UI searches for Med funds $135 million remaining to raise for new College of Medicine BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
Creating the College of Medicine will cost $235 million, a task university administrators are trying to complete through fundraising and private donations. Of the $135 million left to raise, most of the funding will go toward hiring faculty, said Dan Peterson, vice chancellor for Institutional Advancement. The college will not require its own building, Peterson said, allowing $60 million of $135 million to go toward faculty members. In March, the Board of Trustees approved the Urba-
na-Champaign campus’ first new college in 60 years, with a $100 million commitment from Carle Foundation Hospital over the next 10 years. Before becoming an accredited college from the Liaison Committee for Medical Education, the college must raise the remaining funds needed. “Showing the financial viability of a new college is probably the most important factor in gaining preliminary accreditation, which allows you to admit your first class of students,” said Normand Paquin, associate director for

Students took the opportunity to advocate for the University Wednesday when they traveled to Springfield to fight Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed budget cuts. Students from all three University campuses met in Springfield with Illinois legislators for Lobby Day to discuss the proposed 31.5 percent budget cut, or $209 million, to the state’s appropriations for higher education. Lobby Day is an annual event where students meet with senators and represen-
tatives to share their concerns about the University or state, said Tim Knudsen, graduate student in the College of Law. Roaming the Capitol Building, students presented legislators with facts about the University to fight the proposed budget cuts. Knudsen said the students view the budget cuts as a scary realization. He said the less money and funding that goes into school, the more the quality of education will decrease. In order to make a bigger impact, Knudsen said he and others on the planning committee for Lobby Day
focused on getting more students involved. “My biggest concern is maintaining quality of the U of I education. The tuition can only go so high until they stop attracting students,” Knudsen said. “I’m concerned the cuts are going to come from faculties, great resources like the Career Center and things that really matter to attracting the best students in the country.” President Robert Easter said he believes the value of student’s education will continue to be upheld, regardless of the challenges and despite the students’ fears. “The biggest challenge is the uncertainty and not knowing what we are dealing with,” Easter said. “It will have very real impacts and
will make us a very different place.” Easter said he thinks the out of classroom experience makes the University unique but it is at risk too. He said he hopes the University can protect the integrity of its faculty, as the cuts could make recruitment more difficult. “If we are trying to recruit someone who is a star somewhere, there will be a perception that Illinois is a financially difficult place and will be another indirect effect to hiring them,” Easter said. Senator Chris Nybo, R-24, a supporter of the proposed budget cut, said the cuts would improve the fiscal atmosphere in Illinois as a

The crime is the same. The horror is the same. The shame doesn’t hurt any less. But still, something is different. “People don’t understand how men get raped,” said Rachel Storm, assistant director of the Women’s Resources Center.

He said men are viewed to be the stronger sex and are often considered to be the perpetrators of rape, not the survivors; consequently, they are less likely to be believed when they share their assault experiences. Bullock said male survivors of sexual assault are not given the same support and opportunities to heal that female survivors are typically given, and people also

To provide children with disabilities the opportunity to learn how to swim, four University students created Swimable, a program geared toward offering resources that were not readily available to children with special needs. Swimable offered its first swim lessons for children with disabilities Friday at the Campus Recreation Center East pool, said Chelsea Fry, president of Swimable and senior in Social Work. Fry said she and her cofounders came up with the idea during a social work class last year.
These lessons are taught by a team of certified swimming instructors and held every Friday and Saturday until early May. Swimable emerged from the idea of creating a swimming program that uses resources at the University to teach students with special needs how to swim while helping them excel in higher levels of swimming, Fry said. Fry said there aren’t many resources for children with disabilities to learn life skills or to participate in a unique environment. Efthemia Tounas, swim-

Student studies self-harm BY NORA ROCHE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
To help prevent self-harm in the future, a psychology study is being conducted on University students who have a history of depression and a tendency to induce non-suicidal self-injury. Konrad Bresin, Ph.D. student in Psychology, said he is conducting this research to study self-harming behaviors, which arise from the need to temporarily relieve negative thoughts, and how they can be prevented. However, the need to relieve negative thoughts can eventually result in long-term effects, such as attempting suicide. “For example, in nonsuicidal self injury, people report that they hurt themselves as a way to stop bad feelings or to forget bad memories so maybe in the short term it has some benefit, but in the long run it is related to suicide attempts, guilt and shame of engaging in it (and) it can cause problems with family members, emergency room visits, etc.,” Bresin said. Non-suicidal self-harm can include substance abuse, self-injury and impulsive
aggression, such as punching a wall or ruining property, said Allison Daurio, one of Bresin’s research assistants and senior in LAS. According to Bresin, the research predicts that those who use pain to reduce their negative emotions and tend to think repetitively about negative thoughts have a tendency to remember negative words and ultimately, negative events or aspects in their own lives. He said identifying how the studied behaviors isolate a person from society and personal relationships could provide strategies to help counter the thoughts and behaviors before they have a destructive effect on the individual. “There are people that need help just adjusting to normal life. If you have individuals that are showing these negative effects to other people, they are not going to be able to ... strengthen themselves,” Daurio said. Alex Rabadan, one of Bresin’s research assistants and sophomore in LAS, said she thinks studying University students prone to depression and self-harm is important because the 18- to
College students lack in financial, budgeting abilities Students struggle to pay, review bills on time BY MADISON JOHNSTON STAFF WRITER
College students are getting increasingly worse at managing their personal finances, according to new report called “Money Matters on Campus,” conducted by EverFi, a technological critical skills company. The report stated that students struggle to pay credit card bills on time, review bills, follow a budget and balance a checkbook. According to the report, 39 percent of four-year college students budget their money compared to 60 percent of two-year college students. The research for the report was sponsored by Higher One, a student financial aid company. Kara Johnston, president and CEO of United Equity Credit Union, said students’ lack of financial literacy can impede their ability to manage finances and make wiser financial decisions. This could also be credited to the decrease in use of cash and the rise of electronic banking, Johnston said. “It is okay to go into debt to pay for school as long as

