Crowdfunding helps students afford tuition

Frosting and friendship

BY DARRAH PERRYMAN STAFF WRITER

An acceptance letter to the University does not always equal attendance in the fall. For many, it comes down to dollars and cents, and if they don’t add up, the options can be slim.

As college tuition increases, many are prompted to find other means to pay for education. Crowdfunding websites allow individuals to request donations from friends and families for a

University spends over $60,000 in »litigation » » » » » »combined unions seeking BY ANDREW NOWAK STAFF WRITER

The University has spent over $60,000 in litigation against two recently formed faculty unions. According to a CFA Local #6546 press release, a FOIA request made in February showed the University spent over $48,000 against CFA Local #6546, the non-tenure track faculty union, and $13,000 against Uni Faculty Organization, the University Laboratory High School faculty union. “The University is responsible for being a good steward of our resources, so we work with outside counsel when that is the best approach for ensuring the University is able to operate in the most effi cient, effective manner,” said Robin Kaler, campus spokeswoman. Shawn Gilmore, CFA Local #6546 president and

lecturer of English, said the amount of money spent on the litigation thus far was not surprising and seems to be consistent with how much the University spends on paying law firms during union contract cycles. “It is in comparison to say, a salary, more than I make in a year,” Gilmore said. “Seems odd to me. You could’ve hired a whole other person for that amount of money.” According to the union’s press release, the University employed law firm Clark Baird Smith LLP in 2010, and paid the firm $315 per hour since May 1, 2014, to work on litigating the CFA Local #6546 case. CFA Local #6546 is represented by lawyers provided by the Illinois Federation of Teachers, IFT, which is a partner union of CFA Local #6546. The Illinois Federation of Teachers can pay

for representation because of dues that local unions pay into IFT as partner unions. In return, IFT provides resources, such as this legal counsel, that smaller unions couldn’t necessarily attain on their own. Gilmore said Local #6546 doesn’t collect dues yet, but once they do, they will also pay dues to IFT. Kaler said the University’s stance is the non-tenure track faculty and University High teachers should be represented by one union. The University appealed the individual certifications of both unions last year. In August 2014, the Fourth District Appellate Court of Illinois decided to hear both cases and consolidated them. In January, the court ruled that the two unions had the right to exist as separate entities. The University filed a petition to appeal the decision in the Illinois

Supreme Court on Feb. 24, Kaler said. Gilmore said the University’s decision to appeal the case again hasn’t affected collective bargaining. “It is clear that they are willing to take quite a lot of time on each step, though it is not contentious directly,” Gilmore said. “Everyone involved actually seems to be in fairly good spirits about it, but there seems to be very little expediency.” The University has made counterproposals to all of the union’s “non-economic” proposals, which means the University hasn’t yet proposed anything of its own in terms of salaries and benefits, Gilmore said. “The administrative team has started putting these caveats at the bottom of their proposals saying that they can add to, delete and

Sororities and fraternities are participating in the Greeks Go Green project, a competition held by Illinois Enactus to encourage houses to be more eco-friendly. Rebecca Zocher, co-project manager of the competition and sophomore in Business, said Greeks Go Green was created a few semesters ago by Enactus, an entrepreneurial organization work-

ing to make the world more sustainable. Zocher said Greeks Go Green promotes recycling while teaching Greek houses about different topics related to recycling, water conservation, energy, food waste, community improvement and everyday sustainability. Although the 15 participating Greek houses have recycling systems in place,

Boy rebuilding hope nearly a year after being shot, paralyzed BY GLENN E. RICE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Ka’Vyea Tyson-Curry’s grip tightens as he pulls his body from his wheelchair toward the walker positioned in front of him. With a quick upward thrust — and a little assist from his physical therapist — the 11-yearold boy stands. Silently, he counts. He reaches 17, 18, then 19. “I just beat my goal — 20 seconds,” he proclaims before plopping back into the wheelchair. “Next is 45 seconds.” Simple goals for a not-sosimple life. April marks a year since a gunman’s bullets ripped apart the lives of Ka’Vyea and his mother, Tanesha Tyson. Ka’Vyea and his dad had gone on a quick run April 18 to get candy and juice from a gas station. As Ka’Vyea’s dad slid back into his car, a gunman approached. Eight shots from a .40-caliber handgun poured into their vehicle. Of the three occupants, only a 5-year-old passenger escaped injury. Bullets mortally wounded 34-year-old Ka’Vyea Curry II. Another bullet sliced into the middle of young Ka’Vyea’s back, hitting his spine and paralyzing him from the mid-chest down. Hospitalized for the next three months, he missed his father’s funeral and the final weeks of fourth grade. He struggled against the ventilator and hated the tracheotomy and feeding tube. Authorities called the gunman’s actions swift and senselessly violent but have not revealed a motive. Prosecutors charged a suspect, 28-year-old Dontae D. Jefferson, with first-degree murder and five other felonies. A trial tentatively is set for April 13.

The problem is enacting. They are not acting to control those risk factors.” Roberts said it is possible for the restaurant to reopen in the future if they make the necessary changes to meet health standards.

As registration for the fall semester approaches, John Randolph, director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of History, is working to combat a decline in the enrollment of history courses. Randolph said there is a decline in the number of people enrolling in history classes, particularly the 100 and 400 level classes. The main reason for the decline in 100 level classes is many students are starting freshman year with advanced placement credit; enrollment in 400 level classes is down because fewer students are choosing to major in history, Randolph said. According to the Division of Management Information, the department has experienced a steady decline in enrollment since 2005. In the spring of 2015, 167 students were enrolled in the history department whereas in 2014, 207 students were enrolled. Ten years earlier, in 2005, 521

students were enrolled as history majors. In an attempt to increase enrollment, the history department recently surveyed approximately 1,000 students who are enrolled in history classes. The survey showed most students discovered history classes through the course catalogue. Randolph said members of the department think they may reach more students with more effective advertising. However, he said many students are taking history classes because of general education requirements. Jacob Frerichs, sophomore in AHS, is currently enrolled in HIST 247, Medieval Europe, because of a general education requirement. “I think what would make me want to take more history classes would be more advertisement of them, I don’t really hear anything about them,” Frerichs said. Randolph said the department is also interested in creating classes that will appeal to more students.

