PORTRAIT BY SONNY AN THE DAILY ILLINI
Forty years later, Easter ready to retire BY ABIGALE SVOBODA STAFF WRITER
Standing at his retirement party at the Colonnades Club in Memorial Stadium in 2009, President Robert Easter was asked if he could wait just a few more months. Former Chancellor Richard Herman asked if he could serve as interim provost for the Urbana campus, and Easter thought, “It would be an interesting way to go out.” However, during Easter’s time as interim provost, the now infamous admissions scandal broke, leading to the resignation of the majority of the Board of Trustees and some University administrators. Consequentially, Easter was asked to stay just a little longer — this time serving as interim chancellor until Chancellor Phyllis Wise was hired in 2012. Easter was then able to retire. But, just for five months. On a Sunday afternoon in March 2012, he received a phone call from then-Board
of Trustees chairman Christopher Kennedy, asking him to come back to work at the University. This time, as president. “So that’s it. It’s an accident. The accidental president,” Easter said. Easter will now retire on May 17, after almost 40 years of working at the University. He planned to cap his career at 33 years after he served for the College of ACES as a professor, department head, interim dean and dean — Easter’s favorite position. “The really fun job was dean of agriculture. In part because I was at a level that I could impact things, both within the college and also externally,” Easter said. “And it was a time that we weren’t really in desperate financial shape, so we could do some good things.” While he deems himself “accidental,” Robin Kaler, campus spokeswoman, said Easter is the opposite — a visionary who brought the University stability and fixed its reputation.
Easter said he hopes his legacy will show that he helped the University return to a state of normalcy. Easter himself is an Illini. He earned his Ph.D. at the University in animal science in 1976. He did not expect “University president” to be something on his career path. While Easter was completing his doctorate degree, a faculty member left to work for Purina. The department asked Easter to serve as a lecturer, and he ended up staying for four decades. Ironically, current chairman of the Board of Trustees Ed McMillan was the executive who recruited the leaving faculty member. “So I told (McMillan), ‘It’s all your fault!’” Easter said. McMillan’s fault or not, Easter said he thinks ultimately he made the right choice — to work at the University over another job offer at Texas A&M, where he earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees. Now that Easter can final-
ly retire from his six days-aweek, 19 hours-a-day job, he said he’s excited to rest and spend time with his wife and family. Easter said the job is really a team effort, with his wife, Cheryl, leading the pack. She works as much as he does, Easter said, between hosting and attending all the other events that accompany being president. “When I was asked to take this role she said, ‘Well this is something we can do together,’ and I thought: ‘what a great way to end a professional career,’ Easter said. Although he enjoys sports, Easter’s true hobbies are reading, farming, building and repairing. Cheryl is the sports fan of the couple — “a fanatic,” according to her husband. The Easter family lives on a farm where he has four different fruit trees and a garden that he enjoys tending to in the warmer months. Easter also has a workshop but claimed not to build any-

University employees are being encouraged to take the Amtrak more often during travels to and from Chicago in support of the recent executive order issued by Gov. Bruce Rauner to reduce unnecessary travel. Executive Order 8 addresses Illinois’ fiscal crisis by recommending that state agencies require employees, whenever possible, to take public transportation or carpool when traveling. The state hopes this action will reduce travel reimbursements in gas money. The University’s Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment (iSEE) and the Chicago campus’ Office of Sustainability are working together to encourage employees to use Amtrak when traveling between campuses to save money and help the environment. Grace Kyung, graduate intern for sustainable transportation at iSEE and graduate student, said the department has been promoting
travel by Amtrak because it would help the University reduce its carbon footprint. “We’re working toward understanding how people are choosing their mode of transportation and how we can work together in reducing unnecessary travel,” Kyung said. “Our goal is to ultimately become carbon neutral over time.” On its website, the Office of Business and Financial Services shows a discount available for University employees. Travel cost between Chicago and Champaign via Amtrak can be as low as $14, compared to $78 for a trip made in a personal vehicle. The website also recommends scheduling meetings that work around the Amtrak schedule, so employees can easily take the train. Cynthia Klein-Banai, associate chancellor for sustainability at Chicago’s Office of Sustainability, said she began to encourage Amtrak travel when the office’s sustainable transportation commit-

O
ut of the hundreds of stories I’ve written for The Daily Illini, this is the most difficult one to put into words. Over the past year, The Daily Illini staff has spent countless hours putting out 126 papers. We’ve written thousands of stories, which received mil-
lions of views from hundreds of thousands of readers. But time’s up. This is my last publication as editor-in-chief. When we come back from spring break, Megan Jones will be editor-in-chief, and I’ll be a has-been. I’ve been dreading (and looking forward to) this day for 365 days now. I credit almost everything I know about journalism to The Daily Illini. The people I work with on a daily basis are amazing. They
would do anything for a good story, and I would do anything for them. I’ve met some of my best friends here, and it’s sad to see it all come to an end. But the thing that brought me the most joy over the past year was seeing someone reading The Daily Illini — people laughing, people learning, people crying. I want to thank you for the opportunity to do this. You didn’t have to read anything, but you did. You chose to spend your
time reading the things we poured our hearts and souls into. You validated everything we did. We can write and write and write, but none of it matters unless you read it. And you did. You read about the controversy surrounding Steven Salaita. You read about the process of finding a new University president and adding a new medical school. You read about the struggles of the football and men’s basketball teams. You went to us to
find out what to do this weekend. You read our opinions, even if you didn’t necessarily agree. We’re just a bunch of college kids trying to learn how to write, how to edit, how to put out a newspaper. We’re learning news judgment. We’re learning storytelling. We’re learning how to manage each other. We’re learning how to be adults. And we’re trying to balance it all with classes. The Daily Illini is in good hands going forward.

A young staff is taking over. They have a lot to learn, but they’re extremely talented and dedicated. I know they’ll be able to continue the momentum we’ve built up this year. Well, I guess, 126 papers later, that’s it — that’s all I’ve got. I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have. Thanks for reading.

