Students start Nepal relief effort BY CHARLOTTE COLLINS ASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITOR
University students with ties to Nepal are urging others to reach out and help with relief efforts after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the country on Saturday. As of press time, the Nepal Police reported a total of 5,530 deaths and 8,305 injured. The Nepali Student Association at the University, NeStA, has several fundraising events in the works to aid Nepal in their rescue and reconstruction efforts. After the students’ first day of fundraising, the asso-
ciation announced it raised $1,950 to aid earthquake relief efforts. Miglena Manandhar is a member of NeStA and a Ph.D. candidate at the University whose family and friends were directly affected by the disaster. She said her family members in Nepal are physically sound but “in a state of trauma� because of the earthquake, and they’ve been “spending their lives outside� since the earthquake struck their home. “It’s not just my family, but everyone in the capital is doing the same,� Manandhar said. “Also, in the vil-

Report shows increasing skills gap in Illinois for jobs BY DAVID STAGE STAFF WRITER
If current trends continue, Illinois will experience a skills gap, as not enough employers can find people who meet job qualifications, according to a report by ReadyNation, a business leader organization under the Council for a Strong America. According to the report, 69 percent of the 2.3 million estimated job openings in Illinois available between 2010 and 2020 will require
employees to have post-secondary education; however, only 62 percent of Illinois citizens are educated past high school. This gap means 150,000 jobs in Illinois will be filled by unqualified candidates, according to the report. Sean Noble, Illinois state director at ReadyNation, said the skills gap hurts businesses because then they need to train people, which costs

The commencement address at Memorial Stadium will mark the end at the University for nearly 11,700 seniors, dressed in blue gowns. Chords draped around their necks will range in colors, each marking a different organization. But for some, the color will mark honors societies that range from major-specified to campus-wide; however, their importance varies upon each perspective. There are over 50 honors societies recognized by the University,according to the University’s academics page, and membership for the “prestigious� societies is normally decided during a student’s junior or senior year. Jennifer Neef, associate director for the Career Center said honors societies are not always as valuable to one student as they are to another. She said an active society

The promise of a career can often ease the burden of student debt many young graduates feel. However, student debt can actually keep students from working in their chosen career. Currently, licensing agencies can revoke professional licenses from students who default on student loan debt. To protect recent graduates, State Sen. Scott Bennett, D-Champaign, introduced Senate Bill 454 to prevent professional licensing boards from revoking an occupational or professional license because of student loan default. A loan is considered defaulted when a borrower fails to meet the terms of the loan and pay the loan on schedule. Bennett said student debt is the number one consumer debt in the United States. “We recognize that people want to pay off their student debt,� Bennett said. “These are obviously motivated people that have gone to school and have gotten licenses so they can work.� A loan default can result in a series of consequences, including a negative credit
rating or withholding a student’s tax refund or part of earned wages. If a person is still behind on the payments, a company’s licensing board has the authority to revoke a professional license. Mitch Dickey, student body president, said licensing boards revoke professional licenses when borrowers default on student loans as a way to push people to repay the loan. “The problem with this, though, is that the professional certificate is a means of being able to pay off your loan, so if you lose your professional certifi cate because of the default because you weren’t able to make enough money, well guess what? Now you defi nitely aren’t going to make enough money if your certificate is taken away from you,� Dickey said. “It doesn’t make any sense.� He said he thinks Bennett’s initiative is beneficial and makes more sense than current regulations. Terry Horstman, spokesperson for the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, said in an email that

signed the pledge last week. His move could put mentor-turned-rival Jeb Bush in a difficult position in the brewing 2016 presidential race. It promises to be a flashpoint in the debates where candidates will compete for the support of passionate, engaged conservatives who universally despise taxes and swarm the voting booths in Republican primaries. While the pledge has
become a way for conservatives to polish their credentials, it is tricky for Republican presidents because it precludes raising net revenue even by closing tax deductions and loopholes. George W. Bush adopted the pledge ahead of the 2000 election but couldn’t quite adhere to it throughout his administration. George H.W. Bush famously promised “no new taxes� before signing a large tax increase into law.
The Taxpayer Protection Pledge reads: “I, pledge to the taxpayers of the (__district of the) state of ___ and to the American people that I will: ONE, oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rate for individuals and business; and TWO, oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates.�

Budget cuts could hurt bus system BY CAMILLE MURRAY STAFF WRITER
The Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District, or CUMTD, is facing budget cuts, and if enacted, will result in changes to local bus services. According to Bryan Smith, CUMTD chief operating officer, the transportation service could potentially see a 20 percent decrease in state funding. Currently, approximately $220 million is available for use in downstate Illinois, but a recent
proposal by Gov. Bruce Rauner could cut the number to $150 million. Smith said the proposed budget cut would ultimately result in a 69,000 hour reduction in CUMTD service, and 25,000 of those hours would come from bus services currently offered to University students. “This isn’t something where we’d just be able to trim expenses without cutting service,” he said. “We have two main sources of expense. The first is labor
and the second is the cost of running the buses down the road.” Last year alone, 103 CUMTD buses made 13 million passenger trips. If the budget cuts are approved, CUMTD may also have to make changes to current bus routes. At this point, however, Smith said the company is unsure of which routes will be affected. “You hate to try to start planning now for what’s going to be cut when you
don’t know what’s going to be cut,” he said. “You don’t know if it’s going to end up being the 20 percent cut that we’re told to expect or the governor proposed, or if there’s going to be some sort of compromise, or if we would be protected and there wouldn’t be any cuts.” The budget proposal will be discussed at a state legislative session scheduled for the end of May.

Former Illinois Gov. Dan Walker dies at 92 TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Former Illinois Gov. Dan Walker, who walked the length of the state en route to winning the 1972 election and served time in federal prison 15 years later, has died at age 92. Political columnist Bernard Schoenburg of The State Jour na l-Register reports:
Walker, who served in the state’s top job for a single term from 1973 to 1977, died early Wednesday at a veterans hospital in Chula Vista, Calif., according to his son, Will. He was 92. Will Walker, of Crystal Lake, said old age caught up to his father. “Ultimately, it was heart failure that got him,” the younger Walker, of Crystal Lake, told The State Journal-Register. Walker had lived in Rosarito Beach, Mexico, in retirement. A maverick Democratic candidate in 1972, Walker went up against Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley’s political machine and Daley’s preferred candidate — Lt. Gov. Paul Simon — and won an unexpected victory in the Democratic primary. But he incurred Daley’s wrath, and the party backed another Democrat, Michael J. Howlett, in 1976. Walker’s loss to Jim Thompson ushered in 26 years of Republican governors in Illinois.
While Walker often is included in Illinois’ inglorious history of former governors who have served time in federal

