Holi festival fundraises for kids Student group provides a cultural, festive atmosphere BY ASHNI GANDHI STAFF WRITER
Asha for Education, a student run University group, hosted its fifth annual Holi Festival and raised 18,000 for underprivileged children in India. Asha for Education’s chapter at the University was established in 1999, and its effort have grown throughout the years. This year’s festival, held Saturday, over 2,500 people participated in the “Indian Color Festival.” All the pro-

this,” Malani said. “I think when you allow people to openly, freely throw colors, with the music, colors and food, the idea of this event just appeals to people.” Based on Malani’s view, the growth in popularity in this Indian event is due to the popularity in color runs and other color events. Having color and being outdoors commemorates spring, for all people alike, she said. This festival is not only a demonstration of culture for people unfamiliar with the Indian tradition, but it also helps South Asians get in touch with their roots.

A bomb alert was issued at Pizza Hut, 411 E. Green St., Champaign at around 2 a.m. on Sunday. The emergency ended at 3 a.m. Drucker said many of the people in the area seemed unaware of the threat. “Many seemed unaware of the threat/Illini Alert and were surprised and annoyed to fi nd that they couldn't go home (if they lived in the area) or take the most direct route to wherever they were going,” she said. At around 3 a.m. the bomb was determined an “unfounded threat” and an Illini Alert was issued saying it was safe to resume regular activities in the area. This bomb threat is one of two within the past two years in the Champaign area. On November 19, 2015, a threat was posted on reddit saying “Bomb. Parkland college. 11 am.” Classes were cancelled that day and the campus was evacuated until law enforcement

The Champaign Pizza Hut on Green Street was the location of a bomb threat hoax early Sunday morning. A bomb threat was called in by an unknown suspect at 1:57 a.m, according to a Champaign Police Department report. An Illini Alert was promptly issued to students and faculty at 2:15 a.m. Both CPD and the University of Illinois Police Department officers were at the scene and closed the blocks from Sixth and Green St. to Fourth and Green St. Residents in buildings were not evacuated, though sidewalks were kept clear by officers on the scene. Junior and former employee of the Illini Media Company Steffie Drucker was at the intersection of Sixth and Green Streets at the time of the threat.
Interim Provost Edward Feser sent an email Friday to all non-tenure track faculty whom the Non-Tenure Faculty Coalition Local 6546 represent stating that faculty who strike will not be paid. On Monday, the union will announce what strike actions will be taken after the strike committee vote on work actions. The union voted last week with “overwhelming majority” to consider striking after becoming frustrated with the negotiation process.
The strike is not “openended,” meaning it would only last for a few days and can include a series of actions such as rallies, picketing, a building strike or a one-to-three day work stoppage. “We have reached tentative agreements on several key items and believe that further progress can be made at the bargaining table,” Feser said. “We are disappointed it appears the NTFC isn’t willing to give the process a chance.” Gilmore sent a statement to members, expressing that he appreciated Feser reaching out to them because they had not heard anything throughout the week regarding the administration’s position. He said the union had not yet agreed on key

Anyone who’s spent time on Nevada Street can tell you about the variety of cultural houses on our campus. Yet some students believe there needs to be more options represented in our University’s cultural resource centers. Akram Almasri, senior in LAS, began his goal to create an Arab Cultural House last fall. Almasri, who attended a Muslim school in suburban Chicago, believes an Arab Cultural House could help defuse some of the Islamophobia he’s seen on campus. “There’s obviously current events going on with regards to the war on terror, how certain people perpetrate specific acts of terror,” Almasri said. “Of course some people generalize that to an entire people.” This one-dimensional
misunderstanding of his culture, religion and even his people inspired him to make a change. This inspired him to use the LENS Diversity Certifi cate project to push to create an Arab American Cultural House. LENS, which stands for Learn, Envision, Navigate and Synthesize, is an initiative through the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations created to address gaps in diversity appreciation on campus. Since the project began, Almasri and a few partners have since led a group of 25 students to build momentum for the cause. They have reached out to administration, religious institutions in the Champaign-Urbana area and Arabic classes to look for support and donations. Almasri also plans to spread the word through a YouTube video and flyer handouts. However, Almasri said

Students opt to live in co-op houses BILLIE SCHAUB
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
In August of 2015, Aaron Schneberger, a graduate student in LAS, didn’t know where he was going to be living come the beginning of the semester. While studying in Poland, Sch neberger sca nned Craigslist hoping to fi nd the perfect place in a town he had never even visited with only a few weeks until classes began. The Gwendolyn Brooks Cooperative House in Urbana seemed like it would be a good fit. It excited him because he would be living in a place with 13 other people and he was coming from Europe and didn’t know anyone. “I thought living in a coop would be exciting and also a great way to build a support network really quickly,” he said. The Brooks co-op is one of two houses in Urbana under North American Students of Cooperation or NASCO. The organization owns the two houses and hundreds others like it across the country. While the inhabitants pay their rent to NASCO,
there is no landlord, so the house is managed by those who live in it. This means everyone in the house does different chores including grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, paying bills and maintenance. Daniel Miller, General Manager for NASCO Properties, said the main reasons members join housing co-ops are cost, convenience and community. Most student co-ops are able to offer rent below market rates and far below rates found in dorms or student-focused property management companies, said Miller. “Co-ops also let students have their own lease without making them worry about whether a roommate is going to short them on rent or leave town and stick them with the rent,” Miller said. NASCO also provides their houses with a vacancy fund. This means that a portion of the rent that everyone under NASCO pays goes into a fund. If a house has a vacancy, instead of jacking up the price of every-
one else’s rent, this fund is used to pay off that portion of the rent. Katie Kucera, a University graduate, has lived in the Harvest House Cooperative for two years. Kucera says the low-cost and convenience of co-op living is what attracted her after two years in the dorms. “The total for my food, utilities and rent is about 500 dollars a month, and I haven’t gone grocery shopping in over two years,” said Kucera. “Every night someone makes dinner for the whole house, so I never need to eat out.” While living with up to 13 other people can feel crowded at times, Miller says many experience a strong sense of community when living in a co-op. “Some students appreciate the closeness that can develop when they get to know their housemates not just in a superficial way, but by living and working together, and sharing their perspectives to help make decisions as a group.”

