Next Urbana mayor to be elected Tuesday DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Urbana citizens will vote for the city mayor on Tuesday, choosing between Republican candidate Rex Bradfield and incumbent Democrat Mayor Laurel Prussing. This election mirrors the 2009 election, in which Prussing won against Bradfield with 53 percent of the vote while Bradfield received 32 percent. After winning the Democratic candidacy on Feb. 26, Prussing said she would continue addressing city improvements, such as the Boneyard Project. “The cities that have done this have found it to be not only something beautiful but a powerful incentive for development,” Prussing said. “People like to be in a beautiful setting. This is something we

She’s four years behind the eight ball.” He also said bringing in major restaurant chains to southeast Urbana would increase business along Philo Road and benefit the local economy by providing jobs and bringing in more tax revenue. Polls will open on Tuesday at various locations and the results will be announced later that night.

CHICAGO — Roger Ebert, one of the nation’s most influential fi lm critics who used newspapers, television and social media to take readers into theaters and even into his own life, was laid to rest Monday. Praise was given from political leaders, family and people he’d never met but who chose movies based on the direction of his thumb. “He didn’t just dominate his profession, he defi ned it,” said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel in a brief eulogy to hundreds of mourners who gathered at Holy Name Cathedral just blocks from where Ebert spent more than 40 years as the fi lm critic for the Chicago Sun-Times. Ebert died last Thursday at the age of 70 after a yearslong battle with cancer. It was Ebert who told readers which fi lms to see and needed to see and which ones they should stay away from, Emanuel said, remembering the influence Ebert had on movie goers through his newspaper reviews and the immensely popular television show he hosted, with fellow critic Gene Siskel, during which they would issue thumbs-up or thumbs-down assessments. “Roger spent a lot of time sitting through bad movies so we didn’t have to,” joked the mayor. In a 90 -minute funeral Mass, speakers took turns talking about how Ebert spent his career communicating his ideas about movies, social issues, the newspaper business and fi nally the health problems that left him unable to speak. “He realized that connect-

ing to people was the main reason we’re all here and that’s what his life was all about,” said Sonia Evans, his stepdaughter, her voice choking with emotion. That realization, she and other speakers said, helped explain Ebert’s fascination with outlets such as Twitter and his blog that he took to just two days before he died to tell readers he was taking a “leave of presence.” “Roger was 24/7 before anybody thought of that term,” said John Barron, Ebert’s former boss at the Sun-Times, who said Ebert was among the fi rst to recognize the changing media landscape as well as the fi rst in the office to use a computer or send emails. Ebert was also a champion for the little guy, as over the years he weighed more and more on social issues and other topics that had nothing to do with fi lm. Gov. Pat Quinn spoke as much, if not more, about Ebert’s “passion for social justice” and the fact that he was a “union man,” as he did about Ebert as a fi lm critic. Ebert’s widow, Chaz, who received a standing ovation as she made her way to the lectern to speak, expanded on that devotion. “It didn’t matter to him your race, creed, color,” she said. “He had a big enough heart to accept and love all.” That was the message of Jonathan Jackson, who, after relating comments from his father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, told the crowded church why Ebert’s early support

Monsanto profits increase despite debatable Act Despite controversy regarding the 2013 Agriculture Appropriations bill, signed by President Barack Obama in March, Monsanto Company saw a quarterly increase in profits for the second consecutive year, according to profit reports released last Wednesday. Monsanto’s second quarter gross profit increased from $2,705 in 2012 to $3,070 even though a section of the new legislature, titled the Farmer Assurance Provision and coined the term “Monsanto Protection Act,” has sparked debate. The section was not reviewed by the Agricultural or Judiciary Committees. The act protects large, sustainable agriculture companies, like Monsanto Company, from lawsuits concerning its genetically modified seeds. “You can basically take a gene from another organism — from anything — and put it into another plant or animal,” said Jack Juvik, professor in ACES and specialist in plant genetics. “In the case of the seeds that are commonly used now for GMOs (genetically modified organisms) like corn and soybean seeds, usually what they’ll put in is a gene that will confer
insect resistance or resistance to herbicides.” Under the law, in the case of a lawsuit against genetically modified crops, farmers are allowed to plant and cultivate these crops that have been approved by the USDA while they are being challenged in the courts. Andrew Flach, spokesman for Rep. Rodney Davis, said the USDA had already been practicing this law regarding GMOs, but the law provides a clearer course of action. If the genetically modified seeds are being discussed in court because of consumers’ health risks, large companies like Monsanto will still have the ability to sell the modified seeds to be planted, and federal courts will be unable to halt production. After Obama signed the bill into law, the USDA became able to override a federal court ruling meant to stop the planting of a genetically modified crop. Despite the avid controversy, according to Monsanto’s profit reports, the company continues to experience rapid growth, much of which the company attributed to its global corn business. According a Monsanto press release, “the point of the Farmer Assurance Provision is to strike a careful balance allowing farmers
to continue to plant and cultivate their crops subject to appropriate environmental safeguards, while USDA conducts any necessary further environmental reviews.” Opponents of this section of legislature have argued that it was hidden within the Agricultural Appropriations Bill, which was expected to be approved. “This was a broader piece of legislation that legislators voted for to keep the government operating,” said Tracy Sulkin, political science professor. “It is possible for members of the committees and subcommittees who work on a bill or resolution to make changes during ‘mark up’ that add provisions, sometimes anonymously. That’s what happened in this case.” Flach said he agreed that Congress should strive to utilize a more regular committee process. “It’s disappointing when provisions like this are attached to blanket appropriations bills,” he said. “(We hope) that in the future, Congress can return to regular order and allow bills to go through the committee process to be given an up or down vote on the individual merits of each proposal.” Food Democracy Now is one national organization leading
SEC discusses rule changes BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER
Urbana-Champaign Senate proposals may soon have to be submitted in complete text before Senate Executive Committee meetings, if a new proposal is passed. The SEC discussed a proposal to Senate Standing Rule 14 proposed by the General University Policy committee and forwarded it to the University Senate and Statutes Procedure committee. The proposal says bills forwarded to the Senate must first be submitted to the SEC in their
full form. Nicholas Burbules, SEC member and GUP committee chair, said the proposal came from senators submitting placeholder bills that served as an “embarrassment” to the senate. These bills are used to hold the place of bills that have not been drafted at the time of the SEC meeting. He said next year, when SEC meetings will be held the week before Senate meetings if the proposed calendar is passed, having the full text of the bill would become more imperative.
The SEC approved the proposed schedule for the 2013-14 academic year, and the calendar will be forwarded to the full Senate. The new calendar included a provision to hold SEC meetings the week prior to full senate meetings. The senate may also hold meetings in the Illini Union for the first semester because of the cost of having meetings in Levis Faculty Center. The full senate will vote on the calendar at its meeting April 29.