Ka’Vyea Tyson-Curry of Raytown, 11, takes a break with physical therapist Michele Ahern of The Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City on March 3 in Kansas City, Missouri. The shooting enraged a community already fed up with senseless and repeated violence. “Ka’Vyea’s experience is just one more tragic example of why we need to get guns out of the hands of criminals,” Mayor Sly James said recently. “Tenand 11-year-olds should be going to school, playing in parks, reading books and having fun with friends, not undergoing paralysis rehabilitation and mourning the loss of a father who he watched get shot and died in front of him.” Ka’Vyea dresses himself but needs his mother to put on the torso brace that provides upper body support and prevents him from slouching. Whenever he needs to use the restroom or get in the car, she carries him there.

“I just adjust to the situation,” said the fifth-grader. During a recent physical therapy session, Ka’Vyea got fitted for a pair of trial leg braces. Someday they could allow Ka’Vyea to maintain a standing balance, to become accustomed again to being upright, said Michele Ahern, his therapist at the Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City.As the therapy session ends, Ka’Vyea stretches out his arms and beckons his mother. She grins, walks over and leans close. Ka’Vyea wraps his arms around her and rests his head against her chest. They hug. When asked about what happened the night of the shooting, Ka’Vyea falls silent. No words come. He misses his father. He thinks about him

often. Vivid memories of the shooting still haunt him. Before that night, Ka’Vyea lived as a typical boy, frequently playing outside, running and riding his scooter with relatives and friends. He now deals with realities that rarely befall young boys. Every day, Ka’Vyea takes a regimen of medication to control his bladder, bowels and anxiety. “He doesn’t believe in God anymore because he said why would He have done that to him?” Tyson said. “I tell him that it wasn’t God that did that. It was the devil.” She reminds him too: “You are still here and you are still here for a reason _ to inspire somebody else who is going through the same thing.”

families have exhausted all resources and there aren’t any other options available to them,” said Charles Mayfield, associate director of the Office of Student Financial Aid. “Once all available options are exhausted, they’re exhausted. There’s no easy way to say that.” Mayfield said some families may not qualify for loans due to adverse credit, and some families want to avoid borrowing. While sites like GoFundMe and FundRazr offer individuals the opportunity to build their campaign, individuals must share it with friends and family to receive donations. Shorten said he credits his heavy social media presence to his success.

“There’s always going to be one person who logs on to Facebook that day and may not have seen your campaign before and share it — that could be the thing that starts it,” Shorten said. Shorten said he started a GoFundMe site in December when he was in the process of transferring to the University. He received $1,700 in donations to keep him in school. However, before his transcripts could be released from the previous institution he attended, Shorten had to pay his tuition bill and used GoFundMe to help generate the funds. Now, he is in a similar situation and has restarted his campaign on FundRazr to pay his $4,700

University tuition bill. In the social media age, users can receive donations through crowdfunding for just about anything, whether it’s to study or volunteer abroad, to buy a new car or even to raise money for a startup company. Katrice Perkins, sophomore in Media, said she used GoFundMe for an internship with a startup company. The company used the site to raise funds for equipment. “I think some people overuse it and try and do other things for it, though. But overall it’s a really good thing to do,” said Perkins. Perkins said she has seen her friends promote their campaigns on social media for study abroad trips in

GREEKS Zocher said, the competition is increasing the amount of recycling collected by the houses. Zocher said Enactus liked the idea of having their projects reach out to the Greek community because it’s an opportunity to impact a lot of people. Each Greek house signed a contract with Enactus to take part in the competition. “At first, we got the attention of a few fraternities and sororities, but eventually we had fraternities and sororities reaching out to us, instead of us reaching out to them,” said Miguel Gutierrez, junior in business and co-project manager. In addition to a variety of weekly competitions, Enactus created a curriculum to educate participants about going green. Previously, Enactus members taught the curriculum to participants themselves, but decided to designate ‘green chairs’ in each house to increase involvement. Enactus created lesson plans for green chairs to teach their fellow sorority and fraternity members how to be environmentally friendly. Additionally, each green chair manages their house’s participation in the competition and promotes recycling to ensure the house becomes more sustainable and has the opportunity to win the competition. Gutierrez, also a fraternity member, said he knows there is excess waste being produced, but not being recycled.

UNIONS change any proposals at any time,” said Kay Emmert, CFA Local #6546 bargaining research chair and lecturer of English. “That’s really concerning because you can’t propose something and then suddenly change your mind about it.” Kaler said the University’s proposals are subject to change because of the uncertainty of the pending litigation. The University and CFA Local #6546 meet again for the past. She said that if she really needed the money for school, she would do the same. Shorten said he is hopeful he will raise the rest of the money for his tuition bill this semester as he continues to promote his campaign and also works a part-time job. He advises all students interested in crowdfunding to stay persistent and keep sharing their campaign via social media. “I think that if you don’t have the money to do something and other people are willing to give you money, then why not?” Shorten said. “I think there’s no reason not to do it.”

“I saw it as an opportunity to take something that I would be passionate about and actually make a big change because I have inside knowledge to how the Greek system works,” Gutierrez said. Zocher said within the first week of Greeks Go Green, 608 pounds of recycled materials were collected and the following week participating houses collected 600 more pounds. The house that collects the most recycled materials earns a maximum of 12 points and is able to earn additional points through mini competitions, such as poster-making for green awareness. At the end of the competition, a $700 cash prize will be awarded to the house with the most points. Matthew Schierer, junior in LAS and green chair of Alpha Sigma Phi, said representatives of Enactus give the green chairs of each house the weekly curriculum a few days before the houses’ chapter meeting. “I think the competition has really been a catalyst for us getting the system in place. I think that’s really what the six weeks are about,” Schierer said. “In terms of long term, once we have the system in place after the competition is done, we are going to try and keep the system going and promote the culture of having a house that is environmentally sustainable.” The last recycling collection is on April 17 and the winning house will be announced on April 22, Earth Day.

