Administration addresses acts of discrimination on campus BY AARON NAVARO ASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITOR
Swastikas were found graffitied onto three separate University buildings, according to a University Massmail sent Thursday. The symbols were taken down in Lincoln Hall, Gregory Hall and the Armory. Within an hour of discovering the vandalism, the Facilities and Services staff, F&S, worked with the University of Illinois Police Department to remove the swastikas. “We took the reports as soon as we received them, and F&S removed the vandalism,” said UIPD spokesperson Patrick Wade. University police said the incident occurred between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. in Lincoln Hall, between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. in Gregory Hall and in between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. in the Armory. Police are currently investigating and reviewing the security camera footage. The massmail said that incidences such as these may result in disciplinary actions or criminal

Strike ends: Faculty union, University reach tentative contract agreement DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Classes will resume as normal for the final three days of classes this semester. The Non-Tenure Faculty Coalition Local 6546 voted Sunday evening to end the strike and return to work as normal. University administration and the NTFC, released a joint statement Saturday evening, stating a tentative five-year contract was agreed upon. This comes 575 days since the union has been without a contract. Negotiations began in October 2014. This is the first achieved contract for the union after three rounds of labor actions and the union will hold a vote to ratify and accept the contract on Thursday. “The (NTFC) and Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson and Interim Provost Edward Feser are pleased to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement for a five-year contract for specialized faculty members. Everyone involved appreciates the hard work and partnership that went into reaching this important step in the process,” the statement said. History professor and NTFC Communications Chair, Dorothee Schneider, sent out a statement on behalf of the NTFC about the possible agreement. In the statement, Interim Provost Edward Feser said, “We would not achieve our mission as a leading public research university without the excellent work and dedication of our specialized faculty. We are a stronger institution when they are integral partners in governance, when their teaching is protected by academic freedom, and when they have appropriate predictability and stability in their appointments.” Feser also said that the agreement encompasses
It’s been 575 days since the Non-Tenure Faculty Coalition Local 6546 has had a contract with the administration. The two parties reached an agreement and here are a few issues covered in the contract. the above priorities without replacing the departments and colleges as overseers of the hiring and promotion aspects of the University’s academic programs. The agreement will also maintain the academic units’ flexibility with multi-year contract offers in regards to the units’ own needs and fi nancial capacity, Feser said. Also in the statement, Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson said, “We greatly value the contributions of our specialized faculty, and we appreciate that negotiators for the union remained at the bargaining table with us to find common ground that achieves our shared goals.” The NTFC began considering striking early this April. The coalition represents around 500 nontenure track faculty and an “overwhelming majority” voted in favor of striking. “We are very closely tied to the undergraduate body … One of the things that is important about a strike in education is minimizing the impact on students but also making clear why the impact is what it is,”said Union President Shawn Gilmore. “If we do strike and you do withhold your classes, it’s important to not leave students up in the air about what that means.” Most of the main goals the union bargained for were agreed upon in the contract, said Dorothee Schneider, communication chair for the

group. Some points included greater employment security, academic freedom protections and participation in faculty governance. Their first round of strikes were held on April 19 and 20, cancelling some classes taught by non-tenure faculty. Interim Provost Ed Feser sent an email April 15 to all non-tenure track faculty, whom the Non-Tenure Faculty Coalition Local 6546 represents, stating faculty who strike will not be paid. Sam LeRoy, sophomore in Business and Illinois Student Senator, said he personally was frustrated, especially after seeing gridlock in Illinois legislature, to see the same brand of politics come back to the University. Because two parties cannot come to an agreement, now one party is going to bring a group of constituents up for collateral damage: the students. He said students are paying tuition and receiving scholarships to receive education and do not deserve any missed opportunities. After the union and administration had yet to reach an agreement days later, non-tenure faculty held a work-in in the Henry Administration Building April 26 and 27. They then continued to picket Thursday and Friday.

Many stories of social turmoil get buried with history, but one group is working to remember the forgotten and marginalized stories within the Champaign-Urbana community. A project created by Public History at UIUC is an online story map that allows readers to scroll through the stories connected to the various landmarks on campus. So far, the map has primarily featured stories of social movements including activism on the quad, boycotts dating back to 1971 and an outline of the removal of Chief Illiniwek. Public History at UIUC is a faculty-student Research Cluster sponsored by the Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities. Arianna Adkins, a junior in LAS, has been working on the project since the beginning of this semester. Adkins is one of about a dozen people putting the map together, five of which are undergraduates. “I worked on (the piece about) Project 500 and the riots at ISR which happened in September of 1968. Students involved with the project protested the administration’s failure to keep promises,” Adkins said. “At the time,(African American students) were living in really bad housing.” A large number of the stories unearthed from around campus focus on the activism of minorities. Professor Kathryn Oberdeck, codirector of the project, spoke about interviewing local families that hosted African American students when they could not find a place to rent in the 1960’s.

Students march across the intersection between Green and Wright Street, carrying posters with messages in protest of police brutality on Dec. 8, 2014. “Activism of marginalized communities of color is a pretty big theme among the stories we’re seeing,” Adkins said. The group has also been recording oral histories by interviewing community members and have done extensive archival research of student newspapers. This research will be added to the website as well. Daniel Gilbert, a professor of labor and employment relationships, is the other co-director of the project. He said the research cluster eventually would like to connect with museums and historical societies that are doing similar work in other areas. “We wanted to create a way to connect historians with community members who could help accurately reflect the history of our University,” Oberdeck said. “It’s really been interesting to be in a collaboration with other communities and groups that feel we can bring visibility to their struggles.” Oberdeck notes that this is an opportunity to engage the community in discussion about contemporary move-

ments. For instance, outlining what the confederate flag means to our community. Gilbert noted that social movements continue to occur on our campus today citing the “All Lives Matter” movement and the movement to rename monuments and buildings named after racist figures. “It’s important for the University to delve into it’s own history so we can realize that there is more than one history,” Adkins said. “There’s more to be seen than what the University boasts about. There’s a long history of activism on this campus.” While the project will go on hiatus for the summer, the group will return next semester to continue their research. This project was never intended to be comprehensive. While this project has only been off the ground for one semester, their mission will never be complete. “This is by no means finished and it probably won’t ever be. It is an ongoing public history,” Adkins said. “It’s still going on today.”

