Ebert Center offers new program to young critics BY ABIGALE SVOBODA NEWS EDITOR

Students who hoped to follow in University alumnus Roger Ebert’s footsteps will now have even more opportunities to pursue their career goals. The College of Media announced it will establish The Ebert Center to honor the Champaign native and film critic Roger Ebert. Jan Slater, dean of the college, said the University has been working on plans for the center since Ebert and his wife Chaz made a donation to the college in 2009. “This will be a program-

matic center — with a mission for engaging students, audience, scholars, faculty and filmmakers of the past, present and future,� Slater said. “The guiding principles are for it to emphasize the careful study and (appreciation) of film, filmmakers, and the industries that support them.� Students will also be able to earn internships and fellowships through the center’s programs. Slater said students can become Ebert Fellows by participating in the competitive application process. Of the 19 appli-

Âť

cants, three students were chosen as Ebert Fellows for the upcoming academic year. Riane Lenzner-White said she’s excited for the opportunity to learn what “the real world of journalism� is like, outside of the classroom and work on different platforms within media. “It will encourage writers and filmmakers to think as critically about movies as Roger did. It will challenge them to craft more humanitarian films and tell stories that matter,� Chaz Ebert said in a press release. “These are

the values Roger lived and championed with uncommon clarity and conviction.� Each year, students will work with a professional critic as Ebert Fellows and receive a $3,000 stipend. In the program’s first year, students will be mentored by Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune and work with him to produce content for local publications.

Paralympic site finishes renovations Renovations include new equipment and more space for athletes in training BY LIZ JASSIN STAFF WRITER

After five years, renovations of the University’s Paralympic training facility are complete, just in time for athletes to fi nish preparing for the April 20 Boston Marathon. The renovations, which were funded by the United States Olympic Committee and British Petroleum, provided the University’s 23 Paralympic athletes with 10 new rollers and three times the space. The rollers are similar to

treadmills, and five rollers are equipped with KICKR bike trainer devices, which add resistance to simulate biking uphill, said Maureen Gilbert, Disability Resources and Education Services coordinator. Several rollers also have monitors attached to track the athletes’ workouts and give immediate feedback on their speed and power output. The rollers will eventually have video cameras to monitor athletes’ strokes and allow them to see how they are sit-

ting in the chair, Gilbert said. Amanda McGrory, a University alumna who is competing in the Boston Marathon, said she was able to use topography to increase the intensity of the new rollers to match the path of the Boston Marathon. “The best part about it is that our history can now be public,� Gilbert said. “A lot of people knew about our program prior to us being designated as a training center because of our outstanding athletes and our outstanding coaches, however now it is very visual.� Arielle Rausin, junior in Business, who is currently training for the Boston Mara-

thon, said the new facility will give those who participate in marathons an advantage in the race. “This newly renovated space gives us a great competitive edge when training for marathons as important as Boston,� Rausin said. “The new equipment that was donated really helps simulate what it will feel like on race day, and the more opportunities we have to train in that environment, the better we can be.� The renovation has not only been a “motivational transformation,� Rausin said, but has also created more awareness

Following national trends, State Sen. Michael Noland, D-22, has proposed a bill to legalize the possession of up to 30 grams of cannabis for recreational use for adults 21 and older. Under Senate Bill 753, adults would also be able to cultivate up to five cannabis sativa plants. The bill, proposed on Feb. 3, was postponed in the Illinois Criminal Law Committee on March 25. If passed, current sentences would be reduced and some felonies would become misdemeanors. Currently, only medical marijuana is legal in Illinois, but there are no dispensaries in the state. Approximately 2,000 of the 2,700 people who applied to the Illinois Medical Cannabis Pilot Program have been accepted, according to its website. Dan Walsh, Champaign County sheriff, said he believes the legalization of marijuana would not result in any issues with law enforcement. However, he said the pos-

sibility of people driving or operating machinery under the influence of marijuana could be dangerous. “This is like the use of alcohol in that there can be overuse and usage at unsafe times which people should not do and does need to be prohibited by law,� Walsh said. Medical marijuana is legal in 22 other states and the District of Columbia. However, the District of Columbia, Colorado, Washington, Alaska and Oregon are the only states where recreational use is legal. Oregon’s Measure 91 is similar to Noland’s proposal. Measure 91 will go into effect on July 1, making recreational marijuana use legal for adults 21 and older and restricting residents to four cannabis plants per household. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission will license residents to produce, process and sell marijuana. According to the bill, licensing the drug will “prevent revenue from the sale of marijuana from going to criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels.�

Oregon will tax licensed growers $10 per ounce of marijuana leaves and $5 per immature marijuana plant. Trae Wright, freshman in LAS, said he believes marijuana could also become a lucrative business in Illinois, if it were legal to sell, and lead to an increase in government revenue. According to a 2013 survey by Monitoring the Future, 36 percent of college students reported they have used mar-

ijuana and 5.1 percent reported daily use. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports longterm health effects can stem from the use of marijuana. According to the report, frequent users of recreational marijuana may experience breathing problems, paranoia and limited cognitive ability in people who do not have fully developed brains.