of borrowing money from the S&L, I borrowed money from a guy who owed the S&L money. So that was the bank fraud: $45,000.” In its obituary, the Chicago Tribune summed up Walker’s term: In his four years as governor, Walker tried in vain to fulfill the populist promises he had made on the campaign trail. But his confrontational politics and continued warring with Daley led to numerous defeats in the legislature and a general inability to get his major proposals passed into law. One major piece of legisla-
tion that Walker did manage to pass created the Regional Transportation Authority, which brought mass transportation in the Chicago metropolitan area under one umbrella for the first time. That legislation also marked one of the few times that Walker obtained the cooperation of Daley. Walker also signed the bill creating the state lottery (after opposing it in his campaign) and was credited with making major cuts in the state payroll, cracking down on welfare cheats and opening state jobs and contracts to minority group members.
the aforementioned persons have established a satisfactory repayment record as determined by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission or other appropriate governmental agency of this State.” Bennett’s bill is designed to help people pay off their debt by being able to keep their job. However, he said it does not mean people will be free of debt. Students will still be required to pay their loans. “All this does is say we recognize these have to be repaid,” Bennett said. “But you at least have to continue to be working if you’re going to be realistic about your chances of paying off the loan.”

what are the opportunities and options out there where they can align their professional aspirations with their skills and opportunities,” Neef said. The Career Center also helps students write resumes and prepare for interviews, she said. ReadyNation proposed fixing the problem by increasing funding for early childhood education and vocational training. Noble said the organization proposed a $50 million increase for early childhood education in programs like preschool, parent coaching and day care. He said these programs are meant to help develop soft skills and start children off on the right foot. Stephanie Smith, assistant professor in early childhood education, said early education programs help students who may not get the education that other children gain at home. “There is research that having a high-quality early childhood program can help children who might be entering schools a little behind to catch up,” Smith said. For example, poorer households may not be able to spend as much time with their children because of work, and day cares can help to eliminate this gap. These programs, he said, help children develop soft skills. “We teach children how to be creative, to investigate and to learn how to learn,” Smith said.
“The director can only borrow so much money from the S&L that he’s the director of, and I was up to my limit, so I could not borrow any more money from the S&L. So the argument is that I was doing indirectly that which I could not do directly,” Walker recounted in a 2007 oral history interview. “Instead

In Illinois, there is a 7 percent difference between the number of job openings that require postsecondary education and the number of qualified workers. This gives Illinois the largest skills gap in the Midwest, tied with Indiana and Kentucky. The national average is 5 percent. According to the report, many businesses reported an increased need in employees with soft skills such as communication, collaboration and critical thinking, Noble said. ReadyNation deals with legislative agendas from birth to 12th grade, Noble said, but proper college resources are necessary to create a proficient workforce. The University’s Career Center helps employers find qualified workers through organized career fairs, said Jennifer Neef, associate director of the Career Center. According to the Recruitment Benchmarks report, produced by the Career Center, 17,902 students used I-Link, the online job board run by the Career Center, during the 2013-2014 academic year. Additionally, 29,657 students participated in career fairs, and 4,007 employers had recruiting engagements at the University during that time. “We help students think through what are their interests, what are their skills and

Around 7:20 p.m. Tuesday, Anchorage police received calls from several witnesses that the men were attacking the young moose near a bike trail south of the chalet at Russian Jack Springs Park. The three men were seen by witnesses “jumping on the moose, kicking it and stabbing it with a large knife,” police wrote.

ers are very impressed by it,” Kuhl said. “But at the same time you do build this professional network.” Kuhl will graduate in May and has accepted a research and management position with the Clorox company. Although she said she doesn’t think Tau Beta Pi was the sole reason she was offered the job, she does believe it helped her credibility. Sivani Aluru, junior in LAS, is president of the Alpha Epsilon Delta/PreHealth Professional Society. Aluru said the goal of the organization is to help students get accepted into professional schools after they graduate while offering them additional academic opportunities. Members pay a $75 fee to join and access resources to help students develop their academic and professional careers. Additionally, Aluru said the society strives to provide underclassman with help and information they can’t find elsewhere. She said the opportunity to work with upperclassmen who have been in their shoes is beneficial too. “Sometimes younger students get intimidated,” she said. “We really try to get rid of the age barrier here. I can’t think of a single member who hasn’t done exceptional in this program.” However, Aluru said not every honors society is beneficial. During her freshman year she said she was involved in an honors society which asked for money but provided little to no benefits. Aluru said despite her involvement, the society is not listed on her resume because she views it as irrelevant. On the other hand, Aluru said Alpha Epsilon Delta has helped her throughout her time at the University, and she expects it will continue to help as she applies to medical school. “I decided to join this society because I thought it would give me the best advantage to get accepted to medical school,” Aluru said. “And that is the intent our majors have in joining.”
HONORS can be helpful to students as they help build skills desired in the working world. However, Neef said, societies that solely affirm what a student’s GPA is, while requesting money, might not be worth joining. Neef said students considering joining honors societies should ask critical questions about the society’s goals and whether the society has alumni and professional networks, which can have long-term benefits. Employers and graduate schools look at a broad scope of elements when considering whether to hire or accept a student, and solely being in an honors society will not be the ultimate decision, she said. However, having an honors society on a resume can’t hurt, said Mike Reilly, University alumnus and president of Cavan Capital, a money management and adjustment company. Reilly said when considering potential employees, involvement with a University honors society is impressive. “I would look at any activity, whether it’s an honors society, or any activity, as a positive show of the well roundedness of the (student),” Reilly said. He said students involved with different organizations aside from classes show personal development and leadership potential because they are typically more motivated. Sarah Kuhl, senior in LAS, is president of the University’s chapter of Tau Beta Pi, a national engineering honors society. She said she believes the benefits are worth the $95 initiation fee because the University’s chapter is active on campus as compared to a “mysterious honors society.” The greatest benefit to being a member is the opportunity to meet representatives from engineering companies who explicitly ask to meet with Tau Beta Pi members when they visit the University, Kuhl said. “It’s really great to have on your resume and employ-