Edward Feser and Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Renee Romano, said this year alone they have seen many threatening posts and actions directed toward specific groups and they “do not advance legitimate discourse and debate.” “This academic year we’ve seen threatening anonymous Facebook posts directed at our African American students and demeaning chalkings targeting Latinas and Latinos,” the Massmail said. “We condemn acts like these that are intended to intimidate particular groups.” The message called for a conclusion of the year with a more welcoming and supportive campus. “Let’s conclude this year with a steadfast commitment to being welcoming and supportive of each other,” the massmail said. “And to demonstrating with our words and acts what it means to be a member of the Illinois family.”

prosecution. Wade said the probability of fi nding the suspect ranges, compared to past cases. “In some cases, there are witnesses or we happen to have good security camera footage of the incident. In other incidents, that’s not the case. It depends a lot on when and where the vandalism occurred,” Wade said. Because police believe these incidents occurred during times people would be moving through these buildings, they encourage anyone with information to contact UIPD. “The more information we have about an incident, the more likely we are to identify the offender,” Wade said. A separate situation was noted in the massmail where a probationary UI employee created and left a noose at a table in a work area. The employee later admitted to being responsible for creating the noose and was promptly dismissed from the University. The Massmail, signed by Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson, Interim Provost

Rauner arrives on campus to student protests BY LAUREN SCAFIDI STAFF WRITER
Some University students attended the event in Illini Union Room C to honor the student winning the Illinois Innovation Prize, but other students attended with a different and more disruptive motive in mind. When students heard Gov. Bruce Rauner would be at Thursday morning’s award ceremony to congratulate the students for their engineering achievements, they created a Facebook group titled “Welcome Governor Rauner @ UIUC.” This Facebook page is where student protesters planned to meet at the Union at 12:45 p.m. to protest Rauner’s visit to the University and his proposed cuts to higher education. The group of about 50 student protestors does not belong to one specific organization. Rather, they describe themselves as a group of “like-minded thinkers,” said Richard Daniels, junior in FAA. “He kind of snuck by us, but once we reached him on the east side (of the Union), we started the chants and everything, pretty much right in front of his face,” Daniels said. “The police officers and security kind of had to hold us back so Students and faculty protest at the Illini Union during Gov.

“The means are not conducive to what we are trying to do, and I don’t think it is representative of who we are at a world class academic institution,” Villanueva said. Villanueva said Rauner came to campus to recognize a group of students and what they have accomplished at the University, and that is part of the reason Illinois needs a budget. But instead, protesters politicized the event. “I think the biggest losers today are the students and the College of Engineering staff because their event was politicized, and in many ways, it was ruined,” Villanueva said. “(The protest) takes away from all the hard work the
students have done.” Villanueva said an alternative and sufficient way to express their feelings could have been to stay on the sidewalk in front of the Union and Rauner would have seen the protesters as he was driving by. Chasing and chanting at him is where the line was crossed, Villanueva said. “They can’t have it both ways, they can’t have him come and see the great things we are doing here, and when he finally does come, yell at him to go home,” Villanueva said. “That’s not going to make him feel sorry for us and ultimately, we need his pen.”

Academic Senate to vote on hiring policy change BY MEGAN JONES STAFF WRITER
New professors who begin teaching classes in August will work until September without having their appointments approved by the Board of Trustees. For some, such as Steven Salaita, whose controversial appointment was denied, this can create a lack of job security leading into the academic year. While the board must ultimately approve new hiring policies and procedures, the Academic Senate will vote on them Monday. The procedures encourage the board to delegate the approvals for tenure and non-tenure track academic appointments to each campus’ chancellor. The committee reaffirmed that the board should approve all appointments at the dean-level and higher. The recommendations come from a committee that examined the policies after forming in October 2014 at the request of
Former Provost Ilesanmi Adesida and Former Senate Executive Committee Chair Roy Campbell. A final report was issued in December 2014. The committee formed after the rejected appointment of Salaita, who was offered a position as a

Urbana bank robbed, police investigating BY VIVIENNE HENNING ASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITOR
A bank robbery took place Friday afternoon at First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust in Urbana. The Urbana Police Department sent out press release Friday evening stating that the robbery had taken place around 3 p.m. at the bank on 601 South Vine Street. The suspect entered the bank using the south doors, and brandished a handgun while demanding money. An unspecified amount of money was given to the suspect, and he then fled from the bank by foot, initially heading south and then west. Sources described the suspect as a white male in his 50’s with white hair. He is around 5’6” with a medium
ing conflict in Gaza. The Salaita case was resolved in $875,000 settlement. Emails released later showed Wise was under pressure from donors and other stakeholders to rescind his offer. By the time Salaita’s job was rescinded, he had already left his previous job and began preparations to move to Urbana. The board typically meets every two months, so the time between a concluded search and when the board may meet could be weeks and months, said Bill Maher, chair of the committee on University Statutes and Senate Procedures. “It has meant that we have people here who were hired to start working and are expected to start meeting with class and doing work, who haven’t had their appointments formally approved by the board, so there was this gap in timing,” Maher said. Additionally, the board does not receive substantial information regarding the proposed appointments. In

The suspect wore an orange face mask and sunglasses to disguise his appearance while committing the robbery. But while exiting the bank, he removed the orange face mask and put on a camouflage baseball cap. Three of the bank’s employees were present and no customers were inside the bank during the time that the robbery occurred. No injuries were reported.

Students must explore their passions CASSANDRA MASTERS Opinions columnist
A
fter attending TEDxUIUC’s conference last weekend, I came to one realization: I am doing absolutely nothing worthwhile with my time here at the University. Although the day-long conference had various lessons and overarching ideas, this was the message that rang clear to me. Although each speaker discussed different topics, ranging from mental health to education programs in Englewood, they shared one common theme: “uncharted”. Each speaker focused on embracing the uncharted ideas and projects that abruptly cross our minds, and are most likely the ones we brush off as impossible. One speaker, Patrick Slade, was a sophomore when he began working with prosthetics, and co-founded the startup PSYONIC. The startup has provided a prosthetic limb to a refugee in Jordan and reached people in many places around the world. He was named one of Forbes “Top 30 Under 30” in healthcare. Another speaker, Aneysha Bhatt, helped develop the “TenseSense” device, which can measure anxiety levels using saliva and other bodily fluids. She developed this device to address
the current lack of any quantitative way to measure anxiety levels, and Bhatt and her team hope to put the device into clinical use for patients struggling with anxiety. These successful students did not develop the entirety of these projects in their 10 a.m. lectures or 3 p.m. discussions. They worked on these projects outside of the classroom, using resources such as knowledgeable professors, research labs and external funding that no ordinary student can get. I, however, spend my free time laughing at mindless Vines, sitting on a couch and staring into space, and watching countless hours of Netflix, hoping to gain the energy to be more productive. College is the only time in our lives when we have all the time, energy, resources and abilities to put our productivity towards something greater, whether it be a prosthetic arm, or being on an executive board for an RSO. We have no one telling us what to do or how to do it, and can act independently from our parents, professors and peers. College is also the time for us to challenge everything we’ve been taught since preschool, question the very root of everything we know and explore the “uncharted territories” that TEDxUIUC promoted. College students spend a combined average of 14 hours of their days sleeping (very impor-