Attempted sexual assault in Urbana DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
An Urbana man was arrested early Sunday morning on the charge of attempted sexual assault at Allen Hall, 1005 W. Gregory Drive. Gregory Hayes, 32 , was arrested and taken to the Champaign County Jail around 4:50 a.m. Sunday after he attempted to sexually assault a female entering the residence hall, according to Captain Roy
BONEYARD FROM PAGE 1A tured in an exhibit at the YMCA. Rojas will present a series of 27 mixed media paintings. “I believe that the Boneyard Arts Festival will benefit my work as an artist since every year the festival draws in so many people,” Rojas said in an email. “I am grateful to the YMCA for giving me the opportunity to show my work to such a large, enthusiastic audience.” At another venue, the Gable Home, graduate students Mateusz Nosek and his partner
Acree of the University Police Department. He said Hayes observed the female walking and followed her to the hall. As the female swiped her keycard and entered the building, Hayes pulled her back outside and the female began screaming. A male resident of Allen Hall who had a window open heard the screaming came downstairs, which scared Hayes away. The
male student called the police. Hayes was located using video footage from an Allen Hall security camera. Hayes appeared in court Monday, where he was charged with attempted aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Hayes’ bond was set at $500,000 , and his next court date was set for May 14 at 9 a.m.
Wiktor Czechura will present their model of the Axis Park Tower, a mid-rise hotel in downtown Chicago. This will be the fi rst year Nosek has participated in the festival, but he believes it is a way to give exposure to students and artists in the Champaign area. “I believe it will give precedent to the notion that architecture is an art form,” Nosek said in an email. “I would like for others to appreciate the time and dedication involved.” This year, 40 North will be asking people to vote for their favorite venues via text. The
winning venue will receive free 2014 registration for the Boneyard Arts Festival, while it normally costs a venue $50 to register. The Boneyard Arts Festival was created in 2002 and named after the Boneyard Creek that runs through Champaign, the campus and into Urbana. “It was a link that brought all the different areas together,” White said. “The festival is represented in all those areas as well as the outlying areas of Champaign County.”

the battle against the Monsanto Protection Act. The group had a petition with more than 250,000 signatures of citizens urging the president to veto the bill. However, not everyone disagrees with the passing of this legislature. Juvik said there were many different tests that needed to be passed, such as guaranteeing the GMOs would not harm animals or humans, and it cost nearly $1 billion to run these tests before the government first approved of their production. “I think there’s a fairly high level of reassurance that (the genetically modified crops) are going to be safe,” he said. “The problem is that the companies are making a lot of money off of this, and it’s perceived by many people who don’t understand the processes and who don’t understand that it is pretty safe that the companies are acting like God, almost.” Juvik said he believes people find Monsanto’s moves controversial because it is a new, alien concept of food. “Many of the questions are moral issues: is it right for us to monkey around with the DNA of other organisms?”

every single course has some sort of Facebook group,” Pilla said. “The tools that are being mandated by the professors and higher-up administrators may not suffice the needs of the actual users: the students.” StudyCloud currently offers only four features: chat, event, post and question. “You see what people really need by adding stuff, not just adding everything and then taking away what they don’t need,” said Agarwal. “That’s how you learn what they want.” Although the version has been up and running for only about a month, StudyCloud is already adapting to unexpected feedback
regarding user login through Facebook. “We definitely want to wean off Facebook as soon as possible,” Lee said. “We figured that every college student pretty much has a Facebook, so it would be easy for them to log in, but actually what we found was that users prefer to create an account.” In the future, there will be an option for users to employ all StudyCloud social features by connecting to their Facebook accounts. The next major redesign of StudyCloud is scheduled for fall.
he understood the value of an important fi lm was authenticity and not the fact that it depicted your interests.” As when other Chicago icons such as former Cubs great Ron Santo died, fans of Ebert flocked to the church to pay tribute to someone they saw as one of their own: a Chicago guy. Fans said they liked it that Ebert never left the city for Los Angeles or New York, and that he remained
a newspaper writer until the end. Some clapped when Barron ended his remarks with a story about how Ebert kept his word to stay at the paper. And they liked it that he didn’t hide after surgeons had to remove portions of his jaw. “He let himself be the face of cancer and that illness,” said Peggy Callahan, a 67-year-old retired teacher. “He did that and he kept doing that.”

Development of Parking Lot J nearly finalized Construction on apartments, hotel on Green Street expected to begin fall 2013 BY EARN SAENMUK STAFF WRITER
The Champaign City Council will fi nalize the development plan on Parking Lot J, near the corner of Green and Sixth streets, at Tuesday’s study session. If approved, the plan would allow construction on a new hotel and apartment complex starting fall 2013. The council began the proposal in March 2012 and selected JSM Development as the developer in August. “We’re going to see new devel-
opment,” City Manager Dorothy Ann David said. “That’s (going to) be very exciting, too.” According to the ordinance, the construction will include two 12-story buildings and a five-story parking garage. The ground fl oor will be used for retail space, with four stories of hotel rooms above it along Green Street. The project contains 108 hotel rooms , 297 apartments and approximately 21,000 square feet of retail space. The parking garage will have hourly public
parking spaces available. “I think the campus will benefit a lot from this project,” said council member Will Kyles, district 1. JSM Development will pay Champaign approximately $3.9 million to purchase the land, as well as share in the cost of a portion of a street reconstruction project of Healey Street between Sixth and Fourth streets. In case the council does not approve the Preliminaryor Final Planned Development, the ordinance stated there are more advantages in proceeding with the construction.

Lifting age limit on Plan B pill gives women control
R
eproductive rights were once again brought to the attention of the public, as a federal judge ruled that Plan B, or “the morning after pill,” should be available to women of all ages and over the counter. This ruling from last Friday eliminates previous concerns that women younger than 17 years old may have had regarding parental consent, and it also allows Plan B to be obtained much faster because a prescription will no longer be necessary. Because the cumbersome and time-consuming doctor’s appointment will be out the of the picture, women face one fewer obstacle in obtaining Plan B when it’s needed immediately after sexual intercourse. The sooner Plan B is used, the more effective it can be. Accessibility is critical, especially if contraceptives are not used regularly, if birth control was not used as prescribed or if a condom breaks. The new ruling will allow women to take more control over their own sexual behaviors and health. Its widespread availability to women of all ages will create a more open conversation around the use of Plan B. Directions are explicitly stated upon receipt of Plan B, like any other medication. Plan B contains a high level of hormones and should not be used regularly; it is a form of emergency contraception that must be made available to all sexually active women. Plan B One-Step offers a page of its website that can help women determine the best timeline for its use, having what it calls a “Countdown Clock,” which focuses on the circumstances of each individual woman’s situation. McKinley Health Center also provides information regarding Plan B and its use for students at the University who are interested or may have questions. Plan B can be used as a resource in the case of rape. We don’t choose to be raped, but we can choose our next action. Victims, without question, need accessibility to Plan B as quickly and easily as possible in these situations, should they decide they need it. But we must also allow for those who are sexually active to make decisions that suit them, regardless of age. As Plan B becomes more accessible in our nation, we encourage birth control to be equally as accessible, especially to young girls who may be at risk of unintended pregnancy and who may be in a difficult position when it comes to communicating their needs to their parents. With the proper awareness and education, anyone of any age can responsibly use an emergency contraceptive like Plan B. Lifting age restrictions on Plan B allows for an open conversation. It encourages accessibility. It encourages independent decisions about one’s own reproductive health. It allows women of all ages, regardless of circumstance, a necessary emergency precaution.