Make honor societies more than resume fluff
A
fter fall semester is over, students are bombarded with a mass of emails inviting them to join campus honor societies, each of which boasts impressive credentials and opportunities and looks great on a resume. With over 50 independent honor societies at the University, students who meet certain criteria, such as year or grade-point-average, are asked to become part of several nationally recognized organizations. Among the prestigious national honor societies are Tau Beta Pi (Engineering), Beta Gamma Sigma (Business), Kappa Delta Pi (Education), Phi Beta Kappa (LAS) and Phi Kappa Phi (campus-wide). However, almost all of these societies also require a one time or yearly fee ranging from $25 to $100, and frequently, these honor societies are not worth the money they charge. Many honor societies claim to give opportunities in both leadership and community service, while others claim exclusivity that can separate you for employers and graduate schools. But regardless of these potential benefits, many students use these honor societies as a bullet point for their resumes to impress potential employers without putting in too much work. A high GPA can be boasted on a resume without the heading “Honor Society,� and this line is not something that necessarily needs to be shelled out for. Phi Eta Sigma, one of the freshman honor societies that charges $45 for its membership fee, asserts “your national membership fee pays for your academic pin and your membership certificate. It pays a portion of the expenses for a chapter delegate to attend the national convention and leadership workshops,� according to its website. Some of the esteemed honor societies that claim they are truly competitive seem to embellish their exclusivity. For example, the campus-wide national honor society Phi Kappa Phi accepts juniors who rank scholastically in the top 7.5 percent of their class or seniors that rank in the top 10 percent. With a campus of 17,527 juniors and seniors, the number of juniors and seniors who are eligible to be accepted total to around 1,550 students each year. As the honor society boasts its organization as the “most selective honor society for all academic disciplines�, this does not correlate with the number of students accepted each year. Instead of shell organizations that won’t offer many opportunities for student development, students should use discretion when deciding whether or not to join an honor society. They can provide more than just a title that might actually make the money worthwhile. Instead of looking for a resume builder, students should look for something that can actually help them grow.
College degrees not only option NICKI HALENZA Opinions columnist
J
ust over a week ago, business policy group ReadyNation released a report saying Illinois could be short 150,000 qualified workers in a variety of fields by the year 2020. ReadyNation says the number 150,000 comes from the fact that 69 percent of the 2.3 million job openings in Illinois require postsecondary education, but only 62 percent of Illinoisans have reached this level of education, creating a 7 percent gap — or 150,000 workers. Inevitably, this is a situation that brings a plethora of economic issues for the state of Illinois, such as making the state less competitive, and the apparent solution, according to Sean Noble, state director of ReadyNation, is putting more funds into early childhood education. However, seeing as this gap comes from a lack of people obtaining postsecondary education, the impending shortage of qualified workers lends way to the question of higher education’s role in the job market. An article in The Daily Illini today pointed to the University’s Career Center
as a beneficial resource to help employers find qualified workers. Being a University student, I can attest to the job-related advantages that a college education brings me, but I can also attest to the huge financial burden it brings to my family — and I’m certainly not the only student with that awareness. Considering the consistently high price of college tuition and fees, and the debt many students incur afterward, obtaining postsecondary education is by no means a reasonable option for everyone. Of course, this proves problematic when higher education becomes expected for most in-state jobs. But then there’s the whole disparity existing between the large number of jobs requiring a college degree and the high price of college that makes pursuing higher education impossible for some. While 61 percent of Illinoisans enroll in postsecondary education, only 37 percent persist through graduation, according to Advance Illinois. These Illinois jobs requir-
ing postsecondary education need to account for what is creating that 7 percent gap — those 150,000 unqualified workers who don’t receive this education. In terms of tuition, looking specifically at our own University, the cost of attending the Urbana and Chicago campuses climbed 71 percent over the past decade. It wasn’t until this year that the Board of Trustees froze tuition rates for in-state students, making this the first time in 20 years tuition rates will not increase — although student fees and room and board expenses will. The tuition freeze is a great first step to addressing higher education costs, but by no means the only step needed. Those of us who are fortunate enough to go here or to other colleges and universities know higher education is something to be valued as it provides an immense amount of help for jump-starting students’ careers. Those who attend college are able to learn a trade, have access to internships to help them in their desired trade and students have the
We can’t keep playing the “everyone should go to college� card.
opportunity to work with professors and other professionals in their field, but we have to remember that at this point in time, obtaining higher education is a privilege. OK, so long story short: There seems to be a vicious cycle of jobs wanting college degrees, people not being able to afford or not receiving a college education and therefore a lack of people to fill these roles. I realize my privilege in being able to even have the option to go to a university, and I would love to say that getting more people to attend college is the solution to all of our workforce-related problems. But with the dents postsecondary education puts in people’s pockets, we can’t keep playing the “everyone should go to college� card. I am no economist and I am no Olivia Pope crisis solver, so I can’t provide a bullet-proof solution to our state’s issue. What I can say, though, as a current college student who understands the importance of a higher education, the simultaneous drain it puts on a bank account and the stress of the job market, is that we need to find some way to address this discrepancy if we want to have more qualified workers.

O
nce upon a time, I attended a college in the far away land of north central Ohio, at a very small, isolated, private liberal arts college named Oberlin. For the most part, it is irrelevant to my life since I transferred here to the beautiful and esteemed University of Illinois. However, The Daily Illini’s Monday’s publication brought to the table some unexpected relevance with an article entitled “Select dorms to be gender-inclusive for fall 2015.� As the article’s title suggests, these new dorms will create an atmosphere that diverges from the traditional boys’ floor-girls’ floor setup that most University dorms follow. Oberlin, being notably progressive and granola-crunchy, happens to have had this idea of gender-inclusive housing under its belt for quite some time. At a larger and considerably more “mainstream� institution such as the University, I didn’t quite expect this
approach to student housing be implemented. With such a large student population, it’s sometimes hard for University policy and administration to help facilitate individual student needs on a personal basis. It seems easy to sometimes get the impression that students aren’t much more than a UIN. So this implemented policy change was a step in a much unexpected, but positive, direction, especially while making strides toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer inclusivity. Freshmen, as well as other underclassmen, make up the majority of students who choose to live in University housing, because on campus it is required that students live in student housing their first year. It can be a culture shock to come into contact with new people who might come from new backgrounds and have different values, while also having to make sure you eat and do your laundry on your own initiative. During this new period, it’s great to provide more options to make dorm-living the most comfortable experience for students embarking on a new — and, initially, scary — experience.
The University goes out of its way to provide the necessary means to assure students are informed and taken care of in an endless amount of other ways. They provide information regarding the Counseling Center, keep friendly Resident Assistants in each dorm and require students to take courses on alcohol consumption and assault prevention. And those are just the “important� issues. Then, students can make sure they’re extra comfortable by having the option of selecting a single room, a double, triple or quad room, air conditioning (for an added fee) or sweat, Urbana or Champaign, et cetera. A multitude of ways in which students can “personalize� their dorm experience to best suit their needs already exist to help ensure they can secure the most painless, enjoyable transition from home to college as possible. For some students who live outside the gender binary, the traditional form of housing (girls on the first floor, guys on the second, use your respective bathrooms) may be uncomfortable. It is a positive step that they receive this option when deciding where they should live.
According to Monday’s article, implementation of these dorms attempts to “address issues transgender students face by including gender-neutral bathrooms and residence halls.� I think it’s worth noting, too, that the gender-inclusive housing floors won’t just cater to students who live outside the gender binary. It also enforces the idea that segregating certain areas according to gender isn’t the only option. To be honest, there are situations in which I’ve found the concept of gender-separate bathrooms ridiculous. Particularly when I’m in a large public area, like Union Station or at a concert, and the line for the women’s restroom is ludicrously fifty times longer than that for men. I’m using a purposely frivolous example to convey a larger point; creating genderinclusive spaces within select University dorms not only aides students who identify outside the gender binary but also reinforces the idea that students of different genders can share a space and coexist together.

