned east to west. While Song’s team still awaits confirmation of research results, this discovery could transform the way scientists view the planet. The Earth’s inner core is like the rings of the tree, according to Song. By looking at the rings in a tree’s inner core, for example, one can detect its age or past environmental traumas. Much in the same way, the Earth’s inner core, which grows over time “from the solidification ... of liquid iron in the outer core,� Song said, provides
insights into the planet’s development. “The Earth’s inner core has recorded a very long history of the Earth, over at least a billion years,� he said. The north-south iron crystal orientation in the Earth’s core has flipped several times in the past. The east-west alignment of iron crystals in Earth’s inner inner core, however, suggests that “right around 600 million years ago ... there was something different in the paleomagnetic field,� Song said, assuming that the Earth is approximately a billion years old. In other words, the iron crystal alignment in the
inner inner core could indicate changes in the Earth that occurred long ago — changes scientists may now seek to further explore. Song made this discovery in partnership with a team of researchers at Nanjing University in China. The U.S. National Science Foundation and the National Science Foundation of China funded his work. Curiosity, along with a powerful new technique in seismology, inspired Song’s research. Richard Weaver, University physics professor, was a pioneer in the development of the technique Song used. Just as doctors use ultra-
sounds to explore the inside of the human body, Weaver explained, seismologists use the rate at which sound waves travel through the Earth to determine properties of the Earth’s interior. Seismologists have for many years analyzed seismic waves from earthquakes, but with a relatively limited scope. About 16 years ago, however, Weaver — who specializes in ultrasonics, a discipline similar to seismology but on a smaller, more accessible scale — had a theory that the randomized waves produced by the reverberations of earthquakes, referred to as noise, could also reveal
information about the Earth’s interior. He performed experiments in his laboratory to demonstrate that the technique would indeed work on a larger scale. “It’s been a revolution in seismology ever since,� Weaver said. This technique allowed Song to obtain a somewhat complete picture, by using the noise from any station across the globe, Weaver said. Analyzing about 20 years worth of seismic records from around the world, Weaver said, Song determined “seismic waves trav-

Men’s track grabs 2nd place at Big Tens BY WILL SMALL STAFF WRITER
As Nebraska celebrated its fi rst Big Ten Indoor Championship on Saturday, the Illinois men’s track and field team was in a familiar position: second place. For the second time in three indoor seasons, Illinois was presented the runner-up trophy — it was the eighth time since 1989 that the Illini fi nished in second place. Illinois captured three individual titles over the two-day competition at the SPIRE Institute in Gene-
va, Ohio, but those weren’t enough. Nebraska tallied 127 points, Illinois had 86 and Minnesota rounded out the top three with 76. “We fought really hard and gave it everything we had but it wasn’t quite enough,� head coach Mike Turk said. “We are disappointed with a second-place fi nish. We worked for something a little bit better, and it just didn’t happen. I’m proud of the way the team competed. They laid it all out there.� The highlight of the weekend was senior DJ Zahn,
who won three events in his fi nal Big Ten indoor meet. The 200 meters, 400 meters and 4x400 meter relay were the only events that he competed in, giving Zahn firstplace fi nishes in every race he entered. In the preliminary round of the 200 meters, Zahn broke the Illinois school record with a time of 20.87 seconds, but his mark wouldn’t last for long. In the event finals, Zahn ran 20.75, another new Illini best. The 400 meters was another record-shattering event for Zahn. His time of 45.63
beat the previous Illini best set in 2009. But Zahn wasn’t done yet. The 4x400 relay team of sophomores David Kendziera and Kenneth Allen, redshirt junior Joe McAsey and Zahn fi nished at the top with a time of 3:07.02. According to Turk, this was Zahn’s most impressive performance of the weekend. “DJ has gone to another level. He ran three school records this weekend and a couple of them are pretty old,� Turk said. “That 4x400 meter anchor leg he ran and the pass he made on the turn
was just sheer will. That was just a beast of a run for him.� There were a handful of notable individual performances beyond the Illini’s three event titles. Jonathan Wells continued his strong freshman campaign, fi nishing fourth in the high jump. Senior Davis Fraker finished third in the weight throw — he threw a distance of 22.50 meters, breaking his school record from earlier this season. “Davis was huge getting third in the weight throw,� Turk said. “He broke the school record with a huge
throw. It was a really satisfying performance to see from a senior.� Even though Wells and Fraker did not win their respective events, their strong fi nishes helped the Illini contend for the Big Ten title, something the team had its sights set on all season. While Illinois ultimately came up short against Nebraska, Turk said it was a great weekend for his guys. “I’m proud of the way the team competed,� Turk said. “They laid it all out there.�

Illinois earn 10th seed in Big Ten tournament
Despite the 10th place finish at the Big Ten Indoor Championships in Geneva, Ohio, over the weekend, the Illinois women’s track and field team finished with 10 individuals in the top 20. Six athletes earning top-10 honors and two came away with wins. One of those top-10 performances came from senior Alyssa Schneider, who earned third place in the 5,000 meter. Schneider’s time did not qualify her for the NCAA Indoor Championships in two weeks, but she was impressed with her indoor season. “As a team I think we made a lot of progress this indoor season,� Schneider said. “A lot of people came away with personal bests and new additions to our school’s record list. I am happy with my (individual) season — coming away from it with personal bests in the mile and 5K and putting in good work that will carry over into outdoor season.� Another bright spot from the weekend came from sophomore Nicole Choquette, who ran a time of one minute, 29 seconds in the 600 meter. It also pushed her up to third on Illinois’ all-time rank in the event. Choquette moved past Ryisha Boyd and now trails only Samantha Murphy and Carlene Robinson, who rank first and second, respectively, on the 600 meter all-time list. The strong performance is one that Choquette didn’t expect coming into the season and is one that helps her going into the outdoor season as well. “It just shows that hard work can pay off,� Choquette

Men’s gymnastics struggles at Oklahoma BY DANIEL COLLINS STAFF WRITER
The No. 2 Illinois men’s gymnastics meet against No. 1 Oklahoma on Friday was dubbed “The Perfect Dual.” Both teams entered with records of 10-0, but things went far from perfect for the Illini in Norman, Oklahoma Illinois trailed the entire competition in its 457.300434.200 defeat. The floor exercise and all-around were the only titles won by an Illini gymnast. Junior C.J. Maestas posted a 15.900 on the floor, splitting the event title with Oklahoma sophomore Colin Van Wiklen. Freshman Bobby Baker, the only member of either team to compete for the all-around title, posted a score of 86.200.
While Maestas posted a top score on the floor, head coach Justin Spring left him out of all other events to provide the ailing gymnast with additional rest. “He takes it personal when another team is beating us and he rises to the occasion and performs better,” Spring said of Maestas. “The attitude that comes along with that is one that the rest of the team has to embrace.” This weekend marked the first away meet for the Illini since Jan. 24, when they defeated Ohio State, and their second outside the state of Illinois. The first two away competitions of the season were a meet against UIC and the Windy City Invitational, which were both held at the UIC Pavilion.
Multiple members of the team said they only noticed three fans in the audience wearing orange and blue. Spring suggested that the change of scenery caused the team to compete with a lack of intensity. “We brought an apprehensive, reserved competitive spirit,” Spring said. “Oklahoma did the exact opposite. They competed aggressively, had laser vision for stuck landings and got us.” Baker and senior Jordan Valdez shared an uncharacteristic similarity in the meet — both participated in an event in which they posted a score below 13.000. Baker’s score came in the still ring event — he fell after getting tangled up during a dismount and scored a 12.700.
Valdez fell twice in the high bar event and posted a score of 12.900. “I got onto the high bar and I was pretty nervous,” Valdez said. “Normally I don’t have a lot of nerves, and when I do, I can get them to calm down and go away. But it was a different environment that was difficult to adjust to. It was something (the team) suffered from even after some good sets.” Valdez wore a pair of grips against the Sooners that he hadn’t used yet in competition. He said he struggled with his old pair while competing for a senior spot on the U.S. national team at the Winter Cup in Las Vegas the previous weekend. He added
Oklahoma 457.300, Illinois 434.200
Summary: Illinois failed to post a top-three scorer in three events en route to its first defeat of the season. Key Performer: Bobby Baker: Won the all-around with a score of 86.200. Quote of the game: Head coach Justin Spring: “We bought an apprehensive, that the idea of competing with new grips for the fi rst time and the distraction of the crowd became a mental challenge for him during his high bar routine. Illinois’ score of 434.200 was the lowest since it posted a 428.100 at the Windy
reserved competitive spirit. Oklahoma did the exact opposite. They competed aggressively, had laser vision for stuck landings and got us.” Quick Note: For the first time this season the Illini failed to win more than two event titles. Up next: Stanford, Friday, March 6, Huff Hall. City Invitational. “It’s a valuable learning lesson for a team that hasn’t been challenged yet,” Spring said of the loss.

