advocating the truthful and peaceful aspect of Muhammad, nor do they understand his message, Ahmed said. “Islam is all about moderation, and the prophet always promoted moderation in everything we do,” Martini said. One goal of handing out flowers Wednesday was to make the organization and its members more proactive. Members said rather than defending their religion and being apologists, they connected with people to educate those who are ignorant of the Islamic faith. Ahmed said the Muslim American Society promotes participation in social activism, service and practicing citizenship duties. He added that the community-driven aspects of the organization makes it an asset and attractive to Muslims of all ages. “The thing that draws me toward MAS is its methodology,” said Aliaa Taha, sophomore in Engineering, “It’s very big picture and focuses on self-development and outreach. It takes a very holistic approach to issues that are relevant today.”

Exhibit executive director Mark Brisson and stagehand Joey Villemarette carry an Orca killer whale skull during the load-in of animal skeletons large and small at the new home of the Skeletons: Animals Unveiled exhibit April 1 in Orlando, Florida. BY DEWAYNE BEVIL TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
ORLANDO, Fla. — Jay Villemarette Sr.’s company is assembling a new International Drive attraction piece by piece. The bones of more than 400 birds, beasts and other beings are now arriving in Orlando for his Skeletons: Animals Unveiled, which is scheduled to open this month at the I-Drive 360 complex. “Every skeleton in this museum is real,� owner and founder Villemarette said. The attraction will be an outgrowth of his Oklahoma-based Skulls Unlimited Inc. The skeletons were created in the company’s Oklahoma City labs before being
transported to Orlando in tractor-trailers. It’s not a speedy process to turn carcasses into displays. There are steps that involve a chemical bath, disinfecting, whitening, taking inventory, pose design and even flesh-eating beetles. It took a year to put 400 skeletons together, assembly-line style, with as many as seven technicians working, Villemarette said. Most of the animals will be represented in action poses, said Jay Villemarette Jr. “We’re going to have a white rhino in a charging pose: Head down, horn straight and all four feet are in a full run,� he said. The attraction doesn’t
deal with extinct animals. Endangered ones will be there, however, including three manatees; one has broken ribs and vertebrae that indicate multiple collisions with speed boats. Orlando was selected over Las Vegas for the attraction, which will put an emphasis on learning, Villemarette Sr. said. “This museum, even though it’s an entertainment attraction, it’s still going to have a heavy feel of education,� he said. “If one kid walks out of this museum every day and I’ve changed their life and they become a biologist or a doctor or whatever, then it’s been worth it to me.�

Dolphin, drone detect danger Obama discusses Iran nuclear talks, NEWS BRIEFS TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
White House threatens to veto bill WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama discussed the emerging Iranian nuclear deal with Sen. Bob Corker in a phone call Wednesday as the White House seeks to stave off the Tennessee Republican’s bill that would give Congress an up-or-down vote on an agreement. The president spoke with
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman the week before the panel is set to consider the bill, which is co-sponsored by eight Democrats and an independent. The White House has threatened to veto the legislation, and supporters say they have almost enough votes to override a veto.
Robert Durst indicted on firearm possession charges in Louisiana NEW ORLEANS — Robert Durst was indicted Wednesday on gun charges in Louisiana, likely delaying his extradition to California to face murder charges, court officials said. Durst, 71, the focus of the HBO documentary “The Jinx,” was indicted on charges of possessing a firearm while carrying mari-
juana and possession of a firearm by a felon, court officials confirmed. Investigators said they found a .38-caliber revolver and marijuana in his hotel room. The indictment raised immediate questions about efforts to extradict Durst to California to face charges in a nearly 15-year-old murder case.

SAN DIEGO — For a moment, the mammal and the machine are side by side on a Navy dock here. The dolphin and the drone — and their respective handlers — will spend the morning training for a possible order to deploy to the Persian Gulf or some other international trouble spot to detect underwater mines, or maybe to guard a port against a terrorist threat. The mammal is Puanani, a bottlenose dolphin, a sleek 7 feet, 10 inches long and 427 pounds. The machine is an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, or UUV, Kingfish version, 11 feet long, 600 pounds. Puanani was born in the Gulf of Mexico and received initial training from the Navy in Hawaii. The cigar-shaped UUV was built by Hydroid Inc., a Massachusetts military contractor. Both are assigned to a mission that Navy officials say is increasingly critical: maintaining “underwater dominance” and the ability to thwart attacks aimed at the home front or at U.S. and allied ships in foreign locations. Among potential targets, officials warn, is the port at Long Beach. The U.S. has submarines, advanced sonar aboard sur-

Russian, Greek leaders talk of restoring trade despite sanctions ATHENS — Russian President Vladimir Putin invited Greece to participate in building and operating the Turkish Stream pipeline that could generate hundreds of millions of euros in annual income for the bankrupt Athens government and transform Greece into a vital energy hub in Europe.
In talks with visiting Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Wednesday, Putin also raised the prospect of restoring bilateral trade with Greece by exempting it from Russia’s embargo on selected agricultural imports from the European Union imposed in retaliation for Western sanctions on Russia.

BUSINESS about 30 qualified firms receiving a total of about $10 million annually by the fourth year of the program,” according to a University press release. The University issued the first sheltered market request-forproposal (RFP) in the state. This sheltered market RFP offers temporary IT services similar to those offered in the 2011 pilot program; however, now minority owned businesses have access to the contracts. Hites said select minority owned businesses are awarded contracts to work with a vendor that supplies IT services to suit the business’s needs. Additionally, all University members have access to the program’s contracts. Sharla Roberts, director of Diversity Procurement, said the initiative is a vehicle to increase utilization of vendor contracts at the University. “There is a state mandate that

In San Diego, with a budget of $28 million a year, the Navy has 90 dolphins and 50 California sea lions in a program run by the Space and
Naval Warfare System Pacific. Nearly every day the animals train in San Diego Bay or in the ocean beyond Point Loma. There are also several UUVs. The sea lions are trained to detect any swimmer who is in a restricted area. The animal clamps a “bite plate” onto the swimmer’s leg and takes the attached tether back to his handler.
That’s the exercise that veteran trainer Chris Harris is conducting with Joe, a sea lion who has made multiple deployments, including to the Persian Gulf. Harris signals Joe to begin his dive. Within a minute, Joe has surfaced, followed by a Navy diver playing the part of a would-be terrorist. The diver gives a thumbs-up. Joe has done his job.