Gov. Rauner acts to reduce prison population BY JOSH WINTERS STAFF WRITER
Illinois’ prisons are overflowing - according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, they have been operating at 150 percent of their intended capacity, costing the state millions. In an effort to tackle overcrowding, Gov. Bruce Rauner signed an executive order establishing the Illinois State Commission on Criminal Justice and Sentencing Reform. The commission will review the state’s criminal justice policies, draft a final report on their findings by the end of the year and provide potential solutions to reduce the number of prisoners in Illinois. “The current prison system is costly, overcrowded and ineffective,” Rauner said in a statement. “We need to reform the system to stop the costly and vicious cycle of recidivism and help those who’ve left prison get the help they need to become productive members of society.” The primary goal of the commission is to reduce the number of the state’s prisoners by 25 percent over the next 10 years while maintaining public safety. However, the Illinois Sentencing Policy Advisory Council and Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority both found that over the last 40 years, crime rates have fallen 20 percent while the prison population has increased 700 percent. According to the Illinois Department of Corrections, the number of inmates rose nearly 9 percent between 2005 and 2014 alone. In his executive order, Rauner also said that nearly half of Illinois inmates are back in prison within 3 years of their release. The commission is comprised of experts in criminal justice from vari-

ous fields, including law enforcement, state government and academia. Public Safety Director and Homeland Security Advisor to the governor, Rodger Heaton, was appointed as commission chairman. University law professor Andrew Leipold was also named to the commission, bringing more than 20 years of criminal law experience to the table with him. “It was very flattering,” Leipold said on his appointment. “It’s an important topic, and the governor seems serious about doing something.” Leipold said his career as an academic gives him a unique set of perspectives on criminal law, which he believes could prove to be very useful in identifying strategies to shrink the state’s prison population. “Since I don’t have the pressures of representing clients day-to-day, it’s easi-
er for me to step back, look at the research, do research and think about some of these issues,” Leipold said. The commission is operating on two major deadlines. It is expected to submit an initial report of its findings and policy recommendations for the criminal justice system by July 1 and a final report by December 31. While the commission has not yet had a chance to meet, Leipold said the toughest task facing them will be trying to find a balance between punishing criminals and reintegrating them back into society once they are released. “That’s the challenge, trying to find out exactly where the balance lies between these, at times, competing interests,” Leipold said. “That’s going to have to be a lot of what the commission has to think about.”
Urbana supports reinstatement of county mental health court BY FATIMA FARHA STAFF WRITER
This month, the Urbana City Council unanimously voted to pass Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing’s resolution to support the reinstatement of a mental health court in the county. Differences between the State’s Attorney Julia Rietz and Judge Jeff Ford, who presided over the court, led to the dissolution of the Champaign County Mental Health Court in 2013, Prussing said. “The idea is that we put too many people in jail in this country and inappropriately,” Prussing said. “They don’t need to be put in jail, they’re not threats to other people, but there’s just no other place to put them.” Police officers must arrest people for committing crimes that may have to do with their untreated illness, Prussing said. But after going to the hospital, some people have no place to go other than jail. She said there needs to be assessment and treatment centers for people in this situation. The reinstatement of a mental health court could be a solution, but the county has not yet made a decision.

More men than women had one-night stands in 2014. At least that’s what a study by Match.com found. Helen Fisher, biological anthropologist and chief scientific advisor to Match. com’s “Singles in America 2014” discovered that 66 percent of single men and 50 percent of single women reported they had engaged in a one-night stand last year. For the fifth year in a row, the study was produced by Match.com and conducted by Research Now, an online market research company. According to Match.com’s website, the study surveyed 5,675 U.S. singles between the ages of 18 and 70+. Pat Morey, assistant dean of students and director of the Women’s Resource Center, said she talked to many students who have felt a little confused by one-night stands, primarily because they didn’t know what was going to happen after. Those students who were confused sometimes thought they were creating a relationship, rather than doing something one night only, Morey said. She believes the hook-up culture on campus is often mixed with alcohol con-

Marvin Gaye children ask judge to bar sales, performance of ‘Blurred Lines’ Attorneys for the family of late musician Marvin Gaye have asked a federal judge to block the sale, distribution and performance of the hit 2013 song “Blurred Lines,” after last week’s jury verdict that the tune infringed on Gaye’s 1977 chart-topper “Got to Give It Up.” Jurors awarded three of Gaye’s children, who inherited rights to the Gaye song,
nearly $7.4 million of profits previously generated by “Blurred Lines,” which was 2013’s biggest single and earned more than $5 million each for singer Robin Thicke, producer Pharrell Williams and the record companies. The jury found that rapper T.I. and record labels Interscope and Star Trak were not liable for the infringement.

Men have more 1-night stands; UI says safe sex still important BY ALI BRABOY

sumption, which loosens inhibitions. It’s important that students think about their values and what they want out of a relationship before the opportunity arises, Morey said. “I think it can get confusing, and there can be a lot of pressure to kind of conform to something that maybe, it’s not part of your values,” she said. Chris Wollmuth, junior in LAS, believes there are certain cultural conventions society places on men and women: Men often get bragging rights for sex, though it’s not always viewed the same for women. When he came to college, Wollmuth was in a committed relationship and had never had a one-night stand. However, when the relationship ended, he said he had the experience, although it did not become prevalent. Most of his sexual experiences have been in a committed relationship, which he prefers because oftentimes people are expected to put on their best performance for a one-night stand. However, in a committed relationship there is time to grow comfortable with your partner and know each other more intimately.
“The longer you date someone, the better sex is,” Wollmuth said. Although there is a feeling of immediacy and feeling good, Wollmuth said it is important to be safe about actions regarding sex. He said there is a confusing line when it comes to relationships and casual sex. “In a relationship, it’s my place to ask that person, ‘Are you clean, have you been tested?’” he said. However, in a one-night stand, Wollmuth said he is torn because he questions whether it is his place to ask these questions, since he may not see the person again. Dr. Robert Palinkas,
director of McKinley Health Center, said the safest kind of sexual activity involves use of barrier protection when both parties are not intoxicated. Regardless of what kind of sexual activity, he said there is always the possibility of sexually transmitted infection or pregnancy, if the partners are heterosexual. Issues of anxiety could also arise from the relationship, he said. He said he would be cautious about focusing on any one study for information because often an individual population is surveyed that might not reflect all people.
always working toward an animal science degree. Following high school, he completed two years of community college and was planning on earning a history degree from Texas A&M and then going to law school. After spending a summer working as a secretary for a legislator in Austin, Texas, another legislator told him he shouldn’t waste the knowledge he had of swine and animal nutrition. It was then that Easter decided to declare a major in animal science. His career in animal science has taken him far in both the academic world and the physical world. In 1988, the American Soybean Association asked Easter to present a seminar in China to help build a market for Illinois soybeans. At the time, Easter said, he thought it was a one-time deal. Since then, Easter estimates he’s been to China at least 30 times. “When you’re doing things in agriculture, you’re typically out somewhere, so it was an opportunity to see a country in transition but also
to learn a lot of the culture too,” Easter said. Although he has been an educator and administrator for nearly forty years, it seems as if he never stops learning. Easter recalled serving on a faculty search committee early on in his career, when a senior faculty member asked, “Will this person make us better?” Easter said it was then he realized the focus should be on how the unit as a whole can improve. “And if somebody else was better than me, I’d learn from ‘em,” he said. Easter said he was also greatly influenced by senior commanders during his 20-year career as a military reserve officer. “You’ve got to get people to believe in what they’re doing, believe it and work together to keep building,” Easter said. Throughout his career Easter believes the core principles that guided him stemmed from the University’s values, which allowed ordinary people, as he considers himself, to do extraordinary things.
“This place has an incredible level of integrity. It has an incredible level of collaboration,” Easter said. Kaler said not only will she and other faculty miss Easter’s leadership but also the fresh harvest he brought from his farm into the office every fall. “He’s just the kindest person I’ve ever met,” Kaler said. As his time as a University leader comes to an end, Easter said he’s looking forward to helping Presidentelect Timothy Killeen fill his shoes. Although he is concerned by the University’s financial challenges, he is sure it will weather the storm. “I’m an optimist, and I have confidence that whatever challenges there are we will pull through, and the University of Illinois, at the end of the day, will be a better place,” he said. “I’m absolutely confident 20, 30 years from now when you come back, you’ll still come back and be very proud of Illinois and the University of Illinois.”