Illini serve fighting Irish defeat BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER
The Illinois and Notre Dame men’s tennis teams see a lot of each other. The teams have played every year since 1974, and in each of the last 10 years, the home team has come out on top. That streak came to an end on Saturday, as the No. 3 Illini took down the No. 14 Irish in a back-and-forth match in South Bend, Indiana. The Illini dropped the doubles point, but came through in singles play to claim the victory. The clinching point came down to freshman No. 67 Aron Hiltzik on Court 5 in the only three-set match of the afternoon. Hiltzik lost a hotly contested first set in an extended tiebreaker 6-7 (6-8) to Notre Dame’s Nicolas Montoya. But Hiltzik wasn’t fazed, and went on to dominate the next two sets, taking Montoya down 6-0, 6-0. It was an impressive showing by Hiltzik to claim the match for Illinois. “I’m proud of him. He didn’t play a great first set and just got right back on it,” head coach Brad Dancer said. “Great resiliency by him, great toughness by him.” Aron’s brother No. 19 Jared Hiltzik tied the match up at three with a victory over No. 102 Josh Hagar in second singles. Jared won the fi rst set 6-4, and then claimed the second with a tiebreaker, 7-6 (7-4), to put his brother in position to win the match. It was the second win of the day for Jared — he claimed a victory in the Illini’s morning 5-0 shutout of Valparaiso. Jared beat Valpo’s Jeffrey Schorsch 6-2, 7-5 — Schorsch is the same Crusader

Key performer: Aron Hiltzik: Hiltzik clinched the victory against Notre Dame for Illinois. After dropping the first set, he that Aron beat in the fall’s ITA Midwest Regional Championship. Dancer was happy with the play of both the Hiltziks on Saturday. “All the work that they do is paying off for them,” Dancer said. “Right now, they’re having some results, kind of the culmination of everything they’ve done beforehand.” The other two Illini to claim singles victories in both of the day’s matches were No. 33 Tim Kopinski and No. 44 Aleks Vukic. After straight-set singles wins against Valparaiso, the two claimed the first Illini points of the day against Notre Dame. Kopinski handled Eddy Covalschi 6-1, 6-2, and Vukic fought through a challenge from Billy Pecor to win the first set 7-6 (7-4) and the second 6-0. Kopinski and Vukic’s victories gave the Illini a 2-1 lead, their fi rst of the day, but they soon fell behind again after losses by Toshiki Matsuya in sixth singles
and No. 52 Farris Gosea at first singles. Matsuya suffered his first dual meet loss of the season to the Irish’s Alex Lawson, while Gosea fell to Notre Dame’s top player No. 24 Quentin Monaghan. Monaghan has defeated both Gosea and Jared Hiltzik this year, both times in straight sets. The Illini recovered thanks to the play of the Hiltzik brothers, but they were also aided by an Illinois crowd. The Net Nuts cheering section organized a road trip to Notre Dame and made its presence felt in South Bend. The fans tried to create a home match environment for an Illini team that has to spend nearly a month on the road. “It was unbelievable,” Dancer said. “Needless to say, that’s just an incredible effort by them to do that, it made for a very special atmosphere for us.”