The HIDRA, the University’s fusion device.
UI one of four to complete nuclear fusion device Plans to form first plasma will take place Friday BY MICHAEL SEMACA STAFF WRITER
The University’s very own nuclear fusion device, the Hybrid Illinois Device for Research and Applications, or HIDRA, will finally be completed this week. It will form its first plasma on April 22. This process will allow researchers like Dr. Daniel Andruczyk, the head of the HIDRA project in the Department of Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering (NPRE), to conduct tests with the machine. “We’ll get our first plasma (Friday). It’ll be the fi rst official start of the machine. That’s really exciting,” Andruczyk said. “All machines go through this: you have your first plasma, and from there you start to do experiments.” The HIDRA is a machine thats able to execute nuclear fusion, the process of colliding two hydrogen isotopes together to create helium, which releases a massive amount of energy. The problem is that these hydrogen molecules need to be at a temperature hotter than the sun and in the form of a plasma, the highest energy state of matter, to actually fuse together. Since a plasma is so hot, it takes an incredible amount

the Office of Inclusion and International Relations, believes an Arab Cultural House poses a monetary, not egalitarian, issue for the University. “I think right now, it’s difficult to create a center when we have no money to do that,” Secuban said. “It’s really easy to talk about creating a center but you also need an infrastructure to maintain a center.” Secuban said that Arab American students should utilize other cultural houses for the time being. “For right now it’s important that we incorporate those groups into the work that we’re already doing before we fi nd money and fi nd ways to support those other centers,” she said. “Some [Arab] students have
ma. One of these students is Andrew Shone, sophomore in engineering, who started working on HIDRA as a freshman. “The more I work on it, the more I learn,” Shone said. “It’s a really good opportunity for me to get hands-on experience with an actual fusion device.” This is an incredibly rare experience. The University is one of only four schools, the others being Auburn, Wisconsin and Columbia, that let undergraduates work on a fusion device. “It’s a lot of little work, but someone’s got to do it,” Shone said. There’s still a long way to go until fusion can be a viable energy source. A running joke with the nuclear community is that fusion is 30 years away, and has been since the 1970s, Ruzic said. Nevertheless, he believes that there’s been considerable progress in the field. “We can make a fusion powerplant making electricity today,” he said. “Economic fusion is some number of years away. But 30 years ago I could not make the statement I just did; we could not guarantee you that, if you give me enough money, I’ll make you a powerplant that would make fusion electricity. Today we can. That’s enormous progress, and we know how to do it. Now the question is, can we find ways to do it that make it smaller, cheaper and therefore economic?”

In addition, the union will have a strike fund available, supported by affiliations and donations, to help members whose salaries were affected by the strike.

University needs to offer more mental health resources CASSANDRA MASTERS Opinions columnist
T
housands of students suffer from mental illnesses here at the University, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and extreme self-esteem issues. Awareness of the prevalence of mental illness, however, seems to fall behind the needs of the student body. Mental health is crucial for anyone, but it is of utmost importance to young adults. Not only are they caught in the middle between adolescence and adulthood, and expected to consider their future goals, but they must also deal with the many day-to-day stresses of a college schedule. There is an overall lack of empathy for those struggling to keep up with these stresses, as well as those who have developed more severe mental health issues, such as prolonged depression and anxiety. Both a lack of awareness and lack of resources has led to a lack of mental health empathy, causing further isolation of these particularly stressed students. Professors lack lenient attendance and due date policies. Greek organizations and RSOs hold intense commitment standards. Faculty members emphasize a student’s worth based on GPA or future career goals, as opposed to self-development. Students face pressure from their own peers, parents and professors, and can barely keep up with those demands, let alone their own standards. DRES, the Disability Resources and Educational Services Program on campus, works to assure those with both physical and mental disabilities are given an equal education. DRES, however, seems to be less accommodating to shortterm issues, and lacks clarity on the particular issues they can assist with. The initiatives taken by different resources on campus, such as the Counseling Center, Women’s Resource Center, DRES, etc. have not carried on through the voices of students, creating a challenging dynamic that reinforces the many stigmas revolving around mental illness. Although the Counseling Center receives great amounts of funding and support, they are unable to accommodate for all students, all the time. Students are only allowed 12 appointments during their entire University careers— any prolonged issues must be addressed through external services, which are often not paid for by health insurance. On top of that, the process for setting up a consultation and appointment can be lengthy. You must make an appointment on the day of your visit, but most spots are filled within the first few hours after the center opens. I once had to wait
nearly two weeks to see a counselor, at which point I had already sought external resources to cope with the immediate issues. I could have accessed the emergency services from the center, but those resources seem to be limited for cases of suicide, sexual assault and other immediate threats. I felt guilty taking up those resources from people more in need, but still thought my issues demanded more immediate attention. This problem, however, is not solely an issue at the University. The roots of this issue extend far beyond any one person or group, and must be analyzed at a broader social perspective. Our society pressures people to hide mental health issues, as if they are forbidden or taboo. Intensive depression and anxiety-related issues, some believe, can simply be “solved” with an attitude adjustment. Meanwhile, we are quick to run to the doctor for any physical ailment, and rely on modern medicine for other physical illnesses. Are our minds of less value simply because their problems are more complex than a broken arm? These stigmas relating to mental health consequently lead to both a lack of fiscal and social investment in helping those with mental health issues. Funding for mental health institutions has been drastically cut, and funding for programs to assist people in need have diminished. Some of Gov. Rauner’s proposed budget cuts for the 2016 fiscal year include drastic cuts to the Division of Mental Health within Illinois’ Department of Human Services: $82 million will be cut, which is a 15 percent reduction. Too many people, no matter what stage in their lives, struggle with unhealthy amounts of stress on a regular basis, and we continuously shame them for not working hard enough, not caring enough or not “pulling themselves up by their bootstraps” enough. If students were to be more open regarding these struggles that so many of us face, perhaps we could provide more impactful assistance to others. How can the University continue to produce such great scholars, researchers and innovators if they can barely provide us with the resources needed to keep students mentally healthy? We must hold our peers, professors and the University as a whole accountable — there should be a surplus of resources available on campus for students with mental health issues. As students, we must begin to value our minds and self-worth over our GPA, and we must demand the attention mental health desperately needs in our collegiate environment.