Former North Charleston, South Carolina, police officer Michael Slager has been charged with murder in the shooting death of Walter Lamar Scott after a traffic stop Sunday. A video that surfaced this week shows Slager shooting at Scott as Scott is running away — contradicting Slager’s earlier account of the shooting.
What Slager says happened According to an initial statement released Monday by Slager’s then attorney, David Aylor, the incident began as a “routine traffic stop,” but “quickly escalated.” Slager, through his attorney, said Scott fled his vehicle while a passenger stayed in the car. Slager reached for his Taser, the statement says, and a struggle ensued, as Scott tried to “overpower Officer Slager in an effort to take his Taser.” Slager said that, feeling
20 percent of what the University spends has to be done with minority and women owned vendors,” Roberts said. Michael Bass, senior associate vice president and comptroller, said in the press release that the University “strongly supports the initiative.” “Diversity and inclusion are important principles for us to uphold and we’re eager to utilize the tools available to achieve our goals,” Bass said. The temporary IT services could range from project management to assistance from programmers for programs such as JAVA. The pilot program involves six groups: strategic planning, infrastructure, information security, software application development, customer service and teaching and learning. “It relates back to what the state would like us to do in terms of increasing the amount of engagement with the female minority owned business community in both
threatened, he reached for his gun and fired at Scott. According to incident reports from other officers, Slager said over the radio, “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser.”
What we know about Slager’s work history According to his former attorney and his personnel file with the department, Slager had been with the North Charleston Police Department for five years. North Charleston Mayor R. Keith Summey confirmed Tuesday that Slager has been fired. A statement from his former attorney said Slager had “no disciplinary issues” during his five years with the force. City records show Slager was accused in September 2013 of using excessive force after the officer deployed his stun gun in a physical altercation during a burglary investigation. In that incident, a burglary victim led officers to an address where
Champaign-Urbana and Chicago,” Hites said. Hites said the program is especially helpful for IT departments within different colleges who need help with strategic planning but don’t need to hire a full time employee. “Vendors can apply to join the initiative through the Illinois for Higher Education website,” Roberts said. Hites said once a request is made, vendors can visit the website to download the request which is made public so the University can hire the proper IT vendors based on cost and specialization. “The percentage of contracts that were going to female and minority owned businesses were significantly lower, so the state as a whole wanted to focus on IT,” Hites said. “We wrote this RFP to take advantage of what the state wanted us to do and also the pilot program that we did in 2011.”

the suspect lived. According to witness statements, Slager used his stun gun on a man who was not the burglary suspect, despite the fact that the burglary victim and the man, who was black, told Slager he was not the person police were looking for. One witness claimed that Slager told the man he would be “Tased” if he did not exit the apartment, and when he did, he was “Tased for no reason” and “slammed” and “dragged” by the officer. The department’s internal affairs bureau ultimately exonerated Slager. Slager had previously served in the U.S. Coast Guard in Florida for six years, according to his job application to the department. Before that, the application says, he worked as a waiter in New Jersey.

During the press conference, attendees said there are other ways the state can reduce its deficit without cutting tuition waivers, which would save the state an estimated $10 million per year. Ciara Reilly, Maeve Reilly’s daughter and junior in LAS, said she is grateful for her partial tuition waiver. “I know how hard my parents had to work for the University in order for me to receive this,” Reilly said. “If the waiver didn’t exist, I probably would’ve looked at other schools in other states, and I’d like to think that my being a student here and being involved with these various organizations and organi-

Slager’s current legal situation Slager was arrested Tuesday and charged with murder in connection with Scott’s death. He appeared without an attorney during his first court appearance Tuesday, The Associated Press reported. He was denied bond and could face 30 years to life in prison if convicted of murder. Aylor, his former attorney, told the Los Angeles Times that he had removed himself as Slager’s attorney Tuesday. He would not say why, and it’s not clear who is representing Slager now.

Jury finds Dzhokhar Tsarnaev guilty on all 30 counts BY RICHARD R. SERRANO TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
BOSTON — A seven-woman, five-man federal jury in the Boston Marathon bombing trial found Russian immigrant Dzhokhar Tsarnaev guilty of all charges against him, including conspiring to plan and execute the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11. The decision Wednesday, which came after two days of deliberations, was not surprising given the admission by Tsarnaev’s attorney that her client took part in the April 2013 bombing. It sets the stage for the punishment phase of the trial, in which federal prosecutors and defense lawyers will face off over whether the former college student should be sentenced to death. Tsarnaev, 21, thin, touslehaired and lightly bearded, stood for the reading of the verdict. As he has throughout the trial, he showed next to no emotion. He stood for some 30 minutes as the lengthy verdict form was read, sometimes swaying, picking his
fingernails or cracking his knuckles, but never looking toward the jury box. The counts against Tsarnaev included conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and murder in the death of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer during a police manhunt. Seventeen of the counts make Tsarnaev eligible to receive the death penalty. Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. instructed the jury to return to his third-floor courtroom sometime “early next week” for opening statements in the penalty phase, when experts expect to see a more robust legal battle. Prosecutors will push hard for a death sentence, while the defense will argue for life in prison with no parole. Judy Clarke, the lead defense attorney, is one of the nation’s top anti-death-penalty advocates and has yet to lose a client to death row. The first part of the trial lasted a month as the prosecution called 92 witnesses, including victims of the attack, and showed the
jurors surveillance video depicting Tsarnaev placing his bomb. The case included a visit by jurors to inspect the dry-docked boat where Tsarnaev was captured and where he had scribbled notes about his anger toward America and devotion to Islam. The next phase is expected to go faster, perhaps just two weeks, with less evidence and a greater emphasis on emotion and motivation. Prosecutors will rely again on victim testimony, asking some of the amputees and relatives of the four people killed — three at the race finish line and one during the manhunt — to describe in detail how their lives have been changed. But despite the lingering anger in Boston about the attack, prosecutors also face widespread ideological opposition to the death penalty in the New England state. To avoid the death penalty, all the defense needs is one juror. Before trial, all 12 swore to the judge that they would be open to a possible
death sentence, and could set aside any sympathy for Tsarnaev if they decided he deserves to die. The more difficult challenge confronts the defense team. Led by Clarke, they will portray Tsarnaev as a loner, a failure at college and a casualty of a broken family. More significantly, they will argue, he was under the spell of his heavily radicalized older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Yet Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, shortly before he was captured, left a message scrawled in pencil on the inside of the boat where he was hiding in nearby Watertown, Mass. “The U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians but most of you already know that,” he wrote. “ … I can’t stand to see such evil go unpunished … We are promised victory and we will surely get it. Now I don’t like killing innocent people it is forbidden in Islam but … it is allowed.” Two pressure cooker bombs filled with nails, metal shards and BBs were deto-