Gilmore said they will likely go over the four proposals of the contract that both parties most closely agree on, which includes the recognition and non-discrimination proposals. The University is prepared to bargain in good faith with either the two existing unions or a single union, depending on the outcome of the potential case, Kaler said.

Pexmex oil fire in Gulf of Mexico kills at least 4 workers, injures 16 MEXICO CITY — A fire at an offshore oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday killed at least four workers and sent dozens leaping into the water for safety. Sixteen workers were reported injured and there may be a number of missing, Mexico’s state oil monopoly said. It was not immediately clear whether

a significant amount of oil had spilled. It was the latest disaster that Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, has had to contend with and comes as the struggling company is trying to reposition itself after the government’s decision to open the energy sector to foreign investment for the first time in seven decades.

US will not charge former IRS official Mom of children found in freezer charged with murder with contempt of Congress DETROIT — The mother of two children found in a deep freezer in a Detroit apartment is now facing murder charges. The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office announced Wednesday that Mitchelle

Blair — already facing child abuse charges — is also being charged with two counts each of felony murder, premeditated murder and torture in the deaths of her children Stoni Ann Blair and Stephen Gage Berry.

WASHINGTON — Lois Lerner, the former IRS official whose office gave improper scrutiny to tea party groups seeking tax-exempt status, won’t be charged with contempt of Congress. Outgoing U.S. Attorney Ron Machen disclosed the Justice Department’s deci-

sion in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner dated March 31. Machen is resigning Wednesday as the top federal prosecutor in Washington. The decision comes 11 months after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to hold Lerner in contempt.

Students key to campus going green

In

people’s day-today lives, the environment can often be looked over, and people don’t always remember to take care of it. Being environmentally friendly isn’t always our top priority, despite its need to be. While the University may be known for other initiatives, such as our engineering program and having an increased amount of international students, our campus is also largely focused on sustainability and being environmentally friendly. While many groups on campus have an eco-friendly focus or purpose, more are joining in — including the campus Greek system. Illinois’ Enactus is working with 15 sororities and fraternities to participate in the Greeks Go Green competition. The month-long event focuses on recycling and spreading awareness through social media on how to be more environmentally friendly. This is a fantastic initiative and adds to the many other ways that being eco-friendly is a main priority of this campus. Each semester, through the Sustainable Campus Environment Fee and a Cleaner Energy Technology Fee, students contribute to campus-wide sustainability projects. The Electrical and Computer Engineering building’s net-zero energy use is pushing us to make as much energy as we consume and is the largest building in the world of this type. The University also has a climate action plan to make the University a carbon neutral campus by 2050. Campus administrators, building and zoning workers and members of the Student Sustainability Committee work on these initiatives every day, but having various RSOs, and now the Greek community, dedicated to this effort is further establishing this campus’ presence as a sustainable university. Through Greeks Go Green, various chapters are competing to see which can recycle the most and save the most energy by Earth Day. There is also curriculum throughout the program to teach students eco-friendly habits. Similarly, several dorms recently wrapped up Eco-Olympics March 22. Dorms competed by looking at the total energyuse of the building and encouraging students to make commitments to environmentally conscious changes they could make, such as taking the stairs over the elevator to eliminate electricity. Seeing as Greek houses and dorms are major hubs of student involvement and student living, these initiatives, paired with everything else the campus is doing, are hopefully inspiring lifestyle choices for all students on campus. While all the initiatives the University has created advance our status as a green-University, seeing students actively participate shows even more campus commitment and helps improve the health of our planet.

Give them something to talk about NICKI HALENZA Opinions columnist

H

ello again, world! I have officially come out from behind the curtain, and am now the former opinions editor wizard of The Daily Illini Oz (please excuse my cheesy cinematic reference). For the past year, I have been knee-deep in everything University-related, and let me tell you, I’ve come out the other side having learned a thing or two. With everything from the Steven Salaita debacle that consumed first semester to ongoing discussions about race and gender on campus, there is a lot that goes on here in our little middle-of-nowhere, corn-filled, flat-land paradise. Through daily opinions columns, editorials, guest columns, letters to the editor and reader feedback, our campus’ voices have been, and continue to be, heard (some more loudly than others) on a variety of these issues. This past year, I read and listened and contributed to a multitude of campus conversations ranging from various feminist issues to ineffective University programs to the continual controversy concerning Chief Illiniwek, and everything in between.

What I realized from all of this is the importance of starting conversations on campus — and by conversations, I mean, yes, conversations. I don’t mean spiteful, vindictive words in the face of opposing viewpoints, as we all too commonly see on social media forums. No, I mean actual dialogues with substance and support that portray different sides of an issue. We’re a population of over 40,000 students, and while we sport the same shade of obnoxious orange and, presumably, root for the same college teams (I-L-L...). we sure don’t agree about everything. And that’s OK as long as we are willing to maturely and rationally talk about our differing perspectives. Some people seem quick to turn to malicious, biting words and tunnel-vision attitudes in an effort to defeat an opposing outlook, when what needs to happen is intelligent, thought-provoking dialogue. Disagreement shouldn’t become blatant condemnation. When it does turn into condemnation, it can inhibit our ability to appropriately address the issue at hand and, instead, can turn us off from needed discussion. To gather some better insight on the role conversation plays in the face of conflict, I reached out to Erin Wehrman, a University Ph.D. student, as well as a teach-

ing and research assistant in the department of Communication. Wehrman commented, “Civil discourse is very important; we should be using the tools that we have (like social media) to help make changes in the world, but we must always be aware of our actions and aim to be civil in our discourse since effective communication cannot exist without it. This means giving others the room to speak and voice their opinions, too.� Wehrman continued by emphasizing that destructive communication tactics, such as name-calling, stonewalling and criticism, “can prevent effective communication on controversial topics, which can inhibit our ability to move forward.� As previously noted, there’s a difference between criticism and disagreement, and there’s a definite difference in our reception when one is used instead of the other: Disagree with my viewpoint? Great. Let’s talk about it and see what we can learn from each other. Criticize and degrade my opinions? Hi, meet sassy, defensive Nicki, and let’s accomplish nothing. The only way we can improve what we all have opinions on is if we get other people talking about it. It’s one thing, for example, to have an opinion that Chief Illiniwek is an offensive figure, and it’s another to talk about the his-