Donald Trump forming 2016 presidential exploratory committee Add Donald Trump to the list — seriously this time. The billionaire entrepreneur and showman announced Wednesday he’s forming an exploratory committee to help him decide whether he will run for president in 2016. Calling himself “the only one who can make America truly great again,”
Trump joins a growing list of almost a dozen Republicans who are actively exploring 2016 bids for the White House. In recent months, Trump has traveled to Iowa and South Carolina, and this week he’ll head to New Hampshire to meet with local small-business owners and veterans.
Haiti President asks United Nations to pause withdraw of some troops Haiti President Michel Martelly has reiterated his call for the U.N. Security Council to halt a planned withdrawal of military peacekeeping troops from several regions of the country in the coming months. In a letter dated March
9 and cited by several nations Wednesday, Martelly asked for the global body to “implement a pause in the process of the draw down of the military component” of the U.N. Stabilization Peacekeeping Mission.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon to create hotline for reporting racist incidents The national leaders of the embattled Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity plan to create a confidential hotline for reporting racist incidents such as the chant that thrust the group’s University of Oklahoma chapter into the spotlight, fraternity officials said Wednesday. The hotline was part of a package of new diversity ini-

el by Amtrak to both campus departments, said Cathy Young, the office’s travel representative. Young said the office’s main responsibility is to highlight the benefits of using Amtrak to employees who are looking for reimbursements or cheaper traveling options. “We could make it more visible to people who go to look at the travel reimbursement website and also reach out in other ways to the people who may potentially be driving a lot between the campuses,” Klein-Banai said. “Let them know that this is a more sustainable form of transportation as long as you can make it work with your scheduling.”
AMTRAK tee brought up the idea that using it is cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Employees can receive reimbursements for traveling via airplane, car or train, Klein-Banai said, and when it comes to the Amtrak, even first-class seats are cheaper than driving a car. “There may be reasons why it doesn’t work for some travelers, and obviously there’s lots of consideration when deciding how one is traveling and we just want to make sure everybody is aware of this option,” KleinBanai said.

Abundance of University spring break trips helpful to students
As
students of the University, we love Illinois. However, we can’t say we always love the bitter cold winters and the view of endless miles of flat farmland that stretch across either side of I-57. Exposure to new places is a welcome change once in a while, and with spring break rapidly approaching, we felt it appropriate to commend the University on its abundance of opportunities to allow students to experience the world outside of Champaign-Urbana. Being young, knowledge-hungry students, there is really no better time to take advantage of travel experiences than now. After graduation, there is the looming fear of the “real world� and the time-sucking, full-time careers that (hopefully) come with it. In other words, travel might not be quite as feasible for a while. But with so many programs available to University students — regardless of season — there are plenty of options for students with a case of the travel bug. In late February, The Daily Illini reported national averages indicate that the percentage of college students who study abroad has increased 150 percent in the last decade. From short-term to long-term trips, there’s no shortage on chances for students to experience different states, countries and cultures. Students tend to go abroad later in their college careers, and generally for shorter periods of time. For 2012-2013, the most popular abroad locations were Europe at 43 percent, followed by Asia at 22 percent and the United States at 10 percent. Looking at this upcoming spring break in particular, University students are eligible to participate in Illinois Alternative Seasonal Break trips, which will go to Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Louisiana and New Mexico. They will also include service projects dealing with energy conservation, youth development, environmental restoration, wildlife and more. What is so beneficial about these trips is that the money spent to go seems well worth the actual work and experiences that happen while there. For instance, it’s one thing to talk about energy conservation in a classroom, and another to actually go to a new community and work to reduce carbon emissions by installing compact fluorescent light bulbs into New Orleans homes. Another really great example is the Civil Rights Pilgrimage spring break trip, partly funded by University housing, that includes a week of stops at locations that will teach students more about the Civil Rights Movement — an experience you inevitably cannot get in a classroom. By no means are lengthy study abroad journeys or even shortterm trips viable for every student, and we do not intend to simply advertise these opportunities. We realize that time, money and other factors limit some students from experiencing these trips, and that is completely justified. Rather, for other students who do want these experiences, we appreciate the multitude of venues the University has opened for students to do a little (or a lot of) traveling to gain memories and experiences outside of the classroom.
Outcry against editorial unfounded BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist
If
you’ve been reading the paper (or maybe just your Facebook feed), surely you’ve noted the contentious issues arising out of The Daily Illini’s editorial published on Tuesday concerning racism and its role on the University’s campus. Before this gets out of hand, let me be crystal clear: I do not work for The Daily Illini’s editorial board. I wrote this column on my own initiative. The brief editorial featured a picture of the Delta Chi fraternity house here on campus last May with a Confederate flag in the window and went on to mention various instances in which racism seems to exist all over campus, including a separate incident at Delta Chi involving the image of a Native American chief gutting a gopher. The editorial was immediately received by many people, some in the Greek community, as an assault. Hateful comments began to spread all over the Daily Illini’s Facebook page and independent blog sites alike. One person said: “The (Confederate) flag represents states’ rights ... Pick up a history book and stop being so sensitive.� Yes, that flag did stand for states’ rights, but not exclu-
sively. It also stood for a country whose core principle was the enslavement of an entire race of humans. You tell me which of those is more impactful. Many of those who took issue with the editorial also argued for freedom of speech, stating that the flag was protected under the First Amendment. Sure, that’s true. What the flag does not have, however, is immunity to social criticism. I could get a deeply offensive tattoo on my forehead, and it would be protected under free speech — but that still doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t look like a jackass and that it wouldn’t warrant criticism. Perhaps the most troubling response to the editorial came from a certain Greek publication on campus, with a title that read: “Why Greeks Can’t Escape Racism.� In the post, the author suggests the criticism placed on students in the Greek system in the original editorial was a type of scapegoating meant to degrade the nature of Greek culture. Let us be perfectly clear here: The person who cannot “escape racism� in this situation is not Delta Chi, nor is it our University’s Greek system. The person who cannot “escape racism� is the black student who walks past that flag on her way to class. It’s the kid who was taught in history class the values behind the flag itself — and then actually sees that flag
proudly displayed for all to see. It’s the Native American student who walks past someone on the Quad wearing a racist Unofficial shirt. Is it really that contentious of an issue to say the Confederate flag is deplorable in 2015? No. It’s not. Any use of the Confederate flag is disgusting, whether it is hanging in a fraternity or in a dorm room, like the one that was supposedly hanging in a Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Hall dorm last year. If someone had sent the picture of the flag in PAR, the reaction would have been the same. To those members of Delta Chi or any other individuals who chose to hang a vivid reminder of one of America’s most brutal periods in their bedroom window, you could have just come out and taken responsibility and vowed to do better. But you didn’t. It took a while for someone to turn in a picture, but they did. No amount of blog posts or Facebook comments can distract from this. No one is denying that racism is everywhere — the editorial on Tuesday explicitly stated that racist behavior extended “beyond fraternities or isolated groups.� I’m not sure if all those bloggers and commenters just happened to miss that line, but it certainly seems like a convenient thing to leave out when attempting to defend your community’s actions. Despite any differing opinions that might come from
Want to weigh in on the issue? Share your thoughts with us by visiting our website and filling out a letter to the editor form to let us know your opinion. the editorial, what’s undeniably true is the declining cohesion in the racial makeup of the University. Last semester, only 356 AfricanAmerican freshmen enrolled at the University — falling 144 students shy of the incoming class of AfricanAmerican freshman in the fall of 1968, when “Project 500� began to take place. I’m not saying that hanging Confederate flags from a fraternity or a dormitory window is responsible for this increased segregation on campus — it’s not. What I am saying, however, is that defending a racist flag instead of taking responsibility for it certainly isn’t helping. For those who are responsible for any of the racist acts represented in the editorial, Greek or not, just own up to your mistakes so we can all move on — and then if you have some spare time, maybe read about the connotations that flag holds in a history book, if we’re still throwing that line around. Thanks.