Paying taxes and liking it sARAH fISCHER Opinions columnist
As
Tax Day approaches, an increase in grumbling rumbles around campus and the nation in general. Questions about government intervention and functionality arise and the arguments against higher taxes come around again. While taxes remain difficult to pay, either for financial reasons or the fact that they’ve made the process incredibly confusing, I like paying taxes. And it’s not even a question of “the greater good,” of paying it forward or of supporting the community around me. I like taxes for incredibly selfish reasons. If you’ve read your history textbook, the influence of taxes on the American population stands out. The Stamp Act, the Sugar Act and the Boston Tea Party all helped to shape the initial nation and its decision to break from England. The United States started collecting income taxes briefly during the Civil War, but only began to collect them on a permanent basis since 1913. So what do we actually pay for when we send off our social security numbers and reveal everything of monetary value? Two sets of taxes, federal and state, take parts of the income generated each year to keep up state and national parks, roads, police and fire departments, education and various government and public services such as national defense and unemployment. While it’s important to civic-
minded folks that taxes support the nation as a whole, many arguments are raised about how the government “wastes taxpayer money.” I hear the argument a lot that paying taxes is only a way to keep up those too lazy to work, a way to burden the upper or middle classes with supporting those who “don’t work hard” or “don’t try.” A student in one of my classes about politics last semester kept making the argument that his family, namely his father, looked out for his family and his own. He wasn’t concerned about those around him. Let those fathers worry about their own families, as he did. Taxes only required him to spend his income to support others, when he could have saved it to better provide for his progeny. I’ll go one step further: I pay taxes to better me. Taxes are for my benefit, and mine alone. John Green, The New York Times bestselling author, created a YouTube video last fall titled “An Open Letter to Students Returning to School,” in which he discusses the benefits of schools, and how they don’t exist for the students’ benefit but rather for him. “I am better off in a well-educated world,” he says, “I want you to make my life better.” Taxes, for me, work the exact same way. Why do I want roads and bridges kept up? So I can take cross country road trips to California, so my aunt and uncle from Vancouver can visit and so I can see my sister perform in “The Producers.” Why do I want to pay for Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks? Because they’re beautiful. Because I want to see them before they dis-
appear. Because I want the opportunity to take my future kids there, to give them the same experience I had. Why don’t I mind contributing to disability and unemployment? Because an egalitarian society benefits me most. It creates a richer, happier and healthier society. Why do I enjoy paying for education? Because I, like Green, am better off in a well-educated world. I’m paying for the next Facebook; for a toaster that toasts without burning the bread; for faster, more fuel-efficient cars; and for a cure to Alzheimer’s. Even programs like Medicare and Medicaid and social security, programs that may not even still exist by the time I get to reap the benefits, I want those. I want to see where it’s gone wrong so I can see how to get it right. It’s about information and knowledge. It’s about me. I’m not saying the tax system is perfect, and I’m certainly not saying there is not need for improvements. There is. Welfare gets taken advantage of. We pay for unnecessary wars. Money into the government goes out in ways the public does respect — or it gets caught in Congress and doesn’t serve anyone, especially me. While I try to be as altruistic and civic-minded as possible, my taxes are just that: mine. They help me. They buy what I want to buy. They let me live the way I want to live and create the world I want to live in. I pay taxes with the knowledge that, although mandated, I’m taking advantage of the services for which I pay, not getting taken advantage of myself.

Be wary of employers’ health standards Tommy Heiser Opinions columnist
H
appen to like eating what you want, when you want and how ever much you want? Happen to like sitting on the couch after a long day at work? How about going out for drinks with your friends on the weekend? Too bad. In a society that heavily advocates free choice, it seems that our choices are being limited by decisions made beyond our control everyday. As an attempt to reduce the escalating costs of providing health care coverage, more employers are seeking to influence workers’ lifestyle choices. Let’s just say, because you’re not watching your waistline, management will do it for you, so it doesn’t affect their bottom line. Don’t like it? Find a new job. Many companies already offer wellness and reward-based programs with the purpose of inhibiting rising health care costs. Incentive programs with a potential gain, like money or better health, have low enrollment and have produced poor results. Along with a person’s behavior, there exists neural evidence to support that the brain responds more to a loss than to a potential gain. The implications for structuring incentives to influence people’s actions are apparent. Employers are beginning to recognize this behavior and adapt their policies to penalize workers for poor lifestyle choices, instead of rewarding them for making the right, or healthier, decisions. The line between whether companies are doing it for the betterment of workers or profitability is blurred. For example, Honeywell International Inc. introduced a $1,000 penalty deducted from a worker’s healthsavings account for those who opt
for certain procedures, such as knee and hip replacement and back surgery, without getting further advice. The company initially offered $500 for participation in a program that provided such advice, but saw enrollment at less than 20 percent. After switching the incentive to a penalty, enrollment shot to more than 90 percent This plan, according to Honeywell’s vice president of compensation and benefits, will save the firm $3 million annually. In another example, CVS Pharmacy recently issued a new policy that workers must submit health metrics like blood pressure, glucose, body mass index and weight by May 1, 2014, or pay a $600 fine to use the company’s health insurance program. According to CVS, penalties are now considered best practice in designing incentive structures for wellness programs. Unfortunately, according to a friend who works there, the common consensus among her colleagues is that behavior won’t change but spending will because of the additional costs the company isn’t picking up and the penalties for not meeting the four health qualifications. Let’s call it what it is. Companies don’t care about you. They care about costs. But will this help curb the population’s unhealthy habits? Around 20 percent of a company’s workforce accounts for 80 percent of health care costs, and around 70 percent of health care costs are tied to chronic conditions resulting from lifestyle choices like overeating and sedentary behavior. Even though companies cannot discriminate against obese workers, many of the health metrics measured, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, lead to those conditions that significantly impact health care costs. A Milken Institute study found productivity loss from seven of the most chronic conditions have been
tied to controllable risk factors that could be addressed by prevention programs. The total economic loss is $1.3 trillion annually, with $277 billion spent on treatment. So, the evidence supporting cost reduction is ample. The current means are insufficient to recoup this lost productivity. Taking a move from the government’s playbook, companies are utilizing a penalty, instead of a tax, to influence behavior of their workers. With the Affordable Care Act, the Supreme Court found that the government has a legal basis to tax an individual for certain behaviors, like not purchasing health insurance, but it cannot impose a penalty for such behaviors. However, the law is different for employers; if the penalty or reward doesn’t exceed 20 percent of the cost of an employee’s health coverage, then companies are free to do what they want. The question of legal discrimination arises when certain health metrics are linked to underlying conditions. But are those underlying conditions a result of poor lifestyle choices? Who determines which came first? The law doesn’t have an answer for this question. Employers have discovered a way to demand workers to meet certain requirements. At the same time, we are entering uncharted waters of legality. These actions are unprecedented. It begs the question of what other penalties employers can introduce to reduce costs. The proliferation of these health care-related penalties are facing increasing scrutiny for their coercive nature. Perhaps this ethical dilemma could finally break the proverbial glass ceiling on the country’s obesity problem and encourage people to make smarter, healthier lifestyle choices. The snow has begun to fall, pretty soon it will be an avalanche.