Students enjoy the spring weather on the Main Quad on Sunday.
This spring’s hottest trend: staying hydrated LEAH PEARLMAN Opinions columnist
S
pring has finally sprung; the sun is out which means so are University students. Finally escaping the confines of your small dorm room, you may find yourself spending hours outside without much of a break. And when you are enjoying the new weather, you may forget to take certain precautions. I am talking about hydration. That’s right, fellow students; you expected a column about sun tan lotion, didn’t you? Although I do suggest protecting your skin from the sun, my column this week is about something that most people forget to remind themselves about. Most people drink water simply with meals or when they feel thirsty. On average, this is an adequate enough way to get your water intake for the day. Because your food actually has water in it as well, you can get enough to survive. Perhaps the simplest way to ensure you are staying properly hydrated is an old American pastime: urine analysis. A good tip to go by is to make sure you urinate every 2-4 hours and that when you do, the color is clear or light yellow. This is a sign of a hydrated body; however, when it is hot or humid outside, it can make you sweat more. This requires an additional intake of fluid that most do not account for. Exercise blunts the thirst mechanism, meaning that students out on the Quad throwing a frisbee around for an hour may not feel thirsty, when in fact they need water. It is easy to prevent this dehydration by simply hydrating more frequently. I know a lot of people that buy Nalgenes or Camelbaks and carry them to each class. This is a really good way to make sure you always have water on you and stay hydrated in the hot
temperatures. “I drink a lot of water because if I don’t I get a headache,” said Kerr Oliva, senior in Engineering. “I have a Camelbak and I bought it two years ago because my roommate had the same one. I use it everyday.” Trust me, you don’t want to wait until you actually feel the symptoms of dehydration. They include headaches and cramping, and these signs only show late into the dehydration process because the body is actually very good at hiding it for a while. There is more to the spring season here at the University than just warm weather. Spring invites “darty” season to our Champaign-Urbana campus as well. With these day parties comes day drinking. Excess alcohol consumption can cause dehydration, and it is worse when consumed under the hot sun. The alcohol causes you to urinate and perspire more than normal. Together these symptoms cause worse dehydration, which is harsh on your body. If you are going to participate in the day parties that are spread across this University, stay under porches or inside, and make sure to follow each alcoholic drink with a bit of water. Nothing kills a fun day like feeling terrible and dehydrated. Plus, severe dehydration can kill you. Binge drinking in the sun could lead to a heat stroke, which occurs when your body lacks fluids because of the alcohol and then can’t sweat to cool itself down. In this case, you would need severe medical attention. Can everyone think of a simple solution that could make these issues disappear? Let’s say it together… water! So whether you are walking to class under the sun, or day drinking with your friends, keep the H20 flowing, and you’ll have a much better spring season.

enior Akram Almasri has gathered a group of 25 students over the past year to push for the construction of an Arab-American Cultural House on campus. His group contacted the administration, as well as other religious groups on campus, but received pushback from Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson. The current campus climate doesn’t paint the University as inclusive. From chalking campus sidewalks with hateful messages to parties with questionable themes, minority students might begin to question their places on campus. Whether or not the harm caused by these actions was intention-
EDITORIAL
Cultural center addition could increase inclusivity al, students should not feel unwelcome. A potential cultural center would provide a safe haven for ArabAmerican students, as well as serve as a place for students to learn more about their culture. Many Arab-Americans practice Islam, a religion which has been at the forefront of political controversy for nearly two decades. Misconceptions about the religion could be dispelled by a new cultural center. University administrators already have plenty of major decisions to handle. The new College of Medicine is still in development, the search for a replacement chancellor is ongoing, the looming strike from the non-tenure faculty coali-
tion is likely to occur this week and, yes, somehow there is still no state budget. All of these issues are a lot to handle, but the University should not lose sight of one of its most important tasks: ensuring that our campus remains fully inclusive. The construction of a new cultural center holds few downsides for the University. While the cost would certainly not be insignificant, the benefit of educating students about a large portion of the global population outweighs the price tag. Merely initiating discussions to create a cultural center down the line would appease Almasri’s group and cost the University little money.
The new center could also encourage Arab-American students to come to the University. ArabAmericans who see that our campus provides a cultural center for them will feel encouraged to come to a school where they can feel safe about their race and ethnicity. Though creating a new cultural center doesn’t happen overnight, it would be a relatively small, but important, improvement the University could make as the administration tackles its other major challenges. It will help the University’s image, but more importantly, this new cultural house would be a place for some students to feel at home, and others to learn about another culture for years to come.