As green as it gets: Seattle’s Bullitt Center BY MARIA L. LA GANGA TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

SEATTLE — Most building tours do not highlight the sewage system. But then, most buildings aren’t the Bullitt Center, a six-story monument to all things environmentally correct. And these aren’t just any toilets. “This is our composting toilet system,” Bullitt Center spokesman Brad Kahn said proudly as he showed off the bright blue, high-tech bins in the bowels of the building Tuesday morning. “We believe this is the world’s only ... six-story composting system in a Class A office building.” During a conference that began Wednesday, the International Living Future Institute will announce that the $32.5-million office building meets standards it says are stricter than those administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, best known for its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, rating system. Jason McLennan, chief executive of the institute, calls the Bullitt Center “revolutionary in many ways.” The Bullitt building “is a pretty big achievement. It shows how close we are to a fossil-fuel-free world. ... People said it’s too hard, too expensive. It’s nice to prove these people wrong,” McLennan said. Among the building’s highlights are 14,303 square feet of solar panels. There also is an automated window system, which is fed information from a weather system on the roof. When the weather is warm, the windows automatically open at night to cool the building when the sun is down. In the average Seattle office building, Kahn said, 30 percent to 40 percent of the energy used is for heating and cooling. In comparison, the Bullitt building uses only 2 percent to 3 percent of its energy for heating and cooling. As a result, the building far exceeded its goal of

AUSTIN, Ind. — Donald Spicer slowed his police car to a crawl as he pointed out “shooting galleries” — paint-chipped houses with broken windows and rotting wood, where addicts inject liquid painkillers and lose all sense of time. Used needles often lie in plain sight in the cracked streets, in the garbage-filled gutters, on patchy lawns. “This is a common problem,” the police chief said. “This isn’t anything new to us.” Spicer now finds his rural hometown at the core of the state’s worst-ever outbreak of HIV, one so grave that Gov. Mike Pence declared a health emergency last week. Pence also authorized a short-term needle exchange to fight the virus’ spread, an exception to Indiana’s conservative anti-drug policy that bars programs to trade dirty needles for clean ones. But for Austin’s lifelong residents, the rash of infections is a symptom of a deep-rooted problem dating back decades. There is a lack of opportunity here, Spicer said, few jobs, few resources and even fewer things to do.

Gov. Jerry Brown’s historic order to curb California’s water use largely bypasses agriculture, the state’s biggest water user, setting off debate about whether growers are getting a pass. The vast majority of Brown’s plan focused on urban water use — such as lawns, golf courses, parks and public medians — which makes up less than 25 percent of Californians’ overall water use. For critics of Brown’s plan, it’s ineffective policy to crack down on watering suburban yards while largely ignoring the vast, still-green expanses of the state’s fruit and vegetable garden. “ T he gover n ment ’s response to this growing

Solar panels on the roof of the Bullitt Center office building on Capitol Hill help provide energy for floors with radiant heat. zero net energy use, generating 60 percent more electricity from its solar panels than it used in its first full year of operation. “It is by far the most energyefficient office building in the United States, by almost a factor of two, and one of the most efficient any place in the world,” said Hayes, cofounder of the original Earth Day. Once it is fully approved

by public health officials, the Bullitt Center will be the first major office building in the country to capture rainwater from the roof, purify it and use it for all purposes, including drinking. The building is equipped with a 52,000-gallon cistern, which Bullitt officials say is a 104-day supply. Oh, and about the composting toilets? After 18 months, the com-

post goes through the King County secondary treatment facility. It is later bagged and sold as GroCo compost. “And because no one wants a Class A office building that smells like an outhouse, we’re constantly pulling air down through the toilets,” Kahn said. “If you sit on a toilet, you can feel a little breeze.” “It’s refreshing.”

He paused for a moment at a faded, single-story home. The empty house could be torn down, he said, as part of a city program to remove blight. “That’s my grandmother’s house,” he said. Austin, founded in 1853, was once best known as an important rail stop between Indianapolis and Louisville, Ky.

Activists walk through Austin, Indiana, chanting “Nope to dope!” A recent HIV outbreak lead the Indiana governor to declare a state of emergency there. at Cooke’s office in Austin on Tuesday. The average patient here with the human immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS, is 20 to 30 years old with no insurance or access to medical care; many lack Social Security numbers and birth certificates. In addition to offering the needle exchange program and counseling, the clinic will help patients get such documents. Opiate addiction cropped up here in the late 1990s, Spicer said, when Oxycontin made its way down Interstate 65 and into Scott Coun-

ty. But when the formula for Oxycontin changed, so did addicts’ habits. They chased a different high: Opana, a pill that also can be injected and is tied to the current HIV outbreak. One-quarter of an Opana pill sells for $60 to $80 on the streets. Although he is grateful for the governor’s assistance and the influx of resources that have poured into Austin, Spicer worries about the long-term effect. “Don’t come in here for 30 days and think you’ve got it fixed and leave,” he said. “We’ll still be here 10 years from now dealing with it.”