That means we have nearly 10 more hours of the day to do whatever our hearts desire. We must avoid fulfilling the stereotypes of millennials being lazy and living off our parent’s money and hard-work, because we all know that’s not true (except maybe for our Netflix habits, I’ll give them that one). We must embrace all the resources and time given to us at such a prestigious university in our undergraduate years. Pour energy into the “crazy” ideas that cross your mind
as you’re spacing out at the library, and collaborate with those insanely intelligent people in your classes, though they may intimidate you. Talk to the professors who inspire you, and contact any RSOs that even spark a tiny amount of interest. In the closing remarks at TEDxUIUC, the organizers admitted that the conference wouldn’t have been successful had they not spent many late nights in the basement of the Union. That could be any of us, spending our late nights working on our bold ideas for the future instead of watching
“How I Met Your Mother” yet again. We may not all be engineers who can develop prosthetics or tools for measuring anxiety levels, but we do all have passions. They may be our majors, or they may be what we can’t wait to do after classes. Whatever your passion may be, there is a niche on this campus for it, and there are likeminded people here who can help you explore it.

EDITORIAL
Bring Portillo’s to Champaign
D
ear Mr. Keith Kinseymk, CEO of Portillo’s, We recently learned that your company is certainly opening a restaurant in Normal, and merely considering a Champaign location. Yikes. You’re an Illini. You certainly know that Illinois State University can’t have something we don’t. Sure, we’ll still have every possible advantage otherwise, but what’s a better degree and cooler student body compared to a Portillo’s on campus? Nothing, Keith. Nothing. A large part of our student body seemingly grew up in the Chicago suburbs, and nothing makes kids feel more at home like fries from their favorite local fast food joint. Don’t believe us? A Facebook event titled “Rally for Portillo’s” has swept across campus this week, with over 250 students either expressing interest in or planning to attend a pro-Portillo’s demonstration Thursday on the Main Quad. Capitalizing on that passion by opening a Portillo’s in Champaign should be a top priority for your thriving business. We hope you’ll consider this the Editorial Board’s official endorsement of that noble cause. With that, we’d like to offer you a few pointers. As an alumnus, you’re obviously familiar with the beautiful, sprawling campus and the spectacular student body, but we’ve got to admit, things have changed a bit since you graduated in the `70s. As any good business owner, CEO or regretful student living
across the street from Red Lion knows — location is everything. And after hours of deliberation, we’ve chosen our favorite spot: 512 E. Green St. This is an address near and dear to our hearts — it’s our office building. A little selfish? Maybe. But there are few people, or restaurants, we’d share our home with, and you’re one of them. Located right in the middle of Green Street’s abundance of restaurants, business would be booming. And we can almost guarantee a good percentage of that business will come from hungry Daily Illini staffers. (We’d love to talk to you about loyalty cards sometime.) But our plan for a Portillo’s to rule Champaign wouldn’t solely be one of selfish desires. We also think we could help you customize your menu to best fit our Illini-crazed populace. Students and alumni would definitely love to order the Dick Butkus Polish Sausage, the Lovie Chicken Club, the Red Grange Chocolate Cake or even the Steven Salaita Garbage Salad. And if you can’t make it work 20 feet underneath our beloved newsroom, we do have one last idea for a Portillo’s location — somewhere near Memorial Stadium. As you may have heard, another big Chicago name is one step ahead of you and has already made the move to Champaign. With Lovie leading the Illini, we’re thinking students might actually go to football games this year. And what better way to get over a loss, or celebrate a win, than with a beef sandwich and a cake shake?
hether it was love for the girl power anthems or disgust over the sexually charged “bile,” as Matt Walsh from The Blaze put it, everyone had something to say when Beyoncé released her latest album, “Lemonade”, last week on HBO. Walsh argued that “it would be merely absurd ... for a woman to feel ‘empowered’” by the messages in Beyoncé’s album. Because you know what makes women feel the most empowered? Having a man tell them what should make them feel empowered. At any rate, Beyonce received endless criticism for the political messages in her music videos. In one video, she is lying on top of a sinking car, alluding to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Another video includes the mothers of black children shot by the police, holding pictures of their late sons. Between themes of social injustice as well as feminist motifs, it’s safe to say “Lemonade” is Beyonce’s most political album yet. The music is predominantly about marriage infidelity, starting with an emotional ballad, moving on to apathetic “screw you” breakup songs, and ending with forgiveness. But “Lemonade” is more than love songs and club jams. It is a nod to Beyoncé’s southern black roots, which resonated closely with many black women and their struggles. Those roots were no doubt the target of criticism. Piers Morgan, was one of the first to critique Beyonce and her political messages. While admitting that she is a great performer and the music on her album is “fantastic,” he states that he prefers the “less inflammatory, agitating” version of Beyonce. One could argue that Beyonce is exploiting social activism efforts by using the Black Lives Matter movement or proclaiming herself a feminist. But where is this criticism when any other artist makes politically charged songs? Where were the “Boycott Bruce Springsteen” shirts after “Born in the U.S.A”? What about the outrage over Ice Cube’s “Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It”? Dave Matthews’ “Don’t Drink the Water,” Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror,” Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” All of these songs tackle political themes from the Vietnam War to the Native American genocide. But none of these male artists are accused of writing these songs at the expense of marginalized groups. They are seen as brave for taking on such difficult themes. But when a woman such as Beyonce makes strides away from bubblegum pop to tackle more challenging subjects, the public’s immediate response is shock. People are so shaken up by the thought of a powerful woman using her power as a platform. People are only comfortable with silent, well-behaved women.
Walsh, in his column, made this clear by telling us that Beyonce is not empowering our daughters, she’s destroying them by giving them a voice. He wants so badly for women to surrender to their assigned gender roles that he even dictates which emotions are valid for a woman and which are not. “Bitterness, greed, envy, narcissism, sexual desperation and selfobjectification do not empower,” he says. Morgan furthered this sexism by begging her to go back to the old Beyoncé — the one who submitted to her role as a female performer while the men took on the bigger issues. We see so much policing of women and their actions in the media, but none so blatant as Walsh’s and Morgan’s selfrighteous expositions. Beyonce’s criticism is just another instance of men telling women what to feel, how to feel and how to express those feelings. Walsh claims that Beyoncé is destroying our daughters, but what’s really destroying young girls is the notion that they must act the way that men expect them to act. Unfortunately these opinions aren’t isolated; they are just an indication of society’s views of women as a whole. But while society recovers from the shock of a woman having opinions, hopefully Beyonce and other female artists don’t cower down from these holier-than-thou attitudes and will keep making people squirm with their empowering messages.
People are only comfortable with silent, wellbehaved women.