Teen birder’s passion takes flight in suburbs
NANCY STONE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
A ruby-crowned kinglet seen in an alley on April 12 in Oak Park, Illinois. BY JOAN CARY TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Early one morning last May, Henry Griffin was leading a group of bird enthusiasts through an alley near his Chicago suburban Oak Park home and heard a song that made him stop. It was from a Connecticut warbler, a notoriously shy bird with a reputation for being hard to find. Excited about seeing what he calls a “very, very uncommon bird,” Henry photographed the warbler and took a video to share with fellow birders, certain that someone who wasn’t with him that morning would doubt his word. Henry, who’ll turn 15 soon, has already birded in nine countries besides the U.S. and says he has 751 species on his “world life list” — the tally of species he’s seen. But his passion for birding started in his backyard, and he’s doing his best to spread the word that urban-area birding consists of more than spotting sparrows and cardinals. Since last year, Henry has been conducting bird walks for free during the spring and fall through his Oak Park neighborhood, making others aware of such species as the elusive Connecticut warbler. “You don’t have to go far to see wonderful birds. There’s so much to see right here,” he told 15 followers on a recent Sunday morning walk. Within a few blocks, he pointed out cardinals, yellowbellied sapsuckers, a rubycrowned kinglet and at least 10 more. He started advertising his guided Oak Park Bird Walks last March as a community service project for his Catholic confirmation. But he enjoyed them so much that even with a busy schedule of homework and rehearsals and performances with musical groups he’s involved with, he wanted to keep them up. Their purpose, he says, is to help foster a strong birding community in Oak Park. He hopes to build one as strong as the Evanston North Shore Bird Club, an active group that was founded in 1919. He wants “to build an appreciation for birds and nature in urban areas,” he said, and alert people to the need for native landscape. His walks begin in his front yard, where he greets visitors by name and with a handshake. He leads them through his backyard and then for 14 blocks through quiet alleys, away from traffic and close to where giant

RECYCLING Adriana Noboa, freshman in Engineering, said she uses the new recycling bins often. “I’m pretty sure people use them correctly,” she said. “It’s a pretty good service to have around.” The new bins are essentially a pilot project to see if these methods can be replicated throughout campus. After sorting the waste in the bins to see what materials were going in after they were installed, Bartels said they found that very little recyclable material was going into the landfill bins. “So knowing that contamination rates are low in the landfill bins, we may be able to change the process,” Bartels said. “Instead of sending those landfill bins to the Waste Transfer Station to be sorted, we can just send them directly to the landfill, and we can focus on collecting more recycling.” Bartels said this process — which starts with each person’s decision — would make it more efficient for both the consumer as well as the Waste Transfer Station employees.

oaks and elms support the bird population that explodes with colorful migrants heading north for the summer or south for winter. Henry chronicles details from each walk in a blog. He has scheduled six more walks on Sunday and Wednesday mornings during May and plans to host more in the fall. Ed McDevitt, executive director of Public Art Chicago, first learned of Henry’s walks through the Illinois Birders Exchanging Thoughts website, where birders share sightings. The first time McDevitt arrived at Henry’s home, he saw four people standing outside — two men, a woman and a boy. McDevitt remembers that he approached the four, assuming one of the men was Henry, but the boy stuck out his hand and greeted him by name. “Henry quickly proved himself to be a most knowl-

edgeable birder and an excellent guide on a walk,” McDevitt said in an email. “He has a remarkably acute and accurate eye for birds in flight, even at a substantial distance and without visual assistance. He is a friendly, outgoing, very giving young man who has it in his soul to share what he knows and can do — most unusual not only in a very young person, but in anyone.” Henry’s passion for birding began in February 2012 when a large bird flew into his backyard and he couldn’t identify it. His dad got him the I-Bird Pro app, and Henry learned the bird was a Cooper’s hawk. The raptor quickly moved on, but Henry was hooked. “I became almost fanatical about learning bird songs,” he said to the nod of his mother, Susan Warner, who added: “Some kids spend their free time on games and videos. My son is constantly researching birds.” But then it may only be natural that he birds by ear, first identifying them by the tor of campus waste management, said the new recycling bin project affects the Waste Transfer Station’s workflow. “It makes sorting a bit easier,” he said. Bartels said he hopes the contamination levels are so low that they don’t have to sort through any landfill bins, which would free up time at the Waste Transfer Station. “If that happens, we can

then justifiably expand the program because they will have more time. The labor cost of sorting materials will be lower,” Bartels said. “And because we’re getting a cleaner product, we can actually sell those cans and bottles that we’re collecting, so that money could actually go back into the program.” According to the iCAP
music they make and then by sight. The child of accomplished musicians, he began singing as a baby, his mother said. She plays clarinet for the Lyric Opera of Chicago and his father plays French horn for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Henry plays piano; sings in Voice of Chicago, the advanced group of the Chicago Children’s Choir; and plays classical trumpet, performing with the Wind Symphony at Oak Park and River Forest High School, where he attends school in the morning. He is home-schooled in the afternoon. He hopes for a career in opera. No one else in his immediate family is a birder, but he and his father enjoying hiking together, and most importantly, all of them are patient, he says, smiling. On family vacations, his parents “divide and conquer,” his mom said. One entertains his 7-year-old sister, Pearl, while the other gets Henry to his birding spots. Locally, he travels as independently as he can by bus, train and carpool to go birding. In July he will go to Costa Rica with a school group. He is already immersed in the schoolwork required on the trip so he can free up time to go birding and perhaps increase his life list to more than 1,000 species, he said. “I like finding the new birds the best,” Henry said. “It’s fun to look at the bird and determine the species. But sometimes I also just like the feeling of being with the birds. I love listening to the plethora of bird songs.” He prefers to use his camera instead of his binoculars on walks, eliminating “stuff” around his neck. He reports his sightings on the Illinois Birders Exchanging Thoughts website and has made friends through the Illinois Young Birders Club. Henry’s neighbors, Celeste and Jim Duignan, followed him on a recent walk, as amazed by their young neighbor’s leadership skills as they were with the hermit thrush and the brown creeper he pointed out. “We follow his blog,” Celeste said. “We enjoy hearing him play his trumpet in the summer when the windows are open. Sometimes he plays taps in the evening. It’s wonderful what he knows about birds. But what I really enjoy seeing is the path he’s taken. It’s Henry’s own migration that is most amazing.” website, over 50 percent of the University’s waste is diverted from landfills. By 2020, they hope to divert 75 percent. The recycling bin project, funded in part by Facilities and Services, the Student Sustainability Committee and ISTC, costs around $22,000 total, with the bins costing $12,000. Bartels said that Facilities and Services painted and sandblasted the bins and placed them on the Quad. Beyond this pilot program, ISTC has more plans for continuing the University’s zero-waste initiative, including starting a Styrofoam recycling program, a nitro glove (used in dining halls and labs) recycling program, and a repeat of their Zero Waste Game Day, which took place at the 2014 Illinois Homecoming football game. Bartels said over 60 percent of the waste produced that day was either composted or recycled. Yet, according to Bartels, there is still much to be done to reach the zerowaste and carbon neutral goals. “We’re making improvements, but we have a long way to go,” he said.