crisis has been behind the curve,” said Jonas Minton, water policy adviser for the Planning and Conservation League and a former state water official. He argued that state officials should clamp down on groundwater pumping and planting of thirsty new crops. Other water experts and growers say that agriculture has already suffered severe cutbacks as a result of the drawn-out drought, now in its fourth year. For the second year in a row, Central Valley farmers without senior water rights are expecting no deliveries from the valley’s big federal irrigation project. Growers who get supplies from the State Water Project will receive only 20 percent of requested deliveries this year. Farmers left more than 400,000

acres unplanted last year, dealing a $2 billion blow to the state’s agricultural economy. “I think much of California is all of a sudden waking up to the fact that the drought is not theoretical. It’s going to manifest itself in ordinary Californians’ lives for the first time. Well, our farmers have been feeling it for a while,” said Chris Scheuring, a water attorney for the California Farm Bureau Federation. Brow n’s seven-page executive order, issued Wednesday, outlined the first statewide mandatory water-use restrictions in California’s history. Among them: He ordered a 25 percent reduction in urban use statewide compared to 2013 levels. The directive also bans the use of drinking water to

irrigate median strips in public roads, initiates the removal of 1,150 football fields worth of grass to be replaced with drought-tolerant plants; and orders golf courses, campuses and cemeteries to significantly cut their water consumption. Agricultural mandates were fewer and milder. Irrigation districts were directed to develop drought-management plans that include supply and demand data. Agencies in basins where groundwater has been overpumped must immediately monitor groundwater levels. And the State Water Resources Control Board was told to crack down on illegal water diversions and “those engaging in the wasteful and unreasonable use of water.”

BASEL, Switzerland — The Large Hadron Collider restarted Sunday after a two-years of work to make the biggest machine ever built even faster in the hope that it will unspin the secrets of the creation of the

The fundraiser for owners of an Indiana pizzeria that became the target of animosity after refusing to cater a same-sex wedding reception has come to an end after collecting more than $842,000. A GoFundMe page started by a producer from conservative news network the Blaze, founded by Glenn Beck, had drawn more than 29,000 donors as of Saturday. As of Friday evening it had raised $828,000. The website allows donations to be made anonymously. “The intent was to help the family stave off the burdensome cost of having the media parked out front, activists tearing them down, and no customers coming in,” wrote Lawrence Jones, a producer who works for Blaze personality Dana Loesch.

“But other strangers came to the rescue.” Memories Pizza landed in the center of a national debate over Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act on Tuesday, when Crystal O’Connor told a local television reporter her family would refuse requests to cater a same-sex wedding reception because it conflicted with their faith. The comments quickly gained national attention, as activists said the Walkerton pizzeria highlighted concerns related to Indiana’s legislation allowing blanket protections for businesses that engaged in discriminatory practices. Staff from “The Dana Show” plan on giving the O’Connor family’s contact information to GoFundMe now that they have raised far more than their goal of $200,000. said. “BP’s donation was not only very generous, but it also helped to legitimize wheelchair athletics at the University of Illinois so we can have the same amount of support from the student body that other varsity teams receive.” Gilbert said the facility also includes a wall of fame displaying athletes who have won medals for various track events or have attended past Paralympic or Olympic.

EDITORIAL ‘Two thumbs up’ for Ebert Center, support for Media

T

he College of Media is currently in the process of developing The Ebert Center, a $5 million project which will honor the late Roger Ebert, a 1964 University alumnus and former editor-in-chief of The Daily Illini. Ebert was universally known for his film criticism career for the Chicago Sun-Times that lasted from 1967 until his death in 2013. While Ebert and his wife, Chaz, got the ball rolling to start the center in 2009, The Ebert Center will be at least be starting their fellowship program next year. The Ebert Center will provide students with opportunities to earn fellowships and internships while also hosting speaking events with professionals from the media field. This project finally brings acknowledgement and recognition to one of the University’s most notable graduates who, as a UI and The Daily Illini alumnus and Champaign-Urbana native, always gave back to this community. For Ebert, the Champaign-Urbana community was a large influence on his humble, yet stern stance in his film reviews. For 17 years, Ebert has thanked the C-U community with his annual film festival — Ebertfest, which this year will kick off April 15. The Ebert Center only continues to expand this legacy and his continued gifts to the community and University. In 2012, Ebert sent a letter to The Daily Illini’s alumni network to help us as a publication financially with donations, writing, “Many, including myself, would say that they owe their careers at least in part to their experience at Illini Media.� It was with Ebert’s help that Illini Media continues on today, and the creation of The Ebert Center will continue Ebert’s legacy and greatly benefit media students, giving them a chance to explore the field and its current prospects. Even though other University programs, departments and colleges continue to grow and deservedly garner more attention, the College of Media landscape is quickly evolving and media majors are left unsure of possible future careers. While the decline in student enrollment in the humanities has been widely discussed, the College of Media has actually expanded. With Media’s enrollment nearly doubling over the last 10 years, it is in great need of more funding and opportunities, which will be established through The Ebert Center, and hopefully other avenues. On the creation of the center, Chaz Ebert said, “The Ebert Center is one way we will not only honor Roger’s life’s work, but also continue it.�

After being suspected dead, missing sailor Louis Jordan was rescued at sea 66 days later. Luckily this is not another episode of “Lost,� my friends. Jordan was spotted by the U.S. Coast Guard 200 miles from North Carolina, and he was found with no major injuries. After his boat had capsized during a storm, Jordan said he survived on only rain water and fish.

This weekend, the universe did us a favor. BeyoncĂŠ, Rihanna and Carly Rae Jepsen all dropped their singles “Die with You,â€? “American Oxygenâ€? and “All That,â€? respectively. While Ms. Queen B and RiRi decided to release their songs on TIDAL, a new music streaming service, Jepsen performed her latest song on Saturday Night Live.