Illinois Modern Ensemble perform at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, April 14.
Students showcase compositions in annual ‘Illinois Modern Ensemble’ BY SAMIHA UDDIN STAFF WRITER
After rehearsing for only a month, the School of Music performed its annual “Illinois Modern Ensemble” concert Thursday, April 14. The concert showcased four compositions, each composed by a different student. “Contemporary music is just as abstract as contemporary art,” said Carlos Carrillo, assistant professor of composition theory, who conducted and directed the ensemble. “When you approach this form of art, the questions ‘What is this supposed to be?’ ‘What is going on?’ come in your mind, and that’s what happens when you listen to contemporary music — you attempt to analyze, decipher and understand the meaning behind the music.” One of the concert’s pieces was
an inexplicable one— it sounded mysterious, and all the while felt as if you were walking in an enchanted forest that also happened to be haunted. “Evening Prayers” was written by student Timothy Sapp, who is currently pursuing a master’s degree in music composition. Sapp said the piece seeks to depict a “ritualistic appeal to the divine and the channels,” where such an appeal would have to go through to actually be heard by its intended audience. “ Eveni ng P rayers” was inspired by Russian liturgical music, and it felt like living in a certain era was required in order to understand the piece. Another piece, “Skull’s Gene,” was composed by Zhaoyu Zhangmk, who is pursuing his doctorate in music composition. Zhang, who has written several pieces before, said he still
Hailing from Lyon, France, Bâton Rouge established themselves as one of the most promising young French-language rock bands with their innovative second release, “Totem.” While the band called it quits this past November, “Totem” still remains a true hidden gem on Bandcamp. It’s particularly encouraging to find a groundbreaking young band singing in their native French as Bâton Rouge does. While many up-andcoming French rock bands opt to sing in English, young, innovative bands like Bâton Rouge make it clear that the French language still has its place in the world of punk. “Totem” fuses the exposed, still-beating heart of emo, the rough and heavy stylings of punk and post-hardcore and the sprawling, boundary-pushing nature of noise to create something wholly new and
feels the excitement when seeing his work being performed on stage. Inspired by a Japanese novel, “Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World,” the work attempts to demonstrate the “uncertainty and fear of the protagonist.” The performance fi nished with a loud bang at the end, which was an attempt to symbolize an indefi nite answer exists — both for the piece and in the story. Withall four pieces possessing very unique meanings, being at the concert was truly required in order to get a sense of what each piece was attempting to imply. With varying degrees of all different genres, the “Illinois Modern Ensemble” concert was truly one of a kind. Rating: 8.5/10

innovative. Perhaps it’s too soon to deem them saviors to Francophone rock, but Bâton Rouge is certainly a breath of fresh air worthy of attention in their home country and beyond. “Côte du Py” and “Cours Tolstoï” are two early standouts on the album – reminiscent of their previous release “Fragments D’Eux-Mêmes,” they make use of raspy, passionate vocals and spacey guitar work. “Train de Nuit” is clearly rooted in the band’s noise influences. Lasting over seven minutes, the first half of the song is a careful, instrumental build that borders on the psychedelic. The band builds and builds, bringing the track closer to its loud peak with the reintroduction of vocals halfway through. This moment doesn’t last long, though, and “Train de Nuit” soon winds down to a calm close with little fanfare. On “Totem,” Bâton Rouge pushes their boundaries and explores their sound without losing themselves. Bâton Rouge found a truly unique sound for themselves – one that is deeply layered and meticulously crafted, blending the melodic with the abrasive to create a deeply personal and emotional record that doesn’t quite fit in any one box.

picture hangs on the fi rst fl oor staircase of the Sigma Phi Delta fraternity. In this picture, a man stands with long, blonde hair touching his shoulders, wearing a red hockey jersey that has the fraternity’s letters sewn across his chest. The frame is a constant reminder to the brothers of Sigma Phi Delta of the great service that the photo's subject, Jim Callahan, provided for them during the past three decades. Callahan started working as a chef for the fraternity in 1986 and has since grown to become an integral part of the house. Earlier this semester, he announced his plans to retire in 2017, but things have since changed. Callahan recently expedited his original plan for retirement because of his ongoing battle with lung cancer. He battled complications with cancer in recent years, but the brothers of the fraternity have only now become aware about the severity of his medical state. He spoke with the fraternity's president a nd ju nior i n Engineering, Carl Remler, about his heightened condition before telling the rest of the house. "Before I got to how I’m going to deal with this as a president or as a member of the fraternity, it was just like, ‘Oh, man, this a friend of mine, and this is going to really suck,'" Remler said. "My heart went out to him instantly." Brody Schofield, pledge master of Sigma Phi Delta and junior in Engineering, was excited about graduating from the University at the same time that Callahan originally planned to retire. He felt it would be fun to leave school with Callahan, but now realizes that it’s no longer possible. "When he announced that he had been diagnosed, it was just a shock. I didn’t really know what to say at that time. I was just blown away," Schofield said.
'This man who has been around for my entire college career, and years back, and all of a sudden he’s just not going to be here anymore was a huge shock to me. It was really tough." Callahan has made an impact on hundreds of members that have passed through the fraternity over the 30 years he has spent there. Callahan’s wife started a gofundme.org campaign to help raise money for his treatment. The original goal was to raise around $700, but with the help of the Sigma Phi Delta alumni, the Callahans raised almost $5,000. Callahan isn’t a "father figure"
for many of the members of the house, but is instead just "one of the guys." In 1996, Callahan went through the rituals and ceremonies of the fraternity to become an honorary brother. "I would like him to be remembered as ... less of a father fi gure and more of a brother," Remler said. " People go through this fraternity in four years, and it will have an awesome impact on them. He had the luxury of prolonging that for a few decades, and I think as a result, he was a
more of a brother than any of us can ever argue that we are." One of Schofi eld's favorite memories of Callahan was his banter with the brothers of the fraternity, particularly when Schofield and his paternal brother would race each other down to the kitchen for meals. "If you were the second Schofi eld down, he would just immediately tell you, "Oh, you can’t have anything. Your brother has already been here,'" Schofield said. "Every day for a year, he would tell us this, but the joke never got old. I think that’s one of the things that just defi nes who Jim is because somehow that joke never got old." Andy Hill, alumni president of Sigma Phi Delta, lived in the house the year Callahan was hired. For Hill, Callahan was a large step up from the fraternity's previous chef because his cooking was much better, he was a huge Illini fan and he showed much more interest in the fraternity. "He said he could cook a hog for Homecoming one time, and he brought in a rotisserie and cooked a hog on our lawn," Hill said. "None of us knew that he could do that, and it turned out super great, too. I can’t believe we only did it once." Many of the members most admired Callahan's ability to connect with the brothers. The chef listened whenever someone wanted to talk and always found a joke to say to ease the moment. "It’s a good way to just distract yourself from all of the stresses of engineering and any related coursework," Schofield said. "Coming downstairs is almost like a safe space, where you don’t need to worry about classes. You can just come downstairs and say whatever you want, and Jim just rolls with whatever you’re saying." Sigma Phi Delta has decided not to hire another chef. Instead, Hendrick House will cater for the fraternity. "I’m glad (the house isn't hiring a new chef) because having

Portrait of Jim Callahan. another chef would just be so weird," Schofield said. "I’m glad we’re not replacing him because he’s really that one person that you can’t fi nd another of." The house doesn't feel the same for many of the brothers. Most of them feel as if they've lost their connection to the past and the off-campus world with Callahan's departure. With Callahan’s advanced medical condition, the brothers of Sigma Phi Delta want to do everything to ensure Callahan
knows his work was appreciated. Callahan's service has been something special for those in the house. Many of the brothers, like Remler, have just now come to appreciate everything that he meant to their lives. "I would hope that he is remembered as one of the best, if not the best, brother we’ve ever had, and I hope that he is never forgotten."