Campus concealed carry would do more harm than good
No
matter how many safeguards are put in place on a college campus, there are always going to be students on this campus — and others nationally — who feel unsafe. Whether we have the best police officers in the country or walk home with dozens of friends on a Friday night, the next morning or the next week, a crime alert could come and remind us of the ubiquity of crime. This year, 12 state legislatures will decide whether to allow concealed carry on campus. Considering people are always trying to improve on-campus safety measures, allowing concealed carry on campus just doesn’t make sense. Seven states currently allow concealed carry on campuses, while 23 states allow individual schools to independently make the decision. The 20 other states — including Illinois — forbid on-campus concealed carry. Recently, shots were fired at Canopy Club, and there is gun-related violence occurring in our neighboring communities and at colleges across the nation too frequently (such as Purdue University last year). It should be clear the answer to stopping campus gun violence is not the presence of more guns. Regardless of whether concealed carry is allowed statewide, it is not a policy that is appropriate for colleges and universities. Lawmakers supporting these rules, the National Rifle Association and Students for Concealed Carry, all argue that concealed carry will help decrease campus crimes such as sexual assault. While the threat of sexual assault is inarguably something that needs to be addressed and fought against, all variables considered, states and campus communities should be able to think of other measures that are more protective for all students. Guns on campuses are not an answer to these problems. Instead, they would be a catalyst for more crime. When the presence of alcohol at schools is factored in, the plausibility for accidents is too high. If an intoxicated or drugged woman is trying to protect herself in the face of sexual assault and is overpowered, the plausibility for harm is too high. At a campus that constantly sees visitors, outside community members and is heavily populated, the plausibility of violence is too high. Campuses should be making strides to be safer for all students, but not through concealed carry. Almost 80 percent of students, 95 percent of college presidents and 89 percent of police chiefs are against these policies. It’s time for states across the country to listen to them.
Integrity comes before sensitivity CARLY CHARLES Opinions columnist
In
November 2014, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, a writer for Rolling Stone, published an article called “A Rape on Campus.� The shocking article told the story of a University of Virginia student known only by a first name, “Jackie,� and detailed the horrifying account of the night Jackie was allegedly gang raped by a group of rushing fraternity brothers at a Greek social event. Shortly after the story’s publication, it was criticized and attacked for its failure to properly attribute the origins of quotations, its failure to contact sources and, in general, its failure to fact-check. Given Erdely’s past success in covering difficult and controversial topics, it seems bizarre and out of place that this story could turn out so badly. In my opinion, Erdely’s failure to comply by standard journalistic procedures in lieu of “accommodating� Jackie serves as the key culprit in the story’s failure. For example, Erdely didn’t push Jackie when she appeared to not know the surname of the student who allegedly organized her assault. Furthermore, she accepted “quotes�
from friends of Jackie’s concerning her assault that were taken not directly from those friends, but from Jackie’s point of view. Neither the unknown identity of the primary assaulter, nor the indirect nature of the quotes were made clear in the final story. I believe that sexual assault, like any traumatic event, ought to be discussed with the utmost sensitivity and caution. I can understand Erdely’s hesitation to make Jackie recall a name that made nightmares resurface. But when we are dealing with a public discourse — one that seeks to validate the gravity and prevalence of sexual assaults on campus — compromising checkable facts for accommodation doesn’t cut it. The omitted facts and missing quote origins didn’t cut it for readers of Rolling Stone, either, and shortly after the article’s publication, its credibility underwent serious scrutiny by many, most notably through a response article published by the Washington Post. Furthermore, on Sunday, the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism published a report, described as “a piece of journalism ... about a failure of journalism.� The report explains with great detail the numerous ways in which the reporting, editing and factchecking surrounding Erde-
ly’s story was flawed. A lot of these mistakes revolved around Erdely’s insistence that she correspond with Jackie in a way that respected the sensitivity surrounding her alleged assault and allowed Jackie to withhold any names or details that triggered an emotional response. Beyond (perhaps, wrongly) smearing the image and reputation of Jackie, the fraternity in question and the administration of the University of Virginia, Erdely’s story brings to light a fundamental problem surrounding the way we talk about sexual assault: that we don’t. Until we are given more opportunities to speak openly on the subject of campus sexual assaults, the need to compromise journalistic integrity in order to accommodate victims of sexual assault will continue. No real conclusions will be reached, and no progress will be made. “A Rape on Campus� and its content are difficult subjects to talk about if one is not acquainted with the cold hard facts firsthand. So I won’t make matters worse by theorizing as to what might have happened, and how, and why. What I can say with some level of assurance is this: Either a student named Jackie was brutally sexually assaulted at a campus party, or that the same student named Jackie brutally made up and fed a disillusioned journalist
the story of a campus sexual assault. However disgusting and unpleasant as either scenario may be, nobody can know for sure what happened — or didn’t happen — on the night of September 28, 2012. There are facts we can be sure of, though, and the fact that Erdely and her editors failed immensely to comply by standard journalistic procedures is one of them. Furthermore, the illegitimacy that may become attached to claims of campus sexual assaults as a result of the inconsistencies in this story was completely preventable. Erdely’s attempt to protect Jackie has ultimately harmed her. If Jackie didn’t want to be scrutinized and questioned, she shouldn’t have agreed to correspond with a journalist and make her story public. And if Sabrina Erdely felt that Jackie was an unreliable source, she should have found a new focus for her story. Although I do wish that we will one day be able to speak openly about sexual assault — or better yet, that sexual assaults don’t occur to begin with — the fact of the matter is this: Compromising fact-fueled research and proper journalistic ethics for the sake of “accommodation� and “sensitivity� will get us nowhere.