THE SEASON OF RENEWAL LIMBO

“BREAKAWAY� FROM THE FAT-SHAMING

In television land, not only is it finale season, but for many viewers, we sit in agony over whether our favorite shows will be renewed or axed (there’s nothing as unsettling as watching “The Mindy Project� wondering if that major cliffhanger is going to be the end of a season or the end of the series!) For people anxiously awaiting verdicts: May the TV gods be in your favor and may great shows with low ratings be renewed and live on forever, if not on TV, at least on Netflix or Hulu.

Kelly Clarkson has received a lot of fat-shaming lately. And recently, Fox News’ Chris Wallace and talk show host Mike Gallagher threw their hats into the ring, saying how she has “[blown] up,� and could “stay off the deep dish pizza.� Instead of shaming Clarkson, look up to her. Her comments to silence haters will provide excellent support to people facing negativity. After all, as she taught us, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.�

H

is hands were clenched tight, and every few moments he would pause to wipe the sweat off his palms. This was a big deal. This internship would be his access point: The foot in the door that would secure him employment and a comfortable life post-graduation. He had made it through the resume vetting process, the phone interview and now all that was left was the in-person interview. Gaurav Kumar, a freshman in LAS, heard his named called by the secretary, took a deep breath and made his way into the office where his interviewer was waiting. On the desk, next to the man’s coffee, was a fresh edition of The New York Times with a headline blaring the latest updates from the Iran-United States nuclear deal. Hoping to avoid the awkward silence before that man started asking questions, Gaurav asked, “Do you think the Iranians are going to drop out of the deal?� What was supposed to be a twenty minute interview turned into an hour-long conversation about United States’ foreign policy and its role in the Middle East. At the conclusion of the

interview, Gaurav stood up, shook the man’s hand and smiled. He got the internship, much to the credit of his being informed on current events. As Kumar’s example proves, as we grow and develop from students to professionals, it becomes more and more important to understand what is going on in the world. Putting aside my idealistic hope that you read the paper everyday because you are genuinely interested in what is going on around you, the reality is that you need to have at least a general idea of current events. Reading the paper provides useful fodder for networking and conversations, but more importantly, it makes you smarter and more privy to the way the world works. Around 50 percent of people from ages 55 to 64 read the paper daily. This age group is also most likely to hold executive roles in companies, meaning they are the group that is most likely choosing to hire you or not. Simultaneously, young people are becoming less and less aware of current affairs, which can be seen in the

decline in newspaper readership. Only around 25 percent of students regularly read the newspaper, but no other media platform provides the same comprehensive coverage that newspapers do. Newspapers put a lot of thought into what they present to their readers. In a world of billions, there is enough news to fill rooms with current events every day. When you are reading a story, you are reading something that is important and specifically slotted as a crucial story for the population to be aware of that day. Be it the recent Boston Marathon Bomber trial or an update on the peacekeeping mission in Haiti, it is important to remember that these stories beat out hundreds of others for that day. The few stories that you read in the paper will be far more valuable than the millions of things you can read online. Quality always beats quantity. The newspaper provides a variety of in-depth articles that, in most cases, comprehensively describe the world for the day. If you rely on online media, you run the risk of missing out on important

events. You are not going to click on articles that you don’t find interesting. A newspaper forces you to read it all, or at the least, just informative headlines. Being able to keep up in conversation with those in high places is a guaranteed way to make an impression. By this point you might be thinking, “Tom, I am a college student. I don’t want to drop money on a newspaper subscription.� Well, my dear reader, guess what? Our campus is uniquely positioned to serve your very need to become informed about current events. The Collegiate Readership Program provides daily copies of nationally syndicated newspapers. The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune and USA TODAY are all delivered to various locations around campus. Check the package delivery room in the Ikenberry Dining Hall, in front of the entrance to the ARC or even in the Union and give yourself a big boost up on the competition by becoming aware of what is going on in the world. Take advantage of those resources and next time you are preparing for an interview, try taking a look at a newspaper before your resume. You might just get lucky.

Increasing financial aid not ‘fee’sible MATT SILICH Opinions columnist

On

March 27, Stanford University announced that, beginning in 2015 it will pay for the tuition of any students whose parents’ have a combined annual income of less than $125,000. “Our highest priority is that Stanford remain affordable and accessible to the most talented students, regardless of their financial circumstances,� said Stanford Provost John Etchemendy. “Our generous financial aid program accomplishes that.� Stanford’s primary interest in providing such excellent financial aid to students is that it allows the school to cast a wider net when fishing for intelligent applicants. Stanford seems to be prioritizing the quality of its students over its short-term financial future, something much rarer than it should be in the educational system. In addition to Stanford, other prestigious private schools have similar programs: Dartmouth offers free tuition for students whose parents’ income falls under $100,000, while Harvard and Yale offer similar deals for incomes

under $65,000. Stanford’s commitment to making the school accessible to low-income students should be commended. Thousands of students now have a chance to attend one of the most accomplished universities in the world because of this change. Things are different, however, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It would be unheard of for a public university to allocate such a huge quantity of funds to student aid. As beneficial as it could be for low-income families, instituting a tuition plan like Stanford’s isn’t feasible at the University. It is probable that a great deal more low-income students attend our university opposed to Stanford. With a pipeline to nearby Chicago and some towns in southern Illinois with lower income levels, opening up financial aid at this extreme a magnitude would create opportunities for tens of thousands of potential students. Of course, with those opportunities would come a great deal of expenditures, and that’s where the problem with such an approach lies. While many students would certainly be excited about the benefits of a significant increase in financial aid, some understand it would take a huge financial commitment at a time when our financial