A fresh start for Lovie’s boys
Young quarterback impresses Illini crowd at open practice BY JOEY FIGEUROA STAFF WRITER
PETER BAILEY-WELLS Senior columnist
A
lmost everything about Illinois football’s Saturday spring practice was
new. Happy Illini fans swarmed Lovie Smith, other coaches and players after the open practice. The Tim Beckmanshaped shadow that loomed large over Memorial Stadium faded into 250,000 pieces earlier this week and even the absence of Mike Dudek didn’t seem to damper the mood on a sun-soaked Champaign day. The only remnant of the past was the 0-0 Illinois-Ohio State score on the Memorial Stadium scoreboard — though the Illini lost 28-3 to the Buckeyes on Nov. 14. Other than that, the stadium felt different and this football program seems like it’s received a fresh coat of paint. Sure, an open practice is relatively boring in terms of on-the-field action, but with the first public unveiling of Lovie’s squad came a wave of positivity. This team might not win more than five games, but Lovie has already produced more goodwill in the first two months of his new job than Tim Beckman accrued over his entire career in Champaign. And it’s worth noting that Bill Cubit was the first Illinois head coach in 23 years, since Lou Tepper,to start his career with more than two wins. Lovie has continued Josh Whitman’s “We will win” mantra, but honestly, Lovie doesn’t have to have a high bar for his first year. If he wins a bowl game, he’ll be the first Illinois coach to do so in his first season. This isn’t Michigan. Those players flying around the field during the open practice Saturday weren’t fivestar recruits. Lovie has taken control of a team in transition. His team is moving from the spread offense to a pro-style offense and from the 4-2-5 to the Tampa 2. But it’s still very fun in Champaign now. The Illinois football program seemed like it has finally turned the corner on what has been a tumultuous year. Even the Camp Rantoul tradition — the Illini have spent a portion of training camp there in 17 of the last 18 years — was stopped this week. It’s worth mentioning that a few Illini stood out during Saturday’s practice. Wes Lunt and the starters didn’t run a lot of plays, and instead let the backups step up and show their stuff. Jeff George Jr. was the top star of the day, showing off his big-time arm on touchdown passes to Kendrick Foster and Andrew Davis. Chris James had a pair of interceptions in the 7-on-7 session, and Darwyn Kelly and Taylor Barton had picks in the full-team period. This team has 20 weeks left before it faces Murray State, and Saturday was a good representation of the new positivity that the Illini will bring into the 2016 season and beyond. It was a good day. It was a sunny day. It was a music-pumpingthrough-the-stadium day and above all, it was a new day.

Lovie brings new energy to Memorial Stadium

Former defensive tackle for the Illini
“This is my second year coming back for the practice. I will come to a couple games this year. (Lovie taking over) is beautiful. It is a great thing for the program and it actually puts Illinois in the national spotlight. All the 4-star and 5-star recruits will give Illinois strong consideration versus before not even wanting to talk to them. I think that is going to be vital to the success to the program. We have excitement about football here again. When I came during Ron Turner’s first year, people were excited because he came from the Bears. But with Lovie, he is such a dominant name that he is making not only alumni, but people who are just interested in football interested in what is going to happen with Illinois football. I think that we have a good chance, especially coming out of the West, of competing in the Big Ten. I am really excited about the Michigan State game, my fiancée is a Michigan State fan, so I can’t wait for the Michigan State game. That will be a big stepping stone for us, but it will be a good barometer to see where we are at as a program.”

"I am seeing a lot of positives today. The quarterbacks and the running backs are looking really good. I am impressed so far. I am a season ticket holder, I come every year. It seems like there is a lot more energy on the field today, they are more into it than they have been in the past. The size of the crowd for a practice is pretty good. There is more people here today than there are for the spring game normally. I think there is a lot of interest here today. When you have top-notch coaches and top-notch assistant coaches you are going to get this kind of thing."
"I like the atmosphere. It is spring. Illinois football is buzzing. It’s pretty exciting. We have a lot of students out here just to come watch an open practice. It isn’t even a game, it’s just a practice and there are a lot of people that are excited. I have been to the spring game each year, but this is the first year I am at a spring practice. Like I said, though, the excitement is still here and everyone is exciting. The format has definitely not hurt the crowd."