Senior to-dos for the final stretch NICKI HALENZA Opinions columnist
To
my dearest fellow seniors, let me just quickly draw attention to the fact that we have five more weeks at the University before we graduate. I realize half of you are probably still in complete denial of this fact, shaking your heads, with fingers in your ears and eyes squinted closed. Instead of dwelling on this shocking reality, you’re hopefully using these last five weeks to do all of your favorite college student activities and maybe knock a couple of things off your bucket list. However, while you’re cramming in to-dos as you wrap up your college experience, don’t forget to stick to some basics:
Chill with your pals OK, yes, duh, obviously — I know we aren’t all planning on being hermits, curling up in a ball and crying in our apartments over the inevitable end of college. But with Netflix bingewatching, being an antisocial hermit is an all too real possibility. Despite the temptation,
don’t forget to hang out with your best buds. For many of us, this will be the last time we live within walking distance or in annoyingly close quarters with some of our closest friends for life. A 2007 Purdue University study on college friendships found that participants moved six times during the course of 19 years post graduation. The typical distance between these old college friends reached 895 miles. But, as the study also indicates, despite the distance, many people we meet in college will be our lifelong friends. Still, sadly it will probably be the last time we have the ability to see these friends every single day, so take advantage of it now.
Eat lots of food Food is the solver of all problems. If you are sad and scared about graduating, have a slice of pizza (or ten) to soothe the emotional trauma. Just kidding, that’s terrible advice. Rather, take time to enjoy some of campus’s favorite food joints as you say au revoir to 2 a.m. Green Street restaurant trips and other generally poor dietary habits (no, seriously, there are studies about how bad we are at eating healthfully — as in too much soda intake, erratic eating patterns, too much fast food, not
enough veggies ... you know the drill). Start your morning with one of those fancy, Fruity Pebble-covered donuts from Pandamonium Doughnuts. Grab a few tacos and guac from Maize. Find the courage deep within your soul to consume one of Fat Sandwich’s calorie-ridden sandwiches (admittedly, I’m still scared to tackle Fat Sandwich.) Experience the splendor of C-U delicacies.
Hang out on the Quad The Main Quad in all of its grassy, sidewalk-y glory is what we consider the central beacon of our University community. With a view of some of the oldest and most beautiful buildings on our campus, there’s no better spot to reminisce about four years of grueling exams, too many group projects and repulsive 8 a.m. classes. Chances are one or all of those things most likely took place in one of those beautiful buildings surrounding the Quad. And if you’re not one of those Quad-going slackliners, Frisbee throwers or HulaHoopers, no problem. Maybe do a quick Google search of our famous University alumnus Nick Offerman’s Reddit response regarding how to have fun on the Quad. (Warning: It’s hilarious and mostly illegal so
I probably shouldn’t even be endorsing this — but whatever, I’m graduating.)
Abandon a night of homework or two There’s a little old phrase that goes something like this: You’ll never remember the nights you got plenty of sleep. To cater that phrase to seniors: You’ll never remember the nights you stayed in and did homework. However, you will (probably) remember the times you went to Wednesday night karaoke or Tuesday night Ride the Rail. Moral of the story, take advantage of fun weeknight opportunities when they arise. I’m willing to bet if you made it all the way to graduation in the first place, you spent plenty of nights in, working hard and doing homework, forsaking an adequate social life. So, my dear seniors, I leave you with these non-conclusive suggestions on how to spend your last five weeks. But, please, for your sake, do far more than what’s on this list. Soak up the last month of college and enjoy your remaining time as a Fighting Illini student.

Volunteers help work the packaging lines for Illini Fighting Hunger. The organization is preparing to package 148,000 meal for Saturday’s Community & Campus Day of Service.
Illini fighting hunger, strengthening C-U BY EMILY SCOTT STAFF WRITER
Packaging 148,000 meals in one day — or one thousand for every year that the University has served the public — is no small task. But that’s the goal, and it takes a lot of organization, time, money and hardworking volunteers: the key ingredients to this Saturday’s third annual “Community & Campus Day of Service.” The event, organized by Illini Fighting Hunger in cooperation with the University of Illinois Office of Public Engagement, will take place at Memorial Stadium, with shift times ranging from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Illini Fighting Hunger’s president Max Colon describes the day of service as a “full-circle event.” Not only will volunteers help package meals to be distributed by the Eastern Illinois Foodbank, but they will also learn more about hunger issues in the Champaign-Urbana area and throughout the nation that will equip them to spread the word. “We’re not only engaging them in education, but it’s experiential learning as well by having them do food packaging of their own,” Colon said. Colon said over 2,000 volunteers are lined up to work on Saturday to package fortified rice soy casseroles — made with a chicken-fla-
vored vegetable vitamin powder, a dehydrated vegetable blend, soy protein and long grain white rice that require little preparation and provide six servings each. According to Sarah Zehr, director of the Office of Public Engagement, the Eastern Illinois Foodbank provides meals for 530,000 individuals annually in Champaign County. “This would certainly be something that would impact the community by providing meals for people that are in need,” Zehr said. Spanning 14 counties overall, the Eastern Illinois Food Bank serves an average of 58,000 people monthly through their 220 agencies, according to their website “The volunteers themselves become better educated and more aware of the hunger issue across the nation and right here in Champaign-Urbana,” Colon said. He added that most student volunteers usually aren’t aware of the hunger problems that exist in their own community. “Getting them to realize that the bubble that we live in is not representative of the outside world is the first step,” Colon said. “Then they share that with others.” Though many students volunteer, the focus is to bring together members of the campus and communi-
ty in a way not many other events can. “It builds a sense of community-building among complete strangers,” Colon said. “At the same time, you’re engaging in service work through packaging meals.” According to Colon, this year’s “Community & Campus Day of Service” is set to be the biggest one yet, breaking records from last year. Illini Fighting Hunger is an RSO whose student leaders partner with community organizations to increase the frequency of meal packaging events that will impact the immediate community and beyond. Separately, on April 14, they will celebrate their one-millionth packaged meal, which was packaged on February 28. The landmark achievement will be celebrated by both the group as well as its sponsors with an event at Memorial Stadium. Like the “Community & Campus Day of Service,” reaching one million meals was no small task, but Colon said they are ready to package their next million. “We’re gearing up for a very fun event,” he said of Saturday’s event. “It’s people coming together and a great way to meet new people and gain new experiences.”