ou wouldn’t think that the threat of a nuclear attack would be a funny matter. However, over the past few weeks the Bond villain-like behavior of North Korean dictator Kim Jongun has incited a complex mix of confusion, fear and laughter in the United States. Between his diplomatic meeting with Dennis Rodman, his bold threat of turning the Pacific into a “Sea of Fire” and his inexplicable desire to nuke Austin, Texas, he has gained the full attention of U.S. diplomatic leaders while providing golden material for U.S. comedians. While all of these theatrics make for an interesting news cycle, it’s important to keep our relationship with North Korea in context. Our government should take standard defense precautions but without overstating the threat that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) poses. The fact is that North Korea is like a toddler seeking attention. Every so often it creates a fuss in hope that its respective grown-up, the U.S., will notice it and give it what it wants. However, instead of kicking and screaming, North Korea uses military demonstrations and nuclear threats as a way to extort foreign aid (granted, though, its military demonstrations do involve a lot of kicking and screaming). Historically, these tactics have worked. Since 1995, the U.S. has given North Korea over $1 billion in food and energy assistance, hoping that these contributions would tame the DPRK’s desire for nuclear proliferation. However, like a child that has been spoiled by its parents, North Korea is never satisfied. Now facing crippling U.N. sanctions, it’s no surprise that the country overwhelmed with poverty and starvation is screaming louder than ever. It’s important to remember that while the little man Kim talks big, it’s mostly for his personal domestic benefit. His power is his most valuable possession, and he fears that looking weak might encourage an internal rebellion against his regime. Publicizing his “rivalry” with the U.S. allows him to boost his image as a strong force for good. The DPRK’s government-run media allows him to shield his people from the true outlandishness of this message. So far, the Obama administration has taken well-measured steps by resisting the urge to acknowledge North Korea as a legitimate nuclear power, while cautiously stationing missile defense systems in Guam on the off chance a launch actually does occur. Most importantly, the administration has refused to be bluffed into giving the DPRK anymore financial aid. This firm, but careful approach is what needs to continue, if we ever hope to silence North Korea in the future. U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice stated last Friday in an interview with MSNBC, “Our interest is in reminding (Kim Jong-un) and those around him of the benefits of an alternative peaceful course, without getting too jumpy when he wakes up in the morning and issues another provocative statement.” The reality is that North Korea’s bark is substantially more severe than its potential bite. There’s nearly unanimous consensus among experts that North Korea is currently incapable of executing a long range nuclear missile strike on the U.S. In addition, the fact remains that any attempt to launch by North Korea would essentially be suicide, as the U.S. maintains the ability to wipe the country off the map in just a matter of hours. If North Korea possesses even one ounce of sanity, we can be certain that they aren’t actually going to do anything. While the DPRK’s eccentric nature gives way to entertaining news stories and hilarious Jon Stewart segments, we should not let all the hullabaloo distract us from the complex reality of America’s international climate. This climate involves a number of concerns, many of which are likely more severe than the threat of a pudgy, basketball loving dictator. For instance, the nuclear threats of Iran and Syria are very real and have the potential to ignite a very serious conflict due to their role in the Middle East. The regional conflicts between India and Pakistan are also significant, as both countries possess small nuclear arsenals. Then there’s that pesky war in Afghanistan that we always seem to forget about. As a responsible adult, the U.S. needs to continue showing that it will no longer give in to the DPRK’s antics. While it is necessary for our government to take every national security threat seriously, we can’t let the surreal nature of Kim Jong-un distract us from reality.

Campus Cooks provides unique dining experience Greek food service values importance of chapter mealtimes while offering different, healthy options BY KELLY CHUIPEK STAFF WRITER
Food is something that can bring people together, whether it is during holidays, birthdays or family gatherings. One of the events that can bring an entire sorority or fraternity chapter together is mealtime. Whether it is Monday night dinner before formal chapter or a Friday afternoon lunch, meals provide a unique bonding experience for members of the Greek community. For Bill Reeder, president and founder of Campus Cooks — one of the Greek dining food service companies on campus — the unique experience associated with dining in a sorority or fraternity house goes back to his own college days, when he was a brother of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at Northwestern University. “When I was at school, I remember (that mealtime was) where you discuss what happened the prior weekend and what’s going on this weekend,” he said. “It’s a safe haven where you don’t have to be worried about the next class.” As a fraternity alumnus, Reeder stresses the importance of his employees fully understanding what it means to be a part of Greek life. “We want our chefs and staff to know what it means to be in a house, and have an idea of what Greek life is,” he said. “We train them on philanthropies and what rush is about.” The training of Campus Cooks chefs involves understanding the house director’s role, the chapter president’s role and what role the chef plays within the structure of the house. He said he wants his chefs to become a partner of the house and tied to the overall experience. Eric Thompson , director of business development for Campus Cooks, began his career as a chef in a sorority kitchen at the University. From that experience, Thompson said he was able to learn more about the relationship between the chef and the chapter. “It’s a professional relationship, but yet they work for the chapter and are guests in their house,” he said. “We want to make sure that we do all that we can to make the members happy.” Dining within a house provides a much different experience than a campus dining hall, according to Reeder. “In a dining hall, you miss that closeness,” Reeder said. “(In a fraternity or sorority house,) you’re not eating in a dining hall with your floor — you’re eating with a junior and a senior, you eat with your pledge dad, your sister, whatever. It’s not specific to a floor or one small group of people.” Clare Boucher, senior in Media, has experienced the difference between mealtime in a Greek house and the dining halls, relating the former to eating at home with her family. “The menu doesn’t have as many choices, but it’s like eating at your parent’s house,” she said. “You get to know the cooks and the staff workers. They are really good about doing requests.” Boucher said her sorority, Chi Omega , loves

their chef’s pizza day, and appreciates how their chef will make birthdays special for chapter members and take meal requests. Another aspect that creates the differentiation from campus dining is the idea of personalization, Reeder said. While eating in a dining hall, students do not have much control over the menu. In many sororities and fraternities, however, the chef has weekly menu planning meeting with certain leadership within the house. The chefs then have the chance to talk about catering to upcoming philanthropies, football games or even how the house wants to celebrate birthdays. “We have also had instances with the house directors themselves; they send out emails to the parents and ask for their favorite recipes,” Reeder said. “Then the chef can say, ‘This is Claire’s favorite, chicken parmesan, and her mom said ‘Miss you from home’ and we can make her mom’s favorite recipe.’” Reeder said he believes that through a client’s dining experience, his company can provide a better living experience for the members of the chapter. To achieve this, Reeder reminds his chefs to help the students balance their lives by providing a time of the day when they don’t have to worry about pressures from school. Like Reeder, Thompson said he recognizes that meals are an excuse for chapter members to take a break from their day and to eat with their friends. “That time really requires the chapter to get together twice a day for a social aspect,” he said. “Without that, you could go an entire week without seeing somebody. I think it’s a very important piece of the overall Greek experience.” “You’re going to go (to) class, you’re going to work out, you’re going to study for your exams, you’re going to go out and drink your beers and do it all again,” Reeder said. “The whole thing is making sure that we have options and that it is healthy.” Boucher has also found that the kitchen is where members of her sorority can come together and catch up. “If you’re going out on Thursday or after Barndance, everyone meets up in the kitchen to talk about what they did last night,” she said. “It feels like you’re in a home.” While trying to achieve a healthy balance for students, Reeder said he also knows that food must be recognizable. For example, he said he believes one lunch staple is the quesadilla. Reeder doesn’t just want it to be layered cheese between two tortillas, but instead make it new and interesting for Greek members. “We might do it with spinach, with whole wheat or use buffalo chicken. We need to make it different,” he said. “We want to make that food better and that experience better, you’re going to have a lot more fond memories of your Greek life. A lot of that comes from the table.”