Besides his musical tastes, new Illinois football head coach Lovie Smith has remained generally tightlipped on what has impressed him thus far during spring practices. “The only thing that normally gets my attention is R&B music,” Smith said with a grin. Following Saturday’s opento-the-public spring practice, Smith refused to provide many takeaways from the two hours of full-contact simulated game action. Just about every player saw some time on the field, and the offense ran through dozens of plays led by each quarterback on the depth chart. After the action, Smith and the rest of the coaching staff were excited to get a look at the tape. Smith has taken an NFL approach to sharing his thoughts on position battles and how the depth chart may be shaping out. “I hate to even say anything before watching video,” Smith said. Even without a look at practice film, one Illini stood out on Saturday. Backup quarterback Jeff George Jr. made the most of his time leading the offense in front of the thousands of fans who piled into Memorial Stadium on the beautiful, sunny afternoon. Son of former Illini great and No. 1 overall Indianapolis Colts pick, Jeff George Sr., the redshirt freshman lived up to his namesake by flinging on-the-money passes all over the field. Possibly the most impressive play of the day was George Jr.’s perfect over-the-shoulder toss to 5-foot-9 running back Kendrick Foster on a wheel route to the end zone. Showing his competitive spirit, offensive coordinator Garrick McGee said he drew that play up in response to the defense’s constant press man coverage. The defense made a handful of big plays early on, including a pick-six on a shaky pass thrown by Wes Lunt. George Jr. made all the big plays when he stepped on the field, and even said he lost count of how many touchdowns he threw by the end of practice. With the backup quarterback spot still uncertain, George Jr. certainly threw his hat into the ring with his showing on Saturday. “It’s definitely an intense competition, but at the end of the day, we’re all friends and teammates,” George Jr. said. “So if I do well, it just pushes the others. We all push each other.” Tight end Andrew Davis also roused some excitement from the crowd. The 6-foot-6 senior inserted himself as a downfield presence and made some impressive leaping grabs that drew cheers from the fans. With the loss of wide receiver Mike Dudek to another seasonending ACL tear, McGee said he wanted to see more receiving contributions from other offensive positions. “We wanted to emphasize the tight ends and the running backs in the passing game,” McGee said. “Everybody throws to the receivers, but we really want our tight ends to make plays.” Following the live scrimmage, fans got the opportunity to go out onto the field for autographs and photos with players and fans. The fans’ main target was Smith, who was surrounded by a mob of hundreds for nearly an hour after practice. Smith has taken all the excitement in stride. “This is what I kind of expected,” Smith said. “A ton of excitement and a lot of energy on a college campus and that's what I've seen. They’ve been outstanding.”

MEN’S GYMNASTICS
Ngai youngest national champion in NCAA history, Illini finish fourth BY JAMES BOYD STAFF WRITER
For Illinois men's gymnastics team, the highlight of the NCAA national championships came at the midway point of competition. Sophomore Brandon Ngai captured the NCAA pommel horse title with a score of 15.450. This is the sixth straight
season that the Illini have had an individual take home an event crown, and Ngai is believed to be the youngest NCAA champion — across all sports — in history. “I was so close to getting that Big Ten title, but I messed up on the dismount,” Ngai said. “I knew that I could come back in two weeks and fix that. So, I’m just glad that I went out and finished
the season at my maximum potential.” Although Ngai brought home an individual title, the team didn't fair as well. Before this past weekend, the Illinois men’s gymnastics team trailed Penn State by two for the most NCAA titles of all-time. Neither the Illini nor the Nittany Lions would walk away with the top crown.
Instead, last year’s champion, Oklahoma, would earn its second straight national title — tying Illinois for the second most all-time championships. The Sooners dominated the competition with a score of 443.400 en route to a secondconsecutive undefeated season. Stanford and Ohio State rounded out the top three, while Illinois managed to
finish fourth with a score of 432.050 after competing well enough in the preliminaries to secure a spot in the team finals. “We're a team that went through a lot,” head coach Justin Spring said. “After losing (former All-American and senior) Joey Peters, and having other injuries to some of our best guys throughout the years, I think
we definitely exceeded our expectations.” Last year, the Illini failed to make the team finals for the first time in 13 seasons after a lackluster performance during day one of the NCAA Championships. This year, Spring said that he didn’t want his team to overcompensate for last

year’s disappointing end. Spring said they wouldn’t have to worry about advancing to the team finals on Saturday if they performed to their level of training on Friday. “I think it ended up not being nearly as close as we thought it would,” head coach Justin Spring said. “It was a really strong (preliminary) field and at the end of our meet, we looked up and we were about 10 points ahead of (Iowa). And we were like ‘Oh, we nailed this. We got it easy.’”
Satisfied with how his team performed in the preliminary rounds, Spring said that the confidence and momentum his team gained definitely carried over to its last day of competition. Illinois began its evening on high bar and after three stuck dismounts from freshman Ross Thompson, senior Max Mayr and freshman Alex Diab (who scored a team high 14.900), Spring’s squad was off to a hot start. Sophomore Tyson Bull also had a solid outing on the apparatus, scoring a 14.800 and earning All-American honors in the event alongside Diab.
Ngai was also named an All-American in the event, and after scoring a 15.200, senior Logan Bradley accompanied Ngai in his AllAmerican status, earning the honor for the third and final time of his career. After posting a 73.200 — the team’s highest score in an event all day — Illinois never was able to build on its momentum. The team would head into the final rotation of the day in second place behind Oklahoma, but strong finishes from runner-up Stanford and Big Ten Champion Ohio State proved to be too much for Illinois. In the last event of
his career, Bradley was disappointed that he and his fellow seniors Mayr and Fred Hartville wouldn’t end their careers with an NCAA title, but said that he was content with the fourth-place finish and the way his team battled throughout his final season. “Once I finished that pommel horse routine, I was just relieved,” Bradley said. “I’m lucky to be able to do what I did, and it’s no doubt that I’ll be following the Illini for the rest of my life. I know that we’re going to get a national championship very soon.”

Freshman LeDuc finishes impressive Rugby takes third in Indiana season with nationals appearance BY TYLER FEDAK
Team finishes season with Ohio State loss BY EDWIN HSIEH STAFF WRITER
Injuries were a big factor in the play of Illinois Men's Rugby team this season. Despite the plentiful injuries, the players who stepped up propelled the team to a solid season and the sevens team ended the year by taking third place at the Big Ten tournament in Elkhart, Indiana. The Illini beat Purdue, lost to Michigan and then beat Iowa in pool play to advance to the semifinals. In the semifinals, they lost to Wisconsin 41-5, setting Illinois up for a matchup with rival Ohio State in the third place match. The Illini started slow, but after rallying back were able to erase a 10-point halftime deficit, and complete the comeback win against the Buckeyes. Captain Mario Lozano said that the team had a couple bad breaks, but he thought the team played better than Ohio State. Senior Danny Lyons said that a huge factor in the win was that that the offense kept on attacking against a strong Ohio State defense. Because of this, the Buckeye defense showed signs of fatigue in the last stretch of the game and the Illini were able to capitalize. Senior Martin Gannett led the Illini in tries with five on the weekend. Due to the amount of injuries on the team, freshman Joey Lincoln and senior Matthew Joseph Kopala both played every minute of the tournament. “They really stepped up when a lot of us were struggling with injuries,” Lozano said. “It made a big difference for us.” Lozano, who had been dealing with a nagging leg injury, was able to play