SURVIVORS have a hard time believing that women rape men. When men are raped by other men, Bullock said many face an orientation crisis. He said many of them feel their masculinity has been threatened after they feel power has been taken away from them. “We equate rape with sex, so we think they would be sexually attracted to each other, but it is more an obsession with control and perpetrators wanting to overpower another person than due to their orientation,” Bullock said. He said one problem is that because people don’t believe that men are raped at all, or very often, means the resources to support men are not as available as they are for women. This is another reason men may not be
you are making an investment,” said Jeffrey Brown, professor of finance. “People just need to be careful of borrowing against their future simply to pay for consumption today.” He said costs can rise quickly through routes like credit card spending because of high interest rates. EverFi’s report surveyed over 42,000 college students nationwide about their banking, credit habits and student loans. The survey found that “in general, responsible planning behaviors decreased over time, but risky financial moves such as using payday lenders or taking out cash advances on credit cards, remain stable.” Brown said failing to budget and maintaining a good credit score can be “extremely costly.” “You will pay higher interest every time you borrow money,” he said. “There are some insurance companies that have found that credit ratings are correlated with other types of risks that they might want to insure against.” Therefore, Brown added, Bennett, D-52, see universities as a way to continue building revenue for the state. “When you make cuts, they fall on the students and the next generation that will build this state,” Bennett said. “Students can still go to skill with these cuts, but the debt they carry will decide their future.” Knudsen said he thinks some cuts must be made due to the financial crisis, but he disagrees with the size of the proposed budget cuts. If approved, the proposed cuts would go into effect on July 1, starting fiscal year 2016. “I wouldn’t have spent so many years here if I didn’t reporting assaults or seeking professional support. However, there have been strides toward change and equality for male survivors. In 2012, the FBI changed the definition of rape to include any gender of victim or perpetrator. Previously, the 1927 definition of rape only addressed women being raped by men. According to a report from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in 16 men is raped while in college and one in 71 men is raped during their lifetime. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2010 survey, 1.4 percent of the male population experience rape in their lifetime. Men who are forced to penetrate women are not considered rape victims. This is classified as “other sexual violence” which is experienced at 23.4 percent of men in their lifetime and
Short term emotional release does not remain in long term
• Mental Health America estimates two million people self-harm in some way. • The majority of people who self-harm are young adults. • Young women self harm more than young men. • The method most often used to self-harm is cutting. Others behaviors include burning, punching, and drinking something harmful, like bleach or detergent. SOURCE: Mental Health America TOREY BUTNER THE DAILY ILLINI 24-year-old age group represents the emerging leaders of the next generation. Rabadan said the effect of competition and high expectations from college students can foster negative thoughts and behaviors when those expectations are not met. By studying those with a history of depression or selfharm Bresin said the long
term goal “is to understand the processes that allow for the short term benefits in order to start thinking about what skills can we give (them) that will help them have other ways to deal with the emotion, or maybe even preventing people from ever doing it.”

The report also stated that 17 states require high school graduates to take courses on personal finance to improve their financial literacy; however, only six of those states test the students on personal finance.

It is important to create sound spending habits while in college, Johnston said. “The younger they are started, the better,” Johnston said. “Your credit score and debt ratio are really important.” Johnston said students can use mobile applications such as Mint, Concur and Goodbudget to help them with their financial transactions and budgeting. “It is just setting up a system that allows you to impose some discipline on yourself,” Brown said.

not reflected in the 1.4 percent of men who experience rape. Involuntary reactions often imply that men who are assaulted actually enjoyed the experience, which makes it difficult for male survivors to confront being assaulted. “Sexual pleasure is more associated with men,” said Emilie Iannarelli, senior in LAS. “They are thought to want sex all the time.” Storm explained that impacts of popular culture affect many aspects of male survivor culture. Popular culture depicts victims singularly as women and men as excessively sexual beings that want sex all the time whenever available, she said. The result is people begin to think a man is lying if he is forced to penetrate a woman against his will because he wouldn’t have an erection, a requirement for sex, if he wasn’t aroused.
Iannarelli said there is less information about male survivors because issues like this are difficult to talk about. Bullock said it is especially important to tell men people believe them and they are not alone. Because of the lack of knowledge surrounding male sexual assault, male survivors sometimes feel as if resources are exclusively for women. The Counseling Center, the Women’s Resources Center and McKinley Mental Health clinic’s services and support are available for people of all genders. Men can also have a rape kit done by any hospital in the area. Bullock said it is important for supporters to remember that they should empower “the individual to make these choices of what to do next for themselves.”

said. “For a college of medicine, you’re supposed to eliminate that number.” Peterson said right now, the focus is assembling a list of prospective donors, particularly those whose interests align with the engineering focus of the College of Medicine. While the original plan for the College of Medicine called for building a new medical enterprise center, the business plan does not budget for it, Paquin said. “We will refurbish what is already good space to house the College of Medicine until we have the necessary funds,” Paquin said. “The current business plan does not assume we will build a new building.” Around $50 million will be used for supporting students, including granting preliminary scholarships. Around $25 million will be used to build labs for the college, Peterson said. Peterson said the hiring process will begin with hiring the founding dean of the college. This dean will have the responsibility of helping drive the committee’s accreditation, becoming a partner in the fundraising process and ultimately driving the recruitment of the faculty. “My understanding is there’s a group that’s putting together a job description for it and thinking about a recruitment process,” Peterson said. He said the hiring process for the dean would likely begin after the academic year ends, sometime in the summer of 2015. Peterson said there seemed to be a lot of interest and excitement in the University community about the college, and he is excited for its future. “I’m optimistic we’ll reach and exceed our goals,” Peterson said. “We’re going to deliver for the campus, community and the world as the very first engineering based College of Medicine.”

This means accreditation would have to be in place by early 2016 in order to start recruiting students later in the year, Paquin said. “It’s safe to say that we would need to have within say, two years, a significant commitment of the $135 million,” Peterson said. “We may need $50 million, $75 million or maybe even $100 million committed within the next two years.” So far, the majority of the contributions to the college came from near or within Champaign-Urbana, Peterson said. “We hope to secure a good portion of support from here in the local community, but it really is going to be national and international venture,” Peterson said. “We have the Carle piece, and the chancellor announced we had a $10 million commitment from a regional donor, so we’re in the process of finalizing that.” Raising money for the establishment of a medical college is different than raising money for any other type of college, Paquin said. “The (committee) likes to see funding for a new college of medicine come from a variety of resources,” Paquin said. “It is looking to see that the entire burden of the college is not on the students themselves.” Paquin said the college will be funded in part through tuition, but also with private investments, philanthropy and external research grants. “I think it’s very possible that some colleges on the campus have the significant portion of their revenue coming from tuition,” Paquin

SWIMABLE ming instructor and junior in AHS, said she hopes to develop a relationship with her students and make them more comfortable with the water. Shannon Mix, swimming instructor and freshman in Education, said the happiness she sees in the children motivates her to teach. She said this program is beneficial for children with disabilities who have weaker muscle strength because it helps them be more comfortable in the water and around people. Fry said the University’s Campus Recreation Center is the best facility for Swimable due to the zero-depth ramp and wheelchair lift. She said Swimable is fortunate to have received the University’s support. Before starting Swimable, Fry said the students looked into gaps in the community, such as the cuts being made to respite programs for families with children who have special needs. “That’s why we’re here,” Fry said. “It was an issue we were happy to take on. I think the biggest fight that we’ve accomplished so far is we’re filling that gap now at a very well cost.”
mesulli2@dailyillini.com She said she is grateful for the program because it offers resources, such as instructors with extensive training on how to work with children with special needs, that were not available to the children and their families before. “First with our training, we did weeks of out of the pool training that covered everything from different disabilities we could encounter,” Fry said. “We had lessons in autism spectrum and different developmental displays, (and) Down syndrome.” Fry said instructors learned which types of swim lessons would be most effective with the children, as well as first aid, seizure protocols, meltdown protocols and other proactive lessons. Once children establish familiarity with certain instructors, Fry said, they try to keep them paired with the same instructor to allow familiarity, which allows for a more comfortable environment. “I think just as a collective, having that rotation, helps it become really cohesive,” Fry said. “ It really helps with the instructors owning it and the students really feeling like they’re a part of something big.”