UIUC Baja SAE team builds new car for competition BY JOLIE HUANG
A
STAFF WRITER
ll automotive engineers have one dream — to create their own sleek vehicle to race. For University students, one RSO makes it possible to do just that. The Society of Automotive Engineers has an organization on campus called UIUC Baja SAE . This organization allows teams of students to design and build a vehicle, then enter it in competitions. Baja SAE is actually an international collegiate organization that hosts competitions both at college campuses in the U.S. as well as internationally in South Africa, Brazil and Korea. Currently, the organization sponsors only three Baja competitions, held throughout the country each year. There are also less structured events that allow teams to exhibit their work. So far, UIUC’s team has attended Winter Baja at Northern Michigan University to display their vehicle. They plan to attend future com-
petitions in Tennessee and Washington State this year. The purpose of these competitions is for teams to design, build, test, race and promote their vehicle. Competitors are then judged on the vehicle’s cost, design and performance. The most important rule is that each team must use a 10-horsepower engine by Briggs & Stratton . By setting this standard, the vehicles are then fairly judged by their design and drive line. “Our vehicle must pass technical inspections and challenging dynamic events such as driving 100 yards through two feet of mud, climbing steep grades, maneuvering around tight corners, passing through a course filled with boulders, logs and debris, [and] then complete a four-hour endurance race,” said Katie Birkel , captain and senior in Engineering. Every year a new vehicle must be made. The team usually spends first semester designing and second semester building and testing before competing. This year’s car will be named “New Orange Car”

or “Lily.” “It is a complete overhaul compared to previous years’ cars,” said Paul Hummon , co-captain and senior in Engineering. “We took a look at what other successful teams have done and are modeling our car off of that. We spent a lot of time in Computer Aided Design in order to have a full plan layout of the car before we started building.” Because of the expensive materials required for these vehicles, Baja SAE works with approximately 18 sponsors ranging from Caterpillar to Lockheed Martin in order to receive proper funding as well as recruiting opportunities. “We couldn’t do what we do without our sponsors. Building a car from scratch is really expensive; we typically calculate a cost of $14k in our report,” Birkle said. In return for this financial help, the team helps in promoting the companies through their vehicle designs. “Our sponsors also provide us with parts or services at sub-
stantially reduced prices, and in return they get a logo on the car,” said Chris Herrera , captain and senior in Engineering. “At the end of the season we send out framed certificates to all who have helped us.” With the help of these companies, the University’s chapter of Baja SAE has been able to thrive for a decade and has seen much success. “Historically, our team has done well. We were in the top 15 out of 100 cars in both 2009 and 2010,” Hummon said. “The past two years, however, have been a disappointment. This year has had much stronger leadership though and we are shooting to be in the top 20 again.” With the amount of dedication and hard work the team has contributed to creating the best car, its members hope to be able give back to the organization that has shaped their college experience.

Roberts endures long recovery to return to baseball
Redbirds fly high in title game
by jamal collier staff writer
“I ain’t as good as I once was,” the 2005 song released by country singer Toby Keith, plays over the loud speakers at Illinois Field as Bryan Roberts comes jogging out of the bullpen. The fifth-year senior and oldest member on the Illinois baseball team chose that as his walk-up song. “I’ve got a few years on me now, so I’m kind of the old grandpa on the team,” Roberts said. “So I’m sure I can make a few kids laugh with it. Plus I’m a big country fan, and a little Toby Keith never hurt anyone.” For the first time since 2010, Roberts is getting a chance to be a regular contributor for the Illini. In his six appearances, all out of the bullpen, Roberts is 3-0 with two saves, and has yet to allow a run in his 10 innings pitched. He’s got command of his sweeping curveball, the reason for most of his 12 strikeouts on the season, and has only allowed one walk. He notched his second save of the season against Indiana on Sunday with 1 and 2/3 scoreless innings. It’s been a long journey back to the mound for Roberts, starting with Tommy John surgery in the summer of 2010
that forced him to redshirt the 2011 season. He would try to return in 2012, scattering three appearances over the course of the season, but arm soreness would keep him from remaining a part of Illinois bullpen. Roberts hadn’t been traveling with the Illini on road games until March 16 when he debuted against Southern Illinois with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth inning of a tie game. “For me, that was my most exciting moment I’ve personally ever had on the mound,” Roberts said last Wednesday. “A lot of emotions are coming back, because there’s so many times that I doubted I ever would get a chance to be out there again, especially in a situation like that.” Roberts said he didn’t feel nervous on the mound that first day, as he came through with a five-pitch strikeout to force the game into extra innings, where Illinois would win in the 10th. That gave him his first victory since May 2010. And one of the biggest moments for him was the next day when he didn’t feel any soreness in his arm. Roberts changed his rehab approach

Deron Williams on rampage for Nets during second half of season michael wonsover Sports columnist
By Michael Wonsover Sports columnist
D
eron Williams used to be the best point guard in the league. Well, maybe not the best, but at least he was in the conversation a couple years ago. Nowadays, the argument would last as long as Chris Paul’s stint with the Lakers. Playing in Utah with Carlos Boozer and Jerry Sloan’s flex offense brought the best out of Williams. In his five and a half seasons with the Jazz, Williams had three seasons averaging at least 18 points and 10 assists per game. In comparison, no other NBA player has put out that stat line in a season since Williams in 2010-11. Before Steve Nash’s back-to-back years averaging at least 18 and 10 from 2005-07 and Paul’s three consecutive years from 2007-10, you’d have to go all the way back to Tim Hardaway’s 1992-93 season to find another player to average at least 18 points and 10 assists per game in a season. Just as Williams was arguably having his best season in Utah the following year, averaging a career-high 21.3 points per game, the Jazz shocked the NBA world by trading him before the deadline to the Nets. Williams immediately saw a decline in his play. His points per game dropped to just 15.0 in his 12 games with the Nets. His 45.8 field goal percentage with Utah also fell off, as he shot just 34.9 with New Jersey. His first full season with the Nets was also a disaster. With fewer scorers around him, Williams was asked to score a lot more. He did, but with much less efficiency. Williams sported a sky-high usage rate (the amount of possessions a player uses per 40 minutes) of 29.8, ranking fourth in the league. The only players that used more of their teams’ possessions were Derrick Rose and infamous shotchuckers Russell Westbrook and Kobe Bryant. Williams averaged 21 points per game, but he shot just 40.7 percent from the field and 33.6 percent
from behind the arc. In his best full season with Utah, Williams shot 50.7 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from downtown. He also had his lowest assist ratio since his rookie season while turning it over at a career-high rate. New Jersey finished 22-44 in the locked out season. In the first half of this year, the inaugural season of the Brooklyn Nets, Williams was experiencing much of the same. In the 50 games before the All-Star break, Williams averaged just 16.7 points and 7.6 assists per game. Although the Nets were among the most improved teams in the league, much of the credit was given to Brook Lopez, who was selected for his first All-Star game. Williams, on the other hand, didn’t make the All-Star game for the first time since the 2008-09 season. Brooklyn was starting to regret dealing out $98 million to Williams prior to this season. Those doubts wouldn’t last long. In the second half of the season, Williams has been a man possessed. Williams is averaging a whopping 23 points per game since the All-Star break, ranking eighth in the league in that time. His 3-pointers have played a large role in his scoring uptick, as he’s averaged 2.9 per game, the third most in the NBA, while connecting at a 42.9 percent clip. In comparison, Paul, Westbrook and Tony Parker have combined to make 2.1 threes per game since the All-Star game. If there was a moment where Williams turned his game around, look no further than March 8 when the Nets played the Washington Wizards in Brooklyn. It didn’t take long to realize Williams was about to do something special in that game, I mean he had drained six 3-pointers less than five minutes in. Williams had nine 3-pointers and 33 points by halftime, equaling the Wizards point total as a team. The nine first-half 3-pointers were
an NBA record, and he also became the first player since 2003 to equal or score more than the opposing team in the first half. It was one of those games where you looked at the box score and had to refresh the page a couple times to make sure ESPN wasn’t malfunctioning. He finished with 42 points and 11 3-pointers, one shy of the NBA record. He didn’t stop there. In the 14 games since his coming-out party against Washington, Williams has scored 30 or more points in four games, including his last two. In the 58 games prior to his 3-point barrage? Only Twice. OK, so his scoring is back. His passing? Not so much. No, Williams is not averaging 10 assists per game anymore, he’s currently at 7.7. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, either. When you look deeper into his numbers, Williams’ turnover ratio (turnovers per 100 possessions) of 10.5 is a career best. His tendency to shoot more 3-pointers these days has led to less dribbling, leading to fewer turnovers and more points for the once pass-first point guard. With a lineup that often includes the offense-inept Reggie Evans, the Nets need Williams’ scoring contributions. There are several reasons for Williams’ sudden resurgence. Lopez certainly deserves to be recognized for his breakout season. His player efficiency rating (PER) of 24.57 is that of a superstar, good for fifth best in the league. PER measures a player’s per-minute productivity, and the league average is 15. Lopez is the first All-Star post presence Williams has had since Boozer, when the duo was reminding Utah fans of the Stockton-Malone days. Although Lopez has made Williams’ transition to the Nets easier, the biggest reason for the former Illini’s
Although Lopez has made Williams’ transition to the Nets easier, the biggest reason for the former Illini’s strong second half has been his hunger to win.