BONEYARD a gallery.” The art show consists of over 50 displaying artists; booths of art vendors, art for purchase, live art, music, installations, all of which are being featured in a three-room, 30,000 square-foot gallery and exhibit space. While the art show is the largest art venue of Boneyard, the timing and planning behind the event rings true to the “pop-up” effect it encompasses. Originally, there had been a different event planned at the Fluid Event Center for this weekend, leaving Harsh battling with the idea of partaking in Boneyard altogether.

mula and expand it into this space?’” Harsh said. “It wasn’t until a month out that we really got an idea of what we were going to do with the space, and it took a while to sort that out, but once it came together, it made sense.” Jeff Grant, member of the 40 North Board and owner of the Fluid Event Center, was one of the components to making that vision a success. “For me, art is a huge component of what builds our community. To be able to put together an event like this, I think it’s going to be super awesome,” Grant said. “There’s not a place like this in Champaign, so for us, it was trying to bring in things that folks in Champaign didn’t even realize we were missing.” A facility of this nature allows the art show to be what it is, bringing in several components to be experienced all at once: live music, live graffiti, hanging art, massive sculptures, jewelry and hula hoops for sale all in
the same building. “These sculptures (that will be featured in the show), our venue is probably the only venue in all of Boneyard that even lends itself to be capable of handling something like,” Grant said. Due to the statue of the sculptures, this venue allows artists to be featured in a show where they might not always be able to display their work — something that Creamean said he thinks Boneyard does best. “In all honesty, I think that (Boneyard) brings acceptance,” Creamean said. “With art and creativity, you’re putting your heart and soul into whatever you’re making. You’re putting whatever you are at your most vulnerable form. At least that’s what I do. To put that out there and have it appreciated by a vast array of people, it’s a good feeling. I think that Boneyard presents a lot of acceptance.”

A N E W K I N D O F A RT Local artist Allen Creamean, among others, will display works at 13th annual Boneyard Arts Festival BY FRANCES WELCH STAFF WRITER
Looming over the side of I-74, with a Popeyes and Days Inn across the street, stands Allen Creamean’s billboard, “Gritting Teeth.� Creamean’s image of gritted teeth with red lips and a green nose was created initially with just acrylic markers. While the gritted smile will only stay in this location for some time, Creamean’s art will continue to move throughout Champaign with the 40 North Sky Gallery Billboard Competition. Creamean was one of six winners and will also be a part of 40 North’s annual Boneyard Arts Festival. “One of the best things about this is that there’s a very open mind when it comes to art here (in the community). Everybody is really interested and open to everybody else’s art, and there’s such a vast array,� Creamean said. “There’s a big music scene, art scene, there’s a lot of different views on things, and they all come together very well.� Beginning Thursday on the University’s campus,
the Boneyard Arts Festival is an annual event put on by 40 North, the Champaign County Arts Council. For four days, art will be showcased in various businesses and venues across Champaign County as part of the festival. Another feature of the festival is a two-day event titled, “Super Mega Awesome Big Fun Art Show,� presented by The Common Mind creative collective, where art similar to Creamean’s will be featured. It will debut Friday at the Fluid Events Center in Champaign, which is the largest venue to be offered at the festival since its inception 13 years ago. In previous years, there have been “pop-up� galleries, where art is displayed but not usually associated with exhibitions. The galleries possessed an element of surprise and interactive experience, which is essentially what Super Mega Awesome Big Fun Art Show is: a very large pop-up gallery, according to Matt Harsh, creator of The Common Mind, a collective of people that hopes to introduce urban art to the C-U

Dudek tears ACL in spring practice Freshman wide receiver ‘could return as early as October 2015’ BY PETER BAILEY-WELLS SPORTS EDITOR
Illinois freshman wide receiver Mike Dudek tore his anterior cruciate ligament during Wednesday’s practice, head coach
Tim Beckman announced Wednesday afternoon. Dudek suffered the injury during a non-contact drill. According to Beckman, Dudek will have the knee surgically repaired “as soon
as possible.� “Knowing how hard Mikey works, our biggest challenge will be to keep him on pace and not let him push it too hard and too fast,� Beckman said in a press release. Dudek could return as early as October 2015, according to Beckman. Dudek was a 2014 fresh-