The oral history of The Dingbat Dungeon
Kathleen Norman and Abby Dace perform with Toad Omen in 2015. BY CHRISTINE PALLON BUZZ EDITOR
On Saturday night, beloved Urbana house venue the Dingbat Dungeon held its last show, as longtime resident Gabe Kuhlman said farewell to the house he called home for so many years. This article is one section of a longform piece about the Dingbat Dungeon’s
history, culture and community. For the full story, head over to readbuzz.com. A week before the Dingbat Dungeon’s last show, Gabe Kuhlman was ready for closure — but he wasn’t quite ready to say goodbye. “I’ll probably cry,” he said, flipping through a photo album filled with grainy memories of shows gone by. When asked to clarify

whether he would cry during or after the show, he laughed: “both, probably.” Kuhlman is, as he puts it himself, “the last Dingbat.” Ever since his friend, roommate and bandmate Luke Strom moved out of the house this past summer, Kuhlman said that he felt he, too, would soon move on. Strom moved into the house in August 2014, having played at the space sever-
al times before when he was in the band Wolf Luv. “When Gabe and John (Menchaca) and the others moved into the place late 2012, I started hanging around,” Strom said. “I wanted to live there because rent was really cheap – and, since I was already going to all the shows there that I could, it was convenient that I could walk down the stairs to the gigs instead of down
the street.” During their time at the house, Kuhlman and Strom started a house band, The Dingbats, with Claire Everett and Brandon Rosa. As house band, The Dingbats opened numerous shows at the space; their fun, messy brand of punk often resulting in Kuhlman rolling on the floor barking like a dog into the P.A. Rosa actually lived in the basement of the Dingbat Dungeon when he first moved into the house. In the six months he spent living in the Dingbat basement, none of his stuff was stolen during shows. Perhaps this speaks to the sense of community surrounding the space. Kuhlman and Strom both said that they never had to make many efforts to create a safe and respectable environment at shows, because many showgoers were already invested in keeping shows safe. “Those who showed up mostly behaved themselves — we only had to throw anyone out a few times,” said Strom. Kathleen Norman, a longtime regular at Dingbat, recalled a time when someone was thrown out of a show for inappropriate behavior. “Someone was really wasted and basically walked over to me and grabbed my boob,” Norman said. “After I knocked him over, Gabe and I carried him out and literally kicked him out on the seat of his pants. Nobody knew who he was. But there was another show going on nearby where we think he came from. That was a totally oneoff thing and was handled perfectly.”
While the Dingbat Dungeon has never been a substance-free space, its shows were usually far from being “party” shows. Showgoer Nick Keeling said that the space always put the music first. “Dingbat was an essential house that encouraged creativity, inclusiveness and DIY ethics in general,” said Keeling. “It was the antithesis of a general keg n’ show party that other house shows were.” Abby Dace of Dry Heave met Norman – one of her best friends and bandmate in Toad Omen – at the space. Her band Dry Heave also played their first ever show there last fall. “Every single memory I have is full of happiness and hopefulness and a sense of finally feeling like I’ve been accepted somewhere,” said Dace. “The Dungeon and the people involved with it made me feel like I had a place I truly belong. I can truly and 100 percent honestly say that I do not know where I would be today without the Dingbat Dungeon.” Prior to Saturday’s show, Kuhlman looked forward to spending one last night with friends, saying that he’s never happier than he is after a show at the Dungeon. “I used to sit around after shows and Gabe would be leaning against the wall, or hanging onto the ceiling rafters or maybe seated on the washing machine,” said Norman. “He would say ‘wow, this is so cool. I didn’t ever think it would be like this. This is so awesome,’ with a big smile on his face.”

Students innovate apps to connect students on campus BY SARAH KATS CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Connecting with others via social media has become a common cultural tradition among college students. With applications ranging from Tinder to Yik Yak, a variety of options is available to students who want to keep in contact with one another. Recently, University students in Engineering have added two new apps to the mix: Shoutout and Meco.
Shoutout Shoutout was originally created by Mayank Jain, senior in Engineering, and Mehul Goyal, graduate student in Engineering, at the 2015 HackIllinois competition. The phone application was originally engineered as a way to monitor the line at Chipotle without having to waste time on travel. Following HackIllinois, Jain and Goyal expanded the application to different loca-
tions on campus. “Initially, we wanted to build something that solved this issue, but after building the prototype and winning a few awards at HackIllinois, we thought it would be interesting to continue working on it,” Jain said. “We continued with this process of adding features based on feedback we got from friends and what we thought people need.” The app allows users to see how many people are at a particular location, to find out the male-to-female ratio and to observe where specific people are. “It’s a more seamless way to know where and what everyone is doing,” Jain said.
Meco Meco founders Sunny Pruthi, senior in Engineering, and Neel Kothari, senior in Engineering, teamed up to create an app that allows users to subscribe to local events and then “match”
with others who also plan on attending. “One of the problems we saw with the current meetup and dating apps was when taking the interaction offline after you match with them,” Kothari said. “When you match with someone, the app tells you what event you’re both interested in going to, so you now have a public and safe place to meet.” The ability to connect with people based on shared interests in specific events is something the Meco founders believe can foster a different form of connection. “These kinds of niche events that you have a passion for where you can meet people with the same interests and jump start conversations will give you that kind of connectedness we hope to create,” Pruthi said. “We want to create something people need rather than want.”