Quad recycling project reduces student waste BY EMILY SCOTT STAFF WRITER

Students play cricket on the South Quad on April 24. Participants are members of the Cricket Club of Illinois, a registered student organization. Cricket tournament finals will take place Sunday on the South Quad.

very Friday night since April 4, the South Quad has transformed into a cricket field. Over 100 people, mostly from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, spread out across the lawn to play cricket for recreation. They also prepare for their upcoming tournament finals, which will be on Sunday on the South Quad. Some of the cricket players are undergraduate students; some are graduate or Ph.D. students. A few aren’t students at all, who simply come out to participate in a sport they grew up playing. A combination of international and American students with South Asian backgrounds are present, and they all speak to each other in Hindi or in the colloquial twist of Punjabi. Most of the players are members of the Cricket Club of Illinois, an RSO that was founded in 1985 with the goal of uniting students with a similar passion for the game. “Cricket dominates the sports aspect of South Asia,� said Salman Khan, junior in LAS and president of the RSO. “People compare it to religion.� During the Friday matches, several pairs of teams play against each other and rotate, as sounds of laughter, chatter, shouts and cheers from players who forge connections with the people they either grew up with or met at the University reverber-

ate. Those who aren’t currently playing in a match sit back and watch, immersed in the game as they wait for their turn to play. Ahmed Sadeque, Ph.D. candidate in Engineering, is treasurer of the RSO and has assisted in the cricket tournament’s setup. He said cricket is the sport regularly played in his home country of Pakistan, and its significance extends beyond the game itself.
“We’ve got a lot of tension on the border (of India and Pakistan). Cricket was something that used to unify us.� ASHWIN BHARADWAJ PH.D. STUDENT IN ENGINEERING
“This has cultural significance for us,� he said. “Any kid who is raised in South Asia – especially Pakistan, India, Bangladesh – they’ll start playing cricket at 5 or 6 years old. So it has a huge significance in our lives.� Khan said the sport also appeals to people who are not part of the South Asian community. “We’ve had people who grew up in the United States playing base-
ball join us,� he said. “We make sure everyone knows it’s an open thing; anybody’s welcome to join, and we encourage that.� The cricket matches on the South Quad are not only a way for people to learn about the sport and have the opportunity to play, but they also expose people to the cultures and religions of the players, Khan said. Most of the players are Muslim, but there are also Hindus and Sikhs who play. Sadeque added that the diversity represented at matches also allows for participants to learn more about the cultures and values of fellow cricket players and to make friends from other countries. Ashwin Bharadwaj, Ph.D. student in Engineering, is an active member of the Cricket Club of Illinois and a regular at the Friday night matches. Bharadwaj, who is originally from India, said cricket has been a unifying force between people of different South Asian nations, and it serves as a way to contradict mainstream depictions of constant tensions between the countries. “I think cricket is a binding sport for us, especially India and Pakistan,� Bharadwaj said. “You can see a lot of camaraderie between players, at the international level and over here as well. I have a lot of Pakistani friends from cricket. We’ve got a lot of tension on the border. Cricket was something that used to unify us.�

In an effort to make campus more eco-friendly and closer to a zero-waste initiative, 20 new recycling bins with standardized signage were installed on the Quad this month, making 30 total recycling/landfill stations. The project was completed by the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC). According to the project’s leader Bart Bartels, technical assistance engineer at ISTC, the center makes recommendations and completes projects aiming to reduce waste emissions on campus. This zero-waste initiative is part of the goal of the Illinois Climate Action Plan (iCAP), the University’s mission to make campus carbon neutral by 2050. “Zero-waste is basically sending close to nothing to the landfill ‌ It’s usually at least 90 percent of your materials are either recycled, composted or reused,â€? Bartels said. After conducting a series of surveys last year, ISTC found there was a common misconception about campus recycling. The surveys found that
many students believe all materials thrown into disposal bins on campus are eventually sorted by the Waste Transfer Station. According to Bartels, that is only the case in some locations. To try and reverse this misconception, 20 recycling bins with new signage were purchased and installed on the Quad on April 9. The lids on the bins now distinguish recycling (bottles and cans) with a blue lid and landfill with a black lid. Bartels said the new signage allows each person to make a conscious choice when they throw something away. It also standardizes the signage throughout campus. The signage for recycling is currently different throughout the C-U community as well. “Eventually, I’d like to have that standardized throughout the whole community, so that no matter where you are, it’s easy to recognize what should go in the bins,� Bartels said. He said it should now be easy to tell what is recycling and what is landfill.