Sexual assault education benefits all
S
exual assaults on college campuses across the United States happen more frequently than some like to admit. It’s not a phenomenon people should or can address as inevitable; assaults are a despicable hindrance to the safe and inclusive atmospheres universities and academic institutions hope to provide. Sexual assault education and prevention is important no matter the gender, but sexual assault education is mainly targeted toward women and it frequently seems to neglect men. Events like yesterday’s “Supporting Male Survivors,� held by the Women’s Resources Center, and Friday’s “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,� where male students wear red heels and walk a mile around the Quad, are finally providing the education men need. Supporting Male Survivors shines a light on the underrepresented group of male survivors of sexual assault, while Walk a Mile in Her Shoes draws men’s attention to the effects of male violence against women. In today’s society, the assumption remains that sexual assault victims are solely young adult women. However, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, 2.78 million men in the U.S. have gone through some form of sexual assault or rape as well. Further, only about 60 percent of males feel as if they would be believed if they accused someone of sexual assault, whereas 80 percent of women feel they would be believed. While information regarding male sexual assault is more limited, the problems behind sexual assaults remain across genders, races and society as a whole, and universal education is needed to stop these crimes. Main cornerstones of sexual assault education involve bystander intervention when you see suspicious situations and how to handle a potential assault or defend yourself from one. These are tools that everyone needs in order to combat sexual assault. For any gender, education about sexual assaults and support should be prevalent on a campus like the University. On college campuses in the U.S., the Bureau of Justice Statistics stated that 80 percent of rapes and sexual assaults against students went unreported based upon a variety of factors: fear of reprisal, not wanting to get the suspect in trouble, personal matters or believing that the incident was not worth reporting. These numbers could drastically decrease if education about the topic was increased for both genders. Demonstrating universal support for any type of victim is crucial in today’s society, and we applaud efforts by campus organizations like the Women’s Resources Center in trying to raise awareness about sexual assault for everyone.
A nation’s unequal representation NICKI HALENZA Opinions columnist
In
the year 2015, we should all have some awareness of the pervasive disparity between men and women in our society. We are constantly reminded of the gender gap and its various manifestations in education, jobs and lifestyle. With Deborah Frank Feinen being our newly elected Champaign mayor, Hillary Clinton officially announcing her 2016 presidential run and some advocating to get a woman on the $20 bill, it feels like we are on to something great for the future of women. Unfortunately, the truth and statistics out there don’t all say the same. Despite the plethora of hurdles women have overcome in the United States these past several decades, there is still immense underrepresentation of women in our society in multiple respects. Considering women make up over half of the U.S. population, this is clearly a problem. To throw some numbers out there for perspective: women hold less than 20 percent of seats in Congress, the U.S. ranks 98th in the world for percentage of women in national legislature and only 12 of the 100 largest U.S. cities have female mayors. Further, women make up only five percent of Fortune 500 chief executive officers, 15 percent of film writers, three percent of clout positions in mainstream media, 14.6 percent of executive officers, seven percent of directors of 250 top grossing domestic films — the list goes on. For women to make up the majority of our population yet fill less than a quarter of various leadership roles in our country is troubling because it perpetuates the oppression of this social minority group.
CEOs, government workers, managers and others are the voices of our industries, and we need to make sure these voices are representative of our population. I don’t bring up these numbers with the intention that we need to meet some arbitrary quota of females in all of these settings. I don’t want to point to the fact that we have never had a female president as the sole reason to vote for Hillary Clinton. I don’t want to say that women should make up a specific percentage of CEOs. These would be band-aid solutions to numerically fix a problem instead of changing a surrounding culture. Ultimately, I think we need to foster a culture that better encourages young girls to pursue male-dominated fields and positions based on their own merit and desire. As stated in “Miss Representation,� a 2011 American documentary about sexism in society and media, “You can’t be what you can’t see.� It’s difficult to inspire a young woman to become U.S. president one day when she’s never seen a female president before. As the documentary also notes, at 7 years old, a roughly equal number of boys and girls say they want to be U.S. president one day. However, eight years later when asked the same question, the number of girls who say they want to one day be president declines immensely compared to boys. This mentality applies to several other areas as well. In 2012, Forbes indicated that encouragement for young girls to pursue math and science is seldom, and there is an unconscious bias that these are “male� fields. The article further says these stereotypes constrain the likelihood of girls developing an interest in math and science. Not surprisingly, we see the exhibition of this phenomenon at our own university. Accord-
Female representation in University fields Comparing male and female populations in varying fields of study at the University of Illinois. Women make up:
19%
of engineering programs
14%
of LAS physics programs
80% 88% 32% SOURCE: University DMI ing to the University’s Division of Management Information for the spring 2015 semester, women make up about 19 percent of all engineering programs, 14 percent of the College of Liberal Arts and Science’s physics program and 32 percent of the mathematics program. These are shockingly low numbers when, for comparison, women make up 80 percent of education programs and 88 percent of social work programs. We need women in maledominated fields to bring new perspectives and talents into areas such as medicine and bioengineering. We need women to help find solutions to some of the world’s most fatal illnesses and design technologies to make our world more efficient. We need more female hands and voices to lead and change a world with numerous problems in need of solutions.

TOREY BUTNER THE DAILY ILLINI If we ever want to address these aforementioned issues, we need to foster an environment that puts all genders on the same playing field from day one. We need to rethink our process of gender socialization and rework our approach to K-12 education. We need to continue with initiatives such as Like A Girl and GoldieBlox, which help eliminate some of the stereotypical gender differences. These initiatives give girls encouragement and inspiration to hopefully pursue presently male-dominated positions. If we want young girls to one day become our next governors, presidents and faces of our currency, we need to promote a culture where women in these roles are no longer the exception.

Spice up summer with class CARLY CHARLES Opinions columnist
It
goes without saying that when it comes to course work, general education requirements usually get the short end of the stick. No matter what your area of focus is — be it chemical engineering, Spanish, underwater basket weaving — it’s almost guaranteed that courses in your major are where you spend most time on homework and studying. Even so, it’s a pillar of the liberal arts philosophy that you achieve an education well-rounded in arts, humanities and sciences. What happens if — read: when — you don’t have the time to be so well-rounded? Although many University students might find themselves too burdened by their major courses to give their non-major courses the attention they require, enrolling in summer courses allows students to explore new areas of study during a time when their educational schedules are far less hectic. There’s a web page on Facebook for easy classes at the
University. Students share their experiences and make requests regarding easy courses that fulfill their general education requirements, such as the natural sciences or the quantitative reasoning II requirement. The gist of this page implies that gen-eds, or non-major courses, are an inevitable evil and should therefore be dealt with as painlessly as possible. While I, too, am guilty of putting my random-philosophycourse-that-satisfies-quant-I last on my perpetually growing list of priorities, I had a very positive experience last summer that quite altered the way I went about my undergraduate studies. By taking advantage of summer courses and allowing myself the time to delve into areas outside my comfort zone, I was able to explore new interests and learn about topics I would have otherwise walked past. Having not stumbled upon any exciting adventures abroad or a snazzy internship to occupy the approaching summer, I chose instead to remain on campus. I enrolled in two courses: atmospheric sciences 120 and history 171; both satisfied two of my final general education requirements.
Now don’t get me wrong: I regularly scan the Weather Channel’s Urbana page to see whether it’s capri-pant appropriate weather before leaving for class, and I had every American Girl Doll there was to be had as a youngin’ to sneakily teach me history. However, if a gen-ed required weather or history class had to compete with the rest of the 19 credit hours I, for some reason, volunteered myself to take, they probably wouldn’t stand a chance to get the attention they deserve. In the end, I would allot a significantly lesser amount of attention to these classes. Because at the end of the day, the average college student’s schedule is often too tightly structured to offer very much time to subjects outside his or her main area of focus. And though I might pass these secondary gen-ed classes with a remarkably average C-, it’s doubtful that I will retain any of the information I hastily crammed into my flustered head the night before the exam. What I discovered over the summer, however, was that when I had only two classes upon which to focus my attention — instead of, say, seven — it was much easier to give
either class my undivided attention. Subjects upon which I would have directed a compromised level of attention were suddenly the main attraction, and so I had no choice but to focus my full attention on these extraneous courses. In so doing, I finally reaped the benefits of a “well-rounded� education. If even without the added burden of regular classes you still find yourself rather busy over the summer, the University offers a wide variety of online courses as well. The way I view these is that they yield all of the educational value with none of the puttingon-pants hassle. According to the University’s home page, there are currently over 200 courses available to students online over the summer with subjects ranging from Anthropology to Criminology. While it might seem appealing to completely abandon one’s academic pursuits in the classroom between the months of May and August, it is incredibly useful and rewarding to take advantage of the summer session courses the University has to offer.