through it. The team was able to play as a solid unit, minimize mistakes, and stay positive throughout the whole tournament. “Our players were able to handle adversity in great ways and I think this third place finish will give them confidence looking into next season,” Lozano said. Reflecting on the season, the Illini didn’t accomplish the team’s ultimate goal of winning the Big Ten tournament. However, given the amount of injuries on the team, Lozano and Club President Rich Daniels are proud of the team’s effort. “Taking third place in a conference that consists of teams that get university funding, free facilities, and a whole staff of coaches and managers while we get none of that is something that shows our dedication we put into the game,” Daniels said. Daniels envisions that the University will come around and consider rugby to be “the next up-andcoming sport," because it makes a big difference when a u niversity can provide financial assistance and full-time professional coaches. “It is a sport we have historically striven in, as opposed to our failed, over priced ath letics programs like football,” Daniels said. “Once (the team gets more funding), I know we will be an elite rugby team on the national stage.” The focus for the Illini will now be set on rugby 15s, the format they will be competing in next fall. “We look to gain some solid new recruits and improve the players that we will be retaining,” Daniels said. “I'd like us to finish in the top three as well as be nationally ranked by the end of next fall.”

Illinois freshman gymnast Lizzy LeDuc closed her rookie season with a national championship appearance. LeDuc earned her spot at the NCAA national championships a few weeks back when the Illinois women’s gymnastics team competed in the Salt Lake City regional. The team didn’t advance, but LeDuc’s career-high 9.950 floor routine guaranteed her an individual spot at the NCAA national
championships. Nationals were held this weekend at the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. LeDuc, a Dallas native, competed in her home state for the first time of her college gymnastics career. In the third rotation of the session, LeDuc performed her floor routine on the national stage. The Illini freshman ended up scoring a 9.6375, counting a major deduction from stepping out of bounds during her routine.
Although LeDuc didn’t qualify to go on into the second day of competition, she was excited that she got to experience college gymnastics at its biggest moment. “It was such an amazing opportunity to represent my team here at NCAA nationals,” LeDuc said. “I learned a lot from this experience and am excited to get back into the gym to start preparing for next season.” As the season ends, the Illini will lose seniors Giana O’Connor, Heather Foley
and Sunny Kato. Head coach Kim Landrus thinks that LeDuc's experience will help build her skills going forward. “I’m so proud of Lizzy, as she went out and competed her heart out for her teammates and Illinois gymnastics,” Landrus said. “I’m confident this experience will help her build off her accomplishments from this year and motivate her even more for the next three years.”

Buckeyes end Illini seven-match winning streak on road BY TIM GRIFFIN STAFF WRITER
JUSTIN WOLFE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois Louise Kwong follows through after hitting the ball during the match against Nebraska at the Atkin’s Tennis Center on April 10.
The Illinois women’s tennis team hit the road this past weekend after a twoweek homestand at the Atkins Tennis Center. The Illini first traveled to Columbus, Ohio, on Friday to take on No. 5 Ohio State. The Buckeyes continued their strong play, downing the Illini, 7-0. Illinois bounced back though, when the team traveled to University Park, Pennsylvania, and beat Penn State in comeback fashion, 5-2. The Illini are now 13-7 overall and 7-2 in Big Ten play. They are fourth in the Big Ten standings behind Ohio State, Michigan and Northwestern. Each of those teams are undefeated in conference action. The Illini’s seven-match winning streak came to a close as the Buckeyes superb play was too much for Illinois. “Credit to Ohio State for outplaying us from start to finish,” Illinois head coach Evan Clark said. “There is a reason they are a top-five team in the country.” Ohio State jumped out with an earlier lead with their dominance in doubles play. Illinois’ No. 1 doubles duo Louise Kwong and Ines Vias were handed their first doubles loss in conference action. No. 7 ranked pairing Anna Sanford and Miho Kowase defeated Kwong and Vias 6-2. In singles, the Buckeyes had full control over the Illi-
ni. Sanford defeated junior captain Alexis Casati in straight sets. In No. 1 singles, Kwong lost to Francesca Di Lorenzo, who is ranked No. 3 in the country. The Illini did however bounce back with a victory over the Nittany Lions on Sunday. The Illini had one of their weaker weekends in doubles, losing only their fourth doubles tally of the spring to Penn State. “Not our best doubles performance today, but credit to Penn State for playing well and coming out with a lot of energy,” Clark said. “We will need to shore some things up in regards to doubles because, as always, that is an important point for us.” Kwong and Vias were able to grab their 22nd win of the season and go 8-1 in the Big Ten, but No. 2 and No. 3 pairings for the Illini weren’t able to come away with victories to give Illinois the point. But the Illini picked up their slack in singles play,
No. 48 Illinois vs. No. 5 Ohio State and No. 48 Illinois vs. Penn State
winning five out of the six matches. Freshman Jaclyn Switkes and Daniela Pedraza Novak gave the Illini a 2-1 lead as they both won in straight sets. Kwong, Vias and Madie Baillon also claimed victories to clinch the Illinois win. “I was really pleased and proud of the way our group bounced back in singles,” Clark said. “We won five out of six first sets and were really able to set the tone early.” Illinois will have themselves another busy weekend, as they host Michigan State on Friday, but will then travel to Ann Arbor to take on the Wolverines of Michigan on Sunday. “We still feel like our best tennis is ahead of us as we head into the last weekend of Big Ten play, the Big Ten tournament and hopefully beyond,” Clark said.