ANGELA KERNDL THE DAILY ILLINI
Champaign’s Gallery 217 held an exhibition called Art of Science 6.0 to honor six years of common ground between science and art, Thusday through Sunday.
BY AISHWARYA RAJ STAFF WRITER
On the corner of Walnut Street and University Avenue in downtown Champaign, in the same area where former art gallery indi go Co-Op used to be, lies Gallery 217. This past Friday, the gallery was fi lled with artwork spanning the walls of both its floors as well as the people responsible for these illustrations. Nothing was unusual about the people or the artwork except for the fact that these artists were in fact scientists — genomic scientists to be specific — and the artwork were pictures taken from their research. This event was known as "Art of Science 6.0," and the idea behind it was to merge
both science and art to show genomic research is just as vividly captivating as the masterpieces lining the walls of modern art museums. This is the sixth year that the event has been running but the fi rst year that it has been held at Gallery 217. According to Mandy Danowitz, gallery manager, the idea was a novel concept to her because this is her fi rst time managing it, and she has been running the gallery since July. She said the event was “a feast for the soul and a feast for the mind.” To her, one of the unique aspects of this type of art show is that it bridged the aesthetic of art pieces with the scientific meaning and research behind them. Every piece in the showcase was a part of different
ongoing research investigations at Institute for Genomic Biology. One such piece was titled “Green Revolutions” by artist Dr. Amy Marshall-Colon, assistant professor in the Department of Plant Biology, who is heading the research on plant genes, specifically regarding gene expression and how genes react to environmental cues, such as light and nitrogen availability. When asked about the creative process as well as the methodology behind her art, she responded, “Color and shape are hugely important when we’re making these network models.” “I can use different shapes and different colors to categorize these different kinds of genes, and that helps me when I have a network of 800
to a 1,000 genes," MarshallColon said. "This also helps me zero in on certain molecules for further study.” To make these visual models, Marshall-Colon uses a free computer program called Cytoscape. She takes raw gene expression and feeds the numbers into Cytoscape, which then generates the visual networks that are depicted in her art piece. Courtney Cox, outreach and activities manager at IGB, also added that the goal of this program was to bring the science and research that is being done at the Institute into the community to get community members interested in the scientific problems the researchers are investigating. Every year, the "Art of Science" event evolves a little
bit more, and this year, it incorporated images from an entirely new set of research as well as the new microscopy which is an addition to the Genomic Institute. One common theme that stays the same from year to year is that the images incorporate genomes in some shape or form. “Anything living has a genome and that can be studied and we’ll have anything from plant cells to spider silk to even kidney stones,” Cox said. The show ran from Friday, April 29 to Sunday, May 1, after which the artwork will travel to places around the local community, such as Research Park, the Alumni Center and Willard Airport.

SafeRides: Not a free taxi service BY RACHEL LENOCI CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District has provided more than 32,450 SafeRides to the community since July 1, 2015. The service was created in 1989 when the University and MTD teamed up to make late-night transportation available to students on campus. Before then, SafeRides was originally called WomanRides, which was a similar service that was operated by women, for women. Today, the service is a door-to-door transportation system free to both men and women on campus. Citizens of the C-U area can also use this service, provided they pay a fee of $1 and are in the SafeRide boundaries. Many students who try to use the system will be rejected if they are near a
bus route. “I want people to use SafeRides if the buses aren’t going to take them there, if they're by themselves," said Amy Snyder, customer service manager for MTD. "I don’t want people using SafeRides when they’re a block away from a bus and they’re going to a dorm." SafeRides is very time consuming because of its drop-off system, making it difficult for them to care for everyone in a timely manner. This is why they encourage students to use the bus system. “What I’m concerned about is the expectations people have," Snyder said. "The service is called SafeRides. It’s not called 'FastRides,' and people get frustrated with how long they’re on the van." Even though some users
may get irritated with the time it takes to get home, Snyder said SafeRides is well-promoted and used. Students have even asked for more SafeRide services when the contract between the University and Champaign-Urbana MTD got renewed. While the number of SafeRides being used seems high, many students have not used the free service because it seems inconvenient. “I haven’t really needed to. I usually just take the bus or walk,” said Rachel Magnus, junior in Media. “I think it’s good to have for people that feel unsafe using Ubers or buses.” Farya Haider, freshman in LAS, said she would use SafeRides but has never had the need. “I defi nitely think it’s a
good program," Haider said. "It’s really reliable, and it’s necessary sometimes in situations that you might not expect yourself to be in or just a time when you don’t have any other method of transportation." Students should not regard SafeRides as a free taxi service; instead, they should use it when they need help. Taking advantage of this transportation system could be taking away from someone on campus who actually needs a SafeRide. “I think students should take SafeRides to maintain their safety and keep the campus safe," Snyder said. "Nobody should be in a situation where they feel vulnerable." SafeRides covers the campus area, including areas where graduate students live and pockets of campus

NEXT STEP First Illini chosen since 2013
BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
Former Illinois defensive lineman Jihad Ward kept his cellphone close to him Friday night. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound pass rusher sat on defensive line coach Mike Phair’s couch — the same spot he sat just 24 hours prior — waiting patiently to fi nd out which NFL team would take a chance on his potential in this year’s draft. His name wasn’t called in the fi rst round Thursday. But Friday, Ward had his eyes glued to the TV, with his phone sitting on the table directly in front of him. With each second-round choice, Ward saw his name
climb up ESPN’s “best available” rankings on the bottom of the screen, and his heart rate climbed along with them. Twelve picks into the second round, Ward’s eyes shifted from the television screen to the buzz of his phone as he heard his named called in front of the thousands of fans attending the NFL Draft in Chicago. Then came the tears. “Once I got that call, I didn’t know what to do except shed a tear,” Ward said. With the 44th pick, the Oakland Raiders selected Ward, a former JUCO player from Philadelphia who quickly made a name for himself chasing after Big
Jihad Ward Oakland Raiders Ward was drafted in the second round, 44th overall. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound defensive end has warranted interest from across the league since impressing at pro days in March, and his draft stock has only risen since. The former JUCO transfer totaled 104 tackles, 4.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss in two seasons with Illinois. He was an honorable mention All-Big Ten in each of his two seasons. Ward was invited to attend the draft in Chicago, Illinois, an honor usually reserved for those expected to go in the first round, but declined in order to complete his degree at Illinois.
Ten quarterbacks. Ward ended a two-year draft night drought for Illinois and was the highest Illini drafted since Whitney Mercilus was taken 26th overall in 2012. “I still can’t believe it,” Ward said shortly after his selection. “It was just hard for me to be good on and off the field since I was a kid, but I learned my lessons, and I’m glad I fought through it. Sometimes you’ve got to go through the worst to get to the great.” Ward will have the chance to immediately contribute to a Raiders defense that has a nice combination of veterans like Bruce Irvin and young stars like Khalil Mack. Ward said he
is excited to go to the West Coast for the fi rst time in his life and will continue to set lofty goals for himself. “I feel like I have not made it,” Ward said. “That’s the mindset that I’ve got to have.