Spending break in tropical C-U CARLY CHARLES Opinions columnist
S
pring break is a collegiate phenomenon that has always puzzled me. After weeks of trying, tiring midterms, the last thing I want is to be surrounded by messes of annoying, intoxicated people underneath a baking, boiling sun. This spring break will provide me with the unique opportunity to avoid these aforementioned pet peeves while still inhabiting a magical, deserted-island environment. Due to conflicts with break and an academic commitment, I won’t be traveling to any sort of faraway paradise. While a good number of University students will spend next week exposing themselves to dangerous levels of ultraviolet rays probably forgetting to lather on their SPF 50 and drinking God-knowswhat from probably unclean coconut shells. I’m going to spend spring break 2k15 in the most tropical of paradises: the deserted island of Champaign-Urbana. And with this column, I’m here to tell you that the mid-
west, non-tropical grass can be just as green with the proper, satirical mind-set.
1. Leisurely accommodations For those of you who follow my column with any amount of regularity, I wrote a few weeks back about the very pesky chihuahua who lives on the floor below me. For those who don’t follow my column (though I don’t know why on earth you wouldn’t!), I’ll say briefly that this aforementioned canine has a nasty little habit of barking and squealing at a high decibel at all hours of the night. Although I can’t say for sure, there’s a good chance that he and his equally pesky owners will be gone from my life for a week. The additional (and currently, severely lacking) sleep that will be had as a result of this will be a party in itself.
2. Quality cuisine There’s been countless posts and Buzzfeed articles expressing outrage and unfortunate sympathy at the ceaselessly long and painful lines at Chipotle. I don’t know if it’s occurred to anybody yet, but with a large chunk of campus’s population gone for the week, the line at the campus Chipotle will be empty. Nonexistent. Nothing. That’s right — it’s going to be dinner rush
hour on a Friday night, and I’ll be served a savory, coveted burrito with an amount of haste that rivals the Jimmy John’s “Freaky Fast� delivery promise. I know you must be jealous.
3. The long winter months have made me too pasty for neon If you Google “Spring Breakers,� or something along that vein, you’ll see an assortment of young people sporting neon everything — and I mean everything. Whether it be an ill-fitted visor, muscle tee or fanny pack (yes, a fanny pack), it’s most likely going to be neon. Neon symbolizes the vitality of youth, and the “YOLO� culture today’s youth advocates for and embraces. That’s great, but I’m an arbitrary mixture of various European heritages, all of which, for some reason, are almost incapable of making a tan possible. Here on the desert island of C-U, I don’t have to follow the trend and neon it up. I can be posh and pale in my sweatpants. YOLO.
4. Health perks While we’re on the melanin subject: It’s great to get a tan, but skin damage and overexposure to UV rays are certainly not qualifying traits of a rager in my book! As I sit in
my eight-by-ten prison cell of an apartment bedroom reading Flaubert and receiving no exposure to the sun, my skin will maintain its porcelain, skim-milk-esquely pale hue. By medieval Europe, anybody-with-a-tan-who-worksunder-the-sun-and-must-below-class standards, I’m a coveted asset.
5. Time to recharge my energies for the second half of the Spring 2015 semester While I’m in not-Cancun, not partying myself into oblivion and not breaking my bank account, I’ll be preparing for the remainder of the semester and making plans to better budget my time in order to assure you, dear reader, that I have the time and means to write more snarky columns such as this one. Truly, this noble cause is worth the sacrifice of sunburn and increased risk of self-induced memory loss. So, fellow Champaign/midwest-stranded students, fret not that you’re missing out on a week rife with YOLO-esque debauchery; clearly, there is alternate (read: far superior!) fun to be had, right here on the deserted University campus.

Spring break opportunities used to learn, volunteer BY LIZ JASSIN STAFF WRITER
Some University students are using their spring break to take trips around the United States to learn about historical events, build houses for those in need and educate themselves through service.
Civil Rights Pilgrimage This year, 52 students will travel on the annual U of I Civil Rights Pilgrimage, where they’ll visit museums and historical places around the southern United States. University Housing helps fund the trip, so students pay around $320, depending on whether they live in a Living-Learning Community. During part of the trip in Atlanta, students will have the opportunity to meet Rev. Dr. Bernard Lafayette, Jr. about his experiences as a freedom rider in Selma, Alabama. Lafayette has met with University students on the trip for the last five years. In previous years, the trip has followed the life of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., starting where he was born and ending where he died, said January Boten, area coordinator Ikenberry North Residence Halls. This year the pilgrimage will start in Greensboro, North Carolina, where the trip will begin with a visit to the International Civil Rights Center and Museum. “My hope is that the trip inspires people to have a framework to be able to make changes for whatever cause is important to them,� Boten said. “I feel like civil rights movements is the best example in the United States of people who were very unhappy and wanted there to be changes and them coming up with a solution for how to make those changes, and it working.�

DUALITY Without having been here for even a year, he said he understands parties are a significant aspect of American culture, specifically on a college campus. “I think American culture is different because there’s lots of activities to do and lots of parties. ... I had never done that before,� Wang said. “Traditions like Unofficial — those are interesting.� Although he did not participate in Unofficial activities, Wang said the culture is much more social, in general, than Chinese culture, which has allowed him to meet many different types of people during his time in the U.S. According to Fang, Chinese people are also notorious introverts, occasionally making it difficult to branch out from one another in strictly social settings. But for dining, campus boasts a wide selection of authentic Asian restaurants; Fang said he frequents Cravings each week. Fang added that the American intake of cheese is overwhelming to him and other Chinese students, as most of them are lactose-intolerant because cheese is rarely used in Chinese dishes. But he does admit to loving Mexican food and deep-dish pizza. Despite the cultural dif-

Students have many volunteer options on Spring Break. ferences, Fang said he’s been able to adjust to the American and campus way of life due to the support system on campus. “It’s easy in my department because there are a lot of Chinese students, so I spend all day speaking Chinese,� he said. “I came to America to experience the American life; I can speak Chinese at home. I’d like to see more students from other parts of the world.� Yeye Zheng, freshman in DGS, said she takes comfort in the fact that she is able to speak Chinese during the day. “I think it’s good to be with people from the same country,� she said, “Because it’s sometimes easier to communicate.� But she and Fang also like to go beyond their comfort zones — Fang has been able to expand his friend group by joining the Flippin’ Illini Gymnastics Club, a registered student organization, He said he is proud to be the only Chinese student in the group. “It’s party first, and gymnastics second,� he joked. Through the club and its social aspects, Fang has become more adjusted to the American way of life by surrounding himself with people he isn’t normally exposed to. Now, he has a group of Chinese friends and a group of American friends.
“My Chinese friends like to go out for Chinese meals and then study, or go into the city because they have cars,� Fang said. “My American friends would rather sit and hang out in the apartment, and I like that better.� He credits his American friend group with why he feels he is an integrated member of the Illini community. Wang, Zheng and Fang will each stay in the U.S. for spring break due to the amount of time and money it costs to return to home. They each said they hope to stay for the summer, as well, and take on engineering internships. Fang admits he does not miss his family too much, except during important holidays. “I wasn’t able to celebrate the Chinese New Year this year because I had two exams,� he said. “My family was at a festival, and that was hard.� Once he was finished with his exams, he celebrated the success and the New Year by eating dumplings and watching his favorite Chinese TV shows on YouTube. Despite wanting to be surrounded by a different culture, Fang occasionally finds reasons to appreciate the means of comfort that is always necessary when being in a foreign place.
of Social Work. “I’m right now finishing up 40 years as a social worker,� Ackerson said. “So the fact that it would come right now is very meaningful to me. Being a social worker has meant a lot to me and to have the acknowledgement from my peers that, ‘After 40 years, we think you have done it.’� Ackerson’s work ethic and dedicated, humble approach to his craft makes him more deserving of the Lifetime Achievement award from the NASW, according to Garrison. “He does amazing work,� Garrison said. “He doesn’t do it for any accolades. I am honored to be able to be a part of his career ... to be a colleague
and friend.� Now coming full circle in his career in social work as first a clinician then department head turned teacher, Ackerson has had no other goal but to inspire the next generation of social workers to answer the call to continue the practice of social work. “I would describe the third part of my career as developing the next generation of social workers and that honestly gives me the biggest reward of anything,� he said. “That I can see people I have worked with ... who are now people leading the way about going out and making the world a better place and helping people.�

High diversity creates comforts and setbacks for international students BY RACHEL BASS STAFF WRITER
Y
angwentao Fang, junior in Engineering, has spent the last four years in the United States. He had dreamed of visiting the U.S. since middle school, and when his high school in Hunan, China, offered a foreign exchange program for his senior year, Fang jumped at the opportunity. During his first year spent in Tucson, Arizona, he began searching for colleges with the best engineering programs and, eventually, landed at the University. “I wasn’t nervous because I was really, really excited,� he said. “I didn’t see anything (as) scary because I was ready for new things.�
While Fang had been in the U.S. before the start of college, other Chinese students come to the U.S. for the first time as University students. In fact, Chinese students make up half of the total international student population — approximately 22 percent of the total student body. But Fang believes the number of Chinese international students on campus is a means of both comfort and hindrance for those students. “Chinese students want to adjust to the American way and engage in American activities,� he said. “But it’s hard for them to find the opportunity because most of them are afraid to talk to Americans and don’t know what they would talk about.� The University has brought in a
large amount of international students in recent years, in light of cuts to state funding. Tuition for international students ranges from $31,626 to $38,764, which is considerably higher than Illinois residents’ tuition range of $15,636 to $20,640 in the 2015-2016 school year. Over the past decade, many universities have opened admission offices in China, as exemplified by the University’s Shanghai office opening in December 2013. This past year, approximately 600 Chinese students were admitted, making up 10 percent of the Class of 2018. A major factor that contributes to feeling comfortable in America, according to Fang, is the notion that foreigners are often more in tune with American culture than U.S. residents are with other countries. Fang listed watching American news stations and shows, such as “House of Cards� and “Game of Thrones,� as ways that allowed him
to learn about English and American culture quickly, while also providing him with topics of conversation with his American friends. However, Fang said that he came to school in America in order to learn about the culture, not to continue his Chinese one. Even though it’s been over four years since he came to the U.S., Fang said there are significant cultural differences between the two countries that he still isn’t fully used to, including food, social scenes and American perceptions and thought processes. “Americans think certain things are funny that Chinese people don’t,� Fang said. “They also like parties, and it is not in Chinese culture to have parties unless they are for big celebrations.� Haoyu Wang, freshman in DGS, first came to America in August.

Professor recognized for lifetime dedication to social work BY NATALIE STEWART CONTRIBUTING WRITER
On March 25, the East Central District of the National Association of Social Workers will recognize one from the University. Barry Ackerson, associate professor in Social Work and associate dean for academic affairs, will receive the 2015 Illinois NASW Lifetime Achievement Award for the East Central District to honor his work and dedication to the fields of social work and mental health, according to a press release from the district’s website. Ackerson first realized his passion for helping others during his senior year at the University of Alabama while working at the Boy’s Club in
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in the 1970s. A sociology and psychology major as an undergraduate, Ackerson joined a Vista program entitled “University for Action,� which enabled him to work at the club four days a week and earn college credit at the same time. “That (experience working at the Boy’s Club) helped me to understand that the studying of people in society and social problems wasn’t just an abstract thing, a theoretical thing,� Ackerson said. “It was something that I actually could become involved in, helping people day to day.� His experience working at the Boy’s Club introduced him to the field of social work and ignited his passion for
helping others that would eventually become his life’s work. Since his days working as a clinician as a psychiatric social worker, Ackerson has transitioned to training the next generation of social workers while conducting research and publishing journals about mental health. Despite his active work in the field of social work, Ackerson finds that one of the most rewarding parts of his career was his ability to inspire his students and give them tools to apply to the real world in the field. “I’ve had a number of times when people will walk up to me at the end of their internship or they’ve been working for a year or two,
and they come up to me and go, ‘Wow, that stuff I learned in your class is just so useful right now,’� Ackerson said. “To know that I’ve impacted people that way makes a difference.� Colleagues and friends alike attest to Ackerson’s unmatched dedication to his profession both as a professor and active social worker. Mary Garrison, one of Ackerson’s former students turned colleague and fellow NASW board member, explained Ackerson’s work ethic as “second to none.� “He really allowed me to see the field of mental health and the importance of the work,� said Garrison, who