Gymnasts get set for NCAA Championships BY DANIEL COLLINS ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
Head coach Justin Spring is confident that his No. 5-ranked Illinois men’s gymnastics team has enough talent to make a strong run at the NCAA Championships this weekend in Norman, Oklahoma. For him, the two biggest factors that will determine the Illini’s fate are execution and overcoming nerves. “That’s the hardest part of my job,� Spring said of coaching mental toughness, “The team just needs to develop that belief.� The tournament takes place April 9-11. The first two days consist of team competition, and the final day is for individual competitions. The 12 teams are split up into two groups on the first day — a day session and night session. Illinois, who posted a qualifying average of 436.213, will compete in the night session. Spring believes that coming in ranked No. 5 can help take a little pressure off of the team. “A team who has something to prove is a little bit more empowered to go after it than a team who is supposed to win or a team that is supposed to be the best,� Spring said. One of the more composed gymnasts on the team this season has been Bobby Baker. The freshman is coming off a solid showing on March 27-28 at the Big Ten Championships in State College, Pennsylvania. Baker finished second in the all-around competition
and won Big Ten Gymnast and Freshman of the Year honors. “I’m not as much of the nervous type as other people,� Baker said. “Once the first day (of competition) arrives, then maybe.� Baker has just finished recovering from a head cold that slightly limited his practice leading up to the championships. His sickness is one of the many illnesses and injuries that have been hovering over the Illini all season. Regardless of the minor setback, Baker said he feels prepared enough to execute some of his best routines. Even though Illinois had a regular season record of 11-3, the numbers are a little misleading in terms of the team’s championship-winning potential. The team’s three losses were against No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 2 Stanford and No. 4 Michigan. The Illini also finished second in the Big Ten Championship behind No. 3 Penn State by six-tenths of a point. “Having the 10-0 winning streak at the beginning of the year made us really confident in our routines, but the couple loses leading up to Big Tens shook us up a little bit.� Baker said. “At the Big Tens, we didn’t take routines for granted, but we didn’t focus on all the small things that could’ve made a difference.� The last time the Illini won the NCAA Championship was in 2012. Those who still remain on the team from that championship year are

BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER
The Illinois baseball team makes it a goal to get after the opponent’s starting pitcher every time it takes the field. Once the starter is shelved, the Illini offense can get after the opponent’s bullpen and do damage. St. Louis was the latest victim of the game plan as the Billikens used five different pitchers to try to contain head coach Dan Hartleb’s team. The effort was to no avail, as Illinois (26-6-1, 5-1 Big Ten) won the midweek matchup 7-2, extending its win streak to seven. “Getting at the starter is big. Scoring some runs to help out starter is always big,� said left fielder Ryan Nagle, who hit 2-for-4 with

the Billkens hit a single and catcher Jake Henson doubled to give St. Louis the 1-0 lead. The senior managed to get out of the jam with a strike-
out and forced groundout. Third baseman Ryne Roper was Illinois’ first base runner when he was walked to lead off the inning. Krug responded with a slow grounder that was bobbled by St. Louis shortstop and Illinois shortstop Adam Walton hit into a fielder’s choice that led to a first and third situation for the Illini. Nagle blasted a double past the St. Louis third baseman to give Illinois the 2-1 lead. The Illini tacked on three more runs in the fourth. Catcher Jason Goldstein slapped a double that just stayed fair down the leftfield line and right fielder Casey Fletcher drove him in with a single to give Illinois the 3-1 lead. After a David Kerian walk and a Matthew James fielder’s choice, Roper hit a blooper into left field that scored Fletcher from third. Krug followed it up with a

Through the first five innings of Wednesday’s game against Indiana State, it looked like it wasn’t going to be a good day for the Illinois softball team. In the sixth inning at Eichelberger Field, Illinois (15-21) looked like the team that has won six of its last seven games, while averaging just over 11 runs per game as the Illini topped the visiting Sycamores (13-21) 5-3, courtesy of some late-game heroics from captain Allie Bauch. In a huge two-out rally in the sixth inning for the Illini, the junior hit a game-winning grand slam. The grand slam was the first of Bauch’s career and could not have come at a better time for the Illini. “It was really cool,� Bauch said. “But really, you have to give credit to the players who got on base in front of me. They gave me the opportunity, and I was just the lucky one to come up to the plate.� While the comeback was exciting for the Illini, the first six innings did pose concerns for the coaching staff. Head coach Terri Sullivan said that the team’s play was very frustrating, especially considering how well Illinois has played lately. Not only did the Illini not score runs early in the game, but they also made it very easy on the Sycamore defense. All 18 outs Illinois recorded were fly-outs. “We were just trying to do too much,� Sullivan said. “We got caught up in how well we have been hitting recently, and we started going for what wasn’t there.� Finally, in the fifth inning, shortstop Ruby Rivera took Indiana State’s Taylor Lockwood deep for a solo home run to make the score 3-1 in favor of Indiana State. Pitcher Jade Vecvanags had another solid outing for Illinois, but three walks in

catcher Jess Perkins on her toes, frequently threatening to steal.

Hot competition in Arizona
Men’s track faces No. 4, No. 5 team BY LAUREN MROZ ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The Illinois men’s track and field team will head to Tucson, Arizona this weekend to participate in the Jim Click Shootout. The University of Arizona will play host to the event at Roy P. Drachman Stadium. This year marks the Illini’s first appearance in the competition.
Illinois will compete in a field consisting of Arizona, Purdue, No. 5 University of Southern California, and No. 4 LSU. These are the highest-ranked teams Illinois has faced during the outdoor season. Last weekend, Illinois won six event titles on the second day of competition at the Eastern Illinois Big Blue Classic to complete a comeback victory in Charleston, Illinois, where the Illini finished first in a field of 12. Head coach Mike Turk’s
team has finished first in both its meets thus far in the outdoor season. Freshman Jonathan Wells won the high jump and long jump title last weekend at EIU. His clearance in the high jump ranks second in school history. Senior DJ Zahn’s time of 20.17 in the 200m was good enough for second-place at the competition and is tied for fifth best in school history.