Ted Karras New England Patriots Karras was drafted in the sixth round, 221st overall. He was the de facto leader of the 2015 Illini offensive line. The team captain had a solid career at Illinois, starting in 43 games. The three-star recruit out of high school redshirted his freshman season, but by his senior season he played in 88.6% of the snaps on the season. Karras was the seventh member of his family to play football in the Big Ten, and will be the fifth to play in the NFL. He was named third team All-Big Ten in 2015. The senior protected Wes Lunt all season, as his line only allowed 20 sacks all season, or 1.67 per game.
sixth round. He will be the fi fth Karras to play in the NFL — the fi rst since his father in 1987 — and is thrilled to be next in line. “It’s been my goal since I was a kid,” Karras said. “It’s defi nitely an honor to me to continue that tradition. It’s a whole new chapter in my life and new chapter in our family’s history.” Rounding out Illinois’ three draft picks was walkon safety standout Clayton Fejedelem who was taken by the Cincinnati Bengals in the seventh and fi nal round. With a stellar senior season, Fejedelem vaulted himself from a virtual unknown to a likely spe-
cial teams contributor in the pros. Three more Illini were picked up by NFL teams as undrafted free agents. Cornerback V’angelo Bentley will join Karras in New England, wide receiver Gernomio Allison will go north to play for the Green Bay Packers and running back Josh Ferguson signed with the running-deprived Indianapolis Colts. Barring roster cuts, Illinois will be represented by 18 players in the upcoming NFL season. “I’m an Illini for life,” Ward said. “Now it’s time to go on.”

Clayton Fejedelem Cincinnati Bengals Fejedelem was drafted in the seventh round, 245th overall. In his first full season as a starter for Illinois, Fejedelem exceeded expectations and then some. The 6-foot-1 safety had a nose for the ball, recording a team-best 140 tackles, which was the most by an Illini since 2006. His 11.7 tackles per game led the Big Ten and was good for fifth-best in the nation. He also picked off two balls, recorded 4.5 tackles for loss and returned a blocked kick for a touchdown. Fejedelem’s breakout senior season earned him All-Big Ten second team honors and put him on the map for a possible selection for the NFL draft.

Showers couldn’t hold back runners
Hartville reflects on historic career BY JAMES BOYD STAFF WRITER
BY MATT GERTSMEIER STAFF WRITER
It was a case of déjà vu at the eighth annual Christie Clinic Illinois marathon Saturday morning. In last year’s race, runners had to battle against a consistent rainfall until lightning cancelled the race after three hours. This year, there was no lightning, but there was rain – and it wouldn’t let up. Neither did the runners. There were 18, 352 entrants who competed in the marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, youth run, and I-Challenge, according to the marathon’s website. As rain pelted their faces, runners celebrated lifting their arms as they crossed the fi nish line. Most runners had their bibs fastened to typical athletic clothing or ponchos, while others were seen wearing unconventional race attire such as tutus, capes, or costumes for different causes and motivations.

Despite the rain, runners smile in response to cheering bystanders as they run up 6th St. in the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon on Saturday. But some runners had their motivation etched on their skin in ink. Cameron Rieger, a former cross-country runner from the University of Iowa who currently resides in Chicago, has a small tattoo of an orange ribbon on his upper back. The tattoo is in honor of his mother who passed away two-and-a-half years ago from leukemia. Rieger, who has been competitively running since he was 13 years old said his mom was always his biggest supporter “Having that on my back, when it starts to hurt out in the rain, in the cold, in the heat,” Rieger said. “It’s extra motivation for me to do everything I can to push through it and fi n-
ish as hard as possible.” He fi nished second place in the half-marathon with a time of 1 hour, 12 minutes and 16 seconds, a personal best. Rieger also credited his strong performance to the rain explaining that the cool rain helps keep his body temperature regulated rather than overheating on a warm day. The rain also didn’t seem to bother the women’s marathon fi rst place fi nisher Gisela Olalde Granados who fi nished with a time of 2 hours, 43 minutes and 18 seconds. She said it was her eighth marathon and her fourth win. Granados who has a 13-month-old and five-year-old at home

Hat backwards, decked out in orange and blue, senior gymnast Fred Hartville takes a seat on a windowsill at Kenney Gym. The white paint on the sill is cracked, a sign of age and deterioration. Look one way, and you’ll see brand new murals of Illinois legends like Paul Ruggeri and C.J. Maestas. Look the other, and the gym looks like it has had better days. But Hartville sits there, thinking about his time at Illinois, before he enters one of the last team meetings of his career. In his four years, he’s had his fair share of success, but at this stage, he is far from the gymnast he used to be. “Coming in as a freshman I was fresh,” Hartville said. “I was still a spring chicken. I could do whatever. I could bounce back from injuries and it was fi ne.” Hartville began his career winning the Big Ten title and NCAA title on vault, making him the fi rst true freshman to complete the feat in Illinois history. Then came his sophomore year, which perhaps was the most pivotal.

Illini exit tournament despite strong day one performance Buckeyes take a 4-0 win, ends team’s season BY TIM GRIFFIN STAFF WRITER
After advancing past No. 5 Maryland, the Illinois women’s tennis team was ousted by No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday in the Big Ten tournament. The Illini faced off against the Terrapins on Friday, eventually notching a 4-1 victory to advance to the Big Ten semifinals for the first time since 2012. This was Illinois’ 15th win of the season, making this the first 15-win season for the Illini since 2012. “This was one of the best matches we played all year top-to-bottom, so for it to come in the postseason is a positive sign,” head coach Evan Clark said. “We played well across the board in doubles, and it was great to get three straight-set singles wins from Madie (Baillon), Ines (Vias) and Jaclyn (Switkes).” This win put the Illini up against the Buckeyes on Saturday. The Buckeyes defeated No. 9 Wisconsin 4-0 on Friday. Ohio State proved to be too much for the Illini, defeat-
ing them 4-0. The Buckeyes would go on to win the Big Ten Tournament, taking down No. 3 Michigan in the final, 4-2. “Lots of credit to Ohio State on their play today and the year they are having,” Clark said. “The match was much closer than the score but we couldn’t quite put that first point on the board.” The Illini proved competitive in doubles play early against the Buckeyes, jumping out to 2-1 leads at both No. 1 and No. 3 doubles. But the highly-ranked duo of Anna Sanford and Miho Kowase proved to be too much for Louise Kwong and Vias at No. 1 doubles. “We had a lot of opportunities in doubles but couldn’t quite capitalize,” Clark said. “As always, that ended up being a huge point today.” Despite being down one, the Illini battled in singles play. Switkes, Vias, Baillon and Daniela Pedraza Novak battled against each of their counterparts, either pushing it to three sets or going unfinished. “In singles, I couldn’t have been prouder of our fight and the way we competed,” Clark said.