tory of Chief Illiniwek and what apparent pride or degradation the former mascot brought to the University. It’s one thing to say that Steven Salaita’s rescinded job offer at the University was wrong, and it’s another to begin talking about the importance of First Amendment rights and academic freedom. The point is: Yes! Believe it or not, people will never completely agree about anything! Huzzah! Mind-blowing! But that only means there is necessary room to talk about these issues in our seemingly small-but-actually-huge-andinfluential community. If we can’t open up and share our multitude of varying opinions for fear of criticism and closed-mindedness, then we’re ultimately failing as a learning institution. Last time I checked, an opinion is called an opinion because that’s exactly what it is — an opinion. It’s a subjective viewpoint shaped by differing life experiences — viewpoints that we should be open to hearing. If you want to spew hate via online commentary, that’s fine — nobody will stop you. But when we can turn disagreement and passion into discussion, debate and conversation about a real life issue, then we’ve started something worthwhile.

I’m lovin’ all-day breakfast benefits CARLY CHARLES Opinions columnist

T

he number of mornings I’ve rolled out of bed at noon on a Sunday craving an Egg White Delight McMuffin ranges in the teens, at least. And yet, such a desire has yet to have been fulfilled due to the very limited availability of McDonald’s breakfast menu items. In McDonald’s terms, “morning� ends at 10:30 a.m. on a weekday and 11:00 a.m. on weekends. So, if you’re craving an Egg McMuffin on your lunch break, tough luck. But, a Chicago Tribune article published on March 30 reports that McDonald’s restaurants in San Diego will begin a “trial run� of all-day breakfast. This trial run will allow access to select breakfast foods later in the day. If the trial yields a positive outcome, McDonald’s could consider making this a permanent change to their menu. I think that this is wonderful news, and McDonald’s should most definitely consider allowing workers and patrons alike 24-hour Egg McMuffin access. I speak to you now as a student, a former

employee of McDonald’s and a semi-regular presence of the 2:00-a.m.-on-a-Saturday Green St. Scene: This menu change will garner great results for the fast food chain. According to the Chicago Tribune, breakfast “accounts for about 25 percent of sales at McDonald’s and is the strongest part of the day for the chain.� As a McDonald’s employee, I can say with the utmost passion that breakfast was my least favorite time to work: Between the hours of 4:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., the line of cars in the drive-thru simply refuses to yield. Cars of workers on their way to the morning shift generally die down around 6:30 a.m., but then you have a steady flow of cars and in-house diners trickle in throughout mid- to late-morning. The main problem I’ve experienced with the McDonald’s breakfast hours is the uncertainty over when, exactly, breakfast stops and lunch begins. If you’re Ron Swanson, you’ll scoff and act as if anybody who eats anything but breakfast, ever, is a complete luddite. The general philosophy of McDonald’s is to provide accurate, efficient service (with a smile!) to as many people as possible, in as short a time as

possible. Having breakfast end just as lunch starts disrupts this process and leads to a decrease in efficiency. I’ll describe in short to you how this happens: Shortly before breakfast ends, McDonald’s has to prepare for lunch. So they begin to drop more baskets of fries into the fryer and less hash browns. But it’s still “breakfast,� so people still want hash browns, even if there aren’t as many being made. This makes the ordering process take longer. Having breakfast all day will eliminate this extra inefficiency and allow for students short on time to grab their hash browns quickly and dash to class. McDonald’s also needs allday breakfast in order to stay competitive as a fast food chain. The Chicago Tribune reported the breakfast expansion is McDonald’s “latest move� to increase revenue and customer satisfaction after “several months of disappointing sales.� Although the article does not specifically allude to what in particular has led to a decrease in sales, I would imagine that the unhealthy rap McDonald’s so often gets might have something to do with it. If this is the case, having breakfast available all day can certainly be a solution.

It’s possible to order “healthy� options for lunch and dinner, of course (salads and ... salads). But the breakfast menu inarguably has far better and far more options for the health-conscious McDonald’s goer. In addition to the menu items one might assume offer health benefits — yogurt parfaits and oatmeal — many of the egg sandwiches are actually made with fresh eggs. I’ll utilize my status of authority on this position and say, I know. I’ve been on the other side of the counter. The (comparative) health benefits of McDonald’s breakfast menu items will extend to University students as well; more breakfast items near the quad will help students with a heavy schedule grab a quick bite on their way to class. My last talking point is perhaps a bit frivolous. But I think most University students will agree: The ability to order pancakes and bacon late at night in the heart of the Green Street social scene will definitely be a welcomed opportunity. Sometimes, walking all the way across campus to the Oregon Street Merry Ann’s is too much of a hassle in the dead of night.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD ACROSS JOHN J. KIM TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Released inmates take bus to freedom BY STEVE MILLS TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHICAGO — Barron Shannon left prison for the fourth time in less than a decade on a Greyhound bus. He had some photos and letters from home in a manila envelope, a cigarette tucked behind his ear and a few dollars from the state of Illinois in his pocket. He was clad in prison-issued black sweatpants and a sweatshirt that did little to keep him warm on a gray, frigid day. Still, he was free after more than two years in the penitentiary and headed home. As the bus rolled past snow-covered farm fields and bare trees recently, the 28-year-old gave thought to his future. An admitted gang member from the Far South Side whose prison stints have been for selling drugs, Shannon wanted to find a way to stay out this time. But he knew the streets presented a certain danger and that navigating them would not be easy. “A lot of my homies got killed since I’ve been locked up,” he explained. “I ain’t going to let anybody kill me.” The Greyhound carrying Shannon was a bus to freedom of sorts, taking newly released inmates from prisons downstate back to Chicago, all dressed alike, all carrying their belongings in an envelope or box, all hoping they never see the inside of