Homestand key for Illini Tennis aims to maintain perfect Big Ten record BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER
The Illinois men’s tennis team remains perfect in conference play after two wins in Michigan, and returns home to face Iowa on Saturday and Nebraska on Sunday. The No. 3-ranked Illini (193, 7-0 Big Ten) are entering the weekend on a four-match winning streak. They haven’t lost a home match since January, when they were defeated by 4-3 by then-No. 11 Duke. If the winning streak continues, the team has a chance to put together its first undefeated Big Ten regular season since 2005. Illinois took sole possession of first place in the conference last weekend after being tied at the top with Minnesota. The Golden Gophers split their two road matches, falling to Ohio State and defeating Penn State. The Illini topped two struggling teams from Michigan on the road, beating the inconsistent Spartans 6-1 and the shaky Wolverines 4-0. While this weekend’s opponents are faring better in the Big Ten standings, the Illini’s recipe for success should be the same. Last weekend was another display of improved doubles play and a show of the team’s depth. The Illini have won five of seven doubles points (and four of four in the Big Ten) since splitting up top pair seniors Ross Guignon and Tim Kopinski. Head coach Brad Dancer said he likes the play of Guignon with freshman Aron Hiltzik, and the pair is 2-1 in matches they’ve completed. Dancer said Guignon was the spark for the team in doubles against Michigan.
After competing just a few miles away last weekend, the Illini women’s track and field team will be doing lots of traveling for its next meet. The team will compete in the Jim Click Shootout Saturday in Tucson, Arizona, hosted by the University of Arizona. This will be the Illini’s first appearance at the meet, which will provide quality competition. After last week’s strong showing at the Eastern Illinois Big Blue Classic, Illinois looks to continue its success. Senior Amanda Duvendack had a successful individual performance in the 400 meters at the Big Blue Classic and is aiming to finish the final stretch of her collegiate campaign on a high note. Duvendack is racing in the 800 meters this weekend, which she said would be another race to have under her belt this spring. “The main goal of any of these really competitive meets where we travel to find some good weather and some good competition is to just work on what we’ve been practicing all season,” Duvendack said. “And hopefully that turns into a PR.” Duvendack did not compete in the indoor season for the Illini while she was recovering from a foot injury. “Not being able to compete indoor this season has kind of been different for me,” Duvendack said. “I was just not practicing racing — but it does add a different element and one that you get better at as you keep doing it.” Duvendack and junior Lindsey Rakoznik were two members of the relay team that won the 4x800-meter relay. Rakoznik is looking for another strong performance this weekend as she prepares for the Drake Relays

She pointed to her faster times this spring as evidence. “Staying focused and being smart about what my body can take is important for this season so that I can complete the full season,” Rakosnik said. The lone winner from last weekend was junior Britten Petrey, who competed in the 3,000 meter steeplechase. This weekend, Petrey said she hopes to improve and gain more steam toward her most important month of the season. “What I’m looking forward to the most this weekend is making the small improvements that I felt I needed to this past weekend and make them the adjustments this weekend,” Petrey said. “I would really like to PR again, that would be great. It would be a nice stepping stone for May and my upcoming weeks and races, so what I’m really looking forward to is making myself a better athlete all-around in the steeplechase and seeing what the competition is like and being in nice weather.”

Illinois’ Aron Hiltzik attempts a return during the tennis game vs. Ohio State at Atkins Tennis Center on March 29. Illinois looks to continue flawless play this weekend. “I think our doubles chemistry has been good. (Ross) set the tone for the whole match with his doubles play,” Dancer said. “He was awesome.” While Guignon has been integral to the doubles lineup, he also saw his first singles action in more than a month against Michigan State. He fell to the Spartans’ Harry Jadun 6-4, 4-6, 0-1 (9-11). Fellow senior Blake Bazarnik also returned to the lineup last weekend in both singles and doubles for the first time since midMarch. Bazarnik had a successful outing, defeating Michael Dube of MSU and Tyler Gardiner of Michigan. He also picked up a doubles win against MSU with partner junior Jared Hiltzik. Bazarnik said he’s taking things slowly. “Pretty much take it one day at a time,” Bazarnik said. “Working hard, working on different things in practice.” Iowa and Nebraska are tied
for fifth in the Big Ten with Indiana at 3-3. While neither Michigan State nor Michigan have any ranked singles players, the Hawkeyes bring one in No. 112 Matt Hagan. Hagan has already made the trip to Urbana earlier this year: he competed in the singles draw at the JSM Challenger of Urbana-Champaign in November. Hagan defeated the Illini’s Brian Page in the first round. Iowa also sports a ranked doubles pair in No. 84 Hagan and Dominic Patrick. The Huskers are coming off a weekend split in Indiana, losing to the Hoosiers 6-1 and beating Purdue 4-3. They already have as many wins as last year in the conference with three. Nebraska has never finished with a record better than 3-9 in the Big Ten or better than ninth in the 12-team tennis conference.While it’ll be a tall order to beat Illinois this weekend, finishing the season in the middle-of-the-pack of the

Illinois added two more insurance runs in the sixth when Krug and James scored on a throwing error on a routine ground ball. The two runs gave Illinois the 7-2 lead. After the rocky start to the game, McDonnell settled down the rest of the way. The senior pitched 5 2/3 innings, struck out seven, gave up seven hits and two earned runs. After getting two outs in the

Closer Tyler Jay came in the last two innings to secure the win. Hartleb knew his bullpen could get the job done without McDonnell having to throw more pitches. “Rob was up in pitch totals, and we could’ve left him out there, but that’s what we have a bullpen for,” Hartleb said. “I thought Nick did and good job and then we get Tyler in there for the last two innings.”