Walk to raise eating disorder awareness
BY STEPHANIE KIM STAFF WRITER
More than 150 people will gather at the University Arboretum on Saturday morning for one cause: to raise awareness and support for those struggling with eating disorders. The University’s Counseling Center and McKinley Health Center are partnering with the National Eating Disorders Association, NEDA, to host its second NEDA Walk on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Registration opens at 8 a.m. and requires a $15 fee, said Bethni Gill, health education nutritionist at McKinley, who is helping coordinate the event. As of now, there are 167 people signed up compared to the 140 walkers who registered in the fi rst NEDA Walk in October 2013. With nearly $25,000 gathered so far, this year’s event raised more funds than the previous Walk’s $19,000 and more than quadrupled its fundraising goal of $5,000. The amount of gift cards and food donations from campus locations also exceeded their expectations, said Nisha Moorkoth, senior in AHS and one of three interns at McKinley. “I was expecting people not to donate because (eating disorders) are so taboo,� Moorkoth said. “That goes to show that you don’t even see the support because people are so scared to talk about it.� Yet, such stigma associated with eating disorders and any mental illness not only limits conversation about the issue but hinders the number of resources as well, said Scott Tabakin,
returning guest speaker and Chief Financial Officer at ValueOptions in Norfolk, Virgina. Tabakin is currently ranked as the top participant and also created the top fundraising team with his wife Lori (’80 alumna in AHS) and son Ethan (’13 alumnus in urban and regional planning) for his daughter Mindy, who has been struggling with an eating disorder for more than 12 years and did not receive adequate support and services during her college years, he said. “There aren’t many services on (most) college campuses for mental health on a larger scale and for eating disorders on a more narrow scale,� Tabakin said. In fact, only six percent of college students were asked about their eating disorders by a health provider, according to the 2013 NEDA report, “Eating Disorders on the College Campus� involving data collected from 165 colleges and universities in the U.S. Although this is the supposed norm among many college campuses, Tabakin said the University stands out in its efforts to promote awareness and treatment of eating disorders — particularly through the Counseling Center. “While it may not seem like a lot, what the U of I does through the Counseling Center is really remarkable in the whole scheme of things,� Tabakin said. The Counseling Center, as well as the McKinley Health Center, provides free services for students who have an eating disor-
der. Appointments can be scheduled Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition to the accessibility of these services, the Counseling Center’s confidentiality and selection of skilled clinicians provide those with disordered eating a comfortable place to begin their journey to recovery, said Sarah Zola, a junior in LAS, who will also speak at the event. “One of the main things about eating disorders is that you can feel very alone and very secluded,� she said. “The Counseling Center is a great place to start telling as little or as much of your experience as you want.� It’s been about a year since she has recovered from an eating disorder that began in high school. While she never expected to share about her personal story so publicly, she did make the “conscious decision� during her recovery to help others through her experience, she said. “I’m a fi rm believer in using our experiences to support others and to let them know that they’re not alone and to let them know that recovery is possible,� she said. But recovery does not mean that struggles will cease to exist, she said. Rather, it’s having the mindset of looking past one’s outer image to fi nd true self-worth, she added. “If (an eating disorder) was going to be a part of my story, I wanted to reframe it,� she said. “It’s not going to be who I am; it’s not going to defi ne me.�

Other classic Jenna Marbles videos include “How to avoid talking to people you don’t want to talk to,� “What girls do in the car,�and “Drunk makeup tutorial.�
“She’s so proudly and unapologetically herself, and people love her for it.� VICTORIA HENDZEL JUNIOR IN MEDIA
As of this week, the Jenna Marbles YouTube channel has over one billion views and nearly 15 million subscribers, making her “the most-subscribed-to female personality on YouTube,� according to a Reason.com article. Ipek Firat, sophomore in Business, has been watching Marbles’ videos for about tels said. Although the expo aims to show students how they can help the environment and how the institute works, they also explore careers that promote sustainability. ISTC Research Specialist Beth Meschewski has been working on an interactive display that allows students to see how they “can make any career they’re interested in a green career, so that we can have a sustainable future.� Despite having over 100
four years, and she continues to be an avid fan of Marbles’ quirky humor. “I’ve always felt like YouTubers get a lot of hateful comments from random people,� Firat said. “It’s really impressive how she didn’t give up because of that and got where she is today.� In fact, earlier this year, Marbles posted a video called “Reading Mean Comments,� where she did just that in a similar format to Jimmy Kimmel’s series, “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets.� Her video received an outpouring of positive support from concerned fans, so much so that she was prompted to write a more in-depth blog post about the subject. In terms of future plans, Marbles says that it’s anyone’s guess. “I have no idea what I’m going to do next,� she said in a New York Times video from 2013. “I really like when people say that I made them laugh today, so I think next I’m going to continue making people feel a little less weird, maybe a little more normal and brightening their days on the Internet.�

ust as Clark Kent transforms into Superman, Jenna Mourey dons her false eyelashes, sardonic wit and pint-sized pooches to become Internet legend Jenna Marbles. Marbles has built an online empire based on YouTube videos, Instagram posts, blog and vlog posts, and most recently, a podcast. With her mini partners in crime, dogs Mr. Marbles, Kermit — and recent additions, Peach the puppy and boyfriend Julien Solomita — she creates new videos every Wednesday (sometimes Thursday) to document her “majestical daily life.� Thursday night, she will break out of the Internet and come to campus for a free Illini Union Board-sponsored lecture at 7 p.m. in the Illini Union I-Rooms. Students at the University are excited to see the face behind the “magical YouTube videos.� “I fi nd Jenna’s videos hilarious, and I can always count on them for a good laugh,� said Jackie Zhou, junior in LAS. “It’s always exciting to meet someone you admire, especially after being in the (YouTube) community for years.� Just like Marbles’ personality, this lecture will be a bit unconventional. Instead of a typical speech or presentation, this event will run more like a talk show. Since April 5, the Illini Union Board invited students to use the tag #AskJennaUIUC to post their own questions on social media, including Twitter and a Facebook page for the event.