Hendrickson starting at right field again as Illini host Panthers By Jamal Collier Staff writer
As Illinois was stretching in the outfield before Saturday’s game against Indiana, one of the Hoosiers, amid a round of batting practice, crushed a line drive that smacked Davis Hendrickson directly in the face. “I couldn’t tell you a lot more after that,” Hendrickson said as he stood outside of practice at Illinois Field on Monday with a cut above his blackened left eye. It left a bump on his face the size of a golf ball, a size that lessened after he iced it down all night Saturday. Fortunately for Hendrickson, he didn’t sustain any serious injury and can laugh about it. The accident didn’t derail him as he started on Sunday and threw a runner out at third in the second inning. When the Illini (19-9, 2-4 Big Ten) host Eastern Illinois (10-18, 3-8 Ohio Valley) on Tuesday, Hendrickson is likely to assume the role of starting right fielder once again. Will Krug, who was the Illini starter, was hit on the arm by a pitch during Friday’s 3-2 loss to Indiana. He is out indefinitely, ruining a breakout season with him hitting .305 with eight stolen bases, which is the third best on the team. The role isn’t new for Hendrickson.
The senior was starting right fielder on opening day and has started 10 games this season, 119 games total in his career at Illinois. He will likely hit ninth, as he has for most of his career. He thinks of it as a second leadoff spot, where he can use his speed to benefit the team. He stole 11 bases last season. Hendrickson’s arm strength may even be the best among the team’s outfielders, so Illinois loses nothing with him in that position. “That’s one of my favorite parts of baseball,” Hendrickson said of throwing out runners from the outfield. “I take a lot of pride in making sure they don’t get there.” Center fielder Justin Parr said he’s even seen some teams hesitant to run on the Illini, whose outfielders have combined for 14 outfield assists on the year, and he expects that number to increase with Hendrickson’s arm strength. Hendrickson has struggled at the plate in recent years. Coming into Tuesday, he is hitting .209 during his 19 appearances this season. He has shown signs of breaking out during his career. During his sophomore season in 2011, he was a starting outfielder for

On a volleyball court, Jennifer Beltran is easy to spot. The obvious giveaway is the off-color jersey sported by the soon-to-be senior libero or her 5-foot-9 stature among the trees on the front line, but beyond that, Beltran has emerged as the unquestioned leader of the Illinois volleyball team. One of just four players in 2012 to play every set of the season, Beltran did a little bit of everything for Illinois on the court. She led the team in digs, service attempts and was even third on the squad in assists. Going into 2013, Beltran’s final year in orange and blue, she has expanded her role off the court as a leader. “(Leading) is something I’ve tried to do in the past, but I honestly didn’t know how to,” Beltran said. “I was always told it was a role I was going to have to step in to. I knew that, but I just

didn’t know how to do it.” Not having past seniors in spring practices and games has allowed Beltran the opportunity to take control of the team and set the example for teammates. Along with defensive specialists Courtney Abrahamovich and Julia Conard, Beltran is one of just three full-time backcourt players on the roster and anchors a back line that lost experience with the graduation of defensive specialist Jackie Wolfe. “She’s the police of the skill, police of the technique, police of the effort,” head coach Kevin Hambly said. “We need some people to help out on that. But she communicates at a very high level right now, which is what a lot of great leaders do.” Spring practice is the first phase of the new year, and Beltran said she already realizes the 2013 campaign is the end of her career and that another season like 2012 would be an unsavory end to her time at Illinois.
“There’s a lot of things I want to do differently and redeem myself,” Beltran said. “I want to be happy with the way it ends.” That urgency was on display last Saturday at Huff Hall, when the Illini hosted a trio of teams for exhibition matches. Twice in the matches, when difficult digs glanced of Beltran’s arms for a point, the libero slapped the floor in frustration before rejoining the team in the huddle. While Beltran, who has 386 sets played at the collegiate level, knows what to expect from the college game, sophomore and setter Alexis Viliunas is still getting acclimated. Viliunas played in seven games as a true freshman last year to replace now-graduated Annie Luhrsen and was inconsistent. She earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors in October, but Hambly said she was “exposed” at times on the court. “Playing (last year) helped a lot with my nerves,” Viliunas
said. “It was a good experience for me.” After a short stint back on the bench to end the season, Viliunas now has full control over the team and is currently the only setter on the roster. While spring games might help experienced players like Beltran shore up weaker parts of their games, Viliunas is using the time to get used to being a full-time player. “Coming into spring I was like a lost puppy,” the sophomore said. “I was all over the place. Now, I know more about the game and more about what I need to be doing.” Viliunas showed improvements from last year on Saturday, working on both setting and the defensive end. The sophomore even accrued a handful of kills of her own by instead of setting, leaping and dumping the ball with her left hand across the net before the opposing defense was set. At 6-foot1, Viliunas is able to get in on
the block with the front line and establish herself as more of an offensive threat. “I thought (Viliunas) played good defense, played good volleyball,” Hambly said. “At times she doesn’t locate exactly where we want, but I don’t expect her to at this point. She’s getting a whole lot better.” With Beltran in her last season and Viliunas getting her first taste of collegiate volleyball, the two are at very different points in their careers. But if Illinois wants to get anywhere near their mark set in 2011, it will need both players to step their play up to another level, which is something Hambly is confident they will be able to do. “Between the two of them, if they’re taking our first and second contacts, we’ve got a good chance to score,” he said.

With 4th-place finish, relay team not satisfied By Dan Escalona Staff writer
The Illinois men’s track and field 400-meter relay squad of sophomores DJ Zahn and Brandon Stryganek and juniors Julian Smith and Vanier Joseph is still looking for progress after a lackluster fourth-place finish and a time of 40.72 seconds at the Tiger Track Classic in Auburn, Ala., last weekend. “We’re not satisfied at all with our performance in the 4x1,” head coach Mike Turk said. “There a couple things in particular that we were looking to see major improvement during the meet, and we came up short still needing to improve heavily in a few areas.” The major aspect the team and coaching staff are looking to grow is the quality of the exchanges from one leg to another. Turk said the lack of clean exchanges during the relay events has cost the squad valuable seconds that affects its final time and placing in the most recent meet. He also said the lower finish can be attributed in large part to the tougher competition the relay faced, such as Clemson and Auburn. Turk addressed speculation that he is considering lineup changes to the relay squad in the next couple meets, though he did not specify when or if the changes would occur. “We thought we were ready to break out in the 4x1 going into this meet,” Zahn said. “We did some decent things in the 4x1, but we just need to be more consistent in it every week and bring the level of intensity in each relay leg every time we race.”
Sprinters get back to main events Three Illinois sprinters were back on the track in their main events over the weekend. Stryganek and Smith got back to their main events in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, while junior Stephon Pamilton made his outdoor debut in the 400 meters. Pamilton finished second in the 400 with a time of 46.34 seconds. “Stephon still has few races to go until he will be back to where he was at the end of the indoor season, but it was a good sign to see him run that strong in his first 400 of outdoors,” Turk said. Stryganek finished sixth in the 100 with a time of 10.55 and third in the 200 with a time of 20.84, while Smith finished 14th in the 100 with a time of 10.79 and eighth in the 200 with a time of 21.21. Turk said both sprinters need more race experience prior to the conference meet to get into the midseason form he expects of them.
Pole vaulters lead field events at Auburn meet The pole vault led the Illini in the field events over the weekend as juniors Matt Bane and Cody Klein tied for second. Both athletes recorded season-high vaults of 5.20 meters. “Cody and Matt had very strong showings once again for us,” Turk said. “It’s simply a matter of the two of them continually progressing over the next few meets and in practice. They’ve meant a ton to us in the indoor season, so we anticipate similar results once they get to their midseason forms.”