a prison again. They had no identification, having given up their state IDs and driver’s licenses to police upon their arrests. In many ways, the men represent the churn of a criminal justice system. About 30,000 inmates enter the state’s prisons every year and about the same number leave, making bus trips like Shannon’s a nearly daily occurrence. Many of the inmates are convicted of drug crimes and serve relatively short stints. About half of those who are released will return within three years, according to figures from the Illinois Department of Corrections. Of the dozen or so inmates on the bus, nearly all had been in prison more than once. Several, like Shannon, had been in a half-dozen times. For all the hope on the bus — for a fresh start, for jobs, for school — there was an equal measure of reality tamping it down. With parole still to serve, the inmates’ plans were vague, unformed. Some hoped to live with family. Some said they had nowhere to go and planned to walk in search of a shelter. When they look for a job, their criminal record will be heavy baggage. If they do not mention it to a prospective employer, the gaps in work history will be a solid clue that they had been incarcerated. James Knight has been

in prison seven times, each time for selling or possessing drugs. “What are most of us going to do? I’ll tell you what,” Knight said. “We’re going to go back to doing what we were doing.” Shannon had been driven from Menard to St. Louis in a prison van. Another group of inmates, including Velez and Knight, came from the minimum-security prison in Vienna at the far south end of the state. Prison officials typically give inmates about $10 in “gate money,” what they call dress-out clothes and a one-way bus ticket. The vast majority of the inmates in the Illinois Department of Corrections come from Cook County, according to department officials. In St. Louis, some of the inmates bought fast food at the bus station, their first break from the soy-heavy diet in prison. Then they boarded, all of them sitting near the back of the bus except for Knight. He went to prison for the first time in the mid-1990s, according to court and prison records, and he has returned at fairly regular intervals. Each time he got out, he vowed not to return. This time is no different, but he admits the odds are good he will go back. “I’m starting from scratch,” he said. “I’m going to try to make it, try to make a living.”

straying away from the manufactured sound that one could find in today’s electronic and pop sound. “I’m not saying electronic music isn’t cool. I’m just saying that nothing really beats the type of raw energy that bands like The Orwells are able to bring to a stage,” Gallegos said.

They would just look bored as hell on stage, and they wouldn’t really move. I remember growing up thinking that it was just the coolest thing.

The Orwellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe reflects on experiences BY FRANCES WELCH STAFF WRITER

Matt Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe, 20-yearold guitarist of The Orwells, spoke with The Daily Illini about his life and the band. The Daily Illini: What has the band been up to, and how is the new year going? Matt Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe: So far, 2015 has been good. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of downtime compared to what 2014 was, which is actually nice because now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on our next record, which gives us time to write ... All the focus is going into this next album. Then after that will be tours.

THE ORWELLS: A NEW GENERATION OF ROCK BY FRANCES WELCH STAFF WRITER

Coming straight from Chicago suburbia, The Orwells â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fronted by Mario Cuomo, guitarists Matt Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe and Dominic Corso, twin brothers Grant Brinner on bass and Henry Brinner on drums â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are making their fi rst-ever ChampaignUrbana appearance. Supported by three other Chicago-area bands, the rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll groups will perform Saturday at a secret location in Urbana. It will be one of the fi rst house shows for The Orwells since the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer 2014 international tour. In addition to this being its debut C-U performance, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe said the band enjoys house shows because they give them an idea of what they could transfer

from the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live performances to its upcoming album recording. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(House shows) are fun and different, and it helps us work out little kinks in new songs,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe said. Cristian Gallegos, promoter of the show and sophomore in Media, said he met Corso at a previous house show. The two stayed in touch and eventually worked together to organize Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. Gallegos said Cuomoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage presence and the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crunchy distortion are qualities that make The Orwells live performances so great. Beginning in 2009, while high school students in Elmhurst, Illinois, The Orwells formed as an outlet for better songwriting and having a good time. They never

thought it would ultimately turn into a career, according to Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe. After the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember When,â&#x20AC;? was released by Autumn Tone Records in 2012 , he said the response was beyond anything they could have imagined, making the band realize it was time to buckle down. Moving beyond garages and basements, The Orwells have now toured internationally, performing in cities such as Tokyo, London, Dublin and Liverpool. This includes their tour as an opening band for the Arctic Monkeys, which sparked controversy after The Orwells remarked that the Arctic Monkeys performed predictable shows. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe said the band began to notice that the Arctic Monkeys performances

on the tour lacked passion and spontaneity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Light shows and all that changing guitars, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy into that shit. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think anyone cares about that. As long as the performance is good enough, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need fancy lasers, colored lights and a different guitar for each song,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that (the spontaneity) gets taken away when you add a team of people who are relying on a set to run exactly how it has to be ran. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really what we meant by it feeling predictable.â&#x20AC;?

DI: 2014 was a crazy year for you guys. You released an album and toured all over the world. What was that like? MO: 2014 was easily the most touring weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done. We got to see a lot of the world, which was a big plus ... But it was non-stop touring, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the best at writing on the road ... That was a very strange, new kind of feeling, where all your focus is going into performance and tours and not as much into writing, which is sad. DI: Did touring this album for such a long period make you lose your love for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Disgracelandâ&#x20AC;? at any point?

MO: I think I would be lying if I said no, but not in an extreme way. I think if you stuck any five people in a van, or whatever, around the world for a year, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that you lose interest or lose the love for each other in the band; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that your mind is going to want to get on to the next thing. If you play those songs every night for almost a whole year you start to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m over these tunes. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to start to make new ones and play new ones.â&#x20AC;? I think your focus just moves on to something else. DI: From that point to now, how do you think your sound has evolved?

Baseball set for series with Northwestern BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER

The rivalry games continue for the Illinois baseball team. Following a 4-3 victory for Bragginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rights over Missouri on Tuesday night, No. 25 Illinois (21-6-1, 2-1) will host Northwestern (8-19, 2-1) for a three-game series in a battle for state supremacy. The Illini have won 10 of their last 12 meetings with the Wildcats, including a series sweep over them last year, during which Illinois outscored Northwestern 20-2 across three games. Illinois will aim for a similar offensive output this time around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Earlier in the season, our pitching kind of carried us in a lot of games, and every once in a while, our bats kind of woke up,â&#x20AC;? catcher Jason Goldstein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems like right now our bats are heating up, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a lot of critical, clutch hits.â&#x20AC;?

Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Carly Thomas at the plate during the softball game vs. Illinois State at Eichelberger Field on March 31. Illinois will face Iowa this weekend.

The Illinois softball team travels to Iowa City, Iowa this weekend for a three-game conference series on the road against Iowa, where the Illini hope to extend their four-game win streak with their record-breaking offense. Despite struggling at the beginning of the season, the Illini (1220, 3-3 Big Ten) are having one of the best offensive seasons in program history. With 19 regular-season games remaining, the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 38 home runs rank seventh all-time in school history for a single season. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s .310 batting average, .512 slugging percentage and .383 on-base percentage all rank second in Illinois history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We faced a lot of tough pitching early in the season,â&#x20AC;? freshman outfielder Carly Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been making adjustments. We just keep attacking, coming

at it hard and never backing off.â&#x20AC;? However, Illinois will need more than a high-octane offense to beat the Hawkeyes. Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (1127, 2-7 Big Ten) record is deceiving; the Hawkeyes have faced six teams nationally ranked in the top-20, three of which are in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top four. Nine of Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losses have come by one run, including a 4-3 loss to No. 6 Louisiana-Lafayette and a 2-1 loss to No. 2 Oregon. The Hawkeyes are fresh off a 6-4 upset of No. 4 Michigan. Illinois is 14-20 against Iowa all-time, winning two of the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four meetings last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iowa is a solid team thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played an aggressive schedule,â&#x20AC;? head coach Terri Sullivan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just have to trust your game plan: Make routine plays, have pitchers execute, work together, come out every day planning to be at your best and always expect your opponent to be at their best.â&#x20AC;?

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis looks to continue conference streak BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER

The Illinois menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis team handed Ohio State its fi rst Big Ten regular season loss since 2005 last weekend. The Illini (17-3, 5-0 Big Ten) snapped the Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 97-dual match win streak in the Big Ten, and now hold the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest streak: 17 matches. Illinois will have a chance to build on that this weekend as it continues through the heart of the conference slate on the road against Michigan State (11-10, 2-2 Big Ten) on Saturday and Michigan (3-12, 0-4 Big Ten) on Sunday.

Tennis hoping for redemption at home BY JONATHAN JOFFE STAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s tennis team is desperate for a win. So much so that head coach Michelle Dasso is making changes in practice in hopes of resolving the issues surrounding the team. The Illini return to the Atkins Tennis Center for a three-game homestand beginning on Thursday against No. 33 Long Beach State. Dasso said the team is doing individual workouts as opposed to team practices. This change is being made in hopes of honing in on what each individual player needs to improve, which Dasso hopes will bring a win. Illinois is currently in the midst of a five-game losing streak. Senior Melissa Kopinski emphasized that to win, the team’s focus needs to be on securing the momentum when going from doubles to singles. The Illini won the doubles point in three of their five losses, but ultimately failed to capitalize on the momentum gained from starting off strong. “Our focus is getting that first set in singles,” Kopinski said. “Getting that first set and gaining momentum on

all six courts is key.” A win against Long Beach State won’t come easy. The 49ers won the Big West Conference Tournament last season — beating UC Irvine 4-2 — and boasted a 21-3 overall record. The 49ers are off to a hot start this season — their record stands at 11-3. Kopinski said the Illini are at a large advantage because Long Beach State is transitioning from outside play to inside play — as long as the match is played indoors, as the Illini are anticipating. To prepare for the match against Long Beach State, in addition to the individual practice changes, Dasso is also having her team practice indoors. “We’re hungry for a win,” Dasso said. “We have better results playing at home and the travel has been tough on us mentally, so we are thrilled to be back at Atkins (Tennis Center).” While Dasso has been focusing her efforts on changing up the practice routines, Kopinski and fellow senior Julia Jamieson have been sharing advice with the underclassmen to keep their spirits high. “Melissa and I have told the girls not to dwell on a tough week like this,” Jamie-

starting pitching continuing a strong season, one of the few areas needing improvement is the bullpen. After struggling against Michigan State, the bullpen played what may have been the most crucial role in Tuesday’s win over

Missouri. Relievers Nick Blackburn, J.D. Nielsen, Cody Sedlock and Tyler Jay combined for 3 and 1/3 shutout innings to dispatch the Tigers. “They came in and buckled down and did what we expected them to do,” Kerian said of the bull-

pen. “Throw hard and throw strikes and give the defense a chance to help them out and get outs.” Illinois is ranked in every major national poll and continues to rise up the rankings. The highest-ranked team in Illinois history was the

1962 club that ended the season ranked No. 11 in the country. Heading into the thick of Big Ten play, head coach Dan Hartleb doesn’t want his team to become complacent and be content with where it is. “We deserve to be where we’re at, I believe that,”

Hartleb said. “But you don’t deserve to stay where you’re at. You have to play and keep yourself in that position and continue to try and climb. I think we’re very capable of that.”

legiate career. Landrus added that the familiarity with Morgantown is great. Illinois’ juniors and seniors were the only ones who competed at the regional in 2013, but sophomores Erin Buchanan and Mary Jane Horth were in attendance as high school seniors. The duo cheered on their future teammates from the crowd, so they still got an idea of what the atmosphere was like there. To prepare for Regionals, Illinois used last week’s offweek to get a feel of how the competition will be run. On Thursday, they had a prac-

tice day similar to the one at Regionals. On Friday, the Illini staged a mock regional meet, starting out on the balance beam and taking the necessary byes in between rotations. This week, the gymnasts did team events, going through each lineup. O’Connor mentioned that these special practices have prepared her team mentally and physically on what to expect at Regionals. What has boosted Illinois’ confidence even more, though, is its second-place finish at Big Ten Championships on March 21.