Junior Jennifer DeBellis finished fourth with a mark of 4.09 meters. Richartz’s journey is not done yet. She will compete at the NCAA
Indoor Championships held in Fayetteville, Ark., in two weeks. “NCAAs is going to be a really exciting meet,” Richartz said. “There’s a lot of high-level athletes that will be there and I’m hoping to place in the top three or five, but we’ll see how it pans out.”

The Wildcats’ play didn’t improve much over the rest of the game, but the story in this one was about how good Illinois looked for a full 40 minutes. The Illini’s three-headed monster of Kendrick Nunn, Malcolm Hill and Rayvonte Rice played in sync for the first time since Rice’s return from injury on Feb. 12. Nunn fi nished with 14 points, Hill 15 and Rice 19, and the three of them shot a combined 47 percent from the field and were 11 of 20 from three. Ahmad Starks added 17. They weren’t the only ones playing efficiently and effectively. Even though primary bigs Nnanna Egwu and Leron Black combined for just six
The No. 16 Illinois women’s gymnastics team failed to defeat two top-10 teams this weekend, but overall, junior Giana O’Connor still felt her team did well with the double-meet weekend, as the Illini had “really good” performances. To begin, Illinois faced No. 1 Oklahoma on Friday night at Huff Hull, losing 197.875-195.950. Despite the loss, the Illini were content with their performance. “We talked a lot as a team before the meet about just going out and performing our routines and really staying within our 14-person bubble,” head coach Kim Landrus said. “The girls really followed the plan and continued to do that throughout the entire competition.” The Illini trailed in the entire meet, as the Sooners’ high scores were too much for Illinois to counter. But Illinois continued to improve its scores in each event, starting on vault, with a 48.725, and then scoring a 49 on the other three events. Landrus said the team needed to make improvements for Sunday’s tri-meet. “If we just continue a lot of the performances that we did and work on those little things, then we’re going to get what we want — that little half tenth back here and there — because we can’t give the judges it to take, and I think we learned that tonight,” Landrus said. Illinois still had some little mistakes at the Masters Classic on Sunday afternoon, but the team was satisfied with its second-place fi nish and its 196.425 score. Meanwhile, No. 8 Nebraska took fi rst with a 197.100 on its home turf, the Devaney Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, and San Jose State fi nished third with a 195.150. The Illini started the meet on uneven bars, scoring a 49.250. That was Illinois’ best event total, and it helped give the gymnasts momentum going forward in the competition. From there, Illinois headed to beam and scored a 49.175. The Illini did have to count one score below a 9.8, but every gymnast stuck her dismount — something the team has been trying to improve upon. The success then carried on to floor, where Illinois
Illinois 195.950, Oklahoma 197.875 Masters Classic: Nebraska 197.100, Illinois 196.425, San Jose State 195.150 Summary: The Illini couldn’t handle the Sooners on Friday. Illinois followed that with a second-place finish in the Masters Classic. Key performer: Junior Giana O’Connor tied Alina Weinstein’s program-best all-around score of a 39.625. Quote of the weekend: Head coach Kim Landrus — “We need to stick more landings and just get all those little details.” Hidden stat: Oklahoma scored a 9.9 on half of its 24 routines, while Illinois only had two 9.9’s. Up next: Illinois Classic, 6 p.m. Friday at NIU Convocation Center, DeKalb, Ill. earned a 49.075. Vault was the lone event in which Illinois failed to score a 49, just like in the loss to Oklahoma, but the Illini did improve upon Saturday’s 48.725 with a 48.925. O’Connor led the way on vault with a 9.900, equaling that score on balance beam and floor. She also earned a 9.925 on bars — a career high — which was enough to win her the all-around title and tie the program’s best all-around score of 39.625. O’Connor said she didn’t feel any different coming into the meet, but added it was great to accomplish what she did. She knows there are still improvements to be made, for both herself and the team as a whole, with the regular season nearing an end. “We did have a couple mistakes,” O’Connor said. “So it’s exciting because we know that we got a good score today and just fixing those mistakes will boost our scores even more, which means, going into postseason, we’re gaining momentum, and we’re peaking at right time.”