future is uncertain. “You could probably attract more people to the University,� said Blake Johnson, freshman in LAS. “I think it could work, but I think it’d cost a lot of money, and we just got our funding cut.� Johnson is right; the University is already facing a murky economic future following Governor Bruce Rauner’s proposal to cut the school’s funding by as much as 31.5 percent in 2016. As incredible as it would be to offer such a package at the University, the likelihood of such an occurrence is virtually zero. All of the economic stress being put on the University is going to force it to spend wisely and save when possible. Tom Hardy, University spokesman, said recently that the University would deal with budget cuts by lessening financial support for staffing, research and future building projects. While there hopefully won’t be any decline in financial aid as a result of the cuts, there certainly doesn’t seem to be room for an increase. The University simply cannot afford to add another huge expense into the budget, such as paying the tuition of potentially thousands of students. It should certainly be acknowledged that the University already has some plans in place which help lower-

income families with talented prospective students, though the aid pales in comparison to Stanford’s. In 2005, the University created the Illinois Promise financial aid program. If one’s family income is less than the federal poverty line, tuition comes free with the promise of working a part-time job on campus. The current federal poverty line for a four-person household is $24,250 in annual income. Ten years after its inception, the Illinois Promise program is preparing to accept its largest incoming class of students ever. In 2014, 293 new students had their tuition paid through the Illinois Promise. In the Fall 2015 semester, there will be over 1,000 students in the program, new and returning. The Illinois Promise is an effective way for Illinois to provide support for qualified students with less-fortunate upbringings while avoiding heavy spending. It may not have the extreme benefits of the recent change made at Stanford, but it’s a good substitute. At a time when tuition is steadily rising and the University’s support could potentially drop off a cliff, there isn’t room in the budget for a major change in financial aid.

Peter Weber Jr. steps out of his plane as he prepares for his flight on March 30 in Placerville, California. His bid to establish the Guinness World Record as the oldest living active pilot went flawlessly, taking to the skies over Placerville on a sunny morning. The 95 year old flew three laps in a single engine Diamond DA20.

Senior pilot flies for world record At 95, veteran still flying solo

BY ED FLETCHER AND BILL LINDELOF TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

SACRAMENTO — Peter Weber Jr. flew a plane for about 20 minutes on a recent Monday. The flight was nothing fancy, just three looping circles around an area airfield. But it could nonetheless snag a Guinness world record for him. Weber, 95, told reporters gathered to witness the event that the Monday flight qualifies him as the oldest active pilot. “I feel great,” the retired U.S. Air Force veteran said after landing and turning in the keys of the rental plane. “It was a short flight, but it was all the (Guinness) requirements.” For the record: Weber was 95 years, 4 months and 23 days old at the time of the flight. Weber and his son, Pete Weber III, who also flies, started looking into the record after they wondered whether the elder Weber was the oldest pilot in California. Guinness lists Cole Kugel as the oldest pilot ever. Kugel, who lived in Longmont, Colorado, flew for the last time in 2007 at age 105. He died the same year.

As we went on, it became apparent to us more and more. We’ve been working on the app itself for about a year and working with different concepts to make

over many weeks, said the record keepers have designated a new category: Oldest qualified pilot still licensed and flying solo. Weber’s record attempt comes as most people his age consider giving up driving a car, said Jessica Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for t he C a l i for n i a Department of Motor Vehicles. Forty percent of Californians over the age of 85 are licensed drivers, according to DMV and census records. Weber is one of them. Private pilots over 40 are required to have medical exams every 24 months. The number of pilots over 90 with valid medical clearances totaled 106 as of June 2013, said Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration’s Pacific Division. “If somebody passes me up, I’ll call them up and congratulate them,” Weber said. On the potential recordsetting flight, he flew alone in a rented Diamond DA20. It’s one of 37 plane models he’s flown in his 72 years as a pilot. Weber’s military career began in the Army’s combat engineers unit. However, after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, he passed the test to be an aviation cadet and started his flying career in the Army Air Corps, forerunner of the U.S. Air Force. in the area, so Kastl said she has been learning through online tutorials. Slackline yoga focuses on the zen qualities of the line, such as how the webbing moves and reacts to each pose, she said. “You find a zen spot on the line when you’re walking,” she said. “You don’t really have thoughts at that point.” The poses, or asanas, are adapted for the slackline, but she said sitting on the line is one of the most difficult poses. The Buddha pose, lying down on the line, is another difficult pose. She recommended trying either yoga or slacklining and then incorporating the techniques. “They nurture each other,” she said.

During World War II, he flew P-38 fighters in the South Pacific, was an instrument flight instructor during the Korean War and flew an AC-130 gunship in Vietnam. Weber, who began military service as a private, retired from the Air Force in 1970 as a lieutenant colonel. Since then he has flown for fun.

“I like to observe and take anybody up for a ride who wants to go.” PETER WEBER JR. 95-YEAR-OLD PILOT

“I like to fly,” he said. “I fly at least twice a month. I like to observe and take anybody up for a ride who wants to go.” He said that his good health, mental acuity and long life can be traced in part to his diet. “My wife, Ruth, is a good cook,” he said. “We’ve been married 72 years. I was a cadet in primary flight training when we got married.”