The Illini not only finished in second place at the conference meet, but their 197.350 score set a new program record for the top team total. “We knew that we could do that all season long.” Horth said of the record score. “It was just a matter of putting it all together at one meet, and now, having that confidence and that experience at Big Tens under our belt, we know that we can go to Regionals and do that same thing.”

this season. Although Illinois can keep the bats hot, the team has a bad habit of falling behind in early innings. In the Illini’s game against the Hoosiers Sunday, they found themselves in a 6-0 hole after the first inning. Despite the fact that Illinois rattled off a program-record 22 runs to pull off the win, Indiana still put up 12 runs on the Illini pitching staff. It seemed to be déjà vu Tuesday against Illinois

State as the Illini gave up a four-run third inning to the Redbirds, forcing yet another big comeback. Just in its last 20 games, Illinois has allowed an average of more than 8 runs per game. “We’ve given up much bigger innings, so we do feel like we’re making progress,” Sullivan added. “What we’ve decided to do is understand that you have to keep pressuring the opponent and stay committed the entire game, even when things aren’t going your way.”

Dancer has been trying new doubles combinations all season and the current pairs have seen some success. No. 75 Jared Hiltzik and Kopinski have held down the No. 1 doubles spot and Illinois claimed wins against two of Ohio State’s ranked doubles teams on Sunday. The team also will continue to benefit from the return of No. 64 Gosea. He was suspended for a vio-

lation of team rules during the team’s Texas trip, and his two doubles wins proved critical in last weekend’s victories over Penn State and Ohio State. Illinois hasn’t lost to Michigan State since 1997, and the Spartans have been inconsistent all spring. MSU hasn’t won back-toback matches since early February. While they’ve faced some elite competition, the Spartans haven’t

defeated a top-25 team the entire spring. They were shutout by Illinois opponents Duke, Texas and Ohio State. The Spartans boast the No. 17 doubles pair in the country, Harry Jadun and John Patrick Mullane. Jadun has also garnered Big Ten Men’s Tennis Athlete of the Week earlier this year. Michigan is having a down year, coming into the weekend with a 3-12

record and riding a sevenmatch losing streak. The team hasn’t won a conference match and hasn’t won on the road all season. The Wolverines already have as many losses this year as they’ve had four of the past five full seasons. While the Spartans and Wolverines don’t loom as large on the Illini’s schedule as the Buckeyes, Dancer says that the team prides itself on maintaining its

For the first time this season, the Illinois men’s golf team is no longer at the top of the collegiate rankings. The Illini now rank second behind Valspar Collegiate Invitational winner, Florida State — the Illini finished seventh in the field of 13. But head coach Mike Small is not bothered by the changing rankings. “It doesn’t matter to me, rankings are flattering but it has no bearing on who wins the championship,” Small said. “At the end of the day, we play for championships, not rankings, and we know that we need to play better.” The team has an opportunity to bounce back at this weekend’s 3M Augusta Invitational. The Augusta Invitational takes place April 4-5 at the Forest Hills Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. The tournament covers 54 holes in a shotgun format, which allows for it to be completed in less time, since a large number of golfers begin play simultaneously. The tournament is in its 37th year and 34th at Forest Hills Golf Club. The Invitational once again pits Illinois against a strong field of competitors, including the No. 3-ranked Texas, No. 20 Oklahoma State and reigning Augusta Invitational champion, Central Florida.

Highlights make March Madness memorable ELI SCHWADRON College hoops columnist

F

our storied programs — Michigan State, Duke, Wisconsin and Kentucky — will take the floor this weekend in Indianapolis for the biggest event in college basketball. But before I preview what’s sure to be an edge-of-one’sseat Final Four, let’s take a second to reflect on what’s already happened. As is seemingly the case every year, it’s been a roller coaster of an NCAA tournament, and we’ve had some truly memorable moments. Two weeks after the opening tip, it’s still the round of 64 that sticks out the most. Georgia State’s R.J. Hunter sinking Baylor at the buzzer, UCLA’s edging SMU on a controversial goaltending call and UAB’s upsetting Iowa State were prime examples of why there’s nothing quite like the excitement on day one of March Madness. While the opening round was easily the most entertaining, the Elite Eight provided two of the tournament’s best games. Michigan State and Louisville went to overtime in the East region after 40 minutes of intense action between two teams whose coaches, Tom Izzo and Rick

Pitino, respectively, know the month of March like the back of their hands. The Spartans jumped out to an early lead in the extra period, and Branden Dawson’s ridiculous putback on Bryn Forbes’ missed three-pointer put MSU up 74-70 with 28 seconds remaining to seal the deal. Meanwhile, over in the Midwest region, Notre Dame gave Kentucky its first real challenge of the tournament. The Irish led UK for much of the game, but Goliath, a.k.a. the Kentucky Wildcats, were picture perfect in the latter portion of the second half.

Kentucky’s Andrew Harrison drives in for the basket and a foul as the Wildcats defeated Cincinnati, 64-51, in the third round of the NCAA Tournament on March 21 at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. it in the post-game press conference, and it still wasn’t enough to beat John Calipari’s squad. I would be shocked if the Wildcats don’t finish off their historic season with a 40-0 record. I’ve written about Maryland as a team to look out for in the tournament all year long, and my hometown Terrapins let me down in a loss to West Virginia in the Sweet Sixteen. UMD lost by 10, but the final score doesn’t accurately depict the Mountaineers’ sheer dominance two Sundays ago in Columbus, Ohio. It certainly didn’t help Maryland’s cause when freshman point guard Melo Trimble was forced to sit out the final 8:25 of regulation with a concussion. At least Terp fans can find solace in the fact that