Illinois lets Big Ten series fall from its grips at home, loses to Minnesota BY ETHAN SWANSON STAFF WRITER
There were few bright spots in Sunday’s series conclusion against Minnesota for the Illinois baseball team. With the series tied 1-1 heading into the final game, many expected another tight battle between Illinois (21-19, 7-8 Big Ten) and No. 19 Minnesota (27-13, 11-3). However, it was evident early the Gophers had no intentions of keeping the
game close, jumping all over any Illini pitcher that took the mound against the dangerous Gopher lineup. And with three errors and three base running mistakes, the Illini gave little resistance. “…We lost a lot of focus late in the game and didn’t give ourselves an opportunity to get back in the game,” head coach Dan Hartleb said. “There are days we take a step forward, and then there’s
days where we’re mediocre. That’s more mental than physical.” After a strong first inning, allowing one hit and no runs with a strikeout, Illinois starting pitcher Cole Bellair couldn’t seem to find his grove against a Gopher lineup that featured five left-handed batters. The freshman righthander was shelled in the second inning, giving up five runs on six hits and one Illini throwing error. Four
of the six hits Bellair gave up came with two strikes on the board, three of which were 0-2. “If we make a play in that second inning, there’s a zero up on the board,” Hartleb said. “If you can do that, you never know how the game unfolds. In a 5-0 hole, freshman Quinten Sefcik took the mound in third but would find himself in early trouble as well. Sefcik walked three batters in the inning and

in Nashville, Tennessee, was encouraged to run by her husband who is from Illinois. Granados said her kids motivate her to run. “It’s nice to go out there and my son he says, ‘Mommy are you going to run?’,” Grandados said. “He doesn’t care if I get first place or third.” While Rieger and Granados were inspired by family, others were driven with a certain date in mind – April 17, 2017, the Boston Marathon. The 2012 Illinois Marathon was Eli Soliz’s first ever marathon. Since then he ran the 2013 Boston Marathon and a Quad Cities Marathon. The qualifying time for this year’s Boston Marathon for Soliz’s age group is 3 hours, and 10 minutes. Soliz finished this year’s Illinois Marathon in three hours, four minutes, 55 seconds. Despite Soliz’s other marathon experiences, he says Illinois is one of his favorite races to run in. “The crowd’s great, course is great, a little bit of a hill there at (mile) 24 kicks your butt,” Soliz said. “But I love the course, it’s great.”
wasn’t the only thing plaguing the underclassman. Hartville had been keeping a secret from his family, his team and at one point even hisself, and eventually it just became too much for him to bear. “At first you just always feel like you have to hide it, even as inclusive as this team and athletic department is,” Hartville said. “(Owning it) is more so for that individual person to just be able to walk down the street and not feel like there’s this shadow following you.” The secret Hartville had been keeping was that he is gay. He first admitted it to his former teammate Cameron Rogers, and after finding the courage to no longer hide his sexuality, he also told his family and finally his team. Hartville told his team in May 2014, during Illinois’ annual team pig roast. It was just a few weeks into the off-season, and since that moment the senior said he hasn’t thought twice about it. “I didn’t have to worry about someone thinking this or that,” Hartville said. “It’s just a weight off of your shoulders.” With his announcement Hartville became the first active openly gay athlete in Illinois history.
gertsme2@dailyillini. com @MattGertsmeier
Head coach Justin Spring said he has worked extremely hard to build a program that doesn’t discriminate or exclude anyone, so when Hartville told the team, Spring believes it only made them stronger. “That’s the whole value of diversity,” Spring said. “You need all walks of life. That’s a real big thing that I constantly preach to my team, and I think we recruit young men that are super open minded and accepting of people that have different religious beliefs and sexual orientation and all of the above.” Hartville said that sharing one of the most intimate aspects of his life with his teammates and coaching staff was liberating. Spring understands the magnitude of Hartville coming out, but added that to the team it was no big deal. Hartville was just one of the guys. After rehabbing his knee, Hartville entered his junior year with a clear mindset of who he was and what he wanted to accomplish. During the 2015 season, the former Illinois most valuable player regained his prominence on vault and earned the Big Ten title with a score of 15.275. Then, a few weeks later during warmups of the NCAA Championships, Hartville ruptured his
achilles and missed out on his chance to win a second national title. Hartville would never be crowned an NCAA champion again. After being named an All-American in 2013,

Hartville didn’t even earn a single vault title during his senior season.
allowed an off-the-wall double to Gopher Micah Coffey, but he was able to limit the damage to just one run. The Illini got in the bottom of the third. Hits from Trent Hammond, Jack Yalowitz and Jason Goldstein loaded the bases for Illinois, setting up Michael Hurwitz for an RBI ground-out. After relief pitcher Charlie Naso entered the game in the fourth, Illinois and Minnesota began to exchange runs. Hammond’s RBI in the bottom of the fourth made the score 6-2, but an error by Illini shortstop Adam Walton on a Goldstein pickoff attempt at second would cost Illinois a run in the fifth and bring the deficit back to five runs. Naso’s day ended in the sixth inning after Gopher Austin Athmann bombed a two-run shot over the leftfield wall, bringing in Illini lefty J.D. Nielson with one out. Nielson got out of the inning but not before an RBI triple from Minnesota’s Alex Boxwell made it a 10-2 game. “They hit every mistake our pitchers made,” Goldstein said. “We hit every mistake their pitchers made, but they found more holes than we did. That’s what baseball is about.” Despite the daunting deficit, Illinois battled back. The Illini once again loaded the bases in the bottom of the sixth with two outs. Subsequent singles from Doran Turchin and Goldstein drove in three runs to gain back the ground they lost in the top frame. From that point on, the “I always go back and think about how much success I had back then, and how it kind of dwindled down throughout my four years here,” Hartville said. “But then I also sit back and think that must people don’t (win an NCAA title) at all.” A former national champion as well, Spring said that the i nju r ies H a r t v i l le endured throughout his career are nothing to be ashamed of. Spring described gymnastics as a very grueling sport, and after going through nine surgeries himself, he said that sometimes your body just fails you. Graduation is now less than two weeks away, and with it comes the end of Hartville’s academic and gymnastics career at

Key Player: Doran Turchin – went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs Quote of the Game: “They hit every mistake our pitchers made,” Goldstein said. “We hit every mistake their pitchers made, but they found more holes than we did. That’s what baseball is about.” – Jason Goldsteinag Hidden Stat: Michael Hurwitz’s 15-game hit streak came to an end Sunday Next Up: Tuesday, May 3 vs Missouri, 6:00 p.m., GCS Ballpark, Sauget, Illinois
Gophers would put the game out of reach for good. Two Minnesota home runs in the eighth off Illini closer Nick Blackburn brought the game to a nearly insurmountable 14-5 score heading into the final inning. Turchin would launch a solo homer in the ninth, but that was all the offense Illinois had left, ultimately losing 14-6. “We haven’t played a team this year that we thought we couldn’t beat,” Goldstein said. “Hopefully the next time we come out and swing the bat like we did today, we score 15 instead of 6…the talent is there.”