“You find a zen spot on the line when you’re walking. You don’t really have thoughts at that point.”

hen the temperature goes up, so do lines of webbing that connect the trees on the Quad. Students will wobble and hop onto the primarycolored lines and attempt to cross before dropping onto the sweetgum balls scattered in the grass. Most people know the students as tightrope walkers, but they are actually slackliners or â&#x20AC;&#x153;slackers.â&#x20AC;? Mallory Wall, freshman in Engineering, described

the webbing as â&#x20AC;&#x153;hardâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;kind of bouncy,â&#x20AC;? like a trampoline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to be able to walk on it,â&#x20AC;? she said after her initial attempt. W h i le the s a me principle of balancing on an elevated line applies to tightropes and slacklines, the slackline is made of a tubular webbing anchored between two points. This makes it much more elastic than the thin wire typically used for tightrope walking. Horace Yang, senior in LAS, owns one of the slacklines used on the

Quad. He said he has been slacklining for almost two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just enjoy being in the outdoors,â&#x20AC;? he said, and added that he is fi ne with anyone using his slackline, as long as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there. Yang said he has watched the slackline community grow over the years, with more people giving into their curiosity. As people watch others slackline, he said they become less afraid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really no getting worse,â&#x20AC;? Yang said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time you get on it you get a little better.â&#x20AC;? Yang is also the informal president of the slacklining club, which was created but never holds meetings,

he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People came out anyway. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really see a point in it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Many of the members who slackline are also in the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Climbing Club, Yang said. Cristian Novoa, senior in LAS and member of the Climbing Club, said there was a uniting factor between the slackliners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the people here know each other. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good way to be out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excuse to be outside. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so much about doing the slackline itself.â&#x20AC;? Novoa said he has been slacklining since last fall, and the technique came naturally to him. He added that he has

always enjoyed learning new ways to manipulate his body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think anybody can do it anyway,â&#x20AC;? Novoa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your body just learns.â&#x20AC;? S a m a nt h a Yad r o n , sophomore in LAS, said she started slacklining last September for the community aspect. As a transfer student, she said she did not know many people before getting involved, but she joined the Climbing Club and continued to meet people through slacklining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just trying their thing, doing what they do,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Baseball wins Hartlebâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 300th in sweep BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER

Apart from the Easter holiday, the Illinois baseball team had plenty to celebrate at Illinois Field this weekend. Illinois (24-6-1, 5-1 Big Ten) finished off a series sweep against in-state rival Northwestern (8-22, 2-4) with a 17-2 win Sunday afternoon. The blowout victory marked head coach Dan Hartlebâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 300th career win â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all at Illinois. After being drenched with a bucket of Gatorade by his players, Hartleb spoke on his milestone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to get it this early in the year because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a lot of success,â&#x20AC;? Hartleb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It comes down to having great support from the administration here, having a number of good players that have done a great job during their careers and, again, having great players this year. It feels good, especially to do it on Easter Sunday.â&#x20AC;? The Illini swung hot bats Sunday, piling up 20 hits en route to scoring in six of nine innings. Contributions came from up and down the lineup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; six different players had at least two hits, nine different players drove in a run and eight different Illini crossed home plate. Senior starter John Kravetz improved to 3-0 by scattering eight hits and two runs across six innings. Senior second baseman Reid Roper started the scoring onslaught with a three-

Key performer: Reid Roper went 5-for-6 with a home run and three RBI on Sunday. Quote of the series: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been pleased. We talked a little before about being consistent one through nine, and every day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somebody new.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Head coach Dan Hartleb run homer in the first inning and finished the day with five hits and four runs. He was a double short of batting for the cycle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very good day for us,â&#x20AC;? Hartleb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got off to a great start the first inning and just continued to tack on.â&#x20AC;? The weekend series didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start off as easily for Illinois. Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13-inning thriller was the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest game of the season before sophomore Pat McInerney belted a tworun shot over the right field wall to win the series opener. Illinois managed just one run in the third inning

Underclassmen power softball BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER

The long ball carried the Illinois softball team to another series win this weekend against Iowa in Iowa City. The Illini (14-21, 5-4) hit six home runs and scored a total of 34 runs in three games against the Hawkeyes (1230, 3-8). The six home runs accounted for 10 of the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBIs. After losing the first game, the Illini bounced back with two victories to close out the series. This was the second Big Ten series win in a row for Illinois, who has won six of its last seven games. Head coach Terri Sullivan was pleased with her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance in its first road series of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very hard to pick up a series win against anybody in the Big Ten,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Road series wins are even tougher to come by, and you need everybody to contribute in order to win one ... This was a really big win for us.â&#x20AC;? Most of the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success against conference opponents is due to the offensive output of the underclassmen. Freshmen Carly Thomas and Annie Fleming, and sophomore Nicole Evans combined for all six of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home runs this weekend. Evans has been Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top power hitter all season. She leads the team in both home runs (13) and RBIs (34). She hit two out of the park this weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one in the first game and one