Diamond Stone — the 6-foot-10, 250-pound, fivestar center out of Milwaukee — committed to UMD this past weekend. With Trimble set to return for his sophomore campaign, head coach Mark Turgeon’s bunch should vie for the Big Ten championship. It’s surprising that Stone — the nation’s seventh-ranked player in the class of 2015 — chose to play collegiate ball in College Park instead of Madison with his in-state Wisconsin Badgers. But that’s a testament to Turgeon and the type of season he had with Trimble at the helm. Now on to Indianapolis. Duke takes on Sparty in the first game of Saturday’s double-header, and I’m inclined to pick Michigan State in this one. Head-

ing into the tournament, we all knew that MSU wasn’t the typical seven seed; as I said, Izzo is synonymous with the month of March. Point guard Travis Trice has been the go-to guy for State in the tourney and I don’t see that stopping in Indy. Trice is doing his best Shabazz Napier impression — the current Heat guard led the seventh-seeded Connecticut Huskies to the promised land last year. The chemistry that Trice, Dawson and Denzel Valentine have developed over the course of the season has been amazing to watch. I wrote prior to the NCAA tournament that out of any team in the field Wisconsin had the best shot to knock off Ken-

tucky. But I don’t see the Badgers actually pulling it off. The Notre Dame game was a reality check for the Wildcats, and something tells me UK will be locked in from here on out, just as they were for the fi nal minutes in Saturday’s win over the Irish. What’s so interesting about this team is its depth — 2014-15 Kentucky will go down as arguably the best and most complete team ever when it cuts down the nets Monday night. Kentucky’s team of future NBAers will remain perfect and get to 40-0. Calipari’s Cats will capture their second national title in four years.

Trimble to make his return to Maryland BY DON MARKUS TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The last image Maryland fans had of Melo Trimble was of the freshman point guard sitting visibly distraught near the end of the team’s bench at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. He had just suffered what was diagnosed as a concussion in the second half of a season-ending loss to West Virginia in the NCAA Tournament. Fortunately for the Maryland coach Mark Turgeon, his Terps and their fans, it won’t be a lasting image. T urgeon a nnounced Wednesday that Trimble, who helped lead the Terps back to national relevance this season, will return for his sophomore year. The decision by Trimble comes five days after 6-foot-10, 250-pound center Diamond Stone, a five-star recruit, committed to play for Maryland. Turgeon said he wasn’t surprised by Trimble’s decision based on a conversation they had shortly after the team returned to

College Park. “Melo’s kind of a man of his word, he always has been,” Turgeon said. “Right after the season ended, he said he wanted to come back. I said, ‘Let’s don’t rush it, let’s explore it.’ So we did. I kind of knew down deep that this is what Melo wanted.” “I am excited about spending another year with my teammates and building on what we accomplished this year,” Trimble said in a statement released by the athletic department. “This was the best decision for me. Being a member of the Maryland basketball program has been an unbelievable experience and I can’t wait to be back in front of the best fans in college basketball next season.” Trimble was named fi rstteam all-Big Ten Conference by the media and fi rstteam all-freshman by CBS Sports and the U.S. Basketball Writers Association after leading the Terps in scoring (16.2 points per game) and assists (3.0). Picked in the preseason to fi nish 10th in the league,

the 28-7 Terps came in second behind Wisconsin and set a school record for regular season wins (26). “No doubt Melo changed our program this year,” Turgeon said. “He’ll continue to grow as a player. It’s great that he’s staying. It’s great for Maryland and it’s great for him.” Kim Trimble, Melo’s mother, said in an interview that her son’s decision wasn’t difficult. “He told me it was easy,” Kim Trimble said. “I called him one day (last week) and he told me the same thing he told coach Turgeon.” Kim Trimble said the way the season ended didn’t impact her son’s decision, though the dazed look in his eyes after taking repeated blows during the West Virginia game “was a little scary.” Trimble hit the court after driving to the basket a couple of times in the fi rst half, then took an elbow to the head on what appeared to be a hard screen that knocked him out the game five minutes into the second half.

Iowa quarterback Rudock to transfer to Michigan mary traits that U-M passing game coordinator Jedd Fisch pointed out March 10 as essential for his quarterbacks: the ability to complete passes and to avoid turnovers. Add in coach Jim Harbaughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most appealing trait â&#x20AC;&#x201D; intelligence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Rudock should be able to handle whatever the Wolverines need in his lone season in Ann Arbor, Michigan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope he fits well, from what I know of their offense, he fits,â&#x20AC;? said George Smith, Rudockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school coach at Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously why that whole union happened ... Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what their offense does and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go from there. But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they would have pursued him unless they thought he could help them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you watched him play at Iowa, a lot of times they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give him much help but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you saw any facial expressions change. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of an unflappable guy.â&#x20AC;? Part of Harbaughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach is finding players who know how to win and Rudock did that in high school, with Aquinas ranked No. 1 nationally for much of the 2009 season before a loss in the state semifinals and then led them to a national championship in 2010. After sitting for two years

Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterback race added a major piece on Wednesday. Iowa quarterback Jake Rudock, who was granted his release earlier this winter from the Hawkeyes, is expected to be a graduate transfer and play this fall, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Considering Rudock had to obtain a Big Ten waiver to avoid losing the year, the transfer was uncertain until the conference approved it. But with two full years as a Big Ten starting quarterback and performing well in both years at Iowa, throwing the fewest interceptions (five) among a conference QB in 2014 and finishing second in completion percentage (61.7 percent), he fits the inexperienced Wolverines, who have no one who has started more than two games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect candidate for the position there, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gritty guy, a Big Ten guy,â&#x20AC;? said Ken Mastrole, his private coach near his Weston, Florida, home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knows the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ins and outs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great situation because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to fit that system. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a guy thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to provide so much knowledge and the nuances of the game.â&#x20AC;? Rudock, 6 -foot-3, 208 pounds, brings the two pri-

Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jake Rudock makes a call down the line during Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30-14 victory against Illinois at Memorial Stadium on Nov. 15. Rudock will be joining Michigan this upcoming fall. at Iowa, he finally got on the field and made an immediate impact, as one of three FBS players since 2008 who threw and rushed for at least four touchdowns in his first four career games. He was

Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary quarterback until last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TaxSlayer Bowl, when he was benched in favor of C.J. Beathard, whom Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz named the permanent starter in January.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has to fit into the right offense,â&#x20AC;? said BTN analyst Gerry DiNardo, who felt Rudock benefited from Iowa bringing in coordinator Greg Davis before the 2013 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a pro formation

style player and so he needs a strong offensive line, a strong running game to really flourish ... Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that type of quarterback and in that offense, I think he can be very good.â&#x20AC;?