Chicago Cubs’ Welington Castillo hits a two-run home run during the second inning of a baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers in Chicago on Monday.
Cubs drop home opener against Brewers By JAY COHEN the associated press
CHICAGO — Marco Estrada walked out to warm up and saw the wind blowing straight out at Wrigley Field, a rare sight for an April date at the iconic neighborhood ballpark. It was an unfortunate development for the right-hander, but he made it work in a big way for the Milwaukee Brewers. Estrada pitched seven effective innings and doubled home a run Monday, helping the Brewers stop a five-game slide with a 7-4 victory over Chicago in the first game of the season at the Cubs’ longtime home. “I just kept telling myself just leave the pitches down, especially the changeup,” he said. “As long as I don’t leave balls up, I should be OK. Especially because, you know, I’m a bit of
a pop-fly pitcher and I knew in this park with that wind it could be trouble.” Estrada allowed two runs and five hits while bouncing back from a lackluster season debut against Colorado. The right-hander also drove in Alex Gonzalez with a drive into the gap in rightcenter during Milwaukee’s tworun seventh. Norichika Aoki collected three more hits and Ryan Braun had a successful return to the lineup as the Brewers won for the first time since opening day. Aoki had a career-high four hits in Milwaukee’s 8-7 loss to Arizona on Sunday and is batting .588 (10 for 17) in his last four games. “It’s just nice to win,” Braun said. “We needed to win.” Welington Castillo belted a two-run homer for Chicago, which has dropped four in a row
and five of six. Edwin Jackson was hit hard in his first home game since he signed a $52 million, four-year contract over the winter, surrendering five runs and eight hits in six innings. The Cubs rallied for two runs in the ninth and had the bases loaded when Dave Sappelt struck out. Starlin Castro then hit a fly ball deep to right, but the shifting wind held it up and Aoki brought it in on the warning track. “Yeah, I had a bad feeling when we got things going there,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. “We had nobody out and with those guys coming up, that wind shift was going to obviously have a factor in the game both ways, and it did.” Jim Henderson picked up his first save of the season in his first opportunity since he replaced John Axford in the closer’s role.
Rice incident leads Rutgers to increase review of its coaches By KATIE ZEZIMA The Associated Press
TRENTON, N.J. — Rutgers officials are scrutinizing practice videos of all sports to see if any coach engaged in behavior like the type that cost men’s basketball coach Mike Rice his job, the university president announced Monday. The inquiry into Rice and how university officials responded is also going deeper as the school announced that it plans to hire a consultant to conduct an independent review. University President Robert Barchi, speaking Monday during a town hall meeting on the school’s Newark campus, said he wants any instances of bullying or homophobic language to be reported immediately. He also reiterated that he wished he had viewed the video where Rice — whom Gov. Chris Christie on Monday called an “animal” — shoved players and called them gay slurs when it first surfaced in November, saying he would have fired Rice then. Rice was fired last week only after the video became public. Athletic Director Tim Pernetti, an assistant basketball coach and the university’s top lawyer, also resigned last week, while some Rutgers faculty members and others called for Barchi to step down, too. On Monday, Christie defended Barchi’s performance while blasting Rice’s behavior. He also criticized the reaction of those who knew about it and did not fire the coach months ago, when the video was given to university officials and viewed by — at least — Pernetti, university interim counsel John Wolf and Chairman Mark Hershhorn of the university Board of Governors’ athletics committee. “They were wrong not to come to the conclusion that Coach Rice needed to be fired immediately,” Christie said at a news conference. In a statement released by his lawyer late Monday, Hershhorn said he did call for Rice’s firing on the day in early December that he watched the video. He said he told Pernetti that if the video was authenticated, Rice needed to be immediately terminated. Contrary to his recommendation, Hershhorn said, the university chose to discipline Rice instead of letting him go. The Rutgers administration would not comment on Hershhorn’s account of events. While the governor had issued statements previously, it was the first time Christie took questions about the scandal at the state’s flagship public university. The Republican governor added that had he been aware of the issues earlier he would have used his “power of persuasion” to try to get Rice fired then. He said he viewed the video not only as a governor but as the father of a college athlete. His son Andrew plays baseball at Princeton. “You’re talking about kids being miserably treated by the guy who determined whether they keep their scholarship or not,” Christie said. He said the video cost the coach his credibility with young athletes and their families. “What parent would let this animal back into their living room to try to recruit their son after this video?” he said. Christie said it was a mistake for Barchi, who took office in September, not to watch the video last year when he first was told about it. But he said that leaders of large organizations must delegate some matters and that the mistake was not a firing offense. It was Pernetti’s job to know what the coach was doing, Christie said. According to a settlement the university provided to The Associated Press on Monday, Pernetti is receiving $1.25 million as he departs, along with perks ranging from health insurance for more than two years to a $12,000 annual car allowance until next year and his university-issued iPad. Rutgers announced Monday that it was commissioning an independent review of Rice’s conduct and the way the university responded to it. The board of governors will meet Thursday to discuss the review. Also, board chairman Ralph Izzo said that while one board member — Hershhorn — had seen the video in December, it was not shown to other members. The topic of the coach’s conduct was discussed at a committee meeting in December, but it was not discussed at the full board meeting that month. The scandal has prompted the FBI to investigate whether a former Rutgers basketball employee asked for money from Rutgers in exchange for not making the videos public, a person familiar with the investigation told AP on Sunday.