Illinois’ Kelsi Eberly performs a routine on the floor during the match against Penn State at Huff Hall on February 1.
The Illinois baseball team might not play South Florida very often, but memorable moments seem to happen when the two teams meet. The Illini secured their first win and series sweep with head coach Dan Hartleb at the helm in 2006 when they travelled to Tampa Bay, Florida, to take on the Bulls. USF took its revenge the last time the two teams met, with a 12-3 win in 2010 to tie the all-time series at four. Hartleb must have realized the importance of Illinois’ (15-4-1) final threegame series before Big Ten play commences when he

Breaking down the NCAA tournament bracket ELI SCHWADRON College hoops columnist
Is
there a better feeling in the world than printing and filling out that very first bracket each year on Selection Sunday? It’s like tearing open presents on Christmas morning. After that initial euphoria, it’s likely that you spend the next three days secondguessing yourself, crafting countless pick combinations and ultimately deciding on what you believe to be your ticket to the top of the bracket pool standings. During this stage you’ll ask yourself questions like, “Did I pick the right number of upsets? How many 15 seeds have beaten 2 seeds in NCAA history? Where the heck is Wofford College?� You’re so locked in that you might avoid social outings, miss homework assignments and have nightmares about Jahlil Okafor matching up against your intramural squad. But that’s all just a part of the Madness.
And everyone has a different method to the Madness. Whether your bracket is upset-heavy, all chalk or some blend of the two, one thing’s for sure: You’ll be glued to CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV through the next couple of weeks. The NCAA tournament kicked off Tuesday and Wednesday with the four play-in games, but the real action begins Thursday. Let’s take a look at some of the more intriguing storylines from each region.
Midwest The Midwest is arguably this year’s most stacked region. It boasts No. 1 overall seed Kentucky, the overwhelming favorite to win it all. The Wildcats are the obvious choice to make the Final Four in Indianapolis, but there’s also a lot to like about the other 15 teams that make up the top left portion of the bracket. M ar yla nd probably deserved better than a No. 4 seed, but that’s where the Terrapins landed after a terrific Big Ten debut. Led by freshman point guard Melo Trimble, the Terps should
handle Valparaiso on Friday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio. I like Buffalo upsetting West Virginia in the 12-5 matchup, so the Terps might catch a break by facing two double-digit seeds en route to a Sweet Sixteen matchup with the aforementioned Wildcats. But that’s likely where the road ends for Mark Turgeon’s bunch.
East Villanova captured the No. 1 seed in the East region, and the “other Wildcats� are another popular pick to reach Indy. But there are a couple lower seeds that I wouldn’t overlook, either. Don’t sleep on Michigan State at that No. 7 seed. It’s no secret that Tom Izzo’s favorite month of the year is March. The Spartans nearly capped off their season with a Big Ten tournament championship, losing to Wisconsin in the final. The fact that Michigan State even made it there is proof it should be taken seriously in the Big Dance. We’ll see if Branden Dawson, Denzel Valentine, Travis Trice

WRESTLING ifier bids at the Big Ten Championships and sophomore Steven Rodrigues earned an at-large bid from the NCAA selection committee on March 11. The nine automatic qualifiers is the most the Illini have had since 2009, when they fi nished second at the Big Ten championships and eighth at the NCAA tournament. Illinois enters this year’s national championships ranked sixth in the nation according to W.I.N. Magazine’s Tournament Power Index, but both the wrestlers and the coaches believe that the Illini may still be a bit overlooked as a serious team-championship contender. “The team that’s going to win this year in St. Louis is going to have to do very well on the back side of the bracket,” assistant coach Mark Perry said. “If our guys can fi nish their last few matches as strong as possible, the individuals and the team have a great chance at doing very well.” The Big Ten championships were indication of Illinois wrestlers’ ability to make a run in the consolation bracket.

even went on to place third in his weight class after losing to the eventual Big Ten champion Jason Tsirtsis of Northwestern in the fi rst round. “We’re obviously a better tournament team than dual team,” Perry said. “Our whole motto this year has been about St. Louis and we believe we can compete with anyone. If you can put two guys in the fi nals, you’re in the title hunt.” Putting two wrestlers in the fi nals is a very realistic goal for the Illini this weekend. After winning the Big Ten title at 157 pounds and compiling a 30-0 record, freshman Isaiah Martinez has earned the No. 1 overall seed in his weight class and aims to be the last wrestler standing come Saturday’s fi nal round. “After putting in work my redshirt year, fi nally getting into the action this season and now becoming the top guy going into nationals, it’s just been awesome,” Martinez said. “I look forward to having a really good tournament.” “Isaiah just keeps getting better with every match,” head coach Jim Heffernan added. “He knows what he needs to do to win.” All the excitement surrounding Martinez has seemed to overshadow the fact that senior Jesse Delgado with be attempting to claim his third-consecutive NCAA title and fourth
All-American honor. If he succeeds, Delgado would be the fi rst wrestler in Illinois history to accomplish both feats. Despite suffering a shoulder injury that shortened his season, both the coaches and Delgado believe he still has a legitimate chance for a three-peat. “The Big Ten tournament was good for Jesse,” Heffernan said. “He got to be in the tournament format and face good competition for the fi rst time this season. He’s extremely wellconditioned and he’s starting to wrestle at his best.” “ My goals haven’t changed,” Delgado added. “If I didn’t want to win, I just wouldn’t wrestle.” Zane Richards (No. 5), Jackson Morse (No. 9) and Zac Brunson (No.11) round out the list of Illini seeded for the opening round of the NCAA tournament. The rest of the Illinois wrestling team, including Delgado, will enter the championships unseeded. Despite having a difficult path ahead, the wrestlers and the coaches said they’re prepared for the challenge and plan on having individuals atop the podium. “They just have to believe,” Perry said. “If we focus on ourselves and do our part, we’ll be right there.”
ny Kato and junior Giana O’Connor. That number is second-most in the conference behind Michigan, which has four. Lyons also said Illinois’ goal for Saturday is to make the podium, which she thinks is realistic. But she also said that for the Illini to do so will involve more than just hitting all 24 of their routines, and Eberly agreed. “As a whole, hitting to the best of our abilities,” Eberly said. “Not just going out there and hitting routines, but doing it the best that we can.” Eberly and Lyons saw
improvements in Illinois’ landings at the Big Five Meet, a detail the gymnasts have been continuously focusing on, but head coach Kim Landrus emphasized that focus must be carried into Saturday’s meet. “We had some little things that were off here and there,” Landrus said. “We know that we’re going to have to continue to stick to the plan and make everything as precise as possible in order to be up there at the top of Big Ten.”
like usual,” McInerney said. “I think if we get one or two bigger hits, those games get stretched out and they’re not as tight. Hitting with runners in scoring position is our biggest thing to work with.” As of Tuesday, USF will come to Champaign riding an eight-game winning streak. Like Illinois, the Bulls rely on a solid pitching staff — they are 68th in the nation with a 3.35 team ERA and have allowed just three runs in their last three games. At the plate, they are led by the brother duo of Levi and Luke Borders who have combined for five homeruns and 35 RBI so far this season. With these games being some of the fi nal opportunities to tune up for Big Ten competition, Hartleb said he just wants to stick to the script that has gotten the Illini this far. “We don’t ever change anything,” Hartleb said. “It anapolis. The Wildcats’ (how crazy would it be if three teams with Wildcat mascots reached the Final Four?) freshman sensation Stanley Johnson averages 14.1 points and 6.6 boards per game.