Kopinski twins leave their mark on Illinois Twins leave program with mountain of achievements BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER
“Not again.� That’s what went through Tim Kopinski’s head when his twin sister Melissa decided to join him to play tennis at Illinois. Through junior tennis and high school, Tim had always been “Melissa’s brother� — constantly overshadowed by his sister. Tim would come home beaming with a thirdplace tournament trophy, and Melissa would walk in with a first place one. Melissa had scholarship offers from top
schools across the country, but Illinois was one of a few schools interested in Tim. “She was one of the top (junior tennis players) in the country, I’d have to hear about all her success, and I’m out here struggling to get into the tournaments,� Tim said, “That definitely motivated me ... seeing all her success and I’m losing first round. It kind of motivated me to train more.� But they both decided to become Illini, and in 2011, they became the first pair of twins to play on the Illi-
nois men’s and women’s tennis teams. Four years later, they’re the first pair of twins to have All-American banners hanging on the wall at the Atkins Tennis Center. The Kopinskis have left their mark on Illinois tennis. And Tim has become more than just “Melissa’s brother.� During junior tennis, Melissa said she remembers Tim losing a lot. He was a lot smaller than many of his opponents. During one of the many times that Tim was beaten, she remembers that men’s tennis head coach Brad Dancer was there. He told Melissa, “You have a special brother out there.� “With him, I couldn’t have been more right,� Dancer
said. “I watched him play a match one time when he was down 6-1, 5-0, 40-0, and he was jumping around like it was the first point of the match ... Once the match is on, he’s on ... You cannot turn Tim Kopinski off.� Dancer called the twins “two of the most respectful, humble, athletic kids,� he has ever met. When they arrived at Illinois they immediately became two of their team’s hardest working players. Melissa said Tim has gone from being a “tiny kid� to being able to “squat a car.� He’s won the Illini’s Strength and Conditioning Award the last three years. Dancer said that future Illinois teams will look back to Tim as a stan-
dard of hard work. That work ethic has led to illustrious careers and a litany of achievements for the twins. Tim earned his AllAmerican honor with doubles partner Ross Guignon after they received a top-eight seed in the 2014 NCAA Doubles Tournament. The pair was eliminated in the first round. Melissa gained her AllAmerican status in 2013 with Tim watching while Illinois hosted the NCAA Championships. She reached the round of 16 in the doubles tournament along with her partner Rachael White. The twins have also collected a staggering number of victories in their college careers. Together, they’ve
put up a combined 369 wins for Illinois with a chance to add more in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Tim has claimed 107 singles matches and 101 doubles matches, while Melissa has won 74 singles matches and 87 doubles matches. This year, Tim has been one of the men’s teams top players — he’s 18-3 this spring. Melissa is 15-7 as the top player on the women’s team and won the team’s MVP award with teammate Alexis Casati. She also won the award her freshmen year, and four years later, women’s head coach Michelle Dasso said that Melissa has devel-

Baseball having fun with winning streak BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
One of the oldest clichĂŠs about playing sports is that they’re all about having fun. As clichĂŠ as it may be, the Illinois baseball team has embraced this mentality throughout its 18-game winning streak. Illinois (37-6-1, 13-1 Big Ten) will go on the road this weekend to face what could be the biggest threat to its school-record winning streak — Ohio State (31-10, 12-3), which is third in the Big Ten and has a sevengame winning streak of its own. The Buckeyes will be this season’s first top-five conference opponent for the Illini. The players won’t be intimidated, though. For them, it will just be three more fun days at the ballpark. “With this team, we just have so much fun playing every day,â€? sophomore outfielder Pat McInerney said. The Illini showed the nation just how much fun they can have when a group of relievers attempted scaling the bullpen railing with no hands during Sunday’s BTN-televised victory over Penn State. Following that 6-3 win, the Illini showcased their singing chops
with a triumphant performance of Maxine Nightingale’s “Right Back Where We Started From� on the bus ride back to Champaign. Head coach Dan Hartleb has been a fan of his team’s performances, both on the field and during bus rides, and is happy to be around a mature, yet entertaining, group of players. “They’re fun and funny, yet when we come out here for practice and pregame, everybody’s very focused because we know we have a job to get done,� Hartleb said. “It’s a group that’s fun to be around just because they do the right things.� Illinois has outscored opponents 141-57 during its record streak. In the 18-game span, the pitching staff has posted a 2.35 ERA, and nine different pitchers have secured a win. The team is hitting .296 during the same span — five Illini are batting over .300 and seven batters have at least 10 RBIs. The Illini went all of April without a loss and as of Tuesday, they have the best record in the nation. With such accomplishments, having fun is sure to follow. Of course, winning breeds positivity, but the players don’t think such

That’s a great thing that our ball club does — we have fun. I think that’s why we’ve been really successful.� Illinois’ trip to Ohio State will be its fi nal road trip of

Men’s golf observes, competes at Augusta BY DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER
The first weekend of April was a time of intense competition for the Illinois men’s golf team. The Illini were playing in the 3M Augusta Invitational and had recently lost its national No. 1 rankings. It was a time for the team to hone its game and prepare for the upcoming postseason. The team finished second in the tournament, held at the Forest Hills Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, but after the rigor and stress of the competition had concluded, the men’s golf team indulged in an experience that many collegiate golfers dream of. Just across town from where they had played, they watched a practice round of the prestigious Masters tournament, held at the Augusta National Golf Club. Head coach Mike Small said the experience made the event one of the more enjoyable of the spring season. “The trip to Augusta is a fun event for us,� Small said

“The trip to Augusta is a fun event ... It’s not only a big event ... but we also get to attend the Masters.�
“But I haven’t gone in such a long time. It was cool to go back and learn from what they do, and to be back at such a special place.� Hardy had never been to the Masters before the team’s visit this season. This year’s Masters was dominated by 2015 green jacket winner Jordan Spieth. Spieth was one of the top high school, collegiate and amateur golfers in the country before he decided to turn pro midway through his sophomore year at the University of Texas. In 2011, he was Big 12 Freshman of the Year and a member of the Longhorns’ national championship team. Similarly to the four major professional sports (basketball, football, hockey and baseball), once an athlete decides to turn pro, they can not return to the amateur level. Any scholarships the athlete was possibly receiving are taken away. The player is now a professional, relying on winnings and endorse-
ments to make a living. The success stories are the ones that make the news. Tiger Woods left Stanford after two years and hasn’t looked back since. Spieth is currently the No. 2 golfer in the world, only behind Rory Mcllroy. The failures, however, are the ones that don’t receive the attention of the media. These golfers outweigh the number of those who achieve. In Illinois’ case, Small has faced this situation before, seeing both the good and bad of what can come from the choice. “It happened to us before,� Small said. “Thomas Pieters turned pro his junior year. It’s worked for him. If the young man thinks it’s in his interest, then he has to make that decision. I know some who made that choice and are enjoying it and others which wish that they didn’t go pro and stayed.� Small also agrees that Spieth made the right choice, emphasizing, however, that every choice is different.
“Everybody is different,� Small said. “He’s a topranked player in the world, and his decision was the correct one. He’s got millions in endorsements, and he’s winning. It’s a personal decision, though.� Hardy agreed that the choice can be right for some. Like Spieth, Hardy was allconference as a freshman and selected as the conference freshman of the year. For him, however, he believes that the collegiate route is the one for him, allowing him many more chances to help the Illini win and to check out some of his idols. “No, I don’t think so,� Hardy said of leaving prematurely. “I don’t want to leave early. Jordan’s an incredible player; he’s really good to say the least. It’s not worth rushing and making that jump early. I’d rather use my four years here and gain as much experience as possible, and help the team win.�

Men’s track and field heads to Iowa City
BY EMMA MCGOWEN STAFF WRITER
Following its biggest win of the season at Drake Relays and two weeks away from the Big Ten Championships, this weekend is a different one for the Illinois men’s track and field team. The Illini will wrap up their regular season this weekend at the Musco Twilight meet in Iowa City, Iowa. With the Big Ten Championships on the horizon, head coach Mike Turk is taking an alternative approach this weekend. “We’re not really focusing on any kind of team competitiveness this weekend,� Turk said, “We will run almost everyone, but we have some guys who we’re looking for to put up some better performances as we move towards the peak time of the year.� One concern for teams this late in the season is overextending its athletes, which Turk is working to avoid. “Running as many races as we did last weekend and competing as hard as we
did, this weekend we’ll take it a little bit easier,� Turk said. “We’re not going to run the 4x100 meter relay. We just don’t need to stretch those guys out that way this week. We don’t really have anything to gain from doing that right now.� The 4x100 team which typically consists of Brandon Stryganek, Cole Henderson, DJ Zahn and either Maurice Watkins or Mo Maat fi nished second at Drake Relays. Senior Corey Hammon and sophomore George Wayda will not compete this weekend — they both participated in the decathlon at Drake Relays. Other athletes will compete in events that aren’t their usual races. Junior Cam Viney and sophomore David Kendziera will run the 200 meters this weekend in order to “lighten up their load and do something fun for them,� according to Turk. Practices in preparation for this weekend have changed as well: The coaches want to give the athletes more recovery time

Track finishes season at Purdue BY ZOE KALER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s track and field team was originally scheduled to compete at the Bill Hayes Invite in Bloomington, Indiana, this weekend, but due to the possibility of the invite not having enough teams to compete, the Illini were admitted to the Rankin/Poehlein Invitational. Illinois will travel to West Lafayette, Indiana, on Saturday for the Invitational. Head coach Ron Garner said the schedule change allows him to potentially bring two additional team members Saturday. Garner said he expects tough competition this weekend. In preparation, he said the team has been working on timing, technique and “working out kinks.� Some of the teams Illinois will compete against include host Purdue, Western Michigan, Ball State and Marian University. “This will be a meet that we’re looking forward to because it doesn’t involve too much travel,� distance
coach Scott Jones said. The trip to West Lafayette is just under two hours from Champaign-Urbana by car. Junior Britten Petrey and freshman Valerie Bobart will compete in the 3000-meter steeplechase. Petrey, who was out sick last weekend for the Drake Relays, said she is excited to return to competition. Her goal is to set a personal best — last time out, she fi nished second in the 3000-meter steeplechase at the Illinois Twilight Meet. Since recovering from her illness, Petrey said she is focusing on rest and hydration to prepare for the weekend. Sophomores Nicole Choquette and Lindsey Rakosnik and seniors Amanda Duvendack and Chloe Schmidt will be running the 4x800 meter relay. Jones said he expects the MAC schools, including Western Michigan and Ball State, will be particularly competitive in the event. Sophomore Kandie BlochJones will compete in high jump; an event Garner expects to be one of the most
competitive at the meet. Senior Stephanie Richartz, junior Jennifer DeBellis and freshmen Sara McKeeman and Liz Livingston will compete on pole vault. Richartz placed fi rst in the event last weekend at the Drake Relays. McKeeman will be making an Indiana homecoming. She is from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and her brother — Jon McKeeman — is a junior basketball player at Purdue. DeBellis said she is feeling good going into Saturday because of her performance last weekend, when she cleared a personal record of 4.05 meters. In preparation for this weekend, DeBellis said she will go about the invite as if it were a practice. “There’s no need to worry or fear about any of the competition,� she said. Jones said he expects there will be large numbers of season best and personal bests set on Saturday. At the Drake Relays, DeBellis was the only Illini to set a personal best. “I think this will be a

TENNIS oped into an outspoken, feisty leader. Melissa has been there for several of Tim’s biggest moments as an Illini. Just this school year, she watched her brother win his second Big Ten championship and his first professional title at Champaign’s JSM Challenger in November. But one of her favorite matches of Tim’s came during their sophomore year in 2013. While Melissa was putting together an outstanding freshman year, one of Tim’s first big moments came against Kentucky. He won the clinching match in a 4-3 upset
over the then-No. 7 Wildcats. Atkins was electric and Tim was swarmed by teammates and fans on the court. Since they got to college, Tim said the twins’ playing styles have changed and become more similar. “We both like to be really aggressive on court ... We use our forehands and impose our game on our opponents instead of counterattacking,� Tim said. “We use our physicality to make it not as much fun for our opponents.� While they aren’t usually able to watch each other play because the men’s and women’s teams alternate home weekends, Melissa says they see each other every day at practice. Tim offers Melissa advice
for life on the court, beyond just her game. He talks to Melissa about staying on top of her nutrition and fitness. Melissa offers advice to Tim for life off the court. She tells him that there is life outside of tennis and reminds him to balance sports and everything else. While Tim might have had some uncertainty about Melissa joining him in Champaign, he said he’s happy to have had his sister here the last four years. “People keep asking, can I imagine a different school without him, and honestly I can’t,� Melissa said. “I wouldn’t take this away for anything.�

In what should come as no surprise to anyone who followed the 2014-15 NBA season, Andrew Wiggins will became the first Timberwolves player to be named the league’s Rookie of the Year, according to a league source. The official announcement will be made Thursday. It was, as many of Wiggins’ points came during the season, a slam dunk. Wiggins led all rookies per game in points, minutes, field goals and free throws while becoming the only Wolves player to appear in all 82 games. Wiggins, the former first-overall pick by Cleveland who was acquired in the Kevin Love trade in August, won the first four Western Conference rookie of the month awards of the season, scored in double figures in 69 of 82 games, had 20 or more points 31 times and scored at least 30 four times. At one point during the season, when asked about the rookie of the year discussion, Wolves president of basketball operations and coach Flip Saunders said, flatly, “There’s no discussion.� He was right. Especially after Milwaukee rookie Jabari Parker was lost for
the season to a left knee injury Dec. 15. As Saunders said at his season-ending meeting with the media, Wiggins is the cornerstone for where he hopes the franchise is heading. “If you look at the teams that are successful right now ... they all have a player who can create, who can create plays out of nothing,� Saunders said. “They get to the free-throw line. For the first time, pretty much in this organization, we have a player who can do that.� Wiggins led all rookies in free-throw attempts (5.7 per game) and free throws made (4.3). Over the final 15 games of the season, which Wiggins ended with a flourish _ scoring 20 or more points in 11 of those games _ those averages were 15.0 free throw attempts per game and 12.1 made. “To be point-blank, he can make something happen out of nothing,� Saunders continued. “He got to the free-throw line, in the last two months, second (in the league) to (Houston guard James)Harden. He scored at a high level. He attacked the basket.� This, despite playing big minutes on a team dealing with injuries from start to finish, despite nearly always having to guard the other team’s best perimeter player. And, despite the fact
that, on many nights, Wiggins was the opposition’s top defensive priority. “Offensively, defensively, just being the person that I am off the court, I learned a lot,� Wiggins said before the Wolves’ final game of the season. “I’ve grown a lot since (training camp).� Wiggins, now 20, came to the Wolves as a quiet 19-year-old who had played one season at Kansas. He had a reputation of being too deferential on the court. Over the course of the season Wiggins came out of his shell, both on the field and off. Saunders, talking about Wiggins’ growing in all areas over the course of the season, joking that you can tell how much he’s grown because now, instead of giving the media one-word answers, he gives threeword answers. In a more serious vein, Saunders said: “Overall, (it’s) how he carries himself, how he communicates, everything. Just how he has been much more comfortable in everything he does with everybody: with me, the coaching staff, with all the players training staff, with everybody. He has grown more than you thought he was capable of.� And that has been noticed.