Kynard only senior on defensive line next year BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER
Tim Kynard is the last man standing. Of the five defensive linemen who started any games last season, Kynard is all that remains. The 6 -foot-3, 260 -pound Kynard opened last season with the fi rst unit while Justin Staples served a one-game suspension. Kynard eventually ceded the job back to Staples for six of the fi nal nine games. But now, Staples is gone, and so are starters Michael Buchanan , Glenn Foster and Akeem Spence , all of whom either used their fi nal year of eligibility last season or, in Spence’s case, declared for the NFL Draft early. Kynard is the lone senior on a defensive line littered with inexperience. “It’s gonna be different this year,” Kynard said, admitting he’s not a natural vocal leader. “I’m more of a show by my work ethic and how I play. ... I’ve got to be able to rise up to the occasion and do it.” Although he’s only notched six career starts, Kynard cut into Staples’ playing time all last year, appearing in 11 games and totaling 18 tackles, three for a loss, one sack and two fumble recoveries. He also played in
11 games in a reserve role as a sophomore and appeared in all 12 as a redshirt freshman. “Tim’s got a lot of moxie, a good feel for the game,” said defensive line coach Greg Colby, a new addition to head coach Tim Beckman’s staff this season. “When Tim goes 90 miles an hour, he’s pretty good. When Tim doesn’t go 90 miles an hour, he’s average, so he needs to play that way all the time. If he does, he’ll be a really solid guy for us.” Colby, like his defensive linemen, is another fresh face for Beckman’s Illini, but the former Millersville head coach is no stranger to Illinois. Colby was a three-year starter in both football and baseball before becoming a graduate assistant football coach from 1974-75 and 197778 . He returned to Illinois as an outside linebackers and special teams coach from 1988-95. Colby identified Kynard and juniors Jake Howe and Austin Teitsma as his top three guys on a very thin defensive line unit. “The good news is they’re getting a lot of reps, but the bad news is things are showing up when they get tired,” he said. “But that’s good for them, to be able to fight through that. All in all, I like where we’re at, but we’ve still got a long way to go.” Beckman said the Illini this
season will employ a 3-4 defensive front — a system he says better fits the current roster — more often. Although junior linebacker Houston Bates is currently sidelined with a concussion suffered last week, and sophomore defensive lineman Darrius Caldwell is sitting out the spring to focus on academics, the shift to more 3-4 should have them looking more like linebackers than linemen in the hybrid outside linebacker/defensive end Leo position. “I’m proud of the way they’re playing,” Beckman said. “They’re playing hard, it’s just we’re only two-deep at each position. We’ve only got eight defensive linemen and we’ve got to get ready.” Friday’s spring game will offer a chance for the Illini to gauge how far this untested unit has come since the 2012 season wrapped on Nov. 24. “It’s important to see where guys are at and how they progressed throughout the spring,” Kynard said. “We’re trying to figure out who can play and who can’t. It’s pretty big for us.” If all goes well for the Illini, Kynard won’t be alone at the top of the depth chart for long.

Illinois softball looks to end 5-game skid against Eastern BY NICHOLAS FORTIN STAFF WRITER
The Illinois softball team will look to get its offense going again this week. The team will have a tough task as it looks to get its bats hot at home Tuesday against Eastern Illinois. “Eastern is having a terrific season,” Head Coach Terri Sullivan said. “They’ve been battling in their conference and as usual we’re going to expect them to be at their best.” Illinois will face another extremely potent offense Tuesday with the Panthers, a team that has won its last five and put up seven or more runs in three of its last five games. Eastern Illinois also boasts a pair of starting pitchers with ERA’s under 1.50. The stats aren’t fazing the Illini, who are focusing more on themselves rather than their opponents this week. “Well we have faced a lot of
PREVIEW FROM PAGE 1B the team that went to the NCAA tournament. He hit a team-high .417, adding two doubles, a triple and three RBIs at the NCAA Fullerton Regional that earned him a spot on the All-Regional Team. This came after hitting .311 with two home-runs and an on base percentage of .363 for the season. “Honestly, I don’t think
clicking offenses,” Sullivan said. “The three teams we’ve played in the Big Ten are really strong offensively, and Eastern Illinois is scoring runs, but our focus is to do what we need to do. We need to get ourselves playing at our best no matter who the opponent is.” The Illini are on a streak of their own, but not one they like. Illinois has dropped its last five games, and mustered just one run in three games against Northwestern this past weekend. Sullivan said the losses have hurt the team’s confidence at the plate. “We’ve had a five-game losing streak and that leads to not trusting ourselves and being more passive at the plate when really we have to get more aggressive,” Sullivan said. “We have to focus on ourselves, being aggressive at the plate, pitching aggressive and really throwing to our spots.”
According to Sullivan, to fi x the offense, the team has been looking at a lot of game tape, seeing what pitches they need to “get the barrel of the bat on.” “We’re going to go back and watch game fi lm to see where we can be a better team,” Sullivan said. “We’ve been focusing on plate appearances and what good pitches we’re letting go by as opposed to the ones we’re swinging at.” Illinois has only one day to prepare for its midweek game instead of the usual two, but the shortened schedule may help the team. “Our players love to play,” Sullivan said. “They want to play any time, anywhere, any place, to get back on track and have another opportunity to do what we can do.”
there’s much difference,” he said of that 2011 campaign and now. “Baseball is just a game of inches, so I feel like some of those were dropping in that year.” Hendrickson started 49 games in right field last season, but his average dropped down to .263 and his on-base percentage to .348. He lost his starting role this season after getting off to a slow start as Krug emerged. “We’ve got him in the line-
up (this season), I’m sure not as much as he would like, but that’s OK,” head coach Dan Hartleb said . “I don’t want guys who want to sit on the bench and are content sitting there. We’ve been trying to keep him in the lineup because you never know what’s going to happen. And now, we have a situation where he needs to come in and perform for us.”

KATHY KMONICEK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brooklyn Nets' Deron Williams, second from right, leaps around Chicago Bulls' Vladimir Radmanovic (77) to shoot for the basket in the first half of an NBA basketball game on Thursday, April 4, 2013, at Barclays Center in New York.
MICHAEL FROM PAGE 1B strong second half has been his hunger to win. With Brooklyn sitting at 44-32 and currently holding the fourth seed in the East, Williams has had something to play for every night other than stats. His contract is signed, his injuries are healed and his mind is focused. Williams will have his first chance since 2010 to show the NBA what an inspired D-Will can do in the playoffs. If you may recall, Williams averaged 24.3 points and 10.2 assists per game in that postseason, becoming the first player in NBA history to score at
BASEBALL FROM PAGE 1B this time around. Instead of trying to build strength and lifting, he focused more on recovery workouts, icing his arm and getting his arm massaged and stretched out. “It’s feeling like it did back when I was a sophomore,” he said. So Roberts came into the game the next day, again with the score tied and the bases loaded against Southern, this time in the seventh inning. Once again, Roberts escaped with a strikeout. He’d pitch the Illini into their

least 20 points and dish out at least 10 assists in the first five games of a postseason series. He was also the first player to put up those numbers in five consecutive games in one series. Even with the strong second half Williams is experiencing, he is still facing stiff competition for the title of best point guard in the league. I would still argue Paul sits atop the point guard crop in the NBA, even if Westbrook (23.4) and Williams (18.7) are superior scorers to Paul (17.0). With Paul shooting only 28.4 percent from downtown in the second half of the season, Williams has also emerged as a better deep threat than Paul. second straight 10-inning victory by fi nishing off a scoreless eighth and ninth, allowing Roberts to improve to 2-0. His third victory was a little less pressure-fi lled, but it was against Nebraska in a game the Illini won on a walk-off squeeze bunt in the ninth. His scoreless inning streak was in its greatest danger against Oakland two weekends ago. Illinois was up 3-2 in the ninth , when Roberts gave up a single into left field with the would-be tying run on second base attempting to score before he was thrown out by Will Krug to end the game. “I owe him dinner for a week,”
Despite the poor shooting, Paul is still fourth among NBA point guards in field goal percentage (48.1), second in assists per game (9.6), and first in assist-toturnover ratio (4.15) and steals per game (2.4). With Parker, Kyrie Irving and Rose combining to play only 23 games since the All-Star break, Paul and Williams have faced less competition than in past seasons. While Paul is still the NBA’s top point guard, Williams has entered the discussion for the second half of the season. If Williams’ surge continues into next year, Paul may need to watch out.
Michael can be reached at wonsovr2@dailyillini.com. Roberts said. “I didn’t think he had a shot throwing him out. I saw him running the bases, and I was already thinking about how to get the next guy out and then Krug just threw a perfect throw, and I couldn’t have been happier.” That allowed Roberts to secure his fi rst save since May of 2010 and his seventh career save — moving him to seventh in school history. The last line of that Toby Keith song: “Maybe not be good as I once was, but I’m as good once, as I ever was.”