The senior is unsure of what he wants to do after commencement and doesn’t know if he’ll move to Chicago for a new start or go back to his hometown of Atlanta. Either way, Hartville said that he is okay with the uncertainty because this time around, it has nothing to do with the man he sees in the mirror. “The only person I can be is me,” Hartville said. “I’m the best person that’s doing it. Everyone else is taken, so I can only live for me. I don’t try to be this athlete that people want me to be. I don’t try to be your stereotypical gay person. I just go out and be Fred.”

Summary: The Illini put up many positive results at the Drake Relays, but their biggest achievement was claiming the shuttle hurdles for the first time since 2001. Key Performer: Jasmine Berry ran in the third position of the winning shuttle hurdles relay team. She is a sprinter and had not run the 100-meter hurdles in two years. Hidden Stat: Valerie
Bobart brought her best time in the 300-meter steeplechase down by almost 12 seconds. Quote of the day: “The biggest treat of all of this is that they really enjoy each other. They really enjoy working with each other and they really enjoy being there for each other. And that has allowed these four women to progress.” - Assistant coach Randy Gillon on the members of the Shuttle Hurdles Relay team.
this weekend was a step in the right direction for her, and he hopes that she can carry some momentum into the Big Ten championships. While the weekend was full of positives for the Illini, the most important result came in the shuttle hurdle relays. The “hurdle gang” of sophomore Pedrya Seymourmk, freshman Jayla Stewart and junior Kortni Smyers-Jones were joined by sophomore sprinter Jasmine Berrymk in the shuttle hurdle relays, an event that none of the competitors had ever run before. According to assistant coach Randy Gillonmk, Berry hadn't run a competitive 100-meter hurdle race since high school. “Jasmine Berry was really the unsung hero of this whole thing,” Gillon said. “For her to step up after being about two years removed from the event — and have that kind of composure — was pretty special.” The Illini won the preliminary rounds with a time of 56.73 seconds. Seymour and 2009 Stewart, who 26. hadJan already qualified for the finals in the 100-meter hurdles the previous day, dropped out of the 100-meter hurdles altogether 8 on the1shuttle hurdle to focus relays. 8 Their choice paid9off, and

Marissa DeWispelare. Bobart cut her time by about 12 seconds from the UCF meet. “(Bobart) is now approaching a level where she could reach the NCAA championship first rounds.,” said head coach Ron Garner. “That would be a very significant achievement for her this season.” The pole vaulters rebounded for the Illini after neither made a single vault at the Illinois Twilight. The event had to be moved indoors due to the cold, rainy and windy weather that plagued the event all weekend. That did not stop senior Jenifer DeBellis from setting a season-best by clearing 4.05 meters and finishing in 11th on tiebreaks. Sophomore Sara McKeeman also got back on track, clearing 3.90 meters and finishing in 21st place. Junior high jumper Kandie Bloch-Jones also made improvements after a disappointing weekend last time out. She cleared 1.73 meters, the mark she failed to clear at the Illinois Twilight, and finished sixth. Bloch-Jones has yet to reclaim the form she was in during the indoor season, when she cleared 1.81 meters on several occasions. 6 that 4 However, Garner said

The Illinois women's track and field team is picking up momentum heading into the Big Ten championships on May 14. The Drake Relays was the last major meet for the Illini, and the team churned out some strong performances. Senior Lindsey Rakosnik opened the long weekend for the Illini by setting a personal best in the 800-meter after an underwhelming performance at last weekend's Illinois Twilight.
She came in seventh overall in a tightly-contested field with a time of 2:09.68. The runners who placed from third to ninth all finished within a second of each other. Junior Nicole Choquette finished just behind Rakosnik in tenth with a time of 2:10.92. Sophomore Valerie Bobart ran the 3000-meter steeplechase for the first time since she ran unopposed at the UCF dual meet — this time setting another personal record. She finished fourth with a time of 10:30.70, less than a second behind Doane College's

Illini back to .500 with Hawkeyes sweep BY LUCAS WRIGHT STAFF WRITER
The Illinois softball team completed its sweep over Iowa on Sunday with an 8-0, five-inning win.
Allie Bauch set the tone for the rest of the game in the first inning with a home run to right field. “I was just trying to stay up there relaxed and do my
thing, do my role,” Bauch said. “She’d been throwing me a lot of change-ups, so I actually did feel like that was going to be coming.” Following Bauch’s lead,
the team plated six runs on four hits, including singles from Nicole Evans, Ruby Rivera and Alyssa Gunther. The Illini made sure to take advantage of the poor

play by the Iowa defense. The Hawkeyes committed three errors in the first inning, leading to two unearned runs from Illinois. However, Illinois head coach Tyra Perry believes her team was not handed the game by the Iowa defense. “I think it’s a little bit of both. We hit the ball, and there’s the reason you want to hit the ball,” Perry said. “It puts pressure on the defense and causes the opportunity for errors.” With six runs of support in the first inning, the Illini paved the way for junior pitcher Jade Vecvanags to get in a groove against the Hawkeye lineup. Vecva nags cr u ised through the five-inning game, allowing only two hits and adding two strikeouts on the game. It was Vecvanags’ first conference start since April 9 at Minnesota, but she said that she said the time off didn't affect her. “I felt really relaxed and ready to go,” Vecvanags said. “I just went out there trusting my defense, trusting my teammates and trusting... all the work I’ve been putting in the last
couple weeks with all the behind-the-scenes work with our staff.” Illinois was in complete control of the game entering the fifth inning with a chance to shut out Iowa in a short game. Evans drove in the Illini’s seventh run of the day with a line-drive single to right. The final blow came off the bat of sophomore Annie Fleming. Fleming hit a grounder to the right side of the infield that was overthrown to second base. Gunther came around from second to score the final run of the contest. Iowa ended the game with eight errors, matching Illinois’ run total for the game. The win brought the Illini back to .500 in conference play with three conference games remaining. They have a chance to make their way into the top five in the conference before the tournament. “This is just what we needed,” Bauch said. “We’re staying on the upswing with perfect timing at the end of the year. It gets us ready to go into the postseason.”