Softball looks to finish regular season
Illinois looks to secure 3rd place conference standing against Nebraska this weekend BY ETHAN SWANSON
Illinois at Nebraska
STAFF WRITER
For 64 softball teams across the country, the postseason begins May 15 with the regional round of the 2015 Women’s College World Series. For the Illini softball team, though, the postseason begins this weekend. The Illini (25-24, 13-7 Big Ten) begin a three-game conference series against Nebraska (30-19, 15-5) on Friday. With the teams fourth and third in the conference standings, respectively, a series sweep would give Illinois sole possession of third place heading into the first round of the Big Ten tournament May 7. It would allow the Illini to potentially delay a meeting with No. 5 Michigan until the championship series of the conference tournament. “Our main goal right now is to win the series against Nebraska in hopes of actually making the postseason,” said senior catcher Jess Perkins. “We need to stay over .500 (for an atlarge bid) too, so we’re just concerned about coming out with some wins.” A win is something the Cornhuskers have rarely surrendered to the Illini in recent years. Illinois is 2-8 against Nebraska all-time; the most recent meeting resulted in a 12-3 rout by Nebraska at Eichelberger Field last April. Despite the unfavorable series history for Illinois, the two teams seem to match up eerily well this season. Although Nebraska’s non-conference and tourna-
When/Where: May 1-3, Lincoln, Nebraska Quick Notes: Illinois could either rise to third or fall to fifth in the conference standings this weekend. With the postseason drawing near, the Illini will need all the wins they can get to stay above .500 and potentially earn a bid to the NCAA regional round May 7. Hidden Stat: Illinois has either split or won every conference road series this season ment schedule was substantially weaker than Illinois’ this season, the results against common opponents are almost identical. Both schools dropped a game against Purdue and Northwestern, and both scored at least 12 runs in their two wins over Iowa during conference play. Outside the Big Ten, Illinois and Nebraska each made quick work of DePaul on the road and were on the losing end of a 3-0 contest with North Dakota State at home. Neither team has played Michigan during the regular season, nor have the schools dropped a Big Ten series with any team other than No. 19 Minnesota. “Every year (Nebraska) is a very tough opponent, but we’re excited to go their field, take over, and play the game our way,” said senior outfielder Brittany Sanchez, “It will be a

Illinois’ Jess Perkins reaches out to catch the pitch during the softball game vs. Wisconsin at Eichelberger Field on April 17. good match up offensively, and pitching-wise.” With Northwestern tied with Illinois in the conference loss column, the Illini cannot afford to sink to fifth place and lose a firstround bye in the conference tournament. The Illini players say getting the bye would be huge for a team with a young roster whose ace
has already pitched over 150 innings this season. “It would be really nice to have our pitchers rest their arms, catchers rest their legs and be able to throw in an extra practice somewhere,” said sophomore outfielder Nicole Evans. Head coach Terri Sullivan and her team don’t like to look at implications too
far ahead in the future, but they realize if they don’t show up ready to play in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Friday, there might not be a future for the team past May. With standings, seeding and postseason hopes on the line, Sullivan believes her team is ready for the pressure. “All Big Ten games have
a special feel to them,” Sullivan said. “We expect a big fight from everyone, but this team just loves to play the game. We let (media) worry about the standings and scenarios, we’ve just done a very good job focusing on playing quality Illinois softball.”

Rivers fined for public criticism of referees after loss to Spurs
NUCCIO DINUZZO TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Chicago Cubs second baseman Addison Russell heads back to the dugout after scoring on the RBI single by Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo during the fifth inning on Monday at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
Cubs cleared of tampering charges after investigation The Chicago Cubs were cleared Wednesday of charges by the Tampa Bay Rays that they tampered in their pursuit of manager Joe Maddon. Major League Baseball issued a statement indicating they completed their investigation that took nearly six months. “The investigation produced no finding of a viola-
tion of Major League Rule 3(k) on tampering,” the statement said. Maddon exercised an escape clause with one year left on his contract with the Rays. The Cubs insisted through the process that they went through proper channel to make sure Maddon was a free agent before making contact and eventually signing him to a fiveyear, $25 million contract. The Cubs fired Rick Renteria with two years left on his contract before hiring Maddon. Speculation was rampant that the Cubs would be fined and/or lose a draft pick if they were found guilty of tampering.
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Clippers Coach Doc Rivers has been fined $25,000 for public criticism of referees following the Clippers’ 111-107 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series on Tuesday. “I thought we got some really tough calls tonight, some brutal calls,” Rivers said late Tuesday night. “The travel on Blake (Griffin), the goaltend on Matt (Barnes), which wasn’t a
goaltend. You think about the playoffs, and they’re single possession games.” Barnes was called for goaltending with 5 minutes and 45 seconds left in the second quarter. Griffin was called for traveling with 5:01 left in the third quarter. Redick received his sixth foul with 48 seconds left in the fourth quarter. And Chris Paul received a controversial technical foul with 4:48 left in the fourth quarter. With 4.9 seconds left and the Clippers down, 108-107, Griffin shot a contested one-handed floater that rolled around the rim. DeAndre Jordan tipped the ball in and was called for offensive interference on the play.

Tight end Martellus Bennett is looking for some security, for a show of loyalty. In NF L terms, that means Bennett would like to get paid. With no guaranteed money left on the fouryear contract he signed to join the Chicago Bears in 2013, Bennett is hoping to land a new deal soon.
So his absence from this week’s voluntary minicamp at Halas Hall is not coincidental. To be clear, the Bears’ depth at tight end is not strong behind Bennett. And the draft class is also notably weak. So any possibility of trading Bennett likely would only fully register with new general manager Ryan Pace if the compensation being offered in return was significant. Bennett is coming off a career season, named to the Pro Bowl as an alternate after recording 90 catches, 916 yards and six touchdowns.