Hidden gem: Naturally Illinois Expo Expo showcases eco-friendly Illinois on campus BY SUSAN SZUCH STAFF WRITER
PHOTO COURTESY OF THE PRAIRIE RESEARCH INSTITUTE
Two students examine an insect from one of the entomology exhibits at the Naturally Illinois Expo in 2013.
A short walk away from the State Farm Center, nestled among other buildings in Research Park, is the Forbes Natural History Building, one of “the University’s best kept secrets,� said Sue Post, chairperson of the Naturally Illinois Expo. However, with the arrival of around 800 students from schools in the Champaign-Urbana area on Friday for the expo, one could suppose the secret is out. The Naturally Illinois Expo serves as a way to educate students on the preservation of resources while also showcasing the work done at the Prairie Research Institute to the general public.
The institute is holding its sixth annual expo on Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free at both the Forbes Natural History Building at 1816 S. Oak St., as well as the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center at 1 E. Hazelwood Dr. One of the main changes was holding the event on a different day in order to let it stand out, Post said. She explained that in previous years, the expo was held in conjunction with the ACES Open House and Engineering Open House. This year, the expo is home to 60 exhibits, with the ISTC housing those with a focus on sustainability. This year features the Natural History Survey’s collection of fossilized insects in amber, which explores biodiversity; the return of the 400-gallon fi sh tank, which demonstrates native and invasive species in Illinois
and an interactive display on the Mahomet Aquifer. In addition, there will be an exhibit about zero waste in industry and on campus, which will illustrate how the institute is trying to increase compost and recycling efforts.
“We’re trying to engage students from the moment they get here to try to think about the waste they’re creating.� BART BARTELS
TECHNICAL ASSISTANT ENGINEER
As part of a competition, the institute will urge students to reduce waste as much as possible for the event, said Bart Bartels, a technical assistance engineer for the Illinois Sustainable Technology Cen-
ter. Bartels said he hopes this pushes students to think of the way they use resources more critically. “We’re trying to engage students from the moment they get here to try to think about the waste they’re creating,� Bartels said. “So we’re trying to... move away from the linear process that we now have, where we’re stripping minerals, using them to manufacture and immediately dumping. We just want to close that loop a little bit and continue to reuse what’s already in the system.� As well as notifying teachers of the zero-waste initiative, there will be stations throughout the event that allow students to divide up what goes into compost, recycling and landfi lls. This set-up allows students to see the impact they’re making on the environment almost

Groce announces Colbert’s transfer
BY ALEX ROUX
BASKETBALL COLUMNIST
Illinois head basketball coach John Groce announced Wednesday that sophomore forward Austin Colbert has decided to transfer. “After meeting with Austin, he and I agree that it is in his best interest to pursue
a fresh start and continue his education and basketball career at another institution,� Groce said in a press release. The 6-foot-9-inch Colbert was a member of head coach John Groce’s first recruiting class at Illinois, ranked as the No. 36 power forward in the Class of 2013 by ESPN.
com. The Virginia native’s commitment came as somewhat of a surprise, as Colbert spurned three eastern schools (Seton Hall, Miami, Villanova) in favor of Illinois. Colbert received limited minutes under Groce, averaging 1.5 points and 1.5 rebounds per game over the
course of two seasons. However, he came on strong near the end of his sophomore year, displaying a knack for timely rebounds and tip-ins — he averaged 3.6 rebounds over the fi nal five games of the regular season. The sophomore played 15 minutes in the Illini’s season-ending 79-58 loss to Ala-
bama in the fi rst round of the NIT. Colbert is the sixth player to mutually agree to part ways with Groce and the Illini program. He joins Devin Langford, Myke Henry, Ibby Djimde, Mike Shaw and Aaron Cosby on the list of departures during Groce’s three years at
Illinois. If Colbert elects to transfer to a junior college, he can play right away. If he chooses to transfer to another Division I program, he will have to sit out a year, per NCAA rules.

Team splits up in White and Orange to compete, end spring season BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER
When the Illinois football team splits into Orange and White teams and takes the field for the annual Spring Game on Saturday at Memorial Stadium, one team will start the game with a doubledigit lead. The White team will hold a 17-0 lead when Saturday’s game kicks off. The deficit was created to determine whether the players on each team can overcome obstacles or defend a lead when games actually matter. “There’s really a sense of urgency,� said offensive coordinator Bill Cubit. “You can’t just go up there and kind of just walk through it, because if the other team scores, now you need four scores, so that’s a difficult spot to put those guys in, which is exactly what you want.� The teams were decided on Monday and divided based on position on the depth chart. The starters (ones) will play on the Orange team while the twos and threes will play on the White team. Offensive line coach Tom Brat-
tan will coach the Orange and linebackers, coach Al Seamonson will coach the White, while the rest of the coaching staff is split between the two teams. Illinois will have 14 players out with injury, which was the same amount in last year’s game. Because of the lack in depth, some players will play for both teams. Freshman quarterback Chayce Crouch, junior transfer running back Henry Enyenihi and offensive linemen Patrick Flavin and Zach Heath will switch uniforms at halftime and play for the other team to get a different look. Due to lack of depth, the defensive linemen will wear blue jerseys and play for both teams. The thin depth chart hasn’t slowed down the progress of the line and the entire defense. The unit was hitting on all cylinders at the end of last season and were key to late-season wins that ultimately landed Illinois in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl. Even though the defense hasn’t been perfect, the coaching staff agrees that the improvements made over the spring will be visible this season.

llini fans are just like all sports fans: they yearn for the promise of a new season. A new season brings fresh faces, returns experienced ones, shines up old stadiums and carries with it an unblemished record. Let’s be clear: The 2015 Illinois football season does not start with Saturday’s Orange and Blue Spring Game. That doesn’t mean head coach Tim Beckman won’t break out his “beans and weenies� expression (he already did once at Tuesday’s press conference — beans and weenies being the dinner of the losing team, the winners eat steak). That doesn’t mean Illini nation can’t get excited about new co-defensive coordinator Greg Phair, who said Tuesday about his defense, “we’re playing as hard as we can.� And lastly, it doesn’t mean that Illini nation won’t and can’t show up Saturday evening and get excited about the upcoming Illinois season. But let me repeat: The season doesn’t start Saturday. The White team is beginning the game with 17 points. That fact in itself is a pretty good indication that Saturday shouldn’t be the date circled on Illini fans’ calendars. The date that should be circled is
Sept. 4, when Illinois hosts Kent State under the lights of Memorial Stadium in its season opener. Why? Because the team playing Saturday will look a lot different from the one that will storm out of the home locker room in the fall. Big junior defensive lineman Teko Powell won’t play Saturday, although you can guarantee he’ll be on the field in September. The defensive line will rotate three outside players and three inside players who will play for both the Orange and White teams. Several members of the Illini’s offensive line, including to-be-freshman Gabe Megginson — Tim Beckman’s highest-ranked recruit ever — won’t play Saturday (Megginson isn’t even on campus yet). The STAR position on defense still isn’t solidified, although sophomore James Crawford has seen the most action with the top group. And the Illini coaching staff still hasn’t decided on a backup to running back Josh Ferguson. Beckman and offensive coordinator Bill Cubit have said that if the season started today, freshman early-enrollee Dre Brown would have the No. 2 spot, but what about Ke’Shawn Vaughn? The four-star running back and 2014 Gatorade Tennessee Football Player of the Year isn’t going to be in Champaign until the fall. Last spring there was a main storyline to the game:

Baseball seeks to continue winning streak BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
Following Tuesday’s dramatic comeback win over Illinois State, the Illinois baseball team will set its sights on this weekend’s series with Indiana at Illinois Field. Illinois (30-6-1, 8-1 Big Ten) will look to extend its 11-game winning streak against Indiana (2112, 5-6), which has won three of its last four games. The Illini are in the midst of their best stretch of the season, and even though their past few victories have been close calls, head coach Dan Hartleb likes that his team keeps fi nding ways to win. “We’ve still got that belief that
we’re going to win every game, and guys keep picking each other up,� Hartleb said. “When the pitching hasn’t done what they need to do, the hitting has come up, and we’ve made some great defensive plays.� Hartleb said scoring without getting hits is one of the overlooked aspects of the Illini’s winning streak.

Three to represent gymnastics at nationals BY ASHLEY WIJANGCO STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s gymnastics team won’t be competing at the NCAA Championships for the first time in three years, but three of its gymnasts will. Head coach Kim Landrus wanted her team to qualify but knows having three of her gymnasts advance as individuals — more than any other program that did not advance as a team — is exciting. “For them to have the opportunity to go to nationals and represent us really speaks volumes about how far they’ve come all season long and how hard they’ve worked,� Landrus said. The championships will be held from Friday to Sunday at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Sophomore Mary Jane Horth and junior Giana O’Connor will compete in the all-around. They earned their berths for being the top two all-around finishers
who did not advance with a team at April 4’s Morgantown Regional. Senior Sunny Kato will compete on the uneven bars, and was named the co-champion on uneven bars at regionals with Florida’s Bridget Sloan. All three gymnasts mentioned their desire to compete as a team, but said they’re happy knowing they’ll have familiar faces around. What differs, though, are their paths to nationals. *** Horth, ranked No. 14 nationally in the all-around, will complete her first season as an all-around competitor at the NCAA Championships. This season also marks her first full season as a collegiate gymnast. She didn’t compete last season until Feb. 21 due to recovering from a torn left Achilles. Horth is one of three all-arounders on the team and has maintained that position throughout the season. “Coming in freshman year,

Men’s track prepares for Drake at home BY PETER ROMANCHUK STAFF WRITER
Saturday will be the first and last outdoor meet hosted by the Illinois men’s track team this spring. The Illini host the Illinois Twilight meet Saturday in the Illinois Track and Soccer Stadium. Though the team has limited opportunities to compete at home, the team plans to take advantage of the Illinois Twilight to leave a lasting impression, while preparing for a crucial meet the next week at the Drake Relays. “Being at home in an environment filled with our family, friends and classmates makes a big difference,” head coach Mike Turk said.
“We always have great performances at home meets ... It’s a chance for a lot of the guys to show people what they’ve been doing.” Illinois will be looking to continue last weekend’s success at the Jim Click Shootout in Tucson, Arizona. The Illini finished at the top of a field that included No. 4 LSU and No. 5 University of Southern California. Senior Davis Fraker set a new school record for the hammer throw with a 65.36 meter toss and junior Cam Viney captured Illinois’ only sprints victory with a personal best of 49.92 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles. “We’ve started out real well — we put up some
good marks and beat good teams,” Turk said. “However, we can’t just sit on that and wait for the next big meet. We’ve got to take each day as it comes and improve on it.” Because the team has started out so well, Turk expects his team not to rest on what it has already accomplished. “I challenged the team last week to keep improving, and they did very well as a whole responding to the challenge,” Turk said. Illinois will attempt to maintain its home dominance for the year. The Illini were a perfect 3-0 during the cross country and indoor track and field seasons in team events that
were held at home. With the outdoor season now underway, Illinois’ opponents will now have to deal with the weather conditions. “A lot of the teams that come down here aren’t used to the wind,” senior DJ Zhan said. “We practice in it every day, so it doesn’t affect us as much as the other teams.” Field events for the Illinois Twilight will start at noon, while the running events are scheduled to start at 5 p.m. Teams competing include: Eastern Illinois, Bradley, Butler, DePaul, Illinois State, UIC, Valparaiso, Western Illinois and Indiana. The Illini are also using the home meet as a final tuneup before next week’s

Track aims to bounce back at Twilight meet BY ALEX WALLNER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s track and field team competes this weekend at the Illinois Twilight meet in its only home meet of the outdoor season at the Illinois Track and Soccer Stadium. The Illini are coming off a last-place finish at the Jim Click Shootout in Tucson, Arizona, last weekend and hope to rebound in front of a home crowd. At last year’s Illinois Twilight, four Illini recorded first-place finishes. Three of the four victorious Illini returned this season. Senior Alyssa Schneider won her event in the 5,000 meters, junior Britten Petrey won her event in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and sophomore Kandie Bloch-Jones won the high jump. Indiana State won last year’s Illinois Twilight with a total of 250 points. The Illini finished with 141 total points for second. This meet will be the second time that head coach Ron Garner’s team has competed in Champaign this year — they had one home meet dur-
ing the indoor season — and the second time competing in-state during the outdoor season. The team competed at Eastern Illinois on April 4. Petrey said she believes another strong performance this weekend is key for what she ultimately wants to do come season’s end. “I need to compete with the other runners in the race,” Petrey said. “Steeplechase can be a race where it spreads out pretty quickly, or it is bunched up. For me to compete in the steeple and be successful, I need to really focus this weekend on making myself a better competitor without hurdles.” Schneider is just trying to put in a strong effort this weekend. “I (want) to take advantage of competing at home and not traveling and continuing to work toward my goals for this season,” Schneider said. The senior’s main goal of the outdoor season is to break the school record for the mile, which was set by Angela Bizzarri in 2010. As of now, Schneider said she is putting in as much work as she can, so that it

season’s series 2-1, but Illinois has won eight of the last games against the Hoosiers at Illinois Field. Before their 6-2 loss to Indiana State on Tuesday, the Hoosiers swept Rutgers in a three-game series over the weekend. Indiana began Big Ten play dropping three straight, but are 5-3 in conference games since. In the Big Ten, Indiana is third in batting average and fifth in ERA. Its lineup is led by a pair of seniors, Scott Donley and Casey Rodrigue, who lead the team in batting average and RBI, respectively. The pitching staff is led by reliever Luke Harrison, who
has allowed just three runs while striking 34 batters in 27 2/3 innings this season. Illinois has played nine games in the last 12 days, so after a much-needed day off on Wednesday, Hartleb expects continued success this weekend. “Hopefully they’ll catch up on some things from an academic stand point and get a little time away from baseball and get a little bit of rest,” Hartleb said. “Then we need to have a good practice and be ready for this weekend.”