Different Illini bats contribute in three-game sweep BY COLE HENKE
Illinois 6, St. Louis 2
STAFF WRITER
Summary: Six different Illini recorded an RBI as they picked up their first three-game sweep of the season against St. Louis University. Key performer: Jason Goldstein picked off SLU’s Trent Leimkuehler at second base to end the seventh inning and get the Illini out of a jam. Up Next: Eastern Illinois in Matoon, Illinois, 6 p.m., Tuesday
Illinois baseball picked up its first three-game sweep of the season with its win over St. Louis University Sunday afternoon. The Illini (17-16) had two opportunities earlier in the season to pick up three-game sweeps — once against Florida Gulf Coast and once against Penn State but couldn’t capitalize either time. Head coach Dan Hartleb was happy his team finally got it done against the Billikens. “We have gone into Sunday a few different times before and we didn’t play very well,” Hartleb said. “The guys did a really good job making some adjustments and finding a way to win.” The Illini got out to an early lead, scoring two runs in the third inning, and anytime the Billikens tried to get back in the game, the Illini answered. Six different Illini recorded RBIs in Sunday’s game. Trent Hammond and second baseman Michael Hurwitz both knocked in runs for the Illini, keeping their respective hot streaks intact. Hurwitz extended his hitting streak to nine games. He has recorded 19 hits in his last nine games. The Illini also got offensive production from center fielder Doran Turchin, designated hitter Luke Shilling, left fielder Dan Rowbottom and right

Illinois’ Trent Hammond hits a single to center field scoring Pat MacInerney during game two of the series against St. Louis University at Illinois Field on Saturday. The Illini swept the Billikens this weekend with scores of 6-4, 3-1, and 6-2. fielder Jack Yalowitz. “If you look at all the teams that do have threats from top to bottom are the teams that are tough,” Hartleb said. “They are tough to pitch to. You don’t give the pitcher a break at all. We’re starting to be more productive from top to bottom.” The Illini got to the Billiken bullpen for the third
time Sunday – they scored two runs after starter Devin Mahoney left the game in the sixth inning. The Billiken bullpen gave up six runs over the weekend. The Illini offense wasn’t the only thing keeping St. Louis at bay. In the top of the seventh, Illini reliever Chuck Naso had St. Louis’ Trent Leimkuehler on second
with two outs. After a fastball from Naso, Goldstein popped up and picked Leimkeuhler off at second to get the Illini out of the inning. Hurwitz said that he called the play before Naso made the pitch. “It was (a called play),” Hurwitz said. “Basically it is between me and Walton who wants to cover the base

previous three starts, the right-hander had given up a combined 18 runs. The Illini are now above .500 for the first time since early March. They have won their last four, and after a mid-week road game against Eastern Illinois this week, return to Big Ten play against Ohio State. Hartleb said that he hopes the Illini are starting to hit their stride. “We are capable of winning every game," Hartleb said. "I told the guys, and I believe this, that we haven’t been on the field with a team that is better than us. We have been 26. with Jan 2009 Part B on the field teams that are as good as us. Hopefully we are starting to relax and gain some more confidence.”

MEN’S TENNIS
Illinois continues home dominance over weekend Team extends winning streak to nine matches at Atkins Center BY ALEX WALLNER STAFF WRITER
Atkins Tennis Center continues to be a tough venue for road teams. The No. 17 Illinois men’s tennis team is 10-2 at Atkins this season and continued to ride its momentum into its final home matchups of the season against Michigan State and No. 21 Michigan. On Friday, the Illini swept the Spartans to improve to 7-1 in the Big Ten and 16-7 overall.

victories. Childers had the top match of the day, as the junior clinched the final point of the day, giving the Illini a ninth-straight victory. Illinois head coach Brad Dancer smiled ear-to-ear and gave Childers a bear hug as the junior clinched a very important match. Michigan’s Northwestern loss Friday gave the Illini solo third-place honors, making the match Sunday significantly more important. The Wolverines were not an easy opponent, challenging the Illini in every match. “Michigan’s got a great team,” Dancer said. “They got great student-athletes and a tremendous coaching staff, so any time you go up against a team of that quality, you’re happy to come out with a win.” Overcome with emotion, Hiltzik said that he lost his focus during his match. Hiltzik said that he was happy with the team win but knew he could have focused better with his individual match in general. With Hiltzik’s career winding down, the one thing that he wants to be remembered for is not his play on the court, but for being someone that people can look up to. As Hiltzik was being announced with his parents after the match, the number of academic accolades he earned shattered the number of on-the-court accolades. As a coach, Dancer couldn’t be happier with their performances. “All the accomplishments we’ve had during their tenure is awesome, but more important, they are just incredible young men,” Dancer said. “They represent everything that we

Page said that it was an emotional feeling to be out on the courts for what might be the last time.
“I’ve had a lot of great times on these courts,” Page said. “Hopefully, we can be back here for regionals, but it’s crazy to think how fast the last four years have gone,” Page said. Regional sites are determined based on the top-16 teams at the end of the season. Right now, Illinois is ranked 17th in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association polls.

Wonderly leads Illini through wonderful weekend at home BY DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER
Through three consecutive starts, hurler Breanna Wonderly allowed only 12 hits, helping her team take two out of three games from the Purdue Boilermakers. Both wins bring Illinois
to 5-9 in conference play, giving the team its second series victory on the season against in-conference foes. The series started with a gem from Wonderly. The Illini took Game One 4-0, with Purdue notching only two hits and Wonderly

racking up six strikeouts. Senior Allie Bauch led the team with two RBIs, and the Illini opened the series with a dominant showing on both sides of the diamond. Head coach Tyra Perry credited her team's timely hitting and Wonderly’s strong pitching performance. “Purdue is a good team," Perry said. "(Purdue pitcher Lilly Fecho) is one of the top pitchers in our league. I was proud of the way our offense attacked the zone early in the game. It set the stage for our timely hits in the eighth inning. Breanna Wonderly was masterful in the circle.” Game Two was yet another two-hit complete game for Wonderly, but the offense couldn’t muster enough runs to win back-to-back games, falling to the Boilermakers 1-0. Illinois attempted a mini rally during the top of the seventh, after a hit-by-pitch and a double left juniors Nicole Evans and Ruby Rivera on second and third base, respectively. The Illini couldn’t capitalize when it counted, stranding both runners. Perry was disappointed that the hitting wasn't there when her team needed them but was optimistic that a series win was still on the table. "We needed timely hits, but they did not come," Perry said. The shutout set Illinois