Women’s track and field to open outdoor season BY ALEX WALLNER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s track and field team will compete this weekend in Tempe, Arizona, at the Baldy Castillo Invitational. This meet marks the beginning of a two-month long race to the Big Ten Outdoor Championships. Illinois is coming off a ninth-place fi nish out of 14 teams at the Big Ten Indoor Championships just two weeks ago and is looking for a good start to the outdoor season. Nine other teams will compete this weekend. Three of them come into the outdoor season ranked in the USTFCCCA top 25 — No. 4-ranked defending outdoor national champion Texas A&M, No. 21 host Arizona State and No. 25 Oklahoma. Distance coach Scott Jones thinks this is an opportunity for the athletes who didn’t have an opportunity during the indoor season to compete against some of the country’s best athletes. “We are starting our outdoor season one week earlier this year,” Jones said. “The principle reason is to jump start the season for those individuals who didn’t have a chance to compete
during the indoor season, either because they only had eligibility for the outdoor season or because their events aren’t contested indoors.” Jones said the team is especially happy to see senior Amanda Duvendack back on the track competing in the 800 meter. Duvendack is one of the individuals who was not eligible to compete during the indoor season and is entering her fi fth and fi nal outdoor season. She is not the only one who Jones is particularly happy to watch compete. Senior Mariah Smith and sophomore Jazjuan Wallace-Sipp are looking for strong performances coming off breakout outdoor seasons in the discus a year ago. “Mariah did the weight throw indoors, but the discus is her natural event,” Jones said. “We also get a chance to see where we are in the 400-meter hurdles. Pedrya Seymour and Samone Thompson will both be running in that event for the fi rst time as Illini.” Those coming off good indoor seasons include pole vaulters, Stephanie Richartz and Jennifer DeBellis, high jumper Kandie Block-Jones and distance
runners Alyssa Schneider and Nicole Choquette. Choquette is coming off her fi rst Big Ten Indoor championship in the 600 meter as a sophomore and is trying to continue with the grind of a season. She will partner with Duvendack in the 800 meter this weekend, which Jones believes will be a strong group. “Choquette wasn’t on anybody’s radar at the start of the indoor season,” Jones said. “We look forward to seeing who else will emerge from the shadows this outdoor season.” Last year’s outdoor season was not one that sophomore Bloch-Jones was expecting, but still earned second place honors in the high jump at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships. This year, Bloch-Jones hopes to have a stronger outdoor season, especially since she is aiming for a bid to the NCAA Outdoor Championships. “I am just trying to work harder and focus on my take off to get my hips up to clear the bar,” BlochJones said. “I am mainly just focusing on getting to where I can be.”

Women’s tennis ready for Northwestern match BY JONATHAN JOFFE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Despite historical trends not favoring the Illini, there’s lots of confidence within the Illinois women’s tennis program, which takes its recent success into Evanston, Ill., on Friday to face in-state rival Northwestern. The Illini are coming off of a 4-3 victory over South Florida, which brought them to 7-4 on the season. Getting off to a hot start and picking up the doubles point were crucial for Illinois in its match against USF this past weekend in Tampa, Fla. Last week, before their road trip, Illinois head coach Michelle Dasso emphasized doubles and starting off fast against USF as key to a win. While the Illini wish to start fast against Northwestern as well, getting into a rhythm has been the main focus for the Illini in practice this week. “We’re focusing on execution right now and hitting a lot of balls to get in a rhythm,” sophomore Louise Kwong said. “Northwestern is not having a good season,
so we know that if we play our game we will win.” Kwong added that the team is confident after coming off of a win this past weekend outdoors and away from home. As a result, Kwong said, the players are not afraid to walk into Evanston and pick up a win. Dasso stressed playing smart against Northwestern. With the Wildcats having a down year statistically — they are 5-4 overall — Dasso also feels that this is a Northwestern team that Illinois can beat. Last season, the Wildcats, ranked No. 8 in the country at the time, defeated the Illini 7-0 at Atkins Tennis Center. “We just have to go out there and make (Northwestern) play,” Dasso said. “We don’t have to be flashy, just have to cut down on unforced errors.” Along with the growing confidence of the Illini, the team expects to have some extra support against Northwestern to help lead it to a victory. With a majority of the Illinois women’s tennis players being from the Chicagoland area, the
Illini anticipate a big crowd of family in friends to neutralize some of the Wildcats’ home-court advantage. “This match means a lot to us, maybe more personally because we’re playing close to home,” sophomore Alexis Casati said. “A lot of our family will be there, so we are really excited.” Casati felt that it was simply not the Illini’s day when they faced Northwestern last year, her freshman season. After seeing how the Wildcats matched up against teams Illinois has already faced this year — both teams beat Indiana and lost to Ohio State — Casati believes her team has a good shot at winning. Despite her team’s confidence, Dasso has told her players this match won’t be easy for the Illini. “Oh, they’ll be ready, they’ll be fi red up for us,” Dasso said of Northwestern. “It’s a night match on their home court, and they had a 10-day break, so they’ll be rested and ready to go.”