She officially began her Illinois gymnastics career her sophomore season, and averaged a 9.663 on bars and
a 9.796 on beam. Her highest score in both events was 9.900, but inconsistency hurt her averages. This season, Kato achieved career high scores on bars and beam — both 9.950 — and credited her growth to a stronger mentality. “I’ve become really confident with myself,” Kato said. “And knowing that my team was also growing with me, I think that also helped to realize that I’m not only just a great gymnast in the gym, but I can also perform.” Kato hopes to make it to event finals and be named an All-American.

Saturday’s game is an opportunity for young guys to get their reps, make some noise in front of fans

Softball defeats DePaul Illini hit 7th
win out of the park in Chicago BY ETHAN SWANSON STAFF WRITER
The Illinois softball team made another stride toward its first winning record of the season Wednesday, coming within two games of .500 by defeating in-state opponent DePaul on the road and bringing its win streak to seven straight games. “We know we can’t get those early-season games back. We’re over it,” said head coach Terri Sullivan. “We’re battle tested and building off our recent wins. We have a lot of confidence moving forward.” Facing the Blue Demons (15-19, 7-1 Big East) was like looking in the mirror for the Illini (19-21, 8-4 Big Ten); DePaul had won eight of its last 10 games before Wednesday and possessed a potent offense that ranked 22nd in the nation in home runs and 34th in slugging percentage. Nonetheless, the streaking Big East team put nothing but zeroes on the board as the Illini cruised to a 6-0 victory. Illinois wasted no time getting to work at the plate Wednesday. Junior infielder Allie Bauch roped a double to center field to lead off the first inning. It was her team-leading 132nd hit of the season. “I go up to the plate aggressive every time knowing that if I don’t get it done, the next person will,” Bauch said. “It’s been really fun leading off for such a great offensive team.” Bauch did not stay stranded on second base for long.
Illinois 6 DePaul 0
Summary: At DePaul, Illinois won its 10th game in its last 11 outings, bringing the Illini just two games within .500 for the first time this season. Key Performer: Sophomore Jade Vecvanags – hit a two-run RBI single in the top of the seventh inning and pitched a complete game shut-out. Quote of the Game: Head coach Terri Sullivan — “We play to win any type of Sophomore first-baseman Alyssa Gunther reached first on an error in the next at-bat and a pair of RBIs by outfielders Nicole Evans and Carly Thomas brought both Illini across the plate. Senior Brittany Sanchez made the Illini outfield 3-for3 in the first inning with an RBI single of her own, scoring Evans and giving Illinois an early 3-0 lead. As the Illini bats went cold for the next five innings, it turned into the Jade Vecvanags show. The sophomore pitched a gem Wednesday, striking out four, while allowing only three hits and three walks. The performance was good enough to register the first shutout win of her career. “You have to trust that the coaching staff has done their scouting and that you have a defense behind you,” Vecvanags said. “Then you go out there and throw your stuff.” The dormant Illinois offense awoke once again in the final inning to put the exclamation point on an already impressive outing.
game.” Next up: vs. Wisconsin, April 17-19, Eichelberger Field Quick Notes: Wisconsin comes into Friday’s matchup 3-10 in conference, second to last in the Big Ten standings. Hidden Stat: Sophomore pitcher Jade Vecvanags leads the Big Ten in wins against conference opponents and has picked up every win in the Illini’s seven-game win-streak. Senior catcher Jess Perkins kicked of the Illini’s three-run inning with a solo home run — her seventh of the year. Then after consecutive singles by Thomas and Sanchez, Vecvanags proved she can contribute in the batter’s box just as well as the circle by ripping a tworun RBI single past the Blue Demon infield. A 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh ended with a Vecvanags strikeout to seal the Illini victory. Illinois’ early offense and stellar pitching was not the typical formula found in the Illini’s win-streak. Although it wasn’t a dramatic comeback like in recent outings, the players still believe this game was a significant win for the team moving forward. “You learn a lot about a team when you win in different ways like this,” Bauch said. “Seeing how we’re able to win in any situation makes us feel unstoppable.”

Women’s golf back in action in Ohio BY LUCAS WRIGHT STAFF WRITER
Illinois women’s golf head coach Renee Slone will lead her team into its final regular season tournament this weekend at the Lady Buckeye Spring Invitational. The Illini will face a tough task against a field filled with Big Ten teams on a difficult course. The Scarlet Course in Columbus, Ohio, was designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie, the same man who designed Augusta National Golf Club — the club that hosts The Masters. The course has a few distinct features that the Illini have to take into consideration. “There’s a lot of different lies you could possibly
have, along with big bunkers and sharply sloping greens,” assistant coach Jenny Coluccio said. “It’s not completely new to us but it is something we definitely have to consider as we prep for the weekend.” The team will look to continue their recent success as they head into the weekend with two straight top-five finishes. Freshman Grace Park has been the catalyst for the team, posting two straight top-25 finishes. In Illinois’ last event, the team finished with three players inside the top 25: Park, Gattone and freshman Jan Prapassarangkul. “We’re ready to go,” sophomore Stephanie Miller said. “There’s a lot of high energy, and we feel that
we are all prepared. We’re ready to put ourselves back out there and compete.” The team will take six players, as opposed to the usual five, to the tournament this weekend: Miller, Gattone, Prapassarangkul, Park, sophomore Emily Joers and senior Pimploy Thirati. Thirati has not qualified to appear in the last two matches for the Illini, but Gattone said Thirati made sure she would compete in the final regular season match of her career. “Our team has been working really hard, Pim (Thirati) especially,” Gattone said. “I know she was working really hard to get into the lineup, and she played great in qualifying.” Some of the Illini will be
sporting new equipment at Columbus this weekend, as the team was fitted for new putters during practice last week. Prapassarangkul, Park, Thirati and possibly Miller will each be putting their new Edel brand putters to the test. The team is hoping that the new putters will spark some life into the Illini on the greens. “Whenever you have something customized to exactly what you do, it certainly gives you confidence with that club in your hand,” Coluccio said. Illinois will compete against a strong field of teams this weekend, including many they will see at next week’s Big Ten Championship. Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State and host Ohio
The Illini’s next tilt will take place in West Lafayette, Indiana, — home of Big Ten rival Purdue — for the 12th installment of the Boilermaker Invitational on April 18-19. Play will take place on the Kampen Course of the Brick Boilermaker Golf Complex, which, in addition to being named one of the 10 best college course in America, has hosted the 2008 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship and the 2011 Big Ten Championship. Illinois is familiar with many of the ins and outs of
the course. “Purdue is a long, moderate type of golf course,” said head coach Mike Small. “The greens are big, and the pins could be tough. There are also some holes that can catch up and grab you where you can make a bigger number on.” The tournament has a field of 15 competitive teams, including conference rivals Purdue, Ohio State, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Indiana. The last time Illinois faced this many conference opponents, it was at the Big
Ten Match Play Championship. There, Illinois defeated Maryland, Michigan, and Purdue. Illinois also has a pretty good history at the Boilermaker Invitational. The team finished the event in third place in 2013 with a score of 880 (+16). In 2014, the Illini finished second with a score of 866 (+2). In both years, one team in particular has given Illinois a tough challenge: the Iowa Hawkeyes. The Hawkeyes have finished first for two consecutive seasons, besting Illinois by a combined

Golfers hope to climb back to No. 1 rank BY DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER
As the spring season dwindles down, the competition at the top of the men’s collegiate golf national leaderboard couldn’t be more fierce.