Women’s rowing club prepares for Don Lubber’s Cup BY EMMA MCGOWEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Illinois Collegiate Rowing Invite is just over a week away, April 18. To prepare, the Illinois women’s club will compete in Don Lubber’s Cup in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this weekend. Don Lubber’s Cup will be the Illini’s last regular season race — the event was named after former Grand Valley State president and rowing supporter Arend D. (Don) Lubbers. The Illini will face different opponents in each of their multiple dual-style races — two on Saturday and one on Sunday. “It’s a chance for us to get a lot of race experience and know what to expect in the race,” senior club president Meridith Kisting said, “You (realize) what you need to
do to stay focused (throughout the weekend) and you (come to understand) how your body feels at various points during each race.” While practice is usually held at Homer Lake, approximately 12 miles southeast of campus in DeWitt, Illinois, the team has only recently been able to get back on the water because the lake was still frozen. But that doesn’t mean that the team doesn’t practice. All throughout the winter, the team has a prescribed training schedule and uses the indoor rowing machines at the ARC to continue honing their skills. “It’s a huge relief when you get back on the water,” Kisting said, “There’s a lot more to consider. Winter conditioning prepares us for spring, but you never know what’s going to hap-
pen until you get back out (there).” One challenge that the team faces in Grand Rapids is that the race course — on Spring Lake — will be very exposed and can experience high winds. Due to the fact that Homer Lake is sheltered from the wind, rowing in these conditions isn’t one of the team’s strong suits — they don’t often get to practice in high winds. However, during spring training, when the team went to Gainesville, Georgia, the rowers were exposed to more adverse we at h er c o nd it io n s , enabling them to become more familiar with how the weather could affect their races. Illinois will compete against club teams from Cincinnati, Purdue, Northwestern and Grand Valley

Tennis targets Big Ten opponents on the road The Illinois women’s tennis team has had an up-anddown season with a 10-9 record, but don’t tell the players that. The Illini are as confident as ever as they head out of town this weekend. The last time the team hit the road they lost five straight. The difference now is that Illinois is on a three-game win streak. Illinois head coach Michelle Dasso said she believes her players have put the losses behind them and are eager to make a statement against Wisconsin on Friday (10-7, 4-3 conference) and Minnesota (15-6, 5-2 conference) on Sunday. “We are done with the nerves,” Dasso said. “We are excited to prove a point on the road this weekend.” The inconsistent season has made the identity of this Illini team unclear. Impressive wins at home against teams like Indiana and Long Beach State have
been overshadowed by several bad losses on the road. Dasso is confident her team’s identity will be made clear by the season’s end. After the upcoming two road matches, Illinois will return home for two matches against Nebraska and Iowa. “I think we are showing glimpses of our identity with these past wins by bouncing back, staying together and playing more poised in our matches,” Dasso said. The team has stuck with individual workouts this week as opposed to team practices due to the success that the change brought when implemented last week. Senior Melissa Kopinski likes the switch-up and has noticed that the changes, especially winning, have led to an increase of swagger on the part of the players. “The team is definitely walking with a bounce in their step after this weekend,” Kopinski said. “But everyone knows it’s only a start and we need to continue focusing throughout the next

several matches.” Kopinski credits the attitude of her teammates, in addition to the changes in practice routines, as a reason why the team has been able to find success recently. Despite facing a lot of adversity this season with injuries and a lack of confidence at times, she said the team has done a great job with zeroing in on the positives and moving forward. “There’s still plenty of time to make a dent in the rankings,” Kopinski said. “We just have to keep fighting.” Sophomore Louise Kwong has also noticed higher spirits around the team. The Canada-native believes confidence is continuing to build and grows larger after every win. At the same time, motivation for the Illini also grows larger with every loss the team suffers. “We’ve had a lot of struggles this season, however we like to keep a positive attitude,” Kwong said. “We’re

Josh Harrison takes four-year extension
CURTIS COMPTON TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Pittsburgh Pirates’ Josh Harrison throws out Atlanta Braves’ Phil Gosselin after fielding his grounder during the sixth inning on Sept. 24 at Turner Field in Atlanta.
CINCINNATI — The Pirates announced Wednesday a four-year, $27.3 mi l lion contract extension with third baseman Josh Harrison that includes club options for the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Harrison receives a $1 million signing bonus, according to two sources. He will earn the $2.8 million salary in 2015 that he and the Pirates agreed upon to avoid arbitration. The deal is worth $5 million in 2016, $7.5 million in ‘17 and $10 million in ‘18. The new deal gives
Justin Verlander placed on disabled list Just i n Verl a nder termed his concern “very low� about the right triceps strain that has caused him to go on the 15-day disabled list for the fi rst time in his career. Verlander said he spoke with Tigers manager Brad Ausmus and head trainer Kevin Rand by phone from Lakeland, Fla., and they said not to
the Pirates three additiona l yea rs of control over the 27-year-old Harrison. After spending parts of three seasons in the majors as a utility player, Harrison earned an everyday role in 2014 because of improvement on offense and his defensive versatility. He fi lled in right fi eld, left fi eld, second base and third base as injuries or poor performance necessitated, earning a spot on the AllStar team and fi nishing ninth in MVP voting.
push it if he wasn’t 100 percent. “ We’re ex t reme ly optimistic that he’ll make his next start,� Ausmus said, although his next start hasn’t yet been determined.� Verlander termed the upper triceps strain “grabby� and “achy.� Asked what he felt on the last couple of pitches he threw Sun-
day, Verlander said: “It just kind of grabbed me a little bit, and the next day it was sore, which is why I wasn’t able to go on Tuesday. Obviously, if I was sore the day after throwing a bullpen, it was probably not the smartest move to try and pitch in a game on Tuesday. That is what set everything back a little bit.�
Cody Ross officially signs with Oakland OAKLAND, Calif. — The A’s have agreed to terms with outfi elder and former Giants postseason hero Cody Ross, the team announced Wednesday morning. Ross was released Saturday by the Arizona Diamondbacks, who will be on the hook for most
appearances. He was a surprising star for the Giants in 2010 after being picked up off the waiver wire. Ross had five home runs that postseason, including two in one game off Philadelphia Phillies ace Roy Halladay, and was the NLCS MVP.
of the $9.5 million he’s owed. The A’s will only have to pay a pro-rated portion of the major league minimum salary. Ross had a dislocated hip in 2013 and didn’t play well in his return last year. He hit just .252 with only two home runs and 15 RBIs in 219 plate