points, sophomore forwards Maverick Morgan and Austin Colbert came off the bench to give John Groce’s Illini a huge boost inside. Morgan finished with 10 points and eight boards, and Colbert had five points and four rebounds in an active 15 minutes of playing time. Their positive play was highlighted by a first half sequence when Colbert dropped a sweet no-look pass inside to Morgan, who then muscled a layup in over three Northwestern defenders. Illinois couldn’t lose to Northwestern if it wanted to keep its NCAA tournament hopes alive. The Illini are currently just outside the projected field of 68, according to ESPN, and a loss to the Wildcats would have knocked them off the bubble completely. But

Against Northwestern, the Illini showed how they could be a low-seeded team that no high seed wants to face in the tournament. When Nunn, Hill and Rice are hitting on all cylinders, Illinois is a tough matchup for anybody. The Illini took care of business Saturday, and they’ll have to do it again on senior night Wednesday against a struggling Nebraska team.

While being seeded 10th may not sound like a big positive, it keeps the Illini out of the new fi rst round that seeds 11-14 have to play Wednesday. Aside from the seeding, Illinois will also have momentum heading into the tournament after winning two of its last three games and stomping Michigan to end on a high note. “(I’m) happy for the seniors to send them out the right way,” Bollant said. “I told the younger players in the locker room that they showed (the seniors) love by playing great.”

give up. Illinois couldn’t take advantage of strong pitching performances in both of its losses, something the players were disappointed about after the game. “We’re not taking consistent atbats,” Fletcher said. “(The Illinois pitchers) have been throwing really great games and we just haven’t been able to help them out.” Pitcher John Kravetz came out dealing in Sunday’s second game against West Virginia. The senior pitched seven scoreless innings, giving up four hits and striking out nine. The Illini bullpen allowed a run in the bottom of the eighth but Illinois responded in the top of the ninth — Ryan Nagle hit an RBI groundout to give Illinois a 2-1 lead that Roper would protect to earn his first save of the season. One of the highlights of the weekend was the return of pitcher Kevin Duchene, who dazzled against Ball State on Friday in his season debut. After missing the first two weekends because of off-

The Illinois baseball team traveled to South Carolina this weekend looking to continue its undefeated season. With its best start since 1986 when the team started 7-0, the Illini wanted to build upon their already strong start. However, costly mistakes in close games and cold bats didn’t allow the team to escape its third weekend of the season without suffering its first losses. A passed ball against Ball State on Saturday and a wild pitch versus Kent State on Sunday resulted in go-ahead runs and the Illini’s first two losses of the season. Illinois (8-2-1) split the weekend in the first four games of the Chanticleer Classic in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, beating West Virgina, going 1-1 against Ball State and losing to Kent State. Head coach Dan Hartleb attributed the losses to the team’s inability to overcome obstacles. “We just haven’t come up with
a lot of big hits in crucial situations,” Hartleb said. “It’s about finding ways to win when things aren’t going great for you, just being able to fight through that.” The Illini suffered their first loss of the season against Ball State on Saturday despite a strong pitching performance from Drasen Johnson. The senior threw seven scoreless innings, struck out six and only allowed four hits. Illinois’ bullpen couldn’t hold the 1-0 lead and allowed two runs in the bottom of the eighth on a single and a passed ball. It was Johnson’s second no-decision of the season — he didn’t allow a run in either outing. Illinois tried to return to its winning ways in its first game Sunday against Kent State. Two Illini, second baseman Reid Roper and right fielder Casey Fletcher, hit home runs, helping Illinois to a 3-1 lead. Those three runs would not be enough. Senior pitcher Rob McDonnell surrendered three runs in the top of the sixth, giving the Golden Flashes a 4-3 they wouldn’t