Men’s tennis remains undefeated in Big Ten BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER
The Illinois men’s tennis team is two matches away from its first undefeated Big Ten regular season since 2005. All that’s left on the conference slate for Illinois (213, Big Ten 9-0) is a showdown with one of the Big Ten’s top teams in Minnesota (17-6, Big Ten 8-1) on Friday and a match-up with a struggling Wisconsin (7-15, Big Ten 3-6) on Sunday. The Golden Gophers had been tied with the Illini for first place in the conference for most of the season but fell to Ohio State on April 3. They’ve been tied with the Buckeyes for second ever since then. Wisconsin has improved from its finish in the Big Ten cellar last season but still has only a 3-6 mark in conference play. Illinois head coach Brad Dancer has several options for filling out the lineup on the last regular season weekend for the Illini. The team is deep, rotating nine players in and out throughout the spring. No. 75 senior Farris Gosea, No. 23 junior Jared Hiltzik, No. 56 senior Tim Kopinski, No. 64 freshman Aron Hiltzik and No. 57 freshman Aleks Vukic all seem to be set as regulars in the line-up. That leaves the last spot up for grabs between freshman Toshiki Matsuya, junior Brian Page and seniors Blake Bazarnik and Ross Guignon. While Matsuya put together a six-match win streak in the middle of the season, he hasn’t played since Illi-
nois’ victory over Ohio State on March 29. Last Sunday was Senior Day, and Bazarnik, one of the day’s honorees, put on an impressive performance, grinding out a victory over Nebraska’s Bradford Zitsch, 6-2, 7-6 (7-5). Bazarnik has played all four matches the last two weekends, going 3-1 after not playing since March 16. Guignon also has seen more singles time as of late, playing one match in each of the last two weekends, his first singles action in more than a month. “They (the senior class) have put themselves in a 9-0 position in the Big Ten,” Dancer said. “It’ll be another great challenge for us, but they put themselves in a great position going into the weekend.” The Illini won the doubles point in both matches last weekend to extend their doubles winning streak to six consecutive matches. The duo of Jared Hiltzik and Kopinski earned a national ranking this week, coming in at No. 60. Gosea and Vukic put together a particularly dominant performance Sunday in an 8-0 shutout of Nebraska’s Chris Hobgarski and Andrew Dzulynsky. “Me and Vukic work well together in doubles,” Gosea said. “We’re both on the backhand side now, with forehands in the middle ... guys want to go up the middle, and we’re just taking forehands and pushing them through.” Minnesota is just behind Illinois in the Big Ten standings and boasts two-time

While the Big Ten regular season comes to a close this weekend, the Illini, Golden Gophers and Badgers will all return to Urbana next weekend for the Big Ten Tournament.

Illinois focuses on doubles change for weekend match BY JONATHAN JOFFE STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s tennis team has struggled in doubles as of late. Fortunately for the Illini, the lack of production in the doubles point has not stopped the team from racking up wins. Nevertheless, Illinois — currently on a five-game win streak — is making some adjustments to its lineup as it returns home for the final two matches of the regular season. The Illini (12-9, 4-5) face Nebraska (12-10, 0-9) on Saturday before facing Iowa (8-11, 2-7) on Sunday. Both of which are noon matches. Illinois head coach Michelle Dasso attributed recent success to a switch from team practices to individual workouts. She did so in hopes of zeroing in on issues concerning player mechanics. But Dasso is mixing it up once again, going back to team practices earlier this week with a particular purpose in mind. Dasso wanted to see how different pairings played together, hoping to find a match that clicked. “Obviously we struggled big time at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles this past weekend,” Dasso said. “We were fantastic at singles, and No. 1 doubles did a good job but we clearly weren’t good enough at No. 2 and No. 3 (doubles).” The players all have experience playing with each other, dating back to the fall. A constant rotation of partners is intentionally practiced early in the year in the event that line-
up changes — like the ones Dasso is considering now — need to be made at any point in the season. “That’s a huge reason why we switch them up like we do early on,” Dasso said. “You have that chemistry if you have to throw things together, and we’re seriously thinking about doing that.” Sophomore Madie Baillon admitted that the chemistry gained from playing with different teammates in the fall has made the thought of lineup changes easier to grasp. Baillon lost both doubles matches she played last weekend when paired with sophomore Jerricka Boone. Baillon said she didn’t get down on herself after the losses, but added that she knew changes could be coming. “I played with Grace (Tapak) today, and we did really well together,” Baillon said Tuesday. “We played in the fall a little bit, so it was something that we were both comfortable with.” While doubles is the big focus for Illinois leading up to the weekend, the players will have a more important focus during the upcoming matches: sending off the seniors. For Julia Jamieson and for mer A l l-A mer ic a n Melissa Kopinski, these two matches will be their last at the Atkins Tennis Center in their collegiate careers. Sophomore Alexis Casati played doubles frequently last year with Kopinski and pointed out that sending off her close friend will be extremely sad.
Tennis Weekend Illinois vs. Nebraska When/Where: Saturday at Noon, Atkins Tennis Center. Quick notes: Illinois defeated Nebraska last year 4-2. Hidden stat: The Illini trail 1-3 in the all-time series. Illinois vs. Iowa When/where: Sunday at Noon, Urbana. Quick notes: Illinois lost 3-4 last year at home to Iowa. Hidden stat: The Illini lead 26-24 in the all-time series. Casati also spoke very highly of Jamieson, who remains a vocal centerpiece, even when she is not in the lineup. “Mel is a great player — an All-American — and Julia is a great leader,” Casati said. “It is going to be hard for everyone to see them go.” Dasso had nothing but good things to say about her seniors. She said that their passion for tennis is unmatched by anyone around the team. “Their passion for the game and just their preparation is remarkable,” Dasso said. “We were able to rebound from the path that we were on and fight back, and that all stems from the seniors.”

Rugby players bring different perspectives to club BY ZOE KALER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Rich Daniels is a man of many passions. The sophomore is majoring in music performance with a pre-law track and is the president of the Illinois Men’s Rugby team. “Music is less competitive, and at the same time, you need the same dedication and work ethic in both music and rugby to succeed,� he said. But it takes sacrifice to balance the time commitment that comes with being involved in so many activities. Daniels said if he has rehearsal on a Saturday, he might have to miss a tournament, and a performance gig during the week could make him late to practice. In the far future, he may make a career out of law or music. Daniels said he would like to be a professional musician or educator, but isn’t sure what he would like to do with a law degree. In the near future, Daniels is focused on the team’s performance in the championship tournament that Illinois will host on Saturday. The team is ranked first in the Big Ten, and they will be the No. 1 seed going into the tournament. “For this weekend we’re focusing more on the fundamentals of the game to make sure we don’t make that many mistakes on Saturday,� Daniels said. “Everyone’s got the

A rugby player of 10 years, Bird said some aspects of the sport differ in the United States from the United Kingdom. “Everyone here has obviously come from (American football), so you have taken athletes from football and put them into rugby where in England everyone is growing up playing the sport, so you’ve got people with better skills, whereas everyone here is quicker and stronger.� Bird said playing in the United States gave him a completely different perspective on rugby that he can take back to England.