in the third â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and recorded five RBIs. Thomas picked up where she left off in last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series against Indiana. She hit a grand slam on Sunday, which supplied all four of her RBIs for the weekend. But the surprise contributor for the Illini this weekend was Fleming. She entered the weekend with only one home run and three RBIs on the season. Fleming hit three home runs on the weekend, and recorded seven RBIs. Two of her home runs came late in the game Sunday, effectively putting the game out of reach for the Hawkeyes. Sullivan said the contributions from the underclassmen in the second part of the season have been the cause of the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turnaround, who were 8-16 before conference play started. Fleming understood how big this series was for her team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This series means a lot to our team,â&#x20AC;? Fleming said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was our first road series, and we wanted to prove something to everybody, including ourselves.â&#x20AC;? Underclassmen werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only producing at the plate for the Illini against the Hawkeyes. After a rough start to the game on Friday, sophomore pitcher Jade Vecvanags took over and picked up two wins on Saturday and Sunday. Vecvanags gave up eight earned runs in the first inning without recording an

junior catcher Jason Goldstein, who belted two doubles and finished the game with two runs batted in and three runs. Saturday starter Drasen Johnson notched his fourth win of the season, allowing three runs and striking out seven batters before exiting in the eighth inning. Illinois now has two consecutive series wins to begin

Big Ten play. With 44 total hits and just seven runs allowed on the weekend, Hartleb was happy with his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance against the conference foe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve competed very well, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always nice to get a great start,â&#x20AC;? Hartleb said.

After Sullivan pulled her out of the game, sophomore Breanna Wonderly took over, giving up seven more earned runs. Vecvanags returned on Saturday and started game two in top form.

The Illinois womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnastics team had been working toward one goal all season: a third-straight trip to NCAA Nationals. All Illinois had to do to make that dream a reality was finish in the top two at the Morgantown Regional on Saturday night. The Illini walked into the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown, West Virginia, as the No. 3 seed, but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deter them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Illinois earned a trip to Nationals in 2013 as a No. 3 seed at the very same Morgantown Regional. Despite trailing heading into the last rotation, there was still hope Illinois could finish second. Florida, the top seed, was on a bye during the final rotation, but comfortably sat in

first with a 197.475. West Virginia was also done, but its 195.650 was a score both Illinois and Stanford could realistically top. It was just a matter of which team would do so. Stanford had a slight advantage over Illinois heading into the sixth rotation, leading 147.625-147.475. But for the Illini, ending on uneven bars meant finishing on one of their best events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew it was a close call, but we just went in there like any other normal rotation,â&#x20AC;? sophomore Mary Jane Horth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just like any other meet, just doing those bar routines we knew how to do, just focusing on our team and focusing on the details.â&#x20AC;?

We were able to do that for her this weekend.â&#x20AC;?

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf finishes 2nd at Augusta Invitational BY DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER

The Illinois menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team shot a combined 841 (-23) to cap off a successful showing at the 3M Augusta Invitational in Augusta, Georgia, finishing second in a field of 15 Sunday. In a group that included No. 2 Texas, and No. 25 New Mexico, Illinois showed why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considered among the elite teams in collegiate golf. Head coach Mike Small believes his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressive performance is a sign of good things to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall our team made some good moves in the right direction this weekend,â&#x20AC;? Small said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was disappointing we finished second â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hats off to New Mexico â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I think our guys played consistent golf and improved at this tournament. Our guys did not post a single score over 74 so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something positive to take away from this weekend as well.â&#x20AC;? Senior Brian Campbell was one of the main con-

tributors to the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong weekend. He shot a 65 in his second round, posting the lowest individual single-round score of the entire tournament. That score also led him to finish third in individual scoring. Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lee McCoy (200, -16), and Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Scottie Scheffler (204, -12) finished in front of Campbell (205, -11). Campbell was not the only Illini to have a successful weekend. Juniors Thomas Detry and Charlie Danielson finished among the top 15 in individual scoring with scores of 208 (-8), and 212 (-4), respectively. After Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial two rounds of action, New Mexico held a one-stroke lead over the Illini. Host GRU Augusta finished the day in third place, followed by Virginia Tech, Texas and Georgia, who tied for fifth to round out the top five. At the end of Sunday, Illinois shot a combined 280 to finish the tournament in second place. As a team, the Illi-

Heading into the back nine, Illinois shared first place with New Mexico and Georgia at 18-under-par. Besides the competitive play, Small expressed the trip offers the team other fun opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This trip to Augusta is a fun event for us,â&#x20AC;&#x153; Small said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only a big collegiate event with some top teams in it playing a good collegiate golf course at Augusta state, but we also get to attend the

No. 2 Texas finished in fourth place behind New Mexico, Illinois, and Georgia, respectively and No. 1 Florida State did not play over the weekend. With a good performance by Texas, Illinois might have to wait another few weeks if they wish to regain its number one ranking it held at the start of the spring season.

Tennis defeats Michigan, MSU BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER

The Illinois menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis team is still perfect in the Big Ten after two weekend wins in Michigan. The team defeated Michigan State 6-1 in East Lansing, Michigan, on Saturday afternoon and Michigan 4-0 on Sunday in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The two victories came with two more doubles point wins for the Illini. Since their shutout loss to No. 17 TCU on March 16, Illinois hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dropped a doubles point. It was a chink in the armor earlier this spring, but the team has been greatly improved of late. Part of the change came in splitting up top doubles team Ross Guignon and Tim Kopinski. The pair has proved to be just as important on different courts, according to head coach Brad Dancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leaders of the program since the day they got here ... theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a great job with their doubles teams,â&#x20AC;? Dancer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Guignon) was really the catalyst for our doubles. I thought he was awesome today ... he set the tone for the whole match.â&#x20AC;? Dancer has been trying lots of different combinations on the doubles court. One new combination came on Saturday as Blake Bazarnik joined No. 22 Jared Hiltzik at the No. 2 doubles spot. The duo took down Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gijs Linders and Mac Roy 8-7 (7-4). Bazarnik returned to the