Mathis returns to Detriot Lions Rashean Mathis had a handful of suitors in NFL free agency, but he made it clear from the start that if he didn’t return to the Detroit Lions, he probably would retire. Mathis, who turns 35 in August, agreed to a twoyear deal worth $3.5 million to return to the Lions for a third season Wednesday. His contract includes a $1-million signing bonus. Arguably the Lions’ best cornerback last year, Mathis started all 16 games, had one interception and
was a big influence on second-year cornerback Darius Slay, who took a major step forward in 2014. In January, Mathis said he still felt he had a few years left to play and wanted them to be in Detroit. “He’s very happy,” said Doug Hendrickson, Mathis’ agent. “He really didn’t want to go anywhere. He wanted to be in Detroit. He loves everything from the organization, top down. Loves coach (Jim) Caldwell, loves being a mentor to a lot of the young guys and really is in a good place in his life, professionally, and just loves everything about the Lions.
Cowboys sign Hardy for 1 year IRVING, Texas — After tip-toeing through the fi rst week of free agency with some bargain-basement signings, the Dallas Cowboys fi nally made a bold move that should dramatically improve the team in 2015 with the signing of former Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy. Though Hardy didn’t garner the major dollars from the disciplined and fiscally-conscious Cowboys — signing a one-year, prove-it deal — it’s a controversial move at best
because of his off-the-field issues. Hardy is on the NFL commissioner’s exempt list because of a 2014 domestic violence charge. The case was eventually dropped because the victim refused to cooperate with authorities after reportedly receiving a fi nancial settlement from Hardy. The NFL is doing its own independent investigation, and he could face further discipline of a four-to-six game suspension this season. Hardy played in one game last season before going on the commissioner’s exempt list for the fi nal 15 games.
Pierce released by Ravens for DUI The Ravens released backup running back Bernard Pierce following his arrest early Wednesday morning on charges of driving under the influence. Pierce was informed of his release Wednesday afternoon by general manager Ozzie Newsome, according to a source. According to charging documents, Pierce indicated after his arrest Wednesday that he thought he might get quickly released by the team. “Do you know what
happened the last time a Ravens player got a DUI,” Pierce asked when en route to the precinct, according to the charging documents. “I’m getting cut tomorrow, not like you care.” This marks the third arrest of a Ravens player this offseason, and the eighth arrest of a Ravens player during the past year. The other two players arrested this offseason — nose tackle Terrence Cody (felony animal cruelty and misdemeanor drug charges) and cornerback Victor Hampton (driving under the influence) — were quickly released from the team.

No horsin’ around for the Illini Equestrians Club offers opportunities for riders to learn, compete BY EMMA MCGOWEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Some people don’t believe that horseback riding is a sport, but those who have ridden at least once in their life know that’s not true. Horseback riding doesn’t include trail riding — the kind of riding you do in a national park on vacation — due to the fact that the horses are trained to follow each other and little effort is required by the rider. Trail riding is simple and is not considered a sport. The members of Illini Equestrians know that the hard work, long hours, physical and mental exertion, strength and dedication they consistently put into working with horses qualifies horseback riding as a sport. “It takes just as much commitment, (it’s) just a different kind of sport and you need both physical and mental strength because you’re working with another living being that is a lot stronger than you,” junior Rachel Burke said. “There’s just as much physical effort and training as other sports to reach your goals and be competitive.” The English show team has 10 competitions per season, spread out in two seasons: October-November and February-March. The Western show team had four competitions throughout October
and November this year. Coach Terrie Foreman travels with members of the English show team to St. Mary-of-the-Woods College in West Terre Haute, Ind., as well as Taylor University in Upland, Ind. The English show team focuses on Hunter Jumper, a multi-faceted competition that focuses partly on technical skill and partly on physical skill. The team members are required to take at least one lesson, either group or individual, to practice various skills that could be tested in the show. Even if there aren’t any competitions, it is believed that riders should go out at least once a week to continue to progress and advance their skills. With 10-12 horses specifically for the English show team, the students practice on different kinds of horses and adapt to new situations that can occur while riding. This is important because competitors do not get to choose which horse they ride. Instead, the students randomly pick a horse’s name out of a hat and are assigned to that horse for the competition, which makes it imperative for the riders to be adaptable to different horses and situations. Showing competitively, riding, or knowing anything about horses is not a requirement to join the club. Senior

President Brandi Burton, who is also the assistant English Show Team coach says the Illini Equestrians have roughly 75-90 members.
Brandi Burton, president and the assistant English show team coach, reported that there are between 75-90 students in the club, with 37 students on the English show team. For members who don’t
want to ride, there are numerous social events, fund-raisers and demonstrations that they can participate in and for members who do want to ride, but not compete — lessons are available at various levels of
experience. Although many might scoff at the idea of horseback riding as a sport, Burke is of a different mind. “(It) gives you an opportunity to try something different and working with horses
gives you a sense of independence (when you) bond with a creature that’s so much bigger than you (and) two minds become one.”

Illinois softball prepares to face Minnesota BY LAUREN MROZ STAFF WRITER
The Illinois softball team has historically been unsuccessful in Big Ten play, finishing with a losing-conference record in each of the past three seasons. Last year, the Illini finished 7-16 in the Big Ten. The stretch included an eight-game drought; however, head coach Terri Sullivan’s team did show a spark midway through conference play, when it took the first game of a three-game series against then-No. 4 Michigan. If the team doesn’t make changes quickly, this year’s Illinois team is on track to continue the struggling trend. The 8-16 Illini are in the midst of a five-game losing streak, including a 3-0 home loss to North Dakota State on Tuesday. The Illini will have an opportunity to reverse that trend when they host Minnesota this weekend at Eichelberger Field to kick off their conference season. While Illinois has struggled, No. 15 Minnesota is facing little obstacles. Since losing to No. 25 UAB, the 23-4 Golden Gophers have been on a nine-game win streak. Reigning Big Ten Pitcher of the Year and Minnesota sophomore Sara Groenewegen was named the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week for the third time this season. Groenewegen had three complete-game wins last weekend at the Fresno State Classic. She had a 0.64 ERA, allowing just 12 hits in 22 innings with 22 strikeouts. Groenewegen leads all Big Ten pitchers with an ERA of 0.96 and 155 strikeouts this season. She is fifth among NCAA D-I
pitchers with 14 victories. The Illini faced a similar situation Tuesday against NDSU junior Krista Menke, who pitched a complete-game shutout. Menke, who leads the nation in strikeouts, only allowed the Illini six hits. Although it will be a difficult opponent, Sullivan looks for her power hitters to keep her team competitive throughout the series. Junior Allie Bauch, sophomore Nicole Evans and freshman Carly Thomas all hit home runs for the Illini last weekend against Providence at the Stacy Winsberg Memorial Tournament. However, the Illini still struggled to knock runners in early in the game, stranding six runners in the first three innings. They left the bases loaded with no outs in the second. In last year’s matchup, Minnesota swept the three-game series, while Illinois scored its only three runs in the first game. Sullivan recognizes the challenge her team is facing this weekend. Regardless of the outcome, she sees opportunities for her team to gain confidence going into the Big Ten season. “Series wins are big in conference play,” Sullivan said. “We’re focusing right now on beating teams by managing innings and breaking it down inning-byinning and pitch-by-pitch. Every time there’s a challenge, there’s an opportunity. Series wins are the goal, but we really want to have goals of winning innings.”