Bazarnik said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to get better every week, everyday ... get my fitness better, working on stuff with my backhand ... and just waiting for the opportunity.â&#x20AC;? No. 64 Farris Gosea was also back in full force for Illinois. After losing his first singles match back last weekend, he picked up two wins on the Michigan trip. In singles, Gosea defeated MSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brett Forman 6-1, 6-0 and was up 6-1, 5-2 on Runhao Hua of

The Illini are making their way through the heart of the Big Ten slate now. After this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matches, they have two more weekends against conference competition before the Big Ten Tournament at the Atkins Tennis Center.

Heading into Thursday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match against No. 33 Long Beach State, the Illinois womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis team was in the midst of a deflating fivegame losing streak. At the conclusion of the weekend, the Illini are winners of three straight after defeating Long Beach State, in addition to sweeping Maryland on Saturday and Rutgers on Sunday. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record now stands at 10-9 and 2-5 in conference play. Illinois dominated Long Beach State at the Atkins Tennis Center on Thursday in its lone non-conference match of the weekend. The Illini secured the doubles point after wins at the top two spots. Senior Melissa Kopinski and sophomore Louise Kwong won 6-3 at No. 1 while sophomores Jerricka Boone and Madie Baillon finished the job at the No. 2 spot with a 6-4 comeback win. While Long Beach State struck first in singles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Illini freshman Grace Tapak fell 6-2, 6-1 in straight sets on court six â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Illinois won its next three singles matches to ensure a win over the ranked opponent.

Dassoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew carried the momentum into Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match against Rutgers to complete its second sweep and conference win in two days. Boone and Baillon finished first in doubles, winning their match at the No. 2 spot 8-3 after dropping the first two games early.

Kato shared the title of co-uneven bars regional champion with

Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bridget Sloan, both qualifying to compete in Nationals. Kato admitted practice will be difficult now, knowing only Horth and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor will be the teammates accompanying her in the gym, but she knows that at least having them there will help her get through it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it was just myself, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know if I would want to go to practice,â&#x20AC;? Kato said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having them by my side and working out with them, I know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to represent our school and show the world what it means to be a Fighting Illini.â&#x20AC;?

Petrey snags only Illinois win at Big Blue BY ALEX WALLNER

EIU Big Blue Classic/ Stanford Invitational

STAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s track and field team traveled to Charleston, Illinois, over the weekend to compete in its first EIU Big Blue Classic in three years. Illinois’ 96.50 points were good for fourth at the three-day meet. The Illini placed behind Eastern Illinois, Indiana State and Southern Illinois, respectively. Friday did not go well for the Illini, who finished the day in eighth out of 13 teams heading into the meet’s final day. But a bright spot from Friday was the performance by the 4x800 meter relay team of freshman Nicole Choquette, junior Lindsey Rakosnik and seniors Amanda Duvendack and Chloe Schmidt. The Illini quartet won the event with a time of 8 minutes and 52 seconds — setting a EIU Big Blue Classic meet record. The mark beat host Eastern Illinois’ relay team by 17 seconds, which is the second best time in Illinois history. “As a group, our overall goal is to break the school record,” Rakosnik said. “With the conditions we were unable to this weekend, but it was good practice for our next opportunity at Drake. We are a tough group of girls with the ability to get it in a few weeks if we continue consistent training, but it’s exciting to have our names on the wall and is a motivator to keep working hard.” The second day turned out to be a better team performance for the Illini, who jumped four spots to finish fourth out of 10 teams and

Summary: Illinois women’s track scores eight at EIU Big Blue Classic; Alyssa Schneider competes inn 5,000 meters at Stanford Invitational. Key Performers: Junior Britten Petrey won 3,000 meter steeplechase; Illini 4x800 meter relay team set new meet record. Senior Alyssa Schneider moved up to second on all-time list at Illinois with her finish at the Stanford Invitational. Quote of the Meet: Junior Lindsey Rakosnik – “We are a tough group of girls with the ability to get it in a few weeks if we continue consistent training.” Hidden Stat: Schneider is only 20 seconds away from tying Angela Bizzarri’s school record in the 5,0000 mark set in 2010. scored in eight events. Junior Britten Petrey was the lone winner of the day, earning top honors in the 3,000 meter steeplechase. Petrey finished with a time of 10:33, edging Marquette’s Kellie Greenwood by six-tenths of a second. While the result was a confidence boost for Petrey, she considered it a minor step to a much bigger goal. “I am staying patient and working for what comes in May,” Petrey said. “These next races are going to be great stepping stones for

The meet was dedicated to one event — the 5,000

meter run — with the nation’s top 19 runners in the event participating. Schneider, who was the only Big Ten runner to compete, finished 14th with a time of 16:13. That time set a personal record for Schneider and ranks second on the Illinois

all-time list in the event, trailing Angela Bizzarri’s time of 15:33 that she ran in 2010. “It’s always exciting to walk away from a race knowing that’s the fastest you’ve ever ran it,” Schneider said. “That’s a great feeling. Now that I have a

longer distance race completed, I’ll be focusing on doing some shorter length races and continuing to prepare for the bigger races towards the end of our season.”
